The slap in the face given by Kaito did not make Danzo angry. Without anger, there was naturally no impulse, and without impulse, he did not propose to the Hokage to declare war on the Land of Hot Springs.
However, if he doesn't declare war, Danzo has other means.
As a figure known as the Dark One of the Ninja World, Danzo never likes to confront others head-on. Sowing discord, framing others, and killing people with borrowed knives are his favorite choices.
Danzo has already discovered the location of the Hidden Uzumaki Village, so he just needs to hand over this location to those who need it, and those people will naturally help him deal with this trouble.
The Iwagakure Village, as the culprit that destroyed the Uzumaki Village, has an irreconcilable feud with the Uzumaki clan. As long as the Uzumaki clan exists, they will have to worry about the Uzumaki clan's revenge.
There are also the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village. They once launched a surprise attack on the Uzumaki Village with the goal of destroying the Uzumaki Village. Although they failed in the end, they are also the mortal enemies of the Uzumaki clan.
Especially the Hidden Cloud Village, even the Third Raikage died in the Uzumaki Village, and they hate the Uzumaki clan so much.
In the world of ninja, besides profit being the main driving force, hatred is also a very important driving force.
Unlike the world dominated by countries, ninjas are a violent group. Even though they have extremely strong combat capabilities, they are still a violent group and are easily guided and manipulated by the power of emotions.
By the way, even national-level interest groups have been influenced by populist ideas, let alone such small violent organizations.
Even if a leader is very rational, he or she often cannot control the situation.
After all, although the ninja village is small, it is also full of hills.
The situation in Konoha Village, where the Hokage has the final say, is actually a special case among the five major ninja villages.
There is a parliamentary system in the Sand Village, with all kinds of wrangling and constraints. Later, a faction became unhappy with Gara, the Kazekage, and sent people to assassinate him.
The situation in the Hidden Mist Village is full of contradictions, especially the exclusion of the bloodline limit families, which has made the divisions within the Hidden Mist Village very obvious.
In the Iwagakure Village, village's Four-Tails Jinchuriki, actually left the village just because he had different opinions with the Iwagakure, and he has not yet been listed as a traitor.
The original situation of the Hidden Cloud Village was the best, but since the death of the Third Raikage, it has been divided and some factions have been established.
Therefore, Danzo's methods are really very effective against these ninja villages.
The first to take action was the Iwagakure Village.
In the territory of Tang Country, at the foot of a mountain.
"This is it." said an Iwagakure ninja.
"Sure enough, there are traces of barrier techniques." An Iwagakure said, and began to form seals with his hands.
Along with a rumbling sound, the mountain in front began to collapse, revealing a hidden tunnel inside.
Originally, this tunnel was hidden by a barrier, and these rock hermits were unable to remove the barrier. However, they did not need to break the barrier. Instead, they directly modified the mountain and destroyed the barrier at the entrance of the cave.
The three rock ninjas entered the tunnel and continued down. Soon they could see the light ahead, and at the same time, they could feel a burning sensation and a pungent smell.
A bright light appeared before their eyes. When they walked out of the tunnel, they saw a huge cave.
Below the cave, a river of red lava flows, and above the lava, a narrow stone bridge is a hundred meters long.
The three Iwashi Ninjas looked at each other and walked onto the stone bridge.
The stone bridge was so narrow that only one person could pass through it, so the three of them formed a row and moved forward cautiously. In such a restricted environment, if they were ambushed, it would be a desperate situation.
Unfortunately, what you worry about is bound to come true.
When they reached the middle of the stone bridge, the three Iwagakure ninjas suddenly discovered that there was a barrier in front of them.
At this moment they were on the stone bridge. If they destroyed the stone bridge like they did at the entrance to the cave, they would have no place to stand.
Even if they used the earth escape technique to create a foothold, they would not be able to do so because the stone bridge was about fifty meters high, a distance that was beyond their capabilities.
"Retreat and think of a solution." The three of them thought so in their hearts, and after consulting each other, they began to retreat.
However, it is easy to get in but difficult to get out.
As early as when they entered the cave, the spirit rat that was monitoring the place through the Ninja Rat knew about it.
Dark green poisonous gas spread from the tunnel, and the hundreds of meters long tunnel was filled with toxins. The three Rock Ninjas felt dizzy and nauseous just after entering. They had no choice but to retreat back to the cave, but the shadows around them had already begun to wriggle and surrounded them.
Faced with the poison and shadows, the three Rock Ninjas had no resistance and soon turned into three corpses.
The bodies of the three Chunins are rare research materials, and they will soon appear on Tsunade or her apprentice's operating table.
Eighteen years have passed since Tsunade surrendered to the Kaito. During these ten years, she not only conducted various researches on her own, but also selected some talented people from the Shadow Guards for training.
These trained assistants and apprentices not only provided great help in the research process, but also made significant contributions to the development of drugs in the Kingdom of Hot Springs.
Nowadays, the country of soup has not only aphrodisiacs, ecstasy pills and other stimulant drugs in its pharmaceutical industry, but also drugs for treating many diseases, which dominate the world's pharmaceutical industry.
The death of the three Iwagakure ninjas was not a big deal, but the information they passed back through summoning before their death made the Iwagakure Village and Danzo understand that what they had discovered was not the hiding place of the Uzumaki clan at all, but just one of the three burrows of a cunning rabbit.
Even so, this is at least an important clue to the end, and it is impossible to give up the pattern.
In order to prevent the Uzumaki Hidden Sect from destroying this passage, Danzo sent his subordinates to explore again.
And because this journey was bound to be full of dangers, Danzo did not use his own confidants, but only used some cannon fodder to explore the way.
In fact, not all the people in the Root are completely loyal to Danzo. Although some of them have been brainwashed by Danzo, most of them have to submit to Danzo due to the situation or the control of the sealing technique.
Among them, a large part of them were not good people in the first place, and were caught by Danzo, and finally had no choice but to join the Root and become Danzo's lackeys.
They had no loyalty at all, so when Uzumaki Kushina captured them, removed the seals that controlled them, and then cast new control seals on them, these guys simply turned against us.
