Because he deeply hated Yu Yunren for daring to covet the Byakugan blood heir of their Hyuga clan, and even take action against his only biological daughter, Hizu was extremely angry. That is to say, he recognized Rito's identity, and his reason suppressed his heart.
In spite of the anger above, Rizu showed some mercy and did not really want to put Rito to death.
But still with the intention of teaching this Yunyin a lesson, he used the soft fist palm technique thoroughly, only to avoid some key points, and the calculated intention was to stop severely injuring this Yunyin.
To the extent that Murakami Ninja can breathe a sigh of relief for himself, he can also save his life. The peace negotiation between his own Ninja Village and Kumogakure Village has reached the last moment.
Rizu didn't dare to kill the deputy leader of the Yunyin Village mission privately.
But plans can never keep up with changes.
Hizu was determined to save the life of this Kumo ninja, but Rito, who knew that the mission had completely failed, no longer had the desire to live. Originally, their plans had two sets of arrangements, but the first set of plans completely failed.
in the case of.
"!"
Determination was reflected in the pupils of Laidou.
The last burst of chakra.
Deliberately deflecting the direction, he aimed directly at the young figure of Hinata Hinata lying on the ground, looking like he was about to kill him.
"What!?"
It made Rizu on the side feel shocked.
The figure that turned around subconsciously.
"boom!"
I couldn't control the intensity this time.
"Wow!?"
There is no doubt that it hit the vital point. After Rizu's blow to Rito, who was already seriously injured, blood spurted out from his mouth.
It splashed everywhere and touched Rizu's white sleeves.
Subsequently, the body that fell limply on the surface gradually lost its temperature. At that moment, Hizu suddenly woke up and stared blankly at the corpse of the Kumo ninja, which had begun to become somewhat stiff and cold.
Rizu's expression also became extremely ugly at this moment.
'Oh!'
And Shoji, who was hiding in the shadows not long after he arrived, couldn't help but cheer a little in his heart. He had already made a decision just now. If Hizu really didn't kill this Kumo ninja, he would even capture him alive.
If he kills someone, he will personally 'help' Nizu kill this Kumo ninja. Only in this way will Konoha and Kumogakure conflict, and their Iwagakure village can benefit from this. As for being discovered by others, etc.
of.
Haha, so what?
This is not important at all. What is important is the fact that the deputy leader of the Cloud Ninja Mission is dead. When he saw that Rito had really died in the hands of Hizu, Shoji nodded with satisfaction and said
When you want to leave directly.
"who!?"
Rizu, who had been 'immersed' in the death of Rito before and was in a very bad mood, seemed to be vaguely aware of it at this moment. The sight that was flowing around him could be clearly captured with his extreme Byakugan insight.
A trace.
'It is indeed the most insightful eye technique in the ninja world!'
Shoji raised his eyebrows slightly. After realizing that his figure had been exposed, Shoji no longer hid, and a powerful chakra wave burst out.
"boom!"
While running.
When Rizu caught Shoji's figure that day, he only saw a dark and blurry back. The trace disappeared quickly and disappeared into the thick night. In less than a second or two, he was completely gone.
Disappeared beyond the range of Rizu's perception.
"Who is this!?"
Rang Rizu also looked horrified and angry at this moment.
Shoji, who had already left quickly, had no intention of caring about the changes in Hiashi's mood behind him. As mentioned before, in Shoji's view, the Hyuga clan was just the most important and most important person to provoke further conflicts between Konoha and Kumogakure.
Effective chess pieces have no other use than that. Unless they can show value that will impress the general, the contact with the Hyuga clan will only go so far.
A ninja who is accustomed to kneeling is not worthy of Shoji paying too much attention.
He now only plans to have a good talk with the people from the Yunyin Village Mission. Of course, not now, at least until they get the news. Otherwise, it will appear that his side's purpose is too clear.
'This time, I must let you feel the anger of our Uchiha clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura!'
Looking up at the bright moon above the starry sky.
The general's black and white pupils also revealed a faint and cold color at this moment, and he murmured in a low voice.
There is a sequence of ‘surprises’.
It was only when Hinata and Hizu couldn't control themselves that they 'accidentally' killed the deputy leader of Kumoyin Village, the Jonin, and before he thought about how to report it to the village, the Third Hokage had already learned of the other information in advance.
A 'surprise' news!
