Mixed in the Hokage cultivation road

Chapter 265: Frustrated Danzo, Turmoil in Yugakure

Danzo, the new Hokage, is also very tired.

Although he sat on the throne of Hokage as he wished, the current Konoha can't even be described as strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

There are very few strong people inside, and there are no more than four people who can reach the shadow-level combat power.

He counts as one, Uchiha Yamashiro counts as one, the Jinchūriki Uzumaki Kushina counts as one, and Namikaze Minato who masters space ninjutsu counts as one.

Minato Namikaze is growing very fast. He is about to turn 18 and is about to reach the threshold of Kage level. But in terms of combat power, he may be the strongest in Konoha now.

Being able to reach the level of Kage at this age with the help of the Six Paths Sage's theft is already a top talent.

Danzo Uchiha Yamashiro could not be controlled by him, and the relationship between them was very bad, especially during the reign of Sarutobi Hiruzen, when Danzo helped Sarutobi Hiruzen to trouble the Uchiha clan.

Uzumaki Kushina also had a bad impression of him and could only cooperate with him reluctantly, but when she got angry, she would not give Danzo any face at all.

The only person Danzo could order around was Minato Namikaze, but Danzo felt that he had no control over Minato Namikaze.

Danzo, who had always been suppressed in a dark corner by Sarutobi Hiruzen and only knew how to use conspiracies and tricks, was still a little uncomfortable when he suddenly stood in the sun.

Many of his ideas need to be changed. The position of Hokage is not as simple as Danzo, who has been in the dark for so long, thinks.

Although the various ninja clans chose him to be the Hokage, their cooperation with him was not very close.

Danzo was just a person chosen by the major ninja clans to take the blame. At that time, Konoha did lack a ninja with strength and reputation to serve as Hokage.

And Uchiha Yamashiro gave up on his own initiative, so they had no choice but to choose Danzo as their only option.

It's not like they haven't thought about choosing a Jinchuriki to be the Hokage.

But the Jinchūriki Kushina is too young and has a bad temper. Her control over the Nine-Tails needs to be strengthened. Although her strength is okay, she is not good in other aspects.

Choosing Kushina as Hokage was not a good idea, as they eventually overthrew her themselves.

As for Minato Namikaze, although he possessed space ninjutsu and was quite powerful, he was still too young. His strength had not yet reached the level of Kage, and his reputation was not enough, so he was not nominated.

Danzo is the last choice, a general among the short ones, so we’ll have to use him for now.

Anyway, it is hard to say what the future situation of the ninja world will be like, and many ninjas in Konoha are secretly looking for a way out.

For the current Konoha, it can no longer withstand major changes, and Danzo is well aware of this. He must try his best to gain the cooperation of the major ninja clans, even at the cost of many benefits.

If he can't unite the Konoha Ninja Clan and can't make them obey his orders, then Danzo, the Hokage, is destined to achieve nothing.

So with the help of Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, Danzo also began to change his style of doing things. After a few months, he managed to maintain the situation and avoided any blatant lip service.

But Danzo was very tired. The mess in Konoha was no longer the same as before. Without the strong ruling power, it could not support his ambitions at all.

The recent rebellion of the Hyuga clan branch in Konoha has also come to an end. The hopes of the Hyuga main family have been dashed, and even the Konoha Hyuga clan has to face the threat of the rebellious branch ninjas.

Danzo is so confused that he can't just change the village to another one. Not only did the status of the former largest ninja village in the ninja world be robbed, but people were also poached by the village of Hell in large numbers!

Konoha and Kirigakure can be considered to be brothers in distress.

Today, news came from the ninjas sent to Amegakure to carry out the mission that the Soul Ninja Village had also gotten involved, which made Danzo even more annoyed.

