Danzo and Genno

In Konoha Village.

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, a lot of buildings in the village were damaged. As a result, just as the reconstruction work started, another ninja war broke out.

Konoha is now in danger, and there is no energy and thought to rebuild, so most of the projects have been stopped.

However, some particularly important buildings still need to be repaired or rebuilt, such as Konoha Hospital, Ninja School, Hokage Building and other places.

There is also Hokage Rock, a look to the Hokage.

Behind the Hokage Building, hundreds of carpenters and workers were standing on scaffolding, busy repairing the Hokage Rock.

Below the statue of the Third Generation.

clang clang clang.

A crisp knocking sound sounded. An ordinary-looking old man wearing a green turban and round-rimmed glasses was holding a hammer and chisel to repair a crack on the Sandaime statue.

His name is Genno, and he is an elderly carpenter. He came to Konoha from the Kingdom of Wind many years ago to work.

Genno's craftsmanship is so-so, he has little status in the construction team, and his sense of presence is thin. But he is friendly, always smiling, and quite popular.

After a busy day, it was already evening in the blink of an eye, and the sun was about to set.

"We're done, Genno. Do you want to go drinking together?"

Two workers were under the scaffolding and shouted at Genno.

Hearing this, Genno wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile:

"No, I have something to do tonight."

Watching the workers leave after get off work.

The smile on Genno's face suddenly disappeared, and a cold light flashed in his pair of cloudy eyes.

He put down the hammer and chisel in his hand, took out a detonating charm from his arms, and put it into the crack of the Sandaime statue.

Uh-huh.

As Genno formed a seal, the detonating talisman sank into the mountain wall and was hidden inside.

"This way, it's almost completed." Genno murmured to himself.

The sun sets, the moon rises, and night falls.

Late at night.

A figure quietly approached the Hokage Rock under the cover of night.

It's Genno.

He came alone to the interior of Hokage Rock, which was hollowed out during construction, forming a huge cave.

As Genno walked, he took out the detonating talisman from his sleeve and accurately placed it on the place he had calculated.

When all the detonating symbols are gone into the wall.

"Finally it's done."

His eyes were intense and he could not hide his excitement.

at this time.

"who?!"

He suddenly gave a sharp shout, turned around suddenly, and stared straight ahead.

Tap tap tap.

Danzo walked out of the darkness on crutches, stared at Genno with one eye, and said hello to the latter:

"As expected of a machine master who is good at explosion, he actually thought of blowing up the Hokage Rock."

Genno's expression changed and he quickly explained:

"I don't know what you are talking about. I am just an ordinary craftsman, and I'm only worried about the maintenance of the Hokage Rock, so I came to check it."

But this explanation seems a bit loose.

When Danzo heard this, he did not expose the other party, but said slowly:

"Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Mountains, there was a village called Kagero Village.

During the Second Ninja War more than twenty years ago, a war broke out between Konoha and Kagero Village.

At that time, while the main force of Kagero Village was out, Konoha launched a surprise attack on it, burning down the fire and causing heavy casualties to Kagero Village. "

Having said this, Danzo paused for a moment to observe Genno's reaction.

As expected, Genno was shocked and his eyes widened, but under Danzo's scrutiny, he still pretended not to know:

"What does what you said have to do with me?"

Danzo ignored it, stared at Genno expressionlessly, and continued:

"After that battle, Kagero Village and Konoha signed an armistice agreement, but this was actually just a delaying measure.

They sent you, a Jonin, to sneak into Konoha and act as a carpenter.

You successfully bypassed the Anbu's sight. It only took two and a half months to cover the entire village with explosion talisman. Just waiting for them to detonate, you can cooperate with the troops of Kagero Village to counterattack Konoha.

However, during this period, the village chief of Kagero Village's war faction died unexpectedly. His successor was a peace partisan who re-established peace with Konoha, and your mission became invalid. "

When Danzo said this, cold sweat dripped down Genno's face, as if all his secrets had been seen through by the other party.

At last.

Danzo told the reason why Genno stayed in Konoha:

"You originally wanted to end the mission and return to your hometown.

Unexpectedly, just two weeks after the armistice with Konoha, Kagero Village was attacked by other ninja villages.

It seems that Kagero Village was severely damaged due to the battle with Konoha, so it was taken advantage of, leading to its demise.

What do you think? "

Genno was silent for a long time, and finally, he slowly showed a smile.

He finally stopped pretending and said sarcastically to Danzo:

"The fate of Kagero Village is the same as that of Konoha now, isn't it?"

At the moment, Konoha is also suffering from a civil strife. The major ninja villages have seen its weakness, so they have gathered together to attack it.

The way of heaven is for reincarnation.

Danzo shook his head and did not answer Genno's question, but continued to ask the latter:

"Your son died when Konoha attacked Kagero Village. So, you did all this to take revenge on Konoha, right?"

When Genno heard this, his eyes flickered and he suddenly became excited:

"Yes, I have been lurking in Konoha for twenty years just to avenge my son, but I have never been able to find a chance.

I didn't expect that Konoha would turn itself into this.

Now it seems that Konoha may not be able to pass this situation, and it seems that there is no need for me to take action. "

Even so.

He still formed a seal secretly, preparing to detonate the detonating talisman arranged on the spot.

The back mountain of Konoha is made of very solid rocks, but these rocks are covered with extremely small cracks. As long as the cracks are used to apply pressure, they can be easily shattered.

Hokage Rock was carved using this point.

Half a month ago, after Genno infiltrated the construction team repairing the Hokage Rock, he kept looking for flaws in the rock and placed detonating symbols in various locations.

At this time.

As long as he initiates the detonation, the entire mountain behind Konoha will slide and collapse. At that time, the entire Konoha will be buried in the rubble and destroyed.

Especially now that it is midnight, all the villagers in Konoha are asleep. Faced with a sudden landslide, very few people will be able to escape.

However.

Just when Genno was about to take action, a figure appeared silently behind him. A sword flashed in the darkness, and Genno's screams were heard.

His hands were cut off.

Immediately, Genno's heart was penetrated by a ninja sword from behind. His pupils lost focus and his eyes gradually became blurry.

"Lord Danzo."

As a cold voice sounded, a masked ninja like a dark shadow walked out from behind Genno and knelt down on one knee towards Danzo.

He is Danzo's last subordinate, codenamed "Shadow".

Plop.

Genno fell to the ground, showed a sad smile, and murmured to himself:

"It's not bad that my long ninja career ends here. It's just a pity that I can't witness the end of Konoha with my own eyes. It's a pity..."

Then he closed his eyes and lost his breath.
