The culprit of the Third Ninja World War!

"I see."

  After hearing Shuichi Hoshita's question, Scorpion of the Red Sand said with both sarcasm and sigh: "It seems that every village has such dirty things!"

  "However, no one from Konoha leaked the information to me."

  "But the mission of Konoha White Fang happened to be the mission I was carrying out."

  Shuichi Hoshita heard it and asked: "The mission you are carrying out, the mission to eliminate those who want to cut the funding for Sand Village?"

  Scorpion of the Red Sand smiled and said, "It seems that you heard it, you are right."

  "The purpose of Konoha Village is obvious, which is to weaken the power of Sand Village by cutting the funding for Sand Village."

  "Hehe, it seems that your action this time did not obtain the consent of Konoha's top management."

  "I have to say, you are as brave as I am."

  Xingxia Xiu disagreed at all: "I am not as brave as you to assassinate the Kazekage."

  However, the Red Sand Scorpion said as a matter of course: "Because of his wrong decision, my parents died at the hands of Konoha White Fang. Killing him is a matter of course."

  After that, the Red Sand Scorpion naturally returned to the previous topic and said: "Konoha White Fang's strength is indeed very powerful. After I noticed him, I immediately decided to join forces with the Kazekage, because it is impossible for me to take him down with my strength."

  "He is Konoha White Fang after all!"

  The Red Sand Scorpion's voice was a little low, but he quickly returned to normal, and smiled: "Besides, it happens that I can use the killing of Konoha White Fang to further understand the Third Kazekage, and even gain his trust a little bit, so that he can relax a little more on his guard against me."

  "And in fact, my decision is completely correct."

  "He is as fast as you, and my puppet can't restrict him at all."

  "But fortunately, we have the Kazekage. Although Konoha White Fang's Lightning Release can also affect the Kazekage's Magnetic Release, there are two of us and this is the Land of Wind."

  "After making preparations in advance, we limited Konoha White Fang's speed, so he couldn't escape."

  "It must be said that Konoha White Fang's strength is indeed amazing. Even the Third Kazekage was embarrassed and almost let him escape." As

  he said this, the Red Sand Scorpion's smile became brighter: "And after this battle, I am more convinced that I can kill the Third Kazekage."

  "So I took Konoha White Fang's body away and made him into a puppet."

  "Sure enough, he became a weapon against the Third Kazekage." "

  If you hadn't appeared, I should have solved the Third Kazekage by now, and then I would have made him into a work of art and made it my most precious collection!"

  At the end, the Red Sand Scorpion was full of regret.

  But the regret that Hoshita Shuichi heard was not because he failed to kill the Third Kazekage for revenge, but because he could not make the Third Kazekage into a precious puppet.

  Sure enough, he is not a normal person!

  After all the doubts were gone, Shuichi Hoshita looked at Scorpion and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

  Scorpion looked dazed, thinking of his father and mother. If he went to the Pure Land, he should be able to reunite with them, right? He

  shouldn't have to wait any longer, right?

  Thinking of this, Scorpion smiled and closed his eyes, "Let's do it!" Shuichi

  Hoshita immediately launched a ninjutsu.

  Nirvana Jingshe Jutsu!

  Scorpion cooperated so well, Shuichi Hoshita didn't mind letting him go peacefully.

  After hypnotizing Scorpion, Shuichi Hoshita stepped forward and broke his neck with a snap, and he died without any pain.

  Sushoku Jutsu!

  Scorpion's body was set on fire, and then quickly burned into a pile of ashes.

  Yellow Spring Swamp!

  A small swamp appeared at the location of the ashes, rotating and engulfing Scorpion's ashes.

  Destroy the corpse and destroy the traces!

  Shuichi Hoshita had thought about bringing the living Scorpion back to Konoha to develop the puppet technology in his mind.

  However, there are many risks for him to bring the Red Sand Scorpion back to Konoha, and the puppet technology is not worth it.

  And the body of the Third Kazekage...

  Shuichi Hoshita fell into deep thought.

  His previous idea was to bring the body of the Third Kazekage back to Konoha to study magnetic escape.

  Anyway, he wants to build his own experimental base and is not afraid of leaks.

  A general teacher like the Third Kazekage is too rare, and it would be a waste if not used.

  "Although it is more convenient to obtain magnetic escape from the One-Tail's chakra, the body of the Third Kazekage can be used to study the bloodline limit itself."

  "The value of the Third Kazekage's body is much greater than that of the Red Sand Scorpion, so it's better to keep it."

  "There should be many people in Konoha who can guess that I did it, but as long as I don't admit it, it's fine."

  After making a decision, Shuichi Hoshita turned and walked out of the woodshed, and then found that Asuka had reheated the food, and couldn't help laughing.

  Asuka smiled and said, "I've been busy all night, I'm a little hungry!"

  Hoshita Shuichi sat down and smiled, "Then let's eat and rest, and then set off to return to the Land of Fire tomorrow."

