Chapter 124: The beginning of the sprouts of Konoha (6500 words), monthly ticket]
Toneri stood quietly in front of Danzo and said no more.
The person in front of him was much more difficult to deal with than he thought. Before he had absolute strength, it was best not to provoke him and just pretend to be a grandson.
Didn’t you see that even a strong man like Orochimaru was trapped in every corner after dealing with him, and stepped into his plan step by step?
Although Orochimaru didn't care about that, at that time, Orochimaru himself had lost interest in the position of Hokage, and defecting would be more conducive to his research.
"Tsunade's illness cannot be hidden, and the Konoha Medical Department does not need a medical ninja who cannot save others. As the only one among Tsunade's students who has received the true inheritance of her medical ninjutsu, you are the most qualified to take over her position.
of."
Finally, Danzo, who had been silent for a long time but could not detect anything strange about Toneri, revealed the purpose in his heart.
Hearing this, even Shiren, who was well prepared, was stunned at this moment.
What's the meaning?
Let yourself take over Konoha Medical Department?
But he is a ninja who has just graduated for more than a year. Even if he is Tsunade's student, there are countless people in the entire medical department who are better than him in medical ninjutsu. No matter how much he counts, it is not his turn.
Moreover, Tsunade hasn't left yet.
Even if her anemia is diagnosed, as long as she is unwilling to give up and with Hiruzen Sarutobi standing behind her, no one can shake Tsunade's position.
"Danzo-sama...is this...neither my identity nor my abilities are enough..."
In the middle of Toneri's words, he was directly interrupted by Danzo Shimura waving his hand.
"This is not something you need to worry about. Just know that if I want, I can help you get to that position.
Of course, this is not achieved overnight. Although your medical ninjutsu was taught by Tsunade, your exposure time is too short and your mastery is not mature enough.
Real medical ninjutsu should not just focus on one point, but should combine the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.
This is the manuscript of the most powerful medical ninja among all the root. In terms of medical ninjutsu ability, she may not be inferior to Tsunade. It is just because of identity restrictions that she cannot go to the public. Now I will
Her manuscript is given to you.
I hope you can attack the medical ninjutsu during this period, and when the time is right, I will send you to the top."
Toneri was shocked. There is only one person who can be called a pure medical ninjutsu who is not inferior to Tsunade, the "Walking Miko" Medicine Master Nono U!
However, the thing Danzo handed over actually meant one thing. Taking it was to stand on Genbe's side and help him deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But now he has no choice. This is the base of the root. There are many powerful people hidden there. It only takes a matter of minutes to deal with Shiren.
Even if the power of the two tails explodes, they may not be able to rush out.
Toneri looked at the scroll in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand, pursed his lips and said nothing, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Pharmacist Nonou's manuscripts are very precious, and they may contain a lot of records. The results of her long-term research, only Tsunade's medical manuscripts in Konoha can rival them.
But it's not enough.
No matter what, Sarutobi Hiruzen took out the Sealed Book and was full of sincerity. Even if Danzo included the element of force deterrence, it was not enough.
As Danzo's eyes gradually became colder, Toneri could clearly feel that the surrounding air had become a little stagnant.
According to Erwei's information, there are at least six or more jounin-level experts in this hall, including many elite-level jonins.
Coupled with Danzo, a strong man who could barely touch the Kage level, the defensive strength of the root can be regarded as one of the best in the entire Konoha.
However, the stronger the force they face, the less willing Shiren can be to compromise like this.
Otherwise, how can you show your greed?
How can Danzo be reassured without greed?
Unlike Sarutobi Hiruzen, who uses fetters to bind people, Danzo uses benefits to bind others.
There is no doubt that Danzo will feel more at ease now that he shows how greedy he is.
Sure enough, after Toneri withstood the pressure without any expression and remained in a stalemate for a while, Danzo smiled.
"I know that you have three attributes: fire, earth and water. The Uchiha clan is famous for the fire escape ninjutsu in Konoha. The strongest one is the Uchiha, and the earth escape ninjutsu is really famous in Konoha.
