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

Chapter 56: Big Head Hokage

After the Third Raikage made some plans, he led the ninja army on the return journey, but the ninja world was in an uproar. When the news of the war in the Land of Whirlpools reached the major ninja villages, they were confused and angry.

The Hidden Mist Village started to fight internally just as Tamura Hao and Dodai had expected. The ninja clan and the Third Mizukage were completely opposed to each other and tore their faces apart.

Although the fight has not started openly yet, they have already started secretly, especially the fight for the two tailed beasts. Both sides want to control the tailed beasts in their own hands.

The Sand Village was also furious. Not only did the thousands of elite ninja soldiers they sent out not get the appropriate sealing technique, but they were all killed. Only four people escaped. Even Chiyo and Ebizo who escaped were disabled and needed at least several years to recuperate.

Without any further ado, the Third Kazekage personally led the ninja army to the border, ready to give Konoha's ninja army a severe blow.

The same thing happened in the Iwagakure Village. When they heard that their confidant Xi Shi Ren had died in the Whirlpool Country and was poisoned by Konoha, they were extremely angry.

Although he did not lead the team to attack personally, he still sent a large army to suppress the Fire Kingdom.

The Hidden Cloud Village naturally cooperated in sending troops. Even before Konoha sent the elite Uchiha troops over, the Third Raikage had already sent ninja troops into the Land of Hot Springs to establish a defense line based on the favorable terrain.

At the same time, Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village also declared war on Konoha, and cooperated with the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Sand Village to target Konoha's ninja army here.

Now the Fire Nation and Konoha were in a panic. Although Konoha was powerful, it was still difficult for it to resist the joint siege of the three ninja villages, not to mention the demigod Hanzo, who was a strategic-level strongman.

However, what made Sarutobi Hiruzen even more upset was the exposure of the detailed process of the war in the Land of Whirlpools. He was not only under pressure from the three major ninja villages, but also from within Konoha.

The first-generation lady had already asked someone to invite her over for a talk.

He even suppressed the pain of his family's elite being wiped out and his son possibly dying in battle.

The problems within the village must be suppressed, otherwise everything will be over.

"Is this what you do?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the old friend opposite him with great annoyance and disappointment. I asked you to help me solve my problems, not to cause me trouble.

Moreover, you also revealed the secret of your Sharingan transplant, and the Uchiha clan leader has already sent someone to deliver a visiting card.

The Uchiha elites are all outside. If they were still in the village, they would probably gather together to attack.

It is a big taboo to try to seize the bloodline power in the village.

Danzo Shimura had a cold face and said nothing. This time the war in the Land of Whirlpools was indeed not well organized. The biggest omission was that no one expected that the Uzumaki clan would actually defect to the Hidden Cloud Village and hide some of their members.

Now that part of the Uzumaki clan has already taken a boat to the Hidden Cloud Village, and the situation is really hard to say.

Another thing is that the elite troops he led were completely wiped out, which was enough to cause serious damage to the vitality of their two clans and their roots.

Mito Kado En took off his glasses and pinched his nose bridge, saying, "Huruzen, it's useless to get angry now. We can only deny what happened to the Uzumaki clan. It was the Kumogakure who slandered us. Given Mito-sama's temperament and the current situation, he will probably not hold us accountable.

The most difficult thing now is the Sharingan issue, which must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Uchiha ninjas on the front lines find out, they will probably abandon everything and come back to fight."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at Shimura Danzo across from him and said coldly, "You'd better prepare a backup plan."

This matter is a taboo. After all, Danzo is a high-ranking official in the village and also his confidant. In the eyes of the village's ninjas, the two of them are one.

If Danzo does such a thing now, he will inevitably be implicated.

If he is not careful and causes dissatisfaction among all the ninja clans, he might be forced to abdicate as the Hokage.

Shimura Danzo was silent for a moment, then he removed the sealing bandage on his eyes to reveal a strange eye, and said, "What I have is not the Sharingan, but the Blood Dragon Eye of the Land of Lightning."

He naturally knew the many taboos of transplanting the Sharingan, and it would be very troublesome if it was exposed, so he had already made preparations. He asked someone to go to the Land of Lightning to get a blood dragon eye. Although it was not as good as the Sharingan, it was still a good eye, enough to explain the sealing bandage on his eye.

"The Blood Pond Clan being held by the Uchiha clan?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had some impression of this. The events of the Blood Pond Clan happened very early, earlier than the first generation teacher and his companions.

It seems that he offended the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning because of something, and was ordered to be exiled to a place and guarded by the ninjas of the Uchiha clan.

Even the Uchiha clan has sent people there for rotation in recent years. This is also a special permission from the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, and the Hidden Cloud Village has no right to interfere.

As far as he knew, the Blood Dragon Eye of the Blood Pond Clan was an illusion bloodline that could compete with the Uchiha Sharingan, and it possessed all kinds of strange secret techniques.

"It looks a bit like that. That kind of chakra is too cold and ominous."

Utane Koharu looked into Shimura Danzo's eyes and nodded in approval.

With this eye, they can deny the words of the Hidden Cloud Village, and the rest is just bickering, which they are very good at. They can completely define this matter as a deliberate slander by the Hidden Cloud Village, which was deliberately planned for the sake of war and to disrupt the hearts of the Uchiha ninjas on the front line.

So despicable!

"Follow me to the Senju clan's land first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and now he could only deny it and insist that it was the slander of those ninja villages and the conspiracy planned by the Hidden Cloud Village.

Then we went to the Uchiha clan's territory. Although we couldn't completely clear the suspicion, there was at least room for easing the situation.

Only after these two things are settled can he do other things, such as redeeming his son.

After all, he is their own son, and the Hidden Cloud Village is unlikely to kill him, so there is a chance to talk.

Danzo Shimura didn't say much, but stood up and followed.

After a while, the two arrived at the Senju clan's territory, and under many unfriendly gazes, they came to the residence of the first Hokage's wife.

Uzumaki Mito didn't say anything and just looked at the two of them quietly, but this put a lot of pressure on them and they couldn't even say the words they had prepared.

Only by facing the first generation Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can one understand how terrifying he is, and that he is not much less terrifying than the first generation teacher.

After watching like this for a full hour, Uzumaki Mito finally spoke with a sad and tired look on his face.

"The Uzumaki clan has defected to the Hidden Cloud Village and is no longer an ally of Konoha. Remove all the Uzumaki icons from the village."

She has lived from the Warring States Period to the present, and has witnessed the end of the Warring States Period and the beginning of the Ninja Village Period. She has seen so many things.

She could see through the little tricks of Sarutobi Hiruzen and his companions, and didn't want to listen to their excuses.

After all, he owed the Uzumaki clan. If he hadn't worked for Hashirama, become the first generation of Tailed Beast Jinchuriki for Konoha, and even participated in the First Ninja World War, the Uzumaki clan wouldn't have been targeted by so many people.

When her second uncle came to scold her, she had guessed that this day would come, but she didn't expect that the actual killers would be students of Hashirama and Tobirama.

The only good thing was that the Uzumaki clan moved to the Hidden Cloud Village and were not exterminated, which made her feel a little better.

However, the friendship between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha has come to an end. Some things are better off being cut off.
