Konoha: The New Will of Fire

After unlocking the barrier seal, the four root ninjas found the entrance to the tomb with ease and started digging.

For Danzo, practice makes perfect. In order to obtain the Sharingan, he dug up many Uchiha clan's tombs.

Soon, the entrance to the tomb was excavated. Danzo walked into the dark tomb passage that exuded the smell of decay. He walked along the tomb passage for almost ten meters and came to a stone hall. In the middle of the hall was a steel coffin.

The outside of the coffin was tied with chains, and special sealing charms were affixed to the four sides and top.

Danzo walked into the stone hall, saw the seal on the coffin, and murmured: "It seems that Lord Tobirama's fear of Uchiha Madara has not relaxed at all even if he dies."

With that said, Danzo tore open the sealing barrier on it, condensed the wind escape chakra in his left hand, turned it into a sharp sword, and cut off the chain with several clicks.

The four root ninjas used their strength at the same time to lift the lid of the coffin, which was made of hundreds of attack steel, and a rotten smell hit their faces.

Danzo frowned slightly, waved his hand in front of his face to remove the smell, and gave the root next to him a look.

Genbu understood the idea, walked into the coffin and took a look inside, confirming that there was no mechanism, and shook his head at Danzo.

Danzo then walked into the coffin and looked inside. There was a rotting corpse inside. The corpse inside had been rotting away for decades.

"Start checking!"

Danzo ordered.

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, Sandai was at home.

After Danzo got the exact information, he immediately came to the third generation's home and informed the third generation of the results.

Looking at the results in his hand, Sandai bit his pipe tightly and frowned: "It's not Madara after all? In other words, the real Madara is not in the coffin at all."

"That's right!"

Danzo said solemnly: "According to our examination of the bones, it is indeed not Madara's bones. Although I don't know how Madara deceived Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sama back then, but now it is somewhat certain that the Valley of the End After the battle, Madara did not die."

Uchiha Madara is still alive!

For the third generation, this news was absolutely a bolt from the blue, even more frightening than the outbreak of the Third Ninja War.

Although he had never met Uchiha Madara, in the year when he first entered the ninja school, Uchiha Madara attacked Konoha and was stopped thanks to the First Hokage.

That battle was earth-shattering, and the battlefield between the First Lord and Uchiha Madara is still there, and is known as the Valley of the End!

As long as Uchiha Madara is alive, the other party will never let go of revenge on Konoha, but can anyone in Konoha stop Uchiha Madara now?

No!

Even though Minato was extremely talented, the Third Generation didn't think he could stop Uchiha Madara!

The only one who can stop Uchiha Madara is the first generation!

If Uchiha Madara is alive, is the First Generation also alive?

But since the first generation master is alive, why should he hide his identity, never show up, and never return to the village.

In the third generation's heart, the fact that the first generation is alive makes him even more panicked than Uchiha Madara. There are some things that he cannot hide.

Seeing that Hiruzen didn't speak for a long time, Danzo asked: "Hiruzhan, what do you think?"

Hiruzen, who woke up, said solemnly: "From this point of view, the possibility that Uchiha Madara is still alive is at least eight levels."

Danzo said seriously: "So, Hiruzen, we must start taking action!"

The third generation did not answer Danzo. He still needs to consider Danzo's action plan. He understands human nature too well, and human nature cannot withstand temptation.

Seeing that Hiruzen remained silent, Danzo changed his approach: "The Uchiha clan is a cancer of existence. Over the years, we have suppressed the Uchiha clan, and coupled with the policies left by Tobirama-sama, the Uchiha clan has generally survived. Stable.

But now that Uchiha Madara is still alive, the ambitions of the Uchiha clan will be infinitely magnified. It is even very likely that Uchiha Fugaku already knows that Uchiha Madara is still alive.

All in all, at this critical moment, the Uchiha clan's problems must be solved, all for the sake of the village!

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside! "

"Hey…"

Hiruzen sighed and said with compassion: "Since it is for Konoha, let's take action. I just hope that the first generation and the second generation will not blame me in the Pure Land."

With the approval of the Third Generation, Danzo could not help but raise the corners of his mouth. He could finally take action against the Uchiha clan!

……

Konoha Ninja Hospital.

Kakashi was lying on the hospital bed, looking at the blank ceiling and smelling the pungent smell of medicine.

"Hey…"

He sighed helplessly, he still had to stay in this hospital for half a month.

He wanted to go out quickly now and continue to investigate the truth behind Lin's death.

