Chapter 577 If You Can Do It, Go Ahead

"It seems that Iwagakure attaches great importance to these spies." Jiraiya turned his head and looked around and said.

At that time, because they were in a hurry to join the support troops to fight an ambush, they had no time to interrogate White Zetsu, so they only sent two ninjas to take White Zetsu to a hidden place for detention.

However, Jiraiya did not expect that within just a few hours, the people of Iwagakure could find White Zetsu and take him away.

It can almost be described as lightning fast.

It was just a few hours, and normally it was impossible to ensure that there was no problem with the spy.

After all, being a spy is very risky, and it is impossible to contact several times a day frequently.

As a result, Iwagakure not only knew that the spy was exposed, but also found and rescued him at an incredible speed, which really puzzled Jiraiya.

The time that Iwagakure could act was too short.

Before the ambush was officially launched, Iwagakure must not have known that the spy was exposed, otherwise the Iwagakure ninja troops would not have walked into the trap set by Mu Yue.

But it was just an ambush to successfully find someone, which was a bit exaggerated in efficiency.

"But it's true. This thing is too powerful for war. I guess Iwagakure is afraid that Konoha will also develop similar products." Jiraiya sighed.

If it weren't for Mu Yue's ability to sense malice, even if Jiraiya knew the information about White Zetsu, he would have no good way to deal with White Zetsu's troubles.

It's really too shameless to perceive the transformation technique that even the ninja can't distinguish.

"It depends on whether the village can develop a response plan after the intelligence report is sent up." Namikaze Minato also had some concerns in his eyes.

If there is no solution, Mu Yue will probably have to deal with Iwagakure's troops for a long time before the Iwagakure peace talks.

"I hope everything goes well." Mu Yue also said with a worried expression, although his heart was calm at the moment.

Because Mu Yue knew about this matter a long time ago, and even his shadow clone was involved in it.

Mu Yue didn't want Konoha to get White Zetsu.

For Mu Yue, it was actually a good thing that Konoha knew that Uchiha Madara was alive.

The reason why he didn't want Konoha to get White Zetsu was because of White Zetsu itself.

White Zetsu may seem like a weak intelligence tool, but in fact, White Zetsu is a treasure.

White Zetsu has Hashirama cells all over his body, which is not a treasure in the world of Naruto.

Moreover, the Hashirama cells in White Zetsu are not ordinary Hashirama cells, but Hashirama cells cultivated by Uchiha Madara using the Outer Path Demon Statue.

If Konoha gets White Zetsu, with the power of Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru in Konoha, a part of White Zetsu's body will definitely fall into their hands.

If Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo figure out something by then, Mu Yue may not be able to control the situation at that time.

However, although Mu Yue has the idea of ​​taking action, the fainted Konoha ninja has nothing to do with Mu Yue.

Two White Zetsu disguised as Konoha ninjas took action before Mu Yue's shadow clone.

Although Mu Yue didn't want to see Konoha get White Zetsu, she would not let White Zetsu go. After White Zetsu knocked out the guarding ninja, she came out and killed all five White Zetsu and put them into the sealing scroll.

Hashirama cells are indeed a good thing.

In the original work, Obito only has an ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan, and with the help of Hashirama's cells, he can use the Mangekyō ability at will without any side effects.

In the future, if Shisui and Obito open the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the Yang-style training that Mu Yue envisioned does not solve the Mangekyō problem, then these White Zetsu will come in handy.

…

Konoha Village.

Hokage Building, Hokage Office.

When receiving the information passed by Mu Yue, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that Konoha defeated the 2,000 ninja troops of Iwagakure, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.

This result greatly exceeded his expectations. Sarutobi Hiruzen's original idea was that the support troops could make up for the disadvantage and maintain a balance with Iwagakure.

When he saw the information about White Zetsu, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed instantly. After reading the information, he immediately asked the Anbu at the door to call a meeting of the top leaders.

"This is the latest information from the front line. Let's take a look first." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in the meeting room.

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen put the pipe into his mouth, took a deep breath, and then exhaled white smoke with a trace of worry on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's appearance made the other three high-level officials couldn't help but think wildly.

"Could it be that the Grass Country was defeated again? Well, this way Hiruzen will have no excuse not to use Orochimaru." Shimura Danzo thought to himself as he picked up the intelligence in front of him.