There are not many people who are good at Ninjutsu, but there is one person who is particularly good at Water Release Ninjutsu.
The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, is Hiruzen and I’s teacher.
The fire escape ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan is not taught to outsiders, but the water escape ninjutsu of our teacher Senju Tobirama is not difficult for me to acquire."
Danzo said a lot and took out a scroll again.
It is obvious that the combined value of this water escape ninjutsu scroll belonging to the Second Hokage and the medical ninjutsu manuscript of Yakushi Nonou is not much weaker than a forbidden jutsu in the Sealed Book.
Toneri took the scroll from Danzo's hand with some excitement.
At this moment, Shimura Danzo became a money-giving boy in his eyes. From the first time he saw him, he has provided ninjutsu scrolls to Toneri three times.
Although he was forced to go through several unnecessary troubles because of him, his ability to give benefits was indeed much stronger than that of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
No wonder Orochimaru couldn't resist the temptation and chose to cooperate with him. His ability to spend a lot of money is obvious to all.
Because of Kushina's kidnapping incident, Sarutobi Hiruzen banned her for a year, but no action was taken. Now that she has finally been released, it seems that she is about to make a big move.
"Do you remember what I told you? I can give you what Sarutobi Hiruzen can give you, and I can give you what he can't give you. You are a smart person and you should know how to choose."
Danzo has never hidden his desire for the position of Hokage.
Shiren nodded silently.
Danzo waved his hand: "Let's go. During the next period of time, I will think about the medical ninjutsu. The time when I need you to appear is not far away."
"yes!"
Without hesitation, he turned around and left.
After Toneri left, a dark shadow slowly appeared next to Danzo and said with some respect: "Sir Danzo, I think this brat is not suitable for Gen."
What are the roots?
It is the Darkness of Konoha, it is decisive in killing, it is ruthless, it is a group of robots that only need to obey orders, but Toneri is incompatible with the whole root.
Danzo glanced at this person gently from the corner of his eye and said calmly:
"From the first time I met him, I knew that he was not bound by fundamental brainwashing methods.
But his loyalty was not what I wanted from the beginning.
He is a smart man who knows how to assess the situation. He will be loyal to neither me nor Hiruzen Sarutobi. He is only loyal to the winner, to the person who can benefit him and help him grow."
The man standing behind Danzo said nothing. If he raised an objection, he was already overstepping his bounds.
Danzo squinted his eyes and looked at the direction in which Toneri disappeared, and the smile on his lips looked a little charming: "And... my things have not been so easy to collect from the beginning."
...
"It is true that Danzo is more generous than Danzo, but it is indeed not easy to collect his things. Sooner or later, you will have to pay back whatever you collect.
However, in that case, it seems that it won’t work if we don’t close it. If we don’t close it, we may not even be able to get out of the root gate... It’s troublesome..."
Toneri put his hands behind his head and walked slowly towards his laboratory.
As the laboratory was gradually improved and the decoration of the cattery began to show results, the Nara family stopped going back so diligently.
"But it's okay, they are all good things. Some people work hard all their lives and can't get these. Now I am swinging back and forth between Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, and I can get so many benefits.
No wonder there are so many wallflowers, the benefits are really tempting.
Ah—I hate wallflowers!"
With brisk steps, he disappeared into the night.
...
...
Three days later.
In Uchiha Yoshinari's ward, Tsunade held a small meeting for Toneri and the other three.
Uchiha Yoshinari, who was recovering well, and Tsunade, who looked a little haggard, were not in high spirits in the ward.
Tsunade looked at the three students who had been together for more than a year, barely suppressed her inner sorrow, and showed an ugly smile.
"Don't look like you are crying. You have completed an extremely difficult S-level mission this time. Isn't this what you have been pursuing?
Difficult missions and generous rewards. From now on, the S-level mission column on your ninja resume will no longer be blank. This is definitely something worth celebrating for your ninja career!"
