I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Yes, the fastest ninja in the world is Naraku.

The title of the fastest ninja in the world was actually held by someone long ago, namely Tobirama Senju, the developer of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

As for now.

I wonder if it was to praise Naraku to the point of ruin.

Like the Silver Flash, Naraku's title of the fastest ninja in the world also comes from Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).

Regardless of Iwagakure's motives, the fact that Naraku replaced Tobirama Senju as the new fastest ninja in the world has been widely accepted.

Like Minato Namikaze.

Even though he displayed amazing speed with the Flying Thunder God Technique in the war against Kumogakure, he only earned the title of the second fastest ninja in the world.

This was the result of Konoha's secret efforts to boost morale; otherwise, Minato Namikaze might not have even been able to earn the title of the second fastest.

After all, the current Third Raikage is not dead.

The sky gradually darkened.

As evening approached, Naraku, having thoroughly explored both inside and outside Konoha, casually found an inn to stay at.

Of course, this is just the surface.

Secretly, after entering the inn's room, Naraku immediately created a clone of his true energy to replace himself, and then left Konoha using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Chapter 130 The Arrogance That Turned from Prosperity to Decline

"Kagero Village? I have a memory of that ninja village. I didn't expect that after being defeated by Konoha, they would still leave behind such an amazing legacy. It seems that luck is on our side."

Inside the Sunagakure camp, Naraku, who had left Konoha, met with Pakura again.

When Naraku recounted his investigation of Konoha, Pakura was initially surprised, but then filled with emotion.

"This is actually the result of arrogance. With Konoha's resources, the explosive tags set up by Kagerou Village should have been discovered long ago." Naraku understood Pakura's feelings very well, because he felt the same way.

During the Second Shinobi World War, there was a ninja village called Kagerou Village deep in the mountains of the Land of Mountains.

At its peak, this ninja village was even more powerful than the current Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village).

However, it was perhaps because of its strength that Kagero Village clashed with Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War.

During the battle, Kagerou Village was once able to contend with Konoha Village.

However, compared to Konoha, Kagerou Village's foundation was clearly much weaker. So, after the main force was sent to the battlefield, the rear was attacked by Konoha, resulting in a significant reduction in its strength.

However, the defeated Yangyan Village was obviously very unwilling to accept defeat, so after signing a ceasefire agreement with Konoha, they secretly sent a trap ninja named Gen'ou to infiltrate Konoha and set up a large number of explosive tags in various parts of Konoha.

According to Naraku's memories from his previous life, these explosive tags were not even discovered until after the original storyline began.

In other words, at this time, many buildings in Konoha were secretly equipped with explosive tags.

Once detonated, not to mention the casualties to Konoha personnel, the buildings alone would be severely damaged.

In fact, Naraku had already detected these explosive tags with his divine sense before he even left Konoha.

This time, they conducted a more detailed investigation, preparing it as part of the Konoha Crush plan.

As Naraku said, if Konoha had been more cautious, the explosive tags that Gen'ou had set up should have been discovered long ago.

Even if Xuanweng's arrangement was very clever, hiding the explosive tags in the building's mezzanine, something like the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan could still be discovered with careful investigation.

The reason why Konoha had never discovered such a hidden danger within its own village was entirely due to its arrogance.

Arrogance is often a sign of decline after prosperity.

"Are your personnel ready?" Naraku asked Yekura.

Yecang nodded and said, "It's almost done. Now we only need to deal with Bunfuku. The power of the One-Tail is crucial, but the other side may not act according to our plan. They might even turn against us after being freed."

"Leave the matter of Yiwei to me. After Bunfuku arrives, you can arrange for me to meet with him."

"Okay, then it's up to you!"

Naraku and Yekura discussed the detailed plans for the collapse of Konoha.

In addition to the arrangement for the One-Tailed Beast, Naraku also pointed out to Yekura the personnel who needed to be paid special attention to in the plan.

For example, Namikaze Minato.

For example, Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

For example, Tsunade, etc.

Time passed quietly.

a few days later.

Yekura set off directly from the Sunagakure camp.

