The man standing at the top of the ninja world

After Nagato used the ability of the human world to check Toudou's memory, he already knew everything clearly.

The leader Toudou mentioned that he knew each other was the current daimyo of the Fire Country, Akaka Shinichi, and Toudou attacked their group here on the order of Akoka Shinichi.

This may sound a bit unbelievable. How could the Daimyo of the Fire Country send people to attack the ninjas of Konoha?

But that's the fact, and Nagato already knows why Akaka Shinichi would do such a thing.

Akoka Shinichi's purpose in doing this was to weaken Konoha's power.

Since the first Hokage Senju Hashirama founded Konoha Village decades ago, Konoha Village has nominally belonged to the Country of Fire. The Hokage has also surrendered to the Daimyo of the Country of Fire. Even the appointment of Hokage is done by the Daimyo. Decide.

But in fact, Konoha Village is a completely independent existence, and everything is managed by the Hokage. The Daimyo of the Fire Country cannot interfere with the operation of Konoha, let alone decide the candidate of the Hokage. It is just a simple decoration, and its only function is Pay large military expenditures to Konoha.

Akaka Shinichi is a very ambitious daimyo. He is not willing to be just a decoration. He wants Konoha to truly belong to the Land of Fire and all Konoha ninjas to become his de facto subordinates.

For this reason, he began to cultivate his own power in secret a long time ago. The Land of Fire is the most powerful and rich country in the ninja world. Akira Shinichi cultivated ninjas at all costs. Up to now, he already has There are dozens of ninjas, including more than ten jounin, and Toudou is the strongest among them and the only Kage-level ninja.

In the past few years, Konoha has developed better and better, and its strength has continued to increase. Akoka Shinichi is very anxious because of this. There is no doubt that the more powerful Konoha Village is, the less likely he is to control Konoha Village. He can only rely on his subordinates. Dozens of ninjas are nothing in front of Konoha Village.

Only when Konoha Village declines can he have the opportunity to control Konoha Village.

Therefore, Akaka Shinichi and Toudo carefully planned a conspiracy against Konoha.

He first asked Todo to lead people to attack and occupy Lieyan City, and then Todo deliberately let the Lord of Lieyan City escape. After the Lord of Lieyan City fled to the capital of the Kingdom of Fire and reported to him the attack on Lieyan City, he pretended to be a big man. Looking pale with shock, he sent six guardian nins to Flame City to kill Toudou.

Akaka Shinichi's move was actually to send these six guardian ninjas to die. Toudo knew the intelligence of these six guardian ninjas very well. He, Kakuzu and many ninjas set up an ambush, and easily killed these six guardian ninjas. Shinobu kills them all.

These six killed guardian nin were the first victims of this conspiracy.

The Twelve Guardian Ninjas were all Jounin of Konoha. Six Guardian Ninjas died at once. Even the Third Hokage felt heartbroken, but this did not satisfy Shinichi Akira.

Konoha is the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world. The loss of six jounin will not really affect Konoha. If you want to severely damage Konoha, Konoha must lose a shadow-level ninja.

Therefore, after the death of the six guardian ninjas, Akaka Shinichi handed over the task of killing Toudou and others to Konoha, and also designated the first squad led by Tsunade to perform this task.

The reason why he chose the first class was also related to Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina.

In the Chunin Examination two years ago, Akira Shinichi witnessed the performance of Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina, and at that time he came up with the idea of ​​​​drawing them together.

Therefore, after the finals, he immediately proposed to the Third Hokage that Nagato should be the guardian of the Twelve Ninjas, but the Third Hokage decisively rejected him, and he had to give up the idea.

In this conspiracy, Akira Shinichi wanted to take the opportunity to win over Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina. He ordered Toudo to kill Haruno Ou and Tsunade during the battle, but not to kill Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina. , but captured the two of them back to the capital of the Country of Fire.

Haruno Zhao's talent is average and has no value in the eyes of Akaka Shinichi, so he can be killed directly. However, Tsunade is an adult and the granddaughter of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama. It is absolutely impossible for her to betray Konoha, so she can also be killed directly. Lose.

But Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina are different. The two of them are only in their teens, not adults yet. Their minds are not mature and their ideas can be easily changed. Moreover, they are not local ninjas in Konoha, but from When other countries join Konoha, their sense of belonging to Konoha will definitely not be as strong as Tsunade's.

