Konoha.
Hokage Tower.
In Hiruzen's office, Hiruzen, Danzō, Koharu and Homura sat face to face on the sofa.
The letters from Orochimaru have arrived, and they all know about the Yuki Shinobi using Ice Release Ninjutsu who suddenly appeared on the understood battlefield.
"The war between Mist Shinobi and us is not over yet, but Yuki Clan dispatched Shinobi to interfere in the Sunagakure's Shinobi battlefield…"
Danzō lowered his eye and said, "Hiruzen, you should know something."
Hiruzen smoked his tobacco pipe, his eyes fell on the smoke, and he said: "Danzō, what do you mean?"
"Yuki Aoi!"
Danzō said dissatisfiedly, "On the Crescent Moon Island, Yuki Aoi betrayed Kirigakure's Shinobi, and instead colluded with Gekkō Kanpū and killed several Kirigakure's Shinobi. After that, Yuki Aoi disappeared."
"Do you suspect that it was Yuki Aoi who appeared in the Sunagakure Battlefield?" Hiruzen took a deep puff of his tobacco pipe, making his brain work faster!
'If Yuki Aoi is really a member of the Abyss organization, then his purpose in appearing on battlefield is to protect Kanpū who was hunted down by Pakura at that time?'
'But how did Yuki Aoi know that Kanpū would appear there?'
'I have been following Kanpū secretly, or is it that Kanpū has always been connected with the Abyss?'
Later, Hiruzen recalled that after Kanpū ran away, Aoi did not leave directly, but led Pakura away instead. After the two left the battlefield, the two of them did not have a fight…
Hiruzen took another puff of his pipe, his brain spun so fast, and he instantly thought of another possibility!
'Maybe, Yuki Aoi's goal is not Kanpū, but the Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai Shinobi, Pakura!'
'Yuki Aoi appeared on the battlefield to invite Pakura to join the Abyss, but when he met Pakura, she was chasing down the Abyss's 'reserved member', Kanpū, so he tried to stop it…'
'This makes sense.'
"Hiruzen, you should now tell us the information about why Yuki Aoi betrayed Kirigakure." Homura pushed his glasses frame on the bridge of his nose and looked at Hiruzen with a serious and persistent face.
Hiruzen shook his head and said: "It's not yet time to make it public."
Hearing this, Koharu said: "Hiruzen, you…"
"Koharu, Homura, Danzō, don't ask any more. When the time is right, I will tell you all about this." Hiruzen interrupted them, then he extinguished his tobacco pipe and said, "Land of Lightning's Kumogakure has already increased their troops on the border. I am worried that Kumogakure will invade soon, so let's focus on this war."
Upon hearing this, Koharu and Homura glance at each other, and sighed helplessly.
But Danzō stood up and said: "Hiruzen, I'm going to the Land of Rain."
"Why?" Hiruzen was puzzled.
"The defeat of Sunagakure is already a matter of time, but Iwagakure's strength has not been damaged in the slightest. I will stop Iwagakure's Shinobi in the Land of Rain!"
Hiruzen turned silent. He knew what Danzō was going to do. It was nothing more than pretending to be Iwagakure's Shinobi to kill Amegakure's Shinobi, and then pretending to be Amegakure's Shinobi to attack Iwagakure's Shinobi, instigating relations between the two countries.
If Sunagakure's Shinobi is kicked out from the Land of Fire, they can pretend to be Sunagakure's Shinobi and attack Iwagakure's Shinobi, pretend to be Iwagakure's Shinobi and continue to attack Sunagakure's Shinobi, letting the chaos expand, making all forces to fight against each other, and buy time for the Land of Fire.
Danzō looked at Hiruzen, who nodded: "Be careful."
"Understood."
...
When Kanpū arrived in the Land of Rain, he doesn't know how many days it rained here. As the rain water in the wild was already ankle-deep.
Rumble!
In the sky covered with clouds, there was a thunderbolt bursting, and the rain seemed to become a little heavier.
Kanpū is wearing a hooded raincoat at this time, he's standing on the water as deep as his ankles, and looked around.
Orochimaru transferred him to the Land of Rain to execute mission, but he didn't tell him the specific content, only ordered him wait here, saying that he will be meeting his other companions.
