Ninja World No. 2, Konoha 18rd year.

Under the leadership of Tobirama No. 2.

The Leaf Village had already destroyed the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village, saved the entire Uzumaki clan, and, under the pretext of war, destroyed the main forces of the Sand Village and the Mist Village.

Finally, with the help of the large number of Byakugan funded by Mr., No. 2 Tobirama successfully fused and transplanted the Rinnegan, gaining the powerful strength of the quasi-Six Paths level, and fought a fierce battle with No. 2 double Rinnegan Madara in the Hidden Mist Village.

Although he was defeated in the end, he also destroyed the entire Kirigakure Village and reached a settlement agreement with No. 2 Madara.

Up to now, in the entire No. 2 Ninja World, except for the Sand Village, which is still independent on the surface, and a bunch of small countries and villages that previously surrendered to and depended on Konoha Village, there is almost no one who can withstand the power of Tobirama and Konoha Village.

Although he suffered a setback at first, he had to admit that the current Tobirama No. 2 was much stronger and more powerful than Tobirama No. 1.

With the situation so favorable, even the elderly No. 2 Tobirama seemed to have a second spring in his life, becoming more energetic and stronger.

However, without the protection of his elder brother Hashirama, Tobirama still had many concerns when facing Madara.

Fortunately, in recent times, Madara has transferred a large number of research equipment and resources to the moon.

Using the facilities and experimental subjects left behind by the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, he has been quietly working on a plan to resurrect Izuna.

He no longer had any worldly desires. He only wanted to revive Izuna and make up for what he owed his brother and the entire Uchiha clan.

Then, whether it is to resurrect Hashirama or to go to the Pure Land to accompany Hashirama, it can be considered that his wish has been fulfilled.

Thanks to this, Tobirama does not have to worry too much about the obstacles from Madara for the time being, and can devote himself to the main goal of unifying the ninja world.

It’s just that the unification is completely completed.

Tobirama still had a problem to deal with.

That was after he knew that another younger self of No. 1 Ninja World had been teased and humiliated, he decided to get rid of the enemy first!

To this end, he has already made a plan.

……

...

At the same time, in the Sand Village of the Wind Country.

Things haven't been easy lately.

Previously, the second generation Kazekage Samon led a large number of main forces from the Sand Village to attack. On the surface, he was going to help Konoha, but in fact he intended to reap the benefits.

The result was that almost the entire group was wiped out by the manual version of the Tenkai Zhenxing created by Madara.

Even if a small number of them managed to escape, it would still have severely damaged the Sand Village. Coupled with the new round of struggle for the succession to the Kazekage, the village was further turbulent.

Even though Chiyo relied on the backup plan left by Shamon and the support of Danzo and others, she quickly suppressed the rebellion and successfully succeeded to the position of the Third Kazekage.

But it still couldn't offset the huge losses before.

In addition, the power of Konoha Village has become increasingly terrifying during this period, even the other large group headed by the Hidden Mist Village that was originally against it.

Now, with the destruction of the Hidden Mist Village, it is rapidly falling apart and collapsing.

So much so.

Even though a consensus has not been reached yet, in the eyes of a few sharp-eyed ninjas, there is almost no force in the entire ninja world that can still confront Konoha Village.

As long as Senju Tobirama is willing, even the feat of unifying the world may be possible.

Based on this understanding, it is inevitable that panic will occur.

Especially in the Sand Village, a country with a harsh environment and a belief that the strong are respected, many villagers and lower-level ninjas have begun to quietly flee the village.

No one likes to spend the last moment on a ship that is destined to sink.

In particular, the Sand Village's ship was clearly in tatters and riddled with holes, practically doomed to destruction.

Let me put it in a more unpleasant way.

Even now, Konoha Village only needs to formally declare war on Sand Village, and it doesn't even need to send troops to attack.

I guess the people in Sand Village would be scared half to death, and even more than half of the ninjas and villagers would choose to flee without fighting.

By then, the Sand Village would have collapsed without a fight.

Regarding this increasingly serious deteriorating trend, the current Third Kazekage Chiyo was so anxious that he was scratching his head and face, and was furious.

But even if all the wisdom of the Sand Village was used up, Chiyo could not find any solution to the problem during this period.

The only way to slow down the deteriorating trend is to strengthen the control of entry and exit of the village, increase the rewards for tasks, improve the welfare of ninjas, and expand the enrollment of the Ninja Academy...

But to be frank, these methods are only temporary solutions and can only barely address the symptoms.

It still couldn't stop the spread of increasingly serious pessimistic and negative emotions within the entire Sand Village.

Because of this, Chiyo has been worried for a long time and has not had a good night's sleep.

Even with Danzo-kun's day and night "ancient massage treatment", the effect is becoming increasingly weakened.

