Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't respond until Danzo left, then he turned his head and glanced in the direction where Danzo disappeared.
He shook his head, the figure of Hatake Sakumo emerged in his mind, and sighed.
Sakumo's death had a big impact on Konoha.
The major ninja villages are now frequently testing Konoha, and this is also because Konoha has lost the powerful fighting force of 'White Fang'.
Kakashi was also affected by Sakumo's death. No matter which team he was assigned to, he would always have conflicts with his seniors. It has been more than two years since graduation and he has never been able to be placed in a suitable team. Danzo There are reasons for the proposal.
"Your child is an excellent ninja, Sakumo, but he is a little too immature when it comes to dealing with others..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered.
Hatake Sakumo's two children, Kaede Ye and Kakashi, if Kaede Ye can be called 'excellent', then Kakashi is undoubtedly a genius. As if he has inherited Sakumo's talent, he may become a The second Konoha White Fang.
Now how to arrange Kakashi is a problem. So far, he has arranged a team for Kakashi several times, but every time he can't stay long before trouble comes to him.
It was impossible to hand Kakashi over to Danzo.
Although the root is indeed very suitable for Kakashi, it would be very sorry for the dead Sakumo. Sakumo was very different from Danzo when he was alive, and he would never want to see his son being trained into a tool by the root.
"… How about this."
After many thoughts flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, he finally made a decision and whispered to the empty roof: "Go and call Minato."
It would be difficult for an ordinary jounin to suppress Kakashi, and the several jonins he had thought of as potentially suitable jonins could not get along with Kakashi. In this case, only Namikaze Minato was left as the final choice.
After Hatake Sakumo died, the most suitable person in the village to succeed the Fourth Hokage was the Sannin. Among the Sannin, neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade had the idea of becoming Hokage. However, the disciple Namikaze Minato recommended by Jiraiya was very good. .
If Minato Namikaze is to succeed the Fourth Hokage, then Minato Namikaze really needs to cultivate some of his direct descendants, and it would be appropriate to hand over the genius of Kakashi to Minato Namikaze for training.
"yes."
The dark part on the roof responded and quickly disappeared.
Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to his seat and sat down, took another puff of cigarette, shook his head and said: "... I didn't expect that I would have to trouble Minato in the end."
Because the situation in the ninja world was tense and Minato Namikaze was needed in many places, he had thought about Minato very early but had not made a decision. Now he has come around in a circle.
Naturally, he wouldn't worry about leaving it to Minato. After all, Minato was his favorite candidate to succeed the Fourth Hokage. Teaching a young genius was nothing more than child's play.
While thinking, Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a document.
The document contains detailed information about some of the ninja school students of this year, arranged in order of their relationship with Kakashi.
The top item was Kaple Night's personal information, but Hiruzen Sarutobi just looked at it and put it aside.
It's not appropriate to put brothers in the same team, not to mention Minato is still the successor to the Fourth Hokage. It would be fine if Kaple Night had the same talent as Kakashi. In order to cultivate the leaders of the younger generation, you can ignore these, but now you need to consider The sounds of the village.
"Metkai... Uchiha Obito... Nohara Lin..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and made a choice.
First of all, Uchiha Obito handed over this son of the Uchiha clan to Minato, so the Uchiha clan would not have much objection to Minato succeeding as Hokage.
Finally, choose a child from the civilian family. Metkai is a boy, so he excludes it. Nohara Lin is a suitable choice, which can achieve a balance in all aspects.
Snap.
After making his choice, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette and laughed for a moment.
The dignified Hokage actually thought over and over again about the placement of a ninja, and even specially intervened in the placement of Ninja School students after graduation next year.
However, Kakashi's talent is indeed worthy of care and attention, not to mention Namikaze Minato. It would be more reassuring for him to decide the candidate himself.
Basically there will be no problems.
After deciding on Kakashi's class placement, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't have much interest in other students. He put the information files about Kaple Night and others back and threw them aside and never looked at them again.
