Chapter 113: The Woman Who Shot the Eight-Tails Appears!
Fugaku Uchiha and Hizashi Hyuga left the Defense Department together, each with a satisfied smile on their face. This news was quickly detected by Danzo Shimura, who nonchalantly continued to flip through the documents in his hand.
As a member of Konoha's war hawk faction, how could Danzo Shimura focus only on a small place like the village? Whether he could use this opportunity to pull down the Hyuga clan head was just a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
Only the three old geezers knew the news that he and Koharu Utatane had persuaded Hiruzen Sarutobi to advocate for the overall peace. Who would leak this news?
Danzo sneered. Besides the old pipe-smoker, who else could it be?
But, this also proved that the Hokage Building had chosen the other plan he had proposed.
Danzo Shimura, keeping it from Koharu Utatane, had discussed another plan with Hiruzen Sarutobi... After all, they were both men...
The Byakugan certainly couldn't be handed over to the Hidden Cloud Village. All these years, he had worried himself sick, losing countless hairs trying to retrieve the Byakugan that had been taken by the Hidden Mist Village for the Hyuga clan...
Those ungrateful wolves had no idea of his efforts behind the scenes!
The other plan had multiple contingency plans. Hiruzen Sarutobi would first refuse the Hidden Cloud Village. The best outcome, of course, was that the Hidden Cloud Village's thunder would be loud but the rain small... that they wouldn't dare to start a war.
However, once it was certain that the Hidden Cloud Village intended to start a war because of this, they would pretend to seek peace over Hizashi Hyuga's matter and dispatch elite personnel to assassinate the Fourth Raikage... How dare you be so jumpy after being injured by one of our Konoha rogue ninjas?
The Defense Department under Jiraiya's command, which had concentrated Konoha's elite forces, was right at the border, ready to be supplemented by other squads to form a large army at any time.
Killing the Fourth Raikage, quickly ending the war against the Hidden Cloud, would immediately intimidate the entire ninja world. That old fellow Onoki and Rasa wouldn't dare to start a war... Even if a war started, it was most likely that the Land of Earth would take the opportunity to beat the down-and-out Land of Lightning.
Not much time had passed since the Third Shinobi World War. Tearing up peace treaties had long become commonplace. The Hidden Sand Village and Hidden Stone Village had done this plenty of times during negotiations...
It would be strange if Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't tempted!
The only unexpected thing was that the old man's heart was a bit too dirty. While acting as the good guy himself, he didn't forget to dump a pot of filth on Danzo's head... Shameless old man!
When Danzo was planning this, he had forgotten to consider that Hizashi Hyuga would approach Fugaku. After all, what could Fugaku do every day besides showing off his son?
That red-eyed patient had gotten off easy...
Now...
Danzo could only sit in his office, calmly comforting himself. Everything I do is for Konoha, not for reward... When this matter is completely over, Hizashi Hyuga will sooner or later understand my intentions!
Soon, the people from the Hidden Cloud Village left a few threatening words and left Konoha in a dejected state. Just as the village entered a state of readiness for war, and before Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo's plan could be implemented, the Hidden Cloud Village's envoys came again...
Hmm, seeking peace.
The development of this matter was truly full of twists and turns...
The Hidden Cloud Village's ace, the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, Killer Bee, was severely injured by a female ninja, and it was while he was in his Tailed Beast form...
With the A-B combination powerless, launching a war against Konoha... they might have muscles in their heads, but they weren't truly brainless!
Hizashi Hyuga's squad, being at the border, received this news a little earlier... The people from the Intelligence Division were very efficient, even managing to get a portrait of the female ninja.
Regardless of age or gender, including the crow, everyone's eyes widened in surprise. Even the elderly Homura Mitokado couldn't help but praise, "Too... too cute!"
"Caw!"
Kitahara recognized the woman in the portrait at a glance. Seriously, is this really the ninja world? Not the world in a well or something?
The woman in the portrait was already exceptionally beautiful from just a side view.
