Konoha: The inherently evil Uchiha.

When he saw his beloved disciple, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart skipped a beat and he immediately lowered his head in shame.

The Sandaime Hokage of Konoha.

Now it has fallen to this point.

What he feared most was seeing his former confidants, especially those who were still alive.

Seeing this, Danzo next door raised the corner of his mouth, and a hint of teasing appeared on his originally numb expression.

Naturally, he had already accepted his fate.

So, he is shameless. No matter who he meets now, he can't change the status quo anyway. So what if he meets old acquaintances?
In this respect, Danzo is better than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to escape, but Tsunade didn't think so.

She indeed hadn't seen her teacher for a long time. To be honest, in her spare time she had never thought about her youthful years when she followed Sarutobi Hiruzen to learn martial arts. That was naturally unlikely.

Tsunade came to the front of the assembly line.

Tamao brought a chair for his sister-in-law, placed it next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then left tactfully.

Tsunade sat next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, watching her teacher skillfully assembling parts for the Air Ninja Gun. His technique was very swift and it was obvious that he was a veteran.

"..." Tsunade was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Teacher."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing, he lowered his head to assemble the guns, then placed the assembled guns on the assembly line to pass them down to be assembled by other Edo ninjas, which greatly increased the efficiency of the assembly.

Shizune was holding the little piglet, standing behind Tsunade, silent.

"Are you here to see my joke?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly.

He wanted to regain the dignity he once had, but after so many years of torture, his personality had become distorted, and he became inferior and cowardly.

Tsunade shook her head and said:
"No, I didn't know you worked here until I came here."

Sarutobi Hiizhan's face was gloomy.

good very good!

Obviously, Tsunade has never paid attention to herself, but this is normal.

If he asked Tsunade to do him some favors, he would be harming his own disciple.

"You don't have to pretend that you don't know me well. Our relationship will not change because of our different positions." Tsunade said calmly: "I didn't come here to laugh at you. I just came out to relax and complain."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it and wanted to speak, but finally gave up.

he knows.

His apprentice should need someone to listen to him, but the mechanical equipment in the factory was roaring, and even Danzo on the assembly line next door could not hear the conversation between the two of them. This was not a good environment for a chat.

Tsunade continued:

"Teacher, what do you think of the current situation in the ninja world?"

After a period of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but speak. After all, this involved the area he was best at, and over the years, he naturally had an in-depth understanding of the ninja world.

But it is useless to tell these opinions to Danzo. They must be told to the people in power in Konoha Village. Only then will they be useful and can they be adopted to some extent.

Right now, this might be his only chance in this life.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice:
"After the merger of the five major ninja villages, Konoha should not rest, but should make a concerted effort to clean up all the dirt on the edge of the ninja world."

Tsunade nodded, her expression unchanged, and said, "Yes, but Master Yin Yue meant that we should let them develop first, and when the time is right, they will take the initiative to jump out."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said:

"It's not impossible. Anyway, with Konoha's current strength, no force in the ninja world can compete with it. We can do whatever we want, but I still think we have to be quick!"

Although he did not have all the intelligence information about the current ninja world, from the surface, it seemed that Yinyue was in a hurry now.

This urgency is reflected in the rectification of the five major ninja villages.

Originally, absorbing the ninja village was an extremely slow and complicated project.

But now, Yinyue mixed the five major ninja villages together in one breath.

This is like forcing five unpolished parts into a container. In the short term, nothing may go wrong, but once development reaches a certain point, the operating parts will cause the entire container to collapse due to incompatibility.

This was also the situation in the past when the five major ninja villages existed in a three-way stalemate, and there was no case of annexation of a major ninja village.

Even if the big ninja village annexed the small ninja village, it would be a task that required a long period of consideration and the matters to be determined very carefully.

This is an indispensable preparation to ensure that the large ninja village can continue to operate normally after the annexation of the small ninja village.

Yinyue forcibly absorbed the five major ninja villages. He was indeed qualified to suppress the five major ninja villages and force them to merge together.

This explains it from the side.

The ninja world of the future will surely encounter some extremely terrible disasters, and all humans must unite to overcome them.

