Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

"This Hanyu Muyue is indeed not a simple person. No wonder Yagura lost in the first place. In addition to Orochimaru, Konoha has also prepared a trump card hidden in the dark for us." The Third Mizukage said with narrowed eyes.

“It’s really unexpected.”

The master nodded, understanding that the Third Mizukage had to have Yagura Karatachi succeed him.

More than a year has passed since Yagura Karuta was defeated, and the Third Mizukage still helps Yagura Karuta wash his mouth, which is enough to show how much the Third Mizukage values ​​him.

The other Kirigakure high-ranking officials echoed this.

"Although Iwagakure was defeated this time, Konoha also suffered some losses. I think we can send an assassination team to intensify the conflict between Iwagakure and Konoha. If Iwagakure can launch an all-out war with Konoha, it will be a good opportunity for us to take action." The squad leader of the Kirigakure Jounin Squad expressed his thoughts.

Family members know their own business. Kirigakure will definitely not be able to defeat Konoha on its own.

They had no intention of fighting Konoha head-on, but they not only had the idea of ​​stimulating other ninja villages to go to war with Konoha, but the idea was also very strong.

"So many people have died in Iwagakure, they must be very hostile to Konoha now."

"But now the Iwagakure troops have retreated. During this period, whether it is disguising as an Iwagakure ninja to kill a Konoha ninja, or disguising as a Konoha ninja to kill an Iwagakure ninja, it will easily arouse suspicion." A Kirigakure consultant raised the difficulty.

"Then wait. Unless Iwagakure and Konoha sign a peace treaty, war will break out sooner or later." The leader of the Kirigakure Jonin squad replied.

"In fact, it's not just Iwagakure. We can also start with other ninja villages. There are more than one big ninja village fighting with Konoha."

"Taketo's idea is very good. We in Kirigakure must take action." The Third Mizukage singled out Taketo Taota for praise.

Although he would not necessarily adopt Taketo Tonota's plan, Kirigakure really could not bear to watch it any longer.

If we continue to watch, if Konoha defeats Iwagakure and then Kumogakure and becomes the final winner, then Kirigakure will really have no hope of revenge.

You don't know until you fight. After the fight, the Third Mizukage discovered that their Kirigakure was the weakest among the five major ninja villages.

Now that you know you are lagging behind, the next thing you need to do is to catch up.

Even if he doesn't make any progress, he has to pull Konoha back and not let Konoha continue to become stronger.

After the meeting, Master Yuan returned home.

When instructing Mei Terumi and Zabuza, the Master reminded:

"You must hurry up and practice. It is only a matter of time before we, Kirigakure, join the war again. The next war may be even more intense than the last one."

Mei Terumi was stunned for a moment. According to the master, the top leaders had already decided to go to war with a certain ninja village, but they had not determined the specific time.

"Is it still Konoha?" Terumi asked thoughtfully, but ultimately did not speak.

This is a high-level secret, and she, an ordinary Mist Village jonin, is not qualified to know such things.

However, Mei Terumi was very worried because she felt that it would be really difficult for Kirigakure to win if they took Konoha as their opponent.

It's not that Mei Terumi boosts others' morale and destroys her own prestige, but that she has a very clear self-awareness through the Chunin Exam and the Martial Arts Tournament.

The top genius of their Hidden Mist Village would only be a slightly outstanding genius if they were placed in Konoha, and could not be compared with the likes of Might Guy, Hatake, and Kakashi.

……

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

"Ohnoki, you old man, you deserve this day."

Looking at the intelligence about the defeat of the Iwagakure Village, Luo Sha couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The Iwagakure Village and the Sand Village are old rivals. There are three small countries bordering the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, which are directly connected into a long line.

If it weren't for the special geographical environment on both sides, it would be a real headache for both sides.

Luo Sha did not forget that the Kumogakure ninja troops were ready to make a move near the Sand Village and Shigure Country and the Iwagakure ninja troops were ready to make a move.

If Sand Village had not withstood the offensive of Kumogakure, the chaotic battle among the three major ninja villages would not have taken place in the Land of Rain, but in the Land of Wind, in the Sand Village.

"Should we take advantage of this opportunity to send out troops?" Luo Sha looked thoughtful.

If they could inflict a crushing defeat on Iwagakure, then Sand Village would not only be able to get their revenge, but could also re-establish their reputation as one of the five major ninja villages.

