Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 374: Cat and Dog War

Not long after Ino led her "grand army" away, Danzō also took action.

After being the scapegoat for many years, the old man had now become a doctor from a long illness and had some experience and insights in shifting blame.

According to Danzō's understanding, Ino leading three silly boys to attract hatred in the open—just these few people trying to attract the Cloud Village's attention? Dream on, it's far from enough. He, the old man, had other arrangements.

On a high cliff far from Konoha, Danzō, along with Sai, met the Konoha rogue ninja who had come as promised, Hiruko, who was also a contemporary of Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.

"Lord Danzō, long time no see. What can I do for you?" Hiruko was also a rather handsome man in his youth. At that time, he was tormented by the Sannin. This brother was unwilling to be ordinary. After defecting from the village, he frantically researched forbidden techniques and had now turned himself into neither human nor ghost. He was clearly a middle-aged man, but standing in front of Danzō, he was as thin and small as a child.

"Don't you want to capture the Cloud Village's Magnet Release ninja, Toroi? I will send my subordinates to assist you. As a trade, you will also have to help me capture someone in the future."

Hiruko's face was wrapped in thick bandages, and from time to time, some yellow pus could be seen seeping out of the bandages. This mummy-like man glanced around with his peripheral vision.

"Quite a few Root ninjas have come… A guy who can even trouble Lord Danzō must be very strong. Just a Toroi? I'm at too much of a disadvantage. You must add one more for me."

Danzō flatly refused. "Impossible. The relationship between Konoha and the Cloud Village is extremely tense right now. I will take a huge risk by sending people to capture Toroi. One for one."

Hiruko sneered. "The relationship between Konoha and the Cloud Village? What does that have to do with me? Two! Besides Toroi, you must add one more from the list I gave you!"

Danzō's right hand was behind his back. At this moment, he couldn't help but rub his hands. The Root ninjas lurking in the dark were all waiting for his signal.

Hiruko stared at his expression even more intently.

After a stalemate of about two minutes, Danzō made a concession. "Two is definitely not possible. The people you want are elites in the major hidden villages. The ninja world is so chaotic now, it's hard for me to mobilize so many people to capture people in the hidden villages. But… I can give you Pakura's corpse. Back then, to get the corpse from the Mist Village, Root paid a considerable price. The corpse has been around for so many years and is a bit decayed, but it's largely intact."

Originally thinking he would refuse the deal, Hiruko was already prepared to break out. Now that Danzō had made a concession, he pondered it without showing any emotion.

This deal was actually not bad. His secret technique required genetic bloodline; it didn't matter if it was a living person or a corpse.

"Who does Lord Danzō want me to deal with? Do I know him?" Hiruko asked.

"You don't know him, but he's related to someone you know, your old friend. Let me put it this way, a very deep relationship. After getting rid of this guy, you will also be very happy."

Hiruko thought for a moment and felt that this matter must be super troublesome, but he wanted to get something for free. "Alright, I promise you. But you have to help me capture the person first."

"Alright." Danzō sneered inwardly. Fool, who's going to help you capture anyone! You're just a bait on the surface, to be thrown away after being used.

To travel from Konoha to the Cloud Village, one had to pass through many countries.

After leaving the Land of Fire, Ino's team entered the Land of Hot Water.

Ino had once exterminated the Jashin cult here. The remnants of Jashin's will were still sealed in the underground cavern. She looked around. The Jashin cult was gone, and now the people here had begun to believe in the Cat God and the Dog God…

The two sides were at odds. A perfectly good festival was forcibly divided into two halves. The north was for cat lovers, and the south was for dog lovers.

Ino was speechless. Were the spiritual worlds of these people from the Land of Hot Water so barren? Did they feel uncomfortable if they didn't create some god?

The charismatic Kiba Inuzuka quickly became the spiritual leader of the Dog God faction. Without a second word, Tamaki joined the Cat God faction and soon became the leader of the cat faction. The two sides began a large-scale PK!

The civilians of the Land of Hot Water, who had eaten too much, divided the country, and even the streets, into two halves.

People closer to Konoha in the Land of Fire liked dogs, and people closer to the Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning liked cats.

When the Cloud Village sent Yugito Nii to welcome the Konoha blind date group, the people of the cat faction enthusiastically pulled Yugito Nii into their camp.

Yugito Nii's mature older sister style changed instantly after seeing the kittens all over the Land of Hot Water. The love in her eyes was not concealed at all. She petted this kitten's head, scratched that kitten's belly. All the cats liked her very much. The most beautiful shorthair cat even acted spoiled, lying on her chest and not moving.

"Lady Yugito is the messenger of the Cat God!"

"The Cat God is the greatest!"

For a time, the cat faction completely suppressed the dog faction.

Kiba Inuzuka tried to rush over to "reason" twice, but he couldn't even take one glance from Yugito.

"Ino, you like dogs, right?" He could only pin his hopes on this old classmate, Ino.

Ino was about to collapse. What's going on? The fuse between Konoha and the Cloud Village won't be these cats and dogs, will it? If that's the case, the ninjas who sacrificed themselves on the battlefield would be too wronged…

Kiba looked at her hopefully. "You must like dogs. Akamaru told me that when we were in school, you often looked at Akamaru. Don't hide your inner feelings. You like dogs! Right?"

Ino thought about it seriously. She did have a good relationship with the Yang Nine-Tails. Foxes are also canids. Rounding it up, it didn't seem wrong to say she liked dogs.

Now, which animal she liked was actually not important anymore. Yugito Nii, representing the Cloud Village, had joined the cat faction, so she had to join the dog faction!

A sense of déjà vu of the Autobots and Decepticons emerged from somewhere. She nodded very helplessly. "Compared to cats, I do prefer dogs."

After Kiba gained the support of a Jounin, he went around looking for allies.

"Shikamaru, you're my best brother. You like dogs too, right?"

"Choji, we've skipped so many classes together, eaten so much barbecue together. Brother is just asking you for one thing now. Say it out loud, say you like dogs! Okay?"

Tonton was Tsunade's pet. Didn't she need to exercise more? Kiba had his beloved dog Akamaru play with Tonton. Without much effort, he pulled this pet pig into his camp.

Kiba went up and down, connecting with everyone. He didn't even spare Gamakichi from Mount Myōboku.

"You… you guys should like dogs too, right?"

Gamakichi looked up at him. "???"

He felt that this human's brain seemed to be a bit faulty!

As for Pakkun and the other ninja hounds, there was no need to ask. Ino might not be human, but they were real dogs!
