After the desire subsided and rationality returned, Chiba Emi finally remembered the Third Hokage's words when he rejected her before work. It seemed to be different from the current Hokage.
The beautiful woman propped herself up on the sofa with one hand, slightly raising her upper body, and looked at Kenshi curiously.
Hiruzen-nii… Hearing this address, Kenshi shook his head. The Third Hokage was still good at playing games.
He smiled and said, "I come when I want to come, and I do what I want to do. Do you have a problem with that?"
"No problem." The beautiful secretary leaned back on Kenshi's chest again, her breath like orchids. She said softly, "Then… will Hiruzen-nii come again in the future?"
Kenshi smiled, "I will. I'll come every night to feed you."
Even if I don't come now, my Lightning Release clone will come. I'll make sure you get pregnant with my son, so I can have another spare body.
Kenshi added in his heart.
He was very satisfied with the body of his son in the Root base. He would be happy to have a few more spare bodies.
The reason why Chiba Emi recognized Kenshi as the Third Hokage was naturally the effect of genjutsu.
With Kenshi's current genjutsu ability, it was easy for him to make Chiba Emi see him as the Third Hokage. His chakra could even continuously influence Chiba Emi without anyone noticing.
Because Kenshi had changed his genjutsu chakra to be the same as Chiba Emi's, and the chakra fluctuations emitted were also the same.
In this way, even in the eyes of the Byakugan, Kenshi's genjutsu chakra was the same as Chiba Emi's chakra.
The same chakra, naturally, no one would suspect that Chiba Emi had been put under genjutsu.
Even Chiba Emi herself wouldn't notice.
In this way, Kenshi had the capital to do whatever he wanted.
A night of kindness repaid a hundred days of favor.
A happy and busy night passed, and a new day dawned.
The Hokage's secretary got up early, not even having slept, and went to work.
"Remember, don't reveal anything that happened in this room. Don't mention it when you're alone with me. In the future, act the same way you always have outside."
On the sofa, Kenshi said to Chiba Emi, the Hokage's secretary, who was about to leave for work.
Chiba Emi smiled sweetly and said, "I know, Hiruzen-nii."
As soon as Chiba Emi left, her seductive gaze instantly became serious. She concealed everything that had happened last night.
After the beautiful woman left, Kenshi also left.
He traveled underground, quickly reaching the Sarutobi clan's territory.
Last night, he had already found the location of the Sarutobi clan through his perception of the Third Hokage.
It was still early, and many members of the Sarutobi clan were still in bed.
Beneath the peaceful family, there were underground rooms everywhere. It wasn't just the Sarutobi clan. All the way here, Kenshi had discovered that there were many secret rooms under the residences of many clans.
Each secret room had corresponding sealing jutsu incantations engraved on it, which served to strengthen the walls, preventing them from being controlled by others' Earth Release, and also served as an early warning.
But none of this could stop Kenshi.
Kenshi, whose body was spatialized, ignored these sealing jutsu just as he ignored the sensory barrier. He entered each secret room to check, without being discovered.
Soon.
Kenshi found the Sealing Jutsu scroll in the secret room under the Third Hokage's study.
After opening it and taking a look, confirming that it was the Sealing Jutsu scroll, Kenshi put it into his Black Water space and then returned to Chiba Emi's apartment.
The Third Hokage, unaware that his Sealing Jutsu scroll had been taken, was looking at the intelligence from the Mist Village that he hadn't finished reading last night, his brow furrowed.
"Hizoku, have Danzō come here."
"Yes."
A voice rang out in the darkness. The ANBU ninja who had received the order had already left.
The Third Hokage leaned back. Huh… the familiar feeling of being surrounded didn't come.
He turned his head in surprise. The fiery secretary who would always come quickly behind him and surround him with her generous bosom when he leaned back was not there. Instead, she was standing aside, playing the role of a secretary.
"Is it an illusion?"
"It feels like Emi is even more captivating, but her eyes are no longer moist."
A flicker of doubt crossed the Third Hokage's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. The situation Konoha was facing now left him with no time to spare.
Soon, Danzō arrived.
Chiba Emi automatically walked out, closing the door behind her.