As for the young man Danzo himself, who had already gone undercover as a high-ranking official in the Sand Village, he was equally impatient.

There was no way, he had already sent several secret letters to Teacher Tobirama recently.

I have been urging Mr. Tobirama to close the net as soon as possible!

With a high-level undercover like me, we only need to coordinate inside and outside efforts to take over the entire Sand Village without bloodshed!

By then, he would be the biggest contributor to the annexation of Sand Village. With this achievement, he would definitely be able to compete with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

You know, Teacher Tobirama patted me on the shoulder, encouraged me sincerely, and had high hopes for me!

How could I let this expectation down?

Even if I feel a little sorry for Chiyo, Ebizo and the others in the end, I will definitely try my best to save their lives.

Besides, joining Konoha Village is not a bad thing.

How many ninjas have begged for it but couldn’t get it!

However, none of the secret letters Danzo had recently sent out had been approved by Tobirama-sensei.

Just let Danzo stay undercover and wait patiently...

wait?

Wait a damn!

I'm already a high-ranking member of the Sand Village. If I keep going, won't I eventually become a village elder, an advisor to the Kazekage, and finally sit on the throne of the Kazekage?

What I have always been looking forward to is the position of Hokage!

If it really becomes a wind shadow, what would that be?

Wouldn’t that monkey guy be laughing himself to death?

Finally, just when Danzo was about to give up, the latest instructions and mission information came from Konoha Village and Mr. Tobirama.

……

"Bam—!"

The door of the dean's office of the Sand Village Ninja Academy was quickly pushed open, and the Kazekage consultant Ebizo rushed into the room with a look of astonishment and urgency on his face.

"Danzo!"

"You should call him Dean, and refer to his position when he's working!"

Danzo slowly closed the file in his hand, already knowing the other party's intention.

"Something happened!"

"What's the big deal?"

"My sister...Lord Kazekage is looking for you! Let's go first, I'll explain to you on the way!" Ebizo hurriedly pulled up Dean Danzo and dragged him quickly towards the Kazekage Building.

Danzo: "Don't pull me, I know the way. Also, you can go this way to the Kazekage's office. I know a smaller path that's closer!"

Ebizo: ???

...

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the Kazekage's office.

On the way, Hai Lao Zang also briefly informed Dan Zang of the information.

At this moment, in the Kazekage's office, there were three other people besides the current Third Kazekage Chiyo.

Two elders from the Sand Village and an advisor to the Kazekage are all veterans who survived the era of the first Kazekage.

Although his power is not as strong as that of a Kage, he is still a leader among the elite jonin. In terms of seniority and power, he cannot be underestimated. He is almost comparable to the Hokage's advisor in Konoha Village.

But compared to the mighty Konohagakure and the leaders of the Root, they are still inferior.

After all, the Sand Village is still led by the Kazekage.

However, these top leaders of the Sand Village are all gathered here at the moment.

It can be seen that this is undoubtedly a confidential meeting of the Sand Village's high-level cabinet, an important negotiation that is enough to determine the future direction of the village.

Chiyo looked around, and finally her gaze fell on Danzo. The worry between her brows eased a little, and she spoke:

"Everyone is here, let's start!"

"Wait! Lord Kazekage. It's all right for Ebizo to join this meeting, but why does this Shimura Danzo join? Lord Kazekage has forgotten his origins..."

An elder from Sand Village frowned and questioned, obviously trying to suppress Danzo, but it was also for the safety of the entire Sand Village.

But before he could finish, Chiyo interrupted him loudly.

"Shut up! Danzo was personally appointed by me as the director of the Ninja Academy. His contributions to the entire village are obvious to all. At this time, I do not want to hear any more unfounded accusations like this. I will show no mercy to anyone who insists on destroying the unity within the village!"

As Chiyo gained power and handled government affairs day by day, the power and heroism accumulated in him became more and more vigorous.

The doubts of the Sand Village elder were suppressed immediately, making him keep silent and stop making trouble.

After all, no one has forgotten how the young Third Kazekage decisively suppressed and massacred those hostile factions through bloody means and thus ascended to the position of Kazekage.

"Let's get down to business. Danzo, do you know about that incident?"

Chiyo pushed a letter and a newspaper off the table in front of her.

It records the information that Ebizo just told Danzo.

Specifically: Three days ago, Konoha Village's Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, officially sent invitations to all nations and ninja villages, inviting everyone to attend the first "World's Greatest Ninja Tournament" to be held in Konoha Village fifteen days later.

"[The World's No. 1 Ninja Association]?"

"It should be a competition similar to the 'Chunin Joint Exam', but expanded to include more than just Chunin. Everyone, including Jonin, can participate, and it seems that there will be a final winner."

"What's the point of holding such a tournament for Konoha Village? Besides, who can defeat that old... Second Hokage? This Ninja Tournament, he must have been the one who came up with it, right? The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the like are nothing but puppets!"

