Towards the end of the year, the country of waves, which is across the sea from Inaba country, was not affected by the cold snap of ice and snow on the continent, only the fog became thicker in the morning and evening, and there was no further change.

The fjords between the islands are home to krill brought in by warm and cold currents, attracting a large number of whales and other large and small marine life that feed on them.

Such a prosperous scene naturally attracts many people who make a career out of it.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea.

Many of the hard-working but poor young people have the dream of venturing to the ocean, seeking the opportunity to get rich, and changing their fate.

Among them, Kaisha is a typical one. No one knows where his hometown is, only that he came to the country of waves with some hope.

I struggled here for several years before I was barely accepted by the locals.

He is hardworking, solid in his work, and a warm-hearted young man. If you want to talk about advantages, this guy who left his hometown in order to chase his dreams has the quality to become a winner in life.

Unfortunately, this world is not always right and not very kind, especially in the land of waves.

The hard-working Kaisha has been recognized by many local residents, hoping to follow him to change his fate, and he is not willing to be a peaceful young man, but also willing to obey his command.

Prestige and power followed.

But this loose organization built on the sand dunes is like a thorn in the eyes of the ground snake Cardo.

The bigger mistake is that Kaisha, who has no backstage and no power, blocks the way for the big people to get rich.

When the laboratory of the Furusugi family and the "Root" organization was secretly established here, the signs of turmoil in this small coastal country were also detected.

Cardo, a big businessman who controls the shipping business, is not a kind person, and once the obvious means cannot suppress the resistance of the locals, the black hand that cannot be put on the stage can no longer be stopped.

Although the local street thugs have been in vain, and the inhabitants have largely rallied under the influence of Kaisha's charisma to keep the coveters from going too far, the stalemate will not last long, and Cardo is said to be ready to hire traitors and pirates to purge the disobedient country.

"Here...... It's a nice place, calm and calm, suitable for building bridges, if you connect the two main islands, and then make a route to the mainland, or even simply build a bridge across the sea to Inaba, this island country, the future is limitless. ”

Terai, who wears an animal mask, hasn't been to this place for many years, and in the third ninja war, as his boss came to investigate the movements of the misty ninja, he said something similar, and now, he just repeats it to the general effect.

Yasukawa Zaihara, who was in charge of negotiating the follow-up with the Konoha ninja, put down the binoculars in his hand and smiled at the allies beside him:

"A few islanders are self-governing and call themselves the wild land of the country, even if they have a future, what does it have to do with us? You also know that the Gushan clan is not an ordinary wealthy businessman, nor is it a small nobleman who has never seen the world, and the interests in this corner are actually not very valuable. ”

Indeed, with the country of vortex, the country of waves is not irreplaceable, and the deep-water port is indeed important, but more important is the huge market it relies on.

As long as Gu Shanbu ordered the blockade of the country of waves, the islanders here could not even buy fishing nets, and without the support of civilized society, the small country and the widows were only worthy of being savages.

"I thought you put the cooperation plan here because you had a crush on this country......"

"No, you may be mistaken, the so-called country of waves, we admit that he is the country, from the beginning, this place has been in the hands of the Gusugi clan, and in the past, it was left unattended because the cost of governance was too high, beyond the benefits that could be obtained."

For many years, the Furusugi family has turned a blind eye to the country of waves, not because they can't see the value in it, but because the investment and risk are too great, and it is not worth investing valuable manpower and material resources.

The ninja world is so big, and some are more valuable territories, so why waste time in this bridgehead of the Three Kingdoms?

"Oh? That means now you're willing to expand your sphere of influence? ”

"You misunderstood me."

Yasukawa denied it,

"The Gushan family will not intervene directly, that's not our habit."

Whether it is the Star Ninja Village in the Land of Bears or the Heavenly Wisdom of the Sea Country, Gu Shanbushui is looking for an agent to come forward. The risk of going straight to the end is too great, and acting as an arbiter behind the scenes is what the real superior should do.

Once the Gushan family needs to fight hand-to-hand, it means that the degree of danger is already very unusual.

