Naruto's caged bird

It was dark and dark. During the time when the candidates were practicing in the third round, two blurry figures in the darkness stood apart from each other. Only their voices could be heard.

"...After the matter is completed, the master of our country will fully support you."

After the hoarse voice stopped, he tucked away his gorgeous but inappropriate clothes. The air here is obviously more humid than where he lives, causing the skin that is used to dryness to shrink, making the ninja's body feel too loose and comfortable...

"How can we trust the promise of the Lord of your country?" The answering voice seemed a bit familiar, wise and slender. If you think about it carefully...you can feel a clear and moist accent that only comes from living in a place with heavy humidity.

He laughed evilly, and continued to induce him in a tone that the other party could not refuse:

"You must believe that Konoha will definitely support the person in your country who advocates peace. And on this point, the person in your country and Konoha have opposite attitudes. If Konoha is allowed to contact the person in your country, When the time comes, you conspirators will be..."

There was no movement of wiping his neck in the darkness, but he made that strange sound.

"Huh." Listening to the other party's fierce words, the figure who knew the current situation had to stay stiff in place.

He looked at the person in front of him who no longer refuted, and once again fierce words burned in his mouth.

"Our Lord really wants to influence the current situation in the Ninja World Continent. And you will either bring order to the chaos, or you will be purged afterwards... I'm right, you have been collecting intelligence..."

Chichi, cold light flashed...

The identity of a ninja was reflected on the dark figure's forehead. The mist ninja with round eyes pressed his fingertips deeply against the frame of his glasses. When lightning flashed again, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark night, the two figures standing apart seemed to have already disappeared into the dark conspiracy...

The isolated Mist Village of Water Country is the farthest country from the ninja continent among the five major countries. It is so far away that this country has not been invaded on a large scale by foreign powerful powers since its establishment. So far away that some are just isolated from the rest of the world, fighting alone on the island...

The Konoha ninja who traveled far away to deliver the news of the Chuunin Examination to the Water Country overseas just returned to the tallest building in Konoha Village to report.

"Third generation sir, information"

The dusty Konoha ninja stood in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he presented the sealed information scroll in his hand.

As the third round of the Chuunin Exams gets closer and closer, the ninjas who have notified the political leaders of various countries have returned to their villages one after another. Judging from the waterproof and sun-proof windbreaker worn by the Konoha ninja in front of him, we knew that he came from the farthest place and finally arrived...

"Bring it here." Hiruzen Sarutobi said as he looked at the Konoha ninja who rushed back from the Kingdom of Water in front of him...

It is easy to place an informant in the Kingdom of Water, where ninjas are stationed separately on the island. But the biggest problem is how to keep domestic spies alive. Ninjas who live alone in the overseas Mist Ninja Village can easily be inexplicably killed by ninjas from other factions in the Mist Ninja Village...

The Third Hokage took the somewhat damp information scroll and opened it after checking that the seal was complete. He looked carefully at the message written on it

"There is a rebellion in the Kingdom of Water, and the opposition is huge... The Peace Faction has suffered heavy losses, and the regime of the Third Mizukage is unstable..."

The information in front of him shocked Sarutobi Hiruzen. There was a rebellion in the Kingdom of Water, which was isolated overseas. He was thinking about the problem at hand, which was the upcoming Chunin Exam. It was impossible for the third generation Mizukage to have time to leave the Country of Water. Hidden Village came to participate...

"Intelligence shows that there are signs of contact between the Wind Country Sand Ninja and the Mist Ninja opposition...but there is no definite evidence yet." The Konoha Ninja continued to report various collected intelligence...

The Third Hokage heard the information reported by the ninja in front of him and began to think about it.

Is the Third Kazekage of the Kingdom of Wind prepared to make a living? Does he want to drag the overseas Kingdom of Water into the vortex of war?

Immediately thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that the Mist ninja would not be so stupid. At this time, the Mist ninja could not have the intention to intervene in the war between the strongest country on the mainland...

Now that Fire Konoha is under his own rule, even if he faces the Sand Ninja and Kiri Ninja fighting on two fronts on land and sea again, the Third Hokage is 100% sure of winning the final victory.

So, what is the purpose of Sand Ninja contacting Mist Ninja's rebels at this time?

Is it to destabilize the coastline of the Land of Fire and thus contain the power of the Konoha ninjas, or is it to prepare to use the power of the Mist ninjas to open up a new battlefield along the coast via the sea?

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought hard, but still felt that these reasons were not sufficient. Although the Sand Ninja of the Wind Country today are tenacious, they have been completely suppressed in the Wind Country itself by Konoha's Orochimaru troops and the wild Queen Ichibi Shukaku. Not to mention attacking Konoha, even the ability to continue to covet Konoha's ally, the Rain Ninja, has been lost.

After the Sand Ninja relied on the power of the tailed beasts to defend against Konoha's attack, they were also restrained from expanding by the one-tailed Shukaku running around...

Looking at the Third Hokage who was deep in thought, Nara Shikamon, the head of the Nara clan who has been the Hokage's adviser for generations, suggested from the side:

"Sir, no matter what conspiracy the Sand Ninja has, we only need to support the Third Mizukage who advocates peace."

As if he had guessed the Third Hokage's dilemma, Nara Shikamon directly bypassed the actions behind the enemy and went straight to the key source of the problem. In the face of upright strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just itching outside the skin...

"Yes, we support the peaceful side..."

He looked at Nara Shikamon in front of him with a sinister look. Just like the American emperor in Hizashi's previous life, major powers only need to choose to support a faction that is beneficial to them. And any other conspiracy will collapse under the powerful national power of Fire Konoha.

"Come here." He shouted towards the door.

Suddenly, the dark part suddenly appeared from the shadows

The answer "Hokage" is a sign of only following the will of all previous Hokages...

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the masked figure in front of him and said: "Send someone to get in touch with the Third Mizukage and tell him that we fully support the orthodoxy of the Water Kingdom Mizukage and can provide military assistance when necessary..."

"Hi" responded, and then disappeared in front of him like a ghost.

Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to the only remaining staff officer in the office except himself.

"Arrange someone to remove the seat next to me in the arena."

"Hi" Except for Naruto, the last person left here...

He was sitting alone in the Hokage's office, which was the tallest room in Fire Konoha and covered an area of ​​several hundred square meters. There was only one chair...

Because, in this ninja world, only the shadows and daimyo of the five major countries are qualified to sit in the same row as him. And for a Kage who can be rebelled against by lower-level ninjas, there is no need to worry about his face and leave him an empty spot in the Chuunin Exam...

Wow, when was the last time I fell asleep, I feel so nostalgic...
