"Master Danzo."

Although the relationship between Anbu and Genbu is subtle, the relationship between Yamato, who jumped from Genbu to Anbu, and Danzo is as exciting as a big drama, but facing Danzo, even Yamanaka Haiichi has to bow his head. Call me "Sir" obediently.

After all, not everyone can be like the "pornographic, gambling, and drug addict" Sannin who doesn't care about Danzo, whether in terms of strength or status.

As for Danzo's purpose, everyone who had already figured it out in their minds also knew it clearly.

"I don't know how Ningji is doing now. Master Danzo, Yamato, I'll leave this to you. I'll go look for Neji first."

As the leader of the Yamanaka clan, Yamanaka Haiichi was close to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, but considering the complex relationship between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, he still decisively chose to play tricks and find the way. Neji's excuse was to prepare to run away first.

Although Kosuke on the side didn't want to get involved in the little conflicts between these old friends, looking at Yamato and Tanaka who were so weak, he finally had to shake his head slightly, sighed in his heart, and stayed.

As a loyal Hokage and a die-hard fan of Senju Tobirama, his position is still closer to the successor decided by Senju Tobirama himself.

As for Yamato and Tanaka, the two ANBU directly under the Hokage, let alone mention it. Unless absolutely necessary, they obviously still prefer to hand over the things in their hands directly to the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Danzo was still wearing a mask, making it even more difficult to guess what he was thinking. However, it was conceivable that he must have been relieved to see Yamanaka Haiichi leave.

"Take root, you lead the first team to help the jounin in the mountains to find traces of Hyuga Neji."

"Yes!"

The three root ninjas led by Yamanaka Haiichi and Aburame Torine disappeared from the spot, and the already somewhat solemn atmosphere became even heavier.

"Sunagakure won't let it go,"

After the silence lasted for an unknown amount of time, Danzo reached out and took off the mask on his face. After his eyes stayed on the faces of Kosuke and Yamato for a while, he took the initiative to speak.

"Faced with the interception of Sunagakure, which may take nearly the strength of a village, you cannot control it."

It's impossible to create a fratricidal Danzo here, trying to get Yamato to hand over his things on his own initiative.

"Neji has gone to contact the third team led by Kakashi-senpai."

Yamato didn't nod or shake his head, let alone hand over the things. Instead, he looked at Danzo expressionlessly and replied in a seemingly erroneous way.

Danzo's face couldn't help but darken when he heard Kakashi's name.

If it hadn't been for Kakashi, perhaps Yamato wouldn't have betrayed him later and eventually surrendered to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Danzo seemed to be affected by Kakashi's state of mind, and couldn't help blurting out.

"Huh, so what about Kakashi? He will only attract more Sunagakure ninjas."

"Oh, is the reputation of the majestic Darkness of Konoha not as good as that of Kakashi-senpai?"

As for his seemingly ill-thought-out words, Yamato immediately seized on the loophole and counterattacked mercilessly.

"Because of this, all the faces present today that have been remembered by Sunagakure Anbu cannot be the person who transports the target."

But how could Danzo really lose his mind just because of a name? This was just a hole he deliberately dug.

Not surprisingly, Yamato, who was too young, jumped in without any hesitation.

"In this case, the only way is to let the spy originally hidden in the Takumi Village take the things out of the Takumi Country as a fugitive Takunin or a businessman, and then let the Anbu sent by the village take over, and finally successfully bring the things out. Go back to the village."

Older gingers are more spicy.

Danzo has long been dealing with the dark things in Konoha that the sun cannot shine on. Danzo is already very good at dealing with similar problems. Not to mention Yamato, even Kakashi, who is admired by Yamato, is just a younger brother standing in front of Danzo at this moment. .

As for his secretive and appropriate handling method, although Yamato and Tanaka wanted to object, they could not give any reason for their objection.

"can."

Gu Jie, who originally stayed to "support" the two, was even more persuaded and voted in favor.

After all, he was just worried that Danzo would use force and power to force Yamato and Tanaka to hand over Kiyoaki's body to him. Now that Danzo already had it, it sounded very reasonable, and he really had a great chance to avoid Sunagakure. Of course, he would no longer object to the plan to intercept and send things back to Konoha.

