Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

The civil strife and the war with Kumogakure caused the Sand Village to lose many ninjas. Now the Sand Village does not have the ability to compete head-on with Konoha.

Luo Sha's idea is to pay more attention to Konoha and see if he can take advantage of any opportunity.

……

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

In the meeting room of the Raikage Building.

Although they were both meetings, the content of the Kumogakure meeting was somewhat different from that of the Kirigakure meeting.

"Konoha has always been wary of us. Since the war, it has often sent a large number of ninjas to guard the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Springs. This time, we can go to the Land of Fields by sea first, and then enter the Land of Fire from the Land of Fields."

Tully excitedly talked about his raid plan.

That’s right, Yunyin not only decided to take action, but was even discussing the specific battle plan.

"Although this way of marching will take more time, it is indeed more difficult to be discovered." Tutai nodded with a look of approval.

The Land of Grass borders the Land of Hot Spring. If you enter the Land of Grass from the Land of Hot Spring, you will most likely be discovered by the Konoha ninjas from the Land of Hot Spring.

"Before the troops of the Land of Rice officially attack, we can send some teams to operate in the Land of Hot Springs to give the Konoha ninjas the illusion that we are still preparing to attack the Land of Hot Springs." Tsuchida continued.

The Yunyin in the conference room all vied with each other to express their ideas, and soon the general framework of the attack plan was completed.

"You will lead the team this time." The Third Raikage said to the Fourth Raikage Ai who was sitting on his left.

The battlefield is dangerous, but it is also the most challenging place.

"Yes, Lord Sandaime." The Fourth Ai replied with a serious face.

Although they are father and son, this is a meeting and they have to refer to each other by their titles.

"If we compete, should I let him continue to practice in the village, or carry out the mission with me?" The fourth generation Ai thought of something and asked.

He himself did not have much feeling about going to the battlefield. Although he was the son of the Third Raikage, the Fourth Raikage had never been spoiled since he was a child, and it was common for him to go to the battlefield and do dangerous missions.

However, Kirabi’s situation is special now, and the Fourth Generation Ai doesn’t know how to deal with it.

"Let's go together, and remember to protect your brothers." The Third Raikage said in a deep voice.

Killer Bee has not yet fully mastered the power of the Eight-Tails, so it would be better for him to practice in the Hidden Cloud Village.

However, the Third Raikage felt that it would be easier to make progress by accumulating experience on the battlefield rather than practicing alone.

Anyway, even if something unexpected happens, he can cover it. At worst, he can just do it himself.

"I will." The fourth generation Ai nodded seriously.

Kirabi is not his biological brother, but as they get along better, their relationship is even better than that of most blood-related brothers.

……

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.

"Teacher, Danzo..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the familiar ceiling in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turned out to be a dream."

Perhaps it was because he was busy too late for Shimura Danzo yesterday, causing his mind to be full of Shimura Danzo. Sarutobi Hiruzen not only had a rare dream, but it was also a dream about Shimura Danzo.

In the dream, it was Danzo Shimura who first offered to be the bait, and then Tobirama Senju agreed immediately.

How could Sarutobi Hiruzen watch his brother die alone, so he quickly offered to be the bait, but was rejected by Senju Tobirama.

In the end, Senju Tobirama said that Shimura Danzo was not strong enough, and then he and Shimura Danzo went to be bait...

"Because both the teacher and Danzo died." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and stopped thinking about this strange dream.

Sarutobi Hiruzen first finished washing up, then had breakfast as usual and went to the Hokage building to work and handle affairs.

He has already asked the Anbu to investigate the matter of Shimura Danzo, so there is no need for him to go to the Root office to investigate in person, as that would be irresponsible to Konoha.

However, when Sarutobi Hiruzen was dealing with Konoha's affairs, he occasionally couldn't help but think about the death of Danzo Shimura.

After all, Danzo Shimura is his good friend with whom he has known for decades.

"I hope the Anbu can find clues soon." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart.

If "Uchiha Madara" was not involved, perhaps Sarutobi Hiruzen would not care about anything and directly send ninjas to assassinate Sosuke to avenge his old friend.

But now even "Uchiha Madara" has shown up, and Sarutobi Hiruzen always feels that he will be used as a gun if he doesn't investigate it thoroughly.

