Shirou's clones number 30 million

Therefore, once they leave, it will probably be difficult to meet again.

"Boar-Deer-Butterfly?"

"There are no more Ino-Shika-Cho. However, with the Mizukage's foresight, the three of us might reunite in Kirigakure soon."

"Naiyoshi said that I haven't figured out the Akimichi clan's weakness yet."

"I won't give you any advice."

"Don't worry, I'm not counting on you. With Danzo around, I'll hollow out Konoha sooner or later."

Danzo! Damn it...

After hesitating for a few seconds between reporting to the Hokage and pretending not to know, Yamanaka Inoichi let out a long sigh.

The Third Hokage and Danzo had a close relationship, much like the relationship between their three clans—their fortunes were intertwined, and their losses were shared.

Even if he reported it, he would at most reprimand Danzo a few times, which would be of no serious consequence.

Moreover, it is more likely that he viewed his actions as revenge against Danzo and ignored them.

"Eh... When did Konoha become like this? I wonder what the Second Hokage would think if he knew."

"He might get so angry that he'd jump out of his coffin, but of course, the First Hokage would stop him immediately."

......

Within the Nara clan, Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku, and Akimichi Choza sat around a drinking table, the atmosphere extremely heavy.

"Haiyi, have you made up your mind?"

"This is the only way." Yamanaka Inoichi sighed softly. "Take care of yourselves from now on."

Nara Shikaku raised his sake cup, clinked it against the two men's, and sighed:

"Actually, this afternoon I overheard a rumor on the street. The gist of it was that the Nara clan can control others with their shadows and can also use their shadows to spy on others. Where there are shadows, there is Nara."

"Is the Yamanaka clan not enough to satisfy his appetite?" Yamanaka Inoichi's expression changed slightly.

"Clearly, his appetite is greater than we imagined. In two more days, our Nara clan will surely follow in the footsteps of the Yamanaka clan."

"I wonder what kind of feelings Senior White Fang had when he left back then? Come on, drink...!"

"You must be very disappointed."

Rather, it's more accurate to say that even Nara Shikaku himself was completely disappointed with Konoha.

Just now, he went to the Hokage Building to report the situation to the Third Hokage, but unfortunately he witnessed the Third Hokage angrily scolding Danzo.

However, despite the anger and criticism, the Third Hokage ultimately did not punish him, letting the matter drop by having Danzo lead the attack on Kumogakure.

At the same time, he appointed himself as Danzo's advisor.

Immediately afterwards, he overheard passersby on the street slandering the Nara clan.

Such a coincidence happened, so it can't possibly be a coincidence.

Based on this analysis, this must be Danzo giving himself a warning.

Clearly, he already considered the Nara clan as his own.

"Inoichi, Konoha has become a living hell, filled with man-eating demons. I'll leave with you."

"Are you going to abandon me?" Akimichi Choza suddenly put down his wine glass.

"I'm sorry, Choji, but our two clans can no longer stay in Konoha."

“I’m leaving too! You two are both smarter than me. Since you’ve both made the decision at the same time, I can only play along.”

"Thank you."

Late that night, the settlements of the three races—Pig, Deer, and Butterfly—simultaneously took to the sky, merged into a small island, and disappeared into the horizon.

For the next two weeks, almost every night, small clans would take to the air and leave Konoha.

The once bustling Hidden Leaf Village has gradually become desolate.

Meanwhile, Danzo led his team to the border, intending to fight a great battle with the Hidden Cloud Village as a merit to ascend to the position of Hokage.

However, upon arriving at the battlefield, they received news of the retreat of the Hidden Cloud Village.

At Shinichi's suggestion, he accepted the defeat of Kumogakure with a clear conscience, and achieved the unprecedented result of zero casualties.

"Hiruzen! All your supporters have defected. Now, let's see how you fight me?"

"I'm determined to become the Fifth Hokage!"

At the same time, Danzo became even more convinced of his own views.

'Once I become Hokage, I'll place cursed seals on every ninja in the village, and see how they dare to defect then!'

'Shinichi's idea is excellent; my approach was too petty. From now on, Konoha is mine!'

Thinking of this, Danzo looked at Shinichi again.

"Shinichi, thanks to your help, I finally see hope of becoming Hokage."

"When I become Hokage, I will appoint you as my assistant. At that time, Konoha will usher in a new era."

