Chapter 144: The Wind Rises

On the third day of coming to the country of waves, Zuosuke's injuries have basically healed, and even if he does some strenuous exercises, it will not cause a burden on his body.

Perhaps because he had awakened a higher-level writing wheel eye, after the injury healed, Zuosuke felt that his physical condition at this time was better than ever. The dynamic vision of the eyes, including the strength of the chakra, has been significantly improved compared to the self when fighting Itachi.

If you fight Itachi again, it should be a lot easier in terms of results.

During his stay in the country of waves, Sasuke stayed in the stronghold of the Thunder Light Regiment and did not go out.

In addition to the necessary recuperation, Sasuke focused his energy on how to sneak into Konoha.

The country of fire, where Konoha is located, is one of the great powers.

Compared with the past, the strength has been reduced, but this reduction is compared to the great powers of the same era, and its comprehensive strength far exceeds that of Konoha during the Third Ninja World War. This is the conclusion that Zuo Zhu came to through the information sent by the Thunder Light Regiment.

As far as Zuo Zhu's observation is concerned, Lei Guangtuan's judgment is very pertinent.

As a member of the Konoha ninjas in the past, he knew how deep the water was in this village.

Under the seemingly peaceful appearance, there is an undercurrent on the inside, and if you are not careful, you will be gnawed and there will be no bones left.

Sneaking in, not only will there be no way to find the high-level of Konoha to take revenge, but he will also put himself in it.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a well-thought-out plan of action.

For this reason, it is time for the four of them to shine.

The purpose of their follow-up is to make his revenge plan go more smoothly, to weaken the strength of unrelated personnel for him, or in other words, to attract firepower.

"Sneak attack on Konoha's patrol force?"

In a wooden house arranged by the Lei Guangtuan, the door panel is closed, and only the windows by the sea do not matter, and occasionally the sea breeze blows in to make people feel comfortable.

This is the place where Sasuke used to hold an impromptu meeting, and the four, Shigego, including Hoshino Shrine Maiden, who was supported by the Oni Country, was among them.

After the battle with Itachi, they also followed to the Land of Waves.

Now that he heard Zuo Suke's new arrangement, the ghost boy pill in the crowd of four couldn't help frowning in confusion.

If they are trying to attract attention, even if they are attacking Konoha patrol troops, it will be difficult to cause much movement.

It's not to demean itself, but it's true.

In the territory of a large country, attacking the local ninja village patrol force requires extremely fast skills and sharp means, and these abilities are barely possessed by the four people. However, among the patrol troops, there must also be strong Shangnin guards, once they encounter these Shangnin, if they want to end the battle quickly, with their ability, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it.

There is no need for Konoha high-level officials to carry out special meetings and planning, and the patrol force itself is enough to deter all accidents.

"yes, what's the problem?"

Zuo Zhu asked.

"I'd like to ask, is it just us, Zosuke-sama?"

Oni Boy Maru hesitated for a moment and continued to ask.

"That's more than enough manpower. I know what you're worried about, rest assured, this is a critical period for holding the Joint Shinobi Exam, and the top management of Konoha definitely doesn't want to see security problems in the territory at this time. Even if it's a big fuss, they will shift a considerable part of their attention to the matter. ”

Listening to Zuo Zhu's explanation, everyone's brows were soothed.

Indeed, the joint ninja exam will be launched in Konoha immediately.

In normal times, even if there is a problem with the patrol force, it will be handled by the patrol force itself for the time being, and then it will be reported to the Konoha higher-ups. But now the situation is different, with the unfolding of the joint middle ninja exam, any bit of wind and grass will inevitably cause a high degree of vigilance at the top of Konoha and cause a scene of rumors.

And this is exactly the result of the need for left help.

At the lowest cost, it attracted the attention of the Konoha higher-ups and transferred a part of the Konoha Village troops.

Although it is only partial, this is also the limit of what the four and others can do.

If they directly cause trouble inside Konoha, they are estimated to be captured by the Konoha ninja soon.

"If that's the case, you might as well give it a try. But how far do you have to go, Sakasuke-sama? ”

It was Hoshino Shrine Maiden who was asking.

Her comprehensive strength is the lowest in the team, only the strength of the middle ninja, but as a medical ninja, she has the strength of the middle ninja, which is enough to protect herself. What's more, even if there is a fight, she doesn't need to take the initiative to play.

"Find the weakest patrol squads, kidnap these Konoha ninjas, and cause them to go missing. Or symbolically attack candidates who go to Konoha to take the exam, as long as it can attract attention and give them the illusion that there are many of you. Squads in trouble, mainly guerrilla warfare, do not be pinned down by the enemy. If there is an uncontrollable accident, you are responsible for the aftermath. ”

Sasuke looked at Shigego, who had been silent.

