"Sandaime Naruto -sama!"
Hearing a muffled groan, the Anbu beside him noticed the blood on the corner of Sandaime's mouth and asked anxiously.
At this moment, Sandaime seemed to have aged a lot, he lowered his eyes and waved his hand.
"Orochimaru!"
Sandaime gritted his teeth and slowly clenched his fists, the last trace of hope in his eyes was completely destroyed.
Orochimaru was his favorite disciple, but as Naruto, he regarded the entire Wood Leaf Village as his family.
His experiments on living people were so cruel.
Using such a bloody method to kill his own people, as the previous Naruto, he can't forgive him.
From this moment on, Orochimaru was no longer his cherished disciple, but an irreconcilable enemy.
At this moment, footsteps came from behind, Sandaime and several Anbu looked sideways.
"Yondaime-sama Naruto -sama!"
Several Anbu ninjas saw Minato slowly walking towards them and immediately bowed respectfully.
Minato nodded lightly. The smell of blood in Orochimaru's underground laboratory made him frown.
He felt that Sandaime's aura became extremely chaotic at this time.
Noticing the blood on the corner of Sandaime's mouth, Watergate raised his eyes and looked at the depths of the laboratory.
That was the source of the smell of blood.
It was the remains of a boy who looked 14 or 15 years old, most of his organs were hollowed out.
Even though Minato had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, his azure blue eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly when he saw this.
In the depths of his eyes, killing intent began to surge.
Watergate quickly restrained this emotion, because at this time, the one who felt the most sad was Naruto.
He put his hand on Sandaime's shoulder and patted him.
"Watergate, immediately issue a wanted order for Orochimaru, and reward him with the highest bounty!"
Sandaime said in a trembling voice. Watergate heard this and nodded in agreement.
"But … it's not appropriate to announce all the facts to the public now."
Watergate said. Wood Leaf Village was attacked not long ago, so it's a special period.
Although Orochimaru's reputation in the village is not very good due to his introverted personality, he is still one of the Sannin, and has a considerable status in Wood Leaf Village and the entire shinobi world.
If what he has done is announced, it will not only attract the ridicule of other major countries, but it will also be used to shake the people's hearts.
Hearing this, Sandaime's expression, Sandaime's expression slightly flickered, and then a smile appeared on his old face's face and said:
"I've always made bad decisions in my life, but there's one thing I'm glad I made the right choice."
"That is to hand over the position of Hokage to you."
In the nearly two years since Watergate succeeded Naruto, although there were a lot of disturbances in the beginning, the relationship between the village and the Uchiha has improved considerably under the former's governance.
In the eyes of Konoha's higher-ups, the Uchiha Clan, who were once arrogant and arrogant, are gradually integrating into the village's social system.
More and more Uchiha ninjas, who used to only think about the Uchiha Clan, are giving everything for the sake of the village.
If it weren't for the bold decision made by Watergate, these changes would have been absolutely impossible to achieve.
"Don't say that, if it weren't for you who supported Wood Leaf Village until now, how could I have brought the village to its current situation by myself?"
Watergate said. He has always believed that the first Naruto Village and the second one who carried out important reforms and established the system were all outstanding achievements.
Sandaime Naruto silently inherited these achievements and worked hard for the village for decades to bring the village to its current situation.
Sandaime is the greatest Naruto Village in the history of the village.
Hearing this, Sandaime had a bitter smile on his face.
He looked behind him at the Anbu department that directly belonged to him.
"I'm old, I'm really tired."
Sandaime sighed, then looked at Watergate and said: "I always said that I would entrust everything to you, but in the end, I still have some reservations."
"I hope you don't hate me."
What Sandaime was referring to was naturally his subordinates, as well as the members of the Dark Group who were directly under him.
Therefore, the current atmosphere in Wood Leaf Village is a bit strange.
In the mouths of many civilians and ninjas, there are two Naruto Village in the current Wood Leaf Village.
"What are you talking about, I'm still too young and immature, you're still thinking about the village."
Watergate said. He knows that Sandaime Naruto's purpose of preserving the power in his hands is different from Danzo's. It's not to accumulate the power in his hands.
He still has too many concerns, he's worried that Watergate can't deal with the village's affairs well.
"But from today on, I think it's time to end this situation."
Sandaime chuckled and looked at Watergate and said: "From now on, integrate all the Anbu under my command into your subordinates …"
"This …"
Watergate was startled and then wanted to say something.
In front of him, Sandaime waved his hand and said: "Don't say anything, this is all my trust, I'll leave it to you."
"Before that, I only have one last request for you."
"Please say." Watergate said solemnly.
"Don't let something like Orochimaru's happen again!" Sandaime's eyes flashed, and his tone was a little excited.
Hearing this, Shui Men's pupils turned cold, and then he nodded heavily.
"Yes!
This is my responsibility as Naruto. "
"Then I'll leave it to you, Sandaime."
After hearing Watergate's answer, Sandaime's face finally showed a relieved smile.
He turned around and looked at the few Dark Ops behind him.
These people are Sandaime's confidants, and they immediately understood what he meant.
They bowed their heads in the direction of Watergate to show their loyalty.
"What I want to say, I just said it to Sandaime Naruto."
"Whether it's me, Naruto, or you, we all have the same identity, that is, Wood Leaf Village's ninja."
"So … let's protect the village and the family in it together!"
"Yes!
Naruto -sama! "
"We are willing to give our lives for this!"
Several Anbu responded in unison, and Sandaime saw this and completely let go of his worries.
Being Naruto doesn't mean you can be recognized by everyone, but only those who are recognized by everyone can be Naruto.
Obviously, everyone in Wood Leaf Village, including his Anbu subordinates, recognized Watergate as Naruto.
Watergate smiled and nodded, then said: "Clean this place, and then find out the identity of these ninjas, and bury them well, and the compensation will be paid by the village according to the highest wartime standard."
"Yes!"
The few of them nodded in agreement.
Watergate and Sandaime exchanged a glance, and the latter waved his hand and left the underground laboratory alone.
Looking at the gradually departing figure that seemed to have aged a lot, Minato's heart was also very uncomfortable.
However, the current situation didn't leave him much time to sigh.
There are a lot of things in the village waiting for Watergate to deal with.
Soon after, he swept a glance at the dark underground laboratory, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
...
...
Recently, the family matters haven't been settled, so the update is very late, and I feel that the quality is not very good, I apologize to everyone, I'm really sorry.
