Chapter 444: Chessboard
The reason why the country of grass went to great lengths to plant fragrant phosphorus into Konoha and steal the Nine-Tails was to open this war weapon called the 'Box of Bliss'.
Previously, because his privileges in the Archives had been upgraded, Shinji went out of his way to investigate the 'Box of Bliss' just in case.
In many historical documents and legends, there are records of the 'Box of Bliss'.
Hundreds of years ago, when the ninja world was still in the Warring States period, the country of grass swept through several surrounding countries and established a huge empire with the 'Box of Bliss'.
The country of grass during this period was indeed able to run rampant in the ninja world.
However, the 'Box of Bliss' is not something that can be tamed by human beings.
As time passed, the Land of Grass gradually lost its ability to control the 'Box of Bliss', and the empire that rose from the 'Box of Bliss' quickly collapsed.
This period of history has slowly become a thing of the past.
After the first generation pacified the troubled times, the ninja world bid farewell to the chaotic Warring States period and entered the relatively stable ninja village era.
The country of grass also followed suit to establish its own grass ninja village, but after entering the era of ninja villages, the strength of grass ninja villages could not be compared with the five major ninja villages at all, and it soon became a second-rate ninja village, completely losing the right to speak in the ninja world.
The cruel reality and the glory of the past make the ninjas of the grass ninja village feel tormented by the sense of disparity. Therefore, they pinned their hopes on the 'Box of Bliss' and tried to use this weapon of war to complete their rise again.
"Maybe that's why ghosts can easily infiltrate the Grass Ninja Village!"
Shinji sighed lightly.
He hasn't been idle these days, and as he continues to gather intelligence, he has roughly sorted out the causes and consequences of the big melee in Kusanobu Village.
At first, it was supposed to be the ambitious 'Kusa no Shi' faction who came into contact with the oni, and under the bewitchment of the demons, they became the first ghosts among the ninja ninja natives.
Then the 'Grass no Shi' faction that got on the thief ship was controlled by ghosts, causing the Grass Ninja Village to become a paradise for ghosts, and then, the entire Grass Country became a hunting ground for ghosts.
The ghosts he encountered who were not 'upper' and 'lower', but whose strength was comparable to 'upper-string ghosts', should have been the ghosts that were raised in batches with the flesh and blood of ninjas containing chakra during this period of time.
"What about the real 'winding ghosts'? What exactly are they playing? ”
As soon as the thought turned, Shinji fell into deep thought.
Although he eliminated a few of the 'Upper String Ghosts', the 'Upper String One' Oni Tanjiro, the 'Upper String Sword' Black Death Mou, and the Naruto who controlled the Infinite City still existed, and they were the real threat!
At this time, Ido, who had adapted to the 'Nakami Space', said as if offering a treasure: "My lord, we have found someone from the dark here! ”
Shinji's face sank: "The one who knows? ”
Without waiting for Shinji to inquire in detail, Sasuke on the other side got up and asked in a hurry, "Have you seen Uchiha Itachi?" ”
Everyone looked at it in unison.
Sasuke's performance was too eager to hide it at all, so even though his body and voice were masked in the 'Nakami Space', it still made the members present who didn't know his identity have all kinds of speculations in their hearts.
Ido shrugged: "I don't know what the Uchiha Itachi looks like!" ”
Sasuke was anxious: "You guy! ”
Shinji raised his hand, interrupting the argument between the two, and then instructed Ido, "Describe what you encountered." ”
Ido hurriedly described the physical characteristics of the group of members of the Akatsuki organization she had seen from afar.
After listening, Shinji said, "The two people you found should be Kakuto and Feidan. ”
"Kakudu and Feiduan?"
Ido muttered, recalling information about the two men.
Seeing that it wasn't Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke also quieted down.
Xiang Phosphorus asked at this time, "My lord, why did they also come to the country of grass?" ”
Shinji shook his head.
To be honest, he's confused right now!
Bai said: "My lord, the ninja army of the five great ninja villages is converging towards the country of grass, and the people of the dark are also active in the country of grass, plus the ghosts that are wreaking havoc in the country of grass, in the coming week, I am afraid that the territory of the country of grass will be in chaos." ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
White's worries hit the nail on the head.
At present, the country of grass has become a large powder keg, ghosts, the five ninja villages, Dark Dawn, and their dawn, many forces are mixed together, and if there is no charter, the future will definitely fall into a big melee.
Feeling the gazes of everyone at the round table, Shinji on the main seat fell into thought.
The ghost infiltrated the Kusa Ninja Village, which was beyond his expectations, but it was not bizarre.
What really unsears him at the moment is the collective concealment of the 'Upper String Ghost' and the trace of the mysterious 'Lantern Bearer' who has destroyed the world.
"The other party is so unscrupulous, just wants to pollute the ninja world, so when my 'lamp' is suppressed, I have already lost the possibility of perfectly solving this invasion."
Tuk tuk
Tuk tuk
Fingers tapped on the round table, and Shinji continued to sort out his thoughts.
"If I still have the idea of solving the situation perfectly, I will only lose sight of one or the other and completely fall into the rhythm of the other party."
Shinji now realized that he had to change his mind.
In the case that his 'lamp' is suppressed, the simple defense is too passive, so he has to turn the passive into the active when the ninja world is polluted and the corpses are everywhere. And the reason for his passivity is not those ghosts, but the mysterious 'lantern bearer' who has been planning the invasion behind his back!
"He's my target!"
Shinji's gaze grew firm.
If you don't deal with the mysterious 'Lantern Bearer', no matter how many ghosts you destroy, the other party will continue to create new ghosts.
So even if it is a powerful 'winding ghost', it is just a smoke bomb thrown by the other party.
The only winners and losers who can really affect the fate of the two worlds are the two 'lantern bearers'!
"So he did all this, not only to pollute the ninja world, but more importantly, to lure me out and solve it."
After realizing that the key to this confrontation lay with the two of them, the fog that had been disturbing him quickly receded, and he suddenly smoothed out his thoughts and guessed the true intention of the other party in arranging all this.
The other party's goal is him!
Tuk tuk
Tuk tuk
Shinji was still tapping on the round table, but by this time he already had an idea.
If the country of grass is compared to a chessboard, then the chess players who are now in the game have the four forces of Oni, Akatsuki Organization, the Five Great Ninja Villages, and Shinji himself.
In this way, the complicated situation suddenly became much clearer.
Thinking of his opponents, Shinji pondered, "How should I play the next move?" ”
The first is offered! Ask for a recommended ticket, a monthly pass!
