Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide! - Chapter 267
c266 The East Continent is exposed, Konan comes to the door
“What are you…doing?”
Shimura Danzo looked at the right hand that pierced his chest in disbelief, and subconsciously wanted to activate the “Susanoo” ability of the right eye’s Mangekyo to imprison Hatake Kakashi in space.
However, with Kakashi’s “Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique”, Shimura Danzo’s plan was completely vain.
“Wood Release? How could you have it…”
If he had expected Hatake Kakashi’s rebellion, the Wood Release at this time really made him panic.
In the current ninja world, only Orochimaru has mastered the transplantation technology of Hashirama’s cells. Hatake Kakashi can master Wood Release, which means that Orochimaru, who he thought was his confidant, may betray him. How could Shimura Danzo not be furious?
“Nothing is impossible. Don’t forget that as your bodyguard, I used to go in and out of the Wood Release laboratory frequently.”
Looking at Shimura Danzo’s unbelievable eyes, Hatake Kakashi dug out his eyes neatly.
“Things like Hashirama’s cells, as long as you use your brain and be a little cautious, it’s not difficult for me to get them. As for the success rate of the Wood Release experiment plan…”
When he said this, Kakashi’s face was uncharacteristic, and he rarely showed a mocking smile.
“As long as you have enough hatred in your heart, then all this is not a problem.”
Kakashi looked at Shimura Danzo who seemed to want to say something, and squeezed his right hand hard, and easily crushed his heart.
“Damn… How can I fall on the eve of success…”
Shimura Danzo still didn’t give up, and grabbed with both hands randomly, as if he wanted to grab a life-saving straw.
Looking at Shimura Danzo who fell in front of him, stretching out his palms weakly as if to grab something, Kakashi’s face flashed with relief, and then he left the Hokage’s office with a pair of Mangekyō.
It was not until a long time later that the Anbu ninja found something wrong, and after entering the office, he found that Shimura Danzo had died.
At the critical moment of Konoha’s survival, Shimura Danzo, the Hokage, died suddenly in his office. This incident undoubtedly made everyone who knew the news know that Konoha was doomed.
Inside Konoha, people were in panic.
——
At this time, the spies of other ninja villages also found out that Kizuki Shingetsu had returned to the Kirigakure camp.
When the leaders of other ninja villages arrived at the Kirigakure camp, as soon as they entered the tent, they saw Uzumaki Michiko and Uchiha Madara lying on the ground.
“This is… Konoha’s Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? Who is the other one?”
Chiyo identified the corpse on the ground and looked at Uchiha Madara with a puzzled look.
At this time, Uchiha Madara’s sacred tree chakra had been completely lost, and his entire appearance had returned to his original old face. Chiyo, who had never dealt with Uchiha Madara, naturally could not recognize the identity of the corpse.
At this time, Ohnoki had an unbelievable look in his eyes. He lay close to Uchiha Madara and looked up and down at his body.
“Is this… Uchiha Madara?”
The fact that he and his teacher were humiliated by Uchiha Madara when he was young was a pain that he would never forget in his life.
The memory engraved in his bones, after a short period of overlap, instantly made him recognize the identity of the person in front of him.
“Yes, these two are the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Uchiha Madara!”
Kizuki Shingetsu sat on the main seat with a big horse and a golden sword, without any intention of losing his strength, but his behavior was more arrogant than before.
Now he only has the strength of a jonin, and he wants to use this fierce record to severely intimidate the several shadows present.
Ohnoki and Chiyo looked at each other, trying to suppress their inner surprise, and then sat in their seats to listen to the whole story of Kizuki Shingetsu’s battle with the two.
“…So that’s how it is. Uchiha Madara is not only alive, but has been lurking in the ninja world?”
After hearing this, Ohnoki looked at Uchiha Madara with a complicated expression on his face.
If he knew that Uchiha Madara was still alive, given the grudge between them, Ohnoki would have to join this battle.
“What about Uzumaki Nagato? We all watched Uzumaki Nagato leave with you at the beginning. Now there are the bodies of these two people. I guess Uzumaki Nagato must have been killed by Master Kizuna, right?”
At this time, Chiyo suddenly pointed out a problem that everyone had ignored before.
