"The pillars are dead..."

Li Kuan muttered, his eyes flickering.

After arriving at the Hokage plane, Li Kuan unlocked the shadow clone and took over its memories.

And from these memories, he got a shocking piece of news.

Dead in the columns!

After the battle with Madara Uchiha, Senju Tsuruma, who was seriously injured and has not healed to this day, finally couldn't survive and died!

The news is staggering.

You must know that at this time, in addition to being the Thousand Hands Pillar and the Hokage of Konoha in the pillars, the pillar also represents the order of the ninja world.

Because of his existence, all forces in the ninja world did not dare to act rashly, and there was peace for more than ten years.

Now, as soon as he dies, it means that the ninja world is about to be chaotic.

"It seems that the first ninja war is coming!" Li Kuan thought to himself.

Speaking of which, over the years, in fact, the major ninja village forces have also been holding back a fire.

Although the emergence of the ninja village has brought together the families of each country, there are some things that do not mean that they will disappear when united... Such as hatred!

The families of various countries have been fighting for countless years, and the hatred has long been ingrained.

In this case, even if the ninja village is established together, the hatred will not disappear easily, but within the framework of the ninja village, it is slightly restricted, so it does not break out.

But if a framework limits the outburst of hatred, it can also deepen it!

It's like a spring!

While the spring is being suppressed, it is also accumulating.

People who already have an enmity have been in the same place for a long time, and it is inevitable that friction will occur again, and this friction cannot completely break out and vent under the restrictions of Ninja Village, but can only continue to deepen and accumulate.

It is foreseeable that one day in the future, the accumulated hatred is too great, and the various ninja villages can no longer be suppressed completely, which will cause a complete backlash and eruption.

When the time comes, it will be light for the ninja village to be torn apart, and it may even perish because of it.

Of course!

The shadows of the major ninja villages basically know this... There is no way, there is no simple character in this era.

Moreover, they also know that the best solution --- to transfer internal contradictions to external contradictions!

Starting a war with a certain country gives the ninjas a place to vent their hatred and energy, so that the major families in the ninja village will naturally have an outlet, and the hatred will no longer accumulate, and there will be no kung fu infighting.

Again!

As long as we fight together on the battlefield, then those hatreds in the past will naturally be resolved.

So, here's the best solution!

Against this background, the outbreak of World War I was an inevitable consequence.

Only when there is a war can the contradictions within the various ninja villages be resolved.

However, because of the existence of this pacifist in the Thousand Hands Pillars, even if the shadows of the various ninja villages knew how to resolve it, they did not dare to move.

Well, they want to start a war and divert contradictions, not to be destroyed!

And now that the Thousand Hands Pillar is dead, they naturally have no scruples.

Thinking about it, Li Kuan frowned and said, "However, what can you do after the war?" ”

Although the first ninja world war will begin, Li Kuan is basically sure that if the Great Chu Kingdom does not take the initiative to attack, it basically has nothing to do with this war.

Why?

Because of the benefits!

Although the Great War is a way for each ninja village to transfer the inward contradiction into an outward contradiction, while resolving the contradictions in the village, interests are also an important consideration for each ninja village.

You can't fight a war and lose blood, right?

Then even if there are no internal contradictions, the village will fall apart because there is no money!

In this case, taking into account the national conditions of various countries, the Great Chu State is definitely not the first target, and it is not even the goal of others.

Well, although Da Chu is not bad for money, it is also feared by other countries in terms of force.

Not only are there two-tailed beasts, but there are also firearms.

Although firearms are not invincible in the eyes of ninjas, they are especially useful in dealing with middle and lower ninjas, and as long as they form a dense network of firepower against upper ninjas, they also have a chance to kill.

In this case, coupled with the fact that there are not many ninjas in each ninja village in this era, even the five ninja villages only have thousands or even tens of thousands of ninjas, and the risk is too great to deal with a country like the Great Chu State that has Sand Hidden Village, and also has hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of guns!

Therefore, the first and most likely target for the other ninja villages to deal with is Konoha.

Konoha has no firearms, and as a second-generation eye, although the Thousand Hands are also a well-known existence in the ninja world, they are still a hundred million points behind the Thousand Hands Pillars.

Especially in terms of strength, he has the reputation of being the fastest in the ninja world, but he is far from invincible.

Each ninja village has a presence that can deal with him.

In this case, in addition, the country of fire is also the village with the richest resources among the five major countries, and it is exactly in the middle of all the ninja villages, close to all the ninja villages, who will the other ninja villages fight if they don't fight it?

And Li Kuan is thinking about it, in this case, what can he do, whether he can take the opportunity to take in a little benefit.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Kuan soon made a decision in his heart.

"Let's act at the opportunity, although it is basically impossible for other countries to attack my Great Chu State, they will definitely guard against my Great Chu State, so let's see how their actions are first, and then decide how to absorb benefits!"

It's a bit of a casual idea, but it's the safest way to deal with it right now.

In fact, if he could, Li Kuan would also want to kill the Quartet, or even directly annex the entire Hokage plane.

But no!

It's not because of how strong the other four powers are!

