Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Shūzé tilted his head, unknowingly taking over Jiraiya's negotiation rights.

"Right, Captain Jiraiya? Besides, we have clear evidence that Lord Tsuchikage would hire these people or organizations, so it's hard for us not to make associations."

"That's right, that's right!"

Jiraiya nodded quickly, already feeling a bit of a headache from the current situation. At least in his 'professional career,' he had never encountered such a situation.

Moreover, Shūzé's words were reasonable and well-founded, so he couldn't easily seize the initiative. After all, if he were to speak, it might not be as good as Shūzé.

"Lord Tsuchikage, we are only here to investigate and collect evidence. Why is Orochimaru here?"

"How would I know why he's here!"

Ōnoki felt very wronged. He didn't know what was going on, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Wait, who is discussing Orochimaru with you? It is your group of villains' evil deeds that should be punished!"

"But, we haven't done anything."

Shūzé spread his hands helplessly, appearing quite resigned.

"Moreover, I said that we are here under the leadership of Captain Jiraiya to investigate Orochimaru's situation. As for anything else, it has nothing to do with us."

"Then, tell me, what about Han?"

Ōnoki's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was preparing for battle.

"Also, wood release appeared near the Tsuchikage Building. How do you explain that!"

Wood release, this was the key that convinced him that these Konoha villains were responsible.

If he wasn't wary of the strength of these guys in front of him, he would have been too lazy to talk nonsense and would have attacked directly.

Now Ōnoki wanted to see what kind of sophistry these people could come up with, as for how to deal with it later...

That would naturally be done as it should be!

So many Iwa ninja had come, and anyone with a brain knew that the most important thing now was to evacuate the residents.

After all, Konoha's 'Nine-Tailed Fox Night' had reminded everyone, and almost all villages would make contingency plans for tailed beasts.

Although the current situation was worse than the tailed beast, there were some things that had to be done!

Of course, these people in front of him could still run, after all, they knew Flying Thunder God Technique.

If it was really necessary to avoid mass casualties, Ōnoki could make sacrifices.

"Wood release..."

Jiraiya's mouth twitched slightly. He really felt dark in his heart. The two people in Konoha who knew wood release were both here. What was there to explain!

"Wood release?"

Compared to Jiraiya's ugly face, Shūzé seemed much calmer. After pondering for a moment, he solemnly opened his mouth.

"It seems that that guy has also come. No wonder we didn't encounter him in the battle just now. It turns out he went to plot against us!"

"That guy?"

Ōnoki didn't know if Shūzé was playing tricks or if there was another hidden story. He just watched silently without speaking.

On the other hand, Shisui instantly understood Shūzé's meaning and immediately said.

"Shūzé, is it Uchiha Obito?"

Uchiha Obito?

Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Ōnoki was stunned for a moment.

Unfamiliar, naturally because there was insufficient intelligence on this guy, making it difficult to learn more information.

As for familiar...

The hero of Kannabi Bridge, the resurrected Uchiha ninja, a missing-nin comprehensively tracked by Konoha.

These messy pieces of information were superimposed, making it difficult not to be familiar with him.

Especially Konoha's intense wanted level, while also being somewhat vague, really made them very curious.

"It should be him, only he can do it."

Shūzé nodded seriously. This scene made Kakashi even more dumbfounded.

He glanced at Tenzo, who was standing aside as if nothing had happened, and then looked at Shisui, who was fully cooperating, and Yūgao, who was silent.

For a moment, his mind was also in a chaotic state.

They could even find Obito to take the blame?

"Kid, what tricks are you playing again?"

Ōnoki frowned as he looked at Shūzé. He didn't know what was going on, while Shūzé sighed.

"Lord Tsuchikage, this matter is Konoha's absolute secret. I'm very sorry, I have no right to overstep, but..."

As he spoke, Shūzé looked at Jiraiya, and Ōnoki's gaze also turned over.

"Jiraiya, you speak! If this matter is not explained clearly, I'm afraid we're not done!"

"Captain Jiraiya, next, we can only rely on you."

Shūzé added from the side, then adopted a fighting stance.

The wooden figure moved slightly, and instantly the earth seemed to be trembling. Shisui also immediately controlled the Five-Tails to turn its head, looking around with fierce eyes!

"..."

Jiraiya swallowed his saliva. He suddenly realized that the word he least wanted to hear now was 'Captain.'

Because once he became 'Captain,' it seemed to be the moment to take the blame, but now he had to take the blame again.

"The intelligence of Uchiha Obito is indeed the most important and helpless intelligence of Konoha at the moment."

Jiraiya sighed. He pondered for a moment and finally chose to speak, but he had completely lowered his voice.

"That guy doesn't know what's going on, he not only has the same eyes as Shisui, but also has the same ability as Shūzé!

Whether it is an ability similar to Flying Thunder God Technique, or the ability he is now using..."

Jiraiya had tried his best to say things vaguely, after all, such an important but equally important matter...

It's just that he himself knew that his statement was somewhat superfluous, because Ōnoki instantly understood.

