Starting from Konoha's exile

"How's your homework lately?"

Jinga leaned on the soft cushion and asked Sasuke who was sitting upright below.

"I have mastered all the courses in school. If you didn't agree, I would have applied for graduation now." Sasuke was very happy about the sudden return of his real self.

"Just wait for graduation with peace of mind. How is your Ninja sword training going?"

"Thunder Slash and Flame Slash have been basically mastered, but they lack practical combat. But I lack wind chakra, so I can't practice Wind Slash yet." Sasuke said with a little pride, but then complained again. "Second uncle, do I have to close the Sharingan every other month? Without the cooperation of the Sharingan, I won't be able to perform many ninjutsu."

"Well, it seems inappropriate to close it every other month. How about closing it for a year at a time?"

"Pretend I didn't say anything." Sasuke waved his hand quickly.

"Don't tell anyone about my return, including Naruto. Also, don't run around alone recently, and don't leave the sight of the guards." Jinga said in a very serious tone.

"I see, there is nothing wrong with the Hinata family." Sasuke nodded.

"The leader of the Rizu clan was assassinated, and he is basically useless. So except for the food at home, don't eat randomly outside."

"Okay, does Second Uncle know who did it?"

"Just practice with peace of mind. You don't need to worry about these things for the time being."

After Sasuke went to school, I came to a certain room, where there were five cat corpses on the floor.

"Have you found out who did it?" Maya asked Hina, the ninja cat beside her.

"He's from the root, boss. This matter must not be left alone. Nekomata boss said that if you don't care, he will do it himself. Meow!" A ferocious expression appeared on Hina's face.

"Of course, I'm not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness."

Real Self said, using psychic skills.

"Ah, it's Master Jingo. What are your instructions for summoning the villain? Zhizhi!"

I saw a big rat half as tall as a man appearing in front of me. He was holding a cane in his paws. His clothes were in tatters and had patches everywhere. The hair on his body was about to fall out. It also smelled like a sewer. It was really Ugly and disgusting.

"There are so many dead cats, it's so good, ah, no, no, no, it's so bad, Zhizhi."

When Hina saw the big rat, she immediately exploded and showed her fangs and claws, but it was just a bluff. The chakra emitted by the big rat was even stronger than her true self.

This big rat was no ordinary ninja beast. If he hadn't had such a deep relationship with Ryūchi Cave, he would never have known that in addition to the three great immortals, there was also a half-immortal, namely the rat half-immortal in front of him.

The story of this rat half-immortal is interesting to say. At that time, the natural energy of the ninja world exploded, and the places with the strongest natural energy formed the three holy places. But what is not known is that Longdi Cave was not the hometown of the White Snake Immortal at first, but the rat's nest of this rat half-immortal.

After discovering that natural energy had a huge change on his body, this rat half-immortal was so frightened that he ran away with his whole family. He was as timid as a rat.

After the rat half-immortal realized that this change was of great benefit to him, he hurried back and found that the sign of Longdi Cave had been hung on the door of his house.

The rat half-immortal planned to remedy the situation and mobilized the rats to fight against the bandits who invaded his home. However, the White Phosphorus Orochi clan has absorbed the natural energy here for many years, and coupled with racial suppression, most of the rat descendants were beaten to death by the snakes, and even the rat half immortal himself was captured alive by the White Snake Immortal.

However, the White Snake Immortal saw that the big mouse was half an immortal, so he did not kill them all. As a result, this unlucky rat half-immortal was completely enslaved by the White Snake Immortal, including his rat cubs, who were also reduced to food and slaves, living deep underground in the corner of Longdi Cave.

Fortunately, rats give birth to babies quickly and in large numbers. The half-immortal rat lineage has been eaten by snake spirits for thousands of years and has not been extinct. The number continues to increase every year, so much so that a large number of them are driven out every year, which can be said to be a nest of snakes and rats.

"Rat Hansen, I'll give you one day to summon some rat babies and ask them to do some work. Hina will tell you how to do it later." Maya told the Rat Hansen.

"Okay, my lord, I'll go right away, go right away, Zhizhi." After speaking, the rat half-immortal touched his crutch and disappeared.

