The land of ghosts, inside a dark and wide cave.

With a loud roar, the entire cave shook restlessly, and large pieces of rubble fell from above and smashed onto the ground, causing the earth to rumble.

The huge beetle beast shrank sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the brown-haired girl's body was shrouded in a staring red chakra feather, and then the red chakra feather slowly melted into the girl's body and disappeared from the body.

After integrating all the power of the tailed beast into her body, Rin's face was covered with sweat, her body was exhausted to the extreme, and the smile on her face was just barely hanging there, panting and standing there.

"Lynn!"

Obito ran over from a distance, calling Rin's name.

"Obi-......"

Murmuring, Lin felt a darkness in front of her, her brain was groggy, and her body fell straight forward.

With the earth's eyes, he stepped forward quickly, caught Lin's body that was about to fall to the ground, and steadily let Lin lean on himself without falling.

"Don't worry, look at her appearance, it's just that she is overtired and has passed out."

Uzumaki Kiriko, who was in charge of Rin's Perfect Human Pillar Power cultivation with Obito, also walked over from not far away, and while sealing it, he untied the powerful enchantment that shrouded him.

"That situation just now, isn't it different from usual?"

Obito thought of the situation just now, before he and Kiriko officially made a move, the power of the tailed beast was actively contracted back by Lin, although it was very reluctant, but it was indeed different from the usual performance.

"Well, being able to shrink the power of the tailed beast by himself, it seems that Lin's human pillar power cultivation has made great progress."

The previous Lin couldn't shrink the power of the tailed beast by herself, and she had to cooperate with Obito's writing wheel eye and her sealing technique to be able to do it.

Now that Lin is able to do it on her own, it is obvious that she has gone one step deeper again on the path of human pillar power, and the effect is extraordinary.

I already have the means to have the perfect human pillar power and freely control the power of the tailed beast.

Although there is still a long way to go from perfection and requires a lot of physical strength to do it, in general, there is already hope for becoming a perfect human pillar.

The time originally given by Baishi was three years, and now that Lin has officially carried out the cultivation of the Perfect Human Pillar Force, two years have passed, and in the next year, according to this progress, it should not be too much of a problem to become the Perfect Human Pillar Force.

"As Mizukage, you're a busy man, is there something wrong with the sudden arrival at this time?"

In the reception room, Shiraishi smiled at Yakura, who was sitting opposite.

Since the coup d'état in the Fog Hidden Village, Yakura has devoted a lot of time to work, focusing on restoring the power of the Fog Hidden Village as soon as possible.

If it's not an important matter, it's enough to send a message from your cronies, and there's no need to come over in person.

Allowing Yakura to take time out of his busy schedule, Shiraishi thought to himself that there must be something important that was worth Yakura's doing.

"I don't want to come over here to disturb me at this time, it's mainly because of the things you mentioned about Xiao that make me a little restless."

Although he has not yet dealt with Akatsuki's people, he is undoubtedly a very dangerous person in the eyes of Yakura who can gather S-level defector ninjas such as the Three Ninja Orochimaru and the Sand Hidden Genius Puppeteer Akasha Scorpion.

S-class defector ninjas are a group of unruly people who are difficult to determine, and every S-class defector ninja basically has the power to conquer a small country by themselves.

Especially the Orochimaru and the Red Sand Scorpion.

"For the time being, we just need to play steadily, we can't limit their pace."

Moreover, from the standpoint of the Oni no Kuni, it seems that there is no need to stop Akatsuki's actions.

The threat of Akatsuki lies in the distant future, which is very different from the threat of the five great powers, which is to carry out the present and the future.

Only by opening a small opening in the current monopoly system of the five major powers can he have time to deal with the things he knows.

At this time, having a bad relationship with Xiao is equivalent to erecting a huge obstacle for yourself, and this obstacle is, in many cases, more troublesome and tricky than the five major powers.

So even if he knew that Xiao's threat was very big, Shiraishi didn't want to deal with it, not to mention, Nagato also traded Yin Yang with him just in case.

