Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

♂nbsp; The riot that occurred on the border of Earth Country was learned by the ninjas of Iwagakure the next day.

For today's Yanyin Village, this incident can be said to have made things worse.

The demolition force headed by Kari is one of the most elite troops in the entire Iwagakure Village, and the team of Iwa nin who followed Ohnoki out earlier were also elites carefully selected from among the jounin. In just a few days, they suffered devastating blows one after another. This level of loss cannot be described by a simple sentence.

The various traces of ninjutsu that Obito deliberately left in place also successfully caused the Iwagakure Village to turn its attention to Konoha.

The border between the two countries of Fire and Earth was always in constant friction. When the news of Onoki's injury spread, it was only natural for Konoha to send people to test the truth. No matter how Konoha responds to this matter, this suspicion will definitely not be eradicated.

Within Iwagakure Village, there were already some voices that wanted to retaliate against the Fire Country, but they were all suppressed by Ohnoki.

This extraordinarily restrained reaction has also been interpreted in various ways by the outside world.

After all, Onoki himself has always been a representative of the hardliners. Even though he is over seventy years old, his behavior is still strong and violent. But now, he actively restrains and restrains the actions of the Iwagakure ninja, showing weakness to the outside world in disguise.

These abnormal changes actually led several other villages to confirm the news that Ohnoki was injured.

For a time, people in Yanyin Village were panicked, and the various villages that heard the news behaved differently. There are many people who are gloating about Iwagakure's misfortune, but there are also people who have noticed the shadow of the Akatsuki organization lurking behind the incident, as well as the Hidden Leaf Village, which is said to be the murderer who caused the reduction of more than half of the demolition force. Kumogakure, as an ally of Iwagakure, issued a fierce refutation and severely condemned Konoha's actions of adding insult to injury.

For the Third Hokage of Konoha, this criticism came out of nowhere.

It can be said that when a person is sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky.

Leaf Village.

Hokage Tower.

The Third Hokage looked at the scroll spread out in front of him and frowned: "Are you sure it was Bai Yu's handwriting?"

"Yes."

The person standing across from the desk was wearing an ANBU uniform and had a mask on his face, but his tall figure still clearly marked his identity.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

"Our manpower has rushed to Kawanoki, managed to bypass the opponent's eyes and ears, and carefully surveyed the location where the battle took place. Coupled with the information obtained from the black market in Kawanoki, the person who defeated Onoki was confirmed to be Bai Yu. In addition, Bai Yu’s current bounty on the black market has climbed to 120 million taels, which is almost equivalent to the Five Shadows of the five major countries.”

While talking, Sarutobi Shinnosuke took out a portrait from his arms and placed it on the table.

The person in the portrait is dressed in a red cloud robe with a black background. He has a delicate appearance. Although his writing style is a bit rough, he can be seen to be 70-80% similar to Bai Mingyu.

The third generation nodded, resting his chin on his hands.

Although things like the black market have always been in a gray area suppressed by ninjas, it is still an extremely convenient channel for inquiring about information. Especially in the Kingdom of Kawa, a subsidiary force that does not belong to the Kingdom of Fire, it is often more convenient to obtain information through the black market than the painstaking investigation by ANBU, and it is understandable to use it occasionally.

As for the bounty

This is even more normal in the ninja world.

Including the five major ninja villages, most of the elite ninjas with names have varying amounts of rewards on the black market. Some of them are issued by hostile countries, while others are issued because of personal grudges. The bounties for jounin are almost more than 10 million taels, and for people like Asuma who have extra titles on their heads, the bounty amount is Even more amazing, it even gave birth to a group of bounty hunters.

Then again,

Although the amount of the bounty cannot directly represent the level of strength, because some very strong ninjas have not been included on the black market hunting list due to poor performance, in most cases, this number can already be used as a judgment. The standard of strength and weakness.

"This kid Bai Yu seems to have become stronger and stronger since he left the village."

Sandai looked at the portrait in his hand, took a few puffs of cigarette, and the color in his eyes was unclear.

"Are you worried?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke frowned.

""

Sandai was speechless.

If Jiraiya was still alive, he would not have such concerns. No matter how much trust he had in Bai Mingyu himself, Jiraiya's overall strength was stronger than his own, and he had mastered only one of the previous Hokages. The first generation and the fourth generation had learned the celestial arts disciples, and the third generation never worried about any accidents. Anyway, there was always room to take a step back. If one day he couldn't hold on and died, Jiraiya would naturally take the responsibility. The responsibility to support Konoha can be guessed without even looking at it.

But now

Jiraiya has died in the Hidden Rain Village.

Although the person who did it is said to be Payne, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, the specific battle process is still unknown until now.

As for his other two disciples, not to mention Orochimaru, Tsunade has never come out because of the trauma left by the Second Ninja War, and is still unwilling to take over the position of Hokage.

If something unexpected happens

With his aging body, it is difficult to make any checks and balances.

"Let's talk about these things later,"

The third generation shook his head, secretly letting out a bitter smile, lamenting that he had become more and more indecisive, and looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke with a pair of cloudy eyes: "The ambush of the Iwagakure blasting force two days ago, confirm who did it. Yet"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke shook his head.

"Here is the list of ninjas who went out in the past two days. I have observed the key suspects among them. So far, no one has found any suspicious traces. I do not rule out that some people avoid the barrier system in the village and go out privately, but it is more likely to be others. The forces used Konoha's reputation to initiate the frame-up, but under the current situation, Iwagakure cannot devote too much energy to verification, and it has probably been determined that it was us Konoha ninjas who did it."

"If you continue to send people to secretly investigate the situation in Iwagakure Village, if Ohnoki is really seriously injured by Bai Yu, then his behavior will change in the next period of time. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to investigate from the Land of Earth. Get some profits there," Sandai said, taking a few heavy puffs on his pipe.

As two neighboring powerful ninja villages, the relationship between Konoha and Iwagakure has never been very harmonious.

It's rare that an opportunity arises. Adhering to the principle of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, he still has to take advantage of him.
