Plan After the War

"Shimura Kizaru?"

Sitting on the stone platform, Madara slowly opened his eyes.

"Yes, that guy is quite powerful! He defeated the Raikage and Kazekage, and was evaluated by people in the ninja world as the next Senju Hashirama, the new God of Shinobi!"

White Zetsu, who returned from Amegakure, truthfully reported the information he collected in the Amegakure to Madara.

"Tch!" With a disdainful snort, Madara said in an indifferent tone, "They are just a group of frogs in a well."

AsHashirama's lifelong rival and close friend, Madara does not think that anyone in the current ninja world can reach the height of Senju Hashirama.

"Madara-sama, the ninjas of Konoha are approaching Nagato. Do you need us to move Nagato?"

"No!" Madara refused directly. "The ninjas of Konoha just discovered the blood of the Uzumaki clan in Nagato and wanted to bring them back to the village."

"But, if the people of Konoha..."

"It's just Konoha, it can't affect my plan!" Madara said confidently, "Let Nagato go to Konoha to absorb nutrients, grow better, and then embark on the path I have arranged for him!"

"Go back! Go back to Nagato and watch him carefully!"

"Yes, Madara-sama!"

After saying that, White Zetsu slowly sneaked into the land right in front of Madara.

Watching White Zetsu leave, Madara slowly stood up and looked in the direction of Konoha with an unknown color in his eyes.

The next Senju Hashirama? The new God of Shinobi? What a joke!

Let me show you what it means to be a real strong person!

1.2 billion in cash, compensation divided into five years, and a 20% mission quota within 8 years (Konoha has the right of first choice). In addition, Konoha and Sunagakure have formed an alliance, and Konoha takes the lead in the ninja world.

This is the armistice compensation terms agreed upon by Danzo on behalf of the village and Ebizo.

After the meeting, Ebizo, with Danzo's permission, met Chiyo who was seriously injured and unconscious.

"I want to bring Elder Chiyo back." Looking at his sister who was wrapped up like a mummy on the hospital bed, a trace of heartache flashed in Ebizo's eyes, and then he said to Danzo next to him.

"No!" Danzo refused without any hesitation.

"We have reached an armistice alliance agreement, Elder Danzo!" Ebizo said emphatically.

"When you send a mission to Konoha, formally sign the agreement, and send the first batch of compensation, I will naturally release him." In a tone that left no room for doubt, Danzo said coldly.

"I understand." Knowing that it was impossible to bring back his sister this time, Ebizo lowered his appeal and said, "Konoha must ensure that Elder Chiyo is provided with the treatment he deserves in a timely manner."

"Don't worry, the elder Chiyo of your village will enjoy the same treatment as Kumogakure's Raikage." With a threatening tone, Danzo emphasized the words "Kumogakure's Raikage".

"I hope so!" Ebizo had no other choice but to reply.

After watching his sister Chiyo, Ebizo, who was worried about the village, did not stay in Amegakure for long, and left in a hurry with two of his men.

And with Ebizo leaving, Danzo's mission in Amegakure has come to a successful end.

He had already negotiated an armistice agreement with Sunagakure and was not prepared to stay in Amegakure any longer.

Returning to the village, increasing efforts to promote Kizaru, and accelerating Kizaru's promotion to Hokage are what Danzo is most concerned about at this time!

Therefore, after Ebizo left, Danzo also issued an order for the ninjas of Konoha to evacuate early tomorrow morning.

After hearing Danzo's order, Tsunade, who was standing with Kizaru, nudged Kizaru with her elbow.

Looking at Tsunade, he saw her turning her head in Danzo's direction as a sign. Kizaru curled his lips, touched his head, and stepped forward to stand in front of Danzo.

"Uncle, I have something to talk to you about alone!"

Looking at Kizaru, Danzo said nothing, turned and walked out of the house.

Seeing this, Kizaru followed Danzo to a separate room.

"Remnants of the Uzumaki clan?"

After listening to Kizaru's simple story, Danzo showed an interested expression.

The Uzumaki clan is a distant relative of the Senju clan. If that child is used to transplant cells from the first generation, good results may be achieved.

Looking at Danzo's expression, Kizaru knew that his uncle was starting to think of some tricks again.

"As for Nagato's family, I promised to protect them. You don't want to make things difficult for me, uncle!" With a faint smile on his face, Kizaru said in a slightly serious tone.

