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

When the main force of the Iwagakure arrived, Hide Hoshita and his men only put up a brief resistance. After circling around the Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Birds for a while, they decisively retreated, left the Daimyo's Mansion, and then headed eastward while being pursued by the Iwagakure, as if they were going to escape back to the Land of Rain.

However, in the evening of that day, when they were about to be surrounded from front and back, Xingxia Xiu led his men to suddenly counterattack, and with the terrifying endurance of seven mouths, they tore through the formation of the Iwagakure, killed their way through, and headed towards the Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Birds.

The Iwagakure turned around and gave chase.

Iwagakure chases, Hoshita Hide escapes.

After arriving at Daimyo Prefecture in the Land of Birds, Xingxia Xiu led his men south again.

At dawn the next day, they rushed straight into the Kingdom of Wind.

At this moment, the first batch of Iwagakure troops have already deployed in the territory of the Land of Rain.

In Rain Village, Hanzo was slightly stunned after receiving the news.

He attacked the River Country, but he never expected that the first to take action was not Konoha or the Sand Village, but the Iwagakure Village.

Hanzo remained calm and immediately began gathering intelligence to find out the Iwagakure's intentions.

So, when Xingxia Xiu entered the Kingdom of Wind, Hanzo finally learned about it from a captured Iwagakure.

It turned out that he had sent people to invade the Kingdom of Birds and even took control of the Daimyo Prefecture of the Kingdom of Birds for a time.

Hanzo's expression immediately darkened when he heard the information.

Got cheated!
There was no doubt that the person was not sent by him.

So who could it be?
Sand Village, or Konoha!

As soon as the thought came to his mind, a gloomy face immediately appeared in Hanzo's mind.

Danzo!

"asshole!"

Hanzo gritted his teeth.

This time, his plan was completely disrupted.

He was originally most wary of Konoha and the Sand Village, especially the former.

I never expected that the Iwagakure would stab me in the back.

If we now transfer troops back from the direction close to the Land of Fire to fight against the Iwagakure, will Konoha take the opportunity to take action?

Hanzo is sure, he will!

Perhaps this incident was Konoha's doing, and this was the purpose.

With his eyes lowered, Hanzo secretly weighed the pros and cons.

Those guarding Konoha cannot move.

Will the people from the Diaohe Country come back?
But Hanzo was unwilling to give up.

At this moment, he only needs a little time to take over the River Kingdom.

If we take over the River Country, we can rely on these two countries to fight against the Iwagakure, Konoha, and Sand Ninja.

Yes.

Before taking action, Hanzo thought that once he took action, it would inevitably attract the intervention of these three major ninja villages.

Therefore, he had already prepared himself mentally.

But obviously plans cannot keep up with changes.

Danzo's move put Hanzo in a dilemma.

He lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time. When he opened his eyes, Hanzo made a decision: "Heiyu, send the order, let Yujian retreat to the village!"

"As long as the Rock Ninja don't attack the village, don't worry about them."

"Also, you take a team to the River Country to help Naoyo. Make sure you completely conquer the River Country this year."

Although Hei Yu was confused, he nodded immediately: "I understand!"

……

"Hanzo actually withdrew his power?"

At noon on the border of the Wind Country, Xingxia Xiu was a little surprised after receiving the information.

This is not right!
Hanzo is now in his prime, at the peak of his combat power, and the title of demigod is not undeserved.

He actually gave in to the Iwagakure and withdrew the forces that were defending against Konoha.

That's a bit unusual.

This is not the time for World War III.

Hoshita Hide remembered that Hanzo had once fought against three people alone, and had also fought against the samurai group of the Iron Country. Admiral Mifune almost died at the hands of Hanzo.

"What will the Iwagakure do if they withdraw their strength at this time?"

Thinking under the stars.

If he were Ōnoki, would he be able to resist the temptation to seize the opportunity to conquer the Land of Rain?

If you can't help it.

Even without mentioning the Sand Village, they will most likely prioritize the River Country first.

But Konoha...

Konoha will never let the Iwagakure succeed.

If the Iwagakure takes over the Rain Country, the Grass Country will be in danger.

By then the Fire Nation would have lost all its barriers.

If war breaks out in the future, the battlefield will burn directly within the territory of the Fire Nation.

This is something that neither the Fire Country Daimyo nor Sarutobi Hiruzen would accept.

Xingxia Xiu analyzed step by step and gradually understood Hanzo's plan.

"On the one hand, we want to take over the River Country first and build a base."

"Secondly, avoid the Iwagakure's attack and lure Konoha into the fight. Let Konoha and Iwagakure fight first."

Xingxia Xiu thought to himself: "The first price Hanzo has to pay is the destruction of the Rain Country, but the Rain Country is obviously not as valuable as the River Country."

"Even if we trade the Rain Kingdom for the River Kingdom, it might not be a bad deal."

"What's more, he probably has no intention of giving up the Rain Country. He has been operating it for so many years and has an amazing foundation."

"Let Konoha and the Iwagakure consume their strength first. Once we have stabilized the River Country and stopped the Sand Village, we can come back and fight back..."

Good guy.

Hanzo is really not an easy person to deal with.

Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but look towards the direction of Iwagakure Village.

Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage Building, conference room.

Many high-ranking officials of Iwagakure were present.

The information from the Rain Country has been sent back.

Hanzo retracted his strength, and at the same time he realized that the group of Rain Ninjas from the Land of Birds were most likely imposters from other villages.

Ohnoki's face looked very unhappy.

He was played!

Well, now that the Bird Country has stabilized, should we withdraw our troops?
At this time, many senior executives were also discussing it.

