Chapter XXXVIII

When Shiraishi arrived at the underground training ground, it was exactly afternoon.

There is a built-in air conditioner, so you can't feel the heat on the surface at all.

"It seems that you have completely mastered the new power."

Shiraishi saw the scene in the training ground, and the sparring between the two was over, and he probably knew that after this period of training, Ruri and Ayane were both able to skillfully use their newly acquired strength.

After all, with the ninja talents of the two of them, as long as they are given a little time, they can integrate this new force and put it into actual combat.

On this point, Shiraishi was never surprised or surprised.

"Of course, although there is still some power that has not been excavated, it is not far from ten."

Ayane's words seemed very confident.

Ruri also nodded slightly, agreeing with Ayane's point of view.

The kaleidoscope writing wheel eye pupil technique in her left eye, the Eight Thunder God, although she is still being explored, and she herself has not been deeply involved in Lei Dun in the past, but she is very confident in her ninjutsu talent.

It's only a matter of time before you master this pupil technique.

As for Lei Dun's research materials, the Ghost Country military has also collected a lot.

In the past, Lin Yuyuri, one of the seven ninja swords in Wuyin Village, had left a large amount of Thunder Escape ninjutsu research materials as a reward before the other party left.

In addition, when she left Konoha at the beginning, she also took away some of the ninjutsu materials of the Uchiha clan, including Lei Dun, and fully used these Lei Dun ninjutsu materials, which was of great help to Lei Dun's learning.

I believe that it won't be long before Lei Dun's learning problem can be solved.

Unlike the right eye's psychic resistance type of pupil technique, the Eight Thunder God is an extremely extreme attack technique.

Learning and mastering Thunder Dun is a warm-up preparation before warming up the Eight Thunder God Pupil Technique.

"Don't be too complacent. After that, you make a summary of your newfound abilities and report them to me. Now that your abilities have undergone some changes, you will need to make some adjustments to your tactics in the future. ”

Teamwork, no matter when or where, is an important tactic that is built to last.

Within the Oni no Kuni military, this kind of team tactic is also promoted.

As long as the compatibility between people is properly coordinated, the power of one plus one is far greater than two.

This tactic has also been fully embodied in previous ninja wars, and is highly recognized by ninjas from all over the world.

Ruri and Ayane nodded, indicating that they understood, and would write a report to him.

"Speaking of which, Shiraishi-kun, the hidden dangers within the Ghost Country have been removed, when will the next step in the expansion plan be carried out?"

Ayane asked.

The first step of the Oni no Kuni's expansion plan has been completed.

That is to take the Star Ninja Village of the Bear Country as the first step of action, and then slowly encroach on the entire Bear Country.

This plan, two years ago, was already laid out in advance.

Now, with the help of the Oni Country, the Star Ninja Village has been rebuilt.

The high-level leaders of the original Star Ninja Village, led by the three generations of Star Shadows, were also merged into the military system of the Oni Country.

It is still called Star Ninja Village to the outside world, but in fact, it has long become an important military base installed in the Bear Country by the Oni Country, and the number of ninjas is as high as a thousand people.

Among these thousand ninjas, there are more than twenty shinobi.

There are more than 400 middle ninjas, and the rest of the ninjas are all lower ninjas, in charge of the logistics there.

However, after equipping the new ninja equipment of the Oni no Kuni, if the cooperation between the lower ninjas is distributed, they can also exert impressive strength.

For example, the Chakra armor that is being developed at the Snow Country military base, the kunai gun that improves the Sky Country, the flying ninja tool, and so on.

These standard ninja tools have initially formed mass production management, and gradually put into formal training, and ninjas who are not strong enough can rely on this standard ninja to greatly improve their combat capabilities.

It can be said that the thousands of ninjas in the Star Ninja Village Military Base, on the frontal battlefield, with the new ninja equipment in their hands and the new combat technology, can definitely fight head-on with the same number of ninjas from the five major countries, or even surpass.

But on the other hand, the cost of maintaining armaments, according to statistics, is likely to have surpassed those of the great powers.

Therefore, the high-level leaders led by Shiraishi adopted a strategy of elite troops, cutting the number of ninjas as much as possible, so as not to expand military needs and increase the financial burden of the Oni Country.

