Chapter 545 The Interrupted Resonance, the 3rd Generation is About to Take Over
"Obito, try opening the Kamui dimension again?"
Thinking of a certain possibility, Nohara Rin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and urged him on.
"Try it? See what??" Obito scratched his head in confusion, while Kakashi and the Fourth Black Zetsu next to him had similar expressions.
However, in just a moment, the Fourth Hokage and Kakashi realized something, their expressions changed, and their eyes became uneasy!
"Divine Might".
Sensing the strange behavior of the three, Obito also hesitated for a moment before erupting with a serious expression.
In an instant, the tranquil space twisted and connected to the Divine Might Space, and in that split second, "Open!!"
With a sharp shout, Nohara Rin focused her left eye, and the tearing space suddenly expanded into a briefly stable spatial passage, revealing the frozen ingredients from the Kamui Space.
Was my previous feeling just my imagination?
As she watched the divine power dissipate and the passage close, Nohara Rin couldn't help but murmur in disappointment.
The Fourth Hokage and Kakashi, standing to the side, also looked disappointed; it seemed their guesses were wrong!
Meanwhile, the third battle against Konoha took place.
"Teacher, don't push yourself too hard..."
During the third battle against Konoha, the Fifth Hokage, Ishikawa, watched as blood and tears streamed from his left eye, his breathing became disordered, and sweat beaded on his forehead. He couldn't help but worry and try to comfort him.
He wanted to inform Kamui to try and find Minato's team, but he didn't want to ruin the Fifth Hokage's reputation because of this.
"Phew... aimlessly using my eye technique to open up space and search for them is really too taxing on my body. Now I finally understand the helplessness Obito felt before!" Godai shook his head with a wry smile, then turned his head to the side as if he thought of something, "Where's Tobi? That guy shouldn't have left with Obito, right?"
"Afei?" Ishikawa murmured upon hearing this, instantly understanding Godai's thoughts.
However, Sasuke entrusted that guy to Fugaku, and now that Tobi needs to help, he has to go to the Uchiha clan.
but……
“Teacher, even if we ask Tobi for help, we might not be able to find the Fourth Hokage and the others so quickly. The most urgent thing now is for the Third Hokage to take advantage of the situation and regain his position as Hokage. If he succeeds, it will be a disadvantageous situation for us and for the Fourth Hokage who comes back later.”
After exchanging glances with Godai, Ishikawa abruptly changed the subject, revealing the reality with a helpless expression!
If the Third Hokage were a schemer or an ambitious manipulator, he could have easily eliminated or controlled the other party to resolve the problem. However, the problem lies in the fact that the Third Hokage's stance was neither black nor white; he was simply a conservative Hokage with differing political views!
This put him in a very awkward position, unsure whether to trust the other party or be wary of them.
"The Third Hokage is coming back to power?" Looking at Ishikawa's solemn expression, Godai's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he made a decision.
Just as he was about to speak after taking a deep breath, a member of the Dark Guard rushed over and told Godai to use his Instantaneous Movement to hide.
"Lord Tanuki, the Third Hokage has summoned an emergency meeting. Please come over now..." The person knelt on one knee and respectfully called out to Ishikawa.
"So you've finally arrived? I know!" Ishikawa nodded meaningfully, removed his mask, and followed the other person away in an instant.
"As expected, trouble has come." After the two left, the Fifth Hokage emerged from the shadows with a complex sigh, quickly popping two soldier pills into his mouth to replenish his chakra.
Meanwhile, over here, "Tanuki, you've finally arrived!"
In the Hokage Building, Orochimaru, the commander of the Anbu, looked at Ishikawa and couldn't help but lick his lips, his golden snake eyes flashing with an unusual light.
What secrets does this guy still have?
"Captain Orochimaru, does the Hokage only summon the Anbu?" Ignoring Orochimaru's strange look, Ishikawa looked at the conference room door and asked directly.
If it's just the Anbu, that's fine, but if it also involves the major clans and Jonin, then it's a much bigger problem!
"Well, you'll find out soon enough! Don't be surprised, Captain Tanuki." Orochimaru teased with a smile, causing Ishikawa's expression to change beneath his mask.
Captain Tanuki? The subtext here is...
"Alright, since you're here, come in with me!" Orochimaru waved his hand casually and turned to walk into the adjacent conference room.
Seeing this, Ishikawa didn't hesitate and followed into the conference room. But as soon as he entered, Ishikawa's pupils shrank, and he realized something was wrong.
The spacious conference room was packed with people, including representatives of the Konoha clans and senior Jonin such as Tsunade, Jiraiya, Fugaku, Hiashi, Shikaku, Inoichi, and Choza.
The three seated at the head of the table were the Third Hokage and his old companions, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's begin..." Seeing Orochimaru and Ishikawa appear, Koharu Utatane stood up and said, "Everyone is probably very clear about the invasion incident three days ago."
"Although the village did not suffer too much damage thanks to the efforts of the Third and Fourth Hokage and other ninjas, the fact remains that the Fourth Hokage and the three young ninjas have gone missing."
"After three days of waiting and rest, although I hate to admit it, it is a fact that the Fourth Hokage and the others will not be returning for the time being!"
"Therefore, in order to maintain the normal order of Konoha, we have decided that the Third Hokage will resume his duties as Hokage to protect Konoha until the Fourth Hokage returns."
"This term will be automatically terminated upon the return of the Fourth Hokage!!"
Looking around, Xiaochun solemnly explained that the scene immediately fell silent!
Everyone's eyes flickered, their minds racing, wanting to refuse but unable to say anything.
After all, this decision is the most reasonable solution from all perspectives, whether from a moral, logical, public, or private standpoint.
Even Jiraiya, the Fourth Hokage's teacher, and Ishikawa were speechless at this moment!
After all, the village can't be without a leader, especially given the current precarious situation. Having the Third Hokage reinstated is far better than directly electing the Fifth...
Otherwise, once the Fourth Hokage returns, the appearance of the Fifth Hokage will make the Fourth Hokage even more uneasy and put him in an awkward position.
"Alright, since no one has any objections, let's move on to the next topic..." Seeing that no one objected, Koharu Utatane nodded in satisfaction, secretly overjoyed.
Once the third generation is successfully reinstated, their advisory authority will also be restored, which would make her ecstatic.
"Ahem, may I interrupt for a moment?" Just as Koharu Utatane was about to propose restricting the Uchiha clan as planned, the Third Hokage coughed and interrupted.
“Yesterday, Orochimaru, the commander of the Anbu, submitted his resignation, requesting to step down from his position as commander of the Anbu and only serve as the director of the Root Research Institute. Therefore, I am now announcing the new commander of the Anbu…”
"what?"
"Lord Orochimaru is stepping down as captain of the Anbu so soon?"
"So it really is because of the third generation!"
Instantly, as soon as the third generation finished speaking, the scene erupted in an uproar and a flurry of discussion...
"So, who is the new commander of the Dark Guard?" Ishikawa asked subconsciously, a thought flashing through his mind when he saw Orochimaru's mocking gaze.
"Tanuki, from now on you will be the captain of the Dark Guard." Almost simultaneously, the Third Hokage turned around, smiled gently, and extended an olive branch.
[As expected, this is a setup to recruit me into dismantling the Fourth Generation Anbu forces!]
Ishikawa sensed something was wrong. He had no intention of becoming the leader of the Dark Guard in this world, especially since his superior was the Third Hokage.
"The Third Hokage..."
He instinctively shouted, and Ishikawa was about to refuse when a golden light suddenly appeared and thunder roared from the ground.
"I'm sorry, I disagree with this appointment!!"
