After handing over the follow-up to Nanako, Ye Zi left the stronghold and went to the territory of the Fire Country to join the Scorpion, whose trip to the Land of Water seemed to be very unsatisfactory.

"Hard stubble?" Ye Zi asked.

"It's troublesome." The scorpion, which returned empty-handed, didn't want to say more, so he responded perfunctorily.

Seeing that the scorpion didn't mention this topic, Ye Zi was not interested in knowing, and after the two stayed in the country of fire for a while, they went back to the country of rain, but they didn't see Nagato, but Xiao Nan.

In the empty hall, the light is bright. The sound of water in the drain pipes, coming in from the walls, was noisy.

Ye Zi looked at Xiao Nan and asked, "What about the zero burial?" ”

"I'm dealing with a thing, and I can't get away for the time being." Xiao Nan replied.

The last of the six paths of Payne is also about to be completed, and Nagato, who can control the six corpses after that, plus himself, will be the most powerful existence.

Xiao Nan couldn't tell Ye Zi about this, but only briefly explained the reason for Nagato's absence.

Madara only told Ye Zi some of the Six Paths Technique and the role of the Reincarnation Eye, but there was no information about Payne's Six Paths, and when he heard Xiao Nan's answer, he didn't think deeply.

This time I came back, firstly, the candidate for the Phantom Nine Dragons Seal, and secondly, the progress of the scorpion's hidden weapon.

The scorpion suddenly asked, "How's the progress going on over there in the Stone Country?" ”

"In less than three days, everything you need will be there." Xiao Nan's expression was flat, for these things, manpower divided a large part, but he didn't know if it was worth it.

The scorpion nodded slightly, if there were these things earlier, how could the previous trip to the Land of Water touch a nose of ash.

"Have you recruited anyone during this time?" The scorpion cares about the secret weapon, and Ye Zi is related to the core person needed for the Phantom Nine Dragons seal.

"Yes, 'Santai' recommended a fog ninja who was also born as a traitor, it was the pipa Shizang of the ninja sword of the seven people, and 'Zero Burial' had already seen him, and he met the conditions, codenamed Nandou, so there was still one person missing."

Theoretically, the person who casts the Phantom Nine Dragons Seal needs at least nine people, but in fact, even if there are less than nine people, it can be cast, but in that case, the spell casting conditions will be doubled, and if the amount of chakra possessed by the caster does not meet the conditions, the seal will not be able to be successfully completed, and the fastest and safest number of people is actually ten people.

However, it is positioned as nine people, and the requirements for the caster are also not ridiculously high, so an existence like Fengqiao Rotten Deer, which is weaker than Jiaodu and others, can also be qualified for this position.

"Is there one left?" Ye Zi's eyes flickered slightly, one more person, the conditions would be satisfied, and then all he had to consider was how to capture all the tailed beasts, and in the process of capturing, he had to solve the obstacles from the ninja village.

"Notify me as soon as you have the right candidate." Suppressing his excitement, Ye Zi turned to leave, and the scorpion followed, and the two left the hall side by side.

Xiao Nan looked at Ye Zi's back silently, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In order to wait for the hidden weapon, the scorpion deliberately waited in Yunin Village for three days, and then accompanied by Ye Zi, he pocketed a large number of hidden weapons made of black iron ore.

With a slight excitement, the scorpion wanted Ye Zi and him to leave the rain ninja village to find a remote and empty place to spar.

In this regard, wanting to see how the strength of the hidden weapon increases for the scorpion, Ye Zi agreed to the scorpion's request.

The two then engaged in a point-and-point battle.

At the beginning, the scorpion's hidden weapons that had not yet been quenched were all dodged by Ye Zi and fell around.

Ye Zi deliberately took a secret weapon, and his first perception was not very good.

However, when the scorpion sacrificed the puppet of the three generations of wind shadows, the situation changed instantly, first attracting Ye Zi's attention with a positive magnetic escape, and then, the hidden weapon that seemed to be unintentional before suddenly flew up from the ground and shrouded Ye Zi, and the number of hidden weapons in the shape of a thin needle was very amazing.

At that time, he was dodging the attack of the magnetic escape, and in a hurry, he almost used the wooden escape to defend, but stopped thinking at the last moment, because the hidden weapon did not move forward, and was controlled by the scorpion and stopped in mid-air.

The scorpion, who felt that he had already won, had the ability to control the three generations of wind shadows, and all the hidden weapons that were a little farther away were also controlled to float in the air, as if he wanted to express to Ye Zi the changes he had after having these hidden weapons.

"How?" The scorpion said coldly.

