Chapter 616 Reaping the Reward

[Name: Uchiha Shisui]

[Life Mission: Uchiha and Konoha]

[Main goal: eliminate the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha and allow Uchiha to integrate into Konoha]

[Task progress: 46.8%]

The death of Shimura Danzo directly made Shisui's life mission progress become the highest among all disciples. Not only did he reach a settlement node, but he was not far from the next settlement.

But when Mu Yue thought about what Shimura Danzo did in the original work, she felt it was very reasonable.

Shimura Danzo even had to tell him to be careful of Uchiha before he died, reminding him that Uchiha are inherently evil, which shows his attitude towards Uchiha.

Mu Yue looked at the settlement reward that popped up.

[Disciple Uchiha Shisui's strength has been improved to promote the reform of the police force, and he has taken a small step on the road to eliminating the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha. He has received progress rewards - Chakra +1600, optional extraction of scroll fragments·S+ (mastery level), Yin Attribute Ninjutsu Mastery Scroll]

The rewards are almost the same as the 40% settlement for other disciples. Except for the different attributes of the Ninjutsu Mastery Scroll, the other rewards are exactly the same.

But the embarrassing thing is that last time, three disciples just collected three fragments, but this time only Shisui settled the matter, so the fragments were temporarily useless.

Mu Yue closed the reward information and clicked on Obito's life mission.

[Name: Uchiha Obito]

[Mission in life: It is not the person who becomes Hokage who can be recognized by everyone, but the person who is recognized by everyone who can become Hokage]

[Main goal: Become the Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village]

[Task progress: 44.5%]

Obito's life mission progress is not as exaggerated as Shisui's, but it's still pretty good. After all, life missions are difficult and it's not easy to increase his progress.

…

After receiving the notice from Nagato, Yahiko hurried with all his strength and quickly arrived at the Rain Ninja Village.

"Did something happen? Why did you suddenly call me here?" Yahiko was a little confused.

Due to the complexity of the matter, Nagato did not explain the reason when he contacted the Ninja Sect, but just asked Yahiko to come over as soon as possible.

But looking at the peaceful Yu Ninja Village, Yahiko felt that it shouldn't be a big deal.

Knowing that Yahiko had arrived, Nagato activated his senses and quickly found Yahiko.

"Nagato, where is Soyousuke-sensei? Why do you want me to come here all of a sudden?" Yahiko asked when he saw that Nagato was alone.

"Teacher, he is handling the affairs of the Rain Ninja Village." Nagato replied.

Yahiko looked at Nagato with some confusion. Wasn't he invited to watch the Chunin Exam? Why did he help handle the affairs of the Rain Ninja Village? The Rain Ninja Village was so busy that even his own people could not handle it?

Nagato didn't waste any time. He took Yahiko to a no-man's land and explained: "Hanzo is dead, and now Soyousuke-sensei is the real leader of the Rain Ninja Village."

Yahiko was stunned and looked at Nagato with a confused expression.

Why is it getting more and more outrageous? Nagato and Soyousuke just took down the entire Rain Ninja Village just a short time after setting off.

Moreover, he didn't look like Yu Ninja Village had experienced a coup, it looked quite peaceful.

"Actually, this invitation is a conspiracy, Shimura Danzo's conspiracy..." Nagato began to explain the ins and outs to Yahiko in detail.

"I see, no wonder Soyousuke-sensei only brought you." Yahiko sighed.

In this dangerous situation, insufficient strength will not only fail to help Soyousuke, but will also become a burden to Soyousuke.

"Yahiko, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have advised you that night and made you miss the last chance to meet Hanzo." Nagato said with a guilty look on his face.

They expected that this trip to Yu Ninja Village would be quite risky, but in fact Mu Yue easily defeated the enemy.

With one more Yahiko, Muyue doesn't need to take action, Nagato can protect Yahiko himself.

"It's okay. After all, you are also thinking about my safety, so there is no need to apologize." Yahiko smiled and shook his head.

"And now I have the answer in my mind."

It was a pity not to be able to communicate with Hanzo, but after understanding the reasons why Hanzo died and Soyousuke became the leader of the rain ninja, Yahiko's previous doubts have been solved.

"At least, at the last moment, he was truly the demigod Hanzo of the Land of Rain." Yahiko showed a relieved expression.

