Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 229 How Misunderstandings Are Formed

"Ms. Quan, have you missed me after not seeing me for over a month?"

After dealing with the two naughty and rebellious girls, Tamura Hao once again came to the room where Shimura Izumi was imprisoned, still with that signature gentle smile on his face.

Just like Mr. Sa before he turned evil.

"Of course I do. I miss your blood, your flesh, your internal organs, and everything about you."

Still with that silly and creepy smile, Izumi Shimura did not succumb to the restrictions of the Eight Thousand Spears Mark. He always wanted to eat that damn bastard, savor his flesh and blood, and let him die in endless pain and despair.

"wrong answer!"

His expression changed, and Tamura Hao walked over and held the smooth cheek again, using the Tsukuyomi technique to direct and act out a new script.

Izumi Shimura had long been accustomed to this and always maintained his own will and consciousness.

She would never give in to this bastard, not even if she died.

It's a pity that the body's reaction is unavoidable, but fortunately she has a thicker version of the patch, so she can last longer.

After directing and acting in a script of his own, Tamura Hao looked at Shimura Izumi who had not changed much and felt that he had to change his approach.

Although he could keep this woman locked up forever, it would be difficult to explain to Lord Danzo.

“Next we will go to the Sand Village to provide support. Although it is not in the Sand Village, it is there after all.

Shinnosuke-kun is imprisoned there, do you want to rescue him, Ms. Izumi?"

Looking at Shimura Izumi who still had that creepy smile on his face, Tamura Hao decided to have some fun with him.

Moreover, the progress of the fusion between Izumi Shimura and the modified Sanbi has reached a limit, but it is also stuck. If they want to complete the final fusion, they have to find a way to provide deeper stimulation.

"What do you want to do?"

When he heard the name he had been thinking about day and night, a hint of coldness appeared on Shimura Izumi's face, and a hint of madness emerged in the depths of his eyes.

That was a taboo in her heart, and she would never allow that bastard to hurt Shinnosuke-kun.

“I have received news that Shinnosuke-kun betrayed Shimura Danzo’s information to the Sand Village, including information about the Root.

The news that Danzo Shimura was secretly conducting experiments on Wood Release and the Sharingan had spread throughout the ninja world. There was a lot of resentment towards this in Konoha, and even the Senju clan proposed to remove Danzo Shimura from the list of candidates for the Fourth Hokage.

It will be interesting to rescue Shinnosuke and bring him back to Konoha. I wonder if your father and the Third Hokage can still get along well. "

With an evil little expression on his face, Tamura Hao was looking forward to this very much. He really wanted to see Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen getting divorced... no, breaking up, or even becoming enemies.

"You won't succeed!"

After a long silence, Shimura Izumi finally showed determination. She would definitely stop this bastard's conspiracy.

"Then we'll see!"

After pinching the smooth face, Tian Cun Hao turned and left with an evil and crazy smile.

He really wanted to see what choice Sarutobi Shinnosuke would make. He had already informed Yekura that the person who kidnapped Karatachi Yagura was most likely Danzo Shimura, and Yekura had also reported the information back to the Sand Village, thinking that it would bring a surprise.

Tamura Hao's guess was correct. After receiving the information sent back by Ye Cang, the Third Kazekage went to the prison in person to interrogate Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

"I have told you all the information I know."

Seeing the cold expression of the Third Kazekage, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was puzzled.

He has been imprisoned here for the past few years, and his body has been injected with the special toxin of the Sand Village for a long time, making it impossible for him to refine chakra.

It was only last time that he was persuaded by the Sunagakure and handed over the information about Shimura Danzo and the Root, which allowed him to gain a certain degree of freedom and reduce the amount of drugs injected.

Although it is impossible to extract chakra in large quantities, it does not hinder practice, including physical exercise. The food has also improved a lot, and the body has recovered well.

But now the other party came with such an expression, it was obvious that he had no good intentions.

"That's not all. Our latest intelligence is that Danzo Shimura can cast a 100-meter-long Susanoo, and single-handedly suppress the Three-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Mist Village and capture it.

At the same time, his daughter Izumi Shimura had previously obtained the Three-Tails' chakra and was able to transform into a form similar to the Three-Tails.

