Shortly after Hinagazou and others left, new guests arrived near Kusanagi Village.
Standing on a nearby high ground, Payne looked down at the Kusakaku that was almost reduced to ruins, with no emotion in his eyes. The guard beside him was a gloomy Orochimaru.
After Orochimaru was defeated, he did not contact Payne immediately, but Payne arrived here.
Pain paid special attention to Caoyin, who was adjacent to Yuyin Village and had recently sent people to contact and form an alliance in the black market.
After watching the Kusakure Village for a long time, and after making sure that the senior management of Kusakure did not know the specific location of the Akatsuki organization, Pain appeared in the hole and looked thoughtfully at the former location of the Box of Bliss.
Possessing the Samsara Eye, he instantly discovered traces of chakra remaining here, and gradually frowned.
After hearing the legend of the Box of Bliss, he frowned, looked at Orochimaru and asked, "Where did the Box of Bliss go?"
It is true that Payne wants to collect tailed beasts and challenge the order of the five great nations.
But he would never let an evil thing that condensed such chakra harm the ninja world.
What he has to do is to establish a deterrent that can destroy a country and achieve eternal peace between countries.
After pondering for a while, Orochimaru concealed a little bit about what happened during the day. He just mentioned the Box of Bliss and was handled by the Jonin who came from Konoha.
After listening, Payne fell into deep thought. Solving the Box of Bliss was nothing.
But the appearance of Kusagakure in Konoha is a big problem. If the Konoha ninja is allowed to investigate the Rain Country, he will not be afraid of Konoha and Sunagakure, but the citizens of the Rain Country.
Maybe we need to deepen our cooperation with Ohnoki and wait for Ichio's resurrection.
………
After being away for several weeks, Hinata Zang and Yin returned to Konoha.
Without alerting anyone, the two of them walked all the way to the Hokage's office and saw the third Hokage busy.
In addition to the Third Hokage, there are also two advisory elders, Yan and Koharu, staying in the office.
After handing over the mission log, the Third Hokage only glanced at it for a few moments before frowning, attracting the side glances of the other two advisor elders.
"Hiruzen, what happened? Did you find the base of the Akatsuki organization?"
"No..." The Third Hokage shook his head, his expression became extremely serious, and said: "When Zangheyin was investigating in Caoyin Village, he came across Caoyin Village and opened the Box of Bliss..."
"Box of Bliss!?" Mito Kado and Koharu's expressions changed slightly.
As advisory elders, they are often exposed to the secrets of the ninja world and know the meaning of the Box of Bliss.
The Box of Bliss once destroyed several kingdoms and allowed the Kingdom of Grass to ascend to the throne of the ninja world. However, the Kingdom of Grass was ultimately left alone because of the Box of Bliss.
Now that the Box of Bliss has been opened again, does Kusanagi want to challenge the order of the five major nations?
After a pause, the Third Hokage said: "Fortunately, the Box of Bliss has been resealed, but Orochimaru was also involved in opening the Box of Bliss..."
Having said this, the Third Hokage couldn't help but sigh.
After understanding that the problem of the Box of Bliss was solved, although the two consultant elders still had doubts, they changed the subject and said, "Then Kusakure Village is not the hiding place of the Akatsuki organization."
The reason why I say this is because in the past few weeks, ninjas who went out have returned one after another to report intelligence.
However, their intelligence was extremely limited and they could not determine the location of the Akatsuki organization's base at all. The only thing that was certain was that the Akatsuki organization had not taken root in the Kingdom of Fire.
As for the Earth and Water Kingdoms where the attacks were suspected to be serious, it was impossible for Konoha ninjas to search on a large scale.
Of course, in the Kingdom of Water, the Hokage still sent the best team to investigate, and issued the order to prioritize life.
After reading the mission log completely, the Third Hokage asked a few more questions about Orochimaru.
Hinata thought for a while and said seriously: "The chakra in Orochimaru's body is very chaotic, and he should still be conducting experiments similar to those back then."
"Okay, I understand." The Third Hokage waved his hand, signaling the two of them to leave.
After Hinata Zou and Nene who reported the mission left, Mito Kadoen next to him said: "Hiruzhan and Orochimaru opened the Box of Bliss. Perhaps it was the instruction of the Akatsuki organization. Kusanagi Village must have reached some kind of cooperation with Akatsuki.
.”
The Third Hokage didn't know when he had taken out his pipe and started smoking: "Yes, this matter is very serious. The Akatsuki organization may have started to unite with other ninja villages. I'm worried..."
Sandai's words were silent, but his expression showed concern.
So far, the Akatsuki organization has not shown any hostility towards Iwagakure and Kumogakure. Perhaps they are still gloating over Sunagakure and Konoha.
After all, there is no concrete evidence yet, so Akatsuki organizes to collect the tailed beasts.
One-tailed Shukaku chakra reappeared in the Kingdom of Wind, which meant that Shukaku was simply dead.
At this point, the Third Hokage hopes that the Akatsuki organization will capture the tailed beasts so that the five major nations can stand on the same front.
At this time, Koharu, who was staying silent, suddenly said: "The next steps of the Hiruzen, En, and Akatsuki organizations are still unknown, but Uchibo and Hyugazo were able to force Orochimaru back. Then their strength...
"
Koharu's intention when he went to bed was very clear, that is, he was worried that Uchibo and Hyugazo were too powerful. Although they were ninjas of Konoha, they were also members of the two major ninja clans.
They were able to force Orochimaru back, even if he was injured, but it also showed that they were close to the level of Sannin.
The ruling policy of the Hokage family is to suppress wealthy families such as Hinata and Uchiha.
Thinking of revealing Mangekyo Shisui, she suddenly felt that the tail of a wealthy family was too big to fall off.
The Third Hokage blew out a smoke ring. Of course he knew the current situation in the village, and he also understood that the gap in combat power between the Hokage family and the wealthy families was gradually narrowing.
But there are external enemies of the Akatsuki organization in front of us, and internal fighting will only cause unrest in the village.
This is why he reduced the size of his roots.
However, in terms of investigating the Akatsuki organization, Danzo should have some new gains.
After retracting his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Sandai put away the mission log and immediately focused on another plan. The content of the plan was very simple, and it was about holding the Chunin Examination.
The venue for the Chunin Examination was Konoha again. This was a major event in previous years that required careful preparation.
After all, the Chuunin Exam can show the strength of the younger generation of Ninja Village and intimidate other countries.
But under this year's circumstances, the Third Hokage and the advisory elders have no intention of preparing for the Chunin Exam.
Looking at the two advisory elders, the Third Hokage said: "I think this year's Chunin Exam can be cancelled. As for the promotion of Chunin, let's just look at the completion of the mission."
The advisory elders nodded, and they had no other objections to this move.
