The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 217 Konoha F4 Council! Sense of crisis...

In Konoha Village, the Nine-Tails incident was a huge incident that could not be concealed.

The news quickly spread that someone had taken advantage of the Jinchūriki's weakness during childbirth to release the Nine-Tails from her body, causing a large number of casualties.

The attacker is suspected to be a master of the Uchiha clan.

After all, many people saw the Sharingan magatama reflected in the Nine-Tails' eyes that night.

This also put the Uchiha clan directly at the center of the storm, and everyone in the clan was holding their breath.

At this time, news came that something had also happened in the Sand Village.

In the Sand Village, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki Bonfuku was defeated and captured by a man in a red cloud and black robe in order to protect the villagers.

There were four attackers in total, and the main attackers were two red-haired teenagers.

The older one is unidentified.

The younger one was confirmed to be Scorpion of the Red Sand, the grandson of Advisor Chiyo of the Sand Village.

This attack also revealed an incredible truth, that is: the Third Kazekage who had been missing for several years was actually killed by Scorpion!

The Third Kazekage, who was transformed into a human puppet, used magnetic escape this time to suppress and beat the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa!

Demonstrated quite outstanding ability.

"This is really an eventful time."

In the Hokage's office, F4 gathered, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was temporarily in power, sighed heavily at this time.

"That's a good thing, Hiruzen.

Although the Sand Village was defeated by us in the battle of Mount Kikyo a year ago, most of its manpower was lost in that battle, and they were forced to sign an unequal alliance with us; but the foundation is still there. If they are given ten years of rest, they can easily raise a ninja army of tens of thousands. By then, the alliance signed between us and them may not be valid, and we don't know what weird things will happen again.

It is different now.

This time, they lost their One-Tailed Jinchūriki and were severely damaged by the attackers, suffering heavy losses; among the five major ninja villages, the Sand Village is probably the weakest."

Utane Koharu laughed.

Mitomon En also nodded:
"It's a good thing indeed. We in Konoha have just experienced the Third Ninja World War, where we faced four major ninja villages from four major countries at the same time. We also suffered heavy losses from the Nine-Tails Rebellion a few days ago. We are most afraid of someone taking advantage of us. With what happened in Sand Village, even if Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Mist Village want to take advantage of the situation, they will not target Konoha."

Everyone knows that you should pick the softest persimmons.

Compared to Konoha Village, Sand Village is obviously easier to bully.

"That's true, but we, Konoha, have signed an alliance with Sunagakure after all. It's morally wrong to abandon our allies. There won't be many countries and villages willing to sign an alliance with us in the future."

The Konoha Village is a large and powerful place, so they must pay more attention to their reputation.

This is what Sarutobi Hiruzen considered.

Li Xia secretly thought it was pedantic.

Just as he was about to say something, the Sandaime in front of him spoke first:

"Danzo, can the Root prevent the Sand Village envoys from entering the Land of Fire?"

What do you mean?
"Hiruzen, you want to kill those messengers halfway, so that even if the Sand Village is really in big trouble, we will have an excuse to shirk responsibility, right?"

Mizuto Menen touched the beard on his chin.

"Ah."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded:

"But the Sand Village's envoy must die outside the Land of Fire! Otherwise, people will still criticize him."

It is not convenient for his direct Anbu to do this, as it will damage his image.

It would be just right for Danzo and the Root to do this.

There are many examples of the Root pretending to be spies of other countries and doing bad things. At least it's more than eight or ten times. And if there are casualties in the Root, the one who will feel the most distressed will never be him, the Hokage.

In response, Li Xia blinked.

He finally understood what Danzo and the Root meant to the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The old man is quite comfortable using this pair of white gloves.

“I will have Ryoma and the others go to the border of River Country and keep an eye on it. If they find that the Sand Village has arranged for envoys to come, they will make them disappear.

By the way, what about the Uchiha clan?

Fugaku was fine, he had been trying hard to control his clansmen; but Uchiha Setsuna was a bit too much, and actually proposed to recall the Uchiha active in the eastern defense line at the clan meeting. Wasn't he aware of the tension in the eastern region? Didn't he know that Kirigakure was still ruthless?
This kind of behavior that disregards the overall interests of the village, I think it is necessary to send him to Konoha Prison for a while."

"He probably wants to let the village know the power and importance of the Uchiha. Without the Uchiha, the Eastern War Zone, where small-scale frictions often occur, may not be able to remain stable."

"Humph, I don't believe that without the Uchiha, the eastern region will be in trouble. Intelligence shows that the small group of troops from Kirigakure are shrinking their front lines and preparing to retreat to the Land of Water. Obviously, the Third Mizukage and that old ghost Yuanshi are not going to continue to increase the casualties on both sides because they can't get any advantage."

"Beware of deception..."

"The Third Mizukage doesn't have that kind of intelligence. He himself is a user of the Ice Release bloodline, but he created the Blood Mist Village, just to cultivate more high-end combat power close to the Kage level. Unfortunately, although the idea is good, it has little effect. Dai's outburst almost made the Seven Ninja Swordsmen he formed a joke.

Are you using my Konoha to train your troops?

Is he worthy of the Hidden Mist Village?"

Li Xia really looked down on the Third Mizukage.

The Hidden Mist Village played a good hand badly.

Originally, the huge Kirigakure Village had many bloodline limits such as Ice Release, Melt Release, and Corpse Veins, and was the village with the second-best bloodline power after Konoha Village. Its potential was second among the five great ninja villages.

Because of this guy's exclusion of dissidents, many of the Kirigakure's bloodline families declined.