This also provides a relatively stable development environment for the country of ghosts.

"I didn't think about restricting them, I can probably guess what you think, you want to wait for the final war stage, once and for all, to solve all the threats in one go."

"Well, if the original plan doesn't change. After all, with such a huge plan, an accident in a certain link may lead to a change in the plan, and it is not guaranteed to follow our route completely. ”

This plan is the result of discussing with the real warehouse.

If they want to end the system of one country and one village, all they can think of is the violent means of war.

Bloodless reform, or about the system of the state and the way of existence, is too difficult and time-consuming, and if necessary, it is necessary to make compromises with vested interests, and once compromises are made with vested interests, it means that the reform is not complete.

And neither he nor Yakura are people who like to compromise with others.

If you want to do it thoroughly, if you don't change it now, if you want to change it in the future, you will have to pay a hundredfold and a thousand times the price.

This plan is already in action.

The Star Ninja Village in the Land of Bears was the signal for the start of this plan, and it was also the first shot of silence.

"Now Konoha has weakened, Yunyin and Iwakuin are secretly accumulating strength, and the Sand Hidden Village is licking its own wounds, but the next era will be relatively peaceful, and the strength of the four ninja villages will gradually recover and develop. Xiao also took advantage of this gap period to complete a big transformation, although Xiao has not posed much of a threat now, but it can't be completely left alone. ”

Yakura said.

"What are you going to do?"

Shiraishi asked.

Yakura took out a document he had with him and handed it to Shiraishi.

Shiraishi picked up the document and opened it to read it.

The details of several ninjas are recorded on it, all of whom are elite ninjas from Fog Hidden Village.

Moreover, these elite fog ninjas all have one thing in common...... That is, their predecessor was the ninja of the Fog Hidden Blood Mist Sect, and they were subsequently released and recruited by Yakura.

The loyalty of these people should be no problem, and before Yakura took out this information, he had already conducted a detailed investigation of the above-mentioned Fog Hidden Elite Ninjas, and reviewed them many times before determining their loyalty to Fog Hidden Village.

"I see, do you want to stuff a nail in Akatsuki?"

After reading this document, Shiraishi immediately understood Yakura's intentions.

It is impossible for Yakura to take out these confidential materials for no reason and read them to him, there must be a deeper intention.

With further cooperation, some of the spy personnel of the Ghost Country and the Fog Hidden Village have actually been connected, that is, intelligence sharing.

Of course, the spies who are connected are all extremely loyal and reliable personnel, and they are scarce in number, but they are responsible for important intelligence transfer work.

If Yakura hadn't been forced by the aristocratic system of the Water Country, he wouldn't have made up his mind so quickly.

The painful lesson of the blood mist is vividly remembered, so that Yakura no longer has any trust in the aristocratic system of the land of water.

Trust needs to be maintained over many years, and the loss of trust often takes only a moment.

"You're more familiar with Xiao's affairs than I am, who do you think is more appropriate?"

Yakura does not deny Shiraishi's point of view, he does want to stuff a nail of his own in Akatsuki.

He calmly took a sip of tea and asked Shiraishi's opinion.

Shiraishi thought for a moment before giving the answer.

He put the document on the tea table in front of him, pressed his finger on the top piece of paper, and said, "That's it." ”

Dried persimmon ghost shark.

It's the nail that Shiraishi thinks is easier to use.

The original Blood Mist Ninja was not welcomed in the Fog Hidden Village, and he had the bad behavior of betraying his former boss, and all kinds of bad deeds showed that this person was a restless and dangerous person in the Fog Hidden Village, and many people suspected that his loyalty was problematic.

When the time comes, when he is full-fledged and does something detrimental to the interests of the Fog Hidden Village, betraying the village and becoming a defector ninja will be a matter of course, and it will not arouse suspicion.

