Konoha's Sea of ​​Fire

After restoring his body to its peak, Feng Huo's devil training was naturally reduced by most. He should have returned to Team Tsunade to go through D-level missions with Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma, but that would be a complete waste of time for him. With the last three battles approaching, he had to postpone his return to the team and practice like crazy.

The warm and ordinary days slipped away quietly, but the friction at the national border continued to escalate, and the grim situation became increasingly clear.

"Lord Hokage, we have found traces of the Suna Ninja again. This time they have penetrated three hundred miles into the Land of Fire. This is already a serious diplomatic incident."

"Hokage-sama, traces of Sunagakure's activities were also found in the south."

"Hokage-sama, Arisagakure sneaked into the village a hundred miles away."

As Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to this information, his expression became increasingly grim.

Snapped

"Does Sand Hidden Village want to declare war with us?" An angry Sarutobi Hiruzen started to protest.

Next to him, the head of the ANBU, Hatake Sakumo, said solemnly: "Hokage-sama, if Sunagakure declares war with us, our situation will be very unhappy."

In the past few years, the relationship between the Fire Nation and other countries has been tense.

It is certain that once Sunagakure and Konoha go to war, the Iwa Ninja of the Earth Kingdom and the Cloud Hidden Village of the Thunder Kingdom will definitely make trouble for Konoha.

Even Kirigakure from the Kingdom of Water may come across the sea

If that happens, the Fire Country will be really in danger

"Do we need to send an envoy to negotiate?" Hatake Sakumo asked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen squinted his eyes and began to think.

Hatake Sakumo waited quietly.

"No, there is no need to send an envoy." Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes exuded strong confidence, "The Third Kazekage does not have the confidence to launch a war."

"Then what to do with the Sand Ninja who invaded the Land of Fire?"

"Catch them and hand them over to the Torture Department. I want to know what happened in Sunagakure Village."

Huhu

Yellow sand roared and flew all over the sky, and the boundary between heaven and earth became extremely blurred at this time.

In Sunagakure Village, in Kazekage's office, consultant Chiyo and several elders were gathering here anxiously.

"I haven't found Kazekage-sama yet," Chiyo said angrily.

Several elders looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Chiyo-sama, we suspect that the ninjas of Konoha kidnapped the Kazekage-sama"

"That's right, Lord Kazekage's Blood Succession Limited Magnetic Release is very powerful. He is the strongest Kazekage in the village. Among the five major countries, only Konoha has the strength to kidnap him."

"It's not wrong. It must be them, Chiyo-sama, to start the war."

Chiyo had a sullen face and said nothing.

War is not a child's play. Once started, blood will flow like rivers. His son and daughter-in-law will die on the battlefield.

"You must not start a war without conclusive evidence," Chiyo shouted coldly.

Although Chiyo is only a consultant, she is the wife of the first Kazekage. Her prestige in the village is very terrifying. Even the Kazekage must be polite.

When she said that she could not start a war, the other elders naturally did not dare to refute her.

"However, Chiyo-sama, Kazekage-sama's disappearance cannot be hidden for long, once it is spread," an elder said worriedly.

"I will bear all the consequences." Chiyo sighed, turned and left, "Continue to send more ninjas to search, and we must find Lord Kazekage."

"Yes"

After leaving Kazekage's office, Chiyo walked and walked, and couldn't help but come to her lovely grandson's home.

"Scorpion, are you at home?" Chiyo asked standing outside the door.

"Ah, it's grandma." Xie was stunned, and then he put a corpse in the room away.

In the printed scroll.

"I'm in." Chiyo walked in with a gentle smile on his face, "Haha, my lovely grandson is making puppets."

"Yes, I want to create eternal art." Xie said expressionlessly.

"You are so ambitious," Chiyo praised, "Xiao, you are a genius puppet master. You can definitely make it happen. Grandma believes in you."

"Yeah." Xie nodded slightly.

"By the way, Scorpion, just stay at home in the past few days and don't run around, you know." Chiyo warned, "Someone has disappeared in the village, and I don't want you to be next."

Xie raised his head slightly, paused, and said slowly: "I understand."

"Then, I'll go first."

Chiyo's footsteps slowly disappeared.

Xie took out the seal scroll and took out the body inside.

If Chiyo had just turned around at this moment, he would have discovered that this corpse was that of the Third Kazekage, whom they had to dig deep and dig deep to find.

Xie concentrated on dissecting the corpse of the Third Kazekage and filling it with various puppet props.

"eternal, eternal"

Xie's eyes exuded persistence and fanaticism, and he murmured, "This material is the best in the village. I must not waste it. Magnetic Release, yes, Magnetic Release, even if it is a puppet, I must master it." Magnetic Escape, this is the art of eternal puppetry.”

Land of Rain, Akatsuki headquarters.

"Konan, is it true, you really met the ninjas of Konoha?" Yahiko grabbed Konan's shoulders excitedly, "Is Jiraiya-sensei okay?"

"Really, I managed to gather those wandering ninjas with great difficulty, and you didn't even ask me first," Konan hummed softly, then burst into laughter when she saw Yahiko scratching his orange hair in embarrassment, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, don't worry, Jiraiya-sensei is doing well, this is what Tsunade-senpai, who is also one of the Sannin, told me."

Next to him, a red-haired Nagato came over: "It's been a long time since I last saw Jiraiya-sensei. I really miss the days with him."

"Yes, yes, although he is always careless and not serious, he is really a good teacher." Yahiko exuded a bright smile, "One day, when we bring peace to the entire ninja world, we will definitely be able to see him again. Come from Teacher Laiye”

Xiao Nan smiled, but at this moment her smile suddenly became stiff, and a young face suddenly flashed in her mind.

Akatsuki and Hanzo must have a battle

Thinking of the young man's words, Xiao Nan wanted to laugh, but at the same time, a chill suddenly rose in her heart.

Can Sanshou Hanzo really tolerate Akatsuki's growth?

No, no, we are not competing for the dominance of the Rain Country. We do not have any conflict of interest with Sanshouyu Hanzo. He will not take action against us.

Xiaonan tried her best to convince herself in her heart.

"What's wrong, Xiaonan? You don't look very good. Are you sick?" Yahiko asked nervously.

"Idiot, how could a ninja get sick?" Nagato said angrily.

"It's nothing, I just thought of some unhappy things. I'm fine." Xiaonan suppressed her uneasiness and asked, "What are we going to do next?"

Speaking of business, Yahiko showed a solemn look: "We have received information that a large number of ninjas from Sunagakure Village have entered the Kingdom of Rain. It is preliminary judged that their target is the Kingdom of Fire."

"Why is there going to be a war?" Xiaonan said in shock.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out," Yahiko said calmly, "Our information is not sufficient yet and we need to continue to collect it. It would be great if we could cooperate with the Rain Ninja Village."

The anxiety in Xiaonan's heart came out again.

"However, even if we propose cooperation, the ninja demigod will not agree. After all, we are just a small organization, haha." Yahiko shrugged and continued, "So, we can only rely on ourselves."
