Volume 1 Chapter 486: Rock Village Enters the Grass Country
Poor Luosha was busy mining in the desert, so the intelligence scroll could only be delivered to Chiyo who helped manage the village affairs.
"Master Chiyo, it won't be long before the news of Konoha's explosion spreads throughout the ninja world. Should we control it?"
It seems a bit unfair to say that they are an ally in name only, but do nothing and just watch the news spread...
Putting down the scroll, Chiyo said calmly:
"Lord Kazekage is not in the village. I don't have the authority to deal with this matter. Let's leave it at that for now. We can talk about everything after Lord Kazekage returns."
control?
Why control?
The Sand Village was tormented so badly by you, Konoha, with all kinds of embarrassing things happening, but I didn't see you, Konoha, helping us to control or suppress it.
My Sand Village did not actively promote it. Besides, aren't you in Konoha afraid that someone will know about your little business?
Let it explode if it happens, it has nothing to do with our Sand Village.
The Sand Village decisively chose to neither take the initiative nor refuse.
The same is true for the Mist Village.
Instead, the Iwagakure and the Kumogakure happily helped Konoha spread the news, which caused the news to spread in the shortest time.
Konoha exploded.
The Hokage assisted Danzo Shimura in doing many immoral things, and even conducted human experiments in private. Not only did he capture people everywhere to do human experiments, he even did not spare the villagers from his own village.
"Spread out the manpower and continue searching."
At this moment, the Third Hokage was very tired. His face was already full of wrinkles, and it seemed as if he had aged several years in just a few days.
He left the village with his men to capture Danzo, but he failed to catch Danzo and didn't even meet Danzo.
He led his men around in circles, and every time when he was about to catch up with them, Danzo always found a way to shake them off, leaving the Third Hokage and his men to continue eating dust behind.
The Third Hokage was busy capturing Danzo, but some people in the village could no longer sit still.
The most representative ones are Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and people from the Shimura and Sarutobi clans.
Danzo became a pariah, and the Shimura clan suffered as well, even though they did not suffer any injustice.
But at this time, who is willing to accompany Danzo into the sewer?
Definitely not.
Even the Shimura clan had to draw a line between themselves and Danzo.
They were willing to draw a line, but the villagers were not. Since Danzo could not be found, the anger towards Danzo would be transferred to the Shimura clan.
The Shimura clan was in trouble, and the Sarutobi clan also suffered as a result.
The two families may seem to have little to do with each other, but in fact their interests are mostly tied together.
"Two elders, is there no other solution?"
Danzo became a pariah, and even the Shimura clan was targeted.
Although the rise of the Shimura clan is closely related to Danzo, at least on the surface the Shimura clan and Danzo had drawn a line between themselves very early on.
But the villagers don't care about this.
Because Danzo is a member of the Shimura clan, if you, the Shimura clan, come out and say it’s okay, does that mean it’s really okay?
The representative of the Sarutobi clan nodded silently.
If they continue to make such a fuss, the Sarutobi clan might be dragged into this as well.
But at such an important moment, the Third Hokage was not in the village.
"What can we do?"
Utane Koharu immediately became angry and pointed at the Shimura clan leader's nose and started to curse:
"I'm not saying that since Danzo has committed a crime and is in prison, he should just stay in prison. But you, on the other hand, are eager to give him some benefits."
"Let's get all the Shimura clan in now."
How could I know things would develop to this point?
Chief Shimura looked depressed.
Seeing that Utane Koharu was about to curse, Mito Kado En quickly stopped her and said sternly to the people of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans:
"Things are no longer under our control. In fact, we went to find Tsunade, but she was unwilling to help us."
The power of the elder advisors is both great and small.
Everything depends on how the person in charge treats you.
The Third Hokage is in power, so they have great power and can interfere in all kinds of things.
When Tsunade came to power, even if she didn't get to the top, if she didn't like the elder advisors, the power of the elder advisors would be infinitely reduced.
"Even Hatake Sakumo, the new ANBU chief, doesn't like us."
As he spoke, Mitomon Yan showed a bitter smile:
"What happened before hurt him quite deeply."
It was Danzo's good work again.
Everyone was speechless.
Although the Third Hokage did not participate, he chose neither to support nor to oppose.
"We can't just let the situation continue to develop."
Chief Shimura was anxious:
"Two elders, you can send someone to investigate. Now the whole Konoha, no, I'm afraid the whole ninja world is talking about this matter. Our Konoha has exploded, and it involves a lot of people. Danzo once served as the assistant to the Hokage."
"If we continue like this, other villages will only laugh at our Konoha."
Now you know you are in a hurry, what were you doing before?
The affairs of your Shimura clan will not end so easily. Tsunade may slowly settle accounts with you.
The Shimura clan produced Danzo Shimura, who was closely tied to the Third Hokage, and directly caused the Shimura clan, which was an ordinary ninja family, to take off on the spot.
Having enjoyed the benefits brought about by Danzo's plan, the Shimura clan will surely be held accountable when Danzo is in trouble.
"Ah~~~"
Mitomon Yan sighed:
"Send someone to inform Hiruzen to give up the pursuit of Danzo and return to the village as soon as possible, otherwise the chaos will only get worse."
It's too late to say anything now.
The only thing we can do is to get the Third Hokage back to the village as soon as possible.
Only when he is in the village can he suppress those voices that are unfavorable to them.
Even if all of Danzo's crimes are proven, other people cannot be implicated, otherwise it will just snowball and no one will be able to escape in the end.
At that time, it was not as simple as involving a few people.
Instead, all the families that have profited from this group and whose behavior is rather unsavory will be implicated.
It's not that Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En had not thought about sending someone to inform the Third Hokage, asking him to return to the village as soon as possible and stop worrying about capturing Danzo.
Unfortunately, the people sent out failed to bring back the Third Hokage.
At this point, in order to control the situation, we can only keep urging the Third Hokage to return to the village to take charge.
As a last resort, the Sarutobi and Shimura families could only keep sending people to urge the Third Hokage to give up the action of capturing Danzo as soon as possible and return to the village to take charge.
Suppress those voices in the village that are unfavorable to them.
Tsunade didn't have the heart to care about the village's affairs because more important things had come up.
The ninjas that Hatake Sakumo arranged to go to the Land of Grass to collect intelligence sent back news that a large number of Iwagakure ninjas appeared in the territory of the Land of Grass.
The Land of Grass was an ally of Konoha, but now it has become the back garden of the Iwagakure. The behavior of the Iwagakure has crossed the line and violated the non-aggression agreement set by the five major ninja villages.
Tsunade made targeted arrangements at the first opportunity and sent people to the Kusagakure Village to negotiate.
Because Chitsuki hated the Kusagakure Village too much, and because of Chitsuki's reminder, Tsunade felt that the Kusagakure Village was not to her liking.
We no longer regard them as allies.
Ever since the Iwagakure Village became restless, a lot of people have been deployed on the border.
What they are afraid of is that the Iwagakure will use the Kusagakure as a stepping stone and directly declare war on Konoha.
If Konoha continues to treat the Kusagakure as an ally, the Iwagakure army might, under the leadership of this ally, invade the Land of Fire, and Konoha would not be able to figure out what was happening.
The Iwagakure may declare war on Konoha at any time, so the ninja troops stationed on the coastline border were called back by Tsunade.
Orochimaru and his men returned to Konoha safely.