"It was a bit of a surprise to me." Ye Zi looked at the large number of hidden weapons floating in the air, his expression was calm, at that moment, as long as he used the wooden escape, he could prevent this wave of attacks, and the scorpion with the exposed hole cards could no longer threaten him.

However, it is still a bit risky to stop Mu Dun at a critical moment, and it also seems overconfident.

"This is your hole card, right? It's so easy to use in front of me. Ye Zi looked at the scorpion, the puppet was expressionless, but he could feel the scorpion's pride.

"It doesn't matter." The scorpion said lightly: "Although I don't regard you as my own, at least we are on the same front." ”

The person he wanted to deal with was Konoha White Fang, but with his current strength, he was not sure that he would be able to defeat Konoha White Fang, and he agreed to join Xiao at that time, so he thought of using Xiao's power to take revenge on Konoha White Fang.

The person who can help him is the man in front of him, so he doesn't mind showing his killing moves to Ye Zi.

Compared with the scorpion's non-reservation, Ye Zi is different, he will not easily reveal the hole cards, pointing to the many hidden weapons floating in the air, and said lightly: "Put it away, it looks very eye-catching." ”

Hearing this, the scorpion manipulated many hidden weapons to recover, and then said, "I still have to quench these hidden weapons." ”

Ye Zi couldn't help but be silent, this unexpected killing move, if it was quenched with poison, it was indeed terrifying.

The perception of scorpions has been raised to a higher level.

The two of them then left the Land of Rain.

Time flies, time flies.

With the end of the Third Shinobi War, the long-awaited peace has come, and now, half a year has passed.

Seeing that the situation has been stabilized and peace has begun to be integrated into life, the ninja village as a military force has become a financial burden for the country, so after this half-year hesitation period, the big country finally made a plan to reduce the financial resources invested in the ninja village, in the current peace period, the role that military power can play is not high, so there is no need to continue to maintain a large amount of financial expenditure, but even if a truce treaty is signed with the countries, the risk still exists, despite this, the big country still insists on reducing the funds invested in the ninja village.

Although each shinobi village tried their best to clarify the key points of the Daimyo's decision, the Daimyo and the minister valued the stakes.

Cultivating an excellent ninja requires a lot of investment and energy, and the life of a ninja is to bear this name, fighting non-stop for his family, village, and country, but after ushering in peacetime, ninjas no longer need to be involved in war.

Without the strong support of the state, the village can only fill the gap in funds if it wants the new generation of the village to not be affected by the fault.

On the east street of Konoha Village, there is a very famous three-color maruko shop, Kakashi and other ninjas of the same period, at this time, are all in the three-color maruko shop, and everyone has a plate of three-color maruko.

"Congratulations to everyone on successfully advancing to Zhongnin!"

In the store, which occupies a small area, the teenagers and girls, full of smiling faces, each held up a string of three-color balls, and leaned towards the middle from different directions, except for a silver-haired teenager, who sat on the side with a lazy expression.

"Hey, Kakashi, why don't you come and celebrate?" Obito, wearing goggles, yelled at Kakashi.

Hearing his words, Rin, Akai, Red, Asma, Genma, Wind, Yanye, and Shizune all looked at Kakashi.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Kakashi raised his dead fish eyes and said lazily, "You're celebrating your ascension to Chushinobi, right?" ”

"That's right." Obito grinned, thanks to the Sharingan, he was able to successfully promote to the middle ninja, and he was very excited about this.

"But I've already been shinobi."

When Daitu heard this, a crossroads broke out on his forehead, and he said angrily: "Sister Yan Ye is also a forbearance!" ”

Kakashi glanced at Yan Ye, who was smiling and silent, rubbed his hair helplessly, held up the tricolor ball, and said lazily, "Congratulations." ”

"That's pretty much it." Obito held up the three-color balls and shouted excitedly, "Cheers!" ”

"Oh!"

Akai immediately agreed.

Rin smiled at the crowd, then quietly glanced at Kakashi, while Red looked at Akai and rolled her eyes.

Mute covered her mouth and chuckled, and Yan Ye quietly ate the balls first.

Asma, Genma, and Storm glanced at each other, all shrugged their shoulders, and then they all raised the balls and made a voice that still looked immature.

"Cheers!"

Kakashi lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth under the black mask were slightly hooked.

As soon as the simple celebration session was over, everyone was happy to eat the meatballs.

"I heard Cheers from afar, so I thought that the shop selling meatballs had increased its business of selling alcohol." Suddenly, at the open door of the store, a slightly regretful voice came from it.

Everyone followed the prestige, but it was a middle-aged man wearing a red and green costume with long white hair. (To be continued.) )