Dividing ninjas into regular ninjas and reserve ninjas is also a strategic consideration.

Full-fledged ninjas are naturally ninjas who are directly incorporated into the army and ready to go into battle at any time.

The Ninja Reserve Army is a candidate for replacement when the number of official ninjas is insufficient, so as not to encounter unexpected situations and insufficient ninja combat power, resulting in the collapse of the war.

Based on this premise, although the military strength of the Oni no Kuni has not been verified in practice, through various comprehensive internal estimates, it can also fight head-on with any major ninja village without falling behind.

Then, in this way, the military, which has expanded its military power to this point, naturally needs to complete the next military action.

With the Star Ninja Village as the core, the military has successively dispatched people to arrive in the country of bears, and then infiltrate the entire country of bears from the civil and official system.

The bridge between the country of bears and the country of wind has been basically completed, and only a suitable opportunity is needed.

Ayane can't wait for a big fight.

The Sand Hidden Village in the Land of the Wind is just right for her combat needs.

A small country ninja village of the level of the original capture of the Star Ninja Village can't be called a battle at all, it's just a complete superiority of crushing.

"At this time, it is a little too early for the country of Zephyrs to declare war. I am also preparing to convene a high-level meeting of the military to discuss this matter. In any case, it is not appropriate to take military action against the Wind Country, but in terms of time, it will take place in the next two or three years. But before that, it is necessary to include the Netherlands in the territory, so that the naval forces can be further deployed. ”

Naval power is also an important combat force envisioned by Shiraishi in the future.

The resources on land are extremely limited, and the larger marine resources are basically blank at the moment, but in the future, sooner or later, they will become the target of attention and contention of various countries.

Before that era arrived, Shiraishi wanted to lead the country of Oni to seize the opportunity.

Therefore, the development and utilization of marine resources is also imminent to be agile.

Because of this, the country of seclusion, which is as close to the ocean as the western part of the country of ghosts, has become a high-quality choice.

Not only that, but the Snow Country also has a port that can be used to develop a naval base and strengthen the control and exploitation of marine resources.

Resources are one of the most important foundations for development, no matter what the era. A country's economy and military are all based on resources for development.

"The Land of the Shadows? I remember that in this country, there is no ninja village, so it should be much easier to act than in the country of bears. Also, I've heard that there were rumors in the past that the Ghost Country wanted to be incorporated into the Ghost Country. ”

Ayane said as she remembered something.

The outbreak of the Great Ninja War was a time when the ninja village forces, a large country, were extremely rampant.

It is also a sad song for a small country.

Only a special neutral country like the Oni Country will be protected from the invasion of war and develop quietly on the edge of the ninja world.

Even a neutral country like the Land of Iron has had the experience of being innocently forced into wars in the past, and although they quickly broke away, they still can't change the fact that they were involved in wars.

The turmoil in the country of demons only happens once in a few decades, and that is the uneasiness and fear caused by the war between the witch and the monster spirit.

In addition, there is no more stable neutral country in the ninja world than the land of demons.

"Yes, but this kind of proposal was rejected by Maitreya Witch at that time. Maitreya Shrine Maiden also did not want to be disturbed too much by the outside world out of many considerations, so she did not accept the proposal of merging the country of ghosts into the country of ghosts. ”

Regardless of whether the Ghost Country has ambitions or not, once the Ghost Country is incorporated into the Ghost Country, it will definitely encounter a lot of international resistance.

Especially the big powers, led by the five major powers, will definitely block it.

However, Maitreya Witch is no longer there at the moment, and now it is Shion who sits in the main vein and becomes the new witch of the Ghost Country.

For the strategy of the Netherland, a little change can be made appropriately.

But this kind of plan change can only be carried out in the shadows like the country of bears, and cannot be surfaced for the time being.

The more times like this, the more you can't take it lightly, and you need to be extremely vigilant.

On Yakura's side, the pressure of Akatsuki has already been shared, and the country of ghosts only needs to devote itself to advancing and improving the expansion plan to see if there are any omissions.

"Next, while completing the merger plan of the Netherland, I will ask the debt collectors on the Chamber of Commerce to test the reaction of the Wind Country and the Sand Hidden Village. After that, let's make a decision. ”

Shiraishi made this decision.

