Chapter 277
He will definitely be able to master the secret of immortality.
Hashirama Senju's cells are the key to open the door to immortality.
Orochimaru wants to become Hokage, which means Danzo has another potential enemy.
But Danzo will not attack Orochimaru.
On the contrary, he will take the initiative to help Orochimaru clear the target, and finally let Orochimaru sit in the position of the fourth Hokage.
Because Orochimaru, like him, is a person walking in the dark, they are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can get rid of anyone.
As long as Orochimaru wants to sit in the position of Hokage safely, he will definitely need his help.
At that time, Danzo will be able to get some benefits of his own, so that he can take root step by step and start to lay out.
When the time is right, he will take down Orochimaru in one pot.
It is easy to take down Orochimaru, after all, Orochimaru himself is not clean.
As long as the personnel they are doing are exposed, whether Orochimaru is Hokage or not, Konoha will have no place for him.
On the contrary, it was Hatake Sakumo who went up, posing the greatest threat to him.
Therefore, it was imperative to discredit Hatake Sakumo.
Regardless of whether Orochimaru participated or not, Danzo had to do it.
Two days later, Konoha's vanguard, led by Orochimaru and Jiraiya, left Konoha.
Go to the coastline border of the Whirlpool Country to station, where Konoha will set up a defense line.
If the Mist Village really dares to go to war with Konoha, then this will become the main battlefield.
The war cannot spread to the Land of Fire. The former Whirlpool Country and the surrounding islands, as well as the sea, are the best battlefields.
Konoha's response was very sharp, refusing to hand over Hatake Sakumo, and even sending more people to guard the border.
It was obviously to prevent the Mist Village from jumping off the wall and playing a sneak attack.
During the Second Ninja War, the losses caused by the Sand Village's sneak attack have not yet recovered, and Konoha will not allow this to happen again.
For a time, the attention of the ninja world was attracted to the direction of the Whirlpool Country.
Konoha reacted quickly, but Mist Village was not slow either.
When Konoha's frontline troops arrived at the Land of Whirlpools, a shocking piece of news came out.
The top leaders of Mist Village, led by the Third Mizukage, directly declared war on Konoha.
Underground space.
Black Zetsu penetrated the wall and sneaked in:
"Lord Madara, it seems that Afei has gone too far. He has declared war on Konoha."
"Oh?"
Uchiha Madara slowly woke up from his deep sleep, his tone a little surprised.
It seems that he didn't expect Afei to be so bold.
He said to make use of waste, but Afei used it directly to this extent.
"Starting from this, it may trigger other wars, weaken the strength of the major ninja villages, and help my plan."
"Just let him play."
Uchiha Madara didn't care whether Mist Village declared war on Konoha.
As long as his plan could be implemented smoothly, nothing else mattered.
Besides, it would also be good for them if the strength of the five major ninja villages was weakened.
After saying that, Uchiha Madara closed his eyes.
Black Zetsu was thinking: Should I add fuel to the fire and drag other villages in?
In the current ninja world, the Mist Village and Konoha are mobilizing troops, while the Sand Village, Rock Village, and Cloud Village are sitting on the fishing platform watching the show.
They are watching the show and waiting for opportunities.
The Rock Village and the Cloud Village have been coveting the rich land of the Land of Fire for a long time, but they have not caught the right opportunity to end it, and now the opportunity is in front of them.
As for the Sand Village...
They may be the first to jump out.
Because the Sand Village has had enough of war reparations.
In just a few years, the Sand Village cannot pay so much money.
The Third Kazekage tightened his belt and looked for precious mines everywhere to pay off his debts, but the days of the Sand Village became more and more difficult.
The Mist Village went to war with Konoha, which gave the Third Kazekage an opportunity.
As long as the war breaks out, the so-called war reparations will no longer exist.
The Sand Village no longer has to pay a large sum of money to Konoha.
If they can divide up some of the rich land of the Land of Fire, it will be a huge profit for the Sand Village.
The Third Kazekage was very tempted, but fortunately he did not act rashly.
He knew that the Sand Village was no match for Konoha, so he needed to wait for an opportunity.
When Konoha enters a period of weakness, they will attack directly.
The Third Kazekage is waiting, and Ohnoki and the Third Raikage are also waiting.
If Konoha can quickly defeat the Mist Village and its own strength is not greatly affected, they will stay put.
If Konoha falls into a quagmire, that is when they will add insult to injury.
The war came very suddenly. Even if Konoha had some preparations, the sudden war still made the villagers of Konoha feel a little confused.
The first reaction of most people is: Is there going to be a war again?
It has only been three years since the Second Ninja War, and the shadow of the war has not completely dissipated, and a new war has swept the village.
This is not good news for countless villagers.
"Why do we have to fight again? Alas, the war has only ended for two or three years, and it's coming again."
"Who said it wasn't? Many caravans have left and gone to other places."
"I went to buy vegetables in the morning and found that the prices of various things have risen a lot."
The war has little impact on the ninjas who stayed in the village. After all, ninjas are high-risk professions and also high-income groups.
But ordinary residents are different. When war comes, their lives will be greatly affected.
People are discussing war everywhere in Konoha.
The business of the hot pot restaurant has also been affected. Compared with usual, the business is much calmer.
With the advent of war, Konoha also rushed to send more people to the front line to prevent the Mist Village from attacking on a large scale.
At this time, Konoha faced a problem, that is, the warships of the Fire Country were not enough.
And the warships were several levels lower than those of the Mist Village.
Tsunade was also very troubled. Konoha was far away from the sea and did not build many usable warships.
It was fine at ordinary times, but trouble came during the war.
The Third Hokage and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire wanted to keep the war away from the Land of Fire. Even if a war broke out, the flames of war could not spread to the territory of the Land of Fire.
Then the question came, how should this war be fought?
Tsunade and the Third Hokage had another argument over the layout of the battlefield.
"The Daimyo meant that the battlefield could not be placed on the territory of the Land of Fire.
In the Second Ninja War, the invasion of the Sand Village brought great impact and losses to the Land of Fire. The Daimyo was worried that the same thing would happen again."
The Third Hokage, who was sitting in the position of Hokage, was very troubled.
The Mist Village had just declared war, and the large army of Konoha had not yet arrived at the front line, and the Daimyo hurriedly sent people over.
He asked the Third Hokage to place the battlefield outside the Land of Fire and prevent the flames of war from spreading to the Land of Fire.
Isn't this embarrassing?
"Then let him try."
Danzo has long been unhappy with the Daimyo. If it weren't for this old man, Hatake Sakumo might have a half-sleeve of Hokage?
If the war is not allowed to spread to the territory of the Land of Fire, then how should this war be fought?
Does the Land of Fire have enough warships for Konoha to use?
If not, then shut up and stop whining.
The Third Hokage was speechless. He knew that Danzo and the Daimyo didn't get along, but he didn't expect Danzo to say such irresponsible words.
If the Daimyo can go, what is the point of Konoha?
"This is unrealistic."
Tsunade looked at the map and shook her head repeatedly.
