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

Chapter 129 Nagato! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

Cloud ninja battlefield.

Danzo took the information from Aburame Ryoma, quickly glanced through it, and fell into deep thought.

This was sent by Xingxiaxiu.

The most important of these is the establishment of an orphanage and a ninja school in Rain Village.

By promoting these two things, the Root can select people to train, strengthen the Root's power, and at the same time infiltrate and control the Rain Village, no matter how the situation in the Rain Village and the Rain Country changes in the future.

This is indeed a good suggestion.

Moreover, Danzo believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen would not refuse such means.

"Go back and tell Jia that I agree to this matter, and let him do his best."

Danzo said to Aburame Ryoma.

Aburame Ryoma nodded quickly, "Understood!"

Danzo waved his hand, Aburame Ryoma bowed, and then disappeared.

"After this war, Hiruzen's prestige will surely increase greatly, but if he gives up the Rain Country that he has already obtained..."

Danzo thought to himself, "But even so, it's not enough."

"A's strength..."

Evil thoughts emerged, and Danzo felt a little anxious for a moment.

"Lord Danzo!"

Suddenly, a Root ninja appeared: "Danzo-sama, the Third Raikage has appeared on the battlefield!"

Danzo's mind was shaken, and the anxiety in his heart disappeared instantly: "Let's go!"

After a while.

Danzo arrived at the front line and saw Akimichi Tofu leading a team to fight against the Third Raikage.

At this time, Akimichi Norifuge had used the multiplication technique to turn himself into a giant. The Nara clan in the team used the shadow secret technique to try to control the Third Raikage, and the Yamanaka clan was responsible for perception, and there was also a senior ninja who was good at earth escape to assist.

The four of them joined forces, but they couldn't touch the edge of the Third Raikage's clothes.

The Third Raikage was too fast, and his attacks were so astonishing that even the Jonin's earth escape technique couldn't delay him at all, and his shadow secret technique was also difficult to capture.

Although Qiu Daoqufeng's attack was not weak, he was unable to hit the target with one strike.

Danzo watched with a frown.

Suddenly, the Third Raikage broke through the defense line and went straight for Nara clan's senior ninja Nara Fangyi.

"It's too fast, it's too late..."

Nara Fangyi broke out in a cold sweat, but it was too late to escape.

Just as the Third Raikage was about to kill Nara Fangyi single-handedly, with a bang, a huge ball of vacuum air hit the Third Raikage and blew him away.

"The Third Raikage-sama!"

The Cloud Ninjas who were watching the battle came forward.

"fine!"

The Third Raikage steadied himself, then looked at the man who had suddenly attacked him without any moral integrity: "Danzo!"

Danzo leaped over to the side of Akimichi Tofu, whose figure had shrunk.

"Be careful, this guy is very fast, much faster than before, and his attacks are also very strong."

Qiu Dao Qufeng reminded in a low voice, and there was a charred wound on his right hand.

But it was left over from a previous confrontation with the Third Raikage.

Even with the multiplication technique, he was still injured.

"I know."

Danzo's eyes never left the Third Raikage.

This guy took his wind escape attack head-on, but his defense was not broken.

Even he had made a hasty attack.

But this is enough to show that the Third Raikage is not only fast and has fierce attacks, but also has amazing defense.

You know, Wind Style can restrain Lightning Style.

"This guy's Wind Escape is much more powerful than before."

The Third Raikage said secretly.

This was not the first time he had fought against Danzo and Akimichi Tofu.

They had fought each other during the First Ninja World War.

……

"Raikage, I didn't expect you to come."

Tuanzang opened his mouth.

The Third Raikage snorted coldly: "You Konoha have gone too far."

"Hand over that Wood Release user!"

Danzo said calmly, "The Raikage is too whimsical. Konoha has no habit of betraying its companions."

"Besides, it's you Kumo-nin who are doing the wrong thing."

"We have shown great restraint in not pursuing the matter further."

The Third Raikage was very unhappy: "Do you still want to take away the Eight-Tails?"

Danzo was extremely firm: "The Eight-Tails was originally distributed by the First Hokage. Even if we take it back, it is only natural!"

The Third Raikage's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he felt a little nauseous.

It wasn't for nothing that we got the Eight-Tailed Fox and the Two-Tailed Fox, Kumogakure.

But the Third Raikage cannot be mentioned. After all, it is not that little money that Konoha cannot come up with.

If they are caught by Konoha, it will be a reasonable excuse for Konoha to directly demand the tailed beasts or even take action against them.

The Third Raikage simply didn't bother to talk, staring at Danzo and saying, "You are no match for me, let Sarutobi Hiruzen fight me!"

After saying that, he led his men to retreat temporarily.

Danzo frowned as he watched the Kumo Ninja leave.

Qiu Dao Qu Feng said: "It is indeed difficult for us to stop him."

Danzo said, "I will inform Hiruzen about this."

That night, Sarutobi Hiruzen received the information sent back by Danzo.

After pondering for a moment in his office, he gave the order to the Anbu.

Heading north tomorrow!

The Third Raikage invited him to a battle, and whether for strategic reasons or for the morale of the front lines, he had to go.

After giving the order and thinking about the entire battle situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself: "In this case, the breakthrough lies with the Sand Shinobi. Or..."

"Or the Rain Country."

If we give up some of the interests of the Rain Country, we can negotiate with the Iwagakure and end the war with them first.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very clear that this decision could only be made when absolutely necessary, and only then could some interests be sacrificed.

It's not time yet.

