Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 234 The Third Mizukage: If Kou can go, so can I!

Hidden Mist Village.

Dusk.

The Third Mizukage is currently handling official business, and there are quite a few incidents in the village caused by yokai.

"Fear" originates from the darkness and desires in the human heart. Pain, anger, jealousy, fear, resentment, hatred... these negative emotions can all provide power for monsters.

However, it's not a good thing if a monster absorbs too much "fear". Even if the fear has been processed, absorbing too much "fear" will still affect the monster itself.

It's important to understand that earth spirits are also divided into different classes. Some earth spirits can control themselves well, using fear as a form of training. Others, however, are overwhelmed by fear and become puppets in pursuit of it.

Theoretically speaking, earth monsters are the basic level, and the technology required, while not necessarily high-end, must be quite sophisticated.

In fact, the opposite is true; the technology used to create earth-based demons has remained unchanged since their emergence. The Third Mizukage focused all his efforts on creating heavenly demons, which greatly increased Danzo's success rate in creating demons.

"The ninja world is in chaos again. Sunagakure and Iwagakure have invaded Takigakure and obtained the treasures belonging to Takigakure: the Sacred Tree, which is related to natural energy, and the Seven-Tails, which can serve as the foundation of a great village."

"The small Land of Waterfalls has stirred up the entire ninja world, which can be considered a highlight moment for the Hidden Takigakure."

The Third Mizukage stopped what he was doing and smiled with great interest.

"However, it's truly a case of great minds thinking alike! Sunagakure and Iwagakure stole Takigakure's treasure, and I'm also very interested in Kusagakure's Chest of Bliss."

Danzo, who had already perfectly concealed his true nature, secretly grumbled upon hearing the Third Mizukage's words.

How so?

The five great ninja villages are truly birds of a feather!

Danzo has been parasitizing the body of the Upper Stone for a long time. The integration should not be a further deepening of control, but rather the ability to control the Upper Stone's body without revealing any flaws.

Darkness can always conceal conspiracies. No matter how many unknown things are done at night, people believe that the night is a veil that can cover them up.

He then manipulated the body of the original stone and became very adept at his work as the Mizukage's assistant.

"Ueharashi, what do you think about our invasion of Kusagakure? If you were leading the team, what are your chances of success?"

The Third Mizukage asked Danzo, who was standing nearby, some questions with particular interest.

"Lord Mizukage, the invasion of Takigakure, fueled by Konoha, has already attracted the attention of the ninja world. If we go against the tide now, it will bring a lot of diplomatic pressure. Now is not a good time to invade Kusagakure."

Danzo spoke very well and very earnestly, as if he were completely thinking of the village's best interests.

If the Third Mizukage hadn't known that the person saying those words was his teacher, Danzo, he would have truly believed it.

The Third Mizukage neither agreed nor disagreed with Danzo's words.

"Great powers invade small powers, large villages plunder small villages; this has always been the way of the ninja world. Why can't it be the same now?"

"What? Only Sunagakure and Iwagakure are allowed to invade Takigakure, but Kirigakure is not allowed to invade Kusagakure?"

"Who made this rule? Isn't this bullying honest people?!"

Danzo also agreed with the Third Mizukage's words, believing that the ninja world should be like this in his mind, but he still gave a negative answer because there was an unavoidable existence.

"Konoha!"

Danzo spoke slowly, though he tried his best to hide it, a sense of pride still lingered.

At the same time, a complex look flashed in his eyes. He really didn't expect that Konoha would not decline after losing him!

"Konoha is currently at the height of its power, condemning Sunagakure and Iwagakure for invading Takigakure and being hailed as the 'Light of the Ninja World' by many smaller ninja villages. If we were to invade Kusagakure at this time, it would be a slap in the face to Konoha. If Konoha is burdened by its reputation, it might take measures against us."

"Although we have Heavenly Demons as high-end combat power and Earthly Demons to supplement our mid-to-low-end combat power, our overall strength is still far behind that of Konoha."

Danzo paused, thinking of his final battle with Hiruzen Sarutobi at the Valley of the End before he left Konoha.

Five Spirit Kings VS Nightmare Demon King!

That was one of the few shining moments in my darkest life! I felt that as long as I controlled the Nightmare King, I could do whatever I wanted, do whatever I wanted, do whatever I wanted.

Danzo felt it was time to contact the remaining pawns in Konoha and see if he could find a way to obtain the Titan armor.

If all else fails, then he could take the risk of contacting his disciple, Shiichi. As the developer of the Guyver armor, secretly embezzling a Titan armor unit should be quite easy, right?

After reminiscing, Danzo continued, "The giant armor of Konoha is no weaker than the Heavenly Youkai, especially the second stage of the giant armor."

Upon hearing Danzo's words, the Third Mizukage nodded in agreement. He naturally knew the immense power of the Titan Armor, a ruthless weapon of war.

"Alright, Konoha certainly has the strength. But from the day the rules were established, the benefits of breaking them were enough to make people take risks, weren't they? Besides, the rules haven't even been finalized yet."

The Third Mizukage glanced at Danzo and said calmly:

"The Paradise Box of Kusagakure is something the village absolutely must obtain. It is the core of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ritual and an aid in the birth of the Lord of Demons and Monsters."

Danzo looked into the Third Mizukage's pitch-black eyes and sensed a calm yet profound meaning.

"The purpose of this invasion of Kusagakure is to retrieve the Box of Paradise. The Box of Paradise is the core of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. If we can touch it in advance, we may gain an advantage in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."

"It would be a real shame if you weren't willing to participate in this operation, Origin Stone."

Danzo's expression changed upon hearing this. He had come to Kirigakure for two reasons: firstly, to seize power and betray his enemies at a crucial moment; and secondly, to take control of the Lord of Demons and Monsters.

Now that Danzo knows that the Box of Bliss is related to the Lord of Demons and Monsters, how can he possibly hold back?

So he immediately said, "Lord Mizukage, please be sure to let me join this operation."

"Although invading Kusagakure might provoke Konoha's anger, Konoha will not initiate a war, because it is the biggest beneficiary of the order itself. Any form of war will damage Konoha's interests."

"Furthermore, after invading Kusagakure, we've joined forces with Sunagakure and Iwagakure. Konoha will definitely be cautious in the face of these three great ninja villages unless they want to unify the ninja world."

The Mizukage nodded as he looked at Danzo, who had casually changed his attitude.

"This mission to plunder the Chest of Bliss in Kusagakure must be flawless. Besides you, we need other people to join us."

"Let's have Uzumaki Yūki and Kisame. Go and tell them to come to the Mizukage's office."
