Shinigami Jinchuriki In Naruto

---

Konoha Ninja Village. Hokage's Office.

The Third Hokage... or rather, Sarutobi Hiruzen, sat at his desk. A large pipe rested on the table, but he didn't seem to have any intention of smoking.

Shimura Danzo sat quietly in a chair beside him, his expression slightly vacant, as if still recovering from the Second Hokage's death.

Just a day ago, he had lost the competition against Sarutobi. He hadn't had the courage to stay behind as a rearguard, and he was abandoned by the Second Hokage, watching helplessly as the Second Hokage declared Sarutobi as the Third Hokage.

On the windowsill, a clean-cut young man squatted, his blood-red eyes a mark of his unique lineage. A ninja sword hung diagonally behind him. This was their teammate, Uchiha Kagami.

Uchiha Kagami looked out the window, where Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were returning with them. Both were surrounded by different clansmen, tirelessly explaining their situation from the battlefield over and over again.

Yes, the entire team had returned, except for the Second Hokage.

"The situation isn't good," Uchiha Kagami broke the silence in the office.

"Have Homura and Koharu finished explaining?" Danzo asked, hearing him.

Uchiha Kagami let out a scornful laugh. "Explain? This isn't an explanation, it's an interrogation."

Danzo glanced at Sarutobi, who didn't respond.

Both knew how troublesome the current situation was.

Two hours ago, the leader of the Senju clan, Senju Mokuma, and the leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Untai, had practically stormed out of the Hokage's office, their voices filled with rage.

[ShixT9: Idk about the clan leaders at this era, do you? Was this ever mentioned in the anime or manga?]

Yes, the Second Hokage's death was too sudden. A few young people returned to Konoha, suddenly claiming Sarutobi as the Third Hokage. No one could accept it.

Even Sarutobi himself was surprised when he heard it. Until the Second Hokage's announcement, Danzo was still trying to claim the position.

For Senju Mokuma, the leader of the Senju clan, it was even harder to understand. After all, he was an elder of the same generation as the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

[ShixT9: The only leaders I know at this time is Butsuma which is Hashirama's father.]

"The last two Hokages of Konoha were both from the Senju clan. You come back without any proof, and you casually declare that the Third Hokage is Sarutobi? It's outrageous!"

The leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Untai, couldn't accept it either.

[ShixT9: Also this one, Fugaku's father? He wasn't mentioned in the anime tho.]

"Long before the Second Hokage took office, the First Hokage had established a rule. Even the Second Hokage should have been from the Uchiha clan. Now that the Second Hokage has passed away, unless you provide evidence, we will not agree to this unclear handover to an outsider!"

Sarutobi knew that the so-called "from the Uchiha clan" referred to Uchiha Madara. However, that man was too terrifying, becoming a taboo subject.

The Uchiha clan had been ostracized during Tobirama's tenure, and he had been able to suppress them while he was alive. Now that Tobirama was gone, the Uchiha clan had instantly become a powder keg.

[ShixT9: I'm not gonna overthink the names, they're minor characters anyway, as long as I get the major character's name right then it's all good.]

The two clans, on whom Konoha had heavily relied, had suddenly become a raging tide that could overturn Konoha.

"What should we do?" Uchiha Kagami looked at Sarutobi.

A young boy's image suddenly appeared in Sarutobi's mind.

"Go find Mizuno."

...

...

Half an hour later.

Akimichi Chōza arranged the table and chairs, almost respectfully inviting a boy who was half his age into the office.

Mizuno looked at the four people in the office, their brows furrowed with worry, and walked in.

"I really didn't expect you to call me over," Mizuno said.

Honestly, Sarutobi was truly a man for great deeds. In this situation, he would actually trust a boy who looked only about fifteen years old.

"I noticed you from the moment you advised the Second Hokage not to go," Sarutobi said. "Edo Tensei was also developed with your assistance, wasn't it?"

Mizuno nodded. "What do you want me to do?"

Sarutobi said, "You are the only one in the entire Konoha Village who anticipated this situation. I just want to know if you have any follow-up solutions."

Uchiha Kagami and Shimura Danzo's eyes shot over simultaneously. They still harbored some doubts about this child.

Mizuno pondered for a long time.

"An monitored laboratory and a person."

This was the condition for helping Sarutobi.

The others didn't understand, but Sarutobi was the first to grasp it. His eyes gleamed with light.

"No problem. Who do you want?"

Mizuno pointed to Uchiha Kagami beside him. "I want him."

Of the four abilities of the Death God, one was the Blood Contract. Mizuno needed someone from the Uchiha clan to sign a contract with him.

Uchiha Kagami finally reacted. "Hey, kid, are you looking for a master?"

Sarutobi nodded. "If you can really break this deadlock, I'll have no problem with this after I become Hokage."

Mizuno glanced out the window. "Okay, then I'll solve the immediate problem first."

As soon as they finished speaking, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were pushed aside by the people outside. Senju Mokuma came to the office again.

"Sarutobi, you're not qualified to sit at this desk."

Sarutobi raised his head. "I am the Third Hokage."

Mokuma snorted. "Who can prove it for you?"

Mizuno suddenly stood up. "I can."

Mokuma was stunned for a moment; he couldn't remember who this inconspicuous child was.

"You?"

Mizuno drew the attention of the Senju clan, then took out a scroll from his hand. "This is the biological cell that the Second Hokage asked me to prepare before he left. It's from the Second Tsuchikage, Mu."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was in an uproar. Mizuno had helped Tobirama develop Edo Tensei, and they all knew what this biological cell meant.

"You mean, Tobirama-sama used Edo Tensei to resurrect the Second Tsuchikage in the end?"

Mizuno nodded. "Mu's ability is kekkei tōta, Dust Release. The destruction it caused on the battlefield is unique. You'll know if you observe the Second Hokage's remains a little."

Senju Mokuma hurriedly called a clan member. "Is that right?"

The clan member had participated in the rescue team and immediately nodded. "That's right. We found the Second Hokage's body, and there were indeed traces of strange large-scale destruction nearby."

"You didn't find Mu either, did you?" Mizuno said.

The man was stunned and instinctively nodded.

Mizuno said, "That's normal. Edo Tensei, even if the caster is killed, won't be undone. Mu himself has the ability to become invisible."

As he said this, Senju Mokuma's eyes lit up. "You mean, the Second Tsuchikage might still be alive... no, still in the ninja world?"

Mizuno nodded. "Mu participated in this battle. As long as you find him, you can naturally get another perspective. Then, you can ask each other and verify."

At this point, Uchiha Kagami suddenly reacted. He was about to speak, but Sarutobi gave him a restraining look.

"Good!" Mokuma said. "No matter where he is, we Senju clan will find him. The appointment of the Third Hokage of Konoha can't be so unclear. Sarutobi, if Mu confirms that the Second Hokage didn't appoint you, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
