As a Hokage, you don't dare to be a loyal minister of Konoha!

Ninja world.

Fire Nation.

As the succession ceremony of the fifth Hokage of Konoha draws closer, the atmosphere in Konoha becomes lively, and the eyes of the ninja world are also focused on it.

But unlike the stormy tranquility before, Brother Fugaku acted as high-profile as ever. He held fireworks celebrations basically every night, determined to let everyone remember the great day when he officially came to power.

As Rasa from Sand Ninja Village, Onoki from Iwagakure Village, and Ai from Kumogakure Village arrived in Konoha one after another, the atmosphere of the entire celebration was pushed to a climax.

In order to show his magnanimity, Brother Fugaku rarely received the Kage from each village in person and welcomed their arrival.

Just like what he said, when people come, no matter what the reason is, Brother Fugaku will treat them as if they are here to participate in the celebration to give him face. As the organizer, he has to do his best to show off his appearance.

Onoki and the others did not find fault. After arriving in Konoha, they calmly waited for the celebration to begin. They did not even meet in private like they did when they came to sign the treaty.

Without him,

What should be discussed and what should not be discussed had already been discussed when they gathered at the Daming Mansion of the Country of Fire.

Apart from the fact that the newly appointed Mizukage didn't know about the plan against Yang Shen Kingdom, they already knew how to control the situation. They even felt that it didn't matter whether Mizukage participated this time. If Kirigakure Village didn't join, they might not There are even more benefits.

Now, even Ye Yue Ai, who had been beaten many times, showed an aura of having everything under control when he came to Konoha, completely losing the decadent feeling before.

This time, they stood up again!

But they are also curious, after losing the personal protection of Hyuga Richeng, what trump card can the Hyuga clan use to fight against the common power of the five major nations?

Yes.

After the Kirigakure and Konoha misfired and ignored the daimyo of their own country, the daimyo of the country of water and the daimyo of the country of fire secretly hired rebellious ninjas similar to the Akatsuki organization to join forces with other ninja villages to express their stance. Together, we plan to take revenge and complain.

Among them, the one who paid the most was the newly appointed daimyo of the Land of Fire. He hated the Hyuga clan to the core. This time, he collected taxes in advance to cover the expenses and issued a huge bounty on the black market.

Moreover, the newly appointed Daimyo of the Fire Country also came to Konoha in person.

Nothing else!

He just wanted to see if the person who killed his father had a strong head and six arms. He also wanted to have a good talk with Konoha's Hokage in person and try to reach a reconciliation.

Just like what Brother Fugaku and Hinata Hicheng said, after losing the right to dictate to Konoha and losing the support of the Ninja Village, life was not easy for the Daimyo of the Fire Country. Even the guardian Ninja was replaced by Konoha. It was taken back, and now personal safety is a problem.

He also thought about supporting another ninja village alone to check and balance Konoha.

But everything takes time. He doesn't have the confidence to build a ninja village under Konoha's nose without being discovered. If one bad move happens, Konoha may go completely crazy and his name will be wiped out. .

So when he came this time, the Fire Country Daimyo made two preparations.

First, tentatively reconcile with Konoha, but it is absolutely impossible to make him bow his head and apologize as the Fifth Hokage said.

Second, he plans to secretly form a force in the Land of Fire, and when it is almost fully developed, he will forcefully announce that a new ninja village has been established in the Land of Fire. He has already thought of a name, and it will be called Yanyin Village!

Although the name is somewhat similar to Iwagakure Village, it at least highlights the characteristics of the Land of Fire. It's not a big problem. Everything depends on Konoha itself.

In short, as more and more people came to Konoha, the atmosphere in the village began to become weird.

Everyone has evil intentions, and they are all the young ninjas of the ninja world.

The situation in the village is quite complicated at the moment. I am afraid that Brother Fugaku himself did not expect that Konoha after reconstruction would attract so many buffoons and clowns.

"My dad is really nothing! He still doesn't stop even after being laid off."

In the corner of the streets of Konoha, Sarutobi Asuma looked unhappy and his tone was full of confusion. After speaking, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Uchiha Itachi.

no way.

His old father, who had behaved quite calmly after being laid off, had been inadvertently spreading negative news about the Uchiha clan for some unknown reason recently.

