In the Internal Affairs Department of Kirigakure.
Kimimaro's whisper came lightly into Kisame's ears.
Although the volume was small, it caused waves of shocks in Kisame's heart...
Are you okay?
How could it be okay!
The moment we first returned to Kirigakure, Kisame was in a very excited mood.
Because I can see the changes in the village under the governance of Mr. Third Mizukage for more than a year...
After all, Uchiha Madara painted a big cake for him...
But just a few days after returning to the village, Kisame noticed something was wrong.
Unlike Might Guy who calls himself Konoha Beast, he actually has the blood of ferocious beasts flowing in his body and has the bloodline of Merfolk.
Therefore, I have special intuition in one aspect...
From Kirigakure Ninja's numb face, he could smell the unpleasant smell in an environment that was difficult to survive...
Kisame comforted himself at first, maybe it was just a necessary labor pain.
But later, Kisame, who wanted to know more about the village, under the operation of Kimimaro, joined Kirigakure Internal Affairs Department, who was responsible for cleaning the interior... Kisame originally thought that maybe his vision and structure were too narrow, and he could not understand the great ideas of Third Mizukage and Genji. He was just confused by the suffering in front of him...
Working in the Internal Affairs Department in a very full working condition.
But in the past three months, his pressure has increased exponentially, and his mental state has become increasingly uncomfortable...
If you kill someone, it can be said that this person is born bad.
Killing ten can also be said to be a gang, an opposition force that is linked together.
How about killing a few hundred?
These people are scattered in Kirigakure major Ninja Clan, and there is no collusion between them.
The old conflict between the remaining forces of Hozuki Gengetsu and Third Mizukage is also constantly being opened up...
Some are Kekkei Genkai's ninjas, or have some slight criticism against Bloody Mist Policy, or even just got implicated in the Ninja Clan's personal vendetta.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the vast majority of these people are still loyal to Kirigakure.
But the problem is that Bloody Mist Village is getting worse and worse, and the situation is out of Third Mizukage's control.
Kaguya Clan, Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, together with all major Kekkei Genkai Ninja Clan, all have their own agendas, using their reputations to fight against each other and eradicate dissidents. There are also a group of ninjas whose spirits have broken down under the high pressure, and their behavior has become more and more violent and crazy, making Bloody Mist Village become a vicious circle that keeps worsening... Recently, Kisame executed a group of Kirigakure Ninja who resisted Third Mizukage.
And what shocked him was...
This batch of Kirigakure Ninja is also related to Konoha!
It was Kusagakure who was rescued by Konoha...
The reason for their execution was that they were so weak that they were captured and had harmed the reputation of Kirigakure in Shinobi World!
Ninja Code is also doomed. It is normal for ninjas who fail to complete their tasks to be executed...
There is also an eye-catching charge.
"Konoha who promotes weakness and belittles his own village is an unforgivable spy!'
Kisame and others went to Konoha. One of the reasons was that Kirigakure Ninja, who was sent to pick up these prisoners before, was killed. They came as the second echelon... and these in Konoha stayed at Kirigakure Ninja for three or four months. Although he was under strict control, he also felt some differences in Konoha. The ninja's observation ability is very keen.
But the problem is that they don't have Uchiha Madara pretending to be Genji to warn them not to talk nonsense. In Bloody Mist Village's high-pressure environment, they inevitably have thoughts of comparison...
Being a prisoner in Konoha is more comfortable than being a ninja in Kirigakure!
Such words are obviously particularly harsh to Third Mizukage...
It must be dealt with!
"What did those ninjas say wrong? Konoha was exactly as they described, and what they said was not complete. They only scratched the surface..." Kisame ignored Kimimaro, turned up his two palms, and stared at his hands with a pair of small eyes, as if he could see the blood on them... "As Kirigakure Ninja, I had to kill my comrades from the same village."
"It makes me feel that my existence is meaningless, like a walking zombie immersed in falsehood, even worse than the fish in the ocean..." "Fish will not eat each other easily, and will hug each other to keep warm in the face of the freezing cold."
"As a ninja, living makes me feel painful. Where can I find a place where there is only truth and inner peace..." Kisame said in a calm tone, but his body trembled unconsciously.
Kimimaro looked at Kisame's reaction and smiled slightly.
"Exactly the same as Great Uncle's judgment..."
