Naruto Death Hero
Chapter 77 Three Years of War
In April of the 22nd year of Konoha, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled Shimura Danzo, who was the battlefield commander of the Rain Country, back to the village. Shimura Danzo obviously sensed something was wrong, but he did not choose to resist. Obediently, he followed the ANBU back to Konoha.
The day after Shimura Danzo returned to Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen held a high-level meeting and announced the news that Shimura Danzo had resigned from all positions due to physical reasons.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the village's senior officials, but Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately announced another even more shocking news, which was the decision to recommend Ichigo Kurosaki to become the new Roots Minister.
Although they are just recommending a candidate, everyone at the top level here knows very well that after losing the control of Shimura Danzo, no force can withstand the combined efforts of the Hokage and the Uchiha clan.
So when Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed that Kurosaki Ichigo be the candidate for the new root minister, it was only a matter of time before he took office.
And not only that, Sarutobi Hiruzen also proposed that Uchiha Sekikawa temporarily take charge of the troops on the Rain Country battlefield that had lost the management of Shimura Danzo.
Before, Sarutobi Hiruzen recommended Kurosaki Ichigo, perhaps it could be said that it was because of the good relationship between his two disciples Tsunade and Orochimaru and Kurosaki Ichigo, but this time the arrangement for Uchiha Sekikawa made everyone Everyone understands - the long-fighting Hokage faction and the Uchiha faction have shaken hands and made peace!
Although Shimura Danzo's sudden fall caused some commotion and impact in Konoha and the Land of Fire, the subsequent full cooperation between the Hokage faction and the Uchiha faction limited this commotion to the minimum scope and did not affect The situation of the frontline war.
Of course, even so, some people who couldn't see the situation clearly came to Shimura Danzo's house and told him that they were ready to obey orders at any time to deal with the Hokage and Uchiha clan who had tricked Shimura Danzo.
But as a result, these people were angrily kicked out of their homes by Shimura Danzo, because Shimura Danzo knew very well that he had indeed failed this time. If the evidence that he was caught by Kurosaki Ichigo came out, he would It’s not just the result of being deprived of power and under house arrest.
The reason why Shimura Danzo was able to retire due to illness and retire was because Sarutobi Hiruzen never forgot his old feelings, so he accepted Sarutobi Hiruzen's treatment so wisely.
Moreover, Shimura Danzo also understood that since he was only under house arrest, it meant that he had no chance of making a comeback. As long as you endure it, one day this matter will pass with the passage of time. All he needs to do is to be patient until that day comes.
It was precisely for this reason that Danzo Shimura angrily drove out all his subordinates who came to express their loyalty. Not only that, he also specifically asked those people to cooperate well with the orders of the Hokage and the Uchiha clan, as if he had a very good attitude towards admitting his mistakes.
Shimura Danzo put away his minions, and Kurosaki Ichigo quickly took office and became the new root minister, but many of his subordinates were transferred from the ANBU.
Obviously, as Kurosaki Ichigo had guessed before, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not allow Kurosaki Ichigo to run the roots into his own private army like Shimura Danzo did.
Kurosaki Ichigo had no complaints about this and immediately started to transform the roots.
The first was the original members. Kurosaki Ichigo reviewed them one by one. The result was that except for a single-digit number of original members, almost all the others were thrown to the interrogation team by him after the review. As for the status of these people, What kind of torture he will go through in the interrogation team is within the scope of Kurosaki Ichigo's consideration.
After selecting the original members of the Roots, Kurosaki Ichigo began to organize the Roots information library. He basically left this work to the ANBU people to complete, which was also a way to show his goodwill to the Hokage.
Perhaps in order to repay Kurosaki Ichigo's kindness, Sarutobi Hiruzen brought a gift to Kurosaki Ichigo from the interrogation team when the intelligence compilation work was coming to an end - three root teams that had completed preliminary training.
These three teams are original members of the interrogation force who have been trained through brainwashing and other methods. They include the pharmacist Nonou and others who Ichigo Kurosaki knows. They are no longer loyal to Shimura Danzo, so Sarutobi Zhan sent them to Kurosaki Ichigo to help him complete the transformation of the roots.
At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also tacitly allowed him to form a private army by doing this. Obviously, the cooperation during this period of time has made his relationship with the Uchiha clan much closer.
However, Kurosaki Ichigo's actions were extremely restrained. Not only did he only form ten root teams under his command, but the information he obtained was also reviewed by Hiruzen Sarutobi first. There were some who he had no intention of doing intelligence work. There are also reasons to avoid suspicion.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also saw Kurosaki Ichigo's intentions, so he gradually relaxed his surveillance on him. At the same time, he also promoted Uchiha Sekikawa on the frontline battlefield.
In March of the 24th year of Konoha, the melee between the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Wind in the Land of Rain came to an end. The three parties together evacuated this land that had been ravaged by war for many years after losing the protection of Hanzo the Sanshouyu. .
Although the strength of the Kingdom of Earth is inferior to that of the Kingdom of Fire, after all, its strength is at the upper reaches of the five major countries, so the Fire and Earth are still evenly matched for the time being. The war between the two countries is in small countries such as the Kingdom of Grass and the Kingdom of Taki. Burn up.
The Kingdom of Wind was in a bit of trouble. Its national strength and population were at an absolute disadvantage compared to the Kingdom of Fire, so it could not maintain its occupation of the Kingdom of Sichuan and was invaded by the troops of the Kingdom of Fire.
However, the Sand Ninjas are proficient in puppetry and poison techniques, and they are not inferior to the Konoha Ninjas in their own home field, making the Fire Nation's troops pay a heavy price for every step forward.
The war thus fell into a stalemate, and Uchiha Sekikawa was gradually promoted to the official commander of the battlefield forces of the Kingdom of Wind. He commanded several successful battles in a year and a half, and dealt a major blow to the Kingdom of Wind.
October of the twenty-fifth year of Konoha.
The Kingdom of Wind has shown signs of decline, but the Kingdom of Fire has gradually shown signs of fatigue, and the war between the two sides that has lasted for several years has ceased for a while.
Taking advantage of this truce, Uchiha Sekikawa, who was supposed to have full authority to handle the war in the Kingdom of Wind, has also quietly returned to Konoha.
At this time, Uchiha Sekikawa was not in the spacious and bright Hokage Building, but instead shuttled through a huge and deep base underground in Konoha.
After walking through several corridors, Uchiha Sekikawa came to a large wooden door. He looked up at the nameplate on the door and then raised his hand to push the door open.
"Long time no see, Hokage-sama, and Chief Ichigo!"
Uchiha Sekikawa was the first to speak after seeing the figure behind the door. See more! Prestige official account: hhxs665
