People in Hokage, just founded Xiao organization

In Konoha, Danzo's base, this man who was over fifty years old and had a desire for the position of Hokage far beyond ordinary people, excitedly put Hanzo's autographed letter from the Land of Rain back into the envelope.

Happy, really happy.

Although nothing has happened yet, Danzo's hands have begun to tremble slightly at this moment.

Just some time ago, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen promised him to establish his own ANBU organization "Root", and now Hanzo took the initiative to contact him.

Whether inside or outside Konoha, his strength has been greatly enhanced. This time he just went to destroy a small organization. Although there were strong men like Kakuzu in it, under Hanzo's contact, Kiri The hidden water shadow also agreed to personally participate in this "bandit" operation.

Just wiping out the opposition in Yugakure's country is a sure thing.

What made him even more happy was that after his investigation, he found out that the three leaders of the Akatsuki organization, two women and one man, were actually the disciples that Jiraiya took during the Second Ninja War.

Jiraiya was a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi. When Hiruzen Sarutobi said he didn't know, he didn't believe it.

Hum hum, if you cultivate private power abroad and interfere in other countries' internal affairs, you have to make a fuss about it afterwards.

Although Danzo is not disgusted with this kind of thing, and even practices it himself, people are always more tolerant to themselves. He must keep this handle in his hands and use it to fight at critical moments in the future. play cards.

It seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, has been in the position for a few years, and it is time for him to step down and give way to others.

"Give me the order to mobilize the 'Blood Ax' troops. We have a big task ahead."

Danzo walked out of the basement with satisfaction. The 'Blood Axe' was a private and exclusive force created by Danzo himself before the establishment of the Roots. Now that the Roots were established, he simply classified this unit into the Roots.

And on that side of the sea,

country of water,

This is an island country with a unique culture. The country is located deep in the mountains. Its territory is often covered by thick fog. It faces the Hokage Continent across the sea and is completely isolated from other countries. Although the country is surrounded by sea water on all sides, Surrounded by many peaks, there are still special terrains.In addition, the large and small islands around the main island also have various customs and habits, and there are many islanders who live according to the customs.Being far away from the mainland and separated by the ocean is the reason why the Kingdom of Water rarely intervened in mainland disputes in the past.

"That old fox from Konoha is also involved?"

In Mizukage's office, the man sitting on the office chair is a handsome man who looks very quiet. He has flowing black hair and his eyes are closed. It's hard to believe that such a person is Kirigakure's Mizukage. grown ups.

The selection of Mizukage in Kirigakure is different from the [Kage] in other countries. In the country of water, Kirigakure's board of elders has a very high status. All government affairs are handled by the board of elders. Mizukage is only responsible for the person with the highest combat power in Kirigakure. .

However, the Sandaime Mizukage had had enough of this kind of life.

Is there anyone in the world who has not gained real power?

"Master Mizukage, this is what Hanzo wrote in his letter."

The old fox of Konoha and the demigod Hanzo of the ninja world are both powerful figures in their country. If he can get their help, his plan to seize power in the Land of Rain may progress smoothly.

However, the Sandaime Mizukage and Shimura Danzo were both fooled by Hanzo.

Hanzo's letter to the Country of Water said that Danzo had agreed to cooperate, but the letter to the Country of Fire said that the Mizukage had already left for the country. Both of them thought that this was a negotiated deal, and they were short of joining the tripartite alliance.

"Good, good, good."

The Sandaime Mizukage said three good words in a row, and then looked out the window at the foggy Kirigakure.

As a follower of the first generation Mizukage who followed the first Five Kage Conference, he has had enough of the current days of being restrained. What he wants is real power, not the country's mascot, a beautiful weapon that is only displayed in front of the hall. , only responsible for deterring the existence of foreign enemies.

"Blue, the time has come, the future Kirigakure belongs to us."

After hearing Mizukage's words, the secretary who was helping him read Hanzo's autographed letter tucked his shoulder-length hair behind his ears, and then showed a charming smile, as bright as a flower.

Yes, Mizukage-sama!

······

The sun still rises as usual, and the order of heaven and earth remains the same as it was in ancient times. It has never been different.

It's like this heavy rain in the Land of Rain is no different from the past.

The heavy rain continued, like a child who could only cry after being bullied.

"What's going on? Xiaonan's team has returned to the base an hour later than usual."

Yahiko's face was full of worry, and even Nagato couldn't contact her through the ring. Something must have happened to Konan.

"Yahiko, something big happened!"

A thick lightning flashed in the sky, followed by a series of thunderous explosions. Nagato, who was covered in rain, rushed in from the pouring rain. Now he was as embarrassed as a drowned rat.

"What's wrong? Didn't you go out to look for Xiaonan just now? Where is Xiaonan?"

"That's it. I searched all the way from there to Hades Valley, but I didn't see Xiaonan. Instead, I found the bodies of her team members, and I also left this piece of paper on the bodies. "

Yahiko took the piece of paper handed over by Nagato. It was special oiled paper made waterproof when Konan used paper escape.

There was a short string of words written on this piece of paper.

[If you want to see its owner, Yahiko should go to Panyun Ridge before sunset today, otherwise he should collect the body for her. 】

"how come?"

Yahiko felt his eyes darken. Xiaonan was his friend who shared the same hardships with him, and she was also Yehanchuan's woman. If something happened to Xiaonan, how could he have the honor to see him in the future.

"What should I do, Yahiko..."

"What can I do? Go, I must go!"

Yahiko clenched his fists, trying to save Konan this time even if it cost his own life.

"After the last slide show of the ring, the chakra stored in the ring was not enough for projection, but I have told Ye Hanchuan that something happened here."

"Have you told him? Well... where are the others in Kakuzu?"

"Kakuzu went on a bounty mission early this morning, and he hasn't come back yet. Damn it, what happened to him? He should be back by this time!"

Nagato banged the wall again and again, his words filled with unwillingness and anger.

"Nagato, take people outside Panyun Ridge and meet Xiaonan and me when the time comes."

"No, I'll go with you and leave this matter to the monks."

Looking at Nagato's samsara eyes shining with purple ripples, Yahiko did not refute this time.

That's right, even if you save Xiaonan by yourself, you may not be able to break out of Panyun Ridge.
