Chapter 100

However.

The heavy losses of the Rock Village.

And the fact that the Third Tsuchikage Onoki was severely wounded and unconscious, were undeniable facts that could not be covered up.

Because the Konoha ninjas responsible for reconnaissance were not on the scene when Senju Xingye provided support, he had no idea who the main person responsible for this battle was. Plus, the Rock Village people wouldn't be bored enough to publicize their own shameful deeds.

Therefore, these military exploits were all lumped onto the Third Raikage.

"What?!"

Hearing this news.

Shimura Danzo, who was covered in bandages and in a state of severe injury.

Couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking somewhat incredulous. This level of strength felt even more terrifying than his master, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.

He had long heard.

That the current Third Raikage was the strongest Raikage.

But this strength was a bit too explosive; he was definitely "Super Kage level"!

And he, Shimura Danzo, hadn't even officially stepped into the Kage level yet; if he met him, he would probably be instantly killed.

In his understanding.

The current Konohagakure, apart from the complete Nine-Tails, did not possess any Super Kage level combat power.

Whether it was Senju Xingye, Senju Tsunade, Kakuzu, Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru, or Jiraiya, they were all still in the Kage level. To deal with that Third Raikage guy, at least two Kage-level fighters would be needed to stabilize the situation, and perhaps even three or four to have a chance of winning.

"Is the news accurate?"

"Yes, this news is reliable; the Rock Village has indeed suffered a heavy blow."

"Fortunately, the Third Raikage is also severely wounded and hasn't come to the front line to join the battle, otherwise our pressure would be even greater. The two of us alone wouldn't be able to stop the Cloud Village's offensive."

"This is a misfortune in the midst of fortune, but the Cloud Village's reinforcements and the participation of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki will also increase the pressure on our side."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried.

Originally.

He and this guy Danzo were already struggling to deal with the Cloud Village's AB combination.

Now, Danzo had accidentally been beaten into a severe injury and almost died on the spot, leaving only himself as a Kage-level fighter to face two Kage-level fighters simultaneously. The pressure was all on him, and the opponent was even adding a Kage-level Jinchuriki.

This was just not letting anyone have a good time!

"The Mist Village is quiet, and the Rock Village has also temporarily withdrawn its troops after suffering heavy losses."

"So, I suggest mobilizing Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya to the Cloud Village front to assist."

"The opponent has three Kage-level combatants."

"We must also increase our own combat power."

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is still young and hasn't fully mastered the power of Tailed Beast transformation, but I heard that the Two-Tails Jinchuriki is a perfect Jinchuriki. Once she fully enters Tailed Beast transformation, it will be a devastating blow to us."

"........"

Shimura Danzo said with a grave expression.

As the Cloud Village, which was second only to Konohagakure among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, their hidden strength was not weak at all.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was only young now; give him another year or two, and he would definitely be another perfect Jinchuriki capable of fully unleashing the Eight-Tails' destructive power.

The Two-Tails Jinchuriki was already a perfect Jinchuriki.

A, son of the Third Raikage, also possessed Kage-level strength at a young age.

The Third Raikage, now the strongest in the Cloud Village, was thought by the world to have broken through the peak of Kage level to reach the "Super Kage" rank after his battle with ten thousand Rock Village ninjas, making him the strongest Raikage in history.

And on their side.

Even if the Rock Village withdrew and the Mist Village stayed put.

The Sand Village side still needed Orochimaru to lead troops to guard it.

Being able to send Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato, and Jiraiya—three Kage-level fighters—was already quite good.

As for the Forest Senju.

They did have several Kage-level powerhouses.

But their relationship with you was terrible, and they didn't want to get involved in this war at all, so don't expect them to put in their best effort. It would be a blessing if they could just guard Konohagakure's industries from being destroyed.

"Hmm, that's acceptable."

Regarding this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also agreed.

He couldn't hold out alone, and this guy Danzo was too much of a liability.

Calling over the new-generation genius Namikaze Minato and his own disciple Jiraiya would be safer.

Just as the two were discussing how to deploy troops to resist the Cloud Village's offensive, a Forest Senju delivery ninja poked his head in from outside, carrying a full bag of takeout.

"Hello, who ordered the takeout?"

"No one ordered takeout, get lost."

Seeing anything related to the Forest Senju.

Shimura Danzo was immediately furious. If he didn't lack the energy to start a war with them now, he would have even considered killing the person.

Of course.

Now that he, the leader of "Root," was severely injured and unable to rise.

And the "Root" he had worked so hard to build had lost half its strength in this war.

It could be said that his strength was greatly reduced, so after comprehensive consideration, Shimura Danzo chose the most cowardly approach—cowering, and at most just venting his anger verbally.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Wait a moment, wait a moment, I ordered the takeout."

Seeing the Forest Senju delivery ninja looking confused and preparing to turn away.

Muttering that he hadn't gone to the wrong place.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't sit still and immediately stood up to stop him. Danzo might not have ordered takeout, but he had.

When others fight wars.

Resources and money are consumed rapidly.

Only the Forest Senju made a fortune from the war. Whether it was selling explosive tags, kunai, or the ninja world takeout service, these were definitely highly profitable industries!

Even.

After a few months.

Even if some wars had ended, the Forest Senju's ninja world takeout service was deeply imprinted in the minds of most ninjas.

"Sarutobi, you!"

Seeing his good friend.

Actually abandoning the dark for the light and choosing to surrender to the Forest Senju's takeout.

Shimura Danzo looked at him with an incredulous expression, as if he had been betrayed.

"One order of tempura, five rice balls."

"Meal cost 100 ryo, delivery fee 2,000 ryo, thanks for your patronage."

Feeling a bit pained, he took out his small wallet and paid the meal fee to the Forest Senju delivery ninja.

Afterward, the other party left without stopping to deliver the next order.

Delivering one order.

Came with a 5% commission.

Not to mention the meal cost, just this delivery fee was 100 ryo per order, and they carried storage scrolls, often able to hold hundreds of orders at once.

In other words, as long as they were a little diligent, even a Genin could earn over ten thousand a day.

"People are iron, food is steel."

"We fight so hard every day, we can't just eat soldier pills every day."

"Although our relationship with the Forest Senju is bad, I have to admit that the takeout they deliver is really delicious, it's super fragrant."

"Don't make things hard for yourself. Didn't our clans all buy Forest Senju real estate?"

"......."

Regarding this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw things very clearly.

The current Forest Senju's industries had penetrated every aspect of Konohagakure; this wasn't something you could boycott just because you wanted to.

So. ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
