The development of illusion is indeed difficult, but Hoshita Shuichi has also figured out how to quickly break through the enemy's chakra operation system and directly attack the mental will.
The breakthrough point lies in the art of spiritualization.
It's a pity. If we could obtain the mind-changing technique of the Yamanaka clan, perhaps it could be faster.
However, while Hoshita Shuichi was busy in Konoha like a little bee, the situation in the ninja world was changing rapidly.
In the Iwagakure Village, in the Tsuchikage Building, Kitsuchi walked into the Tsuchikage's office holding a piece of information with a serious but somewhat excited look on his face.
"Father, a very important piece of information!"
Onoki looked up when he heard the voice, "About the Suna Ninja?"
Kitsuchi nodded: "The Third Kazekage is missing!"
"Um?"
Ohnoki was stunned for a moment, then flew up, took the information from Kitsuchi and looked at it carefully: "The Kazekage is missing? No wonder the Suna Ninja has been going crazy recently!"
"That is to say, the Kazekage is most likely the Sasori of the Red Sand wanted by the Sand Village, and Old Murasaki..."
Then Ōnoki asked his son, "Can Roshi defeat the Kazekage?"
Kitsuchi shook his head: "The Kazekage has the ability to suppress the tailed beasts, not to mention the tailed beast Jinchuriki."
"Father, are you saying that the Third Kazekage is dead?"
Ohnoki said in a deep voice: "With the strength of the Third Kazekage, if he is missing, there is only one possibility, he has been killed."
As a bystander, he obviously saw it more clearly than those people in the Sand Village.
The people of the Sand Village were hoping for a lucky break and were searching for the Third Kazekage in the name of searching for the Red Sand Scorpion.
Moreover, he sent someone over a few days ago to ask for the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi.
Ohnoki said: "Convene a full meeting!"
In less than half an hour, Ōnoki's decision to declare war on the Sand Village was agreed upon by everyone.
Because now is the best time to attack, the Sand Village's defense is weak because of the search for the Third Kazekage.
Secondly, if the Iwagakure Village does not start a war now, once the Sand Village reacts and accepts the fact that the Third Kazekage is dead, it will choose to go to war with the Iwagakure Village in order to avenge the Third Kazekage.
As the order to start the war was given, the war machine of the Iwagakure Village immediately began to operate rapidly. In less than half a day, a ninja army of a thousand people quickly moved south and headed straight for the Kingdom of Wind.
The reason why they were able to assemble the troops so quickly was because the Iwagakure Village had already been preparing for war.
Either the Sand Village will attack them, or they will get there first and kill them.
There was no doubt that the Iwagakure's actions were extremely swift. They entered the Land of Birds on the same day. Wherever they passed, they killed or captured all the Suna Ninja teams that were looking for the Third Kazekage.
The next day, the Iwa Ninja troops passed through the Bird Country and entered the Wind Country without any preparation by the Suna Ninja Wind Country border guards.
The border guard force of the Suna Ninja was like a castle built of sand by children at the beach, which was scattered at the first charge of the Iwa Ninja.
May 12th, Konoha 44th year.
On the third day after the Iwagakure ninja invaded the Sand Village, in the meeting room of the Konoha Hokage building.
The third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Homura Mitokado, and Utane Koharu all gathered together.
Danzo was more imposing than last time. He stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "It has been proven that the Third Kazekage died at the hands of the Red Sand Scorpion and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of the Iwa Ninja."
"Now the Iwa Ninja has taken advantage of the Suna Ninja's weak defense to enter the Wind Kingdom. Hiruzen, this is a perfect opportunity, no matter for the Suna Ninja or the Iwa Ninja!"
"The Iwa Ninja's infiltration into the Grass Country has become very serious!"
Homura Mitokado and Utane Koharu also nodded, but did not speak, just looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, "Although the Iwagakure have already dispatched troops, according to intelligence, the number of vanguard troops will not exceed 1,500."
"The Sand Village was caught off guard because of the disappearance of the Third Kazekage. Their strength is not weak."
"If we start a war now, whether we attack the Sand Village or both the Sand Village and the Rock Village at the same time, the Kumogakure Ninja will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely take the opportunity to send troops."
"And the Hidden Mist Village. If the Kumo ninjas send out troops, they will not let go of this opportunity. Then we will have to fight on three fronts."
"Danzo, we haven't fully recovered from the last Ninja World War!"
Homura Mitokado and Utane Koharu also thought it made a lot of sense and considered it more comprehensively, and couldn't help but nod in unison.
Danzo's heart sank. Two useless guys!
I supported him just now, but now you have changed so quickly.
However, Danzo did not give up: "If we don't take advantage of this opportunity now, won't the Cloud and Mist Ninjas attack us?"
"Even if the Third Kazekage hadn't died, the major ninja villages would have been ready to take action."
"The Iwa Ninja covets the Grass Country, and the Kumo ninja even wants to take over the interests of small countries such as the Soup Country and the Field Country."
"The Hidden Mist Village also wants to extend its influence to the mainland!"
"Since the war has broken out now, it will sooner or later affect the Fire Nation because we occupy the place with the richest resources!"
Homura Mitokado and Utane Koharu thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "Even so, for us, the later we enter the war, the greater the advantage we will have."
