Late at night, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his day's work and handed over the letter addressed to the daimyo to the ANBU ninjas. He exhaled a long breath on the chair in the Hokage's office building.
Although his two apprentices, Shikakumo and Sakumo, were in charge of the battlefield in Kawa no Kuni, intelligence from various channels was constantly being transmitted back to Konoha every day.
It can be said that, except for the frontline commanders, no one knows the strategic situation on the current battlefield better than him.
However, the situation is not very good.
The war in the Kingdom of Kawa showed signs of being dragged into a quagmire. With such high casualties, more ninjas were needed to fill the vacancies, so much so that a large number of genin had now begun to enter the battlefield.
There was also a truce between Leiyin Village and Yanyin Village, and they seemed to be planning to sit back and watch.
This was not in line with his understanding of the Third Raikage. Although the Eight-Tails went berserk, it actually did not harm the foundation of Raikage Village. At this time, he should work hard and not let the Iwa Ninja Village slow down.
Unless Raikage has other plans
The somewhat uneasy Third Hokage looked at the Hokage Rock outside the window and combed through it carefully, but still found that there were no omissions.
With Lu Quan on the battlefield, there shouldn't be any big problems for the time being. There was Danzo presiding over the security work in the village, and he felt relieved to have his good friend.
It must be that I have been under too much pressure recently.
The Third Kazekage reached out, picked up the pipe on the table, took a deep puff, and then sighed.
Who would have thought that a mission would bring such big waves. But it is impossible to blame Sakumo for this matter. If killing the enemy is wrong, then Konoha should be disbanded as soon as possible.
But this incident also reminded him that even Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law were dead, so who on the battlefield was really safe
He is Shinnosuke's only son. The problem is, let alone a girlfriend, Shinnosuke doesn't even have a boyfriend now, let alone grandchildren.
If something unexpected happens in a few years, wouldn't this be the end of my fine bloodline
The Third Hokage touched his chin and thought: Since his son is not strong enough, why not just have another one? This saves you from having to run to get your hair done in Lake Biwa whenever you have nothing to do.
After taking a short rest, he opened a battle report that had been sent back not long ago and read it under the bright light.
"Information on Konoha's Recent New Jonin"
The handwriting was familiar, written by his apprentice Orochimaru.
Generally, the promotion to Chuunin will be decided by the front line, but if it is a special Jounin or Jounin, he, the Hokage, must personally sign it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the sealed information book. The entire information book was not thick, only about ten pages. It seemed that there were not many newly promoted Jonin on the battlefield recently.
The first page I opened printed a particularly familiar photo.
Uchiha Chen
Class: Jonin
Chakra attributes: wind, fire, thunder, earth, water.
Blood Succession Genjutsu: Sharingan (Three Magatama Eyes)
Abilities: Psychicism.
Number of missions: 0 D-level missions, 4 C-level missions, 16 B-level missions, 9 A-level missions, and 6 S-level missions.
Looking at the promotion report, Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment.
He was not surprised that Uchiha Tatsu became a jonin. With his merits on the battlefield, he could have been promoted to jounin long ago. But because he was too young, he suppressed it and only gave it to one special jounin.
What he was silent about was the child's talent. Generally, jounin can only master two types of chakra properties, but Uchiha Tatsu has already mastered five types at the age of eleven.
If this is all you can accept, then it's just another version of yourself at best, but the speed at which your Sharingan is upgraded is too scary.
It's great to have "love", but what if it's too strong, especially for an Uchiha. What should I do if I accidentally make big news and a kaleidoscope blooms one day
After all, the depth of love is naturally dark.
With this thought in mind, the Third Hokage turned to the next page.
The information here is mainly about the ninjutsu that Uchiha Tatsu has demonstrated.
The first one to bear the brunt was the S-class thunder escape ninjutsu Kirin he displayed in the Land of Rain. Then there are some Chidori series ninjutsu.
Then the Third Hokage saw another familiar name - the Mutual Multiplication Detonation Talisman.
There is also an improved version of the mutually multiplying detonating talisman formation below.
"The scope of research is really wide. In a few years, it won't be too much to be named Konoha's number one technician."
The Third Hokage muttered and looked at the next page.
The third page explains some of the various tasks that Uchiha Tatsu has performed. Some things that the Third Hokage didn't understand were written on it. The purpose was to introduce him to Uchiha Tatsu's abilities in an all-round way.
But this also makes the content inside feel... a bit fantasy.
After all, he encountered tailed beasts four times in his debut and survived all of them, which is no one else.
As a result, a thin information book was filled with Orochimaru bragging about his apprentice.
After reading all the information, Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair. If it weren't for the smoke slowly rising from the pipe in his mouth, he would have thought he had fallen asleep.
Orochimaru's intention is obvious. He believes that Uchiha Chen is "one of his own" and his talent is once in a century, worthy of vigorous cultivation and publicity.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. He didn't know how to train him. He was the son of his old friend or his disciple. He was very close to him in every aspect.
But there's still that problem, he is from the Uchiha clan.
For a moment, the Third Hokage also fell into deep thought.
... ... ... ... ... ..
At this time, there was another person in a secret room who was deep in thought. The man had dark skin and a very strong build, but had lightning-shaped scars on his chest and a tattoo of the word "Thunder" on his right shoulder.
"The Third Raikage-sama?"
The Third Raikage came to his senses and said, "Well... have you had any problems with the Amber Purifying Bottle lately?"
The brown-skinned middle-aged man in front of him smiled and said: "How could there be a problem? The amber purifying bottle is the legendary artifact of the Six Paths Sage. It has sealed the Eight-Tails so many times, and nothing has ever happened."
The man said it confidently, and the Third Raikage was also a little bit convinced. He also knew this, and he just asked casually.
It can only be said that he has been a little nervous since the last time the Eight-Tails went berserk and caused the death of his cousin Fukai.
"Have you found out?"
"The reason for the rampage should be that Lord Fukai failed to control the Eight-Tails."
"Impossible." The Third Raikage frowned and said: "There have been so many rampages in the past, but Fukai only suffered some injuries at most, and the number of tails that appeared in the eight tails was controlled below six. This time, there are eight complete ones."
"It feels like... someone just pulled the Eight-Tails out of the Jinchuuriki's body!"
"How is it possible?" The middle-aged ninja was shocked. Is there really such a person in the ninja world who can sneak into the Hidden Cloud Village and take out the Eight-Tails silently
Is there a ninja world? The Third Raikage didn't know either, but he hoped he was overthinking it.
"What happened to the Jinchuuriki plan?"
"The plan is going very well." The middle-aged ninja said: "Our spies in Konoha have grasped the movements of the Uzumaki ninja."
The Third Raikage nodded, hoping that the plan could succeed, then they would have the perfect carrier for the Eight-Tails.
After all, Uzumaki Mito, the first Jinchuuriki in the ninja world, has never been violent until now.
Who would have thought that the Uzumaki clan, which had been extinct for so many years, could suppress the tailed beasts so perfectly
If I had known earlier, I would have left some in advance, and it wouldn't be such a hassle now.