However, Asuma didn't know that he had actually wronged his father. After all, the person in charge of commanding the battle now was the second generation master of Konoha, who had nothing to do with Sarutobi Hiruzen, and although Sarutobi himself knew how to spread negative news about Uchiha It's useless, but I don't dare to contradict my mentor, and I don't dare to tell my mentor that I have used all the methods he used.

If Sarutobi knew that he was hated by his son because he followed the teacher's orders, he would probably feel aggrieved.

Taking a puff of the cigarette, Brother Asma's tone was full of hatred.

"Can't he know something? There is nothing wrong with the village now!"

That's not entirely true, Brother Asuma.

Uchiha Itachi, who was squatting next to him, took the cigarette, lit it for himself skillfully, and narrowed his eyes.

Since getting acquainted with Asuma-san, he has instilled in this man many ideas about the clan and the village. He believes that Asuma has also listened to it and has been supervising the remaining Sarutobi clan. Then he looked at Sarutobi The eyes of the clan were exactly the same as the way he looked at Uchiha.

Asuma, on the other hand, reciprocated the kindness and repaid Uchiha Itachi's kindness by half-coercively making his best friend learn to smoke and drink.

In this regard, although Uchiha Itachi is young, he is a man who can be rebellious enough to kill his own parents. It is not a big deal to learn these things. After all, he has been recognized by Asuma, and this Second-hand smoke does not pass through the lungs as much as it does when inhaled.

"You can't entirely blame the Third Generation."

The conscience of heaven and earth, the wise God Itachi is still respectfully addressing Sarutobi as the Third Generation Lord.

"My father is really going too far. No matter how you look at it, the scale of this succession ceremony is a bit supermodel. With my father's achievements, he is not qualified to hold such a grand celebration."

It is an extremely luxurious extravagance. If the money is used to build the village, it will surely make the previous reconstruction project better?

Uchiha Itachi sighed slightly, feeling that his father was too selfish and always enjoyed himself without caring about the village.

The future of the village where such people become Hokage is worrying.

"I object to this."

Asma pondered for a moment and gave a different view.

Although he was transformed into a weasel and a skunk, Asuma learned the methods to target his own people, so the two of them often disagreed about the village and often discussed it together.

"The village has just been rebuilt. It's not a big deal to hold a ceremony. It's all about clearing away the bad luck from the past and combining the succession ceremony with the reconstruction celebration. Haven't you seen that the villagers are smiling more recently?"

This is a good thing.

and

"And didn't the fifth generation pay this money out of his own pocket? It didn't use the village's resources."

This is where Asuma recognizes Fugaku-sama!

It was as if nothing could trouble him.

"That money."

Itachi scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this. He almost blurted out that his father had sold a lot of land to sell it. He converted the daimyo's land into money, and then used it to hold the unprecedented scale of the Hokage succession ceremony. No matter how you look at it, Not like what a wise Hokage should do.

One thing to say. If the money was used to build a village, he wouldn't really have a big problem with it.

"Forget it, don't mention them."

Shaking his head, looking at Itachi's slightly embarrassed expression, the considerate Asuma said he would not discuss the issue again.

Anyway, he was unhappy with his father, and Itachi was unhappy with Itachi's father, so they were truly close friends and kindred spirits!

"Speaking of which, today seems to be the day when the Mizukage comes to visit."

Standing up, Asma dropped the cigarette butt, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"This is the first time that a Mizukage from Kirigakure Village has come to Konoha. This is considered a breakthrough. And I heard that the new Mizukage is a woman?"

Regardless of male or female, anyone who can become a movie should be respected except my father.

Itachi nodded and followed Asuma to the entrance of the village.

But what surprised both Asuma and Itachi was that compared to the previous Kage greetings from other villages, the current pomp seemed a bit grand.

Ninja villages naturally have their own rules.

For example, the shadows of the five great ninja villages, because they gave Brother Fugaku face, so Brother Fugaku also chose to come out to greet them. As for the unimportant leaders of the small ninja villages, they just asked their subordinates to take care of them.

With Mizukage's level, it was nothing for Brother Fugaku to come to the village entrance to greet him. He just looked around, and Itachi couldn't help but frown.

Most of the village's top officials were here, and the guests who were supposed to be waiting in the village were all standing at the entrance of the village, waiting for Mizukage's arrival.

This is very wrong.

It is impossible for Mizukage alone to have such a big reputation!