Kanpū has a smile at the corner of his mouth, because he knew that the child who loves to laugh will not have bad luck.
Half an hour later, a group of figures suddenly rushed through the rain.
Kanpū instantly tightened his muscles upon seeing this. Now that the situation in the Land of Rain is very chaotic, no one knows which force the Shinobi in front of him belong to!
He stared at them, but the rain was too heavy, and the cascading raindrops looked like thousands of rain curtains, which seriously affected his vision.
Kanpū moved his hands and immediately used Sensor Ninjutsu.
The sensory tentacles quickly spread around, and soon enveloped the group of people in front of him.
After sensing them, Kanpū's heart skipped a beat. There are more than fifty people appearing within his sensing range, and everyone's human-shaped lines are very clear! According to his experience, these people's Chakra Reserves are above Tokubetsu Jōnin!
In other words, this is an elite force composed of more than fifty members, with the weakest being Tokubetsu Jōnin!
When Kanpū was still stunned, a familiar voice came from the rain curtain.
"Gekkō Kanpū…"
'Huh?'
Kanpū's pupils shrank, 'This voice…'
'Shimura Danzō?!'
'Root?!'
'Orochimaru, that crazy bastard…'
At this moment, Kanpū wanted to scold Orochimaru's seven ancestor!
After a while, more than fifty Root's Shinobi, led by Danzō passed through the rain curtain and appeared in front of Kanpū.
Now that Kanpū stood face to face with fifty Tokubetsu Jōnin or above, he feels particularly bleary.
"Danzō-sama." Kanpū immediately ripped off the dynamic vision and replaced it with benevolent eyes.
Danzō nodded with a sullen expression. For some reason, at this moment, he felt that Kanpū's face is particularly kind and amiable, and then he said: "Your subsequent mission is to cooperate with me, understand?"
"Yes!"
Kanpū's eyes were bright and filled with expression of 'I, Gekkō Kanpū, was really lucky to be able to follow our village's star of hope, Shimura Danzō-sama.'
Danzō's figure flickered, and he directly passed over Kanpū and continue to run forward.
More than fifty Root's Shinobi behind him also immediately followed.
Kanpū sighed silently, and could only follow them.
As they continued to run, a Root's Shinobi suddenly appeared next to Kanpū. Amidst the sound of the rain, he heard an emotionless voice: "Gekkō Kanpū, Danzō-sama asks you to come over and speak."
"…understood."
Kanpū took a deep breath, then flashed quickly, and soon caught up with Danzō.
"Kanpū…"
Danzō didn't look at Kanpū, who was behind him, and said, "What's wrong with that Yuki?"
"Yuki?"
Under the hood, Kanpū deliberately showed a puzzled look. After it flickered on his face in an instant, he said, "Is Danzō-sama talking about the one who appeared in the Sunagakure Battlefield before?"
Danzō did not answer.
Kanpū continued: "Sorry, I don't know either."
"That Yuki is probably the Young Clan Head of Yuki Clan, Yuki Aoi!"
Danzō said with a deep voice, and even the sound of rain can't cover it up, "On the Crescent Moon Island, Yuki Aoi betrayed Kirigakure, and cooperated with you to kill the other Kirigakure's Shinobi on the island. Why would Yuki Aoi do such thing for you!"
Kanpū showed a guilty expression as he spoke: "Danzō-sama, Hokage-sama ordered me not tell other people about this matter."
"Including me?" Danzō's tone was cold, showing no emotion.
Kanpū's mind spun quickly, and then he said with a difficult and bitter tone: "After joining Anbu, Hokage-sama had someone put a Forbidden Technique in my brain. Once I say the relevant words, I will, I will…"
Kanpū doesn't know what will happen, anyway, he is just dragging it.
If Danzō really checks it, he can only pretend 'Aiya, it turns out that Hokage-sama lied to me', and then revealed the information of the Abyss to him. If Danzō does not check, then he can continue to coax him.
At this time, Danzō's eye showed a bit of disdain, not at Kanpū, but at Hiruzen: 'You shameless old man, in the end, didn't you trying to keep secrets like me?'
'Hmph!'