In order not to arouse Konoha's suspicion, Pakura did not bring many people with her, only three small guard squads.

Of course, Pakura was the Kazekage of Sunagakure after all, and although her guards consisted of only three squads, each of them was a Jonin.

One of them was even disguised as Bunpuku, the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast.

Since it was wartime, Yekura had already sent people to contact Konoha before setting off.

Konoha had made arrangements for Pakura's arrival, not only allowing her unimpeded entry into the Land of Fire, but also providing her with escorts from numerous Konoha ninjas along the way.

Well, this escort can actually be understood as surveillance.

"Kage-sama, welcome to Konoha. I am Kento Shimura, the head of the Shimura clan."

Having arrived safely in Konoha, Yekura entered the guesthouse under the arrangement of Konoha personnel, where people had already been waiting for a long time.

"Where's your Hokage?"

Looking at the smiling man opposite him, Ye Cang didn't wait for him to continue, but interrupted him directly, frowning as he asked.

The man named Kento Shimura's smile froze for a moment, then he slowly said, "The Hokage is very busy, so I will be in charge of receiving the Kazekage."

"Busy? So your Hokage is so busy that he doesn't even have basic manners anymore?" Ye Cang sneered.

As both are Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Pakura, as the Kazekage, should have been personally received by Danzo, the Hokage, upon her arrival in Konoha.

However, Danzo did not show himself at all, and only sent his own clansmen.

Such a style and attitude clearly reveals a condescending attitude towards Yekura.

If it weren't for the hidden plan to destroy Konoha, given Danzo's contemptuous attitude, it would have been perfectly reasonable for Pakura to turn around and leave.

"Lord Kazekage, please watch your words." As the head of the Shimura clan, Kento Shimura was naturally a confidant of Danzo Shimura.

Similarly, with Danzo as his backer, this person was extremely arrogant.

Instead of feeling guilty in the face of Yekura's rebuttal, he showed dissatisfaction and began to criticize her.

Ye Cang gave the other person a deep look, too lazy to waste words with him, and turned to go to his room.

"Humph!"

Seeing Yekura's attitude, Shimura Kento snorted coldly, ignored him, and turned to leave.

"What on earth is Danzo up to?"

As everyone left, Tsunade slowly emerged from a secluded corner. She glanced in the direction where Kento Shimura had gone and rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

She was extremely wary of the upcoming Chunin Exams, and upon learning of Yekura's arrival, she came specifically to check on the situation.

To her surprise, Yecang's side hadn't discovered any problems yet, but instead, it was her side that encountered problems first.

Tsunade truly hadn't expected Danzo to act so poorly.

Even if it's just for show, since Pakura is the Kazekage, Danzo should at least show his face.

Danzo didn't even show his face, and the people he sent were rude.

With such a terrible attitude, even if Sunagakure originally didn't want to cause trouble, it would probably start to want to cause trouble.

"Fine, let Danzo run rampant for a while longer!" Tsunade sighed inwardly and turned to leave the guesthouse.

If she could, she would naturally want to remind Danzo, but unfortunately, she knew very well that even if she did, she would only be ostracized by Danzo.

Who knows, the other person might just throw that phrase they always say at her again: "I am the Hokage."

Rather than seek out unhappiness, she'd rather stay out of sight of it.

"What exactly is going on in Konoha? I'm here representing the village. Even if the Hokage doesn't show up, at least someone of sufficient caliber should be sent to receive me."

"Kento Shimura? Never heard of him. Where is your Hokage? Why didn't he come? Do you look down on our Hidden Cloud Village?"

"They're too arrogant, Lord Yagura. Konoha is far too arrogant. They don't even respect our village."

As it turns out, Danzo's arrogance wasn't just directed at Yoruichiro, but at everyone.

After Yekura arrived in Konoha, representatives from Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure also arrived in succession over the next few days.

The representatives of these three parties were not the Kage of their respective ninja villages.

The representative of Iwagakure Village is yellow earth.

The representative of Kumogakure is the AB group.

The representative of Kirigakure is Yagura Karatachi.
