Konoha, was reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

Chapter 469 Li Yao is not dead
shhhhhh!
In the distance, the sound of ninjas jumping among the trees could be heard.

Minato stood up and came down from the tree, waiting quietly.

Li Yao is not dead and has returned as an Iwagakure ninja. This information must be reported immediately to the people in the Rain Country troops.

Otherwise, if Li Yao attacks with his ninjutsu attack that is comparable to the tailed beast jade, the casualties will only be huge.

"You are...Lord Minato!"

The five root ninjas who gathered around were about to take action when they saw the famous Namikaze Minato and were immediately shocked.

Especially after seeing the injuries on Minato's hands.

This was a man who instantly killed more than fifty Iwagakure ninjas. How could anyone allow him to be so seriously injured?

"Take me to see Lord Danzo quickly. I have important information to report."

The Minato team's mission to go deep into the Earth Kingdom and go to Iwagakure to determine the disappearance of the fourth Tsuchikage was issued by Danzo.

The strength of those four people is indeed terrifying.

"If the disappearance of the Fourth Tsuchikage is confirmed to be true this time, it will be a big opportunity for me to be the first to defeat Iwagakure."

"Danzo-sama, Namikaze Minato is back."

Now that Li Yao appears, Minato must report the information to Danzo as soon as possible.

Among the five people at the root, one person stood up.

Inside the valley camp.

"Hmm...so fast?"

In the past few years, Orochimaru, who has mastered Wood Release, Konoha White Fang, who has developed the Thunder of Destruction, Yellow Flash, who has the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Jiraiya, the great fame these four people have gained in the war has made the four become Danzo was completely excluded as a strong candidate for the next Hokage in everyone's mind.

It was obvious that Danzo was able to withstand Iwagakure's large-scale attack by himself, but in the end, everyone's eyes stayed on those four people.

After hearing what his subordinates said, a trace of astonishment flashed across Danzo's face behind the desk.

Danzo's eyes flashed fiercely.

There are various detonating talisman traps in this area, and someone must carry them to pass through them safely.

"follow me."

"Orochimaru... White Fang, Golden Flash, what qualifications do you people have to run for Hokage? I have done so many things for Konoha, and only I am qualified to be the next Hokage."

Danzo stood in front of the desk, looking at the various information on it with his eyes full of thought.

"Lord Danzo!"

But now, as long as he is the first to defeat Iwagakure and gain huge benefits for Konoha, no one can stop him from becoming Hokage after the war.

He must seize the opportunity like the disappearance of the fourth Tsuchikage.

Danzo was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it for the moment.

When Danzo fantasizes about becoming the Fourth Hokage, a root ninja enters Danzo's tent.

Danzo's eyes flashed with light, and he once again sorted out the information in his hands, thinking about the most correct response.

"The security force found the injured Namikaze Minato outside. They are currently rushing to Danzo-sama. They should arrive soon."

"Minato is hurt?"

Danzo was startled again and took a few steps to come to his men.

"Is the injury serious?" Sandai asked quietly with a flash of his eyes.

"A layer of flesh was shaved off the right arm, but other than that, there were no other injuries."

"That's it!"

Danzo was a little disappointed. If he was seriously injured, he wouldn't mind finding an opportunity to get rid of Namikaze Minato, the biggest threat.

Compared to Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Konoha White Fang.

Danzo knew very well that each of these three people had their own problems. There was a threat to him taking the position of the Fourth Hokage, but it was not that big.

On the contrary, Danzo, who knew his old gay friend Hiruzen was very clear about the kind of person he was, knew that Minato, an obedient boy who was easily trapped by favors, could not lose face and was willing to listen to the old man's words, was the biggest threat.

With a perfect character, and most importantly with the support of that bastard Hiruzen, Minato has a better chance than anyone else of becoming the next Hokage. Danzo would not allow this.

It's a pity... Minato, who has mastered the Flying Thunder God and has terrifying abnormal neurological reaction speed, is too difficult to kill.

Even though his right arm was injured and he couldn't form the seal, as long as his mind was clear, no one could keep Minato who could still use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But...who could let Minato get hurt?

Danzo was curious, and then he thought of something and asked, "Besides Minato, is there anyone else?"

"Nothing."

Hmm... Danzo's eyes lit up slightly. Minato was injured, but his companions didn't come back. This familiar plot reminded him of a certain operation in the past.

Don't worry, wait until you meet Minato.

Danzo smiled inwardly.

Not a moment.

Minato followed the root ninja to Danzo.

Danzo, who saw Minato's injury in person, his eyes narrowed, and he was even more curious about who caused Minato's arm to be injured so badly, and at the same time, he frowned secretly.

Someone who could hurt Minato to such an extent had extraordinary strength.

"Lord Danzo, Li Yao is not dead, he is back."

"Li...Li Yao!!!"

Danzo was a little unresponsive at first and was stunned for a moment. After a moment, when he reacted, his expression suddenly changed. He took a few steps forward and reached out to grab Minato, but Minato dodged it.

Minato also knew something about this Dark Ninja.

Although he loves and trusts everyone in Konoha, he also knows that there are some people in Konoha who need to be wary.

Danzo is one of the people he needs to be wary of, especially now that his arm is injured.

Danzo didn't care at all about Minato hiding from him at this time. He was completely shocked by the meaning of what Minato just said.

"Tell me again, what happened to Li Yao?" Danzo stared at Minato intently.

"He should be a ninja who took Iwagakure's body now..." Minato told the entire story of the encounter and battle with Li Yao's Earth Escape clone, Shi Yan.

After hearing Li Yao's Earth Escape clone, Shi Yan, say to Minato that he hadn't seen him for a long time, Danzo was sure that Li Yao was right.

"That guy...is really not dead!"

Thinking that a few years ago, Li Yao's son was taken away by a mysterious Explosive Ninja in the root base, Danzo had some speculations at that time.

It's just that the strength displayed by the mysterious blast ninja at that time was so incredible that Danzo didn't even dare to chase him.

He believed that if Li Yao was really the secret explosive ninja and had that kind of terrifying strength, he would be fully capable of killing him and Hiruzen to take revenge on Konoha.

But the mysterious explosive ninja didn't do that.

In addition, there was a complete loss of news about the mysterious explosive ninja.

Over time, Danzo stopped paying attention to the speculation that Li Yao might not be dead but that he was the mysterious Explosive Release ninja.

I think Li Yao should be dead.

After all, Danzo has seen the power of Dust Release before, and no one can withstand the attack of Dust Release head-on without dying.

But now, after hearing the whole process of Namikaze Minato's encounter with the Iwagakure ninja, Danzo's suspicions were verified.

The mysterious explosive ninja back then was Li Yao.

Although I don’t know why Li Yao didn’t kill him or attack Konoha back then.

But the mysterious blast ninja attacked the three hidden villages of Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure. This was a naked act of revenge.

Who else had this intention if not Li Yao.

"Trouble!"

When he thought that Li Yao was not dead, and when he thought about the guesswork of Li Yao's abilities revealed when the Five Shadows surrounded and killed Li Yao, Danzo instantly felt paralyzed.
