Akabane turns around and uses his superb sense to detect the surrounding situation.
"The number of traitors is not right. It is two or three times more than before. Even if there are some ninjas from Sand Village, the number is far more than the information given to me by the Third Hokage."
but...
The Konoha's ninja here must have grasped this information, but they just failed to return to Konoha from the front line in time.
Akabane returned to the tavern and found a place to sit down after entering the door.
A lot of gossip can be found in the tavern, especially in such a place where rebels gather. Some news may even be impossible to find through regular channels.
He was drinking, and there were many people around him bragging, but it was a pity that there was no valuable information, it was all trivial gossip, such as the murder of the rebellious tycoon Chuchu, and another update of the Love in the Dessert from Jiraiya's book.
of course...
Occasionally there are some things worth paying attention to, as some people talk about the comic Naruto.
Although the comic of Naruto is only sold in the country of fire, but now the people in the Land of River are diverse, and many wandering warriors have been to the country of fire and have a little understanding there.
Afterwards, a ninja whispered: "I heard that this time, Hidden Sand Village dispatched their Jinchuuriki to raze the Land-of-Rivers to the ground."."
"No way...If this kind of power is deployed, isn't it dangerous for us to continue to stay in the Land-of-Rivers?"
Others were surprised.
However, some people have spoken, saying that they have also heard such rumours.
Akabane frowned slightly, then he got up and turned to carry the wine, and asked, "You just said that Hidden Sand Village is going to dispatch their Jinchuuriki. Where did the news come from?"
"Many people are spreading it, and I don't know where it came from."
The other party answered naturally like he was entrusted to spread the news.
Akabane lifted the glass and drank it all, then got up and went to the back of the tavern to find Nakagawa to confirm the news.
Nakagawa's answer is no different from these people.
Not only that, but he also said another thing to Akabane: "Before, there were some acquaintances who wanted to hire us using money to spread the news, but at that time we had already followed you and made a lot of money, so we refused."
"Employment... Go and ask, I need to hire people over there."
"Huh? Yes, I will ask now."
Nakagawa was a little surprised, and he was so puzzled. Everyone now only needs to sell alcohol and open a store to make money, so why bother to do that kind of life-and-death business.
But the one who asked is the boss, so he can only do his best to accomplish it.
After consulting his subordinates, Akabane returned to the room, thinking about what happened just now.
Konoha knew that Hidden Sand Village wanted to use Jinchuriki because the Anbu ninja, who was lurking inside Land-of-Wind, reported that the Jinchuriki who had been detained had been released.
But most of the people in the Land of River are wandering samurai and wandering ninjas. So from which channel did they hear about this news?
Akabane feels that something was wrong.
Whoever uses the Jinchuuriki power secretly but still spreads news everywhere, which only shows that the goal of the Sand Village is most likely not the Land of the river!
Of course, these are just guesses, and the specific situation can only be judged based on Nakagawa's reply.
There is too little information.
It wasn't until the evening, Nakagawa finally came back.
"My Lord, my friend is now a little leader here, and he is responsible for recruiting people from Chaochuan Town. He said let us wait for the news, and as long as the time is up, we will get a lot of money!
Akabane had a strange expression.
"My lord, shall we participate?"
Nakagawa was a little bit tempted as he wanted to go to make money. This kind of good thing cannot be missed!
Akabane glanced at him, said with a sneer: "Go, just cooperate with Kakuzu, let him help find a new subordinate."
"Um... do you think there is fraud?"
Nakagawa was immediately convinced.
Looking at this guy, Araki Noryo is ten times braver than him, but this guy hasn't been overwhelmed yet. Akabane even plans to wait for the young man to grow up and change this guy to become the head.
Since from his reaction alone, he knows this guy won't last lost.
Akabane sighed inwardly and said: "There is no free lunch in the world."
It's obviously a lie!
If they followed what the little leader said, he was afraid that they would go to the battlefield and become a meat shield in the fight!
As for money, if people are gone, do they still need to pay them?
Akabane became more sure of the guess in his mind that the goal of the Sand Village was not the country of the river but another place, but there must be some actions on the country of the river.
He walked upstairs, after pondering for a while, he split out a shadow clone and went to the caravan, where the information should be handed over to the people over there to send to the Hokage!
—__—
Sand Village.
Zack was wearing a slightly spacious Kazekage robe and stood respectfully in front of the hospital bed.
"Teacher, I still don't understand why we don't fight the fertile Land-of-Rivers, but instead provoke the Land-of-Birds, which is very close to Hidden Rain Village and Hidden Stone Village. I am afraid that Hanzo and Stone Ninja will be provoked at the same time."
Zack was a little worried and puzzled.