"Ninjas who accept death cannot give them a chance to gradually adapt to the environment. Let Kisame take advantage of the enthusiasm he just returned from Konoha and let him face the bloodiest side of Kirigakure..."
"Sure enough, he can't bear it anymore!"
Kimimaro said softly, "What do you think of the place we stayed before?"
"You mean..." Kisame turned around suddenly, but shook his head. "It's also false!"
Kimimaro smiled silently and motioned for Kisame to walk into the Internal Affairs Department's Lounge with him.
Kisame hesitated slightly.
He already distrusts most of Kirigakure's companions.
But Kimimaro, Terumi Mei and Xue are different after all. The four of them lived under the same roof in Konoha and spent a very relaxing and enjoyable time...
Walking into the secret room, Kimimaro pursed his lips. "Can I use Water Release to keep it secret?"
Kisame sighed and sealed his seal solemnly.
The thick compressed water wall seals Lounge tightly to ensure that no sound is transmitted outside.
Kisame A complicated look flashed in his heart.
In the past, he didn't have such fine Water Release skills. He always relied on his strong Chakra, coupled with his special physique that could swallow Chakra, to perform miracles...
"I learned this at Konoha from an old man named Maruboshi Kosuke, although he is only Genin..."
"But he is really strong, and he is also very warm-hearted..." After the soundproofing, Kisame relaxed a little and said softly to Kimimaro. "Genin belongs to Genin. He is actually Konoha Committee Member, a ninja who was personally taught by Second Hokage."
Kimimaro shrugged.
Under the guidance of Hyuga Tenzo, he is already a "Konoha master".
I know much more about the key figures in the village and the history of Konoha than I do about Kirigakure...
"Is that so?" Kisame felt depressed.
He thought again of Konoha's Ninja Academy...
Compared with Kirigakure's Death Graduation Method, Konoha's Ninja Academy is simply a paradise that even magic can't create.
Kisame doubts whether Kirigakure's genjutsu ninja can imagine such a scene...
"Kimimaro, don't you know that Konoha is actually false?"
Kisame looked directly at his companion who he still reluctantly recognized in his heart:
"Genji said that Konoha's prosperity comes from overdrafting its own potential, which cannot be sustained for a long time!"
"Although I hate him, I have to say that his analysis makes sense."
Kisame After all, I haven't read many books and seen very few...
Uchiha Madara's rhetoric is extremely deceptive to him.
After all, it is still difficult for most ninjas to understand the relationship between extraordinary commodities and the secular economy, and they are not exposed to the ins and outs of the "Sage Land Pill' project...
"What makes sense?"
Kimimaro chuckled and said in a calm tone, "Let me ask you first, you should have heard about the information about Konoha's weakness in the nearest village, right?"
Kisame nodded with an ugly face. "It's too much, it's as if Konoha is going to collapse!"
Kirigakure Although the country is closed to the outside world, a certain number of caravans still come.
This is specifically permitted by Third Mizukage.
On the one hand, it is necessary to obtain information about other Hidden Village from Konoha, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to obtain information from another angle through the caravan. Cross-verification of the two can ensure that one will not fall into an information cocoon.
There is nothing wrong with Third Mizukage's move.
He is a shadow after all.
Understand the dangers of relying solely on Konoha for intelligence sources.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi is a good old guy who is easily bullied, there is still Shimura Danzō after all...
Konoha may not necessarily pass all the true information to Kirigakure, so corroboration from other sources is needed.
But the problem is that the source of the information that Third Mizukage supports Konoha, in a sense, also comes from the former Konoha Ninja, a man named Uchiha Madara...
Thanks to the hard work of Madara and Ah Huo, a group of elite and humane Intelligence White Zetsu temporarily gave up part of their surveillance work on Shinobi World and instead acted as the caravan coming to Kirigakure.
It can be described as "artificial Infinite Tsukuyomi'!
The information they revealed also cleverly misled the judgments of Third Mizukage, Genji and others, leaving them stuck in a fork in the road of interpreting two sides of the same thing...
"Konoha is indeed prosperous, but there are always ninjas who are worried that it will not last...
"Oh, there are so many Hyuga Branch Familys active in the village, but Main Branchs can't be seen!'
"Uchiha Clan is very fierce, and not only Police Force, but also came out to do tasks...'
"The service attitude of Konoha Ninja is really bad now. He only pays money if he can't complete the task. He doesn't punish those ninjas who don't do their duty. Hokage doesn't care!'
