Konoha's Destiny Twins

For Konoha today, there are two major external hidden dangers. One is the Sandgakure Iwagakure coalition on the other side of Mount Kikyo, which is eyeing the enemy. As for these enemies on the surface, the Sandaime Hokage is worried but not overly worried.

Because of Konoha, there are still many outstanding ninjas fighting on the front line of Mount Kikyo: Orochimaru, Minato, Uchiha Fugaku, and a series of emerging young ninjas who grew up in this war.

Another major hidden danger is Uchiha Madara, who can make the Third Hokage sleep uneasy.

Uchiha Madara, this name seems to be like magic, making people tremble.

The overwhelming strength that the opponent showed more than a year ago was really frightening.

Although according to Qingshui, Madara has aged again, which means that the other party cannot still have the terrifying strength of the past.

But...he is Uchiha Madara, the man as famous as the first Hokage.

He is now lurking in the Land of Rain, and he even has a close connection with Akatsuki, and he even has another companion who has activated the Mangekyō Sharingan!

This is really...

So if Hanzo falls, the Kingdom of Rain will fall into complete chaos, and Akatsuki will take the opportunity to control the entire Rain Hidden Village.

At that time, is it possible for Konoha to use peaceful diplomacy to send ninjas into the Kingdom of Rain to search for Madara's traces?

The answer is obvious.

The enemies Konoha will need to face then may not only be Madara and Akatsuki, but the entire Amegakure Village!

Therefore, it is impossible for Konoha to refuse Hanzo's request for help!

After a while, the Sandaime Hokage, who had closed his eyes in deep contemplation, suddenly opened his eyes: "Duanzo, you came to me alone, I guess you already have the answer in your mind, right?"

"Yes." Danzo didn't shy away from it and admitted it generously.

The Sandaime Hokage stared at Danzo with sharp eyes: "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"This mission to the Kingdom of Rain will be led by me personally."

The disastrous defeat of the Rain Country more than 4 years ago is still vivid in my mind even today. It was a heavy price for nearly 200 Anbu and Gen elite ninjas to be almost wiped out.

No matter how great the reason, Danzo, the commander of that operation, had an unshirkable responsibility.

In the shadow of that tragic defeat, Danzo once again made a request to take the lead in the trip to the Land of Rain, which was bound to be rejected by Mito Kaden and Koharu.

Therefore, in order to gain absolute command of this mission, Danzo found the Sandaime Hokage in advance, hoping to convince him.

The Sandaime Hokage didn't speak, he was waiting for Danzo's words.

"It is true that I have an unshirkable responsibility for the defeat four years ago." Danzo was the first to admit his mistake at the beginning.

"But four years have passed since the war started, and now it can be said that it is the most critical moment.

You know this and I know..."

Sunagakure Iwagakure has recently ceased its activities and has stopped making any moves. It is obvious that they are preparing for a new large-scale battle.

The final outcome of the Battle of Mount Kikyo is directly related to whether Konoha can continue to occupy this most fertile land.

Now both sides are working hard and are red-eyed. Therefore, this war is regarded by everyone as the last battle.

"There is no extra force to deploy on the front line, and a certain number of ninjas need to be stationed in the village to prevent Kumogakure and Kirigakure from changing. In addition, your body is not as good as before..."

It can be said that Konoha really has no one to send. While ordinary combat power is in short supply, there are not many ninjas who can be the leader of this mission.

Everyone is fighting on the front line. Apart from Danzo and the Sandaime Hokage, there is really no second choice...

The Sandaime Hokage has suffered hidden injuries since his battle with Madara.

"When Konoha was attacked last time, even I almost died." Danzo gently touched the fatal scar on his neck with his remaining left hand, and then glanced at the empty sleeves, "Haha, all of this is It’s caused by spots.”

"We old antiques are dying one by one, and now even Qiao Feng has followed the mirror."

"I will... find Madara myself and kill him!"

There was a brief silence.

"Madara, you won't show up so easily and be found by us." The Sandaime Hokage was still not impressed.

"Then first help Hanzo quell the civil strife in Amegakure Village." Danzo's voice gradually turned cold, "Besides, we don't need to treat Hanzo as an equal as before. What we need to do this time is treat Hanzo as an equal. Completely become our puppet, and then turn the Kingdom of Rain into a tributary of the Kingdom of Fire!"

Bring the Rain Country into the Fire Country's sphere of influence?

I have to say, this proposal is very exciting.

The important geographical location of the Rain Country can be used as a frontline springboard for any of the Earth Country, Wind Country, and Fire Country to invade other countries.

So if Konoha really succeeds, the enemies of Mount Kikyo will also face an extremely embarrassing situation - Konoha may send a small number of elite troops directly to the ninja villages of other countries at any time.

You know Konoha's history in this regard... already twice!

Seeing that the Sandaime Hokage's intention was somewhat relaxed, Danzo immediately struck while the iron was hot: "I will lead the roots of the two brigades and the ANBU ninjas of the two brigades. In addition, I will ask Orochimaru to withdraw from the front line for a while and carry out this mission with me."

"As long as I can complete this task, I can not only solve the hidden danger of Madara, but also bring about a certain reversal of the war situation in Platycodon Mountain."

"Let me think about it." The Sandaime Hokage finally did not agree to Danzo immediately, "I will answer you before our meeting tonight."

"……good."

Although the Sandaime Hokage did not directly agree to Danzo's request, he did not refuse it either.

The suspense was left until the evening.

…

Roots Building.

Danzo sat above him and asked in a deep voice: "Does Orochimaru still refuse to tell me the fusion method of Wood Release?"

"Yes, my subordinates have already followed your orders...but Orochimaru-senpai's attitude is very tough." A clear female voice from the darkness replied.

"This guy Orochimaru..." Danzo's eyes had turned cold, "Does he really think that without my support, as long as he has wood escape and merit, he can become the fourth generation Hokage?"

"What on earth is he thinking?!"

"But it doesn't matter. These questions can be clarified in person..."

"Sir, will the Sandaime Hokage definitely agree to your request?"

"He had to agree." Danzo was confident about this, "In addition, tell Orochimaru that I will collect good materials again and ask him to make another Sharingan arm for me, on condition that he can use it."

"yes!"

Danzo thought for a while and then suddenly said: "Miko, I heard that your orphanage has taken in a lot of war orphans?"

Upon hearing this, the miko's body trembled slightly: "Yes, sir."

"Are there any good seeds? Are they all clean?" Danzo then smiled sinisterly, "Some minor problems are fine, they can all be solved."

"My lord has said before that he will not interfere with the operation of the orphanage..."

"That was before." Danzo's tone gradually became colder. "In the past few years, we have lost a lot of roots, but we haven't added much new strength."

"The progress of the wood escape experiment is also very slow, and the most critical technology Orochimaru actually hides it secretly..."

"If we continue like this, once the roots disappear, how will the big trees clinging to them survive?"

"Subordinate...understood."