Hanzo is not a person who always puts the peace of the Rain Country first. He has wavered and had selfish motives.

But Hanzo's choices in life made Yahiko feel that he was worthy of the name of a demigod, and his previous respect for Hanzo was not misplaced.

Nagato showed an expression of approval. This time, he did change his opinion of Hanzo a lot.

Then Nagato took Yahiko to take a look at Hanzo’s portrait.

Yahiko felt that Hanzo didn't look like he died in battle, but rather that he died at the end of his life.

Because there is no trace of unwillingness or hatred in Hanzo's expression, but he looks a little relaxed and happy?

After learning that the Ninja Sect and the Rain Ninja Village were going to deepen their exchanges, Yahiko decisively signed up for Soyousuke.

Now that the Kingdom of Rain has restored peace, the next focus is to strengthen its strength. He wants to let more Rain Ninja know the truest Ninja Sect by working in the Rain Ninja Village.

…

The land of fire, Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was dealing with documents when his mouth suddenly became dry.

He continued to stare at the document, put down the pen with his right hand, and grabbed the tea cup on the office.

Wow!

I don't know what happened, but Sarutobi Hiruzen made a mistake and failed to hold the teacup firmly. The teacup fell to the ground and was smashed, and the tea flowed all over the floor.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the document, took a deep breath, and touched his heart.

"I haven't been working too hard recently, why is this happening all of a sudden?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked puzzled. Just for a moment, he silently had heart palpitations.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and asked the ANBU at the door to come in and clean up the debris while mopping the floor.

Losing a teacup was a trivial matter to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and it was not a precious antique.

The real reason that made Sarutobi Hiruzen unhappy was that he suddenly realized that he was no longer young and could not even hold a tea cup safely.

Returning to the Hokage's office again, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window that had an unobstructed view of Konoha and took a breath.

"Everyone is so uneasy, can I really live in peace of mind in the future?"

From the time he was appointed to take over as Hokage at a critical moment to now, Hiruzen Sarutobi has become a little tired.

If there is a suitable candidate, once the ninja world becomes more stable, Sarutobi Hiruzen will pass down the position of Hokage without hesitation.

He has been at the top for a long time and doesn't have much regard for this power.

Rather than working all day long for Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen longed for a life where he could retire at home and fish when he had time to help educate his grandson.

Maybe he can rejuvenate his educational career and bring his grandson into an excellent ninja like Mu Yue.

The next night.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard someone calling his name, and the voice was somewhat familiar to him.

"Old man, get up quickly, Teacher Muyue is calling you." Asuma said, pushing open the door of Sarutobi Hiruzen's room.

He also heard the sound outside the house, and instantly recognized that it was Mu Yue.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly dressed up and walked out of the bedroom. It was definitely not a small matter for Mu Yue to suddenly come to him at this time.

Asuma wanted to follow, but was driven back mercilessly by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Go to sleep!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a serious face.

If he hadn't felt that Mu Yue was in an emergency and had treated Asuma like he was just a little old, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have had to train Asuma for a while.

"If you don't go, I won't go." Asma said angrily, turning back to her bedroom.

It's not that he's afraid of Sarutobi Hiruzen, it's because Mu Yue didn't call him. If Mu Yue called his name, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't let him or listen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly walked out of the house and saw Mu Yue with a sad face in the yard.

Seeing Mu Yue's expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart suddenly thumped and he felt something bad.

Mu Yue has always been an optimistic and strong person in his impression, and it is definitely not a small matter for Mu Yue to show such an expression.

"Mu Yue, are you okay?" Sarutobi Hiruzen first asked about Mu Yue's status, and then continued:

"What happened? It's okay to ask for some more leave from the sex course. There's no rush."

Sarutobi Hiruzen values ​​​​the training of seeing, hearing and sex, but compared to Muyue itself, a training program is obviously insignificant.

"Sandaime-sama, thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Mu Yue shook her head and replied, then her eyes turned red, "It was Danzo-sama, he, he...sacrificed..."

After speaking, Mu Yue lowered her head slightly, with a look of pain on her face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Mu Yue in disbelief, his oppressive eyes staring at Mu Yue, "You said Danzo died?"

A few days ago, they were drinking and chatting, but they suddenly told him that Shimura Danzo was dead. How could Sarutobi Hiruzen believe it?

