Chapter 168 Naruto’s Archway

You actually know the art of spiritual transformation? "

"You have some knowledge." Uchiha Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"I saw it in the ANBU files before, but I was in a hurry and didn't think of it for a while."

"However, your spiritual transformation technique is somewhat different from what is recorded in the files."

Gen Uchiha smiled lightly and said: "My spiritual transformation technique has no flaws."

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost pondered for a while and then exclaimed: "The main body can move freely, and coupled with the flying thunder god's technique, there are indeed no shortcomings and it is impeccable!"

"Is it because of your special ability to absorb souls?"

Uchiha Gen smiled and did not answer, which seemed to the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon to be acquiescence.

"Loquat Juuzou and Ingaki Kisame are two good ninjas. Don't let them die. I will be useful in the future."

"knew."

"We'll be here tonight. I'll send someone to notify you if anything happens in the future. Continue your sweet dream."

After saying that, Uchiha Gen's soul left the body of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost and entered his own body. The body activated the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and instantly returned to the bed in the Konoha camp.

As for what happened at the Kirigakure camp, it goes without saying that the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost will naturally deal with the aftermath.

"Sweet dream?"

"What a terrible dream, he can't even sleep tonight!"

After Gen Uchiha disappeared and regained control of his body, the watermelon puffer couldn't help but complain.

"Did you say bad things about me just now?"

Well, Uchiha Gen's figure suddenly appeared in the room again, standing in front of the bed and saying with a half-smile.

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the bed. After a moment of recovery, he sneered and said, "No, no, absolutely not!"

"If not, why are you having such a big reaction?"

Uchiha Gen's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes became a little dangerous.

"You appeared so suddenly, without any warning. I was frightened."

"Even though I'm so big and I'm Kirigakure's frontline commander, I'm actually very timid."

Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost forced out a flattering smile and said.

"Then you need to practice your courage. You can't be so timid all the time."

Gen Uchiha just wanted to scare the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost, and did not intend to punish him, so he gave him a step down.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely practice my courage."

Gen Uchiha nodded slightly and disappeared.

"call……"

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and lay weakly on the bed, staring at the dark ceiling with his eyes blankly, as if he was hopeless.

Uchiha Gen returned to the tent and lay down on the bed happily to sleep.

You can get up later tomorrow, because you are growing taller, so you must ensure adequate sleep.

…

Time flies by like a flash, and a few months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Even if Orochimaru and Uchiha Gen deliberately suppressed the intensity of their attacks, Konoha still had the upper hand, and had the overall upper hand in the middle, high and low levels of combat power.

Because there was the biggest inner ghost, the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost, Gen Uchiha became a little more radical in his plan to harvest souls.

There was not much difference between Orochimaru and Gen Uchiha within a month or two, but the gap became obvious after a few months.

This is because Obito has been sending genin and chuunin to the front line, otherwise Kirigakure might not be able to hold on anymore.

During this period, Uchiha Gen almost became the de facto commander of the front line. Orochimaru handed over most of the affairs and became obsessed with various researches.

A few months have passed, and the battle reports sent back to Konoha from the front line have gradually fallen into the eyes of those who are interested.

That night, the great elder of the Sarutobi clan, Gounaga Sarutobi, went to visit Shimura Danzo, Mito Kadeni, and Koharu's residence respectively.

The next night, Sarutobi Gounaga went to visit Hiruzen Sarutobi at his residence.

More than half a year has passed, and the reconstruction work of Konoha has been basically completed. The traces left by the Kyuubi on Konoha Village have also basically dissipated, and Konoha has regained its former prosperity.

With fewer things to do, Sarutobi Hiruzen would go home earlier.

Upon hearing the news of Sarutobi Gounaga's visit, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that the other party was going to cause trouble again.

I just don’t know if this is something he wants to see...

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was wearing casual clothes, opened the door and walked into the tea room. Sarutobi Gounaga immediately stood up and saluted: "Hokage-sama."

"Well, sit down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen held his pipe in his mouth and waved his hands casually.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

The two of them knelt down opposite each other, sipping tea and chatting for a while before getting to the point.

"Lord Hokage, I am here to give you a suggestion."

Here comes the main course, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself.

"All ears."

"I think it's time for Shinnosuke to move to another place to practice."

"Change to where?"

"The Kingdom of Whirlpool."

This is to let Shinnosuke go to Kirigakure Village to pick peaches.

Shinnosuke from Tianno Country can only be considered barely qualified.

Although they blocked Kumogakure's offensive, they were unable to gain an advantage, let alone win. The two sides were basically evenly matched.

Kirigakure of Whirlpool Country has been completely suppressed by Konoha.

As long as Kirigakure has no intention of expanding the scale of the war and suppresses it step by step, Kirigakure will withdraw his troops sooner or later.

Once Kirigakure withdraws his troops and the war ends, it will be a great achievement.

Although he didn't want Orochimaru to make any more great achievements, sending people to pick peaches at such a time was really...

"What about Orochimaru?"

"Go to Tian Country. Orochimaru happens to be famous in Kumogakure. Maybe he can break the deadlock..."

The corners of Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth twitched, how could a person be so shameless?

"inappropriate."

"What will other people think if I transfer Shinnosuke?" Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.

"It's not that you transferred the new assistant, but the three elders used their emotions, moved them with reason, and explained them with their power to force you to transfer the new assistant."

Sarutobi Gounaga smiled slightly and said meaningfully.

The glory of Hokage cannot be tarnished, and the Sarutobi clan also has to pay attention to eating habits, so he has already thought of a way to get down the stairs.

"this……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked hesitant, his heart was moved, but he was not completely moved.

Upon seeing this, Sarutobi Gounaga immediately raised the steps so that Sarutobi Hiruzen could convince himself with peace of mind.

"It is said that those who are able work hard."

"Shinnosuke's abilities are limited and he can't take down the hard nut of Kumogakure, so he can only let Orochimaru show off his power."

"This will speed up the war process, reduce Konoha's casualties, reduce Konoha's economic losses, and make peace come as soon as possible."

"This is all for Konoha, for peace!"

Sarutobi Gounaga danced and said impassionedly.

Yes, although this matter is unfair to Orochimaru, his starting point is for Konoha.

If Orochimaru was allowed to achieve a great feat, the Hokage's discussion would become rampant and he would not be able to suppress it.

He is not in love with power. If Tsunade or Jiraiya is willing to be Hokage, he will definitely hand it over without hesitation.

If it were the previous Orochimaru, he would also hand over the position of Hokage, but now Orochimaru has gone astray.

The darkness inside was getting deeper and deeper, and he could no longer see through it.

With Orochimaru losing his place as Hokage, where will Konoha go in the future?

Will it be more brilliant?

Maybe will.

But in his opinion, the chance is very small, and the greater possibility is to lead Konoha into the abyss...

Konoha must not be destroyed in his hands!

He wanted to choose a Hokage who could see clearly and have a bright heart.

Shinnosuke just happened to be his son. If it had been anyone else, he would have been able to adjust as well.

At this thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

Sarutobi Gounaga was overjoyed when he heard this, things were settled!
