Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En's faces were gloomy, their hearts were filled with doubts and fears: Could it be that Sarutobi Hiruzen discovered that they had embezzled the village's finances? Impossible, they were careful with every step, leaving no trace.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the two men remain silent, his anger growing even stronger: "I was ordered to act in times of crisis! The village was in trouble both internally and externally, but Konoha managed to survive. I thought the village only had external enemies now! But now I understand! The village's biggest problem is from within!"

His words were full of disappointment and anger; every word carried a heavy weight, weighing down the hearts of those present.

"As an old friend, this is all I have to say. I hope you won't let me down again!"

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen resolutely left the meeting room with a heart full of anger and disappointment.

As the Hokage left, the atmosphere in the conference room became heavier.

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other, "It seems that Hiruzen has discovered something. This time it may be difficult to get through."

Mitomon En's brows were furrowed. "It's not like I haven't noticed it before. Why is there such a big reaction this time? I really don't understand."

Utane Koharu pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Who knows? Anyway, let's go find Danzo first. He is the one who knows Hiruzen best, and he will definitely find a way to persuade Hiruzen."

"Danzo, it's hard to find. Hiruzen has arranged many people."

"It doesn't matter. My people are inside. They will find a chance for us to meet."

"You arranged that, too?"

The two men looked at each other meaningfully, stood up, and hurriedly left the meeting room, their hearts filled with depression. They might end up sitting on the bench with Danzo this time.

-

"Konoha!"

Following a crackling sound, a roar exploded in the ears of the Sand Village Anbu again.

"How many times has this happened to our Master Kazekage recently?"

"I don't know. Anyway, since the two elders of the Rain Country were captured, they have appeared frequently."

"A-B! Go gather the village's elite!"

"Yes!"

The two ninjas trembled in fear, but answered quickly, turning and disappearing into the shadows.

In the combat meeting room of Fengying Building,

The Third Kazekage stood in front of the conference table, his eyes sweeping across every elite ninja present like a sharp blade, his heart filled with anxiety and anger.

"Another battle report has arrived from the front. Konoha has defeated our army at the border of the Rain Country and is about to enter the land of the Wind Country. The Daimyo has already sent a condemnation!"

The voice of the Third Kazekage was filled with anger and powerlessness, his blue hair and yellow eyes were burning with rage, and the Kazekage robe on his body whistled with his movements. The ninjas below were trembling with fear, and no one dared to make a sound.

"Lord Kazekage, are we going to make peace with Konoha this time? The situation is very unfavorable to us now!"

"Moonlight Without Trace! Konoha has already invaded our homes, and you tell me to make peace? How can we, the Sand Village, put our dignity aside! I have received intelligence that the boy who uses Wood Release has been transferred back to Konoha by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and this time Shukaku has been deployed to the battlefield! Konoha's hand must be broken first!"

"Lord Kazekage! But the Daimyo has not allocated funds since the war began. The village is out of money."

"Yuexia Wuhen! You go and tell the Daimyo in person that Konoha is about to invade the Kingdom of Wind. We need a lot of supplies now. If we don't get them, if the Ninja Realm appears near the capital, we will be powerless."

"Yes, Kazekage-sama!"

It seems that the Third Kazekage is determined to teach Konoha a lesson this time. The tailed beasts have been sent out and even the daimyo is threatened. How will the village live in the future? However, as his subordinate, I can only obey his orders.

"This time, all of you families, pay attention! Don't hide anything! Bring out all the ninjas, including those who are not registered!"

The voice of the Third Kazekage echoed in the conference room, shaking everyone's hearts.

Then he left the meeting room without looking back, like a volcano about to erupt, making people dare not look directly at him.

"They're all trash!"

Fengying returned to the office and looked at the documents in his hands with a heavy heart. His mood could only be described as terrible.

The village was already poor and weak, with several elders captured, and even the younger generation of Shuichi and Yuki were captured. The battle with Konoha also suffered heavy losses, and the daimyo had to drag him down from time to time. All of this made him feel unprecedented pressure and he felt exhausted.

"Teacher! Is the village really in danger this time? I also want to go to the battlefield and fight for the village!"

A voice broke the Kazekage's contemplation. He looked up and saw the boy who inherited his Magnet Escape. A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He had high hopes for this boy in terms of both his character and talent, but the only regret was that he was too young.

"No, Luo Sha, your current task is to improve your strength as quickly as possible. Your current strength is not enough to determine the victory of a battle."

There was a hint of severity in the voice of the Third Kazekage, but more of it was concern and expectations for Rasa.

"Teacher, is the person who caused our Sunagakure to fail really called Yanagishita?"

Luo Sha was a little disappointed when he heard that he was rejected, but he also knew that this was the teacher's concern for him and the fire left for the village. However, he thought of the boy he had faced before, the opponent who shocked him.

"Yes, that's right. He is the boy who defeated you. I didn't expect him to grow so fast. I should have paid more attention to him before."

A complex emotion flashed in the eyes of the Sandai Kazekage. He had the opportunity to deal with the young man, but he did not take it seriously. If he could have taken action personally at that time, perhaps he could have solved the village's biggest threat at that time!

But now it's all too late. Fortunately, Konoha is not an iron barrel. As long as there are flaws, there is no need to be afraid!

-

"Danzo! Say something!"

There was obvious anxiety and dissatisfaction in Utane Koharu's voice, and her eyes were fixed on the silent Danzo in front of her.

He and Mitomon En took great pains to sneak in, but Danzo was lying there motionless like a dead man!

"Yes, Danzo, Konoha is our hard work, we can't just stand by and watch Sarutobi Hiruzen do whatever he wants!"

Mitomon En also joined in the persuasion.

Danzo Shimura slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a hint of contempt and disappointment. Looking at the two former colleagues in front of him, he sighed in his heart: They are really guys who are incapable of accomplishing anything, and are always causing trouble.

"You didn't know how to worry before, but now that something has gone wrong, you know to look for me?"
