Naruto's Endless Pretense

Konoha August 60.

Konoha's S-class rebel Orochimaru and Suna ninja launched an attack on Konoha during the chunin exam.Under the full resistance of the Ninja Village, the plan to collapse Konoha finally failed.

The Sand Ninja also discovered the long-dead Fourth Kazekage in the desert two days later, thus giving up the war with Konoha and announcing that this incident was entirely controlled by Orochimaru alone.As the weakest of the five shadow villages, the Sand Ninja surrendered to Konoha.In order to restore the damage caused by the war, Konoha also accepted the surrender of Suna Ninja.

The war ended with Konoha becoming the victor, and Orochimaru's idea of ​​destroying Konoha to push the wheel of history was shattered.But the entire ninja world is not peaceful.

Although Konoha won the war, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen lost an arm and lacked high-end combat power.The lower-level ninjas also suffered heavy losses.Although he reunited with the Sand Ninja who share the same problem in time, the other five major countries are still eyeing him, and war may break out at any time.

Therefore, the immediate priority is to rebuild the villages that were severely damaged by Orochimaru's plan and quickly restore national strength.For this reason, Sandai even asked for assistance from the Kingdom of Iron and the Kingdom of Waves.

Among the ruins, a legendary shop survived intact, surprising many people.

"The surrounding streets are in ruins, but this place is still in good condition. It is a miracle."

A large bowl of miso ramen and Naruto roll was brought to Sasuke.Adding bone broth made with red miso, freshly cut pork belly, vegetables and eggs were placed left and right, sprinkled with chives and naruto rolls, and it still tasted the same as before.

"Yes, this store has been here since the war, and it has remained unscathed through so many storms. It's really a miracle."

The third generation also took a bowl of barbecued pork ramen from the hand, opened his chopsticks with one hand and started eating.

"Speaking of which, the taste of this store has never changed. I remember back then, I often brought Minato here. So many years have passed."

Jiraiya took a sip of the noodle soup and sighed sadly.

"So, what on earth do you want? I have to go back to the hospital after lunch, so I've been busy these two days."

Sasuke looked at the Third Generation and Jiraiya dissatisfied.Two days have passed since the Konoha Collapse Plan, and there are still a large number of injured people who need treatment.He took Sakura and Xiang Rin to help in the hospital, and took advantage of his lunch break to go to Ichiraku Ramen to eat a bowl of ramen.As a result, before his butt was warmed up, Sandai and Jiraiya sandwiched him on the left and right.

"It's nothing, I just came to have a bowl of ramen." Sandai said calmly.

"Yes, I haven't eaten here for a long time. It would be nice to reminisce about the past with the old man." Jiraiya agreed.

Sasuke glanced sideways at these two old gangsters, and he probably knew the reason deep down, so he didn't expose them, but changed the topic.Let's see how long the third generation can endure.

"Sandaime old man, I think this store represents Konoha better than Hokage Rock."

"Well, what do you say?"

The third generation narrowed his eyes. Sasuke's mind was much more mature than that of his peers. Apart from joking, he usually would not make random mistakes.

"Because Naruto and I often eat here."

"What the hell kind of excuse is this!" Jiraiya complained disdainfully.

"Believe it or not, I'm sure Ichiraku Ramen will become famous in the ninja world because of me and Naruto."

It goes without saying that Sasuke has systematic help. Naruto is the reincarnation of Asura, and his future achievements will not be much smaller.After he becomes famous, Ichiraku Ramen will naturally follow suit.

"Sasuke, do you think highly of Naruto? He is obviously far behind you in terms of strength and talent."

The third generation stopped holding the chopsticks in his hands and looked at Sasuke with interest.

"First of all, although Naruto is stupid, he is not an idiot. His talent is still very good, but he is a little biased. Furthermore, he has some qualities that I don't have."

"What qualities, hard work?" Jiraiya asked.

"It's not easy to explain. You see, he has grown very quickly since he became a genin. This time he actually defeated Gaara, the Suna ninja, by himself."

"That's not even because I helped him train!"

Jiraiya curled his lips but Sasuke stared back with an idiot look.

"I mean, that guy has great potential, and he can draw strength from his own pain. I think after what happened this time, Naruto will undergo another qualitative change."

"Actually, not only Naruto, I think other genin also learned something from it. Although Konoha suffered a great loss this time, I feel that as long as we can survive this period, the village will be stronger because of them. "

How could Konoha with twelve strong men decline, stop making international jokes.

"Where the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout. This is the will of fire."

After finishing the ramen, Sandai took out his pipe from somewhere and started smoking.

"I am no longer suitable to continue to be Hokage. Konoha needs new shadows to inherit the will of fire. Sasuke, I think you understand what I mean."

"Yes, you are just looking for Granny Tsunade. Just tell her. It's very simple. I just ask Master Slug to use the counter-spiritual technique to summon her."

Sasuke knew their purpose was this, but he didn't expect it to take so long before he said it.

"This won't work. If Tsunade is approached like this, she will definitely refuse."

Regardless of his status, Jiraiya put his arm around Sasuke's shoulders, appearing to be very close to Sasuke.Then he begged Sasuke in a voice as small as a mosquito: "Please kid, if Tsunade is not the Hokage, she will definitely force me to be. You are Tsunade's disciple, she will definitely give you face."

"So, what's in it for me?"

& nb

sp; "Here, this. How about I teach you how to use peeping to escape?"

