Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 106: Sarutobi Hiruzen gets hard! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

In the Tree World Forest, Xingxia Xiu opened his eyes and said, "I failed after all!"

Although stealing the home is fun, it is extremely difficult.

Even though Ōnoki is not here, even though Iwagakure is at war, the number of troops dispatched by Iwagakure is not large, and there are still a large number of ninjas in the village.

Especially the Iwagakure ninja who is good at earth escape and has a lot of experience in dealing with the Five-Tails.

Change the terrain, restrict movement, and then create a barrier.

The final seal!
However, losses are inevitable.

"Onoki will probably be restless once he hears the news!"

Xingxiaxiu said secretly.

Danzo's intention, besides taking the Five-Tails as a bargaining chip, was to force Ōnoki to back down even if he failed.

The purpose was to prevent Sarutobi Hiruzen from having to stay on the battlefield for long.

Konoha is always unstable without a strong person in charge.

Standing up, Hoshita Hide was about to go report to Danzo, but Aburame Ryoma jumped over and said, "Captain, the Third Hokage is here!"

Xing Xiaxiu was cheered up after hearing this: "I understand, let's go!"

……

A moment later, in a wooden house, Hoshita Hide saw Sarutobi Hiruzen dressed in combat gear.

"Third Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama!"

After greeting, Xingxia Xiu immediately said: "The memory of the clone just came back and failed to capture the Five-Tailed Fox."

Danzo had already told Sarutobi Hiruzen about the plan against the Five-Tails, so Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised when he heard it. He nodded slightly and said, "This does not affect the overall situation."

"But, A, are you sure you can completely control the Four-Tails?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Third Hokage, there is no problem at all. I have already cultivated into the Sage Mode and mastered the First Hokage's sealing technique, the Myojinmon, which is enough to suppress the Four-Tails."

After hearing about the Myojin Gate, Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely relieved and made his final decision.

But he didn't say anything at this moment, instead he turned to Danzo and said, "The Tsuchikage will soon know about the attack on the Five-Tails. In that case, let's wait a while before going to see him."

Xing Xiaxiu felt a little regretful after hearing this.

Most likely, there will be no fight.

He actually hoped that Sarutobi Hiruzen could fight Ōnoki.

However, if we just compare the abilities of both sides, it is estimated that if a fight breaks out, neither side will be able to defeat the other.

Ōnoki can fly in the air, but he's a bit slow in swinging forward with Dust Release.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has comprehensive abilities, including the Five Elements Great Link and the Golden Cudgel.

……

When he came out of the cabin, Xingxia Xiu saw Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

"show!"

"Hideki-kun!"

The four of them greeted each other, chatted for a few minutes, and then parted ways.

Returning to his own cabin, Xingxia Xiu continued his practice.

He needs to develop the spore technique as soon as possible, and then his space-time ninjutsu will be officially formed.

In the blink of an eye, it was night.

In the Iwagakure camp.

Ohnoki looked at the information sent from the village with a gloomy expression.

Gobi was almost gone.

Although it was saved, it also suffered heavy losses.

More than fifty people were killed or injured.

There are five confirmed Jonins who died in the battle.

"Damn boy..."

Ohnoki now wishes he could cut Hoshita Hide into pieces.

Or, go to Konoha and have a go.

Unfortunately, this is obviously not possible.

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Ohnoki realized the purpose of Konoha's actions.

He really couldn't stay on the battlefield for too long.

However, the Wood Release User was too difficult to deal with.

Ordinary jonin simply cannot deal with it.

Even elite jonin have a hard time.

Yamatsu, an experienced and elite jonin, died at the hands of Hoshita Hide.

After much thought, Ohnoki came up with only one solution: Send more troops!

Without any hesitation, Ōnoki immediately sent a message back to the village.

Increase troops!

Then, Ohnoki began to think about how to negotiate with Konoha next.

There is no hope of getting the four tails back now, but we must ensure it in the future.

In addition, Konoha has four more tails besides the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Especially since that kid was able to master the power of the Four-Tails so easily, the threat was even greater.

"In that case..."

Ohnoki made a decision.

Give the information to the other three major ninja villages for free.

Especially Yunyin!
"No one would want Konoha to become more powerful, especially the strength of a Wood Release user."

"Perhaps we can unite with Kumogakure and Sunagakure to force Konoha to hand over the Wood Release User."

Ohnoki came up with a less likely plan.

Even if Konoha cannot be forced to compromise and hand over the Wood Release User and the Four-Tails, there is a high possibility that the three villages will join forces to deal with Konoha.

Immediately, Ohnoki sent another order, asking someone to deliver information to Kumogakure and Sunagakure, and to discuss cooperation at the same time.

As for Kirigakure, it is now in seclusion.

Silent all night.

After breakfast the next day, Hoshita Hide followed Sarutobi Hiruzen and others out of the tree world.

As Konoha moved, the Iwagakure on the opposite side also moved.

Ohnoki appeared in the air with his guards.

"Tsuchikage-sama, is that... could that be the Third Hokage?"

The Tsuchikage guards were shocked to see Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was wearing a Hokage robe and a Hokage hat over his armor, which was too obvious.

"It is indeed the Hokage. I didn't expect him to be here."

Ohnoki snorted softly and then fell down.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen led Danzo and Mitomon En forward.

Finally, the two sides stopped ten meters apart.

"Hokage!"

"Tsuchikage!"

Ōnoki and Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke one after another.

Then Ohnoki aggressively said, "Hokage, are you Konoha going to start an all-out war?"

"After taking the Four-Tails, you're trying to take the Five-Tails!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly: "This is just a means of warfare."

Ohnoki scowled, "Back then, Lord Hashirama distributed the tailed beasts in order to balance the power of the ninja world. Now, Konoha is breaking the situation established by Lord Hashirama."

"Does Konoha want to gather all the tailed beasts again?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly after hearing this, and then said, "Konoha has no such intention."

"However, since the Four-Tails Jinchuriki has appeared on the battlefield, it is natural for any situation to occur."

It can't be that just because he's a Jinchūriki, he can't die, right?

And the spoils obtained on the battlefield cannot be returned just because they are tailed beasts, right?

Of course, Ohnoki knew that his request was unreasonable, but there is no such thing as reasonable or unreasonable in the world, only the size of the fist.

His fist isn't big enough right now, but...

"Hokage, Konoha must hand over the Four-Tails, otherwise neither Sand Village nor Kumogakure will accept it."

Ohnoki said firmly: "I remember that the Eight-Tails in Kumogakure went berserk and caused the death of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. It should have been done by the Wood Release User, right?"

The corner of Sarutobi Hiruzen's eye twitched.

The thing he was most worried about finally happened.

Iwagakure joins forces with Kumogakure and Sandagakure, and the pressure is increasing!

but.

Handing over the four tails means that Xingxia Xiu must die.

"Tsuchikage, Konoha will not abandon any of our companions!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly became tough: "If Iwagakure wants to take back the Four-Tails, they must either wait for the Four-Tails Jinchuriki's life to run out, or... defeat Konoha!"

"However, Konoha will not hand over its companions unless they fight to the last man."
