Chapter 11 Plan
Sand Stronghold.
Inside the main camp,
"Water Style of a level that probably only Sarutobi-Sensei can perform was performed by an 11 something kid who just graduated, now that's hard to swallow"
Commented Jiraiya with a shocked face, Orochimaru just told them about the kid who saved Nawaki but his strength and abilities described by Orochimaru were hard to believe.
The rest in the camp had similar thoughts as Jiraiya, to practice water style to that extreme level it should be impossible at the academy.
Hearing their words, Orochimaru didn't show any surprised look just a wide grin on his face.
"I know it's hard to believe but it's the truth. That kid is a true monster and I have a feeling… if any of us were to fight him it certainly won't be easy!" Said Orochimaru big words with no hesitation.
"You are not someone who exaggerates Orochimaru-San, I'm now looking forward to meet him"
"I'll personally thank him!"
Spoke Dan lightly, but in his tone clearly anticipation to meet Kazuki, Tsunade also showing interest in meeting her brother's savior.
"That can be left for some other time as for now we have more important things to look at"
Orochimaru's face suddenly turned serious as he put the wishes of Tsunade and other two to meet Kazuki to side.
"Call the jonin meeting Tsunade! Rain Shinobi destroying the tanzaku bridge implies what, I think you can guess!"
"You're right!" Nodded Tsunade putting the matter of kazuki aside as well, it was most likely that the pressure at the sand battlefield would be increased a lot in the next battle, till now things were evenly matched but it can change now.
Immediately on Tsunade's order a meeting was called, Nawaki was transferred to the medical camp for rest and in the main camp all the jonin gathering.

Konoha.
In the Hokage office stood Danzo donning a black shinobi gear, but his forehead and right eye still covered with bandages.
Sarutobi was also present at the scene donning the white hokage haori, Homura and Koharu present as well.
"So what's your plan Danzo!?"
Asked Sarutobi while exhaling out the smoke, his hopeful eyes stuck on Danzo standing before him.
"Most weapon manufacturing organizations are located in Kusagakure and the only reason they are able to make weapons without any danger is due to our protection"
"But according to the investigation results of root, before the war a lot of weapons that Amegakure is currently using was acquired from Kusagakure and even now the transactions are made secretly"
"Our allies are providing weapons to our enemy but rather than accounting them I plan to use this betrayal in our favor!" Said Danzo with a cunning look and continued speaking.
"I plan to sneak in Amegakure by replacing the Ame squad responsible for transporting weapons from Kusagakure to Amegakure!"
"First we'll temper with most of the explosive tags to destroy the main warehouse of Amegakure, that will surely hit them hard and put them on the back seat"
"Second staying at Amegakure I'll look for opportunities to assassinate Hanzo. If possible, trying to catch one of his important men and impersonate as him to get close to Hanzo; taking him down suddenly"
Put forward Danzo his plan with a proud face, silence in the room as the rest all showing thoughtful looks.
"I had thought it was Onoki secretly providing Amegakure logistic supplies but guess we were stabbed in the back"
"Anyway, how would you make sure to replace the Ame squad without any flaw? transformation technique would be easily seen through" Asked Sarutobi with a curious face, looking forward to Danzo's response.
"Moreover even if your transformation technique doesn't get seen through, they must have some secret code to prevent such an obvious trick, how would you counter that?" Homura put forward his concerns as well.
"It's simple" Said Danzo with a confident face and gazed out of the window to look at a certain clan's residence.
"I need Uchiha and Yamanaka Shinobi for this operation, using sharingan to put them in illusion and then mind control technique on top, controlling the logistic squad will be easy"
"I never mentioned replacing them physically, using them we'll destroy the main warehouse and for the second plan I'm capable enough to sneak in a village like Amegakure without getting found out, the assassination of Hanzo rests on my solely"
Told Danzo his plan in detail, and moved expressions appeared on the three in the room as they had to agree that this plan, at least the first had high chances of completion.
"Put the second plan on hold for now, focus on executing the first flawlessly"
"If the destruction of the main warehouse forces Amegakure out of war, there is no need to take the risk of killing Hanzo"
"Hmph! You're too soft, Hiruzen!"
Said Sarutobi after being silent for a while with his eyes drooping, Danzo seeing him unwilling to take big risks clearly angry.
"If only you knew, Danzo!"
Had Koharu and Homura similar thoughts, Unlike Danzo both understood why Hiruzen was truly hesitating about the second plan, he didn't want to put his old friend in danger.
