Naruto's Shulker Snake

The end of the Third Ninja World War has not been short. Even ordinary people have gradually healed their pain with time. Everything is running in an orderly manner. He, the Hokage, naturally becomes more relaxed.

Although the previous attack on Otsutsuki was still at a loss, at least there were no other changes.

As for the moon, judging from the news shared by Yun Ninja Village, it has stabilized for the time being, and there is no need for him, the Hokage, to worry about it!

Generally speaking, although there are still many hidden dangers in all this, we don't know when they will break out and some difficult situations will arise.

But on the surface, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the third generation Hokage, has led Konoha to win World War II and World War III, allowing Konoha Ninja Village to still stand firmly at the top of the ninja world.

His head is enough to be carved on the Hokage Rock as a tall and majestic image, for generations to come to the descendants of Konoha to watch and admire. Even if he abdicates or even dies at this moment, he is worthy of his family, teacher, and all generations of Hokage!

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, and a peaceful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, just like an ordinary, happy-go-lucky old man.

However, if we say that Sarutobi Hiruzen has reached the peak of his life at this moment.

So at this time, there will still be one thing that makes him extremely troubled and in a dilemma...

With a "bang", the door of the office suddenly opened. Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi's peaceful demeanor suddenly became sharp, sharp and indifferent, but soon relaxed, full of helplessness.

"Oh, here we come again..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart.

In front of him, under the persuasion of a sweaty Konoha ninja who was in charge of the security, Jiraiya barged in carelessly, followed by Namikaze Minato who looked very unnatural.

"Hai, what are you doing, old man?"

Jiraiya walked forward with a satisfied look on his face, actually holding something in his hand, "Look, this is the best tobacco leaves. Your disciple and I are the best goods collected from all over the country!"

"Hokage-sama!" Namikaze Minato greeted somewhat awkwardly.

"Okay, let it go."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved to the ninja outside, who wisely closed the door.

"Hey, old man, what do you think this is?"

The moment the door closed, Jiraiya suddenly approached Hiruzen Sarutobi, took out a small red book from his arms, and his expression became even more obscene!

"Well, this is...!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's loose eyes suddenly widened, and then he calmly accepted Jiraiya's gift, and his expression became serious.

Behind him, Namikaze Minato looked confused, completely unaware that his master and master had already completed some kind of deal in an instant...

"Cough cough!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed seriously twice and looked serious, "Jiraiya, you seem to be a little idle recently. Don't tell me that you went to collect materials again. You don't do serious things every day."

"Ha, isn't this some kind of practice for me..."

Zilai also laughed.

So, after a lot of "confidence" between the two sides, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As the Hokage, I am not that idle."

Sarutobi Hiruzen habitually crossed his hands on his desk. He already knew Jiraiya's intention, especially when Namikaze Minato, who came with him and had a embarrassed look on his face, confirmed his suspicion.

It must be about succeeding as Hokage!

Sarutobi Hiruzen is getting old after all, and the matter of abdicating the throne in favor of a worthy leader was supposed to happen after the end of the Third Ninja War, so it was considered a matter of course.

It was only because the incident between Otsutsuki and Yue had caused panic and the entire ninja world was in turmoil, plus a series of problems after the war, that it had been delayed until now.

And to be honest, although Sarutobi Hiruzen had already made his choice in his heart, he still had many concerns.

Even if a series of other candidates are eliminated, Namikaze Minato and Senju Nezuki are both outstanding juniors who can succeed Hokage.

Perhaps Namikaze Minato has a high voice among the common people, and seems to have the upper hand over Naoki in terms of achievements, but in fact, Naoki's advantages are not bad at all.

As a descendant of Senju Hashirama, representing the entire Senju clan including Tsunade, and also representing the upper-level interests of the Konoha ninja clan, the starting point of the rope tree is too high.

Furthermore, in terms of personal quality and strength, Naoki is not inferior to Namikaze Minato.

In the final analysis, Naoki is Orochimaru's disciple, and Minato is his disciple.

Orochimaru is a being that even Sarutobi Hiruzen is extremely wary of...

Difficult, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that it was too difficult for him!

