Chapter 650 Learning

The huge room was filled with silence.

In the corner by the window.

At this time, the crisp sound of the pipe tapping the ashtray came leisurely, with a distinct and rhythmic rhythm.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was intently reviewing the information sent by his friend.

He put the pipe in his hand into his mouth again, held it gently, then let out a dull cough and laughed at himself. "In Konoha now, maybe you and that guy Men Yan are still willing to deal with an old man like me."

After turning to bed, Koharu responded silently: "Although this is a bit jounin-y, it is true. However, unfortunately, we did not learn more about the follow-up information about the appearance of tailed beasts in Yunin Village."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown deeply.

Originally, he thought it was just a plot directed and acted by the Yunin Village, with the purpose of embezzling the Ichibi Shukaku of the Sunagakure Village and taking it as his own.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not expect that during the investigation of Konoha Anbu, Shukaku's appearance would actually involve the intervention of underground forces hidden in the ninja world, allowing them to emerge from the darkness.

Let’s not talk about Yu Yin Ninja Village’s involvement in the tailed beast for now.

But the mysterious organization called Akatsuki that Namikaze Minato sent people to investigate, as Itachi's intermittent information was transmitted back to Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen also understood that this organization's goal was to directly target the tailed beasts!

He actually wanted to buy a Shukaku from Yu Ninja Village at a huge price!

This is undoubtedly a shocking fact.

This also means that this organization will never be satisfied with just capturing one tailed beast, and will definitely take action against other tailed beasts next.

"Fortunately, Konoha's Kyuubi has broken the seal and escaped..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, with a sense of joy in his voice.

Although he was keenly aware that the death of his old friend Danzo was probably a scene that Namikaze Minato ordered Uchiha Itachi to direct and act, but these insignificant hatreds did not seem to be important in the face of Konoha's life and death. That's important.

"Are there many extremely dangerous S-class rebellious ninjas in the ninja world..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was extremely fearful of the Akatsuki organization, especially because its leader actually wanted to fuse the nine tailed beasts to create an ultimate war weapon to achieve the goal of dominating the ninja world!

This is something Sarutobi Hiruzen will never allow!

If he were still Hokage and faced with such a dangerous existence as the Akatsuki organization, he would definitely launch the Five Shadows Conference as soon as possible to make the organization's ambitions public.

"Minato, he...sigh..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply.

The incident where members of the Akatsuki organization bought Shukaku, the one-tailed man, from Yuno Kuni made it difficult for Hiruzen to be happy no matter what.

The situation in the ninja world is becoming more and more complicated, and Hiruzen is increasingly worried about the future of Konoha.

Although he is no longer Hokage, he loves this village deeply.

Regarding the information about this organization, Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to send it to other ninja villages in his own name, but he knew that there were deep dissatisfaction among the major countries, and the relationship between Konoha Ninja Village and other ninja villages was also very tense. .

In addition, in recent years, the country of Yu has launched transactions with various major countries, but only Konoha has been excluded. Over time, the attitudes of various countries towards Konoha have even become antagonistic, and Konoha has been subconsciously treated as a joke.

"Let's see, when you targeted Tang Ninja Village like this, now is the retribution coming?"

This is probably a true reflection of the hearts of major countries.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt.

Even if other Ninja Villages received the information about the tailed beasts being traded between this organization and Yu Ninja Village, they might not believe it. Instead, they would feel that he was trying to sow discord between them and Yu Ninja Village, and would still insist on their opinions. Act on a strategy that puts self-interest first.

And in this situation, he also understood that the longer time passed, the more serious the situation would become for the ninja village with tailed beasts.

As for the country of Yu, since the tailed beast was not needed as a trump card in the first place, it became a bystander that had nothing to do with it!

"Hiruzen, are you worried that Minato won't be able to handle it?" Koharu asked with concern as he moved to bed.

Hiruzen thought for a moment and shook his head solemnly: "If you dare to regard tailed beasts as your target, you are either a group of ignorant people or a group of extraordinary ninjas. But the key is that their leader possesses the power of the legendary Sage of Six Paths. Eyes! Even though Minato has grown a lot, it is not a problem that can be easily solved by inserting a young Itachi into it."

