Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Hokage's Candidate
Although the Rampaging Tsunade was forcibly taken away by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But in order to extinguish Tsunade's anger, Hiruzen had to send the Anbu to search for the person who deceived Tsunade.
Moreover, Tsunade, who had not participated in the village's affairs for many years, personally joined the personnel investigation, and seemed to want to find Chika herself.
However, after three days of investigation, there was no result, and it is still unknown whether the other party is a man or a woman.
The main reason is that Tsunade's investigation direction was wrong, which was also misled by Chika's throwing the blood at her.
After all, few people know that Tsunade has hemophobia, and the top leaders of Konoha will not deliberately publicize this matter.
If you look for it under this condition, it would be like a ghost to find it.
However, Tsunade has not given up. It is said that she is currently going to Konoha's major casinos at public expense, hoping to meet Chika again.
Of course, it is hard to say whether Tsunade is going to investigate or gamble.
This matter caused a lot of noise. After all, in Konoha Village, it is the first time that someone dares to provoke Tsunade.
But soon the headlines were flooded with official news.
During his mission, the ninja Namikaze Minato of Konohagakure was assassinated by the Sand Ninja, the Mist Ninja, and the Rock Ninja.
With the help of his two teammates, Namikaze Minato killed three Sand Ninjas in a row, and after defeating the Sand Ninja, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to kill the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Jinpachi Munashi and Kushimaru Kuriarare, and finally escaped the encirclement of the three blasting teams of the Land of the Earth.
For a time, Namikaze Minato's reputation spread throughout the streets and alleys of Konohagakure.
"Is this the true strength of Minato-Kun? So amazing!"
"Flying Thunder God Technique, when I complete another S-level mission, I will also exchange this forbidden technique!"
"By the way, didn't you say there were two more teammates? Who are they?"
"I guess they were dragging his feet, so they didn't mention their names, otherwise Minato-Kun could have dealt with the Rock Ninjas pursuing behind!"
"Well, you make sense!"
The news quickly spread to the ninja world.
After receiving this news, the Land of the Wind immediately issued a notice, and the spokesperson was still the old woman Chiyo.
Chiyo first denied that she had sent the Red Sand Sasori to attack the Konoha Ninja. The reason for his appearance in the River Country was that he happened to be on a mission and happened to meet the Konoha Ninja.
At the same time, she accused the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen of being cunning and scheming.
Knowing that the Wind Country and the Konoha White Fang had a deadly feud in World War II, they actually sent Konoha White Fang's only son, Hatake Kakashi, to the River Country to carry out the mission.
She had reason to suspect that Sarutobi Hiruzen sent Hatake Kakashi because he knew that Sasori was on a mission in the River Country.
He just wanted to use her grandson's revenge to eradicate the new generation of Konoha genius Hatake Kakashi, so that his unpromising son could take the position.
And what's wrong with her grandson, Sasori, who his father and mother died in the hands of the white fang, and the hatred is irreconcilable!
Is it too much to kill Hatake Kakashi?
Not too much!
Poor her beloved grandson, who lost his parents at a young age, and could only fall asleep at night holding his parents' puppets.
Such a lonely and helpless person has to suffer the calculations of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen is simply not a human being!
Chiyo stood on the stage, crying and complaining, with tears in her eyes, and she made a lot of nonsense.
For a while, the ninjas of the Wind Country were united in hatred of the enemy. If the Third Kazekage had not spoken, they would have been ready to start a war with Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly thought that Chiyo, the old woman, had good means. While denying that she sent ninjas to assassinate, she also wanted to split the relationship between him and Sakumo.
Since the Third Kazekage did not make a statement, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not need to go on stage to refute.
After all, shadow against shadow.
At this time, Hatake Sakumo, who had been on a mission from a long way away, rushed back in a dusty state.
As soon as he came on stage, he said, "If Sasori of the Red Sand wants revenge, no problem, I'll be waiting in Konoha, but please bring all your relatives with you!"
Chiyo, who was already grieving because her beloved grandson had lost his arm, was so angry at Hatake Sakumo's domineering declaration that she almost died early.
If Ebizo hadn't stopped her and said that the two of them together were not enough for Hatake Sakumo to chop, she would have rushed to Konoha for revenge.
Just as the two sides were arguing, the third generation Mizukage of the Land of Water was also confused. He was still waiting for the wielders of the Nuibari(sewing needle) sword and Shibuki(blast word) sword to return with his prized Sharingan, but he didn't expect to hear the news of their death.
It was from the official news of Konoha.
After secretly cursing the two of them for being useless, he also hurriedly released the news.
Shinobi Munashi and Kuriarare, two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Land of Water, suffered from depression due to years of accepting missions and working day and night.
The third generation Mizukage couldn't bear it, so he specially approved the two to travel to the Land of Rivers to relax, but they were assassinated by Konoha ninjas.
He also said that as long as the two ninja swords were returned and 50 million Ryo was paid as compensation, the Land of Water would forgive the past.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that he almost went to the Land of Water to have a fight with the Third Mizukage.
The three parties argued for several days, but did not get the expected result.
But Konoha was not in a hurry. Although the Land of Wind and the Land of Water seemed to be cursing happily, they did not take any actual action.
Judging from the speeches, neither country wanted to admit that they had torn up the peace agreement.
This shows that the two countries are not ready to go to war, so it is just a matter of talking.
All the people in the Land of Wind died, and no important items were left behind. After a few words, the quarrel died.
But the Land of Water was different. Their two swords were still in the hands of Konoha. Seeing that talking was useless, they could only secretly send people to Konoha to redeem the two ninja swords.
Chika's house.
"I heard that you have been at home these days, so I came to see you."
Uchiha Fugaku sat opposite him, and his originally strong body looked a little thin.
It seems that he has been clapping in love with Sister Mikoto recently.
he don't know which clapping will combine Uchiha Itachi.
"the village has been in turmoil these days, so I plan to avoid it for now!"
He explained.
Because Namikaze Minato's record was too brilliant, the two teammates were also found out by those who were interested.
As soon as Chika went out, someone would ask about the whole story of the battle.
In this regard, Chika, who was annoyed, could only hide at home for a few days and wait for the storm to pass.
Fugaku got to the point and said bluntly: "Speaking of this, I came here for this matter."
"Ah, is the clan leader also so gossipy? There is nothing to say about this matter, just as the rumor said."
"So, what do you think of Minato?"
Chika glanced at Fugaku, and seeing that he had a serious face, he probably had a guess in his heart.
He probably wanted to use him to assess Minato's true strength.
Perhaps his answer would determine how much power the Uchiha clan should bet on Minato.
He thought for a moment and replied softly, "The Hokage's Candidate."