Akaka Shinichi believed that there was hope that Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina could betray Konoha and join his army, so he ordered Toudo to capture Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina alive and bring them back to the capital of Fire Country.

Both Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina have stronger potential than Toudou. When they grow up, they will definitely be stronger than Toudou. If the two of them can join his command, then the possibility of him controlling Konoha will be greatly increased. .

Moreover, even if Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina refuse to betray Konoha in the end, Akira Shinichi will not lose much. He can just kill the two of them when the time comes, which will also eliminate the best members of Konoha Village. Two geniuses.

The reason why Toudo was able to set up an ambush in front of Nagato and the others in advance was because he mastered a ninjutsu that could leave a mark on an object and then sense the location of the mark.

Before heading to Raging Flame City, he had already placed marks on Akoka Shinya's carriage, so he could determine their location and set up an ambush in advance.

However, Akaka Shinya himself and the people who came with him did not know about this matter. The only people who knew about it from beginning to end were Akaka Shinichi and Todo.

Akoka Shinichi is too young and does not have a castle. Akoka Shinichi is worried that if he tells him this, he is likely to panic in front of the Third Hokage, and the Third Hokage will notice something abnormal, so even he will Hidden the past.

The reason why Chihuo Shinichi sent Chihuo Shinichi to participate in this mission was, on the one hand, to clear himself of suspicion. He even sent his only son. Who would have thought that he was the one responsible for this attack? Where is the messenger of the Lord?

On the other hand, Akoka Shinichi did do it to increase Akoka Shinya's prestige. Akoka Shinya has a cowardly character and is not recognized by the ministers of the Fire Country. This is a fact. He did not lie to the Third Hokage.

In Akaka Shinichi's plan, after Toudo kills Tsunade, he will let Kakuzu and the ninjas leave. Then he kills Haruno Ou, subdues Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina, and then attacks Akaka. Huoxin also identifies himself.

After that, they will stay in Raging Flame City together, and Chi Huo Xinyi will send the original Lord of Raging Flame City back. After the Lord of Raging Flame City returns to Raging Flame City, they will return directly to the capital of the Kingdom of Fire.

When they return to the capital of the Kingdom of Fire, Chi Huo Xinyi will make a big statement that Chi Huo Xin is also the biggest contributor to the rescue of Raging Flame City this time, so that all ministers who are not satisfied with Chi Huo Xin will no longer be able to question him.

In this way, Chi Huo Xin can successfully become the next Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

At the same time, Akira Shinichi sent his subordinates to Konoha Village to inform the Third Hokage, Tsunade, Nagato, Uzumaki Kushina, and Haruno Zhao that they died together with the enemies who attacked the Flame City, and also told the Third Hokage that the first team Before their deaths, the four people had determined that the person who attacked Flame City was the ninja from Yun Ninja Village.

Akaka Shinichi initially claimed that he had discovered that the ninjas who attacked Flame City might be related to the Cloud Ninja Village, in order to sow discord between the Konoha Village and the Cloud Ninja Village.

As for the electric light covering Toudou's body, it's just a ninjutsu he mastered that can simply increase speed. It can't be compared with the Thunder Armor at all, but it just looks more similar.

Todo will tell Tsunade that he is a ninja from the Cloud Ninja Village, just to mislead Tsunade and bring trouble to the Cloud Ninja Village.

And the Third Hokage will definitely not give up after learning that all four members of the first class have died in battle. It is very likely that Konoha Village will go to war with Kumo Ninja Village, and its strength will be further weakened.

This is also the ultimate goal of Akira Shinichi. Only a large-scale war can cause Konoha to decline. After the war, both Konoha Village and Cloud Ninja Village will suffer losses, and he will become the biggest winner.

And Nagato finally understood why he felt that the name Kazuma was very familiar. Kazuma had appeared in the Naruto animation and was one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas who were contemporary with Asma.

During Asuma's time, the Twelve Guardian Ninjas split into two factions, one was the moderate faction headed by Asuma, and the other was the radical faction headed by Kazuma.

Kazuma is loyal to the Daimyo of the Country of Fire and believes that Naruto should not exist and that all ninjas should be loyal to the Daimyo of the Country of Fire. For this reason, he had a battle with the moderate faction led by Asma and was defeated by Asma.

