Chapter 158 The Third Kazekage’s Blame
Sand Ninja Village.
In Fengying's office, all the elders were present this time, but their expressions were extremely solemn.
"Everyone, the Kazekage has been out of sight for three days! It's been three whole days! The entire Sunagakure Village's ninjas haven't seen the Kazekage for three days!"
"According to the intelligence investigation, the disappearance of the Third Kazekage-sama is too strange..."
In the office, all the elders of Sunagakure Village wrapped in white cloth looked extremely ugly, especially the leaders Chiyo and Ebizo.
"Shut up, everyone!"
As Chiyo drank coldly, the entire conference room fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at the most powerful elder in Sunagakure Village.
Chiyo looked around and said coldly:
"It has only been three days and you have become such a mess. If there are three more months, will the entire Suna Ninja Village be in chaos first? With the current situation in the Ninja World, do you insist on causing the disappearance of the third Kazekage? Does everyone in the Ninja World know about it? ?”
"In the past few days, Ebizo, you will be responsible for pretending to be the Third Kazekage-sama and stabilizing the village so that no one will discover anything. At the same time, I will arrange for people to secretly continue to pursue the clues of the Kazekage-sama."
"Now all of you just shut up, mind yourselves, and call it a day!"
After the meeting ended with a strong cold shout from Elder Chiyo, her younger brother Ebizo was the only one left in Kazekage's office.
"Sister, there are too many doubts about Lord Kazekage, and he has been missing not for three days, but for half a month."
Ebizo said solemnly, he is now responsible for the intelligence and espionage work of Sand Ninja Village, and his position in the village is also very important.
Listening to Ebizou's own brother's words, Chiyo also frowned and rubbed his eyebrows in pain, sighing:
"It's been such a troubled time. The Third Kazekage-sama has been missing for so long, and he's probably been killed."
Although I don’t want to admit it, the shadow of a village has disappeared for half a month without any news. It would be unreasonable if he was not killed.
"The intelligence department has found nothing. If it is a ninja from an enemy village, then who is the most suspicious?"
Ebizo said with a frown, "No one can understand the suffering of Suna Ninja. The shadow of a village is missing and his life and death are unknown. Have you ever heard of this thing?"
You must know that they are one of the top five ninja villages, and Kage is the representative of the pinnacle of the ninja world. However, he disappeared. If this news spread, the Suna ninja would be embarrassed and would be thrown into his grandma's house.
"Who is the most suspicious!"
Looking at his younger brother, Elder Chiyo showed an angry look, slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Who else but Konoha! We are so poor in the Country of Wind, who would be so blind as to come to us? The Kingdom of Wind is fighting the autumn wind, but now the entire ninja world is staring at the fat piece of the Kingdom of Fire, but no one dares to take action.
Faced with this siege situation, what would you do if you were in Konoha?"
Seeing his sister Chiyo getting angry, Ebizo frowned. He knew the hatred between his sister and Konoha, but on this big matter...
As if he could see what his brother was thinking, Chiyo snorted coldly and said:
"If you look at Konoha's methods in recent days, not to mention the frequent wars in Xiao Ninja Village, but also the black and white split plan in Kumogakure Village, it is enough to see how dark this Shimura Danzo is.
Provoking civil strife in the two great ninja villages of Kumogakure and Sunagakure, only Iwagakure and Kirigakure are left, who is most beneficial? "
Chiyo's analysis made Ebizo frown, but he still shook his head and said: "Sister, now that things have happened, the most important thing is to stabilize the village from chaos at this juncture. If the news gets out, we will The village will be in chaos first.”
Just as the two were discussing how to stabilize the village, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Elder Chiyo.
"Elder Chiyo, this is the information sent by one of our spies before he died in the Kingdom of Fire!"
An information scroll with the word "secret" appeared in front of him. As the figure retreated, Elder Qianyo opened it with a solemn expression, and his expression changed drastically in an instant.
After this scene fell into Ebizo's eyes, he couldn't help but frown and said: "Did something big happen in the ninja world!?"
However, Elder Qianyo took a deep breath and threw the scroll over.
"The information came too late!"
Elder Qianyo's voice echoed, and at the same time Ebizo also saw the information coming from the scroll, and his face suddenly darkened.
For a moment, the two siblings' expressions were extremely ugly, because the information that their Sand Ninja Village spy in the Land of Fire sent back before his death was related to the Third Kazekage-sama.
[Urgent! The third Hokage of Konoha is selected to prevent the Hokage. In order to provoke a war in the ninja world, he has secretly ordered spies to seduce the ninjas of our village and prepare to join forces to assassinate the third Kazekage. Please remind the Lord Kazekage immediately! 】
Just one line, if they had come earlier, they would have given the Third Kazekage more protection.
"Konoha! It must be the root of Danzo Shimura hiding in the darkness!"
