Chapter 223: Unfortunately, there is no if (4000)

As the smoke and dust gradually subsided, the countless buildings that should have existed in Konoha were all turned into dust, and only the Hokage Rock under his feet remained intact.

Teams of ninjas who had been waiting to start work near Konoha entered the ruins in an orderly manner and began to clear away the debris.

"Now that this matter is over, it's time for me to set off."

Senju Tobirama looked at the ruins in front of him with emotion.

He was assigned by Jiu Xing to go on a mission to visit another Konoha, but he originally didn't want to go.

But from Jiu Xing, we learned that the opponent's Fifth Hokage was actually Tsunade.

Then he is the most suitable candidate.

"Well, tell me if you need anything."

Jiu Xing spoke as he looked at the Second Hokage who had sacrificed himself for the younger generation of Konoha.

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

Senju Tobirama patted Jiu Xing's shoulder and was about to leave, but he found a small figure emerging from the bushes.

Jiu Xing also noticed the person coming and couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Kakashi, why are you here?"

Kakashi, who was less than seven years old, looked at Jiu Xing in front of him and said in a calm tone:
"I have been practicing here these days."

Jiu Xing's heart sank when he heard Kakashi's calm, almost indifferent words.

Ever since the Dragon Vein War ended, he had been helping Kaoru deal with a lot of things, and he was so busy that he had no time to visit Kakashi.

It seems like you know...

"Kakashi..."

Jiu Xing looked at Kakashi apologetically. Hatake Sakumo's soul had been polluted by Wu. Even if he was resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, he would be nothing more than a walking corpse.

This is what Kyuubi told him.

The soul of the person controlled by Wu, at that moment, has already transformed into the purest power to give back to the world.

Sometimes Jiuxing even wondered whether this might be the most correct reincarnation in this world before the Six Paths Sage created the Pure Land.

Born in this world, die in this world.

Kakashi glanced at Jiuxing without saying anything. When he was about to leave, Jiuxing suddenly called him.

"Kakashi!"

"Anything else?"

Kakashi looked at Jiu Xing with a little confusion.

"Are you interested in becoming his disciple?"

Jiu Xing pointed at Senju Tobirama beside him.

Kakashi: "???"

Senju Tobirama: "???"

"Don't be fooled by this guy's serious look, he's actually a tsundere, and he's very powerful."

Jiu Xing squatted in front of Kakashi and looked at Kakashi seriously.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to teach Kakashi, but what can Jiu Xing teach Kakashi?
It seems like there's nothing else except a Rasengan?

As for Xun, he now basically maintains a 996 working hour schedule and is so busy all day that he has no time to take on an apprentice.

Only Tobirama Senju seems to have nothing to do for the time being except for a mission to Konoha in the second parallel world.

Moreover, Tobirama Senju and Kakashi have a good compatibility.

Kakashi is good at using a sword because of Hatake Sakumo, and Senju Tobirama is able to integrate his sword skills into the Flying Thunder God Technique, so naturally his sword skills cannot be bad.

Moreover, Tobirama Senju is a master of water jutsu, so Kakashi has all five jutsu, so of course he has no shortage of water jutsu. And since Tobirama Senju is a master of jutsu, even if he is not good at the other four jutsu, he can still give Kakashi advice.

And, emmm...

Both of them have white hair.

"what?"

Senju Tobirama felt a little dissatisfied when he saw Jiu Xing in front of him pushing him to be a teacher to this little kid.

Forget about teaching Konoha's future, why do you say he is a tsundere?
"Besides, he is the Nidaime Hokage."

Jiu Xing touched Kakashi's head and said with a smile.

"Second-the Second Hokage?"

Kakashi's eyes widened.

As a member of the village, he naturally knew what kind of person the Second Hokage was.

But didn’t the second generation die a long time ago?

"Because of the last operation, our Nidaime was accidentally resurrected."

"I believe that as a person of the second generation, I believe that you will not refuse to teach my teacher's son, right?"

Hearing Jiu Xing say this, Senju Tobirama couldn't help but understand.

He had not been idle these past few days. He had asked around in the village about Jiu Xing, Xun, and Nao. In his opinion, these three were the backbone of Konoha's future.

In addition to Nao Hinata's rocket-like strength, the growth of Kaoru and Kyuuki is obvious to all.

And Uzumaki Kyuyuki’s growth naturally cannot be separated from one person.

Konoha White Fang Flag Ki Sakumo.

