Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

January 38, Konoha 11.

This day is the day when Li Yao traveled to the world of Naruto, and it is also the day when the alliance delegation from the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning arrived in Konoha.

Facing the alliance proposal proactively proposed by the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning, one of the five major countries, Konoha expressed sufficient attention to it.

The Third Hokage took the initiative to welcome the alliance delegation from the Hidden Cloud Village at the main gate of Konoha.

But aren’t there too many people in this alliance delegation?

Looking at the approaching delegation of up to thirty people, Sandai felt a little uneasy.

Generally speaking, the number of envoys sent to other ninja villages would not exceed ten people, and would usually be four or five people.

Thirty people from the Kumogakure Alliance delegation came at once?

The Third Generation had a bad feeling that the Hidden Cloud Village's initiative to seek an alliance this time might not be as simple as he imagined.

But he still hopes that the alliance can be negotiated.

If Konoha could really form an alliance with Kumogakure, the pressure of war would instantly be much less.

So, is Yunyin really here to discuss an alliance?

After entering Konoha with the Third Hokage, facing the Third Hokage's vague hint of alliance negotiations, the Kumogakure alliance delegation did not show any intention of rushing to form an alliance. Instead, they delayed the time of the alliance negotiations on the grounds that they did not know enough about Konoha.

They said that they would not start alliance negotiations until they were sure that Konoha was a trustworthy ally, and they would not make any decision before that.

"How do you want to learn about Konoha?"

The Third Hokage frowned slightly. As a former enemy, he didn't believe that the Hidden Cloud Village didn't know about the situation in Konoha.

The representative of the Cloud Village Alliance smiled and said, "We have heard that Konoha is a peace-loving ninja village, so we want to live here for a while and see for ourselves whether this rumor is true."

I won’t believe you... The third generation’s eyes flickered slightly, thinking that Yunyin really came with bad intentions.

"Yes, but the time cannot exceed half a month."

Even though the Third Generation knew that there must be something wrong with Kumogakure, he had to admit it.

But there must be a time limit, and the people from Kumogakure cannot be allowed to spy on Konoha's intelligence openly.

Moreover, they had to secretly send people to monitor the members of the Kumogakure Alliance delegation.

However, the people sent to monitor cannot be from the Anbu or the Root.

Otherwise it would be easy for the people from the Cloud Hidden Village delegation to find an excuse to oppose the alliance.

After much thought, the Third Hokage could only entrust the task of monitoring the Kumogakure alliance delegation to the Konoha Guard Department led by the Uchiha clan.

The Konoha Guard itself has the responsibility to protect the safety of Konoha.

The Uchiha clan ninjas from the Konoha Guard were asked to monitor the delegation on the pretext of protecting it. Even though the people from the Kumogakure Alliance delegation knew it was a surveillance mission, they had nothing to say and could not refuse.

Although the Uchiha clan was very unfriendly to the third generation.

But the Third Generation still believed that even the radical faction of the Uchiha clan was united with him in facing foreign enemies, and would not give in or let the Hidden Cloud Envoy do anything that would be detrimental to Konoha.

And even if something unexpected happened, with him, Lord Mito, and the Sarutobi clan's elite ninja army around, the Third Generation would not be afraid of any problems caused by the Hidden Cloud Clan.

Unfortunately, the third generation made a mistake.

He didn't know the real purpose of the Cloud Alliance delegation coming to Konoha, and that the radical faction of the Uchiha clan was more confident and radical than he had imagined.

Many things that the Third Hokage thought would harm Konoha were actually extremely beneficial to both Konoha and the Uchiha clan in the eyes of the radical Uchiha clan.

Different views and opinions on one thing destined that what the Hidden Cloud Village did in Konoha this time would not be that simple.

three days later.

Although Yunyin tried its best to escape the surveillance of the Uchiha clan's guard department and operated secretly.

