Chapter 491: Bakuchi was kicked out of the ranks of candidates for Hokage

The Hidden Cloud Village.

When Fujiwara Tetsuya arrived at the outer area of ​​the Hidden Cloud Village, Ai and Killer Bee had already learned the news, and after leaving the main force behind, they rushed back first.

At the risk of draining his family's wealth, he gathered 5,000 elite ninjas and planned to march to the western coast...

"It's you!"

Looking at the sudden appearance of Fujiwara Tetsuya.

Ai, Killer Bee, Todai... and a group of Cloud Ninjas' eyes were immediately filled with vigilance.

Until, Fujiwara Tetsuya read the scrollThe corpse of the Third Raikage was summoned~

The expressions and beliefs of Ai and others... collapsed instantly.

"Father~"

"Lord Raikage~"

"Who! Who killed him..."

Ai's roar was like a beast, echoing in the vast mountains.

"Next~"

"It was the Third Raikage who killed him, not the cowards of the Hidden Rock Village."

"It was me... The Third Raikage who was killed by me in a fair duel."

"He said that it was a pleasure to meet me at the end of his life."

Touching his chin, Fujiwara Tetsuya recalled the tone of the Third Raikage's words before his death... and responded with some emotion.

"Fujiwara Tetsuya, you damn bastard... are you kidding me!"

The moment the corpse of the Third Raikage was caught, Ai and Killer Bee, who had already entered the half-tailed beast mode, took action.

"Lightning Release: Absolute Bull Thunder Plow Hot Blade~"

Facing Ai and Killer Bee's ultimate blow, Fujiwara Tetsuya did not dodge, but took the fatal blow head-on.

The powerful inertia caused Fujiwara Tetsuya to roll in the air for countless times at the moment of being thrown away, and finally... fell heavily to the ground.

"Ai~"

"This blow is considered as not seeing each other for many years, I give it to you."

"No matter what you think, those words just now were your father's last words before his death."

"If you haven't vented enough, then follow me..."

"If we fight here, the entire Cloud Village will be destroyed by the three of us."

Rubbing his painful neck, Fujiwara Tetsuya turned and walked towards the wasteland further west.

"Todai~"

"You stay here and take care of your father's body."

"Bi, follow me~ I need your strength!"

...

No one knows how fierce the battle between Fujiwara Tetsuya and Ai and Killer Bee is.

But even though they were far apart, Toshiro and the people of the Hidden Cloud Village could still clearly feel the tremors of the earth.

"Do you want to continue fighting? Ai..."

In the evening, the aftermath of the battle finally subsided.

Tetsuya Fujiwara carried the unconscious Killer Bee in one hand and Kirimaru in the other, and slowly walked towards Ai who fell in the ruins.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki (complete form), obtaining 50,000 kill points, 10% permanent increase in physique, and 20% permanent increase in chakra! ]

Both Ai and Killer Bee are too young and have unlimited room for improvement.

But... it is precisely because of their youth that the threat brought to him by the two of them together is not even as strong as the Third Raikage who is at his peak.

"Yes... we lost."

"Kill me... but please, let Bi go."

Looking at the unconscious Killer Bee, Ai's eyes became extremely complicated.

There was both powerlessness and shame... and some kind of unspeakable relief.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of killing you."

"Interesting guys like you, keeping them... will make the future ninja world more interesting."

As he spoke, Fujiwara Tetsuya threw Killer Bee directly to Ai.

The sudden weight made Ai, who had just struggled to get up, fall into the ruins again.

"Ai~ I forgot to tell you that the Third Raikage said something before he died."

"He said: If it's you, you will definitely surpass him and me in the future..."

"Although I don't believe this... but if there is a day when you think... you and this guy are strong enough, you are welcome to challenge me."

The moment the voice fell, Fujiwara Tetsuya's figure turned into nothingness and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Father... I will definitely defeat that damn guy."

"Definitely!!!"

...

The news that the Third Raikage died in battle.

It can't be concealed at all, and it's impossible to conceal it...

In just a few days, the news that the Third Raikage was ambushed and besieged by the Rock Ninja, and was killed by Fujiwara Tetsuya, spread throughout the ninja world.

Compared with the death of the Third Raikage, the uproar caused by Fujiwara Tetsuya in Kusagakure Village was suppressed in an instant.

"So it was Tetsuya... who killed the Third Raikage?"

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Namikaze Minato, who also led the army back, learned about the various events of the Rock Village's surprise attack on the Land of Lightning from Sarutobi Hiruzen and a group of senior officials.

I suddenly realized why Ai and Bi led the army to retreat at the critical moment when they were gradually gaining the upper hand...

"Minato!"

"Don't think too much. We were able to repel Ai and Bi thanks to your outstanding performance on the front line."

"It has nothing to do with other people and other things."

The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet.

Koharu Utatane and En Mitokado fell silent one after another. As for Danzo, his face became more and more gloomy.

The one in front of him finally made a decision.

Between the two most famous geniuses in Konoha, between Tetsuya Fujiwara and Minato Namikaze.

"Hokage~ I"

"Minato, thank you for commanding the battle in the front. You can leave first."

"The reward for the war will be determined by the administrative department in a few days."

Facing Minato Namikaze who was hesitant to speak, Sarutobi Hiruzen just waved his hand and let Minato Namikaze retreat.

...

"Huruzen, you will regret doing this."

"What do you think that kid think?"

Seeing Minato Namikaze leave, Danzo couldn't hold back his anger and stood up and roared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Danzo, I'm the Hokage! Watch your tone."

"I have my own arrangements for Tetsuya, and I don't need you to interfere."

"Just keep an eye on the Root and help Hanzo solve the internal affairs of the Hidden Rain Village as soon as possible."It's fine..."

"Huruzen you..."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a cold expression, Danzo stretched out his fingers in anger, but he didn't say anything more, and finally slammed the door and left.

"Huruzen, your tone to Danzo was too harsh."

Looking at Danzo's back as he left in anger, a trace of helplessness flashed in Utane Koharu's eyes.

They are all over a hundred years old, why can't they be more stable?

"Koharu, I'm not targeting Danzo~ but how to deal with Tetsuya. "

"You and Menyan are right, Tetsuya's temperament is too jumpy, he is used to doing his own thing... and prefers to solve all problems with strength. "

"Such a person is not suitable... to be the Hokage. "

"You have hesitated for so long! It's time for me to make a decision. "

"Huruzen...I~"

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was lost in thought again, Mito Kado En beside him felt numb all over.

Did he say such a thing?

Such a frame-up would kill someone.
