Chapter 1165: The real driving force behind the Fourth Ninja World War!

Shinji did not directly answer Tsunade's question.

Because this involves an ability of the Overlord, which is that the more the Ninja World knows about the Overlord, the closer the Overlord will be to the Ninja World.

For Shinji, time is still the key right now.

Although he has obtained the Ten-Tails, being promoted to the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki is a completely new experience for him, so it will take time to fully adapt to this new power.

If the information about the overlord spreads widely in the ninja world at this critical moment, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Perhaps in the next moment, the Overlord will break the barriers of the Ninja World and launch an invasion.

Seeing that Shinji didn't give a direct answer, Tsunade immediately weighed the options.

Right now, Konoha, or the entire coalition of ninja villages, has no confidence to reason with Shinji, so she has no ability to change the terms of the deal proposed by Shinji and can only make a choice between agreeing and rejecting.

If you agree, the price you pay is just to help Shinji cover up his identity, without much substantial loss.

And refusal means war!
Although she felt aggrieved, her mind told her that she had no choice but to agree, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I can promise you. But if you or your subordinates attack the five major ninja villages without reason, I will regard it as you giving up the agreement between us."

"it is good!"

Shinji agreed immediately.

Seeing that Shinji seemed to be about to leave, Tsunade hurriedly stopped him: "Tell me, was Yakumo also recruited into your organization?"

Shinji thought about it, then nodded and said, "Yes, she is 'D'."

"really."

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief.

After the war broke out, Yakumo disappeared, which made her very worried. Later, when she calmed down and thought about it, she found some clues. Now she asked Shinji for confirmation just to feel at ease.

After confirming the safety of her student, Tsunade asked with a complicated expression: "How did you convince her?"

Tsunade herself had given everything to Yakumo, so she didn't understand why Yakumo would hide it from her and join Shinji's team.

"I think you misunderstood!" Shinji shook his head and said slowly: "She was recruited by me first, and then she was chosen as your disciple!"

Tsunade was immediately shocked: "I see!"

Immediately, all the doubts that had been weighing on her mind were swept away.

The key point in Yakumo's journey from being too sick to continue being a ninja to being chosen as a disciple by her, one of the "Three Ninjas of Konoha", was that Yakumo awakened the "Red Dragon Eye" eye technique, a bloodline limit that seemed to have never appeared in the ninja world before.

Now that I think about it, the so-called awakening of the 'Red Dragon Eye' by Yakumo should also be the work of Shinji.

Yakumo will become stronger with or without her, so it’s not that Yakumo betrayed her as his master, but that Yakumo was already Shinji’s person before he became his apprentice.

Thinking of this, Tsunade looked at Shinji again, her expression becoming more solemn. She had long seen that Shinji was not simple. Although he was also a Mangekyō Uchiha, his mind was much deeper than Sasuke's.

This is also the reason why after Shinji humiliated Danzo, she still handed over the village's defense to Shinji's Konoha Police Force.

Because subconsciously, she had actually realized that the village had long lost control of Shinji, so when the war was imminent, she chose to appease Shinji so as not to intensify the conflict and cause turmoil.

Thinking back to the time when Shinji borrowed the village's hand to use Takamagahara to train the ninjas of the ninja village coalition to deal with Nagato's Akatsuki organization, and had 'B' and 'D' stage an internal conflict, it now seems that all of these were the driving force behind the war between the ninja village coalition and Nagato's Akatsuki organization.

Tsunade even began to suspect whether Shinji's extraction of Itachi's top-secret information from the ninja's brain in the Konoha Hospital was just a coincidence or was arranged by Shinji himself.

If it was the latter, then the coalition forces of the ninja villages, from the five Kage to ordinary ninjas, nearly 100,000 people, would have been fooled by Shinji alone.

Seeing Tsunade's changing expression, Shinji didn't bother to care and said, "Let Naruto practice as quickly as possible and become as strong as possible. We don't have much time left!"

Tsunade asked, "What do you mean?"

Shinji waved his hand: "You just need to convey it!"

Swish.
At this moment, a ninja from the communications squad landed outside the tent and reported anxiously, "Hokage-sama, we just received an urgent call for help from the village. Uchiha Itachi attacked the village!"

"what?!"

Tsunade was startled and pulled open the curtain of the tent and walked out.

The communications squad ninja wiped his sweat and said, "The village has already gathered its forces to encircle and suppress Uchiha Itachi, but Uchiha Itachi is very powerful and we suffered heavy casualties!"

Tsunade suppressed her anger and asked, "Are you sure it's Itachi? Only him?"

The communications squad ninja quickly replied: "Yes, we have confirmed that the attacker is Uchiha Itachi, and we have not found any other accomplices of his!"

"Go inform the other four Kages and Jiraiya to hold an emergency meeting immediately!" Tsunade instructed the communications squad ninja, then returned to the tent and said to Shinji, "Uchiha Itachi attacked the village. This has nothing to do with you, right?"

Shinji shook his head.

Tsunade wondered, "Why would he attack the village at this time? Could it be that Nagato and his gang are still determined to kidnap Naruto and take away the half of the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body?"

Shinji also began to think.

Obviously, the one who attacked Konoha could not be the real Uchiha Itachi. He should have just completed the integration of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. With his cautious style, he should now be adapting his strength, collecting intelligence, and preparing for the next move.

So it is obvious who the attacker is.

But Shinji was a little puzzled. The fake "Uchiha Itachi" had been chasing Orochimaru all this time, so why did he suddenly change his target and attack Konoha?
"Did the Overlord realize something and change the behavior logic of the fake 'Uchiha Itachi'? Then why did he attack Konoha? Did he want to force me to show up by killing me?"

Shinji really doesn't dare to deny this possibility now, because the fake 'Uchiha Itachi' has all the abilities of Uchiha Itachi. Considering the destructive power of 'Susanoo', if the fake 'Uchiha Itachi' is determined to kill, his destructive power will definitely not be inferior to that of the runaway tailed beast.

Seeing that Shinji really didn't know, Tsunade said: "Since Uchiha Itachi is not your man, then we won't be polite!"

There was murderous intent in her words. The Five Kage couldn't afford to offend 'A', and they couldn't deal with you, Uchiha Itachi!
The ninja village coalition had just suffered a great defeat, their headquarters had been breached, all their Jinchūriki had been lost, and they had suffered heavy casualties. If they allowed Itachi's provocative behavior at this time, the five ninja villages would soon become the laughing stock of the entire ninja world, and Shinji wouldn't even need to intervene, as the five ninja villages would probably not be able to survive.
The first update is here!
