On July 20, Konoha 43, the moon stars are scarce. Konoha Village Hokage Office Building.

"Ape Fei, how is the investigation going on in the shadows?" Mito Menyan asked in a deep voice.

The third generation of Hokage Ape Tobi slashed back, "It's all here, you can take a look." Then the rest of the Konoha executives took a copy of the information and began to browse.

A few days after Qing Mizu's death battle with the Sand Ninja in the Land of Fire, the top leaders of Konoha Village had already dispatched three dark brigades, and hundreds of ninjas investigated the whole matter, and now looking at this heavy report, the five leaders at the top level of Konoha Village urgently needed to determine the handling plan for this serious situation as soon as possible.

"So I think the target country of this war in Sand Hidden Village is our Fire Country! I really can't understand that such a stronghold was only established to deal with the Rain Country, which is still in the midst of civil strife, and what does the Rain Country have?! Their goal can only be our ......" Mito Menyan looked at the report in his hand, and he was only shocked in his heart.

"Not only that, but it also blatantly violated the territory of my Fire Country, and caused two deaths and two serious injuries to our Konoha Shadows. This account must be settled! How many years has Konoha not suffered such a loss?! The tone of Koharu was a little excited. Since the Second Shinobi War, countries have been recuperating and recuperating, and although there are some small actions, most of them will not go overboard. Now this time Sha Yin's actions are really exaggerated, and he dares to openly build a war outpost on the border of another country!

"Speaking of which, Sha Yin is still our ally, so ...... ally" Akido frowned slightly, and then continued, "Could there be another hidden meaning in this matter?" ”

"The third generation of Kazekage is a hero, how can a man who is revered as the strongest Kazekage in history be willing to live in the southwest corner? What's more, whether it is the country of wind, the country of earth, the country of thunder, or even the country of water, they have always regarded our country of fire as a piece of fat, and as long as there is a chance, everyone wants to take a bite. Mito Menyan felt that this was simply an act of war in Sand Hidden Village, "What do you think of Sarutobi?" ”

"Based on the information we've gotten so far, that stronghold has been around for at least 1 year, which means they started planning all of this 1 year ago...... After the Second Shinobi War, the three generations of Kazekage declared that they valued economic development, so the demand for iron ore was very high...... At the same time, in order to reform, a major change of teaching materials and teachers at the ninja school was carried out...... The rights of the wealthy families of Shayin Village were recovered, and the centralized system was ......"

The three generations of Hokage took a deep breath and concluded, "Iron ore is for forging weapons; The purpose of reforming the ninja school is to better train good ninjas; The rights are withdrawn, and the martial arts faction is dominant, so that they can start a war as they want...... He had long been preparing for war, a careerist with the dream of a great power. ”

The heart of the three generations of Hokage was very heavy: "What do you think about Danzo? He turned his head to look at Shimura Danzo, who had been silent since the beginning of the meeting, and now had simply closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Wait!" Tuan Zang lightly spit out the word 'wait'.

"Wait?!" Wait?? Isn't it a fight? The other four people were stunned all of a sudden, and even thought that they had misheard Tuanzang's words, and Shimura Tuanzang, the representative of the martial arts faction who had always been warmongering, had actually changed his temperament?

"Wait for the other party to explain and compensate us!" Danzou explained.

"Wouldn't it be too passive to just wait like this?" Mito Menyan asked puzzled.

"If we rush to announce the war intentions of Shayin Village to the world now, we are very likely to be bitten back. The village of Sand Hidden can be completely denied, because we only discovered their stronghold, and then based on the evidence from all sides, it was revealed that their target could only be us. "But we don't have direct evidence that the other side is going to wage war against the Fire Country, and we haven't even found a weapon, any supplies, you must know that the cave is completely empty." ”

"But will this be mistaken by the other party as a sign of our Konoha cowardice? After all, our shadows are 2 dead and 2 wounded. They have also invaded the territory of our Fire Nation. "This is obviously an act of war!" If they choose to ignore it, we can't just leave it at that! ”

"Of course we won't just forget it, not only will it not be just that, but we will also fight for more benefits. With just 2 dead and 2 wounded and a territorial invasion, I don't think we have much to gain...... Some indemnity? So what's the point of our Konoha ninja's sacrifice? What's more, the place where the cave was found was in the territory of the Land of Rain, not the Land of Fire. So relying on us diplomatically alone doesn't really get more benefits. ”

"So what you mean?" Akido asked.

"On the one hand, when Shayin Village explains to us, we can see Shayin's reaction before making plans; On the other hand, establishing a certain degree of friendship with the Rain Ninja Village may even give Konoha Village one more strategic ally from now on, although all of us here know that the goal of the Sand Hidden Village is most likely to be us, but the people of the Rain Ninja Village may not necessarily feel that way. for this stronghold is within the borders of their land...... As long as we do a little bit of tricking around with some of the evidence and give it to them...... They don't need to say more, they will associate it themselves. When the time comes, the Wind Country will be under pressure from the Land of Rain, hehe......" Danzo's laughter was a little hoarse.

"It still sounds a little bit reasonable. What do you think? Akimichi looked at the other three.

"Rain Ninja Village, ah......" Zhuan Xiaochun seemed to think of something, and was no longer so excited.

"Although Rain Ninja Village is just a small ninja village, if we can get the friendship of Sansho Fish Hanzo......" Mito Menyan also began to analyze the gains and losses in this.

