Chapter 73 Danzo: No one knows intelligence better than me!
Shizune opened the door carefully, only to see Tsunade sitting by the window, looking out at the cheering crowd below. Her face was calm, but there was a hint of anger in her eyes.

"Lady Tsunade, are you...really okay?"

"Ah."

Tsunade waved.

Shizune walked over and Tsunade stroked her hair before chuckling softly.

"I'm really fine, don't worry."

She looked down.

Immediately, Tsunade said to herself, "Now is not the time to rest."

"what did you say?"

"Nothing. I recovered after saving him this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in the future."

Tsunade smiled.

Shizune muttered, "You still owe Jiraiya-sama a large sum of money. You should have worked hard to pay it back."

"Shizune."

"Oh, there are still some debts outside that have not been cleared!"

"Shizune!"

Tsunade's tone intensified, and then she suppressed her emotions and said with a dark face, "Today is a happy day, can we not talk about these unpleasant things?"

"Seeing you like this, I know you are really alright. Okay, I will go back and continue practicing."

Shizune was really worried before.

She knew Tsunade's condition and vaguely felt that the visitor had ill intentions, but she did not expect that Tsunade would temporarily get better, which made her surprised, happy and fortunate.

Fortunately it’s temporarily fixed!

Tsunade sighed as she left.

I had to act out the whole thing, so I had to keep it a secret from Shizune.

It turned out that her idea was correct. With Jingyin's performance, her previously weak persuasiveness increased greatly, making this move extremely meaningful.

but.

She felt guilty for deceiving everyone, and at the same time—

Tsunade became even angrier.

Could the accident that happened to Mumokō Koto and the others be related to Danzo?

Can you attack the villagers just for the position of Hokage?
She clenched her fists.

Originally, Tsunade didn't quite agree with Jingyan's plan, but now she feels that there is nothing wrong with Jingyan's plan.

When the enemy extends a knife towards you, you should not just block it, you should also strike back with your own knife to let the enemy know how powerful you are!

Tsunade's eyes were cold.

After a while, a toad jumped in through the window.

Immediately, the toad opened its mouth.

Jiraiya climbed out from inside.

"How about it?"

"What Jingyan said was right. Not only did the bastard want to harm me, he might also want to harm Mumu Gongdao's teammates. Bastard! He wants to harm Jingyan, and he wants to harm me too!"

Tsunade's eyes were cold.

Regardless of whether it was Danzo who did it or not, she was determined to take the blame!

"According to plan?"

"it is good."

……

In the following days, Tsunade's matter continued to ferment.

So, everyone knew——

It turns out that there is such a story behind Tsunade's departure from the village.

All my relatives have died, right in front of me, but I am powerless to do anything and cannot save them.

Who can withstand such a blow?
Before, many people felt a little resentful after Tsunade left, thinking that Tsunade should not have left the village without caring about anything and was too irresponsible.

There were also many people who secretly talked about and blamed Tsunade some time ago.

But after knowing the truth, they all regretted it very much and wanted to come to Konoha Hospital to visit and apologize, but they were rejected by Tsunade's people.

She doesn't need this kind of visit.

As for the latter.

The mastermind behind all this is Danzo, and perhaps the Third Hokage as well. Tsunade doesn't need to be angry with them.

Her goal is simple.

Becoming Hokage made Konoha stronger and stopped it from being caught in war.

As these situations emerged, some complaints about border chaos and untimely intelligence spread among the ninjas. The Konoha team had been attacked by the Rock Ninja several times before, and the Mumu Gongdao team was ambushed this time...

All these situations lead to one issue.

Why was Konoha's intelligence lacking so severely that ninjas from other villages were lurking right under the border's nose?

"Now is a peaceful time. If a war breaks out suddenly, what will happen to our intelligence capabilities?"

"Well, who knows?"

"What about the Anbu? The intelligence department is usually controlled by the Anbu, right?"

"Shh! Are you going to die?"

There was a lot of talk in the village, and many people were afraid and wary, but the more this happened, the more they talked about it in private.

In just a few days, many people in the village have begun to doubt the capabilities of the Anbu, and discussions about the capabilities of the Anbu have been ongoing.

