When you are in Naruto, the era of live streaming for all has begun!

[Hanzo the Salamander: I'm not in the mood for nonsense right now. If you have something to say, just say it, or I'll make you pay a heavy price...]

[Shimura Danzo: Sigh~ Fine, I'll just explain it to you like this!]

Back then, I deliberately orchestrated this, having my subordinates impersonate ninjas from other villages to intercept and kill Yahiko and his two companions!

Its purpose is to weaken the Akatsuki's fighting force!

[Hanzo the Salamander: To weaken the Akatsuki's fighting force? Why? Why are you doing this? Did the Akatsuki offend you?]

Hanzo the Salamander looked completely bewildered!

He didn't know why Danzo was doing this.

The Akatsuki is a powerful organization operating within the territory of Amegakure!

Their fighting force has absolutely nothing to do with Konoha Village!

Why would Danzo travel all the way to Amegakure to intercept and kill the three leaders of his organization?

and also……

Go ahead and try to intercept me!

But why would they impersonate people from other ninja villages to ambush them?

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Yes, Danzo. Akatsuki is a powerful organization based in Amegakure. Why would you want to weaken their forces for no reason?]

Just like Hanzo the Salamander!

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't understand why Danzo would do such a thing.

Are you bored?

Obviously not!

Dankozo is a shrewd and calculating guy!

Everything he did!

It will definitely not be a wasted effort!

Moreover, he would never waste his energy on things that bring him no benefit whatsoever!

As Shimura Danzo's old partner and rival!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was a master of this art!

[Shimura Danzo: Sarutobi, are you senile? Amegakure once waged a war against our Konoha, and Akatsuki is their village's ninja force!]

At that time, I learned that Hanzo the Salamander seemed to have a high opinion of that organization!

They even had the intention of cultivating that organization!

How could I, an old man, stand by and watch him continue to grow stronger?

Danzo Shimura spoke eloquently, appearing to be acting entirely for the sake of Konoha!

This left Hiruzen Sarutobi speechless for a moment!

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Danzo, you mean you're worried that the Akatsuki organization will continue to grow stronger and then combine with Hanzo of the Salamander's forces to form an even larger ninja power, is that right?]

Hiruzen Sarutobi, as expected of Danzo Shimura's old partner, immediately understood the meaning behind Danzo's words!

[Shimura Danzo: That's right. Amegakure was growing stronger under the leadership of Hanzo the Salamander at that time. If I hadn't stopped it...]

It could pose a threat to our Konoha Village!

To prevent this from happening!

That's why I traveled thousands of miles to the Land of Rain to secretly lay the groundwork!

I never imagined that our ambush would lead us to the legendary Eye of Reincarnation!

Chapter 677: Actually, Konoha Village wasn't as powerful as you imagine back then! (Begging for full subscription)

Although Shimura Danzo's words sounded extremely sinister!

Some of them were even despicable and shameless!

But it still gained the approval of quite a few dead ghost ninjas!

Especially those guys who hold high positions in the five great ninja villages!

For nothing else.

Because they think!

If I were in Shimura Danzo's position!

Perhaps he will do something like Danzo Shimura!

Yes!

They also didn't want to watch a ninja village weaker than themselves gradually grow stronger!

Because that would affect the status of the five great ninja villages in the ninja world!

Kondo Mumo: Danzo, you were a bit cruel back then!

But I must say, Konoha Village is made possible by people like you!

That's why they were able to gain a foothold in the ninja world!

[Hozuki Gengetsu: It's not just Konoha Village, if the Akatsuki organization really had such a rapid growth momentum back then!]

If Danzo doesn't take measures to stop it!

The ninja world has probably already become the six great ninja villages!

Instead of the Five Great Ninja Villages!

[Yagura Karatachi: The Second Hokage is right!]

Our five great ninja nations are already enough to keep each other in check!

If there were another Rain Country!

This balance is very likely to be broken as a result!

It could even trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War!

[Biwa Juzo: So, Danzo's choice to use despicable methods against Yahiko and the others back then was actually the right one?]

[Kondo Mune: I wouldn't say it's entirely correct, but if it were me, upon learning that a powerful organization in the Land of Rain was influencing the current power structure of the ninja world, I might have made the same choice as Danzo!]

[Hozuki Gengetsu: That's right, I would choose the same thing!]

Actually, this has nothing to do with whether it's cruel or not!

The only thing to blame is their differing perspectives!

[Rasa: Yes, the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage are both right!]

After all, the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire had fought a war back then!

What if the Rain Kingdom becomes powerful!

They have begun to engage in political provocations against the Land of Fire!

With the strength of the Land of Fire back then!

They might not even be able to handle the Land of Rain!

[Juzo Biwa: No way? The Fourth Kazekage... The Land of Fire was one of the Five Great Shinobi Nations back then!]

Back then, the Land of Fire had more than just the legendary Sannin of Konoha!

There are also some well-known elite ninjas such as the Yellow Flash of the ninja world, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Konoha's White Fang Sakumo Hatake, and Sarutobi Asuma, who guarded the Twelve Ninja!

In addition, the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura were also in their prime!

Konoha Village was at its peak at that time!

Logically speaking, even if Konoha wasn't the strongest of the five great ninja villages at the time!

It can also be ranked in the top three!

How could they possibly be unable to deal with a mere Rain Country?

"I asked, looking completely bewildered."

As far as he knows!

The overall fighting strength of Konoha Village at that time should have been quite strong!

It has many elite ninjas!

There are probably more than five fingers' worth of Kage-level ninjas!

Such a powerful ninja village!

How could they possibly fear a mere small ninja village like Amegakure?

Although Amegakure had Hanzo the Salamander, a demigod of the ninja world, in charge back then!

However, the only one who can fight in Amegakure is Hanzo the Salamander!

There are almost no other elite ninjas who can serve as the backbone of the organization!

To know.

One with only top-tier combat power!

However, there is no ninja village with any elite ninja who can stand alone!

It can't even be considered a powerful ninja village!

however!

Facing the doubts of Pipa Juzo!

Luo Sha couldn't help but laugh!

[Rasa: Hehe~ Maybe your Hidden Mist Village is too far away, so you don't know about the changes that happened in the Hidden Leaf Village back then?]

No wonder you think that way...

[Loquat Juzo: Fourth Kazekage, what do you mean by that?]

[Rasa: What I mean is... the Hidden Leaf Village back then wasn't nearly as powerful as you imagine!]

[Juzo Biwa: Konoha isn't as strong as I imagined? Fourth Kazekage, I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me...]

[Luo Sha: Don't worry, I, Luo Sha, have never lied to anyone in my life!]

[Loquat Juzo: Can you explain the specific reasons?]

Why wasn't Konoha Village as powerful as I had imagined back then?
