Glory Konoha

Chapter 209 Danzo's Decision

While Kyosuke was struggling to deal with Tsuchikage Onoki, various accidents occurred frequently on the battlefield elsewhere.

Uchiha Ukyo's surprise attack unit, several members of the Shadow Guard who used clay explosives suddenly appeared. After a fierce fight, Ukyo was seriously injured and lost, leaving more than 10 corpses and fled back to the camp in embarrassment.

The same is true for the special reconnaissance team where Hinata Hinata is located. They were ambushed by the shadow guards who suddenly appeared. If Saori Hyuga did not happen to be fighting not far away, I am afraid that Hinata would not be able to come back.

The members of the shadow guards brought by Tsuchikage Ohnoki are top-notch among the members of the shadow guards of the five major countries in terms of combat quality and ability to change.

It has to be said that Onogi, who has been in office for the longest time, has the best skills and strength in the entire ninja world.

For the first time in the past month, the decline of Iwanin's troops has changed. When Kyosuke was held back and several strong men were defeated, Iwanin directly launched the largest counterattack.

All of a sudden, the casualties of the Northwest Army increased exponentially.

His eyes turned back to Kyosuke's battlefield. After a long fight, the battle finally had a clear result.

"Illusion, The Art of Darkness."

Using large-scale illusions to force Ohnoki to dare not pursue him, Kyosuke didn't even have time to wipe off the blood from the corner of his mouth, so he turned around and quickly retreated in the direction of the camp.

At this time, he had used up all the magic chakras stored in the curse seal, and his physical strength had dropped to a dangerous level. Even if he was reluctant in his heart, the cruel reality could only force him to retreat in embarrassment.

Speaking of which, this was the first time since Kyosuke was "upgraded" that he was completely suppressed in a head-to-head confrontation. Neither Saya Minadutsu nor Yakura could do this. This shows how strong Onogi is.

Turning his head to observe the enemy's movements, and seeing that Onogi had no intention of pursuing him, Kyosuke was really relieved, and at the same time, a strong sense of aggrieved also quietly rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Go back to the camp and take a rest, wait for your body to recover to its best condition, and then defeat this damned little old man."

However, in the following battles, he never got what he wanted.

No matter whether Kyosuke fought alone, or called the siege of Ikacho and others, Ohnoki relied on his strong strength and rich combat experience to resolve them one by one, and even Akimichi Choji and others almost lost their hands.

In desperation, Kyosuke and the others had no choice but to imitate the previous sand ninja style of play, give up blocking Onogi, and replace the key targets with members of the Shadow Guard and other Iwanin troops.

It's a pity that Ono Muchentun's destructive power is stronger than any other ninjutsu, and the lethality caused by the combination of Kyosuke and the others is not as powerful as him alone.

As time went by, the situation became more and more difficult. Although Kyosuke and others fought hard to resist, at the end of May, the front line was pushed back to the territory of the Land of Fire.

For this reason, Shikahisa Nara can only turn to Konoha for help, hoping that the high-level officials will mobilize some top combat forces to support the Northwest Army.

"I'll go in person." Hiruzaru Sarutobi said firmly in his battle attire.

However, his intention was once again stopped by Zhuanzhu Xiaochun and others.

"Don't get excited, things haven't developed to the worst." Taking a cryptic glance at the silent Danzo, Zhuanzi Xiaochun continued to analyze: "The reason why the situation in the Northwest battlefield will deteriorate is because of Jingsuke and the others. If you can’t stop that Onoki, you just need to send a powerful ninja there.”

"Besides me, there is no one else who can counter Tsuchikage." Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed softly.

"There are such people." Turning to sleep Xiaochun said, pressing his fingers heavily on the map in front of him.

"Tanokuni" Hiruzaru Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "You mean, Minato?"

"That's right." Zhuanzhu Xiaochun glanced at the three of them, and then said slowly: "Riding at the speed of Minato, it is enough to reach the Northwest Battlefield in one day, and his Flying Thunder God can also restrain Tuying's dust escape very well. .”

"If you want to break the crisis, there is no better choice than Minato Namikaze."

"Minato. If it's him, it's definitely possible." Hiruzaru Sarutobi thought about it, and smiled gratifiedly on his face.

Seeing this scene, although Danzo's face was calm, there was an unavoidable wave in his heart.

Namikaze Minato, among the younger generation, only his reputation is comparable to that of Uchiha Kyosuke, and the difference between the two is that Minato's background is very clean and belongs to the line directly under Hokage, plus Jiraiya standing behind him, If the next Hokage is to be elected, he will be his biggest opponent Danzo knows this very well.

