I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

”Konoha already had the Fourth Hokage, so there was no chance for Danzo to become Hokage,” an Anbu vice-commander retorted.

Nagasawa nodded and said, ”Normally, yes.”

”We all know that Namikaze Minato is currently the youngest Kage in the history of Shinobi, but because of that, many people in Konoha are against him becoming a Hokage.”

”If Minato makes a critical mistake right after taking the Hokage mantle, he may be dethroned.”

”Last but not least, do you think Danzo would be so kind as to help us? He is a Konoha Shinobi! He was born and raised in Konoha!” Nagasawa said as icing on the cake and observed everyone’s reaction.

The Kage hesitated, but he did think that Morishita had a point. Although it seemed like Danzo was helping them this time, was that really the case?

A Konoha Shinobi worrying about Kusagakure? What a joke!

”Namikaze Minato will definitely implement the same policy that leaned toward peace like the Third Hokage, and after the Third Hokage is dead, Konoha will have an incompetent Hokage.” Nagasawa kept throwing plausible arguments.

The Kage looked at Nagasawa and finally felt that Danzo wasn’t trustable and that he should believe Morishita instead.

After all, Morishita was a Kusagakure Shinobi, and he was passionate about Kusagakure’s growth. There was no reason that he’d advise anything that’d put Kusagakure at a disadvantage, while there was no guarantee Danzo was truly trying to help them.

The Kage nodded and said, ”Then Morishita, do you have any ideas?”

Nagasawa smiled faintly and said, ”Of course, didn’t they say that there would be Konoha Shinobis coming to steal the intel about the Anbu Squad we sent? We should not hide the intel. In fact, we should make it easy for them to steal it. Of course, we’ll only give the intel of that one Anbu Squad. ”

The Anbu Commander analyzed: ”Indeed, that is a good idea, it can make Konoha despise us further, and then we will pay compensation. Konoha would then definitely think that we are an incompetent and spineless Shinobi village. We can also foil Danzo Shimura’s plan at the same time, and Minato Namikaze can comfortably sit as a puppet Hokage. ”

Nagasawa was secretly laughing at the Anbu Commander. It was as if this Anbu Commander was continuing his sentence.

However, he couldn’t blame the Anbu Commander for being so easy to manipulate. He was just lacking information about Konoha. Besides, Minato really seemed like a puppet Hokage now.

Even Nagasawa, who knew everything felt this way, let alone Kusagakure, who only knew some superficial information.

The Kage nodded and ordered: ”Then leave this matter to Morishita, and tomorrow I will send someone to give you the intel about the Anbu Squad. During the mission, you have the right to temporarily mobilize the other three Squads and be careful not to let the Konoha Shinobi sniff out the secrets we don’t want them to have. ”

Nagasawa nodded with a smile: ”Don’t worry, I will definitely complete the task perfectly, and I will not let unnecessary secrets leak.”

Who could do an infiltration mission as good as Nagasawa? The enemy’s Kage personally handed the mission objective to him.

Nagasawa believed that if he maintained his disguise for a little longer, it would not be a dream for him to become a Kusagakure’s Kage.

However, he was bound to Konoha, not Kusagakure. Even if Kusagakure’s Kage gave his position to him, he might not be happy.

The other three Anbu Squad Leaders looked at Nagasawa with envious eyes. Being given the authority to order around other Squads basically made Nagasawa a Commander, albeit only temporarily.

After the meeting, the Kusagakure’s Kage met the two Root Shinobis again.

The Kage said indifferently: ”We will take good care of your Shinobis that will come to steal our intel, you may go back now.”

The two root Shinobis were a little confused.

The last time they met, the Kage was quite enthusiastic. Why did he suddenly send them away so coldly?

The Root Shinobi frowned and said: ”Don’t underestimate those Shinobis. They are Konoha’s Anbu, Konoha’s Elite Shinobi, they’re nothing like your Kusagakure Anbu.”

The Kage leader sneered in his heart. These Root Shinobis dared to mock Kusagakure’s Anbu in front of him, Kusagakure’s Kage. Sure enough, as Morishita said, Shimura Danzo was Kusagakure’s real enemy.

Kusagakure was better off with Sarutobi Hiruzen and his puppet Namikaze Minato, who had no ambitions. With them as Hokage, Kusagakure could develop more safely.

Kusagakure’s Kage would rather pay some compensation to buy some time to develop safely.

He believed that Kusagakure Shinobi would grow rapidly under his leadership and finally find an opportunity during the war to reach the same level, or better yet, surpass the Five Great Shinobi Countries.

Although the Kage was offended, he didn’t attack and just said plainly: ”This is none of Root’s concern, I believe in our Anbu.”

Although he was dissatisfied with the two Root Shinobis’ remarks, the Kage still had to respect Konoha.

The Root Shinobis felt that Kusagakure’s Kage might’ve hit his head on his way there.

They came all the way from the Land of Fire to the Land of Grass to help them, but Kusagakure’s Kage didn’t appreciate it.

The Root Shinobi thought for a while and explained: ”You don’t have to worry that we have malicious intent for Kusagakure. If Konoha wants to destroy Kusagakure, we won’t take such a roundabout way. We’re here just here to help Kusagakure, to save Kusagakure from the loss your people will suffer in war. ”

The Kage’s face darkened. Although it was true, these Root Shinobis were out of line. If it were Hokage who told him that, he might be able to restrain himself, but a mere Root Shinobi?

The Kage released all his aura, and the powerful murderous aura enveloped the two Root Shinobis as he said faintly: ”Although we’re indeed weak, it’s not your place to say it. We have taken what you said to heart, and we will reward you in the future. Go back and don’t make me repeat myself.”

The faces of the two Root Shinobis changed drastically. They were either shocked by the Kage’s Killing Intent or angry at the Kage’s attitude.

In the end, the two Root Shinobis didn’t say anything and left Kusagakure.

The Shinobi World respected the strong, and the Kusagakure’s Kage was strong, so they naturally had to back off for now. After all, even if they died here, Danzo would not necessarily stand for them.

They all knew that their leader treated them as disposable pawns, and Danzo would definitely not make a big deal out of losing two Shinobis because of a small village.

After all, it was not worth it. Even if Kusagakure was just a small Shinobi village, it was a Shinobi village with a lot of Shinobis nonetheless.

But Danzo would definitely blackmail and intimidate Kusagakure’s Kage. However, it was not to avenge his subordinates; it was purely for profit.