"Who do you think I am?" Kizaru had clearly guessed what he was thinking, but for the sake of face, Danzo still strongly denied it, "The Uzumaki clan is a close ally of Konoha, and it is the village's responsibility to take care of them. "

"That's the best! My dear uncle!" Looking at the tough-talking Danzo in front of him, Kizaru joked with a smile.

"Stand back and inform them!" Feeling a little embarrassed, Danzo drove Kizaru away angrily.

"Oh ho ho! It's so cute!" He once again stimulated Danzo, and Kizaru turned around and left with a smile.

A trace of anger flashed across his face. Danzo looked at Kizaru's leaving figure and could only shake his head helplessly.

Danzo knew Kizaru very well. Although he was usually lazy and had a flexible bottom line, on some things, once he made a decision, he could be terrifyingly tough.

Kizaru, who left the room and negotiated with Danzo, found Tsunade and informed the Nagato family together.

Early the next morning, Konoha's ninjas gathered in front of the gate of Amegakure.

Already knowing that today is the day to return to the village, everyone has excited smiles on their faces.

Less than half a month after arriving in Amegakure, he had won two wars in a row, with only single-digit casualties.

This unprecedented victory, coupled with the expectation of returning to the village to see relatives and friends soon, made everyone at the scene very happy.

"Kizaru! Go and say a few words to everyone!" Danzo said deliberately as he walked out of the Amegakurewith Kizaru and the Sannin, accompanied by Hanzo.

"Me? It's really troublesome!" Knowing Danzo's intention, Kizaru complained with a smile.

"Without you, this war would not have been won so quickly! You are the hero of Konoha, go quickly!" Walking to Kizaru's side, Tsunade looked up at him with a look of affirmation on her face, and spoke encouragingly.

"Everyone is waiting for you, Kizaru!" Jiraiya followed up, reached out and gently pushed Kizaru, with a bright smile on his face.

"Go! Kizaru!" Walking in front of Kizaru, Orochimaru showed a rare smile and also encouraged him.

Facing the encouragement of the Sannin, Kizaru looked at each of them separately, then looked at Danzo beside him, looking at him with a smile.

"It's really embarrassing!"

The smile on his face was a little wider, and the sunlight in the sky broke through the clouds and shone on Kizaru.

Putting his hands in his pockets and stepping forward, Kizaru walked under the gate of Amegakure Village and walked in front of hundreds of Konoha ninjas.

With eyes full of admiration and excitement, all the Konoha ninjas on the scene looked at the village hero Shimura Kizaru!

"Golden Flash!"

The shout instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

"Golden Flash!"

"Kizaru-sama, I love you!"

"Hero of Konoha! Shimura Kizaru!"

Cheers rose one after another, and everyone who was conquered by Kizaru's performance on the battlefield looked at Kizaru with eyes filled with admiration and respect!

In less than a month, Kizaru, who ended the Second War, became the great hero of Konoha, the idol of countless ninjas, and a powerful ninja who shocked the entire ninja world!

Looking at Kizaru in front of him who was being cheered by countless companions, the Sannin standing side by side had their faces full of sincere blessings and smiles.

Kizaru will definitely become an excellent Hokage in the future and lead Konoha to prosperity!

This was the Sannin's and Danzo's idea.

Looking at his nephew in front of him, Danzo also smiled happily!

Not only Danzo and the Sannin, Hanzo from Amegakure who came to see off the guests also laughed.

"The title I chose is still very recognized!"

"The war is over, let's go home!" Kizaru said with a smile under the gaze of everyone.

"Let's go home!" With their right hands raised high, everyone shouted in response.

In Konoha, in order to welcome the war heroes who returned from Amegakure, the village's senior officials planned a grand celebration.

This victory is of great significance to Konoha.

Not only did Konoha once again prove its status as the number one ninja village in the ninja world, but through this ninja war, it successfully frightened the martial arts factions in other villages who were ready to take action and reaped huge benefits.

At the same time, this great victory was also of great significance to the village's senior leaders, headed by Hiruzen.

This war was the first battle that Hiruzen fought completely after becoming Hokage. (During World War I, Hiruzen succeeded the position only after the Second Hokage died in the middle and late stages of the war.)

The victory of the war increased the prestige of the Third Hokage and further consolidated his status.

In addition, several people who participated in leading this war and made military exploits were all from the Hokage faction.

For multiple reasons, Hiruzen naturally wanted to promote more and celebrate.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after receiving the news that Danzo and his party were about to arrive at the village gate, Hiruzen along with two advisors and the heads of each ninja clan in the village, arrived at the gate to wait.

