552 Who Agrees? Who Objects?
In the following time, people came to Konoha one after another, including visiting groups from other ninja villages, and even young ninjas. Konoha's chunin exam is open to all major ninja villages, and there are also five major ninja villages. It can be said that it is extremely grand to participate in the Kage-level examination. All the genin participating in the exam want to perform well and gain the attention of the village.
Since the number of people who came to Konoha exceeded imagination, the ANBU's work became busier, because no one knew whether there were people with evil intentions hidden among these people, and in recent days, some unscrupulous rumors began to spread in the village. Good remarks, the keen Anbu class smelled it, and they became a little nervous.
In order to relieve the pressure on the village, Danzo asked the third generation Hokage for instructions, and his roots were responsible for part of the security work. The third generation thought about it for a while and quickly agreed.
At the same time, as Sunagakure, the closest ally to Konoha, there were particularly many people coming this time, and they also allocated part of their manpower to cooperate with Konoha Anbu to patrol and guard.
Because of the upcoming Chuunin Exams and the Five Kage Conference, Konoha has become more lively than usual. A little gossip has actually promoted the friendship between the alliances. Everyone is eager to show their friendliest side. People at the bottom There was also a cheerful smile on his face, and everything looked so friendly.
At this time, Tang Hao, who was staying at home, had just sent Kakashi and Kai away.
The sudden rumors were somewhat detrimental to Tang Hao's situation, and Kai and Kakashi were caught off guard. Although they didn't get along with Tang Hao for a long time, they still had a good relationship. Out of friendship between friends, they came here to visit. , but also to confirm the authenticity of the rumors.
"It doesn't matter, I know what's going on."
Tang Hao entertained them briefly, seemingly unaffected, and Kakashi and Kai left.
"Kakashi, do you think those rumors are true? I don't think so." Kai frowned and said while walking on the road.
Kakashi was silent, and he didn't think it was the same, and with Tang Hao's strength and status, if he wanted to be Hokage, he didn't need to use extreme methods. He just needed to disclose his past to the public, and it would take another year or two. As time goes by, the popularity will increase, and the position of Hokage will be almost within reach. After all, the third generation is really old.
"These rumors are a bit unusual, and they always feel like they are done deliberately."
Kakashi said solemnly, facing these sudden rumors, he instinctively thought of some things in the past. His father originally only made a small mistake, but suddenly, a lot of rumors appeared in the village. The unfavorable rumors about him were almost identical the two times.
He had a vague feeling that there was a mastermind secretly controlling all of this.
"Anyway, let's be careful."
"That's all. I hope it won't affect those children."
…
The time for the Chunin Exams is getting closer and closer, and the young ninjas are full of expectations for the future. No one is aware of the undercurrent hidden under this lively appearance. It is at this time that the Five Shadows Tournament begins.
When the Third Hokage led Tang Hao into the meeting room, everyone present was slightly stunned.
At this moment, all the people who could enter this room were high-level officials from each village. Some of them had even lived in Konoha for several days. They could smell the undercurrent that most people couldn't detect. Logically speaking, given Tang Hao's current situation, , regardless of whether those rumors are true or false, the best thing for the third generation is to temporarily put him under house arrest and wait for this matter to pass. Unexpectedly, it will still happen as scheduled.
In other words, are those rumors false?
The Fourth Kazekage lowered his head, his eyes flickering.
He had previously contacted Shatiao Aige and learned about Tang Hao's coup plot, coupled with the rumors that were spreading, which convinced him. After all, these rumors together, whether true or false, would make the three generations suspicious, as if they were ingrained in their hearts. A thorn in it cannot be removed or digested. With these rumors, Tang Hao's situation will become more and more unfavorable. In the end, he will be like a madman who is forced to a dead end. Even if he has no idea of a coup, he will have to carry out a coup.
This convinced the Fourth Kazekage that there were three forces in Konoha, one was the Third Generation, one was Tang Hao, and the other was Tang Hao's enemies. Those rumors were obviously started by the third force, and their methods Even he had to admire his cleverness.
These three forces are fighting openly and secretly in Konoha, so his and Orochimaru's plan will go more smoothly.
This is how it should be...
But at this moment, it seems that there is still harmony between Sandai and Tang Hao, and there is no hidden anger at all. What is going on? Could it be that there was no so-called third force from the beginning, but that Tang Hao and the Third Hokage joined forces to sing a double act and want to fish?
Thinking of this, the Fourth Kazekage couldn't help but feel palpitations in his heart and felt a little hesitant.
Because he was thinking about something on his mind, the Fourth Kazekage didn't even realize that the meeting had begun. When he raised his head again, he only heard the Third Hokage say to Tang Hao, "About the extraterritorial evil spirits, please explain."