"I don't want to deal with this stinky rat, nya." Hina yelled dissatisfied.

"Twenty bottles of special drinks."

"Twenty-one! Meow."

"make a deal."

That night.

Two ANBU ninjas on duty were talking nonsense on the roof of a building.

"Why did I see more than a dozen mice in just this short time?"

"Yes, and he's not small."

"The guys at the root are full and have nothing to do. Why are they catching wild cats? Now that it's over, rats start to overrun immediately."

"Say less, Danzo-sama has been very aggressive recently."

"cut……"

In the home of a root member.

"Who is it!" The root ninja took out a kunai and shouted to the empty room.

"It turns out to be a mouse..."

The root ninja also laughed a little at his fuss, but he immediately realized that something was wrong. There were actually more rats in the house, and they were densely crawling all over the floor.

The Root Ninja picked up a broom and drove away the rats in the room frantically, several of them even crawled on him.

"Damn it! What's going on!"

The root ninja yelled, and at this moment, he suddenly found many rats with detonating charms attached to their bellies.

"Oops..."

Boom boom boom...

Five consecutive explosions woke up Konoha from his sleep.

"What happened?" Sarutobi put on his coat as he walked away.

"Hokage-sama, there were explosions in five houses in the village. According to observations, it should be the effect of the detonating charm." The ANBU guard beside Sarutobi replied.

"what!?"

When Sarutobi arrived at the nearest scene, the other two advisors had already arrived first, and then Konoha's clan leaders and captains also arrived one after another.

The fire has been extinguished, and the bodies of the victims have been mixed with large pieces of dead rats. Several medical ninjas in protective clothing are using small shovels to put these pieces of meat into plastic bags.

"Has the identity of the victim been found out?"

"Report to the Hokage-sama, they are all root members."

"Oh? Are there any clues?" Sarutobi asked with a frown.

"According to root operation records, five of them carried out an operation to drive away and cull wild cats today."

"..." Sarutobi clenched his fists tightly in his wide sleeves.

In the secret vault at the root, Danzo looked at the scene in front of him, his whole body trembling violently.

empty!

The vault is empty!

Not even a penny to ride on the horse!

The reinforced concrete floors and walls were filled with dense mouse holes, but there was only a mouse standing there carrying a small roll of paper, looking nervously at himself.

Danzo took off the small scroll of paper from the mouse's back and opened it to see a sentence written on it.

"A rat is only worthy of being a rat's opponent."

"Asshole!" Danzo yelled and waved his hand fiercely, and the rat that ran away before he came was beaten into pulp by a wave of energy.

"Duanzo, not only did your plan fail, it actually angered them and exposed yourself. Stop it."

"No! Never! I will never allow anyone to threaten the safety of Konoha Village!"

"Itachi also lost in the fight with him, and according to Itachi, even he couldn't predict the power of the true self."

"..." Danzo calmed down after hearing this. He knew Itachi's abilities very well, and he was no match for Itachi now.

"According to accurate information, I have mastered Ryūchi Cave Immortal Technique and has a close relationship with White Snake Immortal. But you don't have to worry about Orochimaru. He had already left the village at that time, and he didn't know much about the night of genocide. .”

"Everything I did was for Konoha!" Danzo hit the ground hard several times with his crutch to hide his uneasiness.

"I know, I know... Although your methods are sometimes too cruel, how could I not know that you, like me, are all dedicated to Konoha, so I have always tolerated you and protected you. But this Once, I was really scared. My true strength has become so strong that it is hard to fathom, and if I push him into a hurry, it will do no good to Konoha at all."

"Is it difficult for us to just watch him continue to cultivate his own power?"

"That's why I sent him out in disguise, Danzo. The most important thing right now is the plan to reach an alliance with the Kazekage Village. Let's put other things aside for now. If this can be done, and the combined efforts of the two villages, I will You must bow your head.”

"I see……"

Sarutobi nodded and turned to leave.

Just as he was about to walk out the door, Sarutobi turned back and said.

"Hizu is not dead."

After hearing these words, Danzo's clenched fists unclenched and he was discouraged. This shows that all his plans failed, and he was immediately counterattacked.

He failed again, but he will not give up. One day, he will take back everything he owes him, including the principal and interest.
