Chapter 129 Shisui's Cause of Death Revealed [Sixth Update]
Given Tobirama Senju's personality, how could he possibly decide to choose one on the battlefield at the last minute, just to take a chance?
It might be possible if it were Hashirama Senju, but it's absolutely impossible for Tobirama Senju!
So he's playing you, Danzo!
Given Tobirama Senju's personality, he must have already thoroughly assessed the abilities and personalities of his disciples on a regular basis. His temporary appointment was merely a way to give him a reason to be accepted by the others.
In this situation, how could Hiruzen Sarutobi, who hastily returned to the village following the dying man's orders, and hastily announced that he had become the Third Hokage, possibly convince the villagers?
In terms of both strength and prestige, Hiruzen Sarutobi was far behind at that time.
In terms of strength, he is far from being a Kage-level ninja. At best, he is similar to the three legendary ninjas from the time when they fought Hanzo. They are all top-tier elite Jonin, but they have not yet reached the Kage level.
If he had Kage-level strength, he wouldn't have needed to flee in such a hurry if he had teamed up with Tobirama Senju.
This is the situation Kakashi Hatake is currently facing. If Kakashi Hatake had the strength of a Kage, given his age as the Third Hokage, he wouldn't need to consider anything else, nor would he need to force himself to wait for his two students. He could have directly made Kakashi Hatake the Fifth Hokage.
When their own strength was insufficient to command respect, teammates from the same squad were successively promoted to higher positions in Konoha, thus creating a situation where the Konoha Advisory Group held enormous power.
This situation directly relates to the fact that Shimura Danzo was able to do whatever he wanted, and even dared to assassinate the Hokage.
Even when Hiruzen Sarutobi was still alive, he could only temporarily suppress the advisory group thanks to his prestige accumulated over the years.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade Senju, who took over, was able to deeply feel the constraints from the advisory group, and there were even many conflicts between the two sides.
The advisory group believes that since they even elected the Hokage, it's reasonable for them to have some privileges.
However, Tsunade is not one to swallow her anger, and the conflict between the two sides was on the verge of erupting.
By then, Danzo will still reach out, meaning he may only have six months left.
No, it might not even be half a year. Based on his understanding of Danzo, once he sets his sights on him, he will definitely not let it go. Even with the Third Hokage's strict supervision, he still has ways to cause trouble for him.
It's just that we can't use our overt power anymore.
Therefore, he must gain the power to protect himself before Shimura Danzo can cause trouble, for example, to go a step further and reach the Kage level!
He was currently clueless, but he had almost methodically grown in mental and physical strength to the level of an elite Jonin.
The transformation he underwent in just a few months was equivalent to the training results of an ordinary elite Jonin over ten or even twenty or thirty years, and even far exceeded those of an ordinary elite Jonin. His chakra level had steadily entered the Kage level.
However, he is still just one line away from being a Kage-level actor, and that line may be an eternal gap.
For example, Kakashi Hatake is almost thirty years old now and is still stuck at the elite Jonin level, but he reached that level more than ten years ago, yet he still hasn't reached the Kage level.
His father, Hatake Sakumo, was already known as the White Fang of Konoha at his age.
Other powerful ninjas, including the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze and the legendary Sannin of Konoha, also experienced periods of lingering at the elite Jonin level. However, they all quickly found different ways to break through to the Kage level.
In other words, there are various methods to break through to the Kage level in the ninja world, but the further you go, the more monotonous it becomes, and the more you have to rely on the power bestowed by the Otsutsuki bloodline.
How to develop the power from the Otsutsuki bloodline became the key to breaking through from Kage level to Super Kage level.
However, for Kitahara Kaede at present, breaking through to the Kage level is still the most difficult thing.
The most likely solution is simply to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Driven by the Mangekyou Sharingan, he naturally possessed Kage-level combat power.
However, the price he would absolutely not be willing to pay was to sacrifice his closest relatives in order to stimulate his spirit and evolve into the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Kitahara Kaede was somewhat lucky. His process of awakening the Sharingan was very smooth, much simpler than that of Uchiha Sasuke or Uchiha Obito. Perhaps the standard Uchiha bloodline he fused with was different, and he might be able to break through to the Mangekyou Sharingan at a lower cost.
However, when he thought of the Flying Thunder God Technique that he had just mastered, he felt at ease. Even though he was not yet able to fight against a Kage-level powerhouse, with the Flying Thunder God Technique in hand, no one could stop him from going.
Unless he encounters Obito Uchiha, who also possesses space-time ninjutsu abilities, he can basically leave whenever he wants.
