Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.

At the base of the roots.

Although the Third Hokage had already dismissed Danzo and deprived him of his position as the leader of the Root, Danzo was still secretly commanding the Root at this time, but he chose to lie dormant.

Firstly, the losses in River Country last time were too great, and secondly, it was also to avoid provoking the Uchiha clan.

However, this does not mean that Tanzo did nothing.

In the dark room at the base of the roots.

Danzo, who had lost an arm and an eye, sat on his high seat, with three masked Root ninjas half-kneeling below him.

Danzo was seen holding the scroll in his left hand, scanning it with his one eye, then asking with a frown.

"When did the Sand Village become involved with the witch of the Demon Country?"

A Root ninja leading the group below immediately answered.

"Reporting to Master Danzo, according to the information received by our companions in the Land of Demons, the Kazekage of the Sand Village appeared in the Land of Demons three days ago, fought with the demon Wuliang of the Land of Demons, and killed Wuliang!"

"Wrath!?"

Danzo's left eye suddenly lit up.

"Is it the monster from myth and legend?"

"Hey!"

"Interesting, if I remember correctly, the small country of Loulan that has now joined the Sand Village also possesses this power called Dragon Vein Chakra."

"Yes, we sent people to investigate, and the city is now under the control of the people from the Sand Village."

Danzo's eyes brightened, he thought about it, and said without hesitation.

"Send this information over!"

"Hey!"

After seeing his subordinates leave, Danzo's face was gloomy. He covered his lost right arm with some anger, and then his expression returned to normal, and he slowly walked towards the deeper roots.

This is a huge laboratory, filled with the smell of disinfectant, with countless glass vessels and children floating inside. This is the secret laboratory of the Root, but it was not built by Danzo, but by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

However, this place now belongs to Danzo and Orochimaru.

When Danzo walked in here, Orochimaru was really studying something.

Danzo asked bluntly.

"So, Orochimaru, when can I get a new arm and eye?"

For a ninja, eyes are a small problem, but losing an arm still has a great impact on combat power. Danzo does not have the ability to form hand seals with one hand.

Orochimaru said without even turning his head.

"As for the arm, if Elder Danzo wants it, I can transplant it to you at any time. But if it is the cells of the first generation, I can't do anything without the Sharingan to suppress it."

Danzo did not force it. Although an ordinary arm could help him make up for his strength in magic, he was not leaving the village now. Moreover, his current disabled state could win him some sympathy from the villagers.

So, Danzo started talking about other things as if he was chatting about daily life.

"I heard that Jiraiya and Minato are going to take this opportunity to go to Myoboku Mountain to practice!"

After hearing this, Orochimaru smiled sinisterly.

"Hmm... he should be practicing immortal arts."

"Immortal arts... I have heard of them before. Ryuchi Cave is a sacred place like Myoboku Mountain. Doesn't it have its own immortal arts?"

Orochimaru of course knew that Danzo was trying to sow discord between him and that idiot Jiraiya, and he said it without caring at all.

"Ryuchi Cave certainly has its own magic, but unfortunately, the conditions for practicing magic are very harsh."

"Really? But in my opinion, Orochimaru, your talent in jutsu is much better than Jiraiya and Minato."

"Hehehe..."

Orochimaru showed a hint of disdain in the corner of his eyes, and chuckled, but did not answer.

Seeing this, Danzo said something that was already prepared.

"The Root just received news that the Shrine Maiden of the Demon Country will come to visit the Kazekage of the Sand Village in two days. The reason is that the Kazekage of the Sand Village helped the Demon Country to eliminate the monsters!"

Now Orochimaru also became interested.

"Wangliang... is it the terrifying monster that exists in the myths and legends of the Land of Demons?"

"Hmm! Dragon veins... monsters... this is definitely not a coincidence. Orochimaru, the Kazekage is very likely going for the power of these monsters. You have also seen the information about the green miracle of Sand Village in the past few months. Being able to change the natural environment of Sand Village is definitely not something that ordinary ninjas can achieve. It is very likely the power of Wood Release."

"Is there any solid evidence?"

“No, but I don’t need to.”

Danzo's left eye narrowed slightly.

"I have passed this information to the Hidden Rock Village, the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Hidden Mist Village through the Root. Now it seems that it is still useful. The Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village stopped attacking our Konoha, which means that suspicion has been formed. Next, we just have to watch the show. Even if the information that the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village can seize the bloodline limit is false, he is just an orphan of the Uzumaki clan. Both the Raikage and the Tsuchikage will not sit idly by. They are not the kind of people who will let others reap the benefits."

"Hehe, it looks like the ninja world is going to become interesting again..."

----------------------

The country of earth, the village of Iwagakure.

Earth Shadow Building.

Half a year has passed since the war between Iwagakure and Konoha.

Although ninjas were born for war, the half-year-long war still left the entire Iwagakure Village shrouded in fatigue and anxiety.

The ones who were tired were the ninjas who had participated in the war.

What is disturbing is that the war has continued to this day, and Iwagakure still cannot achieve a decisive victory.

I can only say that Konoha is worthy of being the largest ninja village in the ninja world. Its foundation is truly terrifying.

Facing the joint attack of the two major ninja villages, although Konoha's defense line was shrinking again and again, the two major ninja villages could feel Konoha's momentum of becoming more and more courageous, especially the overwhelming power displayed by the young man named Namikaze Minato.

Even Ōnoki felt palpitations.

What made Ohnoki even more uneasy was that while they were fighting Konoha, in another corner of the ninja world, the Sand Village, which was also one of the five major ninja villages, was developing rapidly with the help of the chaos in the outside world.

In fact, the speed of development exceeded Oonoki's expectations.

Especially after the recent waves of information about the Sand Village reached him, he felt even more shocked.

The cunning Ohnoki certainly knew where the information came from, but even if he knew he could do nothing about it.

Because this is Konoha's naked conspiracy.

"The cells of the first Hokage, the Sharingan, the orphans of the Uzumaki clan, the green miracle, Loulan, the kingdom of demons..."

All this is telling Ohnoki that the Sand Village is no longer the bottom of the five major ninja villages. Instead, it is like a dormant beast, growing in the dark, and when the time comes, it will devour everything outside.

When Ohnoki thought of the young man he had met in the Land of Birds, the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village, he became even more uneasy. He could tolerate the existence of Konoha, but would never allow the emergence of a second Konoha.

Thinking of this, he quickly made up his mind...
