Chapter 230: Danzo's Allies!
Chapter 230: Danzo's Allies!
“Hokage-sama!” 2
Tang Ping and Hyuga Cangyue spoke in unison.
At that moment, the Hokage's office contained only the other party.
It seemed that Hiruzen Sarutobi understood that Tang Ping and Danzo would clash if they met, so he decided to meet them separately.
"You have worked hard on this mission!"
He completely ignored the fact that the team was missing Yamakai Koji and that their return was nearly a week late.
"This is our duty, and the Meya Clan people also benefited from the Hokage-sama's 'care'!"
Tang Ping subtly expressed his dissatisfaction.
Indeed, the migration team had encountered trouble.
A group of rogue shinobi had attacked the team, and they were even equipped with explosive tags.
When did rogue shinobi become wealthy enough to afford such high-end items as explosive tags? Were they really that stupid?
There was only one truth!
Root Division.
Though they didn't act openly, they used the bandits to cause trouble.
If it weren't for Uchiha Sho leading two hundred shinobi to reinforce them, protecting so many people would have been impossible.
Therefore, it was reasonable for Tang Ping to express his dissatisfaction.
"Ha ha!" Hiruzen Sarutobi awkwardly shifted the blame, "Due to the Shinobi World War, Fire Country has become increasingly chaotic recently, and bandits have indeed become more numerous!"
He directly blamed the Shinobi World War, not mentioning Root Division at all, clearly trying to gloss over the matter.
Fine, if you're going to cover for your 'old flame,' don't blame me for finding it amusing when things go wrong in Konoha.
Tang Ping angrily bid farewell and left.
Of course, he returned to the Tian Shou Pavilion.
He was the commander of the Southwest Shinobi Army, and he had only left for a temporary mission. Now that the mission was complete, he naturally had to return.
Bang!
After the office door closed.
A figure with half of its body wrapped in bandages 'walked' out from the side wall.
It was Danzo!
It wasn't strange that the Hokage's office had such a design.
"Jiraiya, why didn't you ask them about Yamakai Koji and where they were for the past week? If they were colluding with other villages, it would be troublesome!"
Danzo angrily questioned.
To overlook such a significant issue was too lenient.
Even if the other party was a Kage-level ninja, what did it matter?
Konoha was not short of Kage-level ninjas. There was no need to fear, especially with Minato Namikaze, the 'Yellow Flash,' around.
It had to be said that Danzo had one unique ability.
He treated Konoha's strength as his own, which is why his bold and reckless actions were not surprising.
It was like saying, 'With Konoha in my hands, can you kill me?'
"Hiruzen, I am the Hokage!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, hearing the other party's questioning, was also angered and interrupted him.
"I just cleaned up your mess, and you dare to question me? You have no heart!"
"Jiraiya, you will regret this!"
Danzo angrily slammed the door and left.
He decided not to ally with the weak Hiruzen Sarutobi and instead use his Root Division to deal with the thorn in his side, Uchiha Douhei.
However, before that, he needed to help an ally first.
Hanzo!
They had already formed a secret alliance.
One coveted the other's strength, and the other coveted the position of 'Shadow' after the other became Hokage, naturally making them 'allies.'
They were completely in… no, helping each other.
As for whether Danzo would fulfill his promise to support the other in becoming the sixth 'Shadow' after becoming Hokage, that was another matter.
But he didn't expect the other to be in trouble now.
Akatsuki!
An organization that was rapidly growing in the Land of Rain.
Since many people had a favorable view of it, Hanzo couldn't use the Rain Shinobi to deal with it, so he wrote to Danzo to 'borrow troops.'
Danzo planned to personally lead the Root Division to assist his ally.
If I can't handle Team 404, can't I handle a small 'Akatsuki'?
At that moment, he had no idea what kind of monster the Root Division would face.
If he knew, he would definitely have refused to participate.
On the other side!
After leaving the Hokage Tower, the two did not immediately leave the village but returned to their clan lands separately.
