Naruto: Crossing the Still Water, Starting from the Blind

On the mountain behind Longyin Village, five figures appeared together.

Yamato exclaimed: "It's really the Flying Thunder God. Where did you steal this from...!!"

Ruoshui did not answer Yamato's question, but simply left a 'positive' Flying Thunder God mark on Yamato's shoulder, and then looked at Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, you haven't had a good rest since you followed me to Takigakure Village. Come on, go catch up on some sleep..."

Orochimaru said: "I have no problem, you can still hold on~"

Does Ruoshui really care about Orochimaru's sleeping problem?No, he didn't want Orochimaru to see him looking like a toddler.

So he gave the order: "Go to bed quickly. When I wake up, I have something to discuss with you!"

"Okay~"

Orochimaru shrugged and disappeared.

As for Kari and the white Zetsu.

One was a loyal slave under the command of another god, and the other was a lovely dependent due to the genetic affinity of the golem. It was harmless to see anything, so they were allowed to stay.

Yamato looked at the 'Zheng' on his shoulder, Zhengliu Shenwu Zhu: Is this the mark of the Flying Thunder God?Being slapped with this, wouldn't it mean that I would run to the ends of the earth and...

"Yamato-sensei?"

Ruoshui's gentle call made Yamato shudder: "Yes... yes."

Ruoshui said: "Can you start your teaching?"

Yamato calmed down and said: "You, what do you want to learn..."

Ruoshui said: "Mudun."

Yamato: "I know, what I mean is... is there a specific technique for wood release?"

Good guy... he's testing my understanding of Mu Dun to determine whether I should have any reservations, right?

Ruoshui pinched her chin: "My requirements are not high, let's start with 'Real Thousands of Hands'?"

"..." Yamato was stunned.

Ruoshui thought thoughtfully: "Is it really a bit difficult? Then I'll take a step back... Let's start from the Mingshen Gate."

Yamato wiped the sweat from his face: "I have heard of these two techniques... they are in the category of senjutsu, and I can't teach them."

Ruoshui's eyes were easy-going: "Oh, then just do whatever you want."

There are really thousands of Mingshen Sect, and he even knows the lost Immortal Technique of Wood Escape?It seems...it's impossible for me to hide my secrets!And this Flying Thunder God Mark is clearly a warning to me. Forget it, forget it, it’s better not to play tricks with him. If Uchiha Shisui learns Wood Release from me, then at least, Is he also a 'teacher'?

That's right... I, Yamato, am Shunshen Shisui's teacher! !

Yamato instantly felt that his back was straightened, and he put all the psychological burdens caused by worries about life and death, justice and humanity behind, and devoted himself to the role of 'teacher'!

"Then, I will teach you the technique called Wood Release from the shallower to the deeper. You have learned the 'Big Forest Technique' before, so I will teach you an extension of the big forest - 'Wood Release - Violence'. Gun Tree' bar!"

Ruoshui was very interested: "Oh~! Is that a trick that Danzo can use well? Please teach it to me quickly~!"

……

On the other hand, because they had not received contact from the vanguard for a long time, Iwagakure sent a search team to cross the border of the Land of Fire again. In the mountain stream where they were fighting, they discovered the horrific corpses of Higashikata and Omo. !

"That's horrible……"

"Where's Hunting?"

"There are traces of the use of Explosive Escape at the scene, but there is no sign of Kari..."

"If you can kill Dong Shiluo and Omo in front of Shou, I'm afraid Shou will be in trouble."

"Who is it! Who is the ninja who attacked Konoha!"

"Hey...look at that!"

The 'wooden ingot wall' left by Yamato is still sitting among the rocks!

The captain of the search team had an intriguing smile on his lips: "Oh? Wooden ninja? Indeed, everything makes sense. I think it is necessary to ask our Lord Tsuchikage for instructions~!"

The next morning, under the cover of Yamato, Aoba and Mitarashi Anko, who returned to Konoha safely, also reported the situation truthfully to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Yamashiro Aoba knelt down on one knee, pressed his fist hard on the floor, and said sadly: "This is the situation. In order to protect us thoroughly, Tenzou faced Iwagakure's trio alone, so Anko and I can return safely!"

