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

Chapter 57 Burning Ambition! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

The fighting in the valley did not last long.

There are only two teams of Rock Ninja here, and the strongest one is a Jonin.

As for Xingxiaxiu and the others, there are three Jonin, and Danzo can be said to be at the level of Kage.

Not to mention the number of ninjas far exceeding that of the Iwagakure.

After cleaning up the battlefield and taking the bodies of the Iwagakure ninjas with them, Hide Hoshita and his group returned to the Rain Village. They also saw the bodies of other Iwagakure ninjas, more than ten in total.

The results are not small.

But in terms of the number of people, there are still not as many as the Iwagakure killed by Xingxia Xiu twice.

The others stayed outside, while Hoshita Hide and Shimura Daichi followed Danzo and met Hanzo again in the conference room.

After a friendly exchange, Danzo took his leave without further ado.

After leaving the Rain Village, Xingxia Xiu suddenly looked back at the misty village, and seemed to hear the footsteps of war in his ears.

He knows the future.

Until the outbreak of the Second Shinobi World War.

But for the first time, I truly felt that the war was approaching.

"A, what's wrong?"

Daichi Shimura saw what Shuu was doing and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Xingxia Xiu turned around and said, "I see the war coming towards us, I hear its footsteps."

Daichi Shimura was stunned when he heard this.

Danzo, who was walking in front, said: "Hanzo's ambition has been unleashed after this incident. Rain Village may become the starting point for the outbreak of the Ninja World War."

He has decided to increase surveillance of the activities of the Rain Village.

Just as Xingxiaxiu said.

Konoha can have demigods, but a new ninja god is absolutely not allowed!
……

The border of the Land of Earth.

The corpses were brought here by the Rain Ninjas and were soon discovered by the border defense forces of the Iwagakure Village.

"hateful!"

"asshole!"

"Captain, those guys haven't gone far yet, let's take action!"

"Yes, we must take revenge!"

Looking at the corpses of their companions on the ground, many Rock Ninjas were extremely angry.

The leading Iwagakure suppressed his anger and shouted calmly, "Shut up! We must get the order from the Third Tsuchikage to start a war!"

"This matter must be reported to the Third Tsuchikage for a decision."

"As for revenge, we have to trust the Third Tsuchikage!"

After hearing this, many Rock Ninjas stopped making noise, but the anger and hatred in their hearts did not diminish at all. Instead, they continued to accumulate due to repression.

……

It was already night when the information arrived at Iwagakure.

Ohnoki looked at the information sent to him and couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.

Hanzo's behavior is too arrogant!

However, when Ohnoki looked at the list of corpses, he noticed something was wrong.

"This matter is also related to Konoha..."

Ohnoki snorted and began giving orders.

That night, the Iwagakure was extremely busy.

But information about the Rain Country was also gradually delivered to Onoki's desk.

Although the power of the Rock Ninja in the Rain Country suffered a huge blow, it has not been uprooted. Some of them are still hidden very deeply, and there is no shortage of spies hidden in the Rain Village.

When the day breaks.

Ohnoki is completely certain that Konoha and Amegakure will join forces.

This made him frown.

There are undercurrents in the ninja world, and everyone is expanding their military.

At this time, Konoha suddenly joined forces with the Rain Village to target them, the Iwagakure. No matter what the reason was, it was unusual.

Even...are Konoha and Amegakure really going to form a military alliance?

The land of rivers, the land of grass, the land of birds...

Ohnoki looked at the map of the Ninja World.

Konoha was aware of Hanzo's ambition, and it was natural that Ohnoki would not have no reaction at all.

After staring at the map for a long time, Ohnoki finally gave the order.

Not revenge.

Instead, it is an intelligence mission targeting the Rain Village and the Land of Rain.

Increase the intensity of latent infiltration.

Increase intelligence efforts.

There was no rush for revenge. Iwagakure couldn't start the fight first.

