The funeral of the Third Hokage has ended.

However, the chaos within the Konoha Village has just begun.

The first matter of concern is the need for a new Hokage in the village. This issue needs to be resolved quickly; only a new Hokage can reassure the people, and Jiraiya has been tasked with handling this.

The second issue concerns the Mist and Sand Villages. The ninjas who stirred up riots from these villages are still locked up in prison.

During the Chunin Exams, the Sand and Mist Villages, along with other smaller ninja villages, caused turmoil in the Konoha. The question now is whether to declare war on them or to seek immediate peace to avoid involving the Rock and Cloud Villages, potentially triggering a great ninja war.

However, a message requesting peace was soon received from the Sand Village.

This is because the ninja of the Sand found the body of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who was killed by Orochimaru, even his face dissolved away.

A message also arrived quickly from the Mist Village.

They were deceived by Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo, and the Mist ninjas also found the body of the elder Genji, hoping the Konoha could forgive them for being manipulated.

Inside the Hokage building.

Two Hokage advisors plan to agree to negotiations.

However, Akihara Kagura strongly disagrees with peace negotiations.

This was his opportunity to use it as a pretext to attack the Sand and Mist Villages and use Wood Release to absorb the chakra of the ninjas from these villages.

"We must teach them a lesson."

Akihara Kagura, like Shimura Danzo, adopts a very tough external stance: "If we forgive even this, then the death of the Third Hokage would be too cheap."

"This isn't the time for war..."

"I am an advisor to the Hokage." f𝚛𝗲𝐞𝐰e𝗯n𝗼v𝗲𝚕.𝚌o𝐦

Akihara Kagura cut off the two Hokage advisors, looking at them: "Shouldn't I decide before a new Hokage is elected in the village?"

"But the war..."

Homura Mitokado hurriedly tried to stop Akihara Kagura.

"Ninjas must not fear sacrifice."

Akihara Kagura smiled at Homura Mitokado and continued: "Are the two respected advisors afraid to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the Konoha?"

"I am not afraid of sacrifice!"

Homura Mitokado stood up abruptly, his voice deep: "I am worried that attacking the two ninja villages at this time will be exploited by other enemy countries..."

"Don't worry about that."

Akihara Kagura looked at him somewhat surprised: "If I lead the Root alone, I can solve them and force them to surrender completely to Konoha..."

"If it can be resolved through negotiation, we should try to do so..."

Koharu Utatane sighed, took the initiative to explain: "If they can agree to our harsh conditions, there's no need to make an extra trip, isn't it? Starting a fight needlessly will only bring more hatred..."

Akihara Kagura definitely did not want to give up this opportunity, tapping his fingers lightly on the table: "This will also deter other major villages from thinking they can approach us if something happens in the Konoha..."

"Lord Kagura, Lord Advisor!"

A jonin responsible for patrolling the village after the war hurriedly came to report: "A small team from the Rock Village sneaked into our village and we repelled them..."

"To kill a chicken to scare the monkeys."

Akihara Kagura glanced at the two Hokage advisors.

"Lord Kagura, Lord Advisor!"

A member of the Anbu also came to report an emergency situation, looking grim: "There are unknown enemies who have sneaked into the village, and the village's guarding ninjas have been hit with an illusion..."

"Go ahead."

Akihara Kagura waved his hand and slowly stood up to instruct: "Continue to strengthen patrols, continue to investigate whether there are other enemies sneaking in."

"By the way, where is Teacher Jiraiya?"

Akihara Kagura looked at the two Hokage advisors.

"He should be on the rooftop?"

Homura Mitokado hesitated and thought about it.

On the rooftop of the Hokage building.

Jiraiya and Hatake Kakashi were both here.

Because Jiraiya and Hatake Kakashi both had things they wanted to talk about with each other.

"What a hassle..."

Jiraiya stood there, overlooking the entire village, and sighed: "Those two stubborn old men still won't let him take over the position of Hokage, dragging many matters unresolved..."

"He still hasn't taken over the position of Hokage?"

Hatake Kakashi lowered his head and suddenly brought up a matter: "During the Chunin Exam, only the Third Hokage was sacrificed..."

"It's thanks to Kagura."

Jiraiya nodded, continuing: "I know all about it. If it weren't for his timely arrival, probably more people would have died..."

