Boom——!

The thunder snake danced wildly, a huge thunder pierced the sky, and between the lightning and flint, the entire Rain Ninja Village was as bright as day in an instant.

Hoshino Maki stood behind Nagato, looking at his pale side face reflected by the thunder light, and he had a premonition that the short honeymoon period between the two sides was about to come to an end.

The two sides have different ultimate goals and are destined to part ways, the only uncertainty is just time.

Finally, Nagato's maniacal laughter stopped, and when he turned his head, he and Hoshino Maki met each other, and the two stared at each other for a moment, smiling at the same time.

"Congratulations, the recovery is better than I expected. It seems that after a few more days of rest, normal movement should be fine. But it's best to be cautious with ninjutsu, your body is fragile, it's caused by that special injury from earlier, and there's nothing I can do about it. ”

Nagato shook his head: "I know all this, and I am lucky to be able to walk on my legs." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to Hoshino Mu and stretched out his emaciated and pale arm like a withered branch: "Thank you." ”

"What I promised, I will naturally do."

Hoshino Maki gripped Nagato's palm and chuckled.

After speaking, he paused, and continued to speak: "Since the matter has been done, then I will leave." ”

Nagato nodded, and motioned for Xiao Nan to send off the other party.

Hoshino Mu followed Konan away, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly spoke: "What about the guy who called himself Madara Uchiha last time?" Why didn't you see him? ”

Xiao Nan, who was walking in front, paused slightly, and immediately returned to normal, and said lightly: "I went on a mission." ”

"Oh?" Hoshino Maki raised his eyebrows: "What else in this world needs Madara Uchiha to do personally?" ”

Xiao Nan didn't respond, just walked in silence.

When Xiao Nan returned to Nagato's room again, he saw Nagato sitting in a wheelchair, facing the rain curtain outside, and his eyes were gloomy.

"Do you think he found out about our plan?"

Nagato asked.

Xiao Nan thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know." Either way, that guy will carry out the plan, and he's out of our control. ”

After speaking, Xiao Nan hesitated and said, "Do you want me to go over?" ”

Nagato shook his head slightly: "No." He's more familiar with the Fire Nation than we are, and it's just a good thing to see what he's capable of. ”

As his health gradually improved, Nagato's thoughts also changed a little.

Originally, his body seemed to be running out of oil, and he wanted to establish an armed force that would override all countries and ninja villages as soon as possible before his life burned out, so that the world could be nuclearized.

The idea was so immature that Nagato himself knew that if he died, this mirror-like peace would come to naught.

But it is enough that at least a united world has experienced the taste of peace.

To do this, he can work with people who are not like-minded, such as Hoshino Maki, such as the man who hides behind a mask.

But now, as long as he uses this body carefully, he has enough time to establish a new order in this world and pick a suitable successor for himself to continue along his vision of peace.

However, in Nagato's plan, there is no place for the masked man.

The wind blew against the dense rain curtain, hitting Nagato's body with cold rain, and the coldness of his body did not hinder Nagato's inner heat, and his eyes looked into the direction of the village gate.

In the rain, Hoshino Mu walked out of the rain ninja village with a black umbrella, suddenly paused, turned his head sideways, looked in the direction of Nagato, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

——

Late at night, at the same time, in the Uchiha Fugaku's mansion, Itachi carefully stuffed back the quilt that Sasuke had kicked open, stared at his brother's sleeping face for a while, and then opened the door and left lightly.

When he turned around, he saw his father standing not far away with his arms around his chest, looking at him with a serious face.

"Follow me to the study."

After Fuyue finished speaking, he turned around and walked, and Itachi quickly followed.

It is said to be a study, but in fact it is just an empty room, except for a set of tables, chairs and sofas, there are no books as decoration.

"Why are you asserting yourself at the dinner table today? As the person who will take over the Uchiha banner in the future, every decision you make should consider what impact it will have on the family. Originally, I always thought that you understood this despite your young age, but this time, I need you to give me an explanation that can convince my people. ”

Uchiha Fugaku did not sit down, but stood in the center of the room, frowning and saying in a deep voice.