In the way of supporting agents, the position of the Furusugi family is expressed, and it is not contaminated with troublesome cause and effect.

"Only, there is an exception......"

Terai said leisurely, Yasukawa Zaihara did not shy away from it, and responded calmly:

"The reconstruction of the country of the vortex is a bit special, the whirlpool clan is not ordinary, and this involves a little selfishness of the young master."

The standard of the young lady that the Gushan family can accept, Momiji can't reach it, no matter how much Gushan Bushui wants to push her, and even if she becomes a noble court lady, she is still considered to be attached. No matter how well you do a good job, you only get a little fame, and it won't really make people look at it differently, and it will even give birth to the delusion of "I can do it too".

Only by finding another way and breaking out of a career in a unique way can it be regarded as a strong alliance.

In essence, the Furusugi family is not a state, but a freak formed by the marriage of a large chaebol led by the Furusugi clan and an aristocracy, and the marriage of each generation of heirs is an opportunity for internal power and interest redistribution.

The lonely Red Leaf became the wife of the Young Governor, just like insider trading in the financial market, allowing "irrelevant" people to occupy the benefits in the system; If Momiji marries as the head of the Vortex Country and the Uzumaki family, it will be a "capital increase and share expansion", although there is a suspicion of improper "related party transactions", it is completely reasonable in name, even if there are objections, it is a big deal to pull Konoha Village to endorse it, presumably Konoha Ninja also wants to make up for the mistakes made more than 20 years ago.

Shimura Danzo was able to send Ichii to preside over the affairs of the country of waves, so he must know a little bit of the inside story.

The two chatted for a while, and Yasukawa Zaihara suddenly understood, and couldn't help asking:

"Could it be that Elder Tuanzang also wants to interfere in the reconstruction of the Vortex Country?"

"Can't you?"

"I can't be the master, but ......"

Yaskawa Zaihara thought for a moment and replied,

"In my personal opinion, the young master doesn't mind dealing with you, but now is not the time, and the restrictions will not be lifted until the rebuilt vortex country is recognized by the world."

"Besides, just ask, we haven't thought about getting involved too deeply now, after all, there is enough trouble."

Shimura's injuries are the key to the sensitive nerves of all members of the "Root" organization.

Once the top boss loses his position in Konoha Village, some things will not be easy to handle.

In the past, he was able to subdue a group of ninjas and send people into the "root" organization, driven by Shimura Danzo, and the prestige of the "darkness of the ninja world" was indispensable.

Now, the famous old man is showing his decline, and I am afraid that some people will also have the intention of temptation.

For example, the oil girl clan agreed to send out the clansmen, so they pushed back and did not respond, Yamanaka and Hinata were not so obedient, only the Nara clan was still as usual, but they were known for their brains, and it was difficult to guarantee that they had other ideas.

Not to mention those who deviate from morality, those who are still doing their best should be more worried, maybe those seemingly loyal ninja children will have the idea of taking advantage of the magpie's nest and replacing them.

"I hope Elder Tuanzang can get better soon, the young master is still waiting to talk about the next step of cooperation!"

……

At the same time, the "darkness of the ninja world", which was mentioned, met Orochimaru who had lost contact for a while in the underground base of the "root" organization.

Today's Orochimaru, who is over forty years old and one of the former "three ninjas" in his prime, has theoretically begun to decline in his physical condition, but he looks like he is in his early thirties, and there is no sign of aging at all.

"You...... Already successful? ”

Shimura Danzo's eyes widened and asked incredulously,

"How could it be so fast, it should have been ...... last time"

I don't know how to say the "darkness of the ninja world", and the surprise in his tone is overflowing.

"Thank you for your support, otherwise, it wouldn't have gone so well."

Orochimaru showed a weird smile and looked playfully at the seniors who were in extremely bad physical condition,

"It turns out that without the support of the vitality of the first generation of cells, will the physical condition deteriorate to this point rapidly? The aging body, no matter how clever the mitigation means, cannot change the essence. Sure enough, this path to immortality is wrong......"

"Forbidden Technique, No Reincarnation, you shouldn't have been allowed to succeed in the first place."

