This night is destined to be a sleepless night for the people of Konoha.

But when the ordinary residents of Konoha came out of their refuge, they saw that their homes had become a mess, and many ninjas they were familiar with had died that night.

Many ordinary residents of Konoha couldn't help but shed tears when they saw this scene.

The dilapidation of our home and the sacrifice of our familiar friends.

I originally thought that after the Third Ninja War, we would be able to live a relatively stable life, but we did not expect that less than two years had passed before Konoha would once again suffer such great damage.

Originally, when many people just came out of the evacuation site, they felt sad but could still endure it. But when they walked to the center of Konoha and saw the place where they lived now, they could still bear the sadness in their hearts.

There are still a few people who don't cry.

Looking at the mournful faces, Toneri knew that this was what Konoha should bear.

However, it is precisely because of enduring these hardships that the residents of Konoha will become more tenacious and more united.

"Ryoma, how about the root loss?"

What is different from the original world is that this time the Nine-Tails Rebellion involved all the root and ANBU ninjas.

Ryoma, whose clothes were slightly torn and who looked a little embarrassed, appeared next to Toneri.

"Ten ninjas were killed in this battle, and almost all of them were injured to varying degrees. Five of them were seriously injured and lost the ability to continue their mission." Ryoma responded respectfully.

Toneri felt a little distressed. These root ninjas were all the most loyal forces in his hands. Every one of them was very precious. They were trained through numerous root screenings. Most of them were chuunin and valuable jounin.

With their strength, each one is a master at the task.

However, root nins are basically orphans. Even if they are not orphans, they have forgotten their past existence, so they do not need to receive pensions if they die in battle.

This is the root ninja, with no past, no future, no emotions and no self, only endless tasks.

"Bury all these Root ninjas who died in the battle deep at the bottom of the Root base, and engrave their code names on the Root death tablets, so that they can become Konoha's last nourishment."

"yes!"

"Also, transfer those root ninjas who are seriously injured and unable to continue their mission to the position of instructors and continue to deliver nutrients to the roots."

"yes!"

Ryoma responded again, and after seeing that Toneri had no intention of continuing to issue instructions, his figure slowly disappeared into the shadow of the broken stone pile next to him.

After that, Toneri also gave the same order to the ANBU.

However, ANBU ninjas all have their official identities, so even if they die in battle, they still need to be given a lot of pensions and benefits.

They will even give you 7 more than the average ninja.

"Sasuke, summon the top management of Konoha to hold a meeting regarding the Nine-Tails Rebellion to discuss how to deal with the funeral and how to deal with the enemy we need to face."

Toneri ordered Yuan Fei Riza's eldest son, Sarutobi Sasuke, the current ANBU deputy captain.

"Okay, Yondaime-sama!"

With that said, Sarutobi Sasuke left according to Toneri's order.

If, before today's incident, there were still some Konoha ninjas and Konoha residents who had not seen Toneri's strength and still had some doubts about Toneri, the Fourth Hokage, from this day on, the entire Konoha

Everyone will regard Toneri as the strongest person in Konoha.

If you don't believe it, then go and see the huge crater left after the battle in the southwest corner of Konoha.

If it weren't for the relatively skewed location of the battle, based on the traces they left after the battle, it is estimated that the center of Konoha would have been completely destroyed, unlike the Kyuubi, which was destroyed, but still left behind.

There are many traces.

If Toner and Uchiha Madara were to fight in the center of Konoha, they would definitely be razed to the ground, and most of the residents of Konoha would not even have time to escape. It is estimated that many people would die in their sleep in a daze.

But it was precisely because the battle between Toner and Madara Uchiha warned many people in advance that most of the people who died in this battle were ninjas, and only a very small number of people who had no time to escape died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

middle.

A somewhat embarrassed-looking figure appeared in the exclusive conference room of the Hokage Building.

Looking at the people who appeared here, Shiren's eyes flashed.

Even though these people were all in the same mess, he knew how many of them actually participated in the battle and how many of them just shouted loudly but were paddling next to them.

There are some ninjas with relatively strong sensory abilities in the root, who are responsible for monitoring whether they are really fighting.

So he knew it well.

"I believe you all understand what just happened in Konoha. What is the specific result? I believe everyone here should know it based on their ability."

Look around.

The previous Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Konoha Jounin squad leader and Hokage's advisor Nara Shikakushin, Orochimaru one of the three ninjas and head of the scientific research department, Hokage's second secretary Shikaku Nara, and ANBU deputy captain Sarutobi came to listen.