"My thoughts are those words that were said at the dinner table, the family needs a ninja who can open the kaleidoscope of writing wheels, and Kazekage-sama is probably the person who knows the most about writing wheels except for the second Hokage. When I get to Sand Hidden City, I will curry favor with Kazekage more and let him help the family more. ”

Itachi paused and continued: "Isn't it good that my family has been helped and my strength has been improved? ”

"Kazekage is not a philanthropist."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head: "He must have a plan. ”

Everything happened so quickly at the dinner table that Fugaku was caught off guard by the actions of Hoshino Maki and his own son, and he didn't have time to think about it.

When the family banquet was over and he calmed down, he realized that Hoshino Makaki's target might have been Itachi all along.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why Hoshino Maki specially prepared a gift for Itachi related to his kaleidoscope writing wheels.

Itachi whispered, "Aside from these eyes, I can't think of anything else on my body that can attract Kazekage-sama." But he shouldn't want my eyes. ”

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the child he was most proud of, if the itinerary remains the same, after the housewarming tomorrow, Itachi will follow Hoshino Maki to Sand Hidden City, and I don't know when we will meet next time.

The two were silent for a long time, and finally, Fu Yue reached out and patted Itachi's thin shoulder, and said softly: "Take care of yourself when you get there, if someone dares to bully you, kick it back hard!" Remember, behind you stands the great Uchiha, and the clan will shelter you from the wind and rain wherever and whenever you are. ”

Itachi had heard his father say such a thing for the first time, and he had always spurred himself on, constantly putting the burden of the family on his shoulders. The contrast made the weasel look up. I was a little stunned for a while.

"Okay, okay."

It took him a few seconds to react and replied with a bit of a stumble.

"Alright, you go out."

After saying these words, Uchiha Fugaku sat on the chair behind the desk, took a book, and said softly.

Itachi nodded, and only gradually regained consciousness after walking out of the room for a distance, he looked at the door of the study behind him, the light faintly flowing through the crack, and silently clenched his fists.

The next morning, early in the morning, there was already a frequent creaking of the wheels of the wagon.

Uchiha Ninja Village will be officially established from today!

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Uchiha people who have been drifting since they came out of Konoha and their hearts have been drifting.

"How's the security preparation?"

Hoshino Maki and Uchiha Fugaku sat in his modest carriage and asked.

"So far, everything is going according to plan, Konoha has arranged a large number of people for us, as long as Konoha people are close to us, they will definitely be found within fifty miles."

Uchiha Fugaku had a loud voice, obviously satisfied with the deployment of security.

"What about other places?"

Hoshino Maki poured a cup of tea for the other party and himself, and because of the shock absorption device installed between the bottom of the car and the axle, and the thick plush blanket on the ground, there were not many waves in the tea soup.

"We have also sent additional personnel in the direction of Takino Country and Grass Country, and there are also reconnaissance ninjas in other directions, which can help us buy enough time to react."

Hoshino Maki nodded, and no longer discussed this topic with the other party, but talked about the future cooperation between Uchiha and Sunagakure City.

In addition to the exchange of missions, the cooperation was further deepened in business, and even generously gave the Uchiha an interest-free loan.

Fu Yue was grateful, but he also secretly calculated in his heart that there was no reason for it.

"Here we are, sir."

The carriage came to a slow stop, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Standing respectfully outside the carriage, Hoshino Maki and Fugaku got off the car and saw the imposing village gate, and there were more than a dozen ninjas from the Uchiha family secretly guarding nearby.

"I'll show you around for some time."

Fu Yue glanced at the clock in the carriage and spoke.

There is a threat of Konoha in graduation, and the housewarming must not be carried out by waiting for anyone to do it again, but some powerful ninjas were selected to attend, and it is not too late for the family members to wait until their new home to celebrate slowly.

The newly built Uchiha Ninja Village is built on a mountain, and the overall size is only one-third of that of Konoha and the shape is also fan-shaped.

However, the architectural plans inside are quite different.

The largest place is the martial arts arena, and there is more than one, followed by the hospital and the chief's office building, there are not many commercial stores, and most of these stores have been bought by the people of Shayin City, from clothing, food, housing and transportation to eating, drinking and playing Shayin City can provide services.

Most remarkably, Hoshino also had a long corridor built in the square in the center of the village, which records the 'history' of how Senju and the other families stole Konoha from the Uchiha.