"I'm retiring anyway, and these two are both virtuous and qualified enough to inherit the mantle of Hokage.

If it doesn't work, I will imitate the first generation of adults and directly hold elections. No matter what, there will be no problem! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought in his heart that this could be said to be his last and wisest decision.

"It's such a teacher. Now that the situation is a little more stable, I recently decided to take Minato to Mt. Myoboku again to practice senjutsu."

Jiraiya seemed to think about it for a moment and then said, "Minato's talent is very good and he can control the power of nature easier than me. I believe he will soon completely surpass me and become the most dazzling talent in Konoha."

"This is great. Young people must be motivated. I absolutely support it!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded happily, but he was sneering in his heart.

Well done you Jiraiya, you actually learned how to make progress by retreating!

Recently, the call for the election of the Fourth Hokage has gradually become louder. As a civilian ninja, Minato is said to be supported by countless people.

It is indeed a wise choice for him to avoid the focus at this critical moment and instead concentrate on improving his strength to deal with the crisis that may still break out in the ninja world.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Jiraiya's idea was correct.

This usually muddle-headed disciple did not expect to be so shrewd at this time. It seems that he is indeed very optimistic about Minato!

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought.

But no matter how indifferent he was, Minato still couldn't help but appear in front of him, making his presence felt.

But what is the other candidate Senju Nezuki doing? And what is Orochimaru doing right now?

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly, and the Senju Nōju seemed to have been practicing and sparring with Tsunade, completely undisturbed by the outside world.

People like Namikaze Minato cannot be indifferent to the position of Hokage. Can the Senju Nōju and the Senju clan really be so indifferent?

As for Orochimaru, he was not conducting experiments all the time, and even Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely unable to determine the latter's whereabouts!

Did Orochimaru give up recommending his disciples to become Hokage? Absolutely not, otherwise there would be no need to waste so much effort before.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was extremely certain of this.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi could see through Jiraiya's tricks after just a moment's thought, then he really couldn't see through Orochimaru's disciple's thoughts...

"That's it, but keep in touch at all times. Something big may happen in Konoha recently, so don't be unable to get in touch at a critical moment."

Unable to figure out Orochimaru's plan, Sarutobi Hiruzen was quite disinterested and casually approved an exit slip. Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand.

If it doesn't work, then let's hold an election. I believe Orochimaru will have nothing to say!

"Don't worry, teacher, we will definitely shine at the critical moment, just wait and see!"

Naturally, you can't say this kind of thing too openly.

Jiraiya didn't notice Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression at all, he happily took the exit ticket and was about to leave with Minato.

And at this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had his eyes lowered, suddenly widened his eyes, his look of horror flashed away, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the seat!

"Oops!"

Jiraiya and Minato also reacted almost at the same moment.

The next moment, earth-shattering explosions resounded at the gate of Konoha, and a dark smoke column rose slowly that seemed to represent disaster and ominousness. The golden flames completely turned the surrounding buildings into ashes!

"Boom...!!"

The indestructible Konoha gate was torn into pieces, and several Konoha ninjas fell like pieces of paper on the streets in the distance, their lives and deaths unknown.

The shrill siren rang throughout Konoha, people fled in panic, and teams of Konoha ninjas rushed towards the Konoha gate.

The eyesight of a Kage-level powerhouse is so amazing. At this time, Sarutobi and Hiruzen and the others have appeared on the roof of the Hokage Building. In the thick smoke, a figure with white clothes and white eyes, and his body burning with golden chakra, walked out of the ruins step by step. , the huge momentum is like an abyss or a prison.

The sporadic attacks of the Konoha ninjas were unable to break through the glorious golden defense. If the opponent waved his palm at will, a golden palm print would shoot out. Wherever he went, the Konoha ninjas were like chickens and dogs. It was vulnerable to a single blow, and the tall buildings were shattered into pieces.

This person is surprisingly Ye Long who has transformed into Genmei Otsutsuki!

"This guy, this outfit, and that ninjutsu...!"

Jiraiya's eyes were splitting as he stared at the figure who looked very similar to the Hyuga ninja but whose strength was completely different, and his heart was filled with anger.

