"Hokage-sama, this is a bounty order issued from Kusakure Village."

The Shadow Ninja appeared in the office of the Hokage Building with an instantaneous technique, and immediately put the intelligence document in his hand on the table in front of the three generations of Hokage Ape Tobi for him to see.

Hizai has already learned about the terrorist attack on Caoyin Village through the channels of the shadows, but there are still many doubts about it, among which is the question of why Caoyin Village was attacked and the identity of the attacker.

In the previous question, the Shadow Department had been sent to investigate secretly to find out the cause of the attack on Caoyin Village.

The latter question about the identity of the attacker, Hizai looked at the girl in the witch costume that appeared in the document, she was around sixteen years old, with an unfamiliar face, she was neither a ninja in the ninja village system, nor had she appeared in the underground black market before, and she was a girl in strange clothes whose identity was completely unknown.

Able to use the powerful Wind Escape Ninjutsu, it is the same as the three generations of Earth Shadow in Iwakuin Village, and has the ability to fly freely in the sky.

However, the three generations of Tsuchikage use Earth Escape, the secret of this witch costume girl's flight, it is not difficult to see that her flying ability should be in Feng Escape.

In addition to this strangely dressed shrine maiden, there is also a non-human, pitch-black beast that resembles a psychic beast.

It is small in size, about the size of a pet cat at home, and can use a ranged attack-type thunderbolt, which can cooperate with a flying shrine maiden to carry out a falling lightning attack from the sky.

It was this man and beast that made the large number of ninjas in Caoyin Village helpless and faceless.

Not long after the attack on Caoyin Village, the underground black market began to see a bounty on the man-and-beast.

Because of her special flying ninjutsu, she can also use a large-scale destructive wind escape ninjutsu, which is extremely dangerous, and her bounty is 55 million taels.

The young psychic beast with a pitch-black body had a bounty of fifteen million taels and a high bounty of 70 million taels.

Even if there is no need to investigate, I know that at this moment, the bounty hunters in the underground black market have begun to act, wanting to hunt the head of this man and beast and get the bounty of up to 70 million taels.

"Is the investigation into the cause of the attack on Caoyin Village clear?"

Hizashi asked the Shadow Ninja.

It is impossible for Caoyin Village to be attacked for no reason, whether it is the powerful ninjutsu being coveted, or indirectly offending someone, it is something that Hisashi is more concerned about.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, this matter is still under investigation, but I believe there will be a result soon."

"Is that so? Continuing to investigate, it is important to figure out the cause of the attack on Caoyin Village. ”

Hizashi felt that this was not an easy matter, and it was the first time that these small national ninja villages had been attacked head-on during the non-war period.

Even in a small country ninja village like Caoyin Village, its military strength is not something anyone can provoke.

What Hiza is worried about is that behind this, someone is remotely controlling behind the scenes.

"Yes."

The Shadow Ninja respectfully stepped aside.

After the Shadow Ninja stepped back, Hinata sank into his mind.

On the surface, this matter has nothing to do with Konoha, but the country of grass, where the village of grass is located, is extremely close to the country of fire, so it should be necessary to further investigate the attack on this village just in case.

Through this incident, he saw a ninja essence full of holes and undercurrents.

Since the last ninja war, although the situation in various countries is stable on the surface, it is very clear that the ninja villages of various countries are making peace on the surface, and they have been secretly accumulating strength.

Among them, the sand and cloud are the most.

Needless to say, the three generations of Thunder Shadows have inherited the martial arts ideas of the previous generations of Thunder Shadows, and under his leadership, Yunyin Village has always attached importance to the development of the military field.

In the last ninja war, although Yun Yin did not appear, Hiza has always been on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Soup, placing a ninja army in order to prevent the raid of Cloud Hidden Village. For the three generations of Thunder Shadow, who is known as the strongest shield spear, the day slash can be described as very fearful.

It is said that it is capable of hand-to-hand combat with tailed beasts with its physical body, which is truly appalling.

And the three generations of Sha Yin's wind shadow are the youngest of the five contemporary shadows, but they are ambitious, and their military development in recent years is not much better than that of Yunyin Village.