"But..."

Hatake Kakashi had witnessed the entire battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru on the day of the Chunin Exam, and he continued softly: "That day, Orochimaru brought up something, Danzo was captured everything was within their plan, Danzo would persuade Kagura to do something..."

"..."

Jiraiya fell silent.

This tall man sighed and shook his head: "Don't worry about this issue. I trust Kagura's judgment. I took him outside for training for two years. Although his actions and thoughts are somewhat extreme, most of the time he is a child who listens to advice..."

"Alright."

Jiraiya skipped over the topic of Kagura, talking about his own matters: "Hand Naruto over to me. Although the old man asked you to monitor Naruto, it was a good choice, but now the situation has become so complex that even you can't handle it..."

"I've been monitoring that guy Orochimaru. I know he once joined an organization, that organization has a quite dangerous mode of operation, recruiting many S-rank rogue ninjas, they have a quite grand goal..."

As Jiraiya spoke here, he remembered the exchanges between his own students in the past, and sighed again: "Perhaps their goal is not as dangerous as Kagura's idea..."

"..."

Hatake Kakashi's eyes twitched, and he took the initiative to ask: "Will they harm Naruto?"

"Maybe they will, maybe not."

Jiraiya shook his head, continuing: "But sooner or later, Naruto will have a conflict with them, and it will be very dangerous then..."

Because...

Naruto had signed the summoning contract of Mount Myoboku.

In a sense, Uzumaki Naruto is also his student.

Jiraiya was very clear about his students, Nagato leading the dangerous Akatsuki organization, perhaps is the child of prophecy, perhaps not, but aimed to revolutionize the ninja world, just in a dangerous way;

Uzumaki Naruto was born in the Konoha, sealed inside him the strongest tailed beast Kurama, perhaps he might also be the child of prophecy, this little guy also has quite excellent ninja potential, very likely to also revolutionize the ninja world.

According to the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage and Jiraiya's judgment, the two people who want to revolutionize the ninja world will sooner or later collide.

Jiraiya could not let Uzumaki Naruto continue to stay by Hatake Kakashi's side, he wanted to teach Uzumaki Naruto in his own way, to help the little guy grow up quickly.

Hatake Kakashi frowned, continuing to ask: "But, with Kagura in the village, shouldn't the village be safer?"

"Kagura can't always protect him."

Jiraiya shook his head, his expression very serious: "Kagura indeed has the responsibility to protect Konoha, but to carry all the responsibility on his back is too much for him..."

"That's not what I meant..."

Hatake Kakashi hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mean this.

"You also need to work hard in your training, and your student Uchiha Sasuke must grow up quickly."

"!!!"

Hatake Kakashi's face suddenly changed.

"I will take Naruto out of Konoha for a while."

Jiraiya stood up straight, continuing: "That kid who always clamors about wanting to become Hokage, this time he should be able to help!"

Jiraiya planned to take Uzumaki Naruto to meet Tsunade, as he and the two Hokage advisors had agreed, to bring Tsunade back to take up the position of the Fifth Hokage.

However...

Tsunade might not agree.

Jiraiya believed that Uzumaki Naruto had the potential to be recognized by Tsunade, and wanted to take Uzumaki Naruto out with him, also to facilitate teaching his training.

"..."

Hatake Kakashi did not respond.

Because Hatake Kakashi was still thinking about Jiraiya's words.

If Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito were both in that organization, he and his student Uchiha Sasuke would sooner or later have a conflict with that organization...

But...

Hatake Kakashi stretched out his hand, then slowly clenched it into a fist. Could he really do as Jiraiya said, strike down Uchiha Obito ruthlessly?

"Never mind."

Hatake Kakashi sighed, his mind recalling another person in that organization: "If Uchiha Itachi is also in that organization, then Sasuke must grow up quickly..."

Hatake Kakashi planned to set a time with Uchiha Sasuke, to have a good talk with his student about how to use the Sharingan and about training.

Inside the Konoha Village.

Two figures wearing conical hats sat in a shop.

These two people were dressed in black robes with auspicious clouds, calmly enjoying their lunch, although this meal was just a plate of natto, a few skewers of tricolor dumplings, and a cup of sweet soup.

