Chapter 208 Which Bastard Taught You
Chapter 208 Which Bastard Taught You
"Monkey, is there a suitable candidate?"
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the Hokage building.
On the side of the floor-to-ceiling window, facing the Hokage Rock, a ninja was using earth escape to modify and carve a large portrait of himself.
Originally his avatar had been completed recently, but someone discovered yesterday that the nose on the avatar had been knocked off, and he inexplicably became a noseless Hokage.
Danzo went to look for the culprit, but couldn't find him and told him that it was a child's prank.
Hiruzen didn't take it seriously and let the matter pass.
The elderly Kozo was crawling on Sarutobi Hiruzen's shoulder.
Two old men are discussing the future of Konoha.
"Actually, I prefer Jiraiya. Unfortunately, Jiraiya has strayed from the path he once took..."
Hiruzen muttered quietly, but the sound could be heard by Kozo on his shoulder.
"Mr. Gu Zang, who do you think is better?"
"Alas... Talents are dwindling, and each generation is worse than the previous one. In comparison, I think Orochimaru is more suitable."
Kozo said, looking towards Hiruzen.
"At least more suitable than you, Hiruzen."
Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled bitterly upon hearing Kozo's comment.
It's really hard to refute such straightforward disparagement.
Hiruzen understood what Kozo had meant.
He gradually became adept at scheming, and enjoyed maneuvering and maintaining a balance, but he lost his determination. Although the village developed rapidly, its drawbacks became increasingly apparent as they accumulated.
Some things should be dealt with quickly, and some things should be handled with unwavering determination, but it is too late to regret.
"Orochimaru is not suitable. This position requires someone more majestic."
Hiruzen denied Kozo's statement.
"It's you who needs to be great, Monkey. Tobirama has never been glamorous, nor has he ever replaced Hashirama's glory. And you know better than I do what Tobirama has done, but no one in Konoha still doubts his contribution to this village."
Hiruzen was silent.
Speaking the truth is like a sharp knife, it kills with one blow, leaving no one with any power to resist.
"If we only rely on image and publicity, when those lights fade or flicker, darkness will crawl out from the ground and devour everything. Hiruzen, you and I can't live forever to take care of this village, and we shouldn't fail to think more about those who come after us."
Hiruzen remained silent.
Deep down, he actually understood what Gu Zang said, but he understood it. When it came to really making a choice, he didn't dare to take the risk.
Orochimaru... Orochimaru has been missing for some time. The reason why Orochimaru has not been declared a traitor is entirely because we are in a period of war and the situation is unstable. The rebellion of one of the three ninjas is a huge blow to Konoha.
In fact, Hiruzen already knew almost everything Orochimaru had done. After Danzo was annoyed by Orochimaru's disappearance, there was no place for Orochimaru in the Root. Instead, the news of Orochimaru's human experiments was revealed to Hiruzen's ears.
Orochimaru is very good. Even though he has a history of human experiments, Hiruzen has to admit that Orochimaru is the best candidate for the fourth generation.
But compared with Senju Tobirama, Orochimaru was far behind in background and personal reputation, which made Hiruzen dare not gamble.
"Let's take another look, Mr. Gu Zang, it's Chuan Zang, you..."
Hiruzen pondered for a long time, and when he looked up, he found that the Kozang on his shoulder was gone.
There would be traces of Gu Zang's departure, unless...something happened in Sichuan and Tibet, and Gu Zang was directly conveyed there.
Hiruzen frowned. Where is Kawanzo? Mount Kikyo!?
......
In front of the gate of Mount Kikyo, under the huge torii, countless ninja corpses are piled up here.
But the shouting and screaming made it impossible for everyone to focus on the corpses.
Various types of ninjutsu, various physical techniques, countless blades and tools, the ninjas fought with all their might, and every moment someone fell under the torii, and then new ninjas rushed up to fill the sea of corpses in this open space.
"kill!!!"
A Cloud Ninja rushed towards Uchiha Shisui with lightning on his body. This kind of ninjutsu called Raiton Chakra Mode is unique to the Cloud Ninja Village, but not everyone can learn or use it. Moreover, the effects of using it will be completely different for ninjas with different levels of training.
Shisui stopped Itachi behind him, his Sharingan moving rapidly, his strong dynamic vision distinguishing the movements and directions of the Kumo Ninja.
rub--
The long sword was drawn out and swung in one go. After blocking the attack, Shisui's figure disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, the seal was already completed.
A huge fireball shot out from behind the Cloud Ninja.
The Cloud Ninja turned around and did not dodge the fire escape from Shisui. He relied on his own ninjutsu and rushed towards Shisui with the fireball.
bang——
The fireball exploded, and the scorching heat made Itachi's face red as he stared at it.
The flames rose into the air and disappeared in an instant, and what rushed out was the unharmed Cloud Ninja.
The Lightning Chakra Mode not only stimulates the body's cells to increase the strength and speed of the stand, but it also has chakra resistance, and its defense is also increased to an outrageous level.
Shisui saw the power of this move at a glance, and immediately dodged the attack, casually throwing out the Phoenix Fire Technique, then adjusted his body and jumped to the side.
You can't confront it head-on.
Shisui thought that the prerequisite for a head-on confrontation is to be tough, and he is not tough.
Shisui relied on his Sharingan to fight with the Cloud Ninja, but never engaged in a head-on fight.
This made the Cloud Ninja even more irritable.
However, Itachi just stood there blankly. At one point, the Cloud Ninja discovered Itachi's presence and immediately came up with a plan.
After striking Shisui again without any results, the Kumo Ninja suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Itachi.
Shisui's eyes bulged as he watched, but the Cloud Ninja was very fast. He could pull away with the dynamic vision of the Sharingan and ninjutsu, but that didn't mean he was faster than the Cloud Ninja's Lightning Release Chakra mode!
Itachi was startled when he saw the Cloud Ninja rushing towards him, but his good fighting skills allowed him to reach into the ninja tool bag on his trouser leg and pull out a kunai even though he had never experienced a life-and-death battle.
shhhhh--
Three kunai accurately blocked the Cloud Ninja's path, and one of the kunai even rushed towards the Cloud Ninja's eyes with incredible accuracy.
Dang Dang Dang——
Three kunai hit the Cloud Ninja's body, just like glass hitting stone, and were instantly bounced away.
The Cloud Ninja's speed did not slow down at all.
"Itachi! Get out of the way!"
Shisui shouted anxiously, but he was too late to stop the Kumo ninja's movements.
boom--
The collision was so violent that the seemingly long time was stretched and then shortened in the blink of an eye.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Shisui rushed over desperately, but stopped where he was, staring blankly at the third figure that appeared there.
giggle-
Lightning Chakra was attacking the hand that was holding the Cloud Ninja's fist, but no matter how hard it tried, the fist could not move forward an inch.
Itachi slowly lowered his arms that were blocking his face and looked at the figure in front of him that was two heads taller than him.
He had a short buzz cut, a big vest and shorts, and was holding down the Cloud Ninja's fist with one hand while looking back at him.
One eyebrow raised, while the other lowered, as if she was quite disdainful of the way he threw the kunai.
"Hey, little brat from the Uchiha family, that's not how you use a kunai. Which bastard taught you that?"