The safety of the village is above all else, and Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot act rashly when the situation is unclear.

"Sama Sandaime, the intelligence has been sorted out, and new discoveries have been made in several secret rooms." In the afternoon, the Anbu entered the Hokage's office and reported.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was instantly cheered up.

Chapter 619: Bad News Coming One After Another

"We found some secret scrolls. According to the contents, it seems that Danzo-sama is collaborating with an unknown force and the Rain Village to kill Sosuke."

While reporting, the Anbu ninja handed the scroll he had searched for to Sarutobi Hiruzen with both hands.

"Unknown force... Could it be related to Uchiha Madara?" Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly thought of Uchiha Madara, but his expression remained expressionless.

Before the investigation is thorough, information about "Uchiha Madara" cannot be leaked, otherwise it will cause conflicts.

The Uchiha clan already has a history of coups, and now the death of Danzo Shimura is inexplicably related to the name "Uchiha Madara".

Not to mention those ninjas who were already prejudiced against the Uchiha clan, even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but have some doubts about the Uchiha clan.

He did not think that there was a problem with the entire Uchiha clan, but believed that there was a high possibility that there was the power of "Uchiha Madara" within the Uchiha clan.

For the harmony and stability of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want anyone else to know this information, including the other two Konoha high-ranking officials.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the scroll and instantly recognized that it was the handwriting of Shimura Danzo. It was a secret scroll written by Shimura Danzo himself.

Sarutobi Hiruzen carefully read the entire scroll, then nodded and asked the Anbu to leave.

There is very little information about unknown forces, and no words related to "Uchiha Madara" appear. It mainly contains some arrangements made by Danzo Shimura for the siege and killing of Sosuke.

Before finding Sarutobi Hiruzen, the cautious Mu Yue had already conducted a comprehensive investigation. Everything Sarutobi Hiruzen knew was what Mu Yue wanted him to know.

For example, the one who said he would help Shimura Danzo obtain the scroll of Wood Release was dealt with by Mu Yue immediately.

"untie!"

When there was no one in the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen concentrated his chakra and formed hand seals, and the words on the scroll twisted and changed rapidly.

To outsiders, this was just an ordinary secret scroll, but after reading it carefully, Sarutobi Hiruzen, a decades-old friend of Danzo Shimura, discovered different information in it.

"Huruzen, if you saw this secret scroll, I would have been killed." This was the first sentence that Sarutobi Hiruzen saw.

"Sigh." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply.

If Danzo Shimura had not died, he would not have been able to discover the secret scroll. After all, if Danzo Shimura was alive, he would not have been able to let the Anbu search the Root thoroughly.

"This operation is extremely dangerous. Even though I am well prepared, there is still a risk of death. But I have to go. If it succeeds, Konoha will have one less major hidden danger, and I will also be able to find out some details about Uchiha Madara."

When he saw the words "Uchiha Madara", Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes focused.

"Uchiha Madara is extremely powerful. He can freely enter and exit even the most secretive places of the Root, and he also has considerable influence in the ninja world."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised. It turned out that "Uchiha Madara" was still in Konoha discussing cooperation with Shimura Danzo?

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. The defense of the Anbu was not much stronger than that of the Root. If Uchiha Madara could enter and exit the Root at will, then he could come and go freely in the Anbu.

"How did he get past the great barrier?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked unhappy.

The entire Konoha is shrouded in a huge barrier. No matter whether you enter through the gate, drill through the ground, or fly down from the sky, you should be discovered by the big barrier.

"The Uchiha clan is not trustworthy, and Uchiha Madara is definitely related to them."

Sarutobi Hiruzen could feel Shimura Danzo's suspicion of Uchiha just from the handwriting, which is why he wanted to prevent information from leaking.

This information is not conducive to unity.

"Uchiha Madara can kill even a well-prepared me, so he must be plotting something bad against Konoha. We must keep a close eye on Utatane Koharu, Mitomon En, and Orochimaru to prevent Uchiha Madara from using them to destroy Konoha."

"Huruzen, protect Konoha."

At this point, the content of the scroll comes to an end.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his wrinkled forehead. He could feel the threat of "Uchiha Madara" from the words of Shimura Danzo.

