Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide!

"I also asked Tsunade, but she didn't understand what happened either."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on his pipe and slowly exhaled.

Since Tsunade was already suspicious of the "Wood Release Experiment Project" being carried out behind the scenes in the village, she did not inform Hiruzen Sarutobi of the information that the Wood Release and Mangekyo Sharingan were suspected to appear in one person.

So at this time, Konoha still doesn't know that the two powers are controlled by the same person, otherwise it would probably cause a bigger wave.

"Just like the Kaleidoscope must come from the Uchiha clan, the wooden escape must also originate from the Senju clan, so the sudden appearance of the wooden escape must have something to do with the Senju. Could it be the work of those old immortal guys?"

Shimura Danzo was obviously dissatisfied with not finding anything from the Senju clan members, and immediately set his sights on the Senju elders.

It has been more than thirty years since the village was founded in Konoha. Although the Senju clan has suffered heavy casualties and the influence of converting the clan into a village, the number of members is sparse, but there are still some elders who survived from the Warring States period.

Not everyone supports Thousand Hands Tobirama's decision, especially for these elders, rebuilding Thousand Hands' glory has become something they care deeply about.

But now that the situation is over and Wood escape has been lost, the only way they can restore the glory of Thousand Hands is to carve Wood escape first, so from this point of view, they are very suspicious.

"It shouldn't be them. If it's them, I won't hide it if it succeeds... Moreover, those old guys came to my place just now to inquire about information. They thought it was an experiment of the village..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused in conversation and looked directly at his old comrade with deep eyes.

"...Danzo, this isn't your fault, is it?"

Danzo Shimura was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at his old buddy. He didn't know why he wanted to blame him again.

"When I was sorting out the materials left behind by the teacher, some of them recorded relevant experimental data on Wood Dungeon. If I remember correctly, this part of the information seems to have been handed over to you for preservation, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, turned his back to the sunset and looked at the "Dark Ninja" who was famous in the ninja world, with some doubts in his words.

"You won't secretly reopen the 'Wooden Escape Experiment Project' behind my back, right?"

"..."

Shimura Danzo faced Hiruzen Sarutobi's suspicious gaze and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

How pitiful, he has really never done this before!

Although he once had this idea, he did not pursue this plan due to the lack of outstanding scientific research talents.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen questioned him based on this, which really made Danzo Shimura feel inexplicably aggrieved.

No, why do you throw all the blame at me?

Although what he did before was a little excessive, wasn't it all for the overall interests of Konoha?

Not to mention that he didn't conduct research and development on wood escape, even if he did, he wouldn't be questioned in such a questioning tone, right?

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think so. In his opinion, this matter must be related to people within Konoha.

It's very simple, because Hashirama cells are not available to ordinary people, so I simply use the elimination method to eliminate it. If this is not Senju, Uchiha, or Shimura Danzo, could it be that he is Sarutobi Hiruzen?

There's no way this time could be the fault of that inherently evil kid from the Ghost Lantern clan, right?

"Duanzo, you should know the current situation of the village, so for the sake of the overall situation, I hope you can hand over the wood escape ninja."

"...It wasn't me."

Under Sarutobi Hiruzen's successive interrogations, Shimura Danzo was obviously angry and refused in a stiff tone.

"Then let me search your roots!"

Under the crisis in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen also became very tough and did not give Danzo a chance to refute.

"You two, go now!"

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi giving orders to his ANBU in front of him, Danzo Shimura's face instantly darkened.

Although he did not conduct wood escape experiments, is the Lao Lao something that others can look at casually?

Danzo Shimura did a lot of things behind Hiruzen Sarutobi's back! If we send someone to check, won't everything be exposed?

"Hiruzen, you've crossed a line!"

"Duanzo, at this critical moment, you should know what I will do."

Seeing the demeanor of his old comrade who had no choice but to do so, the hidden ambition in Danzo Shimura's heart burst out again.

"Hokage, Naruto!"

But in the end, he was not overwhelmed by anger. He forced himself to suppress his anger, said a word and then slammed the door and walked out.

"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Looking at his old teammates breaking out of the door, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned and looked out the window. The sculptures of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama on the tall fire shadow rocks showed a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"Teacher, why did all this develop like this..."

——

The subsequent search was not satisfactory, and the Anbu did not find any clues about Mudun in the root base.

Although many other problems were discovered by hunting rabbits, Sarutobi Hiruzen wisely chose to turn a blind eye at this critical moment when Konoha was in turmoil and Shimura Danzo was needed as the commander of Kumogakure's defense line.

However, it was obvious that his "goodwill" was not accepted by Danzo Shimura. After this "humiliation", he decisively severed his ties with Hiruzen Sarutobi and extended an invitation to Orochimaru.