A cascade of black hair was simply tied up with a white ribbon, falling casually over her body, looking somewhat gentle and lovely...
The woman's brow was slightly furrowed, her eyes slightly narrowed as she stared into the distance, making her already exquisite features breathtaking...
She held a longbow in her hand, with a quiver on her back, sparsely filled with a few feathered arrows, adding a contrasting heroic air to the woman...
When had these rough men of the ninja world ever seen such elegance!
The well-traveled Jiraiya was, on the contrary, the first to come to his senses. Cute or whatever, it's worthless in front of Tsunade!
The White-Haired Child's expression gradually became grave as he said in a deep voice, "It was this woman who severely injured the Hidden Cloud Village's Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?"
"Yes... yes."
The intelligence ninja swallowed. The Hidden Cloud's army was on the move, and they were still diligently monitoring them when they entered the Hidden Hot Water Village... They still remembered what happened after the battle.
"That woman ambushed the advancing Hidden Cloud army, shooting a very jumpy fellow with one arrow. It was later confirmed that the one shot was the Hidden Cloud Village's Eight-Tails Jinchuriki..."
"After the Jinchuriki transformed into its Tailed Beast form, the woman fired three consecutive arrows, pinning the person to the ground. If not for the Hidden Cloud Village's ninjas desperately swarming forward, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki might have already died..."
"Later, Lady Tsunade suddenly appeared and took that woman away from the battlefield. The Hidden Cloud Village's ninja army also chose to retreat after rescuing the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki..."
Jiraiya's eyebrows knitted together, "Tsunade! How could she appear on the battlefield?"
"Lady Tsunade has actually been in the Hidden Hot Water Village all along, but we didn't expect her to stay in a casino for a whole month..." The intelligence ninja awkwardly wiped the sweat from his head. His mood had also collapsed when he found out about this.
"When did she become so rich? And her money could actually last for a month of gambling?" Jiraiya muttered a few words.
Hizashi Hyuga said in a deep voice, "She's the medical ninja who repelled Orochimaru before, right? If Lady Tsunade is there, it should be easy to make contact..."
While the group was discussing, Uchiha Itachi left the camp with the somewhat dazed crow, "Kitahara, what's wrong? Do you know that medical ninja?"
"Caw..."
The crow nodded, then shook its head. I know her, but she doesn't know me?
Why did that woman's combat power, after coming to the ninja world, become so off the charts! Arrows of exorcism, arrows of sealing, a perfect counter to all evil spirits and monsters, no matter what Jinchuriki or Sage you are...
From the bits and pieces described by the intelligence ninja, Kitahara suspected that even the Uchiha clan's Susanoo might not be able to withstand it.
By the way, why would she appear here...
Kitahara was still pondering...
"Hey, kid! Where's Jiraiya!"
An arrogant voice interrupted Kitahara's thoughts and also caught Uchiha Itachi's attention. The youth said in surprise, "Lady Tsunade!"
Tsunade waved her hand impatiently, "Where's your teacher? I know he's leading the team this time! I'm here to discuss the matter of troop withdrawal with him..."
"Teacher Jiraiya is right inside..." Uchiha Itachi watched as Tsunade walked past him, his gaze falling on the second woman behind Tsunade...
Itachi had just seen her portrait...
The woman's fingers instantly drew a feathered arrow. Before Uchiha Itachi could even see her movement clearly, he saw that the woman's arrowhead was already aimed at the crow on his shoulder, "Great Demon!"
"It's a ninja beast!"
Tsunade quickly pressed down the bow in her hand and, with surprising patience, explained to her in bits and pieces, "That's this little brat's ninja crow. I've told you so many times, how come you can't remember?"
"But its Four Souls..."
"I already told you, that's chakra! The ninja beasts here can all condense chakra just like people..." Tsunade pushed the woman into the camp, chattering away:
"I'm very familiar with the commander of this ninja army. Coincidentally, he's very proficient in summoning jutsus. Let him take a look for you later and see what's going on with the summoning contract on you..."
