After heavily injuring the Third Kazekage twice in a row, Aoba took advantage of the time when all of Sunagakure's ninjas went to check on the Third Kazekage's condition and quickly ran to the other side of the forest.
After running for about three minutes.
Aoba confirmed that no one was chasing after him.
He immediately communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula on the tower.
The next moment.
Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). His figure flashed and disappeared, directly returning to Konohagakure.
At this point.
It was impossible for Sunagakure ninjas to catch up with Aoba.
They would only know that their Third Kazekage had been attacked by two Kumogakure ninjas. They also knew the appearance and name of the two people, but it was impossible to find them again.
After Aoba returned to the tower.
He sat directly on the third-floor observation platform.
He looked down at the dense forest below through the observation tower.
"I thought I wouldn't be coming here for a while..." Aoba stared at the trees and muttered to himself.
He didn't have to come here.
Instead, the system's electronic prompt just now tempted him, and wanted to give it a try.
Earlier.
Aoba's right hand touched the Third Kazekage's head and directly triggered the Mind Reading System.
"Ding Dong! Successfully read Kazekage's memory for the first time! Obtained: Magnet Release Bloodline Limit!"
The voice that had just sounded in Aoba's mind still echoed in his mind.
Magnet Release Bloodline Limit!
Wasn't that the ability that the Third Kazekage used?
Earlier, when Aoba pulled the Third Kazekage's hair.
He had the intention to read the Third Kazekage's memories, but he never thought that he would receive a reward like the Bloodline Limit.
"Reading Kazekage's memories for the first time..."
Aoba pinched his chin with his right hand and frowned slightly. His gaze toward the trees in the distance gradually became serious, and his eyes flickered with a pondering light.
"According to the reward brought by the system prompt and the description made by the system, I should be able to read a ninja again with the title of Kage and receive even more generous rewards!
Aoba silently made a judgment in his mind. His head was spinning quickly, and according to his experience and judgment, he analyzed the electronic prompt tone of the system just now.
"The system specifically emphasized Kazekage, which means that the other four Kage can trigger special rewards. It may be the ability of the other party or some kind of bloodline limit..."
Based on the current information, Aoba came to this conclusion conservatively.
The current situation.
He was already very satisfied.
"I don't know if the Fourth or Fifth Kazekage will trigger such a special mechanism in the future, or I can only do it once in Kazekage?"
Aoba began to become excited in his heart. This kind of reward gradually aroused his interest.
The method of obtaining ninjutsu before had already made him feel that it was meaningless.
After all, he could also learn ninjutsu through Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique).
In the recent period of time.
The biggest function of the Mind Reading System was to obtain the memories in other people's heads and obtain the most real and accurate information.
Now, it made him a little hopeful. Maybe in the future, he could trigger a special reward mechanism.
After a simple judgment, Aoba had a rough idea in his heart, and his understanding of the Mind Reading System became deeper.
Of course.
Just now, he had obtained not only the Magnet Bloodline Limit but also the memories of the Fifth Kazekage.
It was just that he temporarily put these memories aside.
It was still not too late to slowly look at them in the future.
For the time being, the memories of the Fifth Kazekage would not affect the situation too much.
Its priority level was far below that of Hari.
Nevertheless.
Aoba did not have time to check Hari's memories carefully.
After all, Hari's memories had only been read yesterday.
"Let me check it!"
Aoba took a step forward and walked from the third level of the tower toward the dojo on the first level.
Soon.
Aoba reached the center of the dojo.
Right now, he was standing in the center of the dojo, his eyes looking straight ahead. He tried to breathe as steadily as possible to ease the excitement in the depths of his heart.
Instantly.
Aoba reached his right hand into the ninja bag, took out a large number of shuriken, and directly threw them in the air.
The number of shurikens was around twenty.
This was already the number of shurikens that he could take out now.
One had to know that he usually did not need this kind of thing.
As these shurikens flew into the air, they began to fall freely after reaching the highest point.
"Now!"
Aoba's eyes slightly lit up. He converted the chakra in his body into magnet chakras and instantly cast it on his hands.
His hands seemed to form a unique magnetic field.
This magnetic field made the shurikens in the air seem to be grabbed by an invisible big hand. It began to be pulled, and then there were different changes.
"Forward!"
Aoba was like general giving orders. As he said this, he waved his hands forward. A unique magnetic field formed between his palms, pulling the shuriken in front of him and constantly flying forward.
"Come back!"
Aoba suddenly pulled back his hands, and a strange scene suddenly appeared. The shuriken that flew forward suddenly stopped.
