Chapter 2517 The Most Critical

Latest website: "Everyone, get down!"

Opening his eyes, he slowly closed them, covering up the flames of resentment that were gradually becoming unsuppressible and covering up the gloomy fire of resentment in his eyes. Danzo took a slight breath, and suddenly spoke again.

But there was no trace of fireworks in his words. The old man, half of his body and even half of his face was covered by bandages, his tone was cold and cold, as if it had never changed, and no emotion could be heard in it, as if he had just spoken. The resentment is nothing but an illusion.

At the same time, following his words, the darkness behind the main seat where he was sitting, which was as rich as the surroundings, seemed to flicker a few times.

After that, the rich darkness seemed to fade a little.

If it's a warning...

So, how did he know?

At this time, after feeling that everyone had left, Danzo's gloomy eyes began to show waves of uncertainty.

At this moment, the sudden fire of resentment that caught people off guard had disappeared from Danzo's heart, as if it had never appeared before.

For Danzo, it is useless to feel sad and regretful at this time. Besides, as the master of Konoha's roots and the person in charge of the dark side, how can he be hampered by emotional problems?

Furthermore, putting aside these unnecessary emotional issues, the letter is just a member of the root. In the final analysis, it is just a "tool".

It's just a tool to transport nutrients to the leaves.

He could be sad about Xin's death, but as the person in charge of the root and the founder of the organization, he couldn't be sad.

Now, there are more important things than believing in death.

First of all, he lost his only right-hand man, and the newly promoted one could not meet his needs. Even though the situation now is much better than when the Fourth Hokage came to power, to a certain extent, he still has a considerable advantage.

However, after losing the letter, and now that Taki Chiba has returned, it is probably impossible to help him accurately grasp the current situation just by relying on the abilities of his newly promoted assistants.

If we cannot accurately grasp the current situation, the advantage that is a blessing in disguise may not be fully utilized.

For myself, this situation is still quite unfavorable.

Secondly, there is the death of faith itself.

He died in front of him, and he died under his nose. The cause of death has not yet been found out.

So, how did Xin die? Is it related to Long Qianye? If it was related to Long Qianye, why did Long Qianye kill Xin?

Is there another murderer, or is it another enemy seeking revenge?

Or was it Taki Chiba's second-round showdown?

If it is revenge from other enemies, then he must send a large number of root elites to investigate the matter. The village is now in an extraordinary period, and under the skin of the Chunin Exam, the undercurrent in Konoha Village is already turbulent, and there are also There is an enemy that can definitely kill Shin without even realizing it.

In the dark world, there are countless people who have a blood feud with him. There were even rebels among his roots who sneaked into enemy villages to avenge their relatives. In recent years, there have been a lot fewer people. However, before the Fourth Hokage came to power, If he had not been placed in a safe house in the village or if his subordinates had not blocked him, he would have experienced an average of three assassinations a day.

It is normal for someone to really kill Xin out of revenge.

As for why the first one had to kill Xin unknowingly and make such a seemingly alarming move, it was most likely to make him anxious or panic, thereby creating more loopholes and opportunities, making the assassin absolutely foolproof. of killing himself.

Moreover, it is now the Chunin Examination, and the village is facing the same shortage of manpower as it was more than ten years ago. If there are assassins, it will be relatively easy to sneak in.

Undoubtedly, this period is more suitable for assassinating oneself.

And if it is an assassin, then he has to take action. Ninjas are proficient in assassination. A confidant who can kill him silently under his nose is still his most important confidant. Undoubtedly, This assassin is no ordinary ninja, at least in terms of assassination, he is already at the top of the ninja world.

Such a ninja, even if his roots are impregnable and cunning rabbits have three holes, must take the initiative to find this assassin.

Even if it arouses Taki Chiba's alertness and triggers Taki Chiba's overreaction, it doesn't matter.

And if it wasn't the assassin, then Nobu's death might be Taki Chiba's second warning to him.

The reason is probably that night, that is, the night four days ago.

