Chapter 409 The Collapse of the Border Army!
Roots!

Danzo received a note from the Anbu.

"You go down first!"

He waved his hand for the Anbu to leave.

The Root has a very close relationship with the Anbu, and it was originally a place for training new members for the Anbu. It was only after Danzo took control of the Root that it became an independent kingdom.

Therefore, the relationship between the two is completely one of both cooperation and competition, and this is also why this Anbu was able to meet Danzo directly.

Otherwise, if it were someone else, let alone meeting Danzo, it might not even be possible to enter the Root.

"Huruzen knows that I'm busy collecting intelligence on the Kumo-nin lately, so you won't trouble me with anything again, will you?"

Danzo, feeling a little uncomfortable, looked at the note in his hand.

After just one glance, his expression began to change, and then became more and more excited.

"Demigod Project?"

Danzo stood up excitedly.

If the above content is true, it is great news.

It can greatly improve the strength of the Genin, and the cost is not high. As for the consequences mentioned above, Danzo simply ignored them.

Because in his opinion, these consequences are not worth mentioning at all.

"If I can get it...!"

He muttered excitedly.

However, the prerequisite is that the operation is successful, so he will not take action for the time being, but will observe first. He will only take action after confirming the effectiveness of the operation.

The next day!

Ninjas began to gather one by one.

In a few days, the ninja army naturally gathered together.

The F3 family took the biggest share this time.

The Sarutobi, Utane, and Mito clans accounted for the majority, with more than 500 people. As for the other ninja clans, their numbers were not large, less than 200 in total, and the rest were mostly civilian ninjas.

The sequelae appeared!

The ninjas no longer trust the Hokage.

After all, he had been cheated once, and not only had his own people lost a large amount of money, but he had not yet received any compensation.

It has only been a few years. Even if you have amnesia, you won't forget this lesson so quickly.

In other words, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still sitting in the position of Hokage, otherwise they would not have sent out such a small number of ninjas.

The army's commander, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, walked at the front of the team.

Looking at the villagers and senior officials who were seeing him off, his mood at this moment can be described in four words.

High-spirited!

With this qualification, he would be more confident even if he wanted to compete for the position of Hokage in the future.

pity!

Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't understand one thing.

Things like seniority are only effective if you win; if you lose it is a humiliation.

And in the team, Tang Ping and his team 404 have already assembled.

Koji Yamama arrived at the last minute.

After all, he was an active ninja registered in Konoha and could not refuse the village's orders.

Unless it's defection!
If Dohei said anything, he would definitely say nothing. Anyway, most of his family members had moved to the castle tower, so he had nothing to be afraid of.

The problem is that the castle tower still needs to suck the blood of Konoha, so they cannot turn against it, so they can only obey orders.

At the same time, not far from them were a dozen figures shrouded in stand-up collar coats and wearing sunglasses.

The Oil Girl Clan!
All the adult female ninjas are here.

The remaining minors began to migrate to the castle tower together with the ordinary tribesmen.

With Uchiha Mei escorting, no one dares to attack.

Her record is explosive.

He soloed the Xuanyuan clan who were said to be able to hunt shadows, killed Jiaodu, a veteran shadow-level warrior, and killed his way through the enemy formation alone on the battlefield. He was extremely powerful.

Now the title of 'Queen of Thunder and Fire' has spread throughout the ninja world.

With a Wolf Slayer like this coming to pick people up, there is no need to worry about safety issues even if the main combat force of the Oil Girl Clan is withdrawn to join the reinforcements.

There is no other way. These Oil Female Ninjas are all "active ninjas", so the village naturally cannot not recruit them.

The village agreed to their relocation to the castle tower, but that did not mean they could defect. They had to obey orders.

However, Honglian did not come and left with the Aburame clan.

She is not a Konoha ninja, so she will not participate. Instead, the remaining two reds in the "Three Reds" combination also followed the attack. Red Bean and Yuhi Kurenai are both strong, so how could they not participate in this ninja village war?

"It seems that this battle is to pave the way for the second generation of Shadow?"

Hinata Sogetsu looked at the leader of the team, where Sarutobi Shinnosuke was holding his head high and chest out with a proud attitude, and whispered a mocking remark.

“Sometimes, no matter how well the road is paved, you may not be able to walk steadily. You may even die while walking!”

Tang Ping added.

If he remembered correctly, the future Sarutobi Konohamaru seemed to be an orphan, the kind whose parents had both knelt down.

And judging by memory, Sarutobi Konohamaru is a few years younger than Prince Naruto.

And how old is Naruto this year...

That's why Tang Ping said this.

If it were someone else, Hinata Sogetsu and Yamama Koji would have treated it as a casual remark.

But if it was said by Tang Ping, who had already proven his ability to predict, it would be different.

"really?"

Although Yamama Koji was a taciturn person, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.

The other party is the eldest son of the Hokage!
Not only is he protected by the Anbu, he also has the close protection of 'Ino-Shika-Chou', plus he is an elite jonin.

Who can kill him?

Even though ninjutsu is blind on the battlefield, it is not so easy for a commander to get into trouble.

“Who knows…”

Tang Ping withdrew his gaze and did not continue the topic.

Because he wasn't sure about that.

The original plot didn't seem to reveal any information about Konohamaru's parents, so Douhei didn't know the details.

After the team left Konoha, they all jumped forward through the woods.

If we really march like an ordinary team, it will take at least half a month to reach the front line.

But if we march like this, we can reach the front line in a few days.

And this is just the basic forward marching speed. If it is accelerated, the Jonin can reach the front line in one day, but there is a possibility of losing combat capability, and once the enemy seizes the opportunity, it will be over.

Therefore, this marching speed is the safest now.

Tang Ping and his team 404 stayed in the middle of the team and didn't go to the front to join in the fun, making it clear that they would not compete for command.

Yes, Danzo and Sarutobi Shinnosuke started fighting for power as soon as they left Konoha.

Everyone knows Sarutobi Shinnosuke's abilities, so Danzo is confident that he can suppress the opponent and take command.

If he succeeds, even though he is a deputy general, he can still make the achievement his own.

This was also the biggest reason why he agreed to serve as deputy general and was willing to be inferior to the junior Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

Danzo's dream is to become Hokage, but he will not allow the other party to gain the upper hand by taking credit for his achievements.

He would dare to assassinate even Sarutobi Hiruzen, let alone steal his merits.

Unfortunately, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En had already anticipated this and prepared helpers for Kennosuke in advance.

Nara Shikaku!

Although this "Konoha Military Strategist" did not want to confront Danzo.

But he knew better that he should stand on that side, so he held back Danzo and prevented him from taking command.

He even wanted to drag Tang Ping into the water, but was rejected.

joke!

Tang Ping had already expressed his stance through his actions.

That is, the village orders you to obey, but don't expect yourself to help with all your strength. Just doing your best and taking it easy is already an honor to the village.

Watch a show!

He was responsible for watching the show in the team.

After the team marched for a day and set up camp to rest at night, they received an urgent intelligence.

The front line collapsed!
The Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee led an army of three thousand Cloud Ninjas into the Land of Fire and defeated the original border troops.

It was only a local conflict before, so the number of people was only about a thousand. Originally, I thought that with the support of their thousand, two thousand against three thousand, relying on the advantages of logistics and terrain, it would not be difficult to resist the Cloud Ninjas.

But they didn't expect to encounter this situation before they joined up with the border troops.

Therefore, the team must renegotiate the next course of action.

And Team 404 naturally must participate.

After all, there are only two powerful Kage-level warriors with titles in their team, and the remaining one also has a white eye, so you can imagine how important he is.
