Chapter 276: Guidance and Temptation
In the cramped room, Yokota's heartbeat gradually increased with the frequency of the Rope Tree's index finger, but he didn't dare to break the Rope Tree's train of thought rashly.
And Rope didn't notice the change in his mood at all, but fell into his own mental struggle, or more precisely, he was trying to convince himself: "What do you think? Rope Tree! It's so hard that after so many years, you haven't adapted to the cruelty of the ninja world? You're going to face two powerful enemies who want to turn the whole world upside down! For the entire ninja world, what is the sacrifice of just one person? What's more, the person in front of him is not a good man and a woman, if it weren't for you, he would have died in the internal strife of the Vortex clan! ”
Thinking of this, the sound of percussion finally stopped abruptly, and Rope Tree finally made up his mind, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes and he glanced at Yokota deeply, he didn't come here to be a nanny for his subordinates, and he must not be soft when necessary.
When Yokota saw this look, a chill inexplicably arose in his heart, "My lord...... Have you figured it out?"
"I remember you mentioned in your letter that your grandson Nagato has been having trouble with his eyes lately?" Rope Tree replied and asked another, seemingly unrelated question.
Although Yokota did not know the meaning of this, he still replied very cautiously: "My lord, this is indeed the case, and it should be inseparable from the secret enemy, and the timing of the two events is quite coincided. ”
"Hmmm! Don't you think there's a connection between the fact that the other party is keeping an eye on your grandson all the time, and his eyes happen to be wrong at this time?" Rope Tree's tone casually guided Yokota's train of thought.
"What do you mean by that the other party's target is Xiao Sun's eyes?" At this time, Yokota had forgotten the inexplicable emotions just now, and asked thoughtfully.
"More precisely, these eyes!" Rope Tree nodded in affirmation.
"Current?" Yokota asked, puzzled.
"As far as I know, the ninja world has been circulating the technique of eye transplantation since the Warring States period, and it is used to seize the power of Hitomi Blood! As a result, the Hyuga clan gave birth to the secret of the separation policy to protect the white eyes, and the Uchiha clan has too special pupil power for the writing wheel eyes, so only a very small number of physiques can withstand the backlash! And the strong vitality of the Vortex Clan happens to be one of the eligible physiques! "It can't be so obvious that it exposes flaws, but if you draw some conclusions based on existing clues and reasonable reasoning, you are not at all wrong. With the answer known in advance, this kind of reverse reasoning is a piece of cake for the rope tree.
After listening to Rope Tree's analysis and inference with a twinkle in his eyes, Yokota said with a sudden face: "It turned out that someone from the Uchiha clan made a move!" No wonder the illusion of the visitor is so powerful, even I was unknowingly controlled by him! In retrospect, Nagato's eyes have indeed become a little different in the past few days, not only have they become larger, but their pupils have become darker and brighter. Originally, I thought it was just an illusion, but now after being raised by adults, everything is clear! But...... Why did the other party have to transplant his eye to Nagato's body?"
Yokota thinks he's found the truth, but unfortunately this Uchiha is completely different from what he imagined.
"I think in addition to physical reasons, there is probably also an age factor, and generally young children are easier to guide and control!" Seeing that Yokota had finally come to the truth under his own guidance, Rope continued to direct the other party's train of thought in the direction he wanted.
After hearing this, Yokota's expression really changed greatly: "What the adult said is exactly, the other party's strength is so high, and he has spent so much trouble for Xiao Sun, and the plan must be not small!" ”
"No matter what happens to the other party, at least for a short time you are safe, but once you make a move and the other party detects the intention, then you are in danger!
With the hidden methods and illusion abilities that people have shown, it will be easy if you are bent on taking your life!
Even if Hanzo and I attack at the same time, it may not be possible to take it down in the future, and the two of us can protect you for a while, but we can't protect you for the rest of your life.
On the other hand, if you are willing to pretend that you don't know anything, or even abandon your grandson, I don't think anyone will be embarrassed by you in the short term!
Are you willing to take any risks after knowing this?" Rope asked with demagogy in his tone.
"This ......" Yokota did waver in his heart after hearing the bewitchment of the rope tree, at this time his plan in Yuyin Village was going very smoothly, and if he was given a while, he was even sure that the country of rain would become the second country of vortex, but all of this had twists and turns because of the strong man who appeared inexplicably.
If Yokota now has a second grandson, he will definitely not hesitate to abandon Nagato, because in his heart, there is nothing more important than the revitalization of the Uzumaki clan and the will of the Uzumaki, even if it is a relative, he can be ruthlessly sacrificed.
But now that he is old, it is more difficult to have offspring than the iron tree to bloom, and his son and daughter-in-law can have another child, but he has tried his best in the past two years to convince them to give birth to a second child, and if he drives his grandson out of the house after that, it will be even more useless.
In addition, Yokota's son and daughter-in-law have mediocre qualifications, and they only barely reach the level of middle ninja when they are over thirty, so he can only pin all his hopes on Nagato.
He also hoped that Nagato would inherit his "great cause" in the future, using his age advantage to boil Hanzo to death, and then replace him, how could he easily hand him over to a strong man of unknown origin and let others control him?
So his face changed again and again, and after some struggle, Yokota finally made up his mind and shook his head and said, "My lord, you can condescend to your busy schedule for the sake of the next thing this time, and I am already grateful for it!" Now I'm tired and sad again...... The subordinates are really to blame! It's just that my grandson is the only hope for realizing the whirlpool plan, so my subordinates beg the adults to ensure the safety of my grandson, and it's really a pity to die as for my subordinates who are already old and decrepit! ”
Hearing Yokota's words, Rope Tree looked at the other party deeply again, these words sounded very great, but in fact they were extremely ruthless!
Of course, Yokota's previous psychological changes can't escape the perception of Rope Tree.,Even if he says so much now, there hasn't been the slightest emotional fluctuation.,It's just to let Nagato realize the plan for him to continue his dream.,For this kind of rational person who can abandon everything for the sake of faith.,I'm afraid future generations are just tools, right?
If it weren't for the control of the "Will of the Forest" and his support for the "Vortex Project", I'm afraid that the person in front of him wouldn't have any loyalty to himself, right?
Rope Tree suddenly realized that the person in front of him was always the Elder Yokota who could do anything for the sake of his beliefs, but in fact he was ambitious, and in order to achieve his goals, I am afraid that even he himself could be sacrificed casually! I was hesitating and bothered by such a cold-blooded politician just now?
It's ridiculous to think about it now! If he tells the other party the truth directly, after learning that Nagato will get the power of the reincarnation eye, he will definitely sacrifice himself and even his son and daughter-in-law without hesitation, right?
My previous deliberate guidance was also subconsciously trying to give the other party a chance to get a reason to convince me to let him go, right? It's a pity that human nature is really the most untenable, and the results are always disappointing!
