Konoha's Ninja Successor

Inside the Hokage's office.

Most of the assembled jonins have arrived, and half of them are injured, which is obviously the result of this Nine-Tails attack.

The jounin discussed each other and shared their information.Except for a few ANBU who knew about it, most people only knew about the Nine-Tails breaking the seal in Konoha Village.

Among the Jonin, there was the youngest white-haired boy who was looking around. This boy was Hatake Kakashi.He glanced around at the crowd. Except for the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen who was on the stage with his eyes closed, he did not see his teacher Minato Namikaze. This discovery gave him an unknown premonition.

Could it be that, teacher, he...

While Kakashi was frowning, a white-haired figure wearing a mask walked into the office. This familiar figure refreshed Kakashi's mind. He dispersed those thoughts in his mind and tried to straighten his waist and let himself go. Act smart.

The eyes under the white-haired man's mask looked at Kakashi and then looked away.

The white-haired man walked up to Hiruzen Sarutobi and nodded. Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, all the Jonin who could come had arrived. Sarutobi Hiruzen did not waste time and immediately started an emergency meeting. The top priority now was to quickly restore order in Konoha.

"Everyone, you should also know that this Nine-Tails attack caused Konoha to suffer huge losses. Just now, the Fourth Hokage and Namikaze Minato sealed the Nine-Tails at the cost of their lives in order to protect the village!" Sarutobi Hiruzen informed this extremely cruel fact in a low voice.

"The Yondaime him?!"

"Impossible, how could Minato do that?"

The jounin below instantly started to be in an uproar. After Namikaze Minato came to power, Konoha's prestige increased day by day, and his usually gentle and gentle image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.So when Sarutobi Hiruzen announced the news of his death, most people were unwilling to believe it or accept it.

Many of the Jonin were friends with Namikaze Minato, and they had a close relationship with him. They all showed sad expressions after receiving the news.Whether it was the Inozuka, Hinata, or the always aloof and taciturn Uchiha Fugaku, they all showed sad expressions, which was enough to show the influence of Minato Namikaze in Konoha.

Teacher, he really...

Kakashi endured the grief and clenched his fists. Today, another person he valued left him forever. Kakashi lonelyly touched the forehead protector covering his left eye, feeling a tearing feeling in his heart. pain.

"Ahem!" Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed, and the noisy crowd below slowly silenced and turned their attention to the Sandaime Hokage.

"In addition to the fourth generation of Feng Shuimon, Shimura Teru also died in this turmoil..." Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly.

"Lord Lianhui!"

"This is not true. Is the sky falling?"

Shimura Teru's prestige is not low. Among the younger generation, the only people who can take charge of their own affairs are Namikaze Minato and Shimura Teru. Both of them are the most anticipated future stars in Konoha.Now that the news of the death of the two came, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for all Konoha ninjas.

"In addition to teachers, even senior Hui also died! How could this happen?"

The scene of Shimura Teru teaching him ninjutsu came to Kakashi's mind. The senior who always taught and scolded him with a cold face was like the teacher, and he would never see it again in the future...

"Hiruzen, no way, Lian Huidu?"

The expressions of Mito Katoyan and Koharu who were sleeping in the elder group changed instantly. They were completely different from when they heard the news of Minato Namikaze's death. If the death of the Yondaime was bad news for them, Teru Shimura's death would undoubtedly be. Killed half their lives.

Shimura Teru is one of the few young ninjas in Konoha Village who is willing to get close to the two old guys. In addition, Shimura Teru has been his teacher for a period of time in both illusion and ninjutsu. It can be said that Koharu and Mito Katoba considers him as his own child.

Now that they heard the news of Shimura Teru's death, how could the two of them bear it.

"I sent someone to confirm, and it is indeed Fai's body." Sarutobi Hiruzen turned away, not daring to look at the pleading eyes of his former teammates.

"Hui..." When he went to bed, Xiaochun's body softened and he fainted instantly.

"Koharu!" Mito Kadoen and Sarutobi Hiruzen were so frightened that they quickly supported Koharu who was sleeping. It seemed that Shimura Teru's death was a huge blow to them.

"Hiruzen, I'll take Koharu down to rest first. You can continue..." Mito Kadoyan sighed, said goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then took Mito Kadoba out.

The Jonin all made way out of the way and watched Mito Kadobu leaving with Koharu on his back, feeling very uncomfortable in their hearts.

Suddenly, the morale of Konoha's jounin dropped to its lowest point.

"The village has suffered heavy losses this time, and we have no time to grieve now. We must immediately restore order in the village, guard against unscrupulous people outside the village taking advantage of the situation, and the reconstruction of the village must be carried out immediately. Next, by I, the third generation Hiruzen Sarutobi, will assign tasks!"

"Jaw, Hizu, you Inuzuka clan and Hyuga clan are cooperating to carry out reconnaissance and rescue work within the village, and quickly find the affected survivors."

"Yes!!!" Inuzuka Jaw and Hinata Hizashi turned around and left with their tribesmen, and quickly launched into the rescue work.

"Shikaku, you quickly go and collect the casualty data, and the coordination of the injured and the hospital is also left to you!"

"Understood, Sandaime." Nara Shikaku sighed, turned and left with a heavy heart, ready to start his own work.

"The Uchiha clan's security team is responsible for maintaining order, the Akimichi clan is responsible for rescue work, and the Yamanaka clan..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was worthy of being a veteran Hokage with many years of experience in governing. He issued instructions very quickly, making Konoha's temporarily stagnant large machine run quickly.

Rescue, treatment, enemy defense and other work contents are quickly assigned to suitable tasks according to the ninja's different specialties, achieving maximum manpower utilization.If things continue like this smoothly, Konoha can quickly return to its usual rhythm of life.

All jounin were assigned tasks, and everyone including Kakashi left the Hokage's office to complete their tasks. Only the white-haired man and Sarutobi Hiruzen were left in the office.

"Hiruzen...how do you plan to tell Danzo about the death of Shimura Teru?" the white-haired man said after being silent for a moment.

"I..."

"Bang!!!"

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, the door to the Hokage's office exploded.The ANBU guards directly under the Hokage who were dormant on the side appeared instantly and guarded in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

They looked at Shimura Danzo who walked into the office as if they were facing an enemy. Shimura Danzo had a sullen face, ignoring the hostility of the ANBU ninjas towards him, looked at the white-haired man and said in a deep voice: "What did you just say? Teru? he died?"

Endless murderous intent rushed towards the white-haired man, and the ANBU guards who were not directly facing the murderous intent also felt the taste of fear for the first time in a long time. The legs of those who lacked perseverance trembled slightly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo Shimura who was in a furious state. He didn't know how long it had been since he saw Danzo like this. He knew that this moment would come sooner or later, so he put down his cigarette pot and stood up to look at him.

"I've confirmed it, Hui... died in the battle."