With the level of productivity and science and technology at that time, there are naturally not too many conclusive records of historical events, and even if there were, they were moved to Sand Hidden City by Hoshino Maki.

Now, he says what the history of Konoha is like, that's what it is.

Even if it's said that the Thousand Hands Pillar is actually a woman, huh. This is a little excessive, but he still has it easy to blur some things with the Spring and Autumn brushwork, and add some incendiary tone words to add oil and vinegar.

Some of the older Uchiha people had a little doubt about this history, and they were questioned by the ninjas sent by Hoshino Maki: Do you say this worthy of the Uchiha ancestors who shed their blood for the Uchiha and for Konoha?!

Eventually, the history of the Uchiha clan's blood and tears when Konoha was first built was engraved on the corridor.

Later, even some of the previous skeptics were convinced of this, and every time they mentioned this history, they beat their heads and angrily denounced the oppression of the Uchiha by Senju and the other clans.

There are many small details that I won't go into detail, but in short, the village is completely full of antipathy to the existing Konoha family, as well as the perfect supporting facilities for combat.

Hoshino Muki took the opportunity of the visit to silently inspect the new ninja village with chakra to make sure that no one was playing tunnel warfare with him or stepping on a thunderbolt inexplicably like an anti-Japanese drama.

After the inspection, Hoshino Mu did not relax his vigilance, but directly filled his vigilance.

The other party does not use such ordinary means, obviously there are other arrangements.

Could it be the assassination plan designed by Lu Jiu?

Hoshino Maki wondered if Shikaku would be involved, and followed Fugaku towards the door.

At this time, some Uchiha ninjas had already rushed over, and along with them, there were representatives of the five forces in the G7 Alliance, except for the country of Taki and the country of grass.

With the annexation of Sand Hidden City to Yanyin Village, the status of this G7 alliance is a little awkward.

After all, the object of the alliance has fallen, so what is the point of this organization?

But Hoshino Maki's loan is really fragrant, and the things in Sand Hidden City are really useful.

Some countries and ninja villages have found themselves accustomed to this kind of little white-faced life, and they no longer have to worry about the development of the village, as long as they listen to the words of Sand Hidden City, there will be money and materials.

Now that the meaning of the Alliance's existence has disappeared, is it possible for them to pay back the money now?

I can't afford to sell them!

If it were other creditors, they would have come in a big deal, anyway, in the ninja world, everyone has been a liar, and everyone on the dishonest list can't escape.

But in the face of the behemoth of Sand Hidden City, they didn't dare to do so.

Fortunately, Hoshino Mu seems to have forgotten about this matter and still gives them a loan, but it is not as generous as before, but it is enough for them.

The daimyo of the leaders of the various ninja villages and countries also found that before they knew it, their dependence on Sand Hidden City had reached an unprecedented level that could not be isolated.

But it's one thing to be aware, it's another thing to change.

Around 'obedience and resistance', I don't know how many intrigues and bloody battles have been experienced internally, but in the end, it is the sand hidden banknotes that can be obtained at any time in front of me that are more popular.

"Kazekage-sama!"

When the representatives of those forces saw Hoshino Mu, their eyes lit up, and they quickly stepped forward and bowed their waists to say hello, and their posture was even lower than when they saw the daimyo.

Hoshino Mu greeted everyone with a smile, then took a half step back and let Fugaku out.

"Today is Uchiha's housewarming day, Uchiha is the protagonist, you can get closer to the Fugaku patriarch more."

Hoshino Mu squinted his eyes and smiled, which made Uchiha Fugaku's face look much better, he silently relaxed his facial muscles, made himself look kinder, and talked enthusiastically with everyone.

Hoshino took advantage of this gap to look around and deduce where Konoha would attack from.

The people of Konoha should know that the Uchiha will plant sentinels in the passage between the two sides, since there is no ambush in advance, how can they be assassinated?

Hoshino Maki took advantage of the conversation and left silently and walked to the temporary lounge.

"Bring me the map."

Hoshino said, and the dark department immediately handed over the map.

Hoshino's eyes wandered over the map, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

At this moment, a shadow tribe hurriedly walked in and reported, "My lord, Konoha has sent a force of about three hundred people, and the Uchiha has already fought against them. ”

Hearing this, Hoshino Mu frowned slightly, got up and walked outside.