Luo Sha recalled the situation in the Sand Village and finally shook his head.

Even if he wanted to fight, the other Sand Village leaders would never agree.

Because the current state of Sand Village is extremely bad, it is the weakest period since the establishment of Sand Village.

The disappearance of the Third Kazekage meant more to Sand Village than just the loss of a top-level strongman.

After the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, Sand Village fell into serious civil strife.

In order to compete for the position of Kazekage, powerful ninja clans and Sunagakure high-ranking officials used all kinds of means.

When it developed to its peak, assassination was nothing, and the leaders of various factions openly led large groups of ninjas to fight.

In a sense, Luo Sha has to thank Yunyin.

Because without the external pressure from Kumogakure, Rasa would not have been able to become the Fourth Kazekage so quickly.

Compared with the high-ranking officials and powerful ninja clans who have been operating in Sand Village for many years, Rasa's only advantage is his status as a disciple of the Third Kazekage.

He is the disciple who inherited the magnetic escape technique of the third Kazekage and is the most orthodox successor to the Kazekage.

No matter whether it is the Sunagakure high-level officials or the ninja clan, everything they have is in Sunagakure. Without Sunagakure, everything they have will disappear.

Under the life-and-death pressure brought by the Hidden Cloud Village, the ninja clan and their high-level officials had to compromise and let the most orthodox Rasa serve as the Kazekage and integrate the power of the Hidden Sand Village to deal with the crisis.

So Luo Sha is annoyed by people like Ye Cang who have the potential to become Kazekage.

He was very worried that one day, after the war was over, those compromised high-ranking officials would work together with the ninja clan to drive him out of office and support other ninjas to become Kazekage.

After all, the circumstances of his ascension to power were so special that they were probably unique in the entire ninja world.

"It would be great if Iwagakure could fight Konoha and both sides would suffer heavy losses." Rasa couldn't help but fantasize.

It is true that Sand Village is ruined, but if other big ninja villages are also ruined, then the Sand Village is equivalent to not being ruined.

Rasa longed for a victory, a victory in a war against a ninja village of the same level.

This way, it would be impossible for other senior officials to remove him from the position of Kazekage.

PS:

Yesterday, my college classmate came to see Xiaoju, and he had a midnight snack with her. He fell asleep at around four o'clock.

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t stayed up late for a while, but I felt inexplicably sleepy while writing today. If you have any questions, you can leave a message at the end of the chapter.

I wanted to take a leave, but I have persisted for so many days, so I still want to hold on until the end of the month.

Chapter 586 I am Uchiha Madara

After being promoted from captain of the Anbu to captain, for Mu Yue, who had no subordinates, the only real feeling was that his office in the Anbu had become bigger.

Mu Yue now has a large office similar to Sarutobi Masashige's.

"Yamanaka Yoshiaki, Aoyama Hiromichi..." Mu Yue was flipping through the information on the perception ninja given by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Perhaps because the Yamanaka clan has been practicing special secret techniques for a long time, Mu Yue discovered that many ninjas of the Yamanaka clan have the talent for perception.

Mu Yue recalled the panel with the corresponding names and ticked the names of the ninjas he thought might have learned the Observation Haki ninja.

When Mu Yue was looking through the information, he skipped over all the perception ninjas whose last name was Hyuga.

Due to the existence of the Byakugan Bloodline Limit, strictly speaking, all members of the Hyuga clan can be Perceptive Ninjas.

There is nothing wrong with Obito and Shisui, who have the Sharingan, learning Observation Haki, because Observation Haki can not only be used as a perception ninjutsu but also can detect attacks beyond vision.

There is no need for this with the Byakugan, as the Byakugan itself has excellent perception of ninjutsu and also has a 360-degree field of view.

In most cases where abilities overlap, unless one has cultivated his Observation Haki to a certain level, Observation Haki is not very necessary for a ninja with Byakugan.

After selecting twenty people, Mu Yue asked the Anbu to send the list to Sarutobi Hiruzen for review.

Many of the ninjas he chose worked in different departments such as the Perception Class and Analysis Class. It was impossible for them to stop working and come to practice with Mu Yue just because Mu Yue said so. They had to follow procedures.

Moreover, with so many people, it would be troublesome for Mu Yue to notify them one by one by himself. After all, he is the captain of the Anbu.

However, Mu Yue estimated that the final number of people might be more than the twenty on his list.

