Become Kizaru in Naruto World - Chapter 78
“What a mess, Kizaru!” After listening to Kizaru’s narration, Hiruzen criticized.
While criticizing Kizaru verbally, Hiruzen’s eyes towards Kizaru were filled with appreciation and relief.
After all, everything Kizaru just did was to protect the budding sprout of the village!
Shimura Kizaru would definitely become an excellent Hokage in the future!
The joy of having successors made Hiruzen, after criticizing Kizaru, unable to help but smile.
“When the mood is good, one wants to smoke!”
Hiruzen took out a pipe, lit the tobacco, took a deep breath, and looked sideways at the slowly descending sun in the sky.
As the sun sets and rises, the future of Konoha, under Kizaru’s leadership, would surely prosper even more…
“Sensei, I’m going to Amegakure, you guys can go back on your own!”
“Wow, can we prosper even more?”
Before the gratifying sentiment had completely risen, Hiruzen was pulled back to reality.
“Amegakure has your uncle Danzo sitting there, and Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya assisting. You don’t need to worry.” Hiruzen said.
He understood his disciple for ten years.
Kizaru, with such overwhelming strength, astonishing destructive power, a lazy and unruly demeanor, Hiruzen didn’t dare to let him move freely easily.
Last time, when Kizaru voluntarily sought to deal with Kumogakure, he directly captured the Third Raikage and the Two-Tails and brought them back to the village.
Now, Kizaru wanted to go to Amegakure, and Hiruzen is really worried that this guy would be too fierce and directly capture Hanzo and the Third Kazekage and bring them back to the village.
If he does this a few more times, Hiruzen estimates that he can directly convene a Five Kage Summit in Konoha.
And the topic of the summit would be the redistribution of the tailed beasts.
The scene is too beautiful, making Hiruzen dare not continue to think about it.
In Amegakure, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya were fully prepared and stood in front of the ninja forces.
Not long ago, Danzo received the information that a ceasefire agreement had been reached with Third Kazekage.
At the first time of receiving the information, Danzo requested Tsunade and the others to lead the ninja forces to gather and prepare to attack Amegakure.
Knowing the importance of speed in war, Danzo continued to send out scouts to investigate Gaara’s movements while requiring Tsunade and the others to assemble, ready to set off immediately.
“Lord Danzo, Hanzo, leading the ninja of Amegakure, is on the way back to the village.” Confirming Gaara and the Amegakure’s movements, the Amegakure ninja reported to Danzo for the first time.
“Understood!”
“Remember, all the guerrilla teams must not engage in prolonged battles. After launching an attack, regardless of the results, immediately retreat.”
“Understood!”
“After the retreat, all teams act separately, destroy all villages and towns around Amegakure, and burn all the food.”
Dealing with the enemy, Danzo never showed mercy. He only cared about the results, not the process.
“Lord Hanzo, what about the civilians…” Scared by Hanzo’s ruthlessness, the Amegakure ninja carefully reminded.
Without speaking, Danzo just looked at his subordinates coldly, his eyes as intimidating as poisonous snakes.
“I want to let the ninjas of Amegakure get not even the slightest replenishment. Do you understand?” Emphasizing the tone, Danzo said seriously without any expression.
“Understood!” Pressed by Danzo’s momentum, the Amegakure ninja hurriedly answered in a low voice.
“Go down!”
Slightly easing the tone, Danzo looked back in the direction where the troops had left.
“The stage has been set for you; the rest depends on your performance!”
Just as Danzo was building a stage for Tsunade and the others to perform, Hanzo, who had already reached a ceasefire agreement with Gaara, was leading his subordinates back to the village.
After this battle with Gaara, Hanzo, who won and then lost, deeply realized the strength of the major nations.
The strength of the Five Great Countries was not because of one or two top powerhouses, but the overall strength.
From the overall combat quality of the ninjas, wartime logistical support, to the reserve of knowledge and technology, Amegakure was overall lagging behind.
In the entire Amegakure, besides himself, there was no other ninja who could stand alone.
This was the tragedy of a small country!
With a clearer understanding of the gap between Amegakure and the Five Great Nations, Hanzo couldn’t help but harbor a suspicion.
Could Amegakure really rise to become the sixth great country?
No, it definitely could. Under his leadership, Amegakure could surely become strong.
Suppressing his self-doubt, Danzo’s gaze became firm again.
“Speed up. Konoha ninjas may attack the village at any time.” Hanzo, who had already declared war on the Land of Fire, worried about the threat to the main camp and ordered in a cold voice.
“Yes!” The Amegakure ninjas behind Danzo answered in unison, their morale high.
Under Danzo’s leadership, they fought on par with Sunagakure, one of the Five Great Nations.
These Amegakure ninjas saw hope, hope for Amegakure to become the sixth great country!
Just as Hanzo led his subordinates in a forced march, dozens of kunai and shuriken flew from eight hundred meters away.
Then, a massive shockwave of flames surged out of the woods, heading towards Danzo’s location.
This jutsu was jointly cast by two ANBU ninjas, a combination of Wind Release and Fire Release.
“Water Release: Water Formation Wall!”
As a Water Release expert after the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, Hanzo had high achievements in Water Release.
Quickly forming seals, a water wall over three meters wide rose from the ground, directly blocking the surprise attack launched by Konoha ANBU ninjas.
With the attack missed, the ANBU ninjas, following Danzo’s orders, didn’t hesitate and directly retreated.
“Stop!” Sensing that the enemy had already retreated, Hanzo called back his subordinates who were preparing to pursue.
“Lord Hanzo!” An aide came to Hanzo’s side, waiting for the leader’s next orders.
“The enemy has already retreated. Everyone, be prepared for battle and speed up to reinforce the village.”
Hanzo speculated that the enemy’s identity was Konoha ninjas, worried about the safety of the village; he once again ordered to accelerate.
After giving the command, Hanzo didn’t waste any time and continued to lead the team to hurry.
“Goodbye, sensei!”
Lifting the travel bag back onto his shoulder with one hand and waving in the air with the other, Kizaru smiled and left after successfully persuading Hiruzen.
“Lord Hokage, should we inform Elder Danzo?” Standing behind Hiruzen, an elite Jonin of the Sarutobi clan, who was also a guard, proactively asked.
Looking helplessly at the disciple’s back, Hiruzen shook his head.
Take a deep breath of smoke, take the pipe out of his mouth, and Hiruzen smiled and said, “Let Danzo worry about it himself!”
If he couldn’t control his disciple, couldn’t he annoy an old friend a little?
After speaking, Hiruzen withdrew his gaze from Kizaru, who was gradually moving away.
“Nariya, after going back, let Shinnosuke make preparations!”
“What?” A puzzled question came from Sarutobi Nariya.
“The prison for detaining powerful individuals, and the ninjas on guard, prepare a few more sets.” Hiruzen said while smoking.
“Hokage, do you mean Kizaru…” His eyes widened, and Nariya reacted.
“Let Kizaru act alone, it’s like releasing a fierce tiger. There would definitely be gains.” With a positive tone, Hiruzen said with some expectation.
With Kizaru around, perhaps this old man’s term as Hokage can really accomplish something big!
