In mid-December, the leaders participating in Five Kage Summit began to make final preparations.
Under normal circumstances, Five Kage will definitely not have a conflict, but in order to prevent accidents, it is natural to prepare for the worst.
Within Hokage Building, Tsunade has recently taken over the position of teacher and handles daily affairs step by step every day.
The two consultants don't have much to do. Except for some material dispatch, most of the powerful departments have Tsunade's own subordinates.
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicated, the advisor lost his power. Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura had no choice but to pray for the safe return of their old friend.
Also "praying" for his old friend was Danzo. The reason why he opposed Sarutobi Hiruzen's participation in the talks was because he was afraid that his old friend would suddenly die.
Without Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade, there is no need to consider the teacher's feelings, and it becomes reasonable to clean up the senior staff.
In the afternoon, Training Ground 3, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was moving his body, grabbed Adamantine Staff and took deep breaths. Enma noticed the state of his partner and immediately joked, "Is your body degenerated to such an extent that it becomes difficult to keep up with the offensive rhythm of the juniors?"
"But that boy, the power of Ninjutsu is stronger than when you were young. Your Ninjutsu has finally been passed down.
Shu Furukawa is extremely proficient in using Five Basic Nature Transformations, and can even activate certain ninjutsu with one seal.
Compound ninjutsu is at your fingertips. When paired with Shadow Clone Technique, Shu Furukawa can become a ninjutsu "turret" that makes it difficult for ordinary ninjas to get close.
"Don't be distracted. Since you promise to only use Taijutsu, stick to it!"
"It's about to happen!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was dressed in black armor, shouted in a low voice before dragging the Ruyi Stick and charging. Faced with the sputtering fire bombs, he either nimbly dodged or swung the stick to block.
Sarutobi Hiruzen seized the opportunity and instantly extended his stick body to sweep across, but Shu Furukawa calmly jumped into the air and launched the attack while Shuriken shot out quickly.
"This force! It hurts!"
The rapidly rotating Ruyi stick blocked Shuriken, and Enma complained again, but Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored it and continued to chase after him.
"Wind Release·Vacuum Sphere!"
Small bullet-like high-pressure wind balls flew towards Sarutobi Hiruzen at extremely fast speeds. Facing such a large-scale attack, Third Hokage smiled bitterly and could only use Earth Release ninjutsu.
For a moment, there was a banging sound in the training ground, and the erected earth walls were torn apart. Shu Furukawa's Wind Release Ninjutsu power made Enma praise him again.
"Okay, fix it."
"You are indeed old. I haven't fought for a long time. It will be difficult to defeat you just by relying on Taijutsu!"
"The timing of releasing Ninjutsu, the power of Ninjutsu, and the use of compound Ninjutsu are all just right. Your talent is better than Orochimaru."
"In order to take care of my Old Man's emotions, you haven't used a wide range of ninjutsu, and Shurikenjutsu hasn't used all your strength, right?"
As Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, he called Enma to show up. The latter patted his old partner on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "It's time to give up the title of Ninjutsu Professor!"
Shu Furukawa, who was wearing Jonin combat uniform, still looked modest and studious. He came to Third Hokage and praised loudly, "Lord Hokage's Taijutsu has no flaws. I still have a lot to learn."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. He knew that Shu Furukawa's Taijutsu was as powerful as ninjutsu. Looking at the young man in front of him, Third Hokage sighed, "Xiu, don't lose yourself in the process of chasing power."
"The talent of a ninja does not lie in the number of ninjutsus mastered, but in the perseverance to never give up."
"The more outstanding talents you have, the more you must maintain your original intention. I failed to teach Orochimaru well, which caused him to pursue ninjutsu for a long time and ignore the real power."
"In a few years, you will have to help Tsunade take on more responsibilities. She is sometimes lazy and likes to gamble when making decisions."
"Although it's not nice to say this about your disciple, she needs your help."
Shu Furukawa's eyes twitched slightly, and he always felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen was giving his final instructions. Seeing that the old man wanted to continue, he had to interrupt, "Lord Hokage, Minato and I are here, there is no need to worry about this meeting."
"Although it sounds a bit arrogant, these shadows shouldn't cause us much trouble."
"As for the threat of Tailed Beast, we have already formulated the tactics. We will set off at the end of the month. We need to make some preparations on the road in advance."
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed and stopped nagging, but after thinking about it, he still expressed his feelings. "The meeting should not have happened. We don't know much about Third Mizukage. He should not be a person who advocates peace."
"Although I haven't collected any useful information, I still think there is something wrong with Kirigakure."
"Let's go, you and Minato still need to practice ninjutsu. During this time, I will teach you on behalf of Jiraiya and Tsunade."
Late at night, in the underground laboratory on the west side of the village, Orochimaru looked at the improved version of Hashirama Cells he had cultivated, with a look of intoxication on his face.
Pakura on the side turned pale. Orochimaru's expression always made her feel cold.
"Teacher Orochimaru, you seem to be paying special attention to Kekkei Genkai recently? Did something happen?"
