Chapter 503: Fork in the Road

After all, it was already a matter of the past.

Not to mention that her husband was still a little embarrassed. Anyway, she had already said that she would not interfere in this matter, so she should give her husband some face.

Of course, it is also equally important that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya are both dead, so there is nothing to be obsessed with.

"Hey, get up, Third-generation Lord, Jiraiya teacher, just like Minato said, everything is over anyway, so let it be."

Kushina sighed softly in her heart. Although her expression did not change, her tone did ease a little.

"Kushina..."

Jiraiya, who was helped up by Minato, wanted to say something.

"Okay, since all the seniors have agreed to this, there is no need to say anything. What you do next is your business. We, my husband and I, will not participate in it. Tsunade-sama, please tell us where Naruto is now? We need to take Naruto away first."

Kushina waved her hand to interrupt Jiraiya's words.

Not wanting to continue holding on does not mean that Kushina will forgive Jiraiya and others, but she just thinks it is meaningless.

She doesn't want to waste time here anymore.

Leaving here as soon as possible, looking for Naruto and Menma, and spending more time with their family is the most valuable thing.

"Ah? Naruto is going to Myoboku Mountain now and hasn't come back yet."

Tsunade was stunned at first, and then immediately responded.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama."

For Tsunade, who also has no responsibilities and no obligations.

Kushina still maintains basic respect, bows slightly, and turns her head to look at Minato.

"Then, my lords, Kushina and I will be rude first."

Minato still has a gentle look, bows to Hashirama, Tobirama and others, and then holds his wife's right hand.

"Swoosh!"

In a flash of golden light and shadow.

The two disappeared.

Looking at the departing Minato couple.

Hashirama, who was standing on the spot, also sighed deeply and glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him, his eyes full of disappointment.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was Tobirama's disciple, he was different from those people of Danzo.

Hashirama once taught Sarutobi Hiruzen personally, and he could be considered half of his disciple. At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was full of vigor, courage and courage, and had a heart that was enough to warm all the companions in the village.

From Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hashirama saw a descendant who perfectly inherited the will of fire and saw the future of their Konohagakure.

In fact, Hashirama's feeling at that time was not wrong.

Tobirama chose Sarutobi Hiruzen as his successor, personally cut off the rear, and also designated Sarutobi Hiruzen as the third generation. At least at that time, it was the right judgment.

Don't forget that the first Ninja World War was caused by Hashirama's death, which released the ambitions of other ninja villages that had been suppressed for so many years.

Then Tobirama, as the second generation Hokage, died at the end of the first Ninja World War.

At that time, Konoha was struggling. There were discontented people inside and many threats outside. The pressure was not small.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stabilized the ninja village bit by bit under these pressures. Not only did he win the second ninja world war,

he also cultivated countless outstanding ninjas.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade are representatives.

If you don't count the extraordinary guy Hashirama.

In fact, the peak period of Konohagakure was reached when Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power. At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also praised as a ninja hero by the whole ninja world. This was a title he won with his own strength and ability.

It's a pity that this peak period was too short.

It seems that with the end of the second ninja world war, Sarutobi Hiruzen entered a stupid era of stupid moves.

Although there is no comparability between them.

But judging from the changes before and after.

In Menma's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen is really a guy like Emperor Minghuang of Tang and Emperor Wu of Han.

Wise and decisive in the early stage.

In the later period, he had various illnesses.

The dividing line of this time was the death of Hatake Sakumo.

It was as if from that moment on, Sarutobi Hiruzen was possessed by someone, and he became more and more stupid.

Hashirama didn't say much, just a look.

It was enough to make Sarutobi Hiruzen ashamed.

In fact, in the Chunin Exam three years ago, when he faced Orochimaru, when he was dying, in the many fragments that turned around in his mind like a revolving lantern, Sarutobi Hiruzen already regretted many of the things he had done.

