The three of Shiraishi jumped down from the body of the water dragon god and kept watching Nagato's back.

"You're Akatsuki's Nagato, Madara is dead, maybe we can talk openly and honestly now."

Shiraishi was the first to break the silence and speak to Nagato.

In the face of Shiraishi's invitation, Nagato did not respond with words.

He stood there and muttered for a moment, then suddenly started running forward, seemingly uninterested in negotiating with Shiraishi.

Seeing Nagato leave without saying a word, the three of Shiraishi didn't think much about it, and immediately took steps to catch up.

If peaceful negotiations are not possible, the use of force and coercion is also a method, and it is the most direct and effective means, which can save some unnecessary trouble.

"HRE Celestial Sign!"

Nagato's bland voice was heard in the air.

Seeing that the air around them was highly distorted at a speed visible to the naked eye, the three of them immediately felt that they seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall in front of them, and they couldn't take a step forward.

When the three of them turned their heads to look again, Nagato's figure was already far away, turning into a black dot in the field of vision of the three of them.

"Chase!"

Shiraishi didn't say anything and chased in the direction in which Nagato was moving.

Although the biggest threat to the plan has been eliminated, the problem of the eye of reincarnation cannot be left alone.

The true potential of those eyes was still unknown to Shiraishi.

Nagato was bent on running forward, but he also noticed that the three Shiraishi were chasing after him.

Compared to him, these three people actually care more about the pair of reincarnation eyes he has.

This legendary power, once noticed, will attract bees and butterflies, attracting the covetousness of careerists from all walks of life.

"Nagato-sama, I don't recommend that you do it with them now. Even if a new power is stimulated in your body, it may be feasible to deal with two people, but three people are too much for you now. ”

Hei Jue's voice sounded in his ears, and he didn't know when he had come to his side.

Merging with the earth and trees, the Black Jedi can move freely in any environment, and its movement speed far exceeds that of the White Jedi.

He was worried that Nagato would fight the three Shiraishi behind him because of his strong strength and new growth.

In the eyes of the Black Jedi, that was a very dangerous thing.

"Don't worry, I don't have that intention." Nagato's tone remained the same, with his own set of plans: "I urgently need to find a quiet place right now, so that my body can adjust to my newfound strength." Whether it is the ability of the reincarnation eye, or the ability of the Mu Dun and the Vortex clan, it will take a long time to sort out. ”

And this adaptation process, maybe it will take a year to two years to get used to it all and master the sudden excess of power in the body.

Regardless of the reincarnation eye, the secret techniques of Mu Dun and the Vortex Clan, he needs to start learning from the zero foundation stage.

Fighting against a strong opponent in such an unskilled state is extremely dangerous.

"That's right, there's no need to fight for a long time. As long as you completely guide the power of the Reincarnation Eye, it won't take a few years, even these three people will be able to compete, and even suppress the three of them. ”

Kuro Jue agreed with Nagato's statement, and was loyal to Nagato's consideration.

With Nagato's level of development of the Reincarnation Eye at the moment, including the development of the abilities of Mu Dun and the Uzumaki clan, it is impossible for the three of Shiraishi to join forces.

It was very difficult to suppress one of them.

If the three of them join forces, they will definitely lose.

"How's Xiao Nan?"

"Please rest assured, Lord Nagato, Xiao Nan has already moved to another stronghold in advance, and it is safe now."

"Take me there."

"Yes, before that, I'll send these three guys away. It's not an option to keep them chasing after them. ”

Hei Jue plans to take matters into his own hands and drag the three of Shiraishi by himself to buy time for Nagato to escape from here.

"No need, I'm in a hurry now, I just have a trick that is very suitable for this situation, I want to try the power of this sealing technique."

Under Kuro's surprised gaze, Nagato's hands suddenly folded, and a large amount of chakra began to converge towards his palms, and then the two palms opened a distance, and between the two palms, an inconspicuous black ball the size of a finger appeared.

"What is this!?"

The surprise and shock in Kuro's eyes were even worse, as if he was amazed by Nagato's power at the moment.

"Go ahead."

Nagato muttered softly, and the small black ball the size of a finger quickly flew out of Nagato's front and flew towards the sky.

"Earthburst Celestial Star!"

The three of Shiraishi, who were chasing after Nagato closely, suddenly felt a strong suction force acting around their bodies, and their bodies froze, unable to take a step forward.

The body flew unnaturally towards the small black ball floating in the sky, the ground around it cracked inch by inch, and countless gravel also flew with the three of them.

