Chapter 221: Shimura Danzo's Suppression
Chapter 221: Shimura Danzo's Suppression (th update)
There was a knock on the door.
Hanekawa looked at Tsunade.
She lay on the sofa in an ungraceful manner, with her legs crossed and her left foot dangling, causing even the anklet to make a slight sound.
"teacher."
Hanekawa warned, "If someone else sees you like this, then your..."
"Long-winded!"
Tsunade interrupted him in dissatisfaction.
But the body was honest, sat up and put down its legs.
Hanekawa couldn't help but smile and came to the door.
"Hanekawa."
Standing outside the door was Nara Suzaku, holding a stack of information. He said, "This is the situation of the three thousand ninjas."
"Come in and talk."
Hanekawa reached out and took his information.
"Thank you."
Nara Suzaku followed him into the living room.
Hanekawa walked forward and placed the information on the coffee table.
"Tsunade-sama."
Nara Suzaku bowed slightly and said, "Please see if there are any personnel who need to be changed."
"Hanekawa, help me with some of it."
Tsunade picked up a document and said.
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, Hanekawa opened a document.
The content is introduced in the form of a ninja team.
From the Uchiha clan to the Inuzuka clan, there are ninjas from all major and minor clans.
Of course, there are even more ordinary ninjas.
Hanekawa suddenly let out a light exclamation.
Because he saw an unexpected name, Uchiha Itachi.
The little brat is only two months away from turning four.
Hanekawa twitched the corner of his mouth.
Uchiha Fugaku is such a good father.
Let his son go to the battlefield at such a young age.
This is also the case in the original work.
At the age of four, Itachi Uchiha participated in the Third Ninja World War, which had a profound impact on him.
Hanekawa thought that this incident would not happen again because of his butterfly effect, but he ended up underestimating Uchiha Fugaku.
But times are different now, he has the power to refuse.
"teacher."
Hanekawa placed the information in front of Tsunade and said, "Uchiha Itachi is too young, let's eliminate him."
"Uchiha Itachi? Who let him in?"
Tsunade asked with a frown.
"It's the Uchiha clan's request."
Nara Suzaku hurriedly explained.
He was afraid that if he spoke up too late, he would be blamed.
After all, it was he who made the arrangements, so if anything went wrong, he should be held responsible.
"Children under four years old can only cause trouble on the battlefield."
Tsunade shook her head and said in a deep voice, "The Uchiha clan is making trouble, but I can't accompany them in making trouble. Let them change one."
"Yes!"
Nara Suzaku said immediately.
He was afraid of offending the Uchiha clan, so he didn't dare say more.
But Tsunade is different, she is not afraid of offending.
To be more precise, the Uchiha clan did not dare to offend her.
Whether it's because of her medical ninjutsu or because of her current status.
Hanekawa took back the information and continued to check it.
Except for Uchiha Itachi, the rest of the ninjas are normal.
"So be it."
Tsunade closed the document and said.
"Yes."
Nara Suzaku picked up the information and said, "I will go and inform them to be ready now."
"Ah."
Tsunade nodded.
Nara Suzaku turned and left.
Once outside, he thought for a moment before heading to the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Fugaku is on the battlefield in the Frost Country, so the one who greets him is Uchiha Mikoto.
"Mikoto-sama."
Nara Suzaku said straight to the point, "I hope you can replace Uchiha Itachi."
"why?"
Uchiha Mikoto asked in surprise.
"That's what Lady Tsunade meant."
Nara Suzaku said carefully, "She thinks Uchiha Itachi is too young."
"Is that so?"
Uchiha Mikoto was slightly startled.
It was Uchiha Fugaku who arranged for Uchiha Itachi to go to the Frost Country.
But she didn't expect Tsunade to refuse.
Do you want to go find her?
Uchiha Mikoto changed her mind and thought that this was a good thing.
She actually felt that it was unnecessary for Uchiha Itachi to go to the battlefield at such a young age.
Uchiha Fugaku is not only her husband, but also the clan leader, so it is difficult for her to refuse.
But Tsunade can do it.
Uchiha Mikoto knew that Uchiha Fugaku had always wanted to improve the situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village.
Therefore, he would not offend Tsunade.
"I understand. I will replace you with a Genin now."
Uchiha Mikoto replied.
Nara Suzaku breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Although Ino-Shika-Chou is very powerful, Tsunade and the Uchiha clan are not to be trifled with.
……
The headquarters of Konoha Village in the Frost Country.
Shimura Danzo walked into the main tent with a heavy face.
"what's up?"
Orochimaru glanced at him and asked indifferently.