He always felt that if Sakumo hadn't died, if Minato hadn't died, if Tsunade and Jiraiya hadn't left the village, if he could have faced Orochimaru's development, wouldn't Konoha have embarked on a brighter and brighter future?

And he wouldn't have become a sinner of the village until now.

"Come on, Monkey, and the two of you, come with me and tell me everything!"

Tobirama snorted coldly, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu.

I will teach the traitor I taught myself.

Of course, everything still needs to wait until Menma's threat is resolved.

"Yes, second generation sir."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kadoen, and Koharu Koharu all responded immediately. The latter two had long since lost the calm look of the so-called village Hokage advisors, and instead had a look of infinite fear. color.

This is their Hokage mentor.

"Tobirama, please send an invitation letter to the child named Menma in my name later. If possible, try to sit down and have a good talk. Although the road to peace is very difficult, we will eventually make it. Gotta fight for it.”

Hashirama looked at Tobirama and said.

"Yes, Anika, I understand, don't worry, you three, follow me!"

Tobirama nodded slightly, then glanced at his three rebels with a stern expression, and then took the lead to walk out of the secret room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other three immediately followed suit.

Wait until the four people left one after another.

"Xiao Tsuna, there is another one named Sakumo. You two, please accompany me for a walk in the village. The last time I was summoned, my consciousness was wiped out not long ago. I still have it now. Let me take a good look at what Konoha will be like in a few decades."

Hashirama had a gentle look on his face, looking at Tsunade and Sakumo who didn't say a word during the whole process, and said with a smile.

The affairs in the village were left to Tobirama to handle.

In this aspect, Hashirama has always trusted Tobirama. Tobirama can definitely handle things in an orderly and reasonable manner, including before the establishment of Hidden Leaf Village. Even if the leader of the Senju clan is Hashirama, in reality, All clan affairs above are handled by Tobirama.

At this point.

The same is true for the Uchiha clan. Madara is a nominal clan leader who rises to power by virtue of his strength. In fact, Izuna is still handling all the internal affairs of the clan! ?

This is also the reason why when Uchiha Madara wanted to leave Konoha, he couldn't take his clan members with him at all.

Profit is naturally the most important aspect, but it is also closely related to Madara's low prestige within the clan. What if you try it if Izuna is still alive?

If Quan Nai says something east, no one in the clan dares to say something west.

Even Madara obeyed his brother's words.

Izuna and Tobirama are ‘others’ in the true sense!

"Yes, Grandpa."

"I will obey your orders, my lord."

Sakumo also bowed to the village's first Hokage, and replied softly with the highest degree of respect.

"Well, then let's go and take a tour of the village with this old man like me! Hahaha!"

Hashirama laughed and returned to his usual cheerful face. For this ninja god, there is no obstacle in the world that cannot be overcome.

It is like this when you are young, it is like this when you are young, and it is still like this when you are in your prime and old age.

This is the first Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village - Senju Hashirama.

under different forms.

Talk about the different choices you made.

Three separate groups.

No one has yet learned of the huge changes that have occurred within Konoha Hidden Village.

The same is true for Uchiha Madara, who is Black Zetsu's 'temporary master'. This is not only because Uchiha Madara's mind is too simple, but more importantly, Black Zetsu's actions never show any obvious traces.

Those 100,000 Bai Jue completely obeyed the orders of Black Jue.

Uchiha Madara?

Uchiha Obito?

Those are just the number one and number two spokespersons selected by Black Jue.

The moment Hei Jue saw that the art of reincarnation in the dirty soil was successfully completed, he took the first step and left.

On the scene, there are Asuras, the blood of the Uzumaki clan, and the presence of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Although Black Zetsu is very confident in his hiding and concealment methods, the probability of being discovered still exists.

Before several people wake up.

Black Zetsu just scurried away, leaving the area of ​​Konoha Hidden Village in an instant.

