Chapter 183: The gradually clear situation in the west is about to come to the fore

Inside the cave!

Looking at the Sand Ninja and the Ninja of the Kingdom of River who are constantly bargaining!

Tetsuya Fujiwara's eyes!

No! It should be said that the insect light!

More and more solemn!

The strength of the Ninja Village of the Kingdom of River! Compared with Konoha!

Naturally not worth mentioning!

But! If the River Country really stood on the side of the Sand Country!

If they sent ninjas to harass along the narrow border between the River Country and the Fire Country!

They would also tie up a lot of Konoha ninjas!

"I've said what I should say!"

"Rights and wrongs! You should have your own ideas in your mind!"

"But! In the end, I still have to say a few irrelevant words!"

"As far as I know! In the past two years, the River Country has imported food, cloth, and even ninja supplies from the Fire Country!"

"The price is more than doubled compared to two years ago!"

"And the precious medicinal materials exported by the River Country! Tea...all kinds of precious materials!"

"How cheap it has become under the continuous price reduction of the Fire Country officials and merchants! You should know!"

"Want to change this injustice! Make the River Country more prosperous!"

"Stand up! Join forces with us to deal with the Fire Country! Deal with Konoha!"

"It's your only choice!"

I have to say! The Sand Country really chose the right person!

Under the continuous verbal cannon output of that Sand Ninja!

The ninja from the River Country hesitated! He was tempted!

That's right!

A man who embarked on the road of ninja!

How many people don't have their own ambitions and ideals?

"I... I need to go back and discuss with the leader!"

"Such a big thing! It's not something I can decide easily!"

"Give me three days! Three days later, we will meet here again!"

"Then... I will give you the final reply!"

"Okay! Three days is three days!"

After the people from the Sand Village left!

Fujiwara Tetsuya left here along the cracks in the rock wall!

Three days! Not short! Not long... either!

Right now! All they can rely on! Is the strength of the fourth team!

The western border of the Fire Country!

When the Night Team returned safely! And told the whole thing to Ape!

Even Ape! He felt a huge pressure!

If the Sand Village and the River Country really want to do something weird at this juncture!

A little carelessness! It will completely break the relatively balanced situation in the western part of the Land of Fire!

"Huh~ I know, Ye!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"I will send someone to pass the information back to the village!"

...

Konoha!

Although Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya successfully stopped the attack of the Rain Ninja!

And in the subsequent battles!

They successively recaptured the villages, towns, and lands occupied by the Rain Ninja!

But! The dark clouds over Konoha have never dissipated!

Rather!

After the information from the ape was delivered to the top leaders of Konoha!

The rolling dark clouds! Became heavier!

"Hiruzen! Let the Root handle this matter!"

"I will definitely handle this matter before the Sand Village and the River Country form an alliance!"

The continuous wars!

Let Danzo see the opportunity to regain power!

As the best friend of the Shadow of Konoha!

One of the few Shadow-level strongmen in Konoha!

Danzo has full confidence! Sarutobi Hiruzen will cancel his imprisonment!

And let him take charge of the Root again!

Of course! All the opportunities are obtained by himself!

This Danzo! The reason why he is so enthusiastic now!

Facing Danzo's self-recommendation!

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not reply immediately!

Instead, after blowing out smoke rings!

He turned his eyes to Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En!

Danzo's little thoughts! He knows very well!

He also understands! After Danzo takes charge of the Root!

How much help will be provided to him!

Especially in the current situation of uncertainty!

The Root has become more and more important!

It can completely fill the shortage of Anbu!

"Hiruzen! I think Danzo's proposal... is not good for the current situation"Maybe! It's time for Danzo to take charge of the Root again!" "Hiruzen! I think what Koharu said makes sense!" "Besides! Danzo has been imprisoned for a year!" "This level of punishment! It's enough!" "Let Danzo go back to the Root!" Looking at Danzo's slightly expectant one-eyed! After a little hesitation, Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En still considered their past friendship and spoke up for Danzo one after another! "I understand!" "In that case! Danzo!" "You should go back to the Root!" "But! You are not going to the River Country! You are going to the Grass Country!" "The Grass Country?" "That's right! Just yesterday! The spy lurking in the Grass Village sent back a message!" "The people of the Iwagakure Village met with the top leaders of the Grass Village!" "In order to prevent the Grass Village from falling to the Iwagakure Village! "

"Now! Give Kusagakure a blow!"

While sighing, the wrinkles on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face seemed to become more and more!

"Just Kusagakure Village! Hiruzen! Don't worry!"

"I will definitely handle the Kusagakure Village!"

"We will never let Kusagakure Village and Iwagakure Village collude with each other!"

After taking back the control of the Root!

Danzo's mood! Naturally improved!

He patted his chest and made a promise to Sarutobi Hiruzen!

"Danzo! Don't be careless!"

"The people of Kusagakure Village! Are not as simple as they seem!"

"And Ohnoki! He is more thoughtful than anyone else!"

"If you are not careful! You will fall!"

"Of course! In order to let you properly handle the affairs of Kusagakure Village!"

"I will give you a certain degree of autonomy! When necessary! I can promise Kusagakure Village certain benefits! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words!

The expressions of Utatane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Danzo were slightly gloomy!

Ceding interests!

It's okay!

It's just! As the five major countries! The five major ninja villages!

They also have their own pride in their hearts!

If it's a slower target! For example, a ninja village that is also one of the five major countries! Or the Hidden Rain Village!

They can accept it!

But! This target! If it's a second- or third-rate ninja village like the Hidden Grass Village!

It really lowers Konoha's bottom line!

"Hiruzen..."

"Koharu! Don't say any more!"

"The Hidden Grass Village is nothing to be afraid of!"

"But what we have to do now! Is to gather enough strength! To deal with the Hidden Rain Village! And the Hidden Rock Village that is very likely to join the battle at a critical moment! The Hidden Sand Village! "

If it's one-on-one!

Sarutobi Hiruzen is naturally fearless!

Even if he runs into the Third Raikage who is known as the strongest spear and the strongest shield!

He is not afraid at all! But now!

There are too many forces eyeing the Land of Fire! Eyeing Konoha!

In order for Konoha to win the final victory!

He needs to preserve Konoha's combat power to the greatest extent!

"We know!"

"But! What if Danzo goes to Kusagakure Village!"

"Who should be sent to the Land of Rivers?"

"Sakumo! I plan to let Sakumo quit the Anbu! "

Facing the gazes of the crowd!

Sarutobi Hiruzen only uttered a few words lightly!

But it set off endless waves in the hearts of Danzo and the other two!

That one! The fangs lurking in the dark!

Is he going to step into the spotlight!