The defeat in the Grass Country battlefield was a bad thing for Konoha, but it was a good thing for Shimura Danzo.

When he learned that Jiraiya was defeated by Iwagakure and could only flee with his troops, Shimura Danzo was very excited.

Because this is a big stain, it will reduce Jiraiya's support rate in Konoha, and it is also an opportunity for Orochimaru.

When he saw the words "our army defeated the Iwagakure troops and annihilated more than 1,600 enemies", Shimura Danzo had a question mark in his mind. After reading it carefully several times, he found that he was not wrong, that is, he had won a great victory.

Shimura Danzo frowned slightly. The frontline troops won the battle, but Sarutobi Hiruzen still showed that expression. Was he trying to trick him?

When he saw the intelligence from those Iwagakure spies, Shimura Danzo finally understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's worries.

They did win the battle, but the strength shown by Iwagakure was worrying.

"There is actually such a transformation technique that can even deceive the perception ninja." Mito Kado En also showed a serious expression after reading the intelligence.

Namikaze Minato could see the war potential of White Zetsu, and these high-level officials had also gone through various wars, so of course they could see the power of White Zetsu.

"It is indeed unexpected. No wonder the troops led by Jiraiya were defeated so thoroughly." Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his mustache and said.

Before receiving the news that Sarutobi Hiroshi had become a spy, Sarutobi Hiruzen spent a lot of effort to conduct various investigations, but he found almost no useful information.

He thought that Sarutobi Hiroshi was hiding too well, but it turned out that the other party had no problems.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen trying to find reasons for Jiraiya's defeat, Shimura Danzo opened his mouth to refute, but closed his mouth again.

Because at the meeting to select the support commander, Shimura Danzo strongly recommended Orochimaru. According to the current situation, the commander can only be Mu Yue.

With White Zetsu acting as a spy in Iwagakure, anyone other than Mu Yue may not be able to defeat the Iwagakure troops.

"It's still you who have foresight. Let Mu Yue command the support troops. Otherwise, the news would not be a great victory, but a great defeat." Mito Kado Yan sighed.

If it weren't for Mu Yue's special perception ability to find out the spy and make a counterattack plan, it would be difficult for the Konoha ninja troops to withstand the attack, let alone win.

With almost half of the troops reduced and spies that cannot be found, it is almost a hell-level difficulty.

"This is also a pleasant surprise, but Mu Yue is indeed the most capable ninja in the new era." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

He didn't expect Mu Yue to win such a great victory. The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't agree to transfer Orochimaru was just because he was worried that Kumogakure would take the opportunity to make trouble.

Shimura Danzo was very upset when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen like this.

Mu Yue was obviously a ninja of his root, an outstanding talent cultivated by Shimura Danzo, how could it be the credit of you Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Shimura Danzo felt a strange feeling in his heart that the leeks he had worked hard to plant were secretly harvested by others at night.

"Since Iwagakure was defeated, why don't we use war as a threat to make Iwagakure hand over the intelligence of those spies." Utatane Koharu expressed his thoughts.

"According to the current intelligence, those spies are most likely the product of some kind of human experiment. If we successfully crack the technology, then our intelligence ninjas will be invincible in the future."

If you can't beat them, join them. Since the traditional intelligence ninjas are outdated, they will also be updated.

Shimura Danzo looked at Utatane Koharu unexpectedly. He didn't expect that the other party had the same idea as him.

Such evil technology must be handed over to Konoha for safekeeping!

"That's right, we should send more ninja troops and take this opportunity to enter the Land of Earth and directly take Iwagakure." Shimura Danzo agreed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, "It's too risky. If Kumogakure takes the opportunity to attack, it will be very troublesome."

Although Kumogakure may not attack Konoha, they may also take advantage of the situation to attack Iwagakure, but Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't want to gamble. The consequences of losing the gamble are really great.

"Hiruzen, your hesitation will only make Konoha weak!

If Konoha makes every invading enemy pay a huge price, who would dare to go to war with Konoha?" Shimura Danzo retorted unconvinced.

This time they wiped out more than a thousand Iwagakure ninjas and won such a big victory. Going to the Land of Earth is also a great deterrent.

"You only think of the benefits. If Kumogakure and Mistgakure take advantage of the opportunity, can you solve them?" Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the conference table and asked forcefully.

