Chapter 557 Shocking News
Tsunade ruffled her hair into the shape of a bird's nest. She was not an unreasonable person. So if you think about it this way, she was indeed the only one who was idle.
"Okay, okay." She nodded reluctantly, willing to go over and help identify it. As for how much she could distinguish, it was hard to say.
Tsunade was drafted into the army and had to identify the true identities of the corpses one by one. Shizune not only had to take care of the affairs of the Konoha Hospital, but also had to help Tsunade with some consulting work, and she was so busy that she was dizzy.
Ino said that she was very busy, but actually she had many subordinates, so to be honest, there was not much for them to do.
She began to think about her own things. Whether it was integrating the last of the Yin-attribute chakra into her bloodline to form a bloodline network, or using mental stimulation to open the Rinnegan, she needed to repair and improve her relationship with the God of Death.
When Ino was sent to the underworld by Nagato using the "Reincarnation Technique", in order to save her life, she "killed" more than half of the living stakes on the side of the God of Death. The key is to kill them. Now that the people are dead, the effect will naturally be weakened by half.
The person must be re-arrested.
To a certain extent, Ino has now replaced Danzo's previous position in the village. She can do some dirty work as long as it does not challenge the moral bottom line too much.
That night, she sent out the former Root ninja to find someone for her.
We need bad guys, the worse the better, and those with chakra are given priority.
The former Root Ninja has always been a tool-type ninja who "doesn't care about the number of enemies, but only cares about where the enemies are", and she is very confident in using them.
It's hard to find good people in the ninja world, but bad people are everywhere! Within two days, more people were sent to the Death God space one after another, and the friendship between Ino and the Death God Laotie began to heat up again.
After learning that the organization had the means to perform Impure World Reincarnation, Mei Terumi didn't bother pretending to be pitiful and hurried back to the Hidden Mist Village.
Many ninjas died in Konoha in the battle, and as the village of blood mist, the Hidden Mist Village also had many ninjas who died.
After the Third Tsuchikage received a clear answer from Konoha regarding the tailed beasts, he immediately set out to return to the Iwagakure Village.
Kurotsuchi liked the relaxed atmosphere of Konoha, but he had no choice but to leave at this time.
As an ally, Konoha informed the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village of the news of the Impure World Reincarnation, but they did not care what the others did.
A month passed quickly.
After all, Obito did not watch Zetsu extract the tailed beast's chakra alone. After slacking off for three days, he went out to commit a crime and stole a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from wealthy merchants.
There are only two people these days who, regardless of their status as masters, attack ordinary businessmen. One is Ino, and the other is Obito. However, Ino basically commits crimes under Obito's guise. So, to round it off, Obito is the only one who attacks ordinary businessmen.
Obito spent a lot of money to recruit Kakuzu to his camp again, and Kakuzu brought Hidan back.
The four of them working together are far inferior to the nine heroes at their peak, but their speed in extracting the chakra of the tailed beasts has increased a lot.
All in all, it took twelve days to completely drain the Three-Tails and transform it into a part of the Outer Path Demon Statue's chakra.
Obito felt that his own martial arts were insufficient, so he wanted to attack Yahiko and Konan from the Land of Wind in order to seize Nagato's Rinnegan.
But Gaara still has a certain appeal in the Land of Wind, and Hydrangea has taken some elite Rain Ninjas to join them. If Obito goes there alone to steal the Rinnegan, the outcome will most likely be that he will leave the Kamuy Sharingan there.
Kakuzu only helps him for the money. If there is no money, or the mission is too dangerous, Kakuzu will abandon him and run away without any mental burden. Not to mention Hidan. Although others may not know his abilities, Konan knows them.
A forceful attack is unrealistic; the only option is to outsmart it.
Two days later, shocking news reached Konoha Village.
Maki, the teacher of Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro, who had been acting as the Kazekage and a representative of the neutral faction of Sunagakure, has died.
He died in his own office. The surface of his body was crisscrossed with seven or eight wounds caused by sharp weapons, one of which cut his heart diagonally.
The murderer's sword moves were sharp and his methods were cruel.
The ninja in charge of the autopsy looked left and right and thought that the wound was caused by Konoha Village's "Crimson Moon Dance". The user of this set of swordsmanship was none other than Gekko Gale, who had a personal grudge against Maki.
Temari reported the matter to Konoha Village, hoping that they would send someone to participate in the investigation, at least to clear Gekko Hayate of suspicion.
When Moonlight Gale got the news, he was confused.
Why would you kill Maki when you are fine?
And he couldn't beat Maki, an elite jonin! The difference in strength between the two sides was quite obvious.
In the Sand Village, under the protection of many guards, he killed the acting Kazekage who was stronger than himself? Gekkou Gale felt that everyone overestimated him.
However, he is willing to go to the Sand Village to assist in the investigation.
Minato Namikaze couldn't bear to see him taking risks alone. Konoha and Sunagakure were allies, but this ally really had little integrity.
The Hokage's work is too busy and Naruto sometimes can't take care of it. He feels that the father and son still need to improve their relationship, and going out of the village to do missions together is a good opportunity.
Medical ninjas are indispensable for examining injuries and checking corpses.
People like Tsunade and Ino are too high-level, and there is no need for so many high-end combat forces to go to the Sand Village, so he called the experienced Shizune.
Minato Namikaze, Naruto, Hayate Gekkou and Shizune left Konoha Village and went to the Sand Village to investigate the truth behind Maki's death.
Before Shizune went on a mission, she left Tuntun to Ino's care.
"Don't worry, I will raise Piglet to be fat and strong!"
Mute: "."
The more you say this, the more worried I become.
Five days later, news that was powerful enough to cause a strong earthquake in the ninja world reached Konoha Village.
Minato Namikaze went to investigate the circumstances of Maki's death. The news sent back by the carrier kite was relatively normal in the first three days. On the fourth day, it sent back news that some clues had been found. But today, it suddenly lost contact.
A loss of contact can easily lead to bad associations. Considering Minato Namikaze's identity as the Fourth Hokage, the problem is even more serious.
"Have the Sand Village gone crazy? How dare they attack the Hokage?!" Utane Koharu was very angry. According to her experience, Namikaze Minato was killed by the Sand Village using insidious means. If the Sand Village could betray Konoha once, then they could naturally betray it a second time.
Several senior executives felt that the situation was very tricky. Not only was Minato Namikaze out of contact, but even Naruto, Hayate Gekko, and Shizune had not sent back any news. It was as if four living people had disappeared out of thin air.
"I will take the Anbu ninjas to find the teacher." Kakashi suppressed his anger. He also suspected that the Sand Village had secretly stabbed him, or used some despicable means to seriously injure Minato Namikaze first, causing the Fourth Hokage to fail in the Sand Village.