Of course, what exactly this is, is now clear to all ninjas and ordinary people in the entire ninja world. It is the invasion of the ninja world by the Otsutsuki clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew this.

In this environment.

He felt that Konoha had to hurry up. Since it had already forcibly merged the five major ninja villages, it would be better to unify the entire ninja world and digest it slowly.

But the key is.

Yinyue was not in a hurry to clean up the dirt that seemed easy to clean up.

After hearing what Tsunade said, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally understood what Yin Yue was planning.

Yinyue has a really big appetite.

At the moment, he has no main reason to let Konoha take the initiative to attack. I'm afraid he wants the scraps in the ninja world to take the initiative to help Konoha gather all the scattered organizations and ninja clans.

Then Konoha will swallow them all in one gulp.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and fell into deep thought again. After Tsunade stood up, he stared at her back and said seriously:
"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I am indeed not a qualified Hokage."

Tsunade shook her head.

She knows it too.

The current situation has caused my teacher to fall to this point, that's all. If the situation changes, my teacher may not become like this.

She ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen and looked at Tamao: "Let's go!"

"Okay!" Duo Moxiong said with a silly smile, "Sir, take care!"

At this moment, the space began to distort and mosaic-like square modules appeared.

And from the deep space, half a body emerged. It was Kaguya Otsutsuki, with long silver-white hair and a cold face.

She didn't lean out completely.

Instead, he was floating in Yomi Hirasaka, looking at Tsunade who was standing in front of him.

This scene frightened Tsunade enough, but Tamao behind her said excitedly:

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

Kaguya looked up at Tamao and nodded slightly to him, indicating that she heard his greeting.

You know, there are very few people who can make her respond.

Tsunade sighed inwardly.

It turns out that this kid, who calls everyone sister-in-law, is really smart. After Kaguya responded to Tamao, she looked at Tsunade and said immediately:

"We were attacked by the rebel ninja organization and the Prajna organization in the Snow Country."

Hearing this, Tsunade's eyes lit up and her mind was filled with mixed thoughts. Attacking the Snow Country, what was the difference between this behavior and suicide?
She said in a deep voice: "Do you need me to arrange some personnel outside the Snow Country?"

Tsunade thought that Kaguya didn't want to be disturbed by those ninja bugs, so she came to tell her about this.

Kaguya shook her head and said:
“No need to send anyone. Through Fenghua Xiaoxue’s in-depth follow-up investigation, we found that the top leaders of these organizations are already plotting to unite.

In addition, they have decided to formally declare war on Konoha in the name of jointly resisting Konoha's hegemony. I came here to tell you this."

Tsunade's eyes widened, but soon her expression calmed down and she smiled:
"Just as Yinyue guessed, those guys will jump out on their own initiative."

Seeing Tsunade's expression, Kaguya immediately stopped worrying and said calmly, "Contact me if you need help."

Originally, she asked Fenghua Xiaoxue to interrogate the captured trio at sea, but Fenghua Xiaoxue felt that things might not be that simple.

So Fenghua Xiaoxue suggested to infiltrate the organization of these three guys and collect more intelligence information.

If there is no useful information.

They can directly uproot the entire organization and make some contribution to the ninja village.

After making the decision, Kaguya took Fuuka and Koyuki and infiltrated the maritime organization based on the information provided by the maritime trio.

Then, the two of them successfully intercepted an important invitation letter.

Knowing that someone in the ninja world was organizing these rebel ninja organizations and small ninja villages, he was preparing to take action against Konoha.

Originally, those organizations wanted to steal information from Konoha Village in the Snow Country, but unexpectedly, the information was now being stolen in the opposite direction.

After confirming that those organizations were going to unite to deal with Konoha, Kaguya went to Konoha and told Tsunade this information.

Tsunade replied seriously:

"Thank you for your hard work. You and Xiaoxue investigated this matter in advance, which has helped the Ninja Village gain an advantage in this war. You just need to have a good rest in the Snow Country. We will take care of the rest. After this, no one will disturb your holiday life."

Kaguya nodded slightly, then went into Yomi Hirasaka and disappeared.

This was the most she had ever spoken to an outsider, and if it weren't for the ninja world, she wouldn't have condescended to do this.

Of course, what Kaguya just said was heard by Tamao, Shizune, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others behind Tsunade.