Speaking of the Rinnegan Eye, Koharu's face instantly turned ugly when he went to bed. He couldn't help but glance at Sarutobi Koko and complained in his mouth.

"Speaking of which, Jiraiya said this at the beginning. If he hadn't taken the initiative to teach those three boys ninjutsu, they might have died in a corner full of war!"

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment, then waved his hands with a tired look on his face, not wanting to say anything more.

As Jiraiya's teacher, he knew he was in the wrong, but since Jiraiya had already died fighting for the village, it was hard for him to argue in front of his old friends.

It's just Uchiha Itachi, this is the spy arranged by Minato.

But in the information sent back by Itachi, Orochimaru actually joined this organization since leaving Konoha. Not only does this show that the strength of this organization cannot be underestimated.

What made Sarutobi Hiruzen even more worried.

His disciple Orochimaru is a ninja who lacks humanity. If he stays in a place full of sin and evil for a long time, he will really be hopeless...

......

In addition, Sarutobi Hiruzen is also very clear about Orochimaru's research capabilities.

Such a dangerous S-class rebellious ninja was secretly supporting the Akatsuki organization. He really couldn't imagine how powerful the leader of this organization, the so-called Pain, was, and could actually bring together so many dangerous ninjas. , to take command and make these dangerous rebellious ninjas obey the instructions.

"By the way, Shukaku was arrested. Hasn't Sunagakure received any feedback yet?"

As if he thought of something, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his old friend in surprise.

According to common sense, Sunagakure, who lost his tailed beast, should not be indifferent to this. They, who are already weak, should feel more attached to Shukaku than ever before!

If Sunagakure and the Akatsuki organization could take the lead and expose the evil of this organization to the shinobi world, that would undoubtedly be the best choice.

"According to the ninja who sent the letter, he didn't even get to see Rasa's face. He just said thank you Hiruzen for the information, and then he stopped taking any action."

After turning to bed, Xiaochun replied with a wry smile.

The news about Ichibi Shukaku being captured by the Akatsuki organization has been conveyed to Sunagakure Village.

However, the reaction of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa was completely different from what he expected!

Although he politely thanked Jihua, Sunagakure had no idea of ​​recovering the lost tailed beast!

"... I guess that boy Luo Sha was beaten to the ground, right? However, this is also his usual style. But it is not a problem to keep his head down and remain silent like this..."

After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen said with emotion.

After losing a tailed beast, it means that Sunagakure's top combat power has been lost.

If it was Kyuubi who was captured, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Minato and others must have been extremely angry at this moment and were ready to retaliate against the Akatsuki organization.

"Different from Kumogakure's arrogance, stubborn character, and advocating for hegemony, this generation of Sunagakure village leaders are indeed too conservative in character. It is indeed not easy for us to let them challenge the Akatsuki organization for the Ninja Beast matter. Unless they are forced into a desperate situation and forced to seek help, they will be able to ally with us again. "

After sleeping, Xiaochun made this judgment.

The behavior style of each generation of Raikage is very similar.

In fact, there is not much difference in the way of life among the Raikages of the past generations.

Since the first Raikage founded Kumogakure Village, this ninja village has always respected hegemony. The ninjas in it all have the same character, following the belief that the strong is king, and have always coveted the rich land of the Fire Country.

But after the establishment of Sunagakure Village, it actually showed a strong intention to expand outward.

After all, the resources of the Kingdom of Wind are too weak and rely entirely on imports. First of all, there is no way to develop economically. The environment is even more harsh, so Sunagakure ninjas basically have a pioneering spirit!

but...

This generation of Kazekage is an exception...

In this regard, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also a little helpless.

"It seems that we will not be able to defeat the ambitions of the Akatsuki organization in the near future."

He sighed regretfully.

He is an old politician, and his instinct to be prepared for danger in times of peace is engraved in his bones.

Although the Kyuubi is no longer in Konoha's hands, as the strongest tailed beast, Konoha has no reason to give up this powerful power! The Fourth Hokage, Namifeng Shui Sect, sent out a lot of manpower, and it was imperative that the Nine-Tails be found again and sealed.

Then, for the Akatsuki organization who has the intention of tailed beasts, it has become a thorn in the side of Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Thinking about it, he sighed slightly.

Today's Konoha is no better than before. It wants to realize many plans, but in fact it is often unable to do so.
