A dark stone house with only an incandescent lamp providing dim lighting.
This seems to be a place specially used for interrogation. There are all kinds of torture props placed everywhere, and many traces of black hair and blood can be seen on the ground.
at this time.
Three Kumogakure ninjas wearing gray shirts, gray trousers, and one-shouldered white coats were tied to a somewhat dirty wooden frame, their heads drooped, and they seemed to have lost consciousness.
The Kumogakure ninjas who have survived from the Kingdom of Wind have not yet been able to return to the Kingdom of Thunder. After all, the journey is far away.
But when such a group of panicked and injured Kumogakure ninjas passed by, and the Sandaime Raikage was nowhere to be seen, how could the intelligence departments of other ninja villages not help them?
It is inevitable that some Kumogakure ninjas will disappear inexplicably along the way.
"Sir, the information in their memory has been summarized."
A male ninja with somewhat brown hair handed a notebook with many words recorded in his hand to Danzo who had been waiting for a long time behind him.
Danzo currently has not yet obtained Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan.
Therefore, there is no bandage on the face, and the image looks much fresher.
However, his habit of wearing black robes has not changed. Coupled with his gloomy expression, his whole body exudes a depressing atmosphere.
"Um."
Danzo took it over. The ninja of the Yamanaka clan had mastered the art of mind-reading. Even dead people, let alone living people, could view past memories as long as their brains were still active.
It's just that this person seemed to be a little too upright, and actually recorded everything the Sandaime Raikage said.
Including the sentence: "A group of stinky rats in the sewer are worthy of me. Even if they are hiding here, they don't have the right to talk to me unless they kneel down." It was also written completely, word for word.
Go up.
This made Danzo feel evil in his heart.
But the Yamanaka Koichi in front of him kept an expressionless look, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction speechlessly.
However.
The content that followed made Danzo unable to help but look angry, and the hand holding the notebook made an ear-piercing sound due to the exertion.
"What a rat, how dare you pretend to be a Konoha ninja and my root!"
It has always been their roots who pretended to be ninjas from other countries to cause trouble, and now someone actually used this trick on their roots.
It's so shameless, so unreasonable, it's too much!
This black pot really fell from the sky.
I believe that it won't be long before rumors begin to spread in the ninja world that the root ninjas of Konoha not only controlled Loulan in the Kingdom of Wind, but also the unknown strongman defeated Kumogakure's troops and even captured the Sandaime Raikage alive.
When the time comes, Cloud Hidden Village will definitely attack their Konoha Village, and the surrounding ninja villages from other major countries will also send more spies to investigate.
But the problem is that they didn’t do this!
certainly.
Deep down in Danzo's heart, he hoped that the strong man who captured the Sandaime Raikage alive was really a person close to him, preferably a strong man who was completely under his control...
The ability to control sand alone was enough to imprison three thousand Cloud Hidden Ninjas in the sand, unable to move, including many jounin.
This strength is definitely stronger than that of the Sandaime Kazekage, who is said to be the strongest in history.
Others may not have seen it, but Danzo participated in the Second Ninja War ten years ago and witnessed with his own eyes the scene when the Sandaime Kazekage took action.
"Thunder Chakra is ineffective against the sand he controls?"
Danzo narrowed his eyes in surprise. He felt that this information was very crucial because it violated the basic relationship between the properties of chakra.
Then he was thinking, is water escape useful for this kind of sand control technique?
Although in theory, the sand control technique as an earth escape should be able to restrain water escape.
But he vaguely remembered that his teacher, the second generation Hokage, once mentioned that his water escape could break the sand control technique.
There's just a problem here.
That is, if the battle location is within the Kingdom of Wind, then except for a very small number of water escape experts, it will be difficult to use water escape in the dry desert.
So when Thunder Escape is ineffective, how can we target this unknown strong man who is too tall?
Danzo thought about this problem habitually.
Because he believed that this person would definitely pose a threat to Konoha Village. If this person was still a strong man in Sunagakure Village, the threat would be even greater.
Although Sunagakure Village has always been the weakest among the five great ninja villages, no matter how weak it is, it is still one of the five great ninja villages, and it is enough to easily crush other small country ninja villages in the ninja world.
Not to mention, according to previous intelligence, there was a Rasa who could repel the Sandaime Raikage in Sunagakure Village.
"Is Sand Hidden Village about to rise?"
Danzo felt heavy and felt that he should tell that guy Sarutobi about this matter as soon as possible. As a high-level executive of Konoha Village, he was very aware of the impact of this kind of genius.
After all, Konoha Village has the most geniuses. Of course, it is also because of this that they are not cherished very much.
"It's best to find a way to solve it as soon as possible..."
Thinking of this, Danzo turned around and left the dark cell with a cold murderous intention.
As for the three Kumogakure ninjas who will not be killed for the time being, Orochimaru needs a lot of experimental materials recently, and he doesn't know when the research results will be produced.
The cells of the first Hokage make people look forward to it every time they think about it.
"I hope I can see the power of Mu Dun soon..."
Danzo's muttering to himself sounded in the empty underground base, and then he was swallowed up in darkness again.
at the same time.
Just as Danzo thought, with the appearance of a large number of fleeing Kumogakure ninjas, what happened in the Kingdom of Wind gradually became known to all countries.
Especially Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water and Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth.
Their ANBU also more or less captured some Kumogakure ninjas.
It's just that because there are no ninjas like the Yamanaka clan who are useful in intelligence detection, the interrogation method and process are much rougher and bloody.
But you still know everything you need to know.
For example, the group of black-clad ninjas who occupied Loulan claimed to be the root ninjas of Konoha Village.
If this is true, then it means that the sand-controlling strongman who captured the Sandaime Raikage alive is also from Konoha?
This made Konoha Village suddenly become the focus of the ninja world.
certainly.
There are also people who doubt the authenticity, that is, how could the Sound Release ninja named Uku Tengen reveal himself to be the root ninja of Konoha?
But this doubt disappeared with more detailed information.
Because what is said here is very clear, he was pretending to be a ninja from the Sea Ninja Village at the beginning, even the clothes and forehead protectors were ready.
The identities of Konoha ninjas and root ninjas were all faked by the Sandaime Raikage himself.
besides.
Regarding the group of 'sea ninjas' who are extremely good at rigid fist type physical arts and phantom sword techniques, they can even generally suppress Kumogakure ninjas who are already good at physical techniques and sword techniques.
In addition, each of them has a crow ninja beast, many of them are good at archery, and they have some kind of small explosive pellets and long-handled repeating firearms. Information has also been gradually learned by senior officials from various countries.
"Except for archery, no matter how you look at it, everything else seems to be in line with Konoha's current characteristics..."
Inside the Tsuchikage office in Iwagakure Village.
Onoki, who is not yet 60 years old this year, is wearing a red shawl and is reading the interrogation information sent by his son, Huang Tu. He touches his chin and says thoughtfully.
Gangquan, illusion, swordsmanship, crow ninjutsu, and advanced weapon technology...
"But what about Sound Release and Sand Control Technique? Also, as mentioned above, the opponent's ninja has no chakra aura and has never used conventional ninjutsu?"
The honest and sturdy Huangtou shook his head and said: "It's quite strange, but I'm very curious about the fact that the man is three meters tall. How tall is he? It would be great if I could see it with my own eyes."
At 2.17 meters tall, he always felt that he was a tall man in the ninja world.
But Onoki was a little angry when he heard this.
"Humph, what's the use of growing taller? It just makes the attack area larger!"