Elder Chiyo slapped the table angrily. The name of the tree shadow man, Danzo Shimura, has always been the representative of the darkness of Konoha, and he is even called the Darkness of the Ninja World.
Especially under the method of black and white division of the Kingdom of Thunder, this title is even more secure.
"Okay! What a good plan! No wonder White Fang is dead, Sarutobi Hiruzen is really ruthless!"
Under the anger of Elder Qiandai, there was also a deep fear.
"Do you need to doubt this anymore! The Konoha White Fang died mysteriously. I thought it was a good thing, but it turned out to be the dirty tricks of these old guys in Konoha. They actually wanted to provoke the ninja world for the sake of the position of Hokage. war!"
It has to be said that this reason came so timely that neither Chiyo nor Ebizo had the slightest suspicion.
After all, if you can kill a Kage-level warrior just for this position, what does it mean to start a ninja war again? Anyway, with the current state of the ninja world, a fight will begin sooner or later.
Kumogakure's black and white split plan and the disappearance of Suna Ninja Kage directly left the two ninja villages to take care of themselves. The remaining two villages in Konoha were enough to challenge each other.
"Sister, don't be careless. If the disappearance of the Kazekage-sama is really related to Konoha, then it can almost be concluded that the Third Kazekage-sama has probably been killed!"
Ebizo said with a gloomy face the reality they least wanted to admit, that the dignified shadow of a village had been killed.
This kind of humiliation is the worst in the ninja world!
Elder Qiandai suppressed his anger, lowered his voice and said solemnly:
"First block the news, and then secretly contact the three great ninja villages of Iwa, Kiri, and Cloud!"
After Ebizo heard this, he showed a sad face and sighed: "I'm afraid this news won't be kept secret for long. According to the intelligence some time ago, Tsunade, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, has officially inherited the throne. After taking the title of Senju, it is obvious that he wants to compete for the Fourth Hokage."
Ebizo's words are almost saying that it's not that we can't hide it, but that we are afraid that Konoha will find an idea to expose it, and then the fun will be great.
How could Elder Qiandai not know this truth? She sneered and said:
"All the major ninja villages in the ninja world are holding back their strength, but no one wants to be the first to start a war. If that happens, we Suna ninja will drag the entire ninja world into the water!"
When he said this, Elder Qiandai's face showed a sinister cold light.
"Then the flames of war will be burned directly into the Kingdom of Fire!"
This decision also made Ebizo look solemn.
Although the great powers of the ninja world have fought two ninja wars, without exception, they have been very controlled and have not burned the flames of war in their respective homelands.
Instead, everyone unanimously places the battlefield in small countries.
But once a war starts against the homeland, it is a war of aggression, and there will be a crazy counterattack.
…
Today's Konoha is still immersed in the glory of the largest village in the ninja world, and the current third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation has reached its peak. He led Konoha to victory in World War I and World War II. Even the White Fang incident some time ago was still considered by all Konoha ninjas to be the work of spies.
The fault wasn't their Hokage's fault.
"Hiruzhan, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Nako has been successfully sealed, I propose to hand it over to the root!"
In the Hokage's office, Shimura Danzo's face was full of greed, and he opened his mouth again to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who would not refuse anything he asked for.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who usually indulged Danzo Shimura, frowned this time and said calmly: "Danzo! I am the Hokage, and I cannot leave the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki to you."
"Hiruzen you!"
During the confrontation between the two, Shimura Danzo's face was full of aggrievedness. Hiruzen's indulgence towards him over the years had led to him not even realizing it.
Even the ultimate weapon dares to get its hands on it!
"And Uzumaki Nako has just felt the sunshine of Konoha, and she is no longer suitable to return to the darkness."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. He had never looked down upon the control of ninjas.
Tools without emotions are only temporarily suppressed. How can there be no emotions in the human heart? Once there are emotions, it may cause counterproductive effects.
He prefers to hold the weapon and let it serve him sincerely.
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen reject his request, Danzo Shimura's face was filled with aggrievedness, and finally he gritted his teeth and said:
"Hiruzen, there is one more ultimate weapon. Mito-sama has left. This ultimate weapon is traveling outside and is not under our control, especially since it is so close to Uchiha.
Hiruzen! Aren't you afraid that the evil Uchiha would control this weapon that day and bring disaster to the village? "
Good guy, Shimura Danzo is paying attention to Uzumaki Kushina.
If Uzumaki Mito was still there before, Sarutobi Hiruzen would naturally refuse without hesitation, but now the mountain pressing on their heads has disappeared, which made him hesitate under his frown, and finally shook his head in concentration. Voice:
"Danzo, I warn you not to act rashly. Although Mito-sama is gone, Senju Tsunade is still here. If it causes turmoil in the village, you will be the sinner!"
