Konoha's Destiny Twins

the next day. November 1, Konoha 43.

It's still dark and the rooster hasn't crowed yet.

Shimizu had already gotten up and went straight to the ANBU building to report.

After all, Orochimaru has passed the age of diligent cultivation and no longer guards him at the window.

Ha...middle-aged man.

But Qing Shui did go to do business, because this was a task he had arranged yesterday.

At dawn, his ANBU team had already been assembled.

Today he wants to inspect his men and get familiar with his teammates.

Qing Shui also discovered that the captain of Group 1 was really good material and had extremely strong ability to do things. The tasks assigned to him were completed flawlessly several times.

Except for the genin who disappeared from the world, it was really force majeure...

As for Orochimaru who was discovered to have been let go again a few hours later...

I hope he didn't wake up angry...

Qing Shui had already thought of his excuse: Captain of the secret service, busy with tasks.

It's not like he's the captain of the secret service, everything is reasonable.

So what if Orochimaru doesn't buy it? Do you really dare to do anything to him?

The killing intent that enveloped him last night was mostly a deterrent.

Moreover, the number of Anbu missions in Konoha has been too frequent in the past two days, and from time to time, Anbu can be seen entering and leaving the gate of Konoha.

The last time I remember a mission with this frequency... was on the eve of the Second Ninja War.

Because of war, intelligence is crucial.

.....................

Hokage's office.

"Do you think the person who stole the letter and the person who assassinated Minato are the same group?" The Sandaime Hokage frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Jiraiya was extremely convinced: "And it's probably the same person! The way they escaped in the end was exactly the same."

After Jiraiya's careful investigation, he came to the conclusion that the person who stole the letter that night and the person who attacked Minato were most likely the same person.

Both used the mysterious earth escape that came and went without a trace. Judging from Jiraiya's perspective, this was probably an advanced ninjutsu similar to the Blood Successor Limit.

If it is a family with such a limit of blood inheritance, it is impossible to be unknown in the ninja world.

So it is very possible that the other party is the same person!

"The Sandaime Kazekage disappeared and the gold was stolen...if these two things are added..." The Sandaime Hokage already had the most incredible guess in his mind.

"So there is a force that we don't know about that is deliberately provoking a war between Konoha and Sunagakure?"

Jiraiya replied: "This is the only explanation..."

Who on earth is it?

What's the purpose?

"What about the Yuyin Village? Are there any traces of this force's involvement?"

"If the other party's purpose is to cause war... they have already achieved their goal... so..." Jiraiya said this in a positive tone.

"Do you have evidence?" The Sandaime Hokage asked in surprise.

"...No. Did Danzo say anything?"

"He probably didn't know either... The loss of the root this time was too great, and he himself proposed the cutting of the root number... Losing Hanzo's support will not be good for him or Konoha."

Now that the Kingdom of Rain is under complete martial law, no useful information can be obtained at all.

It is obvious that a closed policy to the outside world has been implemented.

He actually chose to stay in seclusion at this time, what on earth was Hanzo thinking.

If a war breaks out between Sunagakure and Konoha, does he really think that his little Amegakure can stay out of it?

"...I see, then it looks like Danzo is also a victim."

Jilai is a bit unbelievable,

Can an old fox like Danzo suffer from being mute?

"...What did Sunagakure say?" But now Jiraiya is more concerned about this.

The Sandaime Hokage's series of new policies are aimed at war.

War, now the whole of Konoha knows about it, it is a certainty.

But when?

"They have detained the envoy I sent... The daimyo here ignored the negotiations... The ANBU has also detected that a large number of Sunagakure ninjas are gathering in the west of the border, and they should be preparing supplies now. .”

"Only the last fig leaf left..."

"So blatant? Do you plan to eat this part directly first?" Jiraiya asked.

"Wait a little longer, now we are waiting for the intelligence summary on the western and southern borders..."

"Is there any movement between Iwagakure and Kumogakure?"

"There are no relevant reports yet. However, I have sent people to increase border patrols."

After years of development, Sunagakure may have made great progress in strength, but compared with the two established powers, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, it is still far behind.

After all, the location of the Kingdom of Wind is too remote and its resources are very scarce.

Therefore, the Sandaime Hokage is more worried about whether Iwagakure and Kumogakure will also intervene in the conflict between Sunagakure and Konoha.

