Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide! - Chapter 236
c235 Shimura Danzo: Let Konoha be great again!
The initial contact of the Anti-Konoha Alliance was conducted in secret by the four ninja villages, but it was soon discovered by Konoha.
There was no way. It was normal to plant spies between ninja villages in this era.
Although the four ninja villages did not intend to publicize it before the establishment of the alliance, the unusual communication between the four ninja villages was eventually noticed by the root ninjas under Shimura Danzo.
Moreover, at this critical moment when the ninja villages had just recovered from the damage of the Second Ninja World War, it was undoubtedly irrational to launch a war against Konoha.
So the idea of the Third Raikage was like the previous story of the vertical and horizontal alliances. After forming the Anti-Konoha Alliance, he first called on all countries to launch an economic blockade and use all available non-war means to suppress the development of Konoha.
When Konoha’s development gradually slowed down under the layers of siege by the ninja villages, it was time for the Four-Nation Alliance to officially launch an attack on it.
However, these preliminary preparations could not be hidden for too long. After the Root paid a huge price, Shimura Danzo finally learned about the betrayal of Kumogakure and Iwagakure and the establishment of the anti-Konoha alliance.
“Betrayal, dishonesty… these barbarians from the plateau are really a group of barbarians!”
In Konoha, in the Hokage Building, in the Hokage’s office, Shimura Danzo looked at the information in his hand and snorted coldly.
Obviously, Shimura Danzo chose to ignore what he had done to Sarutobi Hiruzen before, and his words were full of disdain for Kumogakure and the Third Raikage.
“My lord, the current situation is that Iwagakure and Kumogakure not only betrayed their alliance with us, but now they have contacted the Mist and Sand Villages to form an anti-Konoha alliance to try to strangle us in the Land of Fire.”
Since the death of Aburame Ryoma, Aburame Higashihiko, who took over his duties as Shimura Danzo’s guard, said so.
“During the last Ninja World War, the three ninja villages jointly attacked us and we had such a hard time resisting them. This time, we should find a way to destroy the Four-Nation Alliance first!”
“Destroy? We should destroy, but is it that easy to destroy their alliance?”
Shimura Danzo snorted coldly. He naturally knew the purpose of the Four-Nation Alliance.
To be honest, when he first learned about the Four-Nation Alliance, Shimura Danzo was not only angry, but also a little proud.
After all, in addition to Konoha, which ninja village in the world can make the other four ninja villages unite to deal with it?
Doesn’t this just reflect the current strength of Konoha and its current status in the ninja world?
For Shimura Danzo, who advocates militarism, this is simply the greatest compliment.
The only flaw is that the current Konoha was not developed in his hands…
“But it doesn’t matter. The past is the past. From now on, Konoha officially enters the Shimura Danzo era. All the traces left by the predecessors in Konoha will disappear with my various actions.”
“History will prove that I am the only hero who can save Konoha!”
Shimura Danzo thought complacently, but in a blink of an eye, he began to think about how to solve the current thorny international situation.
“But then again, this alliance also needs to be treated with care. With the current strength of Konoha, it is indeed impossible to resist the attacks of four countries at the same time.”
Bang!
Just when Shimura Danzo fell into deep thought, thinking about how to destroy the current anti-Konoha alliance that is extremely unfavorable to Konoha, the door of the Hokage’s office was suddenly pushed open.
Sarutobi Hiruzen brought Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En, and came here in a hurry.
“Danzo! Have you heard about the news of the Four-Nation Alliance?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen went straight to the point and told the reason for their haste.
When Danzo Shimura heard this, his eyes narrowed.
“We got the news so quickly. It seems that there are still many people in the Anbu who are this old guy! I have been busy talking to the major ninja clans recently, but I have overlooked this point. It is indeed time to clean up the team!”
Although he has made up his mind to clean up the Anbu, Danzo Shimura remained calm and nodded in response to Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words.
“I just heard about it too.”
“We had a hard time dealing with three countries in the previous Ninja World War. In the end, we had to ask the Hidden Mist Village to act as a peacemaker after all parties suffered heavy losses, which ended the last Ninja World War.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally didn’t know what Danzo Shimura was thinking. He took a deep puff of smoke and said seriously.
“If the four countries unite to launch an offensive against us now, then the village will definitely lose!”
