Chapter 82 There is something dirty on the other side!

The "temporary force" led by Danzo has been on the march for more than half a day, and has traveled hundreds of kilometers.

It is still half the distance to the border of the Land of Fire.

If Danzo and others were to travel at full speed, half a day would be enough to reach the border.

But the entire temporary ninja force is not that fast. Most of them are Genin, and they have to avoid excessive consumption of chakra and retain combat power to avoid being attacked.

For this reason, Danzo also deliberately slowed down the march.

And sent out several reconnaissance teams to explore the way ahead.

According to the estimated distance, from now on, they may encounter the attacking force of the Rain Ninja at any time.

They must always be vigilant and alert.

Although Danzo always likes to hide behind the scenes and do tricks, his combat experience and command ability are still excellent.

…

The temporary force is also divided into three factions.

Danzo is the main one, Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku are the auxiliary ones, and the three families of Ino, Shika and Chou are the second.

Among them, the three families of Ino, Shika and Chou are conservatives who support Sarutobi. The main purpose of this mission is to protect Danzo, and secondly to defeat the enemy.

This is also the order given to them by Sarutobi.

As for Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku, as the patriarchs of the big clans, Sarutobi cannot issue a death order.

If it were not for the difficulty of refusing Sarutobi's face, they would not go to the battle at all.

"Patriarch Fugaku? You only bring so few people?"

Hyuga Hiashi glanced at Fugaku next to him and asked in a low voice.

Fugaku brought not many Uchiha ninjas this time, only ten people. Among them, there is only one senior ninja, which does not seem to be the work of the Uchiha clan.

"Many clan members have been sent to the main battlefield of the Hidden Cloud Village, and the village also needs a group of people to maintain the daily work of the [Konoha Police Force]. There is really no manpower available."

Fugaku responded expressionlessly.

These are of course just excuses. No matter how hard the Uchiha clan tries, it is impossible to squeeze out this little manpower.

It was simply because Fugaku didn't want to sacrifice the lives of his clan members to pave the way for Danzo.

He would participate in this battle, on the one hand, to paralyze Sarutobi and Danzo; on the other hand, to collect intelligence to facilitate Minato's future actions.

As a staunch Minato supporter, he now only wanted to clear obstacles for Minato!

"I see."

Hiashi sighed, not knowing whether he believed it or not.

However, he was well prepared and brought nearly 40 Hyuga ninjas.

Among them, there were three jonins from the Hyuga branch family, who were the few elites of the branch family.

They also stood behind him at all times to resist any unexpected dangers.

He was the head of the main family of the Hyuga clan, and he must not let anything happen easily.

Besides, it was just the beginning of November, and his wife's due date was at the end of the month. Hiashi didn't want to die fighting for Danzo, the old bastard.

"I heard that the wife of the head of the Hiashi clan is about to give birth?"

"Yes, in about half a month."

"Do you hope it's a boy or a girl?"

"If you want to take over the position of the head family, a boy is naturally the best."

Hiashi's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and he began to imagine his outstanding descendants.

"Indeed, a boy is indeed good."

Fugaku sincerely hoped.

He really hoped that Hiashi could give birth to a boy, anyway, he had nothing to do with Uchiha.

You know.

Minato gave birth to a boy, and it is estimated that he can't be closer to his family.

If Hiashi gave birth to a beautiful girl and seduced Minato's son away, wouldn't the Hyuga clan be able to take the throne?

How can we let the old man Hiashi get away?

Or, should I work hard to give birth to a daughter?

Or should I encourage Minato and Kushina to give Naruto a sister?

Fugaku kept a straight face, and no one could see the sultry brainstorm in his heart.

"By the way, what does Patriarch Fugaku think of this war?"

"Ramen Village is not an easy opponent."

"Oh? Patriarch Fugaku thinks so highly of Rain Village? Even the leader of the [Ninja Demigod] is not as good as he used to be, right?"

A new generation replaces the old.

Hiashi is very clear about how much time weakens a ninja.

For example, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen more than ten years ago was known as the [Ninjutsu Professor] and [Strongest Hokage].

And now, he is hesitant to deal with the Nine-Tails, and is no longer as brave as he was in the past.

From this, it can be inferred that the Salamander Hanzo is probably not much better.

With this lineup, even if they can't kill the opponent, they won't be defeated easily.

"Does Patriarch Hishi think we will win?"

Fugaku didn't reveal too much, just asked back.

The asymmetry of information gave Fugaku a great advantage this time.

Before setting off.

Minato secretly met him once and told him a lot of information.

Therefore, Fugaku knew that the Rain Ninja Army led by Hanzo might just be a cover, and the real mastermind behind the scenes might be the Akatsuki organization with the Samsara Eye.

That kind of monster is not something Danzo can easily defeat.

That's why he joined this temporary army, ready to take the opportunity to test the opponent's strength.

"How can the victory or defeat on the battlefield be easily predicted."

"Besides, those are also things that Danzo needs to worry about. I just need to do my duty."

Hyuga Hiashi is still so neutral.

Or, this is the style of doing things that the Hyuga clan has been passing down.

Never lean on any party's strength easily. As long as the inheritance is maintained and the main family is protected, the Hyuga clan will not decline in Konoha.

He was not interested in risking his life to get Danzo to the top.

