Time is the most valuable thing, but it is also the least valuable thing, but it always passes quietly.
Although the other ninja villages in the ninja world were surprised by Hiruzen Sarutobi's defection, it did not start the Fourth Ninja War, not even a small-scale battle.
Sunagakure, Kirigakure and Konoha are allies. Of course, the most important thing is that Akatsuki is a threat and Konoha is very powerful.
In Hidden Cloud Village, Raikage has been searching for news about Uchiha Itachi, Kisame, and Hancock, but can't find them.
In that battle, Raikage escaped first, so he didn't know what the final outcome would be, and he didn't know whose hand the Six-Tails Jinchūriki would fall into.
As for the Akatsuki organization and Hancock's splinter body, they did not act in a high-profile manner after that. It would be surprising if Raikage could investigate and find out, especially since Hancock's splinter body has left the ninja world.
As for Iwagakure, Onoki, an old fox, let them face Konoha alone and would lose 100%, so the ninja world was still calm for the time being.
Kakashi has been tracking the whereabouts of Hiruzen Sarutobi for three months, but with absolutely no information at all, they can only return to Konoha. After that, they can only ask the ninjas in the village to pay more attention when performing tasks, and at the same time ask Sunagakure, Kiri
Please help me pay attention.
However, the defection of Hiruzen Sarutobi still had an impact. The Konoha ninjas went out on missions and were laughed at by many hostile people.
This is only temporary. As time goes by, no one dares to underestimate Konoha, because Konoha's new generation is slowly rising.
The most popular among them is Kakashi’s Hatake Swordsman Team.
The reason why they are called the Hatake Swordsman Team is because Kakashi’s surname is Hatake! What’s more, they all have practiced the swordsmanship of Hatake White Fang, and all of them have impressive attainments.
This team has become famous in the ninja world. Some people even say that this team is stronger than the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the past and is already qualified to hunt Kage.
At this time, more than two years had passed since Sarutobi Hiruzen's defection, and Sasuke and Naruto were both twelve years old.
In the original work, they have just graduated, but now they can completely rival Kakashi at this point in the original work.
In the Hokage's office, Danzo's assimilated form summoned them.
"I don't need to give you the test anymore. The three of you all have the power of a jounin. You can even be said to be the elite among the jounin. Now you are officially a jounin."
"Actually, you were able to become Jonin a year ago, especially Tomie. Now you can choose to quit the ANBU and become a team teacher, or you can become an ANBU team leader and lead other ANBU to perform tasks."
Danzo's assimilated body said calmly that it was time to separate the team and some things could be done. Now Sasuke's strength is barely adequate.
The most important thing is that Xiao Nan from Yu Ninja Village has mastered the art of reincarnation in the dirty soil yesterday, and they will take action soon.
Kakashi thought to himself: "This day has finally arrived."
That's right, with their strength, it would be too wasteful to perform missions together. Unless they face Akatsuki or Orochimaru, they will reunite!
Kakashi didn't think it was his own boast. With the strength of their team, apart from being a little uncertain when facing Danzo, the other Kazekage, Raikage, and Tsuchikage could defeat or even kill them if they teamed up.
It makes sense for Kakashi to be so confident. Let’s not talk about Tomie’s strength. He has always hidden his strength.
Let’s talk about Naruto’s strength. Hatake’s sword skills are comparable to those of ordinary Jonin. His Eight-door Armor can open the fifth gate. In addition, Danzo’s assimilated form personally teaches a series of wind-attribute ninjutsu and mastered the Rasengan. His configuration is better than that in the original work.
Naruto was still strong before he learned Sage Mode.
Sasuke is even worse. Although Hatake's sword skills are not great, he surpasses Naruto.
In terms of Ninjutsu, he mastered Uchiha's Fire Release and Jiraiya's Fire Release series, learned Kakashi's Raid Release Ninjutsu, and developed the original Chidori series of moves under Tomie's guidance.
His genjutsu skills aren't bad either. After all, he has three Magatama Sharingan. The most important thing is that he can open the sixth gate of his Eight Gate Dungeon. Even under normal conditions, his strength can overwhelm the average jounin.
Kakashi seems to be stretched out compared to his disciples, and the fourth gate of Eight Gate Dungeon has only been opened now. After all, Kakashi's main attack direction is not Eight Gate Dungeon.
Sasuke's ability to improve so quickly has a lot to do with Tomie, especially in the Eight Gate Dungeon.
It wasn't that Tomie Uchiha gave Sasuke the optimized version of the Eight Gate Dungeon, but that he used the art of reincarnation every now and then to treat Sasuke's hidden wounds. Each time, the vitality injected into him was a little more, rather than just right.
This part of the life force was absorbed by Sasuke. As more and more life force was absorbed, the hidden genes belonging to the immortal body in his body began to activate.
In other words, Sasuke now also has a fairy body, so he can practice the Eight Gate Dungeon faster than Naruto.
Maybe one day in the future, Sasuke can open the reincarnation eye, provided that he has a future.
"Hokage-sama, can I be an ordinary jounin? I don't want to lead a team."
Kakashi said lightly that he was not interested in bringing up other students. After seeing the talents of Naruto, Tomie, and Sasuke, the geniuses mentioned by others could not catch his eyes at all.
Just talking about the students who have graduated in recent years, the gap in strength between them and Tomie and the other three is too big. Except for the one named Hinata who has a special jounin level of power, the others are only at the chuunin level.
Of course, Kai accepted a disciple a while ago, which is a bit interesting, but if the basics are not good, he will never be able to reach the level of Kai. In the future, he may be able to open six or seven doors, but the power is definitely not comparable to Kai's six or seven doors.
There is a gap in basic strength, and the gap will only become larger after opening the Eight Gate Dunjia to magnify it.
"I respect your opinion."
Danzo's assimilated body did not force Kakashi to lead the team. It won't take long for the ninja world to change.
"Hokage-sama, I will continue to stay in ANBU."
Sasuke felt that only by staying in ANBU could he possibly fight against powerful ninjas.
Generally, jounin is not his opponent, but it is not bad to experience some weird ninjutsu.
The reason why Sasuke is so respectful to Danzo's assimilated form is because he has competed with Danzo's assimilated form and was crushed every time.
"Hokage-sama, I want to be like Kakashi-sensei, and my age is not suitable to be a leader."
"Me too."
Tomie, Naruto did not stay in ANBU. Although Naruto is not as single-minded as in the original work, his character is indeed not suitable for staying in ANBU.
"Whatever you want, I will inform you if there is a special mission." Danzo's assimilated body said casually.
Sasuke hesitated and said: "Hokage-sama, is there any news about Uchiha Itachi?"
Sasuke now thinks that his strength is enough. Although Susanoo is powerful, he is not unable to compete with him.
Susanoo is indeed powerful, but his endurance is not. When the competition comes, it will be seen whether Itachi using Susanoo is more durable or he using Eight Gate Dungeon is more durable.
Danzo's assimilated body said: "As long as you are strong enough, Uchiha Itachi will come to you on his own. He is very thirsty for your eyes. After all, the Eternal Kaleidoscope is the power that only Uchiha Madara possesses."
Sasuke nodded thoughtfully, and Kakashi was a little worried. He felt that it would be too difficult for Sasuke to defeat Itachi Uchiha now, but Tomie had hope.