β—Ž

Rain hidden.

The rain poured incessantly, and the rainwater flowed down the village's steel pipes into the sewers, where it became a huge canal outside the village.

It makes Yuyin Village look like a village built on water, wandering there alone.

In the middle of the tower, the dim light was on, and Bai Jue emerged from the ground, and in front of him, Nagato stood straight.

The reincarnation eye that lost its feelings brought a chilling sense of oppression to Bai Jue all the time.

"Lord Nagato, I've already inquired about what I told you before."

Bai Jue said.

"Tell me about it."

Nagato still stared at Bai Jue without emotion on his face.

Bai Jue was also accustomed to it, and continued to answer: "Since the dried persimmon ghost shark escaped from the country of water, he first wandered in the ninja world for half a month, and when he found his trace recently, he was wandering in the underground black market and did two bounty tasks, but at the same time, he was also stared at by the pursuit troops of Wuyin Village, and he was in a bad situation. ”

The attitude of ninja villages in various countries towards defector ninjas is basically zero-tolerance.

Especially this kind of S-class defector ninja who threatens the village and national security, it is a thorn in the side of the ninja village, and it is a thorn in the flesh.

But this is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Xiao to win over the dried persimmon ghost shark.

Xiao's current correct manpower, compared with the personnel of the peripheral organization, the core members of the inner circle are the most difficult to recruit.

So far, it is still mainly a few people from Orochimaru, working very hard for the organization.

If a powerful ninja can be recruited into Akatsuki at this time, Akatsuki's plan can also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

The dried persimmon ghost shark is one of the defected ninjas who was included in the watch list this time.

"After defecting, did you work on the underground black market?"

Nagato thought slightly.

To be honest, the data collection of the Fog Hidden Village is the most difficult ninja village among the five major countries to collect intelligence.

Before the First Ninja World War, the leader of the village, the second generation of the village leader, Mizukage Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon, adopted various institutional policies that emulated Konoha and established ninja schools and dark institutions to strengthen the military power of the Fog Hidden Village. Not only that, but the second-generation water shadow ghost lantern Phantom Moon has always advocated a confidentiality policy.

The so-called secrecy policy is an absolute secrecy of the ninja's life and ninjutsu ability.

This kind of secrecy is not only for the ninjas of the outer village, but also for the ninjas of their own village, and this kind of absolute supremacy of secrecy is adopted.

Secrecy originated from the second generation of Mizukage Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon, and was finally pushed to its peak by his disciple third generation Mizukage.

Although in recent years, after the four generations of Mizukage Goji Yakura took the throne, this so-called secrecy has been abandoned, but thinking of the perennial style of Fog Hidden Village, it is not something that can be lifted in a while.

This has also caused Xiao's difficulty in obtaining information about Wuyin Village to increase dramatically.

If you think about it carefully, since the Fog Hidden Village participated in the First Ninja World War, and then in the Second Ninja World War and the Third Ninja World War, it has not appeared on the stage.

If it weren't for the coup d'Γ©tat that the four generations of Mizukage launched a coup d'Γ©tat before taking office as Mizukage, the countries would still be ignorant of the bad situation inside the Fog Hidden Village.

In the third ninja war, the ninja villages of various countries suffered heavy losses, and the same was true of the fog hidden village.

The difference is that the ninja villages of the rest of the countries lost a large number of ninjas due to foreign wars, and the ninja casualties in the fog hidden villages were purely due to the outbreak of the civil war.

This is also the reason why Wuyin Village is secretly laughed at.

It's just that ridicule is ridicule, and everyone doesn't dare to underestimate any big ninja village.

In recent years, the Fog Hidden Village has also lived up to its expectations, recovering and developing at a very fast speed, and the graduation rate of ninja school students is also increasing year by year.

In such a favorable situation, the Daimyo of the Land of Water mysteriously died, and the Dried Persimmon Oni Shark, one of the Seven Ninja Sword, defected and became an S-class defector ninja, making the Fog Hidden Village and the Land of Water that were isolated overseas fall into the world's vision again.

Based on this situation, in line with the idea of recruiting new people for the organization, Nagato had the intention of recruiting dried persimmon onishi.

For this reason, he asked Bai Jue to collect information about the dried persimmon ghost shark, whether it was after the defection or before the defection, the intelligence information has a high reference value.