As for the others, although Orochimaru's prestige is sufficient, Danzo who knows Sarutobi Hiruzen can be sure that the position of Hokage will not be in his hands anyway, and it is possible to come here, but with his personality. degree will be rejected.

Tsunade Hime, who suffers from blood phobia, is not the slightest threat to Danzo.

After thinking about it, Namikaze Minato, as a junior, is actually the most threatening existence to his Danzo. At this time, Danzo is extremely regretful. Why didn't he realize this earlier, otherwise, when he is not yet mature, there are plenty of ways can get rid of him.

Well now, even if Danzo was given a chance, he would be able to defeat Namikaze Minato, let alone not have this chance.

Therefore, Danzo, who was sitting on the side, did not express any opinion on the issue of Namikaze Minato's support.

Glancing at Danzo vaguely, Hiruzaru Sarutobi basically understood what was going on in his mind, and smiled inexplicably, and the matter was decided like this.

"Send me an order, and Minato Namikaze will set off to support the northwest battlefield without any delay."

"Yes."

When Anbu went to the communication department to send instructions, Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled and said to several people: "Now, the crisis in the Northwest battlefield can be resolved."

"Oh, that's right." As if remembering something, Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned his head and said to Danzo, who was still silent, "It's really sudden that Onoki came here this time. Have you found any clues?"

Nodding his head in confirmation, Danzo slowly revealed the information he had detected under the watchful eyes of several people.

When he heard that the Konoha ninja had kidnapped Tsuchikage's daughter-in-law, resulting in the death of the child in his belly, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's expression instantly sank.

After considering the language for a while, Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked tentatively: "Danzo, did you send someone to do this?"

Hearing this, the corner of Danzo's mouth twitched subconsciously, and he responded angrily: "At this time, how could I do such a thing, I didn't do it."

Seeing the distrustful eyes of several people, Danzo took a deep breath and emphasized again: "I really didn't do it."

"...Okay, I'll trust you for now."

"You bastards!!!"

The Hokage office fell into silence again.

After a long time, Hiruzaru Sarutobi finally spoke again, but what he said this time caused the eyes of the other three to widen instantly.

"Danzo, since you said you haven't done it, I have a task for you now."

"Once Ohnoki is frustrated on the battlefield, I need you to sneak to Yannin Village in the name of an envoy, and try to persuade Tsuchikage to give up his plan to attack Konoha and use troops against Yuno Village instead."

In the words of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo hadn't expressed any opinion, and Xiaoharu, who was on the side, couldn't help but said: "Hirzanny, this is too dangerous, no, I don't agree."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for him to refute, Xiaochun turned to bed and continued: "Once Ohnoki has the intention to kill, Danzo's life"

"That's right, there are indeed certain risks in doing so." Hiruzaru Sarutobi first affirmed her words, and then changed the subject and began to explain his intentions: "But if you don't do this, how can the old and cunning Onogi believe in the kidnapping incident We didn't do it."

"For the sake of the war, for the peace of the village, Danzo, I need you to make this trip."

".Okay." Contrary to the expectations of Koharu and Mitomon Yan, Danzo agreed to Sarutobi Hiruzen's request after a short thought.

Seeing this situation, it is not good for the two of them to speak out and interfere with their companion's decision.

After all, they can only be regarded as elders and have a certain degree of right to make suggestions, but in the end it is up to Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who is Hokage, to make the final decision.

Since Danzang had no objections, they naturally had nothing to say.

"Very good." Patting the old man's shoulder vigorously, Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked out the window at the already somewhat desolate street, and sighed with hope in his tone: "Oh, I hope this battle can end after this battle." The long war."

"." Danzo also got up at this time and came to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side and looked at the scenery outside the window together, but the thoughts in his heart were about to be completely different.

"Squeezing the war with Iwanin can bring me great prestige, and more importantly... I can take this opportunity to get rid of Namikaze Minato to prevent future troubles."

It is precisely because of this that Danzo agreed to Sarutobi Hiruzen's request, otherwise he would not have taken such a big risk with his character, and went to Iwanin to act as a "hostage".

Don't look at him saying that ninjas have to sacrifice in order to accomplish their goals all day long. When it's his turn, these creeds will not work.

"Double standard" dog, nothing more.

"Don't worry, as long as I succeed, the war will end soon." Danzo said in a low voice, glancing sideways at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Then, please." Judging from Sarutobi's peaceful smile, it was impossible to tell what was going on in his heart.

Taking a deep look at him, Danzo turned around and walked towards the door.

"I'll go back to the root to make arrangements first. When the news comes, you can just send someone to inform me."

"Thanks for your hard work." Hiruzaru Sarutobi kept staring at the back of his old companion, until he left the office and then looked out of the window again.

"Ugh."