“Uzumaki Nagato has been captured by me.”
In response, Kizuna Shingetsu, who wanted to bluff, also admitted it very happily.
“So that means that the Samsara Eye has now fallen into your hands?”
The fourth generation Raikage’s eyes flickered, and he asked this key question directly.
Hearing the fourth generation Raikage ask this, Chiyo and Ohnoki’s eyes instantly focused on Kizuna Shingetsu, looking forward to his answer.
“Yes, the Samsara Eye is in my hand right now… What, Lord Raikage, are you trying to steal my spoils?”
Faced with this question, Kizuna Shingetsu didn’t hesitate and directly took out a glass bottle from her arms to admit it.
There was no other way. Since the matter had come to this, and he had already admitted that Uzumaki Nagato was captured by him, and because of his weakened strength, he could not hide his achievements, he might as well show this thing openly and perform the “empty city plan”.
Not only that, Kizuna Shingetsu also stood up, took the glass bottle and walked to the side of the Fourth Raikage, handed it to the Fourth Raikage’s face, and asked him with a smile.
“Lord Raikage, do you want to try and see if you can snatch it from me?”
Kizuna Shingetsu was gambling, betting that his previous prestige and his record of killing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Uchiha Madara head-on and capturing the Samsara Eye would make everyone present fear him.
Looking at the glass test tube in front of him, the Fourth Raikage remained calm on the surface, but in fact, he could no longer suppress his desire in his heart and wanted to reach out and grab the glass bottle.
But when he thought of the powerful strength that Hozuki Shingetsu had shown when competing for the position of leader, and the two cold bodies lying motionless on the ground not far away, all the ambitions of the Fourth Raikage were extinguished like a wildfire extinguished by cold water, and there was no movement.
However, it was definitely impossible to get him to soften his words. In this case, he could only snort coldly, turn his head away, and pretend that he didn’t hear it.
“Didn’t we discuss at the beginning of the establishment of the alliance that whoever won the spoils would own it… This Samsara Eye is naturally the spoils of the Kirigakure Village, and we have no objection.”
Chiyo tried to smooth things over at this time.
Konoha was about to be destroyed, and she didn’t want to cause any disagreements within the final alliance because of this matter.
As of now, the combat power of the Sand Village is undoubtedly the last one. Don’t worry about the position of leader and the Samsara Eye. With their strength, they are definitely not enough to get involved.
And the Samsara Eye falling into Hozuki Shingetsu’s hands is also a bad thing for the Sand Village.
First of all, the distance between the two villages meant that it was impossible for the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village to go to war immediately. Secondly, in Chiyo’s eyes, the Hidden Mist Village, which had not exposed the East Continent, was not as strong as the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village.
So, apart from the issue of strength, instead of competing with the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village for the Samsara Eye that was destined not to fall into the hands of the Hidden Sand Village, it would be better to destroy Konoha in peace and then bite off a big piece of fat meat from Konoha and put it in the bag.
With Chiyo’s lead and the silence of the Fourth Raikage, the matter of the Samsara Eye trophy belonging to the Hidden Mist Village was tacitly agreed by everyone.
“Then next, we should discuss when to launch a general attack and destroy Konoha…”
Kizuki Shingetsu looked at this scene with satisfaction, but just when he wanted to take advantage of the victory and command the alliance to pursue the victory, he suddenly saw Yagura Kuji walk in with a calm face and whispered a few words in his ear.
Hearing the report from Yagura, Hozuki Shingetsu’s heart suddenly sank, but before he could speak, he saw ninjas coming in one after another, holding a piece of paper in their hands, walking to their leaders and whispering to them.
While speaking, he also signaled Hozuki Shingetsu with his eyes.
“What? East Continent? Are you sure it’s as big as the Ninja World Continent?”
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the Fourth Raikage suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly in the tent while looking at the paper in his hand.
And this shout also made the originally harmonious atmosphere in the tent become weird.
Six years have passed since the official development of the East Continent. Because it involves a large number of personnel transfers and material exchanges, to be honest, Hozuki Shingetsu has already prepared for the leakage of the East Continent, but never expected that it would be leaked at this time.