"And the sooner we enter the war, the more we will be caught in a multi-front battle, which will be very disadvantageous to us. Our troops will be stretched to their limits, and we will be defeated if we are not careful!"
After hearing this, Homura Mitokado finally spoke up: "Hiruzen is right."
"But, Hiruzen, what Danzo said makes sense. Even if we don't join the war now, we must be prepared."
"Jiraiya is not in the village. Call him back. The war could break out at any time."
Utatane Koharu also said: "Let's start reducing the amount of tasks, so that we can mobilize manpower at any time."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "Jiraiya, I have already let Minato notify you."
Then he looked at Danzo, who looked unhappy, and said, "Danzo, pay more attention to the Rain Country. It would be best if we could win over Hanzo to form an alliance with us."
Danzo, the hawk, needs to find something for him to do so that he doesn't jump too happily.
Seeing that Danzo did not nod immediately, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "As for the experiment on the first generation cells, let's stop here and don't let Orochimaru do it again."
Hoshita Shuichi reported this matter last month, but he waited until now to bring it up and make a small fuss about it.
Danzo was shocked when he heard this, and almost thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen had discovered the existence of Ka.
Homura Mitokado and Utane Koharu both frowned, but did not blame her.
Danzo secretly clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "I understand!"
"I will personally lead people to the Rain Country!"
This is the end of a meeting.
Danzo came with full confidence and momentum, but returned in disgrace in the end.
After returning to the Root base, Danzo still couldn't swallow his anger. He then came to the place where Tenzo was training, and when he saw Tenzo perform Wood Release, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This will be his trump card!
After watching silently for a moment, Danzo turned and left. After returning to the Root base, he immediately began to make arrangements.
Not long after, a large number of Root members gathered, and then Danzo took these people away from Konoha Village and headed straight for the Rain Country.
Since I can't do anything in the village, I'll go to the Rain Country to look for opportunities!
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen soon received the news that Danzo had left the village, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Danzo also put a lot of pressure on him, because Danzo did not actually represent himself. There were other pro-war factions in Konoha Village who stood on Danzo's side.
"War..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
He really doesn't want to fight.
The losses in the last Ninja World War were heavy. Now Konoha is just starting to recover, but Kakashi's generation has not yet fully grown up.
Once the war breaks out and they fight on multiple fronts, these young geniuses will inevitably face the most dangerous tasks.
However, when he thought of Minato and Hoshita Shuichi, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt very comforted.
And Kakashi is also a promising young man who will be able to stand on his own in the future.
Uchiha Shisui of the Uchiha clanOne person after another flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.
At this time, in an underground experimental base in the back mountain of Konoha Village, Hoshita Shuichi looked at the various experimental instruments that had been thoroughly arranged and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Finally finished?"
Tsunade, who had checked with Asuka and Shizune, also smiled and said, "Now we can officially start the experiment."
We were all in Konoha Hospital before, but the first generation cells were too special, and there were too many people and eyes, so it was very troublesome.
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Then let's get started!"
As he said this, he and Asuka, Shizune and the others brought out the sealed scrolls one by one, unsealed them, and took out the samples.
There are Hashirama's cells, the Third Kazekage's cells, the Four-Tails, the Eight-Tails, and even Gekko Hayate's cells.
After quickly preparing the experimental materials, Hoshita Shuichi discussed the plan with Tsunade.
Obviously, the study of Hashirama's cells must be given top priority.
However, the research on tailed beast cells actually also helps in the development of medical ninjutsu. After all, the tailed beast chakra also has a strong healing effect.
"Then let's do it together, using shadow clones!"
Tsunade waved her hand with great heroism.
Hoshita Shuichi curled his lips. He was the one who was tired!
However, being surrounded by beautiful women was not bad.
"Let's get started!"
Hoshita Shuichi waved his hand and started to get busy.
And this busyness lasted until the evening.
When returning home, Hoshita Shuichi heard people talking about the war between Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja. Asuka leaned over to whisper in Hoshita Shuichi's ear: "Shuichi, if we are discovered, will we be besieged by Suna Ninja and Iwa Ninja?"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, we won't be discovered."
If they were discovered, it wouldn't just be the Sand and Iwa Ninjas that would besiege them. The Cloud and Mist Ninjas would also definitely take advantage of the situation.
At that time Very exciting!
After returning home and finishing their meal, Yakushi Nono also talked about the war between Iwagakure and Sandagainu. She knew more about it than Asuka and was more worried.
If the matter is exposed, under the huge pressure, will Konoha Village hand over the murderer? This is what Yakushi Nono is most worried about.
Hoshita Shuichi could see this, so he took the hand of Yakushi Nono and comforted him, "Don't worry, there is no evidence for this."
"Even if they insist it was me, they can't do anything to me. I master the Flying Thunder God Technique."
The only handle is the Third Kazekage cells in Orochimaru's hands.
However, given Orochimaru's personality, he would not reveal it to Danzo.
Even Danzo couldn't deal with him in this way, especially when he could still bring benefits to Danzo.
Otherwise, why would we need evidence? Danzo could have revealed the news to the Sand and Iwa Ninjas long ago to force Konoha to hand over the person.
Of course, all fearlessness comes from strength!
