From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

But looking at what happened to Uchiha Obito before and after, it is inevitable to feel some sympathy for this pitiful and hateful person.

In general, the four words "a man of temperament" can be used to summarize Uchiha Obito.

He can love to the extreme, and hate to the point of destroying the world.

He's a very emotional guy.

It's just that my brain isn't working very well.

If you have the time to get the Moon Eye and even resurrect Uchiha Madara, why don’t you make arrangements earlier and resurrect Nohara Rin?

Why make it into this mess?

Thinking about these things in his mind, Diarmait also roughly calculated that the Battle of Kamnubi Bridge might break out soon.

Now the Hidden Cloud Village has closed down, and the Hidden Mist Village has also temporarily stopped operating.

The Sand Village is just a stinky little brother, so among the five major countries, the only ones who can fight are Konoha and the Iwagakure Village.

Both sides understand this truth, and the real final winner will be chosen from between the two of them.

The winner is the king, and the loser eats dust!

It was in such a context that the outbreak of the Battle of Kamnubi Bridge was both accidental and inevitable!

The beginning of all tragedies is about to come.

Diarmuid feels a little excited when he thinks about it now.

Chapter 493: Namikaze Minato appears, and Orochimaru successfully deals with the Raikage's body.

The Land of Fire. The Hidden Leaf Village.

In the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage was looking at the map on the table. He was surrounded by a large group of staff. One of them was particularly eye-catching. He was Minato Namikaze, who was now known as the "Yellow Flash".

He was wearing a Konoha ninja vest and had a warm smile on his face. At first glance, he looked like a very sunny, handsome and warm man.

Although he is feared by his enemies on the battlefield, Minato Namikaze is a slightly shy guy with a gentle personality in his daily life.

Although he was born into a common family, he had outstanding abilities and was a disciple of Jiraiya, so he was a member of the Hokage faction with a legitimate lineage.

Therefore, the members of the Hokage faction all have very good intentions towards him.

For example, Nara Shikaku, who was standing next to Minato Namikaze, looked very young at the time, but he was already the head of the Nara family, one of the powerful families in the ninja world.

Although the Nara clan is also a powerful family in the ninja world, it is far inferior to the Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga and other big clans.

But even so, these big clans did not dare to underestimate the Nara clan.

Because the Nara clan is very special, they have a long history of alliances.

They are the Akimichi clan and the Yamanaka clan, both second-tier powerful families in the ninja world. Although these three families are all second-tier powerful families, they have always had close relations, like a family, and the Nara clan is implicitly the leader.

Advance together and retreat together.

The names of the past dynasties can be seen in Feilu: Jiuqiwu;

! Durian 3, 2

Forty-one is called "Pig, Deer and Butterfly".

The three families joined the village of Konoha together. At the same time, under the leadership of the Nara clan, the three families have always been the backbone members of the Hokage faction of Konohagakure Village.

They have always adhered to one principle, which is to unwaveringly support the Hokage.

No matter who becomes Hokage, they will support him.

At the same time, they did not participate at all in the process of selecting Hokage, never expressed relevant opinions, and would not clearly express who they supported.

Only when you officially become Hokage will you gain the loyalty of these three families.

This is the belief that 'Hokage is supreme' that they uphold, and for this reason they are deeply trusted by all 790 Hokage of the past.

Nara Shikaku is currently the squad leader of the Jonin squad directly under the Hokage, and basically manages the regular Jonin in the village.

He is a staff officer and is considered one of Konoha's top leaders.

"Is there still no news about Orochimaru?" The Third Hokage looked at the map and suddenly said this.

More than half a month ago, Orochimaru suddenly disappeared from the village without notifying anyone and disappeared inexplicably.

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen very confused, but when he thought about the fact that his three disciples were almost the same, he felt helpless.

"No news." Mizutomon Yan said from the side.

He is a disciple of the Second Hokage, a contemporary of Sarutobi Hiruzen and a good friend of his, and is currently one of Konoha's high-ranking officials.

Similarly, there are Koharu Utatane and Danzo Shimura, but these two guys are not here.

"Day after day, when we need him, he disappears. The same goes for him, Jiraiya, and Tsunade-hime. ... I don't know why I thought all three of them were talented in the early years?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said somewhat unhappily.

I always feel that I misjudged the people back then and that my eyesight was not good, so I taught three incompetent guys.

"I think it's useless even if we find Orochimaru to come back." Nara Shikaku suddenly said.

After a brief pause, he continued, "After all, Orochimaru has already made it clear that he doesn't want to participate in these wars anymore."

As soon as Nara Shikaku finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became a little emotional and sad.

The Second Shinobi World War was so brutal that Tsunade's partner and brother were killed. Jiraiya is said to have accepted three disciples outside, but they all died in the war.

It is also because of this that Jiraiya and Tsunade hate war so much. As soon as the Second Shinobi World War ended, they left Konoha one after another and went out to wander around.

Although Orochimaru did not leave, he also made it clear that he did not want to participate in any war anymore.

Orochimaru thought it was a waste of time and it would be better to do more research and achieve immortality as soon as possible.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know this, and thought that Orochimaru was also a little discouraged because of what happened to his teammates before.

Speaking of which, Orochimaru has a very good relationship with Tsunade's younger brother. He basically watched Tsunade's younger brother grow up, so Tsunade left her younger brother to Orochimaru's care on the battlefield.

But because of his own negligence, Nawaki died in the battle. In fact, Orochimaru was indeed a little discouraged about the war.

