"As you wish. But forgive me for talking, you can't sit in the position of Hokage if you keep hiding in the dark."

Orochimaru seemed to be advising Danzo.

"Is this your feelings as a loser after your failure in competing for the Fourth Hokage?"

Hearing Danzo's words, Orochimaru started laughing.

Without saying anything, Orochimaru disappeared from where he was.

"Orochimaru is getting more and more bold. He seems to have forgotten who has been supporting his research behind the scenes. Without the help of Roots, none of his research would have been completed."

Aburame Ryoma snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Don't say that. At least his mind is worthy of recognition. As long as he can continue to study for us, some contradictions are nothing."

"The matter about Uchiha Itachi..."

"We'll wait and see for a while, now is not the best time to contact him."

Danzo shook his head, and after saying this, he turned and left.

In the Kingdom of Rainbow, there is an abandoned wooden house in the forest, surrounded by dense trees and covered with snow.

A woman with long red hair stood on a snow-covered branch, as if standing guard there, inspecting the surrounding environment for anything unusual.

There are also ninjas hiding in some trees next to her.

His aura is very well concealed, obviously he has been strictly trained in this aspect.

They communicate with each other using the latest radio communicators from the Kingdom of Ghosts, which can easily transfer information.

As time passed, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and the pale snow scene was covered in front of my eyes.

In this extremely bad environment, everyone did not complain. They just stood guard in their own positions and scanned the surroundings without blinking.

The woman with long red hair was obviously the leader. She sensed something at this moment and pressed the button, triggering the radio on her lips to turn on.

She quietly contacted the other team members:

"Attention, there are strangers who have broken into the warning range. Three o'clock, two hundred and fifty meters, six people. Eleven o'clock, three hundred and ten meters, six people. Seven o'clock, two

One hundred and sixty meters away, four people. Deal with the enemy as quickly as possible, don’t let anyone escape!"

After the red-haired woman gave the order, three figures spread out from the three trees and rushed towards the three directions pointed by the woman.

The attackers were unaware that their whereabouts had been exposed.

They used the wind and snow to cover up their presence and moved forward cautiously and lurking on the snow.

"The target is just ahead, are you all ready?"

The leading ninja of one of the teams turned around and asked in a low voice.

"yes."

"Well, follow my orders later and attack at full speed. The target is the head of the fourth Mizukage, Tachibana Yagura!"

The leading ninja drew his ninja sword from behind, his eyes shining with bloodlust.

The subordinates are also ready to attack.

"It's now!"

Seeing that everything was ready, the leading ninja took the lead and charged forward, followed closely by his three subordinates.

At this moment, on the snowy road ahead, snowflakes were flying wildly, and a figure appeared silently, blocking their way.

"Anbu? Don't get in the way here!"

The leading ninja's eyes narrowed, and the ninja sword drew a sharp slash like a full moon in the air, passing through the figure's body.

"Wha, what!?"

There is no physical feeling of being cut into the flesh, it is like cutting through the unobstructed air.

"What's going on? It's obviously a hit, why can't it feel real..."

I don't know what happened, but in the eyes of the leading ninja, it was almost a fatal blow, but it didn't feel like it hit the body.

It was the first time in my life that I felt this weird feeling.

Is it an illusion? The leading ninja thought for a while and rejected the idea.

The figure crossing the road was just a teenage hedgehog-headed boy, with the very iconic Uanfan badge embroidered on his clothes.

"Uchiha...why do Konoha's ninjas appear here?"

When the leading ninja saw this scene, he had no idea what was going on.

Their target this time is obviously the Fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura, so why are there Konoha ninjas here?

Could it be that their intelligence was wrong?

The spiky-headed boy didn't care what these people were thinking. He stood there forming a seal with his hands and immediately spit out a fireball from his mouth and rushed towards one of the enemies.

The man jumped away immediately to avoid the fireball.

"Be careful, he's behind you!"

I thought it was too late to go to the rescue, so I could only shout a reminder.

"What?"

The man turned around in surprise, only to see the spiky-headed boy who was still on the snow appear behind him at some point.

His right eye glowed red, and strange black lines appeared in the eye.

Wherever the red eyes looked, the air was directly twisted into a vortex.

One of the attackers, like a magic trick, miraculously disappeared from the sky.

The other three attackers, including the leader, looked at this scene in disbelief with their eyes wide open and had no idea what was happening.

The hedgehog-headed boy stared at the remaining three people with his red right eye and said to them:
Chapter completed!
