"I object!"
Danzo reacted violently and stood up suddenly.
Are you kidding me? With such an advantage, you can actually negotiate peace?
Now Konoha joins forces with Sunagakure and Amegakure. Even if there are two enemies, Kumogakure and Kirigakure, the advantage is definitely mine.
There are powerful generals like Shita Genichi and Namikaze Minato, so why should we negotiate for peace?
Moreover, even if it is a peace negotiation, it must be proposed by Iwagakure in order to obtain benefits.
Now that Konoha is proposing peace talks, it will only make Iwagakure think that Konoha is cowardly, and it will be twice as difficult to obtain benefits.
"Hiruzen, you are too cowardly, this will make Iwagakure even more aggressive."
Danzo said with a stern voice, "The village has suffered such a huge loss. What will happen to our interests if there is a peace negotiation?"
"We didn't get anything from our previous peace talks with Sunagakure, but at least we got an ally with whom we can attack Iwagakure."
"But what about peace talks with Iwagakure? Should we join forces with Iwagakure to attack Kumogakure?"
"In any case, I do not agree to peace talks."
Mitokado Homura was also surprised. "Hiruzen, there must be sufficient reasons for peace talks with Iwagakure."
"The sacrifice is so big, there must be enough benefits to explain it to the village and the daimyo."
Utatane Koharu also disagreed. "At least we should take some of the benefits and force Iwagakure to take the initiative to negotiate peace with us."
"Even after we capture Land of Grass, Sunagakure and Amegakure and divide the interests of Land of Birds, we can explain to the village, daimyo, and allies."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
This was expected by him, because such a decision itself went against the interests of the entire village.
It is also not in the interests of Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu.
It can be said that this decision is against the will of the entire village.
But he didn't want to continue fighting, he wanted to preserve the strength of the village.
The appearance of Uchiha Madara and his attack on Uchiha Obito made him feel very uneasy.
"Of course I know this."
"However, if it continues now, the village's losses will be huge, and Land of Grass's interests are actually not enough to make up for such losses."
"Also, we need Land of Grass as a buffer zone."
Sarutobi Hiruzen explained.
Danzo sat down again. "Then get benefits from Iwagakure, even if it's just compensation or division of tasks."
"But we must not let it go so easily."
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura nodded in unison.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo: "Danzo, there is a person named Nagato among Akatsuki, does he own Rinnegan?"
Danzo's eyelids twitched wildly. "That's right."
"Previously, I teamed up with Hanzo to strangle Akatsuki, but two of them escaped."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "Now Nagato, who owns Rinnegan, has come together with Uchiha Madara."
Danzo The three of them were stunned.
Mitokado Homura's voice was trembling. "Uchiha...Uchiha Madara? Hiruzen You are not wrong, are you?"
"This man has been killed by First a long time ago."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said quietly, "Last time Genichi went on a mission, that is, after Danzo strangled Akatsuki, you met a person who claimed to be Uchiha Madara."
Danzo immediately shouted, "It can't be Uchiha Madara, it must be someone from Uchiha who faked it. This family has always had terrible ambitions."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Danzo, you know very well that Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan has Mangekyō Sharingan on top of Three Tomoe, right?"
"And one of Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities is Susanoo."
"The person who calls himself Uchiha Madara uses Susanoo."
"Genichi has already fought against him."
Danzo exclaimed, "What, Susanoo?"
Utatane Koharu said in surprise, "No one in the Uchiha Clan should have opened Mangekyō Sharingan now. Even back then, it seemed that only Uchiha Madara and his brother had opened Mangekyō Sharingan."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. "There is one more thing."
"When Team Kakashi was performing the mission Kannabi Bridge, it was suspected that Uchiha Madara had tampered with it. The child Uchiha Obito was targeted."
"Maybe it's not just the child Uchiha Obito who is being targeted."
Danzo reacted almost instinctively. "Leave Uchiha Obito to Root for protection!"
If Uchiha Madara can be interested in it, no matter whether it is the real Uchiha Madara, then Uchiha Obito must be extraordinary.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Danzo: "Root can't protect him."
"Uchiha Madara, not even Genichi is a match."
