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

Chapter 44 The Sannin's Resolve (Please read further, vote, and give monthly tickets)

late at night.

Exhausted, Yakushi Nonou returned to her residence and saw Hoshishita Shu sitting cross-legged. Her eyes lit up, and she instinctively rushed forward, calling out, "Onii-chan~"

Just as she was about to hug Hoshishita Hide, Yakushi Nonou realized what was happening and slammed on the brakes. Her face flushed red, she looked awkwardly at the masked Hoshishita Hide and stammered, "Captain... Captain!"

Xingxia Xiu's outstretched hand also paused.

It seems that he is no longer in a state of "mental abnormality".

No, the aftereffects are still there!

Hoshino Hide's hand immediately fell, pressing on Yakushi Nonou's head and gently ruffling her hair.

Yakushi Nonou immediately showed a little expression of enjoyment, and reached out to hug Hoshino Shu's arm.

Hoshita Shu took off his mask and looked down at Yakushi Nonou, saying, "When no one's around, you can call me Onii-chan."

Looking at Hoshino's handsome face, Yakushi Nonou nodded emphatically, then quickly said, "Onii-chan, I've discovered a secret."

"There's a secret entrance in the hospital, which seems to hold the secrets of the Sora Ninja."

Entrance?

Aerial Fortress!

Hoshita smiled, put her mask back on, and laughed, "Well done!"

"However, this information should not be revealed to anyone other than me."

"Because according to the intelligence I received, that entrance should lead to a secret place of the Sky Ninja, where an extremely evil power is hidden."

"The Sky Ninja stole the village's secret techniques in order to use this evil power to start a war."

Yakushi Nonou nodded emphatically, "Yes, I understand."

Hoshita Shu gently patted Yakushi Nonou's head: "Go wash up and rest!"

"The village is about to launch a full-scale attack on the Sky Ninja in the next few days. I will come to find you before then. Be careful and don't be reckless."

"Your first task is to preserve yourself so that the intelligence you obtain can be sent out."

Yakushi Nonou nodded obediently, her eyes filled with admiration for Hoshino Shu.

The days when Xingxia Xiu transformed into a wandering ninja and protected her every day were the happiest and most peaceful times she had ever experienced.

Watching Yakushi Nono go to wash up, Hoshishita Shu withdrew his gaze and sighed inwardly.

I still softened my heart.

Oh well, let's just consider it as cultivating a useful chess piece.

When it comes to talent, we can't just focus on benefits; we also need to show some genuine care and concern.

Yes, bonds!

The double standards that Xingxiaxiu unconsciously displayed.

Hoshino Hideki does not agree with Danzo's method of turning people into emotionless machines.

What makes us human is that we have seven emotions and six desires.

As social animals, humans are constantly influenced by others, so how can they always remain ruthless?

The more suppressed you are, the more terrifying the outburst will be, and the more severe the backlash will be.

After sorting out his thoughts, Hoshino continued to ponder the mysteries of Wood Release.

After Yakushi Nonou got into bed in her pajamas, Hoshishita Hide created three more wooden clones.

Don't go to sleep tonight, Kong Ren.

……

Looking at the pile of broken wood at the bottom of the pit, Gu Yue Dacheng's face was gloomy.

Another clone!

In order to eliminate this clone, four of them died, and everyone involved in the siege was injured, including himself.

In addition, a lightning ninja was assassinated.

"This guy is specifically targeting Lightning Release ninjas, just like he targeted Sensory Release ninjas before, damn it..."

Gu Yue Dacheng gritted his teeth.

"Where do you think this guy's real body might be hiding?"

Gu Yue Da Cheng asked the other Sky Ninjas around him.

There are just too many possibilities.

One of the air ninjas said helplessly, "Without enough sensory ninjas, we simply have no way to lock onto his chakra."

"This guy's infiltration skills are too good."

Another ninja said, "There are too many people in the village. Apart from ourselves, anyone could be this guy in disguise."

Gu Yue Dacheng sighed upon hearing this, feeling a deep weariness in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he shouted, "Continue the search!"