The Dark Ninja Village went to Amegakure, not to help Hanzo like them. After the establishment of the country, the Dark Ninja Village finally couldn't help but show its fangs. In fact, Danzo's heart, the Dark Ninja Village's idea of ​​unifying the ninja world is very much in favor, because he has always wanted to destroy the four major ninja villages and let Konoha dominate the ninja world.

When it comes to ending the endless war, Danzo and the Ninja Village have the same idea.

It's just that their positions are different. He has no choice, and he can't let go of his greed for power, and he is even more unwilling to be a younger brother of the Ninja Village.

He had fantasized countless times in his mind that if Hinata really chose him, he would definitely be no worse than Orochimaru.

However, his vision was too poor and he had a loophole in his mind, so he was easily controlled by Sarutobi Hiruzen. Although Hinata knew that Danzo's ambition was similar to that of the Ninja Village, he still looked down on him.

Because Danzo's methods are too crude, he only knows how to use some conspiracies and tricks, which are really not worthy of being shown on the public eye.

Yugakure, Hanzo and the elites sent by the three major ninja villages are discussing the battle plan.

Hanzo also knew that the Ninja Village sent people to support Akatsuki. Not only did Akatsuki have a stalker in Amegakure, but Hanzo also had one in Akatsuki.

Hanzo is actually very panicked now. The strength and status of the Soul Ninja Village are not boasted, but are earned through hard work.

I didn't expect that while I was clearing out the internal hidden dangers of Yuyin, I would attract such a huge monster.

It would be strange if he wasn't panicking, because the current Hanzo was no longer the ambitious demigod he was ten years ago. Not only was he greedy for power, but his strength was also no longer what it used to be.

Fortunately, the number of support sent by the Ninja Village was not large. According to the report of the spies, there were only eight people.

It's just that we don't know who they are specifically, except that we know that Jiraiya is the leader, and the others are all wearing masks of the Ninja Village, but judging from their aura, they should not be weak.

Jiraiya did not expose Ye Cang and Man Yue. After all, they were now well-known ninjas in the ninja world. Jiraiya could guess without any hesitation that there would be Hanzo spies inside Akatsuki.

In order not to add unnecessary burden to his mission, Jiraiya simply hid the identities of everyone.

If the three major ninja villages knew that the Dark Ninja Village had sent out three Kage-level fighters at once, they would definitely suspect that the Dark Ninja Village had some inappropriate thoughts and might even send a large number of reinforcements, increasing the difficulty of the mission.

Hanzo discussed for a long time but could not come up with any feasible plan. In the end, he decided to have a fight first, otherwise he would not be sure what level of combat power the Ninja Village had sent out.

Although Hanzo was a little worried, he took into account the seven quasi-kage-level warriors sent by the three major ninja villages to assist him, plus two kage-level warriors himself and the great elder, as well as the three quasi-kage fighters of Yugakure.

In terms of overall strength, they completely crushed the Akatsuki organization. Except for the support from the Ninja Village which was a variable, other problems were not major.

This battle is inevitable. It will come sooner or later anyway. Hanzo suppressed his inner uneasiness and chose to go to war with Akatsuki directly!
He personally assembled a large force and headed straight for Akatsuki's lair in the Land of Rain.

Xiao received the news quickly and prepared for battle immediately.

The battle that will determine the final fate and direction of Yuyin has officially begun! Akatsuki also began to step onto the stage of ninja history.

In this battle, the difference in the number of ninjas between the two sides was not too big. The number of Akatsuki ninjas was 70% to 80% of that of Amegakure Hanzo, so the difference in the base number of ninjas was not big.

In terms of high-level combat power, Amegakure cannot completely crush Akatsuki. Even with the combined efforts of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, even Hanzo is not completely confident.

The three of them already have strength comparable to the three ninjas who fought against Hanzo, especially Yahiko, who has already entered the late stage of the quasi-kage level and is close to the peak.

Otherwise, Hanzo would not have brought in external aid to destroy them, because he really did not have enough confidence, unless Hanzo was willing to put all his forces into a fight to the death.