And through Shengshu's death, he further felt the fragility of life... and became more determined in his beliefs.

The Third Hokage had a headache thinking that Orochimaru wouldn't be able to find anyone, and even if he did, he might not participate.

Although Konoha still maintains an advantageous position in the Third Ninja World War, it is actually under great pressure and has suffered considerable losses in the war.

The bottom line is that after the Second Shinobi World War, Konoha's leading figures encountered various problems.

The Three Lucky Stars ran away from home, and the famous White Fang was forced to commit suicide by rumors. These big guys who were so powerful in the Second Shinobi World War basically did not show up in the Third Shinobi World War.

It was almost as if Uchiha Kagami was able to come out to help, but he disappeared inexplicably in the Land of Rice, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen a little mentally broken.

I don’t have enough generals to entrust with important tasks!

Of course, this is for the Hokage faction. In fact, from the perspective of the entire Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen still has several outstanding figures.

The two brothers Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi, as well as the Senju clan who are currently in a semi-retired state, are actually all capable of being used.

But after the Second Shinobi World War, due to the situation in the village, the Senju clan felt that if they did not retreat, Konoha would take their family name, which went against the original intention of the first Hokage to establish the village, so the Senju clan began to seek transformation.

No longer confined to the ninja industry or the village of Konoha, they began to look at the entire Land of Fire. Currently, the Senju clan rarely participates in the affairs of the Hidden Leaf Village.

On the contrary, she has a very good relationship with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. You should know that Tsunade's title of "Princess" is a serious one, not a nickname.

She is the real Princess of the Fire Nation, canonized by the Daimyo of the Fire Nation!

Because of these relationships, the Senju clan has now shifted its focus to the political affairs of the Fire Nation and other related aspects, and no longer plays with the village.

This is also the reason why the Senju clan basically did not make any moves in Konoha. It was not because they were persecuted, but because they moved away on their own. (bccj)

Come to think of it, who in Konoha could possibly persecute the Senju clan? The Sarutobi clan or the Uchiha clan?

The Uchiha clan has its own problems, how can they afford to deal with the Senju clan? It's good enough that the Senju clan doesn't come to mess with them, right?

Although the Sarutobi family is also powerful, Sarutobi Hiruzen is ultimately a disciple of Senju Tobirama, and the Sarutobi clan has a very close relationship with the Senju clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's external personality is also a relatively gentle dove. If he messes with the Senju clan, it will damage his own image and seriously affect the political legacy he inherited from the second generation Hokage and the legality of his position as Hokage, so this is impossible.

What's more, if Konoha really persecuted the Senju clan, Tsunade would not have changed her mind later. If she agreed to become the Fifth Hokage out of softness, wouldn't that be crazy?

Therefore, the Senju family disappeared from Konoha not because of external reasons, but was their own internal decision.

The Senju clan retired, and the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan were the top wealthy families in Konoha. Unfortunately, these two families were so powerful that they would inevitably have their own selfish motives, which were different from the interests of the village and the Hokage. Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan to take action unless it was necessary.

This is understandable. They have made a contribution. As the village chief, you should reward them, right?

But they are a wealthy family in the ninja world, a major clan in Konoha, and ordinary rewards are of no use at all, so in the end it will evolve into a power struggle, which is not what Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to see.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, then it is not necessary. That is to say, Uchiha Kagami died on the front line, and Uchiha Fugaku and others were sent out. This can be regarded as an explanation to the Uchiha clan.

"Then do you have any good recommendations?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikaku smiled and said, "Of course, I recommend Master Jiraiya's disciple..."

"Minato?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Namikaze Minato, but saw that Namikaze Minato also looked a little confused.

Although he is called 'Namikaze Minato', most people who are close to him still call him 'Minato'. It has nothing to do with his surname or anything like that. It's just a nickname of affection.

"Kannabi Bridge is an important strategic location of the Iwagakure Village, and it is not very close to our Fire Country. Once we decide to launch an attack there, destroy the supply lines of the Iwagakure Village, and thus hit the logistics of the Iwagakure Village, it will inevitably be a surprise attack across a long front. For this kind of battle, the troops to be selected must be strong enough and have strong mobility. I think that the most suitable candidate in the village at the moment is actually Minato." Nara Shikaku said seriously.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "But Minato is still too young. I'm worried about his experience in this area..."

"But Lord Sandaime, you have no better choice, right?" Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice.

Indeed, it might be more appropriate if Orochimaru took action, but Orochimaru is unwilling to get involved, and now he can't be found, so there is nothing we can do.

Unless someone from the Hyuga family does it, but that... isn't quite appropriate.

Ultimately, war serves the interests of the people, both internally and externally.

For people like them, it means nothing if the war is won but the government is lost.

After much deliberation, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Minato, when you get down there, study the situation at Kannabi Bridge carefully and be prepared. If the fighting on the front lines gets intense, you will be responsible for leading the spearhead troops to resolve this issue!"

"Yes, Lord Sandaime!" Minato Namikaze responded quickly.

After arranging this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "Has Dai's pension been implemented? A meritorious official like him who has made significant contributions to the village must receive all the benefits he deserves. How's that little guy Kai doing lately? Is he feeling alright?"

Here, the people of Konoha started talking about internal issues again.

In the Land of Birds, Diarmuid was watching Orochimaru perform the spell attentively.

The body of the Sandaime Raikage lay there, and next to his body, there was a huge blank scroll.