These details that allow people to "see the big from the small" gradually condensed into a tangible network in the brains of Third Mizukage and Genji, coercing their thoughts all the way...
Conclusion: Konoha High Command completely lost control of the ninja!
As a result, Third Mizukage and Genji became more confident.
No matter how great the internal pressure is, military victory and plunder can easily resolve this sharp conflict, which perfectly proves that Bloody Mist Village's move is correct!
First, deal with those disobedient ninjas severely, and use your loyal troops to bite off a piece of Konoha's plump meat to replenish it.
Going back and forth not only made the various forces in the village obedient, but also made some profits...
"Do you know why Genji and Third Mizukage are so publicized?"
Kimimaro said slowly:
"Of course it is to let Bloody Mist Village of Kirigakure continue! If Konoha develops well, then it can be said that it is the other way around. How can Kirigakure still stand firm?"
"Also, you were deceived by Genji when you said that Konoha's policy is unsustainable."
Kisame's two little eyes suddenly widened!
It wasn't that he was shocked because he felt he had been deceived, but that a loud voice suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart...
Shinobi World, there is still hope!
If Konoha is not false, then a village where people can do things with peace of mind is real!!
When Kimimaro saw Kisame's expression, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling of relief in his heart.
He has never used words to make other ninjas so panic...
Let alone a genius like Kisame.
In the past, other ninjas only felt afraid when they saw his Shikotsumyaku.
"Is this what playing with your brain feels like?"
Kimimaro After experiencing this feeling carefully, Youyou said:
"Listen up, next, I'm going to show you the operating logic of Konoha's economic and security system!"
Kisame stared at Kimimaro in disbelief.
No...
This tone sounds like Scientific Ninja. What is going on?
Is this still Kaguya Clan!
"Tell you, this is what Konoha and Lord Hokage did..."
Kimimaro recalled his words Great Uncle Tenzo, which was a model essay that he had read and recited.
Starting from replacing the stagnant floating wealth of Nobles with "Sage Land Pill", the necessity of small but beautiful industry...
Then to the establishment of Ninja Security System, the actual manifestation of Will of Fire, the reconciliation and binding of Hiruzen Sarutobi General of the Nation's identity and Nobles, the establishment of scientific research projects and Orphanage and other invisible measures...
These piles, piece by piece, were all made by Hyuga Tenzo in half a year, day and night, for Kimimaro's assault.
When Kimimaro finally learned it, Tenzo sighed with great relief:
"Actually, Kimimaro is quite talented. He is worse than Hiashi. That bastard is not as good as Hizashi at all. I have to show off my old face and beg Lord Hokage to find him a job..."
"Hizashi I can't help you either..."
"Kimimaro can be called my most perfect work!"
Kisame listened attentively.
When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would interrupt Kimimaro to ask questions very straightforwardly, as if he couldn't bear a little deception and spring and autumn writing skills. But Kimimaro responded calmly and fluently.
Tenzo has prepared standard answers for him a long time ago. All of these are correct questions...
Eventually.
Kisame let out a long breath and felt like crying.
Not bad...
Although he is not the ninja of Konoha, Shinobi World always exists in a village that treats people sincerely and is not completely immersed in damn falsehood. As Kirigakure Exchange Students, compared to other companions, he is also very lucky to experience it for a year.
Not bad...
"Kimimaro, what do you want me to do?"
"You know Konoha so well, you have already seen through Kirigakure's hypocrisy, right? Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Kisame said with a hint of anger. "Because we are brothers."
Kimimaro looked directly at Kisame:
"If I don't let you see this blood, then you may gradually adapt, just like some powerful fish can accept different water temperatures..."
"Only a wake-up call can wake you up from your fantasy."
"I'm sorry if what I did hurt you..." Kimimaro said while bowing to Kisame.
This time Kisame can't fix it.
Kaguya Clan who bows and apologizes to others?
It's not that he has no experience, it's that he has never seen this type of product in his whole life!
"Don't..."
Kisame quickly helped Kimimaro up:
"I... I know your good intentions! If you don't treat me as a brother, why would you take the risk and come to the Internal Affairs Department to tell me this." "I shouldn't have angered you, I'm sorry."
Kisame's face showed a simple and sincere apology.
Kimimaro smiled in his heart and stood up slowly, with helplessness written all over his face.
"It's the same as Great Uncle Tenzo's judgment. This guy is an honest man, and speaking directly is his surefire skill.'
As for why Tenzo knows the character of Kisame...
