Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

That night, the entire ninja world saw the light rising in the sky and felt the roar of the earth.

But no one knows what exactly happened except the Sand Village.

It was not until three days later that news of the battle that took place in the Sand Village that night reached the ears of the leaders of the major ninja villages.

The land of fire, Konoha.

In the Hokage's office.

At this moment, the atmosphere was very depressing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, sat on his Hokage seat, smoking his pipe and puffing out clouds of smoke.

On both sides of him, the Hokage's advisors: Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Shimura Danzo had gloomy expressions.

Then there are the leaders of the younger generation of Konoha: Minato Namikaze and his teacher Jiraiya, Orochimaru and the patriarchs of the major families, including the Uchiha clan, Hyuga clan, Akimichi clan, Nara clan, Yamanaka clan, Aburame clan, Inuzuka clan, and so on.

It can be said that all the high-level officials of Konoha have come here.

Among these people, except Orochimaru who showed some interest, everyone else had a serious expression.

After an unknown amount of time, Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his pipe, cleared his throat, and spoke slowly.

"You should have all seen the information about what happened in the Sand Village three days ago. What do you think?"

Everyone present looked at each other.

Shimura Danzo spoke first, not because he couldn't hold back his anger, but because he really couldn't help it.

"It seems that my original speculation was correct. This Kazekage of the Sand Village has the ability to seize other people's bloodline limits."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, and the Third Hokage asked with a frown.

"Are you saying that the Wood Release performed by the Fourth Kazekage was not the one that cracked the cells of the First Daeme-sama that was taken from you?"

It is no secret that the Fourth Kazekage displayed the power of Wood Release of the First Hokage in the battle with the tailed beasts, especially the Woodman Jutsu and Wood Dragon Jutsu, which were powerful enough to control the tailed beasts. This shows that the Kazekage of the Sand Village has acquired Wood Release that is comparable to the First Hokage.

"Well, both the Anbu and the Root have long had intelligence about the Fourth Kazekage. Although he may have concealed his own strength, one thing is certain, that is, before he succeeded to become the Kazekage, he was definitely not that strong. It was not until the Fourth Kazekage became the Kazekage that he attacked the dragon veins of Loulan and the monsters of the Land of Demons."

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Danzo gave the decisive evidence.

"Of course, we know very little about the dragon veins of Loulan and the monsters of the Ghost Kingdom. It was not enough for me to make such a judgment until I discovered two things."

"First, that is the sand control technique and magnetic seal style possessed by the Kazekage of the Sand Village. Although that is the power obtained by the Second Kazekage of the Sand Village after studying Shukaku's chakra, according to repeated confirmation by our intelligence personnel in the Sand Village, there is only one person alive in the Sand Village who possesses the power of Shukaku, and that is the wife of the Fourth Kazekage. The Fourth Kazekage did not participate in any of the Second Kazekage's research on Shukaku's chakra."

Everyone immediately understood what Danzo meant.

"As for the second thing..."

Danzo said this with a very gloomy expression.

"That was when this Kazekage took my arm away. I saw with my Sharingan that this Fourth Kazekage could actually absorb and suppress the chakra in the cells of the First-Daime-sama."

Danzo didn't say anything else, but everyone present understood what Danzo meant.

The power of the Shodaime's cells was known to most of the people present. The top leaders of Konoha tried countless times to break the power of the Shodaime's Wood Release, but to no avail. Instead, the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village obtained it. So, the answer was obvious.

At this moment, Utane Koharu beside her suddenly frowned and asked with great dissatisfaction.

"Danzo, why didn't you tell the village about this earlier? Do you have any selfish motives?"

As a comrade from the same class, a disciple of the Second Hokage, an elder of Konoha, and as a woman, Utane Koharu is not afraid of Danzo at all.

"Humph!"

Danzo snorted coldly.

"I wasn't sure at that time. After all, the Kazekage hadn't yet demonstrated the power of Wood Release, but it's different now."

"So what do you think we should do now?"

Danzo said in a decisive tone.

"Of course, we will spread the news and unite with other ninja villages to attack the Sand Village. You should all understand the harm this ability will bring to the entire ninja world. Who knows if he will attack our Konoha in order to obtain other powers?"

Having said that, Danzo looked towards the heads of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

Sure enough, even Uchiha Fugaku, who was at odds with Danzo, had such concerns at this moment.

After all, the Uchiha clan's Sharingan is the most powerful bloodline limit in the entire ninja world.

But at this moment, Minato, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

“I think everyone may have overlooked a problem!”

"What's the problem? Minato?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

Looking at everyone, Minato Namikaze slowly expressed his thoughts.

"Even if our four villages join forces, can we defeat the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village?"

The whole audience was in an uproar when these words were spoken, and Danzo spoke directly sarcastically.

"Minato, this is not the place to talk nonsense. Did the Sand Village scare you silly? How could you say such a thing? Do you think the Sand Village has the power to resist the combined strength of our four major ninja villages with the strength of one village? Stop kidding me."

Minato said without changing his expression.

"Master Danzo, you may not have heard me clearly. I was talking about defeating the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village!"

"!!!"

Looking at everyone's confused looks, Minato explained slowly.

"Everyone has seen the intelligence. Although I don't want to admit it, the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village now has the same power as the First Kazekage who founded our Konoha Village: Hashirama Senju. He can subdue three tailed beasts by himself. With such power, in the current ninja world, including our Konoha, can Lord Danzo find someone to defeat him?"

Some people present already understood what Minato meant.

"Even if we can destroy the Sand Village, it will be useless if we cannot completely kill this Kazekage. Instead, it will bring us a terrible enemy, and one that we will never stop fighting until we die. So, do you think you have the confidence to kill him?"

"..."

Everyone present understood.

Indeed, with the power displayed by this Fengying now, if there is no guarantee of killing him completely, then not provoking him is the best option.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed, looked at Minato and said.

"Minato, if you were the Hokage, what would you do?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked!

Minato's pupils also shrank, but then he spoke with a firm look in his eyes.

"Report to Lord Hokage, the rise of Sand Village is unstoppable. Under such a trend, I believe that both Rock Village and Kumo Village do not want to fight anymore. Therefore, I will convene the Five Kage Conference in the name of the Hokage. It is time to end the war!!!"

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked thoughtful. After a long time, he slowly exhaled and spoke.

"Do what you want, Minato. I am old now. Next, I will report to the Daimyo and let you take over the position of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha..."
