Chapter 84 Danzo Takes the Blame! I Laugh at the Foolishness of the Fourth Raikage and His Lack of W
Itachi, who was being trampled underfoot by Shingetsu, felt extremely ashamed and indignant. At this moment, after hearing Shingetsu's hurtful words, his belief in the Will of Fire collapsed instantly.
The Will of Fire!
Naruto mindset!
Unable to bridge the power gap!
This world!
Ultimately, it comes down to strength!
For the first time, he felt so clearly how easily individual sacrifices and family protection could be dismissed in the face of the so-called overall situation and the interests of the village.
He dared not turn his eyes to look at the still water.
This person was like a brother, a friend, and a mentor to me on my ninja journey.
What will he do?
When Shisui heard Kamizuki's words, he glanced at Itachi again, his eyes revealing a conflicted and painful expression.
To be fair, what Shingetsu said is correct.
But that would destroy all his past beliefs.
Ultimately, he made a decision.
"Kamizuki, you've won. This time, I'm on your side!" After witnessing all of this and recalling Danzo and the higher-ups' decision to sacrifice Hyuga, Shisui finally made his decision.
"Thank you, Brother Shisui!" Kamui released his foot from Itachi's cheek.
Shisui knelt beside the unconscious Samui, the magnificent kaleidoscope pattern in his eyes slowly rotating, his powerful pupils quietly invading Samui's mind.
Shisui's illusion skills were extremely high. It was not a crude control, but rather the implantation of a carefully woven memory and subconscious instructions deep within Samui's consciousness.
In her memory, Chloe and Troy were defeated in the Hyuga clan's territory by the combined forces of Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Kamizuki. She herself barely escaped and risked her life to return to Kumogakure to report the news. At the same time, deep within her consciousness, a hidden command was planted: obey Kamizuki's orders.
"Brother Shisui, there's no need to blame yourself. This was for self-preservation, and also to teach those arrogant guys in Konoha a lesson." Shingetsu looked at the unconscious Samui and said calmly, "She will become a fuse, igniting the time bomb that Danzo himself planted."
Itachi looked at Shingetsu and Shisui with a complicated expression.
This time, he didn't speak, but chose to watch.
He was on the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War at a young age.
Itachi had a deep understanding of the meaning of life and death, family, and village.
He thought he understood everything perfectly.
However, the qualities that Shenyue displayed were ones he had never seen before.
Although it's rather unusual and outrageous.
But it made him feel a little envious.
"Could it be that he was really right?" Itachi touched the shoe print on his cheek, which still felt a little burning.
……
For the next ten days or so, Konoha appeared outwardly calm and peaceful.
The Hyuga clan incident was temporarily suppressed, while Danzo kept an unusually low profile, fully preparing for his secret mission of "kidnapping a Jinchuriki," and drawing several elite Jonin from "Root" who were most skilled in infiltration, assassination, and intelligence gathering.
But beneath the calm surface, turbulent undercurrents are already surging.
Orochimaru leaked top-secret information to the intelligence department within Kumogakure through his secret channels.
Initially, the Cloud Village's higher-ups were skeptical, as information from unknown sources was not very credible.
However, shortly after the intelligence was delivered, Sam miraculously crossed the border alone and returned to Kumogakure village, covered in wounds.
She brought back information that partially matched the intelligence report: Chloe and Troy were ambushed in the Hyuga clan's territory in Konoha and killed by Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Kamizuki; Konoha's stance was firm. She escaped at the cost of her life.
Samui's testimony as a firsthand witness greatly enhanced the credibility of the anonymous intelligence.
"I never expected Konoha to be so arrogant, killing my Kumogakure's envoy and now trying to plunder our Jinchuriki?" The Fourth Raikage crushed the intelligence report in his hand, then clenched his fist and raised it high.
boom!
The table in front of him shattered instantly.
"Magnet Release: Troy, and Chloe, are both elite ninjas from our village!"
"Konoha actually dared to kill them all, and they even dared to covet my brother and the Two-Tails Yugito!" he roared angrily.
"Shimura Danzo is known as the Dark One of the Ninjas. If it were him, it wouldn't be surprising if he did something like this!" His female secretary calmly analyzed.
"Ninja Darkness, if he dares to come to our Cloud Village, we'll make him pay!" The Fourth Raikage's eyes widened in fury, his gaze filled with raging anger.
"Someone, summon the rest of you. I want to personally devise a plan to annihilate Konoha's Root!"
"Let's have Yugito and others come over too, unleash a Tailed Beast Ball from a distance, and see how Konoha defends against it!"
"At the same time, have elite Jonin lead the Anbu to secretly cross the border!"
He already harbored resentment towards Konoha, and now he was even more enraged.
He decided to turn the tables and directly involve the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer, in the plan.
On the other hand, outside the border of the Land of Lightning, a deadly ambush was secretly laid, led by elite Jonin.
Soon, the entire Hidden Cloud Village was secretly mobilized in a tense atmosphere.
Danzo Shimura, who was preparing to lead the expedition, suddenly felt a chill.
"Strange, the weather isn't cold, so why am I shivering more and more lately?" He tugged at his clothes.
After Orochimaru learned of this information through his trusted informants, he immediately reported it to Kamizuki.
"Beat him! Beat him hard! Ideally, cripple a few more of Danzo's Sharingan eyes!"
"Let's get ready quickly and see if we can find an opportunity to make our move!" Shen Yue rubbed his hands together, eager to get started, after hearing Orochimaru's report.
Everything was going according to his plan.
……
Moon Country.
This is a small country established by several Jonin leaders from various ninja villages who were tired of war after the Third Shinobi World War.
It lies sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.
The area is covered with lush vegetation, and the mountains are high with dense forests.
Many small animals also inhabit the area.
It has been quiet for many years since the Third Shinobi World War.
But today.
An uninvited guest has arrived.
"Lord Danzo, once we cross this mountain, we will enter the Land of Lightning!" Danzo was still leaning on his cane with one hand, accompanied by seven or eight elite Root ninjas.
These are all promising talents he has carefully cultivated over the years.
"This place is strategically located, easy to attack but difficult to defend!"
"However, in recent years, Cloud Village has been constantly attacking others, while the guarding of its own borders has been rather lax!"
Danzo's single eye swept across the surrounding landscape, taking in everything.
"Hahaha!" After a long while, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Lord Danzo, why are you laughing?" His other subordinates looked at him with some curiosity.
My immediate supervisor.
He is usually cold and ruthless.
He rarely smiles.
But then he suddenly burst out laughing.
Is he possessed by an evil spirit or has gone mad?
"I laugh at Uchiha Shingetsu's lack of strategy and the Fourth Raikage's lack of intelligence!"
"That Uchiha Shingetsu instigated Hiruzen to make me attack Kumogakure, thinking he could make me fight Kumogakure to the death!"
"But little did they know that the Land of Lightning has been expanding its military power in recent years, constantly attacking other countries while neglecting its own border defenses!"