The attraction on the small black ball became more and more terrifying, and the stones it absorbed became larger and larger.

In just a dozen seconds, a huge stone ball was made, suspended in the sky, and slowly flew towards a higher sky.

Boom!

There was a sound coming from inside the stone ball.

A large and incomplete piece of stone protruded from the surface of the neatly shaped stone ball and fell towards the ground.

With an even more violent explosion, the flames scattered in the sky, dust was raised, and in the gap of the huge stone ball, blood-red chakra giants loomed in the smoke, enveloping the three Shiraishi and standing upside down at the bottom of the stone ball.

Then, the blood-red giant sword swung and slashed wildly at the stone ball, falling one stone after another, the attraction acting on the bodies of the three people became smaller and smaller, and the stone ball trembled violently when it was impacted.

Bang!

The stone ball completely shattered, and the blood-red giant fell to the ground, and in the process of falling, it flipped its body and landed steadily on the ground, causing a terrifying wave of qi to line up in all directions, overwhelming a forest.

"Chakra's reaction is gone, probably because of the black-skinned guy."

Ayane looked around with her white eyes, but didn't notice Nagato's figure.

"There's no such thing as that guy in the intelligence, and it's the first time I've met him, so it seems that he has a very good ability to hide and lurk."

Shiraishi frowned, feeling that things were getting tricky.

Unexpectedly, under Madara's command, there are scouts with stronger infiltration ability than Bai Jue.

"The shape is very similar to Bai Jue. What's next, do you want to keep catching up? ”

Ayane was carrying Madara's corpse, and she knew that if she continued to search now, it was unlikely that she would find Nagato.

Bai Shi pressed his somewhat numb neck and said, "Since the other party has such a strong latent ability, it doesn't make much sense to continue looking for it. Let's go back, the most important goal has been accomplished anyway. ”

Moreover, Nagato's appearance knew that there was no room for negotiation at all.

It is impossible to negotiate with him, at least for now.

"Do you want to place the eye of reincarnation?"

Ruri frowned, she thought that the young reincarnation eye possessed more threatening than the old age Madara.

"If you can't find it, you can't help it. And ......" Shiraishi raised his head, looked at the white sky with the belly of the fish, and said: "As long as he and the country of rain cause and effect are not interrupted, his footprints can always be found in that country." ”

"yes, I didn't expect the demigods to end up like that. At this moment, the Land of Rain and the Village of Rain have become full of holes. ”

Ruri sighed.

Indeed, as Shiraishi said, as long as the cause of Xiao and the Land of Rain is not severed, it is not a bad idea to wait for the rabbit there.

Many towns in that country, including Yuyin Village, have military spies from the Oni Country.

"There is no way to do it if the geographical location is bad, the three big countries around need these small countries to stabilize the situation at home, this has nothing to do with justice and evil, it is just the need for survival. There is no peace in this world, only the strong survive and the weak die. From this point of view, I am not completely sure that I will be able to convince the Samsara Eye, because I am a staunch peacemaker. And Xiao's idea of peace is deeply ingrained. ”

This is true regardless of the era, countries are either in the war phase or in the war preparation stage.

In a sense, he and Madara, and Nagato are all opposites who can't convince each other of the existence of opposites.

Even in the case of the negotiation just mentioned, to a certain extent, it is the idea of using violence to make the other party give in when it is impossible to convince them.

Therefore, even heart-to-heart exchanges may not be able to reverse the other side's concept of peace.

This ninja world has always been like this, only strength can attract peace, and weakness can only be trampled by.

There is no more symbolic example of a weak country than a country that survives in the gap between great powers.

Ravaged by the three ninja wars, the demigod of the Rain Country's only patron saint, the demigod of the Rain Hidden Leader, died on the battlefield, and the Rain Hidden Village system nearly collapsed, and the new leader, Kanzo, surrendered to Konoha .

The Rain Country will become a vassal of the Fire Country, and the Rain Hidden Village will also become the target of Konoha oppression.

The secret technique of Yuyin Village, the research data, and the direction of the final inflow can be imagined.

"Let's go, there's only the Water Country side to take care of. Looking at the process over there, that guy in Yakura launched a coup d'état, it should be within these two years, and we must be ready to meet our allies. ”

Wuyin Village is the nail that has entered the internal system of the five major countries, and this move is particularly important.

"Konoha doesn't have to manage it? Do you want me to add two more fires to make them fight a little harder? ”

Ayane played with a kunai in her hand and licked her pink tongue.

