After Dragon Tongue left, Konoha's reconnaissance team immediately moved away from the Grass Ninja Village and evacuated to a relatively safe distance.
night.
Instead of lighting a bonfire to keep warm, everyone hid in a small forest, facing the cold night air.
Yakumo, who possesses the 'Red Dragon Eye', has been observing his surroundings, using a scrutinizing gaze to be wary of all possible threats around him.
In the forest.
Tsunade and Kakashi communicated quietly.
Kakashi said: "The best situation at present is to capture a member of the Akatsuki organization and obtain information about the Akatsuki organization from the other party's mouth!"
Tsunade pondered for a moment and said: "Judging from the information collected so far, there are between fifteen and twenty-five members of the Akatsuki organization. Almost every one of them has the strength of an elite jounin, and some of them even reach the level of At the level of the Five Shadows, no matter how cautious you are when fighting against this group of people! So we’d better not act rashly this time and just complete the investigation mission!”
"Um!"
Kakashi nodded.
Although he vaguely felt that there must be problems within the Akatsuki organization, he could not simply regard all members of the Akatsuki organization who had ever appeared as a whole.
But he can't afford to be wrong!
So he did not continue to insist, but recognized Tsunade's more prudent strategy.
Shizune hurried over at this time and whispered: "Tsunade-sama, I just received the message from the village. The Hokage-sama has sent invitations to the other four shadows. The joint force is quickly gathering, so he asked us not to act rashly in order to The main purpose is to collect intelligence!”
Tsunade nodded: "Reply to the village, we will strictly carry out the task as required!"
Shinji, who was leaning against a big tree, watched silently.
In this team, not only did he have little say, he was also regarded as someone who was deliberately inserted into the advisory board to brush up his resume and gain military exploits.
Therefore, he is also very knowledgeable. He just quietly listens to all kinds of information and never expresses his opinions easily.
"Someone is coming!"
Suddenly, Yakumo, who was on guard in the tree crown, issued a warning.
In an instant, the Konoha ninjas in the forest were on alert, even Shinji was no exception.
After a while, two figures approached the grove in the dark, and the one leading the way was none other than Ryuuga, who had returned to the Grass Ninja Village during the day. Following Dragon Tongue was a figure wearing an animal mask and a gorgeous robe.
After the two parties met, the figure wearing an animal mask introduced himself: "Everyone in Konoha, I am Ichiro Hirayama!"
The name 'Hirayama Ichiro' is exactly the name on the top-secret scroll.
Undoubtedly, the person brought here by Dragon Tongue was Ichiro Hirayama, the elder of the 'Kusa no Hana' faction who sent a letter to Konoha asking for help.
Tsunade did not relax her vigilance and asked Hirayama Ichiro to write a few words at random, and then compared it with the handwriting on the top-secret scroll. After confirming that it was correct, she said: "I am Tsunade, the captain of this investigation team!"
Ichiro Hirayama had naturally heard of Tsunade's name, and immediately said: "I didn't expect that the 'Sannin' of Konoha would come in person. On behalf of the Grass Ninja Village, I would like to express my highest gratitude to Konoha!"
Obviously.
He thought that Konoha reacted so quickly, and even sent a strong person of the level of 'Sannin', because he betrayed all the spies lurking in Konoha from the grass ninja.
Tsunade said calmly: "Tell me about the situation. What happened in your village?"
Naturally, Ichiro Hirayama would not mention Kusanagi spies when they first met, because after all, it was not a glorious thing, so he only detailed the anomalies of the 'Kusano Minoru' faction, as well as the unexplained disappearance of a large number of people in the Country of Grass, to the Tsunade and others talked about it.
At the same time, the grass ninja village elder was connecting with Tsunade.
Dragon Tongue found Shinji who was standing beside him, and bowed as he came up: "Shinji, thank you so much this time. You are the benefactor of our Grass Ninja Village!"
"You're welcome! Speaking of which, I also want to thank you. It's you who gave me the opportunity to participate in such a high-level mission!"
As Shinji spoke, his eyes gradually moved beyond Dragon Tongue and towards the direction of Kusanagi Village.
He really has to thank Dragon Tongue, because through the induction of the 'Lamp Bearer', he has discovered the pollution smell permeating the direction of the Grass Ninja Village, and he no longer has any doubts about the ghost infiltrating the Grass Ninja Village.
edge.
After listening to the story of Hirayama Ichiro, the grass ninja elder, Tsunade and Kakashi looked at each other.
Judging from the other party's description, there are indeed many doubts about the 'Kusa no Hibiscus' faction in Kusanagi Village, but the situation is obviously better than they imagined. At least the 'Kusana no Hana' faction has not been completely eliminated and still has control over Kusano Ninja Village. Considerable degree of control.
Ichiro Hirayama said at this time: "The key lies in the 'Bliss Box'. I suspect that the large number of missing people is related to Kusanagi's attempt to open the 'Bliss Box' in advance. They are all crazy!"
"The Chest of Bliss."
Tsunade frowned slightly, Konoha didn't know anything about the 'Box of Bliss'.
In fact, there are many similar 'hidden dangers' in the ninja world!
For example, the 'Sprite' that was previously sealed in the Kingdom of Demons and later released by the Akatsuki organization, and the Loulan relic 'Dragon Vein' that was sealed by the fourth generation personally, etc., are all extremely uncertain and can affect the pattern of the ninja world. Hidden danger.
It's just that these hidden dangers often have a long history, and most of the relevant information is lost, and most of them are sealed. Therefore, if there is no real problem, the five ninja villages do not want to take the initiative to touch these difficult troubles.
The 'Bliss Box' of the Land of Grass is one of them!
So after learning that the organization might be planning a 'box of bliss', Tsunade felt uneasy.
The Akatsuki organization itself is already a headache. If it is mixed with the 'Bliss Box', a terrifying weapon that has been clearly recorded in history, then this round of encirclement and suppression of the Akatsuki organization will probably have many twists and turns. .
After realizing this, Tsunade said to Hirayama Ichiro: "The large forces are still gathering. I hope that you, 'Flower of Grass', can provide more intelligence to help us complete the encirclement and suppression of the Akatsuki organization!"
Ichiro Hirayama immediately assured: "Please rest assured, we at 'Kusa no Hana' will do our best to cooperate with you!"
In the underground palace of Grass Ninja Village.
Wu Guan looked at the 'Box of Bliss' in front of him with a helpless expression.
Beside him were the "Using String Bow" Hei Shimo, who was wearing a haori and dressed as a samurai, as well as several elders of the "Kusano Minoru" faction.
One of the elders reported to Black Death Mou: "The plan went well. As you expected, Muzan is an excellent candidate to withstand the power of a vampire. He has already eaten enough blood and food, and the chakra in his body is extremely full." , even worse than the Jinchūriki!"
Hei Shimo nodded: "Then let's get started, let me see the true appearance of your grass country's war weapons!"
The first update is here! For those students who haven’t voted today, don’t forget!