One of them was eating very seriously, gently picking up a skewer of tricolor dumplings and chewing on the sweetness oozing out of the dumplings.

"Does the food from our hometown still taste the same as before?"

Another person grinned and asked, slowly raising his head, revealing a fierce and terrifying shark face, it was Hoshigaki Kisame, a member of the Akatsuki organization and an S-rank rogue ninja from the Mist Village.

"..."

However...

Under the conical hats.

It was a face that the ninjas of the Konoha deeply hated.

Uchiha Itachi, a member of the Akatsuki organization and an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha.

"This place is very dangerous."

Uchiha Itachi did not answer Hoshigaki Kisame's words, just softly reminded: "Once we are discovered, we could be killed at any time..."

"Are you worried about Akihara Kagura, who once defeated you?"

Hoshigaki Kisame was not concerned about Uchiha Itachi's reminder, even somewhat interested: "If there's a chance, I really want to have a good fight with him..."

"Let's not talk big."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head, his gaze noticing some Konoha jonin also came to this small shop to gather, even very familiar Hatake Kakashi, and Kakashi's student Uchiha Sasuke, he said softly: "Kisame, we should leave."

"Alright then."

Hoshigaki Kisame picked up the bandaged giant sword beside him.

As they were leaving, Hatake Kakashi noticed them, quietly instructed a nearby companion Sarutobi Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi, signaling them to intercept those two figures wearing black robes with auspicious clouds.

"What's wrong?"

Uchiha Sasuke curiously looked at Hatake Kakashi, his peripheral vision just catching sight of the tricolor dumplings and natto on the table in the small shop, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes: "I hate natto and sweet things the most..."

"You go train first."

Hatake Kakashi sent away his student.

After Uchiha Sasuke left, Hatake Kakashi's gaze became somewhat solemn, and he swiftly ran towards the direction Sarutobi Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi had left!

Elsewhere.

On a small path by the Naka River.

Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Itachi were still chatting.

"The leader of the organization doesn't seem to have sent us here on a mission..."

Hoshigaki Kisame was carrying Samehada, the giant sword, chuckling: "But since we're here, why not take the opportunity to take away the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of the Konoha, after all, Akatsuki also needs the tailed beasts."

"It's still too early..."

Because of the riot during the Konoha Chunin Exam, Uchiha Itachi came to his hometown under the pretext of scouting intelligence. He was somewhat worried that the death of the Third Hokage would cause the agreement he had with the Third Hokage to become invalid, fearing that his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke would encounter danger.

At this time...

Uchiha Itachi wanted to talk with Akihara Kagura, hoping that Akihara Kagura would continue to abide by the agreement and not give up the agreement because of the death of the Third Hokage.

Honestly.

This negotiation was a bit dangerous.

Uchiha Itachi was a bit unsure in his heart.

Because Uchiha Itachi was very worried that after the death of the Third Hokage, Akihara Kagura might completely lose control and kill him on sight...

This possibility was a bit too great.

However...

Uchiha Itachi soon had no mood to think about it.

Because their whereabouts had already been discovered, Konoha jonin Sarutobi Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi received a signal from Hatake Kakashi, continuously tracking their traces, finally intercepting them, clearly wanting to investigate their true identities.

"Take off your conical hats."

Sarutobi Asuma's mouth held a cigarette, he spoke leisurely: "Appearing in the Konoha at this time in disguise, it seems like the comers are not kind..."

"Mr. Asuma, Miss Kurenai."

Uchiha Itachi stretched out his arm to undo the buttons of the black robe with auspicious clouds, revealing one hand to take off the conical hat on his head, the hometown breeze dispersing his hair.

"Uchiha... Itachi."

Sarutobi Asuma's eyes gradually became solemn.

Because on the night of the clan massacre, Uchiha Itachi, controlling the Susanoo and the Three-Tails, made too much noise, brazenly using the Tailed Beast Ball to slaughter his own clan, this cruel and terrifying method is still deeply etched in the minds of the Konoha ninjas.

"Hoshigaki Kisame."

Hoshigaki Kisame took off his conical hat, introduced himself with a sentence, his smile was very ferocious: "Mr. Itachi, I thought your only acquaintance in Konoha was that guy Akihara Kagura!"