"Don't worry about that over there. The demigod died, and the country of rain was completely reduced to a vassal of the country of fire, and that reincarnation eye would definitely not be indifferent, and would definitely use some means to take back the power of Yuyin Village, and Konoha would be against it either light or dark. ”

After the Great Ninja War, it was not a bad thing to let Konoha fall into the quagmire of the Land of Rain. A light flashed in Shiraishi's eyes.

◎

The War of the Land of Rain ended with Konoha victorious.

When the sand hide besieged Hanzo, the leader of the rain hidden village, the Konoha army to which Konoha Orochimaru belonged, gave up supporting the rain hidden troops, and instead advanced in a roundabout way, attacking the base camp of the rain country, causing the thousands of sand hidden ninjas guarding the camp to be wiped out, and all the materials were either removed or burned down, and there was no one left.

And in order to exterminate Hanzo's Yuyin forces, Shakure also paid the price of nearly 2,000 ninjas and sacrificed on the battlefield against Hanzo.

The 7,000 Sand Hidden Ninjas gathered on the battlefield of the Land of Rain were suddenly reduced by 3,000, while Konoha, on the other hand, achieved nearly ten times the result at the cost of the sacrifice of a few hundred ninjas.

These hundreds of people were killed during the attack on the Sand Hidden Camp.

And the new leader of the Rain Hidden Village, Kanzo, officially submitted the surrender document to Konoha and expressed his willingness to lead all the remnant ninjas of the Rain Hidden Village to become a subsidiary ninja village of Konoha .

Yuyin Village under the rain, the center of the village.

The corpses, old and young, were all hung on the ropes connected between the towers, and as long as the ninjas and villagers of Yuyin Village passed by, they could clearly see the existence of these corpses.

The ninjas and the villagers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and then lowered their heads and walked away.

Next to those corpses, stood four ninjas of Konoha Dark Root, who stared coldly at the ninjas and villagers of Yuyin Village who were coming and going around them, wanting to use these corpses to hang out the opponents among them.

On a tall tower, Tuanzang, dressed in a black coat and with a bandage on the right half of his head, stood on the edge of the open-air overlook, condescendingly looking down on the village, and also saw the corpses hanging in the center of Yuyin Village.

"In this way, everything about Hanzo disappeared from this village. After many years, there will be no more rumors about 'Hanzo' in this village. ”

"This is all the result of the leadership of Lord Danzang and Lord Orochimaru."

Kanzang, the new leader of Yuyin Village, walked over to Tuan Zang and spoke in a humble tone.

He was instructed by Konoha to betray his boss Hanzo, and let Hanzo die at the hands of the Sand Hidden Ninja, after that, with the help of Konoha's power, he naturally became the new leader of Yuyin Village.

"Although we helped you become the leader of Yuyin Village, there are still many voices against you in this village, so be careful."

"Yes, just give me five years and I can ......"

"You will be given three years at most. I don't want three years from now, there will still be hostile Konoha in this village, and if you can't do that, this village will cease to exist. ”

Any threat to the existence of Konoha must be strangled.

This is the will of Danzo and the root of the dark part.

"This ......"

There was some hesitation.

"Hizai has decided to expand the number of activists in the roots, you know what that means, Zangzang."

Tuan Zang's face was expressionless, and his cold eyes looked directly at Kanzang next to him.

"The third Hokage-sama ......"

Kanzang's face sank slightly.

He originally thought that the matter of Yuyin Village would be handled directly by the third-generation Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash.

Although he had obtained the position of the leader of Yuyin Village with the help of the power of Danzang and Orochimaru, he did not want to cooperate with these two careerists at all.

Kanzo's heart was awe-inspiring, although it was rumored that the three generations of Hokage were kind and charitable, but when it came to the interests of Konoha, he didn't care about the difficult situation of Yuyin Village at all.

The third-generation Hokage handed over the management of the subsequent Yuyin Village to the roots, and gradually increased the power of the roots, which Kanzo did not expect.

"Put away your careful thoughts, do your job well, Konoha will not treat you badly. If you do a good job, I can invite you to join in place of Konoha and become Konoha's Shinobi. ”

Tuan Zang promised.

Kanzo smiled reluctantly and didn't answer.

There's nothing wrong with his brain, and the good leader of Yuyin is inappropriate, but he chooses to be a shinobi with no real power in Konoha.

