Volume 1 Chapter 206: The Sand Village turns the tables and throws dirty water on Konoha
After this incident, I will return to the village, obtain the forgiveness of my elder sister, and then accompany Scorpion to grow up and start taking care of him in his old age.
With a sigh, Ebizo began to make arrangements.
The entire River Country became a battlefield between the two major ninja villages of Sand Village and Konoha, and the whole country was almost in chaos.
But such chaos did not affect the officials of Kawanokuni from enjoying their lives at all.
As night falls, singing and dancing begin.
The Daimyofu in Kawanokuni was bustling with activity.
These officials who were eating meat, drinking wine and watching the beautiful dancers danced had no idea that death had already arrived.
Dark shadows dressed in black combat uniforms sneaked into the daimyo's mansion and the homes of many officials.
The killing began.
A number of officials from the Kawakuni Province, including the daimyo, died in confusion.
While people are still enjoying themselves at home, disaster comes from the sky.
Until their death they could not understand why the disaster had befallen them.
Although there are no clear regulations, whether it is war or assassination, generally no one would choose to attack these officials.
Because once we take action against them, it will bring about a series of adverse effects.
"Sir, there was a murder in the daimyo's mansion in Kawanokuni, and many officials were assassinated."
"What the hell?"
Hatake Sakumo, who was discussing with Nara Shikashin at the command center how to delay time and hold back the Sand Village army, was suddenly stunned, and Nara Shikashin also put down the pen in his hand.
"Was it done by a wandering ninja? That shouldn't be the case."
Although there are many wandering ninjas in River Country, these wandering ninjas dare not assassinate officials at will.
Because they know that if they do this, they will have nowhere to go.
This is the bottom line that cannot be touched.
"According to my investigation, it doesn't seem like the work of a wandering ninja. They acted quickly and had a unified goal..."
Having said that, the Anbu ninja who was in charge of collecting battlefield intelligence paused here.
He had a bad feeling.
Hatake Sakumo stood up in surprise and exclaimed:
"Are the people of Sand Village crazy?"
This kind of thing couldn't have been done by a wandering ninja, so there was only one possibility.
That is the Sand Village.
But is the Third Kazekage crazy?
Killing these people is a thankless task and what benefit can you get?
If we are not careful, the Sand Village will rot and become a thorn in the eyes of officials and daimyos from various countries.
"I'm afraid the people of the Sand Village are not crazy, but are doing it on purpose."
Nara Shikashin also found it unbelievable at first. There was no reason for the Sand Village to do such a thing. But when thinking about the current situation of the Sand Village, everything made sense.
"Crazy, crazy, isn't the Third Kazekage afraid that the Sand Village will become a public enemy?"
Hatake Sakumo's hair was numb.
"Senior Lu Xin, please take care of the camp. I need to investigate in person."
"You go ahead, I'll take care of the camp."
This kind of thing must be investigated thoroughly and reported as soon as possible, otherwise there is a risk of being blamed.
In order to support the war, the Sand Village was so cruel that it even killed people from the Daimyo Prefecture of Kawayakuren Country, let alone throwing some dirty water on Konoha?
"I will inform Tsunade and Jiraiya about this."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Senior."
Without saying anything more, Hatake Sakumo tied up the White Fang short sword and set off with the Anbu people.
"It's a headache."
Nara Shikashin rubs his temples:
"Go and inform Tsunade and Jiraiya to come over. Tell them that I have something important to discuss with them."
"Yes, sir."
Looking at the wooden fence of Konoha Village just a stone's throw away, Qianyue folded her hands behind her head:
"Why do I feel like I'm not going on a mission, but rather a one-week self-guided tour of the Cloud Ninja Village?"
"Qiyue-kun wants to cause a big commotion in the Kumogakure Village?"
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.
The Eight-Tails was brought out, causing it to run wild and turn the Cloud Village upside down. Isn't that exciting?
"No."
Qianyue shook her head and said, "I just feel like I have nothing to do and I made a wasted trip."
No experience at all!
Orochimaru did everything by himself, including infiltration, contact with spies, and drugging.
He, Chizuki Yagami, really went on a trip, stole a horn of the Eight-Tails, and then came back.
Fortunately, even if he went on a trip, he would still get a lot of credit. Qianyue was in a good mood thinking that he could get some benefits without doing anything.
"Chizuki-kun, don't you plan on going to the Hokage's office?"
When others finish their mission, the first thing they do when they come back is to go to the Hokage's office to report on the mission.
Qianyue, on the other hand, her first reaction after returning was to go home.
"Why go to the Hokage's office? This is your mission, not mine. Remember to report the credit for me."
With a wave of her hand, Qianyue turned and left, leaving Orochimaru standing on the street with a speechless look on his face.
"Master Orochimaru, the Hokage wants to see you."
Very good, very quick. I just returned to the village and the notification came immediately.
Shaking his head, Orochimaru smiled and nodded to the Anbu people, then turned and walked towards the Hokage's office building.
Qianyue went home first, and Orochimaru also had a place he wanted to go.
Unfortunately, the Anbu people arrived, so Orochimaru had to go to the Hokage's office first.
"Lawless!! The Sand Village has gone crazy!"
"They are pouring dirty water on us for the good things they have done."
"I suggest launching a massive attack immediately to drive the people of the Sand Village back to the Kingdom of Wind."
Before he got close, he heard Utatane Koharu's loud voice. When Orochimaru heard this, he knew that something big had happened.
It seems that the Sand Village did something bad and framed Konoha.
Utane Koharu was also furious because of this incident.
"Boom boom boom."
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Orochimaru knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The scolding coming from the office stopped with a knock on the door, and the voice of the Third Hokage came out.
Orochimaru pushed open the door and walked into the Hokage's office, glancing at Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En who both looked unhappy.
Strangely, he didn't see Danzo.
Logically speaking, Danzo should be there when something this big happens.
"Old man, the revenge mission has been successfully completed. You'd better check the spies who returned to the village and block the news."
"If the news leaks out, the Third Raikage might come after you."
“.......”
Is there anyone who makes fun of his teacher like you?
The Third Hokage coughed:
"For those who return to the village first, we have already made arrangements. Thank you for your hard work this time. I will record your contribution for you."
"Not only me, but also Qianyue-kun."
"He won't be missing. Don't worry. I won't mistreat anyone who has made contributions to the village."
The Third Hokage assured, only for Orochimaru's smile to grow wider, as if he had heard something interesting.
Looking at Orochimaru who smiled without saying a word, the Third Hokage finally realized that he had slapped himself in the face.
They say that they will not treat unfairly those who have made contributions to the village, but what is the reality?
The Third Hokage's eyes froze when he reacted. Seeing this, Mitomon En beside him quickly said:
"Orochimaru, now that you are back, you should return to the battlefield of River Country as soon as possible. Some bad things have happened in River Country in the past few days."
As he said this, he handed an information scroll to Orochimaru.
"I will."
Nodding, Orochimaru picked up the scroll and turned to leave.