Danzo's eyes twitched and he was speechless.
Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "Obito That child's heart has been set with a spell. The specific function is not yet clear, but it is definitely not a good thing."
"There is also the identity of Uchiha Madara, based on the information of Genichi and Uchiha Obito, plus Uchiha Clan's forbidden technique Izanagi..."
"Danzo, you should be very clear about Izanagi."
Danzo's expression was not good-looking. "At the cost of permanent blindness, a Three Tomoe Sharingan can turn all unfavorable factors into illusions, including death."
"Did Uchiha Madara use this technique to deceive First and Second?"
Utatane Koharu said, "But... the teacher brought Uchiha Madara's body back to Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Transcription Seal, Uchiha Clan's unique Sealing Jutsu can seal the pupil technique in the eyes in advance and set a specific time to activate it."
Mitokado Homura said in a solemn voice, "That's right, I'm afraid it's really Uchiha Madara."
Senju Tobirama has Uchiha Madara phobia, and they, as disciples, also have it.
Danzo said, "What is the purpose of Uchiha Madara?"
"Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan?"
"Or...Nine-Tails?"
"Hiruzen, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must undergo special protection."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "It's possible."
"Jinchūriki, just leave it to Minato. Only Minato and Genichi can protect her."
Danzo Once again has nothing to say.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said again, "Danzo, you should know the relationship between Akatsuki and Jiraiya, right?"
"The owner of Rinnegan is the apprentice of Jiraiya. That is a powerful eye technique comparable to Sharingan and Byakugan."
"You should have seen the real power."
Danzo suddenly turned ugly.
Utatane Koharu also turned around and asked, "Danzo, why do you want to destroy Akatsuki?"
Danzo said coldly, "Akatsuki advocates peaceful resolution of problems between major powers. This is not in our interests."
"Moreover, Hanzo wants to accept them, which will strengthen Amegakure's power and will also be detrimental to us."
Mitokado Homura said, "Although it is good, now that the owner of Rinnegan and Uchiha Madara have come together, it will bring us huge trouble."
Damn...
Danzo gritted his teeth secretly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "There is no need to pursue these matters anymore."
"But continuing the war is very detrimental to us. We must have enough strength to deal with the crisis caused by Uchiha Madara."
"However, it is indeed unfavorable to negotiate directly with Iwagakure."
"Then let's make a quick decision. After capturing Land of Grass and Land of Birds, we can propose peace talks to Iwagakure."
"As for the consequences, I, as Hokage, will naturally be responsible."
"I will quit Hokage Position when the time comes!"
Danzo was startled, and then felt ecstatic and stopped talking.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were equally surprised and had nothing to say for a while.
Sarutobi Hiruzen It's hard for them to accept that the roof has been lifted. Now they just open the windows and have to abdicate. What else can they say?
Orochimaru Experimental Base.
Danzo looked at the busy Orochimaru and said, "Don't you have the idea of competing for the Fourth Generation?"
"Next, as long as you lead the team to eliminate Kusagakure, I will be able to push you to become the fourth generation."
Orochimaru chuckled and said, "My chances of winning are not good, Teacher Sarutobi is not the candidate I have in mind."
Danzo snorted, "Tsunade is not suitable to be Hokage at all. She has no way to bring stability and benefits to the village."
Orochimaru said, "This is not something you and I can have the final say on."
Danzo was very dissatisfied, so he left Experimental Base in a hurry.
Sarutobi Hiruzen chose to abdicate. Although he did not say who he wanted to become the fourth generation, his intention was very obvious.
Danzo originally wanted to push Orochimaru to the top, and he was controlling it behind the scenes.
But now Orochimaru doesn't have this intention. It's really unmotivated.
"In this case, I can only take action myself."
Danzo's eyes are filled with sadness.
Neither Sarutobi Hiruzen nor Tsunade has the ability to lead Konoha to continue to grow.
These people are too cowardly.
He obviously has powerful power in his hands but doesn't use it.
"Hokage Position, it must be mine!"
Danzo clenched his fists, and the memory of being beaten by Shita Genichi appeared in his mind, and the flames burned in his heart.
If Tsunade is allowed to become the fourth generation, it may be difficult for him to master Root.