If it were a battlefield, it would be normal for the friend who drank and ate meat yesterday to die today, but he did not send Shimura Danzo to the battlefield.

In Konoha, who has the ability to kill a high-ranking Konoha executive quietly.

Mu Yue nodded silently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen trembled slightly and took a step back.

In fact, when Mu Yue first said that Shimura Danzo was dead, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already believed it rationally.

Because the person who spoke was Mu Yue, who was the representative of young ninjas in Konoha and was once a member of the Roots, he had no reason to tell lies about this kind of news.

But this news really made it difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen to remain rational, so he subconsciously resisted and questioned.

But he is the Third Hokage after all, and deceiving himself is not what he should do.

Mu Yue quickly stepped forward and supported Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said that he didn't need it. He just suffered too much impact in a moment, and he wasn't really old.

"Where did he die? Has his body been brought back?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in a deep voice.

Danzo Shimura couldn't have had an accident in Konoha, or even in the Land of Fire.

"In the Kingdom of Rain, the corpse is now at the root base." Mu Yue answered truthfully.

"Except for Danzo-sama, most of the Root ninjas have also died. Currently, there is only one member left in the Root."

Although Mu Yue and Yamato can also be regarded as root members, they are not on the root roster and are not apparently root members.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't speak, just rubbed his frown.

At this moment, he already had some speculations about Shimura Danzo's death.

Danzo Shimura had previously expressed his opinions to Hiruzen Sarutobi, saying that the Ninja Sect should be valued and the ninja power of the Land of Rain should be valued.

Danzo Shimura is now dead in the Land of Rain.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that it was probably because he had no proposal with Shimura Danzo, and then Shimura Danzo acted privately and was overturned and killed.

"Do you know how Danzo died? Why did he go to the Land of Rain? Why did he die in the Land of Rain?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked directly on the way.

Based on Sarutobi Hiruzen's understanding of Shimura Danzo, the root ninja who stayed behind at the root base most likely didn't have any information.

Although Mu Yue is not a member of the Root now, judging from the current situation, he may know a lot.

"I don't know why Lord Danzo went to the Rain Country. He didn't tell me the reason. He just said that there was an important matter that needed my help, and he couldn't tell you, the Sandaime." Mu Yue looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with an apologetic look.

Shimura Danzo was very cautious. The scroll he gave Mu Yue only had instructions for Mu Yue to go to the Rain Country, but didn't say what to do.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression didn't change. This was very Shimura Danzo. It sounded like something Shimura Danzo would do.

"The one who killed Lord Danzo was Sosuke from the Rain Country." Mu Yue's eyes turned red again, and her tone became self-blaming.

"If I had arrived earlier, or told you, the Third Hokage, maybe Danzo-sama would not have died."

"When I arrived, Danzo-sama had been severely injured. Although I immediately used Flying Thunder God to rescue Danzo-sama, it was too late.

Danzo-sama was too seriously injured, and my medical ninjutsu could not cure him. I could only watch Danzo-sama die."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply, as if he could see Mu Yue's joy when she rescued Shimura Danzo, and her self-blame and helplessness when she saw Shimura Danzo's death.

After all, Mu Yue was raised by Shimura Danzo from childhood to adulthood, and Mu Yue could not have no feelings for Shimura Danzo.

"Mu Yue, this is not your fault." Sarutobi Hiruzen put his hand on Mu Yue's shoulder to comfort her.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very sad about the death of his old friend, but from the nature of this matter, it must be Shimura Danzo who was wrong first, not Mu Yue who was slow to rescue.

"But, even if it wasn't faster, but the medical ninjutsu was stronger, maybe Danzo-sama wouldn't..." Mu Yue was still immersed in sad self-blame.

"No ninja can have all the abilities at the same time. If there is, he must be a mediocre ninja. This is not your problem, you are already good enough." Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted.

To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that this was Shimura Danzo's dead end.

Mu Yue himself didn't save him. Even if Mu Yue notified him at the first time, he would be powerless at that time.

The solution is not Mu Yue, but Shimura Danzo himself.

It was Shimura Danzo's own actions that led to his own dead end. Based on the currently known information, Sarutobi Hiruzen made such a judgment.

The two chatted and walked to the root base, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also saw the old friend lying on the ice platform.
