Chapter 87 Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were shocked. The God of Taijutsu Yuxi is still alive? !

Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were extremely anxious and ran forward desperately, not daring to stop for even a moment.

Finally, they ran under a huge tree.

This big tree is like a towering mountain, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

They leaned against the tree trunks, breathing heavily, trying to regain some strength.

However, before their breathing subsided, they heard a noisy sound of footsteps.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku, with 20 elite jonin from the Hidden Cloud Sect, chased after them like hungry wolves.

These ninjas have sharp eyes and aggressive aura, and it is obvious that they will not let Senju Tobirama and others go easily.

"It seems we are surrounded. The number of enemies is... twenty." Senju Tobirama stared calmly ahead and said softly.

His eyes swept across the surrounding environment, and he quickly calculated the difference in strength between the enemy and us in his mind.

"Judging from this tracking ability...it is the elite Golden Horn Unit of Kumogakure." Senju Tobirama closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

He was well aware of the strength of this force, and their presence meant that the mission faced a huge challenge.

Mito Kadokendo En frowned and said solemnly: "Including the Second Hokage, there are only seven of us in total. In this case... the situation is very unfavorable for us." There was a hint of worry in his voice.

"Men Yan, don't get discouraged so quickly!"

"The enemy probably hasn't fully grasped our position yet."

"We can set up an ambush, and then break out again when they're caught off guard." Utane Koharu suggested, with a determination gleaming in her eyes.

But Uchiha Jing shook his head and analyzed: "This won't work, Xiaochun. Judging from the current situation, we must have someone act as bait to divert the other party's attention. Only in this way can others have a chance to escape."

Qiu Daoqufeng's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Bait?... That would definitely lead to death. Then, who will be the bait?" Hesitation and entanglement appeared on everyone's face.

At this time, Senju Tobirama looked at everyone silently.

He knew that this decision would affect the survival of the entire team.

And the person who is willing to step forward and act as bait needs not only courage but also responsibility.

In this tense atmosphere, everyone is thinking about their own choices.

Who will be the first one to stand up?

This person may shoulder the responsibility and mission of the next generation of Hokage.

Senju Tobirama stared at everyone, waiting for that brave figure to appear.

Time seemed to stand still and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.

At this moment, Danzo Shimura was in a dilemma.

"I am a ninja, and I have long since made up my mind to die on the battlefield like a ninja," he thought.

"Sarutobi, what are you thinking about at this moment? Do you have this awareness?" Shimura Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and thought.

"Speak! Say it quickly, I...why! Why can't I say it..." Danzo Shimura was trembling all over and kept hesitating.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped forward and spoke directly.

"I'll be the bait!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said firmly

His decision shocked everyone present.

"Hahaha, don't worry about me. I'm not bragging, but I'm the strongest among you. I will never die." Sarutobi Hiruzen said confidently.

Shimura Danzo's trembling also stopped at this time.

"Damn it! I'm such a coward, but deep down, I'm now... relaxed." He clutched his pants tightly, feeling unwilling.

"From now on, I'll leave everyone in your hands, Danzo. If it's you..." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, patted Danzo Shimura, and gave him instructions.

"Shut up! I wanted to be the bait too, so stop trying to be cool here by yourself."

"Let me be the bait!" Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen say this, Shimura Danzo immediately shouted

"Danzo..." Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel surprised.

Then, Shimura Danzo said to Senju Tobirama seriously:

"My father and grandfather both died on the battlefield as a ninja. Self-sacrifice is the duty of a ninja!"

Looking at the appearance of Danzo Shimura, Tobirama Senju already had a candidate in mind for the successor to Hokage.

"Of course I will be the bait. You are all the young inheritors of the Will of Fire who will protect the village in the future." Senju Tobirama said resolutely.

"How can this be?! You are the Hokage! There is no one more powerful than you in the village." Hearing what Senju Tobirama said, Shimura Danzo immediately retorted

After hearing this, Tobirama Senju felt a little speechless. After all, he had not explained it to anyone.