"For the sake of the village, I can only bear all the darkness..."
Looking at Hokage Rock, Danzo made a decision in his heart.
Konoha March 15, 48.
Konoha, Amegakure, and Sunagakure launched a massive attack on Iwagakure at Land of Rain and Land of Grass, raising the intensity of the war to the highest level since the war began.
Iwagakure, Tsuchikage Office.
Ōnoki looks very ugly.
I never thought that my home would be besieged one day like Konoha.
"Fifth Kazekage..."
Ōnoki instinctively felt that there was a conspiracy behind Fourth Kazekage's death.
Sunagakure, who died Fourth Kazekage, actually cooperated closely with the murderer Konoha. This is not normal.
"Yellow Flash, Shita Genichi..."
Ōnoki is deeply afraid, especially the latter.
Third Mizukage and Fourth Kazekage both died in the hands of this brat, which is simply unbelievable.
But the accuracy of the intelligence... is very high.
Whether it is Sunagakure or Kirigakure, they all admit it.
"It seems that we must unite with Kirigakure..."
Ōnoki thought to himself.
As for joining forces with Kumogakure... he would like to, but Kumogakure, the troublemaker, might not agree because of his father's hatred.
Moreover, even if Kumogakure does not cooperate, Kumogakure will attack Konoha.
The only good news now is that despite Konoha's fierce offensive, neither Yellow Flash nor Shita Genichi appeared on the battlefield.
In the wards of Konoha Hospital and Hatake Sakumo.
Under the command of Tsunade, Shizune and Nohara Rin were responsible for injecting White Zetsu Cells into the comminuted fracture of Hatake Sakumo's left arm.
At this moment, Shita Genichi, Uzumaki Ina, Kakashi, and Uchiha Obito are also present.
Uzumaki Ina even released Adamantine Sealing Chains. Once White Zetsu Cells loses control in the hands of Hatake Sakumo, it will immediately take action to suppress it.
Although Hatake Sakumo's cells and White Zetsu Cells's cells have been used to conduct experiments before, and they can symbiosis with each other, Shita Genichi and others are still on guard.
After all, the cellular level and the individual level cannot be equated.
As White Zetsu Cells was injected, Hatake Sakumo's left arm immediately bulged up.
"Shizune, Lin, guide White Zetsu Cells immediately."
Tsunade ordered.
Shizune and Lin immediately used Medical Ninjutsu to guide the proliferating White Zetsu Cells to repair Hatake Sakumo's arm bones, fill the gaps between the broken bones, and connect and bridge the bones.
This is completely different from bone marrow transplantation.
On the contrary, it is similar to Uchiha Obito.
Of course, Uchiha Obito, that's almost filled with White Zetsu body.
With the guidance of Shizune and Nohara Rin, White Zetsu Cells finally stopped proliferating wantonly in the arms of Hatake Sakumo and began to be orderly.
Hatake Sakumo gritted his teeth, and cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead.
That is the continuous fusion of White Zetsu Cells and its own cells, which is the abnormal feeling caused by bone growth.
Pain, itching... it's hard to describe.
Uchiha Obito looked at it and couldn't help but said, "I didn't seem to feel anything at that time."
Shita Genichi said, "Because you are completely in a deep coma, and may even be controlled by Genjutsu, otherwise how do you think Uchiha Madara could set a spell in your heart."
Uchiha Obito couldn't help scratching his head after hearing this.
Cell fusion, cell growth, and bone growth are all so intense that the taste is not pleasant.
As the fusion stabilized, the color of Hatake Sakumo's left arm also began to change, and the skin quickly became pale, just like White Zetsu.
Suddenly, Shizune's color changed. "Lady Tsunade, I can't suppress the spread of White Zetsu Cells."
Shita Genichi saw that the color on Hatake Sakumo's left arm was rapidly spreading towards his shoulders, and immediately shouted, "Teacher, use your own chakra to suppress these White Zetsu Cells."
"White Zetsu Cells is far less powerful than First Hokage Cells. It should be able to forcibly suppress them."
Hatake Sakumo nodded, and the refined chakra poured into his left arm. Coupled with his strong will, he finally stabilized the spreading White Zetsu Cells.
