Utatane Koharu frowned. "Danzo, solving Third Mizukage can indeed allow Kirigakure to suspend the offensive, or even withdraw troops directly."
"But such a task is not easy to complete."
"Who is qualified for such a task?"
Mitokado Homura continued, "It seems that only Sakumo can handle this kind of task, right?"
"But, even for him, the chance of failure is probably very high!"
Danzo said calmly, "Hatake Sakumo is not the best candidate. I think his disciple Shita Genichi is more suitable!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly after hearing this.
Utatane Koharu said, "Shita Genichi, a very outstanding genius recently, his strength seems to have surpassed his teacher."
"But is he too young and inexperienced to take on such a critical and important task?"
Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Hiruzen, what do you think?"
"You should know more about Shita Genichi."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "I agree with Koharu's opinion."
The possibility of failure in this kind of mission is too great.
Third Mizukage itself has strong strength, not to mention the guards, and it will basically not leave Kirigakure.
After the battle breaks out, what you have to face is Kirigakure's huge ninja, not just Third Mizukage and his guards.
Unless we can find a Third Mizukage opportunity to travel.
But today's war situation is very difficult.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen does not want Shita Genichi to take this risk.
He is extremely optimistic about the future of Shita Genichi. If Tsunade becomes the fourth generation, then Shita Genichi will be an excellent helper for Tsunade from now on.
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts, Danzo said, "The reason why I think Shita Genichi is a very suitable candidate is because he has excellent infiltration ability and is also proficient in Genjutsu and Sharingan."
"And the most important thing is, he mastered Flying Raijin Technique."
"With this technique, even if he fails in the assassination, he can retreat calmly."
"If it succeeds... especially if he masters Ice Release, as long as he does some tricks, Kirigakure can fall into chaos in a short time and greatly reduce our pressure."
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but fall silent after hearing this.
He... was convinced by Danzo.
Da da da~
Under the night, Danzo walked slowly home with a faint smile. Behind him was Root ninja Aburame Tatsuma.
"Sir Danzo, since the mission to assassinate Third Mizukage has no impact on Shita Genichi, and is even more likely to fail, why do you still push it forward?"
Aburame Tatsuma asked.
He had been thinking about this question, but didn't think it through clearly, so he asked it now.
Danzo said calmly, "It doesn't matter whether Shita Genichi can complete the task. Success or failure will affect Kirigakure and slow down their actions."
"For us, the most important thing is to start the war at Land of Rain."
"War is the best nourishment for Root to grow stronger."
"And we cannot lose this war. So we need more power to invest in it."
Aburame Tatsuma suddenly realized and said quickly, "Sir Danzo, I am so narrow-minded!"
Danzo said calmly, "Remember, Root is the root that protects Konoha. What we represent is the interests of the village. We are the guardians in the darkness. Sometimes the means are not important."
"And only when Root becomes stronger can we better protect the interests of the village."
Aburame Tatsuma nodded quickly after hearing this. "Yes, Master Danzo!"
Although Danzo looks calm and calm at the moment, his heart is hot and crazy: Only when the Land of Rain war breaks out can his importance be revealed, and can he make contributions and get back what belongs to him!
And that kid Shita Genichi.
Flying Raijin Technique is not invincible, otherwise teacher Senju Tobirama would not have died on the battlefield.
"Should we reveal the information to Kirigakure?"
A thought flashed through Danzo's mind, but he immediately rejected this stupid idea. "It's too easy to be exposed. What if Shita Genichi is not dead..."
Thinking of being beaten violently last time, Danzo shuddered instinctively.
That bastard brat has no respect for him at all.
This kind of person will be a dangerous person to Konoha in the future!
Danzo hates and fears Shita Genichi, but at the same time there is a trace of desire deep in his heart.
Why are such talents not in Root?
If he had such talent, how could he be as cowardly as Sarutobi Hiruzen!
Damn it!
"Hokage..."
"Hiruzen, you are no longer suitable for that position!"
The wildfire in Danzo's heart was burning. "Land of Rain that Akatsuki's Rinnegan, one of the three major pupil techniques, should be able to rival Sharingan!"
In the bedroom, Shita Genichi was sitting at the desk, frowning as he studied the content about Hydrification Technique.
Hozuki Wuyue was captured alive before and was not sent to Orochimaru, but Hozuki Shingetsu was captured alive this time and was sent to Orochimaru for research.
Some of these information were obtained by the Intelligence Department from the mind of Hozuki Wuyue, some were obtained from the mind of Hozuki Shingetsu, and some were obtained from Shita Genichi himself and the results of studying the two Hozuki Clan ninjas with Orochimaru.
There is a lot of content, but even if it is put together it is not complete.
This shows how difficult it is to fully analyze a person's ability, especially a secret technique like Hydrification Technique, and Kekkei Genkai.
However, I managed to scrape together some pieces so that Shita Genichi could get a glimpse of the real secret of Hydrification Secret Technique.
