Chapter 100 Reactions from all parties
When the news that Konoha's White Fang Hatake Sakumo and Yellow Flash Namikaze Minato returned to Konoha reached Sunagakure.
Stationed in the Sunagakure camp in the Land of Rain, Chiyo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Previously photographed in the name of Sakumo, she remained motionless, as if she was still looking for something.
In fact, Konoha released the news that the Third Kazekage was made into a puppet.
But Chiyo suppressed the news.
She had already vaguely guessed the truth of the matter, which was undoubtedly closely related to her grandson Scorpion.
If this matter were to become known to others, both she and Ebizo would be implicated and would have to resign.
The current Sand Village has lost the Third Kazekage and is completely dependent on the two elders, himself and Ebizo.
What's more, the war between Sunagakure and Konoha is about to begin.
What Chiyo didn't expect was that Uchiha Haneda, a Genin from Konoha, could actually fight against Sasori and not fall into a disadvantage at the first moment.
This means that Haneda can hold back Ying for a short period of time!
And this genius boy is just a Genin who just graduated at the age of ten!!
"Konoha is truly filled with talented people." Chiyo thought secretly.
Konoha is planning to hold the Chunin Exam recently and has invited many large and small ninja villages.
Perhaps we can start from here and find out information about the younger generation of Konoha.
Then in the next war, focus on these seeds of a new era.
…………
In a black market in the Land of Rivers.
Scorpion held the information scroll about Konoha White Fang being rescued by Orochimaru and fell into deep thought.
The reason why he did not join Kakuzu in the attack and chose to leave was because Grandma Chiyo and the Sunagakure ninja came looking for him.
He was the one who killed the Third Kazekage. Scorpion didn't want to embarrass Chiyo, nor did he want to be hunted down by the Sand Village.
What's more, Kakuzu's strength is enough to put an end to it, and Chiyo will not let Sakumo go just like himself.
But an accident occurred. The support troops led by Orochimaru arrived, and the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo, did not want Konoha and Sunagakure to start a conflict in the Rain Country.
For the sake of the overall situation, Chiyo had to let Sakumo go.
These are places that Scorpio didn't expect.
"You are still the same as before, always considering the village's perspective."
"Little did you know that it was the village you loved that killed my parents and caused all these tragedies."
Scorpion sneered a few times and put away the intelligence scroll.
In addition to pursuing art, he assassinated the Third Kazekage more because he wanted to kill the real enemy who started the war.
As for Hatake Sakumo, he just accepted the mission assigned by Konoha, which is understandable in a sense.
But Hatake Sakumo is still the direct murderer of his parents.
There was no way Scorpio would let him go.
"Konoha White Fang... The Uchiha Haneda who follows him is quite powerful."
"He can actually suppress the Magnetic Style with the Lightning Style."
"If the Third Kazekage wasn't a living puppet created by me, and had some of his original combat experience and fighting will, it would have been difficult for me to defeat him in such a short period of time."
"It's time to spend more time getting used to magnetic escape."
…………
The Village of Blood Mist, Madara's hidden underground base.
An unidentified humanoid creature with half black and half white emerged from the ground.
They were Black Zetsu and White Zetsu who had been secretly observing Haneda before.
"Lord Madara." Black Zetsu said to Uchiha Madara, who was sitting on the stone chair above with his eyes closed.
Hearing the voice, Madara knew that it was Black Zetsu who came back to report, so he opened his eyes and asked:
"How is Haneda getting along with Yahiko? Is Nagato still the same?"
Black Zetsu replied:
"Madara-sama, Haneda gets along very well with Yahiko. Yahiko trusts him and considers him a like-minded friend."
"Nagato is the same as before, not talking much and relying a lot on Yahiko and Konan."
"Oh?" When Madara heard about his like-minded friends, he immediately thought of Yahiko's pursuit of peace and became curious.
"It seems that this kid is also a peace-loving person, not bad."
"And what is his view on peace?"
Black absolute way:
"There are two views, one is to unify the world, and the other is to distribute weapons of mass destruction and make the major powers wary of each other."
"But Haneda prefers the former, Madara-sama."
Hearing that Haneda agreed with his previous thoughts, Madara couldn't help but think of the scene when he left Konoha.
As the sun sets, there is no one behind me.
But he didn't expect that when he was about to die, he would meet a junior who agreed with him, and Madara developed a different kind of appreciation for Haneda.
In particular, Haneda also agreed with Hasi Lama's ideas!
And between the two thoughts, he recognized himself more!!
"A nice junior...what a pity." Madara recalled the past and sighed.
His best friend and brother Hasilama does not agree with his peace ideas and carries his wrong ideas through to the end.
If there had been an outstanding junior like Haneda following behind him back then, perhaps everything would have been different.
Unfortunately, Madara now has greater and more noble ideals.
That is the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which can completely resolve disputes between people and achieve permanent peace!
After a while, Ban came back to his senses, glanced at Hasi Lama's face on his chest, and said lightly:
“In order to protect something, something has to be sacrificed.”
"Even if that person is a member of my tribe who recognized me in the past."
"The plan continues."
…………
Two and a half days later, Haneda and his group returned to Konoha.
Before he had the time to go back to the village to have a hot meal, he was pulled into the office by the Sandaime to ask about his well-being.
At this time, Team 7 and Team 9 gathered in the Hokage Building.
The Sandaime took a quick look and then turned his gaze to Sakumo:
"Thank you for troubling me this time, Sakumo. I let you put yourself in danger so that I can find out the purpose of Sunagakure."
"I should be the one to apologize. I almost failed to fulfill my promise." Shuomao said.
Hearing this, the Sandaime's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.
He chatted with Sakumo for a while about Asuma, then turned his attention to Haneda.
The Sandaime asked kindly:
"You didn't run into any danger in the Rain Country?"
Asking knowingly...
Haneda pretended to be embarrassed and said shyly:
"In addition to encountering a black market bounty ninja raid, I also encountered... the same thing as five years ago."
When he heard about five years ago, the smile on the Sandaime's face froze.
He naturally understood what Haneda meant.
It was the Root led by Danzo who tried to harm Haneda!
"I jumped off a cliff and escaped with luck. I didn't dare to go back. I waited until my injuries were completely healed before I rushed back to the Fire Nation."
Haneda said again.
His words were full of suspicion towards Danzo.
When the Sandaime heard this, he immediately began to secretly suspect Danzo.
Although on the day Haneda disappeared, Danzo felt aggrieved and reluctant when he promised to go find Haneda's whereabouts.
But who can say for sure whether Danzo is acting with himself?
The Sandaime knew Danzo too well, as he had gone mad and was targeting the Uchiha.
My best friend might really do such a thing.