Unless Yamato and Tanaka can think of other more secure methods.

. . .

Sand Hidden Village.

Since the distance was not too far, the ANBU sent by Marki soon returned to Sunagakure Village with the news.After receiving the news, the senior management of Sunagakure did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately gathered together to discuss the matter.

As the Kazekage, Rasa sets the tone from the beginning.

We must take back Qingming’s body.

After the third generation Kazekage disappeared, he was appointed to represent the Kazekage in a critical situation. After finally relying on his military exploits to become a full-time official, he, the fourth generation Kazekage, worked hard for Sunagakure Village.

In order to change the current situation of Sunagakure being poor and weak, he not only used Ninjutsu Sand Sea to pan for gold, but also took up the financial resources of Sunagakure alone after the daimyo cut off the financial allocation of Sunagakure Village, and also in order to enable Tailed Beasts to become The ultimate weapon used by Sunagakure, he did not hesitate to test it on his own newborn son.

Now that I heard the news from Ma Ji that it was possible to significantly improve the puppet manufacturing technology and enhance the strength of the puppet master, I naturally refused to let it go.

After all, even if a Jinchuuriki can perfectly control the strength of the tailed beast, it is still a weapon similar to nuclear weapons. It cannot be used easily in a battle other than a national war.

But as a regular combat power, if the Puppet Master can really be greatly improved, it will be self-evident that Sunagakure's strength will be improved.

However, many senior Sunagakure officials present had doubts about the accuracy of Ma Ji's intelligence.

"Qingming is just the founder of a small craftsman-nin village, and he is an old antique who has been dead for many years. Can his technology really provide us with any help?"

However, this view was immediately suppressed by Chiyo, Sunagakure's only puppet master, and her method was also very simple and crude.

"Oh, the Chikamatsu Ten are puppets left behind by the first generation puppet master, Monzaemon-sama. They are older than the Qingming Festival. Do any of you guys dare to have a showdown with an old woman like me?"

Chiyo, who has not yet played the game of pretending to be dead while fishing with his younger brother Ebizo, although after the disappearance of his grandson Xia, has rarely asked about the decisions of Sunagakure's senior management, this time, because of the puppetry involved, Rasa personally Even though I went to invite him, she still came.

And as a respected elder, she did have the final say.

At least the senior executives who were choked by her looked a little ugly, but no one dared to continue to express their objections.

The reputation of the Chikamatsu Ten was the result of two great ninja wars. Even facing the former demigod of the ninja world, Sansho Hanzo, there were many ups and downs, and they did not want to experience it themselves.

Moreover, even if Luo Sha's order for all-out reinforcements and interception was issued, senior officials like them wouldn't have to go out in person, so why should they be evil again?

Compared with them, the remaining senior officials who neither agree nor oppose have much simpler ideas in their hearts.

Since Konoha wants this thing, it must not let it go.

It may be important to them whether Sunagakure can get this thing, and whether it can really improve their strength.

But Konoha didn't get it, but it was more important to them.

After successfully suppressing the opposition, Luo Sha, who knew that time was precious, stopped nagging and immediately ordered the ANBU and all the ninjas who had not yet left for the mission to take action and sneak into those who have been sandwiched between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth. Small country, intercept all Konoha ninjas.

Of course, Danzo, Yamanaka Haiichi, Yamato and other Konoha ninjas whose identities have been identified are even more important.

. . .

When almost the whole village of Sunagakure was in action, a Sunagakure ninja with a dark brown turban on his head and white hat curtains on both sides to protect his ears. His right eye was covered by long black hair hanging down to his chin, but he quietly avoided the situation. After leaving my companions, I came to the south of Sand Hidden Village. At this time, there was no one in the deserted sand dunes, and I was waiting with a somewhat anxious expression.

"What happened to Sunagakure? Why are you so anxious to see me?"

Just when he was disappointed and about to leave temporarily, a very old and dry voice sounded on the sand dunes.

"Master Scorpion!"

When he heard this voice, he immediately turned around with a look of surprise and knelt down on one knee.

As he knelt on the ground, a low and bloated figure, with its entire body covered by a windbreaker with red clouds on a black background, appeared from behind the sand dunes. It was none other than the beautiful girl of Akatsuki, who killed He killed the Sandaime Kazekage and made his corpse into a human puppet, the Red Sand Scorpion.

