Within the Uchiha clan.
Kawasaki has made proper arrangements for Yahiko and instructed him not to wander around unnecessarily in the near future. He will arrange for him to meet with Konan and Nagato soon.
Everyone in the clan knew that Kawasaki had brought back someone, but no one said a word.
Yahiko knew his own strength was still shallow, so he tried his best not to cause trouble for Kawasaki.
He spends his days either practicing indoors or training in the training ground.
Few in the tribe have hair of such a color.
Tsunade could occasionally see this figure from the rooftop of the clinic, but she clearly did not remember who it was.
After all, too much time has passed.
...
Kawasaki has been quite busy these past few days.
After settling Yahiko in the clan, he traveled between Konoha every day.
To deal with small families, money can pave the way.
As for the large families, Kawasaki not only gave away money but also personally visited them to campaign for their support.
He indicated what policy benefits he would bring if he could become Hokage.
The Naruto is like flowing water, while the clan is like a rock.
Over the years, Kawasaki's influence on the Third Hokage grew.
This did indeed cause some families to feel disappointed in the Third Hokage.
Kawasaki's personal campaigning showed more sincerity than Hiruzen Sarutobi's assistance to Orochimaru.
However, apart from a few families that have explicitly expressed their support for Kawasaki, most have reserved their opinions.
Kawasaki didn't mind; he only needed to make a gesture.
Because he understood the importance of selecting the Fifth Hokage.
The Third Hokage had more trump cards than him.
...
Recently, Tsunade has been quite troubled because several medical ninjas have come to the Uchiha clan requesting an audience.
They asked her if she intended to run for the Fifth Hokage.
After all, the nomination came from Mitokado Homura, and Tsunade had never publicly stated her intention to run for the Fifth Hokage.
The sudden nomination is undoubtedly great news for the medical ninja.
Tsunade's prestige among medical ninjas is beyond question.
If Tsunade becomes Hokage, the status of medical ninjas will also rise accordingly.
Furthermore, since Tsunade's conditions met everyone's expectations, they all came to her for help.
Tsunade originally intended to refuse everyone immediately.
Can...
"Why not refuse? I had no intention of becoming Hokage."
Tsunade looked puzzled and asked Kawasaki a question.
"With your participation, we can at least attract all the votes from the medical ninjas."
"In this way, the number of people supporting Orochimaru will decrease."
Kawasaki spoke with great seriousness and sincerity, as if anything was possible.
Tsunade scrutinized Kawasaki with a suspicious look.
Judging from his recent actions, does he really intend to compete for the position of Fifth Hokage?
Tsunade had heard about Kawasaki's work from sunrise to sunset, and his visits to various powerful families to campaign for votes.
"Do you really want to become the Fifth Hokage?"
Tsunade stared intently at Kawasaki.
Kawasaki's expression was solemn, quite different from his usual playful demeanor, as he said:
"At first, all I wanted was for the Third Hokage to step down."
"Unexpectedly, the prejudice of many major clans against the Uchiha has gradually disappeared."
"Since you have a chance to become Hokage, why not give it your all!"
Kawasaki envisioned what it would be like to become Hokage...
His gaze was intense, his eyes gleaming with a thirst for power.
Tsunade took it all in.
For Tsunade, it was better to let Orochimaru become Hokage.
It would be better to let Kawasaki take on this important task, so that at least in the future we won't have to make a difficult choice.
"In that case, I'll help you with this."
Upon hearing Tsunade's promise, Kawasaki smiled with delight.
I felt relieved. Indeed, if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself.
Without imagining the power and glory of becoming Hokage, how could he easily persuade Tsunade?
"With the foreigners soon to return, practical training can be put on the agenda."
"At that time, your medical teaching will have no shortage of practical opportunities."
...
Inside the Temple of Fire.
Obito infiltrated it alone.
In a secluded corner, he activated the Divine Might Space.
Release Kakuzu, who is in a coma.
From now on, Obito will no longer allow anyone outside of him to enter the Kamui dimension while still conscious.
Kakuzu performed reasonably well on the battlefield in the Land of Water.
Obito knew that long-term high pressure was not a way to control people's hearts.
Kakuzu will be released tonight, for there is something he desires here.
Obito used genjutsu again to awaken Kakuzu.
Kakuzu rubbed his forehead and stood up, his tone full of displeasure. "Where is this?"
Obito whispered, "The Temple of Fire."
"what?"
Kakuzu asked in confusion, "Why did you bring me here?"
Obito patted Kakuzu's shoulder lightly and said:
“You used to be in charge of finances in Yu Xiao’s organization. Now that you’re here with me, I’ll naturally arrange the same position for you.”
"The abbot here is Dilu, you should be very familiar with him, right?"
"Dilu!?"
Sure enough, Kakuzu was invigorated upon hearing this.
Although the ledger was lost, he had memorized the valuable bounty targets.
Three million taels!?
Obito was satisfied with Kakuzu's reaction.
“That’s right, I can find these kinds of high-value bounties for you quickly.”
"So, do you want me to do something for you?"
Kakuzu's eyes flickered as he said, "Let's put that aside for now and convert the land into cash first."
Chapter 206 Thousand Hands Sealing Ritual! Composite Spell!
Obito nodded and said, "I've brought you in. We'll split up later. Don't forget to deal with the other monks."
"Okay, keep it on me."
Obito, having received Kakuzu's consent, immediately activated the Kamui Dimension and entered it on his own.
Kakuzu witnessed the way Obito left, and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.
Then, he looked at the buildings of the Fire Temple.
A strange phenomenon swelled up behind him, and the power of water and electricity transformed into the Earthly Grudge, which suddenly burst out from Kakuzu's body.
Two Earth-Slaying Tortoises approached silently from underground, reaching the edge of the gate.
The Earth Grudge Masks of Wind and Fire appear on either side of Kakuzu's shoulders.
The two masks opened their mouths wide, and energy rapidly gathered!
Kakuzu has his sights set on the main hall in the center of the Fire Temple.
Composite spell, a chaotic dance of flames!
boom!
Raging flames erupted from the mouth of the Fire-Escape-from-the-Earth Wraith, accompanied by howling winds that swept in.
In an instant, a giant wave of flames fell to the ground like a fiery cloud.
The central hall of the Fire Temple!
The temple was thrown into chaos, with monks shouting in confusion!
"What happened!?"
