Chapter 214: Great Changes in the Land of Fire
The Third Mizukage stepped down, one because of his own stupidity that caused too much noise in the blood mist, and the other because Uchiha Madara used a genjutsu on the Third Mizukage.
But after teaching Obito how to use the Sharingan and Yin-Yang escape techniques, Uchiha Madara died.
But before Uchiha Madara died, he focused on two people who were obstacles to the plan, Uzumaki Kushina and Nawaki.
One was very similar to the previous Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, who could use the huge power of the tailed beasts. Even if Uchiha Obito awakened the Kamui eye technique, he might not be able to deal with Uzumaki Kushina.
And Nawaki, who could use the Woodman Technique at this age, even if Uchiha Madara didn't want to admit it, Nawaki's current Wood Release Ninjutsu was almost the same as Hashirama Senjutsu at the same age. What he lacked now was the Senjutsu.
If these two people were not dealt with, the Moon Eye Plan would most likely not succeed.
The Kamui eye technique is a bit magical, but it is not invincible. Unless Uchiha Obito is willing to take back the other eye from Kakashi, it will be difficult for him to attack those two people.
Whether it is Nawaki's caution or Uzumaki Kushina's control over the power of the tailed beasts, it is enough to make Uchiha Obito's Kamui eye technique fail.
"The Nine-Tails Jinchūriki's childbirth is indeed an opportunity, but relying solely on the Cloud Ninja and the Kirigakure may not be enough,"
Uchiha Obito thought in his heart. He is still thinking about the Moon Eye Plan mentioned by Madara. While implementing this plan, he will also toss Kirigakure to avenge himself, and the power of Kirigakure also has a high success rate for the Moon Eye Plan.
Afterwards, Uchiha Obito once again cast an illusion on the Fourth Mizukage, and then came to the outside of the Kirigakure Village through the Kamui eye technique to summon White Zetsu.
"Obito, what do you want from me this time?"
White Zetsu always wanted to laugh when facing Obito, because when it transformed into Obito's grandmother, it earned 10 million ryo from Nohara Rin; fortunately, it was controlled by Black Zetsu that prevented it from laughing, otherwise Obito would definitely notice something strange.
Uchiha Obito asked calmly: "Have you found out the whereabouts of Danzo?"
White Zetsu immediately danced with joy and said: "Of course I have found out, this guy actually built the Root base in such a dangerous place, it can be said."
"Find an opportunity to reveal the news of the Samsara Eye to Danzo, and when the Root ninjas come to the Rain Country to check the situation, guide the Root to collide with Hanzo."
Uchiha Obito directly interrupted White Zetsu's nonsense and told him his plan; as long as those two partners are around Nagato, it will always be a trouble, it is better to guide the Root of Konoha and Hanzo to solve them in advance, so that Nagato can be slowly controlled by him.
"I understand. Obito, you are no longer what you used to be..."
"Shut up, White Zetsu!"
Black Zetsu hurriedly stopped the outspoken White Zetsu. This guy failed because of his chatterbox.
Uchiha Obito ignored White Zetsu and continued to ask, "If we let A Fei go to deal with Rope Tree..."
"Don't think about it, don't think about it, that's impossible." White Zetsu hurriedly shook his head, and then explained to Uchiha Obito, "We were just cultivated by Madara-sama using Hashirama's cells, and Rope Tree's strength is already the same as Hashirama Senju when he was young. Madara-sama did think about eradicating Rope Tree at the beginning, but failed twice."
Black Zetsu added on the side, "The Rinnegan can, but Nagato has not yet developed the ability of the Rinnegan, or we can wait for him to resurrect Madara-sama."
White Zetsu then added, "Or let A Fei possess the Third Raikage, then the Third Raikage's strength will definitely be enhanced, maybe there will be a chance, but you have to convince the Third Raikage."
Black Zetsu continued, "If you get a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, there will also be a chance."
"Let me take care of this matter, you go and guide the Root and Hanzo to meet in the Land of Rain."
Uchiha Obito interrupted Black Zetsu, and then left directly using the Kamui Tokujutsu.
After everyone left, White Zetsu roared and laughed: "He still hasn't completely let go of that man named Kakashi. Obviously, a pair of Sharingan is the strongest."
"Don't worry about him, as long as we can complete Madara-sama's plan."
After Black Zetsu finished speaking, White Zetsu also controlled his body to lurk underground. Now the first thing they have to deal with is the two companions around Nagato, otherwise under their influence, Nagato will sooner or later become a warrior of love and peace. In
the capital of the Land of Fire, the daimyo's body is getting thinner and thinner. Although doctors have been sent and medical ninjas have been invited to treat him, the only conclusion they have drawn is that he has poor sleep and a weak body.
Hearing this conclusion, the people around the daimyo first believed it 70%, especially the guardian ninjas. As the people who protect the daimyo day and night, they know best what the daimyo is doing recently.
Today in the castle tower of the daimyo's mansion, Hatake Sakumo and five other Konoha jonins specifically submitted their resignations to the daimyo. It's time to change people. They have to return to Konoha, and then the Hokage will send the next batch of guardian ninjas to protect the daimyo.
Except for Hatake Sakumo, three of the remaining five people are jonin of the Sarutobi clan. After returning this time, the Fourth Hokage will probably assign them other tasks, so the jonin of the Sarutobi clan should be the least willing to go back.