Hiruzen smoked his pipe and looked seriously: "Are you sure...the three Iwagakure are the Explosive Kari, Higashikata, and Omo?"

Yamashiro Aoye gritted his teeth: "It's absolutely true!"

"Alas." Hiruzen let out a long sigh: "Tianzang, the danger is far worse."

Yamashiro Aoba was indignant: "Iwagakure entered the country without permission! Killing our ninjas is enough to show their intention to provoke a war! Lord Hokage, please weigh your decision!"

Hiruzen lowered his eyes: "Things have not yet reached an irreversible point. We must try our best to avoid war..."

Aoba raised his head: "What do you mean...!?"

Hiruzen said: "Don't make any noise about Tenzo for now. When those three people come to Konoha, we will try our best to resolve this matter through diplomatic channels..."

Aoba: "That day Zang... it was all for nothing!?"

Hiruzen: "The peace so far is based on the sacrifices and selfless dedication of countless ninjas. In the Uchiha incident, we lost many jounin. It is not wise to start a war at this moment. Regarding Tenzo, I deeply regret it, but in order to avoid greater sacrifices, we must remain calm at this moment, do you understand?"

Even though Yamashiro Aoba was unwilling, under the constraints of the overall situation, he could only turn into helpless obedience.

"I understand!"

Aoba left, Hiruzen smoked his pipe, frowned, and there was a knock on the door.

"Anbu, Uoyuki Xiyan, come and report."

Hiruzen: "Come in!"

The door opened, and Xi Yan walked in with a haggard face. Her right eye and the right half of her cheek had been wrapped in black gauze. The exposed left cheek was bloodless, and the look in her left eye was also bleak. It could be seen that she had not yet recovered from the tragic death of the wind. In pain, come out completely.

Hiruzen: "Xiyan, you don't have to rush back to work, you can rest for a while."

Xiyan: "I am a ninja, and I cannot neglect my duties because of my own feelings."

Hiruzen nodded: "Thank you for your hard work..."

A few days ago, when Xiyan just woke up, Hiruzen went to visit her.

At that time, Xi Yan was in grief: "Lord Hokage, I hope you can give Hayate justice. Danzo's treatment of his compatriots is a capital crime no matter what! I hope you can deal with Danzo impartially!"

The so-called impartiality... means executing Danzo.

Hiruzen was smoking his pipe at the time, and after thinking deeply, he replied.

"What Danzo did to Hayate was too cruel, too bad, and death would not be a pity."

"But after all, Danzo has been in that position for many years. If we want to execute him, I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance now. But Xiyan, I promise you that when I find the successor of the next Hokage, I will definitely execute Danzo. Comfort the spirit of the strong wind in the sky..."

At this moment, Xi Yan put on the mask of the past. In fact, in the dungeon of Higen, Danzo said personally that it was the Hokage who tacitly allowed him to get the 'right eye', and she was already frustrated with the Hokage and Konoha. It was cold, and the reason why she stayed was the remaining will of fire in her heart, and the hope that one day Danzo would be killed, and Hayate would be able to avenge him.

At night, Hiruzen, accompanied by ANBU, came to the entrance of the village, waiting for the arrival of the three people from Toshira. Unexpectedly... what he waited for was a 'letter' from Iwagakure!

The 'petition' claimed that the vanguard team sent by Iwagakure to negotiate peace with Konoha died at the hands of the Mudun ninja sent by Konoha, and asked Muye Village to hand over the missing 'Bakudun Hunter' and the 'Mudun Hunter' Escape Ninja's head, otherwise... Iwagakure Village will launch an all-out war against Konoha!

After seeing it, Hiruzen Sarutobi almost fainted!

"How could it...become like this, Tenzo, what have you done!?"

The imminent situation was beyond Hiruzen's ability to adapt... He instinctively thought of one person!

That's right... the one imprisoned in Konoha's Death Row - Shimura Danzo!

Hiruzen pulled down the Hokage's hat and said, "Kakashi, follow me, everyone else, stay where you are..."