Soon after becoming a traitor, he quickly transferred to work in the underground black market, which shows that his life is in dire straits at the moment, and he has lost his source of money to make ends meet. The underground black market is the only place where he can support his family.

But there are still problems.

Nagato frowned and asked, "What is the reason for the defection of the dried persimmon ghost shark?" Have you figured it out? ”

Yes, Wuyin Village has not announced the specific reason why the dried persimmon ghost shark defected to Ninja Village.

It was an 'unknown' motive for the crime, and was identified as an S-class defector ninja by the high-level of the Fog Hidden Village.

In Nagato's view, this is a very incredible thing.

In the dried persimmon ghost shark, there must be other secrets hidden.

What's more coincidental is that together with the defection of the dried persimmon ghost shark, there is also the mysterious death of the daimyo of the land of water.

The two things are implicated, and it is not difficult to imagine that there is an inevitable causal connection in this.

At least, that's what Nagato thinks.

Bai Jue smiled and said to Nagato: "According to the information I have gathered, the dried persimmon ghost shark was in the fourth generation of Mizukage Goji Tachibana Yakura, when he went to the Daimyo's Mansion to attend a meeting, while the fourth generation of Mizukage was resting, the dried persimmon ghost shark suddenly attacked a large number of high-level officials in the Land of Water, including the Daimyo. Among them, the Daimyo of the Water Country died on the spot, and several high-ranking officials were also seriously injured, but fortunately, they were stopped by the four generations of Mizukage Yakura, who arrived in time, so that no greater tragedy occurred. ”

"Why did he attack the Daimyo of the Land of Water?"

Nagato asked.

For the causal relationship between these two items, anyone with a discerning eye can find some interesting things from them.

But more than that, Nagato is more concerned about the reason why the dried persimmon oni shark attacked the Daimyo of the Land of Water and killed him.

This is very important for Nagato.

Bai Jue pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Nagato, you should have heard about the Blood Mist Sect. ”

The Blood Mist Sect is a factional organization that secretly holds a large amount of real power in Fog Hidden Village before the fourth generation of Mizukage Goji Yakura ascended to power.

They adopted an extremely extreme strategy to transform the ninjas inside the Fog Hidden Village, and wantonly exclude dissidents, so that the sky above the Fog Hidden Village was shrouded in a bloody aura like blood mist all year round, summoning ominous.

However, this faction, after the successful coup d'Γ©tat of the fourth generation of Mizukage Goji Tachibana Yakura, was exterminated by the new Mizukage Yakura, and at present, within the Fog Hidden Village, the Blood Mist Sect has disappeared and completely lost its traces.

"The dried persimmon ghost shark is a ninja of the Blood Mist Sect?"

Nagato had also heard of the Blood Mist Sect.

"Yes. He was originally one of the former Seven Ninja Blades, a subordinate of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost. After the death of the watermelon mountain puffer ghost, he was taken into custody by Yakura. Later, I don't know why, I was released by Yakura, and I became one of the seven ninja swords in Fog Hidden Village, mastering the big knife shark muscle. It is said that before he defected, he was one of the bodyguards around Yakura, and was trusted by Yakura. ”

Bai Jue told the information he had heard.

"The Blood Mist Sect, detained, released, and became a member of the Ninja Seven, a confidant of the Mizukage...... Finally defected...... This is an incredibly complicated ninja resume. ”

Nagato frowned in thought.

"Not only that, according to the information I have gotten, the Blood Mist Sect that developed within the Fog Hidden Village back then seems to have the promoter of the Water Country Daimyo behind it, and it is remotely controlled behind the scenes."

"In other words, is this defection an act of revenge by the Oni Shark who held a grudge against the Water Country Daimyo for ruthlessly abandoning the Blood Mist Sect in the first place?"

Nagato nodded thoughtfully, quickly figuring out the key.

Actually, it's not hard to think about.

Things seem complicated, but in fact, knowing the cause and effect, this matter is no longer chaotic, but an incomparably obedient logical relationship, and there are traces to follow.

The Daimyo of the Land of Water financed the growth of the Blood Mist Sect behind his back, thus gaining access to the military power within the Fog Hidden Village.