……

It was already the second day when Xingxia Xiu returned to Konoha.

After a good sleep, he applied to enter the Root's data room and copy the illusions stored in the Root.

After trying it, Xingxiaxiu discovered.

The hypnotic talent brought by [Hypnotist] is only effective when practicing hypnotic ninjutsu.

For example, hypnotic illusions like the Nirvana Monastery Technique, even if they were A-level, could be learned in a very short time.

However, non-hypnotic ninjutsu, even B-rank ones, are very slow to practice.

For example, the art of darkness.

However, this still cannot reduce Xingxia Xiu's enthusiasm for practicing illusion.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The status refresh is getting closer.

Xingxia Xiu put down the illusion scroll in his hand, thought for a while and made a decision.

Self-created hypnotic illusion!

There are many illusion-type ninjutsu included in the Root, but there are very few hypnotic ninjutsu.

He has gained a lot from his research in the past few days, but he feels it is difficult to achieve the state of "Hypnotist".

Perhaps it would be possible to create a hypnotic illusion similar to Nirvana Monastery.

After making the decision, Xingxia Xiu immediately immersed himself in research.

at the same time.

Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered together.

"Although the Rock Ninja are active in the Rain Country quite frequently, they have no intention of starting a war."

Danzo reports to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He has been paying close attention to the situation in the Rain Country these days.

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened with a hint of regret: "Oonoki is like a stone, he is indeed not an impulsive person."

If the Iwagakure directly declares war on the Rain Village, it will be extremely beneficial to Konoha.

Danzo said, "Indeed."

"However, judging from the actions of the Iwagakure, it's only a matter of time before they attack the Rain Village."

"If Hanzo tries to expand his power, Ōnoki will definitely take action."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then asked, "What about the Sand Village?"

Danzo said, "There wasn't much reaction from the Sand Village."

"However, if Hanzo attacks the River Country, the Sand Village will definitely not watch."

"When the three major ninja villages take action, even if Hanzo is a demigod, he will not be able to resist. We must also crush his ambition."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "I'll leave the Rain Village to you."

"Lord Mito can't hold out much longer. Make sure Hoshita Hide is ready!"

Danzo's heart skipped a beat and he nodded immediately: "Understood!"

After leaving the Hokage Building and returning to the Root base, Danzo immediately ordered a summons for Hoshita Hide.

"Lord Danzo!"

Xing Xiaxiu, who left his clone to practice, hurried over.

Danzo stood with his hands behind his back, his back to Hoshita Hide: "A, within the next three months, you must master the wood escape technique that can restrain the tailed beasts."

Xingxia Xiu was secretly startled and said, "Mito-sama, she..."

Danzo nodded slightly, "The Kyuubi has reached the point where it must be moved."

"Although the village has a mature sealing technique, the Nine-Tails is the most powerful among the nine tailed beasts. To be on the safe side, it would be best to have a Wood Release technique."

"Also, the new Jinchūriki is still too young to perfectly suppress the Nine-Tails' power. This also requires the suppression of the Wood Release Secret Technique."

Xing Xiaxiu immediately said in a low voice after hearing this: "I understand. I will not let you down!"

Danzo nodded, then turned around, staring at Hoshita Hide, and said, "The Jinchūriki is an important weapon for the village, but it is also a weapon that can easily get out of control."

"But with the Wood Release Secret Technique, it becomes a powerful weapon that can be controlled."

"I need you to control this weapon!"

Xing Xiaxiu raised his head slightly: "I understand!"

"I will definitely master this weapon for you, sir!"

Danzo nodded: "Go!"

Xing Xiaxiu bowed and then disappeared.

It was not until this moment that a hint of excitement appeared on Danzo's expressionless face.

With Wood Release and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in his hands, who can replace Hiruzen and become the fourth generation?

No one is qualified!

At this moment, Danzo's deep-seated ambition began to burn.
