In this mission report at the root, the appearance of the Akatsuki organization stunned Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Not only was he surprised at the time when the Akatsuki organization appeared, but he was even more surprised that Danzo was also involved.
"boom."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down, already thinking of his old friend.
It was a time of chaos, and Genbu's mission escaped his notice. It was precisely because of this that he had not received this information.
Reach a consensus through conversation, put aside past grievances, be able to say such words, and use them as your purpose. How could the Akatsuki organization in this report be the current Akatsuki?
Thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the scroll in front of him again and proofread the contents one by one.
At this time, he no longer had the randomness he had before. The appearance of the character [Xiao] involved too many things.
In retrospect, Uzumaki Sora did not hesitate to antagonize Konoha and destroy the roots at the beginning. The reason may be due to this mission report.
It's just possible that when Danzo was fighting, he didn't find the mission report after the root collapsed. Finally, he thought that Danzo was dead, so he left with peace of mind.
While deciphering the codes one by one, the long-time senior executive was thinking about the possibilities.
Time passed slowly, and the sunlight outside the window gradually faded away.
It was late at night, but Sarutobi Hiruzen had no intention of stopping.
The contents of the scroll already made him feel uneasy.
"squeak……"
The door opened and Asuma walked in.
"It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen replied without raising his head: "There is important information that needs to be deciphered. I may not have time to rest today."
Important information?
Asma frowned. What important information would the retired old man have?
And shouldn’t people from the code class do this kind of deciphering work?
After thinking for a moment, Asuma said in a deep voice: "Today's meeting of the Five Shadows has started successfully. In three days, the Shadows of the Five Great Ninja Villages will discuss again. At this time... Konoha cannot make any mistakes."
After the words fell, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused in his sketching strokes.
After a long silence, he replied: "Although there were many conflicts between us when you were young, I have always believed that you still believe in me..."
"As the shadow of the village, I may not be successful, but as a member of Konoha, I think it is enough."
After thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen still explained: "Jiraiya gave me a root mission report before. The scroll is composed of secret codes. As a former teammate, I am the person who knows Danzo best... "
"But you don't know the content yet. The importance of information that allows me to stay up late to translate it at my age can be imagined, even if you have become the jounin of the village."
Asma was stunned when he heard this, then bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry...father."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, and then glanced at the half-decoded scroll in front of him.
"The ninja world is already in chaos."
"Asuma... you may not believe it. At this time, I am even glad that it is not me, but Minato who is the Hokage."
"Danzo... released an evil spirit. Because of the power of hatred, he is pursuing a false peace. The enemy's power has begun to exceed our imagination."
Asuma was confused and did not ask.
As mentioned before, the Jonin is just the backbone of the village and cannot reach the top. He has not yet learned of this important information.
"Why……"
After sighing, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and asked Asuma to retreat.
After the study door was closed, Sarutobi Hiruzen started the unfinished work again.
Under the night, the night passed quickly.
When the morning light fell again, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally deciphered the entire scroll's record.
However, at this moment, his hand holding the scroll was trembling slightly!
The consequences of letting Danzo appear again. If he hadn't been thinking about his old relationship as the Third Hokage...
Then maybe the Akatsuki Organization will still be that naive and ridiculous organization and will not grow into the behemoth it is today.
The Reincarnation Eye of the Immortal of Six Paths!
Only with this kind of power can he later serve as the leader of the Akatsuki organization.
The companions were killed, and all members of the previous Akatsuki were killed. After the Samsara Eye broke out, the only companion was rescued.
So will this boy with the power of the Samsara Eye later form Akatsuki again and become its leader?
This possibility is very high!
Putting away the scroll, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and walked out.
…
Konoha shopping street.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen had visited all the female bathhouses in Konoha, but still found no trace of Jiraiya.
"That's not right...have you changed your gender?"
Said to himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused.
As his disciple, he knew very well what kind of virtue Jiraiya was.
After thinking for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived at the Hokage Building.
If it weren't for the specialness and importance of this information, he really wouldn't want to come to this place again.
He used to be the Hokage, and with three old friends as his assistants, he decided all major events in the village in this mansion.
But now...
Danzo died, Yan was imprisoned, Koharu and himself were both in retirement, and even the direct ANBU handed over a large part.
"call……"
After exhaling, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked towards the Hokage Building.
"Third generation sir."
The chuunin on duty bowed slightly, and Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "Is Minato here?"
After the words fell, the two ninjas on duty looked at each other hesitantly.
Although sometimes a genin can rush in here, such as Naruto, the son of the Hokage, and the boy from Uchiha.
But as a former actor, and in this special period, his identity is different from ordinary people.
"Go and report it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen had no intention of embarrassing the two of them. Although the information in his hand was urgent, he still lowered his head and waited quietly.
…
At the same time, the Hokage's office.
"Teacher, although the emergence of the Samsara Eye is very important, the problem of the Akatsuki organization is urgent now."
Minato looked at Jiraiya with some helplessness: "With nearly a hundred thousand troops, this number even exceeds the number of ninjas from the five major countries. Coupled with forbidden techniques such as the Reincarnation of the Earth, there is no doubt about the opponent's backbone."
"There is also Uzumaki Sora. Even if Yun here can kill him, he can still be resurrected."
"Comparing the two, the wooing of Yuyin Village can be postponed until later."
These words made Jiraiya hesitate.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "That kid Nagato had a very extreme personality when he was a child, and Yahiko's death must have been a huge blow to him at that time."
"I know Yahiko's character very well. Although he is a little naive, it is his will that there will be no more wars in the Land of Rain."
"Sansho Hanzo was killed by Nagato, and the peace in the Land of Rain is also hard-won. In this case, Nagato must protect this peace."
