Konoha, was reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

Chapter 194 Two years later, Konoha started to cause trouble

In the following days, Yahiko and the others, who wanted to become stronger, proposed to practice together with Li Yao and Xiaoyezi.

Li Yao didn't expect that such a good thing could happen, so he immediately agreed.

Practicing together means sparring regularly.

This cannot avoid frequent physical contact.

So Li Yao became a master of physical skills, using no ninjutsu but only physical attacks. The name was to train the reaction speed of Yahiko and the others in close combat between life and death.

In fact, it was to have frequent contact with Nagato's body and more quickly sense the changes in the nature of the Samsara Eye Power chakra in his eyes.

blink of an eye.

Two years have passed.

Konoha.

evening.

Hatake Saun was walking on the way home, and the setting sun shone brightly on his neatly combed white hair. (PS: Kakashi’s father here uses the name Saun Hatake.)

"Lord Zuo Yun, long time no see."

"Didn't I just meet you the day before yesterday, Brother Jingzhong?"

"Really...Haha, I forgot about it."

"Lord Zuo Yun, do you want to have a drink?"

"Next time, Uncle Yunye."

On the way home, the passers-by I met greeted Sagumo Hatake enthusiastically, and Sagumo Hatake responded one by one, always with a faint smile on his face. He looked cold but actually gave people a feeling that he was easy to get along with.

In addition, Sagumo Hatake remembers the name of everyone who greeted him, when was the last time he saw the other person, and what the other person was doing at the time, he knew everything.

This makes people feel valued.

After all, only the people or things you care about can be remembered clearly.

Small details like this in life can easily gain the favor of others.

Although the reason why Hatake Sakumo can remember the names of everyone he knows in the village and some small details that happened when they last met is due to his strong personal memory and observant ninja talent, it actually has nothing to do with whether he values ​​others.

But he still relied on this talent to gain the favor of most people in Konoha, especially the ordinary villagers, who almost all liked Sagumo Hatake.

This kind of love turned into a wave after Hatake Sakumo became famous as "Konoha White Fang" during the Second Ninja War.

"The next generation of Hokage must be Lord Sagumo."

"I support Lord Sagumo to become the next generation of Hokage."

"If Lord Sagumo becomes Hokage, he will definitely be the most kind Hokage."

In the past, although Hatake Sakumo was a genius comparable to or even greater than the Sannin, his reputation was not outstanding after all.

In the late stage of the last ninja world war, one person held up a front and defeated Sunagakure. Sagumo Hatake, who had won the name of Konoha White Fang, was more famous than the three ninjas.

Now Hatake Sagumo finally turned the audience he had accumulated in Konoha into substantial benefits.

At the age when the Third Hokage was still strong and strong, the villagers actually discussed who would be the next Hokage.

What do you mean?

I'm not dead yet?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was angry when he heard this.

He originally thought that only the Uchiha clan in Konoha would threaten his position as Hokage, but he did not expect that Sagumo Hatake would suddenly appear, which caught him off guard.

So he quickly promoted Hatake Sagumo. Just as his son could no longer serve as ANBU minister, he promoted Hatake Sakumo to ANBU minister.

I thought that after being transferred to ANBU and spending all my time with darkness, Hatake Sakumo's favorability in the hearts of Konoha villagers would decrease, and the discussion about the next generation of Hokage would be completely extinguished.

As a result, the villagers misunderstood.

I thought that the third generation promoted Hatake Sakumo to ANBU Minister to train him as the next Hokage, which is equivalent to correcting Hatake Sakumo.

After all, everyone knows that ANBU is the ninja force directly under the Hokage, the most trusted ninja force by the Hokage, and the ninja force responsible for the safety of the Hokage.

<divclass="contentadv">Such a trusted force was handed over to Sagumo Hatake. Isn't this the third generation's right to transition to ANBU, and to prepare for the smooth transition to the next generation of Hokage?