  The Wind Shadow disappeared, and it was related to the Four-Tails Jinchūriki of the Hidden Rock Village. I'm afraid that the ninja world will be in chaos.

  Who knows if the Third Shinobi World War will break out!

  "The culprit of the Third Shinobi World War?"

  Hoshita Shuichi muttered secretly.

  ...

  The next day, Hoshita Shuichi took Asuka away from the River Country and returned to the Land of Fire, but did not go directly back to Konoha, but turned to the daimyo's mansion.

  He wanted to go to the daimyo to attract investment!

  At the same time, after a night of brewing, the movement in the Sand Village became more and more intense.

  A large number of Sand Ninjas began to search for the traces of the Wind Shadow in the Wind Country, and continued to expand the search range outward to find the traces of the rebel ninja Red Sand Scorpion.

  At the same time, the Sand Village activated all the spies lurking in the Land of Earth and the Sand Village to track down the situation of the Four-Tails Jinchūriki.

  That night, Shuichi Hoshita was secretly received by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

  After a friendly conversation, Shuichi Hoshita presented a slightly different plan to the Daimyo, which was shown to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

  It did not mention the Four-Tails or the Eight-Tails, but only the Tailed Beast Weapons.

  The Daimyo read it carefully, and then was very excited and asked, "Shuichi, how confident are you of this experiment?"

  Hoshita Hideichi smiled confidently and said, "You should know the character of the Third Hokage. He would not conduct such an experiment without absolute certainty."

  "Danzo has actually succeeded."

  "What?"

  The daimyo was surprised, and then keenly caught a key point: "It seems that the Hokage and Danzo are not in harmony!"

  Hoshita Hideichi smiled and said, "Danzo is very ambitious, and he is a war faction."

  The daimyo understood and said immediately, "In this case, let's implement this plan!"

  Hoshita Hideichi immediately said, "I won't let you down!"

  The next day, after leaving the Flying Thunder God mark at the daimyo's mansion, Hoshita Hideichi took Asuka back to Konoha, and he also brought the 100 million taels of initial funds given by the daimyo.

  As expected of the daimyo, he is generous!

  ...

  Konoha Village, Hokage Building, Danzo entered the Hokage's office.

  After meeting Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo got straight to the point: "Hiruzen, the Third Kazekage was killed by Hoshita Shuichi, right?"

  Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette and said slowly: "No Shuichi, Shuichi went to the daimyo's mansion on my orders."

  "Besides, it is still uncertain whether the Third Kazekage is missing or even dead."

  "The Sand Village is just tracking the traitorous ninja Red Sand Scorpion and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village who colluded with the Red Sand Scorpion." "

  You also know that the Red Sand Scorpion slaughtered many small countries in the Wind Country before, and Sakumo died in battle because of this." The Wind Country has a

  large land area, but it is a desert country, or an oasis country.

  Therefore, except for the rich land by the sea in the south, most of the oases in the country can be said to be countries within countries, ruled by lords of all sizes, and respect the name of the Wind Country. Although they are not called daimyo, there is actually no difference, just that the area they rule is a little smaller.

  Now the Sand Village is making more and more moves, although other villages have not yet noticed that the Kazekage is missing or dead.

  But in Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo keenly grasped the truth.     Although they all doubted that Shuichi Hoshita could kill the Kazekage, it was too coincidental.

  The Scorpion of the Red Sand was colluding with the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Rock Village, and it just so happened that the Scorpion of the Red Sand was also very likely one of the culprits who killed Hatake Sakumo.

  But for Sarutobi Hiruzen, no matter what, he must not let this matter be related to Konoha.

  But for Danzo, this was a great opportunity.

  So, seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not admit it, Danzo did not continue to investigate. He would ask Shuichi Hoshita in person when he came back. The most critical thing at the moment was this timing.

  "Huruzen, if the Kazekage dies at the hands of the Red Sand Scorpion and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, the Sand Village will definitely go to war with the Iwagakure Village. This is our chance!"

  Danzo said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "This is an opportunity to completely take over the River Country!"

  "At that time, we can take advantage of the war between the Iwagakure and Sand Ninjas to invade the River Country, so we must start preparing for war now."

  Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "Starting to prepare for war now will attract all attention and make all parties alert."

  "Don't forget, in addition to the Sand Ninjas and the Iwagakure, there are also the Cloud Ninjas and the Mist Ninjas!"

  "What's more, the situation of the Sand Ninjas is not clear now, so we should wait until the situation becomes clear before making a decision!"

  Danzo was depressed and said angrily: "Huruzen, you will regret missing this opportunity!"

  Sarutobi Hiruzen was unmoved: "What the village needs now is not to start a war, but a stable situation so that young ninjas can grow up smoothly."

  Danzo snorted coldly: "Huruzen, you have changed!"

  "Don't forget, we grew up in the war."

  "War is the best place for ninjas to grow!"

  Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his eyes, not wanting to argue anymore: "Danzo, this matter ends here, don't act rashly."

  "Don't forget, I'm the Hokage!"

  Danzo was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his fists hardened.