But there is no way, unless the daimyo asks them to stay, they will not disobey the order of the Hokage; but the only one who can make the daimyo ask to stay is Hatake Sakumo.
The daimyo coughed twice, then covered his face with a folding fan and said: "Sakumo-kun, I really don't want you to leave. Why don't I talk to the Fourth Hokage and let your son come to the capital to settle down." "Dai-myo, it's up to Kakashi to make his own choice. He's grown up now, after all. Although I'm his father, I don't want to make the decision for him."
Hatake Sakumo also thought about letting Kakashi stay with him. He heard that Kakashi was depressed after he killed another teammate of his. However, Hatake Sakumo still believed that Kakashi could get over it. This time when he returned to Konoha, he also planned to enlighten Kakashi instead of taking him away.
"I'm just going back to Konoha to take a look. I will return to the capital in a month."
After hearing what Hatake Sakumo said, the Daimyo was relieved and said with a smile: "In that case, I will wait for Sakumo-kun to come back." After
hearing what the Daimyo said, the other Konoha ninjas couldn't help but feel jealous. They were all Konoha ninjas, so why was Hatake Sakumo so valued by the Daimyo? Their performance was not bad.
"Yes, sir, daimyo."
After saying this, Hatake Sakumo led the other five ninjas to leave the daimyo's mansion. The defense of the daimyo's mansion is not weak now. Although it is nominally the twelve guardian ninjas, in addition to the guardian ninjas sent by Konoha, the daimyo has recruited fourteen guardian ninjas himself.
Moreover, this is the capital of the Land of Fire, and no ninja dares to assassinate the daimyo of the five major countries.
The departure of Hatake Sakumo and the other six guardian ninjas is just a small matter for the daimyo's mansion. It has happened frequently in the past, but the daimyo is extremely optimistic about Hatake Sakumo. He once hoped that Hatake Sakumo would serve as Hokage, but it was a pity that it did not come true later.
One day, the daimyo suddenly held a banquet and summoned his sons and many nobles to the daimyo's mansion, saying that there was an important announcement.
However, such things are usually said after the banquet, so the sons of the daimyo and the nobles will enjoy the banquet happily.
But something unexpected happened!
The sons of the daimyo of the Land of Fire and some nobles of higher status suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed during the banquet, spitting blood, and lost their lives after a while.
The speed was so fast that the others had no time to react. A few seconds after more than a dozen people died, the daimyo screamed: "Someone come!"
But before he opened his mouth, six guardian ninjas instantly appeared beside the daimyo. One of the guardian ninjas who was proficient in medical ninjutsu even checked the daimyo and was relieved after confirming that everything was fine.
But they immediately turned angry. At this time, someone dared to attack the daimyo's mansion.
Kazuma, who was relatively strong among the guardian ninjas, immediately stepped forward to check the body on the ground. However, after just a while, he found very familiar signs on the body; others may not know, but Kazuma is very familiar with this poison.
"Daimyo, this is very likely a poison that Konoha Root often uses. There are not many similar poisons in the ninja world. If you can let the medical ninjas confirm it, it will be easier to judge."
After hearing Kazuma's words, the daimyo's face suddenly turned purple with anger and spit out a mouthful of blood. His body was already declining under the erosion of black magic. At this time, the direct command in the depths of his mind was replaced by another command.
"Wama, call Orochimaru and ask him to give me an explanation. Then, call all the nobles to the castle tower."
After the daimyo said this, everyone present was shocked. However, seeing the corpses on the ground, if they were not handled properly, the entire Fire Country might fall apart.
Wama and others were also heavy-hearted. They really wanted the daimyo to take all the power, but now was not the right time; Konoha was too strong, so strong that the fighting-style Cloud Village did not dare to face Konoha alone, let alone them.
"Sakumo Jonin, Lord Hokage is calling!"
It was midnight, and Hatake Sakumo was just about to rest when an Anbu came up. He waved his hand to let Kakashi go back at the stairs, and then asked while putting on his clothes: "What does Lord Hokage want to see me for?"
The Anbu replied: "I don't know."
In addition to the one in the room, there were five people outside. Hatake Sakumo suddenly felt something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with him, so he followed the Anbu to the Hokage's office.
When Hatake Sakumo arrived, he found that there was more than just Orochimaru in the Hokage's office.
The other five guardian ninjas were summoned, including the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the deputy captain of the security team Uchiha Yashiro, the Hokage's assistant Hyuga Hiashi, and the former advisors Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En who had long since resigned from all their positions, as well as another of the three ninjas Tsunade.
So many people gathered in the Hokage's office, which directly raised Hatake Sakumo's vigilance to several levels.
If there was nothing serious, the Fourth Hokage would not have gathered so many people in the middle of the night.
"Sakumo-kun, you're here."
Orochimaru greeted him in a gentle manner, but in this situation, his gentleness made Hatake Sakumo and the other five guardian ninjas even more nervous.
"I called you here at this time because a big thing happened in the daimyo's mansion. On the third day after you left, someone poisoned a banquet held by the daimyo. A total of 17 people died. Except for the daimyo's descendants, the rest were important officials of the Land of Fire."
"The real culprit is not sure yet, but it can be basically locked in as a ninja from Konoha, because the poison that the Root has always used is not so easy to get!"