Even though all the people at the root left the village quietly, but unlike Aburame Ryoma's eight-man team before, this time it was a large force of nearly two hundred people. With such a large scale, it was impossible to hide it.
, if we didn’t know the actions of the root, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, would have been in vain, or it can be said that he is a 100% puppet type character.
It can be said that when Hiruzen Sarutobi learned that a large number of people from the Roots had left the village without permission, and most likely headed towards the location where the Iwagakure Mission had left, Hiruzen Sarutobi showed a look of shock and anger in an instant.
I really didn’t expect that Danzo would do something like this again!
This is no longer just a matter of killing first and showing off later.
Instead, he completely ignored him as a Hokage, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel extremely angry. Putting aside Sarutobi Hiruzen, he didn't even think that only one or two hundred people with roots could retain the Uchiha General.
Even if a miracle happened, Danzo's plan succeeded.
Sarutobi Hiruzen could also fully guess how bad the situation would become next. Konoha finally paid a high price to end the war on the northeastern border, so that the village could truly enter a period of peace and restoration.
Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't want to see his ninja village go to war again.
This kind of never-ending war will cause Konoha to further decline, and there will never be hope of revival. To be honest, at this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen really wants to knock off his close friend.
Take a look at his head, what is he thinking inside!?
This is an emergency situation that requires prompt response
On the one hand, he sent his direct ANBU to rush there as quickly as possible, hoping to stop the situation before it got serious. On the other hand, he immediately summoned Danzo Shimura with the most severe order. With the last ten thousandth hope, he wanted to get rid of the situation from the group.
Zangna directly learned what mission he was sending out so many root members to perform!
Danzo was also mentally prepared for his actions to be discovered from the beginning. He knew very well that it was impossible for so many people with roots to leave the village to hide it from Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, but he simply did not
Care, what he wants to fight is such a time difference and psychological difference. As long as he takes action quickly enough and makes it a fait accompli, everything that follows will definitely develop according to his wishes.
Danzo knew the character of his best friend very well.
Therefore, after hearing the obviously "angry" order from Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo just smiled sullenly and didn't care at all. Shi Shiran was going to go directly to the Hokage's office to start the next plan at his own pace.
International.
"Um!?"
A embarrassed figure broke into Danzo's eyes.
"What did you say!?"
This figure is one of the root members who was previously sent by Danzo to ambush Shoji and his party. He is also the only remaining root member who was ordered by the leader to return and report the corresponding intelligence information to Danzo. It can be said that in
From this subordinate, he learned that almost all the elites he sent out were killed by Uchiha Shoji alone.
The expression of this Konoha no Yami also became extremely distorted at this moment.
He couldn't believe that there would be such a huge flaw in what he thought was a sure-fire plan. The two hundred or so weakest among them were all elite chuunin, and there were a full elite force of forty or fifty jounin. Not only were they...
The general was killed by one person, and only one person survived. What's more important is that he didn't even force out his full strength.
'You didn't even use the Mangekyō Sharingan?'
at this moment.
Danzo was the one who truly realized what a stupid mistake he had made. Of course, he did not feel that his action of ambushing General Uchiha was wrong, but that he had underestimated General Uchiha's strength.
mistake.
He could even guess that the reason why one of his subordinates could return smoothly was mainly due to the Uchiha General's demonstration against him. Otherwise, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the ordinary Magatama Sharingan mode.
After slaughtering these subordinates of his, once the Mangekyō Sharingan is activated, will one of his subordinates be able to retreat smoothly?
This was a completely unexpected development for Danzo. This huge psychological gap made the expression of the Dark of Konoha become extremely ferocious and terrifying at this moment.
"Haha, General Uchiha, I really underestimated you. It's okay. I can only make two mistakes at most. The third time, I will definitely not make the same mistake again next time. By that time, I will let you and the Uchiha clan
Feel what real hell is!"
Danzo's exposed pupils also showed an extremely ferocious look. At this moment, Danzo still didn't feel that there was any mistake in his actions. The only mistake was that he misjudged General Uchiha's strength.
Just strength.
It's not that Danzo can't see the possible consequences of this, but he's as conceited as he is. He really doesn't think this will be a problem. They, Konoha, are the largest ninja village in the ninja world, and they are the most powerful ninja village in the world.
Ninja Village, the existence that has won three great ninja wars, has only weakened a little. It may be difficult to fight two against one. Is there still a problem with one against one?
