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

Chapter 234 Ichiraku Lunch Box

After spending two months of comfortable and shameless life on the peninsula, Tamura Hao finally went to the Kingdom of Rivers with everyone else.

Because the rivers on the Kawanokuni side are all outflowing and have many turbulent sections, it is impossible to go up by boat and you can only land and walk.

Fortunately, we are all ninjas and are good at traveling on foot.

Even the Iwagakure ninjas, who were known for their short legs, showed amazing endurance and arrived at the Sand Village's camp here on the second day after landing. This was the former Kikyoyama Castle. It has not only been repaired by the Sand Village, but has also been expanded and reinforced a lot. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a mountain castle.

Similarly, the Konoha front 400 kilometers away also welcomed many new faces.

The coalition forces of the four villages gathered here, and Konoha naturally could not ignore it.

The brutal battle on the peninsula before made them feel extremely stressed. Now the daimyo of the four major countries have already ordered the dispatch of their samurai corps to cooperate in the battle, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to divide up the Fire Country.

No one can resist the temptation of expanding territory, but the main reason why the daimyos of the four major countries made such a decision was the mysterious death of the daimyos of the Land of Fire and the succession of the new daimyos.

Although there didn't seem to be any big problem on the surface, they found some clues through their investigation, all pointing to Konoha's Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Now the daimyos of the four major countries can no longer sit still. They were already dissatisfied with the emergence of the ninja village era. It was a helpless compromise. Now the ninja village's shadow has begun to interfere in the replacement of the daimyos and even plotted against the daimyos.

This cannot be tolerated in any way. Konoha must be destroyed, and the intensity of the war must be increased, causing the major ninja villages to be further depleted. Only then can they feel at ease.

"Why doesn't Hiruzen come here and destroy the four-village coalition? He is the one who caused this matter, but he didn't deal with it and asked me to do it instead. He also only sent you guys here. What can you do?"

After reading the contents of the scroll, Danzo Shimura was so angry that he threw it in Jiraiya's face.

The content on the scroll was very simple. It instructed me to attack and destroy the coalition forces of the four villages before they could gain a foothold here.

It's easy to say, but it's impossible to do.

Even if he used Dark Wood Release and Dark Susanoo with all his strength, he would not be able to defeat the coalition of four villages, not to mention the Third Raikage who could arrive at any time.

Given the strength displayed by the Third Raikage in the final battle in the Land of Hot Springs, his chances of winning would not be much.

Unless the Phoenix can completely integrate the transplanted bloodline limits, but that is difficult.

The main reason is that the Byakugan secretly obtained in that battle were not of very good quality, and the pupil power was very weak. Although they were fused, it will take a long time to adjust.

As for the three tails he obtained, he has already fed them to Hei Lian, and they cannot be moved lightly.

Orochimaru seems to have made some breakthroughs in his research, but the snake is hiding very deeply and it is impossible for him to expose his strength for this war.

So the task was simply impossible to accomplish.

Jiraiya was also helpless after being turned down. He knew the pressure here, but there was nothing he could do now.

"The teacher wants Danzo-sama to become the new Three-Tails Jinchuriki as soon as possible. This is a sealing technique suitable for sealing the Three-Tails."

Take off the scroll on your back, which your teacher asked you to bring.

Konoha already had most of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, even forbidden techniques like the Shikigami Fuujin, so naturally there was a sealing technique suitable for sealing the Three-Tails.

The Three-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Mist Village was captured by Danzo Shimura, who used this opportunity to create a new Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

In addition, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Minato is enough to resist even if he cannot kill the four-village coalition. It is even possible to destroy it if there is a chance.

"Which eye of yours saw that I have three tails?"

The one-eyed man stared at Jiraiya and the others. Danzo Shimura would not admit that he was the one who captured the Three-Tails. Moreover, the Three-Tails was really gone now. It was swallowed by the Black Lotus and was being digested.

Being stared at like that by Shimura Danzo, Mitarai Shishao and the others all looked down, indicating that it had nothing to do with them.

They were only ordered to come and fight, and didn't want to get involved in other matters.

"Master Danzo, it's time to hide. If we don't defeat the four-village coalition, not only Konoha but the entire Land of Fire may be destroyed."

Jiraiya felt helpless and annoyed. Why were these people so crazy?

Is the position of Hokage really that important?
"I heard that your teacher got the Four-Tails. Why didn't he get a Four-Tails Jinchuriki to help him?"