A ninja who died some time ago.

A powerful ninja who embodies the will of fire.

Senju Tobirama had no objection to teaching the future of Konoha, and now Kakashi was the orphan of a martyr and the son of Sensei Kyuuki, so naturally, Senju Tobirama would not refuse.

In his opinion, since his father is so outstanding, how could his son be a waste?

Senju Tobirama looked at the kid in front of him, who was less than seven years old, with scrutiny.

He has a lot of experience in teaching disciples.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Akimichi Tofu, Uchiha Kagami, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu were all his disciples.

He was also the first principal of Konoha Ninja School.

But Jiu Xing was talking about disciples, not students.

Disciples are the ones who inherit the mantle.

If Kakashi does not meet the requirements, Senju Tobirama might give him some guidance for a few days for Kyuuki's sake, but he will not waste his time on him.

"teacher!"

At this moment, Kakashi could see that Jiu Xing intended to make him a disciple of Senju Tobirama.

Being smart, he immediately climbed up the pole and called out "teacher".

"If you want to become my disciple, you can't just rely on someone's face."

Senju Tobirama glanced at Jiu Xing who was making a face at the side.

"I will have to leave Konoha for a few days. During this time, I will teach you a technique. If you can complete it successfully, you will be my disciple."

Senju Tobirama crossed his arms and looked at the little guy in front of him.

"Yes, it's very simple, just a C-rank ninjutsu!"

Jiu Xing quickly echoed from the side.

When Jiu Xing heard this, a "well" character popped up on Senju Tobirama's forehead.

Even though Kakashi is the son of Kyushu's teacher, he really doesn't treat himself as a human being.

He, Tobirama Senju, the fastest man in the ninja world, the god of water, and the master of forbidden techniques!
Is the only way to test the apprentice's qualifications a mere C-rank ninjutsu? !
Senju Tobirama stopped looking at the troublemaker next to him and turned to look at Kakashi who was looking expectant.

"There is a technique in the village called the Darkness Technique. Do you know it?"

Listening to Senju Tobirama's words, Kakashi looked at Jiu Xing blankly.

When Jiu Xing heard the other party's words, his face turned green.

Illusion: The art of walking in darkness.

One of the techniques studied by Tobirama Senju, specifically used to deal with the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.

It’s an A-level technique!
Let a child under seven years old learn A-level techniques? !

"Go and learn this technique, and I'll check your learning results when I come back."

"If you meet my expectations, you will be my seventh disciple."

Senju Tobirama's next words made Jiu Xing breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this guy was not so crazy as to let a seven-year-old child complete the practice of A-level techniques. "Yes!"

"Tobirama-sama!"

Kakashi said enthusiastically.

Jiu Xing looked at Kakashi in front of him, and a hint of tenderness flashed across his eyes.

Perhaps for Kakashi, working hard to improve his strength is the greatest significance to him now.

This way he would not disappoint Hatake Sakumo's expectations of him.

"If you want to go to the dark side, go find this guy next to you. I have something else to do now."

"It will probably be back in three days at the fastest, or seven days at the slowest."

"I hope you can give me a surprise then, Kakashi."

Senju Tobirama looked at the little guy in front of him and spoke.

"Yes!"

—

Looking at Kakashi's back as he left with the scroll, Xun rubbed his eyebrows and sat down in the makeshift tent.

There is so much going on right now.

To prevent attacks from the three countries of wind, earth, and thunder, ninjas were deployed to guard the borders.

Konoha reconstruction plan, arrange various construction ninjas.

Various funds are allocated to the following projects, and heavy troops are deployed to guard the dragon veins.

There are also negotiations with Konoha in the second parallel universe.

Each and every one of these items needs her review.

Although Kyuuki, Jiraiya, Hyakuzu, and Senju Tobirama can all help her, she still needs to read and approve each word.

Fortunately, the three countries of Fengtu Lei are currently behaving law-abidingly and have not put too much effort into their work.

Just as Xun leaned back in the chair, closed her eyes and enjoyed this hard-earned rest, a pair of hands pressed on her shoulders and kneaded them gently.

"Do you need me to do anything?"

Jiu Xing gently rubbed Xun's shoulders and spoke.

"Jiu Xing has helped me a lot."

"What's happening now can be considered a test for me as the Hokage."

"Once I'm done with my recent work, I'll be able to relax a lot more."

Xun closed his eyes and placed his hand on Jiuxing's.

The atmosphere in the air seemed exceptionally quiet.