Judging from Kirigakure's information, Madara Uchiha was behind the incident involving Lin.

But why would a legendary strongman like Uchiha Madara target Lin who was just a chuunin?

This is what Kakashi has always been unable to figure out. He thought to himself: It would be great if he could go out. Even searching for information would be much better than just lying here and thinking.

However, the opponent he faced was the legendary Uchiha Madara. Even if he could find the truth and confirm that Uchiha Madara was the real culprit behind killing Lin, what could he do on his own?

Kakashi's pupils were slightly dilated, and there was a flash of despair in his eyes.

He is too weak!

woohoo...

The wind blew, blowing the white window screen and fluttering in the wind, and a shadow fell on Kakashi's face.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, turned to look towards the window, and saw clearly that the person coming was Ganqiao, and asked doubtfully: "Why are you here?"

"I came to see you. I heard that when Kai carried you, he was so fast that your neck almost broke. As a result, you had to spend a month in the hospital."

Speaking of this matter, Qian Qiao wanted to laugh. He originally asked Kai to save people, but Kai almost killed Kakashi.

Kakashi rolled his eyes and said depressedly: "That idiot Kai, let me go for three more weeks. I heard that you recruited Kai into ANBU. I think you should fire Kai. That guy Kai is not suitable for ANBU." .”

"It's up to me to decide whether it's suitable or not, by the way..."

With that said, Qian Qiao jumped down from the window: "You also want to join the ANBU. I have agreed with the fourth generation that you will join the ANBU after you recover, and then you will be under my command."

"Sorry, I'm not interested. I have more important things to do."

Kakashi refused without even thinking.

If he hadn't gone to Kirigakure before, Kakashi might have agreed, but now he just wanted to investigate the truth behind Lin's death.

Qianqiao knew the reason for Kakashi's refusal and expected that Kakashi would refuse. However, he had already been persuaded. If he was not certain, Qianqiao would not come.

Qianqiao walked to the chair next to him and sat down, and said straight to the point: "It's about Lin, and the matter of the third Mizukage of Kirigakure being controlled by Uchiha Madara. There is Uchiha Madara's shadow behind Lin's death."

"That's right!" Kakashi nodded: "I want to investigate the truth behind Lin's death."

Qian Qiao asked: "Let's not talk about whether you can investigate it. Even after the investigation, you know that the mastermind behind the scenes is Uchiha Madara, what can you do alone?"

Kakashi was silent. In front of Uchiha Madara, he was just a mayfly, how could he shake the big tree.

Qianqiao added: "Let alone facing Uchiha Madara, it is impossible for you alone to investigate the truth. Where are you going to investigate? Do you know where Uchiha Madara is? Do you know the information about Uchiha Madara? These You don’t even know.”

"However, as long as you join the Anbu, you will have higher authority to investigate these things." Seeing Kakashi's heart-beating expression, Gan Qiao struck while the iron was hot: "In addition, the top management of Uchiha Madara has been informed. What's next? , the ANBU will focus on investigating matters related to Uchiha Madara, and you can only have access to these if you join the ANBU."

At this time, Kakashi was completely convinced.

Instead of running around like flies, it is better to rely on the power of the village.

But suddenly, Kakashi seemed to think of something, his face darkened, and he laughed at himself.

"Even if I find the truth, what can I do?"

The corners of Qianqiao's mouth raised slightly, and he was waiting for Kakashi's words.

"What if I could let you gain the power to fight Uchiha Madara?"

Kakashi was stunned, raised his eyes, stared at Qian Qiao, and asked in an excited tone: "Really? Can you really give me the power to fight against Uchiha Madara?"

"Ok!"

Qianqiao nodded and said in a determined tone: "I can let you gain strength, but there are conditions. There is no free lunch in the world, Kakashi!"

Kakashi looked at Qian Qiao silently.

First of all, Kakashi does not believe that Ganqiao can allow him to obtain Uchiha Madara's power. Secondly, the conditions mentioned by Ganqiao also make Kakashi concerned. What does Ganqiao want to do?

Qianqiao knew that it was impossible to get Kakashi to agree immediately, so he did not force it.

He stood up from the chair, placed a tube of sage potion on the bedside table, and glanced sideways at Kakashi: "Come back to me when you are healed and have used this thing."

After saying that, Qian Qiao waved to Kakashi and left the ward.

Kakashi looked at the purple potion on the bedside table and fell into deep confusion.
