Kakashi slowly walked out of the Hokage Tower. By this time, it was already dusk. The evening glow of the setting sun poured down from the horizon onto Konoha's houses and buildings, making them appear extraordinarily desolate.
At this moment, Kakashi's face still held lingering shock and disbelief. He tightly clenched his fists. As an Elite Jonin of Konoha, he clearly knew a lot about Konoha's internal affairs, and even the conflicts between the Uchiha clan and Konoha's higher-ups. After all, he used to be a direct member of the Hokage's Anbu.
"How could such a thing happen!!! Why did they do that!!! Is it just because of the alliance between the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans?" Kakashi muttered to himself, his face appearing somewhat confused. He didn't know what his mood was like now.
"Hmm!!!?" Kakashi seemed to sense something and instantly snapped back to attention, looking forward. He saw Uchiha Sasuke standing there quietly, arms crossed over his chest, leaning against a large tree. As soon as Kakashi looked over, Uchiha Sasuke slowly opened his eyes.
"Sigh, what a bother. Sasuke is still so young. Do I really have to tell him about this?" Kakashi scratched his head, but Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were exceptionally sharp. "Sigh, what a headache." Kakashi sighed helplessly again.
A month later, Su brought Haku and Zabuza back to the Land of Cherry Blossoms. After all, the speed of a carriage was far slower than a ninja's speed. Zabuza had also woken up along the way. Haku had been talking to him about something, but he hadn't said a word, remaining silent in the carriage. Su also didn't pay attention to him.
Upon returning to the Cherry Blossom Ninja Village, Su immediately ordered Medical Ninjas to treat Zabuza's injuries. Although Haku had temporarily treated Zabuza's injuries during the journey, due to the severity of Zabuza's injuries, professional Medical Ninjas were still needed for treatment.
However, due to Zabuza's unique nature, Su dispatched many Anbu to monitor Zabuza. After all, Zabuza was an elite Jonin-level ninja, and if he had any other ulterior motives, it would greatly impact the Cherry Blossom Ninja Village. Naturally, they couldn't just let him roam freely.
"She's your childhood friend?" Deidara and Konan exclaimed simultaneously, looking at Haku who stood beside Su, watching Haku nervously.
"Mm, Haku and I grew up together since childhood. It's just that ten years ago, due to some reasons, we had no choice but to separate. Now, she can also be considered a part of our Cherry Blossom Ninja Village," Su said with a smile.
"Is that so? She's Lady Cherry Blossom Shadow, isn't she?" Konan said teasingly with a smile. Deidara also looked at Su with a strange expression. Su smiled faintly and said no more, while Haku's face instantly flushed red. She now knew that her childhood friend was actually the leader of the Cherry Blossom Ninja Village, whose reputation had risen in recent years, also known as the First Cherry Blossom Shadow. When she first found out, it truly gave her a fright.
At night, pink cherry blossoms fluttered in the cool, clear moonlight. On the top floor of the Cherry Blossom Shadow Tower in the Cherry Blossom Ninja Village, Su stood in silent contemplation, looking down at the vast Cherry Blossom Ninja Village beneath his feet.
At this moment, Deidara and Konan, as well as two other high-ranking Cherry Blossom Ninja Village members, had arrived behind Su at some unknown time. These two high-ranking Cherry Blossom Ninja Village members were both powerful ninjas who had once been recruited by the Land of Cherry Blossoms with great renown, and had also helped the Land of Cherry Blossoms suppress rebellions.
One of them was a young man wearing a black ninja uniform, tall and muscular, appearing incomparably strong. The other was a woman, a beautiful woman in her twenties, with soft, lake-green long hair, a tall and slender figure, and beautiful blue eyes—she was a female ninja.
The man was named Kurogane, and the woman was named Chelena. Both were currently high-ranking members of the Cherry Blossom Ninja Village and incredibly strong ninjas, the village's current cutting-edge combat force.
"Hey, Su, you calling us so late isn't to ask us to accompany you for an evening breeze, is it? Although the scenery here is quite beautiful," Konan said with a smile.
"Yeah, I still need to continue researching my art, hmm!!" Deidara also said discontentedly. At this moment, Deidara looked quite a bit taller than he was three years ago, and also much more mature, but this was only on the surface. In reality, this guy's personality hadn't changed at all.
"Heh heh, I called you all here today because I want to ask you for something. After all, this is a big matter, so I must ask you all." Su turned his head and said with a smile.
"Big matter?" All four of them looked at Su with confusion. What big matter required them to be summoned here so late at night? "Destroy Konoha. Are you interested?" Su said playfully.
"What!!!!!?" Hearing Su's words, the four were instantly greatly astonished. Deidara exclaimed, his face full of excitement: "Su, is what you said true? I can't wait to show my art to the world!!!"
"Hey, Su, Konoha is the number one Hidden Village in the ninja world. Are you going to wage war against Konoha!? To be honest, our Cherry Blossom Ninja Village is certainly no match for Konoha. Although we few won't have any issues, what about the village? And the Land of Cherry Blossoms will also suffer," Konan said with a heavy expression.
"Don't worry, it's not war, and even if there were war, Konoha couldn't possibly reach the Land of Cherry Blossoms. You should know that the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass are situated between Konoha and the Land of Cherry Blossoms. That area is the border of the Wind, Fire, and Earth Great Nations. The Land of Wind and the Land of Earth would not agree. This time, it's my personal mission to Konoha. You also know my grudge with Konoha. Won't two months from now be an even better opportunity? And I also need to personally go to Konoha to confirm some things," Su said with a smile.
"Two months later? Could it be…!?" Chelena was instantly startled. "That's right, two months later is the Chunin Exams hosted by Konoha. That time will be the best opportunity to infiltrate Konoha, and we're not the only ones with intentions towards Konoha, you know," Su said with a cold laugh.