In the past, he had long been paying attention to Orochimaru, knowing his desire for immortality, and therefore helped him.

But for Hiruzen Sarutobi, he didn't go too far and only exerted influence in secret. However, once Sarutobi Hiruzen's search incident came out, he was completely unscrupulous and directly increased his contact with Orochimaru.

Naturally, Orochimaru accepted this without hesitation, and the relationship between the two reached its peak in an instant.

With the availability of outstanding scientific research talents, the Mudun experimental plan was officially restarted by Shimura Danzo.

Don't you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, doubt me?

good!

I'll do it for you!

"So many experimenters have failed. Is there something wrong with the receptor? Should we use people with Thousand Hands bloodline as recipients?"

Orochimaru was keenly aware of this problem after briefly browsing the information left by Senju Tobirama.

"The teacher had actually tested it on the Thousand Hands tribe back then, but it was of no use. Due to confidentiality reasons, those materials had been destroyed long ago."

"Whether it is useful or not cannot be judged solely from the results. Further research is needed to get the results. Can the experimental subjects provide some people with Thousand Hands bloodline?"

Orochimaru obviously has the real qualities of a scientific researcher, and he did not abandon this path because of the failure of Senju Tobirama.

In addition, he has a cold nature and is not soft-hearted because the Senju are Tsunade's own clan. He does not hesitate to use the Senju clan as guinea pigs.

"No, the number of those people is too small. If even one of them is moved, there will be big problems! Moreover, the Mudun has just appeared, which is the most tense time. Those people must not be used for experiments."

Shimura Danzo shook his head and objected to this proposal.

But immediately he thought of a person, a person who had the same ancestry as the Senju clan - Uzumaki Yamakai.

As a member of the Uzumaki clan who came to Konoha with Michiko Uzumaki, Uzumaki Sankai not only has outstanding talent, but the Uzumaki clan is also a close relative of the Senju clan.

Coincidentally, Uzumaki Sankai was currently undergoing training at the root level. Under such circumstances, experimenting with him might produce some special results.

"Uzumaki clan members? That is indeed a direction."

Orochimaru nodded, appreciating this.

But all this is a plan, and if you want to implement it, you have to wait until the end of the Ninja World War.

And they had to leave Konoha at this time, and the reason was very simple - Konoha's front line could no longer bear it!

Under the violent offensive of Kumogakure and Sunagakure, Konoha's front line, which lacked a commander due to returning to the village to thoroughly investigate the Mudun and Mangekyou incidents, completely collapsed. At this time, the troops of Kumogakure and Sunagakure were on the verge of fire. country’s native land.

Under such circumstances, Konoha certainly could not sit still and wait for death. In addition, the progress of the exploration of Mudun and Mangekyou was at a loss. Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and resolve the frontline war first before talking about anything else.

So in this case, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru rushed to the front line of Kumogakure Village, Akimichi Takafu, Hatake Shigesaku and Tsunade went to the front line of Sunagakure Village, and the brutal battle began again.

Regarding Jiraiya, he intentionally severed contact with Konoha at this time.

Because judging from the current situation, one more person and one less person will not have a great impact, but the Rinnegan Eye is related to the "child of destiny" and the key to ending the war in the ninja world.

So he immediately made a decision to temporarily stay in the Country of Rain and personally teach the three children.

At this time, Ghost Light Crescent finally returned to Kirigakure with the Earth Spider Clan.

Ghost Lantern Xinyue, who returned to Kirigakure Village, faced this situation, how could she not want to disrupt the situation some more?

So under his instruction, combined with some rumors circulating in the ninja world, Tsunade replaced her grandmother's position and officially topped the sky list.

The second position on the list was also marked as an unnamed owner of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Ghost Light Crescent Moon even thoughtfully put a parentheses at the end, suspected of being a Konoha Uchiha ninja.

In addition to using the list to disgust Konoha, Ghost Light Crescent also revealed a plan to the ninja world, which was called the Wood Release Experimental Plan.

Ghost Lantern Crescent cleverly used the popular conspiracy theory to explain the Thousand Hands clan's move to turn the clan into a village because they could not bear the village using the Thousand Hands clan members for experiments, so they had no choice but to disband the clan name and break it into parts.

After all, the move of the largest ninja clan in Konoha to dissolve their clan name is really puzzling. The reason for strengthening the bond between the villages is too fair and does not conform to people's usual conspiracy thoughts. This explanation makes them easier to believe.

Based on this, Gui Deng Xinyue even shouted a slogan:

Qianju's sacrifice was half on the battlefield and half on the operating table!
