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

As soon as they stepped out of the tent, Inuzuka Ryo and Yakushi Nonou appeared.

They were lying in ambush behind the tent, attempting to attack from behind to rescue people.

"Let's go, let's clear out the surrounding Sky Ninja!"

As Xingxia Xiu spoke, he formed a hand seal, and three shadow clones appeared, then scattered in a flash.

The pursuit of the fleeing enemy continued.

Inside the tent, Tsunade used medical ninjutsu while slowly drawing her ninja sword.

After the wounds had healed, Tsunade looked at the ninja sword beside her, thought for a moment, and then reached out and picked it up.

Although that guy was ruthless and brutal, he was doing it to save people.

……

On the other side, when Hoshino Shigehisa reappeared before Danzo with his men, it was already dark.

In the darkness, far from the campfire, Danzo spoke up: "Tell me your thoughts."

"yes!"

Hoshino Hide replied respectfully, "The roots can only be kept secret internally, not externally."

"Many Sky Ninja escaped this time, and some of them will definitely go to Kumogakure."

"My subordinates have used Wood Release extensively in the past; this information cannot be kept secret for long."

Danzo nodded.

Hoshita Hide continued, "Lord Danzo, it is not appropriate for you to have a rift with the Third Hokage right now. Since the information will be exposed sooner or later, why don't you take the initiative to recommend your subordinates to the Third Hokage?"

"Um?"

Danzo's gaze was like a knife.

Hoshita Hide continued, "I can become your spy for the Third Hokage!"

"Furthermore, I might try to win Tsunade over and make her a supporter of your becoming the Fourth Hokage!"

Danzo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Oh?"

"To win over Tsunade?"

"What are you planning to do?"

Hoshita Hideyoshi said, "If Tsunade and I were to marry, the prestige of the Senju clan inherited by Tsunade, including the legacy of the First and Second Hokage, would all belong to Lord Danzo."

combine?

Danzo looked at Hoshino with a hint of surprise.

This was a method he had never even considered.

But this...

Danzo considered Tsunade's personality for a moment and asked, "Are you confident?"

Hoshita Hideyoshi said, "Having the First Hokage's cells, I naturally have something that attracts Tsunade."

Danzo pondered the feasibility of the plan.

It's hard to say whether we can defeat Tsunade.

However, it is indeed feasible to arrange for Hoshino Hide to work as a spy for Hiruzen.

The only problem is Star Show's loyalty!

Danzo knew his old friend very well and had to admit in his heart that he possessed personal charisma.

At this moment, Hoshino Hideaki said again, "Lord Danzo, if you are to go from the dark root to the light of Hokage, you will definitely need a bridge, and I can build that bridge for you."

Danzo was deeply moved upon hearing this.

Looking at the respectful Hoshino, Danzo couldn't help but ponder.

If Xingxiaxiu is sent away, what can he use to control her?

Or perhaps...

In a critical moment, what method can be used to easily silence witnesses and bury numerous unspeakable things?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Danzo's mind, giving rise to countless schemes and plots.

However, Danzo did not respond to Hoshino, but said in a deep voice, "I will take care of this matter. Wood Release remains a secret, and for you, it is also your trump card!"

Xingxia Xiu immediately nodded: "Understood!"

……

After parting ways with Danzo and returning to Inuzuka Ryo and Yakushi Nonou's side, Hoshishita Hide looked at the flickering campfire and pondered to himself.

Danzo is a cunning and scheming man. He may not have the ambition to become Hokage right now, or perhaps his ambition is hidden deep in his heart.

However, Hoshino Shu believed that Danzo would be tempted by his suggestion.

His constant provocation of Danzo was practically tantamount to stirring up internal strife in Konoha.

However, if Konoha doesn't fall into chaos, how can he rise to power?

"If once doesn't work, try twice; if twice doesn't work, try three times. Sooner or later, I'll ignite the ambition hidden deep within you and set it ablaze..."

Xingxia Xiu lowered her eyes, concealing the evil within them.

Gather your chaotic thoughts and shift your focus to spiritual practice.

Wood Release and Hashirama Cells need to be further explored and developed. Although it may not reach the level of Hashirama Senju, it should be enough to create an elite Jonin or a Kage-level ninja.

In particular, it would be best to develop the skills that White Zetsu possesses.

Then comes Wind Release.

The prototype of Blade Storm has been taken out. The next step is to keep refining it, increasing the number of wind blades, improving control, and working hard on its form changes.

Then there's the application of vacuum blades in ninja swords, combining shape transformation and property transformation.

There's also the complete version of the Wind Release: Rasengan.

Finally, there's the Wind Instant...

Xingxia Xiu secretly combed her hair.

The latest novel is first published here!

Wood Release and Wind Release are now his most important techniques.

After that, Hoshino Shizuku further considered the issue of chakra levels.

Although his chakra is now so immense that it can be described as chakra torrents, it is still far inferior to that of Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, and Naruto.

"Whether it's the Zero-Tails, other tailed beasts, or the possible dragon veins, if you want to utilize them, you must have sealing techniques."

"The Myojin Sect needs Immortal Mode..."

"Besides these, Samehada is also a good choice."

Although Hoshino Shu can now use Wood Release to steal chakra, this does not increase his chakra limit.

This characteristic of Wood Release is used to fight protracted battles.

"Moreover, without considering the status bar, it seems that the only way for me to become invincible is to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."

"As for the status bar, it's too uncertain and not reliable enough..."

Xingxia Xiu sighed inwardly.

Thinking of the status bar, his thoughts turned back to his steel body.

If this state can be solidified, the ability to survive will be greatly enhanced.

Even though lightning is effective against it, not just any lightning technique can break through its defenses.

The indestructible body hardened by earth-escape technique still doesn't seem quite enough.

Steel Release... What a pity!

Shaking his head slightly, Xingxia Xiu drew his ninja sword, infused it with chakra, forming a layer of wind-style chakra on the blade, and then began to change its shape.

Serrated, circulating flow...

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Hoshino Hide and the others headed north under Danzo's guidance.

The scattered and fleeing ninjas are no longer a concern; Jiraiya and the others left behind are enough to clean up the mess.

On the contrary, to the north, Hatake Sakumo sent intelligence last night that the Cloud Ninja forces had moved south.

Although the scale was not large, it should not be underestimated, so Danzo personally led his men.

Following behind Danzo, Hoshino Shu couldn't help but sigh.

The current Danzo is truly different; he personally takes action when necessary.

Two hours later.

With a whooshing sound, one after another, Root ninjas wearing masks appeared on the front line where Konoha and Kumogakure were locked in a stalemate.

At that very moment, Konoha and Kumogakure were engaged in a small-scale battle.

As soon as he landed, Xingxia Xiu's gaze was drawn to one of the figures.

The white light was dazzling even in daylight.

"So fast!"

Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but be secretly startled.

That's much faster than him.

It's Sakumo Hatake!

No Cloud Ninja could stop the figure charging forward.

until……

Hoshinoshige narrowed his eyes: "That's Lava Release, Cloud Ninja's Earth Platform!"

The rubber ninja blocked the charge of Sakumo Hatake.

The invincible white fang dagger was blocked by rubber.
