This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Danzo sneered and did not respond to Hatake Sakumo's scolding. He just stared at Hatake Sakumo with a pair of cold triangular eyes.

"What on earth do you mean, Shimura Danzo!!!"

Hatake Sakumo was a ninja who had experienced many storms and seen big scenes, so he gradually calmed down and questioned Shimura Danzo in a cold voice.

"Sakumo, this is the Hokage."

"Don't you understand that after this battle in Sunagakure, with your achievements, you are already the most favorable contender for the position of Hokage?"

"With my help and the help of the Root, we can work together to bring down Sarutobi Hiruzen and make you the Fourth Hokage."

"how?"

Danzo Shimura ignored the cold expression on Hatake Sakumo's face and still put on a disgusting fake smile, and continued to seduce Hatake Sakumo without being discouraged.

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo fell silent.

No one knew better than him what kind of power this seemingly ugly middle-aged man held in his hands.

——The Root Organization is a more secretive and advanced violent organization than the Anbu of Konoha.

When the other party said they supported him to take the position, it was not just empty talk, but they had the capital and ability to do so.

This 827 is Hokage!!!

The ninja world is so vast, who can remain indifferent when faced with the opportunity to become the Hokage?

Obviously, Hatake Sakumo was also moved.

But soon, after the initial excitement, he gradually regained his composure.

It is true that Hatake Sakumo had certain dreams of becoming Hokage, but as the former head of the Anbu of Konoha, he knew better what kind of person Danzo was.

Cooperating with Danzo is like trying to get the skin of a tiger.

And just as Danzo said, since defeating Sunagakure, he has become the person closest to the position of Hokage within Konoha.

Why not take the right path and take the risk of cooperating with a venomous snake like Danzo?

"That's enough, Minister Shimura."

"I will pretend I didn't hear anything you said today."

At this moment, Hatake Sakumo's face was as cold as the coldest days of winter, and he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Danzo did not stop him, but the malice on his face became more and more obvious.

The two passed each other and Danzo suddenly spoke.

"Sakumo, you're going to regret this."

The sound was like the spitting of a poisonous snake or the whisper of a devil, constantly echoing in Hatake Sakumo's ears.

Hatake Sakumo paused, then left with firm steps.

Looking at Hatake Sakumo's back, Danzo's triangular eyes were already filled with madness, and his ugly, sallow face also showed a smile of success.

Chapter 486, Diverting Conflicts

At the foot of a rocky mountain, an endless village is rooted here. All the buildings in the village are made of piled stones, and the whole place is a uniform earth yellow.

In the very center of the village, a tall tower-shaped building stands, which looks particularly eye-catching.

At the top of the tall tower, a huge "earth" character is particularly eye-catching, and also explains the name of the village - Yanyin Village.

This rocky tower is none other than the Tsuchikage Building in Iwagakure Village.

Outside the rock tower, the atmosphere was extremely chaotic at this moment, with noise everywhere. Hundreds of rock ninjas spontaneously gathered under the tower.

They resisted and cursed unwillingly, as if they were using this method to vent their inner dissatisfaction.

The people inside the tower seemed to be oblivious to the noise outside, and no one seemed to want to come out and interfere.

In fact, this kind of gathering and noise has happened more than once or twice.

Since the Iwagakure army that went to attack the Kumogakure retreated half a month ago and brought the news of defeat, such protests have occurred more frequently.

On top of a high tower, a young man with an honest expression looked down at the scene below, a sense of powerlessness in his eyes.

Huang Tu felt sad and suddenly felt a surge of grief in his heart.

Iwagakure's defeat this time can no longer be described as a loss of troops and soldiers. It is a complete humiliation of national sovereignty. Not only did they lose two of their own people, they even lost the Tsuchikage in one battle.

Faced with such a result, the people in the village were naturally uneasy and protested repeatedly.

But faced with this result, Huangtu had no idea what to do.

Defeat was already a fact. If it weren't for some reasons, the last 10,000 or so fresh troops of Iwagakure would have had no chance of returning alive from the battlefield.

Faced with the indignant crowd below, he couldn't lead this group of defeated soldiers all the way to the Land of Water to rescue Ōnoki, right?

Thinking of this, a trace of fear flashed in Huangtu's eyes, and his burly body couldn't help but tremble.

not to mention

There is still that devil-like man in Kirigakure!

Thinking of that man, Huang Tu cut off the unrealistic fantasy in his heart.

But now, the unfavorable situation in the village is also a fact. If the situation is allowed to continue to develop like this, big problems will arise sooner or later. He must find a way to solve all this as soon as possible.

How to do?

Huang Tu was at a loss for a moment, overwhelmed by a huge feeling of powerlessness in his heart, and his burly body became a little hunched in an instant.

"Snapped !"

At this moment, a strong hand patted Huang Tu's shoulder.

Huang Tu turned around in confusion, only to see a young ninja who was also extremely tall and strong, with a very determined face.

"Wenya"

Huangtu recognized the person who came. It was Wen Ya, the genius from the Hidden Rock who had survived the battlefield with him.

Perhaps Huang Tu was in too poor a condition, and he didn't even notice when Wen Ya walked behind him.

