Konoha: Starting from Ninja World S-Class Rebellion

"I stayed there for two months, so I don't know much about it, but it is rumored that the witches there have magical abilities and can predict the future.

"Also, a monster called a monster is sealed in a volcano in a deserted land called the Land of Swamps near there."

"Foretelling the future" Hearing these four words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's expression became a little unsightly.

He has never believed in these things, maybe he once believed in them, but his apprentice Zirai was also influenced by the so-called prophecy, and he started to travel around the ninja world all day long.

He's sick of prophecy.

"Monsters and ghosts? Could this be related to the actual purpose of Zhong Zun driving us to the kingdom of ghosts?" Zhuanzhu Xiaochun had doubts.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not ignore this legend, "Do you have a more detailed understanding of this?"

Mito Menyan was a little ashamed, "Yes, but just listen to the story."

The so-called sprites are said to be monsters that nearly destroyed the world.

That monster possesses the ability to resurrect the dead, in order to control the undead army to endanger the world.

But in the end, it was sealed by the priestess of the ghost country, and in order to prevent the ghosts from reappearing in the world, the priestess lived there with her followers.

From generation to generation, the kingdom of ghosts has been formed.

After Mito Menyan told the legend he had heard, everyone in the office looked weird.

Mitomon Yan had expected this, he pushed his glasses.

"Except for the land of ghosts, there are no legends about sprites in the ninja world, in other words, it was the Sengoku period at the latest.

"Then, it's not a ninja who seals the sprites, but a witch, which makes people feel very strange.

"If it is said that sprites appeared before the thousand-year-old ninjas, then it is unreasonable that such a weak country as the Kingdom of Demons can survive for so long."

As Mito Menyan said, the legend of the ghost country can be heard as a story.

There are too many unexplainable places in it.

Unless there is a theory of parallel worlds in this world, and multiple parallel worlds overlap, it is possible to make the legend of the ghost country become a reality.

Chapter 370 IX The Danger of Being Ignored

"The kingdom of ghosts has no mystery. If it is extraordinary, it is impossible to remain unknown for decades after the war."

Hiru Sarutobi came to a conclusion.

Danzo, who has always been suspicious and full of conspiracy theories, also agrees with Sarutobi Hiruzen's judgment.

But there is another unexplainable point here.

"Is it possible that Shigetaru really just wants us to get a treasure?" A question mark appeared in Danzo's one-eyed.

This is impossible, Zhong Zun is just acting crazy and has no scruples, at most he can only say that he is irrational, and he is not really crazy.

The conditions put forward by Shigetaru should have a deeper meaning.

At the very least, what these conditions can bring should far exceed what Chong Zun paid in Konoha Nao.

Then there was a knock on the door.

After Hiruzaru Sarutobi answered, an Anbu opened the door and walked in.

He is one of Anbu who guards Hokage's office.

Due to their positions, they can also hear the conversations of Konoha's senior management.

However, the quality of being Anbu made them strictly abide by the confidentiality agreement, even if they heard it, they would act as if they hadn't heard it.

But this time, he thought it necessary for him to intervene in the topic.

"Report to Hokage-sama and your advisors, I have heard of the gem 'Blood Dragon's Eye'."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi squeezed the pipe on his mouth, blinked his eyes a few times quickly, and recalled the experience of this Anbe.

"Tell me in detail."

"Yes."

Anbu explained in detail what he knew about this gem and the sources of information.

The reason why he knew this gem was that before joining Anbu, he had performed a mission to escort the merchants of the ghost country.

I learned that someone unearthed a magical gem in a crater in the country of marsh.

The gem appears as a blood-colored eye, and over time grows a crystalline red substance around it.

Later, the gem was bought by a nobleman who heard the rumor.

But the ghost country businessman thought that since this gem was found in the marsh country volcano related to the ghost country legend.

Thinking that this might be a treasure related to the history of the ghost country, he wanted to find the nobleman to buy it back.

This is why Anbu received the escort mission.

Anbu accurately described the appearance of the blood dragon's eye, which is the real eye that the white snake was looking for, just as described by the toads in Mt. Miaomu.

Apparently it's no coincidence to know a common gemstone that happens to be given the same name as the Eye of Reality.

After listening, Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, "Before you became Anbu, that was ten years ago."