Shimura Danzo sneered. If they wanted to argue, he could do it.

"That person was not arranged by the teacher at that time. The teacher definitely did not have the Four Tails in his hand."

Jiraiya knew that Danzo Shimura would say this, and he asked his teacher about it, but the teacher clearly stated that he did not have the Four Tails in his hand, and his expression did not seem to be faking it.

And it has come to this point. If the Four-Tails is really in the teacher's hands, there is no need to hide it.

"You believe what he says, but you don't believe what I say?"

Danzo Shimura became even more disgusted with Jiraiya. He was just a smart fool who was brainwashed by Hiruzen just like Koizumi was before.

"Get out of here."

Seeing that Jiraiya wanted to say something, Shimura Danzo waved his hand impatiently and signaled him to go away.

Seeing Shimura Danzo like this, Jiraiya looked at everyone and finally had no choice but to retreat.

"You wouldn't say anything nice to Hiruzen, would you?"

Looking at Tsunade, who was the last one left with a stern face, Danzo Shimura was puzzled.

He could see that the girl had something to say, but there didn't seem to be much topic between them, right?

Could it be because of what happened with the rope tree?

But he hadn't even taken any action yet, and was only leading the Iwagakure Ninja Army to start fighting again. He didn't leave any traces, and it was impossible for the Senju to find any clues.

"Did you dig the graves of my great grandfather, second grandfather, and grandmother?"

Staring at Shimura Danzo's one eye, Tsunade knew that this old guy had been coveting the power of her grandfather and the Uchiha, and was secretly conducting those forbidden experiments.

But she didn't intend to pay attention to it. After all, this old guy just inherited the research of his second grandfather, and the materials were all made by his second grandfather during his lifetime. To be frank, there was nothing wrong with it.

But the matter of the remains of her great-grandfather, second grandfather and grandmother touched her bottom line, and she would get to the bottom of the matter.

"The teacher's grave was dug up?"

Danzo Shimura was stunned, and then subconsciously looked at Orochimaru who had been watching the show.

"I didn't do that, and I already have the cells of the first generation. There's no need to steal the remains of the first generation."

Orochimaru smiled helplessly, why did everyone start to suspect him first?

How could I, Orochimaru, do such a shameless thing as digging up a human corpse?

After looking at Orochimaru and then at Tsunade, Danzo Shimura had some guesses and immediately expressed his opinion.

"The remains of the first generation teachers are useless to me. My arms were also made by Orochimaru, and there is no Impure World Reincarnation of the first generation teachers."

From the expressions of the two men, it can be seen that they have obviously communicated with each other, and Orochimaru will inevitably reveal some of his own information, such as the transplanted arm.

In this case, there is no need to hide some things, otherwise it will be very troublesome if Qianshou is targeted in this matter, and he does not want to take the blame for his old friend.

Moreover, he knew Tsunade, a ninja who had a sense of the overall situation and put the village first. She would never cause chaos at this time and let Konoha be completely destroyed.

Tsunade stared at Danzo Shimura for a long time, and finally her expression relaxed.

"It better not be you, otherwise we Thousand Hands won't let you go."

With a warning, Tsunade turned and walked away.

"What does Hiruzen want to do?"

After Tsunade left, Danzo Shimura looked at Orochimaru. He now couldn't understand his old friend's actions.

It is not a taboo to catch the four-tailed beast head-on on the battlefield, so there is no need to hide it.

Anyway, the Iwagakure Village is now at war with them, so it doesn't matter if they capture the Four-Tails. Creating a new Four-Tails Jinchuriki to participate in the battle will increase their chances of winning.

"The teacher has changed so much that I can't figure it out now."

Orochimaru couldn't see through it either. Besides, he didn't like these conspiracies and intrigues. If he had the time to think about them, he might as well do more research.

"Danzo-sama, are you really not going to show the power of Wood Release and Mangekyō next?"

Turning his gaze to Shimura Danzo's right arm, which was covered by clothes and sealing bandages, Orochimaru could vaguely feel the power within, which was terrifying.

"Now is not the time to use it."

After looking at his right arm, Danzo Shimura decided not to move.

The strange actions of his old friend made him feel uneasy. He had to see all of his old friend's plans and cards before he could reveal them with peace of mind, otherwise who knows if he would be tricked.

"What about the three tails?"

He asked about the Three-Tails again, and Orochimaru wanted to research it.

