"..."
Mitokado Homura's gaze was lost on a blind man.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, from beginning to end, didn't even glance at him, his eyes never leaving the youthful figure of Shimura Danzo.
How old are you already? he thought to himself, shaking his head.
"I…"
Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's complex gaze, the unwillingness and anger in Shimura Danzo's heart quietly shifted at this moment. He turned his face away, not meeting the other's eyes, and looked at the child version of Senju Tobirama, saying in a calm tone:
"I committed suicide."
Awesome.
I can only say awesome.
Suicide by Chidori through the chest and then incinerated by Fire Release, huh? That's even more outrageous than suicide with eight bullets in the back.
Lin Ke was stunned. He didn't expect Danzo to actually say that.
Utatane Koharu took half a step forward, but was pulled back by Mitokado Homura.
Senju Tobirama glanced sideways at the current Hokage. If he were a deceased, he would still have the face to make decisions, after all, he held the power. Now that he had lost his power, it didn't matter what he said in front of his former subordinates. The real decision-making power should be left to the current Hokage.
"Danzo," Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that his old friend was shouldering all the responsibility, not planning to dwell on his death.
He was silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone's eyes, and said, "I understand."
The matter of Shimura Danzo's death was settled.
The person himself came out and said he committed suicide, who else would dare to object?
Senju Tobirama nodded and said, "If there are no accidents, there may be a batch of Uchiha clan descendants returning to the village next."
"?!" X4 Could this reincarnation be mass-produced? X4 The Konoha F4's brains pieced together in an instant, and they all looked at the instigator.
"Hehe."
Lin Ke gave a shy smile.
"From today on, I am not the Second Hokage," Senju Tobirama said.
The matter of reincarnation must not be exposed, otherwise the ninja world war might break out.
The other villages could never tolerate Konoha Village possessing a technique and ninjas that completely trampled on the taboo of life and death.
So the news could only be known among the four, no, three people at the top. When Jiraiya and Tsunade returned, they would barely be qualified to know. Others were completely out of the question.
What ninja clans, elite Jonin, it was hard to say. If there was a spy, Konoha Village would be in big trouble.
Even if it was exposed, it would have to be a few months later, when he could Impure World Reincarnation his brother and have Lin Ke contact the strongest combat power.
As a ninja who had experienced the Warring States Period, Senju Tobirama completely distrusted others. When he was alive, he had the Anbu monitor the ninja clans in the village, and he had equally planned how to target each ninja clan, not just the Uchiha.
Ninjas possessed all kinds of bizarre control skills, and information was safest in one's own head.
The three subordinates were solid high-level officials who could be trusted after the passage of time. In his eyes, others were only two types of people: those suspected of causing trouble, and those who hadn't started causing trouble yet.
"Understood." X4 Shimura Danzo and the three beside him finished speaking together, and then somewhat trance (htrance) realized that he was already dead.
Even if there was the ability to reincarnate, given Lin Ke's relationship with Uchiha Sasuke, it was unlikely to be his turn.
But, so what? The power to change The World is in his hands, and the village will surely be carried forward in his hands. Even if I don't reincarnate, guarding the future of the village as a deceased is the same.
He smiled calmly, finally able to face Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze.
Perhaps I can't win against you in life, but in the love for the village, I won't lose to you, Sarutobi.
"Tap."
Senju Tobirama jumped off the table, his small face showing a hint of a smile, and said, "Sarutobi, the village will have to rely on you again next."
With that, he left with light steps.
"..."
The Third Hokage was originally immersed in the complex emotions of seeing his young old friends again, but upon hearing those familiar words, he felt his body begin to wail, his mind constantly resisting.
He had finally gotten a few days of rest, and now his vacation was gone again? His planned retirement life was directly ruined.
No, no matter what, I have to call Jiraiya back. I'll send a few more letters, saying I'm about to die!
He made up his mind. What a joke! It was fine when you guys were wandering around outside, gathering information, traveling, and such, but now the village is on the verge of taking off.
If Lin Ke reincarnated more ninjas from the village's past, he couldn't imagine how powerful the village could become.
At this moment, as a dove, he felt a surge of ambition in his heart. Could the future Konoha Village become the strongest village in the ninja world? The village will definitely unify the ninja world!
Shimura Danzo was even more excited. Having personally witnessed the power of the First Hokage and Second Hokage, he couldn't imagine how invincible the young versions of the First and Second would be in the current ninja world.
Even Uchiha Madara wouldn't be a problem! "Cough~"
Lin Ke looked at the burning gazes of the three old geezers and the dead man, and coughed lightly, saying, "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first?"
He thought for a moment and quickly added, "I have something to discuss with Shizune."
Jugo, Karin, Tezuru, and Utakata were still waiting for him on the street. They had all entered the village based on his guarantee. Jugo's size had already attracted a lot of attention, especially after a group of small birds fearlessly landed on the big guy, which attracted the attention of many children.
Even with Utakata watching, if Jugo suddenly went berserk, the problem would probably be significant.
A Sage Body with a height of about six meters has an accelerated rate of absorbing Natural Energy, and both strength and speed experience qualitative leaps. Relying solely on terrifying physical qualities and the casual abuse of Natural Energy, one can instantly kill ordinary Jonin.
With super-speed regeneration and a physique that can be described as having copper skin and iron bones under the blessing of Natural Energy, apart from Lin Ke and Might Guy, basically no one can directly defeat him in Taijutsu combat.
If the bloodthirsty inner personality comes out, even elite Jonin with slightly weaker lethality might be overturned, especially those like Momochi Zabuza who rely on slashing with small knives.
Utakata can only suppress Jugo when he opens half of his Tailed Beast transformation. In some respects, this guy is already a relatively weak Kage-level ninja.
Sasuke was still in a somewhat awkward state and didn't follow them into the village, waiting outside. Otherwise, the Mangekyo would be the best thing to control him. However, judging from the Konoha F4's performance, Sasuke should be able to come back, right?
"Go, go." X4 The smiles on the faces of the three old geezers were very strange, and Danzo even had an expression of having finally met a wise lord after a life of wandering.
Lin Ke's back muscles tightened, and then he pretended to suddenly realize, "Oh, right, I saw Sasuke outside the village. He should be able to come back later, right?"
"Of course, there's no problem." Shimura Danzo's expression was very natural, without the slightest bit of abnormality.
"Well, then, excuse me. I'll bring Sasuke over to see the Third Hokage later."
After Lin Ke finished speaking, he used the Body Flicker Technique to leave. It wasn't that he couldn't understand their emotions, but standing from the perspective of being stared at, he felt very strange no matter what.
