--------------------------------------------------------------
The country of rain.
As the main battlefield of the Second Ninja War.
It has been ravaged by Konoha, Sand Shinobi, and Rock Shinobi in turns.
Although more than ten years have passed.
But the brutal war has caused scars to this small country.
It is still difficult to cure.
The country has been divided for a long time.
Hanzō of the Salamander, the leader of Rain Shinobi Village, has limited energy due to old age and physical decline.
Can only barely hold one acre of one-third of his own land.
Powerless to bring peace to this country in civil strife.
But in recent years, with the rise of a peaceful force-Akatsuki.
Let this country rekindle the hope of peace.
five years ago.
Akatsuki conveyed its willingness to peaceful cooperation to Rain Shinobi Village.
Hanzō of the Salamander, who was initially suspicious, was suspicious of Akatsuki's attempts.
But Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki's organization, came to visit in person.
Let Hanzō of the Salamander feel the sincerity of this young man.
The two parties have gone through long-term consultations and dialogues.
Finally reached a cooperative relationship.
Akatsuki is under the rule of Rain Shinobi Village in name.
The two sides are united and their strength has risen sharply.
The war in the Kingdom of Rain was quickly ended, and the country was reunified!
Because the country of rain is located at the junction of the three countries of the country of fire, the country of wind, and the country of earth.
Location is very important.
For the Allies (Anti-Konoha Alliance).
This is an important node in the blockade of the nation of fire.
On the contrary, for the country of fire.
This is an important point for breaking through the blockade of allies.
Based on their respective strategic intentions, the two sides sent envoys to the country of rain one after another.
This poor little country.
It has once again become a bargaining chip in the game of great powers!
Konoha Shinobi Village.
After five years of economic blockade.
Konoha is caught in the dilemma of internal and external troubles.
"For the Fourth Hokage, the daimyo once again put pressure on Konoha, asking us to resume business with other countries as soon as possible /
Uchiha Fugaku reports.
Konoha provided military protection for the daimyo.
Daimyo provided construction funding for Konoha.
The current blockade policies of various countries have caused serious economic losses to the country of fire.
Daimyo became dissatisfied with Konoha.
"I see, please reply to me and let the daimyo give us a little more time.
Fourth Hokage couldn't help holding his forehead, watching the pile of documents on his desk.
He suddenly felt tired in my heart.
Looking at the sad face of the closest friend in front of me.
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but feel a heartache.
"Don't rush anything. Take a break, Minato.
"Thank you, Fugaku-senpai.
Fourth Hokage managed to squeeze a smile.
See people's hearts over time.
From the initial political alliance, the two have gradually become close friends who can put their hearts to heart.
After Fourth Hokage came to power, he fulfilled his promise.
Greatly improved the treatment of the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Fugaku reciprocated.
Be conscientious and manage the police force and Anbu in an orderly manner.
This allows Fourth Hokage to always have the upper hand in the power struggle with Konoha's senior management.
certainly.
The premise is the root, without participation
"Danzo, what is going on recently?!
Fourth Hokage said solemnly.
In the azure blue pupils, there was a faint glow of unknown light.
Anbu, his direct subordinate, is not a fool either.
In the past five years, a series of weird actions by Root.
It is impossible not to leave any clues!
Uchiha Fugaku gave a solemn expression and took the initiative to move forward a few steps.
Said in a low voice.
"According to the information provided by my informant, Danzo is likely to join forces with Sarutobi Hiruzen to launch a coup!
Fourth Hokage's face changed, and his palms clenched his fists involuntarily.
Staring at him tightly, he asked again.
"The source of the intelligence?"
"Uchiha Yuki."
Fourth Hokage fell silent again.
About this person.
He has tried many times.
Information collected from all aspects.
He is a ninja loyal to Konoha.
But he don't know why.
He always felt that the other's eyes hidden under the glasses didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed.
But this is just his instinct.
There is no suspicious evidence.
"What's wrong? Fourth Hokage?
Uchiha Fugaku asked strangely.
The Informant is a member of the Uchiha clan, and at the same time the pride of the Uchiha clan.
He has always trusted Uchiha Yuki!
.... No, it's nothing, maybe it's just my thinking. "
Namikaze Minato shook his head.
He is not a very suspicious conspirator.
He is more willing to choose to believe in others than unfounded doubt.
"What about those elders?"
Uchiha Fugaku expressed concern and said: "According to the information provided by Yuki. Sarutobi, Shimura, Mito, and the transferees, the four major families, all gathered at the root headquarters.
They are training secretly, preparing to start a civil war
Konoha Civil War!
This is something Fourth Hokage absolutely cannot tolerate!
"Why did the Lord Third Generation want to do such a thing? Even if political opinions are different, as long as we maintain communication, there is always a solution.
A painful expression appeared on Fourth Hokage's face.
This is his master.
With one hand, he supported his benefactor who sat in the position of Hokage.
Now it's a situation where either you die or I live!
"Oh~ this is the cruelty of political struggle!"
Uchiha Fugaku sighed.
He thought that if we continue to let Third Hokage rule, Konoha will continue to suppress the Uchiha clan.
If it's really the day when it's unbearable.
I am afraid that the Uchiha clan will also embark on the coup of no return.
"Fourth Hokage, it's time to make a choice!"
"But the civil war will seriously hurt Konoha's vitality, is there really no second way?"
Fourth Hokage struggled inside.
They are all Konoha's companions, why should they kill each other?
"In order to extinguish the civil war in time, we must act first! At the root, we have Yuki acting as an internal responder, attacking from behind, and it should be possible to quickly bring the Konoha high-level reactionary forces into one.
Uchiha Fugaku vowed to stroke.
