In the past few days, a piece of news suddenly exploded throughout Shinobi World.
Land of Fire Konoha, this Third Shinobi World War shocks the entire Shinobi World village with the name of "Shinobi World is the strongest", their Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, the character who was known as "Yellow Flash" throughout Shinobi World and who killed all the enemies in Third Shinobi World War, actually died in a foreign invasion???
This news shook the entire Shinobi World like thunder, instantly detonating the nerves of all countries.
It has only been a short time since the Third Shinobi World War incident that swept across the mainland has settled, Land of Fire Konoha's prestige has reached its peak, but now he has suddenly lost a "shadow". This undoubtedly makes everyone feel unbelievable. Who is it, who can have such powerful means to kill Minato Namikaze, who is the fastest Shinobi World and has the reputation of "super speed" under Konoha's heavy defense?
Back then, Third Shinobi World War was caused by the sudden death of Sunagakure Kazekage. Now, does the fall of Konoha Hokage herald the beginning of Fourth Shinobi World War? This uneasy feeling spread rapidly in every corner of Shinobi World.
After hearing this news, some people are happy and some are sad. Those who are happy are naturally happy to see the behemoth Konoha suffer heavy losses at its peak. Perhaps this is a God-given opportunity to break the old pattern and redefine the territory of power. Those who are sad are worried that the decline of Konoha may trigger a chain reaction and drag the entire Shinobi World into the quagmire of war again.
As for the small countries and small ninja villages that are living in a narrow gap, their hearts are even more melancholy. The war has just been extinguished, their homes are still being rebuilt, and there are only ten men left in the village. They really don't want to become pawns in the game between big powers again and be forced to be involved in that cruel war Uzumaki.
Along with the sad news of Minato Namikaze's sudden death, another equally shocking news also followed: Shimura Danzō, the consultant elder of Konoha, actually defected?
He was officially listed as an S-class rebel ninja by Konoha High Command. This news made many uninformed people and ninjas suspicious. Some people even began to whisper, speculating whether the death of Minato Namikaze was related to the leader of "Gen" who was always mysterious and ruthless.
For a time, the whole Shinobi World was in a state of trembling and undercurrent.
Land of Lightning Kumogakure.
The towering Raikage building looked particularly solemn under the gloomy sky. In the spacious office, Third Raikage A was naked from the upper body, his muscles were tangled, and his bronze skin was soaked with sweat. The sandbag in front of him was full of holes, and cotton wool was flying. Every punch carried the huge force of cracking mountains and cracking rocks, making a dull roar.
"Konoha Hokage Minato Namikaze That guy is actually dead?" Ai punched the sandbag away. The huge inertia caused the sandbag to hit the wall directly, leaving a terrifying hole outside.
"Father, could this be a rumor? Or a smoke bomb released by Konoha." Classmate Little A, who reported the news, said in confusion.
"Probably not." Third Raikage A said with serious eyes.
"But... who can kill Minato Namikaze who owns "Flying Thunder God"?"
Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B, is currently sitting cross-legged in the corner, tapping his knees with his fingers boredly, humming his own rap.
"Yo, Konoha's flash, burp, yo!"
"Raikage dad, you are so angry, yo!"
"Shinobi World Fengyun is going to change his mind, yo!"
"If you want me to tell you, hurry up and step on him, yo!"
"Shut up, Killer B!" Veins popped up on Ai's forehead. What he couldn't stand the most was Killer B's inconsistent tone.
"Ah, sorry, dad, I'm just expressing my worries through art, yo!" Killer B raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"What a waste of worry! Hokage of Konoha is dead. What does this mean? It means they are weak! We, Kumogakure, have been looking for opportunities to surpass Konoha! Now, the opportunity has come!"
He walked to the window, overlooking the bustling scene on the training field below, ambition flashing in his eyes, Third Shinobi World War, they Kumogakure had gained a lot.
"Minato Namikaze is dead, Orochimaru, one of Sannin, has defected, and now the consultant elder Shimura Danzō has defected again...Konoha is now leaderless and in internal chaos. This may be the perfect opportunity for us to show off the power of Kumogakure!"
"But father, although Konoha suffered heavy losses, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Moreover, even if Hokage Position is vacant, someone will definitely fill it. Although Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi abdicated, his prestige is still there. Moreover, I heard that Senju Chen has replaced the defected Shimura Danzō and established some kind of "Public Security Department"."
"Senju Chen..."
Hearing Senju Chen's name, Third Raikage's heroic aura suddenly stopped.
Then I unconsciously thought in my mind that when fighting against Land of Earth, Senju Chen finally reversed the situation and used large-scale Wood Release Ninjutsu and Advent of a World of Trees many times. So much so that the Gobi battlefield at that time still has a large continuous forest, which is a great spectacle.
"Well, we are still on good terms with Konoha after all." Third Raikage A changed the topic and looked at his son.
"As an ally, you take people to pay homage to Konoha's Hokage Minato Namikaze, and express your courtesy. By the way, you can inquire about Konoha's current situation."
"Yes, father."
Land of Water Kirigakure.
Kirigakure, which has been shrouded in thick fog all year round, now looks more gloomy and mysterious than before. In Mizukage's Office, Fourth Mizukage Yagura is sitting on a large chair. There is no expression on his face, and his green pupils reflect the thick fog rolling outside the window, as well as the huge lake vaguely visible in the fog.
In front of him, Hozuki Getsuga was respectfully reporting the news from Konoha.
"... This is the situation, Lord Mizukage. Fourth Hokage of Konoha Minato Namikaze, died due to an attack by Nine-Tails, and his advisor elder Shimura Danzō has also defected and is classified as an S-class traitor." Hozuki Getsuga's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of unnoticeable excitement.
Yagura did not respond immediately, but listened quietly. His consciousness controlled by Obito was unable to express any real emotions. Only the will of Obito could be conveyed through him.
Obito controlled "Yagura" to stand up slowly, walked to the window, and also looked at the thick fog, with a hoarse and low voice. "Minato Namikaze... Humph, he is still dead after all. Who in this world can escape the arrangement of fate?"
Hozuki Getsuga raised his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he did not dare to ask any more questions.
"Konoha's decline is inevitable." "Yagura" continued, with a kind of insight and ridicule of worldly affairs in his voice, "Hokage's sacrifice and internal turmoil are just the beginning. Chaos is the main theme of this world."
"Master Mizukage, shall we, Kirigakure, take action?" Hozuki Getsuga asked tentatively. He knew that Kirigakure had suffered heavy losses in Third Shinobi World War and was in urgent need of recuperation. But the "Mizukage" in front of him always seemed to have unexpected strategies.
"Action? Of course we have to act." "Yagura" smiled coldly, with a hint of playfulness in his voice, "But not now. The chaos of Konoha needs time to ferment. Those guys who are ready to move will test the depths of Konoha for us. What we have to do is to wait and see, preserve our strength, and at the same time... continue our plan."
"Yagura" turned around and looked at Hozuki Getsuga "How is the collection of information about that Senju Chen... about him?"
