Chapter 248: Messengers of Kumogakure
Chapter 248: Messengers of Kumogakure
The Fifth Hokage, Hatake Yeruashi.
Unlike Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, who are already dead and have become legends of the past, Yeruashi is a living Ninja God.
This year, Yeruashi was only seventeen years old.
Compared to the past, the girls' attention towards him only increased.
This in turn prompted more active actions from Rin and Kurenai.
Since Rin and Kurenai live in the Hokage building, Kakashi was also affected by this and suffered several psychological injuries, and eventually decided to leave the Hokage building and live alone.
Of course.
It's worth noting that Kakashi now also has many fans.
As the younger brother of Yeruashi and the famous ninja, with age, at the age of sixteen, Kakashi also gradually began to mature.
The young Kakashi paid little attention to his peers, and due to his proud and cold nature, many of them hated him, but after receiving the Mangekyou Sharingan from Obito, his character became a little softer.
If it wasn't for Yeruashi, Kakashi would probably be much more famous and popular.
"Ugh."
Yeruashi sighed helplessly as he watched the movement below, he only returned their greeting because he was in such a good mood.
Fortunately, being ninjas, these girls can still keep their composure and not jump on the Hokage Rock, causing unnecessary chaos.
Yeruashi turned around.
With a gentle wave of her hand, the wooden box containing the sealed 'star' rose into the air and landed on Yeruashi's palm, she ran her finger over it, removing the seal.
Inside the box was a small meteorite with many holes in its surface, and with the help of the Tenseigan, Yeruashi could clearly see that it was emitting purple energy.
"It's not Jubi's power..."
Yeruashi carefully looked at the 'star' and quickly analyzed it.
Remember that in many novels or something similar, this meteorite was often supposed to be part of the Jubi, but in Yeruashi's perception, it is completely different from the chakra of the Bijuu and didn't even have chakra.
Holding the meteorite in his hand and feeling the effect of the radiated energy on his body, Yeruashi roughly understood what it was. If he was not mistaken, it must be a radioactive meteorite.
In the case of prolonged exposure, this radiation will be fatal to normal people, the same goes for ninjas, but it will also affect the chakra, increasing its strength and giving it special properties.
This is the 'Mysterious Peacock Method' of Hoshigakure.
"It doesn't make any sense."
Yeruashi shook his head, intending to clench his hand and destroy the meteorite, but at the last moment he thought it might be useful for scientific purposes in the future, so he returned it to the box and then reinstalled the Fuuinjutsu.
After that, Yeruashi disappeared from the Hokage Rock.
After placing the star in a sealed room on the fourth floor of the Hokage building, Yeruashi returned to his office, sat down at his desk and began to study the documents.
In these two years, five small countries were swallowed up by the Fire Country one after another, and the Bear Country became the sixth.
In absorbing each country, Yeruashi acted as aggressively and decisively as possible, simply introducing ten times the number of troops to garrison each of the smaller countries for annexation and unification.
The effect was also very good.
Because Yeruashi's actions were aimed at absorption, not plunder, and the troops sent in repeatedly outnumbered the forces of the ninja villages in these countries, forcing the other side to capitulate helplessly, the absorption of the countries was difficult to call a real war, because casualties and chaos were minimal.
During these two years, Yeruashi not only enjoyed the quiet life of the Hokage, but also continued to practice diligently, and the seventh gate of the Hachimon Tonko Thunder Mode opened about a month ago.
After the opening of the seventh gate....
Only the Gate of Death, located in the heart, remained.
The difficulty of opening the Eighth Gate is several times greater than the sum of the previous seven.
On the one hand, the requirements for opening the Gate of Death are extremely high.
On the other hand, after opening the Eighth Gate, it is necessary to achieve its resonance with the other seven to form a single system, called the Eight Gates Liberation.
Yeruashi felt that at the normal rate of practice, opening the Gate of Death would take seven to eight years... and with the ninefold acceleration of the time flow now available to him, it could take less than a year.
"The situation in the Rain Country is stable, the same applies to the Grass Country, and the stabilization of the Bear Country should not take long."
Yeruashi studied the documents on the table.
These were documents describing the situation in the absorbed countries.
According to the current progress, it will take about two more years to absorb all the small countries surrounding the Fire Country, after which Konoha will begin to act against the Great Ninja Villages.
"Hokage-sama~"
"Try my new grapefruit tea."
While Yeruashi was studying the documents, Rin entered his office with a cup of tea in her hand.
Compared to the past, sixteen-year-old Rin already has an elegant and attractive figure.
At this moment, she was wearing a short-sleeved dress that revealed her delicate white arms and looked at Yeruashi playfully.
"Okay."
Yeruashi took the cup from Rin's hand and took a sip leisurely.
Rin had been looking at him expectantly all this time.
"Excellent taste."
Yeruashi took another couple of sips and nodded with satisfaction and said, "If you opened your tea house, it would definitely become very popular."
Rin smiled cheerfully and shook her head as she looked at Yeruashi, "No, I made this especially for you and only you can enjoy it."
Yeruashi coughed a little, almost spitting out the tea.
It's worth admitting that girls with initiative are extremely dangerous and scary.
After Kakashi made the decision to move out, Rin and Kurenai became especially bold, which made Yeruashi wonder every day what kind of scenario he would face this time when he returned home.
Just as Yeruashi took another sip of tea and was about to say something, a human figure in a black cloak appeared in the study and immediately knelt down to greet him.
"Hokage-sama."
"The messengers from Kumogakure have arrived."
Yeruashi looked at the Shadow Guard and nodded, saying, "I understand.... Rin, go receive them."
"Good."
Rin nodded, instantly became extremely serious and left the office.
After suffering several serious defeats by Kakashi and Shisui, about two months ago, Kumogakure showed its desire to enter into peace negotiations with Konoha.
The signing of the peace treaty between Konoha and Kumogakure signified the complete end of the Third Ninja World War, which has dragged on for quite some time.
Although Kumogakure suffered a crushing defeat in the war, its messengers, in any case, require a lot of attention.
