Chapter 69: Yamanaka Fu and Root Ninjas
The two people were not their bosses, so their talks would never have gained any results.
Kandachi and Yamanaka Fu could not make decisions for the people behind them, so the two sides quickly decided to end the meeting temporarily.
The negotiations between Konoha and Ame seem to have collapsed.
“Naraku, Konoha’s people were leaving.”
Konan lowers her head and glances at the Konoha ninja, who was retreating in an orderly manner. Her face became a little anxious.
Zetsu, who was hiding under the ground, was also becoming impatient.
Uehara secretly activated destiny skills to observe the surrounding situation… that guy was still lurking!
Uehara glanced at the Root ninja who was going away and whispered, “Sensei, let’s go kill Konoha’s ninjas first!”
After he and Konan left, if Zetsu followed them, then there was a major problem!
If there was no problem…
Then he could complete a few missions along the way!
As the darkest organization in the ninja world, the Root, under Shimura Danzo, was hated by many people, so he should get plenty of rewards…
At least the rewards shouldn’t be bad.
“…okay.”
Konan agreed with Uehara’s opinion and told him, “Once we start the killing, make sure to leave one alive to see if we can get information on Danzo…”
“But…”
Uehara frowned and said, “These Konoha ninjas were all elites, and I don’t think they would betray their boss…”
“Yes.”
Konan nodded and said softly, “But it doesn’t matter. I will explain to you after we catch one.”
She wanted to summon out Pain.
Nigendo (Human Path) Pain could collect information directly from a human’s brain, making the Human Path truly valuable.
If it weren’t for its ability to collect information, it would basically be like Shurado (Asura Path), acting as a meat shield…
“I’ll go with you!”
Hirakawa quickly grabbed his ninja sword and followed them.
If they attack the Ame Ninja, Hirakawa would definitely take a more aggressive att.i.tude. Since they were ambushing and hunting down Konoha Ninja, he was more than willing to cooperate.
“…”
Uehara and Konan couldn’t help but glance at him again. Does he think he’s strong enough to be used in battle?
Hirakawa understood their eyes and muttered dissatisfied, “Despite all this, I am also a Jonin!”
“Jonin…”
Uehara murmured, “I recently wanted to test my strength…”
Hattori Hirakawa, “…”
Konan tapped the back of Uehara’s head and chuckled, “Okay, then take him with you!”
After all, it was rare to meet an Ame Ninja who was willing to cooperate.
Konan and Nagato wanted to kill Hanzo. In addition to getting revenge, they also wanted to rule their hometown, the Amegakure, and lead their hometown in a better direction.
Ninjas loyal to Hanzo would only cause them trouble when they governed the Land of Rain.
For this reason, Konan attacked Ame outposts with Uehara. She was sowing seeds of fear, forcing Hanzo into summoning his cronies to protect himself, thereby destroying them all.
Hirakawa was not very strong, but he was also suffering, and he had signs of dissatisfaction towards Hanzo…
That could save his life.
After all, the Land of Rain was a small country, and there were few ninjas.
Both Konan and Nagato were well aware of the national strength of the Country of Rain. Its scarcity also made the ninjas of other countries look down on Ame Ninja even more.
The Konoha Ninjas, who just evacuated the canyon, were a perfect example.
Yamanaka Fu led his subordinates to hide in a stone cave. He was writing about his first contact with Ame Ninja, and he planned to send someone to Konoha with it once he was done.
“Huh, who do those Ame Ninja think they were?”
A Root ninja finally couldn’t help but curse.
Although Root was not well-known, Konoha’s power was great enough that even regular Anbu ninjas dared to attack and kill outside their territory.
Amegakure was just a small Ninja Village. In the past war, it was the place where big countries fought. A group of Ame Ninjas wanted to cooperate with the Root, but they still wanted Root to take a step back?
“The leader of the Amegakure is Hanzo, after all…”
Yamanaka Fu’s pen stopped as he softly persuaded his subordinate, “Danzo-sama cannot leave the village for the time being. We could only do this mission and bear with it for a while. This mission was very important.”
“Yes, Captain.”
“Aside from patrols and reconnaissance, everyone should avoid going out.”
The fingers of Yamanaka Fu lightly tapped the desk as he whispered, ” During this period, we would wait for the orders of Danzo-sama. You should not provoke the Land of Rain and make a mess…”
“Enemy attack!”
A panicked voice came in from the cave entrance!
Before Yamanaka Fu and these Konoha ninjas had time to react, the deafening booming filled the cave!
Boom!
A bombing attack had destroyed the whole mountain!
Yamanaka Fu only felt a tremor in the ground under his feet before the falling rocks rolled down! There was nowhere to hide.
“Doton, Ganchuro no Jutsu!” (Rock Pillar Prison Technique)
A few Root ninjas quickly formed hand seals, releasing earth ninjutsu that could prevent a cave-in.
One of the sensory ninjas observed for a while and said in a deep voice, “Captain, the wall of this mountain isn’t thick. We can open a hole and escape!”
“Futon, Shinkuha!” (Vacuum Wave)
The several ninjas who were good at wind release ninjutsu tried to open a hole to the outside world.
When the group of Root ninjas jumped out, they stood in shock at the drastically changed environment. The surprise on their faces could not be concealed, “This…what the h.e.l.l was going on?”
“If I remember correctly…”
The eyes of Yamanaka Fu were slightly dead. He looked at the scattered gravel, and a drop of cold sweat gradually slid down his head, “This should have been a mountain, right?”
Where was the mountain now?!
Except for the cave they settled in, the whole hill had been blown up!
“Captain, someone’s there!”
Several figures stood on a rock.
A woman with blue hair was standing on the rock. Beside her were several teenage kids and, on the other side, a shivering ordinary Ame Ninja.
It’s Konan and Uehara’s group.
Looking at the appearance of the group of Konoha ninjas, Uehara sighed, “Despite using a million exploding tags, so many people survived… is this the strength of Konoha’s ninja?”
“Ahem…”
Konan coughed a few times, her face flushed.
Since she just laid down a layer of exploding tags at random, the coverage was too broad and scattered. She did not exert the full strength of the exploding tags at all.
Konan indeed blew up the entire mountain… but the Konoha ninja hidden in the cave survived.
Regardless, they want one of Konoha’s ninjas alive.
Konan spread out her arms calmly, and the two paper wings slowly gathered behind her. The paper wings sent her into the air, “Alright, Naraku, let’s start!”