The most important thing is that he is one of the seven ninja swords, and according to the evaluation given by Yakura on the data, his courage is even greater than that of the previous wielder of the Great Knife Shark Muscle Holder, the watermelon mountain puffer ghost, and the amount of chakra is also among the best among tens of thousands of misty ninjas.

Once he defects, he is capable enough to be classified as an S-class defection ninja.

According to Akatsuki's personality, powerful ninjas will be recruited as core members, and when the time comes, he will definitely find the ghost shark who is an S-level defector ninja, absorb him into Akatsuki, and carry out the tailed beast capture plan.

The cautious and calm personality of the ghost shark is also very suitable for this job.

"As I thought, I personally favor the oni shark and let him enter the Akatsuki to prepare for future wars."

Xiao's power is unknown, so find out Xiao's specific power as soon as possible, so as not to have a sudden war and can't deal with it.

"Then it's settled."

Shiraishi nodded.

There are no suitable people on the Oni Country's side, and many departments need people to manage them, and in the final analysis, there is a shortage of manpower.

With the rise of various industries in the country of ghosts, the number of people needed has gradually increased, and the existing manpower will naturally become tight.

"Well, that's it. You hear that, Oni Shark. ”

Yakura said.

After he finished speaking, behind Yakura, a puddle of water appeared on the ground at some point, and then the current began to bulge into a tall man.

Dark blue skin, with a shark-like face, a large knife with a white bandage on his back, and sharp teeth grinning.

"I hear you."

It's war, it's a spy, and to be honest, it's quite interesting for him.

By Yakura's side, there has always been a mysterious ally, and this matter is not a secret among the high-level leaders of Fog Hidden Village.

However, due to the fact that this ally is nowhere to be found, and Yakura's secrecy is in place, they have never known Yakura's real ally, who assisted Yakura during the coup d'état.

Therefore, this time following Yakura's hidden whereabouts to the country of ghosts, the ghost shark was quite unexpected, but it soon dawned on him.

Yakura has had in-depth cooperation with the country of ghosts a long time ago.

"Then, the ghost shark will ask you for the time being. How about half a year? ”

Yakura stood up from his seat.

"Half a year is enough, the problem of training him is not the key, you have to help him plan a reasonable experience of defection, Xiao Li is in charge of intelligence and search work, their eyes and ears are not simple, the less people know, the better."

"Well, I know. I've already asked someone to help me cover up in Wuyin Village, and the ghost shark's stand-in is also ready in the village. So, I'll take my leave. ”

Yakura didn't drag the mud and water, left the oni shark here alone, and left the reception room alone.

Even if the country of ghosts is not far from the country of water, and he only needs to take the sea route to reach it directly, but Yakura is worried that if he leaves the village for too long, what accidents will happen, and at this time, he needs to return to the village as soon as possible.

"Then, in the past six months, please advise, Mr. Chiba Shiraishi."

The merry laughter of the ghost shark resounded in the reception room.

◎

Spy.

Definitely not a good noun.

In the past, the ghost shark never thought that he would step into such a field.

However, there is no rejection of this ghost shark, for him, there is no kind of task to complete, as long as it is a task, it must be completed beautifully.

Ninjas can't just give up because of the difficulty of their mission.

Carrying out tasks, abandoning life and death, and carrying out with the determination to die is the most basic mentality.

Ninja fighting and espionage work is not about playing at home, betraying, disguise, killing, or even hurting their fellow people in front of others when necessary.

Oni has seen a lot of retired ninjas who have been spies.

Although he successfully retreated, he was blessed by the village and received a wealth of money to enjoy for the rest of his life.

However, due to various complex psychological problems, after returning to the village, life is not happy and peaceful, but accompanied by guilt and struggle.

This is what the ghost shark has seen with his own eyes.

Spying is a test of people's psychological endurance.

Proving to have a talent for being a spy is, to some extent, also a recognition of a ninja's mental endurance, albeit not very pleasant.

But the premise also says that since you are a ninja, you have to complete your mission beautifully.

No matter how difficult the task is, it should not be used as a reason to give up halfway.

