I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Clearly, he also knew what the old man had set for him before he died.

I'd rather die a glorious death than live a life of dishonor!

He only wanted to obtain a secret technique, but that ungrateful old man actually handed over his entire power to his opponent, which made him somewhat resentful.

"As expected of Lord Raikage, you received this news so quickly."

Danzo Shimura flattered him.

But the flat tone and calm expression suggested that this was merely a polite response, without any praise whatsoever.

【Tsk. 】

Similarly, this seemingly agreeable but insincere praise caused the Fourth Raikage to clench his fist, which was the size of a sandbag, even tighter.

"So, what message did you bring?"

"If that's all there is to it, then I might have to reconsider your value."

Ai continued, his rough voice revealing a palpable impatience.

Clearly, Suoqian Village's "defection" had really angered him.

Most importantly, they have no way to deal with such a merger.

"Of course, the information I bring is not only about the ninjas of the village of Kusazen gradually merging into the Land of Hot Springs. Also, the leader of the Hidden Demon Village, Uchiha Ara, left the Land of Hot Springs again this evening, a few days later. Moreover, the ninja who accompanied him this time was Gaara, who is known as the absolute defender within the Hidden Sand Village."

"With your intelligence capabilities, you should know that Gaara is the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure."

Despite the relatively hostile attitude of the Cloud Village, Shimura Danzo remained calm and composed.

It was as if this was just the typical barking behavior of a vicious dog, and not something that was specifically targeting them.

This news immediately silenced all the ninjas of the Cloud Village faction, and as their eyes met, they saw confusion and apprehension in each other's eyes.

It is well known that the leader of the Demon Hidden Sect, Uchiha Ara, possesses exceptional individual combat strength and is mostly a lone wolf. However, he has now brought along the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, who is also a top-tier fighter. Therefore, it can only be said that he must have a very grand scheme for this trip!

"Now that Lord Danzo has learned of this information, he must be able to guess the purpose of these two's trip, right?"

The brief stalemate was broken by Mabuyi.

Her tone was much gentler compared to that of her boss, and she even used honorifics in her address, instead of using rude pronouns like "you," "I," and "he" directly with the Fourth Raikage.

Such a rhetorical question is undeniably clever.

If the former knows the reason, then the Hidden Cloud Village will naturally be able to understand the purpose of the Hidden Demon Village's actions and then take appropriate countermeasures.

If this wasn't known, then it proves that Shimura Danzo only possessed a relatively fast intelligence network, and such information could certainly be brought back by their own spies.

These words immediately drew the attention of the other high-ranking members of the Hidden Cloud Village back to the one-eyed old man.

Although no one spoke up during this time, one could sense the urgency and caution in their eyes.

After all, the leader of the Hidden Demon Village made this trip after annexing the Lock Front Village.

It is worth being very wary whether those guys are taking action to retaliate against Kumogakure.

"Don't be nervous, their current destination is not yours."

"However, this may be a good time for your side to launch a surprise attack on the Demon Hidden Village, or it may be the last chance to fight back."

Danzo Shimura said with a sinister expression,

His tone clearly revealed a desire to stir up trouble.

"Raid?"

"You, what do you mean?"

Such a clearly intentional suggestion immediately caught the attention of the higher-ups in Kumogakure, and even Darui, whose name means "lazy," instantly showed absolute vigilance.

"Are you trying to use our strength to provoke a direct war with the Hidden Demon Village?"

"Once war breaks out, it will be the ninjas of Kumogakure who suffer."

Furthermore, he showed no mercy to the one-eyed old man, directly pointing out the worst-case scenario, also to remind his leader not to be foolishly counted money for the other party after being sold out by them.

With the Cloud Hidden and the Demon Hidden vying for power, it is impossible for either of them to ultimately benefit.

That old fox!

As he pondered this, the hostile coldness in Darui's eyes became even clearer.

However, Shimura Danzo showed no emotion whatsoever to the vigilance, or even hostility and suspicion, directly expressed by the former. In fact, his calm and composed demeanor made it seem as if he were still in charge of Konoha, rather than the current Kumogakure.

"Oh, it seems that even the martial-minded Cloud Village has had its edges smoothed out by time."

"how?"

"Has the crazy drive to force Konoha to hand over the head of the Hyuga clan, which used to threaten a full-scale attack, been completely lost?"

He looked at the many high-ranking members of Yunyin in his field of vision with a cold smile, giving him a feeling of engaging in a debate with a group of scholars.

