People raise Hokage in Yunyin

When the night was dark and windy, a figure came out of the small building.

Simply bypassing the surrounding patrol sights, Hibiscus followed the information given by the intelligence personnel and headed towards the hinterland of Konoha.

Today was their second day in Konoha, and the experience of the day could be said to be uneventful.

There are still three days until the Joint Chuunin Examination, and we can see the small ninja villages entering Konoha one after another.

The small building where Hibiscus lives is only inhabited by people from the three ninja villages of Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure, while those such as Kusanagi, Rain ninja, etc. live in many houses nearby that obviously look of inferior standards.

As for Konoha's good ally Kirigakure, no one has seen them show up until now. There are rumors that they live in a location with the best specifications close to the Hokage Building.

The only pity is that although I accompanied Naruto to wander around Konoha today, I didn't see any familiar Konoha genin. They seemed to be undergoing intense final training in various places.

Hibiscus is quite looking forward to the meeting between Naruto and Sasuke...

At this moment, Hibiscus is walking in the streets and alleys of Konoha, and the shadow has become his good friend, wandering around Konoha as if he is in no one's land.

‘Although we have been told not to go out at night, we don’t seem to care too much? ’

Hibiscus felt the sparse defense around her and made some assumptions in her mind.

Maybe he will be closely watched in the Hokage Building or other important places, but fortunately, his destination has nothing to do with these.

While walking on the road, he was thinking about other issues.

The two purposes of coming to Konoha were already on the way to meet Kurama, but the other one had not yet figured out how to proceed.

'Is it possible that I should go and tell Naruto myself? ’

‘No, no. ’ Hibiscus shook her head and rejected her idea.

At least this evil guy can't do it!

It would be great if Danzo were to be the villain and comfort Naruto when he was in distress!

Is there any way to expose the wounds yourself and then comfort them yourself?

'Should I find a way to reveal some information and let Danzo know...'

Hibiscus was secretly feeling sad. It was really uncomfortable for her opponent's level to be too low. He didn't seem to be completely sure of the direction for so many years. Or could it be that Danzo no longer cared about whether there were jinchūriki or not?

However, there are advantages. After visiting around in the past two days, Hibiscus has determined that Naruto has a very bad impression of the current Konoha.

It is huge and strong, and seems to accommodate all things, but it is also full of contradictions and fragmentation. From an outsider's perspective, Konoha at this time is strong and lush. The flow of merchants is far greater than before, and the number of tasks received is much higher than before. The completion rate leads the way.

But if you look deeply inside, you can feel the sense of occlusion and pain that goes deep inside. It is difficult to see joy in most aspects. They may be proud of the overall strength, but they cannot be aware of the current situation. Satisfied with the environment.

‘If this were not the case, how could we take advantage of it? ’

With a sarcastic smile, Hibiscus landed in a small courtyard.

Because they have made great contributions to Konoha, the Kurama clan is in a pretty good position, but because they have been running around on the battlefield for too long and the population has been reduced too much, they inevitably look deserted.

Many houses in the outer ring are abandoned, and only a few bungalows in the inner ring are still inhabited.

Hibiscus moved forward gently and approached the house where the clan leader lived.

dong dong! ! !

He knocked lightly on the door and made a low muffled sound.

As soon as the sound rang out, the door in front of him opened a crack.

An old man appeared behind the door, the candle in his hand glowing bright red.

Hibiscus lowered her head slightly, letting the faint firelight illuminate the Yunyin mark on her forehead.

With a bit of nervousness, the old man quickly opened the door, looking around with his eyes alertly, and at the same time stepped aside to signal Hibiscus to come in quickly.

Hibiscus turned slightly sideways and squeezed in through the half-open door.

The door closed, and the old man in front of him seemed to be relieved. He said nothing, holding the candle in his hand to lead the way.

Go forward along the narrow corridor and walk all the way to the innermost room.

There are simply a few bookcases in the room, and a desk is close to the bookcase. The messy pages of books on the tabletop and the smooth and dust-free bookcase can clearly show the frequent use of the owner.

After a simple operation, the bookcase opened to the side, revealing the secret passage hidden underneath.

The secret passage went all the way down, not knowing where it led, so Hibiscus walked towards the secret passage under the leadership of the old man.

As the two people walked in, the empty study returned to its original state.

Hibiscus' expression remained unchanged, she had already had a premonition in her heart.

