196. The root that broke out of the ground

PreviousBack to directoryNext
When Danzo arrived at the conference room on crutches, other invited senior officials had arrived early.

As before, this meeting was still attended only by the advisory elders and the two Sannin. With just a few of them, they could make any decision on behalf of Konoha.

Danzo's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the higher-ups present, but this time he did not choose to bury his body in the darkness, but sat down next to Sandai.

Originally, that position belonged to young people like Jiraiya and Tsunade.

But after transplanting the first-generation cells, his body's vitality was not inferior to these two young men. Even with the first-generation cells in his body, he was closer to the first generation and Tobirama-sensei than Tsunade.

With his chin in his hands, Danzo habitually remained silent, listening to the arguments among the senior officials.

When the senior officials learned that two ANBU ministers, the third generation eldest son and his wife had passed away, and that the place of death was Kirigakure, their faces showed disbelief and surprise.

Sarutobi and his wife are a pair of powerful jounin. Even if they encounter a ninja with a title, they are still capable of fighting.

In the midst of turmoil, Kirigakure shouldn't have such a powerful jounin.

His heart was filled with grief, but the third generation maintained his composure as a Hokage and said slowly: "They brought back a piece of information, a piece of information that is very important to the village."

After a short pause, under the expectant eyes of the senior officials, the third generation spoke again: "The fourth generation Gotachibana Yagura of Kirigakure Village may have been manipulated by members of the Akatsuki organization. The manipulator may have been the masked man who created the Nine-Tails Rebellion, or even

The little monkeys also died in the hands of the masked man."

After saying this, the three generations were filled with sighs, as if they were lamenting the passing of their eldest son and daughter-in-law.

In the sad atmosphere, Mito Katoen broke the silence: "Hiruzhan, as far as I know, the fourth generation of Kirigakure is a perfect Jinchuuriki. How could he be manipulated?"

In the ninja world, it is almost common sense that a perfect Jinchuuriki can be immune to genjutsu. The method of genjutsu is to use chakra to control the brain and five senses. The violent tailed beast in the jinchuriki's body can interfere with the genjutsu chakra.

The third generation waved his hand: "The other party is the man he claims to be. That man originally controlled the nine-tailed beast, the strongest tailed beast. The previous battle with Minato also illustrates this point. However, the top priority is the situation of Kirigakure."

As soon as this was said, the others nodded slightly and began to imagine Kirigakure's current situation.

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. A small mercenary organization secretly controlled one of the Five Shadows, and had a crushing advantage over Sunagakure in terms of combat power.

For a while, there was a heated discussion in the conference room, discussing Konoha's response to Kirigakure's current situation, and the possible next plan of the Akatsuki organization.

Regarding these matters, the senior officials are arguing endlessly. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Konoha cannot just sit back and ignore the current situation of Kirigakure.

No one knows whether those rebel ninjas who attack the ninja villages will provoke a war between the ninja villages.

But apart from knowing this, what they can do is extremely limited. Konoha cannot interfere in the internal affairs of Kirigakure Village, nor can it openly doubt the shadow of one village.

Thinking of this, the third generation couldn't help but have a headache. Then he looked at Jiraiya and changed the topic: "Jiraiya, is there really no possibility of Orochimaru and the others coming back?"

Jiraiya's expression changed when he heard this, he shook his head slightly and sighed in his heart.

Both Hirohu and Orochimaru were his former friends, and the latter was a close comrade-in-arms. Now they have defected to the village and even joined the Akatsuki organization that attacked the village.

That day, they even attacked Tsunade, but what was the reason why they attacked Tsunade?

At this time, Jiraiya remembered those taboo experiments Beiruhu had studied and spoke out all his guesses.

"Human experiments?!"

After learning that Orochimaru and Beiruhu may still be conducting cruel human experiments, everyone became a little changed.

In fact, human experimentation was not prohibited in the village, but their methods were too cruel and bloody, and the targets were nearby villagers and ninjas. This undoubtedly hit the bottom line, so they were expelled.

The third generation's expression was even more complicated. Orochimaru, who he had let go at the beginning, was still stirring up trouble in the ninja world and threatening the village.

At this moment, Danzo, who had remained silent, said calmly: "A few days ago, the Root Team under my command discovered traces of the Akatsuki organization in the Land of Earth, and there was more than one person."

"The Kingdom of Earth?" Sandai frowned, looked at Danzo and said, "You still send your men to the Kingdom of Earth? This will provoke a war!"

"Facts have proved that what I did was not wrong. Although the mission was unsuccessful, we also found news that the Akatsuki organization was active in the Kingdom of Earth. And according to the investigation of the Root Team, Onoki was also in that area at the time."

Danzo looked into Sandai's eyes and said disapprovingly.

"So Ohnoki may have met or even cooperated with the Akatsuki organization?"

The third generation frowned and his thoughts began to diverge.

It is not impossible for Ohnoki, an old fox, to cooperate with the Akatsuki organization to attack other ninja villages after seeing the strength of the Akatsuki organization.

If you think about it carefully, the ninja world cannot have an organization where so many powerful people gather together.

If Ohnoki cooperates to protect the Akatsuki organization, then everything can be explained clearly, why the Akatsuki organization is so unscrupulous, and why the Akatsuki organization's stronghold has not been found for so long.

But there are also many unreasonable reasons, such as why the Akatsuki organization only targeted the tailed beasts but did not cause a greater blow to Sunagakure.

As if he had sensed the Third Generation's thoughts, Danzo said calmly: "Whether there is any cooperation with Japan remains to be verified, but the base of the Akatsuki organization is likely to be near that area at that time."

Danzo's words brought Sandai back to reality. He spread out the map and looked at it for a few times before saying, "That area is the Land of Earth, the junction of the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass. Where is it exactly?"

Jiraiya pondered for a while and said: "It is unlikely that the Kingdom of Rain is the territory of that demigod."

Jiraiya was deeply impressed by Sansho Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure Village who was known as the demigod and awarded him and others the Sannin title.

With that demigod's ability, if he had the weapon of the Akatsuki Organization, he would have started a war long ago.

After turning to bed, Koharu looked at the Kingdom of Grass on the map and said slowly: "Although the Kingdom of Grass was once the most powerful country, at its current level, it is impossible to accommodate the Akatsuki organization."

After ruling them out one by one, the senior officials found that there was no possibility of the existence of the Xiao organization in the three countries surrounding that area.

Danzo leaned on his cane and looked at everyone and said: "Hiruzhan, we must increase the number of ANBU dispatched to the outside world and find the true location of the Akatsuki organization."

The third generation glanced at Danzo, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "So, Danzo, do you have any better suggestions? There are not many ninjas in the village for defense."