"Provocation won't work."

"The Hidden Cloud Village will not fight for the interests of others."

The all-around Cloud Shadow Elite, Xi, remained calm.

How could they possibly lack even the slightest independent thinking ability and just blindly board that one-eyed fox's pirate ship?

In fact, hiring the village of Lockmae and, in a sense, handing over this intelligence force to the village of Demon Hidden was already a terrible thing.

Even the Fourth Hokage harbors an unyielding hostility towards the Hidden Demon Village.

However, since none of the 'favorable timing, geographical advantages, and popular support' were on Kumogakure's side, they would absolutely not follow the advice of that old fox Danzo and rashly start a war against that rising power.

This is a matter of interest to the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Other people's interests?"

"Ah,"

"It seems I chose the wrong partner."

"Since the martial spirit of Kumogakure has been worn down by the Uchiha clan, I will no longer insist."

"Let's find a quiet place to watch the Demon Village dominate the entire ninja world in the end, and watch Uchiha Ara become the second Uchiha Madara."

"Anyway, I'm an old man with not much time left, so I won't be the final winner."

As he spoke, under the watchful eyes of all the high-ranking members of the Cloud Village, Shimura Danzo struggled to his feet, leaning on his cane, and prepared to leave.

His aged and decrepit appearance did indeed cause the elites of Kumogakure to hesitate.

Indeed, even if a full-scale war were to break out between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Demon Village, the ultimate beneficiary would not be this old fox.

Furthermore, the current Hokage of Konoha is a high-ranking official group formed around Tsunade. Even if she can clear her name as a rogue ninja and return, she will likely no longer have a place in Konoha's high-ranking officials.

Moreover, the Demon Hidden Village has never stopped its manhunt for this guy.

Given his situation, as he himself said, finding a secluded place to spend his remaining years in peace would be the best outcome.

Are you just going to leave like this?

"There are some things you haven't finished saying."

Watching the old fox slowly walk towards the door with his cane, the Fourth Raikage, who had remained silent for a long time, finally spoke.

Moreover, his complexion was not good at the moment, and he had a gloomy feeling of dark clouds looming over the city.

"Oh,"

"Does Lord Raikage still have the mood to listen?"

"Isn't it good to live a comfortable life like your subordinates?"

Danzo Shimura stopped in his tracks at the sound.

However, his sarcastic attitude of "what's the use of this?" remained unchanged, and a mocking smile even appeared on his lips.

Chapter 646 Konoha's Lost Glory, Team 7 Exists in Name Only

"...If everything goes smoothly, then in the end I need the Shukaku inside you to communicate with the Three-Tailed Isobu on my behalf, hoping that it can move its habitat to the eastern sea area of ​​the Land of Hot Springs."

"Of course, if it is not adapted to seawater, the Hidden Demon Village will create a lake specifically for it."

Taking advantage of a lull in their frantic rush toward their destination, Ara explained the mission to Gaara, who was traveling with them.

"that's all?"

"You don't need me to fight?"

After hearing what the former had arranged, Gaara subconsciously felt doubtful.

Because, from the time he could remember, that man had clearly told him that his purpose was to fight, to kill, and to become the strongest weapon of Sunagakure!

And ever since he became a ninja, or more accurately, even when he was still a child, everything he encountered revolved around fighting, destruction, and killing.

Now, being suddenly told that his task is only to communicate during the final stages is somewhat of a subversion of his long-held beliefs.

"No, that's not necessary."

"Because our fundamental purpose in dealing with ordinary competitors is not to instigate killings to demonstrate our strength."

"After all, behind every ninja, there are more or less family members and friends who miss and worry about him."

"Death may be a momentary event that brings the greatest honor to the person involved, but for the deceased's relatives, it is the origin of long-lasting suffering."

"To subdue the enemy without fighting is always the best solution."

Ara didn't know what had gotten into him, but he had taken on the terrifying title of 'Blood Asura,' bearing the mark of the heinous crimes that had turned Konoha upside down, to warn the little guy beside him that problems didn't necessarily have to be solved by force.

If those guys from Konoha heard this, they would definitely react with extreme disgust and loathing.

"generally?"

Gaara's thinking was clearly a bit different from others, and he immediately grasped the special adjective in the former's words.

Whether he understood the explanation and reasoning that followed is unknown.

"Um,"

"If it is an enemy that is wantonly affecting the lives of your relatives, friends, and companions, then be decisive and wipe them all out."

"This is good for both sides."