Many villagers who knew the news also spontaneously came to the gate of the village.

Looking at the road ahead, everyone is looking forward to the return of the heroes.

"They're coming!"

With his hands behind his back, Hiruzen looked at the figure appearing in the distance with a smile on his face.

Not only Hiruzen, but everyone else present also saw the returning war heroes.

As the team approached, the waiting villagers could no longer restrain their excitement and cheered.

"It's so lively!" Walking at the front of the team, Kizaru also saw the enthusiastic reception ahead.

"They are all here to welcome us!" Tsunade smiled when she saw her younger brother Nawaki jumping up and down with his hands raised in the crowd in front.

"The war is over, I will continue traveling and writing." After hearing the conversation between the two, Jiraiya interjected.

"I also want to travel around the world and win all the casinos!" Tsunade said confidently as Jiraiya's words brought back her old dream.

With a thought in his heart, Jiraiya wanted to invite Tsunade to come with him, but after looking at Tsunade and Kizaru beside her, he instead complained: "That is simply impossible!"

"Asshole! Do you want to die?" Looking at Jiraiya with murderous intent, Tsunade raised her right hand that was clenched into a fist in a threatening manner.

Protecting his head with both hands, Jiraiya quickly said: "I'm doing this for your own good!"

"You should write a book that can be sold first, and then tell me about it!" Tsunade retorted with her right hand retracted and hugged it to her chest.

Looking at Tsunade and Jiraiya who were arguing, Kizaru did not interrupt, but looked at Orochimaru not far away with a smile.

Noticing Kizaru's gaze, Orochimaru also turned his head to look at Kizaru.

"Orochimaru-senpai, what do you want to do after returning to the village this time?" Kizaru walked up to Orochimaru and asked with a smile.

Kizaru has never forgotten the exploration and development of the Sage Mode.

After this war, Kizaru estimated that the ninja world would enter a long period of peace, and he planned to take advantage of this time to cooperate with Orochimaru.

With his own information reserve about Naruto, plus some theoretical knowledge he learned before his time-travel reincarnation, Kizaru believed that his cooperation with Orochimaru would be able to achieve some remarkable results.

"I think I will continue my research!" He has not experienced the death of his disciples, and has not seen many casualties among his companions in this war. Orochimaru's obsession with immortality has not yet reached paranoia.

"I am also a little interested in the research of life and ninjutsu. Why don't we have a good chat after returning to the village?" Looking at Orochimaru in front of him, Kizaru saw not only a senior brother and a genius scientist, but also a perfect person. scientific research tool man.

Orochimaru, who was lonely in scientific research, showed interest when he heard Kizaru's invitation.

"Kizaru also likes scientific research?"

"Orochimaru-senpai, how much do you know about natural energy and magic?" Kizaru continued.

As a contractor of Ryūchi Cave, Orochimaru naturally understands senjutsu.

It's just that because the conditions for practicing senjutsu are too harsh, Orochimaru is temporarily unable to practice the senjutsu that Fukasaku said. One of the conditions for practicing senjutsu is to have a large amount of chakra. (In the official setting, the essence that represents the amount of chakra is Jiraiya 10 , Tsunade is 8, Orochimaru is 7. )

"As for senjutsu, you should talk to Jiraiya. That guy is preparing to practice." Orochimaru said kindly, "With your qualifications, you should be qualified to practice senjutsu."

Smiling and shaking his head, Kizaru continued: "What I mean is, maybe we can work together to develop a technique that is truly suitable for ninja practice."

"I heard that the immortals in the three holy places have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. I think natural energy and senjutsu must have played a big role in them. "

"Is Kizaru also pursuing immortality?"

After listening to Kizaru's words, Orochimaru's eyes looked at him with a little more meaning.

"When I return to the village this time, I plan to propose to the old man that we create a separate institution responsible for research. The village will provide funds and resources, and the research institution will return the results." Without going around and around, Kizaru directly expressed his thoughts.

Full of heart-pounding feelings, Orochimaru does not yet have Danzo, and research funds and resources have always been in short supply.

"The consumption is too great, it's difficult for Sensei to agree." Orochimaru directly stated the difficulty.

"He will agree!" Kizaru said confidently.

"Why?" Orochimaru asked curiously.

"Me and you, plus Tsunade! I think Mr. Sarutobi doesn't want to see all four disciples leave the village!" Kizaru replied half-jokingly.

Orochimaru also laughed and said loudly: "As expected of you! Kizaru!"