Stepping into this path means bloody wind and rain, and seeing the true darkness of the ninja world.

An unsung hero, a hero who is spurned, the ghost shark does not feel that this will become a burden for himself.

Challenging missions are the meaning of ninja's existence.

Yakura gave him only half a year to receive spy training in the land of ghosts, and after half a year, he would return to the Fog Hidden Village, possibly taking on the position of a spy at any time and leaving the village.

I don't want to carry out spy training missions in Wuyin Village, because there are many people, and the ghost shark is not popular in the village, so when a person like him is receiving spy training, he will definitely be blocked by the high-level layers, resulting in Yakura's plan being wrong.

This is also the reason why Yakura brought him to the land of ghosts, because only here, the information of the ghost shark will not be exposed, and at the same time, it will not be hindered by the upper echelons of the fog.

Naturally, the ghost shark also understood this, so he began to learn how to be an excellent spy in the spy department of the country of ghosts.

It's just, the so-called Xiao, what kind of organization does it need to be treated so carefully by Yakura?

The ghost shark is a little interested in the organization he will join in the future.

I heard that this organization is a team of two, and I hope that after joining it, this organization will assign a strong and suitable teammate to get along with.

Challenging oneself and improving one's strength is also the path that ninjas must go through.

"Mom, I'm out on a mission, and I'll be back on time the day after tomorrow."

Itachi, who is already eight years old, has become an excellent ninja.

A year ago, he graduated with honors from the ninja school as a chief student.

He became the most representative genius ninja of the Uchiha clan.

This is enough to make Itachi the pride of the Uchiha clan.

However, Itachi didn't think there was anything unusual about this, and graduating from the ninja school as a chief student was just a feeling, and the achievement at his fingertips was not worthy of praise.

Although his father Fugaku held a banquet for him at that time, to be honest, it made Itachi feel helpless.

Fortunately, he has now officially joined the Shangnin team, following the guidance of Shangnin to go out on a mission, and what he thinks about is more to sharpen his talents and make himself stronger quickly.

But there was one thing that made Itachi feel irritable.

That is, he has not opened the writing wheel eye until now.

He didn't know how to open the writing wheel, which his father Fuyue didn't elaborate on.

"Be careful on the road."

Uchiha Mikoto smiled and nodded, and asked Itachi to say this.

"I see."

Itachi doesn't consider himself a ninja who is prone to carelessness, and gives it his all regardless of whether the opponent is strong or weak, which is a sign of respect for others.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, which is one of the ferret's favorite truths.

"Brother, when you come back, remember to bring me some gifts."

A boy smaller than Itachi appears next to Mai Koto and speaks to Itachi.

"Sasuke, don't do this, Itachi is out on a mission."

Mikoto helplessly looked at Sasuke, the youngest son who was spoiled by Itachi.

But for little Sasuke, I don't think he knows how dangerous it is to carry out a mission for a ninja.

At first, she didn't want Itachi to graduate from ninja school so quickly, and once she graduated, it meant that Itachi wanted to become a real ninja.

And a true ninja needs to see blood.

But her husband Fuyue said that when Itachi was four years old, he had already seen the real battlefield and had his own independent thinking.

So the battle on the mission is not worth mentioning at all for Itachi. To let him graduate late is to delay his growth and let his talent go to waste.

Unable to resist her husband's decision, Itachi also wants to grow up as soon as possible, so her proposal can only be buried.

If she could, she didn't like her children to follow the dangerous path of ninjas.

But on the one hand, as the son of the patriarch, Itachi must take on some of his responsibilities and work hard to strengthen the Uchiha.

Every time Itachi goes out on a mission, she has to feel distressed for a long time.

"It's okay, Mom, I'll do my best. If mom has anything to bring, I can help too. ”

Itachi turned his head and smiled softly at Sasuke, his eyes full of doting.

"If you can come back safely, it is the greatest gift to your mother."

Hearing Mai Trin say this, Itachi was also very moved.

Compared with a serious father, his mother, Mai Trin, always cares about his safety many times.

