Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 288 Sarutobi Hiruzen’s clone army!

Perhaps it's because Mizunoe Yue has been a hands-off boss for too long, and everyone in the Hidden Mist Village has gotten used to it.

Coupled with the various things that happened in the ninja world, under the manipulation of the women, Mizunotsuki's loss of contact did not have any impact on the Hidden Mist Village and was completely suppressed.

"I didn't expect you would actually fight Nagato."

Within the borders of Tang country.

Obito, who had returned from the moon and got what he wanted, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and others in front of him with some surprise.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others looked a little embarrassed, with torn clothes and dusty faces. Some of them, like Kakuzu's clone, had lost four hearts and were almost killed.

"The battle was forcibly stopped by relying on the nearly suicidal Dust Release of the Second Tsuchikage clone."

After listening to White Zetsu's report, Obito had some understanding of the battle situation at that time, and his eyes fell on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen completed the Kidome ritual just like him. Although he has not yet entered the Six Paths level, his strength is still not to be underestimated, and he can easily defeat Nagato.

In other words, while Sarutobi Hiruzen was stopping Nagato, the remaining members of the Akatsuki organization were still able to fight them to this extent.

Just relying on one Beiliuhu?

"The members of Akatsuki should not be underestimated. Except for Hiruko, the rest of the members have also transformed into spiritual power, and their combat power has been greatly improved." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "And the Samsara Eye... The leader of Akatsuki is very powerful. I can't take advantage of him. If this battle continues, the possibility of our defeat will be higher."

"That Nagato guy..."

Hearing this, Obito's expression beneath his mask darkened.

It is really ironic that Nagato, who should have been the sharp sword in his hands, and Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan, have now turned around and defected to Mizunoe Tsukiyomi and become her generals.

"That is to say, you are now completely exposed. Kirigakure and other ninja villages in the ninja world should be aware of your existence? Hehehe, clones... for the world, this is no less taboo than Impure World Reincarnation."

"Don't say meaningless words. I know these things better than you." Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Uchiha Obito, who seemed a little smug. Thinking of the recent defeat of the White Zetsu army, he had some guesses in his mind.

"Looking at your appearance, have you found an ally to fight against Mizunoe Tsukiyomi?"

"Ah, I found it, but I still need your help for the next plan."

Obito didn't say much. The existence of the Lunar Otsutsuki was more like a "myth and legend" to the world. Besides, Otsutsuki Toneri had already made it clear that they were not true allies until the prerequisites were met.

However, perhaps out of sincerity as an ally, or perhaps out of impatience for the 'Baiyan Princess', Ōtsutsuki Toneri has handed over the positioning of the tailed beasts to Obito.

Hearing Obito's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned: "What do you want to do?"

"Make some noise and attract some guys." Obito thought for a moment and said, "But I need you to give me a detailed plan first... How many Kage-level clones do you have?"

"..."

"tell him."

The voice in his mind dispelled Sarutobi Hiruzen's concerns. After hesitating for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Obito and said in a deep voice: "Come with me."

The two walked deeper into the base, and after some twists and turns, they came to a tightly closed door.

After using a special barrier hand seal to open it, Sarutobi Hiruzen pushed the door open and in just a moment, Obito's eyes suddenly widened!

"this!"

Obito's eyes were full of shock. Not only Obito, but anyone in the ninja world who saw the scene before them would be shocked with their eyes wide open and their hearts trembled.

Although the scene that came into view was not as vast as the White Zetsu army that appeared in Obito's hands, there were still dozens of people. Although many of their clones were duplicates, each of them was a person who was famous in history and could be found in the textbooks of the ninja world!

Toad Sage, Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas, and Momoko, the White Fang Flag of Konoha!
The second generation Tsuchikage Mu who possesses the bloodline of elimination, and the third generation Raikage Ai who can fight against ten thousand alone!

The demigod of the ninja world, Hanzo of the Salamander, and the puppet master Monzaemon!
The most important thing is that Obito also noticed several special-looking beings...

"I didn't expect you could even clone them all."

Obito's eyes focused on the people at the head and tail, and he said in an inexplicable tone: "They are your teachers, the Third Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes moved. If he wanted to, he didn't want to clone the two of them, but the dominant power was not in his hands.