Shamon's situation was miserable. Danzo cut off his hand and abolished his leg. In the end, if it weren't for a two-inch gap, he might be killed on the spot. How can he survive?
of course...
He is not alive either, because half of his body has been transformed into puppets, plus the loss of a hand, he no longer has the possibility of using hand seals, and he can only use Puppet Master Jutsu and low difficulty Taijutsu with his current condition.
For Shamon who is good at ninjutsu and Taijutsu, his combat power has been reduced in half.
However, these injuries did not affect his thinking. There was a pile of comic books on the table next to them. These comics were all Naruto that was only sold in Fire Country.
Shamon spoke with difficulty: "Hehe, you worried about Hanzo and Stone Ninja but not Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha?"
"Konoha should not be able to cope with the battlefield of the Uzumaki Kingdom. If we miss this opportunity, I don't know when we will be able to get the Land of the River."
Zack said unwillingly.
"Zack, there are no such words as should, if, and possible in war. Hidden Sand Village can't make mistakes. Why do you think other Ninja Villages have to destroy Land-of-Whirlpools?"
"You can also think about this. Konoha is much better than us when using seals and Jinchuuriki."
As Shamon said that, he bitterly picked up a book of comics and pointed at the symbol on Naruto Uzumaki's belly. "These Jutsu formulas may be Kurama Akabane's nonsense, but it is enough to show that he understands Sealing Jutsu, even if he is from a Genjutsu specialist clan, he has mastered Sealing Jutsu..."
And these are not the key points.
The key is the evil sealing method, Five-Elements Seal, etc. mentioned above. They don't know how to do it, let alone Dead Demon Consuming Seal, Four-Tetragram Seal, Eight-Sign Seal, They sound like a jutsu from Heavenly Book, and they don't know what kind of Sealing Jutsu it is.
Like the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, is that a technique that humans can master?
The Uzumaki clan is the devil, seriously affecting the balance of the Ninja World, and deserves to be annihilated by everyone!
He was indignant!
The more ignorant a person is, the more fearless he is. But the more you know, the more fearful and timid you are.
And Shamon was in this situation, especially after reading the comic, it was almost as if he had a Konoha phobia.
But his concerns are not without reason.
If they really attack the Land-of-Rivers. He was afraid of Shukaku being sealed by the Konoha after it was released. If the Hidden Sand Village plan fails, they still have to make money and even various natural resources to give to Konoha just to redeem their tailed beast if that happens!
The gain is not worth the loss…
Zack stared at that set of comics for a long time, and whispered, "Teacher, this is just a comic."
"No, it is not just a comic. It is another aspect of Konoha. There are many names in it that we have never heard of. Are you sure Konoha does not have that ninjutsu?"
Shamon smiled bitterly.
After hearing this, Zack was stunned, and then he wanted to refute, but thought of what the teacher had just said, "Don't say should, maybe and if", and immediately stopped what he wanted to say.
At least everyone knows the bottom line of the Land of Stone, but for Konoha...
Eight-Inner Gates, Impure World Reincarnation, heaven knows, is there such a heaven-defying Ninjutsu in the world? If Konoha faces a desperate situation and uses these Forbidden Jutsu, it is Hidden Sand Village that will suffer.
Zack wants to say they don't exist, but the Chidori Jutsu that Sakumo from the Hatake Clan used from last time is valid proof.
And Hidden Sand cannot afford to pay the wrong price.
Konoha didn't know anything about the Sand Village situation.
But if they know that Shamon is alive, they can guess the Hidden Sand Village's goal pretty close based on this information. After all, Konoha and Shamon have hand-to-hand combat many times and know each other.
But young people like Zack are different.
And Zack is like a newborn calf who does not fear tigers. The biggest strong points of newcomers are fearlessness, and its shortcoming is also being fearless.
But Akabane is different.
He is very afraid of death, and he must first collect information clearly before making the next strategy.
So when he didn't understand the result and wanted to know the situation, Akabane gave this information to Kakuzu, who was active in Chaochuan Town. How to contact and how to find that person was all clear.
Kakuto was very happy with this information and even promised to give Akabane a part of the reward.
This type of MLM organization may be a quagmire and trap for others, but for Kakuzu, it is simply a paradise that can no longer be wonderful-
He is currently short of money and manpower.
And it's Perfect win-win cooperation!
Of course, Akabane doesn't need money, what he wants is information from the organization, and that information is more useful than money.
Like today's information, he has already told Konoha about several ninjas hidden in the caravan. According to the feedback from the clone, there are three ninjas from Aburame Clan members, three Inuzuka Clan members, and two Uchiha clan members on stand-by on the Land of River.
If there is no accident, there should be some action there.