I don't know why, but the more they listened to Tsunade, the worse their mood became.
In addition to Toneri, the young and energetic Uchiha Yoshinari and Nara Yoshino, whose self-confidence is gradually increasing, have indeed been looking forward to S-level missions from very early on, but only after they were actually exposed to S-level missions did they
Discover how ignorant and insignificant you are.
The fact that Tsunade suffered from hemophobia was not spread in Konoha, but her three students and participants in the mission knew about it.
The only good thing is that Tsunade's hemophobia is not as serious as Tonero imagined. She won't feel dizzy and weak at the sight of blood. She can't help but feel sick in her stomach, and instinctively can no longer dare to look directly.
blood.
Although it was not that serious, it also affected her work as a medical ninja and the execution of her mission.
"For a period of time from now on, you will still be the same as before, with Shiren leading the team and continuing to complete tasks. Teacher, I may need to take a short break."
Tsunade stood up and walked towards the door.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Uchiha Yoshinari and Nara Yoshino, as a originally strong person, he was unwilling to show his weak side, especially in front of his disciples.
Watching the somewhat decadent Tsunade leave, the room fell into silence again.
After this mission, all three of them have changed a lot.
Toneri gradually came into the sight of Konoha's special jounin and the jounin group. They all knew that there was a guy who called himself "Konoha Little White Fang". He had a strength comparable to that of a jounin in a short period of time. He was a young man.
The leader of a generation.
The originally arrogant Uchiha Yoshinari has tempered his arrogant character and realized his shortcomings through this mission.
And Nara Yoshino has also become stronger. After witnessing the death and serious injury of her companions, and being rescued by Uchiha Yoshinari, she has become stronger and dared to face her heart.
I have to say that although this mission is difficult, their changes, especially their internal changes, are very obvious.
After a long time, Yoshinari Uchiha, who was the only one lying on the hospital bed, slowly said: "Toneri, help me!"
"Um?"
Shiren looked at him with some confusion.
"Help me! Help me upgrade the Sharingan to a double magatama. The single magatama's sharingan only has the ability to capture motion, while the double magatama's sharingan has a huge increase in genjutsu and pupil techniques. It will definitely make us
The team's strength has become stronger, help me activate the double magatama!"
Sheren: "..."
He patted his forehead helplessly and said, "Yoshicheng, your Sharingan awakening is purely a coincidence, let alone the double magatama? I can't help you on this point."
Originally, it was because of the Thousand-Year Kill and Sacrifice, but now he actually wants to use the Thousand-Year Kill to advance to Double Magatama.
The reason why it helped him awaken that time was simply because it made him feel the ultimate spiritual stimulation.
And it must be done unexpectedly. Nothing prepared in advance will have any effect.
After hearing Toneri's words, Uchiha Yoshinari was still a little disappointed even though he had the answer in his heart.
But then, he said: "In that case, let's train together in the future! I will definitely become stronger by training with you."
"And me! I want to come too!"
Looking at the excited Nara Yoshino and the determined Uchiha Yoshinari.
"Are you...sure?"
They both nodded.
They applied to become tool workers themselves, not because they were forced to do so!
"I understand, but your injuries haven't recovered yet. When you recover, you can train together and have a good rest first."
After chatting for a while, they left Uchiha Yoshinari's ward. This time, it seemed that they were not the only two old friends in the hospital.
Just as he walked out of the ward, he saw Minato, who was still wrapped in some gauze, also walking out of the ward.
"Minato." Toneri greeted with a smile.
However, Minato's expression was not as relaxed as expected.
"What's wrong?"
Minato waved to him.
The two jumped out of the window in the hospital corridor and ran all the way to their usual training place.
"Tsunade-sama may not be in a good condition, so I didn't tell you. Just now, Mr. Mumu Kūdō told me something very important to us." Minato looked serious.
"Um?"
"The Chuunin Examination may be held soon."
"Chunin exam?"
Shiren was still a little surprised.