As the highest-ranking No. 2 person in the team besides himself, Shigego's strength, after learning immortal arts, is not a problem to deal with several Shangnin at the same time.

Even if you encounter a five-shadow level ninja, you can delay it for a while.

Having him in the team is enough to ensure the safety of this team and prevent it from falling into a siege and annihilating the whole army.

There is still room for the four to grow, and with their age, there is still the possibility of further progress in the future. Therefore, when an accident occurs, the dangerous task after the interruption can only be entrusted to the most powerful Shigego to perform.

Shigego nodded, indicating that he understood.

"So, next, are you planning to infiltrate Konoha alone?"

Then, Shigego asked the most crucial question.

With him in the team, at this critical point, the task of attracting the attention of Konoha high-level is not difficult, the difficult thing is the follow-up Konoha ninja encirclement and suppression operation, which needs to be paid attention to hidden.

But the task on Sasuke is different.

He is directly attacking the headquarters of Konoha Village, where there are thousands of ninjas, and there are dozens of ninjas on the surface, not to mention, the elite who are dormant in the shadows and roots.

Maybe he can cause chaos to Konoha at the first time, but when Konoha reacts, Zuosuke will inevitably be besieged by the Konoha ninja and fight alone.

That situation is extremely unfavorable to Zuo Zhu.

"This time is different from dealing with Itachi, the enemy is a large village, and your task is to reduce some of the forces of the Konoha Village headquarters for me. Then I will sneak into Konoha and unleash the giant psychic beasts of the Ninja Cat clan to attack the important facilities of Konoha Village in order to cause chaos. ”

In this way, the garrison force that protects the high-level of Konoha will be further weakened.

Although the ninja cat clan helper summoned by the psychic technique, since most of his chakra will be used on the Konoha high-level, there will not be many chakras left for the ninja cat clan, but as long as he can cause chaos in the early stage, he will end the lives of those Konoha high-level people as quickly as possible.

With this pair of kaleidoscope writing wheels, he can do it.

Now he has enough self-confidence that he can assassinate the high-level of Konoha in a very short time.

First two advisors, and then the root leader Shimura Danzo.

All it takes is the psychic beast of the ninja cat clan to contain the Konoha ninja for half an hour, and he can complete the revenge of the Uchiha.

Hearing Zuosuke's arrangement, Shigego was a little relieved.

"So, has Sasuke-sama found a way to infiltrate Konoha?"

At this time, Hoshino Shrine Maiden asked.

"In Itachi's memory, there is a secret door that can sneak into Konoha smoothly."

Zuosuke replied without thinking.

"But that secret door is one of the results of the transaction between Itachi and Konoha executives. Now that the two sides are separated, it's hard to say whether that secret door exists. Even if it exists, there is no guarantee that the garrison there will be the same as before. ”

Hoshino Mikoto's words caused Sasuke to ponder.

As Hoshino Shrine Maiden said, this is indeed a problem.

That secret door was the result of Itachi's deal with Konoha higher-ups, in order to facilitate Itachi's return to Konoha and contact the higher-ups.

But now that the top management of Konoha has unilaterally abandoned Itachi, then the existence of this secret door may not be a trap.

"What do you mean......"

Sasuke looked at Hoshino Shrine Maiden with a calm face.

The other party is a wandering witch from the Ghost Country, a medical staff who was temporarily arranged by the Ghost Country military to join his team.

However, due to the special nature of wandering shrine maidens, they cannot be regarded simply as medical personnel.

They walk all over the ninja world, interspersed with the battlefields of various small countries, they are not only martial artists, but also medical ninjas, and they are the eyes of the ghost country to monitor all countries.

Intelligence, secrets, are the most valuable things in the hands of wandering shrine maidens.

When Hoshino Shrine Maiden said this, she must have known that the secret door where Itachi was in contact with Konoha was no longer there.

Entering from there, there is a good chance that as soon as you enter, you will be besieged by the Konoha ninjas.

"If Sasuke-sama doesn't mind, I'll contact someone on our side in Konoha Village and open another secret door for you. That secret door can not only avoid the Konoha ninja, but also will not be sensed by the enchantment of Konoha Village, and can be perfectly infiltrated. ”

Hoshino shrine maiden masasaki.

The rest of the people were only surprised for a moment, and then returned to normal.

The country of demons has planted people in Konoha, which is already an open secret in the ninja world.

Zuo Zhu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, then please go over and contact the people over there, I will start to act during the first exam of the Zhongnin Exam, and let him get ready for work an hour in advance." ”

"Yes."

Hoshino shrine maiden bowed slightly, walked out of the wooden house, and liaised with Konoha's informant.

July 6th.

There are still four days left before the joint shinobi exam held in Konoha Village.

