Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

"It seems we're not enough, and aren't you worried about the serious consequences this might cause?"

"Of course I know that Grass Village has Stone Village behind it."

Shūzawa shrugged.

"Besides, Lord Danzō has also provided intelligence that Huangtu is currently in Grass Village, and we also need to investigate the research projects of Grass Village.

No matter how you look at it, we are bound to clash with Grass Village. Since that's the case, why don't we combine these tasks?

We can attack Grass Village under the guise of investigation, capture Huangtu, and obtain intelligence while the village negotiates with Stone Village.

As long as we don't easily kill these powerful people from Stone Village, there's room for maneuver.

Besides, Sand Village is an ally of Konoha. Ōnoki wants to continue heading south anyway. As long as Sand Village cooperates a little, I think the Third Tsuchikage will be willing to talk."

Shūzawa paused here, but he couldn't help but add silently in his heart.

Moreover, I can also use Danzō!

Let Lord Danzō take the lead and have a long, nonsensical conversation with Ebizō, making him offer some benefits. By then, Ōnoki will have to talk even if he doesn't want to.

Furthermore, Shūzawa can also subtly reveal Lord Danzō's influence in Sand Village to Huangtu so that he can relay it to his father.

As for how the Third Hokage and the Third Tsuchikage will view this matter in the end, that's none of Shūzawa's concern.

After all, he's just a wage earner.

Shūzawa didn't say these things, but his previous words had already plunged Kakashi and the others into silence.

Yūgao and Tenzō might not understand so much, and Uchiha Itachi has also turned into a little mute, or rather, he doesn't even have the right to speak.

But Kakashi and Shisui immediately understood that this was to use Sand Village to disgust Stone Village, forcing Ōnoki to negotiate while taking a share of the pie in the Land of Grass!

And the key to this seems to be how they capture Huangtu.

Thinking of this, their scalps tingled, and their gazes towards Shūzawa changed slightly.

Shisui was fine. After experiencing the Yekura incident and Shūzawa's 'storytelling sessions', he could calmly accept many things.

But Kakashi was a little dazed. This Shūzawa seems a bit exaggerated?

In such a short period, he connected the Land of Grass mission and Obito's mission, and at the same time, he used his previous Sand Village mission to seek benefits for Konoha here?

How did that Hokage Assistant cultivate such a person?

"But you haven't said what we're going to do, have you?"

Although he was a little shocked and felt like something was wrong, Kakashi pondered for a moment and simply asked.

"We only have six people, but Stone Village doesn't have few personnel, and even if Grass Village is restrained by the border, there are still an unknown number of ninjas in the village.

Wait, you're not planning to have other Anbu teams take action, are you?"

"As expected of Captain Kakashi, you think the same as me!"

Shūzawa immediately showed a flattering expression.

"Our operation this time is not a solo mission; there are many teams behind us cooperating.

Since that's the case, why not make good use of this point to achieve our goals?

We're all working hard for Konoha, so I think everyone will do something, right?"

Kakashi was really speechless. Besides Shūzawa's belated 'Captain', it was also because this guy was really planning to make things big.

Anbu's surprise attack on Grass Village is a terrifying thought. If the mission fails, it will be a big trouble.

"Should we report to Lord Hokage?"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment and said softly, which immediately caused a hint of dissatisfaction to appear on Shūzawa's face.

"Captain Kakashi, speed is of the essence. We defeated those guys before, who knows if they will report it? Many unexpected situations will arise.

Moreover, generals abroad are not bound by their orders. The key is to quickly complete the mission and end everything!"

Saying this, Shūzawa looked at Kakashi with a serious face.

"Captain Kakashi, please make a decision quickly. We don't have much time left."

As he spoke, Shūzawa pointed to Grass Village, which was slowly appearing in sight not far away.

"."

Kakashi was stunned. He finally understood why Shūzawa suddenly called him captain.

If this fails, he's prepared to let him take the blame!

"That's strange, why do I always have a feeling of unease?"

Inside Grass Village, Huangtu frowned and glanced around. He couldn't figure out why he had such a strange feeling.

This time's 'scamming' Konoha operation was naturally led by him. He couldn't possibly let his old father come in person, could he?

"But are those few Akatsuki members really enough?"

Huangtu admitted that the Akatsuki members seemed to be quite good, but the key issue was that the person they were trying to lure out was the guy who captured the Fourth Raikage!

The Fourth Raikage might not be as powerful as his father now, but that was the guy who could exhaust tens of thousands of ninjas for three days and three nights before dying.

But as the son of such a madman, he shouldn't be easy to deal with, after all, he's also a Kage!

"Forget it, let's just wait for news."

Huangtu sighed helplessly. Then he saw a newly formed Grass Village ninja team quickly leaving this place, seemingly very urgently.

"Bunya, what's going on?"

Huangtu was full of question marks. Helplessly, he could only find Bunya, who had come with him, to ask about it.