For a ninja family like this, there are more or less secret rooms and secret passages in the home, so it would be surprising if there were none at all.

Moving forward, across the deep darkness, the two of them arrived at a well-kept open space, where several middle-aged people were waiting.

When we got here, the old man who led the way seemed to be relieved.

He blew out the candle in his hand, and the small secret room was illuminated by a chandelier.

"I, Kurama Joichi, am the former head of the Kurama clan, and my behavior just now was very offensive."

He bowed slightly to apologize.

The person in front of him gradually matched the information in Hibiscus intelligence.

Kurama Joichi seemed to be the first person to make a move, and he was the one who ultimately promoted the implementation of this plan. It can be said that he was the most determined person among everyone present.

"This is Inuko Kurama Masato, the current leader of the Kurama clan."

He pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and gave a brief introduction to Hibiscus.

After the simple greetings, Hibiscus went directly to the topic.

"Our Kurama clan now has five families left, and there are only 18 people in total. Through insinuations, we have been able to confirm that everyone is willing and willing to leave Konoha together."

Kurama Joichi was unambiguous and told the situation directly.

"so little?"

Although she had known about it for a long time, Mu Jin still didn't expect that there were less than twenty people left in the clan.

"Yes," there was a bit of bitterness in the old man's eyes, "In the past, the 1st generation called for the ninja clan to merge into Konoha, and the Senju clan disintegrated and merged into Konoha. At that time, many members of our clan who could not awaken the blood inheritance were deeply moved. , decided to follow what Hokage-sama did and also abandon his surname and join Konoha."

"In subsequent wars, our clan suffered heavy casualties, and before we knew it, there were only so many people left..."

He had always regretted not being able to revitalize the Ninja clan when he was the clan leader.

According to his observation, if Konoha stays today, it may not take many years before the whole of Konoha will be forced to "merge" into Konoha.

Rather than staying in Konoha, which is not taken seriously, it would be better to go to Kumogakure to make a living elsewhere, especially since I heard that Kumogakure has a way to increase the awakening of their clan's blood successors.

"Then what do you think about this plan?"

The Kurama clan was suddenly eager to leave Konoha, apparently discovering some secret situation.

The people in front of them looked at each other, and finally it was the clan leader who spoke.

"Recently, the security force in Konoha has been greatly weakened, and the number of patrolling ninjas has also been greatly reduced. Many ninjas have disappeared. Moreover, the Hokage has been secretly summoning ninjas recently. Several young people from our clan have also been summoned many times. We were excused by us."

Kurama Masato was a little uneasy. This kind of large-scale mobilization of ninjas, gathering a large number of forces and hiding it from others was, in a sense, a precursor to war.

Secret and huge, it is exactly the beginning of the surprise attack.

Many ninjas have a vague hunch that Danzo is quite dissatisfied with the current stalemate.

If a war breaks out at this time, what can be expected is that many small tribes who are alien to Danzang will probably perish in the millstone of war.

And this kind of demise will be the general trend, and it is something that everyone except the victims is happy to see.

If one clan's sacrifice is too great, other clans can reduce their casualties.

The reason is simple, but Kurama is afraid of becoming the sacrificed part.

They desperately wanted to leave this war mill, and the agreement with Kumogakure also included a requirement not to participate in the war within the past five years.

'Does Konoha want to start a war...'

Hibiscus is thoughtful, this is an idea that Yunyin has had for a long time.

Konoha is undoubtedly full of contradictions today, so war is undoubtedly a good way to transform internal contradictions into external contradictions.

This Chunin Examination is likely to be the beginning of the war.

Various ninja villages came to participate at any risk, partly because they wanted to test Konoha's reputation. If possible, they could form allies with Konoha to avoid being attacked head-on at the beginning of the war.

This is also the reason why Rasa looked ugly yesterday when she heard that Kirigakure had a different residence.

"You don't have to worry too much. When the chunin exams are over, other ninja villages will leave Konoha, and the flow of people will be mixed. We will take advantage of that time to evacuate. The Raikage and his troops are waiting at the border of the Land of Fire."

Hibiscus comforted everyone present and briefly revealed part of the plan to them.

After chatting for a while, Hibiscus collected more information about Konoha's current situation from the Kurama clan.

‘I want to take advantage of the ample time and implement my plan as soon as possible! ’
