Ninja World: I’m Not a Human Being!

Konoha Village, Intelligence Hall.

A mountain tribesman wearing a helmet suddenly opened his eyes with a look of shock.

"What's wrong?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, frowning.

"Report to Hokage-sama, the frontline battle report, the vanguard of the Hyuga clan was ambushed and the entire army was annihilated, and the patriarch, Hixiang Hizu, was captured." The man hurriedly reported.

Hearing the bad news, everyone in the hall changed their expressions.

However, another intelligence ninja immediately added: "At present, all our troops have reached the village of Hidden Mist, and they are fighting the enemy head-on."

"How many troops are there in Kirigakushi?" Shimura Danzo asked at the side.

"This... According to the information, it seems that the other party has only one person out of the village to fight."

The intelligence ninja hesitated and said with a frown. Obviously, even he himself doubted whether the information sent back from the front was wrong.

"One person? Who is it?" Sarutobi Hizan heard the words, frowned and put down the cigarette bag in his hand, and asked.

"The other party claims to be the fifth generation of water shadows in Wuyin Village, the dried persimmon ghost shark."

While speaking, the intelligence ninja handed over the prepared information on the dried persimmon ghost shark.

Dried persimmon ghost shark?

Sarutobi Hizen seems to have some impressions of this name.

As he flipped through the documents, he finally recalled that it was the Chunin Exam held in Konoha a year ago, and it was this dried persimmon ghost shark who won the first place.

According to intelligence, after that, the ghost shark committed a felony murder and was sent to the Ghost Lantern City Prison to serve his sentence. As a result, for some unknown reason, he suddenly returned to the Hidden Mist Village and became the new Mizukage.

As a fifth generation of water shadows, the biggest highlight of the dried persimmon ghost shark's resume is his age, only fourteen years old.

Other than that, it can't be said to be mediocre, but it's not outstanding either.

I can't see why it is a water shadow.

"It seems that Wuyin Village is indeed exhausted, and there are no masters. Even such a fourteen-year-old kid is introduced as a water shadow. This dried persimmon ghost shark doesn't seem to have any greatness."

Danzo swept through the ghost shark's information and said with disapproval. Go to bed Koharu and Mito Gate Yan, also agree with this.

But Konoha Sannin looked at each other and felt something was wrong.

Sarutobi Hizan noticed the expressions of the three disciples, and asked them curiously, "Do you know anything about this dried persimmon ghost shark?"

When the three heard the words, Orochimaru stood up first and answered:

"Teacher, as far as I know, although the dried persimmon ghost shark is young, it is not the kind of simple-minded warm-blooded kid, but a deep scheming and extremely despicable means. It is impossible for him to make a person to fight against the five thousand army. Behavior, there must be something else behind it.”

Oh?

Sarutobi Hizan was slightly surprised when he heard the words. To get such an evaluation from the mouth of Orochimaru is enough to show that ghost sharks are not simple.

At this time, Jiraiya added:

"I've seen this dried persimmon ghost shark a few times, but I haven't had in-depth contact with him, and I'm not familiar with him. It was Tsunade who made a movie with him, and he knew him the best. And this time we went to rescue Kakashi, I also met a ghost shark. That guy seems to be the only surviving Anbu ninja in Kirigakura Village."

After speaking, he looked at Tsunade.

Under the gazes of everyone, Tsunade took a deep breath and slowly said to Hizan Sarutobi:

"That bastard sneaked into the village some time ago and kidnapped Mute. Hokage-sama, please let me go to the front line, I have to defeat that guy myself and save Mute from him."

Sarutobi Hizan heard the words, pondered for a moment, and then made a calm gesture to Tsunade, telling her not to be impulsive.

"Now that the fog is over, a dried persimmon ghost shark is destined to not be able to cause much storms, let alone change the outcome of this war. We must believe in the Konoha ninjas on the front line, they will definitely bring good news and return triumphantly."

Sarutobi Hizan took a puff of his cigarette and said confidently.

However, just in case, he still asked Minato Namikaze beside him: "Minato, how long will it take you to use the Flying Thunder God technique to get to the frontline battlefield from here?"

Due to other missions, Namikaze Minato was not involved in this battle against Kiriyin.

However, Minato's Flying Thunder God, Kunai, was taken to the front line by Konoha Anbu arranged by Sarutobi Hizan, and several teleportation points were arranged along the way.

"Tell Hokage-sama, I need about ten minutes."

Watergate made an estimate and gave a relatively conservative time.

ten minutes? !

Hearing Minato's answer, everyone was taken aback.

From Konoha Village to Kiriyin mainland, there are thousands of miles between them, but it only takes ten minutes for Minato Namikaze to arrive. This is an exaggeration.

Namikaze Minato is not only the only person who inherited the second-generation Hokage Flying Thunder God's technique, but also improved this technique. With the improved Flying Thunder God, Minato can even treat the entire ninja world as his own back garden.

This is Konoha's "yellow flash", an unprecedented genius.

"Ah, very good."

Sarutobi Hiizhan nodded, relieved a lot, and cast an approving look at Minato. He instructed the latter, "Wait for the next information, it would be best if the front-line troops successfully captured Kiriyin. If there is an accident, you will rush over to support it as soon as possible."

"Yes." Minato Namikaze respectfully responded.

When Orochimaru saw this scene, his face was a little unsightly.

Judging from the current situation, after the end of the Third Ninja World War, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has been a Hokage for 30 years, will definitely retire.

At that time, Konoha will hold the election of the fourth Hokage.

Orochimaru originally had great advantages, but Minato Namikaze's performance has become more and more outstanding recently, which made him feel a serious sense of crisis.

Over the past few years, Orochimaru has been violating the regulations and secretly conducting human experiments in the village, which has attracted the attention of the third generation, and has been repeatedly warned by the latter.

For him, the only way to resolve the current crisis is to become the fourth Hokage.

And if he fails, his fate will probably be more miserable.

Since the beginning of this ninja war, Orochimaru has also worked very hard, but his limelight has been completely overshadowed by the rising star of Namikaze Minato.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru glanced at Danzo and made subtle eye contact with the latter.

Danzo also doesn't like Namikaze Minato.

He and Orochimaru are grasshoppers on a rope, and the latter's research on intercolumnar cells was inspired and funded by him.

And Namikaze Minato, in Danzo's view, is a puppet of Sarutobi Hiizan.

Even if Hiyazaki abdicated, he could continue to manipulate important affairs in the village through Minato, an obedient chess piece.

To deal with Nikki, you must find a way to target Namikaze Minato, so that he can't be the fourth Hokage.

Everyone in the hall had their own thoughts for a while.

Whether it is the Sarutobi family or the alliance of Danzo and Orochimaru, they are planning ahead, intentionally or unintentionally, for the four-generation Hokage election after the war.

But both sides ignored, or never thought about:

What if Konoha loses this war in the end?
