Chapter 272 Alliance 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】(1/2)
A few days later, Toneri, who officially ended the transfer of power with Hiruzen Sarutobi, encountered his first important event after becoming Hokage.
Signed an alliance treaty with Iwagakure Village.
Yes, although Iwagakure and Konoha had their own agreements, this treaty was not actually signed.
Because Danzo was originally in charge.
But before Danzo could sign the contract, he was controlled by Toneri.
Then this matter originally fell on Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he couldn't sit in the position of Hokage for much longer, and was replaced by Toneri.
Therefore, when Toneri threatened Sarutobi Hiruzen with the idea of signing an alliance with Iwagakure Village, he could have given up the alliance to try to keep his position as Hokage.
But he still chose to compromise in the end, which is why Sheren didn't do anything to him in the end and still respected him.
Of course, if he is really cruel and willing to watch Konoha continue to struggle in the quagmire of war and give up on this hard-won peace treaty, then Toneri will not mind using more extreme methods to force him to step down, which is the normal process.
coup.
So in these two days, it was time for Konoha and Iwagakure to sign an armistice agreement and an alliance treaty.
As the newly appointed Fourth Hokage, he needs to go to the front line to sign these things in person. At the same time, if possible, try to bring back some of the ninjas from the Konoha army who are stationed in Takino Country.
After all, Konoha fights wars on multiple fronts. If the war can be ended on one battlefield as soon as possible, it will definitely have a lot of benefits for the other battlefields.
Knowing the importance of this matter, even if there was still a lot of handover work to be completed in Konoha, Toneri could only leave it to the shadow clone to handle it.
He, along with Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi who wanted to see the battlefield, as well as a few secretly protected root ninjas, rushed to the country of Taki as quickly as possible.
Itachi is only three or four years old. By the time he goes to ninja school and graduates, the war will probably be over.
Shiren believes that it is necessary to let these little guys understand the cruelty of war, so that they can cherish the hard-won peace more.
The nature of the two little guys was still relatively high along the way, but when they arrived in the country of Taki and felt the breeze mixed with a bit of fishy and burnt smell, the smiles on their faces disappeared instantly.
.
Sheren will not give them too much care, just let them adapt themselves.
He believed that with the abilities of his two disciples, they should be able to adapt quickly.
Arrive at the camp of the Konoha ninja army.
Compared with the residents and ninjas in Konoha, although the ninjas here all know that Toneri is the Fourth Hokage and know his achievements on the battlefield, when they first saw him
, most people didn’t react at once.
"Uncle Lu Xin, thank you for your hard work."
After Toneri entered the command tent, the first person he greeted was Nara Shikashin, the commander-in-chief of the Takino Country battlefield, an old acquaintance of Toneri.
Compared with several other battlefields where shadow-level experts are stationed, it is much more difficult on this battlefield in the Kingdom of Taki.
Facing Ōnoki who was able to eliminate the Dust Release by using blood successors, only Nara Shikakoro and his generation, Ino Shikacho, could compete with them. They reluctantly relied on defensive methods to prevent the Iwa nin from crossing the border of Takino Country.
Fortunately, although Nara Shikashin's combat effectiveness is much lower than that of Kage level, his IQ can make up for many shortcomings of Konoha's ninja army.
Since the beginning of the war, Nara Shikashin has not seen him for a long time.
The age before death is the time when the body grows the fastest.
In addition, he was only active in the battlefields of Rain Country and Yu Country. He had never been to the battlefield of Takino Country. When he came, he hid his figure and appearance with Kakuzu, so Nara Shikakushin didn't know about it either.
So in his original impression, Toneri was a naughty little guy who was only 1.56 meters tall and always had a bit of a mean smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, a few years passed in the blink of an eye, and he actually received the message from Konoha that Toneri became Hokage.
I have to say that his mood was very complicated at that time. He would never have thought that Toneri was brought back to Konoha just because he had the aura of a tailed beast on his body, and that a certain part of his naked body was floating in the wind.
The simple little guy has now become the supreme leader of Konoha, Hokage!
When I saw him again and saw the changes in his appearance and appearance, especially the very conspicuous Mangekyō Sharingan, not to mention how complicated my mood was at this time.
But most of all, I am happy.
Anyway, he once lived in their Nara home and watched him and Shikaku playing around every day. Shikaku, who had shown that his IQ was not inferior to him since he was a child, was frustrated time and time again because Toneri was better at pleasing Nara Tsumi.
.
Nara Shikashin almost regarded Toneri as half of his own child.
Regardless of whether his identity as a member of the Senju clan is true or not, regardless of whether he is Hokage or not, Nara Shikashin looks at his son with the eyes of an old father.