According to wartime policies, genin do not need to pass the chunin exam to be promoted to chunin. As long as they are recommended by two or more chunin and pass a simple strength test, they can become chunin.
If it is recommended by a Jonin, only one person is enough.
Following the principle of keeping everything simple during wartime, all the hidden villages have a tacit understanding with each other.
"But according to the current situation, although the war was officially ended after the three countries signed a peace agreement, the wartime establishment of each country has not been removed. Each hidden village has arranged a huge number of troops at the border. The war
It could break out again at any time.
What's more, we in Konoha were at war with Sunagakure Village yesterday, looking like they might start a war at any time.
Chunin exams during wartime?
I’m afraid everyone in the hidden villages won’t agree with this, right?”
Toneri thought that in such a tense situation, Konoha, which was short of personnel, would arrange for genin of his and Minato's strength to be directly promoted to chunin according to the wartime system.
In his impression, Kakashi, who would go to ninja school at the age of five, successfully applied for graduation in less than a year, and became a chuunin at the age of six as quickly as possible, which was in line with the tense situation at that time.
It has a lot to do with it being a wartime policy.
"No... quite the opposite...
Just yesterday, the Chunin Examination, initiated by Iwagakure and covering the entire ninja world, was approved by the other three major Hidden Villages except Konoha."
Hearing this, Shiren's eyes widened.
"What do you mean? Does it mean that we have to go to Iwagakure Village to take the Chunin Exam? I'm afraid that we will go there but not come back."
"The location of the Chunin Examination is not in Iwagakure Village, and other Hidden Villages are not that stupid. Finally, taking into account the concerns of each Hidden Village, the location of the Chunin Examination was chosen in the Rain Country, which is located in the middle of the three major countries."
There was silence for a long time, since Minato was so sure, then there must really be a Chuunin exam to take this time.
His dream of being directly promoted to Chunin was shattered.
"Where did Master Gongdao get this news?"
"Just last night, the Third Generation summoned all the Jonin still in the village and announced this matter.
But I heard that Tsunade-sama did not participate due to physical reasons." Minato said.
In other words, this matter is indeed more important to them.
According to Toneri's foresight, not long after the Second Ninja War ended, the Third Ninja War would begin. At worst, he would give up on the Chunin Exam, wait a few years, become a Genin for a few years, and wait until the wartime policy
When executed again, he will definitely be one of the first to be promoted to chuunin.
To others, being a genin for ten thousand years may not be a glorious thing, but only he knows that genin is the most special existence in Konoha.
I am a genin and I am proud!
But just because he thinks so, it doesn't mean that others think so too.
The beginning of the Chunin Examination means that all the hidden villages have ended the wartime system and officially entered the peace period. It is precisely because of this that all the hidden villages expressed their agreement at the first time. If anyone disagrees, they will
It means I still want to fight.
Then... this hidden village will most likely become the target of public attack and be attacked by the crowd.
"This old guy Ohnoki is still too shrewd. No wonder people say that short people are smarter because the blood in their bodies flows into the brain faster...
This short old thief is a thief!"
Shiren roared crazily in his heart.
You don't need to think about it to know that this is a damaging move that the bastard Onoki, the third Tsuchikage, came up with.
Iwagakure Village suffered a lot due to the failure of the Second Shinobi World War, and was finally attacked by Kumogakure Village. The whole country was already angry, from the daimyos of Earth Country to the ordinary people who were being persecuted.
The residents almost all agreed with the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's policy of fighting hard.
All they need is time.
Therefore, during this period of time, the Kingdom of Earth only controlled the Kingdom of Taki to cause trouble, and did not take any action on its own.
As long as they rest and recuperate for five or six years, if nothing else, the armed forces of Iwagakure Village will definitely be able to look down upon the entire ninja world.
And by doing this, they played into the hands of Sunagakure Village.
Sunagakure Village was being forced by Konoha, so Iwagakure Village extended a "helping hand".
"What about Sand Hidden Village? To end my brother's revenge?"