Just a moment later.
The shuriken flew back at an even faster speed, and their target was Aoba.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
More than twenty shurikens in front of Aoba continuously flew toward him. It did not look like an invisible hand was controlling them, but more like an invisible person throwing shuriken at Aoba.
"Stop!"
Aoba said lightly. As soon as he finished speaking, the shuriken that flew over all stopped in front of him.
The shurikens did not continue to fly forward, nor did they retreat backward, nor did they fall down. Instead, they floated in front of them as if time had stopped.
"This feeling is very wonderful!"
Aoba moved his hand, and the shurikens were like obedient babies as they flew back to his palm in an orderly manner and firmly stacked together.
Then, Aoba put all the shuriken back into his ninja pouch.
The process just now.
It was just a test.
Using the simplest method to test the Magnet Bloodline Limit.
He didn't use too complicated ninjutsu applications.
"Another trump card!"
Aoba nodded with satisfaction. He did not care about having more trump cards. For him, the more trump cards he had, the better. The more, the more comfortable it was.
Just as he put the shuriken into the ninja bag, he raised his eyes again and looked in Konohagakure's main entrance direction.
"Kumogakure's envoy group is here. I just don't know what they are like now. It's time to go take a look!"
Aoba did not leave a clone behind to monitor Kumogakure's envoy group.
Now that things had come to this point.
He no longer needed to do anything else.
The only thing left was to be a spectator.
As long as the people of the ninja world performed normally, this Third Ninja World War was unavoidable.
After all.
Even if he was not in the middle of causing trouble.
The Third Ninja World War had already erupted. Right now, all he had to do was push the boat with the current, allowing this battle to erupt quickly.
It was the same as ending it quickly.
According to the information in Naruto Anime that Aoba had watched. The Third Ninja War had fought many long battles. In this long process, it had accumulated too much pain.
Especially when the war reached the second half.
Even the students who had just graduated from the Ninja School had to go to the battlefield.
It could be said that there weren't many people left.
At this time.
It was still a pretty good stage.
After the various powers had vented their anger, they could quickly enter a stable stage for their own development.
Instantly.
Aoba communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula on the cliff on the side of the Hokage Rock.
Before he left to chase after the Sunagakure ninjas, he left a Flying Thunder God Formula on it.
Swish!
Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). With a flash, he disappeared and instantly appeared on the cliff of Hokage Rock.
...
Just as Aoba left to chase after the Sunagakure ninjas, it could also be said that it was after the Sunagakure ninjas left.
Hiruzen immediately walked in the direction of Konohagakure's main entrance at the fastest speed.
With the departure of the Third Hokage.
Many of Konohagakure's higher-ups also followed in the direction of the main gate.
These people had just gone to the main gate and waited for half a day with the Third Hokage. They only left because of Sunagakure's ninja invasion.
Now that Sunagakure ninjas was coaxed away, Kumogakure ninja team came.
All of a sudden.
Everyone's face looked a bit gloomy and solemn.
No one knew what Kumogakure's envoy group was thinking. No one was sure if they had no malicious intentions.
For Konohagakure and the entire ninja world, what this negotiation meant was something that none of them could say now.
"What's the situation with Kumogakure's envoy group?" Hiruzen asked Akaru, who had come to greet them not far away.
"Right now, Kumogakure's envoy group is in a relatively close and not far distance. For them, it can be considered a safe distance. They did not immediately approach Konohagakure. Instead, they sent someone to express their request. He is still waiting outside the entrance. Should we let him in?" Akaru said to Hiruzen. Right now, that Kumogakure ninja was still waiting outside the main entrance, and no one paid him any attention.
"Let him in. I will ask him myself." Hiruzen nodded. His mood had calmed down a lot. This matter made him very angry, but the angrier he was, the calmer he became.
Kumogakure's envoy group and Sunagakure's ninja invasion.
These two things that seemed to be unrelated appeared one after another.
If this was just a coincidence.
No matter what the Hiruzen said, they would not believe it, even himself.
There might be coincidences in this world, but there definitely would not be such a coincidence. Now that such a thing could happen, it could only mean one thing.
There was a problem in itself!
There was definitely someone controlling all of this. It was very likely that it was Kumogakure. It was also possible that it was Sunagakure. It was even possible that it was someone other than Kumogakure and Sunagakure. For example, Iwagakure or Kirigakure.
However...
Hiruzen did not feel that it had anything to do with Konohagakure's people.
In his knowledge.
There was only one person who had the ability to plan such a coincidence.
That was Shimura Danzo.