That night, in the face of the internal news that Taki Chiba had returned that had not spread to the whole village, and that the Hokage secretly delegated some authority to Taki Chiba to secretly plan, all the informants on his side who had been reinstalled in various departments were all After clearing the emergency information, Xin was somewhat irrational. At that time, he actually proposed to directly carry out a coup while taking advantage of the Chuunin exams. Although he was severely scolded by himself and refused sternly.

But if Nobu's death was Taki Chiba's second warning, then, I'm afraid, Taki Chiba somehow found out about this matter. After all, Taki Chiba was someone who could overpower him in everything. Existence, after so many years in the outside world, I don’t know what intelligence collection methods I have learned.

In short, this sentence offended Taki Chiba, and Taki Chiba knew about it, so Taki Chiba killed Nobu, and he did it in a way that was invisible to the ghost.

Warn him not to act rashly.

The implication is that every move you make is under his sight, so don't think about doing anything under his nose.

That is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

If this is the case, then the best thing he can do next is to stand still, maintain the current strategy, sit back and watch the various battles in the village, and then find the right time to accomplish something in one fell swoop.

He still knows the situation in the village now. There are also reports secretly that Uchiha Nobuhiko has also participated in the camp against Konoha during the Chunin Examination. Perhaps, he cannot pay for this Taki Chiba, but this success has made Taki Chiba A man who has lost everything can completely repay Taki Chiba.

I don't have to worry too much about Taki Chiba's energy being too strong. Maybe Taki Chiba will be gone after the chunin exam is over.

Perhaps others regard Taki Chiba as an immortal god, but for him who has never forgotten to investigate and understand Taki Chiba no matter how decadent he is over the years, this person is not out of reach. Even though he is immortal, he also has weaknesses.

During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Uchiha Nobuhiko, whether intentionally or unintentionally, caught his weakness, causing Taki Chiba to lose everything.

No!

It should be said that this Uchiha Nobuhiko is Taki Chiba's weakness.

From the time when Taki Chiba started to become famous, to when he stamped his feet, the entire ninja world would be shocked. In the process, it can be said that he has never suffered a loss, no matter how powerful the opponent was, no matter how high it was. The strong men in hundreds of miles of Taki Chiba all suffered more or less at the hands of Taki Chiba.

Even suffer a big loss.

Some even ate to the point of losing their lives.

However, only one person, only one person, made Taki Chiba suffer.

And he still suffered a big loss.

It wasn't that Danzo didn't notice Taki Chiba's efforts to protect his teacher and the Fourth Hokage, he even felt like he was fighting to the death.

Although Danzo didn't know why Taki Chiba's performance at that time always felt like "the Nine-Tails Rebellion is about to happen", but considering that Taki Chiba had experienced the capture of his teacher before, Taki Chiba's There is nothing wrong with being so nervous at times.

After all, with Hiruzen's attention and training to this boy at that time, this boy should know that the jinchuriki's seal is the most fragile after childbirth and delivery. At this time, even the village asked his teacher to give birth outside. If he didn't know how to protect his teacher closely, Taki Chiba would have died long ago.

At that time, if he hadn't been pinned down by Hiruzen and Yondaime, and had to take action at any time, I'm afraid, Taki Chiba would probably be gone by then.

However, although he did not take action, Uchiha Nobuhiko still destroyed all Taki Chiba's hard-working arrangements one by one. Although Uchiha Nobuhiko was repelled in the end, he seemed to have suffered a little loss. , but compared with Taki Chiba's ending, this loss is not called a loss at all, it should even be called a cost-effective exchange.

After all, Uchiha Nobuhiko was only repelled and did not suffer any injuries.

However, Takichiba lost everything. Not only did he lose the teacher who valued more than his life, but even his team's best friend Uchiha Hirohiko also died in that battle. Even after repelling Uchiha Nobuhiko, Takichiba It can be said that Ye has experienced the most serious near-death injury. In the end, even another close friend of the same team, Hinata Yukina, died trying to save him.

