Hokage: I use spiritual power to release ninjutsu!

"It's really nostalgic!"

Konoha, Naruto Office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood by the window.

Looking at the Hokage Rock opposite, he sighed with a complicated expression.

Although he had anticipated it beforehand;

The war with Sunagakure Village will inevitably lead to the fate of other ninja villages;

Thus the Ninja World War started again.

After all, the ninja world has been at peace for nearly 20 years.

Each village has been recovering for a long time, and sooner or later there will be a war to reorganize interests.

But the situation that Konoha was facing now, including the siege by the four villages, caught him off guard.

At the same time, four fronts were opened to fight against the four great ninja villages with the power of one village.

Even Konoha, whose strength ranks first in the ninja world, is somewhat difficult to support alone.

Now let’s not talk about all the ninjas being compiled;

Even young children who had been injured and retired or even those who had just entered school were sent to the battlefield.

The supplies that Konoha has accumulated in the past 20 years during the peace era are being rapidly consumed;

Even some supplies have been exhausted, and there are not many other supplies left.

If we continue to fight the four ninja villages, it may be difficult to maintain the battlefield on all sides.

The originally bustling and bustling village has become extremely depressed.

Even the villagers walking on the road looked worried.

The haze spread in the hearts of every Konoha villager, heavy and lingering.

No matter how stupid the villagers are:

He also knew that Konoha would never be able to hold on for long if it fought against the four major ninja villages at the same time.

When:

If Konoha is attacked by a hostile ninja village, catastrophe may be waiting for them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly sat on the Hokage's seat, with a gloomy look on his face.

Even though Konoha's current situation is precarious, it can still hold on in every battlefield;

As long as one party breaks the situation, the situation will definitely be reversed.

According to intelligence, the situation in Sunagakure Village is even worse than that of Konoha.

People's livelihood was in decline, and it was already difficult to continue fighting against Konoha.

As long as Sunagakure Village can be driven back, Konoha can breathe a sigh of relief;

At the same time, the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind can also be used to reinforce other battlefields.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the map on the table and thought intently.

Sand Hidden Village will definitely make a desperate move in the near future and launch a final attack with all its strength.

And this location is probably Platycodon Mountain!

Platycodon Mountain serves as the gateway and bridgehead into the Land of Fire;

In the past three years, Sunagakure Village has launched dozens of attacks.

But in the end they were defended by the ninja troops led by Orochimaru.

It has become increasingly difficult for Sunagakure Village to hold on;

It will inevitably shrink the forces on other fronts and focus on attacking Mount Kikyo.

If it succeeds, then there will be no more obstacles to invade the Land of Fire;

If you lose, you will withdraw from the Third Ninja War!

This is the choice Sunagakure Village has to make!

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes flickering.

In this Ninja World War, he, the strongest Hokage, had never even been on the battlefield once.

As a result, the ninjas fighting on the front lines were already quite critical of themselves.

Although due to the hokage authority he has accumulated over the years, he dare not criticize himself openly;

But this dissatisfaction;

It will become more severe as the war continues and casualties increase.

Although with the strength of the Anbu that he held tightly in his hands;

And the support of the huge Sarutobi family behind him;

He can suppress this dissatisfaction forcefully and continue to hold the position of Hokage.

But this will inevitably destroy its image in the hearts of the people.

Those stupid Konoha villagers won't remember how nice he usually is to them;

They will only blame themselves, the Hokage, for the losses this battle caused them.

"Sometimes, taking a step back may put you in a better position."

The current position of Hokage is a bit hot on his Sarutobi Hiruzen's ass;

Someone has to be responsible for this war.

All he has to do is give in:

He admitted that he did not do a good enough job in this war, which resulted in excessive losses in the village.

Presumably the frontline ninjas and villagers who had complained about him would no longer complain about him.

On the contrary, I will feel that I understand the righteousness and have the responsibility as Hokage.

By then;

He gave another heartbreaking performance and once again won over a wave of hearts.

His image of Hiruzen Sarutobi among the villagers;

Not only will it not be damaged by losing the war, but it will be able to reach a higher level.

And the candidate to succeed him as Hokage has been vaguely decided.

The best candidate is naturally Namikaze Minato!

For this young genius who has always admired himself and aimed at becoming the Hokage;

Sarutobi Hiruzen was absolutely sure he could hold it in his hands.

The ANBU, which symbolizes one of the powers of Hokage, were trained by him personally and would only obey his orders.

In the name of assistance, he continued to intervene in the affairs of the village.

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen retires from the position of Hokage, how will he be different from the real Hokage?

As for his three direct disciples, he has never considered training these three people to become the next generation of Hokage.

The three ninjas have been famous for many years, and have their own power and prestige;

He will definitely not be willing to be the puppet of his Sarutobi Hiruzen, and will definitely find a way to regain the Hokage's power;

How could someone like Namikaze Minato, who had no foundation and obeyed his orders 100%, be easy to control?

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table lightly and frowned slightly.

Namikaze Minato was too young and didn't have much prestige yet, so he had to pave the way for him.

All he had to do was establish certain meritorious deeds and barely shut the mouths of those who coveted the position of Hokage.

The only people who have ideas about the position of Hokage and have the strength to inherit the position of Hokage are his three disciples and that old friend.

Tsunade suffers from hemophobia, and it is impossible for a person with a fatal flaw to succeed as Hokage;

Jiraiya has a dissolute nature and has no interest in the position of Hokage;

Regardless of his prestige and strength, Orochimaru is the best candidate to succeed Hokage;

Danzo Shimura is just a rat in the gutter and will not be recognized by others.

As for other family heads, such as Uchiha or Hinata;

There was no need for him, Sarutobi Hiruzen, to object, but those small families and civilian ninjas were the first to disagree.

"Orochimaru...."

A chill flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

Orochimaru was indeed his favorite and satisfied disciple;

But the premise is that it does not threaten your own power and plans.

If Orochimaru really intends to compete for the position of the next Hokage, he will destroy his disciples with his own hands at all costs.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew all about Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo's private human experiments;

Just get this information out;

Orochimaru will instantly change from a Sannin that everyone respects to a street rat that everyone shouts about!

Then he took out a stack of documents from the darkness;

It is a copy of the records of Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru's Hashirama cell experiment.

"Is it still not possible?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and muttered to himself.

It is impossible to say that he has no idea about Hashirama Cells.

He also wanted to get the powerful vitality and power contained in Hashirama's cells.

He is already over 40 years old;

You can clearly feel that your own strength and status are irreversibly declining over time.

No one can resist the temptation of immortality;

The more powerful the person, the more so.

If it is possible to fuse intercolumn cells;

Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that not only can he live longer, but he can also regain his strength and youth!

Because Senju Hashirama, even in death, still maintained his youthful appearance.

"Ugh..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the experimental records in his hands and sighed.

Over the years, he has given Danzo great support, both covertly and covertly;

I hope to make a breakthrough in the research on Hashirama cells.

But after so many years, there is still no progress, which inevitably makes me feel disappointed.

"Animals can live forever, why can't humans?"