"I hope Danzo's actions can make Kirigakure's side a little more peaceful."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at the ceiling and blew out a puff of smoke.
What really bothers him now is the situation in the ninja world. There is constant friction between the major ninja villages, and it is almost a situation centered on Konoha.
There is no other reason. The Country of Fire is the country with the richest resources, and Konoha won the Second Ninja War and shared great benefits. This is why every village sets its sights on Konoha.
But he cannot compromise on interests.
In the ninja world, if you give in once, there will be a second time. You must use tough methods to fight against external covetousness in order to maintain peace. Sarutobi Hiruzen knows this very well.
So if the situation really cannot be restored to stability and the Third Ninja War is bound to break out, then Konoha can only fight it with all its strength and let war speak for itself!
Think of this.
There was a hint of coldness in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
Konoha, which gained abundant resources during World War II, has a solid and large backbone. Although the top combat power has lost one Konoha White Fang, his disciples Orochimaru and Jiraiya have grown into independent ninjas, and the rising stars also have wave feng shui. Such a leader.
If a war really breaks out, Konoha won't be afraid of other villages!
Chapter 9 Obito and Shisui
Ninja school.
It's not yet time for morning classes, and the playground is bustling with noise at this time. Many young people, tall and short, can be seen gathering there, and a scuffle is going on in the center surrounded by the crowd.
"Fire Escape! Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"
A young man formed a seal with his hands, opened his mouth and spat at the people in front of him, which shocked a few people, but only a little flame came out.
After a brief pause, the teenagers opposite him burst into laughter.
"Is this also called ninjutsu?!"
"Go! Beat him!"
"... Bastard, show me your moves!"
There were about seven or eight teenagers fighting together. They all seemed to be lower-grade students. They basically didn't know any ninjutsu and were just fighting. Two of them, who were a little older, fought with style, even You can see the release of the clone technique and some other ninjutsu.
Some of the onlookers cheered, and some were afraid of chaos. The scene seemed chaotic because it was too early and no chuunin teacher came to take care of it.
"What are you looking at?"
Feng Ye appeared not far from the playground. After taking a glance at the field, he walked a few steps this way and reached out to pat the shoulder of a figure outside the crowd.
Yuhi Hong was startled, turned around and saw Feng Ye, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good morning, Feng Ye."
"morning."
Feng Ye smiled happily and said, "Let's go to the classroom."
He has no interest in watching children fight.
Yuhi Hong glanced at the center of the melee, hesitated, and said: "That..."
"Um?"
Feng Ye looked at her.
Yuhi Hong said helplessly: "Yang is over there, he seems to have been beaten."
Feng Ye asked strangely: "Yang?"
Yuhihong pointed to one of the young men fighting in the field and said: "Here, that's him, his name is Yuhiyang, he is my uncle's cousin..."
never heard of that.
Feng Ye shrugged, not really interested in a character who was unimpressive and not even a supporting role, and said: "It's normal for boys to fight, so you girls shouldn't get involved. The chuunin teacher is definitely watching here anyway, so there's no need. worry about what."
"But… "
Yuhi Hong was a little helpless, and she was also a little entangled. It seemed a bit unreasonable to ignore it, but there seemed to be no reason to care.
Seeing Yuhi Hong being so entangled, Feng Ye curled her lips, took a step forward, made a simple seal with her hands, and pressed lightly on the ground.
"Earth Escape! Earthquake Technique!"
"...Alas, alas?!"
Seeing Feng Ye's movements, Yuhi Hong was surprised at first, and then felt the ground shaking under her feet. She didn't fall because she was well prepared.
However, the crowd gathered on the playground suddenly staggered, and several teenagers fighting in the melee were shaken apart by the sudden earthquake.
"Fengye you..."