Although the Seven-Tails in Uchiha Fugaku's body had been studied before, it was within Uchiha Fugaku's body after all, and Uchiha Fugaku had always been very wary of himself, so it was impossible to do more in-depth research.

He was eager to obtain a tailed beast to study carefully, and the Three-Tail was a suitable choice.

I have studied the little three-tail before, but I don't know what the difference is between the little three-tail and the real three-tail. If I can compare the two, I will definitely gain a lot. "Here is the flesh and blood of the three-tail, enough for you to study."

As he spoke, Danzo Shimura took out a sealing scroll.

He had anticipated that Orochimaru would ask about the Three-Tails, so he cut off the flesh and blood of the Three-Tails in advance, and studied most of it at his own research base. This was a small part of it.

Of course, this is not a free gift, Orochimaru has to exchange something for it.

Seeing the sealing scroll, Orochimaru licked his lips and was very moved by it.

After thinking for a while, he spat out a scroll from his mouth and threw it over, and used a long snake to roll up Shimura Danzo's scroll and take it back.

"I studied Jiraiya's body last time and made some new discoveries about that kind of bloodline fusion."

The last time he studied Jiraiya's cells, he gained a lot and had a deeper understanding of the transplantation and fusion of bloodline techniques.

"Jiraiya!"

Thinking of Jiraiya's performance in the last war, he had obviously mastered Lava Release, and he acknowledged this achievement.

Although he values ​​the bloodline of the immortal more, this kind of bloodline of escape techniques can be used to train his subordinates.

Moreover, they are also conducting research on blood transplantation. The idea of ​​reverse transplantation originally provided by Pharmacist Nono is correct, and the progress is encouraging.

Now with Orochimaru's research results, he will be able to train bloodline ninjas in large quantities.

Of course, this still takes time. It will not be useful in this Ninja World War, and we can only wait for the next Ninja World War.

Not to mention the two people who were trading here, Tsunade on the other side was stopped by someone not long after she walked out, or it could be said that the other party deliberately created the encounter.

Tsunade walked past with a cold face without even looking at Jiraiya who was pretending to be serious on the side of the road.

"Hey! Tsunade, don't go!"

Seeing that Tsunade was still ignoring him, Jiraiya hurriedly chased after her.

"If you want to talk about Sarutobi Hiruzen, then don't say anything. Otherwise, don't expect me to heal you if you get injured on the battlefield next time."

Still with a cold face, Tsunade now hates the teacher very much, because the other party has repeatedly touched the bottom line of herself and her family.

First he destroyed the Uzushiogakure Village, then he plotted against Kyupin, then he murdered his younger brother Nawaki, and now he even stole the bodies of his great-grandfather and others. How could she not hate him?

If it weren't for the village, she would have wanted to rush back to the village with her grandfather's sword and chop the old man to death.

"It's not about the teacher. I want to talk to you about this war."

Jiraiya could only change the subject.

He had previously wanted to persuade and ease the relationship between the teacher and Tsunade, and even the Senju family.

After all, the fact that Tsunade came to support proves that she still values ​​the village very much, but looking at her current situation, it is clear that it is useless to say anything, and it may even have a counterproductive effect.

Even he couldn't help but doubt the teacher. He had noticed that Tsunade didn't come out immediately, so he was waiting outside the door and heard Tsunade's questioning of Shimura Danzo.

He really didn't know about this matter, and Danzo Shimura even admitted to the transplant of the first generation's cells, and it was Orochimaru who helped him do it, so it was really unlikely that he would conceal it.

In that case, is it true that the teacher stole the remains of the first generation and others?

This is really too much.

"There is nothing to say. Unless they take out the Three-Tails and the Four-Tails to make new Jinchūriki to join the battle, and then let the Nine-Tails come to help, otherwise this battle cannot be won."

Leaving behind these words, Tsunade walked away, not wanting to waste time talking to that idiot.

Now things are very clear. If we want to survive this crisis, it depends on whether those people can truly unite as one. Otherwise, the final result will not be good.

Looking at the figure of the woman leaving, Jiraiya wanted to speak several times, but he just couldn't say anything, and in the end he could only sigh.

"Teacher, it will be fine."

At this time, Minato Namikaze came over with a box lunch and spoke to comfort him.

He saw everything that just happened and knew that the teacher liked Tsunade-senpai.

But some things are really helpless, and as a junior he can't say anything.

"Hopefully!"