First, there are ANBU members on the list, but no Root members. Danzo Shimura must also want his subordinates to master the ability of Observation Haki, so at least two or three of them must be included.

Then, if other senior executives or big families get wind of the news, they will most likely use their connections to get people in to study as much as possible.

After all, the ability to sense malice is really useful.

Things developed just as Mu Yue expected.

That night, Mu Yue received a message from Danzo Shimura, asking him to go to the Root Base.

"Mu Yue, why isn't any of our Root ninja on the list of Observation Haki training?" Danzo Shimura looked at Mu Yue with a gloomy face.

He didn't mention this matter to Mu Yue specifically last time because he felt that Mu Yue didn't need to be reminded and would definitely get it done.

Seeing the final result, Danzo Shimura felt betrayed.

Because Mu Yue's current situation is very special and she often spends more time in the Hokage's office than in the Root base, Danzo Shimura is very worried that Mu Yue's mind will be corrupted by the benefits given by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But Danzo Shimura had no choice, because what Sarutobi Hiruzen could give to Mu Yue was better and more than him.

Mu Yue showed a blank expression, "There is no Root Ninja on the list given to me by the Sandaime."

He guessed that maybe some of Shimura Danzo's secret actions had been discovered, or maybe Shimura Danzo had been too aggressive in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen recently, otherwise Sarutobi Hiruzen would not have been idle and deliberately attacking Shimura Danzo.

"What! Hiruzen actually..."

Danzo Shimura realized that he had wronged his admiral, and his expression instantly improved a lot.

Of course, the anger in Shimura Danzo's heart did not really disappear, it was even greater, but the target was not nearby and he could not release it.

In other words, it's time to get off work now, otherwise Danzo Shimura would have rushed to the Hokage's office to find Sarutobi Hiruzen to ask him about it.

"Mu Yue, this is a half-year's worth of training resources." Shimura Danzo abruptly changed the subject and handed a scroll to Mu Yue.

Although he had wronged Mu Yue, it was impossible for Danzo Shimura to apologize to his subordinates.

Because he felt that this would damage his dignity and affect his subordinates' obedience to him.

It would be a mess if someone thought that Danzo Shimura was easy to talk to.

Mu Yue responded with a few words and left.

He felt that Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi were doing fine the way they were now.

Let Sarutobi Hiruzen consume some of Shimura Danzo's energy, so that Shimura Danzo will not be full of energy and suddenly come up with some amazingly wise plans.

"It's becoming increasingly difficult for me to restrict him. I have to think of a way." After Mu Yue left, Danzo Shimura sat alone in the Root office with a frown on his face.

Facts have proved that Mu Yue did not betray him, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who interfered.

But now Mu Yue has no curse mark on her body and has not been at the Root for a long time, so Shimura Danzo feels very insecure.

With Mu Yue's current strength, even if Mu Yue betrayed him and joined Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo would have no way to deal with Mu Yue and could only find opportunities to disgust Mu Yue.

"Should I let him participate in my cooperation with Orochimaru?" Danzo Shimura came up with a good idea.

The reason why he and Orochimaru cooperate so closely is not because they have a good relationship, but because both of them know too much about the other's shameful things.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen discovered everything they did, the best outcome would be life imprisonment.

If Mu Yue also gets involved, then Mu Yue and they will be in the same boat, and everyone will prosper and suffer together.

"He wants to develop Wood Release, and Hashirama's cells are our most important experiment." The more Danzo Shimura thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible.

The only drawback of this plan is that Mu Yue might gradually get rid of his status as a subordinate and become a collaborator on an equal footing with him like Orochimaru.

This is also where Shimura Danzo is hesitant.

Even though Mu Yue was away from the Root for a long time, and even with Mu Yue's current identity and strength, he had no chance to issue tasks to Mu Yue.

But he was a subordinate at the level of a Sannin after all. If Danzo Shimura ignored the consequences, he could use Mu Yue to do a lot of things.

"You seem troubled. Do you have the urge to defecate?"

Just as Danzo Shimura was lost in deep thought, a voice that was unfamiliar but a little familiar to Danzo Shimura was heard in the office.

He quickly grabbed the kunai on the desk and looked forward. A man wearing a robe and a Uzumaki mask on his face appeared in the office at some point.

Danzo Shimura's expression remained unchanged, but a huge wave of emotions was rising in his heart.

"How did this guy manage to sneak into the Root base quietly, even into my office!"
