Konoha's Ninja Successor

"Sandaime! As the Hokage, I..."

"Sakumo!" Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and put his hand on Hatake Sakumo's shoulder, interrupting Hatake Sakumo's refusal, and then said: "Sakumo, if you hadn't voluntarily given up on the mission that time before, In order to cause Konoha to suffer heavy losses, I actually planned to transfer the position of the Fourth Hokage to you. After so many years, the impact of this incident has almost disappeared, and it is time for you to take on this responsibility!"

"Sandaime, please take back your life, I am not qualified!"

Hatake Sakumo frowned. He believed that he, a person who had caused Konoha to suffer heavy losses, was not qualified to sit on the position of Hokage, so he resolutely rejected the third generation's kindness.

"Sakumo, Danzo and I are both old, and I no longer have the energy to be the Hokage. You are the only one I can trust in Konoha now. Do you want to watch Konoha continue to decline?" The Sandaime changed his tone and began Play the emotional card.

After Shimura Danzo heard what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, the corner of his mouth always hurt unconsciously, and his heart was filled with unknown anger!

Seeing that Hatake Sakumo was moved by his words, Sarutobi Hiruzen struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Where the leaves are flying, the fire also grows endlessly. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make the new leaves sprout. Sakumo, you You are the Konoha ninja who has inherited the will of fire. I entrust all the trust and responsibility of the previous Hokages to you, and please do not refuse."

Speaking of the emotional point, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes became wet.

Hatake Sakumo's heart warmed when he was told that, and finally he gritted his teeth and responded to Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations, lowered his head and said: "I understand, Sandaime!"

"Sakumo!!!"

"Sandaime!!!"

"Hokage-sama is so great, and the Hyuga clan will definitely support Sakumo with all our strength, no! It belongs to the Godaime-sama, wuwuwu..."

Danzo Shimura's eyelids twitched as he looked at the moved people, and he really couldn't bear to watch anymore.Danzo, who originally planned to oppose Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision to authorize the Hokage, had nothing to say at this time, so Danzo turned around and left without saying a word, out of sight and out of mind.

The next day, Hatake Sakumo was removed from his position as the ANBU leader by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and was restored to the rank of Konoha's elite jounin, plus the title of the third-generation Hokage's direct escort ninja.The Sandaime also began to build momentum for him, promoting White Fang's superior performance on the battlefield among civilians, and preparing for his successor as the Fifth Hokage after his return.

Hatake Sakumo also put on the attire of a jounin that he had not worn for a long time. On his back was the White Fang, the powerful ninja sword in the ninja world. His left arm was a white short-sleeved shirt made of the same material as the Hokage's robe, with the words The word "fire" contains the meaning of the will of fire.From the moment he left the village and was greeted by countless Konoha people and ninjas, Konoha White Fang officially returned from the darkness to the light.

Nara Shikaku, who was in charge of specific diplomatic matters, Hatake Kakashi who accompanied him as an escort, Kai who went by the alias Yamato, and dozens of elite Konoha ninjas accompanied him on the mission.

After half a month, the Konoha mission, led by Hatake Sakumo, negotiated an alliance treaty with Suna Ninja Village.

It was not all smooth sailing. Hatake Sakumo also encountered difficulties from Chiyo. After all, Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law both died in the hands of Hatake Sakumo because of the war.However, in the end, Chiyo's publicity outweighed his selfishness, and he still chose to compromise and seek the most practical interests for Suna Ninja Village.

After Hatake Sakumo reached an agreement, he quickly rushed back to Konoha, and the news of the alliance between Suna Ninja Village and Konoha Village spread quickly.At this time, the fourth generation Raikage Ai, who realized that he had been tricked by the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's delaying trick, was instantly furious and directly announced that he would attack Konoha Village.

At the same time, Onoki, the Tsuchikage Two Scales, was not as furious as the Raikage after receiving the news of the alliance between Konoha and Suna Ninja Village, nor did he immediately declare an attack on Konoha Village to the outside world.Instead, he secretly observed the actions of Yun Ninja Village and waited for opportunities in secret.

At the same time, Sakumo Hatake of Konoha Village immediately held a succession ceremony for the Hokage as soon as he returned to the village. A new era for Sakumo Hatake, the fifth generation Hokage of Konoha, has arrived.

The core of Konoha, including the Hyuga clan, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Inokacho, all support Hatake Sakumo. Hatake Sakumo's position has been stable from the beginning, and Hatake Sakumo has no worries. Begin to respond with all your strength to the attack in Yun Ninja Village.

After Hatake Sakumo came to power, he changed Konoha's past soft style and used a tough attitude to suppress the Raikage's arrogance.

Konoha Village and Raiyin Village have been engaged in a war for half a year. Iwa Ninja Village is also making some small moves secretly. Hatake Sakumo also allows the support of Suna Ninja Village to join the battlefield.During the war, the younger generation of Konoha also grew up rapidly, and a young rookie full of potential appeared, that is Shunshen Shisui of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Shisui used his powerful strength to defeat the morale of the Kumo Ninja Village, and killed more than ten Kumo Ninja Murakami Ninja at a young age.

In addition to Uchiha Shisui, there are other Konoha geniuses who have made their own names.Hatake Kakashi, the son of the Fifth Generation and known as the Little White Fang, and the young people in the elite ANBU team headed by Kai in the Root Organization are all using their "light and heat" to illuminate the ninja world.

The Yondaime Raikage had always thought that Konoha, which was weak and weak and could be bullied, actually broke out with such fighting power. The usually impulsive and irritable Raikage Ai suddenly couldn't sit still.

Ai personally went to the front line to coordinate the troops to fight. After learning the news, Hatake Sakumo also went to the battlefield in person to prevent the Konoha troops from being massacred by the enemy Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage Ai finally met Hatake Sakumo. After the two met, they asked their troops to retreat. The meeting was an all-out showdown without mercy. This was also the first time in the ninja world after many years. A showdown between shadow-level warriors appeared on the ground.

Raikage Ai's Thunder Release is quite impressive, especially his super-fast speed that is almost invisible. From the beginning, he suppressed Hatake Sakumo and found it difficult to fight back, and he was once at a disadvantage.

But how could the long-famous Konoha White Fang be a vegetarian? Hatake Sakumo relied on calm thinking and super powerful assassination methods to defeat the fourth generation Raikage Ai.In the end, the ninja tool White Fang was broken, and Hatake Sakumo used a powerful thunder escape ninjutsu to penetrate Ai's thunder escape armor.

The location where Hatake Sakumo targeted the opportunity to attack was Raikage Ai's heart, but Raikage Ai still avoided the vital point with his super fast reaction and speed, successfully avoiding direct death.

Although he avoided the fatal blow that Hatake Sakumo had planned for a long time, it also caused Raikage Ai to be severely injured.At the same time as he was almost injured, Raikage Ai Gang's fierce counterattack also caused a big loss to Hatake Sakumo. Hatake Sakumo was knocked out and he vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

But after all, it was Raikage who was more seriously injured. No matter how unwilling Raikage was, he could only withdraw his troops and leave.

Hatake Sakumo's action and Raikage Ai's serious injury directly changed the situation of the war. In the end, the Cloud Ninja Village finally evacuated from the border battlefield of the Land of Fire and all returned to the Cloud Ninja Village.

At this point, the war between Konoha Village and Kumo Ninja Village ended, and Hatake Sakumo became famous throughout the ninja world again.
