Naruto Invasion: From becoming the first generation of water shadow

Not long after Itachi and Kisame left.

Konoha, inside Hokage's office.

The wrinkled Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the window alone.

After a while, a dark crow flew in from the window and landed firmly on his shoulder.

Sarutobi touched the crow on his shoulder and closed his eyes.

At the same time, the crow's eyes suddenly turned red, and a small stream of chakra surged out, injecting the message that needed to be conveyed into Sarutobi's body.

After a long time, Sarutobi opened his eyes and murmured to himself.

"Is the Kyuubi the purpose of [Akatsuki]?"

"Have they already gathered so many S-class traitorous ninjas?"

"Do you want to start another ninja war?"

Sensing the information Itachi secretly reported to him, Sarutobi also showed deep contemplation.

As the Hokage of Konoha, how could he not know when Danzo ordered Itachi to massacre the Uchiha clan?

Even after Itachi rebelled against the village, he would join the [Akatsuki] organization and become an undercover agent.

It is also one of his instructions.

over the years.

He and Itachi also maintained a secret relationship.

Let him grasp the information about [Xiao] bit by bit.

Unfortunately, in another world, he was forced to die in Orochimaru's "Konoha Collapse Plan" before he could tell the next generation of Hokage this information.

This allowed Itachi and Kisame to have no one to contact them when they sneaked into Konoha.

And now, Sarutobi, who unexpectedly survived and received a secret report from Itachi, naturally understands Akatsuki a little better.

Based on Itachi's secret report, he even realized

[Xiao] This rebel ninja organization is far more powerful and terrifying than I expected.

Of course, it is not easy to deal with this organization at present.

Even if Konoha comes out in full force, they may not be sure of victory.

On the contrary, it is possible to lose troops and generals, and suffer serious damage to vitality.

In addition, the next Hokage has not yet been determined.

Therefore, even though he knew a lot of information, Sarutobi still had to temporarily suppress the urge to take action against [Akatsuki].

'Unless we can unite several major ninja villages to attack [Akatsuki] together? '

A bold idea popped up in Sarutobi's mind.

Thinking about it, he opened the secret letter sent from [Mist Hidden Village] again.

Continue to ponder.

Before this, this matter had been discussed in Konoha's high-level meeting.

We are basically certain that [Misty Hidden Village] wants to stimulate the economy by opening up commerce and revitalize their village.

Sarutobi didn't object to this.

After all, Konoha and [Fire Country] are rich in resources, so even if they open up trade, they will not suffer much.

On the contrary, there are many benefits.

On the other hand, the two Hokage advisors had vague and wavering attitudes.

Coupled with Danzo's firm opposition.

This made him unable to make the final decision.

And now it seems.

It would also be a good idea to form a business alliance first, and then gradually contact several major ninja villages to deal with the [Akatsuki] organization together.

However, it is still quite troublesome to unify the opinions of the village's top management!

After all, due to democratic reasons, Konoha Village has never been the shadow of the Hokage.

Of course, the first and second generation adults are excepted...

Their "centralization" is based on strength and prestige.

……

boom--

A muffled sound.

The door to the Hokage's office was pushed open again.

Danzo, wearing a bandage, leaning on a cane and squinting his eyes, walked into the house.

Seeing this, Sarutobi immediately frowned.

"Danzo, what do you want to do? Have Gen's people captured the two attackers?"

"They ran away..."

Danzo replied very calmly.

Others don't know, doesn't he know the relationship between Uchiha Itachi and this old guy Sarutobi?

A ruthless man who slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan in one night.

Is it something a root ninja can handle?

Even if he catches up, he is still seeking death!

"Then what are you doing?"

"Let's talk about the business alliance."

Sarutobi frowned again: "Huh? Didn't I say this in the previous meeting? We should discuss it slowly and not in a hurry."

"Even if you object, you shouldn't bother me again!"

"I support the establishment of a business alliance!"

Danzo suddenly changed his words expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Sarutobi was even more shocked.

After all, in the previous meeting, Danzo was the one who firmly opposed it.

Otherwise, Konoha would have agreed long ago.

And this guy, now suddenly changed his mind to support, is he taking the wrong medicine?

"reason?"

"As the leader of Root, I must resist this kind of thing that brings risks to Konoha!"