It can be said that this is the biggest defeat that Taki Chiba has ever suffered, who only suffered losses for others.

It was also a real fiasco.

Uchiha Nobuhiko was the only opponent who defeated Taki Chiba miserably.

And looking at the entire Nine-Tails Rebellion, Taki Chiba was always unexpected, and the whole battle seemed to be wandering in the arrangement of Uchiha Nobuhiko. The first move was always taken, and he was almost always in a situation. In the disadvantage of the backhand, all arrangements were either destroyed, or became ineffective due to the situation for some reason. The original airtight plan almost looked like a new ninja who had just entered the battle. Only a flimsy plan can be made.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that Nobuhiko Uchiha is the nemesis of Chiba Taki.

At this time, if Nobuhiko Uchiha joins the current situation in Konoha, what Danzo must do is to use Nobuhiko Uchiha's nemesis effect on Taki Chiba.

The best thing is to kill the two of them in this crisis.

As long as the two of them are killed, there will no longer be the crisis of the "second Uchiha Madara" in the ninja world, and Konoha will no longer have to rely on Taki Chiba. In addition, Taki Chiba will be gone, and the third generation of Hokage will begin to decline. He has been The previous plans and ambitions can then be put into practice.

Therefore, it is very important to know clearly now whether Nobu's death was due to Taki Chiba's warning, other assassins or something else.

After all, whether it is yes or no is related to his next strategic choice.

Moreover, it is a strategic choice that determines his future and the realization of his long-standing ambition.

It can almost be said that at this time, he has stood at the fork of his own destiny. Whether to go left or right depends on whether he can correctly identify the cause of Xin's death this time.

"Um……"

Thinking of this, Danzo's brows were already tightly knitted, his eyes were closed again, and he groaned softly.

This opportunity...

I can’t let it go anymore!

At the same time, such a thought flashed through his mind.

To be honest, under the joint suppression of the Third and Fourth Hokage, although he had no changes in any of his positions, he was already outside the decision-making level, and even Koharu and Mito Kaden who moved to another dormitory made requests. After retirement, Nebu's responsibilities were even more excluded to the extent that he could only do some espionage and provide intelligence and help to the Anbu under the direct control of the Hokage. It can be said that everything he worked hard to build collapsed in just a few days before and after the Fourth Hokage came to power.

When he was young, he was suppressed by Hiruzen Sarutobi. When Hiruzen Sarutobi had physical problems and his control declined, he was suppressed invisible by Taki Chiba. As long as Taki Chiba stayed for another day, he would not be able to move the Nine-Tailed Jinchilla. He has a powerful mind, and if he masters the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, then he will win half of the political struggle in Konoha Village. After the road was blocked, all he could do was wait, and the opportunity to control the Jinchuuriki that had come once in decades was wasted.

Later, not only was he suppressed by Taki Chiba, he was also completely suppressed by the Fourth Hokage who came to power. Everything he had managed for decades was just one step away from being wiped out. Even if it was not wiped out, there would be no trouble, and collapse was imminent.

At that time, he was really frustrated.

He even had the same thoughts as Koharu and Mito Monobu who moved to another dormitory. If it hadn't been for the Nine-Tails Rebellion and that night, he might have retired by now, a lonely person waiting every day like a walking zombie.

However, what awaits is not the opportunity to realize his ambition, but death.

It was precisely because of the Kyuubi Rebellion that it was a blessing in disguise that suddenly, he and his roots seemed to be back on the edge of the decision-making circle, and it only took half a step to regain the power that had been taken away from him.

This time, he, who had always been unlucky, got lucky.

But those days of frustration turned out to be the biggest benefit to him after he regained his ambition. He became calmer, more tolerant, and could see things clearly that he had not been able to see before.

He has learned to look at problems from the position of an "independent person".

But now he can see it clearly.

This Chunin Exam is his only chance!

The current judgment on Xin's death is also the most critical factor in determining his success!