Even if Iwagakure Village launches an attack, since his own Ninja Village has already made peace with Kumogakure Village, Danzo doesn't think this is a big deal and he won't be worried about it at all.
So, while he was walking towards the Hokage's office, he was still thinking about how to gather talents in the village again. The failure of this plan was a heavy blow to the roots of his subordinates. He had to find a way.
Continue to search for some talents, otherwise his root will become an empty shell. As one of the important means to realize his ambition, Danzo attaches great importance to the construction of the root.
He is not worried at all that Sarutobi Hiruzen will stop him, and is even further considering that even if his plan fails, it can also trigger a conflict between his own Ninja Village and Iwagakure Village. Last year, due to various reasons, Konoha was unable to go further.
Pursuing the Uchiha clan and failing to hold the Iwagakure to account was Danzo's biggest regret. Now is an excellent opportunity. Danzo really feels it's time to restart the fight against the Uchiha clan a year and a half ago.
It’s a pursuit!
It has to be said that the bottomless connivance of the Third Hokage is the biggest reason why Danzo has reached such a level of unscrupulousness step by step. Whenever Danzo made any 'cross-border move' in the past.
If Hiruzen blatantly eliminated the roots, and even removed all of Danzo's duties and authority, Konoha might not reach this point.
It can only be said that as Konoha's 'crouching dragon and phoenix', the two of them are truly 'indispensable'.
Walking lightly to the Hokage's office building, he still looked calm and at ease.
When I saw Danzo in such a demeanor.
The anger in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart was rising uncontrollably.
"Danzo! Do you still have me as the Hokage in your eyes? Don't you know how hard-won peace is for us in Konoha!? Tell me, what happened to the nearly two hundred root people you sent out?
What mission are you going to perform!?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stood up from his position, with a sharp expression, looked at Shimura Danzo who stepped in from the door, and said sternly.
"Oh, Hiruzen, why do you need to ask these things that you already know well?"
Danzo Shi Shiran came to sit on the sofa and said in a calm tone.
The remaining ten thousandth hope was shattered.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face showed an ashen color.
"Immediately send someone to call back the person you sent out, Danzo. I'm not joking with you. This is the Hokage's order!"
"Hokage's order? Hiruzen, you are the Hokage of Konoha. This is true, but don't forget that I am the darkness of Konoha. It is my responsibility to eliminate all enemies that are harmful to Konoha. This is even more important.
The original intention of establishing the Root! I didn’t do anything wrong, and it’s too late to say this now.”
Danzo turned around and looked directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was sitting on the throne. When he finished his slightly low words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was startled at first, and then changed wildly, with a hint of faintness.
The dangerous look said: "What did you say? Danzo? Is it?"
"Hmph, it's not what you think, but the mission failed. All the roots I sent out were killed, and only one survived. And there was a high probability that the opponent deliberately put him back. Hiruzen, this is a provocation, this is a threat,
This is Chiguoguo's declaration of war. I think we should take corresponding measures immediately to deal with the Uchiha clan. We have reached the point where it is urgent to deal with it. An Uchiha general can do this. Don't forget the Uchiha clan.
There are Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Fugaku and two other pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan in the clan. If we continue to wait, our Konoha will definitely face a crisis of complete destruction in the future!"
Danzo snorted coldly, and then with a very stern expression, he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the upper position and his expression became more and more solemn as Danzo spoke, and said this.
"What do you mean? All the people you sent out were killed by Uchiha Shoji alone?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who deliberately ignored the second half of Danzo's sentence, also directly grasped the key content of the first half of the sentence. Through the information fed back by ANBU, Sarutobi Hiruzen roughly understood the root of Danzo's dispatch.
There are nearly two hundred members.
All of these are elite forces comparable to those of the Anbu directly under his own control.
If Shoji single-handedly broke through the siege of these root people and defeated them. After most of them were killed or injured, a large number of them would still retreat. If this was what Hiruzen Sarutobi had first expected, then Shimura Danzo
What he said was that it greatly exceeded the Third Hokage's prediction of Uchiha Shoji's strength.
"That's right, and he hasn't used the Mangekyō Sharingan yet. Hiruzen, you should understand what this means!"
Danzo could also pre-read that his best friend, the Hokage, had obviously deliberately ignored the meaning of the most important second half of his sentence. He frowned slightly at that moment, and went one step further to promote Uchiha Shoji and even Uchiha.