But in the end, the Uchiha clan, who had been following and monitoring the Kumogakure alliance delegation, discovered the purpose of the Kumogakure delegation's trip to Konoha.

There's nothing we can do, after all, this is Konoha's territory.

They were facing a ninja who had the Sharingan that could directly see chakra, so it was very difficult to get rid of the Uchiha clan's ninja.

The Cloud Village Alliance delegation was already excellent enough, and it took them three days to discover their purpose by the Uchiha clan.

And they were lucky to find that their target was the radical ninja within the Uchiha clan.

The radical faction of the Uchiha clan did not pass on the news that the Kumogakure delegation was inquiring about the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Shinkuna, but instead controlled it and only spread it among the top radical faction.

In the entire ninja world, apart from the Uzumaki clan who are proficient in sealing techniques and possess huge chakra constitution, which other clan is suitable and able to seal the Nine-Tails and not have their minds affected by its chakra?

That must be the Uchiha clan.

Although the Uchiha clan does not have the huge amount of chakra of the Uzumaki clan, their chakra amount is also unmatched by ordinary ninja clans.

Their chakra is enough to seal the Nine-Tails.

After all, they are a ninja clan that has been able to fight the Senju clan, which is famous for its large amount of chakra, for hundreds of years without losing the upper hand. How could their chakra amount be ordinary?

It’s just that they can’t compare with the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan.

In terms of chakra amount, the Uchiha clan is not bad.

Coupled with the Sharingan's mysterious eye chakra, they are not afraid of the Nine-Tails' chakra filled with hatred and evil.

Because the Sharingan's eye power chakra is more evil and hateful than the Nine-Tails' chakra.

In this way, the sealing technique can be used together.

The Uchiha clan can definitely become the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and firmly grasp the Nine-Tails, the Hokage's exclusive killing weapon, in their hands.

For Konoha, in a sense, the Nine-Tails has become a symbol of power for the Hokage and has always been in the hands of the Hokage faction.

If the Uchiha clan could control the Nine-Tails, it would give some ninjas in the village the illusion that the next Hokage after the third generation would be a member of the Uchiha clan.

This illusion is very important and the radical Uchiha clan needs it very much.

And with the Nine-Tails, the Uchiha clan's power will surpass the Third Hokage and the forces behind him.

By then, he will have both strength, prestige and reputation, and the position of Hokage will be within his grasp.

The Cloud Village wanted to kidnap Uzumaki Shinkuna to study Shinkuna's special sealing technique, chakra physique, and to cut off Konoha's plan to have the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's successor, which just happened to cater to the ideas of the radical Uchiha clan.

This is an opportunity!

An opportunity for the Uchiha clan to control the Nine-Tails.

The radical Uchiha clan realized it.

They immediately took action and performed an accidental drunken chat, revealing that on the last night of every month, Uzumaki Mito would spend three hours in the secret room to reinforce the Nine-Tails Sealing Ritual.

During this period, Uzumaki Mito's full concentration will be on strengthening the seal on the Nine-Tails, and his chakra perception ability will also be blocked by the various sealing techniques in the secret room.

At that time, the Senju clan's territory will be at its weakest defense.

And because Uzumaki Shinkuna is an outsider, although she lives in the Senju clan's territory, she is on the edge.

As long as Kumogakure acts fast enough, with their cooperation, they can safely bring Uzumaki Shinkunai out of the village.

As long as he leaves the village, and with the Hidden Cloud Village making trouble and cooperating in Konoha, it seems that Xin Kuna will definitely not have the chance to return to Konoha.

In this case, once Uzumaki Mito dies and the Nine-Tails is free, who can control the rioting Nine-Tails?

Only the Uchiha.

Only the Uchiha clan's Sharingan can calm the Nine-Tails down and seal it away.

By then, they will be the heroes of Konoha.

Let’s see who still objects to the Uchiha clan taking the position of Hokage.

Thinking of the benefits that would come from Kuna being kidnapped, all the radical members of the Uchiha clan were excited.