Itachi looked solemn, and combined with the previous rumors that the leader of the Yangshen Kingdom was about to visit, he had a guess.

as expected.

When Mizukage's luxury car appeared slowly from the end of the road, everyone's expressions changed subtly.

Nothing else.

On both sides of the car, in addition to the pattern representing Kirigakure Village, there were also strange tattoos of the Hyuga clan emblem!

Following bursts of exclamations, the crowd gathered at the entrance of the village also began a heated discussion.

The emblem of the Hyuga clan has now been confirmed as the new totem of Yang Shen Kingdom.

To engrave this thing on Mizukage's car, unless the person who made it is crazy, or the two parties have reached some kind of cooperation!

What's even more incomprehensible is that the symbol of Yang Shen Kingdom is much larger than the symbol of Wuyin Village, so big that one can clearly see the priority at a glance!

"No wonder Hinata Hicheng is so confident. It turns out he hooked up with Kirigakure, one of the five great ninja villages!"

"The Kirigakure Village has been dormant for many years. Since the last invasion of the Fire Country failed, I heard that the Blood Mist Age has begun. Let's not talk about the impact, but the combat effectiveness and bloodthirsty are indeed not weak."

"So Yang Shen Kingdom has reached a cooperation with Kirigakure Village? Does it plan to accept the protection of Water Kingdom in the future?"

"I don't know, if it's just like this, what's the difference between this and Hyuga Hicheng leading the Hyuga clan to join Kirigakure Village? What's the significance of him recruiting small countries? Does he want all small countries to join Kirigakure Village? Isn't this funny? ?”

"I don't know what's going on yet, so I won't comment, but it would be really disappointing if Yang Shenguo could only show the Kirigakure Village's trump card."

"."

People who thought they had the truth started whispering.

On the other hand, Ohnoki, Rasa, and Raikage Ai remained silent.

The Kirigakure Village rebelled against the enemy. This was one of the conclusions that had been guessed during previous discussions at the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire. The Daimyo of the Land of Water had very little control over the Kirigakure Village and had released news to the Mizukage several times. After getting no response, he directly chose to hire rebel ninjas to cooperate with the actions of other major powers.

This was news they had received several days ago.

But unfortunately, since then, there has been no news from the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water, and the support mentioned has not been in place at all. In the end, it was the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire who gave the part of the Kingdom of Water.

As for why this happened, now that they saw the scene where Yang Shen Kingdom was suspected of being "protected" by Wuyin Village, they also made a judgment in their hearts.

The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water may have been poisoned, and the madmen of the Hyuga clan must attack the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water again!

And the reality is pretty much what they thought.

Hinata Issei didn't tell outsiders that the luxurious and extravagant carriage used exclusively for Mizukage's travels was built after he robbed the Daming Mansion of the Land of Water.

Of course, considering the wealth of the Daming Mansion of the Land of Water, it also allowed Hyuga Issei to go to Brother Fugaku and buy a lot of territory of the Land of Fire.

Now, looking at the entire map, the Country of Fields and Country of Grass above the Country of Fire, and the Country of Kawa in the southwest form a triangle, and then the newly purchased territory of the Country of Fire is connected to form a new border.

simply put.

Originally, because the Land Country and the Ghost Country were too far apart, there was no border line connecting them. Now there is a connection point, and what connects them is a large area of ​​the Fire Country that has been cut off. In the future, they will all become Yangshen. The country's territory also contains a passage to the moon.

Judging from the scope of its territory, Yang Shen Kingdom has already reached the minimum standard for becoming a great country!

However, for the Hyuga clan, this land area is enough for the time being. He needs time to manage these places well. If he wants to expand further, it may cause problems such as lack of manpower. If it affects the development of Yangshen Kingdom, the gains outweigh the losses. .

certainly.

Regarding the issue of purchasing the territory of the Land of Fire, after meeting Brother Fugaku later, a formal contract will be signed. At that time, Brother Fugaku will also announce this matter at the succession ceremony, and Brother Fugaku plans to use this matter to Testing the courage of the Fire Country Daimyo.

If the Daimyo of the Land of Fire says that Brother Fugaku did nothing wrong, then he will repair the relationship with the Daimyo on behalf of Konoha and restore the previous status. However, if the Daimyo disagrees, then he has no choice but to send the guest away.