...In the wooden house in the Land of Rain, listening to Ryoma Aburame's report, Hoshita Hide couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Sarutobi Hiruzen went to the Cloud Shinobi battlefield, but it was a pity that he couldn't see the battle between the strongest Hokage and the Third Raikage.

But I guess it's the same, with no winner.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is not as fast as the Third Raikage, his attack is not as good as the Third Raikage, and his defense is not as good as the Third Raikage.

But he is very good at various ninjutsu.

Ninja body illusion, wind escape, fire escape, water escape, earth escape, lightning escape, there is no weakness in any of them.

There is also an ape demon that can transform into a golden hoop stick.

Can attack, defend, control, and has comprehensive skills.

"However, for me, someone like Sarutobi Hiruzen is easier to deal with."

Xingxiaxiu pondered secretly.

If he wants to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen, he will probably need to rely on the Wood Shunshin.

Neither the wooden dragon technique nor the wooden man technique might be very effective.

After all, the old Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to use his golden cudgel to push the fully-formed Nine-Tails out of Konoha Village.

The Third Hokage, who does not seem to have any particularly outstanding abilities, must never be underestimated.

"However, the Third Hokage has gone to the battlefield, so Konoha is now at its most empty."

"The Kumo Ninja deliberately sent the Third Hokage to the battlefield. This is to plot against Kushina..."

There was a cold light flashing in Xingxiaxiu's eyes.

Aburame Ryoma sensed the murderous intent emanating from Hoshita Hide and immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "The pressure from the captain is getting more and more terrifying. Just the murderous intent alone is a little too much for me to bear."

The momentum is illusory, yet it exists in reality.

Hoshita Hide suppressed his murderous intent and said to Aburame Ryoma, "Go back and report to Lord Danzo. With me here, nothing will happen to the Land of Rain."

"Even if the Iwagakure reinforce their troops, it will be impossible to break through the current defense line."

Aburame Ryoma nodded, "Understood."

"in addition."

Xingxia Xiu instructed: "Go back to the village, where I often practice outside the Death Forest. There is a wooden house there. Awaken my clone."

Aburame Ryoma was stunned when he heard this, but then nodded.

After Aburame Ryoma left, Hoshita Hide became a little excited.

If the Cloud Ninja attacked Kushina.

So should he try to snatch the Eight-Tails or the Two-Tails from the Cloud Ninja?

"It's indeed a good opportunity, but it's too eye-catching."

Xingxia Xiu was still very afraid of Uchiha Madara: "If Uchiha Madara comes to kill me, I can only run away."

"Only with the power of the Nine-Tails can I be sure to face Uchiha Madara's clone."

"However, if it doesn't work this time, there's still the Third Ninja World War, so there's no rush."

……

Rain Ninja Village.

A newly built orphanage.

Xingxia Xiu's Wood Release clone looked at the thin and short Nagato and tried hard to suppress the urge to gouge out his eyes.

To be honest, Nagato was brought to the orphanage against his will.

Of course, Xingxiaxiu wasn't looking for it on purpose.

It's policy.

Once the orphanage was established, it forcibly took in orphans from the Land of Rain.

Before it was Yahiko and Konan, and now it’s Nagato.

They were all discovered by the Rain Ninja while wandering and then brought back to the orphanage in the Rain Ninja Village.

At this moment, Nagato lowered his head, his long red hair covering his eyes, and also covering his timidity, fear and hidden hatred towards the Konoha ninjas.

He will never forget the scene of his parents' death.

The two murderers had the same ninja forehead protectors as Konoha.

"Nagato, right? I heard you don't want to stay in the orphanage?"

Xingxia Xiu asked: "Can you tell me why?"

Nagato lowered his head and remained silent.

Xingxia Xiu said: "Because you don't like us Konoha ninjas?"

"Did your parents also die in the war?"

"Even, your parents died at the hands of Konoha ninjas?"

After hearing this, Nagato suddenly looked up, his eyes wide open, full of fear.

Xing Xiaxiu said calmly, "No matter what the reason is, staying alive is the most important thing."

"Only here can you survive well."

"A ninja school will be established in a few days. You can go in and learn ninjutsu."

"In times of war like this, only by gaining strength can one protect oneself, or perhaps seek revenge."

Nagato was a little at a loss for what to do after hearing this.

Xingxia Xiu patted Nagato's shoulder and left.

Soon, Nagato was taken back to the dormitory by the female nurse of the orphanage in a daze.

There are already two people here.

"Yahiko, Konan, this is the new Nagato. He'll be with you from today on. Please take good care of him."

The female nurse turned and left after she finished speaking.

She has other work to do.

After the nurse left, Yahiko and Konan stepped forward.

"Hello, my name is Yahiko."

Yahiko stretched out his hand, holding a piece of bread.

Nagato swallowed when he saw this.

He had actually eaten, but he wasn't too full.

Xiaonan laughed softly beside him and said, "Eat, but don't eat too much or too fast. You just got here, so you must have been hungry for a long time. Have you had some porridge?"

"Those ninja masters said that if you've been hungry for too long, you can't eat too much all at once, otherwise you'll get a stomachache."

Nagato looked up, took the bread and said, "Thank you, thank you, Yahiko, Konan."

Yahiko patted Nagato's shoulder and said with a smile: "From today on, we are companions."

"I just discussed with Xiaonan that we're going to take the ninja school exam in a few days. Why don't you come with us? We can take care of each other and avoid being bullied by others."

After taking a bite of bread, Yahiko immediately thought of what Xingxia Xiu had just said, and nodded: "Okay, let's go together."