Yes, at the forefront of all the clones at this moment are none other than Sarutobi Hiruzen’s former teacher, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and the First Hokage, who is known as the God of Ninja, Senju Hashirama!
If it was before the ceremony began, Obito would never have dared to imagine that Sarutobi Hiruzen could gather such a force in his hands. Even now, he was shocked by the power of this force.

Even if it is a clone, even if it has no memories and cannot fully exert 100% of the original owner's combat power, but if this power can be used well, it can be a sharp knife that can tear everything apart!
"You really are very patient, Sandaime..."

Obito spoke quietly, his eyes fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen: "As long as this plan succeeds, we can pull Mizunotsuki off the altar. Sandaime, you must help me with all your strength!"

"…What do you want to do?"

"Seize the tailed beast!" Obito said decisively, but after he finished speaking, he paused and said, "But before that, I have something I need your help with."

"what?"

"Do you know...Hyuga Hinata?"

……

The Fourth Shinobi World War was nearing its end with the lifting of the illusion, but the appearance of clones once again caused a stir in the ninja world.

The acting Kazekage Chiyo and the third Tsuchikage Ōnoki returned to their respective hidden villages, mended their past ways, and announced that they had joined the Allied Ninja Forces to fight against Obito.

However, there has been no sign of Obito in the ninja world, which gave people the illusion that the outcome was settled. But the information about the clones passed on by Nagato made the hearts of the people in the ninja world, who had just settled down, become tense again.

"What is going on? Why can someone who has been dead for a long time be resurrected? Is there someone else in this world who possesses the same power as the Mizukage?!"

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki asked with a serious look.

In the Kirigakure office, everyone who was holding a remote meeting with the help of equipment fell silent in the face of the Tsuchikage's questioning. Mizunoe Tsukiye's identity was extremely special, and he could even be considered the uncrowned king of the ninja world. Once something involved Mizunoe Tsukiye, it would naturally become extremely sensitive and special.

Even in today's Shadow Conference, Mizunotsuki did not even participate.

Yes, this was an impromptu meeting of the Kages, and the participants were the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, the Acting Kazekage Chiyo, the Acting Raikage Tsuchida, the Acting Hokage Danzo Shimura, and the Mizukage's secretary Mizunotsuki Akira.

Except for the Tsuchikage who is the official Kage, the rest are all acting Kages.

Although the Fourth Shinobi World War started off well but ended badly, it still caused considerable losses to the ninja world. For example, the Fourth Raikage was killed in the war, and the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails were plundered by Uchiha Obito. Only Dodai, a senior jonin, could serve as the temporary Raikage.

As for the acting Hokage...

The things happening in Konoha were extremely special and strange. Everyone knew that Uchiha Fugaku was under Mizunoe Tsukiyomi's command. However, under such circumstances, Konoha actually declared that Uchiha Fugaku had betrayed the village and the country, and was directly evaded by a unanimous vote of the Elders' Council. Then Danzo came to power.

Even Hyuga Hiashi agreed!

Anyone can see the problem here.

But no one said much. Everyone was waiting to see how Kirigakure would react. This was also one of the main reasons for holding this Shadow Conference.

"The power of the Yondaime cannot be replicated, and those guys didn't come back from the dead."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Mizunotsuki Akira said calmly, "According to the intelligence we have obtained, the enemy is a clone created using cloning technology. Although they look similar to the deceased martyrs and have similar abilities, they are completely new people... no, to be more precise, they are 'puppets'."

"Damn it! How dare you play with the body of a dead person!"

Acting Raikage Dodai growled, his expression extremely ugly: "Have you found out who is behind this? Is it that bastard Uchiha Obito?"

The life and death of the Fourth Raikage is unknown, the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails are lost, and the current Kumogakure has fallen to the bottom. Not only has it lost its leader, but even its two perfect Jinchūriki are gone. For the Kumogakure, this is a huge blow like a bolt from the blue!

"It's also possible that the guy has been operating in the dark since the outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi World War. Coupled with the special nature of White Zetsu, it's possible that the clone this time was created by Uchiha Obito."