The warning look in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes made Danzo Shimura sneer in his heart, it was the same trick again.
After rambling for a long time, didn't he just tell him that as long as he could stabilize Tsunade and not bring turmoil to the village, he could do it.
After hearing Hiruzen's words, Shimura Danzo's face gradually calmed down, and then he nodded and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, Hiruzen. I will naturally not bring turmoil to the village. But if the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki fights at the border or with ninjas from other countries, causing a diplomatic conflict between the two countries, under the current situation..."
Danzo Shimura's probing tone made Sarutobi Hiruzen hear a flash of light in his eyes. He lowered his Hokage hat and waved his hand without replying:
"Danzo, go down and take care of the roots."
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes could not be seen at this moment, Danzo Shimura had a smile on his face.
Sarutobi Hiruzen acquiesced to his proposal.
In the conflict between the two countries, it doesn't matter if Tsunade's surname is Senju, how can she be saved so easily? No matter whether they succeed or not, they have taken the initiative.
It has to be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo's senior leaders have a cold nature. As soon as Uzumaki Mito left, he wanted to get back the weapons that should belong to them.
Just like Namikaze Minato, the Hokage who sacrificed his life for the village in the original work, as soon as the front leg died, they charted Naruto's path.
In politics, there is never any mercy.
After Shimura Danzo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly raised his head, looked at the Hokage Rock through the window and let out a long sigh.
"I am doing this all for Konoha. If the strongest weapon in the Ninja Village falls into the hands of evil people, it will only bring turmoil to the village. Although Tsunade will not, they are too close to Uchiha."
Later, after seeing the photos of the first and second generation Hokages hanging on the wall of the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked tired.
He has been working hard for Konoha his whole life.
If Danzo really did it, he would have to step in to reconcile the two sides in the end, and then successfully get another weapon into his hands.
There is never right or wrong in politics, but the positions of both parties are different.
Standing in the position of the Third Hokage, with a nuclear weapon like the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki in the hands of others, is this Kage still a Kage?
Similarly, from the perspective of the Senju clan, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was captured by their clan leader, and the jinchūriki is also their clan leader’s wife. Now it should be passed down to future generations, shouldn’t it?
In fact, the final reason is that in this ninja world where power is paramount, strength is the word!
If the third generation could easily pinch the tailed beast, all of this wouldn't be a problem.
…
Thousand Hands Clan.
Compared with the joy of the top Hokage to get half of the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, the Senju clan is immersed in sadness.
The wife of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, Uzumaki Mito, passed away. This woman who took up the responsibility of protecting the Senju clan after the death of the second Hokage passed away in the last winter.
"Master Clan Leader, Danzo Shimura is preparing to deal with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki in the Hokage's office today..."
In the house, listening to Senjumu's report, Tsunade, who was sitting in the position of the head of the house, nodded calmly.
"It's really an old trick, using external pressure to force us to lose Kushina."
Tsunade's indifferent expression made Senjumu, a middle-aged ninja, frown and said in a deep voice:
"Sir, our people in the Anbu heard it personally. There is absolutely no lie about this matter. We have to guard against it."
After all, the Senju clan has produced two Hokage, and the ANBU was established in the hands of the second generation. It is impossible to say that there is no one in the entire Konoha department.
However, after hearing Senjumu's worries, Tsunade sneered at herself.
"Don't worry, I know my teacher better than you do. Do you really think that today's information can be transmitted back to us?"
Tsunade's words immediately made Senjumu look stunned, and then he seemed to think of something, and he couldn't help but said in shock:
"Clan leader, are you saying that the Third Hokage deliberately let us know this?"
Tsunade sneered and nodded disdainfully: "It's really my usual method as a teacher. To put it bluntly, it's telling us that there are still people in the top management of Konoha who are dissatisfied with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki in the Senju clan, but as a member of the Senju clan, he Naruto thinks more, so this is also a warning!"
Today's Tsunade has grown up early, and her character and strength have undergone earth-shaking changes.
"This teacher of mine warned us not to get too close to the Uchiha, especially the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. What he needs is a stable Konoha."
For her hypocritical teacher, the Third Hokage, Senju Tsunade knew very well that Danzo Shimura was always a black glove, and Mito Katoen and Koharu Koharu were his right-hand men.
After listening to Tsunade's analysis, Senjumu suddenly took a breath and was shocked. If you say so, ANBU and the others!
Under his secretly frightened pupils, Tsunade calmly shook her head.
"My teacher is very powerful in his power. The strength of major families is constantly being weakened. At the same time, he is supporting another wave of family power and winning over the hearts of civilian ninjas...
How can it be possible that after more than twenty years, there is still room for us. "
When she said this, Tsunade even rubbed her brows and said with a mocking smile: "The weak will always have this ability."
