The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

after the war.

Kiyoshi collected Uchiha Madara's body, along with his weapons, the sickle and the flame fan.

This time, Kiyoshi could confirm that Uchiha Madara was really dead, so his body would be taken back to the Hidden Mist Village for research.

As for his weapons, they were to be taken as trophies of Qingsi and collected by him as a souvenir. After all, although Uchiha Madara was defeated by him, he was still a powerful warrior who once stood at the top of the ninja world!

After using earth escape to erase all traces of the battlefield, Qingsi returned directly to the Hidden Mist Village.

At this time, only two days had passed since the end of the Joint Chunin Exam.

However, within these two days, two people who had a great influence on the development of the ninja world died one after another. One was Uchiha Madara, who was hiding in the dark and planning the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" to bring "permanent" peace to the ninja world; the other was Danzo Shimura, a famous troublemaker in the ninja world, a good friend of the Hidden Mist Village, the assistant to the Hokage of Konoha and the first Nabekage, who was known as the "Darkness of Shinobi"!

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

While Uchiha Madara and Seiji were fighting for their lives, the reactions of the ninja world were completely different from last time.

Only the Sand Village, which was closest to the battlefield, sent out their Anbu to investigate after the Third Kazekage Tessa returned to the village and the terrifying chakra fluctuations from the battlefield completely subsided. However, they certainly did not obtain any useful information.

As for the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village, after their respective Kages returned to the villages, they did not pay too much attention to the extremely high-level war that broke out in the direction of the Wind Country. They only hastily sent a small number of Anbu to collect intelligence.

Because, their attention is now all focused on military preparations. After all, Konoha really let the cat out of the bag in this joint Chunin exam!

If they don't dare to take action against a Konoha that is much weaker than before, they would be unworthy of the title of Kage, and their ninja village would be disgraced to be one of the five major ninja villages...!

What they should pay more attention to at this moment is to obtain enough benefits for their respective ninja villages. And it just so happens that Konoha and the Land of Fire, whose strength is not as strong as before, are their perfect targets...!

As for Konoha, although it was not too far from the battlefield, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's attention was distracted by other things. Under the advice of the two advisory elders, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Hatchling, they put all their energy into investigating the Hyuga branches who had mysteriously disappeared in the village.

.........

.........

.........

After Hyuga Mukai and other branch families left, which was almost the same time when Danzo killed the Kirigakure people, the White Zetsu clones who remained in Konoha Village and used the "disguise technique" also left silently.

So, in the evening of that day, the Hyuga clan realized something was wrong. At first, the main families didn’t think the matter was that serious, but when they used the “bird in a cage” curse to try to locate these Hyuga branches but failed, and then wanted to remotely destroy the Byakugan of the Hyuga branches that had lost their traces, these main families who usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly finally realized that the matter was serious!!!

The "Bird in the Cage" curse has failed for the first time in a thousand years!!!

The panicked Hyuga clan members, after several attempts, finally confirmed the fact they were unwilling to believe. Therefore, they had no choice but to compromise even if they did not want the village to interfere in their clan's internal affairs.

Therefore, they hurriedly asked the clan leader Hyuga Ryuun to inform the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen about this matter.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was preparing to rest at home, immediately realized the seriousness of the matter after learning about this. He immediately summoned the two advisory elders, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Hatchling, and also sent the Anbu to the Root base to inform his good friend Shimura Danzo.

However, this notice caused trouble again!

Because Danzo led the Root out in full force, the Root base was empty at this time. Therefore, the Anbu ninja who went to inform Danzo naturally could not enter the Root base...!

Ok!

This is bad news!

When Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived with Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Hatchling and forced their way into the deserted Root base, he instantly realized that something was wrong. Knowing what kind of style his good buddy was, and thinking about the intelligence sent by the Perception Squad this afternoon, Sarutobi Hiruzen was so furious that he almost couldn't breathe and was directly angered to death by Danzo's outrageous actions!

So, on the one hand, he sent a large number of Anbu ninjas to search for the traces of the Hyuga branches in the Land of Fire. On the other hand, he personally put on armor and went to the battle site sensed by the Perception Squad...!

He is concerned about his good friend and wants to stop Danzo before he makes a big mistake!

However, these are just Sarutobi Hiruzen's extravagant hopes...!

When Sarutobi Hiruzen burst out at his fastest speed and caught up with the Anbu team he sent out to investigate the situation near dusk, and then rushed with them to the place that had turned into a rift, he of course found nothing. After all, the people of the Hidden Mist Village had cleaned up the battlefield and destroyed any traces of the battle that could leak intelligence.

The only thing left for Sarutobi Hiruzen was the terrain that had been completely changed by the battle and the chaotic chakra aura that had not yet completely dissipated.

In the end, he could only come to the conclusion that a battle involving at least a hundred people had broken out here, and he judged that there were at least two or more strong men among them, and the collision of the battle changed the terrain here!

As for his good friend whose whereabouts he could not find, he could only let him go for the time being and send Anbu ninjas to look for him later. After all, he was the Hokage of Konoha Village and could not leave the village for a long time!

However, he already had a vague feeling about Danzo's whereabouts. Although he had guessed that Danzo and his Root had met with an accident, as a good friend, he still held a faint hope deep in his heart!

I hope that Danzo can suddenly return to Konoha one day in the future...!

As for the traces of the Hyuga branches, let alone the traces of White Zetsu's "Evenfly Technique", how could these ordinary Anbu ninjas be able to discover it?

Therefore, Konoha and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen are destined to gain nothing...!
