I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

No.

Maybe!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts went through several turns.

After all, according to the information brought back by Uchiha Ara, even Hanzo of the Salamander, who was hailed as a demigod, was only on par with the opponent!

The two Yugito figures appear to have been captured, but have not been seen since.

The white-haired old man's heart raced, and his trembling fingers continued to scroll down the note.

He can no longer read and analyze the imagery and impact behind each sentence word by word!

Furthermore, the Third Hokage's strange attitude gradually began to attract the attention of those present, including Jiraiya, who was already preparing to leave, and Atsui, whose face was becoming increasingly gloomy.

Because if it were just a small action by the Fourth Raikage to put pressure on Konoha, it wouldn't seem enough to make his expression so serious.

What exactly was written on that note?

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was nowhere to be seen throughout, suggesting he was likely moved away by Kumogakure ninja before the Akatsuki invasion.

Currently, Darui, the Fourth Raikage's personal guard, is temporarily managing Kumogakure.

[The intruders whose identities could be confirmed also included Kisame Hoshigaki, an S-rank rogue ninja from Kirigakure, and Deidara, an S-rank rogue ninja from Iwagakure. The former fought the Raikage, while the latter's Explosion Release ninjutsu roared all night, causing irreparable damage to Kumogakure.]

[There is also an Akatsuki member whose identity is unknown, but he is a powerful puppeteer whose ninjutsu appears to be the lost Sunagakure technique, Manipulation of One Hundred Puppet Techniques!]

The message ends here.

The reading took only a few dozen seconds, but it felt like several years had passed for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The tailless tailed beast of Kirigakure;

The Secret Technique of the Hidden Sand Village: Puppet Show;

Onoki's personal disciple from Iwagakure;

And the Mangekyou Sharingan of Konoha Village.

Has the Akatsuki already amassed so many powerful members?

Moreover, Itachi Uchiha hasn't sent back a single piece of information about the Akatsuki organization all these years. Does he show no mercy and choose to completely betray them?

Has he forgotten that his own younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, is still under the protection of Konoha?!

However, compared to this external threat, the biggest problem now is how to deal with the relationship between Hiashi Hyuga, Inoichi Yamanaka, and even Jiraiya.

Although he made the decision based on Uchiha Ara's will, it must have chilled the hearts of these influential figures in Konoha.

In an instant, genuine regret spread wildly through his heart.

For the sake of peace, commit suicide!

Why did I say something so irreversible?

Was it because of fear of the Uchiha?

Or was it because the Sarutobi clan suffered heavy losses in the war on the eastern border?

He can no longer recall what he was thinking at the time.

But if I had spoken a little more tactfully just now;

If only this urgent message from the border could have been delivered sooner;

How did things turn out this way?

after all,

The once arrogant Hidden Cloud Village, after this blow, is no longer worthy of pointing fingers at Konoha!

Instead, they should carefully consider their attitude towards Konoha and pray to Konoha, and pray that the enraged Hyuga clan, will not choose this time to launch an attack!

"Lord Hokage!"

"Have you forgotten the important matter?"

Atsui forcefully suppressed the unease in her heart, and her angry questioning was as arrogant as when she first arrived.

He could let it go on being intimidated by that brat named Uchiha Ara; he disdained to bother with this evil clan or this evil fellow.

But now, even the Hokage, who had already made a decision, has started to drag his feet and remain silent. Does he really think that Kumogakure is easy to fool or fob off?

"You are not allowed to be disrespectful to the Hokage."

During this time, a member of the ANBU ninja growled as a warning, and the atmosphere around them became heavy and tense again.

"Ha, I think Konoha wants to start a war!"

"Can your attitude represent the will of Konoha?"

Atsi remains strong.

This confidence comes from the Hidden Cloud Village behind him!

After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly raised his face during this brief moment of argument.

However, he did not immediately respond to the arrogant and domineering Cloud Hidden Envoy, but instead subtly glanced at the heads of several noble families sitting around him.

But that one glance chilled him to the bone.

Hiashi Hyuga lowered his head slightly, his hands clenched into fists and resting on his knees, his silence terrifying; Inoichi Yamanaka was still filled with resentment and unwillingness, his eyes bloodshot; Shikaku Nara, who was standing to the side, did not make any statement, but one could still glimpse the complex expression on his face.

Finally, his gaze fell on Jiraiya, and disappointment was the key word he found on the other's face.

Looking around,

Apart from the secret service, not a single person spoke up for them.

"What's wrong, Hiruzen?"

What kind of message came back from the northeastern border?

When the questions arose, the only ones who could remain calm and composed were probably the two advisors sitting beside him.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his mouth, but then hesitated, unsure of what to say.

This was originally a message for Konoha Daiyo.

"If you want war, then let's fight. Konoha will accept everything."

Can your words and actions truly represent Ai?

"Where the leaves dance, the fire burns eternally; the ninjas of Konoha have no right to dictate to the Hidden Cloud Village!"

He could have been just as assertive and domineering towards the Cloud Village ninjas.

He could have won the hearts of all the clan leaders.

He could have allowed Konoha to wash away its shame.

but now,

But it's too late to turn back now.

The Hidden Cloud Village was attacked, and the Leaf Village refused to make any demands.

The message that needs to be explained is simple, but can he say it like that? Does he even have the nerve to say it?

Such remarks will only disappoint other clan heads and even some ordinary ninjas.

This is their Hokage.

A shadow who can only fight when things are going well, but dares not confront a powerful opponent!

An old figure, no longer the vigor of his youth!

"What happened, Hiruzen?"

Koharu Tsurugi spoke again, her aged face showing anxiety.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was trying to steel himself and weave the best possible narrative to shift all the blame and attention onto the Akatsuki and Itachi Uchiha, a cold, mocking voice rang out from the doorway.

"I said long ago that there is no need to compromise with the Hidden Cloud Village."

"If it's time to fight, then fight!"

"You won't listen."

The owner of that voice is Danzo Shimura!

Clearly, he also learned of the upheaval in Yunyin through his own channels!

Chapter 233 I will always believe in you, unconditionally.

"Brother Scorpion, I told you, the highest art is a momentary explosion, hmm."

Standing atop the giant clay bird, Deidara could no longer contain his excitement and proudly boasted to the terrifying puppet beside him.

However, the terrifying-looking creature with numerous damages on its surface did not immediately respond, seemingly disdainful of arguing with this underage blond boy.

"I never imagined that one day my great art would be 'recognized' within the Hidden Cloud Village, hmm."

Deidara stared intently at his hands, his mind filled with the image of that spectacular explosion.

"As expected of me, art explodes, drink!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and roared angrily, as if savoring the heroic posture he had just displayed.

"Shut up! Be quiet!"

"Otherwise, I will turn you into a puppet too, making you an eternal work of art!!"

A hoarse, angry rebuke erupted amidst the incessant chatter and ecstasy.

Suddenly, the puppet, with its hideous and terrifying appearance and a tattered scorpion tail that still exuded a chilling light, spoke up and its tone clearly contained human emotions!

"Hey, Sasori, although you're a senior member of Akatsuki, my art is clearly more magnificent and dazzling on the battlefield, okay? Hmm."

"If it weren't for my instantaneous art, even this puppet on your body would probably have been torn to shreds by those burly Cloud Village ninjas, hmm."

Despite such a clear and angry warning, Deidara showed no awareness whatsoever and continued to recklessly teeter on the edge of self-destruction.

But that is indeed the case. In this invasion war aimed at hunting the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails, if we were to talk about the most elegant and easy way...

That must be itself.