Sasuke, the newly appointed deputy director of the Medical Department Yakushi Nonou, as well as the heads of important departments in Konoha such as the Intelligence Department, Interrogation Department, Operations Department, and Information Department.

There are also heads of families from Nara, Akimichi, Yamazaka, Aburozuka, Hinata, Uchiha and so on.

Now the head of the Uchiha clan has been officially transferred from the previous clan leader to the current clan leader Uchiha Fugaku, and because of Toneri's support, Uchiha Fugaku has almost gathered the power that was originally scattered in the hands of various elders.

On the contrary, the head of the clan of the Hyuga clan, that is, the father of the two brothers Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi, has not yet passed on the title of head of the clan of the Hyuga clan to Hyuga Hizashi.

Listening to Shiren's words, everyone present looked a little serious.

"I know that all your departments and families have suffered serious losses, but Konoha's losses are even more serious." Toneri said in a heavy tone, with a serious look on his face.

I glanced around the crowd again, but still no one spoke.

"Are you all curious, who released the Nine-Tails this time? And who fought with me in the southwest corner of Konoha for so long?"

This time, the battle between Toner and Madara Uchiha in the southwest corner of Konoha was really devastating. Any Konoha ninja would probably be terrified when he saw this scene.

It can be said that the scale of the battle between the two exceeded everyone present. As the Hokage, Toneri's power was such that almost no one in Konoha dared to disobey his orders.

This is the right gained by absolute strength.

The last Hokage who could do this was the First Hokage Senju Hashirama.

However, during the Senju Hashirama period, there was still Madara Uchiha who could compete with him.

Moreover, Senju Hashirama is also a person with great ambitions and informality. He is very easy to talk to in many aspects. That is to say, his younger brother Senju Tobirama was always there to assist him and prevent him from making inappropriate choices.

But Shiren is different, he is not a person like Senju Hashirama.

If you really want to count, he can probably be regarded as a combination of the weakened version of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.

Of course, to them, the weakened version of Senju Hashirama was no different from him, and was simply not something they could compete with.

On the other hand, the weakened version of Senju Tobirama lets others know that Toneri has deep foresight and scheming, as well as the ability to match.

Ordinary Konoha residents don't know how Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped down from the position of Hokage. How can people like them not know?

Therefore, when facing Shiren at this time, everyone just watched with eyes, nose, nose and heart, waiting for him to give instructions.

Seeing that no one gave any reaction, Shiren was also speechless.

He glanced at Nara Shikaku, who was sitting behind Nara Shikakushin, and gave him a look that only he could understand.

There is no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Nara Shikaku is now being suppressed by Toneri. Which day he can take a holiday, and which day he can work less, all depends on Toneri's eyes.

The point is that his Nara Yoshino is pregnant, and he looks forward to going home early every day to see his soon-to-be-born child.

So he chose to cooperate with Sheren.

"I wonder who the ninja is who can fight the Yondaime for such a long time?" Nara Shikaku asked a question that many people want to ask but don't dare to ask.

It's true that Shiren gave them too much of a deterrent in the previous battle, and they haven't recovered yet.

Upon hearing Nara Shikaku's question, Toneri gave him a decent look.

As a superior, you need to have a few capable subordinates who can cooperate with you among your vast masses. Nara Shikaku is obviously such a character.

It doesn't matter even if others see the cooperation between the two of them, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for both Toneri and Shikaku himself.

Immediately afterwards, Toneri put on a slightly serious expression.

"Uchiha Madara!"

boom--

Hearing this person's name, even though the people below had some guesses in their minds, they were still shocked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting aside and listening, stood up from his chair.

Although he had gotten this answer from Orochimaru before, when he heard it from Toba himself now, he could not suppress his shock.

Of all the people here, he is the only one who has ever experienced the twin stars of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara Konoha coexisting at the same time.

So he had a very good idea of ​​what the name Uchiha Madara meant.

He had some speculations in his mind before, but after considering that Uchiha Madara was indeed killed by Senju Hashirama, and he even saw Uchiha Madara's body, he suppressed this idea deeply in his heart.

"impossible!"

Uchiha Fugaku was more excited than everyone present. He shouted out "impossible" regardless of who was speaking.

Everyone looked at him with all kinds of looks.

Some were watching the show, some were worried, and of course some were joking.