"Master Kaoru!"

A ninja rushed in and saw this scene as soon as he entered the tent.

"Um, did I come at the wrong time?"

The ninja was a little embarrassed to speak.

Everyone in the village knows that Lord Xun has always been in love with Lord Jiuxing.

Will he be bullied in the future if he walks in so rashly and sees this scene?
"No, you came... Uh, never mind. What's going on?"

Xun hesitated for a moment, then held his forehead and asked helplessly.

"The Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water requests a meeting."

Karuji Yagura?

Xun frowned slightly.

To be honest, the Water Kingdom is the easiest to deal with right now compared to the other three kingdoms of Wind, Earth and Thunder.

Moreover, this Karuju Yagura is also a smart man. I hope he can recognize the situation.

Konoha is the only dominant force in the ninja world now. With the wisdom of Yagura Karuta, he will definitely be able to see the future of the ninja world.

Xun waved his hand and said:

"Let him come."

"Yes."

Seeing this, the ninja immediately fled as if he had been pardoned.

Xun angrily slapped Jiu Xing's paw on his shoulder and said:
"Go sit down."

"Hi, hi, hi, my Yondaime-sama."

Seeing Jiu Xing's frivolous look, Xun curled his lips and sat in the main seat waiting for Karatachi Yagura to arrive.

In less than five minutes, a short figure walked into the tent.

The silver-gray-haired Karuichi Yagura looked at the girl sitting in the main seat, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

The first time he met this girl named Namikaze Kaoru was at a meeting convened by Sarutobi Hiruzen because of the death of the envoy sent by the Rain Country to Konoha.

At that time, he never imagined that this girl would be the future Fourth Hokage.

Not Hatake Sakumo, not Orochimaru, not Tsunade, not any of the three ninjas.

It's just this underage girl.

I didn't expect that so many things happened in the ninja world in just less than a year.

He made his mark in the Third Ninja World War, and afterwards wiped out the core forces of Dawn in a single battle, thereby ascending to the position of Hokage.

"Meet the Yondaime Hokage."

Karujutsu Yagura nodded slightly, then glanced at Uzumaki Kyuyuki who was sitting next to him without saying a word.

Even though she has not yet truly taken the position of Hokage, Kaoru already holds the real power at this moment. No one can say a word against her becoming Hokage.

"How's the Mizukage these days?"

Xun said with a formal smile.

"It's been fine lately."

Karagi Yagura nodded, exhaled a breath of foul air, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he spoke resolutely:

"What are the plans for the future Hokage?"

Hearing such straightforward words from Karutagi Yagura, Jiu Xing on the side raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the Fourth Mizukage without saying much.

Just as Jiu Xing expected, Yagura Karitachi was able to let go of his hatred, and the first thing he did after taking office was to offer a large amount of resources and money to pray for Konoha's protection. At this moment, he made the most correct decision at the first moment.

Sacrifice the rook to save the king, cut off the arm to survive.

"What does Mizukage mean?"

Xun couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction in his eyes. It would be great if he could take over the Water Kingdom without bloodshed.

At the same time, she doesn't have to bear the stigma of attacking her allies.

"Hokage, you are joking. The current situation in the ninja world is clear as day. I hope the Hokage can treat the former Kirigakure well."

A bitter smile appeared on Karuji Yagura's lips.

His role as Mizukage was so frustrating and unlucky.

The first thing he did after taking office was to clean up the mess of the third Mizukage. Then he encountered the Third Ninja World War. He, who was nominally on par with the Hokage, was pulled in by Sarutobi Hiruzen to stop the third Tsuchikage.

Then they finally took a break and planned to develop themselves, but the next moment Konoha destroyed the core link of Dawn.

And according to the reports from spies, in addition to Uzumaki Kyuyuki, Konoha has at least two or three more fighters of the same level.

One Uzumaki Kyuuki could easily destroy the Hidden Mist Village, let alone two or three.

With such combat power, there will be no rivals in the ninja world.

Under the cover of the nest, there is no complete egg.

The war to unify the ninja world will begin sooner or later.

At that time, the value of surrendering to Konoha was not as high as it is now. Compared with this, it was better to be a loyal subject.

Although it is criticized that the dignified Fourth Mizukage became a vassal of others.

But this is indeed the most effective way to preserve the Hidden Mist Village.

If there were any other way, Karatachi Yagura would not want to be restricted by the Hokage.

It's a pity no.