As he spoke, Jiraiya smiled confidently: "As their former teacher, even though we haven't seen each other for many years, I still have some face. After all, last time, I could feel the strong feeling in his body. strength……"
"But he didn't kill me...right? Although Nagato is extreme, Konan is a very kind girl."
Minato was still a little hesitant. After all, Konoha didn't have much information about the Kingdom of Rain because of the closure.
Seeing this situation, Jiraiya continued: "We don't have any information about the power of the Samsara Eye, but just being the eye of the Six Paths Sage is enough to prove the power it contains."
"The power of the Akatsuki organization that has been exposed now is enough to scare us. How much is hidden in it is even more unknown."
"At this time, if Nagato can be allowed to join the alliance of the five major ninja villages, then our chances of winning will increase by more than 10%!"
As he spoke, Jiraiya added: "In addition, the mission report about Danzo and Sansho Hanzo's conspiracy to kill Yahiko has been found, and the old man is deciphering it. If we can know the cause and effect, we can be more confident in persuading Nagato."
At this time, there was a knock on the office door.
Shikaku walked in with a pile of documents, and first placed the documents on the desk in front of Minato.
"The people from the Four Great Ninja Villages made arrangements yesterday. The Tsuchikage went to Kumogakure's place yesterday, but he didn't stay long."
Minato pondered for a moment and replied: "The personalities of the fifth Raikage and the first two Raikages are very different. Under such circumstances, this kind of reaction is to be expected."
Shikaku nodded, and then said: "By the way, the Third Generation has something to ask for. I'm still waiting downstairs. The guard told me when I just came in."
These words made Jiraiya on the side stunned, and then he immediately disappeared into the office.
Minato sighed: "Although it is a special moment, after all, the third generation is the previous Hokage, so it would be too rude to do so."
Shikaku thought for a while and replied: "After all, the older generation lacks trust. Mito Kadoyan, who was the Hokage's advisor before, also caused a lot of things."
At this point, both of their voices stopped.
Because he sensed that not far from the door at this moment, two figures were already approaching.
…
After the door was opened, Minato, who was about to apologize, didn't get the chance.
As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen entered the door with a solemn face, he directly placed the scroll in front of Minato's desk.
"This is the basic mission report that Jiraiya asked me to decipher. It originally took about three days, but because I discovered its importance at the beginning, I deciphered it overnight yesterday."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes at this moment. It was obvious that he had not had any rest all day yesterday.
He stared at Minato and said, "The power of the Akatsuki organization has far exceeded our expectations. If my guess is correct, they have even surpassed the strength of the Five Village Alliance."
Minato was stunned by these words, and the thought of apologizing was thrown out of his mind.
He immediately opened the scroll, and what he saw was only the beginning, which made him frown.
【dawn】
The appearance of this character made Minato instantly understand why the third generation was so nervous.
The Akatsuki organization was founded in the Land of Rain by three young people with naive ideas at the end of the Third Ninja War.
They followed the example of Hanzo the Sanshouyu and devoted themselves to preventing war through talking and promoting peace in the Rain Country.
Leader: Yahiko.
At that time, in order to prevent the war in the Land of Rain from ending and to achieve the goal of avoiding Konoha's gaze, Danzo, who was the Dark of Konoha, controlled this mission.
Lobbying Hanzo, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, to join forces with the Akatsuki organization to completely destroy Akatsuki's existence on the grounds that the gradual growth of the Akatsuki organization would threaten his position in the Land of Rain.
And here, Sansho Hanzo, who listened to Danzo's advice, went a step further. After kidnapping the only girl among the three, he agreed to Yahiko's request to talk.
Later, he used the girl's life as a threat to force Nagato next to Yahiko to kill him.
The incident finally started with Yahiko himself crashing into Nagato's sharp blade, and the Samsara Eye exploded with amazing power under the strong stimulation.
A transparent object appeared, absorbing the souls of the surrounding ninjas.
A girl named Konan was rescued, but Nagato's legs were hit by Hanzo's fire escape and became disabled.
Since then, the Akatsuki organization has been destroyed.
At the end of the scroll, there is another piece of information recorded.
Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, is asking someone to search for the current situation of these three people, and according to the order, return the information that the three people died in the war.
…
At this point, Minato closed the scroll, his eyes filled with solemnity.
After looking at Jiraiya, he handed over the deciphered scroll: "With this information, there is no point in wooing the Hidden Rain Village. Let's take a look, maybe our enemy still has hidden power."
At this point, Minato raised his hand.
"Uh-huh!"
An ANBU suddenly appeared, and Minato said: "Inform Uchiha Kumo and ask him to come to the Hokage Building quickly!"
The ANBU immediately left after receiving the order.
At this time, Jiraiya finished reading the scroll, with the same solemn gaze and said nothing.
"Snapped!"
One of them failed to hold it firmly and the scroll fell to the ground.
The voice woke Jiraiya up. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's actually the Hidden Rain Village? Is that kid from Nagato really related to the current Akatsuki?"
Minato shook his head and replied: "No one can be sure about this, but as one of the founders of the previous Akatsuki, there was another Konan. It may not be an accident that these two became the leaders of the Hidden Rain Village together."
"The best way to hide is, of course, to become the master of a village. In peacetime, the closed Yuyin Village becomes a natural haven."
Jiraiya sighed and looked out the window.
At this time, Shikaku picked up the scroll on the ground and was about to put it back on the table when Minato raised his hand to stop him: "As the brain of Konoha, this information also requires your analysis. Let's take a look."
For a moment, the Hokage's office fell into silence.
After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Since the information has been sent, I will go back first."
After the words fell, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and prepared to leave.
After two steps, he turned around and looked at Minato: "Although I am too old, if the Hokage has arrangements, I can also go to the battlefield!"
…
