Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

Uchiha Itachi walked in front without looking back, "I think so too, teacher. You don't seem to be willing to do so."

"It's boring, let's go!" Hinata Yangxi urged.

"You are all half dead, how can this team be good? Oh, by the way, teacher, which class are we in..." At the end, Inuzuka Hana looked puzzled.

"It doesn't matter. Once you become Chunin, we can disband." Ueno Hideto said indifferently.

Inuzuka Hana: "This is really speechless, you guys should at least pretend."

Hot Spring Country, Konoha Camp 1st Camp.

In terms of how to build a camp, if all the ninjas gather together, they may be wiped out in one fell swoop like last time, and if they build camps separately, they may be defeated one by one. There is no perfect solution.

After weighing the two options, Danzo Shimura decided to establish three separate camps to support each other.

In the command room, Danzo Shimura and a dozen jonin gathered together.

One of the jonins of the same clan as him stepped forward and reported: "Master Danzo, in the battles these days, Kumogakure has not sent out any powerful ninjas. The strongest is only an elite jonin. And according to the information from the spies we sent to Kumogakure Village, the Raikage has not left the village..."

After listening to his subordinates' report, Danzo Shimura showed a faint smile on his face.

My guess turned out to be correct. In order to guard against sneak attacks from other ninja villages, Yukito did not dare to leave the Land of Lightning easily.

Then there is no need to arrange someone to restrain her...

Without her, who among the people sent by Yunyin is strong enough to be my enemy?

Steady, steady.

I take all the credit for this.

Putting away the smile on his face, Danzo Shimura glanced at the jonin in the tent one by one.

Except for the jonin from the Uchiha, Hyuga, Inuzuka, Ino-Shika-cho, Aburame, Shimura and other families, the rest are civilian jonin.

The patriarchs of several major families did not show up. The ones who most worthy of his attention were the three young jonin who were in the limelight.

Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, and Uchiha Shisui.

These three people, all in their teens, are extremely powerful and are the leaders of the new generation, as well as idols of many ninjas.

Although the other jonin in the tent are older, they are only more experienced. In terms of fame, they may not be able to compare with Kakashi and Shisui.

Although Might Guy is not as famous as the other two, he is also a potential stock.

Danzo Shimura was silently thinking about how to arrange these three people.

Kakashi, Hiruzen is here to atone for his sins, so there is nothing to worry about. Let him be the forward and do his best...

Might Guy, a fool, joins the battlefield support team...

Uchiha Shisui volunteered to come along so that he wouldn't stand out too much, so he was in charge of guarding the camp...

Chapter 23 Hello, Konoha

At the same time, Cloud Hidden Camp.

Kakuzu, Scorpion, and Orochimaru entered the command room wearing Akatsuki robes with black background and red clouds.

Dodai was surprised to see Orochimaru.

He couldn't figure out where the organization came from, and why someone as ambitious as Orochimaru was willing to work for it.

"Snake-kun, long time no see."

"Long time no see."

Dodai is a jonin of the Hidden Cloud Village and a senior official of the village. He has been assisting the Raikage since the time of the Third Raikage. He has a wealth of experience and is familiar with many ninjas in the ninja world.

He knew Kakuzu.

A long-lived and money-hungry S-rank rebel ninja from Takiguni Village, well-known in the underground bounty house, it was not surprising for him to become a member of an organization, such a person could work for anyone as long as the benefits were enough.

Apart from Orochimaru and Kakuzu, he couldn't recognize the other person wearing the Akatsuki uniform.

"What's this person's name?" Tutai asked in the direction of the Red Sand Scorpion.

"Scorpion." The Red Sand Scorpion inside the Feiliu Amber puppet made a hoarse and unpleasant sound.

"Oh, it's Mr. Scorpion."

Dodai said this politely, not associating him at all with the rebel ninja of the Sand Village, Scorpion of the Red Sand.

"Lord Raikage's intention is to capture the middle-level ninjas, and as for Konoha's upper-level elite ninjas, try to annihilate them. I hope you can cooperate..." Tsuchiya revealed part of the plan.

Kakuzu nodded and said, "Scorpion and I will assist you, and Orochimaru will help you guard the prisoners."

"After all, Konoha is his old home, Orochimaru might not be able to do it." Scorpion of the Red Sand on the side didn't care about Orochimaru's face at all and ridiculed him unscrupulously.

"Hehe." Orochimaru showed a weird smile on his face, and he didn't show any sign of being angry.

Dodai turned his gaze to Scorpion of the Red Sand, and he became even more curious about who this person was.

Anyone who has the courage to challenge Orochimaru must at least be as powerful as him and should not be an unknown person.

After thinking hard for a long time, Tutai still couldn't remember any information about the hunchbacked, ugly man with a weird hairstyle and only half of his face exposed.

He had no choice but to give up.

After the Akatsuki members left, Dodai called his men and ordered them to work immediately to build the broadcasting studio and ensure that the broadcast could be heard by the people of Konoha.

At night, the sky was dotted with stars and a few dim lights were on in the Konoha camp.

Except for the ninjas who were on night watch, everyone else fell into a light sleep.

"can you hear?"

Suddenly, a faint and rough voice came from a certain direction, mixed with a hint of subtle electronic sound.

The silence of the night was broken, and the ninjas on guard immediately became alert.

In addition to them, many ninjas who were more vigilant were also awakened and woke up their companions.