Although he is subject to Konoha , as long as Tuan Zang is not present, Yuyin Village is his Yiyantang, and it must be more nourishing and freer than becoming Konoha Shinobi.

The beauty of power, he has already appreciated.

How can you give up what you have in your hands?

"By the way, Lord Tuanzang, what did you say over there?"

Exploration and transfer topics.

"Submit the peace papers, just recently, they are no longer able to attack Konoha."

Moreover, after this battle, Orochimaru's merits and fame have reached a higher level, coupled with the merits accumulated in the Second Ninja World War, becoming the fourth Hokage is already a sure thing, and it is impossible for anyone else to get involved.

Next, Orochimaru should take on an important position in the shadows to prepare for the fourth Hokage. Tuan Zang thought about the next step in his heart.

As the Hokage's direct subordinate force, the Dark Division, selected an elite seventy people from the tens of thousands of ninjas in the village, set up a total of two ministers and deputy ministers, and seventeen squads, each with four people. That's all the number of people in the shadows.

Now the minister and deputy minister of the dark department are all ninjas of the Sarutobi clan, and they are also the sons and daughters-in-law of the three generations of Hokage Hitoshi. Although he is also an excellent shinobi in the village, he can't be compared to Orochimaru, a candidate for the fourth generation of Hokage.

Therefore, the position of the minister and the deputy minister, and the next position will definitely be Orochimaru's. Let Orochimaru get in touch with the management of the Shadows, establish prestige in the Shadows, and then become the fourth Hokage, and everything will fall into place.

After all, the Shadow Department is the most powerful elite force in the hands of the Hokage, and it is also the most important force in the Hokage system, which must be controlled by the Hokage himself.

It is a matter of course that Orochimaru will master the dark part next, and there are no accidents.

And the era of root growth will also come completely.

Danzang saw an incomparably better future.

When he joins forces with Orochimaru, he must purge his conservative thoughts and use absolute force to deter all countries, so that they don't dare to covet Konoha from the idea.

Any minions that threaten Konoha must be cut off!

Just as Danzang was imagining these bright futures, a member of the Root suddenly appeared and knelt down on one knee in front of Danzang.

"Lord Tuanzang, there is an urgent letter from the village."

The Root Ninja holds the letter in both hands.

Tuan Zang didn't mind the presence of the Kanzang next to him, opened the letter and read it, his brows furrowed.

"Yun Yin finally can't hold it back? Forget it, let Orochimaru deal with it, and it's not bad to add another merit. ”

The content of the letter is simple, the Cloud Hidden Ninja is moving strangely in the Land of Soup, and there are signs of an attack on the Land of Fire.

It is estimated that he got the performance of Konoha on the battlefield of the Land of Rain, and he is also worried about continuing to wait and see, and there is no way to suppress the development of Konoha.

The reputation of the ninja village, in times of peace, means that it is affirmed by the commissioners of various countries, and it has a more stable financial income.

Yunyin Village has always wanted to compete with Konoha for the title of the strongest ninja village, and seeing the change in the situation on the battlefield of the Land of Rain, there is a great possibility that the Land of Fire will attack.

"Kanzang, I'm going back to Konoha now, Yuyin is here for you, Shayin doesn't have to worry, don't act rashly."

"Please walk slowly, Lord Tuanzang, come often when you have time."

It's better not to come back. Kanzo said in his heart.

The figures of Danzo and Root Ninja disappeared from the overlook in the cold rain.

◎

When he returned to Konoha's group, he went to the conference room of the Hokage Building as soon as possible, and did not go to rest.

Yun Yin's attack let him know the seriousness of the matter and couldn't delay it.

It is necessary to sign a peace document with Sha Yin as soon as possible, and then let Orochimaru take over and deal with the Yunyin forces of Yuno Country.

In the conference room, Hokage Hito, advisor Mito Menyan and Koharu are all here, and the meeting has just ended.

"You're back just in time, Tuanzang, we've already made a decision here."

Hizai put down the cigarette stick in his mouth and smiled at Danzo, who had hurried over.

"Then when will Orochimaru leave?"

Danzou nodded, and directly asked when Orochimaru would send troops to the country of Yu.

"Well, in fact, we have made other arrangements for Orochimaru."

Hizai hesitated on his face.

"Other arrangements?"

Hearing Hiza's words, Danzo raised his eyebrows and swept his gaze to Mito Menyan and Zhuankou Koharu, who coughed and turned their gaze away, not daring to look at Danzo.