Sighing again, Jiraiya took the lunch box and took a few bites. He was hungry after rushing all the way from the village, and then he noticed something unusual.

"These are hand-made meatballs. Is he here in the barracks too?"

He has eaten noodles at Ichiraku Noodle House many times. The taste and texture of the meatballs are very unique and he still remembers them vividly.

"Ever since the Food Entertainment City launched so many noodle dishes, it has become increasingly difficult for Brother Hand to make noodle dishes, and he eventually had to come to the military camp."

Speaking of this, Minato Namikaze was not very happy.

He also likes Ichiraku Ramen, but unfortunately the noodles at the Food and Entertainment City are tastier, have more varieties, and are more affordable.

During that time in the village, few people went to Yile Noodle House to eat noodles, and it was difficult to keep the business going.

Brother Shouda was unwilling to join the food and entertainment city, and finally had to find another way out.

Making noodles in the military camp is too slow and the profit is not high, so we have to switch to making boxed lunches, especially curry rice.

After all, a lot of rice can be steamed at one time, and curry and the like can also be made into a large bucket, making it easier to prepare dishes.

Nowadays, hand-made ramen is rarely made. I really miss that taste.

"It's that damned Hidden Cloud Village again."

He grumbled in dissatisfaction, but Jiraiya couldn't do anything to change it.

Although the Food and Entertainment City initially started out in the Hidden Cloud Village, it does not itself belong to the Hidden Cloud Village and can only be considered a cooperative relationship with it.

Almost all the people working in the food and entertainment city in the village are villagers. The food and entertainment company only collects a part of the money every month, and the proportion is not high. At the same time, taxes are paid to Daming Prefecture, so no one can say anything.

In addition, the food and entertainment city in the village also cooperates with Uchiha. The police department has stationed three teams there to maintain law and order, so there is nothing they can do.

However, the food in the Food and Entertainment City is really good, all of which are of high quality and low price. Even the vegetables are purchased directly from farmers, eliminating the middlemen from making a profit, and their freshness is guaranteed.

The same goes for other commodities. It has become another core of the village, with people coming and going every day.

What the two of them didn't know was that there was a figure watching them a hundred meters away. It was a shadow clone of Tamura Hao.

Of course, he used the transformation technique and used the Ten-Tails to transform his chakra, disguising himself as a regular Root ninja.

With the mask and equipment covering it, no one would be able to tell.

However, what Tamura Hao had been paying attention to before was not Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, but the hands cooking in the military camp.

Nowadays, hand-made ramen noodles are no longer sold, but boxed lunches are sold instead, which also bring in considerable income.

It seems that my ramen transformation plan was very successful.

After expressing his feelings, Tamura Hao walked towards Lord Danzo.

On the other side, Orochimaru couldn't wait to leave after completing the transaction. He wanted to study the flesh and blood of the Three-Tails as soon as possible to see how it differed from the original little Three-Tails.

"Lord Danzo!"

After walking in, Tian Cun Hao knelt on one knee, with his knee still only 0.5 millimeters from the ground.

It's not that he is not loyal enough to Lord Danzo, he just doesn't want to dirty Lord Danzo's floor, which is actually proof of his loyalty.

"How is Koizumi now?"

Danzo Shimura was not surprised by the boy's arrival. As early as the last time they communicated, he said that Samehada could simulate the swallowed chakra to a certain extent.

Although this cannot be used in combat, it can be used to deceive sensing ninjas.

"Ms. Quan's body has recovered initially, but the scars on her heart will take a long time to heal.

In addition, Miss Izumi seems to feel guilty towards Uzumaki Kushina because of what happened in the Uzushiogakure Village back then. She wants to stay with Uzumaki Kushina to atone for her sins and does not want to return to Konoha. Uzumaki Kushina also has a good feeling about her.

In addition, given the order from the Hidden Cloud Village, I can only send Miss Quan to the Hidden Cloud Village for care. With Uzumaki Kushina's guarantee, she shouldn't be targeted."

"Atonement, still so innocent!"

Danzo Shimura was not surprised, that girl was of that naive nature, it was not surprising that she would make such a choice.

Moreover, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's betrayal and assassination would inevitably cause great psychological harm to Koizumi, so it is normal for him not to want to return to Konoha.

"Let her be!"

After making sure that his daughter was fine, Danzo Shimura did not plan to make any plans on her. In comparison, the capable subordinate in front of him needed more attention.