You didn't mention these key points, and we in Sand Village lost a group of excellent ninjas."

The Third Kazekage was very afraid in his heart because the power held by Shimura Danzo was too strong and he had been pretending all along.

The size of Susanoo alone is not weaker than the tailed beasts, not to mention that they have been experimenting with Wood Release, so it is possible that they still have Wood Release power.

Now that he has three tails, he is even more difficult to deal with.

Even if they burst out with all their strength, their front line would collapse instantly.

"Has the research on roots progressed to that stage?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was shocked, he really didn't know this.

He only knew that Danzo Shimura's Root was secretly conducting research on the Sharingan and the first generation cells, but he was not sure to what extent.

Before being captured, he had only seen Danzo Shimura use the transplanted three-magatama Sharingan, but it could only be used to amplify physical and sword techniques, and the actual improvement was not that great, let alone Susanoo.

The Third Kazekage stared at the young man opposite him seriously, as if he wanted to see through his entire soul.

It was a while before he spoke again, his tone still cold.

"Do you have anything else to say? If not, you will return to your original life. You will have the chance to get out only when your father signs a truce to redeem you."

This is a bargaining chip, and Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely find a way to rescue it or redeem it.

As for rescue, they have made careful arrangements to ensure that the people they send will never return.

If it is redeemed, you can take the opportunity to gain more benefits from Konoha, such as some forbidden techniques and secret skills.

But he hoped to know more information from him, in all aspects.

"That's all I know about Shimura Danzo and the Root, but Orochimaru is very talented and capable in scientific research. Perhaps he helped Shimura Danzo speed up his research and thus gain powerful strength."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't say much more, the only ones who could say anything were Danzo Shimura and the Root.

Because at this stage, Danzo Shimura and the Root are his father's competitors and even enemies.

He was well aware of Danzo Shimura's desire for the position of Hokage. Now that he had the opportunity to compete, he had great strength and was so patient. The threat he posed was too great.

Because of this, he betrayed Danzo Shimura and the Root information only after confirming the information provided by the Sand Village.

He wanted to use this to weaken Danzo Shimura.

"Give him a full dose of drugs, lock him up in the deepest place, and keep him under strict guard. No one is allowed to get close to him."

Seeing that Sarutobi Shinnosuke still didn't say anything, the Third Kazekage snorted coldly and gave orders to the Anbu ninja behind him.

He didn't expect Sarutobi Shinnosuke to reveal more information. He came here just to see the other party's reaction so that he could make some judgments.

After saying that, he stood up and went back to the Fengying Building.

"Ye Cang also knows how to hide her strength. It seems that she has some thoughts about this position."

Picking up a piece of information, the Third Kazekage confirmed that the Scorch Release user of their Sand Village also wanted to become the Fourth Kazekage.

He placed people in the support team that Ye Cang brought with him, and saw the full strength that Ye Cang displayed on the battlefield over there.

The peak combat power and chakra amount he displayed were far beyond anything he had ever displayed before, and it was obvious that he had been hiding his strength before.

It was because the battle over there was too brutal that they had to burst out with all their strength, otherwise they would have been kept in the dark.

He was not satisfied with this concealing behavior and strength. Moreover, Ye Cang's strength had surpassed his own, unless he could cultivate into the Sage Mode.

Although Ye Cang is very outstanding, he does not want to pass the position of Kazekage to Ye Cang. The main reason is that Ye Cang is not a member of his own faction, and passing the position of Shadow to someone outside the faction is a taboo.

Look at how much killing there was in the Hidden Mist Village. After so many years of confrontation, the Hidden Mist Village was devastated. The last wave of coup d'état and rebellion dealt a heavy blow to the Hidden Mist Village, and it took several years to recover.

Not to mention that Ye Cang was born into a ninja clan. Although there are not many strong people in the Shokutun clan at this stage, it is a large ninja clan after all.

Once Ye Cang becomes the Fourth Kazekage, his family will inevitably rise in power, thus disrupting the current stable distribution of interests in the village, and eventually leading to internal strife and chaos, or even a coup d'état and rebellion like the one in the Hidden Mist Village.

That was not what he wanted to see. For the stability of the Sand Village, the fourth generation could only be his disciple Rasa.

