Konoha: From Aburame to God.

Chapter 46 The Third Ninja World War

Aburame Shiyi arrives at the Root Base.

I saw that Orochimaru had come out of his state of studying the parasite.

"Lord Orochimaru, you finally came out. Sensei Danzo has been looking for you."

"There's no other way. If you don't come out, Danzo will break down my door."

There was helplessness in Orochimaru's tone; he really didn't want to stop his research on the soul-parasitic worm.

During this period, Orochimaru invested a lot of precious resources in the soul-parasitic insects and achieved some good results.

For example, the enhancement of parasitic abilities, the enhancement of the ability to absorb souls, and even the strengthening of the physical body.

"The potential of the soul parasite is indeed huge. Its ability to draw soul energy from souls is very useful to me."

However, the problem of consumables gave Orochimaru a huge headache.

A soul that is not nourished by chakra is worthless, and the number of ninja souls he can obtain is limited, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Danzo walked over at this time, his expression very solemn. He took out a scroll from his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Something happened. The Third Kazekage of the Sand Village has been confirmed missing."

"The Third Kazekage is missing?"

Orochimaru's expression became weird. He really didn't expect that this news was true.

When he first heard the news, he thought that the Sand Village was going to cause trouble again, or that it was an internal political struggle.

But the Kazekage is the shadow of a village after all, the face of the Sand Village. How could he disappear inexplicably? The Shadow Guards are the elite of each village.

"It's troublesome. The situation in the ninja world is already bad. There have been many conflicts in the five major ninja villages, plus the situation in the Sand Village..."

"Get ready. Hiruzen has called a jonin meeting to discuss and decide on the next strategy."

Shimura Danzo paused and looked at Aburame Shiitsu who looked well-behaved beside him.

"You should come with me too, so you can get familiar with it in advance."

Danzo's voice was flat and straightforward without any emotion.

"That's great."

This will be the first time that Aburame Shiitsu will appear in public as Danzo's disciple and the successor of the Root organization, and it has strong political implications.

……

Aburame Shiyi followed Danzo and Orochimaru to the Jounin meeting room, where he was not originally qualified to attend.

However, his status as Danzo's disciple entitled him to an exception.

"Zhiyi, you are here too."

"It's Minato-senpai."

Namikaze Minato, who was waiting at the door of Konoha Conference Hall, greeted Aburame Shiitsu gently.

"Minato-senpai, thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, as long as we can help everyone, go in quickly."

Minato Namikaze didn't think that he had worked too hard. Instead, he thought that this was a good opportunity, a chance to meet the Konoha high-level officials and the clan leaders of various clans.

As soon as Aburame Shiyi entered the conference room, he attracted a lot of attention.

After all, among these people, only Aburame Shiyi was not wearing a green jonin vest, which made him look out of place.

Aburame Shiyi did not explain, but simply sat down next to Shimura Danzo, and all the gazes disappeared immediately.

"As expected, I feel safer around the teacher."

At this time, the door opened again, and Minato Namikaze walked in followed by the Third Hokage.

Seeing the Third Hokage come in, the jonins all became serious.

The Third Hokage walked to the front and looked at the many jonin who had been summoned. A rough count revealed that there were hundreds of them, all elite members of the Konohagakure and civilians.

So he coughed lightly and said:

"We have received reliable information that the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village in the Land of Wind has indeed disappeared, and the Kazekage Guards have also disappeared with him."

The expressions of the jonin who had not received the news suddenly changed.

There was something wrong with this situation. The shadow of war loomed in their hearts.

They are not afraid of sacrifice, but that doesn't mean they want to go to the battlefield.

The battlefield is always cruel. Who would want to die if they can live?

Aburame Shiyi sat next to Danzo, his heart calm. He was so calm even when he had a cheat.

Originally, the entire ninja world could be considered to be in chaos yet with order. Although there were more and more frictions among the five major ninja villages, these were all within the controllable range.

The disappearance of the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village will become the factor that breaks the balance.

Among the five major ninja villages currently, although Konoha is the strongest, it also faces the greatest pressure.

Once the Third Ninja World War breaks out, it is possible that the situation of the Second Ninja World War will repeat itself.

The four major ninja villages joined forces to attack Konoha.

"Now, the two villages of Sandstone have been continuously sending troops to the border of the Rain Country. The Hidden Cloud Village is also ready to make a move and constantly provokes border friction. The Water Country is unusually quiet. I don't know what conspiracy it has."

The five major countries do not share borders with each other, but there are some small countries serving as buffer zones between them.

Small countries are usually exploited by big countries, and when war breaks out, they will be used as battlefields and suffer tragic consequences.

The so-called border friction refers to the friction between the five major ninja villages on the border of a small country.

"The situation is so bad now that war is inevitable."

At this time, Shimura Danzo said, "It has come to this point. We need to strike first."

"The Third Kazekage has disappeared, and the Kazekage Guard has disappeared. This is the time when the Sand Village is weak. We can concentrate our strength and defeat the Sand Village in one go."

"As long as we succeed, even if there are three other ninja villages, our pressure will be reduced a lot."

Danzo is worthy of being Danzo, he speaks like an eagle as soon as he opens his mouth.

Of course, the success of the Wood Release weapon experiment also gave him confidence.

The Third Hokage glanced at Danzo and said nothing.

Konoha itself is the most powerful of the five villages, and if they gather all their strength they can defeat the Sand Village.

But after that?
The five major ninja villages are full of conflicts and blood debts, making it basically impossible for them to unite.

In other words, even if the other four major ninja villages joined forces to attack Konoha, they would each fight on their own.

If Konoha takes the initiative to attack and defeats the Sand Village, causing the three villages of Iwaku, Kuroko and Mitsu to join forces, it will be a big trouble.

The Third Hokage shook his head, the chain reaction made him very worried.

"The situation is clear. We need to send more troops to the border and never allow the war to reach the border of the Fire Nation."

"Please, everyone."

The Third Hokage bowed deeply.

Seeing this scene, the jonins all stood up.

"For Konoha!"

They say this, but they all have their own thoughts.

The Uchiha clan is thinking about how to demonstrate the power of Uchiha, how to gain a higher status, or even compete for the position of Hokage.

The Hyuga clan wanted to retain their strength and let the branch family complete the task.

Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi looked at each other and seemed to be communicating something.

Aburame Shiwei stood next to Namikaze Minato.

Danzo looked at Hiruzen deeply. After all, he was old and no longer had the courage to cover his teacher's retreat.

Orochimaru's golden snake eyes were full of greed.

War.

A great opportunity to get supplies.

On the high platform.

The Third Hokage silently looked at the jonin below, thinking about how to dispatch troops.