Because in this tense situation now, the two countries have not made any movement.

No one knows what their attitude is.

But they must be observing the direction to see if they can bite off a piece of meat.

This piece of meat can only be Konoha.

Because the Fire Nation occupies the most fertile land on this continent.

As for the Kirigakure Village, being far away from the mainland, their influence on Konoha is really limited.

Even with the previous two great ninja wars, the war between Kirigakure and Konoha had little impact.

Therefore, the Sandaime Hokage does not take the threat of Kirigakure into consideration too much now.

"Since that person or that force can drive a wedge between Konoha and Sunagakure, it will naturally allow both Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja to participate in this war. I just don't know what their purpose is?" Jiraiya He also pondered.

The Sandaime Hokage replied: "Who is the biggest beneficiary, then who is the real mastermind... I'm afraid we won't know until the war is over."

"Today's Konoha..." The Third Hokage suddenly stood up, walked to the window, looked out at the prosperous Konoha Village, and sighed, "This is what the First Hokage and the Second Hokage defeated. Your country cannot be lost to me."

"Old man, we are all here!" Jiraiya reminded that the Sandaime Hokage was not alone.

"Hahaha..." The Sandaime Hokage laughed heartily, "That's right, I still have you, the 'Konoha Sannin'!"

"How are the preparations going?"

"Everything goes well," Jiraiya replied.

Jiraiya was doing things, and the Sandaime Hokage was still very relieved.

"Then we will hold a Jonin meeting after the frontline information is transmitted back." The Sandaime Hokage made the final decision.

A jounin meeting is a high-end meeting that is usually only held when a major event occurs in the village.

Because this group of people are representatives of the elite power of the village.

In a sense, the jounin meeting is a war mobilization order.

"By the way, Shimizu reported yesterday that a genin was missing from the Chunin Exam. So far, no clues have been found."

"Is there such a thing?" Jiraiya asked in surprise, "Do you need my help?"

"As you say, I have a new mission for you... I have handed this matter over to the Anbu. It's a bit strange, but now there is no more manpower to thoroughly investigate this matter. Let's see what we can find out first. Get a clue."

After all, he is just a genin. Although the disappearance of a person is not a trivial matter, in the face of the war that Konoha is about to face, this kind of thing can be ignored.

However, it is rare that the Sandaime Hokage can still remember this incident from numerous reports.

Qingshui had just left the ANBU building, and in such a short space of time, he was caught by Orochimaru.

"Yi Yujun, you know why I came here."

"Senior Orochimaru, aren't you supposed to be helping the Sandaime Hokage recruit new sentient ninjas?" Qing Shui avoided answering.

"You are avoiding me on purpose." Orochimaru did not use a question, but said so firmly.

"Why would I hide from you, Orochimaru-senpai? I've been busy lately, and as you know, I've just become the ANBU captain, and I have a lot of things to worry about..." Qing Shui explained sincerely.

It dragged on and on until the war started.

"Yiyuejun, do you want to break the contract?"

"Huh? I've never thought of it that way."

Although it was only for a moment, Qing Shui still felt the trembling killing intent.

Orochimaru wants to take action? !

Dare to take action against him, the ANBU captain, in Konoha Village? !

He shouldn't be so crazy, right? !

"I think I understand what Yuzuki-kun means..." Orochimaru suddenly showed that sinister smile, and he said to himself, "I will come back to you after Yuzuki-kun completes your mission."

"……good."

I wonder what deeper meaning he understood?

Anyway, I sent it away again.

I am smart.

P.S. 1. Uncle Snake is laying the groundwork.

Two of the three major unstable factors have been eliminated (the Third Generation and Danzo respectively).

The environment is unstable, how can we develop with peace of mind?

right.

2. I saw someone (it seems to be the last number 8680?) giving out red envelopes today. What is this?

And I can't grab this red envelope, because I don't have a recommendation ticket and I can't grab it.

I vote for myself at midnight every day.

I once stupidly clicked on someone else’s book and voted.

Ouch......

It makes me feel bad.

3. If you say I am cool, keep it in mind.

Whip you.

4. Circle of Qidian APP. Naruto Circle, help.

5. At zero o'clock, if you don't come up with a round of fire, is there even the slightest chance that I can be ranked in the top ten of the 2D weekly recommendation list?

Try it, you won't get pregnant.

A lot of traffic...

Buzzing...

My saliva...