Magnetic escape comes from the One-Tail, and it is a newly appeared bloodline limit, and it is not even stable. For example, my own magnetic escape controls iron sand, Rasa's magnetic escape controls gold sand, and the One-Tail controls sand.

Luo Sha has not yet formed a family, let alone a ninja clan. He can perfectly integrate into his own faction and is the best candidate.

Now a more outstanding and powerful Ye Cang has appeared, which makes him very embarrassed.

"I hope you can recognize yourself, the situation of the village and the ninja world, and make a wise choice in the coming war."

Finally, he let go of the information and hoped that Ye Cang could figure everything out and give up his desire for the position of Kazekage.

Konoha is too strong. Not only does it have a strong and profound foundation, it also possesses the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails, and it is also home to many geniuses.

He is already wary of the strength and means that Minato Namikaze currently possesses, not to mention that he can grow further in the future.

Although Konoha seemed to have lost the last war on the peninsula, it obtained the Three-Tails and the Four-Tails. With Konoha's foundation, it is completely possible to create the Three-Tails Jinchuriki and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.

Including the two Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, there are four of them in total, far exceeding the Sand Village.

In this situation, the appearance of a young and strong man like Ye Cang will be more beneficial to Sunagakure, but it is also very dangerous. I hope Ye Cang himself can figure it out.

In addition, the Hidden Cloud Village is also very powerful. Although it is much inferior to Konoha, it has great potential and is also stronger than their Sunagakure.

Thinking about the two major ninja villages, he felt a headache and fatigue.

“I hope the next decisive battle will have a good result.”

Looking at the support request sent by the Hidden Cloud Village, the Third Kazekage knew that their decisive battle was about to come.

Konoha and the Fire Nation will not allow them to truly occupy the River Nation, let alone the subsequent plan to transform all the rivers in the River Nation.

Therefore, there will inevitably be a decisive battle, and Konoha's true strength will be revealed at that time, which may be more tragic than the previous war on the peninsula.

The future of the Sand Village depends on this battle.

"It's a pity that Ye Cang and Luo Sha can't create a spark of love, otherwise it wouldn't be a headache if they could become a couple."

His thoughts turned to Ye Cang again and the Third Kazekage sighed.

If those two could become husband and wife, all worries and problems would disappear, and Ye Cang and his family would become Luo Sha's helpers.

Pity!
Not to mention the sad expression on the Third Kazekage's face, on the other side, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was imprisoned in the deepest part of the dungeon, was injected with the complete version of the drug. He was once again unable to refine chakra, and even his muscles became numb and weak.

In this state, one cannot even practice, let alone fight.

However, Sarutobi Shinnosuke did not pay much attention to this. He was thinking about the information that the Third Kazekage had told him before. Given the Third Kazekage's status and position, as well as the current situation, there should be no need to deceive himself.

In other words, Danzo Shimura really mastered Susanoo and developed it to an incredible level.

He even got three tails, which caused trouble.

After thinking about this for several days, the Sand Ninja in charge of guarding came to deliver meals as usual. Compared with before, the food given now was much worse. There was only a bowl of water and a dry and hard pancake, which could only guarantee that they would not starve to death.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't care. He took the pancake and water from the small window of the iron gate, knelt down and ate them slowly.

But he soon realized something was wrong. There was something in the pancake. He took it out and unfolded it, and found that it was a piece of tough talisman paper with a sealing spell on it.

This discovery made Sarutobi Shinnosuke stunned for a moment, and then he continued to eat the cake with water.

After he finished chewing, he came to a corner that could not be seen from the iron gate, took out the small piece of talisman paper and tore it into pieces.

With an imperceptible sound, a finger-sized Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared. It was a miniature shadow clone he specially made. It did not have much chakra and could not even release ninjutsu, but it was enough to convey messages.

"father!"

Seeing that familiar figure, Sarutobi Shinnosuke wanted to cry.

God bless him, he had been in deep despair since he was captured, especially after he realized he was no longer a complete man.

"Why cry!"

The shadow clone scolded in dissatisfaction. As the son of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he could not cry, let alone shed tears.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke finally held back his tears, and hope rose in his heart.

Dad finally came to save me, instead of being redeemed in humiliation.

If he were to be redeemed in humiliation and carry this stain, he would never be able to compete for the position of Hokage again.

