Chapter 402 402 The Third Ninja War Against Konoha
"My body is almost reaching its limit. Next, I must rely on the power of the heretic demon to maintain my life. I will leave the Kirigakure to you."
Madara stood up and said, holding on to the scythe he used as a crutch.
Izuna walked over, held Madara's shoulders, and the two of them moved to the grotto on the northern border of the Land of Fire in an instant.
…
…
November 38, Konoha.
In the adjacent area between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire.
It has been more than three months since the Konoha army led by Tsunade and the Sunagakure army led by Chiyo started fighting again.
During this period, Chiyo continued to create new poisons to close the gap in combat power between the two sides.
Tsunade, on the other hand, kept researching new antidotes, making Chiyo marvel at the terrifying medical talent of this girl in her early twenties.
But even so, the situation Tsunade faced didn't change much.
As time goes by, the news of Quanna's death has become increasingly difficult to conceal.
The death of Hokage, who was the strongest in the ninja world, was a huge blow to the Konoha ninjas.
In the previous ninja wars, the reason why Konoha ninjas were able to fight to the death with such high morale was because they knew that [Ninja Pupil Emperor] Uchiha Izuna was standing behind them.
As long as he is here, Konoha will never lose.
With this kind of mentality, the Konoha Ninja Army can double their morale in every battle and display higher excitement than the enemy.
But once Izuna died, the Konoha ninjas lost a pillar in their hearts.
Morale is low and not what it used to be.
After these three months, almost all countries believe that the news of "Uchiha Izuna's death" is true.
Other countries have also taken action.
The second one to take action was the Amegakure Village led by Sanshouyu Hanzo, who was killed by Izuna just a year ago!
The leader of this village now is the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki "Haei".
He is good at the six-tailed blood inheritance limit - Melting Release.
After Sanshouyu Hanzo, he took over the responsibility of being in charge of Amegakure.
Although the relationship between Sanshou and Hanzo is not very good.
But the war a year ago and the grudge against Konoha must be resolved.
When it was almost certain that Uchiha Izuna was dead, Haei, as the head of a village, personally led a thousand Amegakure army, violating the national treaty.
At an unexpected speed, they attacked the northwest border of the Fire Country.
This move angered the daimyo of the Fire Country, Tsunade's father, Senju Tomokazu.
Because what Yugakure did was a blatant violation of the surrender treaty signed previously.
In response, Hiruzen Sarutobi took the initiative to ask for a battle, and together with his nephew Kosuke Sarutobi, they led two thousand Konoha ninja troops to meet the enemy.
Although the six-tailed jinchuriki Yuying is a jinchuriki, he can use part of the six-tailed power.
But his control of Vulpix is far less perfect than that of Kirabi in the future.
Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen, the future doctor of the ninja world, and Konoha's army twice as big as his own.
Still feeling very strenuous.
However, what is absolutely unexpected is that Amegakure and Konoha had just bumped into each other.
The Kingdom of Earth behind the Kingdom of Rain can no longer sit still!
Once again, they hired the Akatsuki organization.
A group of people, led by Uchiha Kagami, blocked Amegakure's possible counterattack.
A large force captured a main official road in the Rain Country. After occupying it, they launched a massive attack on Konoha!
Their target is also the Country of Fire.
At this time, the Fire Nation began to face tremendous pressure.
They have to deal with three ninja villages at once!
Iwagakure! Yuyin! Sunagakure!
Even the Fire Nation itself could not have imagined that Quan Na's death would have such serious consequences.
It was like a sheepfold that had lost the protection of hunters and was suddenly besieged by many hungry wolves that had coveted it for a long time.
In the face of the crisis, many of Konoha's wealthy families had no choice but to let go of their past estrangements and rivalry over the competition for the position of the next Hokage.
United for now.
The armies of the Uchiha, Shimura, and Hatake clans immediately prepared to go to the front line to reinforce Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Just when the reinforcements were preparing to set off.
As the captain of the ANBU, Konoha White Fang found the current leader of the Shimura clan - Shimura Danzo!
"Lord Danzo, we hope you can give a reasonable explanation, otherwise according to Konoha's criminal law, we can execute you on the spot."
White Fang was dressed in ANBU attire, followed by several ANBU jounin, and said to Shimura Danzo in the room in an indifferent tone.
Because the other person was still a generation older than him, White Fang still used the honorific title.
However, facing this master who is the captain of the ANBU and the peak Kage level powerhouse, and is also one of the most powerful candidates for the next Hokage.
Danzo Shimura, who was getting ready to go to the front line, showed no trace of panic on his expression and responded calmly, "What's the matter? White Fang, I'm very busy now and I have to rush to the front line for reinforcements as soon as possible."
"Please stop pretending. Our ANBU has investigated and found out that the person who leaked the news about the death of the Third Hokage Izuna six months ago was your ninja."
White Fang said coldly: "According to the Sandaime-sama's decree, anyone who leaks this matter will be executed!"
In the final analysis, it was because of Izuna's death that such a large-scale war was triggered.
White Fang also understood that it was precisely because Senna saw through this that he asked him and others not to hold a state funeral for his death, but to keep it secret.
Danzo's behavior is no different from "treason".
"Oh? It can only be said that I am not strict in discipline. Let these juniors be handled by ANBU. What do you mean by asking me?"
Shimura Danzo still said in a cold tone.
"Are you kidding? You old fool!"
An ANBU ninja next to White Fang shouted angrily: "Those bastards are all dead soldiers you trained. Without your order, how could they have the courage?"
Under the eye holes of the mask, those scarlet eyes are the Sharingan!
"Watch your tone, Uchiha brat!"
Shimura Danzo said coldly, "Now that Uchiha Izuna is dead, there is no room for you Uchiha to show off your authority! If you want to arrest me, you'd better produce evidence."
This can be said to be "there are no tigers in the mountains, but the monkey is the king."
Izuna is dead, and Shimura Danzo simply doesn't even add the word "sir".
During the more than ten years when Uchiha Izuna was in power, Sarutobi Shimura was constantly suppressed, and Shimura Danzo had been holding back his resentment for too long.
"You bastard!"
This Uchiha ANBU ninja was so furious that he wanted to draw his sword and attack in the next second.
However, a hand stopped him.
The Uchiha ANBU ninja turned his head in shock and looked at White Fang who stopped him, "Captain?"
"calm down!"
White Fang scolded.
Shimura Danzo sneered: "Not to mention that you have no evidence, under the current circumstances, can you arrest me? White Fang."