Yuhi Hong stabilized her figure, and before she could finish her words, she saw Feng Ye put her finger in front of her lips, making a silent gesture, and smiled and whispered: "Okay, we shouldn't be able to fight like this. Let’s go.”
Many students who were shaken around didn't know what happened for a while. They thought there was an earthquake and seemed a little confused. The previous melee was completely interrupted.
But not all students are in disarray.
A student mixed in the crowd frowned and looked in Feng Ye's direction, apparently realizing that the earthquake just now was the ninjutsu released by Feng Ye.
"What a mess..."
The young man shook his head.
He looks a little younger than Kakashi and wears clothes with the Uchiha clan logo on them. Although he is inconspicuous among the crowd, his name is still very loud.
Uchiha Shisui!
Unlike Uchiha Obito, Shisui is a genius almost as good as Uchiha Itachi. Before turning on the kaleidoscope, he was able to become famous in the Kirigakure battlefield. After opening his eyes, he was known as the strongest. The Mangekyō Sharingan of Genjutsu, other gods!
It was not only Shisui and Yuhi Kurenai who discovered that Kaede Ye had used the Earthquake Technique, but also Nohara Rin who was also on the playground and had turned her attention to Kaede Ye early on.
"...Fengye, you are too messy."
Lin walked over from a short distance away and muttered to Feng Ye, "But Feng Ye, you are so powerful. The earth movement technique seems to be a C-level earth escape ninjutsu."
Not noticing that Lin was here, Fengye made a small gesture towards her, smiled and said: "I stole it from Kakashi, a little trick."
Uchiha Shisui looked at the scene here, curled his lips, and didn't intend to come over and say anything, so he turned around and left, but before he could take a few steps, he stopped again.
not far away.
A young man wearing Uchiha clan clothing and goggles like him was standing in front of Feng Ye, making a fist gesture towards Feng Ye and saying:
"Hey! Feng Ye, let's have a showdown!"
It was Uchiha Obito who challenged Fengye.
It was rare that he didn't encounter any accidents on the road today. He arrived at school early and was not late. As a result, when he walked to the playground, he saw Feng Ye and Lin talking and laughing at the first sight, and his mood exploded on the spot.
It happened that there seemed to be a fighting atmosphere in the playground, so Uchiha Obito came over angrily, clenching his fists.
"boring."
Fengye glanced at Obito.
He was really not interested in Obito before he turned black, and before he turned black, Obito was a kind-hearted and sunny boy, and Fengye had no intention of bullying children.
"Damn it... stop!"
However, seeing that Feng Ye refused to fight, Obito couldn't hold back anymore and jumped in front of Feng Ye.
Whoosh!
Obito attacked roughly.
Fengye sighed, turned sideways to avoid Obito's attack, and put his hand on Obito's shoulder. With a gentle touch, Obito lost his balance, and his whole body turned around in the air, and fell embarrassingly to rear.
Seeing this scene, Lin covered her forehead.
Yuhi Hong was also speechless for a moment.
"Is Obito really a member of the Uchiha clan? The name Uchiha is a bit untrue..."
In my impression, when adults mention the Uchiha clan, they are all in awe of the famous families, and almost all members of the Uchiha clan are geniuses, and they are among the best in each class, but the gap here with Obito is really a bit big.
However, just as Yuhi Hong finished her words, a voice came from one side.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear those words."
Uchiha Shisui came closer at some point and watched Yuhi Kurenai speak calmly.
Obito and he were both members of the Uchiha clan, but their relationship was too far apart, so he didn't care much about it, but when it came to the Uchiha clan, he couldn't turn a blind eye.
"Who are you… "
Kurenai Yuhi looked at Shisui and was slightly startled, then said: "Uchiha Shisui?!"
The name Uchiha Shisui is very resounding in the ninja school. He ranks first in his class in all grades, and he even defeated a genin not long ago!
Such a level is undoubtedly possible to graduate early. In the eyes of many people, Shisui is the only genius among this generation of students who is close to Kakashi in talent!