On the other hand, Konoha has disappeared from the Hyuga clan, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he is suspected of being attacked by the Fog Hidden Ninja and plundering his white eyes.

After the White Fang incident, the external deterrent effect declined.

The roots of the Uchiha and the group are like fire and water, which is an important reason why it is difficult for the high-level to negotiate with the Uchiha clan.

And whether it is to give up the Uchiha or give up the group collection, it is something that Hizaki does not want to see.

Without Danzo's roots, his shadows alone are not enough to counterbalance the powerful power of the Uchiha clan.

It is not surprising when this balance is broken that these forces maintain a stable balance between themselves.

The only thing to be commended for is that there has been great progress in medical education, and Tsunade has trained batch after batch of medical ninjas in the ninja school, and in terms of funds and benefits, he has spared no effort to provide for them.

Now that it has been officially put into the squad mode, the sacrifice rate of the Shangnin squad that has carried out tasks in the past two years has been greatly reduced.

And this attack on Caoyin Village is to reveal the fact that the undercurrent of the ninja world is surging, and the fig leaf of the surface peace of the ninja world has been torn apart.

Looking out the window, the tranquility is broken, how long can the peace last?

Hizashi looked at Konoha who was comfortable under the peace, and gradually felt powerless.

"Anyway, you're making too much noise this time, aren't you?"

That's what Ruri said to Shiraishi after he came back from a mission.

Such a big thing as the attack on Kusain Village has now completely spread among the countries of the ninja world.

In the attack, it is said that nearly dozens of ninjas were killed and hundreds were injured in the battle.

Although civilians were not affected, important facilities were blasted and reduced to nothing, and the damage was devastating.

"To be honest, I didn't expect the two of them to make such a big fuss. It's better to say that the two of them are stronger than I expected. ”

Shiraishi smiled helplessly, things in the plan are generally all kinds of accidents, resulting in inconsistencies that do not match expectations.

And whether this kind of accident is developing in a good or bad direction is difficult to control.

However, as far as this matter is concerned, although it has aroused the hostility of Caoyin Village, it also proves that the strength of the two clones of Tianyu Nu and Thunder Ming Pill should be developing in a better direction.

In the future, you need to break through the defense of the ninja village, and you can't use similar means to achieve your goals.

After all, the ability to fly is enough to give many ninjas a headache.

As far as Shiraishi knows, there are very few ninjas in the ninja world who have the ability to fly, and ninjutsu has a limited range, no matter what form of battle, occupying the sky is equivalent to occupying a natural advantage, which can be attacked and defended.

If they had fought the Grass Hidden Ninja on land at the beginning, then the Heavenly Feather Maiden and Thunder Pills would not have been so easy.

"The remnants of the Vortex Clan have basically been arranged, and now there are a total of forty-seven people who have migrated to the Ghost Country from all over the world. This is a very huge potential stock, and if each of their talents is unleashed, there is basically nothing to worry about on the Oni Country side. ”

Shiraishi made this judgment.

The general characteristics of this group of people are that they have chakra beyond ordinary people, and there is an extremely large vitality, which is quite compatible with the natural energy system, and there are many paths for future development, which can cultivate talents in many special fields for the organization.

"No matter what, be careful, the affairs of the Vortex Clan are very sensitive, and if someone finds out, it will easily attract some people's peeps."

"Of course I understand that. Don't worry, I've sent someone to arrange them to live in the underground space of the headquarters, and their usual training and life are basically solved there, eliminating the possibility of meeting outsiders. ”

What's more, there are a lot of perceptual ninjas and white-eyed ninjas in the headquarters, so there is no need to worry about detection and vigilance.

After the attack on Caoyin Village, Shiraishi also let Tianyu Nu and Thunder Ming Pill sit there, making up for the shortcomings of the high-end combat power over there.

It is believed that with the strength of the two of them, with the manpower at the headquarters, it is enough to deal with most emergencies.

And as time goes by, when the remnants of the Vortex Clan are cultivated into the backbone of the organization, there is no need to worry too much about their safety.

It is speculated that at that time, during the Great Ninja War, the attention of the five major powers was focused on the battlefield, and most of their attention would never be focused on a neutral country on the edge such as the Oni no Kuni.

