Chapter 23： All directions are moving

Chapter 23 The clouds are moving in all directions

For Konoha, the vacant fifth-generation Hokage position is the key right now, and other things can be put behind.

Similarly, for the Sand Ninja, finding the missing Fourth Kazekage is their top priority.

Excluding some of the Suna ninja who are currently imprisoned in Konoha, the ninjas of Sunagakure Village can be said to have gone out in full force to search for the Fourth Kazekage or his body with considerable experience, just like they searched for the Third Kazekage more than ten years ago.

To some extent, Suna Ninja has Orochimaru to thank.

After all, it was originally agreed that the Fourth Kazekage Rasa would lead the Sand Ninja and the Sound Ninja led by Orochimaru to raid Konoha.

I don’t know where Orochimaru made the mistake, but he first chose to assassinate his ally, the Fourth Kazekage.

If it is to get close to the Third Hokage, give him a fatal blow, and thus disguise the identity of the Fourth Hokage.

During the Chunin Exam, Orochimaru did not have the idea of ​​​​surprise attack and kill the Third Hokage with one blow.

If not, then what’s the point of assassinating the Fourth Kazekage?

Wouldn’t it be nice to have one more person, one more helper?

However, precisely because Orochimaru assassinated the Fourth Kazekage, the current situation of the Sand Ninja is much better.

Otherwise, the fact that Suna Ninja caused great damage and casualties to Konoha would not be lightly revealed by Konoha, thinking that it was deceived.

It is very likely that a real war will break out between Konoha and Suna Ninja, and as in the past history, other Ninja Villages will end up one after another in the following time, thus starting a true Fourth Ninja World War.

Looking at it this way, Orochimaru's assassination of the Fourth Kazekage was regarded as a meritorious service.

The other three shadows who are also members of the Five Great Ninja Villages are still there.

Hence, after receiving the relevant information about the attack on Konoha, they all gloated in unison and gave Orochimaru a thumbs up in their hearts, hoping that he would continue to work hard in the future.

Then, when they saw the news that Hagororomo Genzuki had broken away from the shackles of reincarnation and left Konoha alone, their expressions instantly condensed.

Although they did not know as comprehensively as the Hokage about the art of reincarnation, Senju Tobirama often used this ninjutsu to disgust his enemies during the reign of the Second Hokage.

Through the relevant information collected, they can still understand something.

Unsurprisingly, Hagoromo Xuanyue was not resurrected, but her soul was temporarily summoned to a state of filth.

But even so, one reality cannot be denied.

That is, Hagoromo Gengyue, carrying self-awareness, truly sets foot on the land of the world again after decades.

Iwagakure Village.

The third Tsuchikage Onoki received news that Hagororomo Genzuki had reappeared while he was in the hospital treating his old waist.

As he was shouting "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts," his expression, which did not look like a Tsuchikage, suddenly condensed, and then his eyes became extremely complicated.

“Hagoromo Xuanyue.”

If you want to say who knows Hagoromo Genzuki best in the current ninja world.

He believes in second place, and no one can recognize him in first place.

Who let him see Yu Yi Xuan Yue with his own eyes?

Not in the final battle in the Valley of the Fallen Gods.

But it was earlier, even before the five great ninja villages were established.

In the Warring States Period, when it was common for all five-year-olds to fight in the warring States period, when Konoha was first established, Onoki was already fifteen or sixteen years old, and was already an adult at that time.

During his more than ten years of ninja career, due to missions, he had met Hagoromo Genzuki, the leader of the Hagoromo clan who was at the height of his power, several times due to missions. He had witnessed with his own eyes the scene of a true genius who was several years older than him showing off his prowess.

There is no need to solemnly remind you through words, and there is no need for the second-generation Tsuchikage as a teacher to repeatedly emphasize the horror,

Onoki has already had a deep understanding of Hagororomo Genzuki, and he is still deeply impressed to this day.

“Who would have thought that I, who stood like a follower back then, would now become a third-generation Tsuchikage. You, who were so arrogant back then, have long since turned into a handful of loess.”

Ōnoki shook his head with emotion, motioned to the nurse who was massaging to get out of the way, stood up and put on the Tsuchikage God's robe.

"Lord Tsuchikage, what should we do?" Onoki's son, Huang Tu, who handed over the information, asked for instructions.

Ohnoki said without thinking: "Let the Iwa Ninja troops near the front line of the Land of Fire move to scare Konoha. If it is beneficial then, take it. If it is not beneficial, it can also draw down the opponent's energy. As for Hagoromo Genzuki." Ohnoki pondered. After wondering for a while, he finally shook his head with a slight sigh and said: "Send a team of people to investigate. It doesn't matter if you don't find it."

No matter how dazzling the glory, it has finally passed.

Even if it appears again, it will only be bright for a moment.

From a personal perspective, Onoki really wanted to see Hagoromo Genzuki, a figure he admired when he was young, again.

But from the overall interests, the village's strength cannot be consumed on meaningless things.

Ohnoki followed the latter.

but

Ohnoki's lips curled up as he thought of something.

He is not in a hurry regarding Hagoromo Xuanyue, but that does not mean that some people are not in a hurry either.

“Bang!”

The sound of slamming the table sounded in Mizukage's office.

The young Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei ordered in a cold tone: "Send out all the ninja-hunting troops. I must find Hagoromo Genzuki and **** him back to Kirigakure Village."

As the biggest loser in the battle at the Valley of the Gods, Kirigakure Village not only lost the first generation Mizukage, but also caused the reputation of the Kirigakure to drop a lot.

More importantly, the newly integrated Kirigakure Village lost its backbone to rule it all, and the internal struggle that had been suppressed with great difficulty was once again aroused.

Even if the second-generation Mizukage Kiden Gengetsu takes office, the effect of unifying the village will not be very good when his prestige is far less than that of the first-generation Mizukage.

What's more, he himself died at the end of the first ninja war.

This is good, the internal struggle in Kirigakure Village has intensified, so much so that the "Blood Mist Age" has emerged.

Even though the Blood Mist Era is now over, the legacy of Kirigakure for decades is still tormenting Terumi Mei, the Fifth Mizukage.

It is definitely not wrong to say that Hagoromo Genzuki is the source of a series of tragedies in Kirigakure Village.

No, when Terumi Meiichi, who is already weak in femininity, heard that Hagoromo Genzuki, who had been denounced by the elders of the Kiri ninja since childhood, appeared in the ninja world again, no matter what state the opponent was in, she would take him down in repayment to her ancestors. hatred.

Fortunately, Ao calmly persuaded him on the side: "Mizukage-sama, Hagoromo Genzuki should still be in the land of fire. Now that the situation in the ninja world is very unstable, if we go to war in such a big way, it is very likely to cause misunderstanding in Konoha. Please think again.”

“Besides, that person is already dead after all, so there is really no need to spend so much energy looking for him.”

So what if you find it.

Hagoromo Xuanyue is dead.

Is it possible that you want to kill the other person again?

Will the other party be afraid?

At any rate, Terumi Mei finally gave up the idea of ​​going to war, and in a compromise, chose to send some people to secretly pursue Hagoromo Genzuki.

at last.

Compared to the Kiri Ninja’s Jiji Waiwai.

The cloud ninja is much simpler.

Even if it was the first Mizukage who died, the first Raikage only had an arm broken.

After receiving the news, the Fourth Raikage Ai raised a dumbbell as thick as his arm and gave the order without hesitation:

“Use all your strength to find Hagoromo Genzuki and avenge the first generation Raikage’s broken arm!”

"yes!"

No one refuted.

The huge fighting machine of Cloud Ninja is operating efficiently.
