Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 230: Inseparable from Konoha

"Mabuyi!"

Seeing the girl who was obviously not in the right state of mind, Ai said loudly: "I promise, Takay's blood will not be shed in vain, and I will make the murderer who hurt him pay with his blood!!!"

"..."

Mabuyi opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Only tears fell down like broken pearls. The extremely intense sadness completely submerged the girl. Looking at this sad person, she couldn't even speak. Girl, Ai felt quite uncomfortable.

"Lord Raikage, can I... go see my father?"

Mabuyi hoarsely made a request.

"Don't go, Mabuyi, listen to me. You can go see your father after you pack up. Now...you can cry as much as you want." Ai racked his brains to comfort the sad man in front of him. As a young girl, he knew how feeble these words were at this time.

In addition,

There wasn't much for him to do.

In this heavy environment where I dare not breathe hard,

"Lord Raikage, Lord Fruy is here."

The ANBU captain appeared next to Ai, breaking the unbearable silence.

"Mabuyi...go home first! Your mother still needs you! Takayi, after your father's funeral...is settled, I will send someone to contact you and Your mother’s.”

Ai warned the girl again, then hurriedly turned around and returned to the scene of the crime.

Wait for him to come back,

I saw an old man on crutches standing next to Takayi's body and looking at it carefully. He even reached out to touch the dark red wood thorn with a strong bloody smell, and then the old man There was a look of deep astonishment on his face.

"Senior Fruy, is it really Mu Dun who killed Takayi?"

Ai walked to the old man's side and asked softly.

This old man named 'Fruy' is the second-generation Raikage, one of the most trusted arms of Ai's grandfather. After the second-generation Raikage was killed in a surprise attack by the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers, Fruy assisted the third-generation Raikage. He had firmly grasped the power of Yunyin Village, and it was not until eight years ago that he began to take care of himself due to old age and frailty.

Therefore,

Even Ai, the Raikage, would add the honorific title 'Senior' when facing Fruy, while others would add 'Sir' after Fruy's name, because Fruy is He has been the Raikage's assistant for over thirty years.

And the reason why I came to Fruy at this time,

Because of Fruy's rich experience, this old man was a survivor who was lucky enough to witness the First Hokage's Wood Release and survived after that.

"It's Wood Dun!"

Fruy appeared to be in poor health and needed a cane to walk.

But his voice sounded very powerful, not weak at all. He said decisively: "This thing is definitely a wood escape technique!!"

"It's really Wooden... and there's the Sharingan, so the perpetrator is Konoha?" Ai looked at Takai's body, with a strong murderous intention in his eyes, and murmured Said: "Is this... revenge?"

He remembered the messenger sent by the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha some time ago.

The one who accused their Kumo ninja of illegally stealing the blood of the Uchiha clan resulted in the death of many Konoha ninjas.

This issue--

It's not an injustice.

<divclass="contentadv">Although the plan to steal the Uchiha clan's bloodline was not planned by him, but by a new young high-ranking official in the village who was eager to make contributions and did not obtain the approval of him, the Raikage. Under such circumstances, he secretly promoted the implementation of the plan, and for this purpose, he also used the chess piece that had finally joined the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in Kirigakure Village.

can result,

But he lost his wife and lost his troops.

Not only did he not get the blood of the Uchiha clan, but he also got the chess piece that became one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in Kirigakure Village and several jounin. What's even more embarrassing is that he still hasn't figured out what happened. What happened, because...Konoha didn't pretend to be at a disadvantage, but really got a lot of help.

Even the eldest son of the Sandaime Hokage was sacrificed.

However, no matter what kind of accident happened, Ai knew clearly in his heart that the source of this incident was their Cloud Hidden Village. It was entirely possible that Konoha would take revenge for this, so it was clear in front of Konoha's envoys After expressing his disapproval of Konoha's accusations and sending the Konoha envoy away,

He was already prepared for the revenge of the Konoha ninja.

They even considered the possibility that Konoha might spark another war.

But I never expected——

What awaits is the assassination of his closest confidants!

"But brother, since the death of the First Hokage, no one in Konoha has used the Wood Release Technique in so many years. In the eyes of many young people, the Wood Release Blood Succession Limit is something in legends, just like the myth of the Six Paths Sage. The 'Tiannum Spear' used to open up the world."

Kirabi raised objections at this time, "Even if we take a step back, if Konoha uses some method to make the Wood Release Blood Succession Limit appear again, I don't think Konoha will send ninjas who have the Wood Release Blood Successor Limit to us. There are assassinations in Hidden Cloud Village...not to mention that the person who killed Takai is suspected to be an Uchiha!"

"It is absolutely impossible for people like the Sandaime Hokage to hand over the power of Wood Release to an Uchiha."

Kirabi asserted.

"Bi, you are right. The Sandaime Hokage and the others will never give the power of Wood Release to Uchiha." Ai did not deny Kirabi's point of view, but nodded in agreement. Over the years, the five major ninja villages have They have been sending spies to infiltrate each other. They don't know each other's situation very well, but they don't have a blind eye either.

The obvious information that the Uchiha clan was being ostracized in Konoha Village was naturally in the hands of the senior officials of other villages.

"But, Bi, you haven't considered another possibility!" Ai changed the subject.

"what?"

Kirabi blinked in confusion.

"It's not necessarily an Uchiha who has mastered the Wood Release. Maybe it's a ninja who has mastered the Wood Release and got the Sharingan!" Ai said another possibility he thought of.

"This... how can this be..."

Kirabi stopped abruptly mid-sentence.

Theoretically,

This is entirely possible. Considering the relationship between the Sandaime Hokage and others of Konoha Village and the Uchiha clan, experimenting with the Uchiha clan's Sharingan... there is no problem at all, so a simultaneous It's not impossible to control a monster with wood escape and sharingan!

"Of course, these are all our speculations in the end, and there is no evidence to support them. It's just that... whether it's Wood Release or Sharingan, these are all blood inheritance limits that belong to Konoha. The perpetrator who killed Takai is inseparable from Konoha no matter what."

Saying,

Ai turned around and looked to the southwest, which was the direction of the Fire Country and the Leaf Village.