That's the difference between a father and a mother.

"Then I'm leaving, Sasuke must remember to listen to his mother well, don't make trouble, I'll bring you a gift when I come back."

After saying this, Itachi hurried out and went to the gate of Konoha to gather, and there was a blessing from Sasuke's 'brother is safe all the way' from behind him.

At the gate of Konoha Gate, the three shinobi in the team also arrived almost just now.

With the addition of the ferret, there are three men and one woman in total.

The leader of the team is the water no moon teak.

A man with a rather elegant name, Shinobi, but his appearance makes Itachi feel very regretful.

To be embedded in the short black hair, the forehead is like a strange broom-like eyebrows, and under such messy eyebrows, there are a pair of small round eyes like a fish......

In short, it looks like a man who doesn't look online.

But the appearance has nothing to do with the strength of the ninja.

Mizuki Yuzuki is an excellent Konoha Shinobi, and during this year, he gave Itachi a lot of help and taught him to become a talent, so that Itachi respected this Shinobi teacher very much.

The other two, one of them is called Izumo Denma.

The strength is average, and the appearance is ...... It's also average. Older than Itachi, it's just a relatively ordinary shinobi.

Itachi clearly sensed that the other party was jealous of his talent.

The last person was Inari Mako, whose appearance was quite delicate, and Itachi felt that there was something wrong with the way she looked at her, and it was very fiery.

Itachi had seen this kind of look countless times in the past in the ninja school - the eyes called nymphomaniacs.

Although the leader of the team and the two members of the team are ninjas with strange personalities and behaviors, itachi does not hate such an environment overall.

"Now that we're here, let's start the official mission. During this mission, the escort work may encounter some minor troubles on the way, but with me as a shinobi watching, the three of you can enjoy being active. The one who does the best, the teacher I have an extra reward. ”

Kamishinobi Yuzuki encouraged the three of them and smiled.

"Yes."

The trio, including Itachi, nodded.

◎

Inside the dimly lit room.

Tuan Zang opened his eyes, and his cold gaze swept to a certain position, and the oil girl Ryoma next to him also sensed that the insects in his body were not quite right, and looked at the same position as Tuan Zang.

A figure emerged from the ground, wearing a mask with strange patterns, shrouded in black, and wearing black gloves on his hands.

All over the body, only the right eye is exposed through the small hole on the right side of the mask.

The eye displayed in the small hole is a scarlet jade writing wheel eye with an evil aura.

"Hmph, you seem to be late."

Tuan Zang seemed dissatisfied with the other party's late arrival and arrival.

"I have something to attend to over there, so I'm a step late."

"You asked for it, and the old man didn't force you to do it, Madara."

Danzou continued to snort coldly, staring coldly at the black-clothed ninja in front of him, Madara.

"Hehe, the little ghost who could only tremble under my prestige at the beginning has now grown a pair of sharp teeth."

Madara said in a helpless tone, as if he was nostalgic for his eventful years in the invincible ninja world.

Danzang didn't answer, the mockery in his eyes represented his will.

Madara Uchiha, who was once invincible, has also learned the technique of hiding as a mouse, which is really ridiculous.

If it weren't for the need to use this guy, he would have directly ordered the roots to eradicate this old immortal guy.

It's a pity that because of the Hyuga family, he was very closely watched by the dark department, and his influence was shrunk in the village.

"After trading things, you can just leave. I'm being watched very closely by the shadows right now, and I've been in as little contact as possible lately. ”

Danzang said.

Madara didn't think so, even if he was targeted by the shadows, Tuan Zang also had the skills to get out, but he didn't want to communicate too much with him and leak more information, so he deliberately said so.

Tuan Zang was very wary of him.

However, at the moment, he and Tuan Zang have no conflict of interest, on the contrary, they share the same goal.

The enemy of his enemy is his friend, which is why he found Tuanzang.

However, I really want to ask Tuan Zang what it feels like for this guy to poop. Madara thought to himself.