"This should be a great opportunity. If we take over the Rain Country, we can take over the River Country. Then the village will become the largest ninja village in the ninja world."

"Konoha and Sunagakure will definitely not sit idly by. If this continues, we will definitely have to go to war with them."

"The Bird Country incident must have been done by Konoha. Should we just let it go? We lost several Jonin for this!"

"The Sand Village probably won't confront us first. Their focus should be on the River Country." "Exactly. Right now, we have an absolute advantage in the Rain Country. Giving up like this would be too weak."

……

Ninety percent of the Iwagakure's top leaders agreed to continue fighting.

Although the Bird Country incident was not done by the Rain Ninja, it must be done by the Rain Ninja now.

In this way, it would be reasonable for them to enter the Rain Kingdom.

How can we give up such a good excuse to start a war?

Not to mention giving up the advantages you already have.

Ohnoki glanced at the many senior executives on his left and right, coughed twice, and everyone fell silent and looked over.

"The deaths of our fellow villagers must not be in vain."

"The village needs more tasks, too."

"The plan to attack Rain Village remains unchanged. In addition..."

Ohnoki said viciously: "Find the group of people who caused the Bird Country incident, no matter if they are Rain Ninja, Konoha Ninja, or Sand Ninja."

……

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Looking at the information sent back from the Land of Rain, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

There are not only Root ninjas in the Land of Rain, but also Anbu ninjas who are collecting intelligence and keeping an eye on the every move of the Rain and Rock ninjas.

But the development of things was obviously beyond expectations.

They originally wanted the Rock Ninja to fight the Rain Ninja first, but now the Rain Ninja has backed down.

Danzo said in a deep voice: "Huruzen, that guy Ohnoki will never give up this opportunity."

"We can't let the Iwagakure take over the Rain Country."

"That guy Hanzo can abandon the Rain Country, but we can't."

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the information and nodded: "I know."

"Where are Xingxiaxiu and the others now?"

Danzo immediately said, "At the border of the Wind Country."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then said: "Then let them stay behind the Iwagakure and cooperate with the front battlefield!"

Danzo's eyes lit up with joy as he nodded and said, "This will indeed maximize their usefulness."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up: "Then let's fight!"

"Danzo, you will lead the Root into the Land of Rain to obtain intelligence. The advance team will depart within three days."

Danzo nodded and then disappeared.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to give orders after Danzo left.

Orders were conveyed one after another by the Anbu ninjas, including recalling Jiraiya who was traveling outside.

……

It’s night, July 36, Konoha 12.

The border of the Bird Country.

A Root ninja quickly walked into the cabin: "Captain, this is the order from Lord Danzo."

Xing Xiaxiu, who was sitting cross-legged, reached out to take it, opened the note, quickly read it, and couldn't help but smile.

The restraints on my body were finally released!
He was being hunted by the Rock Ninja these past two days, and he was filled with rage.

Seeing Xingxia Xiu's smile, the Root Ninja couldn't help but ask: "Captain, did Lord Danzo order us to retreat?"

Xingxiaxiu shook his head: "No!"

"The village is planning to go to war, and the troops will soon enter the Land of Rain. Our mission is to cooperate with the front battlefield and harass the rear of the Rock Ninja."

"From now on, we are no longer ninjas from other ninja villages, but the elites of the Root of Konoha."

"Crow, go tell them this news and get a good rest tonight. The battle to come will be more intense than before."

The Root Ninja codenamed Crow was startled and nodded immediately: "Understood!"

The crow left, and Xingxiaxiu looked at his status bar.

It will be refreshed soon.

But to be honest, he was still a little reluctant to give up this state of "chatterboxing".

Too much firepower.

Without this, Xingxiaxiu would feel a bit lacking in power.

"I wonder if in the future we'll be able to see in all directions, or even have three heads and six arms."

Xingxia Xiu's thoughts were a little scattered.

It was soon early morning.

The status bar refreshes on time.

Current status: ruthless and unscrupulous
Note: Literally, your heart is a wolf's heart, with stronger power, and your lungs are dog's lungs, with greater lung capacity.

Refresh countdown: 167:59:55
Looking at the new status, Xingxiaxiu's face instantly turned dark.

No swearing!
Although I want to be the leader of the Root, that would also allow Danzo to be the Hokage!

Although I want to be the man of Hokage.

But Danzo can't continue to be the Kage forever, he must step down and let someone else take over, right?

How can this be so cruel?
defamation!

Absolutely defamatory!

Xing Xiaxiu almost jumped up and down.

As for the slight improvement brought by his ruthlessness, he completely ignored it.

Anyway, it is impossible for him to really transplant a wolf heart and a dog lung and solidify this condition.

He withdrew his gaze, and Xingxiaxiu's emotions suddenly returned to calm, then he looked at himself.

Wood Release Secret Technique, Double Magatama Sharingan, S-level Hypnosis Control Illusion Technique, S-level Wind Release, Swordsmanship Expert, and Powerful Self-Healing Ability.

These combined are enough to support elite jonin and even quasi-kage level.

Xingxia Xiu recalled that he had previously controlled the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki to perform the Wood Dragon Technique.

Wood Release needs to be developed more.

I dare not imagine thousands of hands now.

But with the help of immortal arts, the art of making wooden men can be mastered.

"If you master the art of wooden figures, you will definitely reach the level of Kage."

Xingxiaxiu pondered secretly.

Of course, his so-called Kage level is comparable to the Kage of the five major ninja villages.

but.

Xingxia Xiu can also see the current potential of Wood Release.

Without a cheat like the Nine-Tailed Fox, it would be impossible to reach the level of Hashirama Senju.

"By the way, can my current body withstand the Rinnegan?"