Even though he knew that this was a definite answer, Shiren still asked.
Minato couldn't help but smile bitterly. Before he started talking to him about this matter, Minato was already prepared to be asked this question.
He took a deep breath and exhaled it, as if this way he could vent his dissatisfaction: "Two powerful men, Orochimaru-sama and Hatake Sakumo-sama, were originally planning to attack the Kingdom of Wind directly to ask for an explanation.
But he was stopped at the critical moment by the Third Generation.
The final result of the discussion was... Let’s use this Chunin Exam as a bet. As long as our genin of Konoha can defeat the genin of Sunagakure Village, they will compensate us, and other hidden villages cannot interfere."
"What if we lose?"
"Let's let this matter go!"
"Huh -" Toneri also let out a long breath, and then said: "Presumably other hidden villages have supported Sunagakure Village from their perspective on this matter, right? This must include Iwagakure Village, saying
Maybe there is also Kumogakure, our 'ally' in Konoha."
"Huh?" Minato was stunned, but he didn't hear Mu Mu Kung Dao talk about this, "How do you know?"
Toneri couldn't help but snort, with a bit of disdain in his voice, expressing his disdain for the dirty relationships and activities among these Dayin Villages.
"Hmph - you don't need to think about it to know that we Konoha have always occupied the most fertile land and the most abundant resources, and are a thorn in the eyes of other hidden villages. If we get a lot of benefits from Sunagakure Village, then Konoha will
The losses in the Second Ninja War will be quickly replenished.
Coupled with our strong self-recuperation ability, they are all afraid that we will become too strong, even the Yunyin Village as an 'ally'."
Obviously the relationship between Iwagakure and Kumogakure is on the same level, and the relationship between Sunagakure and Iwagakure is not good, but at this juncture, they all stand together because they don't want to watch Konoha change.
To become stronger, they were afraid that Konoha would be strong enough to pacify the entire ninja world.
This is the way big countries get along with each other. There are only permanent interests and no permanent friends. No matter how good the words are, they are just words.
After listening to Toneri's words, Minato showed a thoughtful expression.
He immediately laughed and said, "In that case, let them see the strength of our Konoha. As long as they defeat Sunagakure Village, they should spit out nothing less.
We are all over the top, as long as we win the entire Chunin Exam, isn't it enough?"
Seeing the confident smile on Minato's face, Toneri felt despair in his heart.
He didn't want to take part in this bullshit Chuunin exam. As long as he waited a few more years until the wartime system started again, it wouldn't be a matter of minutes for him to become a Chunin. It wouldn't even take long to become a Jonin.
Why do you have to force me like this?
Suddenly, Shiren's eyes lit up and he thought of a good idea.
The Chuunin Exams are still some time away, and the puppet technique of Sunagakure Village may be of great use in this matter.
Anyway, we have already broken up with Sunagakure Village, so there is no need to hide it.
"I made a decision!"
"Huh?" Toneri was thinking about it, but his thoughts were interrupted by Minato's shout.
"When I become Hokage in the future, I will ask you to be my secretary. Tonero, you have such a smart mind. It would be a pity if you don't use it."
Sheren: "..."
But the look on Minato's face didn't seem like he was joking.
Anyway, I didn’t know that it was going to happen in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse, so Shiren bowed “respectfully” and said, “Yes, yes, yes—Sir Yongdaimei!”
"Hahahaha - come on, let's start special training for the Chuunin exam today?!"
While talking, Minato ripped off the gauze on his body.
His injury itself was not serious, and after treatment, he recovered surprisingly quickly.
"Come on, Master Yongdaimei wants to spar, I will definitely accompany you!"
Throughout the scene and content of the exchange between Toner and Minato, there was a wretched old man smiling with an evil eyebrow, nodding and smoking, looking very pleased.
"As long as there are leaves flying, fire will burn, the shadow of the fire will shine on the village, and new leaves will sprout...
The new leaves of Konoha are beginning to grow!"