Although the other four great powers also have a bit of strength and power, he is not unable to deal with them now, even if the four major powers go together, he will not say that he is afraid of anything.

But there are not only the five great powers in this plane, but also the existence of old silver coins such as Madara, Jue, and Six Dao Immortals, and under the deterrence of these old silver coins, Li Kuan does not dare to do any large-scale actions.

Once he wants to annex the Hokage Plane and show his meaning and strength, these people will definitely come out to stop it.

Because doing so affects their plans.

Therefore, he can only act at the opportunity.

"Shamen, how's the research going?"

Coming to Shamen's laboratory, Li Kuan looked at Shamen, who was immersed in research, and asked.

"Oh, Your Majesty, here you are!"

Hearing this, Shamen turned his head and said, "I'm still stuck in the last step... The regeneration core and the tailed beast chakra are fused well, and I have made a regeneration core that can restore the chakra on its own, but there is always something lacking in how to inject the soul! ”

"Soul?"

Li Kuan raised his eyebrows, touched his chin, and said thoughtfully, "Speaking of souls, there are only a thousand hands in the ninja world, and the Kato clan and the Uzumaki clan of Konoha have more research, if you can get the techniques or materials in their hands, it is estimated that it will help your research!" ”

"yes!"

Shamen listened and nodded in agreement.

But then, he shook his head again and said, "But it's not easy to get these materials from these people!" ”

"Don't say it, there's an opportunity right now!"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Kuan's mind, and he suddenly had an idea!

The battle is about to begin!

If you make some articles through the First World War, it is not impossible to get these materials.

"What chance?" Shamen hurriedly asked.

"The Thousand Hands Pillar has been dead for the past few days!" Li Kuanzheng said.

Shamen was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and fell into thought.

And after thinking about it for a long time, he hesitated, "Your Majesty means... Take advantage of the coming war? ”

Shamen's brain is still very good.

With just Li Kuan's words, he probably figured out the situation that might be caused by the death of the Thousand Hands Pillar, and he also roughly understood what Li Kuan's so-called opportunity was!

"If nothing else, Konoha is definitely the most vulnerable country to attack this time for the five major powers, once they are attacked, in the case of being attacked on the back, we only threaten, and it shouldn't be a problem to get the relevant techniques and knowledge!" Li Kuanzheng said.

"Yes, at that time, they could only obediently accept their fate!" Shamen said excitedly.

"However, how to do it, we still have to see the situation at the time!" Li Kuan said in a deep voice.

"That's it!" Shamen thought for a moment and nodded.

"That's... I'll leave it to you this time, and you can see how to do it!! Li Kuan said suddenly.

"It's... Not okay? I'd like to look into something else! Shamen hesitated.

As a scientific researcher, he is not without combat power, and even his combat power is the top of the ninja world, but he prefers to study things, so he doesn't want to go out.

"Now you also know the situation in the village, Lie Dou is dead, the only two shadow-level combat power in the village, you and me are left, and I need to deal with the affairs of the country and the village, and I also need to sit in the village and the country, if you don't go, there will be no threat to Konoha!" Li Kuan shrugged his shoulders and said.

Originally, Li Kuan thought that he would have a battle with Lie Dou for power in Shayin Village.

But who knows, the accident will come sooner than tomorrow.

Just a few years ago, Liedou died of illness.

As a result, Li Kuan naturally took over Shayin Village.

Therefore, now he is the emperor of the Great Chu State and the shadow of Shayin Village.

"Okay... Let's do it! Shamen reluctantly agreed.

Although he didn't want to go out, he wanted to study more, but considering that this time it was also for research, and Li Kuan also needed to sit in the village and the country, he really should go, so he went.

"Okay, don't complain so much, isn't that disciple of yours Chiyo already reached the peak of the upper ninja, and is only one step away from the shadow level?"

"You take her out this time, focus on training, she should be able to break through the shadow soon, and this kind of thing can be handed over to her in the future, you don't have to do it yourself!" Li Kuan said with a smile.

As the ancestor of the puppet and the ninjutsu that manipulates the sand, Shamen has many disciples who follow suit.

And the most famous of them is Chiyo.

Not only did she inherit the puppetry of Shamen perfectly, but she also made great progress in medicine and was regarded as a woman who could become the second Shamen.

Shamen's eyes lit up, he patted his head, nodded in agreement, and said, "Yes, I can focus on cultivating Chiyo, and I can leave everything to him in the future!" ”

"When you come back this time, I'll give you some more research funds and give you another surprise!" Li Kuan said with a smile.

The surprise was Earles' corpse.

As a third-order wizard, Earles himself is not bad in physical strength, and it is not bad to use it to refine puppets.

And the reason why he wanted to come back from Shamen was because Li Kuan himself wanted to take this time to study his corpse, and after the research was finished, he just threw it to Shamen as a puppet.

In this way, it can be said that the residual value of Elleles has been squeezed out.

"Surprise!?"

Shamen raised his eyebrows.

"Surprise!"

Li Kuan nodded with a smile and said, "As for what surprise... Then don't ask, it's a surprise anyway! ”

"Then I... See! Shamen replied with a smile.