He believed that Danzo would lay his hands on him during the internal strife, but when it came to life and death of the village, he would prioritize the village.
Because the village was the most important.
Hiruzen did not list Konohagakure as the taraget.
Step, step, step...
As Hiruzen was thinking, heavy footsteps came from behind him.
The owner of this series of footsteps.
It was none other than Shimura Danzo, who he had never doubted.
Danzo walked in front, followed by two Konohagakure advisors.
Koharu and Homura.
The three of them came to Hiruzen's back. After standing quietly, Danzo glanced at him.
"Why is Kumogakure's envoy group here?"
Danzo asked in a low voice. This was his current doubt. He had originally thought that Kumogakure's envoy would not be here. This was because through his communication with Hari; he had learned that Kumogakure's higher-ups had already sent Gasshi to assassinate Hari. In Hari's opinion, this was a method that they did not want to carry out a negotiation.
The reason for Kumogakure's negotiation was very simple. It was to use a truce method to exchange for Hari.
If Kumogakure wanted to develop smoothly, they needed a strong brain.
Now, this brain had been captured.
It was not a problem to exchange this brain for some sacrifices.
But...
After the intervention of Aoba, such a thing had become a different thing in Hari's heart.
Hari had already successfully determined that he was a burden in the eyes of Kumogakure's higher-ups. It would waste a lot of time and energy to save him, but if he did not save him, it might cause the other ninjas in the village to be disappointed.
Because of these reasons.
Kumogakure sent Gasshi to assassinate him in the name of saving him!
Not only that.
In Hari's opinion.
The higher-ups might have disliked him for a long time.
After all, when he brought Kumogakure's envoy group over, Gasshi had already started to stir up trouble. He found it hard to believe that this was Gasshi's spontaneous action. After all, Gasshi was Kumogakure Jonin. He still had the most basic quality of ninja when doing missions, so the greater possibility was that Gasshi had received orders from the higher-ups. When he came with Kumogakure's envoy group, besides getting a mission about Byakugan, there were other secret missions.
That secret mission was likely to put him in a disadvantageous situation.
After Hari was completely injured and could no longer move, his mind became clearer and clearer. His thoughts spun faster and faster.
As for whether he was right or wrong, that was another matter. Anyway, he thought more.
Gradually, he began to have paranoia.
After he reviewed all the recent events.
The conclusion he got.
They were all drawing closer to the conclusion that someone was trying to harm him behind his back.
Because of this.
In the analysis he had given Danzo, he had already given him a lot of information.
What Kumogakure's motives were to kill him.
This was also why Danzo wondered why Kumogakure's envoy group came.
In the morning, when he was waiting.
He felt that it was very normal for Kumogakure's envoy not to come.
Others did not know.
He was still very clear.
Root was attacked from the inside.
The attacker was a Kumogakure Jonin named Gasshi.
According to the appraisal report given by the medical ninja, if Gasshi used a little bit of strength or even a little bit of angle, Hari would undoubtedly die.
But Hari had miraculously survived!
This was to Danzo's knowledge.
It would no longer be considered mercy.
No matter which angle one looked at it from, it would not be showing mercy, and it could even be said that it had nothing to do with it.
Especially for a rough person like Gasshi, he simply could not do such a meticulous job of preserving his life under extreme conditions.
Then there was only one reason that could explain it.
Hari was lucky!
He had really managed to survive just like that!
From another perspective...
It could also be considered that Gasshi's assassination mission had failed.
However.
That was the problem.
According to Danzo's speculation, Gasshi should not have known that the mission had failed. If he had not let the medical ninja rescue him in time, Hari would have died.
Then...
What was the purpose of Kumogakure's ninja coming here?
For a moment.
A big question mark appeared in Danzo's head. He was not very clear about what was going on here, but he always felt that things were not as simple as he thought.
Hiruzen looked at Danzo slightly. He could feel from Danzo's doubts that the matter between Kumogakure and Sunagakure had nothing to do with him.
"I don't know what's going on with Kumogakure's envoy group right now. We've already invited him over. Let's listen to what he has to say together!" Hiruzen said in a deep voice.
"Alright." Danzo nodded and did not say anything else. He just stood quietly behind Hiruzen, silently waiting for the Kumogakure ninja to arrive.
Not long after, the conversation between Hiruzen and Danzo ended.
In the direction of Konohagakure's main entrance.
A Kumogakure ninja walked in under the watch of several Konohagakure ninjas.
This was the Kumogakure ninja who Brei ordered to explain the situation to Konohagakure.