The 'threat theory' of the Bo clan as a whole!
"What are you talking about? You didn't even use the Mangekyō Sharingan!?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally showed a touch of emotion at this moment.
The war between ninja villages can never be a one-person stage. Since the death of the first generation of his family and the terrible Uchiha Madara, this is one of the most firm opinions deep in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.
Even someone as powerful as the Third Raikage would still die in Iwagakure Village's high-quality human wave tactics.
It shows that in the war between the five major ninja villages, no matter how strong a person is, his power is still limited after all. This is also Sarutobi Hiruzen's view of the Uchiha clan. He is very afraid of the Uchiha clan's Mangekyo, but he does not
You really think that the Iwagakure Village with the Uchiha clan joining them will definitely threaten the survival of Konoha, let alone the Uchiha clan alone. In the battle of Konoha's secession a year and a half ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen
He also clearly saw the terrifying power of Uchiha Shoji and Uchiha Fugaku, and he admitted that the two of them were very strong.
But at most it's at the same intensity level as him.
But now Danzo's words are clearly declaring that the Uchiha general has made another 'qualitative' leap. He can massacre only two hundred elites without the Mangekyo Sharingan, which is enough to prove that this Uchiha general has made a 'qualitative' leap.
The horror of the evil boy.
But even so, Sarutobi Hiruzen does not intend to change his determination. At most, he will slightly adjust his response goals in the future, because no matter how strong he is, in the eyes of the Third Hokage, he will at most be as good as the Third Raikage.
It's not enough for the Third Hokage to really change his governing philosophy.
Because this is not like before, we only need to deal with one Uchiha group, but we have to face the fifteen or six thousand Iwa ninjas of Iwagakure Village, and Ohnoki, who is at least not weaker than himself, and the two Tailed Beast Jinchūriki.
of huge power.
Sarutobi Hiruzen can still carry it clearly.
"Therefore, we must take action against the Uchiha clan immediately. Hiruzen, while Uchiha General has not left the realm of Fire Country, immediately notify the border guards and various strongholds to conduct a comprehensive search of Uchiha General and his party, as well as the village.
Immediately organize elite troops to encircle and suppress, and be sure to completely keep General Uchiha in the Land of Fire! This will not only eliminate a huge scourge for our village in advance, but also provide an opportunity to study the secrets of the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is unprecedented.
What a great opportunity, Hiruzen!"
Danzo seemed to be able to sense Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts deep in his heart, as his tone seemed to have become very urgent.
He looked at his dear friend in front of him with burning eyes.
You have to say that although Danzo did make many mistakes, but on these matters, his judgment was correct. The current general is indeed at the level of 'mortal', not to mention Senju.
Hashirama and Uchiha Madara (Eternal Eye Mode) are at the same level, and they are still a little less interesting than the Third Raikage.
It is true that Konoha can be ruthless, and it can be suppressed without paying a heavy price. The premise is that Sarutobi Hiruzen can really make such a determination, even in Jiraiya, Tsunade is not in the village.
Under the circumstances, he had to be prepared to take action. Obviously, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not have such courage.
Or to be more precise.
He didn't think this was a rational judgment.
The consequences of this action were that the Third Tsuchikage brazenly started a wood and rock war. Just the price of killing General Uchiha was not something that the Third Hokage could bear.
Two hundred root elites were not even able to force out General Uchiha's Mangekyō.
Judging from this basis, if he did not take action, he would have to send at least three to four thousand Konoha elites to besiege, and he would have to be prepared in advance to kill at least half of them in order to be able to successfully suppress it.
he.
This price is not something Konoha can bear now.
As for the option of going out to capture General Uchiha himself, the Third Hokage would not even think about it.
These are options that you don’t need to hesitate about.
Just a few seconds later.
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head heavily: "Duanzo, put away your dangerous thoughts. What Konoha needs now is stability and tranquility, not war. This time the matter ends here, and everything will be dealt with later.
Let me handle it, you are absolutely not allowed to act without permission, just stay in the Hokage building for this period of time, and I will let Yan handle it from beginning to end, so don't interfere anymore!"
He messed up again and again, and crossed the line again and again.
Shimura Danzo, who was many times more excessive than in the original work, this time really made Sarutobi Hiruzen not want to stop at verbal punishment.
