Burning Ambition!

Chapter 57 Burning Ambition! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

The battle in the valley did not last long.

The Iwa ninja here consist of only two small teams, the strongest of which is a Jonin.

While Hoshino and his group included three Jonin, Danzo was arguably a Kage-level ninja.

Not to mention the number of ninjas far exceeding that of Iwagakure.

After cleaning up the battlefield and taking the bodies of the Iwa ninja with them, Hoshinobi and her group returned to Amegakure and saw the bodies of other Iwa ninja, more than a dozen in total.

The results are considerable.

However, in terms of numbers, they are not as many as the Iwa ninjas that Xingxia Xiu killed in two separate incidents.

The others stayed outside, while Hoshino Hide and Shimura Daichi followed Danzo and met Hanzo again in the conference room.

After a friendly exchange, Danzo didn't linger and took his leave immediately.

After leaving Amegakure, Hoshino suddenly looked back at the village shrouded in mist and rain, as if he could hear the footsteps of war.

He knows the future.

Until roughly the time when the Second Shinobi World War broke out.

But for the first time, I truly felt that war was slowly approaching.

"A, what's wrong?"

Seeing Hoshino Hide's actions, Shimura Daichi couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Xingxia Xiu turned around and said, "I see war approaching us, and I hear its footsteps."

Shimura Daichi was taken aback when he heard this.

Danzo, who was walking ahead, said, "Hanzo's ambition has been unleashed after this incident, and Amegakure may become the starting point for the Fourth Shinobi World War."

He has decided to intensify surveillance of the activities of Amegakure.

As the Star Show said.

Konoha may have demigods around it, but it will never allow a new god of ninja to emerge!

……

The border of the Land of Earth.

The corpses were brought here by the Rain Ninja and were quickly discovered by the border defense forces of Iwagakure.

"hateful!"

"asshole!"

"Captain, those guys haven't gone far. Let's make our move!"

"Yes, we must take revenge!"

Seeing the corpses of their comrades on the ground, the Iwa ninja were filled with rage.

The leader of the Iwa ninja, suppressing his anger, calmly shouted, "Shut up! War requires the Third Tsuchikage's order!"

"This matter must be reported to the Third Tsuchikage for a decision."

"As for revenge, we must trust the Third Tsuchikage!"

The many Iwa ninja stopped clamoring after hearing this, but their anger and hatred did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, they continued to accumulate due to suppression.

……

It was already night when the intelligence arrived at Iwagakure.

As Ōnoki looked at the intelligence report that had been delivered, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.

Hanzo's actions are too arrogant!

However, as Onoki looked at the list of corpses, he also sensed that something was wrong.

"This matter is also related to Konoha..."

Onoki snorted and began issuing orders.

That night, Iwa ninja were unusually busy.

But information about the Land of Rain was also gradually being delivered to Onoki's desk.

Although the power of the Iwa ninja in the Land of Rain suffered a huge blow, it was not completely eradicated. Some of them remained hidden very deeply, and there were also many spies hidden in the Amegakure village.

When it gets light.

Onoki has made it absolutely certain that Konoha and Amegakure will join forces.

This made him frown.

The ninja world is in turmoil, and everyone is expanding their armies.

At this time, it is unusual for Konoha to suddenly join forces with Amegakure to target Iwagakure, regardless of the reason.

Even... is it possible that Konoha and Amegakure are really going to form a military alliance?

The Land of Rivers, the Land of Grass, the Land of Birds...

Onoki's gaze fell upon the map of the ninja world.

Konoha had noticed Hanzo's ambition, and Ōnoki naturally couldn't remain silent about it.

After staring at the map for a long time, Onoki finally gave the order.

It's not revenge.

It was an intelligence mission targeting Amegakure (the Hidden Rain Village) and the Land of Rain.

Increase the intensity of covert infiltration efforts.

Increase intelligence gathering efforts.

Revenge is not in a hurry now.

Iwagakure cannot be the first to start a war.