“Danzo, as the Hokage, you must come up with a solution now!”
Come up with a solution?
In this case, you want me to solve it with my head!
Shimura Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who only emphasized the urgency of the matter but could not come up with any solution, and he could not help but get angry.
“So, Hiruzen, do you have any good ideas?”
“Method?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned, looked at Shimura Danzo with a puzzled look and said: “You are the Hokage now, and I am not the Hokage, how can I come up with a solution?”
“As the Hokage, shouldn’t you make the decision in this situation? Why do you always think about seeking help from others?”
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who changed his identity so smoothly and didn’t look speechless at all, Shimura Danzo couldn’t help but feel a sense of tightness in his chest.
Why, why are you so skilled at passing the blame!
Originally, he thought that since Sarutobi Hiruzen was so tough in accusing him, there must be a solution.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke out, he would directly pick out a few mistakes and end with “Huruzen, I am the Hokage”, then the old man Sarutobi Hiruzen would inevitably be humiliated and run away.
But why did he adapt to his identity so skillfully!
How did he grasp the essence of the opposition party so quickly!
Looking at Shimura Danzo’s speechless look and noticing the unspeakable atmosphere between the two, Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu couldn’t help but start to change the subject.
“The current situation is indeed extremely critical for us Konoha, and it can even be said that this is the biggest crisis Konoha has faced since the founding of the village.”
Mito Kado En pushed his glasses upward with his right middle finger and introduced the situation in a calm tone.
“According to intelligence, the four nations of Wind, Earth, Thunder, and Water have reached an alliance agreement in private, but it has not been made public yet.”
“The best news for us now may be that they are currently thinking of using non-war means such as sabotaging Konoha’s diplomacy, economic blockade, internal alienation, and public opinion guidance to weaken our strength first, rather than launching a war immediately.”
“Otherwise, if the four nations launch an attack on us now, then Konoha will probably be on the verge of destruction.”
“Launch an attack now? They dare to do it!”
Shimura Danzo snorted coldly when he heard this. He is a militarist and has the toughest mouth among the people present. No matter how critical the situation is, at least he will never lose in the mouth cannon.
“Although my Konoha has just recovered from the last Ninja World War, so have the other villages?”
“The Kirigakure Village did not participate in the war, but their strength… haha! It’s not that I look down on the Kirigakure Village. Except for Kirigakure Crescent Moon, the Kirigakure Village is garbage!”
“With their strength, even if they can destroy Konoha now, Konoha will be able to replace any two of them at the cost of their lives!”
Shimura Danzo knocked the cane in his hand heavily, directly pointing out why the Shikoku ninjas dared to use non-war means to cut meat with a blunt knife instead of launching a war immediately.
“I really don’t believe that such a loose alliance dares to stand up at this time, betting whether Konoha will drag them down as scapegoats!”
When the other three heard this, they also smiled proudly on their faces.
That’s right, this is the deterrent power of Konoha, the world’s first ninja village!
To defeat them, not only do you need the union of the other four ninja villages, but you also need to use all kinds of despicable means to weaken them before these ninja villages dare to take action!
“But we have to do something after all. If we let them use these methods, the gap between the village and them will inevitably become larger and larger. If the gap is large enough, and they can bear the loss, Konoha will no longer have any hope of turning the tables.”
After a brief moment of pride, the three consultants present returned to reality.
“Yes! And even if we don’t consider other things, just from the number of tailed beasts, the other four ninja villages have six tailed beasts in total. If Kizuna returns the five tails to the Hidden Rock Village, it will be seven tailed beasts.”
“The Nine-Tails is indeed strong, but it is almost impossible to win against seven alone! And the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is not Mito-sama, and it is still unknown whether he can control the power as perfectly as Mito-sama!”
When Shimura Danzo heard the complaints of Utatane Koharu, his heart suddenly moved, and he remembered a key to breaking the situation.
“If I remember correctly, except for the Kirigakure, the seals of the tailed beasts in the other ninja villages are not very strong, right?”
Although it was strange that Shimura Danzo changed the subject, Mito Kado En thought for a while and gave an answer.
“That’s right. Except for us and Kirigakure, we have the sealing technique from the Uzumaki clan, which can achieve a strong seal on the tailed beasts. The tailed beasts in the other three ninja villages will make trouble from time to time.”
