Konoha Thief

Chapter 572 The Prelude to the Ceremony

Chapter 572 The Prelude to the Ceremony

The inauguration ceremony of the Fifth Hokage is getting closer, and Konoha Village is naturally full of joy and excitement, completely diluting the sad atmosphere after the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

It's just that under this atmosphere, Danzo feels very uncomfortable. After all, if the previous plan is successful, he should be the one who announces his inauguration now.

But as he once said, he is a person who can afford to lose, and the current situation only makes him unhappy. What really puzzles him is the recent changes at the root.

Of course, due to the existence of the seal of the root of the tongue, and after being forced to retire, Natsuki came to ask him what to do next, so he was not worried that his subordinates would betray him.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the conversation that day would lead to today's situation.

Due to Sarutobi Hiruzen's pressure, he retreated and kept his roots, which was already the most favorable situation he could win.

The replacement of the root leader meant that he could not remotely control the root, which was a tacit understanding between him and Sarutobi Hiruzane without words.

So when Matsuzaki Natsuki came to ask him, he just confessed to maintain the independence of Genbu, and everything else was done in accordance with Genbu's past behavior style.

At that time, Danzo never thought that after decentralization, Matsuzaki Natsuki would make such changes to the roots, and even scattered the tentacles of the roots into the ninja world, not only limited to Dainin Village, but even some small countries have arrangements, revealing a plot Very broad gesture.

It's just that the people at the root are already taking the elite line, like sharp knives, but if they are scattered all over the ninja world, their effectiveness will be significantly reduced.

"Could this be Natsuki's intention?" In the tea room, Danzo put down the scroll in his hand and performed the tea ceremony alone with charm, speculating on Natsuki's intention in his heart, "In this way, it can be given to Sarutobi Hiruza Creates the illusion that he's not looking so hard at the roots."

Because he can no longer meddle in the affairs of the root, and most of the manpower has been dispatched, the report he received did not involve the specific tasks of going out ninjas, so he has no way of knowing that Xia Shu's plot is not just superficial, but really Touch the various forces in the ninja world.

"It seems that I need to ask Natsuki to come over for a chat." Sipping the fragrant tea, Danzo nodded with satisfaction, "The art of tea has improved a bit, these are the only hobbies to pass the time on boring days."

Whispering to himself, he recalled that Hiruzaru Sarutobi came over a few days ago. Of course, the other party didn't come here to catch up and chat. Although the content was roughly the same, it was definitely a warning.

"Forget it, let's put the roots to Natsuki for the time being. Even if he can't do too many things with his ability, he can at least keep the power of the roots for the future." Danzo poured out the tea, got up and went to the window Looking out from the front, "The sun is warm in winter, it's really a good weather."

At the same time, at the main entrance of Muye Village, three generations of Xingying led four Xingren into Muye Village.

The subordinates he leads are all men. Except for Yinghuo who specially asked to follow, the other three are Chihoshi, Nighthawk and Death Burial.

It can be said that he has brought half of the elite of Star Ninja Village during this trip.Of course, this is still incomparable with other Dain villages. For example, the team passing by them proudly at the moment, with their distinctive clear skin color as white as milk and as black as ash at the bottom of a pot. The doubt is that the cloud hidden ninjas from the country of thunder, and the number of people coming from the other party is more than twice as many as them.

"Hmph! These guys all came here with ulterior motives." Chi Xing sneered with a clear and thin face, but a gloomy and indifferent expression.

"Pay attention to your words and deeds!" Three generations of Xingying frowned upon hearing this, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "I'm not in the village now, this is Konoha Village in the Land of Fire!"

"I'm sorry, I will pay attention, Master Xingying." Chi Xing said with the corners of his mouth tight and his head lowered.

No one could see the chill and unwillingness in his eyes at this moment.

Among the Yunyin team that just passed by, there was still a young man with slightly curly hair and dark skin with a loose expression. He seemed to sense something, glanced at the team of Hoshi Ninja Village, and especially paused on Chihoshi.

"What's the matter, Darui?" A cloud hidden ninja noticed the young man's condition, followed his gaze and asked at the same time.

"It's nothing." Darui shook his head and continued to walk forward.

There will always be guys exuding similar auras in Xiaonin village, and it is not uncommon in the ninja world to realize the reality until the head is smashed.

"It turned out to be Xing Ninja." The Yunyin ninja saw the pattern of the forehead protection of the three generations of Xingying and his party clearly, showing a dazed expression, and moved closer to Darui, and whispered mysteriously: "You also know that the village is still alive. Didn't you give up plotting for that 'star' in Hoshinobu Village?"

"Oh? 'Star'?" Darui's lazy expression was slightly puzzled.

"You don't know?" The cloud ninja quickly covered his mouth, staring and said: "I never told you anything!"

"Yeah, yes, you didn't tell me anything." Darui's curiosity was as lazy as his temperament, and he left immediately after encountering some setbacks, but it left the cloud hidden ninja at a loss .

Under the guidance of Konoha Ninja, the crowd arrived at the State Guesthouse, which was renovated to welcome guests from all over the world.

As soon as he walked into the State Guesthouse, he saw Hiruzaru Sarutobi, dressed in normal clothes, leading a few high-level officials from Konoha Village, greeting the ninjas from Yanyin Village. When it arrived, it instantly dropped to the freezing point, and even a murderous aura was born.

In the third Ninja World War, the one who suffered the most damage was naturally Sand Yin, who was the first to ignite the war against Konoha.

During the prologue before the war, the three generations of Kazekage mysteriously disappeared. Due to various reasons, Sunakin passed on conflicts and provoked a war with Konoha. However, the absence of the supreme leader also made Sandakin's battle mess up, becoming the only ninja in the ninja world. A force that withdrew early in the war.

And the degree of damage ranks behind Sand Yin, which is Yunyin Village. It's not that Yunyin ninjas lost much in the war, but only the death of the third generation of Raikage caused the loss of Yunyin Village's combat power. What's more, the shadow of a village represents not only a shadow-level combat power, but also more complex and far-reaching influences such as the prestige of a village.

Because of this incident, when meeting the Iwagakure ninja who killed the third generation of Raikage, the hatred and anger instantly turned into a ignited flame, exuding a biting chill in the scorching heat!

"Ahem! Everyone." Under the tense atmosphere, a young man walked out beside Hiruzaru Sarutobi. I can only say sorry in advance to everyone.”