Seeing that Baishi was so carefully arranged, Ruri didn't say anything to worry about.

It's just that this time the incident was so big that I couldn't help but remind Shiraishi of two sentences.

"One more thing, my body is used to this kind of bracelet, is there a higher-level limiter?"

Liuli took off the chakra restriction bracelet on his hand and threw it in front of Shiraishi, asking him to change to a pair of chakra limiters with stronger limiting ability.

"So fast?"

Bai Shi's face was slightly surprised, the first limiter, he remembered that it took Liuli more than half a month to overcome.

However, after the second limiter is worn, after pairing with the first limiter, the restraining force on the chakra directly doubles several times, according to Shiraishi's original prediction, it should take another month or two before Liuli can overcome the chakra binding force brought by the two limiters.

I didn't expect it to end so many days early.

"Probably because I've been practicing immortal art recently, and I feel like my writing wheel eye has come to an end, and further up, I can only develop towards the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye."

After cultivating the formed immortal arts, Liuli could feel that her pupil power had been further improved.

In the realm of the writing wheel eye of the three-hook jade state, she has come to the end.

If there is still undeveloped power in the writing wheel, it can only be a higher-level kaleidoscope writing wheel.

"Kaleidoscope writing wheels? That Legendary Eye? Speaking of which, does that really exist? ”

When Shiraishi heard Ruri talk about the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel, he couldn't help but think of the Uchiha family classics that Ruri had provided to him before, which recorded some things about the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel.

The supreme pupil technique in the legend of the Uchiha clan, but since the defeat of Madara Uchiha, the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye has completely become a stream of legends, and no one in the Uchiha clan has opened these legendary eyes.

"That's not a legend, I can feel that there is definitely a higher level of power above the ordinary writing wheel."

Ruri said affirmatively.

"But how do you turn it on?"

Shiraishi asked the key.

Whether the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye is a legend or a real pupil technique, but if it is not opened, it is the same as nothing.

Shiraishi doesn't know much about these eyes, and it's impossible for him to do human research on the ninjas of the writing wheels, otherwise he can analyze whether there is a stronger power hidden in the writing wheels.

"I think it may be the same as ordinary writing wheels, which need to be stimulated by strong emotions to open their eyes."

Because at the beginning, her writing wheel eye was promoted to the three-hooked jade form step by step.

And when it comes to the three-hook jade form, it is equivalent to reaching the end of the ordinary writing wheel eye.

If it was a year ago, Ruri wouldn't be sure that her writing wheel eye was the strongest among the Uchiha, but now she has absolute confidence that no one in her family can surpass her in the application of writing wheel eyes.

Soon after, Ruri left, and Shiraishi's face was silent.

There is no need to rush the chakra limiter, but the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye ......

Shiraishi couldn't help but think of the unknown origin of the Sharingan he met the previous year, and the ninja who could control that level of pupil power was by no means an unknown person in the ninja world.

Or, is that really the pupil power that a three-hook jade level writing wheel eye can control?

Even if he has now cultivated the immortal arts, his pupil power has surpassed the limit of the three-hook jade writing wheel, but in comparison with the two, Shiraishi still feels that the pupil power of the three-hook jade writing wheel eye is a step worse.

It seems that there are still many hidden secrets in the Uchiha clan.

Just as Shiraishi was about to return to the laboratory, General Earth emerged from the ground.

It took a scroll from its body and placed it in front of Shiraishi.

Shiraishi looked surprised, but he still picked up the scroll, opened it, and read the contents on it.

There is only one thing mentioned above –

Sha Yin and Iwain secretly purchased a large amount of medical supplies from the Aster Flower Company, and they are suspected of entering the stage of war preparation.

"I didn't expect that there were still remnants of the Vortex clan hidden in Caoyin Village."

In the gloomy environment, Danzo got the intelligence documents presented by his subordinates and said such things.

Half a month has passed since the attack on Caoyin Village.

During this time, the focus of the ninja villages of various countries has converged on the Kusakuin Village, and it is not surprising that the shadows and roots of Konoha have also focused their attention on the Kusakuin Village, digging out the reasons behind the attack on the Kusakuin Village.