However, the rise of the Blood Mist Sect, although relying on bloody means to suppress many opponents, also aroused the resistance of many Mist Ninjas.

One of the biggest opponents is the chiji Yakura.

As a result, Goji Yakura staged a coup d'Γ©tat to remove the ninjas of the Blood Mist Sect from the interior of the Fog Hidden Village, thereby ascending to the throne of the fourth generation of Mizukage.

After this, the Daimyo of the Land of Water did not hesitate to give up the remnants of the Blood Mist Faction, and instead supported Yakura as the victor, which undoubtedly angered the remnants of the Blood Mist Faction by only caring about their own preservation.

And in the Fog Hidden Village, although Yakura, who is the Mizukage, has no responsibility for the past identity of the ghost shark, and even gives him a heavy responsibility.

However, the identity of the ninja of the Blood Mist Sect still brought great inconvenience and trouble to the ghost shark in the Fog Hidden Village.

Even Yakura can't eliminate the villagers' rejection and resentment towards the oni shark.

The villagers of Fog Hidden Village would not trust a ninja who was once a member of the Blood Mist Sect.

The ghost shark, who endured to the limit in the village, made the irrational choice of defection in desperation.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the meeting between Mizukage Shikura and the Daimyo of the Land of Water, he used the identity of the Mizukage Guardian to kill the Daimyo of the Land of Water, which can be regarded as a way of 'farewell' for himself to completely say goodbye to the Fog Hidden Village, and it is also a kind of revenge for the Daimyo of the Land of Water who failed in the Blood Mist Sect and fell into the well.

After that, Nagato knew it clearly.

The oni shark, who became an S-class defector ninja, is homeless and can only rely on the trading platform of the underground black market to earn living expenses in the ninja world. It can be said that it is quite an embarrassing ninja for a lifetime.

"That's what Nagato-sama guessed. The dried persimmon ghost shark is now being pursued and assassinated by the pursuit force of Wuyin Village from time to time, and if we go over to help him cover his tracks and escape the round-up of the Wuyin pursuit force now, he will definitely be grateful. After that, recruit him in one fell swoop and let him join the organization. ”

Bai Jue thought that recruiting the ghost shark to join Xiao was just an easy task

Because no matter how glorious the identity was in the past, after becoming a traitor, you have to start all over again.

Only with the help of Xiao's power can the ghost shark avoid the pursuit troops of Fog Hidden Village.

In the face of a complete state machine, even if it is an S-class defector ninja, it can only be strategic.

"After observing for a while, we can't just make a hasty judgment. If he really doesn't have a problem, it's not too late to recruit him again. I'll leave this matter to you, Bai Jue. ”

Xiao's core members will inevitably not be able to pass with a simple review like peripheral members.

If you want to become a core member of the organization without the recommendation of the core members, you need to go through a rigorous review to determine whether you are suitable to be absorbed into the organization and contribute to the organization.

"Yes, then I'll go over and continue the investigation, wait for my good news, Nagato-sama."

Bai Jue grinned, and was about to dive into the floor to leave, when Nagato asked again:

"How's Konoha arranged?"

"The cooperation with Tuanzang, so far, is quite stable, and there are no accidents. Does Nagato-sama have any other orders? ”

Bai Jue thought for a moment and answered.

"When the time is right, you can give Danzou a little more help, we need him to contain the attention of the three generations of Hokage. Let Fei Duoduo come into contact with Tuan Zang, but also remember not to show his stuff in front of Tuan Zang. Mr. Madara's name is still quite deterrent. ”

As long as the Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash's gaze has been focused on Konoha and cannot get out of the internal situation of Konoha and look at the outside world, it will undoubtedly be a great success for Akatsuki.

And among Konoha, the only person who can contain the three generations of Hokage is Shimura Danzo.

Therefore, the leader of the roots, Shimura Danzo, is definitely a goal worthy of Xiao to do his best to win over and cooperate.

The other party's ambition to aspire to the position of Hokage can be used to the fullest.

Bai Jue nodded, indicating that he understood, and disappeared into the ground.

After Bai Jue left, Nagato walked to the rain platform outside the tower, and from this height, he overlooked the rain-soaked village.

"Dried persimmon ghost shark, I hope it won't disappoint me......"
