Chapter 488 The 3rd Hokage leads the team
The mission changes from investigating and treating villagers to rescuing Tsunade.
"Rescue Lady Tsunade at all costs."
The Fourth Hokage's face showed determination. At the same time, according to the relevant information provided by the rope tree, it can be determined that there is a group of extremely powerful enemies in that lake. Ordinary ninjas used to give it away for nothing, so the Fourth Hokage is ready to mobilize A group of elite ninjas, and then let the strong ones who have reached the level of shadow personally lead the team to ensure that the rescue is foolproof.
After the Fourth Hokage's order was given, Konoha began to move.
The person leading the team this time was the Third Hokage, who took action personally and must rescue Tsunade.
In addition, the Uchiha Uchiha in the lake exhaled a breath of turbid air and released natural energy at high intensity, which put a burden on his body.
His efforts were not unrewarded. He could feel the energy of the three-tailed chakra attracted to him increasing. Even ordinary ninjas could feel the evil of the tailed beast chakra.
Kakuzu teleported to the other party's side, holding a paper document in his hand, and said directly:
"The documents have been completed. We bribed a group of nobles to refuse visits from Konoha ninjas within their territory."
"This will solve our worries. Next, we need to speed up."
Uchiha Uranium did not look at the document, but crossed his legs on the ground and rested on the spot for a moment.
"We must not give it to Konoha from Tsunade. After all, we need to use her to delay time or exchange for certain benefits."
Regarding their tailed beast collection plan, Uchiha Uranium looked solemn. At this moment, several more members of the Akatsuki organization came to the scene and reported what they had just seen:
"Sir, we found traces of Konoha ninjas at the edge of the lake, and they are investigating our whereabouts."
It means that the other party bypassed the nobles' orders and came directly to this lake. After all, their capture of Tsunade was equivalent to touching the bottom line of Konoha. Uchiha frowned slightly and ordered the ninja beside him:
"Find the person in charge of the other party's mission. I want to talk to the Konoha commander in person."
Seeing that the tailed beasts in the lake were about to gather successfully, he didn't want to fall short at the last moment.
"Yes!"
The Third Hokage, who led the team in, felt the changes in this place only after arriving here. There were terrifying monsters everywhere.
"I didn't expect that natural energy would have such a big impact on the environment. Everyone, be careful of the monsters born here."
Since the Third Hokage came in, they were alert and looked into the distance. Because the lake was relatively large, they did not dare to conduct a rash search before they were sure of the specific location of the enemy.
It's a pity that they don't know their whereabouts yet and have already been exposed. Since experiencing the last situation, Uchiha Uranium has sent a large number of Akatsuki members to hide in the reeds to monitor every move of the entire lake. In addition, they There is the power of the curse seal in the body. Under this high-intensity natural energy, it is guaranteed that one's body will not mutate.
Crossing a patch of reeds, the Third Hokage suddenly saw a dark shadow. He was about to send people to encircle and suppress it. The other party took the initiative to appear. All the ninjas present took out their kunai to respond to the enemy's sudden attack. However, the other party did not attack with tentacles. Instead, they held a kunai in their hands. A letter directly stating Uchiha Uranium’s instructions:
"According to your instructions, the Third Hokage should be the commander of the team. We are unwilling to let things become irreversible and specially invite you to the negotiation area."
The other party's behavior was beyond the expectations of the Third Hokage. I originally thought that tough measures were needed to confront the opponent head-on, and then take the opportunity to rescue Tsunade, but I did not expect that they took the initiative to find a peaceful solution.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, the Third Hokage took the invitation letter into his hands and understood that being able to find this place meant that their whereabouts had been exposed. As for the ninja who was delivering the letter, there was little point in leaving him here.
After the other party left, a ninja next to the Third Hokage said proactively:
"Sandaime-sama, do we want to go there?"
Because it is somewhat different from the original plan of the Fourth Hokage, and it is also accompanied by risks.
"It cannot be ruled out that this letter is a bait, trying to lure us into a certain place and then annihilate us in one fell swoop."
The three fire shadows showed hesitation in their eyes, and at the same time they expressed another thought in their hearts:
"It may also mean that this matter is true. The other party is unwilling to conflict with us. They stay in this lake and have ulterior secrets. It is obvious that our existence affects their plans, so they use the latest Negotiate with us in a safe way.”
As expected of a person at the top of the Hokage faction, the Third Hokage pointed out the key point to the point.
Two roads appeared in front of them, and they needed to try which one was right. Finally, the third generation issued an order and said:
"A small group of people are hiding in the dark, and the other people go with me to the place invited by the other party. What conspiracy and conspiracy they have, we will understand it when we get there."
Although Tsunade was captured, which put Konoha at a disadvantage, as one of the five great ninja villages, Konoha must have corresponding tolerance. They have the ability to rescue Tsunade and are not afraid of the other party's machinations.
Konoha's actions in the lake are all under the control of Uchiha Uchiha, and messages are sent to his hands one by one. Regarding the caution of the Third Hokage, Uchiha Uranium does not care about the other party's little thoughts.
The reason why he invited the other party to sit at the negotiation table to deal with the problem was not because he was worried about Konoha discovering this place, nor was he afraid that the other party would send ninjas to target him.
Uchiha Uranium is just delaying time. If it cannot be delayed by normal means, then it can only use war. But at that time, the plan will be advanced, and even the things in Iwagakure Village will be found out.
"The Third Hokage is really old and timid in doing things."
Looking at the information in front of him, Kakuzu had a trace of ridicule on his face. The hero of the ninja back then was no longer the same as before.
"He is indeed old."
Perhaps it was because he had experienced three great ninja wars, and was finally betrayed by the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and even his basic courage had been lost.
The two people's evaluation of the Third Hokage was getting lower and lower, and next to them stood Tsunade. The corners of her eyes couldn't help but twitch, and she really didn't treat her as an outsider.
But there is no other way. With a group of ninjas gathered around him, it can be seen from here how strong the opponent's hands are.
These ninjas are the most elite personnel, wearing black clothes and masks, and the lowest chakra energy emitted from their bodies are jounin.
"Tsunade, please don't speak during the upcoming negotiations. After all, if you affect my judgment, it will have bad consequences."
