Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 117 Working Hard, Each with Their Own Ambition! (Please Subscribe and Vote)

After much thought, Xingxiaxiu could only come up with one feasible method.

Impure World Reincarnation!

Only the state of being reborn from the dead can be considered the same as the state of being full of energy and fierceness.

Transform yourself into the Impure World Reincarnation state?

You're out of your mind!

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Xingxia Xiu felt helpless, but she quickly put it aside and shifted her attention to how to make good use of this short month.

Because not only does he himself possess the "Dragon Spirit and Tiger Might" state, but his clones also do.

In other words, the clones created at this time will not disappear due to the consumption of chakra, unless they suffer fatal injuries.

"This month, I can even endlessly mass produce troops and gain experience."

"However, we must also take into account the massive amount of experience feedback and the accumulation of countless hours of fatigue."

"Therefore, it is still necessary to dispel the clone every once in a while."

The Star Show is going to work overtime.

He refused to believe that he couldn't master the nature transformation of lightning release even if he created thousands of clones.

shhh~~

The twelve clones inside the room immediately vanished into thin air.

Xingxia Xiu continued to split into multiple entities.

He not only needs to master Lightning Release, but also Spore Technique, Descent of the Flowering Tree World, Wind Release Chakra Mode, Wood Human Technique, Four Symbols Sealing Technique, and the Sensory Ninjutsu Earth Listening Technique...

There are also Earth Release ninjutsu, Water Release ninjutsu, Fire Release, and Lava Release.

A month is too short; Xingxiaxiu needs to work incredibly hard, aiming to achieve the results of a year of intensive training.

Thus, Hoshino Shu, who had been studying sealing techniques at home, began to constantly organize and absorb the memories and experiences of his clones, and then create new clones.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the study, Hoshino, who was processing the feedback from his clone's memories, smiled: "The Lightning Release nature transformation is finally complete."

not easy.

It took a hundred clones seven days to successfully cultivate, not including the time spent beforehand.

Based on this calculation, under normal circumstances, it would take more than two years.

Cultivating this non-innate chakra attribute is extremely inefficient.

But for shows like Star Show, this is necessary.

At present, it is difficult for him to reach the upper limit of his strength.

Expanding horizontally, from specialization to breadth, can also raise the upper limit of one's combat power.

"Now that I've mastered Lightning Release: Nature Transformation, let's develop Chidori, Raikiri, and Chidori Stream..."

The Star Show has started splitting into multiple parts again.

While Xingxia Xiu was using his cheat code to create clones and work overtime, the situation on the battlefield in the Land of Rain was constantly changing.

The Sand Village fought Hanzo for months. Although Chiyo had broken the poison of the salamander, Hanzo's ability to use poison in group battles was truly astonishing. In addition, his swordsmanship and body-flickering technique were top-notch. Without the Third Kazekage, no one on the battlefield could defeat him.

Starting in April, the Sand Ninja began to suffer a series of defeats.

However, at the same time, the number of troops sent from Sunagakure to the Land of Rivers is constantly increasing.

The time is August 12st, Konoha Year 37.

The war situation in the Land of Rain has undergone a tremendous change.

The border of the land of rain and the land of wind.

On the salamander, Hanzo watched the Sand Ninja retreat into the Land of Wind, but felt no joy of victory.

Because he knew that the battle with Sunagakure was not over yet.

"The River Country can hold out for a while longer..."

Hanzo was unwilling to give up the benefits he had already gained from the Land of Rivers.

"If we can defeat Iwagakure and Konoha as soon as possible, we can quickly provide support to the Land of Rivers."

Hanzo thought to himself, "Furthermore, Konoha would certainly not want to see Sunagakure obtain the Land of Rivers."

"So, next... let's deal with Iwagakure!"

Konoha's strongest is the one he'll save for last.

At the same time, Konoha can also help him deal with Sunagakure.

After only one day of rest, Hanzo led his troops westward to attack Iwagakure.

Konoha's front-line headquarters.

Mitokado Homura looked at the intelligence report that had been sent back and a look of delight appeared on his face: "As expected, Hanzo attacked Iwagakure first."

Danzo remained calm: "This was expected."

"However, the situation in the Land of Rivers is probably not too good."

"Hanzo's forces are now concentrated in the Land of Rain, and the Land of Rivers will definitely be unable to withstand the attack from Sunagakure."

Mitokado Homura nodded: "We're afraid we'll have no choice but to get involved in the war in the Land of Rivers."

Danzo nodded: "Hanzo probably also saw this point, which is why he dealt with Iwagakure first."

Mitokado Homura asked, "Shall we continue waiting for Hanzo and Iwagakure to settle their score?"

Danzo shook his head, his gaze sharp: "No."

"We should take this opportunity to weaken Hanzo and Iwagakure."

"We absolutely cannot allow Hanzo to quickly defeat Iwagakure."

Mitomon Homura nodded, but then hesitated and asked, "What about the River Country?"

Danzo said, "The Rain Village can hold out for a while longer."

"We only need a small force to interfere, so that Sunagakure can't defeat the Rain Village ninja of the Land of River so quickly."

"Hiruzen will probably arrange it the same way."

……

Half a day later, Hiruzen Sarutobi also received the information sent back by Danzo, along with Danzo's advice.

After reading it, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately ordered the Anbu: "Send Sakumo back to the village!"