"I just received news from Konoha Village that Tsunade will lead three thousand ninjas to support us tomorrow."
Shimura Danzo said in a serious tone.
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Orochimaru asked back with a faint smile.
"What's the good thing?"
Shimura Danzo said with an unhappy look on his face, "You are here to steal the credit!"
Although Tsunade is currently at the peak of her career, Orochimaru may not be without a chance.
As long as he defeats the Hidden Cloud Village and captures the Fourth Raikage or Jinchuriki alive, he can catch up.
Now that Tsunade has come running over, it’s hard to say who deserves the credit.
"I am the commander."
Orochimaru said nonchalantly.
"This is true."
Shimura Danzo suddenly had an idea and said, "You can assign logistical tasks to Tsunade so that she can't go to the battlefield!"
“This is not a long-term solution after all.”
Orochimaru shook his head and said, "And with her personality, she won't let you do as you wish."
"Since you are the commander, why don't we just set her up to be ambushed by the Hidden Cloud Village!"
Shimura Danzo took a few steps on the spot, then suddenly a murderous look appeared on his face and he said.
In the original work, in order to become Hokage, he could send Yamato to assassinate Sarutobi Hiruzen, so Tsunade was naturally no problem.
"Do you know what will happen if you are discovered?"
Orochimaru asked, his eyes narrowed when he heard that.
"Of course I know."
Shimura Danzo said with an unpleasant expression, "But as long as you become Hokage, everything will be worth it!"
Orochimaru couldn't help but frown.
For both moral and logical reasons, he didn't want to attack Tsunade.
After all, they are teammates, and there is also the relationship with Rope Tree.
"Orochimaru, now is not the time to hesitate!"
Seeing this, Shimura Danzo hurriedly said, "Don't forget our previous agreement!"
"It's not easy to ambush her."
Orochimaru said slowly, "There is also Lao Shi, who defeated the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, and Hanekawa, who killed the Third Mizukage."
Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo fell silent.
When he mentioned Hanekawa, his heart ached.
This genius should have belonged to his root, but he missed a step and was snatched away by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade.
Now it has become his biggest headache.
If you want to kill Tsunade, Hanekawa can't be avoided.
With the strength of their teachers and students, if the Hidden Cloud Village wants to defeat them, it will be possible only with the intervention of the Fourth Raikage or the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee.
"Leave it to me."
Shimura Danzo said in a deep voice, "No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try."
And he may not be unable to do it.
Although the Root has been disbanded, the members still obey him.
With the cooperation of Orochimaru, the chances of success are very high.
Orochimaru looked at Danzo Shimura who was thinking and couldn't help but shook his head.
He probably forgot that Tsunade and Hanekawa had the Yin Seal.
Killing them is extremely difficult, and at most they will be seriously injured.
But this has nothing to do with him.
If Shimura Danzo wants to go crazy, let him do it.
……
The headquarters of the Hidden Cloud Village in the Frost Country.
The Fourth Raikage Ai, Killer Bee, Dodai, Mabui, the two Yumokujin and other ninjas gathered in the main tent.
The mobilization of 3,000 ninjas from Konoha Village made too much noise to be hidden from them.
"I've already found out that it's Tsunade who's leading the team."
Tutai said with a serious expression.
"It seems that Konoha Village wants to fight us."
Mabui saw through Sarutobi Hiruzen's intention at a glance.
It's pretty obvious after all.
"Mabui, after the meeting is over, use the Heaven's Sending Technique to send me back to the Hidden Cloud Village."
Ai spoke up.
The Sky-Song Technique can instantly teleport the target to a designated location through high-speed movement.
But it is different from the Flying Thunder God Technique. It is not a space-time ninjutsu. It is a bit like a super-enhanced version of the Instant Body Technique.
Because of the fast speed, the target will produce severe friction with the air.
Ordinary ninjas cannot endure this kind of friction and their bodies will be torn into pieces.
In the entire ninja world, the only one who can withstand this kind of friction is the Fourth Raikage Ai.
Other than that, it's mostly used to transport dead objects.
"Yes."
Mabui nodded.
She knew the reason Ai went back was to call for help.
Tsunade and three thousand ninjas are enough to give Konoha Village an absolute advantage, so the Hidden Cloud Village also has to dispatch three thousand ninjas to support it.
Fortunately, the Third Raikage held back the Iwagakure Village with his death, so there are still some remaining troops that can be mobilized.
"Can we start this war with Hanekawa?"
Tutai thought for a moment and said, "He is in a very high position now. If he can help us, we will definitely win."
"He has betrayed us!"
The two wooden men said coldly after hearing this.