There was no way for me to escape, so I could only wait for my father to rescue me.

"Father has already mastered the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation. He has killed some ninjas from the Sand Village and resurrected them. Now he has made all the arrangements.

Later, I will control those people to use detonating tags to create chaos in the Sand Village, and your grandfather will come to help you escape.

The pancake you ate contains the antidote. When you get out, run east immediately. There is a large ninja hawk from the Sand Village. It has been controlled by someone arranged by my father. You can use it to fly out..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's shadow clone jumped onto his son's shoulder and whispered the rescue plan in his ear.

As early as after he mastered the Impure World Reincarnation, he began to plan the rescue of his son. Only by rescuing his son could he have a real decisive battle with the Sand Village.

The Third Kazekage's arrangement here is indeed very careful, but it is only aimed at external enemies. He can rely on the Impure World Reincarnation ninjas of the Sand Village to break through from the inside. This time he sent in this miniature shadow clone.

The reason for choosing today is that a sandstorm is sweeping towards the Sand Village.

Faced with that kind of natural disaster, even the ninjas of the Sand Village had to take shelter temporarily. Even if the Sand Village discovered that their son had escaped, it would be difficult for them to track him down.

"Uncle Danzo really mastered Susanoo as powerful as Uchiha Madara, and stole the Three-Tails. Is he trying to create a Three-Tails Jinchuriki? Is it Izumi?"

After his father finished explaining the rescue plan, Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but ask the questions in his mind.

"Did the Sand Village tell you this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's shadow clone understood that this must have been said deliberately by the Sand Village in order to disturb his son's mind and facilitate subsequent interrogation.

"The Third Kazekage said so himself."

Like his father, Sarutobi Shinnosuke does not want Shimura Danzo to become too powerful, either in terms of his own strength or the roots under his command.

Otherwise, Danzo Shimura would definitely not be willing to be the Hokage's assistant, as he wanted the position of Hokage more.

"It's all true. Shimura Danzo stole the Sharingan power that the Uchiha family had accumulated for thousands of years. He might have absorbed that accumulation to develop Susanoo to that level.

The Three-Tails Jinchuriki was indeed captured by him. Koizumi had previously sealed a small Three-Tails left by the Second Generation's teacher. It is possible that Danzo had been plotting against the Three-Tails of the Hidden Mist Village at that time. Even Koizumi may not be as simple as we see him. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen was deeply wary of the old friend, whose schemes were too deep. He had underestimated him in the past, and even underestimated his future daughter-in-law.

Danzo had obviously been planning to capture the Three-Tails for a long time, so sealing the little Three-Tails in Koizumi must have been to allow him to adapt to the Three-Tails' chakra in advance and prepare to become the true Three-Tails Jinchūriki.

This can also explain why Koizumi was so repulsive to Danzo, but still carried the little three-tailed beast. Obviously, the relationship between father and daughter is not as bad as it seems, and it is even possible that they are pretending.

Since the plan was so elaborate, Koizumi must support Shimura Danzo. I have been deceived by that girl before.

"spring……"

His lips trembled, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't want to believe that this was true. Could it be that Izumi had been deceiving himself all along?

"Forget about her. Koizumi is no longer the same Koizumi as before."

Sighing, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want his son to continue dating Shimura Izumi, otherwise he would be betrayed in the future. Their Sarutobi family didn't need a young lady who was so cunning and scheming, or even the future wife of the clan leader.

Moreover, Koizumi has changed more and more. The way he looked the last time they met made him feel creepy. Obviously, that was Koizumi's true face, which he had hidden too well before.

"I know, Dad!"

Swallowing hard, Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded, but his fists were clenched tightly.

Had he really been deceived all along?
If this is true, then what I did before has become a joke, especially the final scene where I risked my life to give away the fountain, which was even more stupid and ridiculous.

"Don't think too much. Your mission now is to escape and go home. Your mother and I are waiting for you."

After saying words of comfort, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hands and formed a seal to dissolve the small shadow clone, transmitting the memory fragments back to his original body.

The next step is to wait for the sandstorm to sweep into the Sand Village, and then we can officially start the rescue plan.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know was that his every move was being monitored by a Black Zetsu clone, which immediately passed the information to Tamura Hao.
