Chapter 66: Uchiha in Illusion
Chapter 66: Uchiha in Illusion
"I am old. Deciding on the candidate for Hokage as soon as possible will make Konoha Village more stable."
After looking at Tsunade for a few seconds, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and spoke slowly.
"What are you asking me to do?"
Tsunade curled her lips and said, "Shouldn't you ask Danzo this question? He would definitely be happy to answer you."
"You know, Danzo can't be Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected it without hesitation.
"Then why do you indulge him so much?"
Tsunade asked unhappily.
"Where there is light there is shadow. There are things that Danzo needs to do."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, "As long as we keep him firmly in our hands, there won't be any big problems."
"You are confident that you can control Danzo, but what about the next Hokage?"
Tsunade said seriously, "If you lose control, the consequences will be disastrous."
"So it's important to know who the next Hokage will be."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said frankly, "At least Hatake Sakumo can't do it. He can't deal with Danzo."
"It seems you already knew the rumors about Hatake Sakumo."
Tsunade said as her eyes narrowed slightly.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
It's impossible that he was completely unaware.
The Root is not an independent organization, it belongs to the Anbu, and he can receive relevant information more or less.
"Except for Hatake Sakumo, you three are the only ones qualified to become Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly, changed the subject and said.
"I am not interested!"
Tsunade said without even thinking.
"Why do you ask about Hatake Sakumo's affairs if you are not interested?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "Tsunade, you actually care about Konoha a lot."
"Just because I care about Konoha doesn't mean I care about the Hokage."
Tsunade said unceremoniously.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a few seconds, then he said, "I know you are here because..."
"Don't mention him!"
Tsunade interrupted him and said.
"You are like this, and so is Orochimaru."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said.
The death of Sheng Shu affected two of his students at once.
"Orochimaru is more suitable than me."
Tsunade said casually after being reminded by him.
"From the perspective of strength and means, it is indeed true."
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused for a moment and asked, "You really won't fight?"
Tsunade opened her mouth, and suddenly thought of Hanekawa, and a hint of hesitation arose in her heart.
"You have a big advantage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed her expression and continued, "Especially in the Land of Fire, you are more famous than anyone else."
It was Hashirama Senju who ended the Warring States Period and established the one country, one village system.
Tsunade is his granddaughter and is also a powerful medical ninja, so the Fire Country daimyo and nobles are quite familiar with her.
She is also the only ninja to be called a princess.
"Who do you want to choose?"
Tsunade asked, looking at him.
"do not know."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke the truth.
He tends to favor Orochimaru and Tsunade.
It has not yet been decided who it will be.
As for Minato Namikaze, he is now an ordinary jonin without much influence.
"Then take your time to choose."
Tsunade threw the question right back.
"I want to remind you that if you want to fight, you should make plans early."
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but complain, "Less gambling, more missions. Look at you, you haven't done any missions recently."
He didn't say a word.
Even if we don't compete, we can't let Hatake Sakumo take the limelight.
After all, he is not from the Hokage lineage.
"I don't have time because I'm teaching Hanekawa."
Tsunade said without blushing or beating her heart.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen curled his lips and asked, "Speaking of Hanekawa, as a teacher, shouldn't you take him out for some training occasionally?"
"He's still young."
Tsunade said in refusal.
"He is a genius. Age is not a problem. His current strength is no worse than that of a Chunin." Sarutobi Hiruzen said earnestly, "Besides, it will be too late to train him when the war comes."
"war?"
Tsunade's eyes narrowed as she asked, "What do you mean?"
"This is the information sent back by Minato."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hide it, "The Hidden Cloud Village has purchased a lot more ninja tools and supplies this year than in previous years. Perhaps they are preparing for war."
If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.
In war, logistics is an extremely important part.
Although it does not mean that the Hidden Cloud Village wants to go to war, we must indeed take precautions before it happens.
"I understand."
Tsunade said in a serious tone.
The reason why Rope Tree died was because of his lack of experience on the battlefield, which led to him falling into the detonating talisman trap.
She would never allow Hanekawa to follow in his footsteps.
……
"get out of class is over."
Eiichiro picked up his textbook and left the classroom.
Hanekawa packed up his desk and prepared to go to the place where he had agreed to meet Uchiha Tetsuka to have a real manly battle with him.
"Hanekawa."
Nohara Lin walked in front of him.
Behind him were Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito.
"Can we go watch the fight?"
Nohara Lin asked with anticipation.
Although Uchiha Tetsuka is insignificant in Hanekawa's eyes, he is quite famous in school and is the top student in the second grade.
"I don't want to, it's just along for the ride."
Uchiha Obito muttered.
In fact, he did want to watch it, but he didn't want Hanekawa to win, but he wanted Uchiha Tetsuka to win.
"can."
Hanekawa nodded slightly and said, "Let's go to the third training ground."
Including Yuhi Kurenai, five people left the classroom.
"They're coming!"
Uchiha Tetsuka saw Hanekawa from afar, and his tone sounded eager to try.
"Brother Tiehuo, remember our strategy just now."
Uchiha Shisui warned, "Be careful of his illusion."
"I know."
Uchiha Tiehuo patted his shoulder and said, "It's not that easy to defeat me."
"Ah."
Uchiha Shisui said nothing more.
He often sparred with Uchiha Tetsuka and knew his strength. Even if he was not as good as Hanekawa, he would not be defeated miserably.
"let's start."
Uchiha Tetsuka glanced at Hanekawa and walked to the center of the field.
"Hanekawa! Come on!"
Yuhi Kurenai clenched her fists and shouted loudly.
Nohara Lin was more reserved and didn't shout, but she also waved.
Seeing this, Uchiha Obito was so angry that he wanted to cheer for Uchiha Tetsuka, but he finally held back.
Hatake Kakashi looked calm.
Uchiha Tetsuka couldn't even beat him, so he was naturally no match for Hanekawa.
The only suspense is how long he can last.
Art fire escape ho fireball!
Uchiha Tiehuo formed seals with his hands and spewed out a huge fireball from his mouth.
Hanekawa stood still, drew his katana, and slashed down.
The fireball split into two and flew to both sides.
Fire Release·Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!
Uchiha Tetsuka had expected this and immediately performed his new fire-style ninjutsu.
The flames that came out of his mouth spread out in all directions like a cockscomb, completely sealing off Hanekawa from all sides.
"Won!"
Uchiha Tetsuka said excitedly.
After discussing with Uchiha Shisui, he decided on a plan for a long-range attack.
Use fire escape to prevent Hanekawa from getting close to him, and thus win.
But in the eyes of the onlookers, Uchiha Tiehuo was struggling with a tree.
"..."
Uchiha Shisui seemed to want to say something but stopped.
He saw clearly.
After Hanekawa split the fireball with his sword, he performed the magical "This Is Not the Right Place" technique.
He formed hand seals too quickly, and the fireball blocked his vision for a moment, so Uchiha Tiehuo did not realize that he was under an illusion.
Uchiha Shisui's expression became extremely solemn.
Instead of forcing Hanekawa to use his full strength, Uchiha Tetsuka made him look even more terrifying.