At this moment, Tang Ping really wanted to know what expression Uchiha Fugaku had when the village's high-level officials forced them to acknowledge that the Main Branch had separated from the Uchiha Clan.
Of course, they also needed to discuss the handling of the immovable property, which was a substantial amount of wealth. There was no reason to let the village have it for free.
Just as he approached the Uchiha Clan's territory, he heard a few familiar voices.
"Obito, today we have to meet up with Teacher Minato. If you don't hurry, we'll be late!"
"Moron!"
"Kakashi, are you looking for a fight?"
...
From the voices, he knew they were Nohara Rin, Kakashi, and Obito.
It seemed they were heading to the front to meet up with Minato Namikaze.
And that also meant the most dramatic plot in the ninja world was about to begin (it was that time of year again for the White Album).
"Tang Ping... kun?"
Nohara Rin naturally saw Tang Ping and came over to greet him.
"It's been a while, Kakashi!"
Tang Ping immediately bypassed Rin, the big troublemaker, and greeted his former teammates.
Without women in his heart, he felt more focused and powerful! At this moment, she was the center of the storm, and he didn't want to get caught up in it.
"You... have gotten stronger!"
Kakashi's gaze was somewhat strange, as if he were looking at a monster.
"No, I've only grown a little!"
Tang Ping denied it.
He didn't think his current strength was particularly impressive.
Even without mentioning those who could traverse the void with their physical bodies and hunt planets, just the LYB in the Pure Land was beyond his ability to contend with. So, it was reasonable to feel that his strength hadn't grown much... right?
"You...!"
Obito seemed to want to ask something but ultimately didn't speak.
The disappearance of the Uchiha Main Branch was a taboo within the clan. If anyone dared to discuss it, they would be punished by clan law.
"Let's go!"
Kakashi pulled Obito.
He wasn't as dull as the other. He had a vague sense of what was happening with the Uchiha Clan recently, so he took Obito away.
"Kakashi!"
Tang Ping thought for a moment and then threw a scroll to the other as he was about to leave.
Shadow Mirror Body Transfer Technique!
This was a good thing.
"Learn it, you'll find it useful in the future!"
He said seriously.
If he used Obito's information to turn him into a woman during his darkest moments and then had him deal with the White-eyed Wolf, wouldn't that be double the pleasure?
True love is between the same sex; the opposite sex is only for procreation!
With 'Kakashi,' Obito would definitely forget about Nohara Rin... absolutely, she was just an acquaintance, and he didn't want to cause any misunderstandings.
Anyway, in the original plot, Kakashi was always single, so it would be better to become a girl and bring happiness to his brothers.
What a virtuous deed!
Of course, to perform the secret technique, one needed a target and materials. For now, he was just letting the other learn it. He would wait until Kakashi was in despair to have him perform the secret technique.
Brilliant!
Tang Ping even praised his own creativity.
This entertainment would keep him laughing for years, and he would gain a pawn. It was a win-win situation.
With an expectant heart, Tang Ping entered the clan's territory.
Funeral attire!
As soon as he entered, he noticed that many people were wearing this clothing, which was only worn when a relative had died.
It was terrible.
The Uchiha had already suffered significant losses in the previous war of attrition. Then, they were ambushed by the Third Mizukage, resulting in the loss of several hundred clan members.
Considering that the entire Uchiha Clan, excluding the Main Branch, had only about a thousand ninja, the death of several hundred Uchiha was a significant blow, almost warranting 'full clan funeral attire.'
A single incompetent general can exhaust the entire army!
He had never felt this phrase so profoundly.
After traveling through time, he had received the Uchiha Clan's favor, which was why he felt such anger.
If it were a different clan from the Fire Shadow Village, even if they suffered heavy losses or were wiped out, he would have watched with amusement.
The Uchiha looked at him with very complex expressions.
Perhaps they felt guilty about the Main Branch but also resented the Main Branch for splitting the Uchiha Clan.
Tang Ping, bearing these gazes, arrived at the clan leader's residence.
