Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

Chapter 313 53 years

The 52nd year of Konoha.

Yukito left Konoha reluctantly.

She has become accustomed to life in the Hatake family, but as a Jinchūriki, she is never in control of her own destiny.

Konoha entered a stage of rapid development. On the Hokage Rock, Orochimaru's flowing long hair was out of tune with the other three Hokage, but no one questioned whether the Fourth Hokage should have been engraved there so early.

Orochimaru did not adopt the same conciliatory policy as Hiruzen. Instead, he was quite ruthless. While vigorously developing various industries, he also strengthened his military strength.

The graduation requirements of Konoha School have become more stringent, and the average strength of the ninjas has become stronger due to the opening of the exchange of ninjutsu.

Most of the secret techniques are still controlled by the major families. This is a guarantee for the major families, but civilian ninjas also have a real chance to come to the fore, instead of relying on hidden bloodlines or real amazing talents to squeeze into the upper class.

It is true that there is still a gap in the speed of training, but Orochimaru's reputation is at its peak and unstoppable.

In the fifty-third year of Konoha, small-scale friction occurred again on the border between Konoha and Cloud Shinobi.

Under the leadership of the Fourth Hokage, Ai, the Cloud Ninjas tended to be more militant.

Under the leadership of Orochimaru, Konoha will not give up an inch of territory. If anyone offends me, I will offend him.

The two major ninja villages were at loggerheads, completely forgetting that the Third Shinobi World War had only been over for two years.

The honeymoon period ended abruptly, but completely understandably.

However, neither Orochimaru nor Ai was stupid. Neither of them chose to start a war. They only engaged in small-scale frictions and assassinations.

After all, whether it was the Second Shinobi World War or the Third Shinobi World War, they both illustrated one problem: whichever side started the war first would not gain anything, but would instead suffer great losses.

As the investigation progressed, both Konoha and Cloud Ninja discovered a problem.

That was the origin of this dispute. It was not caused by either of the two villages, but by the ninjas from the Mist Village.

Mist Village?

At this time, many people discovered that since the Third Shinobi World War, there seemed to be no news from the Mist Village for a long time. What were these water ghosts doing secretly on the island?

Because Obito created the Bloody Mist Village in the Mist Village and cut off diplomatic relations, he was also constantly breeding and fighting internally.

Not only were almost all the spies from the major ninja villages dead, but even the family ninjas of the Mist Village, the Bloody Ninjas, were almost wiped out.

After Obito's mess, not only did the ninjas in the Land of Water have a hard time living, but even the civilians were affected.

The economy has declined sharply, and prices in the Water Kingdom have skyrocketed. In addition, most of the island's industries require land resources to supply. The scarce resources have caused the Water Kingdom's economic collapse to accelerate. As a country on an island, a portion of seafood can even be sold for 500,000 Ma...two cents.

The ninjas, led by the remaining four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, were even more dissatisfied with this dark rule and fled from the Mist Village.

But those who were able to escape were all strong. Most ninjas were killed in the sea before escaping from the Water Country.

These strong men who escaped are all rebel ninjas. Once they become rebel ninjas, they don’t care about ninja regulations, such as not attacking ordinary people, and being careful not to provoke war. They can throw all of them out of the window and do whatever they want!

Therefore, the small countries along the border between the Fire Nation and the Lightning Nation suffered.

The Mist Ninjas dispersed, and few of them were willing to cause chaos in the territory of a big country. Instead, they all ran to the small countries and claimed to be the masters. The chaos spread and inevitably affected the Fire Country and the Lightning Country.

Konoha Hokage's Office.

Orochimaru looked at the intelligence document in his hand, chuckled, and looked at Nara Shikaku next to him.

"Call Jiraiya... No, what is Hiruko doing?"

"Lord Yondaime, Hiroyuki is there."

Shikaku didn't even raise his head as he was busy annotating the Hokage documents for Orochimaru, but he raised his left hand and pointed outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the office.