……

It was the second day after Hoshino returned to Konoha.

After taking a nap, he applied to enter the Root's archives to copy the illusions stored there.

After trying it, Xingxiaxiu discovered...

The hypnotic talent granted by the [Hypnotist Master] is most effective when practicing hypnotic ninjutsu.

For example, hypnotic illusions like the Nirvana Abode Technique can be learned in a very short time, even at the A-level.

However, even non-hypnotic ninjutsu, at least B-rank, is very slow to master.

For example, the art of darkness.

However, this still did not diminish Xingxia Xiu's enthusiasm for practicing illusion techniques.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The latest novel is first published here!

The status update is getting closer.

Xingxia Xiu put down the illusion scroll in his hand, thought for a moment, and made a decision.

I created my own hypnotic illusion technique!

The Root has a lot of genjutsu-type ninjutsu, but very few hypnotic ones.

He has made a lot of progress in his research these past few days, but he feels it will be difficult to achieve the state of "Master Hypnotist".

Perhaps creating a hypnotic illusion similar to Nirvana Abode would be possible.

After making the decision, Hoshino immediately immersed herself in research.

at the same time.

Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi gathered together.

"Although the Iwa ninja are active in the Land of Rain quite frequently, they have no intention of starting a war."

Danzo reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He has been keeping a close eye on the situation in the Land of Rain these past few days.

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened with a hint of regret: "Onoki is like a stubborn rock; he is indeed not an impulsive person."

If the Iwa ninja directly attacks Amegakure, it will be extremely advantageous for Konoha.

Danzo said, "That's true."

"However, judging from the actions of the Iwa ninja, it's only a matter of time before they take action against Amegakure."

"If Hanzo starts to expand his power, Onoki will definitely make a move."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then asked, "What about Sunagakure?"

Danzo said, "Sunagakure didn't react much."

"However, if Hanzo makes a move against the Land of Rivers, the Sand Village will definitely not stand by and watch."

"When the three great ninja villages make their move, even if Hanzo is a demigod, he won't be able to withstand it. We must also crush his ambitions."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "You'll be in charge of Amegakure."

"Lady Mito can't hold on much longer, make sure Hoshino Shu is ready!"

Danzo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded, "Understood!"

After leaving the Hokage Building and returning to the Root base, Danzo immediately ordered Hoshino Shige to be summoned.

"Lord Danzo!"

Xingxia Xiu, who had left behind a clone to cultivate, arrived in a hurry.

Danzo stood with his hands behind his back, his back to Hoshino: "A, in the next three months, you must master the Wood Release technique to subdue the Tailed Beasts."

Hoshino Hide felt a chill run down his spine and said, "Lady Mito, she..."

Danzo nodded slightly: "The Nine-Tails has reached a point where it must be moved."

"Although the village has a mature sealing technique, the Nine-Tails is the most powerful of the nine tailed beasts. Just in case, it would be best to have a Wood Release technique."

"Furthermore, the new Jinchūriki is still too young to perfectly suppress the Nine-Tails' power, which also requires the Wood Release technique to suppress it."

Upon hearing this, Xingxia Xiu immediately replied in a low voice, "Understood, Your subordinate will not disappoint you, sir!"

Danzo nodded, then turned around and stared at Hoshino Hide, saying, "Jinchūriki are an important weapon for the village, but they are also a weapon that is easy to lose control of."

"But with the Wood Release technique, it becomes a powerful, controllable weapon."

"I need you to take control of this weapon!"

Xingxia Xiu slightly raised his head: "Understood!"

"Your subordinate will certainly master this weapon for you, sir!"

Danzo nodded: "Go!"

Xingxia Xiu bowed respectfully, then disappeared.

Only now did a hint of excitement appear on Danzo's expressionless face.

With Wood Release and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at his disposal, who can replace Hiruzen as the Fourth Hokage after him?

Nobody has that right!

At that moment, Danzo's deep-seated ambition ignited.
