Konoha starts from the root

In a flash, three days passed.

In the Kingdom of the Sea, Ghost World Island, inside the experimental base.

Bai Ye put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, and walked back and forth in the room unconsciously.

For three days, in addition to eating and sleeping, he read and studied these scrolls from Iwagakure Village.

It has to be said that the foundation of Yanyin Village is quite good, and these scrolls about Dust Escape gave him considerable inspiration.

As the saying goes, one has to specialize in the arts. Previously, although his sealing technique reached level 8, he still could not effectively develop the potential of "Dust Escape", a blood-inherited elimination, in a short period of time.

But now that he has these scrolls, he is confident that he can master the power of Dust Escape in a month or two.

Not only that, by referring to these scrolls, he can develop Ice Escape in a deeper level.

This is what he will do next.

As for Yanyin Village, he had long forgotten it.

However, Iwagakure will obviously not expose this matter easily.

······

While Bai Ye was busy studying the trophies, Iwagakure was even busier than him.

Ninja's actions are all about efficiency, and Ninja Village is no exception.

During these three days, the entire Yanyin Village was like a high-speed machine. Each department had its own tasks, and it seemed like a storm was coming.

Tsuchikage Building, inside the Tsuchikage office on the top floor.

Ohnoki picked up the documents on the table and began to read them carefully.

The very beginning was the investigation report on the secret room.

"According to verification, eight scrolls are missing from the secret room, and all of them contain information related to Dust Escape."

Seeing this result, Ohnoki frowned and muttered: "Chen Escape? You awakened Ice Escape and came to find Chen Escape again. What does this mean? Could it be that Konoha wants to study Chen Escape?"

After thinking for a long time, Ohnoki still had no clue. He could only shake his head secretly and continue to look down.

This second part is about Jinshi and Ximu.

Ohnoki carefully watched the investigation process, and finally moved his eyes to the conclusion.

"The investigation results show that Kaneshi and Nishiki had no obvious abnormal behavior before the night of the 12th, and the possibility of being Konoha spies has been initially ruled out."

Seeing this, Onoki was obviously relieved.

After all, if the jounin of the village is a spy for other villages, it not only means that he, the Tsuchikage, does not know people, but also means that there is a flaw in the village's censorship system.

In this case, it is no longer a matter of one or two spies, and it is likely to turn into a crisis of trust between companions.

Therefore, Ohnoki is particularly concerned about this part of the investigation results.

Continuing to flip through the documents, next is the section about curse seals.

"Research results show that the curse marks on Jinshi and Nishiki are exactly the same, and are similar to the curse marks on the ninjas of the 'root' of Konoha."

Seeing this, Onoki picked up another document.

This is a mission report. Looking at the date, it was three days ago, and the signature is clearly Jin Shi.

This was Jin Shi's last mission report, which recorded the process of that A-level mission in detail, including some of his feelings and conjectures.

In response to that mission, Ohnoki re-sent people to conduct a more in-depth investigation.

Sure enough, the investigators discovered anomalies and agreed that the mission was most likely to be artificially arranged.

Comparing the two, Ohnoki easily came to the conclusion that the enemy's invasion was a premeditated action.

Such behavior can be said to be blatantly provoking the authority of Iwagakure Village.

If there is no effective response to this, then once this matter spreads, the prestige of Iwagakure Village will be greatly affected, and it will also affect Iwagakure Village's status in the ninja world.

Therefore, Iwagakure must express its attitude no matter what.

A similar situation had already occurred in the Ghostly Mist Sea Secret Land half a year ago. At that time, he spent a lot of effort to minimize the impact of the incident.

And this time, dozens of outstanding chunin and jounin died in Iwagakure Village. If there is no explanation, although it will not affect his status, people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate.

After all, for a long time, the idea that Iwagakure Village has instilled in the ninjas in the village is unity.

After thinking for a long time and weighing the pros and cons, Ohnoki finally made up his mind.

"Come on!"

A figure appeared in response: "The Third Generation!"

"Immediately notify several advisers and ministers of various ministries for a meeting."

"Yes."

After that, the figure disappeared.

"Hey~~~"

Then, a long sigh appeared in the office.

······

An hour later, in the conference room on the second floor of the Tsuchikage Building.

The rectangular conference table was full of people, including senior advisers and ministers from various ministries.

Although there were many people attending the meeting, the conference room was extremely quiet at this time, and everyone was looking at the documents in their hands carefully.

After an unknown amount of time, a light cough came from the main seat.

Immediately, everyone looked up at Ohnoki.

Their eyes were either worried or excited, but most of them were filled with surprise.

Two days ago, they received some orders, and all departments were busy nervously.

Although they had some guesses based on various signs, it was not until now that they understood Ohnoki's meaning.

War, a distant but familiar word appeared in everyone's minds at the same time.

Judging from the documents in his hand, Onoki was preparing for war.

Regarding what happened in the village a few days ago, Ohnoki also made selective statements in the document.

However, everyone ignored it at a glance. Compared to the war, this matter was not a big deal at all, even if it might be the trigger of the war.

"Cough cough."

Onoki cleared his throat and said, "You all know now that just three nights ago, Konoha ninjas invaded the village and sneaked into the secret room. Not only did they steal some confidential information, but they also killed dozens of people. The death of a companion.”

As he spoke, he slapped the table and raised his voice a bit: "This is a naked provocation. Iwagakure Village will never allow it, and neither will the dozens of dead companions. Therefore, I have decided."

Having said this, he paused, looked around at everyone, and said: "From today on, the village has entered the highest alert, and all departments have begun pre-war preparations as planned."

There was silence in the conference room. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. After a moment, they all responded in unison: "Yes, the Third Generation."

The reason why no one stood up to object was that, firstly, Ohnoki's prestige in Iwagakure Village was high enough, and secondly, he had already gotten angry with some high-level advisers and heads of powerful departments. These people all knew Ohnoki's true intentions, so they did not Speak out against it.

After everyone calmed down, Ohnoki spoke again: "Shi Yi."

Shi Yi on the side immediately sat up straight when he heard the sound and responded: "Yes."

"Deploy the ninjas stationed on the eastern and western borders as soon as possible and rush to the border near the Country of Grass before the end of the month."

"Yes, three generations of adults."

After hearing this order, several people below had a bit of confusion in their eyes.

However, seeing that other senior officials did not raise any objections, he did not speak.

After that, Onoki issued another order.

Everything seems to indicate that war is close at hand.

But will war really come?