However, Danzo Shimura himself did not know much about "Uchiha Madara", and naturally there was not much accurate information about "Uchiha Madara" in the scroll. Most of it was speculation based on the current situation.

"Besides, Danzo, you are too arrogant." Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little helpless.

According to Mu Yue's information, Danzo Shimura was killed by Sosuke, and in this scroll, Danzo Shimura believed that if he died, it must be a trick played by Uchiha Madara.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment, put away the scroll, called the Anbu, and ordered: "Notify Mu Yue to come to the Hokage's office."

The Anbu nodded, walked out of the office, and quickly found Mu Yue, and took Mu Yue back to the Hokage's office.

"Sir Sandaime." Mu Yue said with respect. Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well last night or something, but there was a look of fatigue on his face that was hard to hide.

"Thank you for your hard work. You are still in class today after such a thing happened." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Although Mu Yue did not report Shimura Danzo's affairs immediately during this incident, Mu Yue's various performances and actions made Sarutobi Hiruzen even more satisfied with Mu Yue.

"It's just a few hours of classes, it won't have any impact, and you, Lord Sandaime, are still working, how can I stand still because of this?" Mu Yue said seriously.

"No wonder Danzo wanted to hand over the Root to you. When he first created the Root, he worked as hard as you do now." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

After a few pleasantries, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the scroll to Mu Yue.

Mu Yue is the only ninja in Konoha besides him who knows the existence of "Uchiha Madara", and he also has a special relationship with Danzo Shimura. Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that Mu Yue has the right to know.

Mu Yue was surprised after reading the scroll, "Uchiha Madara actually entered Konoha!"

Of course, he was pretending.

Mu Yue already knew the contents of this scroll.

His sealing skills have long surpassed Kushina's, and he also has extraordinary perception abilities such as the Byakugan that can see through the world. How could he not discover what Shimura Danzo had done to the scroll?

It’s just that because the hidden content of this scroll would not affect Mu Yue’s layout, he did not deal with it.

With Uchiha Madara attracting firepower, Konoha will not pay so much attention to the Ninja Clan.

Mu Yue could only say that Danzo Shimura was really cautious. Even if it was a secret scroll he wrote himself, he did not write down all the information because of the risk of exposure. He did not write anything about Wood Release and the Rinnegan, as if he only wanted to get rid of Sosuke.

This kind of person probably only becomes sincere when leaving his last words.

"Please describe in detail the scene you saw at that time. Was it really Sosuke who was the only one who killed Danzo?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Since Danzo Shimura is in the secret scroll, it is certain that his death is related to "Uchiha Madara". Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks that Sosuke may be related to "Uchiha Madara".

Maybe this incident was a conspiracy between Sosuke and Uchiha Madara.

"Only Sosuke and Lord Danzo are fighting. The others are far away and there are no signs of them taking action." Mu Yue nodded.

Danzo Shimura underestimated Sosuke and overestimated himself and Uchiha Madara.

"So..." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked thoughtful.

Shimura Danzo's speculation is just a guess, while the information provided by Mu Yue is reality, so of course we should base our guessing on Mu Yue's information.

However, according to Mu Yue's intelligence, many of Shimura Danzo's ideas had problems.

"It's time to recruit new members for your training team. It's not right to have only one member all the time." Suddenly Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of something and spoke.

"Although Shisui is young, he is a steady person and a good talent."

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that there was something wrong with the Uchiha, but at this critical juncture, if the Anbu openly investigated the Uchiha, something bad would happen, so he thought of a good idea, which was to use the Uchiha to defeat the Uchiha.

Mu Yue's two Uchiha disciples can be believed 100%. If Obito's personality was not suitable for staying in the Anbu, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be ready to let them both join the Anbu together.

"Shisui does have the talent to become an ANBU," Mu Yue replied with a nod.

He guessed Sarutobi Hiruzen's purpose, but this was not a bad thing for Shisui.

The Uchiha problem involves too many aspects, and it cannot be completely solved within the Uchiha clan alone. We must take into account both within the clan and outside the clan.

Mu Yue's idea is to use the training team as a springboard for Shisui to train Shisui's abilities and also to improve Shisui's resume.

Although both became ANBU, Shisui's situation was different from Itachi's.
