The Shadow of Konoha

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Where is the Village Chief?



In this world, although it cannot be said that ninjas are "over-breeding" like locusts and are everywhere, the overall number of ninjas cannot be said to be small. More importantly, different ninja villages will monitor each other, so if one party wants to make a big move, there is a very high probability that it will be noticed by other ninja villages.

Wild ninjas and wild spies may jump out from every bush at any time.

Therefore, confidentiality is always a difficult thing to ensure, especially when operating a "big item" like the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Release the Nine-Tails in Konoha? Execute the plan?

Firstly, there are so many people and so many eyes. If such a big plan was carried out in Konoha, the whole world would know in just a few days that Konoha had achieved the splitting and multiplication of the Nine-Tails.

Secondly, no one can afford the consequences of the Nine-Tails going berserk. Polishing, waxing, disassembling and reassembling a nuclear bomb in their hometown? Even if one has a steady hand, it will still make people feel scared. So even if there is a guarantee like Mito, the heart of the Third Hokage cannot be that strong.

In short, in order to ensure secrecy, it is crucial to find a closed "operating room" for the Nine-Tail Splitting Plan. And for Hanyu, there is only one such place - the Wet Bone Forest.

The Wet Bone Forest is located in a corner of the world. In such a secret place, there is only one intelligent creature, the slug, and it is surrounded by vast and abundant natural environment. There is no doubt about its concealment.

At the same time, there is no need to worry about the Nine-Tailed Fox causing any damage. What does trampling on a few forests matter?

Yes, even a creature as big as a slug would have difficulty withstanding the continuous attacks of the Tailed Beast Ball, but the problem is that with Mito and the Third Hokage around, how could the Nine-Tails possibly unleash such a big move? We are all experienced ninjas, not just decorations. As long as the Nine-Tails is about to use a big move, we should interrupt it immediately.

Furthermore, if such an action is taken in the Wet Bone Forest, under the premise that the Nine-Tail's combat ability is limited to a considerable extent, the slug can play a great role when necessary. The Wet Bone Forest is the home of the slug, and its huge body is there... In terms of biological size, the Nine-Tail is not at the same level as it.

As long as the Nine-Tailed Fox doesn't use the Tailed Beast Balls randomly, it will be nothing more than a little fox to the slug. Besides blowing bubbles, what else can the Nine-Tailed Fox do? Act cute or be tsundere?

Therefore, the final plan was implemented in the Wet Bone Forest. Although in principle the Third Hokage could not easily leave the village, at this time he could only act according to his convenience.

Although the scale and impact of this matter are extremely large, if the plan goes smoothly, it will not take more than a day.

Three days passed in a flash, and it was time to implement the plan.

To put it in an exaggerated way, the success or failure of this feat "comparable to the Six Paths Sage" depends on this one deal.

In the underground space of the Shadow Stream, Hanyu, Mito, the Third Hokage, and the other eight Uzumaki clan members including the Uzumaki clan leader gathered here. In addition, there is Shiko, who will still be in charge of this space alone later and will be responsible for some follow-up plans.

The Third Hokage was already dressed in combat gear. The most noticeable thing was that there was a huge scroll hanging behind him, and inside the scroll was a drawing of the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

In order to deal with the Nine-Tails, everyone was extremely cautious. Except for Mito who had nothing in his hands and looked calm, the rest of the people, including Hanyu, were extremely serious.

Hanyu carries the huge Samehada on his back, the leader of the Uzumaki clan, and the all-important "Death Mask" hangs around his waist.

"Shiko, after receiving the signal, you will take the seven prisoners as the second batch into the Wet Bone Forest. Although the second half of the plan does not require fighting, it is also very important." Finally, Hanyu gave these instructions to Shiko.

At this time, there was a small slug lying on Hanyu's shoulder, and there was also a small slug lying on Shiko's shoulder.

"I understand, Lord Hanyu, you don't have to worry about things here. " Shiko said.

Hanyu nodded. The barrier defense of the Shadow Stream Base was very tight, and it was impossible for it to be attacked at this time. Then, Hanyu began to draw a large spell on the floor of the room... This was not a complicated sealing technique, but a spell expression of the psychic technique.

After all, the next eleven people will be reversed and sent to the Wet Bone Forest. However, except for Hanyu, the rest are important and respectable people. They can't let the slug swallow them into its body like rotten vegetables, and then spit them out in a sticky state after arriving at the Wet Bone Forest.

If there was only the Third Hokage, then Hanyu wouldn't mind experiencing this kind of contrast, but since there is an elder like Mito around, it would be too inappropriate.

So...even though it was a bit troublesome, Hanyu still obediently set up the ritual on the ground.

Besides, Shiko and the prisoners will also use this technique in the future.

"Mito-sama, Hokage-sama, everyone, we are ready to go." Hanyu quickly finished the ritual and motioned for everyone to stand in the middle.

The others did not hesitate at all, they walked into this "teleportation array", and as the slug's chakra reaction lit up, the group disappeared instantly.

"Mito-sama, Hanyu-sama, clan leader, I wish you all the best..."

After watching everyone disappear, Uzumaki Shiko murmured this, then she quietly left the room, closed the door, stood upright, and guarded here.

Her figure was firm and sad. As someone who was familiar with this plan, she knew that no matter whether the plan could be successfully completed, except for Lady Mito, the other elders of the Uzumaki clan, including the clan leader, would never be able to return to Konoha.

The so-called sacrifice is not only for the parties involved, but also for their closest people.

On this day, a strange thing happened in the Hidden Leaf Village. The Third Hokage disappeared mysteriously. It was obvious that the Hokage could not leave the village, but everyone searched every corner of the village, including the places where the Third Hokage often went. Even the women's bathhouse in the hot spring street was searched carefully, but no trace of the village chief was found.

In response to the sudden disappearance of the Third Hokage, Konoha's Anbu reacted very promptly, and a series of chaotic scenes ensued in Konoha.

On the other side, when everyone's figures disappeared in Konoha, they appeared in the humid jungle of the Wet Bone Forest.

I don't know if this is everyone's first time being reversed, but at least no one behaved as badly as Hanyu did when he first experienced this kind of thing…

"Mito-sama..."

Except for Hanyu, theoretically this was the first time for everyone else to come to the Wet Bone Forest, but after arriving here, Mito was a little dazed, and her expression seemed to be reminiscing.

After hearing Hanyu's voice, Mito finally came back to her senses. She smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just feel like it's been a long time."

For her, everything was indeed a long time coming.