Tsunade looked at it and said, "Try to extract chakra from the left arm, especially those White Zetsu Cells."
"Come on little by little..."
Hatake Sakumo nodded, then tried to refine it, and found it a little difficult.
So starting from the fusion area, it became much easier.
However, the refined chakra is slightly different from itself, and the amount of chakra contained in a single cell is amazing.
Tsunade continued, "Use your own chakra to warm these cells. Chakra carries will, and cells have instincts. These instincts need you to use chakra to assimilate them, or use your spiritual will to assimilate them, so that they become a part of your body's subconscious."
"This way you can control these cells freely."
This is completely different from bone marrow transplantation.
Bone marrow transplant is not that troublesome.
But bone marrow transplantation is very dangerous. If the rejection is too great, White Zetsu Cells will eat people.
Although White Zetsu Cells is not as domineering as Hashirama Cells.
Seeing Hatake Sakumo's left arm becoming stable, Tsunade nodded, then looked at Shita Genichi: "After a month or two, we should be able to try to grow an arm for Kakashi."
Hatake Sakumo took a long breath and said with a smile, "Sorry to trouble you, Tsunade!"
Tsunade waved his hand. "No need to be so polite."
"This can be considered an experiment of yours."
Shita Genichi smiled and said, "It is very successful so far."
"Next, teacher, when your left arm is completely fused, we can extract the bone marrow cells and culture them with First Hokage Cells and White Zetsu Cells."
"There are two options. One is to inject cultured bone marrow cells into Kakashi's body, which is often called cell transplantation. Of course, a more accurate term is bone marrow transplantation."
"Because there is no problem with your match with Kakashi, teacher, so the possibility of rejection will be greatly reduced."
"The second option is to use your cells, teacher, plus White Zetsu Cells and First Hokage Cells to directly grow an arm, and then transplant it to Kakashi."
Uchiha Obito couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this, "Directly cultivate an arm?"
Shita Genichi nodded.
Tsunade already has technical reserves in this area, plus Orochimaru has cultivated Eight-Tails Horn's technology, which is enough.
Of course, in fact, you can also directly cut off the arm from the White Zetsu half corpse he obtained before and use it as a basis for deployment.
But using Hatake Sakumo cells as the basis is safer, and adding First Hokage Cells will make it stronger, and the improvement to Kakashi will be very obvious.
Maybe a second Wood Release ninja can be created.
As for Hatake Sakumo, it is very, very difficult to master Wood Release.
After all, it is too superficial and crude.
That's why Tsunade is said to be an experiment, but it is actually a basis for treatment of Kakashi.
But at the same time, this is also the most suitable method for Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo thought for a while and did not express an opinion, but asked his son, "Kakashi, what do you think?"
Kakashi said calmly, "I listen to Lady Tsunade and Genichi, leave professional matters to professional people to make decisions."
Hatake Sakumo nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Tsunade, Genichi, it's up to you to make the decision on this matter!"
Tsunade nodded and said, "Then use the second option, which is safer."
Shita Genichi No comments.
Tsunade is more professional than him in this regard.
Uchiha Obito laughed after hearing this, "Great, Kakashi, after your arm heals, we must have a good competition."
"Hmph, I already have Sharingan, and I will definitely defeat you when the time comes!"
Kakashi is still murderous and heart-wrenching. "As long as you don't cry."
Uchiha Obito immediately broke his guard and went crazy. "Where is it?"
"Obviously his eyes were squinted by the wind and sand!"
"You are so disgusting, I must teach you a lesson!"
Nohara Rin on the side stopped arguing and instead covered his mouth and snickered.
After experiencing a life and death, many things are no longer the same.
Hatake Sakumo also looked at it with a smile. He was also very happy that his son had such a friend.
He could feel that his son was being changed by this Uchiha boy.
Shita Genichi looked on, but a thought couldn't help but arise in his mind, "What will the future of these two people be like?"
"Will Obito also turn on Mangekyō Sharingan?"
"After Kakashi gets Hashirama Cells, what kind of miracles will bloom?"
"No more Sharingan, but get Wood Release?"