……

At the Anbu base, Danzo had a gloomy expression on his face.

"what?"

"Master Danzo, something is not right. It feels like someone is pushing us from behind."

Aburame Ryoma got down on one knee.

Danzo suppressed his anger.

"What are you doing? You can't even control these things in the village? Is this how intelligence work is done?"

"This……"

Aburame Ryoma found it difficult to defend himself, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

He never expected that someone would spread and fight back against the news, and it came very quickly. When they wanted to target them, public opinion had already become rampant.

By this time it was too late to put out the fire.

Danzo stood up, tapped the floor with his cane, then left the Anbu with heavy steps and walked towards the Hokage building.

To the Hokage Building.

Boom boom boom!
"Enter."

From inside the house, the voice of Sarutobi Hiruzen was heard.

Squeak.

The door opened and Danzo walked in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu were all there.

The three looked at Danzo.

"They are all here, Hiruzen. Your students this time..."

Danzo was about to speak.

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu sighed in unison.

"Danzo, you've gone too far this time!"

"You shouldn't attack people from your own village. If Tsunade fails to overcome her psychological problems, wouldn't that mean she'll be useless as a Jonin?"

Utane Koharu also had an unwavering expression on her face.

That surgery...

She later found out that even she had no confidence in completing the operation. Even if she could do it, it would be impossible for her to be as perfect as Tsunade, who could not allow Shinryuu to recover without affecting the battle.

Mitomon Yan said: "It's not easy for a village to train a jonin. These are all the hard work of our village. And the previous Namikaze Minato, you shouldn't snatch that girl away no matter what!"

"Were you involved in the matter of Team Hiashi?"

Tennekoharu asked again.

Danzo's face turned gloomy.

He came to discuss something, but he didn't expect to be scolded, and...

What the hell.

He glanced around and said, "Some of them were not done by me!"

Finally, Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Huruzen, do you believe me?"

"Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke, he exhaled smoke and his tone was melancholy.

"Whether it's you or not, the problem of intelligence deficiency does exist, and the intelligence department has not done a very good job in recent years."

He looked at Mitokado En and Utane Koharu.

"Let's change someone else, what do you think?"

"Agree."

The two did not hesitate.

Danzo tapped the floor with his cane, his tone icy, "You mean to make me admit defeat this time?"

"The public opinion in the village is not good for you. Removing the old intelligence team leader is also to protect him, and to give him some training so that he can take over again in the future."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Danzo gritted his teeth, but took a deep breath and said, "Hiruzen, no one knows more about intelligence and espionage than my people. If you let others do it, you will definitely regret it!"

"Danzo, we all know your contribution. It's not that we don't want you to do it this time, but the current public opinion is too troublesome, so let your people go down first."

Utane Koharu said softly.

"Also, since you are taking action regarding Tsunade's matter, you must be prepared to be retaliated against."

Mitomon En was slightly dissatisfied.

Danzo was silent, then let go of his cane and sat down on a seat nearby.

Even Utane Koharu and Mitomon En didn't help him...

There's nothing we can do about it.

He sat down and said no more.

After a long time, Danzo turned and left with a very ugly look on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sent away Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, then picked up an intelligence scroll that was pressed underneath, opened it and read it, and couldn't help but sigh.

The scroll reads:

Danzo secretly formed the Root Team, and after terminating the research on "Hashirama Cells", he has been secretly supporting and guiding related research.

The evidence is that in the current Root Team, there is a child named "A" who is now four years old.

He has mastered the ability of Wood Release.

The attack on Minato Namikaze was carried out by the Root Team.

The evidence is that they all have the seal of eradicating tongue evil on their tongues, which confirms the characteristics submitted by Jiraiya.

Signed: Orochimaru.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

"Danzo, you disappoint me so much!"

……

The land adjacent to the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers.

"This is an antidote pill, researched by Lady Tsunade. It can remove a lot of toxins, and even if it can't remove them, it can at least alleviate some of them."

Minato Namikaze distributed the antidote pills one by one.