The third generation immediately vomited blood. He never expected that his plan to boil the frog in warm water would actually shoot himself in the foot. Not only did it not dissuade the villagers from recognizing Sagumo Hatake as the next Hokage, but it went a step further and made the villagers They misunderstood that he was ready to give up his position.

The key is not only Hatake Sagumo himself who believed it, but also began to demand himself as the next generation Hokage.

The major ninja clans in Konoha actually believed it, which was the most deadly thing.

Ordinary people are easy to deal with, but the major ninja clans that make up the big family of Konoha are the trouble.

Especially the Uchiha clan, when they saw that someone could unseat Hiruzen Sarutobi as the Third Hokage, they were immediately overjoyed and gave their full support to Sagumo Hatake.

The Uchiha clan's idea is simple.

As long as they can pull down Sarutobi Hiruzen and without the direct attack of the Hokage, the Uchiha clan will definitely be able to return to their former glory and quickly ascend to the position of Hokage.

Thus, the Uchiha clan expressed its stance.

The top leaders of Konoha's major families faced Hatake Sakumo with the same attitude as facing the next generation of Hokage.

The situation is getting worse and worse, which makes the three generations miserable.

He can't say that he doesn't want to abdicate!

And even if he were to abdicate, it wouldn't be Hatake Sakumo's turn.

One of his three disciples should be chosen to succeed the next generation of Hokage.

The three generations, who had unspeakable pain in their hearts, finally walked into the root base.

We can't delay it any longer. If we delay it any longer, Konoha's public opinion will not discuss Hatake Sagumo as the next generation Hokage, but ask him to give up his position quickly.

In a secret room at the root base.

The third generation met his good friend Danzo.

"Why are you here?" Danzo turned around and glanced at Sandai and asked in confusion.

"You don't know what happened in Konoha recently?" Sandai's face turned dark, dissatisfied that Danzo had lost his former political vigilance.

"What happened?" Danzo was a little confused. After the war, he plunged into the study of wood escape cells.

The son of Li Yao and Sarutobi Ayase was named Konoha Hatsumi. The cells in his body are naturally very adaptable to Hashirama cells. In the first experiment, Hashirama cell solution was successfully transplanted, and he achieved an outcome comparable to that of Li Yao. The wooden escape at the beginning.

This made both Danzo and the third generation ecstatic, and they began to study the factors in Konoha's primary cells that adapted to Hashirama cells.

In their opinion, as long as they find factors that adapt to Hashirama's cells and inject them into their bodies, they can also transplant Hashirama's cells and possess Wood Release.

It's just that it's been more than two years and almost three years since the war, and the research has not yet achieved final success.

The cytokines adapted to Hashirama have been extracted, but they have been weakened a lot, and they can only adapt to Hashirama cells that have been weakened many times.

Transplanting that kind of cells can at most enhance the individual's physique and increase the amount of chakra, but it cannot master Wood Release.

Currently, Danzo's experiments are still in the stage of purifying and strengthening Hashirama's cell adaptation factors.

At this time, in the middle of the secret room, in a huge glass container, Konoha's newborn wrapped in blue liquid was curled up like a fetus. Transparent rubber tubes were connected to needles and inserted into various parts of Konoha's body, absorbing something. .

Danzo was in this secret room every day, doing various experiments using Hashirama cell adaptation factors extracted from Konoha's newborn body.

Although the ultimate goal has not yet been achieved.

But Danzo, who had seen the hope of successfully transplanting Hashirama's cell solution, focused all his energy on the laboratory and paid little attention to the outside world. He did not know that the situation had now reached a serious level where the third generation might be dismissed early.

After the third generation told Danzo about the situation, Danzo also realized the serious situation at this time.

At present, he is still bound to the third generation.

If the third generation stepped down and a new Hokage took over, he would not be allowed to continue to study wood escape and use a child of several years old as a test subject.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Danzo looked at his good friend.
