This chapter is very interesting.
Because, while I was coding, I accidentally dropped my phone in the toilet.
Fire Country, Hokage Building, Hokage Office.
"Teacher, you see, this is the information from the last few times. I also went to the ANBU to get some relevant information.
My ANBU team was lurking in the Kingdom of Wind and discovered that in recent months, the Kingdom of Wind had sent a large number of ninjas to the border and never came back.
The information collected by others in ANBU shows that the border defense strength of the Kingdom of Wind has not increased.
News came from the ANBU of the River Kingdom that there are a large number of lurking personnel from the Wind Kingdom in the River Kingdom, and they should all be ninjas."
Danzo said as he took out a large pile of information scrolls from his arms.
Tobirama looked at the table in front of him, which was originally full of scrolls and books, and there was another pile of scrolls, and he had given up the intention of looking through it: "Duanzo, if you have discovered something, just tell me, I will tell you
I don’t care too much about the specific process and content of the information obtained.”
"Yes, sensei." Danzo decisively gave up on showing off his plans, "Although the purpose of Sand Ninja Village in the Country of Wind is not clear, they sent a large number of ninjas, and it is very likely that they have some plans in the Country of Rivers.
And this is a good opportunity, an opportunity to make trouble.
If the place of trouble is not within the Kingdom of Wind, we can avoid the deterioration of the situation. Showing the strength of our Konoha can arouse the fear of all countries. And if we arouse the fear of the major ninja villages in various countries, we can delay the arrival of the war."
Tobirama thought for a while and asked, "What do you need?"
Danzo was delighted. The reason why he came here was, on the one hand, to show himself to the second generation and show his face so that the second generation would often think of him.
In modern times, the fastest-promoted person in any company is not the one who works hard, but the one who often brags and smacks the boss.
On the other hand, Danzo also wants to recruit some people to help him, which can also indirectly increase his leadership position in the hearts of others.
Only by recruiting some people to support him can he have a greater chance of winning the position of the Third Hokage.
"Teacher, the number of ninjas sent by the Kingdom of Wind this time exceeds ten teams. I need your support."
Tobirama didn't hesitate at all and immediately replied: "Then...Mirror Team will go to the border with you."
Danzo: "..."
Tobirama: "..."
There was a dead silence in the office.
(ヘ#)
Danzo is willing to act with anyone, but this "anyone" does not include the Uchiha clan.
But Tobirama just appointed Uchiha.
Danzo had a bad feeling. Could it be that... in the original work, Danzo often teamed up with Kagami, causing him to miss the position of Hokage?
Danzo felt that he still needed to be rescued.
"Teacher, Tifeng, Menyan, Koharu, they should be more suitable, right? After all, their team has not acted with my team yet." In fact, there is no more suitable statement, it is just that Danzo hopes that Tobirama will give him some advice.
He changes his partner.
"Tou Feng, Men Yan and Koharu are all on a mission. Hiruzen... Hiruzen's team has experienced attrition in the last mission. The team is being reorganized and waiting for new members to join. Let's do this, let Hiruzen accompany you.
Go ahead and enlighten him by the way."
Hiruzen? Danzo felt even worse. He began to regret that his intelligence organization did not control the internal intelligence of Konoha. If he had known what teams were on standby in Konoha before coming to the second generation, he would have been able to predict possible consequences.
It's the result.
Danzo silently vowed to start increasing monitoring and intelligence collection within Konoha after returning.
As for enlightening Hiruzen?
impossible.
Not interested in.
Haha~
Soon, Kagami led his team to Danzo.
Hiruzen arrived soon, alone. Danzo even wondered if he was the only one left in Hiruzen's team.
In the original work, Hiruzen's three apprentices have never been reduced in number. This is the butterfly effect of time travel~
Danzo is willing to take the blame for this, but will not admit it.
Now Danzo is not only not sad for Hiruzen, but also a little happy.
You can't laugh, I'm a ninja, I have to hold it back.
(n△n)
…
Danzo, as the commander-in-chief of this mission, has the authority to command them.
But Danzo didn't plan to use chicken feathers as command arrows, he just arranged for them to act on their own and look after the team.
The core of Danzo's mission this time is not to cause trouble, not to fight, not to kill anyone. It is to shock the surrounding area.
Therefore, Danzo did not choose to infiltrate or operate covertly, but headed to the River Country without hesitation.
A team of nearly a hundred people left Konoha in a mighty manner.
The team members are Danzo and the white dragon horse he brought back from Hell Valley, and then there are Danzo's three apprentices, Danzo's ten-man guard, and dozens of outstanding students selected by Danzo from among the trainees.
