Less than five days after the country of the sky was annexed to Konoha, His Royal Highness the former prince Shennong died of a violent illness, and several old ministers of the country of the sky died together, but at this time the ninja world was in turmoil, and this news did not set off any waves in the ninja world except for a few local civilians in the country of the sky to discuss for a while.

On the day of Shennong's "violent death", Orochimaru, who was researching a new topic in the underground fortress, was finally pleased to receive a batch of valuable living materials.

At the same time, with the cooperation of the two parties, in just over a month, more than 100,000 refugees who were originally stranded in the Land of Rain have all been transferred to the Konoha Air Force Fortress.

However, to the surprise of the top brass of the Rain Country, this wave of migration did not stop with the disappearance of refugees, but intensified.

It turned out that in the past month or so, under the guidance and propaganda of the secret branch, a large number of civilians have become more and more optimistic about the war in the country of rain, and the theory of the death of the country has quietly spread among the people. And the good treatment of the refugees after they were transferred to the Land of Fire was also transmitted back to the Land of Rain in various ways.

In contrast, there are many civilians who are insecure and unhappy to simply take a small amount of valuable belongings to Konoha with their families. They don't even want a house, and in this kind of wartime, the property can't be sold at all, anyway, I heard that after arriving in the Fire Country, Konoha will arrange a place for everyone to live, and the price is very cheap, and more importantly, it is full of opportunities, as long as you have the strength, you can find a job to support your family.

Seeing their neighbors, friends, colleagues, and relatives leave without hesitation, even middle-class civilian families who were originally well-off and have a good skill, such as engineers, teachers, doctors, and so on, have also joined the wave of immigration in panic. They were deeply impressed by the tragic fate of their northern refugees some time ago, and no one wanted such a catastrophe to befall them. Although it is a pity to give up the original privileged life and work in this way, it is better than a broken family, and besides, a capable social elite like them can live a good life anywhere.

In this way, the wave of immigrants is getting bigger and bigger, and the addition of a large number of middle- and low-level civilians provides more strength for the construction of the Konoha Air Force Fortress.

This kind of public opinion incitement trick like Konoha Shadow will be detected early and contained in time in any other country, but unfortunately the intelligence system of the Rain Country is completely a sieve, full of loopholes, and it is completely too late for the high-level to react and want to break the rumors and reverse public opinion.

After even a part of the merchant class began to transfer assets with them, Hanzo finally couldn't sit still, and he had to take out some ninjas to forcibly seal the border, strictly forbidding anyone to leave the Land of Rain, otherwise he would be punished for treason.

Although Hanzo's coercive order stopped the flow of immigrants in time, it also exposed the weakness of the rain country, and the people of the rain country, who were still in a wait-and-see attitude, have completely lost confidence in the country, and most of them have feelings of regret. The more the government talks, the more desperate the people become, and many people think that the defeat of the Rain Country is a matter of time.

Hanzo also knew that the negative emotions of the people were a very big hidden danger, but now that the war in the Land of Rain was in a critical period, and the stable logistics supply provided by the rear was the top priority, of course he wanted to prohibit the loss of civilians and wealth at all costs, and coercive measures were the only way.

At this time, Hanzo gradually came back to his senses, and he hated the Skywalker who was digging the foot of the wall behind him, and at the same time, he also had a strong sense of vigilance. It turns out that the other party is not really not preparing to attack the Rain Country, but has changed to a more covert way, and now that he has made a response, what will Skywalker do next?

A strong sense of uneasiness rose in Hanzo's heart, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen.

On the night that Hanzo ordered the border to be sealed, in a secret room under the Konoha Air Force Fortress, Rope Tree and Orochimaru were having a secret conversation.

The secret room where the two of them are located is transformed from the prison originally used to draw dark spiritual power, this is an independent cell far away from other "psychological treatment rooms", and it is not hidden, and the sound insulation effect is also very good, and it has been transformed into a special laboratory by Orochimaru.

"That's what you're doing?"

Rope Tree looked at the row of large, cylindrical transparent vessels in front of him, which were connected to complex instruments and filled with transparent liquid.

The most striking thing is the creature soaked in liquid, which is a large white snake!

These white snakes had cloudy eyes and no aura, and if it weren't for the transparent bubbles bubbling in the glass container, they would look like jars of medicinal wine made from snakes.

Orochimaru admired the white snake in front of him, stuck out his tongue and said, "Since Zero Tail has not yet awakened, I will simply use the materials you provided to carry out the first step of the white snake transformation." The results went well, and now the subjects were indistinguishable from the real White Snake. Once you have pure zero-tailed cells, you can move on to the next step. ”

Rope Tree turned his head and asked, "I guess the transformation process must be very painful, right?" Although these guys have now been hypnotized by you with drugs, this lab provides at least ten times more dark spirits every day than any other psychotherapy room. It's no different from mental illness anymore. Is this a negative effect? I don't want you to be like this after you transform it. ”

Orochimaru shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, no, this is not a negative effect, but I did it on purpose." In order to obtain more dark spiritual power, I deliberately did not use any anesthetic during the transformation process, and these laymen could not accept the transformation of life forms, so they fell into a state of madness.

Subjects like this one, Shennong, are more strong-willed than the others, so although they are also full of negative emotions, they can still maintain their sanity. It's a pity that his mind is not pure at all, so the dark spiritual power generated can't be used to construct Zerotail's consciousness either. It seems that we can only hope for the chakra of the Nine-Tails. ”

Rope carefully looked at the white snake in the vessel in the middle, and recognized the identity of the god of agriculture from its hairstyle and serpentine face, "Why does his head still retain most of the human characteristics unlike his test subject?"

"It may be because of the relationship between the soul and the body that affect each other, so the only Shennong head human who maintains his sanity is highly similar, and the brain structure is exactly the same as the original. The other subjects have fallen into a crazy decline in intelligence during the transformation process, so they are no different from ordinary white snakes. This change is a testament to the success of the experiment. Orochimaru looked at Shennong as if admiring a work of art.