  "You will regret it!"

  Bang!

  Danzo slammed the door and left.

  Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the helpless sigh, and then thought of Shuichi Hoshita.

  If Shuichi Hoshita really did this, it would be amazing.

  Moreover, as long as it is not exposed, it is indeed beneficial to Konoha.

  If the Sand Village and the Rock Village go to war, Konoha can stay out of it and deal with it calmly.

  Moreover, with the character of the Raikage of the Cloud Village, he might take the opportunity to attack the Rock Village.

  And the Mist Village will definitely not attack Konoha in this case, and the most likely thing is to take the opportunity to attack the Kingdom of Wind.

  Such a situation is undoubtedly the most beneficial to Konoha!

  Unfortunately, Danzo was blinded by interests.

  ...

  Rock Village, in the office of the Tsuchikage.

  The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki looked at his son and said, "So, it is absolutely certain that Old Purple could not have sneaked into the Kingdom of Wind and done those things with that kid called Red Sand Scorpion?"

  Huang Tu nodded with great certainty, "Yes!"

  "Since the last incident, Old Purple has been practicing hard."

  "And there are guards here, it is impossible for Old Purple to leave for such a long time without being discovered."

  After hearing this, Ohnoki said angrily, "So, this was done intentionally by the Sand Village. Is this an excuse to start a war?"

  Huang Tu hesitated for a moment, then said, "The Sand Village's move is very big, and it doesn't look like a fake."

  Ohnoki frowned, "What do you mean?"

  Huang Tu said, "Someone did use the same power as Old Purple!"

  "Melting Release?"

  Ohnoki pondered.

  He remembered that the Cloud Ninja also had a Melting Release user, but his power was different from that of Old Purple.

  At this time, Huang Tu said: "Not only Lava Release, but also the power of the tailed beasts!"

  Ohnoki straightened his short body instantly, his expression serious: "Do you mean someone stole the power of the four-tailed beast?"

  "The kid from Konoha Village?"

  "How is this possible?"

  "It took Lao Zi ten years to gradually master the power of the tailed beasts."

  Huang Tu said: "It may not be that Xingxia Shuichi, it is also possible that someone has obtained the power of the four-tailed beasts in the past."

  "After all, the tailed beasts are different. Father, you also know that their power has extremely strong reproductive characteristics and can be preserved for a very long time."

  "But no matter which situation it is, I think we need to prepare for war."

  Ohnoki nodded and said in a deep voice: "Then notify them and hold a meeting!"

  Soon, the top leaders of the Rock Village gathered and quickly reached a consensus.

  First, prepare for war!

  Second, guard against the attack of the Sand Village, and take the initiative first depending on the situation!

  ...

  While the Rock Village was meeting to make a decision, a meeting was also taking place in the meeting room of the Sand Village in the Wind Country.

  "The Third Kazekage is very powerful, it is impossible for him to be killed just like that!"

  "Yes, the Kazekage-sama has the power to suppress the tailed beasts!"

  "But there is no trace of the Third Kazekage at all now!"

  "Should we choose an acting Kazekage first?"

  ...

  The Sand Ninja jonin who participated in the meeting discussed in a low voice.

  Chiyo glanced at each person, sighed, and said, "The most important thing now is to find the Kazekage, whether he is dead or alive!"

  This sentence made the final decision.

  ...

  In Konoha Village, Shuichi Hoshita rushed back from the daimyo's mansion before lunch, and then came to the Hokage's office to report as soon as possible.

  After carefully explaining the situation of the communication with the daimyo, Shuichi Hoshita heard Sarutobi Hiruzen ask: "Shuichi, did your training go smoothly this time?"

  Shuichi Hoshita understood and immediately said, "It went very smoothly. Flying Thunder God can basically be used in actual combat." Sarutobi Hiruzen

  also understood, but he was secretly shocked, even though he had been mentally prepared.

  After all, he was the shadow of a village, and he was also known as the strongest Kazekage of all generations.

  Moreover, they had fought against each other before, and Sarutobi Hiruzen knew a lot about the strength of the Third Kazekage.

  But now he died at the hands of an 11-year-old child...

  Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who didn't speak, Shuichi Hoshita probably knew that he was secretly shocked.

  Killing a Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages at the age of 11 is indeed amazing.

  But compared to Uchiha Itachi, Shuichi Hoshita didn't think it was a big deal. Although

  he didn't remember the exact time, he speculated that Uchiha Itachi opened the Mangekyō at the age of 11 or 12, and then joined Akatsuki after destroying the Uchiha clan with the help of Uchiha Obito.

  Then he killed Orochimaru in seconds!

  At that time, Uchiha Itachi was probably only about 13 or 14 years old.

  Of course, this is hidden in Shuichi Hoshita's memory and has not happened yet.

  ...

  After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Thank you for the hard work on this trip. Next, let's prepare for the experimental base seriously!"

  He didn't ask for specific details, and Shuichi Hoshita also didn't mean to report on this matter. The two had a tacit understanding.