Together with some hired entourage, the total number is close to a hundred.
Maybe it was the experience of the Blood Pond clan last time, but Uchiha Kagami's team seemed to have learned something extraordinary.
Including Kagami, the four of them did not hide themselves, but mingled with the team and fought fiercely with Danzo's trainees.
"The scientific ninjutsu proposed by Danzo-sama is very powerful, you know? I feel like I am almost as strong as a jounin."
"Yaoyaoyao, have you learned any scientific ninjutsu?"
"Of course... of course, of course I will... I will learn it. I am practicing."
"What are you talking about? What scientific ninjutsu?"
"Hey, you are in Master Uchiha Kagami's team... Shisui-senpai, right? What we are talking about is the scientific ninjutsu proposed by Master Danzo, it is very powerful."
"Really? Really? Can you tell me about it?"
"Of course it's no problem. Danzo-sama didn't say anything about keeping it secret. You can know as much as you want."
"It's a pity that Danzo-sama prohibits the scroll from leaving the Sutra Pavilion, so I can't show you the real thing."
"I don't remember much, so I'll just tell you about the principle of leverage."
…
A few days later, Danzo's team slowly arrived at Suncheng, the capital of the River Country.
In Juncheng, the daimyo arranged an honor guard to welcome this "envoy" from the Land of Fire.
Yes, Danzo came to the River Country to conduct diplomatic meetings on behalf of the Fire Country daimyo in the name of an "embassy".
As for why Danzo has this kind of power, of course it is because Danzo has made outstanding contributions to the economy of the Country of Fire.
When Danzo used the Flying Thunder God to rush to the capital of the Fire Country and met with the Fire Country Daimyo, the Daimyo gave Danzo this power.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire had a very good first impression of Danzo, and even hinted that Danzo could try to seize the position of Hokage, and the Daimyo would secretly support it.
Danzo did not respond.
But I already had mmp in my heart.
A white wolf with empty hands, wants to split Konoha from within? Want to seize the power of Konoha? Or...
Danzo even wondered if it was like this in the original work, and various external factors tempted him, and finally changed Danzo's original intention.
In the original work, it was the Daimyo of the Land of Fire who finally pushed Danzo to the top and became the "Acting Hokage".
"Welcome, welcome, welcome to the envoy." A group of gorgeously dressed people greeted Danzo's team.
"Hello, sorry to bother you. We are the envoy of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. My name is Danzo Shimura. We are here to establish friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries." Danzo did not recognize the person in front of him, but
Judging from the splendid scene, I guessed that he must be an official representing the daimyo of the River Country...or he might not be an official.
After a brief negotiation, the "embassy" was placed at an inn in Suncheng, while Danzo was taken alone to the Daming Mansion in Suncheng, River Country.
Daming Mansion in the Country of Rivers is a four-cornered flying caltrop building similar to ancient China. After entering, there are five steps and one guard post and ten steps.
After many inspections, we finally arrived at a large room.
There is someone vaguely visible behind the curtain, most likely the name of the River Kingdom.
In front of the curtain stood two officials responsible for delivering messages.
"The envoy from Shiranui Country, Mr. Danzo Shimura, why are you here?"
Danzo glanced around with contempt. There were people behind the four movable wooden walls, and they were mainly ninjas, with samurai mixed in. There were even some civilian warriors who were neither ninjas nor samurai.
However, there is not a single chakra that reaches the level of jounin.
Worse than a wandering ninja.
Finally, Danzo's eyes fell on the two officials in front of the curtain.
"The Daimyo of the Fire Country has received information that a large number of Wind Country ninjas have secretly infiltrated your country. Our country does not want war to break out in neighboring countries, so we have come to maintain peace." Danzo spoke very slowly in front of the officials of the River Country.
On the one hand, he wanted the other party to hear clearly, and on the other hand, Danzo didn't want to do anything bad, so he deliberately slowed down his speech.
"Peace?" One of the officials who delivered the message excitedly made his own statement before delivering the message. "Both countries, Wind and Fire, have sent ninjas to our River Country. Do you want to start a war here?"
Danzo glanced at the official strangely, but instead of talking to him, he looked at the curtain.
The person behind the curtain seemed to have said something, but the voice was too low to be heard.
"How do you plan to maintain peace?" Another official faithfully conveyed the daimyo's words.
"We have received information that the number of ninjas who have invaded the Kingdom of Wind has exceeded a hundred, and among them there are at least twenty jounin." After saying this, Danzo stopped and looked carefully at the figure behind the curtain. It seemed that there was no one there.
