"Has the Aburame clan still failed to stop the Federation's war puppets?"
After reading the intelligence letter, the Sixth Hokage Danzo was silent for a while, and then destroyed the secret letter.
Since Konoha and the Hidden Rock Village joined forces to attack the former Wind Country, the "Renewal Federation" has placed its main target on the Fire Country.
Especially after the appearance of the White Zetsu Corps, Guan Liyuan almost gave up attacking the Earth Country and the Lightning Country. Both the east and west sides took a defensive stance and went directly south to fight a decisive battle with Konoha!
The war mode of the Renewal Federation is very different from the "traditional" war process established in the Ninja Village era, which makes Konoha very uncomfortable.
The Federation's tactics are to completely abandon small-scale contact wars. In terms of intelligence, there is the air force, especially the combination of "aircraft + white eyes". Even if the contact war is abandoned, Konoha's battlefield layout is difficult to avoid the Federation's sight.
At the same time, the existence of the air force also makes the fortresses that can concentrate the power of a large number of ninjas no longer a necessary existence to be removed.
The "air combat force" and "land combat force" of the new federal army can cooperate to quickly break through and defeat the ninja force...
and as long as Konoha takes a step back, the large-scale war equipment of the "armored force" will immediately press all the way to serve as the temporary fortress of the federation, especially the recent emergence of a "giant war puppet" that has also appeared on the front battlefield.
Looking at the shape, you can see that it is inseparable from the puppetry of the Sand Ninja!
With the combination of "aircraft + white eyes", Konoha dare not concentrate too much power to avoid other weak points being hit.
Now, not only has a lot of territory in the northern part of the Fire Country fallen, and the mobile fortress of the Federation is located, but there is also a special front line that is advancing directly to Konoha Village!
It seems that the other party has already known that the Fire King and many important nobles of the Fire Country have been taken to Konoha Village, and now they want to force Konoha to fight...
After all, Guan Liyuan has a "criminal record" of loving to attack the royal city!
It was also because the royal family and nobles were all in Konoha that Danzo, who had mastered most of Konoha's power after Itachi's death, easily became the Sixth Hokage. The Fire King and a group of nobles were under his roof, so of course they would have no objection!
In theory, the "insect-using secret technique" should be the natural enemy of the "puppet technique" and the "mechanical technique". Danzo has always hoped that the Aburame clan can resist and destroy the "war puppets" and "mobile fortresses" of the Federation. It would be best to let the "Sky City" fall directly, so that someone would not suffer a blow to the morale of the village because of the identity of the granddaughter of the first generation.
However, the Aburame clan's record was not satisfactory. The explanation of the clan leader Aburame Shikuro was that all large-scale equipment in the Federation had been treated with insect repellent, and there were probably insects raised by other insect-using clans!
Danzo would not believe Aburame Shikuro's words alone, but some Aburame clan members who joined the Root, such as Aburame Togen, also said the same thing.
That is to say, to destroy these machines from the inside with the "insect-controlling secret technique", you must first defeat the opponent's insects...
and since the opponent's insects are arranged in the machine, there must be corresponding seals, barriers, or mechanisms to cooperate, just like the ninjas in the fortress, completely occupying the "geographical advantage".
Although the Aburame clan is very confident in their "insect-controlling secret technique", it is difficult to win in such an unfair duel.
In the confidential battle report, Aburame Shiguro also mentioned to Danzo that the identity of the Federation's "insect-controlling clan" was guessed to be the Upper Water Clan!
Such a shameful thing, the Tsuchikage had not shared it with others before.
Although the Upper Water Clan was once defeated by the Aburame clan, Aburame Shiguro had to admit that the Upper Water Clan still had the strength to fight, especially he felt that the Upper Water Clan was stronger now than before World War II...
In fact, before the "Upper Water Clan" was exiled, the "insect-controlling secret technique" of the Hidden Rock Village was like the "puppetry technique" of the Hidden Sand Village, which was a characteristic of the Hidden Village.