"Okay." Tang Hao nodded, held up the draft he had prepared a long time ago, faced everyone present, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "Extraterritorial evil spirits, the first thing I want to correct is that after ten years of investigation, they In fact, they are creatures from alien planets called star beasts..."
About half an hour later, Tang Hao spoke truthfully, answered questions from some people present, and finally concluded, "In short, the existence of star beasts may threaten the safety of the entire ninja world. At this point, I feel We should put aside the grudges of the past and deal with this external threat first. Who is in favor? Who is against?"
After the words fell, Tang Hao looked around at everyone present.
"I..." Danzo took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and spoke slowly.
Tang Hao looked down at him.
"I think it makes sense."
"Thank you, Lord Danzo, for your approval." Tang Hao smiled slightly.
"I agree." Then, the Fourth Raikage was the first to raise his hand.
Others were somewhat surprised when they saw it. After all, since the end of the Third Ninja War, even if there were occasional frictions in other villages, it was not a big deal. However, a war broke out between Kumogakure and Konoha, and both sides wanted to fight. An important figure died, and the relationship between the two villages was at its worst. Unexpectedly, Yunyin would be the first to agree.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising. After all, two of Kumogakure’s tailed beasts were captured, and a Jinchuuriki died. Such a loss would make anyone feel heartbroken. Among these people here, the Fourth Raikage is the opposite star. The beast's hatred is probably the deepest.
Thinking of the heavy losses in Yunyin Village, a few people also secretly felt joyful.
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree too."
Afterwards, those who had the right to speak expressed their opinions one by one.
Although it was the Five Kage Conference in name, it was not only the five major ninja villages that actually referred to the conference, but also Konoha's allies and some other villages. However, because they were weak and weak, they had little say.
Although there are indeed some people who are happy about what happened to Kumogakure Village, but since the target of the star beasts is the tailed beasts, who can guarantee that their tailed beasts and jinchūriki will not be attacked? Taking the lead from Konoha and Kumogakure, they certainly don't need to sing the opposite tune at this time, especially those small villages. Not only do they have no objections, but they are more willing to form an alliance like this.
Anyway, when the Star Beast appears, it will always be the ninjas from the big village who are carrying it in front, and those from the small village can just shout 666 from behind.
The Five Shadows meeting ended successfully, and everyone gradually left the conference room and returned to the resting place.
Sunagakure resting place.
The Fourth Kazekage stayed in the house for a while, and the more he thought about it, the less at ease he felt. He wasn't worried about the Star Beast now, since it hadn't hit his home yet, but it was the attitude of Tang Hao and the Third Hokage today that made him a little suspicious.
After a while, the Fourth Kazekage disguised himself a little and slipped out quietly.
At the same time, Shatiao Aige closed his clairvoyant eyes, turned to look at Tang Hao who was playing with his mobile phone next to him, and said with a smile, "He's out."
"He's looking for Orochimaru, right?" Tang Hao raised his head and shifted his gaze from the phone to Shajo Aige, "This guy is very suspicious. He will definitely feel uneasy about the attitude of the third generation and I today. Only Orochimaru Only in this way can he soothe his wounded heart, but unfortunately...he may never come back after leaving."
"Then, the Sunagakure ninja will be controlled by Orochimaru." Sajo Aige continued.
Tang Hao smiled and nodded.
In his original plan, the fourth generation Feng Ying was the mantis that preyed on cicadas, but after all, he, Tang Ritian, was not a living person. At most, he only had a whimsical imagination and no wisdom in planning.
It's like a new writer. Although he has excellent ideas, his writing skills are not good enough and his rhythm is not good enough. Even if he writes it by force, he can only write a good beginning. In the middle, he can't control it, and then the whole book will fall apart. It collapsed, and in the end it was either a eunuch or a mess.
But if the person who came up with the idea was a master with a strong pen, it would make for a very interesting story.
Therefore, when perfecting the plan, Tang Hao handed over all the layout to Kaguya. In order to make the plan unfold more smoothly, the Fourth Kazekage, an indecisive person, was sacrificed by Kaguya as an abandoned son. .
"At least, with Orochimaru's character, once the plan starts, he will never be unable to stop, unless he falls at the finish line." Tang Hao smiled, "Helping Orochimaru now is also helping ourselves."
In short, Kaguya played a very key role in this conspiracy, and at the same time deepened everyone's bond, allowing the flower of hope to bloom, which is gratifying.
Then, Tang Hao lowered his head and looked at the phone again.
Fairy Queen: I have entered the Land of Fire and will arrive in Konoha tomorrow.
Fairytale Witch: On the way.
Favorite Gutai: Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Inarigaki, Deidara and Scorpion are with me.
All Might: Are you ready?
The corner of Tang Hao's mouth curled up. The curtain had been opened and the actors had all arrived. The show would start soon.
