The Shadow of Konoha

Fortunately, the doctor was just panting a little while speaking, and then he continued, "But your condition is not that serious, because compared to when you came to the hospital, in just a few hours, the marks on your body have faded a little, so they will disappear soon."

Could things be that simple? Hanyu showed a skeptical expression. "If you are still worried about your condition, then my advice to you is that you should control your chakra as soon as possible and use your own energy to resist external invasion. This is the most orthodox way." After noticing Hanyu's concerns, the doctor gave his own advice.

"I understand." Having said this, Hanyu could only nod. Chakra, ninja, all of this is too unfamiliar. For Hanyu, he does know something about Naruto and the ninja world, but the source of this knowledge is only the comics he read during his teenage years in his previous life. Let alone the accuracy of his memory at this moment, can the content displayed on the paper and the amount of text in the script be compared with the real amount of information in the world? Therefore, Hanyu knew that his memory could only be used as a reference, and not as a basis for his understanding of the world.

"You can rest assured in the hospital. After all, a rare specimen like you is very valuable for research." The doctor said half-jokingly. Medical ninjas are the busiest type of ninjas. He couldn't stay here to chat with Hanyu all the time. But before he turned and left, he seemed to remember something and took out a small glass bottle from his pocket.

"By the way, this is the implant that was removed from your body earlier. You can keep it as a souvenir." Having said that, the doctor left the ward.

Hanyu stared at the glass bottle in a daze. The bottom of the bottle was covered with a layer of tiny blades. The big ones were as big as a fingernail, while the small ones were just the shape of a cut nail. Looking at this thing, he suddenly realized something – when he was suddenly attacked by the Second Hokage, he was carrying the ninja tools belonging to the rebel ninjas Kinkaku and Ginkaku. He could no longer remember the names of those things, but he knew that they could be traced back to the ancestors of the ninja world.

Whether it is the gourd or the kitchen knife, they were all made and used by the Six Paths Sage. Perhaps it was due to metal fatigue or because they were so old that the warranty period had expired, but the two items were shattered by the Second Hokage's Water Break Wave...and in this world, there is a law: Anything and any event related to the Six Paths Sage is either extremely good or the worst. At that time, Hanyu was covered with broken pieces of ninja tools, and the successive owners of the ninja tools always liked to cut and fill them with all kinds of things...

In short, at this time, Hanyu was no longer worried about the problem of chakra erosion, but the problem of "cross infection." Thinking of this, Hanyu gently tore off a bandage on his body. The tiny wound under the bandage also had the same black marks of erosion.

Is it really like that? Hanyu knew that things would not be that simple, but at this point, he could only hope that things would be as the doctor had just said, and that these marks would disappear naturally in no time. His worries were not groundless but well-founded. However, the problem was that what he was worried about was too far into the future. The so-called crisis would not only happen in the future but also right now.

Shortly after the doctor left the ward, another unexpected visitor arrived.

"Hanyu Yu... That's your name, right?"

"You are..." Hanyu recognized the identity of the young face in front of him, but he had to suppress his surprise and pretend that he knew nothing about this person – Shimura Danzo, the shadow under the firelight of Konoha. Of course, when he was young, he might not be able to achieve the level he did later, but it must be said that his face looked a little uncomfortable.

"Shimura Danzo." The other party said his name, and then explained the purpose of his visit, "I have to say, Hanyu, your arrival and the news of the Second Daike are important enough for Konoha and the entire ninja world."

"No, no, it's not that important..." Shimura Danzo interrupted his meaningless modesty and said, "I am not complimenting you. I am simply stating a fact. At this time during the Ninja World War, a major event that could affect the war situation occurred. Whether it was the alliance between Kumogakure and Konoha, or the further deterioration of the relationship between the two sides due to the deaths of the Hokage and the Raikage, these were major events that could influence the world situation. Now, except for you, no one knows what happened at the alliance ceremony."

"Not only the news about the Hokage, but also the news about the Raikage, and even the news about the attacker, the traitorous Raikage, Kinkaku and Ginkaku. This is the information that all ninja villages want to get... This information is in your hands."

The more Hanyu listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but frown, "Wait, except for the whereabouts of the Hokage, I don't know anything else you said."

The fact is what Hanyu said, but such an explanation seemed pale and powerless to Danzo. He just continued, "No, as long as Konoha thinks you know everything, you know everything in the eyes of other ninja villages... When you bring back the news about the Hokage, the development of the situation is no longer up to you."

"I am just a nobody..."

"Kumogakure, Kirigakure, Sand Village, etc., whether in war or peace, Konoha will always send spies to hostile and potential hostile villages. Similarly, other villages will also send spies to Konoha. No matter how strict the defense is, this is something that cannot be prevented."

"In other words, I have become a bait without knowing it?" Hanyu said.

At this point, Danzo's purpose has been clearly revealed.

"In order to find out what happened at the alliance ceremony, determine the relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure, and further speculate on the future trend of the war, the spies lurking in Konoha from other villages will attack me, the 'insider', right?"

The development of the situation was beyond Hanyu's expectations after all. Shimura Danzo did not answer his question directly, but said, "There is no reason for the spies to turn a blind eye to such important intelligence, even if they face the risk of being exposed... And correspondingly, when these spies begin to concentrate their activities, it is also the perfect time for Konoha to clean them up."

There was an inexplicable light in his eyes, and the tone of his voice did not suggest that he was discussing anything. He was just announcing a "predetermined plan."
