Chapter 548: Senju Night City, the prelude to the outbreak of the Third Ninja War!
Towards the late arrival of Yashiro, Konoha senior officials and people familiar with Yoshiro have long been accustomed to it.
Except for Uchiha Fugaku, the current leader of the Uchiha clan, who was somewhat dissatisfied with Yashiro's behavior, the other big guys present didn't say anything.
Nothing else, because the backstage in Ye City is a bit tough, so if it's a big deal, forget it, but they don't want to be too harsh on such a trivial matter as being late.
Senju Yashiro, just by hearing this surname, you know that Yashiro comes from that family in Konoha.
Although the Senju clan today has declined, it was once the largest clan in Konoha. Even the entire Konoha was founded by the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan.
Ye Cheng is a genius among the now declining Thousand Hands clan, and the clan has high hopes for him.
Not to mention anything else, just because of his status as a member of the "Thousand Hands Clan", everyone present gave him a thumbs-down.
After all, even the current Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, as well as the two advisors beside him, Koharu Koharu and Mito Monobu, are still disciples of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
The First Hokage and the Second Hokage devoted themselves to the whole of Konoha. The Senju clan suffered countless casualties in the previous ninja wars, and there are not many members of the clan left.
Not to mention that Ye Cheng is now a well-known genius in Konoha. Even if he is a bastard, the heads of the clans present will not be too harsh on him due to his own appearance.
What's more, in addition to being a member of the Senju clan, Ye Cheng is also one of the "Three Ninjas of Konoha" and a disciple of Tsunade Hime.
This means that as the disciple of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Yoroki is still a member of the Hokage lineage.
The third-generation old man was holding a pipe in his hand and was standing at the C position in the crowd talking. A group of salted fishes around him kept nodding in agreement, which showed that he had a high prestige.
Since the second generation Hokage died in the Land of Thunder, Sarutobi Hiruzen succeeded the third generation Hokage, and after winning a complete victory in the Second Ninja War, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been able to secure his position as Hokage.
Today's Konoha Village should be considered to be at its most prosperous stage. Sarutobi Hiruzen has even competed with the current Five Shadows in business, becoming the so-called "the strongest of the Five Shadows".
As one of the few remaining members of the Thousand Hands clan, Ye Cheng's status is not lower than others.
But because he is too young, and like Minato, he is only a third-generation disciple of the Hokage lineage, so he is now squeezed into the outermost circle of the crowd.
The other ninja clan leaders were all flattering the third generation, but he and Minato, as the plug-ins behind Jiraiya, didn't even have a chance to speak at this moment.
"This time, Hokage-sama has gathered so many ninja clan leaders in the village, and even called Jiraiya-sama and Orochimaru-sama. It must be a very important matter, right?"
Hearing Minato's curious question, Yashiro thought about the current timeline, then looked at the worried third generation in the crowd, and said with some uncertainty: "Is this going to be the third Ninja War?" Has it started?"
"Don't be ridiculous, since the end of the Second Ninja War, the Ninja World has been peaceful for a long time.
Moreover, no conflicts have broken out among the five major ninja villages. How could the Third Ninja War suddenly break out? "
After hearing what Yashiro said, Minato immediately shook his head in denial, and said that when a war breaks out in the ninja world, there is usually a fuse, but the current ninja world is very peaceful. Although there are some minor frictions between the five major ninja villages, a war will not break out.
"Minato, you are now considered a jounin in Konoha, why are you still so naive in your thoughts?
Is there such a thing as peace in this ninja world? Human desires are endless. Once life becomes comfortable, desires will expand accordingly. The conflicts between the five major ninja villages have been going on for a long time. If you really want to start a fight, you don't need any fuse at all. You can just settle old scores and start a war. "
Ye Cheng was a little scornful of Minato's thoughts, but it was quite normal for Minato to have such thoughts now.
After all, the young man has not really experienced a ninja battle, and he is still young. He still doesn't know the darkness of the ninja world and the methods of those old people.
"Yashiro, do you have any news about Tsunade, or can you find her?"
Yashiro and Minato were still whispering outside, but the next second Sandai's words made everyone present focus on Yashiro.
And the words he just said to Minato were naturally clearly transmitted to the ears of the third generation and others at this moment.
"Ah..., Hokage-sama, and all the seniors from the same village, I was just bragging to Minato.
Especially Hokage-sama, what I just mentioned is definitely not you and Danzo-sama. I hope you don't take it to heart. "
The Third Hokage, who didn't pay much attention to this at first, couldn't help but twitch when he heard Ye Cheng's explanation.
If there weren't so many people outside the venue, the Third Hokage swore that he would definitely let Yashiro know what kind of price he had to pay for secretly arranging his elders.
However, while his old face was twitching, the Third Hokage looked at Yashiro with a lot of admiration.
Although Ye Cheng has many shortcomings, it is undeniable that his vision, analytical ability, and even overall view are quite outstanding.
If you want to become a superior, strength is only one of the factors. It is also important to have superior means and a view of the overall situation.
At this point, the current third generation Hokage has only seen two seedlings in their Hokage lineage.
One of them is Orochimaru, who has high hopes for him. As for the other person, it is Tsunade's disciple Yashiro.
To become Hokage, vision, skills, strength, fame and status are all indispensable.
Among his three disciples, Orochimaru is undoubtedly more suitable to become Hokage than Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Although in terms of status, Tsunade, as the granddaughter of the first and second generation Hokages, has an advantage, as a woman, Tsunade has always been too emotional, and is easily dragged down by emotions, unable to make correct judgments on big matters. Seek more benefits for the village.
As for the disciples of the "Konoha Sannin", that is, his own disciples and grandchildren, judging from the current situation, Yashiro and Minato are also quite outstanding children.
Minato is a positive and optimistic person. Although he is a civilian ninja, he has outstanding talents. He has a very high reputation among Konoha ninjas and is deeply trusted by his companions.
As for Ye City..., there is nothing to say about strength and talent. Even after Tsunade left the village and let it grow freely, it was still able to grow wildly and even reach its current strength. Regardless of talent or potential, even the third generation Hokage I have also seen the only one.
In terms of genius level alone, the Third Hokage even felt that Yoroki could rival his teacher, the Second Hokage, who developed many ninjutsu and forbidden techniques.
