Rebuild the Land of Whirlpools, start with a massive army of the Thirteen Guardian Soldiers.

Chihiro's eyes flickered.

Besides the spirit, this forbidden technique should also involve a physical body, whose location is unknown.

Chihiro Uzumaki instructed, "Have someone find Dan Kato's body and send it to Konoha to ask Hiruzen Sarutobi what he really means."

"If you cannot satisfy me, then the Land of Whirlpools will not hesitate to send troops to Konoha again!"

"Yes!"

Rukia Kuchiki responded and then went to deliver Lord Soul King's orders.

Chihiro Uzumaki looked at Tsunade and asked, "How was your stay in the Land of Whirlpools?"

Tsunade thought for a moment and replied, "It's not bad. I've made a lot of good friends. It's just that Nawaki is a bit stubborn. He doesn't acknowledge me as his older sister."

"How about... you help me out?"

Tsunade stroked her chin and said, "If Lord Soul King speaks, he shouldn't disobey, right?"

………………

The next day.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared grimly at Dan Kato, who sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

This appearance clearly indicates that the user is using a spiritification technique.

However, Kato Dan was indeed sent back by the Land of Whirlpools.

This means that Kato Dan's affair has come to light.

Furthermore, Kato Dan's physical body falling into a deep sleep clearly indicates that he encountered a situation where his soul could not return.

It seems she's been imprisoned by the Land of Whirlpools...

The Land of Whirlpools truly possesses secret techniques capable of dealing with souls!

But now is not the time to dwell on these things.

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples; he had a bit of a headache.

Kato's infiltration failed, and Konoha, facing questioning from the Land of Whirlpools, had to provide a reasonable explanation.

Otherwise, he thought about the scene from that night, and then looked at Konoha, which was still in the process of reconstruction. Nine

He let out a deep sigh. (iv)

If it happened again, he'd probably lose his position completely.

"Send a letter to the Land of Whirlpools, stating that Kato Dan's actions were his personal matter and had nothing to do with Konoha. Konoha has already labeled Kato Dan a rogue ninja and is leaving him to the Land of Whirlpools' disposal!"

"Furthermore, Konoha deeply regrets what happened and is willing to pay a price for it!"③

To satisfy the Land of Whirlpools. (Crow)

Konoha must first sever ties with Kato, and then pay a price. (vi)

This way, we won't give the Land of Whirlpools any further excuse to attack. (iv)

"Yes!"

The Anbu received orders from the Hokage and rushed to the Land of Whirlpools.

The base of roots.

Shimura Danzo also received news that Kato Dan had been arrested by the Land of Whirlpools.

After all, the people of the Land of Whirlpools didn't hide it at all, and they sent Kato Dan's body back in a high-profile manner, causing quite a stir.

Shimura Danzo's face was gloomy.

I never expected that the Land of Whirlpools would possess the ability to counter Spirit Transformation Techniques!

This land of whirlpools is like an iron barrel; there's nowhere for it to seep in!

How to do?

Are we just going to give up on the path to the Land of Whirlpools?

The Land of Whirlpools, the Seireitei.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi took this matter very seriously, the Anbu moved with incredible speed.

Moreover, the Land of Fire and the Land of Whirlpools are neighbors.

So it took half a day to receive Hiruzen Sarutobi's message.

"Ha, a righteous act of cutting off..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi is quite decisive in some ways.

It has the spirit of a stoic bear!

Then move on to the next item.

Appropriate compensation.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi is getting more and more sensible."

This is the Hiruzen Sarutobi he knows.

He's willing to give in to any unreasonable request, as long as you dare to ask!

Then, Chihiro Uzumaki pondered for a moment, thinking about what kind of compensation she should ask for.

To be honest, there's nothing left in Konoha that he wants.

However, Konoha does indeed have many talented individuals.

He pondered for a moment, wondering what kind of talent Konoha currently had.

Then, a name popped into his mind.

Uchiha Mikoto!

Chihiro Uzumaki opened her eyes, and a woman with the image of a Yamato Nadeshiko appeared in her mind.

"It's her!"

It just so happens that the Land of Whirlpools is missing a Shinigami from the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, according to Kushina, she and Mikoto Uchiha had a pretty good relationship when they were in Konoha.

Just 300 people are coming over to be Kushina's best friend.

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened.

"Uchiha Mikoto..."

Why the Uchiha clan, of all people?

Since the last invasion by the Land of Whirlpools.

宇智波8和日向与5木叶高层之7间就多6了一6个看3不见的隔阂。4〈／4｀”2☆＂

Although they still treat each other with respect, they are already outwardly distant.

Even at high-level meetings in Konoha, neither of the two clans showed any interest.

But the Land of Whirlpools specifically requested talent from the Uchiha clan!

This is not only about undermining the foundation of their Konoha bloodline limit, but also about deepening the rift between Konoha and the Uchiha!

Conspiracy!

A naked conspiracy!

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to accept it.

If they agree, Konoha will still have a chance to catch its breath.

I disagree. What awaits him is another invasion from the Land of Whirlpools.

"Ugh!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply.

For the first time, I felt the weariness of becoming Hokage.

He took a drag of his cigarette and said helplessly, "I'll have to pay a visit to the Uchiha clan in person."

Uchiha resident.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was received by Fugaku Uchiha, who succeeded him as clan head.

After serving the tea, Fugaku Uchiha said with a cold expression, "It is an honor to have the Hokage grace us with his presence. We are deeply sorry for not welcoming you sooner."

"I wonder, what brings the Hokage to my Uchiha clan?"

On the surface, Fugaku Uchiha appeared calm, but he was actually very wary inside.

bother you for something.

Especially that cunning old fox, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Being approached by him is definitely not a good thing.
