45, The Second Great Ninja War has officially begun!

During the time after completing his mission, Seishi did not continue to go on any missions.

His daily life became extremely simple, practicing every day, and spending leisure time shopping and eating and drinking with Tsunade.

In his view, this kind of simple life is also very good.

When Tsunade practices, he can accompany her.

After practicing, the two can relax and go out to eat, drink and have fun together.

This is something he dreamed of in his previous life.

Perhaps in the current situation, many boys want this too.

Their partner is not only their comrade-in-arms, but also their playmate.

There may be nothing more pleasing to the body and mind than this in the world.

That's how Seishi sees it.

And when Third Hokage found out that Seishi fought Hanzo the Salamander to a standstill in the Hidden Rain Village and was able to escape from the surrounding Rain Village ninja unscathed, he was shocked and speechless.

In his impression, even though Seishi's strength has grown rapidly over the past few years.

But he is still just a young person, and there is still a considerable gap between him and the peak of the ninja world.

But now he is no weaker than these people.

He is approaching these peak existences without limit.

Take Third Hokage himself as an example, he also thinks that he cannot do better than Seishi.

" Hiruzen...Seishi's talent may be beyond our imagination...this child...you should have handed him over to me a long time ago! The true will of fire must have a dark blade to continue..."

"Your approach will only ruin this child's future!"

Touching the bandage over his right eye, Shimura Danzo spoke seriously to Third Hokage.

Kagami...if you were still alive, then you should support my approach too. I will continue to go on with your eye steadfastly!!

His former close friend, Kagami Uchiha, was truly a peculiar existence. Clearly a member of the Uchiha clan, he was nothing like the others in the clan.

He was also the only one in the Uchiha clan who was recognized by his teacher, Senju Tobirama.

Kagami had saved his life many times, but what was the use of that...

Once a person dies, there's nothing that can be done to bring them back.The fact is that the future of the Leaf can only exist in the light, while it's roots take hold in the darkness.

On this point, Danzo firmly believes, and he thinks that he is the only person who can carry this will of darkness!

" Danzo...I have already said, this child cannot be handed over to you!...He should be the new hope of Konoha, representing the will of the new generation. He can only stand in the sunshine, not dwell in the darkness...!"

After listening to him, the Third Hokage slowly spoke, while his eyes looked complicatedly at Danzo.

I don't know why, but I and my former good friend have become more and more distant.

And Danzo's ideology seems to have become more and more extreme.

When did he become like this? It seems to be after I became Hokage.

In these years, most of my actions against Danzo were for the future of Konoha, to prevent this good friend from falling further into darkness.

After hearing what the Third Hokage said, Danzo did not say much, just sneered a few times and did not speak anymore.

He was very clear about Danzo's actions against him in recent years.

If the Third Hokage really had the courage to take action against him, then Danzo would not hate him, on the contrary, he would appreciate him.

I never thought that after Sarutobi Hiruzen became Hokage, his means and courage would become a shadow of their former selves.

In Danzo's eyes, this was completely a kind of weakness, something that the person in power should not have.

And the actions of Seishi, who became the sword of the Third Hokage, were also seen by Danzo.

Danzo could not hate him for pulling out so much of his power and killing so many Root ninjas. He also greatly appreciated Seishi.

This precisely represents the talent and potential of Seishi.

Danzo believes that if Chiba Seishi can become his subordinate, he can fully develop him into the next God of shinobi like Senju Hashirama before him.

When he first saw Chiba Seishi, he discovered something different from the depths of his eyes.

This child is far more complex than he appears to be.

His heart is full of darkness waiting to be developed.

"Forget about this matter. My attitude on this matter will not change. Chiba Seishi must not be handed over to you. You can give up on this."

Sandaime Hokage said firmly.

After saying this, the two fell into a long silence.

In the end, Sandaime Hokage was the first to break the silence.

"Speaking of which, there are also many talented children in Konoha who have been recruited by you into 'Root'..."

Taking a sip of tea, Sandaime Hokage said.

He tacitly approved Danzo's actions behind his back over the years.

Standing up and with his hands behind his back, he walked to the window and looked at the white clouds outside.

The weather today was the same as usual, sunny and cloudless, just like the future of Konoha in his heart.

"I feel that the situation in the ninja world is becoming increasingly unstable recently, and it seems that a new war is about to begin..."

Sandaime Hokage looked worriedly outside the window.

Although Konoha is still the largest village, if a war is launched, they are not afraid of anyone.

But under the current circumstances, he does not want to start a war.

Killing a thousand enemies will hurt oneself eight hundred.

Even if a war were to occur, he has confidence in leading the many Konoha families, including the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, to take Konoha to a new level.

"... Even if there is a war, we in Konoha will not be afraid of anyone..."

"But lately, the main problem is that group of rats from Amegakure who are causing trouble along the border of the Land of Fire," he said.

"And it's not just us. According to reports, even Suna and other ninja villages have suffered from their raids. I think it's necessary to send some people to give them a proper beating and remind them who's in charge of this ninja world!"

With a cold snort, Danzo showed his disdain for the ninja from these small countries.

The two of them discussed the state of the ninja world until nightfall, and then Danzo left.

...

The next day, the entire ninja world shook. The leader of Amegakure, Hanzo, declared war on Konoha, Suna, and Iwa!

The Second Great Ninja War had officially begun!
