Naruto Puppet Master

"I will obey the Hokage-sama's order. We will definitely work together and live up to the expectations of the Hokage-sama." Faced with the sincere request of the Third Hokage, all the ninjas present felt at a loss and felt moved by being taken seriously. It is also slowly filling everyone's hearts.

Not to mention the civilian ninjas who were already inexplicably excited, even the family ninjas had few who could stand the request of the Third Hokage. After all, they all grew up in Konoha, and the ninja code they learned since childhood was to be loyal to the village and to the Hokage. , without harming the interests of their own families, they are all good ninjas who can die for Konoha.

"Okay, I look forward to your efforts." The Third Hokage Sarutobi Sasuke smiled happily: "Then our meeting will end here today. Everyone should go back and think about it carefully, and also supervise and supervise the companions and subordinates around us. We are about to face The enemy is very powerful, but the opportunity is rare now, so we have to work hard to fight, so I hope everyone is prepared in advance."

"I'll understand." Everyone said in unison:

Da da da da da???????????????

After signaling Orochimaru and several other senior officials to stay, the Third Hokage asked the remaining jounin to return to their team.

"Sakumo, please tell me the latest information from the Kingdom of Water first!" The Third Hokage looked at the people left behind and named Anbu Hatake Sakumo:

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"According to the latest information from the ANBU chess piece from the Land of Thunder, the ninja army of the Hidden Thunder Village has resumed a stalemate with the troops of the Sand Ninja Village in the Kingdom of Water. Since the third generation of Raikage stopped showing up, the Thunder Ninja The fighting between the small army of sand ninjas almost never stops for a day."

"There are two pieces of information that require attention. One is that one of our senior spies discovered that the Third Raikage may have been seriously injured, but he did not directly prove it. This is just his own judgment."

"The other is that the Thunder Ninja has been collecting the martial arts secrets of the Sand Ninja to cultivate slave legions since the beginning of the war. Although the intensity was strong at the beginning, the effect was not great. But since Adai, the candidate of the Fourth Raikage, has been commanding the Thunder Ninja After that, the Thunder Ninja greatly increased their efforts in this area and even gave up other operational arrangements. As of now, our people are not sure whether they have obtained the secret technique of Sand Ninja Village." Hatake Sakumo He said succinctly along the way:

"What do you think?" The Third Hokage, who heard Hatake Sakumo's report, continued to ask:

"I think the first information is [-]% likely to be true. I trust Anzi's judgment. But now it's hard to judge the extent of Raikage's injuries."

"As for the second piece of information, I think we should also pay more attention to this aspect. The martial arts secrets used by sand ninjas to cultivate slave ninjas are too valuable. We can't just let the thunder ninjas get them." Hatake Sakumo said:

"Yes, I understand. Reply to Anzi and ask him to keep an eye on it. If he can get the secret technique of cultivating warriors in Sand Ninja Village from Thunder Ninja, then he will be the hero of the village, and the village will arrange for him to come back. ." The Third Hokage thought for a while and said:

"Yes." Hatake Sakumo responded:

"Next, Orochimaru, please tell me! There are some things that cannot be said just now, let's talk about them together now! It will also help us all have a clear understanding." The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru again and said:

"Yes, Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru licked his chin and said:

"What I just told you was just the general national strength of Sand Ninja Village. But you all know that in the war of ninjas, masters above the Kage level have the power to influence the entire war situation."

"There are a lot of Kage-level experts in Sand Ninja Village now. This is a key factor that affects the outcome of the war." Orochimaru said in a serious tone:

"How many can there be? Is it even more than our Konoha?" Jiraiya asked in disbelief:

&

nbsp;"There are quite a few. The Sand Ninja suffered heavy losses during World War II, but there are still four veteran Kage-levels, namely the Third Kazekage, Chiyo Elder, Ebizo and the first-generation One-Tail Jinchuuriki. Now the first The one-tail jinchūriki of the generation is dead, so there are only three veteran Kage-level experts, but the third generation Kazekage is not very old, and is still at the peak of ninjas and powerful. The other two are puppet masters. Their combat effectiveness directly depends on the puppets they control, so although they are not young, they will never be too weak."

"As for the younger generation of the Sand Ninja Village, the currently known Kage-level warriors include Jinsha, Scorpion, the Fourth Kazekage, the Burning Release Ninja Ye Cang, and the Warrior Shura. Five of them, plus three veteran Kage There are eight strong Kage-level warriors." Orochimaru lined up one by one and said, "This has already spread its reputation and let people know about it. Before this war, the reputations of Scorpion and Gold Sand in the ninja world were actually Not big, even that Shura has no information about him at all. Whether there is a master of snow hiding in Sand Ninja Village is not something we can know at the moment. "

"What's more important is that the strength of these known young masters is unexpectedly strong. We must treat them as the top of the shadow class. Otherwise, those who underestimate them will inevitably The defeat was in their hands." Orochimaru said with a hint of reminder:

"Orochimaru, you are the only one of us who has really come into contact with them. What are their abilities? How do you think their strength compares to ours." The Third Hokage took the lead and said before the impatient Jiraiya could speak:

"Sarutobi-sensei, with all due respect, if it were truly a fair fight, none of us except you and Sakumo-senpai would be able to compare with them." Orochimaru said bluntly:

"Among the people I have come into contact with, Jinsha is the one I have the most contact with. The ability he is good at is also magnetic escape, but unlike the third generation Kazekage who can control all metals, he can only control sand gold to fight, but even so, this is a kind of It’s a very powerful technique. At least in the past when we were one-on-one, I could only be sure of entangling him, but not very sure of defeating him. Of course, the chance of him beating me was also low.”

"Yes, I have seen the strength of the Third Kazekage. Magnetic Release is indeed an extremely comprehensive and powerful ninjutsu. Unless the opponent ninja is far stronger than the Magnetic Release Ninja in some aspects, the methods will be ever-changing. At the same time, the powerful magnetic release can meet all combat needs." The third Hokage thought of the style of the third Kazekage and said with certainty:

"When talking about puppet master Xie, Xie's strength comes from puppets. He is a genius in puppetry. If the puppet is strong, his strength will also be strong. And he pioneered the skill of human puppet a few years ago, which can destroy the enemy's The corpse is made into a human puppet, and this kind of human puppet can retain a large part of the chakra and ninjutsu abilities of the puppet during his lifetime, including part of the blood-stained ability."

"And the information coming from the Kingdom of Water clearly shows his current strength. The charge of thousands of puppets with a wave of his hand is not something that ordinary shadow-level people can face, not to mention that he also has a A human puppet team of several hundred people can form a puppet military formation and jointly launch legion ninjutsu attacks. It is also suspected that there is a white giant puppet with the power of a tailed beast."

"Once such a person uses his full strength, he will be comparable to a ninja army, and it is also an elite ninja army that is extremely powerful in both top and bottom levels."

"According to inside information, he is now stationed in Sand Ninja Village, so we must face him this time. But if we fight alone, I can still rely on my own ability to deal with it, but I have to lead the army to defeat him. Just kidding, how can you fight someone who carries an army of immortals with him?" Orochimaru said with a very calm face, admitting defeat.

"Since the front is not good, the only option is assassination. The puppet master's body is very fragile. As long as we assassinate him before he takes action, everything will no longer be a problem." Hatake Sakumo said:

"That's up to you, Sakumo." The Third Hokage Sarutobi Sasuke said in a serious tone:

"My subordinates will definitely complete the mission." Hatake Sakumo was as determined as ever. (To be continued.)