"coming."

finally.

Under the spotlight, Mizukage's luxurious car stopped at the entrance of Konoha Village.

When Hinata Richeng got off the carriage, there were unexpected exclamations on the field.

Nothing else.

But from the Mizukage cloak this man is wearing, as well as his somewhat messy clothes and the lipstick mark on his neck, it is completely obvious that this man's relationship with Mizukage is not simple.

What's more, some people even speculated that Hinata Issei was the Mizukage himself!

"I really miss it."

Standing at the entrance of the village and watching, Hinata Richeng sighed inwardly.

Although it has not been that long since he left with the Hyuga clan and gave Fugaku to become Hokage, it was only half a year, but Hinata and Isei still feel like it was yesterday.

Since leaving Konoha, Clan Leader Richeng has done a lot of things, but this village seems to have stopped moving forward and has been resting in place. Even though the streets and houses have been rebuilt and look new, they still feel old and lifeless. It still didn't dissipate, but became even more intense.

It was undoubtedly the right choice for him to leave at that time. This village was a real prison like a caged bird for the Hyuga clan.

After all, he has broken through the cage now.

"Oh my! Brother, brother! You are finally here!"

Finally, the emotion of being immersed in the past was interrupted by the warm and hospitable old man Fugaku. He jogged over kindly, and then gave Hinata Issei an excited hug.

"Brother, I miss you so much!"

They haven't met since that land transaction. A few days ago, he sold the land directly to Yang Shen Kingdom. The matter was done by Kakashi and Uchiha Satoshi, so he had no chance to go there.

Now seeing the Richeng brothers looking at their careers outside, Brother Fugaku is quite excited.

"Hey, it's my fault. I haven't taken the time to come back and take a look. Let's do it later. I'll come back for a walk when I have time."

That's a good feeling!

Brother Fugaku smiled slightly and mysteriously leaned into Hinata Richeng's ear:

"Brother, the Uchiha clan beauty pageant is coming to an end soon. I'll go back and see with my brother. Whichever one you win will be your third sister-in-law. You can take her away at any time!"

It has to be you, Brother Fugaku.

Brother Issei's face was full of emotion, and he was just about to say something. Seeing that Terumi Mei had gotten off the carriage, he quickly buckled the Mizukage cloak that he accidentally brought down on her, then pulled her over and pointed at Brother Fugaku. .

"This is the noble Fifth Hokage of Konoha. Just follow me and call me Brother Fugaku."

Are these new siblings?

Brother Fugaku nodded politely, not daring to look around at all. His sensible look has not changed at all over the years.

"Brother Fugaku."

Terumi Mei said hello obediently.

But Brother Fugaku said he couldn't bear it, and no matter what, he had to let Terumi Mei just call him son-in-law. In the end, Terumi Mei was so kind that he couldn't bear it, but he could only agree.

After a conversation, the Godaime Hokage and the Lord of Yangshen Kingdom had not seen each other for a long time. They ignored the Konoha villagers who were watching the theater at the entrance of the village and the leaders of various countries to talk about old times. Everyone looked at this scene with big eyes and small eyes, not knowing what to do. good.

Only the second-generation Hokage, standing on top of a certain house, wearing a retro forehead protector and Senju armor, frowned.

Nothing else.

It was true that what he saw at the entrance of the village was a bit informative.

That person is a member of the Hyuga clan.

But the leader of the Uchiha clan, the fifth acting Hokage of Konoha, went over to compliment him like a licking dog. The Mizukage who should have been received grandly was like an obedient cat, listening silently from the side, just like the Hyuga clan A man should be more noble than her.

This is very problematic!

Hinata and Uchiha are doing everything, this is really difficult to handle, no wonder Monkey abdicated.

After all, he underestimated Hinata.

Sure enough, that Hyuga Hicheng was the real mastermind behind the scenes.

"Evil Hyuga clan brat!"

Senju Tobirama stared at the man coldly, as if looking at a black sheep.

But what surprised him was that even though the distance was not too close, his gaze still caught the man's attention. After seeing him, the man first raised his eyebrows, then suddenly grinned and grabbed it next to him. Brother Fugaku's hand.

And then.

He remotely controlled Uchiha Fugaku and raised his middle finger towards the second generation.

OK.

The second generation Hokage laughed angrily.

I accept your challenge!

Ten thousand per day.