In fact, the source of the leak was Minato Namikaze. When he assassinated the Daimyo of the Land of Water, he also slaughtered all the guards that Hozuki Shingetsu had arranged. He accidentally learned about the East Continent when he used illusion to interrogate the intelligence of the Hidden Mist Village.
After getting this news, he wanted to find out more information and report it to Shimura Danzo, but because of Shimura Danzo’s “sudden death”, he could only add some hearsay content to these propaganda leaflets and treat them with their own methods. Sprinkle it on the coalition camp.
He knew that Konoha was in a precarious situation at this time, but Hozuki Shingetsu was also envied by everyone because of his strong strength. As long as he threw out the bait of the East Continent at this time and exaggerated the richness of the East Continent, such as a continent flowing with milk and honey, it would inevitably arouse the hostility of other ninja villages towards the Hidden Mist Village.
At that time, in order to prevent the Hidden Mist Village from becoming stronger, Konoha would have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
“I wonder what Master Hozuki thinks of this East Continent?”
In this strange atmosphere, Ohnoki was the first to speak out and attacked Hozuki Shingetsu.
The Land of Earth is mostly mountainous and hilly, with very little arable land. It can be said that the Land of Earth is the country with the greatest demand for land and territory besides the Land of Wind.
The existence of the East Continent has long been circulated in the Ninja World, but because of the existence of the natural storm, there was little communication between the two continents.
But if the words on the promotional leaflet are true, it means that the Hidden Mist Village has found a way to cross the natural barrier on a large scale.
This means that such a country that is as vast as the Ninja Continent, but has no strong enemies, is placed in front of everyone in the Ninja World. How can he not want to get a piece of the pie?
“Eastern Continent? What Eastern Continent? We in Kirigakure have never heard of it.”
Of course, Kizuna Shingetsu knew what to say and what not to say. Before, he could show off his muscles in order to gain power. But at this time, he must not expose the fact that Kirigakure had already colonized the Eastern Continent.
So in order to divert everyone’s attention, Kizuna Shingetsu still brought up Konoha.
“It’s just some tricks that Konoha used to alienate us… Let’s go back and see when to attack Konoha.”
But the people present were not stupid. Even if Kizuna Shingetsu denied it, they only needed to recall the development progress of Kirigakure in recent years based on the time nodes on the promotional leaflet, and they could roughly understand the information on the promotional leaflet.
So all of a sudden, the attitude of the ninja villages towards Konoha suddenly reversed.
With the East Continent as a support, if Konoha is wiped out again, then with the current age and strength of Kizuki, the next few decades will definitely belong to Kizuki Village.
Even due to the geographical location of the East Continent and Kizuki Village, the threat of Kizuki Village is greater than that of Konoha.
After defeating Konoha, they ushered in a more powerful Kizuki, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to the other ninja villages.
So on the matter of wiping out Konoha, the ninja villages thought about it for a while and made a decision to oppose it.
“Konoha is now a bird in a cage and a turtle in a jar, but the more times like this, the more we must prevent them from jumping over the wall and dragging us into the water… I suggest that we should surround them instead of annihilating them, and launch a psychological offensive against them, and strive to take them down without bloodshed.”
Onoki’s words won the unanimous approval of Chiyo and the Fourth Raikage. Facing the threat of Kizuki, they can still do this, which is enough to show the degree of shock to them that Kizuki Village occupied the East Continent.
Unless Kizuki fights them with real swords and guns, Konoha will definitely not be wiped out.
So the first meeting after the war ended in such an atmosphere.
“Since the East Continent has been exposed, it is estimated that Konoha’s international situation is now like the Hidden Mist Village in the near future… In this case, we have to think about how to dismember Konoha in advance.”
Kizuki left the tent and pondered.
But as soon as he returned to the tent, he noticed something wrong.
“Who gave you the courage to come to me with these scraps of paper?”
Looking at the scraps of paper that kept sticking to her body in the tent, Kizuki turned her head calmly and looked at Konan who was standing next to her.
“Don’t talk nonsense, hand over Nagato quickly!”
Konan looked cold, pointed the paper kunai in her hand at Kizuki’s eyebrows, and threatened.
“You can hand him over. After all, he is of no use to me now… But what do you want to exchange for him?”
Kizuki looked up and down at Xiaonan’s body and smiled in a standard situation.
