Chapter 184 - 184 (1/2)

The next day after the elections, Minato invited Ryo and the others to the Barbecue restaurant for celebration.

While Ryo's refusal of becoming the Hokage disappointed Shikaku for a while, the Ino-Shika-Cho getting Konoha's Hospital was enough to make up for it.

Actually, the only one really disappointed after the elections was Danzo, who sat gloomily in Roots Headquarters after Ororchimaru lost the elections.

He had dedicated a lot of resources to support Orochimaru, and even gave the Ino-Shika-Cho control over the hospital, only to eventually fail.

”The Uchiha, the Hyuga, I shall definitely make you pay the price!” Minato's victory made Danzo hold a great grudge against the Hyuga and the Uchiha.

A few days later, the 3rd Hokage announced publicly announced that Minato shall be his successor as Konoha's 4th Hokage, and that the succession ceremony would take place within two months.

From that moment, Minato was supposed to stick by the 3rd's side to learn about running the village.

After the Ino-Shika-Cho took over Konoha's hospital, Ryo naturally became its new manager.

The 1st thing he did was removing Danzo's men hidden within the hospital's leadership and promote the medical Ninjas he had trained during the war.

At the same time, he required all medical Ninjas in the hospital who did not learn Modern Medicine to participate in special training sessions.

At 1st, these medical Ninjas were initially dissatisfied, but their dissatisfaction faded away as the learned about modern medicine and started to see its ”magic”.

Konoha had just elected its 4th Hokage, and the Hidden Mist, far in the Water Country, had also undergone tremendous changes.

On one night, the village had all of the Country's ports close and prohibited anyone from entering or leaving the village.

At the same time, inside the village, a massacre was starting to take place, one against of the Kekkei Genkai wielding clans. The reason was that four days prior to that, while the Mizukage was giving a speech, both the elders of the Kaguya and Yuki clans tried to assassinate him, and then dissapeared.

This happened before everyone's eyes, and the two clans could not defend themselves. Yagura at time summoned the Sanbi, slaughtering everyone present from the two clans.

Learning of the news, the elders of the Yuki clan immediately went to Yagura to discuss the matter, but things did not go well.

As soon as the elders entered, Yagura attacked them on the spot. Eventually, he emerged victorious, killing them, and surviving while seriously injured.

The rest of the two clans' people weren't about to sit still, they joined forces together and tried to escape the village.

In the end, the two major clans ended up being slaughtered, with other smaller clans also being ravaged. Just like that, all of the village's Kekkei Genkai wielding clans were destroyed.

This opened the gates to the darkest era, the era of the ”Bloody Mist”!

At this time, the bloody Mist's initiator, Yagura, was sitting on his chair with his eyes dull. Before him, were a peculiar man: the hotel owner, Yamada Nagakyu.

Yamada's eyes shined crimson, and he started directly at Yagura.

Soon after that, the special patterns his eyes disappeared, and Yagura fell into sleep on his desk.

In the pit thousands of miles away, Uchiha Madara had his eyes closed, and he was looking even older than before. Beside him was a White Zetsu, holding a pair of three-tomoe Sharingans in closed glassware.

A few minutes later, Madara's eyes blew out blood and tears, and the Zetsu quickly opened the glassware and took out the eyes, handing them to Madara.
