Capítulo 61: [61] "Minato Namikaze's friend"
[One week later, Konoha]
A long time has passed since the end of the Third Ninja World War, and all of Konoha was less injured in the war.
At this time, naturally, it had long since returned to its previous calm.
The whole town was friendly and warm, with laughter and town criers omnipresent.
But compared to the happiness and carefree mood of most of the people in the village, Sarutobi in the Hokage's office was still in a state of sadness and headaches.
Since the Second Hokage died during the Second Ninja World War, Hiruzen has been serving as Hokage for more than ten years.
But it must be said that the Hokage for more than ten years has not made him feel as tired as last year.
In the whole ninja world in this short year, Hiruzen almost felt that he did not know him one bit.
The mysterious organization that suddenly appeared revealed "the truth of this world" and let him know that the ninja world seems to be only the tip of the iceberg in this world.
Countless previously unknown powerful fortresses are intertwined, each with incredible strength.
Especially not long ago, Hiruzen received another report from the root organization.
The source of the news is unclear and there is no specific explanation about the information, but Hiruzen did not ask much.
As Hokage for many years, he is of course aware of the existence of the "root" of the dark side of the village, as well as the means by which Konoha hides in other countries.
This is something that cannot be avoided: as a great ninja village, Konoha cannot avoid these dark means of survival.
Therefore, Hiruzen has already had a tacit understanding with Danzo and will not interfere with the internal affairs of "Root," but Danzo must also report all the important things he knows to the village heirs.
The key is that the content of the news is really too important.
Having been famous for many years, it has been confirmed that Hanzō of Salamander, the leader of the Rain Village, known as the pinnacle of the ninja world, was assassinated, along with a large number of elite ninja of the village.
And it was a man named "Kaido" who killed them.
According to the root organization's information, Kaido is one of the "Four Sea Emperors" of Grand Line, who is hostile to the world government, mentioned by the spiritual king who had glimpsed the three Ninja villages before.
"The human appearance is that of a huge man with a height of over 6 meters. There is a tattoo of dragon scales on the left arm. The body is suspected to be a dragon."
"Strong strength, killed Hanzo with one move. And it seems he also has his own power in Grand Line, and also has subordinates known as the three great pests."
As usual, the news about Kaido is new and unknown to Hiruzen.
It is suspected that the main body is a dragon, which can transform into a human and has the power to kill Hanzō of the Salamander in one blow.
Choosing a random option was unimaginable for Hiruzen two years ago.
But now, Hiruzen was surprised to find that he had gradually become accustomed to it.
Instead of being surprised, he could even enter a state of thinking very quickly.
"It only takes one move to kill Hanzō..."
Hiruzen was stunned in his heart.
Hanzō, as a person who was already at the peak of the Second Ninja World War, is also very clear about his strength.
His overall strength is worthy of the name of the demigods in their heyday and he belongs to the strongest group of ninja in the era after Madara and Hashirama.
Even if the opponent's strength has begun to wane, he is definitely a real Kage level.
In Kaido's hands, the opponent didn't seem to survive even a single blow.
"However... even Enel, who previously had a careless style, abandoned his mission because of him, which is enough to show the strength of these Four Emperors."
Hiruzen muttered under his breath.
Of course, he knew that the most important of all the news was actually about the identity of the other party.
"Is it a dragon?"
A height of over six meters in this world is obviously exaggerated to the extreme and abnormal. With Kaido's dragon form, Hiruzen also naturally considers Kaido's body as a dragon.
And when it comes to this, Hiruzen naturally has an idea.
His three disciples, "Jiraiya 'Tsunade'" and "Orochimaru" the Konaha Sannin, were very successful, so they all received the inheritance of the three immortal lands.
According to Orochimaru, the master of Ryūchi Cave, one of the three great fairy lands, its leader is a large white-scaled snake known as the "White Snake Sage."
And from the name of the immortal land "Dragon Land Cave", it can be seen that the purpose of this immortal white snake has always been to transform into a real dragon through practice.
Then Hiruzen made a bold guess.
It is likely that Kaido is similar to the White Snake Sage, the body is a dragon and it is likely that the human form is the result of some kind of Ninjutsu or Genjutsu.
After making this assumption, Hiruzen also decisively gave Orochimaru the task of going to the Ryūchi Cave and asking the White Snake.
After that, Jiraiya and Tsunade also took the initiative to apply to go to Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest, they also wanted to learn about those mysterious forces from the mouth of sacred places.
And so far, the three of them have not been attacked by Konoha.
"Hopefully they bring useful news.
Hiruzen's tired eyes looked through the window towards the village outside the window.
"But... maybe it's time for me to abdicate and become a sage."
He muttered softly to himself.
In fact, this is also a plan that he has already had a gap in for a long time: as he grows older, his energy has been somewhat unable to keep up.
And the major changes that have occurred in the ninja world in recent times have heightened his intention to take the Hokage's position.
He has even listed in his mind two candidates for the next Hokage, but has yet to make a decision.
But it was when he was thinking about it....
"Lord Hokage!"
Entered the ninja guard who had been stationed outside the office.
"Sir Minato is welcome and expects to see you immediately."
"Minato?"
After hearing the ninja guard's words, Hiruzen was also stunned and rarely showed an expression of astonishment.
"Didn't he go on a mission to investigate the Land of Rain? Why..."
He had heard the news of Hanzo's death earlier, and since the Sannin was not in the village, he sent Minato to the Land of Rain to confirm the situation.
After all, since this matter is related to one of the mysterious Four Emperors, it must be led by a Kage level powerhouse like Minato.
But I didn't expect Minato to come now.
And from the perspective of time, even at Minato's speed, it is impossible to complete the investigation in such a short time.
In other words... Minato must have abandoned the mission and returned straight back to the village
"Has he encountered an enemy? Was he injured? Or is there some other emergency?"
Hiruzen suddenly became serious, with Minato's character, unless there is extremely critical information, it is absolutely impossible to voluntarily abandon the mission.
"No, Minato-sama was not injured... and he brought three friends with him.
"Friend?"
"Yes, they're just downstairs, according to their names, one of them seems to be named.... Zenitsu Agatsuma?"