Even though Caoyin Village tried its best to hide it, according to some clues, the investigators at the root still found some suspicious places, confirming the existence of the remnants of the Vortex Clan in Caoyin Village.

However, with the attack, the remnants of the Vortex Clan mysteriously disappeared from the interior of Caoyin Village, and their whereabouts are currently unknown.

Danzou held the bounty sheet with the portraits of the Heavenly Feather Girl and Thundering Pill, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Is it for the remnants of the Uzumaki clan to attack the Grass Hidden Village?

First, he attacked Ghost Lantern City, made a decoy, and mobilized the troops of Caoyin Village towards Ghost Lantern City.

Then quickly launched an attack on Caoyin Village, and Caoyin Village, whose troops were scattered, was powerless in the face of the enemy's air attack.

The day after the attack, the village counted the losses and found that the remnants of the Uzumaki clan in the village had disappeared, and the ninjas who were guarding them had also been erased and the world had evaporated.

This is the approximate result deduced by the root investigators, and although there may be some discrepancies in the process, these are the backbone of the story.

"Lord Tuanzang, do you want to immediately start an investigation into the remnants of the Uzumaki Clan?"

Root Ninja asked.

"No need. Since the other party has done this kind of thing, he must have taken this into account, and if he investigates it now, the biggest possibility is that he will not get anything, and he will waste his energy. Rather than tracking down the whereabouts of these remnants of the Uzumaki clan, the most important thing at the moment is to prevent the Uchiha clan. ”

Danzang shook his head.

The attackers had planned well, and before the attack, those attackers had already laid out their retreat routes.

A lot of time has been wasted in investigating the cause of the attack on Caoyin Village, and it is too late to investigate at this time.

"Yes." The root ninja lowered his head, and then thought of something and said: "But Danzo-sama, our people can't approach Uchiha Ruri at all, and none of the people who have secretly monitored her in the past have sent back a message so far, and they don't know if they live or die." ”

Although he wanted to share the pressure on the leader of Danzo, the terrifying guy who monitored Ruri Uchiha had already lost a lot of root ninjas who were good at lurking.

If this continues, it is pointless to continue to send professional ninjas in the latent realm, and it will only deplete the power of the roots.

After all, there was one of them who was sent out before, and his hidden ability couldn't even sense ninjutsu, but even such a professional latent ninja ended in a failed mission.

Either he died, or he was captured and imprisoned, otherwise it would not have been possible to not get any information back until now.

Naturally, this kind of thing can't be reported to the Hokage.,The root didn't have any order to privately monitor the members of the Uchiha clan.,Even if they're killed.,It's the Hokage's own fault.,It's the root itself who suffers.。

"If I had gotten rid of her earlier at all costs......

Sitting on the seat, Danzo felt that things were tricky.

Now even if it's too late to regret it, the little girl in the Uchiha group has grown to the point where the roots are easy to help.

If you want to get rid of her secretly, I'm afraid you need at least a few upper ninjas and more than a dozen middle ninjas to join forces and lay a net in advance.

And now he can't even control the other party's whereabouts and schedule, and it is really difficult to set a trap on her like he did a few years ago.

"I'm very sorry, Tunzo-sama."

"It's none of your business. The current situation between the root and the Uchiha clan is exactly the balance that the three generations want to see, and this balance will sooner or later endanger the village. Therefore, the people of this tribe must not be taken lightly. ”

Danzo made such a judgment.

In his eyes, the balancing act that the Hizari had been pursuing was just the product of a compromise with the Uchiha clan.

This balance, although it ensured Konoha's stability to a certain extent, also made Konoha lose many opportunities to become stronger.

Sure enough, he is the most suitable person to be the Hokage.

Thinking of this, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Tuan Zang's eyes.

At that time, the thought was wrong, and he missed the position of the Hokage, and from then on he could only be reduced to a root buried deep under the darkness of Konoha.

Looking back now, this incident is the one I regret the most.

And now, this is the moment for him to use the power of his roots to save Konoha again.

The Land of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

In an inconspicuous conference room, all the high-level Shinobi of the Sand Hide, including the three generations of Kazekage, were concentrated.