However, such worries only lingered in Kitahara Kaede's mind for a moment before he quickly shook them off. Enjoying a barbecue with his teacher and teammates was a rare treat, and Kitahara Kaede didn't want to think too much about the next few months.
"But I didn't expect everyone to have grown so much after so long," Akimoto Akai said with emotion.
"That's because we've all grown up!"
Xiang Tianyuanlong chuckled and said.
Akimoto Akai nodded. It felt like such a long time had passed in just three years.
Three years ago, when the three boys and girls were first assigned to his subordinates, they were still very inexperienced. However, three years later, Kitahara Kaede has already reached the same position as him back then.
Although Chunin are divided into elite Chunin and ordinary Chunin, they are all Chunin in terms of rank.
Unlike Jonin, who have clearly defined job positions!
Although the other two disciples are still genin in rank, their strength is definitely at the level of elite chunin. Such a rate of progress is nothing short of rapid.
Even faster is Kitahara Kaede. His official rank is Chunin, but in terms of combat strength, he's probably no better than an elite Jonin.
The speed of progress is as fast as a rocket!
He had only let go for a short time, and it even made him wonder if he had delayed these talented disciples.
"You guys should have registered for the Chunin Exams, right?" Akai Akimoto said, but he looked at Kitahara Kaede.
Because the Chunin Exams in Konoha are based on a recommendation system, generally a recommendation from the Chunin or Jonin leading the team is required.
"When the time comes, I will recommend them. With their current abilities, they should have no problem passing the Chunin exam."
"Kitahara Kaede said."
Historically, only Nara Shikamaru received an upgrade, making him the only lucky one in the entire event.
But this time might be different!
However, even if you miss this promotion, there will be another opportunity in six months.
The Chunin Exams are held every six months; otherwise, the number of Chunin would not be replenished sufficiently.
Akai Akimoto nodded in satisfaction. It was his first time leading a Chunin team, and he was very pleased to see that his students were all very promising.
"Then I wish you all the best in your exams in advance," said Akimoto Akai, raising his glass.
Although they are both in Konoha and it wouldn't be difficult to see each other again, they are not in the same team and are often busy with their own things. Unless it is intentional, it is normal for them not to see each other for a long time.
The gathering lasted until late at night before finally dispersing.
Kitahara Kaede returned home and, after washing up, was almost sober. The alcohol in the Naruto world was Japanese sake, which was nothing to Kitahara Kaede.
I went to my desk, took out my diary, and began writing in my diary for today.
[This Danzo is like a persistent ghost. I never expected that he would dare to try to lure me to the Root base in the village under the guise of the Anbu. But he probably didn't expect that I knew about the existence of Root all along, and I also knew who he was. How could I possibly go there to die?]
I am not Uchiha Shisui. Uchiha Shisui was too naive to believe Danzo and even told Danzo the secret of his Mangekyou Sharingan, Kotoamatsukami, which can modify people's will.
He thought that such open and honest communication would gain the complete trust of the Konoha leadership, and he was even willing to use Kotoamatsukami to modify the will of the Uchiha radicals for the sake of the Konoha leadership. However, such a dangerous thing was already beyond Danzo's tolerance.
I'd be nervous too. Who wouldn't be afraid of someone whose will can be changed silently? It's terrifying to have your will altered without your knowledge or awareness!
Such a secret should be known only to oneself and taken to the grave!
Naïve people are prone to making mistakes, while decisive people often fail.
Kitahara Kaede's diary has been updated, and it immediately alarmed the diary's holders.
Inside the ancestral home of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke Uchiha, wielding the dazzling Chidori, pierced through a nearby stone pillar in an instant.
There are several holes in this stone pier, as if it had been pierced by some terrifying force.
This was caused by Sasuke Uchiha's use of Chidori throughout the day.
After releasing the last Chidori, Uchiha Sasuke lay on the ground, panting heavily, the moonlight shining on his face revealing an extremely tired expression.
At this point, his chakra was almost completely depleted. In his recent training, he had been squeezing out all his potential as much as possible every day.
For the past month, his life has returned to a simple, boring, and monotonous routine.
The missions are mostly D-rank missions, with occasional C-rank missions, but that's about the limit. Even the C-rank missions don't go very far from Konoha anymore.
Newly graduated ninjas are usually assigned such tasks, which involve exploiting these recent graduates as laborers to contribute to the village's development. After all, they are fresh graduates and are treated like cattle and horses wherever they are.
On the other hand, this process also allows the Chunin and Jonin leading the team enough time to teach these rookies some common sense about the ninja world, as well as some basic training.