Orochimaru looked in that direction and saw Hokage Rock and the ugly graffiti on it.

"?"

Why do other Hokage have words like "idiot" and "pig head" painted on their faces, but Orochimaru's portrait has "ugly" painted on it?

Why is it that I’m stuck at the Hokage Rock?

"Hahahaha~ How about it, isn't it interesting?"

"So funny! Big Brother Biluhu! Hahahaha~"

Naruto hasn't even fully grown his arms and legs yet, but he's already mastered traditional skills, so being naughty and mischievous is a given. (Is it common in the ninja world for two or three-year-olds to run around?)

Hiruko didn't quite understand why, but even though Minato and Kushina were still alive, Naruto still liked to play pranks, as if it was in his genes.

"Come on, Naruto, help me carry the bucket."

Hiruko hung the brush and paint bucket in his hand around Naruto's neck. The boy was very proud of himself and admired their masterpiece.

The next moment, a fist hit Naruto's head.

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

"Aah~"

Knocked down by a punch, all the paint in the bucket poured onto Naruto's head, turning him into a little red man.

"Ebisu, you're here. This kid is causing trouble on Hokage Rock again. I only got there one step before you."

Hiruko said to Ebisu solemnly.

"Insulting the Hokage of all generations is not a good sign. Naruto needs you to discipline him properly. If everyone in the village knew that the son of Minato Namikaze, the principal of Konoha School, was actually a troublemaker..."

“Private Marseille!!!”

Ebisu bowed sharply to Hiruhu.

"I will teach Naruto well. I am really sorry for causing you trouble!!"

"What the hell! Ugh—"

As soon as Naruto opened his mouth, paint flowed into it.

"It's obviously Beiliu calling big brother vomit - it's obviously vomit -"

"Okay Naruto."

Hiruhu held Naruto's head.

"Don't be so naughty next time, Ebisu, take him back."

"Yes, Lord Beiliuhu!"

Ebisu didn't give Naruto any time to argue as he pulled him by the ear and left the Hokage Rock.

Swah——

A masked Anbu ninja appeared in front of Hiruhu.

"Hiroshiru, the Yondaime-sama wants you to go to the Hokage's office."

"Oh? Yamato? Changed your mask?"

"Hey? Hehe, since you've discovered me, Master Beiliuhu, you should still call me Tianzang."

"Yamato, that sounds nice. By the way, that Ebisu kid runs fast, so you have to clean up here."

Having said that, without giving Tenzo a chance to react, Hiruhu flashed towards the direction of the Hokage's office.

While Tenzang was stunned for a moment, Hiruhu disappeared. Then Tenzang looked at the graffiti all over the Hokage Rock, feeling like crying but unable to do so.

In the village, ninjas, especially Anbu ninjas, are not allowed to use ninjutsu casually.

Things like using Wood Release to build a house are things that only the first generation can do.

Therefore, the paint on the Hokage Rock can only be wiped off bit by bit by hand!

Beiliuhu really found a good job for him!

Tianzang gritted his teeth and pulled off the mask, replacing it with another mask he was familiar with.

It has clearly been changed, how did you recognize it?

bang-

The door to the Hokage's office was kicked open.

Lu Jiu's ears moved, and he judged from the strength and habit that it was Beilu's call, and then he pretended not to hear it without even raising his head.

"Shikaku is here too. Let's have a fight sometime. I graduated from the Ninja Academy and became a great Genin!"

But Hiruko didn't let him go and sat down directly on the desk where he was correcting the Hokage documents.

Lu Jiu raised his head, smiled awkwardly and pointed to the side.

"Mr. Hiruko, the Fourth Hokage is looking for you."

"Cut~"

Hiruhu waved his hand dismissively and turned to look at Orochimaru.

"Why are you looking for me? I'm not an Anbu ninja. Can I not accept the mission?"

"How about taking a look first and then deciding? Maybe you'll be interested."

Orochimaru smiled faintly and handed the information to Hiruhu.

Beiliuhu took a look and indeed became interested.