There was no big reaction, "We don't know the purpose of these people coming to your country, but it is enough to subvert your country's regime."
Your country has always remained neutral, and we also hope that you will always remain neutral. Therefore, we cannot allow the invasion of the Kingdom of Wind, nor allow the Kingdom of Wind to threaten your country's political system.
In order to maintain peace, we plan to go to the border of the Kingdom of Wind to block the possibility of their invasion.
However, we, the Fire Nation, have always maintained friendly relations with your country. We cannot enter your country at will, let alone... and we will not send ninjas into your territory.
So, we need your country’s consent.”
Although he said this, Danzo knew in his heart that this was just a formality to give Xiaoguo some face.
It is a routine operation for the five major countries to infiltrate ninjas into neighboring small countries.
Almost no small country is an exception. The defenses of small countries are already riddled with holes.
Danzo's purpose is just to get a "status". In other words, "I want to build a memorial arch after making a good reputation."
…
The Fire Nation is huge, and the surrounding small countries only survive in the cracks between the five major countries.
No matter whether the Fire Nation "maintains peace" or not, they don't have the courage to refuse.
After the minister who was hostile to the Country of Fire was dragged away.
The seemingly amicable discussion lasted a whole day, and the main discussion was about some details of "maintaining peace", such as where the "peacekeeping force" can only camp, such as what actions the "peacekeeping force" can only do, such as "peacekeeping force"
What independent rights of action does the "troops" have in the River Country?
Of course, in these detailed discussions, Danzo almost always wins.
Who says Danzo is so powerful? There are nearly a hundred Fire Nation "envoys" living outside Daming Mansion.
In the end, Danzo left the Daming Mansion of River Country with satisfaction, but he also kindly left behind a batch of "fake machines" from Tianmei Store as a sign of friendly exchanges between the two countries.
By the way, I promoted the Tianmei store.
The northwest boundary of the Kingdom of Rivers is adjacent to the southeastern boundary of the Kingdom of Winds.
The desert is yellow-orange, like patches of golden ocean, and countless wrinkles of sand and stones are like solidified waves, extending all the way to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Wind.
Danzo stood on a sand dune. The sand dune under his feet was slightly different from the sand dunes in the distance. The sand was dotted with countless green short grasses. Some of them had been completely buried by the yellow sand, while others stubbornly peeled away the sand to reveal themselves.
The presence.
Behind him is the landscape of the River Kingdom, with strange black rocks standing in the yellow sand. Occasionally, you can see green embellishments. During this period, some springs slowly gush out from some strange rocks, and follow the gaps in the strange rocks towards the hinterland of the River Kingdom.
Gather.
According to the locals of the River Kingdom, this is the borderline of the River Kingdom close to the Kingdom of Wind, and is an area with the richest underground spring water. The distance extending from the strange rock area to the Kingdom of Wind for about twenty miles belongs to the River Kingdom.
country.
Decades ago, the sand dune at the foot of Danzo was an area of strange rocks. Now there are some springs buried underneath, providing water sources to support the drought-tolerant plants on the dune.
Three days ago, Danzo received permission from the daimyo of the River Country and took his team with him to station at the border of the River Country with the documents issued by the River Country.
Danzo did not hide his whereabouts. When the team first arrived here, the ninjas from Sand Ninja Village in the Kingdom of Wind had been scouting around the camp. During this period, they even saw the scouting ninjas from the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Water.
.
Danzo was not in a hurry to take the next step, but sent out the reconnaissance ninjas from his own team.
Use the camp as bait to get some prisoners first.
There were also dozens of encounters between scouting ninjas. Because of the secret protection of Danzo and Uchiha Kagami, although many of the scouting ninjas on Danzo's side were injured, none of them died.
The reconnaissance ninjas from other countries were either driven to farther places for reconnaissance, killed, or captured.
A few days later, the enemy ninjas who were conducting reconnaissance outside the camp had retreated further away. The captured ninjas were too low-level and most of them had little to gain. They were thrown in front of the Uchiha Mirror by Danzo and told everything they knew.
It's crystal clear.
A ninja without a forehead protector but with the word "Shimura" embroidered on his shoulder came to Danzo: "Lord Danzo, as per your request, everything is ready."
Danzo came here not for tourism, but to show off his military power. He used the most convenient excuse of "maintaining peace" to demonstrate Konoha's military power.
And showing force does not mean waiting for the enemy to come, it can be shown even if there are no enemies.
It was just like a modern military exercise, except that this time Danzo wanted to show the overall strength of Konoha's ninjas.