There are actually two more powerful beings in the village, namely Yu Xi and Kaguya Otsutsuki.

After thinking for a moment, Senju Tobirama said something important to the two of them.

"Danzo, you and the monkey are always competing, but now, companions must unite and not let personal grudges get in the way."

"Your hesitation in making a decision has become a fact. First of all, you need to examine yourself, stay calm, and know what you are doing."

"If you go in your present condition, you will get your companions into trouble."

"Anyway, Danzo, Monkey, you are still so young and there is no need to be so anxious. That time will always come."

"Until then, cherish your life."

Then, Senju Tobirama stood up and made an important decision.

"Monkey, protect those who admire the village and believe in you, and then train people to whom you can entrust the next generation."

"From tomorrow on, you will be the Hokage! Monkey, Konoha will be handed over to you." Senju Tobirama said seriously

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"Sarutobi...you are always ahead of me!" At this moment, Shimura Danzo was very regretful in his heart and gritted his teeth, while Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in agreement.

"Also, you all asked me before why I didn't let anyone get close to the mansion in the back mountains of Konoha."

"Because, there lives a particularly terrifying being, and I think you all know her." Senju Tobirama said solemnly

Senju Tobirama's words made Sarutobi Hiruzen and others very confused.

"The person living there is none other than Miss Yuxi, the goddess of taijutsu that we all know."

"You guys have all been trained by her before, and I think it's hard for you to forget."

"After all these years, she hasn't aged at all, and her strength has never declined."

"I just visited her the other day and she's still as strong as ever."

After Senju Tobirama finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others broke out in cold sweats.

They stared at Senju Tobirama with wide eyes in disbelief, as if they had heard earth-shattering news.

That’s right! They heard it right.

Yuxi, the god of physical skills who lived in the same period as Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, was not missing.

Instead, he has been living in seclusion in the mountains behind Konoha Village and doing nothing.

"Teacher! You...you are not kidding!" Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely panicked at this moment, his voice trembling, full of astonishment and confusion.

"How is this possible? Lady Yu... Lady Yuxi is still alive. Won't she grow old?!" A look of horror appeared on Shimura Danzo's face. He couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes.

The others also started to stir, their hearts full of questions: "Since Lady Yuxi is still alive, why doesn't she help Konoha Village?!"

However, Senju Tobirama just shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Ms. Yuxi did not join Konoha Village, she just chose to live in the back mountain of Konoha.

"She has her own way of life and ideas and has no obligation to help us."

This answer made everyone fall into deep thought, and they began to realize.

Lord Yuxi may have his own unique stance and considerations.

Maybe she has become indifferent to worldly affairs, or there are other unknown reasons.

For a moment, the whole scene became extremely quiet, with only the sound of the breeze gently blowing through the leaves.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others silently chewed over Senju Tobirama's words, with complex emotions surging in their hearts.

They were shocked by Yuxi's existence, but also puzzled as to why she didn't lend a helping hand.

At this moment, they realized that the world was far more complicated than they had imagined.

Yuxi's existence is more like a mystery, waiting for them to solve.

Senju Tobirama took a deep breath and continued, “However, Miss Yuxi once promised that if Konoha Village encountered a life-or-death crisis, she would help.

"So, don't disturb her meditation unless it's absolutely necessary." At this time, the team led by Jinjiao and Yinjiao were getting closer and closer.

Senju Tobirama looked forward with a determined look, "Alright, get ready for battle! I'll lead them away, and you guys take the opportunity to break out.

"Remember, protect Sarutobi!" Before he finished speaking, Senju Tobirama rushed towards the enemy camp like a gust of wind.

But they didn't know that Yu Xi was watching them from the sky.

"The plot is moving so fast... It's a pity, I'd better take a break and eat some dried fish first!" She took out the dried fish and took a bite.
