Hokage: I, Kakuzu, Immortal God

The cool breeze blows and the water flows.

The Nanga River, which flows through most of the Fire Country, flows quietly in Konoha.

It flows down the river, giving birth to countless lives on this land.

With its long history, it has witnessed the rise, fall and changes of this land.

Today, this land seems to be lively again because of something.

But he was still so calm, still so calm.

The trees planted on both sides of the river sway in the wind.

The wind brings refreshment and tranquility, but in this refreshing and tranquility, there is also a trace of unwillingness.

Minami Kagawa Shrine.

In the secret room, two rows of firelights swayed and swayed in the darkness, as if they were two living people dancing.

It adds a touch of light and warmth to this dark space.

Below is a tall black tombstone.

No one can tell the origin of the tombstone. They only know that it was left by the ancestors of Uchiha.

sand~sand~sand~

Uchiha Madara stood in front of the tombstone and gently wiped the fan in his hand.

Every time you wipe, the unique sound of metal rubbing against the rag will resound in this dark space.

Madara, quietly stared at the weapon in his hand.

This is a weapon that is unique to him and has been with him since the Warring States Period.

Along with his expeditions to the south and north, he killed countless people and made great military exploits.

It wasn't until when he looked at him again today that Madara noticed the slightest trace of rust on the fan.

This has never happened before.

While Madara was wiping his weapon, there were three clansmen standing behind him.

These three tribesmen, represented by Akira Uchiha, made a special trip to see Madara.

"Have you heard, Patriarch? It's already spread outside."

"The Kage from the four major human villages will all gather to Konoha for the first Five Kage Talks."

"These people talk about negotiations, but to put it bluntly, they are the tailed beasts who are jealous of me, Konoha."

"Clan leader, you caught these tailed beasts yourself, we can't just give them to you for nothing."

……

Listening to the fierce words of Ming and other juniors.

Madara was still sitting on the ground, turned the fan over, placed it on his knees, and gently touched the marks on it.

"Now that you all know, what are you going to do?"

Seeing that the clan leader finally spoke, Uchiha Akira and others seemed to see hope.

Stepping forward, fists clenched, they gave their advice.

"Chief, the Four Shadow Villages have created the theory of a threat to Konoha. We must not just accept it."

"Don't they want tailed beasts? Then we will let them bleed a lot and use their country's resources, land, money, and ninjutsu in exchange."

"Yes, clan leader, don't forget that you have a share in catching the tailed beast. We can't be at the mercy of those big clans. Let's go find Lord Hokage now."

"We want to make everyone in Konoha realize through this incident that we Uchiha have a place in Konoha."

……

The discussion among several Madara supporters was heated.

however.

bang.

Tuan Fan squatted heavily on the ground.

The crisp sound made Uchiha Akira and several clan members shut up.

They all focused their gazes on their clan leader.

Uchiha Madara slowly stood up and put the fan behind his back again.

When they turned around, the Uchiha clan members were shocked to find out.

When their clan leader faced them, he was already in the shape of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

At the same time, Madara's temperament has completely changed, becoming as decisive and aggressive as before during the Warring States Period.

Of course, facing his own people, Madara would not kill him.

He just looked at these trembling people and walked slowly past them.

He left a sentence that left everyone confused.

"Always immersed in short-term tranquility can never achieve true peace."

Having said this, Uchiha Madara showed a meaningful smile on his lips.

His figure gradually faded away, leaving the Nanga River Shrine, leaving only the confused clan members behind.

His eyes returned to the central land of Konoha Village.

This place has the most fertile land, the lushest vegetation, and the friendliest people in the ninja world.

The combination of various conditions allowed this land to prosper rapidly.

The Warring States Period ended only a few years ago.

Today's Konoha can be said to be at its peak politically, economically, and militarily.

The five major shadow villages are far inferior to Konoha.

During this period, Konoha also began to become lively.

When villagers walk on the street, they will find that there are too many "outsiders" in strange clothes.

This is not only because of Konoha's always-open policy.

It was even more because after many high-level discussions in Konoha, it was decided to hold the first Five Kage Talks again.

People from the five major countries will gather here.

This is a historical moment that many people want to witness.

There are also more people who want to know how the first Five Shadows Talk will end.

So there are more and more people of all kinds in Konoha.

While the large number of people brought excitement, it also put a lot of pressure on Konoha's defense.

Do you want to say that someone dares to cause wanton destruction in Konoha?

To be honest, there shouldn't be any.

Because Konoha is now at its peak.

The Senju clan, the Sarutobi clan, the Tomura clan, the Ino, Deer and Butterfly clans, the Hyuga clan...

Many ninjas are no joke.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble and cause trouble will most likely be subdued in minutes.

And at such a critical period, those who make trouble are undoubtedly discrediting their own village and may even affect negotiations.

Therefore, those outside the village in Konoha, as long as they have some brains, dare not make big moves.

But it doesn't matter if you make small moves, so this will test Konoha's defensive strength.

At the Konoha gate.

The "poker face" that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, Senju Tobirama, is already guarding the gate.

There were also many representatives of the ninja clan standing beside him.

They represent Konoha here, not only to express their welcome to people from other villages who come and go, but also to receive certain special groups of people.

But look at Senju Tobirama's face demanding payment.

Are you sure he is here to welcome guests?And not to scare people?

"Hey!" Senju Tobirama's old face turned to the side and looked at Kakuzu who was sitting leisurely on the ground reading a book: "Do you think it's inappropriate for me to stand at the door?"

"Haha." Kakuzu put away the book, stood up and stretched his hands and feet, and looked sideways at Senju Tobirama: "You are from the Senju family and the Hokage's assistant. You represent the face of Konoha. If you don't come, Who’s coming?”

"On the contrary, I feel that I shouldn't come. I'm staying in the laboratory. What do you mean by pulling me out?"

Speaking of which, Kakuzu felt that Senju Tobirama was being very unreasonable.

He was busy with his business and I was busy with mine. Everyone had their own things to do.

This Senju Tobirama asked Kakuzu to come out to help "welcome guests". This profession is not suitable at all.

"Don't pretend." Qianju Tobirama put his hands into his pockets: "You don't know that the defense in the village is tense now. If something big happens, other villages will be embarrassed. I don't know. , but I, Konoha, have definitely been embarrassed, so I urgently need the help of a top-notch ninja now, otherwise I won’t call you out.”

"Yeah." Kakuzu nodded: "Your flattery is acceptable, I can barely accept it."

"Hmph." Qianju Tobijian snorted arrogantly: "Okay, I have to leave for a while. Please help me guard this place and be careful not to let any suspicious people go."

After Senju Tobirama finished speaking, before he could make any move, Kakuzu immediately sat down again after standing straight.

"What do you mean?" Senshou Tobirama was helpless. He wanted to get angry but suppressed his anger: "Didn't we agree before? I'll give you 1.5 times your salary and let you help out. "

Hearing this, Kakudu raised his eyebrows and looked up at Senju Tobirama with a much more serious look.

"It turns out that you also know that you came out to ask me to help with things, not to help manage things. Now you ask me to keep an eye on it for you. If something happens, don't I have a huge responsibility?"

"Then what do you want?" Qianju Tobirama frowned deeply and looked very impatient.

Seeing this, Kakuzu also stood up again, put away his books, his expression became more solemn, and he raised three fingers.

"If you want me to take charge, you have to pay more! Three times the salary!"