Of course, this does not mean that you can use this to cultivate Hydrification Secret Technique.
Otherwise, Hozuki Clan has existed for so long, and only members of their clan would be able to cultivate it.
"Although it is not Kekkei Genkai, from generation to generation, the secret of Hydrification Secret Technique has been engraved into the genes of the Hozuki Clan."
"It can be said that a non-Kekkei Genkai physique similar to the Uzumaki Clan has been formed."
"Unfortunately, it is too difficult to analyze genes, and the information loss is very severe. Unless we have enough samples, we can slowly piece together the complete picture."
Shita Genichi couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
I'm afraid it won't be enough to kill Hozuki Clan.
After all, Hozuki Clan is not like Uchiha Clan or Hyuga Clan.
"Hydrification Secret Technique, the key is the transformation between matter, energy, and matter... This is not a deception like Transformation Technique."
"Chakra can be transformed into water. This can be done by mastering Water Release."
"The body is transformed into chakra, and chakra is transformed into water... No, chakra should be a bridge, channel, or auxiliary agent for the transformation of the two substances."
Shita Genichi thought to himself that among all the information that is missing, this is the most critical part.
"It has to do with the fact that chakra itself carries all the information of the body, so it can be transformed between water and the body at will..."
"Well... Water Clone, Shadow Clone, are all physical clones. Before they are attacked and collapsed, they are the same as their real bodies. Even Byakugan is difficult to identify."
"But the clone is unstable..."
Shita Genichi pinched the center of his eyebrows, then took a blank piece of paper and listed Shadow Clone, Water Clone and Jutsu Formula on it.
Hydrification Technique is difficult to conquer, so Ice Human Technique he wants is also a bit difficult.
That is, the body melts into ice.
Then, let's develop Ice Clone Technique first.
Maybe you can get some inspiration from it.
In the past ten years, for Ice Release and Shita Genichi, half of the ninjutsu has not been developed, and the full liver temperature has been achieved.
At present, the temperature of his Ice Release can reach minus 80 degrees Celsius, which is still very far away from Absolute Zero.
However, the hardness of this level of ice is already stronger than steel and stronger than the hardest granite.
If the temperature is low enough, then the technique of Ice Release becomes simple.
You can even copy it.
This is also the reason why Shita Genichi did not develop Ice Release ninjutsu before.
But now, if the temperature continues to drop, even 0.1 degrees is very difficult. You have to grind slowly, then you can put the development of ninjutsu on the agenda.
The first one is the ice clone!
Time flies and it's the end of April.
Shita Genichi, who was notified on this day, came to Hokage Office.
"Assassinate Third Mizukage?"
Shita Genichi is a little surprised by this task.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. "Not bad."
"We have reached an agreement with Hanzo of Amegakure and will form an alliance to launch an attack on the Iwa ninjas in Land of Rain."
"So the pressure from Kirigakure must be relieved."
"In addition, Kirigakure has had frequent exchanges with Sunagakure recently, and the peace talks seem to be progressing steadily."
"If they succeed in the peace talks, it will not be beneficial to us, so they pretend to be Kirigakure Yuki Clan to assassinate Third Mizukage. Regardless of whether they succeed, it will cause turmoil in Kirigakure and slow down their actions."
Shita Genichi nodded, understanding Sarutobi Hiruzen's intention.
However, he felt that the assassination of Third Mizukage, whether successful or not, would prompt Kirigakure to speed up the progress of peace talks with Sunagakure.
However, this view based on personal knowledge may be difficult to convince people.
Assassinate, just assassinate!
It doesn't have to be successful anyway.
Third Mizukage... and Sarutobi Hiruzen should be considered people of the same era, maybe even older.
Thinking about Shita Genichi, I can't help but feel a little excited and enthusiastic!
So, he nodded. "I understand, when will we take action?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "The action will begin on May 2nd."
"Regardless of success or failure, as long as you come back safely!"
"The key to this mission is not to successfully assassinate Third Mizukage!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally emphasized that he was afraid that Shita Genichi was young and energetic, so he insisted on killing Third Mizukage.
Shita Genichi said quickly, "Yes, Lord Hokage, I will come back safely!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. "Then go and prepare!"
"That guy Danzo is really capable of causing trouble. He even convinced Hanzo..."
Hokage Building came out, Shita Genichi just thought about it and concluded that the assassination of Third Mizukage was proposed by Danzo.
This task is not in line with Sarutobi Hiruzen's style.
As for joining forces with Hanzo, it must be Danzo who is doing it, but Danzo has always been in charge of Land of Rain.
"By the way, Danzo won't kill you enough to set up any traps in this mission, right?"
Shita Genichi thought about it for a while, and felt a little distrustful of that guy Danzo's bottom line.
"It seems I need to make more preparations and go all out!"
Shita Genichi Body Flicker Technique Go home.
And soon, May 2nd arrived.
Early in the morning Shita Genichi took Uzumaki Ina and left Konoha for Kirigakure.