"If nothing else, it should be the so-called Otsutsuki ninja and Yang Eunjutsu!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked extremely gloomy. Although the ANBU found no trace of the Otsutsuki ninjas, through in-depth investigation, the identity of the other party also came to a conclusion.

The Otsutsuki clan was once from the same lineage as the Hyuga clan. They possessed the Byakugan blood inheritance limit, but they mastered the Yin and Yang ninjutsu that has been lost in the ninja world.

"The last time I attacked the Hyuga clan, I dared to come back this time. What a deception!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were about to burst, but at this moment, another group of figures wearing red-bottomed fire cloud robes appeared behind the "Otsutsuki" ninja.

They scattered away from the former and rushed into the streets of Konoha, also wreaking havoc.

"Water Escape, Great Waterfall Technique!"

"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Water Release·Exploding Water Wave!"

Powerful large-scale water escape ninjutsus were released from the hands of Kisame Kisaki, and several streets in Konoha were flooded.

Then a thick fog spread among the buildings, and these people suddenly released the Kirigakure Technique.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others saw with their own eyes that in the thick fog, Konoha ninjas and elite ANBU wearing green vests penetrated deep into the thick fog. There was only a brief burst of movement and no more news.

Then violent fire exploded in the thick fog. It was obvious that these people carried a large number of detonating symbols and were carrying out destruction everywhere!

"There are actually others, and they are very strong, at least at the level of elite jounin!"

Jiraiya's expression was extremely serious, "Old man, the ninjutsu used by these guys seems to be Kirigakure?!

Didn’t Shuiying Village declare a truce with us a long time ago? Even their village is said to have had some changes. Could it be that——”

"No, look at the costumes of these people. Except for the guy at the beginning who calls himself a ninja of the Otsutsuki clan, everyone else has uniform costumes."

Namikaze Minato said carefully, but he couldn't identify the identities of those ninjas even after racking his brains at this moment.

"I'm going to deal with that guy from the Otsutsuki clan. That guy is very strong. Ordinary people alone can't deal with him."

Jiraiya stared seriously at Ye Long, who was crushing the Konoha ninjas as if he was in no one's land. At this time, although many Konoha ninjas had spontaneously gathered to block him, the difference in strength was too big. , and lacked effective organization, he was easily defeated by Ye Long with just one move, just like a tactic to add fuel to the fire.

"Minato, go and deal with those people who are suspected of being Mist Ninjas. Your Flying Thunder God should be the best suited to deal with them?"

Jiraiya looked at Minato and then at Sarutobi Hiruzen who had a serious look on his face.

There are many ninjas in Konoha, and there are also many jounin, but at this time, many people are doing tasks outside the village. The ninjas in the village are not gathered together, and they are unable to use their full strength for various reasons, so it is easy to be defeated one by one by the strong.

In the original time and space, Nagato brought Konoha into a mess just by relying on Six Paths Payne, and Uchiha Madara was "one against ten thousand". It can be seen that ordinary ninjas are very fragile in front of the real strong ones.

Fortunately, there are many shadow-level experts in Konoha at this time!

However, something worse happened. There were two more huge explosions. In addition to the enemies appearing in the direction of the main entrance, the walls on both sides of Konoha also exploded violently at this moment.

The thick and solid city wall cracked, and many ninjas standing on the wall could be seen with the naked eye being blown away by the huge shock wave, and then engulfed by the soaring fire.

They all have chakra fluctuations that have reached the level of Kage? !

Feeling the movement in the distance, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was terrifyingly gloomy!

What on earth is Danzo doing? Why haven't those bastards from Konoha's families and elders come forward? Where is Orochimaru now? !

Any ninja village would be in a panic when faced with a raid by a Kage-level powerhouse. In the original time and space, Deidara abducted Gaara from the Sand Ninja Village alone, and the crisis facing Konoha Village at this moment was obviously different.

"It seems that I, the Hokage, will finally take action myself!"

With a "crash", Hiruzen Sarutobi removed his god robe with one hand, revealing a lean black ninja uniform.