"What was the sound just now?"

"Is it an enemy attack?"

The ninjas walked out of their accommodations and a small commotion broke out in the Konoha camp.

"That voice seemed to come from the Cloud Ninja side."

"I heard it too. This should be the broadcast sound..."

"What do they want to do?"

"Could it be that the Cloud Ninjas want to do this every night to disturb us?" one person guessed with a strange look on his face.

"Are they planning to play dirty and engage in psychological warfare?"

"I'm going to destroy their speakers right now." someone shouted excitedly.

"Everyone calm down." Danzo Shimura walked out of his room.

"This is obviously a conspiracy of the Cloud Hidden Clan. Maybe they are lying in ambush there and waiting for us to attack. If anyone is fooled, they will never come back!"

"Do what you need to do, stay alert, and prepare for the next battle!"

Although he didn't know what the Cloud Ninjas were up to, he absolutely could not be led by the nose.

The facts were similar to what Danzo Shimura thought. After the audition, the Cloud Ninjas lay in ambush, waiting for the Konoha ninjas to come and investigate.

But nothing happened, and the ninjas from both sides were wary of each other all night.

After that night, no more sound was heard from the Konoha camp, which for a time made the Konoha ninjas unable to figure out what the Cloud ninjas were up to.

The struggle on the battlefield continues.

Danzo Shimura led half of the ninjas, including Kakashi, to the front battlefield.

As a helper invited by the Hidden Cloud Village, Kakuzu was also very active.

Although he was proficient in the five-attribute ninjutsu and had not used all of his masked clones, he was like a bomber on this battlefield, causing heavy casualties wherever he passed.

Danzo Shimura was very troubled by this sudden appearance of Kage-level master.

He originally thought that it would be enough to deal with Tutai alone, but he didn't expect that there would be a being whose fighting power far exceeded that of others.

Although the other Konoha jonin were also very brave, they were still far behind in terms of strength and experience.

Looking at the familiar Akatsuki uniform on Kakuzu, Danzo Shimura had some guesses in his mind.

"Could it be that that organization has revived?"

Outside the front battlefield, after figuring out the route the Cloud Ninjas used to transport food and fodder, he sent a small team of ninjas to destroy the food route and steal the food.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.

Food has always been the top priority in war. Dodai guessed that Konoha would launch a surprise attack, so he arranged Scorpion to ambush on the food route.

With the presence of these powerful men who can reverse the situation on the battlefield, Tutai can spare no effort to implement his ideas and make plans.

The eight Konoha ninjas came with full confidence, but before they could launch an attack, the puppets controlled by Scorpion of the Red Sand immediately swung their swords at them.

Several people were exposed on the spot.

The six Cloud Ninjas, Scorpion of the Red Sand and his puppet army, who were well prepared, surrounded them directly.

"Under the orders of Lord Dodai, the elite ninjas of Konoha are to be killed immediately, and the others captured alive."

Two Genin? They were worthless. They were killed by the Kumo Ninjas one after another.

Jonin? Excellent ninja who must be killed to weaken Konoha.

This person was killed directly by the Red Sand Scorpion...

Let’s keep these four Chunins for now.

Hmm? There's another special jonin?

"Special Jonin? Is he strong or not?" The Cloud Ninjas slowly approached the special Jonin of Konoha.

"Hey, guy, do you want to die or live?" They had evil smiles on their faces.

"Don't even think about getting anything from me." Realizing that he couldn't escape, the special jonin was very decisive. He smashed his own head and died on the spot.

"Tsk, should we call it loyalty or stupidity..." The Cloud Ninjas sighed a few times and returned to the camp with the four Chunins who were seriously injured and could hardly control their bodies.

Where Dodai led his team to fight, a Kumo-nin jonin approached him and whispered, "Master Dodai, Mr. Scorpion and his team have returned with the spoils."

Glancing at the Konoha ninja, he ordered his subordinates, "Retreat."

Except for him and Kakuzu, the other Kumo ninjas retreated while holding their weapons and keeping alert.

Dodai and Kakuzu were the last to leave.

Not far away, Danzo Shimura frowned and could only watch them go away.

This group of Cloud Ninjas didn't seem to want to fight with all their might. Could it be that they were waiting for reinforcements...

Among the corpses lying on the ground, there were obviously more people wearing Konoha forehead protectors than those wearing Cloud Ninja forehead protectors. Looking at this scene, Danzo Shimura had mixed feelings.

Such a slap in the face...

Chapter 24 Arrival at the Camp

After the battle, the number of Konoha ninjas killed and wounded was greater than that of the Cloud ninjas, just because a strong man whose background was unknown appeared on the battlefield.

The morale of Konoha was inevitably hit.

Danzo Shimura took the trouble to figure out the identity of this powerful man.

The traitor ninja of Takigakure, bounty hunter, Kakuzu.

But unfortunately, in addition to Kakuzu's life experience, there are also the ninjutsu he used on the battlefield.

He got no other useful information.

In short, he didn't find Kakuzu's weakness and couldn't think of a way to deal with Kakuzu for the time being.

This is normal. For Kakuzu, helping Kumogakure deal with Konoha is just a task. There is no need to fight to the death, nor is there any need to expose his own trump card.

Neither Konoha nor Kumogakure knew about his five hearts and five lives.

"Are we going to ask Hiruzen for help so soon?"
