Chapter 43: The Land of Wind, Wind Shadow
Makoto put down the hand on Nagato's shoulder and walked forward first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In front of me is already the familiar rain country new rain ninja base.
With an eye peeking out from under his gloomy red hair, Nagato recalled the strange sense of dislocation of time and space a moment ago, and the genius ninja who was proficient in the five chakra transformations muttered, "This is ...... The art of flying thunder? ”
Cheng had changed back to his original appearance at this time, and Wen Yan smiled: "That's right, it's a strange feeling, right?" The way time is distorted. ”
He didn't look back, he climbed the stairs.
Nagato couldn't help but ask him, "We're just coming back?" ”
Cheng paused and turned his head: "Yes, isn't that how it was arranged before leaving?" ”
It's true that Yahiko sent an envoy to the Land of Wind on behalf of the Land of Rain, and the terms of the deal negotiated are also true, but it just leaves some marks for Makoto and Nagato, who are lurking outside the Sand Ninja Village.
Without these Flying Thunder God Markers, it would be difficult to enter the core area of Sand Ninja Village in the face of the perception enchantment that detected ninjutsu on the periphery of the Sand Ninja.
Makoto and Nagato, who infiltrated, were responsible for testing the strength of the human pillar, including attitude, strength, and difficulty of capture.
In Nagato's opinion, no matter what he said, he had to fight with the old monk Zhuli to be sure of these things, why did Makoto just sit there for a while and then give up and come back?
The two people standing in the stairwell are wearing red and black bottom-mask trench coats, which are uniforms that imitate the black red cloud of "Xiao", but they don't make people feel similar. Makoto's idea is to secretly carry out some activities as a "mysterious organization", without involving the Shinyu Shinobi and the Association.
Why did you just sit and chat with Fenfu for a while and then choose to come back?
Perhaps it was the reason for the perennial cultivation of the Yang-like energy of "internal force", Cheng had become more and more sensitive to his vitality over the years, and because of this, he could clearly perceive it.
Divide the blessing, a tail of human pillar power, and is about to die.
Although with the ascetic's inhuman willpower, Fenfu was still able to suppress the chakra of Ichio, but the decayed body of the oil lamp no longer allowed him to persevere.
Three years at the latest, one year at the earliest, and the strength of a human pillar will definitely be replaced.
In this case, there is no point in Makoto trying to divide the blessings, because in the association's plan, the Wind Country, which is the weakest of the five great powers and has only one tailed beast, is not a good target for early attack.
"That's enough." Makoto said lightly, not ready to explain to Nagato, if Yahiko is willing to believe in him to a limited extent because his concept of compassion is recognized by Makoto, the rest of the members of Akatsuki, including Konan, including Nagato, in Makoto's opinion, are all evaders sheltered under Yahiko's brilliance, and they are not trustworthy companions for the time being.
Feeling this estrangement clearly, Nagato couldn't help but be silent.
Makoto, who had already walked to the second floor, opened the door and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Nagato, do you want to come up and have a cup of tea?" ”
It seemed like a long time before a voice broke the silence:
"Okay."
#####
"Chiyo-sama—it's not right for you to do that."
Kazekage sat on the throne and said coldly. There was no one behind him, and he sat alone at one end of the conference table, looking a little cold.
On the other hand, Chiyo on his left, three or four people stood silently behind her, and the rest of the advisory group was very close to her, intentionally or unintentionally, making it seem overwhelming.
"Kazekage-sama," Chiyo, who is already in her fifties, has wrinkles on her face, but her face is frosty, and she doesn't have the kindness of an elderly person at all, her voice is sharp, she looks at the three generations of Kazekage on the right, and says, "This is an order from the Daimyo, I think, Kazekage-sama doesn't have the power to interfere without authority." ”
"Okay, stop arguing." Ebizo, who was sitting opposite Chiyo, said slowly: "The village's finances have been tight recently, and there is no way for Chiyo-sama to sell some of the old equipment of the puppet army to the daimyo." ”
Although he said it to Chiyo, he was squeezing the wind shadow on the main throne inside and outside the words.
In addition to the people sitting at this table, there are also some seats under the stage, and some of the heads of other departments of the sand ninja are sitting in their positions, all of them looking at their noses and noses.
Who doesn't know that the two major advisors of the Sand Ninja Village, Chiyo and Ebizo are sisters and brothers, the most powerful troops in the Land of Wind, and the puppet troops are in their hands.
"Humph!" Thinking of the information he got yesterday, the three generations of Kazekage hung their eyes on the table in front of him, trying their best to hide the murderous intent in their hearts.
"Kazekage-sama, thousands of ninjas in the village, but they are all looking forward to you giving Zhang Luo food, if you have any good ideas, you must say it, hold it in your heart, if something happens, what should we do as subordinates-" Ebizo was still not satisfied, and sneered.
In fact, after starting to imitate Konoha two years ago and introducing the concept of production ninjas, the finances of Sand Ninja Village are no longer the impoverished appearance they used to be, but - but no matter how beautiful the financial income is, it can't resist the gobbling of the Gold Swallowing Beast.
A gold-devouring beast called the Warrior.
This is something that both sides know very well, because it is none other than each other that they are trying to exploit their production ninjas and insist on expanding their armaments despite the growing resentment.
The puppet army has doubled the number of standard puppet weapons in a year, and the new army called the Shadow Guard is actually a new army of newly trained puppet troops, and so on.
The Chiyo siblings, who seem to have an advantage in the political situation of the Sand Ninja, first couldn't support it and accepted the hookup of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
In fact, everyone understands these things very well in their hearts.
"Kazekage-sama." Karuiro, who had arrived in a hurry, stood there, a little hesitant.
"Garura, just say something directly! Grinding and chirping, there is no ninja look! Chiyo's sharp voice reprimanded her made it difficult for people to have any good feelings about her.
"Yes." But Kagura was used to it, and she stood up straight, paused for a moment at the empty seat at the table—that was Raksha's position—and then reported one by one, "My lords, there is something wrong with Shouzuru, it seems that someone has infiltrated and escaped after making contact with Shouhe, and now his whereabouts are unknown. ”
"What are the people on alert to the troops doing to make the enemy invade and escape?" Ebizo frowned and said dissatisfied.
"Raksha has gone to the area where the rain shinobi was received, and it has been temporarily determined that the invaders are not the people brought by the rain ninja." Karuro ignored him and continued to report.
"If Luo Sha goes to deal with it, it should be no problem." The Wind Shadow finally spoke, and he said lightly, "Don't disturb the rain shinobi, they are the guests of the sand shinobi after all." ”
A guest of Shinobi? I think it's your guest! Chiyo secretly sneered, and just as he wanted to speak, he listened to Karura in the audience and suggested softly: "Shouzuru's mood seems to be a little unstable, I think Kazekage-sama are you ......"
