Chapter 107 - 107 Kumogakure's Conspiracy
Chapter 107 – 107 Kumogakure’s Conspiracy
He feels that the reason of their visit this time is not good, but Sandaime didn't reject it.
It's not because Sandaime didn't want to, but he can't reject it!
After all, these people did not come here as Kumogakure's Shinobi, but came as the Land of Lighting's envoy.
Although they are still peoples from Kumogakure, the meaning is quite different.
If they come as Kumogakure's Shinobi, it is called an invasion. But if they come as the Land of Lighting's envoy, it is a visit.
The visit between countries can't be rejected. After all, it will increase the relationship between the countries.
Therefore, Sandaime must accept this visit.
"I hope that nothing will happen. With Konoha's condition right now…"
Sandaime looks at the bright moon outside the window and his mind starts to drift away.
At the border of the Land of Lighting and the Land of Fire, the envoy of the Land of Lighting is being briefed about his mission.
"Sawamura, on the surface your mission this time is to visit Konoha, but in fact your true mission is to get the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Raikage-sama. Are you coming with us?"
"I can't go, I will be here waiting for your news. It will be good if you can bring someone from Hyuga clan's Main Family. If you can't do it, use your life to bring back the bodies of the Hyuga clan's Main Family member!"
Sawamura is shocked, but he immediately shows his determination.
"Yes! Raikage-sama!"
"Sawamura, this matter is of great importance. It will be hard for you."
"For Kumogakure, these are nothing."
"I'm sorry."
Yondaime Raikage pats Sawamura's shoulder and Sawamura becomes more determined.
Compared to other shinobi village, Kumogakure didn't have a lot of Kekkei Genkai.
Sometimes, Yondaime Raikage is really envious of Konoha.
As Konoha has a lot of Kekkei Genkai and also has a lot of genius.
So this time, Yondaime Raikage is going to get Byakugan and research its secrets.
As for why he wants to get Byakugan instead of Sharingan, there are two reasons for it.
First, Byakugan has a better use in a war than Sharingan, so Yondaime Raikage believes that he should get Byakugan.
The second is that the Uchiha clan live separated from the other villager, so their guards are more strict. Yondaime Raikage does not feel that Sawamura would be able to get inside Uchiha clan compound easily.
So, Yondaime Raikage knows that it is better to get Byakugan rather than Sharingan.
Yondaime Raikage also knows that there is almost no chance to successfully get the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan's Main Family.
Although Konoha is now in a bad condition, it will not be easy for them to rob the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan.
Therefore, their plan is to use the death of Sawamura as an excuse to threaten the war and force the Hyuga clan and Konoha to hand over the body of a Main Family member.
And Sawamura and Yondaime Raikage target is Hyuga Hinata or Hyuga Hiashi!
Sawamura will try to kidnap Hyuga Hinata first, it will be good if it is successful, but if he doesn't succeed, Sawamura will die in the hand of Hyuga Hiashi!
The Yondaime Raikage has great confidence that his plan will succeed.
Because Konoha's condition right now is really weak, and they don't enough strength to withstand the war!
Therefore, whether it is Sandaime or the Hyuga clan, they will compromise!
This visit that is full of conspiracy opens it curtain.
On the next morning, Yondaime Raikage looks at a dozens of people in front of him.
"Raikage-sama, this time, our plan will be successful."
Said a dark-skinned beauty Kunoichi.
"I hope so, otherwise, Sawamura sacrifices will be in vain."
Konoha Village, Hokage Office.
Sandaime sat in a chair, and there more than a dozen people in front of him, they were the backbones of Konoha village. They all had the strength of Elite Jōnin, and Kakashi was also included.
Sandaime smokes his pipe, slowly spit out a smoke ring. After that, he took out a Scroll and said, "This is the Scroll that the messenger eagle sent last night."
The shinobi are surprised when they hear this. After all, the scroll that the messenger eagle sent is usually telling about a major event.
'Is there any major event in the village recently?'
Kakashi was stunned, 'Sure enough, something was going to happen in the village.'
"The content in this Scroll is that envoy from Land of Lighting is coming to Konoha for visit. Shikaku, what do you think about this?"
Nara Shikaku touched his moustache and said, "Sandaime-sama, I think their reason for the visit this time is not good."
Sandaime nodded and said: "Yes, I think so too, but Kumogakure is visiting in the name of the Land of Lighting. We can't refuse it. So, if the envoy arrives, I hope that you all can strengthen the surveillance of the Kumogakure's Shinobi."
"Yes! Hokage-sama!"
"Okay, you can all go now."
Hearing this, everyone starts to leave.
"Kakashi, wait a minute."
Just as Kakashi wanted to leave, Sandaime stops him.
"Sandaime-sama, is there something you need?"
"Kakashi, how is the Cursed Seal's condition on you?" asked Sandaime.
"The Cursed Seal? My body has gotten used to it. As long as I keep a certain Chakra amount, it won't be activated."
Kakashi doesn't quite understand why Sandaime asked about this, but Kakashi still replied truthfully.
"That's good, Jiraiya's troubles have been solved, and now he is on his way back here, so you don't have to worry for long."
Hearing this, Kakashi joyfully said: "That's great then."
"Kakashi, I am afraid that Kumogakure has a purpose for the visit this time, so I hope that you can get into your best condition."
Kakashi then said, "Sandaime-sama, you think…"
Sandaime nodded and said: "Kakashi, I know your strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. You have become really strong. If Kumogakure really do something. I am afraid that we will need your help."
Kakashi then said with a solemn expression. "Sandaime-sama, Konoha is my home, I will naturally protect it."
Hearing Kakashi's assurance, Sandaime showed a smile.
"You are exactly the same as Sakumo. Ok, you can go now."
"Yes!"
Looking at Kakashi leaving, Sandaime sighed.
"The new leaf has grown up, but it is still too young. Konoha still needs time. Peace is hard to come by, I hope Kumogakure will not provoke war again this time."
Although Sandaime thought so, he also knew that this hope was almost impossible to be the realized.
After all, except for planning to do something, Sandaime can't think of any reason for Kumogakure to come to Konoha.
"It looks like I only can wait for this."
Kakashi left the Hokage office and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Others may not know Kumogakure's purpose this time, but Kakashi knows about it.
At this point in time, there is only one explanation for Kumogakure to come to Konoha.
Kumogakure wants to get the Byakugan!
After seeing Konoha's condition right now, Kumogakure knows that they have the upper hand.
"This time there is me. Kumogakure, I won't let you do anything to Konoha!"