After a few years, when this guy is dead, the Snow Clan, who possesses the power of Ice Release, will be affected immediately. At that time, the newly appointed Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, will be controlled by Uchiha Obito with the Mangekyō Sharingan, and then, using the "Blood Mist Village" policy created by the Third Mizukage as an excuse, he will intensify the suppression and persecution of the Bloodline Clan.

This is what happened to the Snow Clan, to which the Third Mizukage belonged.

He dug a hole for himself and buried his own family.

"Danzo, don't underestimate that person, he has great ambitions. In addition, Kirigakure has indeed produced many excellent ninjas recently, such as Mei Terumi, who has two bloodline abilities, Xiguashan Pufferfish, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and Ao, who took away a Byakugan from the Hyuga clan..."

"No matter how big your ambition is, you still need a life to carry it. I think the Third Generation Water Shadow's Yin Tang will turn black, and there will be a bloody disaster within three years."

Li Xia sneered.

The original work did not say whether it was Uchiha Obito who killed the Third Hokage and then supported Karatachi Yagura to become the Fourth Hokage.

If not, then he can just make it so:

"As for the outstanding young generation of Kirigakure? I believe that the young generation in Konoha is even more outstanding.

Hiruzen, En, Koharu, we must deal with the Uchiha clan as soon as possible. I have a bad feeling that the capture of the One-Tail Jinchuriki is definitely not that simple. We must solve the internal problems and then unite to face the outside world. "

The incident in the Sand Village made him sense a sense of crisis.

The red sand Scorpion in the red cloud and black robe, isn't he a member of Akatsuki? At this time, Scorpion shouldn't have joined Akatsuki, nor should he have attacked the Sand Village to capture the One-Tailed Fox. Since the Akatsuki behind Scorpion had arrived earlier, and was acting together with another red-haired youth who was even more dangerous...

No matter how I look at it, something seems wrong.

"Isn't the Sunagakure incident this time just their own family affair? Is there any hidden secret?"

"Family affairs? Xiaochun, don't be fooled by superficial things. The people in red cloud and black robe attacked Sand Village for the One-Tail. It's not a personal vendetta at all. Since they attacked the One-Tail, will the next be the Two-Tail, the Three-Tail, or even the Nine-Tail of our Konoha?"

Li Xia speculated.

The three of them were shocked when they heard this:
"Danzo, what do you mean?"

"That red-haired young man is, unsurprisingly, Nagato whom I met in the Land of Rain a few months ago! The girl among the four is Konan!

Since the legendary Rinnegan is known as the first of the three major eye techniques, it must be stronger than the Sharingan and even the Mangekyō Sharingan. The Mangekyō can control the Nine-Tails, so why can't the Rinnegan?

I suspect they want to collect the nine tailed beasts!
I'm afraid this is just the beginning!"

"this…"

The three of them looked at each other.

"Monitor the situation of all the Chuuriki in each village. I hope my guess is wrong."

Li Xia said with some teeth sour.

As the second adapter of the Rinnegan, Nagato was chosen by Uchiha Madara as the spokesperson, and his high talent is unquestionable.

Madara is very good at judging people's talents.

One is Uzumaki Nagato, and the other is Uchiha Obito.

'Is it the maintainer?'

He was able to think of a way to restore his legs and start collecting tailed beasts to cause trouble so early. It doesn't make sense that he is not a maintainer.

At this point in time, they began hunting the tailed beasts held by the major ninja villages, which was a clear deviation from the original trajectory.

But I have to say that the other party chose a perfect time.

The five major countries and their surrounding countries had just experienced the trauma of the Third Ninja World War. The five major ninja villages, including Konoha Village, had suffered heavy losses.

The Sand Village lost the Third Kazekage, the Scorch Release Yekura and other powerful figures, and lost tens of thousands of Sand Villagers.

The Hidden Cloud Village lost the Third Raikage, a tough guy who could fight the Eight-Tails in a one-on-one fight, and also lost a lot of elite Cloud Ninjas.

The members of the Iwagakure blasting team suffered heavy losses, and several bloodline masters such as the Bakuton Hunter died in the battle. The losses of tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninjas who surrounded and killed the Third Raikage were also not small. They also suffered heavy losses in the face of the later rising Namikaze Minato. They are a little short of successors.

Because of Konoha's Might Guy, Kirigakure lost four of its proud Seven Ninja Swordsmen. The other three were traumatized, and one of them even disappeared and never returned to Kirigakure. They just couldn't do it anymore. You know, these were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who were known for being able to surround and kill Kage-level warriors. The loss of the ninja army can be seen from the death of the Sand Village hero, Hagura.

As for Konoha, one village fought against four villages. Just think about how difficult and stressful the process was. In terms of high-end combat power, Konoha lost Might Dai, who was able to explode. A few days ago, due to the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina were also lost.

At least on the surface, Kushina was sacrificed.

This means that the new Jinchūriki will not be able to control the battlefield.

There is no doubt that Konoha's overall losses were greater than any of the other four major ninja villages.

At this critical juncture, it is absolutely most appropriate for Nagato to take action!

none of them!

Postponing the hunting of the tailed beasts until more than ten years in the future is completely Obito's fault.

The 14-year-old Obito felt that he could not suppress the 19-year-old Nagato who possessed the Rinnegan, and that he needed time to grow, so he tried every means to trick Nagato, who had great fighting power but a somewhat low IQ.

"Do you need to alert the other villages?"

"No, first call Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade back to the village to strengthen the village's defenses; if possible, choose the Fifth Hokage from among the three of them as soon as possible."

He will set off for Takigakure immediately.

Let's see who's faster.

The other otsumura just helped him measure the current strength level of the maintainers.

On the way, he went to the underground cave in the Land of Grass to inherit part of the inheritance left by Uchiha Madara to Obito.

Those are all good things.