"What nonsense are you spouting? An Uchiha who has been resurrected possesses the power of both Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, and even the power of Tobirama Senju?"

Ōnoki's expression was unpleasant, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Can you say something more reliable? Do you think I can believe such a thing?"

"I..."

Jiraiya opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Shūzawa interjected.

"Lord Third Tsuchikage, I know that Captain Jiraiya's words may be hard for you to believe, but I think you should trust the integrity of the Sannin of Konoha.

Moreover, if the situation wasn't so dire, Konoha wouldn't repeatedly issue wanted posters about him and mobilize such a large-scale manhunt just for his whereabouts?

Clearly, we also don't believe that ordinary people can deal with this guy, and his body must be brought back to Konoha!"

Ōnoki frowned; this seemed like a plausible explanation.

Indeed, if they hadn't encountered such a tricky problem, Konoha wouldn't have issued such a large-scale wanted order.

And thinking about it carefully, the Akatsuki organization has been absorbing rogue ninja all along. Wasn't Obito Uchiha a rogue ninja from Konoha?

Could it be that this is true?

The Akatsuki organization does have Obito Uchiha. Did they come to Iwagakure to recruit Orochimaru?

"Lord Third Tsuchikage, what do you think of our team?"

Suddenly, Shūzawa changed the subject and asked in a low voice.

"Captain Jiraiya is leading the team, with me, Shisui Uchiha, and Kakashi. What do you think our goal is?

It's simple: it's to investigate Obito Uchiha, and we've always believed that the traitor is likely within the Akatsuki!

The reason we came to Iwagakure is because we tracked the Akatsuki's possible contact with Orochimaru, and this time seems to confirm our suspicions."

"Hogwash! I didn't see anything!"

Ōnoki snorted coldly, but he already vaguely believed it in his heart, though he would never show it easily.

"Lord Third Tsuchikage, this matter is difficult to believe, but I want to ask you a question."

Shūzawa sighed helplessly, then looked up at Ōnoki before speaking slowly.

"Konoha has no intention of starting a war with Iwagakure, but Lord Tsuchikage had better not push people too far. What do you think would be the result if our team caused a ruckus inside Iwagakure?"

"You!"

Ōnoki's expression changed drastically in an instant, and not only him, but Jiraiya's expression also changed.

What's going on? We were talking nicely, so why did you suddenly start threatening him?

"Hey, don't bring out that set of tactics you used in Danzō's place."

Jiraiya immediately advised. Shūzawa glanced at Jiraiya before sighing helplessly.

"I understand, Captain Jiraiya. I'm just making an analogy. Lord Third Tsuchikage, please rest assured, we haven't gone mad yet.

Admittedly, we did some things to divert your attention, such as setting fire to the mountains.

But that's all. Perhaps controlling the Five-Tails was just an accident, but no matter what, the Five-Tails can be released from control.

Konoha has no intention of starting a war with Iwagakure. We're just here to investigate the Akatsuki and Orochimaru; we have no malicious intent.

Moreover, Lord Tsuchikage, hiring such a high-profile rogue ninja from Konoha is the most inappropriate thing, isn't it?

But since things have come to this, I think we should all compromise.

If Lord Tsuchikage is willing to believe us, we naturally don't need to take action. I can even take the initiative to let the two spies hidden in Iwagakure leave, reducing your losses.

At the same time, I will also persuade Captain Jiraiya to bring out more intelligence on Obito Uchiha, and Lord Tsuchikage can communicate with Lord Hokage.

I think Lord Hokage will be willing to make some appropriate compensation for our current actions, after all, we didn't inform you in advance.

But if that's not possible..."

As he spoke, Shūzawa ignored Jiraiya's suggestive glances, suddenly clasped his hands together, and a surge of chakra erupted from his body.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

Roar—

Accompanied by a roar, a huge wood dragon broke out and wrapped around the wooden golem.

Buzz—

At this moment, Shisui also controlled the Five-Tails, opening its mouth wide, and a terrifying chakra began to condense frantically, aiming at the crowd below.

"Then, we can only settle this with force."

Shūzawa crossed his arms and stood on top of the wooden golem's head, looking down at Ōnoki, as did Shisui, standing on top of the Five-Tails' head.

"Konoha withstood the Nine-Tails attack, I wonder if Iwagakure can withstand it."

Jiraiya didn't want to say anything at this point. The exact same thought as Kakashi appeared in his mind.

"This time, we're really done for when we go back..."

Ōnoki wasn't doing any better at this moment, and he felt cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

"This damned bastard, he wants to fight at the slightest disagreement?"

"Who the hell let him become a ninja?"

"Oh, it was Danzō Shimura."

"You deserve to die!"

"Jiraiya and the others have been gone for a while now, I wonder what the results will be?"

Konoha, inside the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the scroll in his hand while smoking his pipe, but he couldn't help but think about Jiraiya and the others.

It's not that he doesn't trust Jiraiya, but Shūzawa is just too capable of causing trouble!