Hundreds of candidates from various countries in the ninja world began to rush towards the land of fire one after another, and under the leadership of the leading team of Shangnin, they went to Konoha.

However, the arrival of a piece of news attracted the attention of the Konoha Hokage.

"The examinee from Caoyin Village was attacked by unknown people, which almost led to the death of the examinee. In addition, there are three patrol teams in the west, a total of 12 people have been missing for a day, and the murderer has not been found so far. ”

Tsunade looked at this unfavorable information for Konoha and suddenly grew up in two.

When there is an accident is not good, but at this time.

No matter how much you deceive yourself, you know that this is not an accident, most likely someone took advantage of this opportunity to secretly target Konoha and carry out some unknown action.

"Although I had a hunch, I was really bold and careful to use the candidates to cause panic. If it is not handled carefully, it will cause more trouble. ”

Lu Jiu, who came to the Hokage's office and got first-hand information, also sighed.

If it's just a problem with the patrol force, then the problem will only extend to Konoha himself.

But if it affects people from other countries, even if they know that it is a trap, they have to jump in with their eyes open according to the attacker's wishes.

At the very least, it is necessary to give a reasonable explanation to the personnel of other countries, so as not to cause a bigger storm during the examination.

"What are Hokage-sama going to do? Is it an order to the border guards to send some of their men out? ”

It is uncertain the number and strength of the attackers, but the candidates in Caoyin Village survived, and their testimony is not necessarily accurate, and it may be that the enemy is in a suspicious position.

Therefore, rash action will trigger a new crisis.

Caution must be exercised.

"Some ninjas were drawn from the village to form a temporary patrol force, led by ten ninjas."

Tsunade said directly.

Border troops cannot be easily mobilized, and although there has been no fighting recently, the external deterrent force must not act rashly.

And judging by the targets of the attack, although the strength of the attackers was not weak, it was not to the extent that border guards were needed to intervene.

Most of these attackers were released in advance to attract firepower.

"Isn't it a bit ...... to do this?"

Ten upper ninjas, plus a certain number of middle ninjas, this patrol force is not weak.

"That's it, candidates participating in the exam, if this kind of thing happens, if you want to shut these people's mouths, you can't just make a show. Moreover, I also want to know who is going to make a move on Konoha at such a time. ”

Tsunade's eyes flashed with a fierce look.

In fact, she already had some speculations about the manipulators behind this attack, but due to some things, she didn't say it directly.

After all, when the matter about that person is said on the bright side, Konoha's face is really indelible.

What's more, this is just speculation, and it is confirmed by no conclusive evidence. Maybe the truth of the matter is not what you think, but what others do.

Lu Jiu sighed and didn't speak again.

His guess is basically consistent with Tsunade.

Uchiha Sasuke, could it be this guy?

The previous movement in the country of Rin, and the battle that took place in the Uchiha stronghold......

After all, it has been a month since the other party solved the Great Snake Pill, and there has been no news about the other party in this month, so it is difficult not to worry Lu Jiu for such patience and dormancy.

Because of the contradictions between the two sides, there is no way to resolve them.

Especially in the stronghold of the roots, the corpses of those Uchiha people, and the lost writing wheel eye, there is no way to explain it at all......

Although it is despised, Shimura Danzo, who has concentrated the power of the roots and martial arts faction, must not be lost.

No matter whether the object of the other party's revenge is the high-level of Konoha or the entire Konoha level, once the corresponding action is launched, what he will have to face is all the power of Konoha and not just the high-level!

This point, Lu Jiu is very sure!

"In that case, Hokage-sama, the two advisors should also send some more people over. As for the security of the village, I'll let the Enchantment Department scout carefully to prevent anyone from sneaking in. ”

didn't pick and choose, but both Shikaku and Tsunade knew it.

It's okay if the guess is wrong, but once it's correct, you must make arrangements in advance so that they don't have an accident that catches them off guard.

The Land of Fire, West Canyon.

A hand-carved stronghold.

The four, Jugo, and the Hoshino shrine maidens gathered here.

In the two days they spent infiltrating the Fire Nation, they launched a total of six attacks.

Three of them attacked Konoha's patrol squad and abducted its personnel. The other three were the examinees of other countries who attacked other countries and entered the Land of Fire.

This matter must have attracted Konoha's attention.

At this juncture, even if it is to appease those candidates from other countries who have been attacked, Konoha will definitely take action to arrest the attackers, and he can't simply act like this and continue to cause dissatisfaction among candidates from other countries. After all, these candidates represent the faces of the rest of the countries, and if there is an accident in the Land of Fire, Konoha will bear full responsibility.

"Counting up, Konoha will almost send more people over. What follows is going to be a pretty tough battle. ”

The crowd sat down in the secret room of the stronghold, around a pile of burning firewood.

