Chapter 103: You Are the Real Darkness in Konoha
In the small forest.
The woman looked in the direction where the figure disappeared.
She did not continue to chase.
At this moment, the moonlight shone on her body.
Her light gray clothes were covered with bright red blood, and she looked particularly horrifying.
"A disciple of Jiraya?"
The woman's pale face and brown eyes flashed with a complicated look. Her body still trembled uncontrollably.
She seemed to see her brother's shadow on the back of that figure.
The child who was determined to become the Hokage.
She heard that Minato also wanted to become the Hokage.
She just did not care.
When she saw the young man's back just now, she suddenly seemed to see the shadow of her deceased brother, Nawaki and Dan.
"Jiraya should be back in a few days. Let's wait for him."
The woman staggered out of the small forest, looking very weak.
She did not expect to meet Minato here.
When she heard the commotion, she thought that the ninjas from Amegakure had come again, so she forcefully ran over.
"Why does Konohagakure have the ninjas from Amegakure?"
This woman used her hand as a support against the tree trunk, not daring to look at the blood on her body. She resisted the feeling of fear and used medical ninjutsu to seal off her senses so that she could not feel the blood flow on her body.
There was not only her blood on her body. Most of it was the blood of others.
Every step she took toward the outside of the forest made her feel particularly strained!
...
Aoba quickly returned to the Anbu's dormitory.
He wasn't sure if the woman had seen him, but he shouldn't have been discovered.
"That was close!"
Aoba exhaled heavily.
After reading Tatsuma's memory, he realized that what happened in the forest was completely different from what he had imagined.
That woman was not a simple existence.
She was one of Konoha Sannin, Tsunade!
According to Tatsuma's memory, Aoba learned many hidden secrets of Danzo.
No one would tell these secrets.
Even Danzo would take the secret away after sealing a bridge.
As for the people of Root, their body was under the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal. They wouldn't tell anyone what they saw or heard.
"Assassinate Tsunade..."
The corner of Aoba's mouth slightly twitched. He never thought that Danzo would send someone to assassinate Tsunade.
According to the information he obtained from Tatsuma's memory.
As the granddaughter of the First Hokage, Tsunade had a special identity and status. It was a great threat to Danzo in getting the Hokage position. Adding the prestige brought by the name of Konoha Sannin.
It was very likely that she would become the new Hokage in the future.
This was something that Danzo did not want to see!
For now, Danzo simply did not want anyone in the village who could shake the Third Hokage's position to appear.
He did not do this to protect the Third Hokage but to protect himself.
If there were too many outstanding existences in the village, along with the rise in strength and fame, the Third Hokage would give up his position for the biggest benefits. That way, it would not take long for a new Hokage to appear.
It was not that Danzo did not want a new Hokage to appear, but he did not wish the new Hokage to be someone else other than him.
As a result, anyone with the competitiveness to become the Hokage. They were all potential enemies in Danzo's heart!
"As expected of Danzo. A real eye-opener. Even I didn't dare to make up such a story when throwing a pot. You are the real darkness in Konoha!"
Aoba saw his recent plan in Tatsuma's memory.
Tsunade intends to leave Konohagakure.
This would leave Danzo's line of sight, and it was easy for things that Danzo could not control to happen.
Therefore.
Danzo decided to kill Tsunade before she left.
This assassination plan started half a month ago.
Danzo secretly contacted Hanzo and borrowed three elite Jonins to cooperate with Danzo.
In return, Danzo would constantly provide information about Konohagakure to Hanzo.
His Root Ninjas then secretly helped three Amegakure elite Jonins sneak into Konohagakure. After careful planning, they pretended to expose their whereabouts in front of Tsunade and led her into the small forest.
The entire process of the plan was personally guided by Tatsuma.
Only...
Tatsuma did not expect the three elite ninjas from Amegakure, coupled with the blood bag they had prepared beforehand, to have not beaten Tsunade, who was trembling and sweating all over.
This woman was too strong!
In the end, left with no other choice. Tatsuma, who was hiding in the dark, took action to deal with the battlefield.
He took advantage of the time when Tsunade took a deep breath to cut off the head of a dead Ame Ninja and sprayed blood on Tsunade's body.
The moment this blood splashed on Tsunade's body, she let out a painful scream.
This scream.
It was the voice that Aoba heard!
Tsunade knelt on the ground, her hands holding her face and her eyes wide open. She showed a frightening posture and was on the verge of fainting.
Tatsuma did not attack Tsunade.
This was part of the plan.
The person who needs to kill Tsunade must be a ninja from Amegakure.
If the ninja from Amegakure did not kill Tsunade, then the assassination could be treated as a failure.
Konohagakure's ninja could not do it.
Otherwise, it is easy to leave evidence of crimes that will give others a sense of truth.
While Tsunade was in a mess, Tatsuma quickly piled up the Ame Ninjas corpse, poured a bottle of Corpse Dissolving Water, and then quickly left.
These corpses must not be left behind.
The assassination of Tsunade was not a trivial matter without influence.
One must know.
Tsunade was the granddaughter of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama!
If the memories of these Ninjas were read, then the plan would be exposed instantly.
Just as Tatsuma left.
Something even more unexpected happened again.
He found Aoba, who was exercising in the dark night.
He did not know how much Aoba had seen.
Did he witness what had just happened?
However, it didn't matter if he saw it or not.
Aoba had to die!
He would rather kill wrongly than let it go! As Danzo's right-hand man, Tatsuma was very clear about what kind of action he had to follow.
The moment Tatsuma saw Aoba, he decided to kill him!
This was a convenient thing to do.
For him, killing this kind of sickly Genin was even easier than killing a chicken!
...
"If I didn't read Tatsuma's memory, I wouldn't know that Tsunade had an assassination before leaving the village."
Aoba increasingly felt that Danzo was a sinister and ruthless person. If the assassination mission failed, he would immediately deal with the corpse without leaving any evidence.
For Tsunade, this assassination could be said to be the revenge of Amegakure.
Even if Tsunade made a fuss in the future, her target would still be Amegakure and would not fall on Danzo.
"Let's see what Danzo has done!"
Aoba sat on the iron bed and closed his eyes. On this night that he decided not to sleep, the basic ninja documentary that belonged to the first perspective of Tatsuma played in his mind.