This means war is coming.

If Tsunade hadn't advised Kaguya to have a good rest, Kaguya would have been able to deal with those small fry by herself.

"Good, very good!" Tsunade's lips curled up, without any panic, she said excitedly: "I've been waiting for this opportunity, to settle the ninja world as soon as possible, so that I can retire early and go on vacation!"

To be honest, she did envy Kaguya's current leisurely life.

But everyone now has a different position in the ninja world. If she wants to rest, she must wait until the ninja world is completely at peace.

Tsunade thought about it, turned her head to look at Shizune who was ready for battle, and said in a deep voice: "Hold a meeting of the top leaders of the ninja village tonight to draw up a battle plan!"

Shizune said seriously: "Yes——"

After saying that, she quickly left the ninja tool processing factory holding the little piglet.

Tamao said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, I also want to go to the front line. I really want to make progress."

Tsunade looked back at Tamao and didn't respond to the guy.

...

...

The night is as dark as ink and the stars are shining brightly.

Ninja world.

edge.

To the east, in the coastal area, the sea breeze is blowing gently, the waves are beating against the harbor pier, and occasionally seabirds fly high in the night sky and land on the sails of the ships.

Inside the high-level conference room of the most famous hotel nearby, the room that should have been bright now appeared a little dim.

Around the round table.

The seats were already full of people, and deputies were standing behind them.

Sitting on the main seat was a guy wearing warrior armor and a ghost mask.

He is the leader of the Prajna organization which has been particularly active in the ninja world recently.

A scheming and skillful ninja who never shows his true face to others.

He looked around.

Seeing that all the invitees had arrived, he nodded with satisfaction, clasping his hands together and supporting his chin.

On both sides of the round table sat the top leaders of the most powerful and influential ninja organizations that now roamed the edge of the ninja world, apart from the five major ninja villages and the various smaller ninja villages.

Such as the notorious Three Evil Ninjas, the Xuanyuan people who dared to plunder the Hidden Cloud Village and were not afraid of the Raikage, and the high-ranking officials of the major ninja organizations on the sea.

"Everyone, I have explained clearly the purpose of inviting you all here in the invitation letter. Since you trust me and are here, you obviously agree to this proposal."

The leader of the Prajna group whispered.

His voice was hoarse and low, giving people the feeling of speaking like an old man.

The leader of the Xuanyuan people was also wearing a cloth mask at this time. His eyes were like blades, flashing a chilling light that was captivating.

The Xuanyuan leaders were just the Prajna leaders, and they said seriously: "Uniting to deal with Konoha is the general trend of the times. In their eyes, people like us are naturally not allowed to exist."

Seeing that the Xuanyuan leaders had this realization, the Prajna leaders nodded in satisfaction.

But the Xuanyuan leaders suddenly changed the subject.

He said coldly:

"However, after we unite, where should the resources be accumulated and whose orders should be obeyed both inside and outside the country? This is crucial!"

As he said that, the leader of the Xuanyuan group stood up and stared at everyone: "To be honest, I don't think that you can fight Konoha by uniting together. I also don't think that you have the brains to lead us, the Xuanyuan group."

After hearing this, the atmosphere in the conference room became even more depressing.

Obviously, as the only remaining ninja organizations in the ninja world, they naturally do not get along with each other.

Now they can get here.

It is also because of the situation.

It is a last resort.

If Konoha didn't have plans to take action against them right now, they would definitely not think of joining forces.

clap clap-

Applause suddenly broke out.

The leader of the Prajna group clapped softly, and the crisp applause echoed in the dimly lit conference room.

He said frankly:
“We do need a strong man who can lead us, but we don’t expect him to be as strong as that Moon Drinker.

But at least he can lead us to make correct judgments and the most correct decisions under the current situation in the ninja world.

But obviously, there is no such genius among us, so I propose that the top leaders of our organization form a decision-making group, with each party holding one vote, and use voting to decide the direction of the decision. How do you think?"

Then, the Prajna leader said calmly: "As for the integration of resources in the organization after the union, and the direction of inclination, it will naturally be allocated according to the situation. If you have any objections, you can speak up and express them bravely." (End of this chapter)