Along with the advisor Chiyo siblings, they are also among them, as the left and right deputies of the three generations of Kazekage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to launch an attack on Konoha in the Land of Fire next year."

At the beginning of the meeting, the three generations of Kazekage went straight to the point.

After hearing these words, none of the surrounding high-level shinobi showed surprise.

If you think about it, the Sand Hidden Village has been secretly accumulating strength since the last ninja war, laying the groundwork for the third ninja war that they will personally trigger soon after.

The three generations of Kazekage brought up this matter at this time, but it was expected.

In order to warm up for the third ninja war not long after, the last ninja war killed Konoha elite Kato Kato.

Just last year, Konoha White Fang also committed suicide due to Konoha's high-level mistakes, and Konoha's high-end combat power can be described as a heavy loss at this time, which is a godsend.

And the three generations of Hokage need to sit in Konoha and defend the rest of the ninja villages, which cannot be easily mobilized.

Konoha can mobilize high-end combat power on the battlefield at this moment, and only Konoha Sannin.

The three shinobi of Konoha also performed well in the last ninja world battle, and the three of them jointly blocked the attack of the Sand Hidden Force led by their Kazekage.

But in the later stage, the three shinobi began to weaken, and if it weren't for the fact that Konoha White Fang was in the hinterland of the sand hidden position to disturb it, the last time the sand hide would have succeeded.

But now, Konoha now doesn't have a second Konoha White Fang, and on the frontal battlefield, with their Kazekage-sama, what is the three ninjas?

"Kazekage-sama, what exactly is the time to attack Konoha?"

One of the shinobi couldn't help but ask.

The general plan is clear to the high-level Shinobu here, and the only thing that needs to be discussed now is when is the best time to attack Konoha.

"I have discussed with Elder Chiyo and Elder Ebizo in advance, and I think that February next year is the best time. In the second month of the new year, Konoha was caught off guard. ”

After the three generations of Kazekage said this, the high-level advisor Chiyo and the Ebizo siblings sat in their positions with a calm face, obviously agreeing with the views of the three generations of Kazekage.

The rest of the high-level shinobi glanced at each other, although there were a few reservations, but since the three most influential people in the high-level had already voted on their opinions, it must be a sure thing to attack Konoha in February next year.

"Elder Chiyo, I ask you to prepare the preparation of the materials."

The three generations of Kazekage stood up from their seats and instructed Chiyo, the advisor beside him.

"Leave this matter to me, Sandaime. I've asked people to work with the Aster Flower Company and get them to provide us with a lot of medical supplies. ”

Chiyo nodded in agreement.

Because it is a winter march, even if it is the end of winter, it may affect the combat effectiveness due to the cold, after all, the climate of the Fire Country is very different from the Wind Country.

In addition to heating props for winter, all kinds of medical supplies must be prepared in advance.

Although the Aster Flower Company is a new pharmaceutical company, the power of this company cannot be underestimated.

In addition, their branch pharmacy has received an excellent response in Shayin Village, and its research and development capabilities in the field of medicine are commendable, and its price and effect are also very positive for the civilians and ninjas of Shayin, which is relatively close to the people.

Moreover, this company represents the official of the neutral country Oni no Kuni, and it is also the reason for Chiyo's trust.

Neutral countries do not participate in the Ninja World War, nor will they be involved in the Ninja World War, and the Oni Country will definitely not leak secrets, unless they want to experience whether the blade of the Sand Hidden Village is sharp enough.

"Then, Elder Hai Laozang, I'll leave it to Yan Yin."

If you want to gnaw on the fat of the Fire Country, you can't rely on the strength of Shayin Village alone, but it may not be possible with the addition of Iwain.

As early as a year ago, he had secretly sent someone to contact Iwakure's third generation of Tsuchikage Onoki, and asked Ebizo to go to Iwakure at this time, just to strengthen Sand Yin's determination, and officially start a comprehensive cooperation with Iwakure, and share the delicious meal of the Fire Country.

The three generations of Kazekage looked out the window excitedly, which was the direction of Konoha in the Land of Fire.

With the loss of Konoha White Fang, the three ninjas alone will never be able to stop the combined forces of Sand Hide and Iwakuin.

This time, they will win!