When Danzō came, he would inevitably have secret missions to discuss that she couldn't hear. She was used to it.
In the office, the Third Hokage asked Danzō to look at the intelligence from the Mist Village first.
"So fast… no, this… how is this possible?"
After reading the intelligence, Danzō was completely dumbfounded. He felt that his previous understanding had been overturned.
Two years ago, the Land of Water's Daimyō's mansion was wiped out, and the Third Mizukage of the Mist Village was killed by a mysterious person. The entire Land of Water and the Mist Village fell into chaos.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the Second Shinobi World War had just ended, and all the major villages needed time to recover, plus the Land of Water, located in the ocean, was notoriously difficult to invade, the Rain Country had already been besieged by the other five great nations.
Even without the other great nations besieging it, in theory, the Mist Village's strength should have been greatly weakened due to the chaos in the Rain Country.
But the reality was that six months after the Third Mizukage's death, Yagura Karatachi, the Three-Tails Jinchūriki who could perfectly control the Tailed Beast, used his absolute strength to end the chaos in the Mist Village and ascended to the seat of the Fourth Mizukage.
Up to this point, everything was normal.
Then, things became incomprehensible to Danzō.
The major nobles of the Rain Country were fighting tooth and nail to seize the Daimyō's mansion. They had no time to spare for the Mist Village, and they stopped their financial support for the Mist Village.
After the ninja village era began, the noble groups of the five great nations had long reached an agreement: nobles' affairs were handled by nobles, and ninjas couldn't interfere.
Otherwise, they would return to the chaotic Warring States period, where the Daimyōs of each country, in order to avoid being assassinated by ninjas, could only frantically pay money to hire ninjas to attack each other.
Now, they only needed to allocate some financial appropriations every year to sit back and relax, which saved the Daimyōs and nobles of each country a lot of money.
So, even though the major nobles of the Rain Country were fighting tooth and nail, no one dared to ask the Mist Village for anything.
Otherwise, if they broke the unspoken rules, the other four great nations would do whatever it took to destroy the Rain Country. The major nobles of the Rain Country didn't want this to happen.
Logically, without the financial support of the Rain Country's noble group, the Mist Village should be like the Sand Village. They shouldn't have the money to buy various ninja tools, and they shouldn't be able to carry out various jutsu development and research. Their overall strength should be declining day by day.
However, under the leadership of the Fourth Mizukage, the Mist Village, without money, took control of various production resources, sold them themselves, built roads themselves, and if they didn't have ships, they could use a storage sealing scroll. One ninja could carry seven or eight storage scrolls. The transportation of goods was faster and safer than ships.
They used the money they earned from trading to pay the ninjas in the village in the form of mission rewards.
In this way, the Mist Village, by chance, had actually found a path of peaceful development that was different from fighting.
With money, the missions were also safe.
Although they didn't know about the long-term effects, in the short term, the Mist Village's purchases of various ninja tools and detonating tags far exceeded the previous Mist Village.
It could even be said that.
The Mist Village had completed all the material preparations for the next war in just a year and a half, less than two years.
Now, they could attack the Land of Fire at any time, but Konoha hadn't prepared to fight another Shinobi World War-level war.
This was fatal.
Once the Mist Village really attacked.
Konoha, which would have to fight back, would be in a very dangerous situation. In the past, they could rely on their vast territory and resources to delay the enemy, but this time, they would face the prospect of being dragged down by the enemy.
"How is this possible?"
Danzō didn't understand.
In his understanding, ninjas were supposed to plunder through constant fighting, not personally engage in business.
However, now, everything that was happening in the Mist Village made him feel a sudden sense of panic that his peaceful life had been disrupted.
"We can't let the Mist Village continue like this. We must destroy it." Danzō's eyes flashed with cold light. The first thing he thought of wasn't imitation, but destruction of the Mist Village's model.
Only other ninja villages had ever imitated Konoha's model. Konoha would never imitate the models of other ninja villages.
"It's up to you." The Third Hokage said. This was what he had called Danzō here for.
He and Danzō had the same idea. In the face of the unknown, destruction was the answer.