"Yes, to be precise, it was the winter 13 years ago. That mission gave me an indescribably weird feeling, so I was very impressed." Anbu responded.

"13 years ago" Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't have any special impression of this time.

"Why do you think it's weird?" Danzo stared at Anbu, rubbing his palm against the handle of the wooden stick from time to time.

Anbu murmured for a while, speechless and didn't know what to say.

He's said it all, it's a strange feeling that can't be explained, so what should he say?

After a few seconds of silence, he reluctantly guessed:

"Maybe it's because that mission gave me a strange sense of fluency?"

"Sense of fluency?" Danzo wondered.

"Yes." Anbu's tone was very hesitant, but the more he thought about it, the clearer the memory in his mind.

The feeling at that time surfaced a little bit.

Even now, in the safety of Hokage's office, this feeling still makes his hair stand on end.

"Whether it's on the road, negotiating with that nobleman, or going to the country of earth to show off the newly bought gemstones with the head of the chamber of commerce there.

"There is a strange sense of proficiency, as if such a scene has been staged dozens or hundreds of times."

Danzo:

He almost couldn't help scolding Anbu.

He and other high-ranking Konoha, who had never experienced this weird feeling, could not understand the feeling described by Anbu at all.

Businessmen are used to traveling, negotiating, and showing off to their colleagues. What is so strange about this?

"Thank you for the information you provided." Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled and nodded.

Anbu saw that Hokage didn't take his uneasiness and suspicion seriously, but he had no right to interfere, not to mention that even he himself wasn't sure, so he could only salute and leave the office.

Zhuanzhu Xiaochun suggested:

"Since the kingdom of ghosts is located in the northwest and needs to pass through the kingdom of rain, why not send Kakashi there?"

Mitomon Yan agreed: "With Kakashi's strength, it should be foolproof."

"It's better to arrange a few teammates." Hiruzaru Sarutobi tapped his fingers on the table.

Although he doesn't think the Ghost Country is a threat, Anbu's previous reminder also has some suspicions that he is scaring himself.

But as a ninja, caution is an essential trait, and Konoha doesn't agree with acting alone.

The Flying Thunder Team and Yexi with Kakashi have their own responsibilities.

Yexi is Konoha's strongest combat power, and at the same time is protecting Naruto from Shigetaru or Yuyin.

The Flying Thunder Team is Naruto's last line of defense.

Only Kakashi was sent there because he was familiar with the Feithor team and had traveled with Ye Xi many times, and he was sent there in consideration of the harmony of the team.

If Konoha Fang does not arrange teammates for Kakashi in this mission, then Kakashi can only act alone.

But even for a Jnin like Kakashi, there are risks in walking alone.

Eat and sleep to deal with physiological needs, people will always relax their vigilance.

Seeing that Hiruzaru Sarutobi insisted on being led by the nose by Shigetaru, and the kingdom of ghosts was indeed not a big threat, Danzo had no choice but to compromise and proposed:

"In that case, send Matkai and a Hinata ninja."

Together, Maitekai and Kakashi are enough to handle most unexpected situations.

And dispatching Hyuga Ninja is convenient for finding people and items.

"Who should Hinata send in this chaos?" Mito Menyan asked with a frown.

Danzo snorted coldly, and said with a smirk: "Isn't it a suitable choice to send Hinata Hinata?"

As the top fighting force of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Nizashi has rich experience in both resisting risks and walking in the ninja world.

"But isn't the day's difference already?" Turning to bed, Xiaochun wondered why Danzo proposed this.

"It's alright, Danzo, there's no need to make things difficult for the Hinata clan." Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed.

Danzo has been unhappy with the Hyuga clan for a long time.

Although Danzo, who uses the seal of tongue disaster to eradicate his subordinates to control his subordinates, and the clan that uses caged birds to threaten to divide the family belong to the eldest brother, don't laugh at the second brother.

But it's a question of power.

What Danzo is dissatisfied with is that the small sect that does not belong to the high-level Konoha, where does the power and courage come from, dare to judge Konoha Ninja?

"Hmph, stubborn old thing." Danzo left the office step by step with a wooden crutch.

Since Hiruzaru Sarutobi was not willing to listen to his opinion, why should he stay in the office.

He didn't have time to stand there as a spectator.

Through the underground secret passage behind the Hokage Building, Danzo returned to his shelter.