Because this stronghold has not been inhabited for a long time, the air is humid and cold, and it is necessary to burn a fire to expel the cold.

This was originally a stronghold abandoned by the people of the Oni Country, but now it is used for waste, which is just right.

Oni Boy Maru picked up a twig and fiddled with the fire at will.

The strength on their side is not too strong compared to the patrol force of the entire Konoha team. It was only by taking the other party by surprise and acting quickly that the fate of being besieged was avoided.

But then you can't attack rashly, and if you are prepared, Konoha's patrol force will be more closely connected, and there will definitely be a large number of reinforcements. At that time, even if it is Chongwu, he may not be able to get out of it with his whole body.

"Then, after that, we will focus on guerrilla warfare and avoid contact with Konoha's main patrol force."

Tayu also proposed.

"But it's not easy to do that."

Zuo Jin frowned.

After all, they can't tell which one is the main force of the patrol force and which one is not.

"Moreover, the prisoners held here also have some role, and someone needs to stay and guard them."

Shigego also said at this time.

When necessary, these captured Konoha ninjas can be their life-saving tools.

Therefore, while fighting guerrilla warfare with the Konoha patrol, it is also necessary to have people stay behind and watch over these prisoners.

"Jirobo, you and Hoshino stay and guard."

Oni Boy Maru said.

Hoshino shrine maidens are not good at fighting, so it's safer to stay in a stronghold than to follow them.

In addition, they also have medical charms on their bodies, so as long as they are not seriously injured, there is no need for Hoshino Shrine Maiden to perform medical ninjutsu treatment.

And Jirobo's strength is the lowest among the four, and his escape characteristic is that he can absorb the target's chakra, which can effectively control these captives and keep them in a weak state at all times.

Jirobo and Hoshino Shrine Maiden nodded, no objection.

The land of ghosts.

The deepest part of the research department building.

In one of the morgues, the temperature was so low that you could see a thin layer of frost on the edge of the corner.

Huge cabinets made of steel, arranged in an orderly manner, are marked with numbers, each number, representing a corpse.

Dressed in a white coat, Shiraishi ignored the cold air and walked to the innermost part of the morgue.

Compared to these corpses outside, the deepest corpse is the most valuable existence.

Unraveling the barrier in the corresponding Indian style, the originally flat white wall suddenly cracked a gap in the middle and slowly pushed towards the inside, forming an open white iron door.

Unlike the outside, the space inside is very small, and the bodies stored are all lying quietly on stretchers, just wrapped in special plastic bags.

And the number is very small, only a dozen, but the rarity of each corpse is far greater than that of the corpses outside.

Shiraishi walked over to one of the corpses and slightly ripped open the cord of the special plastic bag, revealing the corpse's face.

With his long black hair and nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose, his face is grim even when he dies, giving the illusion that he seems to be alive.

The corpse was well preserved, the fatal wounds were treated without the slightest breakage.

This corpse is none other than Uchiha Itachi.

One of the holders of the Uchiha clan's kaleidoscope writing wheel.

In terms of strength, it can be regarded as a very rare genius in the Uchiha clan.

His ninja talent seems to be a little stronger than that of his wife, Ruri.

He died of his wounds after a battle with Sasuke.

After that, he was transferred to the country of ghosts and preserved with him.

Without much thought, Shiraishi carried the corpse, walked out of the morgue, came to the laboratory, untied the special plastic bag, put the corpse on the operating table, and lay quietly.

"Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye ......"

Shiraishi has enough information about the study of these eyes.

But the eternal kaleidoscope above this, due to the lack of physical objects, he does not know much.

Madara Uchiha, the only one with a finished product, still has eyes on Nagato, which has led to his research in this area has been very slow.

Although before Itachi, he still had another pair of kaleidoscope writing wheels of unknown origin here, but due to various hidden problems, he was not in a hurry to use this power for Liuli.

According to the information he obtained, the kaleidoscope of the wheel eye between direct blood relatives has a higher fusion rate, and there are successful examples.

But the kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes of non-direct blood relatives, whether they can be fused, how repulsive is it, what is the success rate, and what will happen if it fails...... Shiraishi didn't know anything about these things.

So, he's been waiting for the right opportunity.

Wait for the first one in his hand and eat the crab.

And this man, now finally here.

Uchiha Sasuke.

Itachi Uchiha.

It can be seen as a remake of Madara Uchiha and the brothers Izuna Uchiha.

They are both brothers, and they are both holders of the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye.

If the Madara Uchiha brothers can successfully give birth to a pair of eternal kaleidoscopes, then there is a high probability that the kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes of Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi will also succeed.

With this in mind, Shiraishi began to pull out his tools and reach for Itachi's eyes.