Shu Furukawa asked curiously after the computer processed the data. Orochimaru laughed twice with a playful look on his face, "As expected of Xiu, he noticed my changes."
"How's it going? How do you feel about receiving Teacher Sarutobi's teachings recently?"
"Is he talking about the perseverance of ninjas again?"
Shu Furukawa nodded, saw the smile on Orochimaru's face, and praised seriously, "Lord Hokage's ninjutsu and Taijutsu are both perfect, and they also have their own unique insights into the ninjutsu."
"Especially the compound ninjutsu, he gave me a lot of useful advice."
"Xiu, don't be deceived by this power. Compound ninjutsu is just a helpless move due to lack of talent.
Orochimaru commented with disdain. Seeing that Shu Furukawa still looked curious, he simply explained, "Kekkei Genkai, you should have seen it. We have been studying the power of Pakura for a long time."
"On top of this, there is a stronger Kekkei Tōta that combines three kinds of power. That is the unique inheritance of Iwagakure."
"In addition, there is also the legendary power, which is the so-called immortal power."
At the end of the sentence, a look of fanaticism appeared on Orochimaru's face. After controlling his emotions a little, he calmly added, "Remember, Xiu, in Shinobi World, only blood-successor ninjas can gain stronger power."
"The so-called ninja perseverance has no meaning in the face of absolute talent and talent."
After encountering Rinnegan, Orochimaru became addicted to it. In the past, he talked about eternity, but now he begins to pursue power crazily.
Shu Furukawa did not remind this teacher that he had deviated from his original intention. Although his power was good, it would not lead to immortality, and it did not mean much to him.
"As expected of Mr. Orochimaru, but for ninjas like us who don't have Kekkei Genkai, we always feel that studying this power is of limited use."
Pakura lowered her head. In her opinion, Shu Furukawa is a monster. It is a replica of Kekkei Genkai and has endless secret techniques. To some extent, it is more terrifying than Orochimaru.
"This is what I said, the body can only imprison the soul!"
"If I have the opportunity, I will teach you a new technique that has not yet been developed."
"Don't worry about the capture of Kekkei Genkai ninja. Without the war, I will still have a way to obtain experimental materials."
Noticing the "longing" look on Shu Furukawa's face, a smile appeared on Orochimaru's face. Five Kage Summit He didn't care at all. Old Man would only give a bouquet of flowers to him after he died.
He needs extremely excellent Medical Ninjutsu assistance so that he can continue to chase Rinnegan.
Ever since Kirigakure proposed Five Kage Summit, the atmosphere in the village has been a bit strange.
Most Kirigakure Ninja simply do not believe that the Mizukage adults who implement the "Bloody Mist" policy will uphold peace.
Half a month passed. As Mizukage continued to make arrangements, the summoned Kirigakure Ninja finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Lord Mizukage had another plan!
In order for Five Kage Summit and Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to be summoned later, Suikazan Fuguki was the strongest and was in charge of the code department. After hearing about this operation, he secretly frowned.
From Suikazan Fuguki's point of view, this does not look like Mizukage's plan.
The raid on Hokage, the raid on Konoha during Five Kage Summit, sounds reasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, it is almost like a suicide operation...
Mei Terumi, as the capable subordinate of Suikazan Fuguki, also received some tasks. After seeing the contents of the scroll, the girl looked confused.
"Monitoring the movements of Anbu members? Someone is colluding with Kumogakure ninjas?"
"The confidentiality measures are so tight that no information can be leaked except for you, a bastard."
After returning home, Mei Terumi took the initiative to communicate with the spirit body of Shu Furukawa. She relied more and more on the two of them to handle things together. "Even if you question it, there is nothing you can do."
"Third Mizukage has never seen such a talented ninja like you, so it's normal for Suikazan Fuguki to be suspicious."
O
"If I have a chance, I will kill Mizukage and those seven idiots. This way, you will have more opportunities to kill, and then you can recruit some subordinates."
Mei Terumi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Shu Furukawa's plan. After a while, he roared and complained, "Are you crazy? Kill Mizukage and Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist? Then Kirigakure's strength will completely decline..."
"Aren't you here? Pay more attention to some excellent Kekkei Genkai ninjas. They are a valuable asset to the village."
Shu Furukawa responded nonchalantly. He couldn't remember what happened to Kirigakure, but for him, causing killings was enough for now.
Mei Terumi started covering her face and rolling around on the bed again. She didn't know whether she should follow the arrangement.
She wanted to report to the village, but after rolling on the bed for half an hour, Mei Terumi resigned to her fate again. She wanted to gain strength and not be dominated by others.
"Really pay attention to the movements of Anbu. If you find something happening, follow it quietly. Your Mizukage is probably being manipulated."
"Even if you want me to obey orders, you don't have to find such lame excuses."
"I... I'm willing to help you."
Shu Furukawa's spirit body was speechless. Whenever he told the truth, most people didn't believe it. Seeing Mei Terumi starting to hypnotize himself in front of the mirror again, he immediately warned him again, "If there is a fight, don't kill everyone. I may not be able to distract myself from the situation here."
"The occult requires life."