"Oh? You mean, you don't object to it essentially?"

"Yes. Genbu has intercepted the secret report from [Yunyin Village]. The other side has agreed to the [Misty Hidden Village] business alliance proposal."

"Therefore, regardless of whether other ninja villages agree or not. Kirigakure and Kumogakure are bound to form a business alliance to increase trade."

"And if Konoha misses it, it will just sit back and watch these two great ninja villages grow. I will never allow it!"

"Therefore, Konoha should also join in!"

Danzo calmly gave his explanation.

Of course, this reasonable explanation was somewhat agreed upon by Sarutobi.

"Huh? Are [Cloud Hidden Village] joining so happily? It seems that Konoha has to make some changes!"

"Hahaha, Danzo, it's rare for us to have the same opinions!"

Seeing Danzo change his mind, Sarutobi became a little happy.

Over the years, his and Danzo's opinions had contradicted each other nine times out of ten.

This time, there is a rare unity.

"It's not me who agreed. It was Root and Konoha who agreed."

"On the surface, I will still oppose this business alliance!"

Danzo gritted his teeth and said firmly.

It seemed that he had made a lot of concessions before agreeing to this decision.

Sarutobi didn't care about this.

It is a good thing that Danzo can give in and agree, allowing Konoha to quickly finalize the decision on the business alliance.

Nothing else matters.

Anyway, as long as he is still here, Danzo will not be able to do any tricks!

"Okay, I'm leaving."

After expressing his attitude, Danzo quickly turned around and left without any hesitation.

Of course, when leaving.

The corners of his mouth slightly rose.

This was the only time in so many years that he agreed with Sarutobi's decision and supported the formation of a merchant alliance, which was not a sign of his kindness.

But it was premeditated!

Since the news that Saai brought back last time, he has reached an agreement with a new elder in Kirigakure.

Let him help the [Mist Hidden Village] revive.

Kirigakure supported him in taking the position of the next Hokage.

For this reason, Kirigakure has already informed them that once the business alliance is established.

Konoha will definitely suffer in business.

Danzo only needs to openly oppose the establishment of the merchant alliance, and secretly encourage Sarutobi to support the establishment of the merchant alliance.

By then, a business alliance will be established, and Konoha will be blamed for the losses.

Naturally, everything will be blamed on Sarutobi.

At that time, Danzo can take this opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people and successfully ascend to the throne of Hokage.

And [Mist Hidden Village] can also make a lot of profits and quickly revitalize.

This is the fundamental reason why Danzo approached Sarutobi privately and changed his mind to support him!

……

As for whether Konoha will be damaged as a result.

Danzo didn't care at all.

Just a little economic loss.

In his opinion, as long as he takes the position of Hokage and rules the entire village with great strength, Konoha will surely usher in another glory.

A little loss at this moment is nothing to worry about.

As for whether Kirigakure will become stronger because of this, Danzo doesn't care at all.

In his eyes, even if Kirigakure had a new elder who was more 'yin', he would never be able to compete with Konoha.

You can't even compete with yourself who has an entire 'Sharingan Twist Roll' arm!

Your own strength is the only guarantee of strength!

And Danzo had already weighed the pros and cons.

Successfully, he succeeded to the throne of Hokage and fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

If you fail, you won’t suffer any loss.

In short, this transaction is a profit but not a loss.

'snort!Elder Kirigakure, Suzumiya Akihi, I hope you can succeed! '

Danzo left the Hokage's office with a bit of a dark smile.

……

...

(Note here the connection between Sarutobi and Itachi.

Everyone basically knew that Itachi was an undercover agent.

But why did Konoha still know so little about [Akatsuki] after Itachi had been undercover for so long, and even had to ask 'Jiraiya' to investigate in person?

It was only possible that Itachi and Sarutobi were connected through a single line.

With Orochimaru's invasion, Sarutobi was forced to sacrifice himself, accidentally severing this connection.

This caused Konoha to suddenly lose all information about [Akatsuki].

And triggered a series of subsequent tragedies.

You must know that Sarutobi, who has become a mature man, cannot still know nothing about [Akatsuki] after Orochimaru, Itachi and others have joined [Akatsuki] for so many years.

This also explains why Itachi took the initiative to apply for a walk in Konoha at this time. )