"What angry words? If I hadn't gone further now, how could I have seen you again? ”

As if sensing the worry of the old man opposite, Orochimaru calmly relieved his doubts,

"Rest assured, we are mutually beneficial partners, and we will not embarrass you, but it is better to say that you are like this, but it makes me a little difficult to deal with."

If Shimura Danzou had lost his authority and influence in Konoha Village, Orochimaru's cooperation with him would not have gone so smoothly.

Today's Great Snake Pill does not have the same insight as it did more than ten years later, and can completely detach itself from the resources of the outside world and perfect the magical forbidden techniques one by one.

At the very least, many experiments require special test items to verify the conjecture, and without the cooperation of Shimura Danzo, it is too inefficient to find it on your own.

"I'm not there enough to need your mercy."

Shimura Danzou said very seriously,

"There are still remnants of the wood escape ability provided by the original generation cells, but there is not enough chakra and life force to drive."

It's better to say that this crippled state is better now, once the first generation of cells and Mu Dun are activated again, it will let the brutal devouring effect eat itself up.

Today's Shimura Danzo has no resistance to the backlash of various forbidden techniques, and it is already very difficult to maintain his body from further deterioration.

"That'...... What are you going to do? ”

"This body is no longer good, even if it is barely repaired, it can't reach the previous peak, so ......"

As he spoke, Shimura Danzo's eyes glowed with a burning light, looking at Orochimaru, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling,

"I want all the information on your forbidden art, immortal reincarnation."

"Sure enough, even if it falls to this point, the 'Darkness of the Ninja World' will not change its true colors. I can agree to your request, but what are you going to give in exchange? ”

Hearing this, Shimura Danzou suddenly frowned, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Orochimaru's reaction was beyond expectations, and his aggressive attitude made the plan of "Darkness of the Ninja World" unexpectedly discounted a lot.

"Could it be that the effect of the strongest illusion spell is nothing more than that?"

In order to preserve Orochimaru's unparalleled research ability to the greatest extent and not destroy his mode of thinking, Shimura Danzou was also very troubled at first, and he took great pains to control how to control him and cooperate with him.

The psychic hints of Illusion and Other Gods are not strict, in order to squeeze its value to the maximum, there is no way to do it, but what follows is that the other party's attitude of cooperation is not honest enough, especially after knowing that the other party has changed his body, whether it has affected the effect of Illusion and Other Heavenly Gods, Shimura Danzo is becoming more and more uncertain.

There is no absolute thing in the ninja world, and the strongest illusion that cannot be lifted is naturally not foolproof.

At this point, Shimura Danzou is mentally prepared. But this day came too quickly.

"What do you want?"

With a quick turn of thought, Shimura asked tentatively,

"Don't think about unrealistic things, think clearly before you speak."

"There is still one member of the Uchiha family who is not dead, give him to me."

"Nope."

The neat and unexpectedly "Darkness of the Ninja World" responded,

"The three generations are staring, and it's not easy for me to interfere."

"There is no absolute, it shouldn't be reluctant, or maybe you have a crush on him, right?"

Orochimaru, who seemed to be smiling casually, broke through what Shimura Danzo thought in his heart with one word.

"Don't think I'm as bad as you, there is such a thing as integrity and justice in the world."

"You just killed his entire family, and you are qualified to say such things?"

The Shimura group that was squeezed sank like water, and now he has a request for Orochimaru, and there are some things that he has to pinch his nose to admit.

"At least, not right now."

"It's okay, the little guy now is too immature, and he doesn't have ten years of training, so it's not worth starting."

After thinking about it, Orochimaru also agreed with Shimura Danzo's meaning, anyway, it's not just Uchiha Sasuke as an option, there is a more suitable Uchiha Itachi outside, if you can get his body, it is obviously much more convenient than cultivating Uchiha Sasuke.

Saying that, Orochimaru took out a huge scroll, which was the experience of studying the forbidden art and immortal reincarnation over the years, as long as Shimura Danzou was not too stupid, he should be able to learn it.

As for whether he can successfully seize the body of another ninja after casting, and whether he will be counterattacked, it is not a question that Orochimaru should worry about.