Danzo questioned passionately, raising a lot of doubts.

Obviously, everyone knows that the mastermind behind planning this event must be Senju Tobirama himself.

I just don't know what his purpose is.

Chiyo explained, "The invitation stated that the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, will not be participating in the Ninja Tournament. He will only serve as a referee and host."

"As for his purpose in organizing this event? We have many speculations."

"Perhaps it was to take the opportunity to demonstrate Konoha Village's military power and intimidate the world."

"Or perhaps they wanted to lure the elite troops from each village over so they could seize the opportunity and wipe them out!"

"It could also be to discover talented ninjas from all over the ninja world and recruit them into Konoha Village..."

All in all, there are so many possibilities.

Lacking intelligence, they had no way of determining the truth.

"President Shimura, you've had the most contact with the Second Hokage and know him best. What do you think his purpose is in convening this Ninja Association?"

Another Kazekage advisor asked about Danzo. This was the main reason why he agreed with Chiyo-sama to include Danzo in this meeting. He wanted to hear the unique opinions of this former disciple of the Second Hokage.

In response to this, everyone turned their eyes to Danzo, expecting his constructive remarks.

Danzo thought for a moment and gave an answer:

"From what I know about the Second Hokage, he might want them all!"

"what?"

"He deliberately convened this ninja conference targeting the entire world. His purpose may be multiple. It can not only show the military strength of Konoha Village, but also discover new talented ninjas. He can also mark the targets of each village who are threats and unwilling to surrender, so that they can be eliminated!"

"What? He really dares to slaughter dissidents in front of the eyes of ninjas all over the world?"

"He really could do it! And looking around the world right now, who else can stop Konoha Village and the Second Hokage? At the very least, as long as he shows a threat in the Ninja Association, even if he doesn't attack them on the spot, Konoha Village might send people back to their homes disguised as bandits to rob and kill their targets!"

Danzo threatened with just the right amount of force.

Of course, it's not all intimidation.

If Danzo were in charge of this Ninja Tournament, he would definitely do the same. Eliminating all threats once and for all while strengthening his village, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Comparing himself with his teacher Tobirama, he would probably do the same!

"Damn it! This innately evil Senju Tobirama!"

"This Ninja Association is too vicious!"

"He wants to catch everyone in one fell swoop!"

"So, doesn't that mean this is some bullshit Ninja Association? If you go, you're doomed."

"No, I can't go to this damn Ninja Association. I can't put my life in the hands of Konoha Village!"

After hearing Danzo's speculation, everyone in the room was filled with righteous indignation. They all cursed Tobirama for being shameless and despicable, and unanimously agreed that he should not participate in this [World's No. 1 Ninja Association].

Even Ebizo, who was always cautious and wise, expressed his opposition.

But at this moment, Chiyo made the final decision:

“We have to participate!”

"Huh? Why? Lord Kazekage, please think twice!"

"Alas... because we have no right to refuse. The back of the invitation letter states that any country or village that refuses to participate in the Ninja Tournament will be regarded as declaring war on Konoha Village. After the Ninja Tournament ends, Konoha Village will immediately launch a campaign against them!"

Chiyo sighed helplessly, it was so difficult for her to be the Kazekage.

"what?"

“It’s actually written on the back?”

"You beast, Tobirama, he definitely did this on purpose!"

"Isn't he deliberately looking for trouble to start a war with other countries?"

"Damn it, that's despicable!"

"Then what should we do? Should we refuse to participate? That would give Konoha Village an excuse to attack us."

"Damn it! How could he do this? How could he be so overbearing? Forcing everyone to participate? This is unreasonable!"

Several people were furious and couldn't help cursing, wishing they could tear out the skin and tendons of Senju Tobirama who designed all this.

"Enough, stop barking like a dog. We should be discussing how to deal with this crisis instead of venting our anger by cursing. The Leaf Village is incredibly strong right now. If you have the guts, go and kill Tobirama Senju!!!"

Danzo's angry rebuke stopped the quarrel among several people.

He had no good feelings towards the Sunagakure high-ranking officials. He only needed to please Kazekage Chiyo. The others were of no concern to him.

What's more, although what he said was unpleasant, it was all true.

If everyone present could really kill Senju Tobirama, why would they need to argue? Simply unifying the ninja world would be enough.

"What Danzo said makes sense. Facing the Konoha Village, even if we know he did it on purpose, we have no right to refuse."

"Once we give them an excuse, the entire village will be destroyed."

Ebizo analyzed calmly.

"It seems that we have no choice but to participate in this Ninja Tournament!"

Chiyo nodded and made the final decision. As the Kazekage, she had to make the decision.

Faced with the huge gap in strength, she had no choice.