"The Upper Water Clan... There is also news from the Iwagakure Village. Guan Liyuan and Kurotsuchi from the Federation arrived in the Land of Earth not long ago and are currently meeting with the new Tsuchikage in secret. It seems that the Land of Earth, or at least the Iwagakure Village, is no longer reliable!"
Danzo directly said at an important meeting that there was an undercover Root in the Iwagakure Village.
Many jonin still wanted to be more "cautious" about this. After all, everyone knew the current situation in the Land of Earth, and it would be too arbitrary to judge that the Iwagakure Village would surrender to the Federation based on this alone.
However, Danzo opened one of his eyes and said coldly, "You still don't understand. The Federation is in this situation today, not only because of Uchiha Itachi's connivance, but also because of Guan Liyuan... He himself is the root of the turmoil in the ninja world!
In fact, I have contacted the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village. The Hidden Rock Village's peace with the Federation this time is likely to be based on the Five Tails as a bargaining chip. Although I don't understand why the Federation cares so much about gathering all the tailed beasts, there must be an ulterior motive behind it..." Danzo was
halfway through his speech when Hyuga Hiashi, who was present, looked at him strangely, but at the same time Danzo also glanced at him... Hiashi immediately closed his eyes and remained silent.
After the collective defection incident more than two months ago, although Hyuga Hiashi did not leave, he was not only looked down upon, but also served as a "mascot" in such meetings.
Another thing that may make outsiders feel "weird" is that when Danzo mentioned that he had "contacted the Hidden Cloud Village", many Konoha ninjas present were a little moved. It was obvious that the Hokage directly skipped "his own people" to contact the Hidden Cloud Village, which seemed unusual to them.
But soon these emotions calmed down, as if Danzo had just done an ordinary thing?
"...Now our undercover agents have already grasped the location of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and they are carrying the Flying Thunder God Curse Talisman. If the Hidden Rock Village really wants to cooperate with Guan Liyuan, Shiranui Genjian, Bizuki Raito, and Die Iwashi, you three will escort me, Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy, and Sarutobi Asuma... to the Hidden Cloud Village.
Kill the Five-Tails Jinchuriki as soon as possible, and then besiege Guan Liyuan! When the time comes, the Hidden Cloud Village will also use the "Heavenly Sending Technique" to cooperate with us."
Danzo named several of the current top jonin of Konoha and the core members of the Root, but did not include Hyuga Hiashi... Shiranui Genjian
and his men, as the guards of the former Fourth Hokage, can use the Flying Thunder God Technique together, but they can't bring too many people with them. If they transfer seven or eight people at a time like this, I'm afraid they will be exhausted for a long time afterwards.
The "Heavenly Sending Technique" of the Hidden Cloud Village is not very consuming for the user, but it has a great side effect on the transmission of people. After the "disappearance" of the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee, no one should be able to use it.
Even if it has been improved now, the number of people who can be transmitted must be small!
It seems that Danzo and the Kumo Ninjas want to create a "decapitation" opportunity by relying on a sudden siege with high-end combat power...
At the same time, in the southern part of the Land of Earth, Black Zetsu also consulted the two figures with "Uchiha fans" on their backs, saying, "The other party has no doubts about my words now. They are in contact with the Tsuchikage in the Hidden Rock Village. I believe they will be able to get the position of the Five-Tails soon!"
Behind these two figures stood the Fourth Raikage, the Third Tsuchikage, Nagato, Uchiha Itachi, and some figures who are not well-known in the ninja world now, but who once dominated the ninja world twenty or forty years ago. Some of them look normal, and some look like they have obvious "Immortal Reincarnation" features!
Outside the Hidden Rock Village, Guan Liyuan, who was watching Black Earth communicating with Yellow Earth and Red Earth, suddenly sneezed and couldn't help muttering, "I always feel like someone is thinking about me..."