"The enemy this time is very strong and terrifying. Everyone, be careful, especially you, Kai. You are very strong in physical skills, but you are mostly in close combat. You have performed few high-difficulty missions and are most likely to be poisoned."

"Yes!"

Might Guy stood up and responded.

Then, Minato looked at Kyohiko and Kakashi, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"Kakashi has experienced more missions, so I feel more at ease with him."

"Kyohiko..."

The person Minato was most worried about was actually Kyohiko.

Very strong.

But there are many powerful people in the ninja world, and even geniuses need to grow up before they can dominate the world. After all, age is not a factor in the battlefield. "Senior, I understand."

Jingyan nodded.

Among the four, he is definitely the one who values ​​his life the most.

Before the system was launched, the main techniques were life-saving ninjutsu such as the instant body technique and the substitute technique. Now, they are also the strongest ones for saving lives. When Naruto rushed forward with blood boiling, he would…

He would never do it.

After some explanation, the four of them crossed the border and headed towards the country of River ahead.

The land of rivers is vast.

A river runs through the north and south, from the Rain Country to the sea in the south, hence the name of the River Country.

There are mountains and forests on both sides of the river.

The four of them walked quietly, following their previous route, and arrived at the site of the battle.

"here?"

"The traces have been cleaned up, and they were cleaned up recently."

Traces of battle can be seen in the forest. Many trees are broken and fallen, which shows how fierce the previous battle was.

but.

The signs of cleaning are very fresh.

Everyone looked at each other with some surprise on their faces.

"What happened to being cleaned up?"

Kai had the least experience and the most superficial thinking in this area, so he didn't understand what they were surprised about.

"This shows that there is another group of people tracking them."

Jingyan replied, "Minato-senpai, you said before that the three seniors, Ino, Shika and Chou, would also be there. Could this be their trace?"

"Probably not. There is no secret code left. It is more like the style of Sand Village."

Namikaze water gate.

"So, should we track it?"

Kakashi looked at Minato.

The Sand Village intervenes!

This is normal. After all, this matter concerns the rebel ninja of the Sand Village, Scorpion, so their actions are very normal and reasonable.

Namikaze Minato thought for a moment and said, "For the past month, our team has been searching for the whereabouts of the two missing ninjas. Even if the Sand Village gets involved, at least we have to find the bodies of the ninjas in the village."

"Then we look for someone from the Sand Village? If that's the case, I might be able to find a way."

Kakashi said.

Namikaze Minato thought about it and nodded: "Let's try it first, who knows if they will find it first?"

"Row."

Kakashi bit his finger, then formed seals with his hands and smeared the blood on the ground.

The procedure is unfolding.

Bang!
A mighty giant white ninja dog appeared before everyone.

It glanced around and finally fixed its eyes on Kakashi.

"Sakumo's son?"

It was silent for a moment, then said, "It's been so long, have you decided to sign the contract?"

"Yes."

Kakashi bowed slightly, "I'm sorry that Andre-senpai has been worried during this period."

"It's nothing. I'm glad you can come out."

The giant white dog looked around.

Finally, it focused on the traces around it.

"Need my help?"

"Yes, please help me track the scent of those who cleaned up the traces here before. The traces look very fresh, so they should not have disappeared for long."

"it is good."

It sniffed, then quickly ran to a direction, "This way."

Everyone followed immediately.

The white figure was running wildly, looking heroic. There were scars on its body, making it look quite ferocious.

Jingyan could imagine the scene of it accompanying White Fang in battle.

The existing contract Kakashi mentioned earlier turned out to be the renewal of Hatake Sakumo's "Andre".

inherit!

Since he is willing to take this step, it means that he has completely resolved the knot left by his father's suicide and has come out of depression and dilemma.

in particular.

After spending some time together, we have become friends.

Seeing him walk in another direction, Jing Yan was sincerely happy. He paused for a moment, then quickly caught up with the pace in front of him, and then he noticed...

Kai was quietly wiping away tears.

"why are you crying?"

Kakashi turned around and glanced at Might Guy.

Kai said: "Nothing, I'm just, happy for you!"

"Thank you, let's go."

Kakashi is not good with words.

but.