"What the hell is going on?!"

However, there was no hint of joy in Xie's voice. On the contrary, his voice sounded a little irritable.

I wonder if the joint experiment with Orochimaru failed again.

The Suna ninja who was kneeling on the ground did not dare to hesitate any longer, and quickly told everything about the news that Ma Ji had sent back, as well as the orders given by Luo Sa.

"According to Ma Ji, the man named Qingming was a genius ninja craftsman who founded the Craft Ninja Village. Ma Ji also mentioned in the news that he transformed his body into the ultimate ninja tool before he died. , therefore, this subordinate will take the risk to contact Mr. Xie, hoping to bring some help to Mr. Xie."

The Sand Ninja kneeling on the ground seemed to have a high status. Not only could he know the detailed orders of Luo Sand, but he could also know the details of the information sent back by Ma Ji.

"Oh? Qingming?! The ultimate ninja tool of the Takumi Ninja Village?"

Scorpion, who sounded a little irritable at first, couldn't help but become interested after hearing the whole story.

Although he and Orochimaru both pursue immortality, their paths are quite different, which is also the source of the conflict between the two.

And now, after hearing that Qingming, an old antique who had been dead for decades, came back to life in a way that was similar to his own, he was very interested.

"Is that Kiyomei's body still in the hands of the Konoha ninjas?"

Thinking of the lack of tasks recently and the conflict with Orochimaru during the experiment, Xia was ready to take a look.

"Yes."

The sand ninja who was kneeling on the ground was ecstatic when he heard Xie's curious inquiry. He nodded quickly and replied. At the same time, he reached out and took out two scrolls from his arms, raising his hands respectfully to his head.

"This is the map of Takumi Country and several other countries, as well as the list of people from Konoha who sneaked into Takumi Country to snatch Qingming's body this time."

The tail knife behind Fei Liuhu suddenly stretched out, like the tail of a living creature, and flexibly rolled up two scrolls and brought them in front of him.

"Well done, this is your reward."

After roughly checking the two scrolls, Xie put away the scroll with satisfaction and at the same time took out a scroll from inside the puppet and accurately threw it in front of him.

"Thank you, Master Scorpion."

Looking at the scroll on the ground, the Sand Ninja immediately thanked him with excitement.

However, after he finished thanking him, there was no other sound in his ears except the howling wind in the dunes at night.

When he mustered up the courage to slowly raise his head and look at the place where Fei Liuhu was, he found it was already empty.

. . .

Returning to Takunin Village again, Yamazaka Haiichi and Yamato felt very heavy.

Although Ma Ji was temporarily forced back by Danzo's leadership, he kept following them, which shows that Danzo's previous judgment was very correct.

Sunagakure has not given up, still coveting Qingming's body.

If Yamato and Tanaka still had reservations about Danzo's plan before, now they have completely given up on him and just want to successfully return Qingming's body to Konoha.

Compared with the result of completely losing Qingming's body, it is not a big problem if Qingming's body is studied from the roots first and gets a first hand.

Even if there was discord between Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, the meat would still rot in their own pot after all, which was better than being snatched away by Sunagakure in their pot.

At this time, the one in the team who was in the most relaxed mood was undoubtedly Neji.

This time, although he failed to get the Longyan Yali Dark Knife he wanted, broke the bow that had been with him for nearly three years, and was injured, he was able to test his three years of training through actual combat. , can still meet the future and see that the future is intact, Neji is generally satisfied.

What's more, before leaving in the future, he had been provided with the most suitable craftsman, and he didn't have no chance at all with the Longyan Yali Dark Saber.

After all, the three ninja tools and Qingming's body are now sealed in the scroll. As long as the scroll is successfully returned to Konoha, the three ninja tools should be used for research, and later they may be rewarded to ninjas who have performed meritorious services. , or stored away like the Thunder God's Sword.

He finally had a chance to get the Longyan Yali Dark Saber.

The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was the corpses of the two root ninjas killed by the future.

But now, he can only pray that the two corpses are dragged away by the passing beasts, otherwise, if the root ninja sees something from the two corpses, the troubles in the future may have just begun.
