Chapter 107: Shinobi’s Dark Plot, Chaos in the Land of Rain (Large Chapter, Please vote for me)

Under the gaze of everyone, the curtain of the tent was opened.

The wind and rain behind him disappeared in an instant. Danzo walked into the tent with his head held high, the rain falling from his hood.

The curtain was gently closed after being opened, and the heavy rain and the noise of shouting for death outside were instantly interrupted and isolated outside the tent.

"We ran into some minor trouble along the way."

Danzo took off his raincoat and handed it to the guard beside him, revealing his bandaged right arm and said calmly: "I shouldn't be late, right?"

"You are an elder. How dare I, a junior, speak against you?"

Orochimaru stood in front of the table, narrowed his narrow eyes, and asked in a sinister manner, "But I still want to know, what kind of trouble did you encounter during the one or two days' trip that made you come so late?"

"you dare……"

Hearing this, the guard in black robes beside Danzo took a step forward. Just as he was about to say something, Danzo stopped him with his arm and shook his head: "I just encountered the ninja team from Takigakure Village who was chasing the traitorous ninja."

After that, looking at the menacing Orochimaru, Danzo asked in a calm tone: "You should know about Kagero Village, the Country of Mountains, right?"

The country of mountains, Yangyan Village?

Orochimaru frowned, as if remembering something, his eyes flickered slightly and said: "The Kingdom of Mountains between the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Grass? Kageromura is a small shinobi village in the Kingdom of Mountains, right? Senior Sakumo gave it to me Mentioned in the letter.

"It seems to be a village that is good at making and using detonating charms. Before I took over as the commander of the Rain Kingdom battlefield, it caused some more trouble for the troops led by Sakumo-senpai."

"It should be a force hostile to our Konoha, right? Does your so-called Takigakure Village have something to do with them?"

"It doesn't matter." Danzo shook his head calmly at first, but soon showed a sneer and said, "But it may matter."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Orochimaru also became interested, "What do you mean?"

Danzo was not in a hurry to explain anything, but placed a piece of information on the table and pushed it to Orochimaru across the table.

Orochimaru frowned and opened the information. After scanning it, he immediately became serious and subconsciously stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth.

"Kakuto? An immortal ninja who has lived from the Troubled Times to the present, and even took on the task of assassinating the First Lord?"

The rebellious ninja that Takigakure is chasing is an elite called "Kakuzu". He once accepted the task of assassinating the first Hokage from the top of Takigakure.

After sneaking into the Land of Fire, he started a battle with the First Hokage, risking his life for his village, but in the end he was undoubtedly defeated by the First Hokage and almost died.

After the other party fled back to the village in great embarrassment, not only did he not receive the treatment he deserved, but he also had to face charges and punishments for failing the mission.

So Kakuzu escaped from prison driven by resentment, took away the secret technique regarded as a treasure by Takigakure Village, and used it to steal the hearts of all the village's top officials. Now he has become a bounty ninja and travels around the world.

"A ninja from a small country assassinated the Shodai-sama. Unless the Shodai-sama showed mercy to that guy, or just threw a kunai a few kilometers away to test him, how could he have a chance to escape back to the village alive?"

Orochimaru was very doubtful about the authenticity of this information, but what he cared about most was the "Secret Technique: Earthly Resentment."

A ninja from a small country who is close to seventy years old can actually become a bounty ninja and be active in the ninja world. Is it related to this so-called secret technique?

"On the way here, we discovered the pursuit team in Takigakure Village, and soon realized who their target was."

Looking at Orochimaru who was thoughtful, Danzo's one eye flashed with coldness, and he said calmly: "So I asked people to imitate Kakuto's killing method, and followed them to take out the hearts of several people."

Hearing this, Orochimaru raised his eyes slightly, seeming to understand his intention, and said in surprise: "You disguised yourself as Kakuzu and led the hunting team from Takigakure Village to Kageromura?"

"No."

Danzo shook his head unexpectedly and sneered, "I also sent people to pretend to be a pursuit team from Takigakure Village and killed the family of the leader of Yangyan Village. I cut the bodies of his wife and children into pieces and sprinkled them on him. Office space.”

As soon as these words came out, the Jonin in the camp could not help grinding their teeth and expressed their deepest sympathy and compassion for the leader of Yangyan Village whom they had never met before.

