20 The End of First Ninja War

It's been 2 months since I started going to academy, it was boring classes of history and basic ninja tactics what makes me even more surprised is that there is a Will of Fire Lecture per week, really an efficient way Grandfather although you don't give a damn about it but you force others but in a way this is also necessary so that It can give birth to new leaves or whatever it was.

Our village in currently involved in a War that would be known as First Shinobi War in the near future, but recently there have been rumours of truce between Konoha and Kumogakure, which I remembered led to rebellion of Golden Horn and Silver Horn and ultimately the death of Grandfather Tobirama, although I want to prevent it there is still a faint feeling if I wanted to change the plot something inexplicable would happen to me and as a qualified Ninja I trust my instincts, maybe it is related to the World Laws, and moreover I have a certain theory that I want to check.

'If Tobirama wants to escape even if Golden Horn and Silver horn have seamless coordination and have tools of Sage of Six paths specially for Sealing, they can't trap Tobirama.' I thought with my fist clenched

Anyways if the plot is the same the next Hokage should be, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Other members of Team Tobirama will become, Konoha Advisors and Shimura Danzo will become the Leader of Root, now is my only chance to bug them with my AI Chip assistance, I also wanted to have talk with Tobirama tonight.

In a dark room inside Senju compound, Senju Tobirama was on his writing desk drawing complicated seals

I just arrived there with my Improved stealth Simulated by AI Chip, which is supposed to reduce my presence to minimum level possible.

I arrived inside the room Tobirama as Veteran Shinobi alredy had thrown kunai towards me,

"Relax Tobi , it's me"

To which he didn't seemed surprised and went back to his writing table

"Anyways what are you writing, In the scroll your will?" I asked in a joking tone

"Yes " he appeared dead serious

I sighed while thinking about my hypothesis

"So, you really don't plan to return back from Kumogakure alive." I asked him in a serious tone

He raised an eyebrow but, and didn't show any surprised expression, anymore and said in a solemn voice

"When the tree leaves dance, One shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village,

And once again, tree leaves shall bud anew.

So, for the new leaves should bud, and old leaves shall become the nourishment to the big tree known as Konoha."

I retorted back "I thought you didn't believed in that Bullshit."

He still kept his cold expression and said in his usual cold voice

"As, Nidame Hokage I can't fall back now I have thought about this thoroughly, again and again and there aren't any solutions to this problem, but with my death the balance in the Ninja world will return to normal and we would achieve at least ten years of peace."

I again retorted " Don't lie, old man I can think a dozen of plans, I don't believe you can't think of any alternative."

He finally out down his usual cold expression and said while smirking

"Other plans will not have a high success rate and even if they have they would take a lot of time and resources to implement, and by then there will be a lot of unstable factors, If my death can be exchanged for 10 years of peace I will, give it without hesitation."

For the first time in a while I cried for the first time since reincarnating in this body, to which Grandfather tried to form a smile which wasn't quite a smile but he seemed to be trying really hard. 'Damn these emotions although I am an adult but this is a child's body so I can't control emotions even after ninja training.'

"Old man it really doesn't suits you, don't force yourself to smile." I tried to resist my crying with a chuckle.

After I while, I returned to my calm then asked.

"So who, do you want to appoint as Third Hokage."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are both good candidates both have their own strengths and Weakness, Sarutobi is Strong and talented but hasn't Decisiveness that a Hokage should have, Danzo is far sighted and Decisiveness but lacks Strength a key element Strength but with the help of Hiruzen he should be able to suppress the crowd, in the trip to Kumogakure I would take a final test between two and let the rest Fate decide."

"Fate huh! , anyways not trusting an Uchiha even now huh" I asked jokingly again

"No, it isn't that I don't trust Uchiha it's just that I don't trust their Sharingan." he said in a deep voice.

"Anyways I bet my money on Hiruzen, I think he would become The Third Hokage, that what you also want isn't it " I asked

"I hope so" he replied

'I asked him to Approve my Early Graduation application and ANBU recommendation letter for future and also asked him to feed my specially made food pills to both Danzo and Hiruzen which had my microscopic level bugs planted in it.'

'To which he raised an eyebrow but didn't asked much.'

'And after we talked for a bit in which he told me to take care of Konoha and Tsunade after which, I left while giving him a last hug and to avoid any more embarrassment directly left with Flying Thunder God.'

After I left, I just felt tired because of emotion overload and slept.

I started my day again, as usual having my morning exercises with Duy, and started my Sword practice before leaving for Academy.

Knowing the Bad news that I would receive in about a week, although I wouldn't be have much of reaction but there would be a major power shuffle after Hiruzen would take over and Establishment of Higher Echelon of Konoha.

As, a new Hokage would take control there would also be change in policies of the previous Hokage, establishment of new ANBU as Previously ANBU consisted of a lot of Senju Clan members related to commoners, but now it would be filled of people Hiruzen could trust the most, as ninja part of ANBU not only represents Strength but also the trust of Hokage, for example if you are a Jonin but without the trust of Hokage, you can't enter ANBU but if you are a chunnin. but Hokage trusts you can enter ANBU And have a higher status than a Jonin.

Things will get a little chaotic in coming year, I thought.