In the Second Ninja World War, the small ninja village of Rain Ninja Village was on par with Konoha Village, maybe the victory of the war would eventually be Konoha's, but Konoha would definitely not like this kind of victory, because it was a tragic victory.

It's all the existence of that man - Sanshoyu Hanzo! The leader of Yuyin Village, in that war, he had single-handedly defeated more than a dozen Konoha ninja legions, which was nearly 5,000 ninjas! And the three who joined forces Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade were cornered.

It was also during that war that Hanzo gave the three of them the title of "Three Shinobi".

Such a glorious and terrifying record pushed him to the top of the world today, and is regarded as the apex of the ninja world, and at the same time known as the "demigod", the only god in the ninja world today. Therefore, if anyone is regarded as an enemy by the "demigod" Hanzo, they must weigh whether they need to do so, even if the other party is the shadow of the Sand Hidden Village of the Land of Wind.

"Tuanzang, this is not like what you would say in your daily life." Ape Fei hit the nail on the head.

"The clouds of war are looming over us at any time, and we need to unite as much as possible with all ......the forces we can win," Tuan Zang said with great sincerity.

"In that case, then we immediately need to sort out the information and evidence, as well as forge false evidence, and then send someone to communicate with the Rain Ninja Village."

"Let me take care of this." Tuan Zang took the initiative to take on this task, "This kind of dirty work is not the meaning of the existence of 'roots'. ”

The third generation Hokage looked directly into Tuanzang's eyes, he seemed to want to see through Tuanzang's innermost thoughts, and said solemnly, "Tuanzang, this matter is not trivial, and there is no room for the slightest mistake!" "After all, such an abnormal group is impossible, so people don't think about it. Therefore, the three generations of Hokage solemnly reminded.

"Ape Fei, you're too sensitive. After all, I am also a member of the Fire Konoha, and everything I have done is for the sake of the village...... Even if it's a root, it's the root of Konoha. ”

After saying that, Danzou left the Hokage's office directly, and the dim light in the corridor illuminated half of his snow-white bandage, which looked extremely hideous. As he drifted away from the Hokage's office, he suddenly asked, "How's the preparation?" ”

At some point, there was already a Konoha dark side standing behind Tuan Zang, and he replied, "Everything is ready, and you can leave Rain Ninja Village at any time." ”

"Then we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Bring 3 and 4 sets! Danzang ordered.

"Yes, yes!" The Shadow Ninja said respectfully.

"By the way, what's going on with the April Shimizu survey?" Tuan Zang asked about Qing Shui at this time.

"It's a pity that April Shimizu was accompanied by Tsunade-sama throughout the treatment...... We didn't get a chance to get his fresh blood......"

"Do you want to let Orochimaru get it?" Tuan Zang was a little hesitant at this time, if he called Orochimaru to participate in this matter, it would naturally be to give Orochimaru enough benefits. Because in the face of the patients treated by Tsunade himself, his roots really don't have the ability to compete with Tsunade.

And this Shangnin, who is called April Qingshui, has some impressions, precocious, hardworking, but his talent is extremely ordinary. I remember that he has always been a middle ninja, why did he suddenly become a top ninja last year, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds?? Although Maruki Kosuke is powerful, he has also been guided by the second generation Hokage, but how can He De teach such a powerful Shinobi......

So what exactly happened to this person? There must be some secrets hidden on Qing Shui that he doesn't know. At first, Tuan Zang thought it was just a very ordinary middle ninja who had been boiling for many years, and he was naturally promoted to a top ninja, and then this year's S-class mission in the country of grass was just opportunistic, relying on tactical and geographical advantages to defeat the more than 20 mercenary ninjas...... Now, it seems, that's not the case at all.

"And what are the results of the analysis so far?"

"Because there are no corpses of the sand ninja, we can only infer from the traces of the battle and blood stains at the scene that the sand ninja has a total of a brigade of 36 ninjas, including 8 upper ninjas and 28 middle ninjas. There were two large-scale engagements in between. The first time was when April Shimizu was besieged by a full ninja brigade, and the fighting environment was still sandy, but he was escaped by April Shimizu, and the second time was when April Shimizu ambushed the sand ninja in the Fire Country and finally defeated them......" When the dark ninja stated these facts, it was still a little unbelievable, "This should be beyond the level of the elite upper ninja." ”

"Better than you?"

"Yes! Shame on your subordinates! At least the subordinates can't escape under the full ninja brigade led by the 8 upper ninjas, or even fight back. The Shadow Ninja bowed his head.

"In just over a year, Naknobu has become stronger than you, is it possible?" Danzang's tone was full of sarcasm.

"If it's a genius......"

"But he's not." Danzou interrupted the dark department's speculation, and he continued, "April Shimizu, once the Konoha higher-ups agreed that he was a genius, but unfortunately, his talent is too ordinary. I originally thought that Nakashinobi was the end of his life...... I didn't expect him to be able to become a Shangnin, which was beyond my expectations, and now he even surpasses the elite Shangnin......"

"Something must have happened to him, there must be some secret in him!" Danzou was sure, "Go and discuss with Orochimaru, get what we want from Tsunade and ask him to make an offer." ”

"Yes!" The Shadow Ninja disappeared behind the group with an instantaneous movement.

"It's a pity, an orphan, who would have been an excellent candidate for 'Root'." Tuan Zang muttered to himself, "Is it really blind? ”