“Especially the Sand Village. Since the death of the old monk Bonfu, the one-tailed Jinchuriki has never lived for more than three years.”
“And since the failure of the attempt to seize the whirlpool sealing technique to destroy the Whirlpool Country and the Kumogakure Village several years ago, their villages have basically experienced a tailed beast riot every few years.”
When Shimura Danzo heard this, a hint of desire flashed in his eyes.
“In that case… what do you think about us handing over the tailed beast sealing technique to them?”
“Give it to them?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two were stunned and thought carefully about Shimura Danzo’s proposal.
“That’s right, just give it to them! It’s just not to the three families of Wind, Earth, and Thunder, but to the two families of Wind and Earth!”
After Shimura Danzo sorted out his thoughts, he became more and more excited.
“The strength of the Hidden Cloud Village is originally inferior to ours, and giving this Tailed Beast Sealing Technique to them would be aiding the enemy. But the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Rock Village are different. Even if the strength of these two villages is strengthened, we are enough to deal with them.”
“We can use the Tailed Beast Sealing Technique in exchange for these two villages to abandon the dark and join the light… No, it’s better to let them continue to lurk in the alliance, and then betray the alliance at the critical moment, and give the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village a critical blow, so that they can play the greatest role!”
Danzo Shimura waved his fist and stood up suddenly.
“With this kind of calculation done mentally and unintentionally, Yunyin Village and Kirigakure Village will definitely suffer heavy losses!”
After thinking for a while, the three consultants found that this was indeed a solution, but Hiruzen Sarutobi still had questions after all.
“But what if the Iwagakure and Sunagakure villages accept the sealing technique and fail to perform their duties?”
If you want the other party to lurk in the alliance and betray you at the critical moment, you must pay the other party in advance, and this tailed beast sealing technique is a one-time deal. If the other party takes the money and refuses to admit it, won’t this be over?
After all, it would be too naive to try to bind the ninja with a contract.
“If you want to make people dare not violate the contract, you must have both benefits and threats.”
Danzo Shimura smiled faintly, “When I handed over the Tailed Beast Sealing Technique to them, I can make it clear and straightforward that if they dare to violate the contract, then when the war breaks out, Konoha will not care about it and will only pursue the Sunagakure and Iwagakure ninjas! ”
“We will even deliver the Nine-Tails directly to the base camps of the two ninja villages for a desperate attack!”
Danzo Shimura clenched his cane with both hands, his eyes full of murderous intent.
“If they don’t keep their word, Konoha will be dead anyway. If they are not afraid of Konoha dragging them down, they will just take the money and do nothing!”
“Duanzo, this method works!”
After hearing these murderous words, the other three people’s faces were filled with emotion.
The feasibility of Shimura Danzo’s plan can be said to be very high. If this method is followed, it might be possible to turn defeat into victory and catch Kumogakure and Kirigakure villages by surprise.
Danzo Shimura’s ambition is not only to crush the alliance’s attack, he also wants to take this opportunity to severely damage Kumogakure and Kirigakure villages. If possible, he even wants to destroy these two villages. !
After all, if Konoha has always been the number one in the ninja world, then it is foreseeable that this four-nation alliance will definitely happen again.
So it’s better to get it over with and eliminate Yunyin Village and Kirigakure Village directly, so that there will be no worries.
But this is not the safest thing. Of course, the safest thing is for another ninja like Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara to appear in Konoha, so as to ensure the long-term peace and stability of Konoha.
In other words, as long as the Wood Release or the Mangekyo Sharingan appears again, Konoha can sit back and relax.
Fortunately, Orochimaru’s wooden escape experimental plan has already produced results.
The Uzumaki tribesman named Uzumaki Sankai who came to Konoha with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Michiko, had successfully awakened the Wood Release in Orochimaru’s experiment.
And if there is a feasible way to awaken this wood escape, Danzo Shimura might not be able to awaken this first blood successor in Konoha!
“Wood Release + Mangekyou, the power of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, the two top ninjas in the ninja world, are combined into one. I will probably become the two transcendants by then, a powerful ninja comparable to the Sage of Six Paths, right?”
Shimura Danzo couldn’t help but touch his right eye, feeling the silent kaleidoscope hidden under the bandage, and his emotions became increasingly high.
“If I have that strength, then I, Danzo Shimura, will definitely lead Konoha to greatness again!”