Doesn't Sarutobi Hiruzen know that this is an opportunity to defeat Iwagakure in one go, but the risk is too great.

Since the establishment of Konoha, the war has been isolated from Konoha. The enemy can only enter the Land of Fire at most, and there is absolutely no way to get close to Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't want to be the only Hokage who plunges Konoha into the war, which is too embarrassing.

"If Konoha is really in danger, I will naturally lead the troops to attack." Shimura Danzo still insisted on his own ideas.

"It's not a question of whether to go to the battlefield or not, but whether we can deal with the incoming enemies." Sarutobi Hiruzen emphasized.

Shimura Danzo is a powerful ninja, but that's all, not stronger than the three ninjas or Mu Yue.

"Why do you think I can't deal with the incoming ninjas?" Shimura Danzo asked back.

Anyway, Kumogakure hasn't attacked yet, so let's brag first.

"Since you are so confident, then you will be the commander of Iwagakure and lead some ninjas to explore the intelligence of Iwagakure first." Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

"Not now, I have many other things to deal with." Shimura Danzo refused directly.

It's not that he is afraid of death and dare not go, but Shimura Danzo really has other things to do.

He has been trying to figure out what Sosuke's ninja inheritance is, and how to get the Samsara Eye.

"If you are willing to lead the team, then go. If not, don't mention the attack on Iwagakure!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said lightly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tough attitude made Utatane Koharu give up her own plan. Her fighting ability was the worst among the four senior leaders, and she neglected training after becoming a senior leader, so her strength became even worse.

Shimura Danzo was still unconvinced, but he did not refute it again. He couldn't really do it himself.

If he accidentally fell in the Land of Earth, it would be a loss for the entire Konoha.

"There is no need to attack the Land of Earth on a large scale, but we do need to test the attitude of Iwagakure." Mito Kado En said, raising the frame of his glasses with his left hand.

In the two battles in the Grass Country battlefield, Konoha and Iwagakure won one and lost one.

Overall, Iwagakure suffered much greater losses, but Konoha was not without losses. Considering that other ninja villages were eyeing them, Mito Kado Yan thought it was necessary to act prudently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and he also wanted to send ninjas to contact Iwagakure.

The current situation is too unfavorable for Konoha, and it is necessary to negotiate with a large ninja village to form an alliance.

"In this case, then recall Hanyu Muyue to Konoha as soon as possible. Iwagakure's spies are so powerful. If they sneak into Konoha, it will be bad." said Utatane Koharu.

If you want to attack Iwagakure, Muyue, the only one who can distinguish Iwagakure spies at present, must not be absent.

Now that it is determined not to attack Iwagakure, Utatane Koharu thinks that Muyue must be called back.

"Yes, it is best to use an excuse to summon the ninjas and let Muyue conduct a major inspection." Mito Kado Yan has the same worry.

Although their high-level strength is not weak, if the Iwagakure spies disguise themselves as their family members to play tricks, it is not impossible to overturn.

"I will contact the Grass Country troops after the meeting." Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with this proposal.

In addition to eliminating possible spies in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen also wanted Mu Yue to teach ninjutsu to other ninjas and include it in the Konoha Ninjutsu Library.

In principle, Konoha will not force any ninja to hand over his ninjutsu, unless it is an inhumane forbidden technique.

However, this time the situation is special. To put it more seriously, it is related to the life and death of Konoha, so special matters can only be handled in a special way.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks that Mu Yue, who has the will of fire, should understand, and he will not let Mu Yue teach in vain.

After the various discussions on Iwagakure, the topic gradually came to rewarding merits.

In any case, this is a great victory worth celebrating.

Mu Yue, who formulated the counterattack plan and killed many enemies and injured the Jinchūriki on the battlefield, is undoubtedly the first meritorious, and Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato can only be ranked behind Mu Yue.

After the meeting, Shimura Danzo quickly found the subordinates of the Root and asked them to contact the Root members on the front line.

"Although the people were rescued, since there was a battle, there may be some residual body tissue." Shimura Danzo thought secretly.

If the technology of Iwagakure spy transformation technique is developed, his Root Organization will be the strongest intelligence organization in the ninja world.

By then, Konoha will defeat all ninja villages with the help of his Root Organization, and even Sarutobi Hiruzen will have no reason to restrict the Root.