Previously, Sakumo Hatake was transferred to the northern border to defend against the Cloud Ninja. Now that Hiruzen Sarutobi is stationed in Konoha, the White Fang of Konoha can be freed up to deal with the Sand Village.

The Rain Village can hold off the Sand Village for a while, and Hiruzen Sarutobi feels it's unnecessary to immediately launch a large-scale attack; a small elite force can be used to disrupt the Sand Village first.

Delaying the large-scale war by even one day would be advantageous for Konoha.

After giving the order, Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into deep thought again.

The battlefield of the Land of Rain, the Land of Rivers... What he needs to consider is not only curbing Hanzo's ambitions, preventing Sunagakure from obtaining the Land of Rivers, and protecting Konoha's interests.

But this is only the most basic.

Doing all of this only makes one a qualified Hokage.

However, after a major war, simply maintaining previous interests is far from enough.

"The Kingdom of the Moon, the Kingdom of the River, the Kingdom of the Rain..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the ninja world map in the office.

The Land of the Moon is the former location of the Sky Ninja Village.

The Sky Ninja have been wiped out, but because of the Cloud Ninja, Konoha did not complete the mission to the Land of the Moon.

The Yunren are ambitious and have been holding back their actions until they seize an opportunity to strike.

The latest novel is first published here!

The task of defeating the Cloud Ninja and taking over the Moon Kingdom requires at least half of the objectives.

The land of rivers, at least half of it.

As for the Land of Rain...

Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled Danzo's suggestion.

Eliminate Hanzo and take over the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain is not rich in resources and is surrounded by three major powers, making it a place of constant warfare.

With Konoha's strength, taking down Amegakure wouldn't be a problem.

The key is whether Sunagakure and Iwagakure can recognize each other.

Otherwise, the Land of Rain, a land of constant warfare, would plunge Konoha into a quagmire.

Or perhaps they could divide up the Land of Rain together with Iwagakure and Sunagakure?

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that it would be better to let the Land of Rain maintain the status quo and act as a buffer zone between the three major powers.

"Starry Night Show..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered silently.

Danzo proposed to devour the Land of Rain because he possessed the powerful Wood Release and the Four-Tails' Star-Under-the-Headed Hide.

Hoshino Shu was able to fight on par with Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, demonstrating that he already possessed the strength of the five Great Shinobi Villages' Kage, especially in terms of the characteristics of Wood Release.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also tempted.

But unlike Danzo, he had to consider the possibility of failure.

If we deal with Hanzo first, but can't force Iwagakure and Sunagakure to acquiesce to Konoha's control over the Land of Rain, then it will be very troublesome.

Facing constant attacks from the three great ninja villages, even with its deep foundation, Konoha would eventually succumb.

To win, one must have the ability to win quickly and decisively end the war.

……

While Hiruzen Sarutobi was weighing the pros and cons and hesitating, Hideaki Hoshita at home obtained information from Daichi Shimura about the front lines.

The war is about to escalate further.

Xingxia Xiu felt that she wouldn't have much time left to quietly cultivate herself.

After reviewing the intelligence, Hoshishita Hide looked up and asked Shimura Daichi, "Does Lord Danzo have any orders?"

Shimura Daichi nodded and solemnly said, "Lord Danzo orders you that if the Third Hokage asks you whether you are confident in taking down the Land of Rain and stopping the attack from Iwagakure, you must give a firm and affirmative answer."

Hoshita Shuu exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Danzo wants to take over the Land of Rain?"

Who gave him the courage?

Could it be me?

It seems like I'm the only one left!

Shimura Daichi said, "Lord Danzo said that this will be your last battle in Root."

"This will also be the battle that makes you a Jonin of Konoha."

After saying that, Shimura Daichi couldn't help but ask again, "A, are you confident?"

Hoshinobi thought about it seriously: "As long as we block Iwagakure, Danzo and I will have no problem."

"But if we take over the Land of Rain, we'll face not only Iwagakure, but also Sunagakure and Kumogakure."

"At that time, the village will definitely face the three great ninja villages at the same time."

Shimura Daichi shook his head and said, "What I mean is, are you confident you can take down Hanzo?"

Hoshita Hide smiled and said, "Since Lord Danzo thinks it's acceptable, then of course it is."

Shimura Daichi sighed helplessly, then said in a deep voice, "Lord Danzo probably means to get rid of Hanzo first. No matter what happens afterward, Hanzo must die."

Xingxia Xiu nodded.

Whether or not Danzo can conquer the Land of Rain is not a decision he can make.

Will Hiruzen Sarutobi make up his mind?

That would be difficult; as the Hokage, he wouldn't take such a big gamble.

So taking out Hanzo first would both give Hiruzen Sarutobi confidence and force him to comply with the situation.

Let's just kill them!

I don't care about the show under the stars.

He once said that Konoha would not allow such a powerful person to exist around them.

but.

If we eliminate Hanzo, can we then take Yahiko, Konan, and most importantly, Nagato into our fold?

Is Nagato currently on the run?

And Madara Uchiha...

Xingxia Xiu sensed that taking down Hanzo and conquering the Land of Rain would bring about tremendous changes, drastically altering the future he knew.

However, none of these are the key points.

The key question is whether he can profit from it.

Is it even possible to obtain the Rinnegan?

"It's not too difficult to obtain the Rinnegan. Even with White Zetsu watching, Madara Uchiha's rescue speed won't be that fast."

"The key question is, can I stop Madara Uchiha right now?"

Xingxia Xiu asked himself.