Sasuke pushed this old pervert away, took out his wallet and planned to pay and leave.

"You can become a special jounin. You can also get a permanent pass to Suna Ninja Village."

Sandai took a puff of cigarette and stated his conditions, then glanced at Jiraiya.Jiraiya smiled awkwardly, it seemed that the whisper just now was not hidden from the third generation.

"You and Shikamaru both successfully advanced to the level of chunin in this chunin exam. Considering that your strength far exceeds that of ordinary chunin, if you can bring Tsunade back, I will make an exception and promote you to special jounin. And let you As a special envoy of Konoha, you can freely come and go of the Suna Ninja from now on. Of course, the Suna Ninja will also designate a special envoy, and we Konoha can recommend candidates."

Sasuke's mouth twitched, he sat down again and ordered another ramen.This old man has a lot of information about himself and has almost figured out his own thoughts.

"And if you become a special Jonin, you can lead a team alone. Then Kakashi can leave Team [-], and Kaoru from Kusanagi Village can also join your team. Otherwise, although it is a pity, we The only option is to send her back to the Land of Grass. I heard that she and Naruto are still of the same race."

Every bit of it hits home, making it impossible to refuse.As expected of an old politician, he has a really good grasp of people's hearts.But why do I feel so unhappy!

"Okay, but I have one more condition. I want those two sound ninjas."

The four sound ninjas fought desperately to help Orochimaru hold down the ANBU, but in the end they were left behind as abandoned children.The ANBU deliberately showed mercy in order to obtain information about Orochimaru. Both Tayuya and Sakon survived and are now being trained in the hands of "professionals".

"Why? They are all enemies, aren't they?" Sandai frowned slightly when he heard this.

"There is no reason, this is my condition."

If Orochimaru is hit by his own technique, he will definitely reincarnate as a corpse to completely eliminate the hidden danger.Orochimaru will be quite weak at this time, which is the best time to remove the curse seal.Sasuke wanted to experiment with the Sound Ninja's Earth Curse Seal first.

"Okay, as long as you can convince Tsunade to come back as Hokage, I will ask Morino Ihiki to hand over the person to you."

The third generation pondered for a while and finally agreed to Sasuke's request.Put the money on the table, put on the hat and left the ramen restaurant.

"Kid, what do you want those two sound ninjas to do?"

Jiraiya looked sideways at Sasuke while drinking the soup, with a hint of chill in his voice.

"Nothing, I just want to kill Orochimaru."

After hearing Sasuke's answer, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief and cursed "arrogant brat".

"It's true that it's not possible now, but it won't necessarily be the case in a few years. Won't you stop me?" Sasuke teased Jiraiya with a smile.

"Why should I stop you? I want to kill that guy too."

"Really, I don't think so. If you really wanted to kill him, you wouldn't wait until the end to use the immortal mode."

Sasuke stared at Jiraiya's raised head and felt a sense of amusement in his heart.Orochimaru and Jiraiya are good friends. They obviously regard each other as very important, but they refuse to admit it and shout to fight and kill each other when they meet.

"Indeed, I still want him to return to Konoha, but this is no longer possible."

Jiraiya kept stirring the clear soup in his noodles with chopsticks, with a look of loneliness on his face.

"However, if he comes to harm the village again, I will kill him myself."

"Actually, I think Orochimaru may be like this too. He still retains the bond with you in his heart."

Sasuke took the newly made ramen, pushed it in front of Jiraiya, stood up and put on his windbreaker.

"I have always wondered why Orochimaru attacked Konoha and was so obsessed with killing the third generation during the battle. A scientific researcher like him would not act out of resentment. He had no motive. As for the so-called disturbing the ninja world, It has nothing to do with his research skills or his purpose of obtaining the Sharingan. Why on earth would he do this?"

"It wasn't until I saw the third generation old man letting Orochimaru go that day that I figured it out a little bit. At that time, the third generation old man looked too ugly. He was so depressed and soulless. There was no way he could look like a ninja hero."

"Someone told me that the best destination for a ninja is to die on the battlefield at the end of the war. Maybe Orochimaru wants the third generation to die with honor."

"When he can still be called a Shinobu hero."

"Can you still be called a shinobi hero like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Danzo banged his cane and roared loudly at the Sandaime.

"You would actually make such a compromise to other ninja villages because of this little difficulty. Sarutobi, you are really old!"

On the surface, all countries took no action after the attack on Konoha, but secretly, the meaning of war was already obvious.In order to stabilize the situation, the Third Generation and the Four Great Ninja Villages reached some unwritten agreements and gave up some of the interests that they could not hold on to.

This dovish approach was unacceptable to the radical Danzo.

"Yes, I am indeed old, so the village needs a new Hokage. And the new generation of Shinobi has begun to grow."

As Sandai said, the figures of two teenagers appeared in his mind.

Danzo snorted coldly when he heard this, and said in a bad tone: "Are you referring to Uchiha Sasuke? I haven't asked you yet! Why did you allow those two sound ninjas to be handed over to him? Don't forget that he was also hit by Orochimaru The curse seal, and he is also from the Uchiha clan."

"Duanzo, I don't need to report to you what I do. Now, I am still the third generation Hokage, the current Hokage of Konoha Village!"

The third generation's face darkened and he slapped the table to suppress Danzo's objection.

"Moreover, at the border of Konoha, ANBU found traces of that man."