Even if you want to bet, you won't bet on the old guy Danzo.

…

The conversation between the two was not deliberately concealed, and Danzo not far away also used secret techniques to quietly eavesdrop.

After knowing the attitudes of these two Konoha clan leaders, Danzo was not angry.

It would be better if you can get their support yourself.

It doesn't matter if you can't get it, as long as you don't go against yourself.

When he really takes the position of Hokage, are he afraid that he won't be able to put on their shoes?

Especially the Uchiha clan.

‘When I take over, I will make sure you look good! ’

Danzo secretly swore, his desire for the position of Hokage growing stronger.

Just then.

"boom--!"

Thousands of meters ahead, a ball of flames burst out from the detonating talisman's explosion.

It means that the reconnaissance team was attacked!

"Everyone, prepare to fight!"

Danzo roared and began to command his troops to attack.

Success or failure depends on this!

It all depends on whether he can block this wave of offensive from the Rain Ninja Village!

…

The Konoha troops and the Rain Ninja troops came into contact.

As soon as they met, a fierce battle broke out.

Although Konoha's side was a temporary force, it was to protect the village. In addition, the quality was higher than that of Xiao Ninja Village. The combat power that could be unleashed was not low, and almost no one flinched.

But Yu Ren was even more cruel.

'Hanzo' directly said that if there is anyone who retreats and flees on the battlefield, all his family members and clans will be wiped out directly afterwards!

Use actual terror threats and painful feelings to stimulate these rain ninjas, forcing them to burst out with the courage to fight to the death.

The momentum and madness of exchanging lives for lives, fearlessness of death, directly made Konoha stupid.

"How come?"

"How can these rain ninjas be so brave? What medicine did Hanzo give them?"

Danzo stood on a tall tree at the back, observing the entire battlefield, his brows furrowed, and his face became increasingly ugly.

The average strength of the rain ninja is naturally not as good as that of the Konoha ninja.

But this unyielding momentum was so strong that it directly suppressed Konoha's momentum.

It’s not going to be good if this continues!

"Lord Danzo, there is something strange on the other side."

"These rain ninjas don't seem to be afraid of death, but rather they seem to be driven by fear and have to fight for their lives..."

As Konoha's military advisor, Nara Shikaku has a very high IQ and quickly noticed something was wrong.

"Go, grab a Rain Ninja, and let Yamanaka use a secret method to check his memory."

Danzo was very decisive and sent two root masters.

He quickly captured an Rain Ninja alive, and then asked Yamanaka Haiichi to activate the [Ninja Technique: Mind Reading Technique] to read the other person's thoughts.

"Lord Danzo, I understand."

"Hanzo on the other side threatens these ninjas with his family and clan. If they fail or retreat, he will kill all their relatives!"

Yamanaka Hai said with his head numb.

He really didn't expect that there would be someone even more ruthless than Danzo-sama!

"What?"

"Beast Hanzo, so dirty! So despicable!"

"Is he crazy?"

"Are you willing to go so far for this war?"

"What does he want? Or what kind of benefits did Yunyin Village promise to him?"

Danzo was furious and couldn't understand at all.

Why did Hanzo, who had been conservative throughout the three wars, suddenly become so radical and even risk destroying his reputation?

This is something Danzo would not dare to do openly.

Once your family members are used to threaten your subordinates, after such shameless and cruel behavior is exposed, who will work with you in the future?

Aren't you afraid that your family will be slaughtered?

Even if you can win.

After returning, how will Hanzo rule the Rain Ninja Village?

If Danzo dared to threaten the Konoha ninjas like this, let alone become Hokage, he would probably be torn into pieces by the village when he returned.

In his eyes, Sanshouyu Hanzo is completely crazy!

And of course he didn't know that it was not Hanzo who issued this order at all, but Nagato who borrowed the identity of the dead Hanzo to issue it.

Hanzo had to be abandoned anyway, so there was no point in trying to trick him again.

What's more, these rain ninjas also tended to the Hanzo faction, so even if all of them died, Nagato wouldn't feel bad.

"Danzo-sama, we can't delay this any longer!"

Nara Shikaku reminded.

If you delay any longer, your temporary army will likely lose momentum and collapse.

Until then.

No matter how powerful Danzo and the others are, they can't stop hundreds of rain ninjas who are attacking in separate directions. As long as a small number of rain ninjas reach the entrance of Konoha Village, they don't even need to attack.

Danzo's reputation and prestige will plummet.

"Okay! You three, attack quickly!"

Danzo gave the order, and the Inokacho trio had no choice but to attack.

Rather than protecting Danzo, they still wanted to rescue those Konoha ninjas, hoping to minimize their own casualties.

"Clan Chief Fugaku, Chief Hizu, it's time for you to take action!"

Danzo looked at Fugaku and the others and urged.

"Don't you worry about your own safety, Danzo-sama?"

"It's okay, I can protect myself. Now is not the time to worry about personal safety. Everything is focused on the victory of the village!"

Danzo's words were so high-sounding that Fugaku and the others couldn't find fault.

So they ignored Danzo and joined the battlefield to fight against the fierce offensive of the rain ninja.

This time.

Except for the two root guard ninjas, there are no other guards around Danzo.

Naturally, Danzo didn't know that while he was trying to turn the tide of the battle, the hunter on the opposite side had already set his sights on his prey.

…
