Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 370: The Sage of Six Paths' Lost Treasure

Fortunately, the Root ninjas all had the Tongue-Cursing Seal and would not leak intelligence. Danzō believed he had not yet been exposed and could carry out a second operation.

The enemy was strong and very vigilant. What to do?

Danzō himself couldn't act. The strengths of Fū Yamanaka, Torune Aburame, and Sai were all a notch below.

Forcefully control Ino, then let Ino fight Koji Kashin to the death, while he picks up the pieces from behind?

This was something he could only think about in his heart. Once he put it into practice, the ninjas in Root belonging to the Yamanaka family would immediately rebel. The Tongue-Cursing Seal was not brainwashing. For the ninjas of the current world, family interests were greater than village interests. Danzō's power came from the village; it was impossible for a family ninja to betray their family for the village.

If he dared to do so, his right-hand man like Fū Yamanaka would stand on his opposite side and might even pull his good buddy Torune Aburame over. At that time, Danzō would be deserted by all.

Besides, Ino was not the same as Shisui, whose combat power was greatly reduced after his eyes were gouged out. The life force of Wood Release was extremely strong. Now, without Kotoamatsukami, even if he wanted to launch a sneak attack, he didn't know how to do it.

Ino is not an option.

What about Sasuke? Sasuke had Itachi behind him. Once Danzō made a move on Sasuke, Itachi would take Danzō with him with his last breath. This path was also blocked.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? Also not an option.

If Danzō dared to make a move on Naruto, Jiraiya would immediately lead the ANBU to justifiably besiege him.

Casually pinning some blame on him, under the great righteousness of the Hokage, he would have very little room for resistance.

For this reason, Danzō could only think of other ways.

The major hidden villages were not without countermeasures against such Kage-level masters. Everyone had a few ultimate moves up their sleeves.

Danzō considered various means, but many were not suitable.

Fū Yamanaka and Torune Aburame each provided him with two methods. He was naturally suspicious and only believed in his own judgment, so he adopted none of them.

He was a seventy-year-old man, and his thinking speed was far inferior to that of young people. He needed to think carefully.

The thing Danzō loved to do most in his life was to write a diary. Even if he did nothing all day and just sat in a chair, he would specially record it.

He wrote every day, so his diaries were consumed relatively quickly.

One day, like an ordinary old man, he went to the bookstore with a cane to buy a notebook.

Unexpectedly, he found a few copies of The Tale of the Westward Journey of Ninshū on the bookshelf.

This book had always been around. It told the story of the legendary Sage of Six Paths leading his disciples to the west to spread the ideas of Ninshū.

Later generations made it more and more outrageous. As early as two hundred years ago, this book had become a favorite storybook for children.

Danzō asked the bookstore owner, "Why are these books on the shelves?"

The bookstore owner only knew that he was a big shot in the village. How big? He really wasn't clear. At this time, he answered very humbly, "This book has been selling very well recently. Many children like to read it."

He carefully observed Danzō's expression. "Does the ninja lord find it inappropriate?"

Danzō didn't speak. He felt a thought flash through his mind, but he didn't grasp it. He stood there for a while and found that there were indeed children from the village coming to buy books. When a child asked "how many girlfriends did the Sage of Six Paths have," he only shook his head, paid for his notebook, and turned to leave.

It wasn't until he returned to Root that he grasped that previous inspiration.

That's right! I can't act rashly myself. I can't beat that "illegitimate son," and I can't find a master of this level to help. I can use props! Can't the treasured tools of the Sage of Six Paths deal with an "illegitimate son"?!

His teacher, the Second Hokage, had died at the hands of the Gold and Silver Brothers, who held the treasured tools of the Sage of Six Paths. He had studied these tools for a long time. The Kōkinjō, Shichiseiken, Benihisago, and Bashōsen had all gone to the Pure Land with the Gold and Silver Brothers as soul-sealing objects after their deaths. But the last treasured tool, and also the most powerful one, the Kohaku no Jōhei, was left behind. Now, this thing was in the Cloud Village.

That was a treasured tool that could suck in and completely seal a target once they responded to its wielder.

Even the Eight-Tails could be tightly sealed. Wouldn't an "illegitimate son" be a piece of cake?

Snatch this pot, then seal the "illegitimate son" to hold Jiraiya hostage, and finally intimidate the entire ninja world!

Danzō thought through the entire plan and felt it was perfect.

With his explosive action power, he immediately activated his connections, facilitated certain events, and then, under the cover of these events, went to the Cloud Village to forcibly snatch the treasured tool of the Sage of Six Paths.

The Cloud Village was just a bunch of battle-crazed lunatics. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't want to provoke these guys. Those lunatics simply didn't understand what "the bigger picture" meant, didn't understand what "enduring for the sake of the country" meant. In his eyes, the people of the Cloud Village had no ninja spirit.

But now was not a normal time. Konoha's high-level leadership had already determined that the future enemies were the Cloud Village and the Stone Village. Danzō felt that his action this time could also be considered weakening the Cloud Village in advance. He did it with such righteousness.

The next evening, Sai quietly came to the Cloud Village and secretly met with several ninja families of the Cloud Village.

The Land of Lightning, Cloud Village.

The Fourth Raikage was reading a report.

Beside him was Darui, the Jounin praised by the Third Raikage and who had the marks of "Thunder" and "Water" on his left and right shoulders respectively. It should be known that the Fourth Raikage, as the Third Raikage's own son, didn't have these two words on his arms.

Darui seemed lazy in personality, but was actually meticulous in thought, rough on the outside but fine on the inside, and had a great sense of the bigger picture. He was called the "second right hand" by the Fourth Raikage.

On the Fourth Raikage's right was the lazy Darui, and on his left was C, the Jounin advisor who combined the three rare abilities of genjutsu, healing, and sensing.

These two were the Fourth Raikage's left and right hands, assisting him in managing the Cloud Village.

The Fourth Raikage looked rough and boorish, but in reality, he could quickly analyze the many pieces of intelligence of Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique in battle. This person's intelligence was not low at all; it was just that he was impatient and often lazy to think.

The Great Ninja War was imminent. The Stone Village was sharpening its swords and constantly sending reinforcements to the border. What was the Third Tsuchikage waiting for? He was waiting for the impatient Fourth Raikage to make the first move. If he moved, and Konoha's main force went to fight the Cloud ninjas, the Stone Village could pick up the pieces from behind.

This was what the Third Tsuchikage thought, and it was also what he did. The Fourth Raikage knew his thoughts, but due to his personality, he was really a bit unable to hold back now.

C and Darui had been persuading him to wait a little longer, that the time was not right now.

"Look at this! These obstructive guys, do they have a brain at all! To want to marry into Konoha at this time, isn't this a joke?" The Fourth Raikage shouted with a hoarse voice, slamming the document in his hand on the table.