"Huangtu, this isn't a solution. We must address the accumulated discontent in the village."

Wen Ya advised Huang Tu with an encouraging look.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and naturally a village cannot be without a shadow for a day.

After it became clear that the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki was destined not to return in the short term, a new Tsuchikage would naturally emerge in Iwagakure.

In this situation, it was obvious that no one was more suitable than Huang Tu, so Huang Tu naturally became the fourth Tsuchikage of Iwagakure.

Huang Tu also became the second Fourth Hokage to appear in the Ninja World after Kirigakure.

"call"

After hearing Wen Ya's words, Huang Tu first let out a long sigh, then shook his head with a helpless smile.

He also wanted to come up with an idea, but the reality was that he was completely helpless.

Seeing this, Wen Ya naturally understood what Huang Tu's expression meant. He did not hesitate and spoke directly to Huang Tu.

"We have no ability to change the internal conflicts in the village at the moment."

Wen Ya spoke seriously, his voice a little low, and Huang Tu was naturally very clear about this.

Unless Ohnoki can be rescued, everything will be in vain.

"Since we are unable to solve the problem at its root, why don't we try to divert the conflict?"

Wen Ya's words seemed to have other implications, and Huang Tu suddenly understood something.

"You mean"

Huang Tu's tone was hesitant and his eyes were a little wandering.

"Yes!"

In response, Wen Ya nodded firmly.

Whenever a country or force has irreconcilable internal conflicts, the only solution is to transfer these conflicts to the outside.

That is to say - launching a foreign war!

Given Iwagakure's current state, launching another war is undoubtedly dancing on the edge of a knife. If they are not careful, they may be crushed to pieces.

However, if no way is found to divert the accumulated internal contradictions and dissatisfaction, the problems within Iwagakure will sooner or later cause this once glorious one of the five great ninja villages to fall apart.

And this is the method Wen Ya used to divert conflicts.

Wen Ya's method seemed extremely unreliable, but at this moment, Yanyin had no other options except this one.

After all, Huangtu came to power in a hurry and had no ability to suppress the riot in Yanyin at this time.

Not only that, Wen Ya's plan may seem very reckless at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is quite feasible.

"Huh"

Huang Tu took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision in his heart.

Given Iwagakure's current state, starting a war with any other of the five major ninja villages would be like hitting a rock with an egg, which would lead to death.

But who said that Iwagakure must attack the big country?

Although the Ninja World War has reached its end, the Ninja World is still in a turbulent period. Iwagakure can take advantage of this opportunity to attack a small country nearby.

If this is successful, it will not only divert the imminent internal conflicts for Iwagakure.

It can also boost the morale of the Rock Ninjas that have just been encountered, and use this battle to make an example of them and deter other small countries.

The resources plundered from the war (money) can also make up for the economic losses suffered by Yanyin due to the defeat.

Although as a big country, it would be a bit of a loss of face to attack a small country, but now that things have come to this, how could Huangtu be so stubborn as to suffer for the sake of face?

After much consideration, Huangtu made up his mind completely. Not only that, he even chose his target.

"Takinin!!!"

A hint of cruelty flashed in Huang Tu's eyes.

Huang Tu will never forget the "Taki ninjas" who intervened and helped Konoha fight against Iwagakure Qiufeng in the just-concluded Cloud and Rock War.

Hearing this, Wen Ya not only clenched his teeth

,% fists, eyes filled with deep hatred.

In Wen Ya's memory, Mizunoe Ryosuke had already made arrangements in advance. In Wen Ya's memory, when fighting against Kumogakure, the Iwagakure logistics troops were attacked, and it was all done by Konoha and Takigakure ninjas working together.

Whether it is Konoha, Kumogakure or Kirigakure, Iwagakure cannot afford to offend them now.

But taking down a Takinin was still easy for Iwagakure. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and that's not a joke.

Chapter 487: Three Ninjas vs. Demigods

“BOOM!!!!”

"Crash!!!!"

Following a deafening thunder, torrential rain poured down, covering the entire sky. Under this heavy rain, people seemed to have difficulty breathing.

Taking advantage of the heavy rain, Hanzo immediately gave the order to attack.

Countless Rain Ninjas wearing black vinyl raincoats were rapidly approaching the border of the Land of Fire in the heavy rain.

At the same time, on the other side, in the Land of Fire, Tsunade couldn't help feeling a little worried as she looked at the endless rain.

Such weather is a huge advantage for the Rain Ninja. She knows that Hanzo of the Salamander will never give up such an opportunity.

It's no secret that both sides are gearing up for the final showdown.

At this moment, at the border of the Land of Fire, countless Konoha ninjas were already on high alert, quietly waiting for the final orders from the three commanders.

At this time, Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were all fully armed and standing side by side. Then the three of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

With a wave of Tsunade's hand, the ninjas of Konoha rushed towards the border one after another827.

So what if we don’t have the advantage in terms of timing?

They are Konoha ninjas! How could they be afraid to fight for such a reason?

Tsunade turned around, her face showing a look of determination that she had no choice but to do her job.

At this moment, behind the three of them, more than a dozen elite Jonin of Konoha were looking at them seriously.