Bunya was a young Jōnin from Stone Village, with considerable personal strength and also relatively smart.

This time, arranging for him to carry out the mission with Huangtu was to have him assist Huangtu well.

"The Konoha border troops are making moves again."

Wen Ya's gaze also fell upon the ninjas from Kusagakure, and he whispered an explanation to Huangtu.

"Their deployed forces are clearly insufficient, so they need reinforcements now."

"Tch, their defense forces."

Huangtu shook his head dismissively, always looking down on these small country ninja villages.

Except for Amegakure.

To be honest, the reason why the great nations don't attack these small ninja villages and completely seize them is actually quite absurd.

On one hand, it is necessary for the great nations to have such small countries as buffers.

They can't just start fighting on their own territory as soon as a war breaks out, right?

Secondly, some tasks are better left to the small countries, such as dealing with bandits. The people who kill them have nothing to do with us.

We can continue to collect money from them while arranging for young ninjas to come and train!

What's this called?

A win-win!

If I can win twice, isn't that a win-win?

Besides, there are some territories where, after beating them up, a quick calculation reveals that the profits to be gained from them aren't even enough to cover the military expenses, which is a complete loss.

In that case, it's better to engage in sustainable exploitation, slowly draining them dry.

As for their defenses, they're a joke!

"There's something else, do you know about it?"

Wen Ya suddenly lowered his voice and spoke softly.

"Not long ago, the Anbu sensed a great battle within the borders of Kusagakure.

The scope of this battle was very wide, and the damage caused was also very terrible.

Kusagakure is already investigating, and our Anbu have also been dispatched. I'm afraid this matter has also made them somewhat worried."

"Is that so?"

Huangtu frowned. Could it be that the Akatsuki and the people of Konoha have already clashed?

Suddenly, he remembered the unease that had appeared in his heart before.

Could it be that Akatsuki has already lost?

After thinking it over, he realized that he didn't have an answer, and he could only sigh in the end.

"As expected, those external organizations are still unreliable. Let's wait and see."

However, his gaze eventually turned to Kusagakure, and he felt a little displeased in his heart.

The people of Kusagakure seemed to be respectful to them, but in fact, they seemed to be hiding everything from them, and there was even a hint of disgust towards them.

Even though they had already explained that their purpose in coming here had nothing to do with their research and was only to attack Konoha.

But the people of Kusagakure were still the same, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"What's going on? We've already made it clear."

"Could it be that you've really captured some Senju and Uzumaki for research?"

"What a bunch of lunatics."

Huangtu muttered, then simply went with Wen Ya towards the place where their Iwagakure forces were stationed.

Huangtu was actually also full of curiosity about what Kusagakure was researching, but his old man had told him not to mess around.

After thinking it over, he had no choice but to agree helplessly, but according to his idea, Kusagakure probably wouldn't get anything good.

In that case, it's better to just ignore it. Anyway, it's not an important thing for them.

"Speaking of which, Wen Ya, what do you think the people of Konoha will do?"

While walking, Huangtu curiously looked at Wen Ya beside him and asked.

"Also, is the old man overreacting? Even if it's Wood Release and Sharingan, and Flying Thunder God, so what?

They're not Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, nor are they Namikaze Minato, really."

In fact, Huangtu had the same idea as the Fourth Raikage about Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. He didn't know how strong they were without seeing them.

Even if his old man said that everything in the books was true, he still had a rebellious thought in his heart.

For example, was his old man scared silly at the time? After all, the descriptions in the books didn't seem like things that humans could do!

"This, perhaps it's preventing trouble in the future."

Wen Ya could only twitch his lips at Huangtu's complaints about the Third Tsuchikage. After all, he was the Tsuchikage's son, what else could he do?

As for Huangtu's question, he could only give the standard answer.

"These people may be very troublesome if they really grow up, so there's nothing wrong with preparing in advance."

"Tch, what a boring explanation. You're becoming more and more uninteresting."

Huangtu pouted at Wen Ya, but he also knew that his father liked Wen Ya's personality, while his personality was asking for a beating.

Sighing in his heart, Huangtu continued to walk towards the camp boredly, but at this moment, he suddenly froze.

Not only him, but Wen Ya beside him also raised his head in astonishment and looked around.

Because at this moment, the ground began to tremble constantly, and strange chakras were brewing.

This strange situation was noticed by more and more people, and at this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

"Look, what's that?"

Following the sound, countless dense, emerald green shoots were seen breaking out of the ground in the distance.

Kakashi was really feeling a bit of a headache, because he really couldn't do anything.

It takes time to send information back to Konoha and wait for approval, but the trouble is that if those Akatsuki people pass the information out, it will delay the battle.

What if Iwagakure just wants to understand the situation on Shūze's side and has no further plans? Wouldn't their plan fail?

And if they can't catch Huangtu, they have no way to further understand that organization and obtain more information about Obito.

But acting directly without reporting makes him feel a little inappropriate.