He knew very well that during that period of time, Kai had been looking for a showdown with him, and had been pestering and accompanying him in another form.

Namikaze Minato remained silent.

Follow along.

Suddenly, Andre stopped.

Immediately—

Whoosh!
Kunai flew out from the darkness, and then two figures rushed out.

Jingyan quickly came to the front and formed seals with his hands.

Just two seals...

A rotating vortex emerged, sweeping away all the kunai that were shot at it, including the thousand swords that were also swept away by the water current.

So fast!

Namikaze Minato turned his head, unable to hide his surprise.

A water array wall that only used two seals?
Is this the technique used by the Second Hokage?
"Minato-senpai."

"clear."

In the blink of an eye, the water curtain fell.

Minato Namikaze's figure was as fast as lightning, as if he turned into a yellow light, and instantly appeared next to a person.

Immediately—

Rasengan!
boom!
The figure collapsed and turned into wreckage.

This is a puppet.

Minato Namikaze looked around. At this moment, Andre roared and jumped up suddenly.

A field of spikes emerged from the ground.

There was a deep blue glow on the spikes, and it was obvious that they were coated with a very terrible poison.

The other party wants to kill Andre!

and also……

"Kakashi, be careful!"

Jingyan gathered his chakra and suddenly punched the ground.

The ground cracked.

The poison needles were knocked crooked and flew all over the forest, but fortunately the three of them were masters of physical skills and had extremely fast reactions, quickly avoiding the attacks of the poison needles.

"there!"

Andre roared, leaped quickly to another tree, and crouched on it in a retracted, cautious posture.

Jingyan and the other two quickly jumped to another place.

but.

At the moment of jumping, Jingyan split into three, each of them transformed into a different appearance.

shhhhhh!
The poison needle shot out.

In the woods, puppets were running, and no other sounds could be heard.

Hearing is not everything.

"This way!"

The giant white dog Andre said this and was about to move forward, but Kakashi's pupils shrank instantly.

Just as he was about to remind her, a figure flashed by below.

The blades intertwined.

The puppet collapsed to the ground.

"Beware of the ambush!"

At this moment, a wave of fluctuations sounded not far away.

Immediately afterwards, two people jumped up from the chaos and Jingyan looked over.

One was Minato Namikaze, who went around and attacked the operator directly.

The other one was not Scorpion of the Red Sand, but an old lady.

He looks quite old, but in good spirits.

Chiyo?

Jingyan immediately understood why the other party was targeting Kakashi and Andre.

From Chiyo's perspective, she really hated anything related to Hatake Sakumo.

"Damn White Fang!"

Chiyo gritted her teeth, threw out several objects, and then formed seals with her hands...

"It's Wind Style!"

Kakashi yelled.

"Poison, disperse, gather!"

Since Minato Namikaze was not around, Kyōhiko could only give orders with brief words.

Fortunately, everyone was in sync and ran and retreated in the same direction.

The next moment, a strong wind swept in.

Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!
The wind and the poison combined to sweep away a large area of ​​forest and wither it, it was truly horrific.

Chiyo really hated it.

but.

The next second, Minato Namikaze also arrived beside Chiyo and stabbed her with the kunai in his hand.

suddenly--

hum!
Namikaze Minato couldn't hold the kunai in his hand, and it flew out and flew to another place, and Chiyo couldn't stop herself either.

The next moment, a sound came from there.

"stop!"

A cold voice sounded.

Namikaze Minato instantly appeared in front of the three people, with a vigilant look on his face, and whispered: "Magnetic escape, even the Kazekage is here! If the situation gets bad later, retreat immediately!"

"Yes!"

The three of them did not dare to neglect.

opponent……

It is very likely the Third Kazekage!

Jingyan knew that although the Third Kazekage died in a very miserable way and his body could not even be buried, there was no doubt about this guy's strength and he should be at the level of a "shadow".

Among the four of them now, perhaps only Minato Namikaze can deal with the opponent, and the other three are simply no match for him.

A young man walked out of the forest.

The other party glanced at Chiyo, then sighed and said calmly: "Konoha's ninja, are you here for the Red Sand Scorpion as well?"
