I'm Sasuke

"Start taking action now." After letting the people from the Fire Temple go to rest first, and only Sasuke and his party were left in the Hokage's office, Tsunade said directly.

"It's been a while. Although I haven't contacted Nagato and the others, I think they have sealed many tailed beasts. We can start to eliminate their strength now, otherwise our casualties will be even more heavy when the decisive battle comes.

"

The strength of the Fire Temple in the Land of Fire is not weak. It can even be said to be the strongest force under Konoha, but now it has been completely wiped out by two people from Akatsuki. Such masters pose a threat to ordinary ninjas during the war.

Too big.

"Indeed." Kakashi on the side nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let's take action." After pondering for a moment, Tsunade nodded in agreement.

"Now that we have started to take action, we must not let go of the other Akatsuki members, especially Deidara, and Scorpion. We must kill them before the war begins." Sasuke said again.

Deidara's ability, if he is well prepared, coupled with his air superiority, can really defeat an entire country by one person. The same is true for Scorpion. Its huge group of puppets is also a great threat to ordinary ninjas.

.

"And Orochimaru." Kakashi interjected.

When Orochimaru was mentioned, Tsunade's expression couldn't help but pause. Although Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage, the three of them grew up together after all. But in the end, Tsunade nodded and said, "I will let the ANBU pay attention to them.

of whereabouts."

"Tsunade-sama, I heard that something happened at the Fire Temple." They were about to discuss who to send to the Fire Temple to support them. Asuma suddenly broke in from outside. Before anyone could come in, he heard the news:

Sima's anxious voice.

Someone suddenly broke in, and Tsunade was about to get angry, but when she realized it was Asuma, she shook her head helplessly.

"Yes." Tsunade said, briefly describing the matter, and at the same time also revealed that Konoha was planning to send ninjas to support.

"I'll go." Asma immediately announced herself and said bravely.

"This." Asma's self-declaration of courage made Tsunade hesitate. If it had been anyone else, Tsunade would have refused immediately, but Asma's identity was different after all.

The reason why Tsunade was reluctant to send Asuma was not because she knew what would happen in the future, but simply because Asuma and Chiriku were former companions and both guarded the Twelve Ninjas.

I was afraid that Asuma would act rashly because of this.

"Tsunade-sama, please rest assured, I will not act recklessly." Faced with Tsunade's hesitation, Asuma immediately promised.

"Okay." Seeing Asuma's determination, Tsunade finally agreed.

"Be careful. If anything goes wrong, retreat immediately."

"I see."

"I'll follow them to make sure nothing unexpected happens." Sasuke said after Asuma walked out of the Hokage's office.

"Yeah." Tsunade nodded.

"When you go to the Fire Temple this time, if you have time, check this out." Arriving at Kakashi's office, Kakashi handed Sasuke a document with confidentiality on it with a solemn expression.

"Oh." Sasuke said and opened the file. The contents of the file surprised Sasuke.

"It seems that the destruction of the Fire Temple this time is a good thing for Konoha." After handing the document to Kakashi again, Sasuke said softly.

"Originally, Konoha was planning to send people to the Fire Temple to investigate. I didn't expect such an accident to happen. However, even though the Fire Temple was destroyed, these issues have to be investigated clearly." Kakashi said and sighed slightly.

.

"I understand, I will find out." Sasuke nodded.

The content on the document is very simple, that is, several hidden tombs in the Kingdom of Fire have been stolen.

The hidden grave is the real cemetery after the death of a ninja, because the body of a ninja, even after death, contains a lot of information. In addition, there are too many ninjutsu in this world that can resurrect the corpse, so the cemetery of the ninja

Generally speaking, they are divided into open cemeteries and hidden cemeteries, that is, hidden tombs.

Like Konoha's Memorial Monument, there are all Ming tombs, and most of them are empty.

The corpses of real ninjas are buried in hidden tombs, and the corpse of Uchiha Madara was buried in hidden tombs back then.

Generally speaking, dead ninjas will be cremated immediately and the body destroyed, just like the iron rule of ANBU that no body should be left behind after death. However, there are always some people who miss their loved ones and do not want to cremate the body, so they create hidden graves.

The body of the First Hokage might be in the hidden tomb, but unfortunately no one knows where his body was buried by the Second Hokage.

But this is normal. The reason why hidden tombs are called hidden tombs is that if they are found randomly, they are not hidden tombs.

