Chapter 32 - 14: Massacre/Back

Nori and his clones then began to make several seals

"Katon : Dragon Flame Jutsu!" × 40

"Fūton : Great Breakthrough" ×40

"Katon : Incandescent Fire cloud !!!!"×80

A gigantic wave of blue flame ravaged everything on their way through a perimeter of 30m

At the same time nine of Suna's ten ninjas ahead quickly executed seals and then struck their palms against the ground.

"Dôton: The sand ramparts!"

Nori's attack encountered several sand walls before dissipating, the sand began to melt, the ninjas behind the sand walls feeling the heat began to perform different ninjutsu and attacked Nori from all directions.

But he dodged them, one by one, and then suna's ninjas threw themselves towards Nori, this time using the tactic of human wave.

"For Suna die demon!"

"Die!"

"For Suna!!!"

"Ahhgg!"

But he would die before he touched his clothes, every slash of Nori was equal to the death of a ninja, but they made no attempt to flee, their eyes were red, their expression could not hide their madness as they attacked Nori even though they knew that the most likely outcome was death.

A few minutes later, a thousand corpses lay on the ground, dried to death, burnt, cut into pieces, a bloody smell enveloped all ground in 10km, the sandy ground was covered with crevices, traces of burns, the previous fortress was completely annihilated.

Only a young man with short black blood-covered hair holding a short sword looked at 10 ninjas in red armor who had surrounded him.

"You are brave not to have fled, i respect that, but I must still killed you." Says Nori with a cold voice.

Nine of the ten ninjas then removed their armor, revealing their bodies covered with seals.

"Um... self-destruct seals? Suna really wants me dead." Nori said with a smile that sent shivers down the spine of the ten ninajs.

"These aren't just self-destruct seals, Nori Hisamatsu, they're seals containing more power than ten class S ninjutsu!" Shout out one of the ten ninjas.

"We are Suna ninjas, our duty is to serve and protect our village. Die! Konoha Ninja" shouted the ten at the same time, planting a Kunai in their hearts.

"Gear Two : Phase 2"

The seals engraved on their bodies began to glow red but at the same time a black aura came out of Nori's body.

Then the next second, the ten Suna's ninjas fell to the ground with their bodies divided into dozens of pieces.

Then Nori looked at their bodies and whispered...

"Whatever the seal is once the pattern and the lines are separated, they become mere children's doodles."

Then he gradually disappeared into the desert, leaving a carnage behind him.

...

....

Two days later Nori, who was walking in the desert heading northeast towards Kiri, stopped, then a few seconds later a young blond man wearing a Konoha headband followed by three teenagers came to him.

"Who are you?"

"Nori-Sama my name is Minato Namikaze and these are my three students." Says Minato with a slight smile.

"We come to bring you a message from the Hokage." He said as he took a blue scroll out of his bag and handed it to Nori.

Nori took the scroll and after a brief reading nodded his head and said

"Then let's go back to the village."

"As you wish, Nori-Sama." Then the four followed Nori, who tried to run without outrunning them, maintaining normal speed and gradually moving towards the border of the Land of Fire, the night fall quickly, Nori was forced to stop because two of his travel companions (Obito and Rin) were tired, but fortunately he had already arrived in the Land of Fire, while Minato's group was making a campfire, Nori was lying on a branch farther away, his eyes closed, meditating.

"Sensei who this person is, he gives me the creeps." Said obito looking at Nori further away, with his clothes stained with blood and his eye scarred, with chills in back.

Hearing Obito's question, Kakashi and Rin also looked at Minato with curiosity.

Minato then smiled and answered

"This is Nori Hisamatsu, the famous Ninjas of Konoha, which I'm sure you've heard about lately."

"What? Then it's him!" Obito shouted but quickly lowered his voice as he glanced in the direction of Nori while unconsciously swallowing a sip of saliva.

"So this is Guy's master." Kakashi murmured

"But Sensei, why do we have to take him back to Konoha?" Asked Rin

"You'll find out later." Minato replied.

The night passed peacefully, two days later, Nori arrived in front of the large familiar door and then, at Minato's request, they went together discreetly to the Hokage's office.

Entering the office Sarutobi raised his head of his doc.u.ments and looked Nori, Nori also looked at him for a moment, then Sarutobi laughed happily.

"Greeting Hokage." Says Nori

"Hahaha You really surprised me, welcome back Konoha."

"Minato, you and your team have successfully completed your missions, you may take your leave."

"Thank you Hokage-Sama" said Minato as he left the office followed by his students.

Then Nori and Sarutobi looked at each other again.

"Nori, you must have already understood why I called you here."

"I have my suspicions, but if it's what I think it is, I refuse."

The Hokage then remained silent, slowly got up from his seat, took his pipe, put on tobacco and lit it, then invited Nori to follow him on the roof.

Arriving, Nori and Sarutobi looked the landscape, a gentle fresh wind was blowing as he stood below the faces of the three Hokage carved into the rock.

"Nori thanks to you the village of iwa asked for a ceasefire agreement, the village of Suna having also suffered terrible losses even asked for a peace agreement, the other villages even withdrew their troops from the border thanks to you alone, peace is not far away."

"You've done something that only the first Hokage would have been able to do, some already call you the second ninja god, your popularity in the village is at its peak, the patriarchs of the Nara clan, Yamanaka and Akimichi, the two elders and I fully support you."

"If you become Hokage, the war will stop completely and peace will return, I'm ready to retire."

"I'm not cut out to stay in an office." Nori replied.

"But don't you want peace?" Asked Sarutobi

"I've been following your every move since you got out of Konoha, I know that you opened an orphanage in Edo, tell me why you did it." Sarutobi asked.

Nori thought of that stupid kid, who always kept smiling despite their fate, of Haya, even though she was sick, who took care of them, of those children who liked to cling to him by calling him Nori-sensei.

He helped them, perhaps because he was also an orphan in his past life?

Maybe because protecting them gave him unconsciously a purpose in this new life?

Or maybe because he just wanted to.

Seeing Nori pensive, Sarutobi took a big puff of smoke and then asked

"Nori Hisamatsu, I'm gonna ask you one last time, will you take on the duty of fourth Hokage and honor your predecessors!?"
