Because it was getting closer and closer to the day when Kumogakure's envoy came to sign the peace agreement, Konoha had a rare sight of harmony and prosperity.
Even if it was for the sake of face engineering, the series of orders issued by the Hokage-sama had to be carried out, and they could not let Kumogakure's people look down on them, Konoha!
And after experiencing several months of war, Mikawa Team was not in a hurry to join the mission, and had always been in a state of holiday rest.
Taking this opportunity, Itachi and Gekko Hayate were both working hard to improve their strength, and Aoba was no exception. After distributing the photos of the women's clothing to the people he wanted, he entered a hard training.
Especially after seeing the dawn of merging with Kekkei Genkai, he really wanted to split the time into eight pieces.
At this time, the Shadow Clone Technique was put to use.
Although Aoba thought that his talent in ninjutsu was not good, the Shadow Clone Technique was really not difficult to practice. In the original work, Naruto only looked at it a few times and could use it. He felt that it was more "simple" than ordinary avatar technique.
In addition, Itachi specially taught him twice, and finally mastered it smoothly.
It was a pity that with his current chakra, he could at most maintain two shadow clones in a state of training.
However, this was equivalent to two times the amount of time he had in the air!
As expected of a cheating weapon!
[Hakuda], who had not moved for a long time, successfully upgraded to Level 6. Although physical attacks were no longer his main means of fighting, when he had no sword in his hand, he was still able to surprise his enemies!
It was when he finished his training and removed his shadow clone every day, that kind of feeling was really hard to describe.
The days where he devoted himself to train passed by very quickly. Until this day, Aoba received information from Obito.
Akatsuki was finally ready to make a move on Danzo!
However, what Obito meant was for him to investigate the whereabouts of Danzo at this moment and confirm whether the person who went to meet him was the real person.
Obviously, even after fishing for so long, there was an 80 percent chance that Danzo would take the bait. However, this was the only chance for him to take action. He had to be careful.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to kill Danzo.
With Danzo's thick skin, it was not impossible for him to hide in Konoha for his entire life as a coward.
After reading this information, Aoba immediately destroyed it, leaving not even a trace behind.
Then, he narrowed his eyes, flashing a cold light.
"Danzo, this time, it is finally my turn to scheme against you."
Therefore, Aoba turned around and went straight to the Hokage's office, and quarreled with Sarutobi.
The cover he used was naturally the matter of Danzo sending people to the front line to plot against him. He believed that Shikaku must have reported this matter to Sarutobi.
However, no matter how much he argued that he wanted to confront Danzo face-to-face, Sarutobi could not find Danzo this time.
In the end, perhaps because he was annoyed by his 'unreasonable', he revealed that Danzo had left the village two days ago and went out to do business.
As for where he went, Sarutobi did not say, and Aoba did not ask.
Because Sarutobi could not tell Danzo the real location, and it was even more impossible for Sarutobi to know that Danzo went out this time to unite with outsiders to kill him, so as to get the position of Hokage.
Even though he had been assassinated once, Sarutobi still believed in Danzo in his heart. This was really wonderful!
It was only when Sarutobi promised him that he would let Danzo give him an explanation when Danzo came back that he pulled a long face and left.
In the moment he walked out, however, the displeasure on Aoba's face turned into a cold smile.
"Danzo, I want to see if you will die this time!"
Soon, the news that Danzo had left the village two days ago was sent to Akatsuki.
......
A few more days.
In the original site of Land of Whirlpools, Danzo, who had set out in advance, had already arranged all the power he had in his hands in order not to fail miserably in an easy task.
Although he knew that all of Akatsuki's members had extraordinary skills and were all [S] Rank rebellions.
But in reality, he did not know the true strength of the other party. He only arranged it according to the 'common sense' and was very confident in himself.
After all, the reason why he could have his current status today was not just because of his methods. If not for the test of the Second Hokage, he would have retreated. How could the position of Third Hokage be given to Sarutobi!
Therefore, from the beginning, he did not place the hope of killing Sarutobi on this Akatsuki. His plan was to wait for the arrival of Kumogakure's envoy and let Akatsuki's people attack Kumogakure's people first, causing chaos.
Then, they would cooperate and take the opportunity to get rid of Sarutobi!
Once Sarutobi died, he would be able to stand up and clean up the mess.
Even if his reputation was already in a mess, there was a high chance of success.
Because of the sudden death of the Hokage, and the fact that he had signed a peace agreement with Kumogakure at this critical juncture where there could not be any accidents, besides him, who else would be able to hold the fort!
With both internal and external problems, it was only natural for him to be promoted.
Danzo had already planned everything, so Sarutobi had to die, and it would be best if he died in front of Kumogakure!
As for their past friendship?
Alright, after Sarutobi died, he would hold the grandest funeral as compensation.
I thought that the village was stable and developing. Can you please go to hell?
"Danzo-sama, we have already arranged everything. We have also arranged a way back."
"Mm. Did our spies discover any traces of the other party?"
"Not yet."
"Stay alert. Go."
"Yes, Danzo-sama."
.........
At the same time, within Land of Fire's territory.
"It seems that the leader is very concerned about the identity of those rats."
When Kakuzu spoke, he glanced at Fuma Clan ninja who was expressionless like a corpse beside him.
At this time, Zetsu crawled out of a tree and said, "This time, the leader will personally take action. We must not let anyone go."
Kakuzu withdrew his gaze and glanced at his partner with dissatisfaction. He said disdainfully, "It is enough with me taking action. I will take out every single one of their hearts. I hope that there will be some good stuff among them."
"It is not that the leader does not believe in your strength, but it must be foolproof. If you do not want to trouble the leader, then quickly deal with the other party. However, the person behind the other party must be handled by the leader himself."
Kakuzu couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile. "What a pitiful group of people. They actually angered the God."
"Don't worry, I won't snatch the prey from the leader. However, the heart of that person has to be handed over to me!"
"Alright, let's go. There is still a way to go before the agreed location."
After Hidan and the others left, countless beasts revealed a green gaze towards the bloody corpse on the ground.