"Humph, with so many people here, at least there will be no problem in testing out all of Uzumaki Menma's trump cards. At worst, they will consume most of Uzumaki Menma's physical strength and chakra."

Black Zetsu looked at the brightly lit Konoha Hidden Village in the distance with a sinister smile and said in a cold voice.

Indras throughout the ages were careless fellows.

Although Madara Uchiha of this generation is the one with the most outstanding talent among the reincarnation carriers of Indra, he is obviously even more brainless, as if Indra's reincarnation relies on using his brains in exchange for power (Asura seems to be the same) Pretty much the same.)

As long as the person is more brainless.

will be stronger.

This also led to.

The so-called Eye of the Moon Project.

In fact, it seems that it was made by Uchiha Madara, but at least most of the series of arrangements in the plan were led and promoted by Black Zetsu.

Without Black Zetsu.

What can Uchiha Madara accomplish? ?

But people make their own choices, and they make their own paths, and Hei Zetsu has nothing to complain about. If he had the brains of Tobirama and Izuna, Hei Zetsu would be deceiving others! ?

If you haven't been deceived by others, you can be considered a black man with a lot of brains.

This is the two sides of the matter. There are advantages and disadvantages.

Anyway, from the positive aspect of the plan, Uchiha Madara is really the best choice for Black Zetsu. Paying for Uchiha Madara's personality is also the price Black Zetsu himself must bear.

Fortunately, Hei Jue had already awakened a thousand years ago.

Now it's finally time to harvest.

Black Zetsu took one last deep look at Konoha Hidden Village and then left as quickly as possible. He had to return to Uchiha Madara as soon as possible.

Next comes the most critical final battle.

He must keep an eye on it.

At the same time.

In the hinterland of the country of Taki, in the East District headquarters of Mitsuyin Village.

Menma, who had already dealt with the main force of Sunagakure Village, returned to the village with Gaara who had fallen into a coma.

"It's still the same as before, test the cell activity of this guy, and then adjust the dosage based on the baseline."

In that office.

The moment Menma showed up.

Xiang Rin, who was handling the documents on Menma's behalf at the main seat, was startled at first, and then completely relaxed the moment he felt Menma's familiar scent and heard Menma's voice.

"Have all the problems in Sunagakure Village been solved?"

Xiang Rin looked at Gaara who was placed on the ground by Menma, nodded first, and then asked.

"Well, the Godaime Kazekage has been killed by me, and I have brought back the one-tail jinchuriki. The remaining sand ninja are basically a mess. There is no need to worry about anything. Next, you can concentrate on dealing with Konoha. Hidden Village!”

Menma said softly with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Xianglin also nodded slightly and waved his little hand.

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

Two dark figures emerged from the shadows on both sides, with a cold aura permeating their bodies and a strong chakra fluctuation.

It was the shadow guards who took turns guarding around this office.

Each of these shadow guards are carefully selected from the existing light ninjas, and they are equipped with the third generation of chakra armor. It is the latest model and cannot be mass-produced. The cost is high. The ultimate high one.

He also had new pistols, grenades and other weapons on his body.

Paired with their personal strength.

Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in fighting an ordinary Kage-level ninja for a few rounds.

Anbu is anbu.

Shadow Guard is a Shadow Guard.

Before it was unified, now it is separate.

The ANBU has developed into four squadrons and sixteen teams.

However, the Shadow Guard always maintains four teams.

He is the strongest being among the light ninjas.

The two people being called out now were members of the sealing class and barrier class that Menma had led before, and they all had certain experience in dealing with jinchūriki.

"Take it to Prison No. 1, it's still the same as before."

Xianglin looked at the two shadow guards and said.

"Yes, Lord Xianglin."

The two shadow guards bowed in response, and after bowing to Menma, they carried the unconscious Gaara and left directly.

Winning is the best catalyst.

Even if the people are still the same group of people, their mental outlook will undergo earth-shaking changes. Now the light ninjas go out with their own aura!
