Dancer of Konoha

In a dense forest somewhere in Konoha.

The wind is howling and the leaves are constantly swinging. If you look closely, the dense branches and leaves on the treetops are becoming more moist and shiny.

An old figure slowly walked out of the ground and appeared above the ground. Facing the dozen sand ninjas surrounding him, a trace of contempt appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth.

A breeze blew by, and a few wisps of leaves fell with the wind. Dozens of black shadows trampled on the sand ninja who fell in a pool of blood. There was silence all around.

The only sounds that vaguely reached here were the chaotic shouts and explosions in Konoha Village. Danzo Shimura looked up and saw streaks of smoke appearing in the center of the village.

Although he had expected the scene in front of him, seeing his village being so harmed with his own eyes made even a hard-hearted man feel a little angry.

"wind......

His chest slowly calmed down, Shimura Danzo asked coldly.

"How's it going?"

"Lord Danzo, according to the plan, under the leadership of Jiraiya and ANBU, the ninjas in the village have launched a counterattack, and the Suna Ninja and Sound Ninja are being gradually repelled."

Shanfeng half-knelt in front of Shimura Danzo and lowered his head respectfully.

There was no sound in the silent woods, and the birds and beasts that were usually seen everywhere disappeared one after another because of the fights that could be seen everywhere at this time.

Shimura Danzo looked calmly into the distance, with no expression on his face. He was silent for a long time and asked calmly.

"How is the Third Hokage doing?"

"Lord Hokage..."

Shanfeng hesitated briefly, then continued:

"He was rescued by Master Yanyan and was seriously injured..."

For some reason, Danzo Shimura breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news that Hiruzen Sarutobi was not dead, but the person who wanted him dead the most was obviously him. Moreover, he had already seen that Hiruzen Sarutobi had already had plans for today. Death wish.

For a long time, Danzo Shimura's eyes slowly closed, as if he understood something.

Yes, he wanted the Third Hokage to die, even if he died without a burial place, but he did not want Hiruzen Sarutobi to die, and he did not want his best friend to die sadly at the hands of his once most proud disciple.

Perhaps only he himself can understand the extremely contradictory feeling in this. However, Yan Yan's intervention was far beyond his expectation.

"My disciple, do you also think that I can't become Hokage..."

Danzo Shimura opened his somewhat cloudy eyes with an unclear expression.

"Forget it, it's almost time. Send out all the roots to hunt down and kill all the Sound Ninja and Sand Ninja hiding in the village. Leave no one behind!"

"Hi!"

"Repulse? That's ridiculous..."

Danzo Shimura looked at the village in the distance with a sneer, and remained silent for a long time...

Seeing the Third Hokage breathing smoothly as he was gently carried away by the medical team, Kakashi Hatake breathed a long sigh of relief. Being stabbed with a sword was better than being slashed with Yanyan's giant axe.

The Third Hokage was slashed by his own people and almost died of serious injuries. If such a thing happened, other ninja villages would probably laugh to death.

"whispering sound......"

Yanyan jumped from the roof and looked around unhappily. He turned back into a small ball and tightened the torn clothes around his waist.

"It's troublesome to have no time. I don't even have a change of clothes."

"Lord Yanyan!"

At this time, a special Jonin from the root training base appeared in front of him.

"Oh, you're here, there's nothing going on at home."

Long before the start of the Chunin Examination, Yan Yan sent all four special Jonin from the training base to the Changhe family. Although his grandfather Changhe had always had various methods and did not need his help, it was always good to have an extra insurance policy.

"Master Changhe and the others have nothing to do..."

"Ok?"

Yan Yan frowned as he looked at the root in front of him, who was hesitant to speak.

"What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Feeling the chill in Yan Yan's tone, the root ninja trembled all over and said quickly:

"The Changhe family was blown up by Miss Tiantian's mutual detonation talisman!"

"My home was blown up and gone!"

Yanyan gritted his teeth and stared at the sweaty Root Ninja in front of him. He really couldn't imagine how many detonating charms this stinky girl Tiantian had used!

"Yes...yes...but it also killed seventeen sand ninjas, including an elite jounin!"

"Huh...forget it..."

After thinking about it, Yanyan suddenly laughed again. The only person who could give Tiantian so many detonating charms was Grandma Qiqin, who was in charge of the family's finances. Maybe her grandparents wanted to change their house.

"Okay, let's go, let's go..."

"Hi!"

Seeing Yan Yan waved his hand impatiently, the root ninja quickly turned into a pile of fallen leaves and disappeared as if he had been granted amnesty.

Walking lazily to the base of the wall, Yan Yan pulled the Sand Ninja Jonin Maki out of the shadows like a puddle of mud.

When he was about to take him back to the root training base, Hatake Kakashi stopped Yanyan with a solemn expression.

"You can't take him away. This time Konoha and Suna Ninja are in war or peace, and Maki is the key figure."

"he?"

Yanyan shook his head with disdain, then stared fiercely at Ma Ji, who was covered in blood, and said:

"This time Konoha and Sand Ninja will fight or make peace, we have the final say!"

In Hatake Kakashi's astonished eyes, Yan Yan dragged Ma Ji up to the sky and gradually disappeared from sight.

It is unclear whether the "us" in Yanyan's mouth refers to the leaves or the roots.

But Hatake Kakashi deeply felt the flame in Yanyan's heart, called the flame of war...

"Oh, why do I have to worry about this..."

This time, even he felt that he was meddling in other people's own business. This kind of important matter should be left to the higher-ups in Konoha to handle...

"Gaara...Gaara...are you okay?"

"Gaara!"

In the darkness, the powerless Gaara heard a series of familiar voices ringing in his ears.

But what surprised him was that due to Shukaku's presence, his mind, which had always been extremely chaotic, now became clear.

Slowly opening his eyes, he saw two figures in his blurry vision. For some reason, the appearance of these two figures suddenly made him feel calmer. Such a feeling had never appeared before.

"Temari? Kankuro?"

A weak voice sounded, eliciting a cry of surprise.

"Wake up! Wake up!"

"How does it feel! Gaara!"

The vision gradually became clearer, and at this time, bursts of severe pain came from the weak body, but compared with the confusion of the mind and the mental pain in the past, it seemed to be nothing at all now.

"Here... where is it?"

"Listen to them, this is the root..."

Temari said with a heavy face, they are the children of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and have certain political resources, so Konoha will not harm them easily.

It's just Gaara's special nature that makes her a little worried about her...brother.

"There is no way, we are temporarily detained here..."

Kankuro whispered solemnly.

"Although you have been sealed by them, you should have a good rest. We will definitely have a chance to get out."

"Seal..."

Gaara stared blankly at the dim walls around him. Although he was imprisoned in the hands of the enemy, or even in a cell, he had never felt so comfortable before.

"Temari...Kankuro..."

An unconcealable sleepiness mixed with a feeling of powerlessness came to my heart. Gaara's eyelids closed uncontrollably, and he murmured in his mouth.

"sorry......"

The two siblings, Temari and Kankuro, were left looking at each other in confusion.

"Temari..."

Kankuro asked in disbelief.

"Did I just...hear something...?"

"yes......"

In this dim room, Temari, as the eldest sister, smiled strongly and gently.

A pair of plain hands gently touched Gaara's forehead.

This was the second time in more than ten years that she touched her brother's forehead. The first time was when Gaara was born...

"Our brother is saying thank you to us..."