Now the leader of Yangyan Village, who was carried away by anger, may have killed the hunting team of Takigakure Village.

"You..." Looking at Danzo who was not ashamed but proud, Orochimaru's eyes twitched and he subconsciously asked, "What else did you do?"

"Hmph!" Danzo looked surprised, "You actually guessed it." He snorted coldly, "The people in Takigakure Village should have received the information we provided and are organizing troops to go to Yangyan Village to retaliate."

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Orochimaru, looked at Danzo who was talking eloquently in front of them and showed indescribable complex expressions.

From a certain point of view, Takigakure and Kageromura are indeed enemies of Konoha. This wave of operations is expected to torment Kageromura half to death.

But the methods Danzo used were really too dirty.

It's worse than the third level. I've never seen anything so disgusting.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing the way everyone looked at him, Danzo frowned with dissatisfaction, "When we went to Yangyan Village, we found that they were mobilizing troops, and the target was our Konoha! "

In other words, his unintentional move was an unintentional one. It could be regarded as killing Kagero Village's plan in the cradle and helping Konoha eliminate a minor crisis.

"Elder Danzo, you are really..." Orochimaru's face wrinkled, and he carefully organized his words to say tactfully: "Among the people I have seen in the entire ninja world, you are the one with the darkest methods."

"If that doesn't work, you can call yourself the 'Ninja Darkness' from now on."

Orochimaru suddenly understood why Sarutobi-sensei sent Danzo out.

If a guy with such dirty methods is left in the village, he will definitely cause some disgusting things.

It's better to let him go. Even if he does disgusting things, others will be disgusted.

High emotional intelligence, tolerance of darkness.

Low emotional intelligence, shit stirrer.

"Um?"

Danzo did not hear the sarcasm in Orochimaru's words, but raised his eyebrows and murmured in a low voice with interest: "Ninja's Darkness? It sounds like he is indeed worthy of me."

After all, that guy Sarutobi has the title of "Professor of Ninjutsu", and as the root buried deep in the ground, he should also have a title, right?

Tolerance of darkness.

Doesn't this title sound more impressive than Ninjutsu Professor?

Thinking of this, Danzo felt that Orochimaru was more pleasing to the eye, nodded with great satisfaction and said with a smile: "Orochimaru, aren't you worried about the offensive of Sunagakure Village?"

"I happen to have a plan here that can help you solve this problem."

Orochimaru suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, an ominous premonition surged into his heart, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse directly.

If Danzo's plan was really used, he was afraid that his reputation would be ruined. What would his subordinates think of him in the future?

However, just when he was about to refuse out loud, he suddenly remembered the tense situation on the front line and swallowed his words immediately.

"..."

After a long silence, Orochimaru sighed in his heart, then raised his head to look at the jonins, and said calmly: "You guys go out first."

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, but they quickly came to their senses. Then they looked at each other, their expressions became a little weird, and they stood up and left in silence.

And the weird looks in everyone's eyes made Orochimaru twitch the corner of his mouth, and he began to regret it in his heart.

"Tell me, what's the trick...hey, what's the trick?"

Orochimaru looked at Danzo angrily and said bluntly: "The people you brought, even if they are elites, combined with all the remaining troops, it is impossible to confront Sunagakure head-on."

"The difference in military strength is too great, so we can only barely resist."

Orochimaru was actually very calm in his heart and was not happy about Danzo's support.

The severe challenges he faces now cannot be easily resolved.

"Hmph, you weren't even born when I fought!" Danzo said calmly, sitting on the chair opposite Orochimaru, "Although Sunagakure's current offensive is so fierce and crazy, the time they can last is actually very short. ”

"After all, Sunagakure is not as wealthy as us. The armaments and food they consume now are all accumulated after the village was founded."

"I say this, do you understand?"

————————

At the same time, in Dawn City in the Kingdom of Rain.

"Xiaonan, are you sure the boss is here?"

Looking at the small house of sixty or seventy square meters in front of him, Yahiko scratched his head with a tachi on his waist.

"Yes." Xiaonan nodded and said firmly, "I saw Brother Yunchuan walking in here this morning."