"Yes, White Zetsu's special physique can replicate the physical body almost perfectly. The possibility that the mastermind behind this incident is Uchiha Obito is very high!"

“It doesn’t matter who is behind this. What’s important is to figure out why these guys created so many clones and what their next move will be.”

Acting Kazekage Chiyo said in a deep voice: "We can't let Uchiha Obito lead us by the nose like this any longer."

"If the person behind the clones is Uchiha Obito, then their purpose should be easy to guess." Shimura Danzo, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Don't forget why that guy started the Fourth Ninja World War."

"Tailed Beast?!"

Everyone present thought of this at the same time.

The loss of the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails made the world realize Obito's true purpose belatedly. If Obito was the man behind the cloning, then his ultimate goal should still be the tailed beasts.

Granny Chiyo said with an unpleasant expression: "Our One-Tail was taken away when this war broke out. Add to that the Two-Tail and Eight-Tail that were lost by Kumogakure this time, and Uchiha Obito has at least three tailed beasts in his hands."

"The fourth and fifth tails in my village have long been lost."

The Third Tsuchikage said this while looking at Mizunotsuki Akira.

The four-tailed, five-tailed, and seven-tailed beasts disappeared several years ago, but there has always been a rumor in the ninja world that the Hidden Mist Village is secretly controlling these tailed beasts.

However, due to Mizunoe Tsukiyomi's hegemony, everyone could only remain silent. But now, if Obito really came for the tailed beasts, then these tailed beasts would be extremely crucial.

"As for the tailed beasts, Kirigakure doesn't have much information, but the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails are indeed still in our village."

Mizunotsuki Jing said calmly, and did not reveal the news about the remaining Four-Tailed, Five-Tailed, and Seven-Tailed.

Mizuno Tsukiyomi had already planned the plan for the tailed beasts. At the beginning, Mizuno Tsukiyomi and others planned to use the chakra of the tailed beasts to assist the chakra of Ashura Indra, but considering the violent and uncontrollable chakra of the tailed beasts, and the fact that Mizuno Tsukiyomi had sufficient chakra sources in his hands, he chose the chakras of dragon veins, stars, etc.

Therefore, after the use of chakra sources such as dragon veins and stars, the tailed beasts became the new batteries of Kirigakure, maintaining the energy supply of many important areas including Kirigakure Village, Hueco Mundo, Shadow Islands, etc.

It is not reasonable for Mizunoe Jing to say anything nonsense.

The Three-Tails and the Six-Tails are still in the Hidden Mist Village, and there is no news about the Four-Tails, the Five-Tails, and the Seven-Tails, so the only one left is the most important Nine-Tails.

The eyes of Ōnoki, Chiyo and others all fell on Danzo, but Danzo looked at Mizunoe Akira.

"Out of consideration for the safety of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Fifth Hokage placed the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in the Hidden Mist Village at the beginning of the war." Mizunotsuki Jing said calmly: "In the Hidden Mist Village, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will not have any problems, please rest assured about this."

Everyone nodded.

If there is any place in this world that is absolutely safe, then it is undoubtedly the Hidden Mist Village today.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the appearance of the Shinigami captains made the world fully aware of how terrifying the combat power wielded by the Hidden Mist was. Coupled with the existence of the Quincies, the Hidden Mist Village, as its base camp, could be said to be impregnable and indestructible.

Placing the most important Nine-Tailed Fox in the Hidden Mist Village is definitely the wisest move.

but……

"Placing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in the Hidden Mist Village is indeed one of the few wise choices made by the Godaime, but Secretary, I have an unwelcome request."

Danzo suddenly spoke up, "The Hyuga clan leader asked me before the meeting, saying that he hadn't seen Miss Hinata for a long time and missed her very much. When do you think you can let Miss Hinata return to Konoha?"

"Oh?"

Mizunotsuki Jing looked at Danzo with some surprise.

What happened between Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku in Konoha happened so quickly that before they, Kirigakure, could react, the situation in Konoha had already been determined.

There must be something fishy going on here. Apart from anything else, it makes no sense that Hiashi and Fugaku, who have been in cahoots with Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, would not support each other.

Unexpectedly, before Kirigakure even started to deal with Konoha's affairs, it was Danzo who took the lead!