"That's right! Under Lord Danzo's leadership, Konoha will be completely transformed." Shinichi had a faint smile on his face, and his mood was getting better and better.

The day Danzo ascends to the position of Hokage will be the day Konoha is destroyed.

That day is almost here!

Chapter 465 Konoha Will Usher in a New Era

Chapter 466: Konoha Will Usher in a New Era

"Hurry! Get to Konoha as fast as you can!"

At this moment, an army of ten thousand Chunin-level or higher ninjas, led by Mizukage Shirou, is rushing towards Konoha Village.

During this period, due to the continuous use of large-scale genjutsu, it was never detected by Konoha.

Of course, due to the large number of people, occasionally some rogue ninjas and small groups of Konoha ninjas would happen to run into them, but after only one encounter, they would be controlled by genjutsu, and with Sharingan eyes, they would join the Hidden Mist army.

With the blessing of various status magic spells, even the weakest member of the ninja army possesses lightning speed.

What used to be a journey that took several days has been shortened to just a few hours.

We set off in the morning and arrived at the gates of Konoha Village by noon.

"Mist Ninja!"

Before the two ninjas guarding the gate could even utter a sound, their consciousness began to fade.

The next moment, Sharingan appeared in both of their eyes, and they naturally joined the Kirigakure army.

"Let's begin! Don't attack civilians; try to persuade them to surrender before engaging in combat. Also, when facing unconscious enemies, prioritize taking them prisoner!"

The reason for adding this sentence is that there are quite a few former Konoha ninja in our army.

"on!"

At Shirou's command, over ten thousand Mist Ninja rushed out instantly.

Due to the presence of numerous traitors, Konoha's warning barrier was ineffective, and by the time the village discovered it, the Mist Ninja were already upon them.

……

At this very moment, Danzo was standing atop the Hokage Building, looking down at the villagers with great pride.

"Listen up, everyone! From this day forward, I am the Hokage of Konoha!"

"Konoha is about to enter a new era!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of smoke rose in the distance, accompanied by a series of explosions.

"what happened?"

A Root ninja appeared beside Danzo, knelt on one knee, and said in extreme panic:

"Lord Danzo, something terrible has happened! Kirigakure has invaded!"

"What! What are the Anbu doing? The enemy is already at our doorstep, and we haven't received any news at all."

Danzo's expression changed slightly, and he immediately looked at Shinichi, who was not far behind him:

"Shinichi, could it be that all those members of the Anbu have betrayed us?"

"Lord Danzo, I am very sorry, but I have only been the head of the Anbu for a short time and do not yet have much say."

"This is not your fault, it's all the former minister's fault. I'll put a curse mark on him and hand him over to you to deal with."

As the two were talking, an extremely oppressive aura (Conqueror's Haki) suddenly swept in from afar, and wherever it passed, villagers and ninjas all collapsed to the ground.

In just a short moment, the crowd below the Hokage Building collapsed to the ground.

Even Danzo felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Holding onto the wall, he finally regained consciousness, only to find himself being held down by a large group of Root ninjas with kunai.

"Damn it! Even you betrayed me? Shinichi, run! As long as you're alive, there's still hope for Konoha!"

"Huh...? I never expected that even at this point, Lord Danzo would still trust me so much. I am truly grateful."

Shinichi chuckled softly, then, as if he had just remembered, laughed again:

"Ah...right, I remember now, you seem to be under my illusion spell, which is why you obey me so readily."

"Of course, thanks to Lord Danzo's 'good' reputation in the past, no one in Konoha doubts that you did these things."

"What are you saying! Run!"

Danzo ignored the sarcasm in Shinichi's words and continued yelling for him to run away.

In the blink of an eye, the Mist Ninja army had already attacked.

The numerous ninjas watching the ceremony below were all unconscious due to the previous Conqueror's Haki, and were being tied up one after another by the Mist Ninja while they were asleep.

The Mizukage, Shirou, descended from the sky, hovering in mid-air. He looked at Danzo, whose neck and head were being held against numerous kunai, with a surprised expression.

"What's going on? Danzo isn't the kind of person who would be captured so easily, is he?"

"Mizukage! How did you get here?" Danzo glared angrily. "Damn Hiruzen, what are you doing? How could you let the Mist Ninja come to our doorstep?"