The long blue-purple hair rippled slightly, and the white paper flower inserted in the hair on the top of her head swayed, but it gathered together without any sign of spreading out.

"Oh, okay." Yahiko didn't think too much, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

Boom! Boom!

"Boss! It's me, boss!" He knocked on the door and shouted loudly, "That guy Nagato asked me to ask you something! I... Oops!"

Before Yahiko could continue shouting, the door was suddenly opened from inside, causing him to stumble forward and fall forward.

But before Xiao Nan could help him, he skillfully stabilized his center of gravity.

"What a risk! What a risk!"

Yahiko patted his chest and breathed a deep sigh of relief. He subconsciously looked up, but suddenly froze in place.

After entering the door, the first thing he saw was not Yunchuan, but the bookshelves filling the room and the dazzling collection of books on them.

Xiaonan turned her head to look at the window, and in her light orange pupils, she reflected a figure with her head down reading a book.

"Cuckoo!"

The white dove, whose wings have not yet washed away the night, is huddled in the nest built in the corner of the bookshelf, and is quietly preening its feathers.

Yun Chuan, on the other hand, was wearing white clothes and sitting by the window, lazily leaning on his cheek with the palm of his hand and reading a book. His face was facing the sparkling blue sky outside the window, and his dark and long eyelashes were reflected in white.

He reads at an astonishing speed. Rather than reading, he is turning the pages at random, flicking the pages with his thumb, taking an average of ten seconds per page.

It's such a quiet picture of time, and the only sounds you can hear are the turning of book pages and the flow of sunlight on your fingertips, which makes people even reluctant to interrupt.

Xiao Nan subconsciously turned to the side, and the sunlight blocked behind him reflected on Yunchuan's face. At this moment, the room seemed to become brighter, and Xiao Nan couldn't help but open his eyes slightly.

"Boss! I finally found you!"

Yahiko's voice of surprise came from beside him, which immediately interrupted Xiaonan's thoughts, and his eyes instantly turned a little resentful.

"What do you call a minor?"

Yunchuan also raised his head slightly, looked at Yahiko calmly, with a little helplessness in his tone: "The speed of strength improvement is not bad, but when can you be more stable?"

"It seems that you and Nagato are really two extremes, one is unhappy and the other is brainless, and your personalities can complement each other."

Hearing this, Yahiko immediately stood up straight and muttered unconvincedly: "Who wants to complement that guy, a red-haired, arrogant, face-paralyzed kid!"

"Oh, by the way, boss!"

As if he remembered something important, he looked at Yunchuan and asked: "Nagato said that the frequency of Sand Village borrowing roads from the Rain Country is getting higher and higher, and they are sending more and more people to the border between the Fire Country and the Rain Country!"

"Those Sand Village ninjas are not honest. When passing through the Rain Country, they often rob some villages, and the number of refugees is increasing!"

"Also, Konoha's decline in the face of Sand Village is becoming more and more obvious..."

Before Yahiko finished speaking, Yunchuan shook his head.

"Wrong." Yunchuan lowered his head again, turned the page of the book, and whispered, "Now all this is just an illusion, it's just Sunagakure's bluff."

"It was the shrewd old man Chiyo who deliberately created a false prosperity."

"Ah?" Yahiko blinked in confusion, "Why?"

The Sunagakure troops led by Chiyo have not shown any signs of decline at all. Although the losses are not small, they have pushed the Konoha troops led by Orochimaru to the border of the Land of Fire.

"I told you to read more, but you just don't read."

Yunchuan raised his eyelids slightly and said unhappily: "The military strength shown by Sunagakure is indeed not weaker than Konoha, but more troops means more resource consumption, but the supply of Sunagakure is far less than that of Konoha.

"With Konoha's terrifying resource supply speed, even if all their current resources are used up, they can still replenish more resources from the rear. "

"But the resource replenishment speed of Sand Village is such that once the existing resources are exhausted, it is simply not enough to satisfy all ninjas, and the hungry Sand Village ninjas will collapse without even fighting!"

"To put it bluntly, Chiyo is gambling now!"

Speaking of this, Yunchuan suddenly paused and smiled with interest: "But her calculations may be in vain."

When he commanded the Sky Army to attack Konoha, he did not sense the existence of Danzo.