Samui wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally could only sigh in his heart.
After what happened last time, Hanekawa completely lost the trust of the Hidden Cloud Village.
"But there are still restrictions on him."
Tutai narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe we can do something about it."
"The Leaf Village has a very sophisticated sealing technique. Whether the ban is still in place is a question."
Ma Buyi said calmly, "If you want to use him, you must first make sure that the ban is still in place."
"I'll find a chance to test it out."
Tutai nodded and said.
"What if he's gone?"
Samui asked hesitantly.
"There is one last solution."
Mabui said slowly, "Revealing his identity will have adverse effects, whether Konoha Village believes it or not."
"This should have been done a long time ago!"
The two wooden people agreed very much.
"..."
Samui opened his mouth.
What she wanted to say was that such words would lead to a complete break between Hanekawa and the Hidden Cloud Village.
But it's clear they don't care about that anymore.
After all, a spy who is not loyal to the Hidden Cloud Village is meaningless.
"Then let's do this for now."
Ai stood up and said, "Ma Buyi, take me back."
……
The next morning.
After breakfast, under the leadership of Tsunade, three thousand Konoha Village ninjas headed to the Frost Country.
Three days later in the afternoon, they arrived at the Konoha Village headquarters.
As the barrier opened, Orochimaru, Danzo Shimura, Sakumo Hatake and others walked out.
Hanekawa took a quick glance and saw Uchiha Shisui, Sarutobi Asuma, and Shizune.
Because of the presence of Orochimaru and Tsunade, none of them dared to speak, only Asuma Sarutobi waved at him.
Hanekawa nodded slightly in response.
But what he is most interested in now is not Asuma Sarutobi, but Uchiha Shisui.
As expected, he had already opened his Mangekyō Sharingan.
I just don't know if it's another god.
"Orochimaru, long time no see."
Tsunade walked up to Orochimaru and greeted him.
"It was for a while."
Orochimaru said with a faint smile.
"It's rare that we can still fight side by side."
Tsunade's face showed a hint of nostalgia, "Too bad Jiraiya isn't here."
"Yes."
Orochimaru nodded.
"Now is not the time to reminisce."
Shimura Danzo asked in a deep voice, "Orochimaru, how should we arrange these three thousand ninjas?"
"Let them go down and rest first."
Tsunade said with a frown.
"Tsunade, the commander here is Orochimaru, not you!"
Shimura Danzo snorted and said.
"Shut up!"
Tsunade responded without hesitation, "Since you know that Orochimaru is the commander, then in what capacity are you giving orders here?"
This old guy, she hadn't even settled the score with him for the Wood Release experiment yet, but he started teaching her a lesson first.
Hanekawa raised an eyebrow.
It's obvious suppression.
He naturally knew why Shimura Danzo did this.
It's simply because he is afraid that Tsunade will steal the credit.
After all, if the fight continues, it will be difficult for Orochimaru to compete.
But given Tsunade's personality, she would naturally not indulge Danzo Shimura.
"you!"
Shimura Danzo was so angry that his body was shaking.
It is true that he is the Hokage's assistant, but he is not the commander, not even the deputy commander.
"Tsunade, take them to the tent first. I will assign tasks tomorrow."
Orochimaru interrupted the quarrel between the two and said.
The brief meeting ended.
Tsunade didn't even look at Danzo Shimura and went to the tent that was prepared for her.
"Why is he targeting Tsunade-sensei?"
Yuhi Kurenai asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Because of the competition for the next Hokage."
Hanekawa glanced at Tsunade and said casually.
"what?"
Yuhi Kurenai showed surprise on her face, "Can he still compete for the position of Hokage at his age?"
In her opinion, the next Hokage will definitely be one of the three ninjas of Konoha.
Hanekawa couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.
Tsunade did the same, smiling happily.
"What did I say wrong?"
Xihi Kurenai looked confused.
"That's right."
Hanekawa explained, "But this time he's helping the teacher's teammate, Orochimaru."
"Then what should we do?"
Yuhi Kurenai asked hurriedly, "We can't let him take away Tsunade-sensei's position as Hokage."
"...?"
Tsunade's mouth twitched.
Why are you talking as if I've already become Hokage?
"Don't worry too much."
Hanekawa smiled and said, "With the strength of our team, he can't restrict us."
"Let's see what they do first."
Tsunade said nonchalantly.
The next morning, Hanekawa and his team received their assigned tasks.
"So you want us to treat the wounded right here at the base camp?"
After reading the task, Tsunade smiled and said, "This method is not bad. After all, we have three medical ninjas in our team."
