N-A-A Chapter 64: Was Tobirama completely without fault?
Chapter 64: Was Tobirama completely without fault?
According to Danzo Shimura's plan, after the Third Hokage abdicates, he, as the leader of the Root organization, will step forward and rightfully inherit the position of Fifth Hokage.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, both advisors to the Hokage, were people he had worked with, so he couldn't understand how he lost.
But if Tsunade returns to Konoha, then everything will be over.
Tsunade's reputation in Konoha Village was naturally far greater than that of Shimura Danzo.
In terms of strength, prestige, achievements, and popularity, the two are incomparable.
Moreover, Danzo's most important partners, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, the two Hokage advisors, will firmly stand by Tsunade's side.
It's politically correct for a member of the Senju clan to become Hokage.
Moreover, Tsunade is the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
Even if Tsunade herself didn't intend to become Hokage, when that time actually came...
Danzo's eyes were cold.
We must strike first!
The battle for the title of Hokage has always been like this!
He still finds it hard to let go of that night in the Land of Lightning when he was chased by Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
"In this situation, someone has to act as bait to lure them away."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "I'll take care of it. From now on, everyone will be in Danzo's care."
Danzo Shimura: "Shut up, I was going to raise my hand."
The Second Hokage: "Monkey, starting tomorrow, you will be the Hokage."
Whenever Danzo thought of this, his heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe.
That was the closest he ever came to becoming Hokage.
He always felt that it was because he was a little slower than Hiruzen Sarutobi that Hiruzen missed out on the Hokage position.
"If I hadn't been so careful back then..."
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.
Danzo sighed inwardly.
It's all because Hiruzen Sarutobi was incredibly lucky. He reacted without thinking, completely lacking the maturity, composure, and thoughtfulness expected of a Hokage's bodyguard...
Putting aside the facts, Tobirama Senju, didn't you make a single mistake in choosing a monkey as Hokage?
All gone.
Danzo shook his head, no longer dwelling on it.
"Hiruzen is so weak..."
"Tsunade, as his disciple, has been plagued by this ridiculous hemophobia for so long, and she still has the nerve to come back!"
"If we keep letting these insects be Hokage, when will Konoha ever be able to dominate the ninja world?!"
Danzo had a sinister look on his face and a determined look in his eyes.
"The Hokage position will ultimately belong to me, Shimura Danzo!"
"Someone come here!"
"You, go and kill Tsunade!"
Root ninja: "..."
……
Meanwhile, there were also assessments and practical tests conducted in the shadows.
"Uchiha Shota, I never expected you to join the Anbu."
The speaker was Hyuga Yoshitsu, the genius of the branch family of the 8th squad of the Anbu, and also the squad leader of the 8th squad.
"haven't seen you for a long time……"
Shota stared at the other person's familiar white pupils, feeling somewhat dazed.
Facing his destined rival, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan and join the Anbu...
Now, he is about to achieve yet another goal of his:
Defeating Hyuga is enough!
Will I win?
"Although the Hokage has approved your joining the Anbu, if your strength does not satisfy me, Team 8 of the Anbu will not welcome you."
Hinata's eyes bulged with veins, and he activated his Byakugan in preparation for battle.
You're still so arrogant.
The three tomoe slowly appeared in Shota's eyes, then suddenly turned.
This time, we absolutely must win!
The two quickly rushed towards their opponent and began a physical duel.
The Byakugan can provide a 360° field of vision, instantly revealing the opponent's chakra pathways and circulation patterns.
The three-tomoe Sharingan allows Shota to clearly predict all of Hinata Yoshitatsu's movements.
However, he quickly used Fire Release to end the first phase of the collision.
Hinata was able to anticipate Shota's Fireball Jutsu the moment he formed hand seals, and dodged it easily in advance.
"It can barely keep up with my attack rhythm, so it seems the Sharingan does have its merits. But compared to our Hyuga clan's Byakugan, it's still not quite up to par."
Hyuga remained expressionless as he assessed the exchange that had just taken place.
"If that's all you have, you won't pass today's practical test."
Shota was slightly out of breath.
Even though he could rival Hyuga in taijutsu, he still couldn't compete.
too fast.
Although I could predict his attack target, I was completely unable to keep up with his movements.
"Don't get too excited yet. The combat test examines overall combat capabilities, not just physical skills!"
Hyuga Yoshitsu's voice was cold:
"I can see through the flow of your chakra, and I can see through your ninjutsu and taijutsu from the moment you start."
"And your Sharingan genjutsu, which you Uchiha are so proud of, can be easily avoided by deliberately avoiding your eyes."
"So no matter what, you will never be my match."
"In front of me, all you need to do is show me your full strength."
Having experienced the eye-opening genjutsu, Shota believed his mental state had improved significantly, allowing him to ignore the pointing fingers and whispers of the troublemakers in Konoha.
But Hyuga's words still caused his anger level to soar.
You completely disregard the Uchiha clan!
If you bully me before I've awakened my Sharingan, fine. But if you still want to bully me after I've awakened my Sharingan, then what's the point of awakening it?
"Today, I'll show you the difference between the Byakugan and the Sharingan!"
Shota raised his hands to form hand seals, preparing to unleash a ninjutsu.
Seeing this, Hyuga Yoshitsu suddenly burst forward, raising his hand to lock onto Shota's chakra point on his chest.
In a battle between the Hyuga Byakugan and the Uchiha who had activated the three-tomoe mantra, the Hyuga did not have a chakra advantage.
His close-range attack was precisely the sealing technique that Hyuga was most adept at.
By sealing the pressure points that allow Shota to use ninjutsu, the flow of chakra can be disrupted, preventing the opponent from using ninjutsu that could threaten him.
Shota, however, withdrew the moment Shota made his move, simultaneously ceasing his hand seals and throwing ninja tools to stall for time.
Within the three-tomoe sphere of vision, Hyuga Yoshitsu's advance route and attack target were completely seen through from the very beginning.
Hyuga, already facing a barrage of shuriken and kunai, didn't stop. He spun around and unleashed a series of palm strikes, instantly spreading out the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, sending all the ninja tools flying, and continued his pursuit of Shota.
The two engaged in a fierce chase, one chasing and the other fleeing, resulting in a stalemate.
As time and energy were depleted, Hinata was getting closer and closer to Shota.
"With your current physical skills, you can't escape."
Shota finally ran out of energy and revealed a weakness.
Hinata's eyes narrowed, his Byakugan instantly locking onto the moment Hinata's body faltered. He lunged forward with all his might, aiming a palm strike straight for Hinata's vital point, intending to seal his meridians and end the battle with one blow.
Just as he lunged forward, his old strength exhausted and new strength yet to arise—
Shota suddenly exerted his strength, not retreating, but instead actively facing his opponent, using his Sharingan to replicate the same move as Hyuga Yoshikazu, meeting palm with palm.
In the instant the two clashed, a shuriken appeared from behind Hyuga Yoshitsu at an extremely tricky angle, aimed directly at his only blind spot.
By the time he finally realized something was wrong and tried to turn around to defend himself, it was already too late.
Hyuga had successfully sealed the pressure points, but he himself was hit in a blind spot by the Misaka shuriken technique.
long silence.
Hyuga has spoken again:
"I lost."
……
……
Ugh, I spent ages finding images and removing watermarks and ink stains.
