Chapter 58: The Land of Whirlpools' plea for help is fake news!?
A ragged intelligence ninja leaves the Hokage Building.
This scene happened to fall into Yuuki's Unicorn Bug's field of vision.
In a hazy vision, he seemed to see his family, whose lineage had been passed down since the Warring States period, weeping amidst the flames of war.
He adopted a worried expression.
Continue to rescue the villagers and some unclaimed 'property'.
The task of moving the property was handled by the Chimera ants.
This is another plan of Yuuki.
Zerg Expansion and Development Plan!
The ninja world is a vast untapped resource area; confining it to Konoha is not advisable.
He needs to explore this 'delicious cake' from more angles.
The Chimera Ant Clan will exist as an insectoid race independent of Konoha Yuuki's forces. They can even form contracts with other ninjas, but for a fee.
Incidentally, they also become like the black gloves, carrying out some shady tasks.
For example, he robbed the rich to help the poor, stealing ownerless items from the Leaf Village to provide relief to the impoverished Yuki.
Thinking this through, Yuuki roughly tallied the value of the supplies that had been moved within the psychic space and had a general idea of their worth.
Twenty million taels of cash!
The scattered supplies amount to approximately ten million to five million taels of silver!
After a night of 'rescue', they actually found an 'Asuma head'!
There's no way around it, the villagers of Konoha are just too rich!
As the wealthiest and safest area in the ninja world, even ordinary civilians accumulate exceptionally large fortunes.
Even a dilapidated basement in Konoha Village is much more expensive than a small villa in the countryside of the Land of Fire!
Yuuki sighed inwardly, "As expected, robbery is the fastest way to make money!"
"call!"
Yuuki took a deep breath and leaned against a tree to rest.
The valuables in the affected area have been almost completely looted.
For safety reasons, the supplies were mainly transported from houses that had been burned or blown up, and the chimera ants were responsible for carrying them out.
It doesn't involve anyone else.
Yuuki was somewhat puzzled; why hadn't the Anbu come looking for them yet?
Konoha Hospital, the Medical Association, and the Hokage Building are almost in a straight line, with Konoha Hospital in the middle.
All three departments are located in the core area of Konoha Village.
If a fire breaks out in the core area, at the very least they'll question the person in charge, right?
Yuuki even prepared his lines for how to give a perfunctory response.
Since they haven't come knocking yet...
Thinking this way, he also had a different guess: each of the events that broke out tonight was more important than the mere medical association!
Yuuki suddenly closed his eyes.
Spy uprising, Thousand Hands rescue, Uchiha 'overstepping authority'.
The actions of the Uchiha clan, in particular, probably exerted the strongest sense of pressure on the Hokage lineage!
The police department, which is fully controlled by the Uchiha clan, is responsible for security within Konoha Village.
In theory, a spy riot, with the entire police force mobilized to arrest people, is perfectly justifiable.
But if fireworks and firecrackers are set off together, and signal flares are used like they're free, then there's a big problem.
What does Uchiha mean?
To make our presence felt?
Besides, theory is theory, and reality is reality.
The Third Hokage, a dignified figure, just gave the Uchiha a little kindness, and you've already gotten cocky?
"Kid! Didn't I tell you to obediently hide in the Uchiha clan's territory?!"
The sound of Tsunade gritting her teeth came from behind Yuuki, and it was clear that the woman was in a bad mood.
Yuuki scratched his head sheepishly: "Lady Tsunade, the village has been attacked, how can I hide at home?"
After saying that, his expression turned angry: "The enemy's spies are despicable! They actually burned down the association. It's a pity everyone's efforts were in vain. But why attack the medical association?"
Seeing the usually intelligent Yuuki looking troubled and confused, Tsunade was relieved for a moment, but then her expression turned extremely ugly.
This kid only got involved in the hospital's affairs and is unaware of the recent developments in the village.
Is this the Fire Medical Association?
No, this is a slap in the face to the Senju family!
That old man is so inconsiderate of the bigger picture!
Regardless of how the Senju and Hokage factions fight, everyone tacitly agrees not to openly discuss their conflicts.
Konoha Village is in harmony, and the villagers' lives are getting better and better!
This time, the Hokage faction actually set fire to seize power!
If they dare to set fires today, they dare to assassinate tomorrow!
After calming down and thinking for a while, Tsunade wondered if she recommended Akimichi Torifu to become the fourth elder in order to get revenge on her grandmother.
"Alright, kid, come with me to investigate the traces within the Medical Association!"
Tsunade had absolutely no hope of finding any clues.
Since some people have done it, how can it be so easily detected?
A huge fire destroyed everything.
......
"Hiruzen, about the Medical Association..."
In the Hokage's office, Koharu Utatane wanted to report the deaths of two Utatane clan ninjas at the Medical Association building, but she didn't know how to say it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting in a chair, interrupted, "Koharu, what do you think of this intelligence that came from the east?"
He handed the intelligence that several ninjas had risked their lives to send back from the east side of the Land of Fire to Koharu Utatane.
Standing to the side, Xiaochun, a student in the dormitory, read it carefully, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper as she read.
"The Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Fire have always been friendly, and the Uzumaki clan has a long-standing alliance with the Senju clan. It is only right and proper that we support the Uzumaki."
"only...."
Her brow furrowed even deeper; this decision was difficult to make.
Once the decision is made to support the Land of Whirlpools, the strategy of deploying the Land of Rain on the western side can essentially be declared a failure.
"Xiaochun, is that all you see?"
As the leader of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a much deeper vision.
On one hand, there are allies of the Senju, and on the other hand, there is a strategy to establish one's own prestige.
It's a difficult decision...
What if the Land of Whirlpools really was attacked by the Hidden Mist Village?
After a night of turmoil, Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a state of turmoil.
He lit his pipe, took a deep drag, and hesitated before saying:
"Is it possible that this request for help is fake?"
"Fake? Fake!" Koharu Utatane fell into deep thought, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was full of hesitation: "A single piece of information is indeed difficult to determine whether it is true or false."
Hearing his old comrade's agreement, Hiruzen Sarutobi became even more certain of his guess.
Upon receiving the letter requesting assistance, he immediately doubted the authenticity of the information and suspected it was a new tactic employed by the Senju family.
What would happen if we rushed to the aid of the Vortex Clan?
The greatest enemy of the Land of Whirlpools is undoubtedly the Hidden Mist Village.
Small-scale ninja teams are unlikely to provide much support!
However, mobilizing the main force of the Rain Country battlefield would mean that the previous strategy would be completely useless!
The ninjas who had been transferred from the east side had to be transferred back!
Changing orders frequently is a major taboo for those in power!
This is a major blow to his prestige as the Third Hokage!
After seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression relax, Koharu Utatane in the office breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hiruzen, the Land of Whirlpools is facing a crisis. Has the Anbu not sent back any news?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi began to ponder.
Yes, the crisis in the Land of Whirlpools must be fake.
The two secret squads he dispatched did not send back any information.
The Sarutobi ninja who was dispatched did not return.
Why were only a few close Senju ninjas able to send back intelligence?
This doesn't make sense!
Did all the ANBU and clan ninjas die in battle?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
After figuring out the cause and effect, Hiruzen Sarutobi abandoned his hesitation, as if everything was under control.
"Xiaochun! You must take on the responsibility of the medical department."
"At the same time, I order Yan to absolutely not allow any mishaps on the battlefield in the Land of Rain!"