"We have to find this guy, otherwise..."

One person is already causing them so much trouble. If this continues, the village will likely collapse as soon as Konoha's army arrives.

Gu Yue Da Cheng continued searching for Xing Xia Xiu's true form.

That night, they were destined to be sleepless.

Xingxia Xiu's assassinations became increasingly successful.

Those below the rank of Jonin have almost no power to resist his assassination attempt.

Even if they were blocked by the Sky Ninja Jonin and his men, in the end, only the clones would be destroyed.

This is what Kongren finds most unbearable.

No sleep for one night.

The following day, in a small town outside the Sky Ninja Village.

Inuzuka Ryo hurriedly entered the courtyard and greeted Danzo: "Lord Danzo, the captain has brought back the intelligence!"

Danzo stood up and took it; it was a booklet.

Upon opening it, one finds intelligence reports on various Kong ninja.

The profile picture is hand-drawn, and the text is handwritten.

Danzo nodded with satisfaction and immediately ordered, "Copy it out immediately and distribute it!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Inuzuka Ryo immediately accepted the order and left with the intelligence.

He bumped into three people as soon as he stepped out the door.

acquaintance!

Inuzuka Ryo stepped aside to make way.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru hurried inside to see Danzo.

Danzo wasn't surprised to see the three of them and asked, "Does Hiruzen have any orders?"

Jiraiya shook his head: "The master has not given any new orders. At the front, everything should be done with the support of the troops."

Danzo was not surprised. He nodded slightly, glanced at the three of them, paused on Tsunade, and said, "Orochimaru, you stay by my side."

"Jiraiya, Tsunade, each of you take a unit and work with Root to seal off the Sky Village."

"From now on, no supplies are allowed to enter this village, and no one is allowed to enter."

"As for those who come out from inside, kill them without mercy!"

Tsunade and Jiraiya's expressions changed.

Jiraiya said, "Could it be that even commoners...?"

Danzo coldly replied, "How can you be so sure they are civilians?"

"How can you be sure that a ninja isn't hiding on them using transformation techniques?"

"How can you be sure that the children who escaped from there are descendants of ninjas? Are you sure they won't seek revenge against Konoha when they grow up?"

A barrage of questions left Jiraiya speechless.

Tsunade pursed her lips, her expression quite unpleasant.

Danzo coldly warned, "This is war, unlike any other mission!"

"Our goal is to destroy the Sky Ninja Village!"

"Because they coveted the village's sealing techniques and tailed beasts, they cooperated with the Cloud Ninja and targeted the village at every turn."

"They are unforgivable!"

"So, put away your little bit of sympathy."

Tsunade was annoyed and opened her mouth to speak, but Jiraiya stopped her, while Orochimaru remained silent.

For Orochimaru, Danzo was absolutely right.

In war, everyone except your own people can be an enemy.

Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself and your comrades.

Danzo frowned as he looked at Tsunade, then changed his order: "Tsunade, you stay and take charge of the medical team."

"Jiraiya, Orochimaru, each of you lead a unit on a mission!"

Orochimaru nodded: "Understood!"

Jiraiya nodded in agreement.

Although Tsunade was unhappy, she reluctantly accepted the order.

Once outside the courtyard, Tsunade immediately asked Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, do you think he's right?"

Orochimaru didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Tsunade, what would you do if a Sky Ninja was hiding among ordinary people and suddenly attacked, causing the death of one of your comrades?"

Tsunade opened her mouth, but finally said helplessly, "I understand."

Although he has grown into a Jonin, this is the first time he has participated in such a war.

The brutality of war is completely different from that of ordinary missions.

Especially a war that aims to wipe out an entire ninja village.

Seeing Tsunade's low spirits, Jiraiya's eyes lit up, and he said, "Speaking of which, that interesting guy from Root, he should be here this time too, right?"

Orochimaru said, "This time, almost the entire Root organization has been mobilized; we might be able to run into them."

Tsunade showed a hint of interest and scoffed, "If you see him, tell that guy to watch out, lest he die!"