According to the information sent by Yakushi from Konoha, Danzo may have gone to one of the two battlefields, most likely the battlefield of the Rain Country of Orochimaru.

Although Danzo's character is not very good, he has experienced the first Ninja World War. This trick can deceive Orochimaru, but it will definitely not deceive the old guy Danzo.

"Hmm." Yunchuan touched the fine lines on the cover page and whispered thoughtfully, "Now that I think about it, the best choice that Danzo and Orochimaru can think of is probably to kill with a borrowed knife and divert the trouble to the east, right? "

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle and muttered to himself: "It seems that it will get lively soon, so I'll try to get involved."

——————————

"The old guy Chiyo always likes to take risks."

"After all, you are forced to become the commander-in-chief, and you have no experience in commanding large-scale battles before, so she bets that you can't bear the psychological pressure and completely collapse before their resources are exhausted."

Listening to Danzo's clear analysis, Orochimaru's pupils shrank and whispered: "Is that so?"

In fact, as long as he calmed down a little, he could figure this out.

But Chiyo didn't give him any chance to think.

Either he was fighting the big snake in the spiritual dragon cave on the battlefield, or he was restoring his chakra after exhausting his chakra, preparing to recover completely before the next attack of Sand Village.

The string in his brain was always tense, leaving him no time to adjust and rest.

"...I'm too impatient, and I'm confused. "

Thinking through this, Orochimaru's tense body relaxed suddenly. He looked at Danzo in front of him, put away his contempt, and said in a deep voice: "Go on, what is the strategy you are talking about?"

It can't be a war of attrition with Sand Village to drag them to death, right?

Although it feels usable, the cost-effectiveness is too low and the consumption is too much.

"In this critical moment, the key to breaking the deadlock." Danzo raised his hand and touched the scar on his chin, and smiled, "Of course it lies in the Land of Rain."

"The Land of Rain?" Orochimaru frowned, and then he squinted his eyes and pondered, "You mean to pull the Hidden Rain Village into the water and let them disperse the combat power of the Hidden Sand Village?"

"Yes, just as you thought." Danzo nodded with satisfaction, "Drag the Hidden Rain Village into the battlefield between us and the Hidden Sand Village, and let the Hidden Rain Village share some of the pressure on our behalf. " Orochimaru closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. But soon, he opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "This is indeed a good idea, but the current leader of the Hidden Rain Village, the old guy named Musashi, is an extreme conservative. How could he resist the Hidden Sand Village?" If the leader of the Hidden Rain Village was a little tougher, how could the Hidden Sand Village easily invade? That guy, let alone resisting the Hidden Sand Village, even the villages in its territory were looted, and the other party could swallow this breath. It was simply too weak to be a turtle. "No, just because the old guy Musashi doesn't want to take action doesn't mean that others won't take action. "

Danzo stretched out a finger and shook it, and said with a cold smile: "In this ninja world, there will always be young people who are passionate and not afraid of death. They all can't understand Musashi's weakness, but no one has ever stood up."

"And now, the man named Hanzo has stepped forward, and his ambition is clearly revealed."

"What we have to do is give him a little push and continue to intensify the conflict between Sunagakure and Amegakure. Hanzo will naturally launch a coup and stand up to lead the hardliners to resist Sunagakure's atrocities!"

In this way, not only can the pressure and threats of Sunagakure be reduced, but the battlefield can also be moved to the Land of Rain, making the environment around Konoha more stable.

But isn’t this just a replica of Takigakure and Kageromura?

"As expected of you, Shinobi-sama, Danzo-sama."

Orochimaru's eyes twitched, and then his expression turned serious and he said: "Then do this, I need your help to completely lead the war to the Land of Rain!"

As for whether this would sacrifice the civilians of the Rain Country, and whether the civilians of the Rain Country were innocent or not, Orochimaru selectively ignored these issues.

The biggest difference between him and Jiraiya is that no matter how despicable the strategy is, as long as it can bring victory to Konoha, then he will do it at any cost.

It's just simple addition and subtraction.

Thinking of this, the cold feeling on Orochimaru's body became more intense, and his snake eyes became more like a cold-blooded animal.

"very good."

Keenly aware of this change, Danzo nodded appreciatively: "Don't worry, that's exactly why I came here."

"Gen, I will bear this darkness with you!"