The hidden tombs in the documents, according to ANBU's investigation in the tombs, showed that they were all important figures during their lifetimes, and they were all the twelve ninjas who were the guardians of the Daimyos of the Fire Country.

As a hidden tomb, it actually has no characteristics. Except for the person who originally built the hidden tomb, others have no idea who is buried in the hidden tomb. But this time, several hidden tombs belong to the guardian ten

The second ninja, plus the corpse inside disappeared, gave Kakashi some bad premonitions.

Back then, the Twelve Ninja Guardians were disbanded overnight. Although Kakashi did not participate in the battle, he was very aware of the inside story.

The conflict between the Twelve Ninjas who protect Konoha and Konoha is the battle between the daimyo and the Hokage, and it is also the struggle between Konoha and the country. In terms of land area, the Land of Fire is dozens of times larger than Konoha, and the population is the same.

But it is a pity that victory or defeat in this world does not depend on the amount of land or population, but on the level of personal strength.

A powerful person can completely overwhelm a country by himself, so if the Daimyos of the Fire Country control a large amount of land and population, they must still allocate funds to Konoha honestly every year.

Although Konoha will not resist the daimyo on the surface, if the daimyo really goes against Konoha, it is very easy to change the daimyo.

Why did the daimyo lady of the Kingdom of Thunder hire the Uchiha clan from Konoha when she exiled the Blood Dragon Eye clan? On the one hand, it was because the Sharingan could suppress the Blood Dragon Eye, and on the other hand, it wasn't because of the Kumo ninja in her country.

The village's ninjas cannot be mobilized.

The daimyo of the Fire Country are of course unwilling to accept this situation. In fact, it is not just the daimyo of the Fire Country, but also the daimyo of the other four countries. However, they are just venting their dissatisfaction in their hearts. After all, they do not have the strength of the daimyo of the Fire Country.

.

Many ninjas were confused about whether they were loyal to the shadow of a village or to the daimyo of a country. This was why Asuma joined the Twelve Ninja Guards back then.

At that time, Asuma wanted to peacefully improve the relationship between the Ninja Village and the country's daimyo. Unfortunately, this status quo was not something that Asuma could change. Not to mention Asuma, not even Naruto could change it.

.

So the radicals who guarded the Twelve Ninja wanted to eliminate Konoha and take all the power of the country into the daimyo, and took action to this end.

As a result, the Twelve Ninja Guardians split into the radical faction and the peaceful faction.

The philosophy of the peaceful faction is the same as that of the radical faction. They believe that power should belong to the daimyo, but they should not take radical actions, because destroying Konoha is not a good thing for the country of fire. Once Konoha is eliminated, the other four countries and the four major ninja villages will definitely

Won't miss this opportunity.

But the radicals didn't care that there were so many people, so the two sides started fighting. The battle was dark and dark, and affected a wide area. In the end, only two of the twelve ninja guardians survived, namely Asuma and Jilu.

All ten other people died in the battle.

In order to commemorate the comrades who died in the war, hidden tombs were built for these people by the land at that time. Because Asuma was the son of the third generation after all, even Asuma kept it a secret.

After the war, the guardians of the Twelve Ninja were naturally disbanded.

Now, the hidden tombs of the twelve ninjas who died in the past are having problems one after another, and they are being discovered. It doesn't matter if there are problems only in Jilu.

But it's a pity that just when Konoha was about to take action, there was a problem at the Fire Temple.

If such a problem occurs in ordinary hidden tombs, Kakashi will definitely not care too much. There are many tomb robbers in this world, and hidden tombs may be discovered by tomb robbers.

But it is different now, because the four hidden tombs that were discovered belonged to the four radicals among the Twelve Ninja Guards at that time. The reason why the Twelve Ninja Guards at that time dared to say that Konoha was wiped out was because of these four people.

Because these four people can jointly use a powerful combination ninjutsu. If prepared in advance, they can do the same thing as Pain's Super Shinra, which is to destroy Konoha in an instant.

"Thunder Release Raimen Raito." A powerful ninjutsu used by four powerful lightning release ninjas in four directions. However, although this ninjutsu is powerful, the conditions for its use are too harsh, and once one person is lost, this ninjutsu will

The combined ninjutsu is broken immediately, so the threat is not very great.

After briefly reading the explanation of Raimon Raito, Sasuke gave up on this ninjutsu, because once this ninjutsu is used, the target is so obvious that anyone who is not an idiot can find it, unless the opponent is trapped in a place in advance.

Only within the barrier can this ninjutsu be maximized.