Tuan Zang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. 、

"Yes, Orochimaru is a talented ninja, especially in his understanding of the arts, as well as his research ability, he is an outstanding talent in the ninja world. So, we've decided that Orochimaru's next destination is to go into your roots to further develop new technologies and fundamentally enhance Konoha's strength. ”

Into the roots?

Because things were reversed too much, Tuan Zang didn't react for a while.

Not only was he not sent to the Yunyin battlefield, but he didn't even enter the dark department, but entered a more secret department, the root.

Is that where the Hokage candidate should go?

The matter of roots is a top secret to most people in the village.

To go there is to give up your name, to give up all your fame, to give up all your personality, to become an anonymous contributor in the dark.

Orochimaru has also joined the root before, but as an overseer, it is fundamentally different from this addition.

Hidden in the snow! Danzang suddenly thought of this possibility.

Is it because the prestige is too high, and you are worried that you won't be able to control Orochimaru? Danzang glanced deeply at Hizai.

Danzang tried his best to restrain himself from being angry, and asked in a deep voice to the two advisors of Mito Menyan, "Do you also agree?" ”

"Yes, yes, although Orochimaru performed well on the battlefield of the Land of Rain and succeeded in getting Sha Yin to make concessions, the methods he took were not very open, and he was betrayed by his allies, which has a bad impact on the international community."

"Nonsense! War is not a game, and the most important thing is to be able to win. Orochimaru's ability to make Sagakure lose more than 3,000 ninjas at minimal cost has already proven his military ability! ”

Danzang stared coldly at the two centrist best friends, so disappointed in them for the first time ever.

"This ...... Betraying allies will not have a good impact after all. We still think it's better to let Orochimaru calm down. ”

Under the pressure exerted by Tuanzang, Koharu expressed his opinion.

"You're worried that the power of your advisor will be ruled out by Orochimaru."

Tuan Zang looked directly at the two of them, his words were extremely explicit, and his eyes were cold.

"Danzang, how can you say that? We have also worked hard for Konoha over the years. ”

Mito Menyan's face was gloomy, and this matter was indeed a little unauthentic for them.

Originally, they also agreed that Orochimaru would go directly to the Shadows next, but when they thought of Orochimaru's hardliners' approach to the same as Danzo, once they grasped the power of the Shadows and became the Hokage, I am afraid they would not take their two advisors seriously.

Therefore, together with the Japanese slash, Orochimaru can become the fourth Hokage, but the power of the dark department cannot be given to Orochimaru too early.

"Yes, Orochimaru is too sharp, and we are worried that ninjas from other villages will come and assassinate him."

Turning to bed, Koharu is still quibbling about his unbearable behavior.

"If Orochimaru is assassinated so easily, it is also his own lack of strength. But what you do will make him disillusioned with the village. ”

There was already a threat in Danzang's voice.

Seeing Danzo's tough attitude, Mito Menyan and Zhuankoharu sighed even more.

It was because of the mixing of these two hard-line martial arts factions that they had to let Orochimaru go to the root and hide for a while.

"We're doing it for his good, and he's going to need a while to calm down."

Tuan Zang was extremely disappointed in his heart and exhaled lightly.

He turned his head to look at the sun, the other party was holding a cigarette stick and smoking silently, there was no word, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated.

While being proud of the brilliant achievements of his disciple, he was also jealous of his disciple Orochimaru's prestige in the village at the moment, and it was precisely because of these two intertwined emotions that he felt complicated.

"Hizai, are you really going to do this?"

"No way. Orochimaru betrayed Yuyin, and he must give Yuyin an explanation. The will of the first generation of adults is to value harmony, this is the correct management method of the village, and Orochimaru lacks this talent. I hope he understands the essence of the will of the first adult. Otherwise, I don't feel comfortable entrusting the future of the village to him. ”

Tuan Zang calmed down the extremely turbulent mood in his heart.

"I see, just do what you say...... Hopefully, you won't regret your decision today. ”

Tuan Zang dropped this sentence with a flat expression and walked out of the conference room step by step.

There was a deathly silence in the conference room.

The three people in the conference room all knew that Tuan Zang was really angry this time.

If Danzang writes anger on his face, it reassures them, and hiding his emotions like this is really terrifying.

Hizai sighed, feeling physically and mentally exhausted like never before, and sat in his chair and muttered to himself:

"I also have my own difficulties, and the village can't stand the toss of the martial arts faction now. I hope you understand what I'm doing, Danzo, and I'm thinking about the future of the village. ”