Therefore, with the help of the radical Uchiha clan to cover up, it was easier for the Kumogakure delegation to act.

All the information about Uzumaki Shinkuna was soon known to the Kumogakure delegation.

A plan to capture Shin Kuna was quietly carried out with the tacit approval of the radical faction of the Uchiha clan.

Chapter 49: Escape from Konoha Village

soon.

The day of November 11th arrived.

night.

Staring at the clock on the wall, waiting for the time to come to eleven o'clock in the evening, when most of the villagers had fallen asleep, at the third-floor window of an izakaya two hundred meters away from the inn where the Kumogakure Alliance delegation was staying.

Three Kumogakure ninjas who had "intentionally" avoided the Uchiha clan's surveillance during the day quietly sneaked out and headed towards where Shin Kuna lived.

at the same time.

Root Base, Laboratory Zero.

Li Yao, who had been floating in the nutrient solution with his eyes closed in the glass cabin, opened his eyes and his curled up floating body stretched out.

Bang...clang, clang!

Eight black chakra chains suddenly shot out from Li Yao's back, shattering the transparent glass cabin. Four of the chains fell to the ground, propping up Li Yao's body in mid-air.

Just at the moment the glass cabin shattered, the seal connecting the glass cabin to the underground broke, sending out some kind of signal.

The sealing spell left by the heart Danzo in Li Yao's body heated up for a moment, and then was instantly wiped out by Li Yao.

The sealing technique was erased for a moment.

Thousands of miles away in the Rain Country, Danzo, who was traveling in the rain, suddenly had a changed expression and quickly stopped.

He stretched out his burning right hand and spread it out. A black pattern of the reverse five elements sealing technique appeared in the palm of his hand, and then quickly dissipated.

"The reverse five elements seal has been lifted!"

"Who did it?"

"Could it be Hiruzen?"

Danzo's face was gloomy. He didn't think that Li Yao had lifted the seal himself.

Because even if Li Yaozhen obtained the physique of Wood Release and awakened Wood Release, it would be impossible to remove his anti-five elements seal.

Then there is only one possibility.

The anti-five elements seal he left in Li Yao's heart was unlocked by an outsider.

This person doesn't matter if it's Hiruzen or anyone else.

Danzo knew that there was a problem with the Root and there was also a problem with his Wood Release experimental subject.

"No, we must not let Li Yao fall into the hands of others. At least that kid can't die now."

Before Danzo obtained Wood Release, he would never allow anyone to kill Li Yao, not even Hiruzen. He had to go back quickly to see what went wrong.

Then... Danzo simply abandoned the ninja army of the Rain Country and ran away.

All that was left was the ambiguous words "retreat" and a group of stunned front-line commanders.

No?

Even if you, Danzo, have something urgent to do and need to return to Konoha, you should at least arrange someone to temporarily command the front-line corps.

Even though you have run away, the command is still in your hands.

Then they just said "retreat and defend". How can they retreat? How can they defend?

It would be fine if nothing happened, but if something happened, who is responsible?

Everyone was shocked by Danzo's sudden and outrageous action.

However, while they were shocked, they also felt secretly heavy in their hearts.

I don’t know what happened in Konoha that made Danzo so desperate to return to Konoha as soon as possible.

For a time, the top leaders in the Rain Country who could not get any news from Konoha in a short period of time became panic-stricken, and the battles with the other three ninja villages decreased.

The other three ninja villages sensed something was wrong with the Konoha ninjas. Not knowing why, they secretly withdrew their troops to guard against a possible surprise attack from Konoha.

Li Yao, who was responsible for all this, felt the seal on his heart dissipate. He smiled slightly and floated out of the glass cabin.

Eight black chakra chains, four of which were like spider legs, supported Li Yao's body standing in the air.

Li Yao now looks a lot like Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man. His eight black chakra chains are eight mechanical tentacles that can be controlled at will.