This is a kind of self-spiritual strengthening, do you see it? The son I picked up casually is now the Hokage!
If Toneri knew what he was thinking right now, he would probably report something evil to Nara Nara, saying that he accidentally saw several young female ninjas walking from Nara Shikashin's tent on the battlefield of Takino Country.
come out.
It is estimated that someone will let him know why the flowers are so red when he gets back.
Gently patting Toneri's shoulder, Nara Shikaku already discovered that Toneri's height had surpassed him. Looking at his face that was obviously much more handsome than Nara Shikaku, his heart was full of sighs.
Although the next Hokage is no longer from the Sarutobi clan, which has the closest relationship with their three families, Toneri's words do not seem to have any impact on their three clans in the future.
"The Fourth Hokage, good...that's great..." Nara Shikakushin said with a pleased expression.
Toneri is also grateful from the bottom of his heart for the Nara Shikakushin family.
When he lived in Nara Shikashin's house, neither Nara Shikakushin nor Nara Tsumei treated him as an outsider but as their own child.
Even when he bullies Shikaku, they all just smile, sometimes even happier than him.
Toneri chose to stay in Konoha, and their family definitely played a key role.
"Aunt Jimei told me before I came here, let me check your tent to see if there is anything that shouldn't be there or... anyone." Toneri raised his eyebrows, his face full of teasing.
Hearing this, Nara Shikakushin's expression froze, and all the sadness and relief he had felt just now were thrown out of his mind.
This little guy hasn't changed, he is Nara Tsumi's spy.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Seeing Nara Shikashin's expression, Toneri laughed, but the familiar feeling remained unchanged.
Although Nara Shikashin looked stiff, careful Itachi discovered that the ends of his mouth actually showed an upward trend to a certain extent, but he was just covering it up forcibly.
"These are my two new disciples, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi. Let them come to the battlefield to see how many Konoha ninjas have sacrificed to protect Konoha, and how many people have fought for Konoha.
Serve quietly and selflessly.”
When Shisui and Itachi came in, Lu Xin had already discovered their identity as the Uchiha clan.
As the leader and staff officer of Konoha's Jonin squad, he naturally knew the seemingly glorious but embarrassing situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha.
Toneri, who is now the Fourth Hokage, has two disciples from the Uchiha clan, which may very well mean that the situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha may be about to change.
He nodded and said, "I'll arrange for someone to take them to have a look."
As he said this, a man who seemed to be from the Nara clan walked in.
On the battlefield of Taki Country, there were actually many members of the Uchiha clan, and the one in command was the current patriarch of the Uchiha clan, an old clan leader.
Regardless of whether he can go back during this war, he will step down as the clan leader.
Shiren didn't refuse, and motioned for the two of them to follow this man and take a look.
After they left, only Toner and Nara Shikakushin were left in the tent.
"I never thought you would become Hokage."
After the two sat down, Nara Shikashin couldn't help but sigh.
Now that there were only two of them left, Lu Xin's words became more casual.
"I have no choice. I am really forced to do nothing. Uncle Luxin, as the commander-in-chief, you cannot return to Konoha. I don't know the situation. That guy Danzo has been targeting me. If I don't fight back, we will probably be at war with each other in the future.
"Sheren shrugged.
I didn't mean to hide too much.
Since he wants Nara Shikashin to help him make suggestions in the future, he still needs to know some things.
However, Nara Shikashin didn't seem too surprised when he heard Toneri's words.
"You may think that I am always on the front line, but in fact, I am very concerned about you and Lu Jiu. If you have any information, I will know it as soon as possible.
No matter what the process is, now that you are Hokage, you must shoulder the responsibility of protecting Konoha. As long as you make achievements, no one will care how you became Hokage."
Toneri nodded and didn't say much about this matter, "What was Onoki's reaction?"
Having said this, Nara Shikashin's expression also became serious.
After all, it is related to the future structure of the entire ninja world, and this matter cannot be taken lightly.
"The current situation of the Iwa Ninja is not as good as expected. To eradicate our intelligence, their internal expenses are very high and they cannot persist for long. In addition, last time they attacked the Kingdom of Thunder, although it resulted in the death of the third Raikage,
However, it also suffered heavy losses.
And because Kumogakure Village had already determined the successor of the Fourth Raikage a long time ago, there was not much turmoil.
The Iwa ninjas are also a little panicked. If they face us Konoha and Kumo ninjas at the same time, they will not feel easy. When you and Onoki sign an alliance later, if conditions permit, you can make a fuss about this matter.
But our situation in Konoha is not ideal, so if the conditions are not very harsh, ending the battle here as soon as possible is the best choice for us."