"The enemy is very powerful this time. You must be very careful." Asuma quickly summoned the ninjas who were preparing to support the Fire Temple. There were three teams of twelve people in total, and the weakest one was also a chuunin.

Then, under the leadership of the monk who escaped from the Fire Temple, everyone immediately set off towards the Fire Temple, but before they set off, Sasuke had already set off.

Because the speed difference between the two sides was too big, Sasuke didn't want to follow them slowly all the way, so he took his psychic beast hawk and set off to the Fire Temple first.

Although Asuma is still dealing with Kakuzu and Hidan this time, Sasuke is not too worried this time. It is very simple. In the original work, this is the first time for Asuma and others to encounter these two people, but even so, it is still

Shikamaru quickly analyzed Hidan's abilities and was just one step away from saving Asuma.

Now people like Asuma fully understand the abilities of Kakuzu and Hidan. If Asuma still dies under such a huge advantage, then it can only be said that Asuma deserves to die, and he can take this opportunity to give

Shikamaru a lesson.

Wisdom is very powerful, but when faced with powerful power, wisdom sometimes does not work.

"This is the Fire Temple." Sasuke, dressed in black and with a mask on his face, appeared at the Fire Temple that had become a ruin. From the ruins of the Fire Temple, it can be seen that the battle at that time was very fierce.

.

In fact, with the strength of the Fire Temple, if Kakuzu and Hidan's abilities weren't too weird and directly killed the most powerful Jiriku of the Fire Temple, these two people might have died in the Fire Temple.

In fact, if Chichi was a little more cautious, with his Ninjutsu and Thousand Hands, he would have a good chance of not being tricked by Hidan. In the final analysis, Chichi had too little combat experience.

The five major countries, the five major ninja villages, and the five major temples should be the most powerful force in the entire ninja world.

The Land of Fire has a Fire Temple, the Land of Wind has a Wind Temple, and the other three great ninja villages also have corresponding temples. I have to say that this is a very strange thing.

Originally, Sasuke only thought that there was a place like the Fire Temple in the Land of Fire. However, after learning about the Wind Temple in the Suna Ninja Village, Sasuke became curious about this temple, so after searching, the five major temples appeared.

The Wind Temple of the Kingdom of Wind is very powerful. Shukaku of Sand Ninja Village was sealed in the hands of Fenfu of the Wind Temple from the beginning. The magic weapon that sealed Shukaku is also the treasure of the Wind Temple.

The second chunin joint examination was held in Suna Ninja Village. At that time, there were people from the Wind Temple who wanted to take the opportunity to kill Gaara and seal Shukaku again. That person from the Wind Temple was none other than Suna.

The elders of Ninja Village at the time requested it.

These are the two major temples that Sasuke knows about. Sasuke doesn't know what is going on with the other three major shinobi village temples.

But he knows one thing, that is, before the Five Great Ninja Villages appeared, the Ninja world was competing for hegemony, and the Five Great Ninja Temples were very powerful at that time. After the Five Great Ninja Villages were established, the reputation of the Five Great Ninja Temples was overshadowed.

Perhaps it was what the first Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages did to the Five Great Temples at that time.

"He didn't even clean up the body. That guy looked really anxious." After a little investigation and finding nothing, Sasuke hid and waited for Asuma and others to arrive.

Asuma and others arrived very quickly. From here, we can see that Asuma is very worried about Jilu.

"Pick up the corpses." As soon as he saw the corpses of monks lying everywhere, Asuma immediately ordered Shikamaru and others to start cleaning up. At the same time, a group of monks also came up.

"Master Dilu's body was not found." Soon after the monk counted the bodies of his brothers, he reported to Asma Hui.

"Did Jilu escape?" Asuma whispered with expectation.

"Impossible, he would never escape if he were alive." Asma immediately denied his thoughts the next moment.

"According to the intelligence, that guy named Kakuzu loves money very much, right?" Shikamaru on the side suddenly said.

"Money exchange." Upon receiving Shikamaru's reminder, Asuma immediately woke up. After all, Jilu's bounty was worth thirty million on the black market.

"Okay, let's go find a money changer immediately. How many money changers are there nearby?"

A chuunin immediately took out the map. Judging from the marks on it, there were exactly three money exchange offices nearby. They were about the same distance from each other in three directions.

"Now divide into three groups. Remember, once you find traces of the enemy, don't take action. Notify others immediately, and wait until everyone is gathered before taking action." After the simple order, the twelve people immediately divided into three groups and ran in three directions.

go.
