Chapter 148 Contact

Konoha March 45.

The temporary peace on the border did not paralyze the Konoha high-level officials. On the contrary, in the eyes of everyone, this was the calm before the storm.

Early in the morning, Danzo came to the Root base carrying Shiro as usual.

Since Kato Dan and others were busy dealing with various affairs, Danzo couldn't find anyone else to take care of Bai, so he simply took her to the territory of the Shimura clan.

Announced that she would adopt the child.

Bai's surname naturally became Shimura.

Shimura Shiro.

"Lord Danzo."

Seeing Danzo arriving, Shisui, who had been waiting at the door, immediately stepped forward and skillfully took Bai from Danzo's hands.

Ringo Yuyuri on the side couldn't help but feel itchy, so she stretched out her finger and poked Bai's soft little face while Danzo took a step forward.

Arriving at the office, Danzo asked the first question.

"No news about Qing and them yet?"

Ye Cang, Aburame Ryoma, and Uchiha Kei were all sent to the Land of Wind to hunt the One-Tailed Jinchuriki.

Now, Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru and others have returned regardless of whether they succeeded or not, but Ye Cang and his group have no news yet.

This made Danzo vaguely worried.

"not yet."

Shisui held Shiro in his arms and answered Danzo's questions respectfully.

"However, we have obtained more important information about the Kingdom of Wind."

"A large number of Cloud Ninjas have been discovered in the Land of Earth. It seems their destination is the Land of Wind."

really.

Danzo was not at all surprised by the news.

As expected, the Third Raikage failed to suppress his desire for territory and turned to attack the Sand Village.

And the route was exactly what I expected.

Before Hanzo's rise, if a large hidden village like the Hidden Cloud Village wanted to attack the Hidden Sand Village, the best route would be to go straight out of the Land of Hot Springs, through the Land of Water Trap, the Land of Grass, and through the Land of Rain to the Land of Wind.

Because the countries they pass through are all small countries, the Hidden Cloud Village does not have to worry about their ideas at all and can plan the route according to its own wishes.

But now, through Hanzo's performance in the Second Ninja World War, and the fact that the Land of Grass is now actually under the control of Konoha Village.

This path is no longer viable.

Therefore, they could only pass through the Land of Earth.

"What is the exact number?"

Danzo asked the question that concerned him.

"About a few thousand people."

After getting the answer, Danzo frowned and tapped the table with his fingers.

The only sound in the room was the crisp clacking of knuckles against the table.

"Humph."

Just when Shisui and Ringo Yuuri were about to be unable to bear the deadly oppressive aura, Danzo suddenly sneered.

"Looks like it's time to make contact with Ōnoki."

......

"Lord Tsuchikage, the troops from the Hidden Cloud Village have advanced to the vicinity of the Thunderfall Mountains."

Next to the fountain, an Iwa Ninja reported the whereabouts of the Sandaime Raikage and his group to Ōnoki.

"understood."

Floating on the water, Ohnoki, with his hands behind his back, stared at the stones in the water and said without turning his head.

Seeing that his Tsuchikage was not in a good mood, the Iwashi Ninja tactfully said goodbye.

At this time, Ohnoki's heart was full of complaints against the Third Raikage.

This reckless man first confronted Konoha Village, and then announced that he wanted to pass through the village to attack Sand Village.

The original purpose of forming an alliance with the other party was to use it as a gun, but now this gun is completely out of control.

After all his efforts, his vision of attacking Konoha Village and dividing the land of the Land of Fire became increasingly distant from him.

But now the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village are unable to take care of themselves, and Ōnoki can only choose to obey this "stupid" ally.

Therefore, he decisively agreed to the other party's request to borrow his way. Of course, in order to prevent the other party from launching a sneak attack on him, Ohnoki also took a lot of preventive measures.

Fortunately, the other party behaved very honestly and followed the route he had planned.

"Lord Tsuchikage."

Just as Ōnoki began to recall his conversation with the first Tsuchikage, his grandfather Ishigawa, a familiar voice sounded again.

Turning around, Ōnoki saw that the Iwagakure, who had originally left, had returned, and felt a little confused.

However, a slight strange fluctuation coming from the opponent's chakra instantly aroused his vigilance.

"You are not Turubi, who are you!"

Although his figure and appearance are exactly the same as he remembered, chakra is the best evidence of a person's true identity.

"I didn't expect that even the chakra could be imitated so closely, Earth Style: Flying Rock Pillar Technique!"

Flying into the air, Ōnoki instantly created countless sharp rock pillars that flew towards the person coming.

"This is really..."

The visitor only had time to say half of his words before he was crushed by the rock pillar.

This movement instantly attracted the attention of all the Iwagakure ninjas around, and soon the entire hall was filled with Iwagakure ninjas.

"Earth escape technique: Heavy rock technique."

Ōnoki ignored the man's words and placed his hands on him, using the Weighted Rock Technique to prevent him from escaping.

This way you can be sure of success.

"I see, as expected of the Tsuchikage..."

Feeling the heaviness in his body, the visitor did not show any expression of fear, but was instead amazed.

"But, for me—"

The man suddenly opened his mouth, and in front of everyone's surprised gaze, his mouth grew larger and larger, completely beyond the range that a normal person could open.

This action caused Ōnoki to fly back a few steps, and his hands were ready to use Dust Release immediately if the situation went wrong.

Then, a figure flew out from the mouth of the person. Everyone had no time to react and could only watch the other person break through the glass and escape.

"Quick, chase after him!"

Seeing that there was only an empty skin bag left in the rock pillar, the other Rock Ninjas finally reacted and shouted to chase after him.

In response, Ohnoki did not react. Instead, he walked to the skin with a stern face and reached out to pick up the envelope that had fallen on the ground.

At this time, all the Iwa Ninjas were focused on hunting down the invaders and did not pay any attention to the situation on Ōnoki's side.

Opening the envelope and taking out the letter inside, Ohnoki's eyes became increasingly gloomy as he read.

"No need to chase."

Putting the letter in his arms, Ōnoki raised his hand to stop the actions of his Iwashi ninjas.

"what?"

The Iwagakure ninjas, who had already been assigned tasks, were all puzzled and looked in the direction of Ōnoki.

But Ōnoki did not give them an answer and just floated away from the scene.

As he left, the previous rock pillars collapsed instantly.

"Clean this place up. This is a holy place and it cannot tolerate filth."

Seeing Ohnoki's figure drifting farther and farther away, Ohnoki, who was about to reach the end of the road, suddenly said this.

"this......"

Everyone looked at each other for a moment. After all, it was an order given by their own Tsuchikage, so they finally chose to obey.