But Kazuma did not die. During the Shippuden period, he led his men to attack Konoha and was finally killed by Asma.

In addition, Nagato also knew why Kakuzu and Toudou appeared together. It was different from what he had guessed before. Kakuzu and Toudou were not in the same group. There was only a simple employment relationship between them.

Although Akaka Shinichi gave Toudo ample resources, ninjas still need to go through enough battles to become stronger. In order to fight against powerful enemies, Toudo once worked as a bounty hunter for a period of time. During this period, he and Kakuzu Get acquainted.

After Akoka Shinichi and Todo formulated a conspiracy against Konoha, Todo worried that the ninja strength trained by Akoka Shinichi alone was not enough to complete the task, and the risk was too great. If it failed, Akoka Shinichi's many years of training would be over. Efforts will be ruined.

Therefore, he did not use Akoka Shinichi's men, but found Kakuzu, claiming that he had a grudge against Konoha and wanted to attack Konoha ninjas, hoping to get Kakuzu's help. For this, he was willing to pay Kakuzu anomaly. Generous rewards.

And Toudo also promised that after success, Tsunade's body can be handed over to Kakuzu in exchange for the bounty. Tsunade is one of the three ninjas, famous in the entire ninja world, and one of the ninjas with the highest bounty.

Kakuzu is a bounty hunter, and money is the most important thing in his heart. The reward Toudou offered him cannot refuse, and together with Toudou, he and Toudou are two Kage-level ninjas, while Konoha only has one Kage-level ninja, Tsunade. It's just the three chunin. No matter how you look at it, they are bound to win, so he naturally has no reason to disagree.

And those hundreds of ninjas are all bounty hunters hired by Todo. Kakuzu helped a lot in this matter. He is currently the strongest bounty hunter in the ninja world and has a very high prestige in the industry. It was easy to recruit hundreds of bounty hunters.

However, the strength of these people is very average. Except for one Jonin, they are only at the Chunin level.

After Toudo led these people to attack the Flame City, they stayed here. Soon after, he killed six guardian ninjas. After a while, Toudou sensed that the mark was approaching the Flame City. Knowing that the Konoha ninjas had arrived, he and Kakuzu They all left Raging Flame City and set up an ambush in the forest in advance.

But the development of the matter was beyond Toudou's expectation. Although the Third Hokage gave this task to the first class to carry out as Akaka Shinichi said, he did not leave the first class alone because of his cautious personality. Action, but added Jiraiya's team.

But at this time, Toudou still believed that he had a chance to win. After all, Kakuzu was also very powerful among Kage-level ninjas. He and Kakuzu were fully capable of defeating Jiraiya and Tsunade.

After the battle began, Kakuzu successfully suppressed Jiraiya, and Toudo also held back Tsunade, and the battle was quickly won. However, due to Nagato's involvement, the situation was reversed, and Tsunade could go Support Jiraiya, while Toudou wants to fight Nagato.

Todo originally planned to defeat Nagato quickly and then join forces with Kakuzu, but Nagato's strength completely exceeded his expectations. He originally thought that Nagato's strength was at most an elite Jonin level. After all, Nagato was too old. Xiao, elite jounin is already the conclusion he overestimated as much as possible.

But Nagato was more powerful than he expected, and was able to fight him without losing, and even injured him.

Seeing that Kakuzu was at a disadvantage due to the joint efforts of Jiraiya and Tsunade, and that he himself was injured by Nagato, Toudou knew that the mission had failed, so he decisively chose to escape.

Kakuzu and those ninjas are just bounty hunters he hired. He doesn't care at all even if the entire army is wiped out. Moreover, they don't know anything. Even if Tsunade and others ask, they can't get any results.

After seeing Nagato chasing after him, Toudo decided to capture him again, so he deliberately slowed down and led him here, preparing to defeat him and take him back to the capital of Fire Country.

But what Toudo didn't expect was that he was no match for Nagato. In the end, instead of being able to catch Nagato, he was seriously injured by Nagato.

Toudo knew that if he was brought back to Konoha, all the information he had would eventually be known to the Third Hokage. In order to protect Akaka Shinichi, he finally chose to commit suicide.

It's just that he didn't know that Nagato had the ability to view memories. Although he died, the secrets he knew were eventually understood by Nagato.

Nagato clenched his fists, feeling the waves deep in his heart, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