This is because a large number of Hyuga people who have entered Anbu can easily obtain information about anyone in the village, of course, with the approval of Hokage.
Hyuga Tenzo obtained Hiruzen Sarutobi's privilege to monitor Kisame, dissected his personality portrait from his words, deeds, and actions, and made a tailor-made plan.
However, this is not what Hiruzen Sarutobi indicates.
Hyuga Tenzo really wants to achieve results!!
After all, my son Hizashi is so successful as Branch Family.
As Clan Head and his father, if he doesn't achieve anything, even with the name of Konoha Committee Member, he really can't hold his head high... "Then what should we do?"
"The village is so bad, no matter Third Mizukage or Genji, they are both rotten to the core!"
"Do you want to defect?" Kisame sighed:
"I also understand you. If you defect, you can take me with you."
However, surprisingly, Kimimaro shook his head.
"No..."
"In other words, I originally wanted to defect, but now I have changed my mind."
"Kisame, do you know my identity?" Kimimaro asked softly.
Kisame looked at him doubtfully. "Kaguya Clan The strongest genius in thirty years?"
"That's right."
Kimimaro nodded unceremoniously:
"Actually, at first, I didn't care much about the so-called village or clan. I just wanted to kill people to reflect my existence."
"Because of the Kaguya Clan's bloodline, and also because I have severe Kekkei Genkai Disease."
"People who subconsciously know that they will not live long cannot think long-term."
"But since Lord Hokage's Fireside Chat, I became interested in Konoha. I chatted with Great Uncle Tenzo many times, and he discovered my physical problems..."
"Great Uncle Tenzo not only used Hyuga Clan's treasured secret method to heal me with Gentle Fist, but also used his Konoha Committee Member authority to apply for treatment for me."
"I'm much stronger now than before!"
Kimimaro looked directly at Kisame: "So, do you understand? I am Kaguya Clan, and I am the same as Konoha Hyuga Kaguya, who is close to the wealthy family..." "Hyuga Clan has two Konoha Committee Member, one is Great Uncle Tenzo, who is the think tank of Hokage."
"The other one is brother Hizashi..."
At the mention of this name, Kimimaro, who was still arrogant just now, unconsciously lowered his tone and said with a hint of fear:
"That is Lord Hokage's right-hand man, the most trusted person!"
Whether it's the level of trust Hokage, or the part of the force...
Before Kimimaro left Konoha, Hizashi's surgery had been completed.
Kimimaro has seen how this Hizashi brother turned his arm into a crossbow and used Storm Release, which was compressed to the extreme, to kill enemy spies from a thousand meters away...
Although Shikotsumyaku has amazing defense and recovery power, Kimimaro thought about it for a long time and felt that if one day he faced Hizashi, he would most likely be used as a living target and shot into a hedgehog...
To put it bluntly, if Hizashi is really angered, even if he goes against the rules and kills him directly, Kimimaro feels that Lord Hokage will not say anything... "You have been in contact with Konoha in private for a long time?"
Kisame frowned.
"Of course..."
"Because I have seen the truth about Kirigakure a long time ago. If you were like me and had two relatives of Konoha Committee Member explain your confusion to you, would you still be loyal to Kirigakure?"
Kimimaro said confidently.
Kisame was silent for a moment and shook his head.
Neither will he.
He is honest, but not stupid.
Kirigakure doesn't regard himself as a human being, so why should he be loyal to Third Mizukage and Genji?
"Since you don't want to defect, what do you want to do?" Kisame asked again in confusion.
"I want all Kirigakure Ninja to live the same life as Konoha Ninja..." Kimimaro's eyes lit up, ambition and ideals shining.
"I can run, but what about others?"
"And..."
"Let's join Konoha like this. Although our strength is not bad, Konoha Ninja has dealt with Blood Tax for generations, so we can get such perfect protection. We don't have such perfect protection."
"If we want to do it, let's do it big! We are still young people and we have to be ambitious!"
Kisame looked excited. "Keep talking!"
"Kisame, do you know why Bloody Mist Village is so scary?"
"Because this is the oppression of individuals by organized violence, Bloody Mist Village's gangs have caused everyone to be in danger, and the combative nature of the village has caused a lack of trust among everyone in this extreme environment, and will be broken down one by one."
Kimimaro is still reciting the knowledge points of Tenzo:
"But we are different..."
"You and I have the experience of living together in Konoha, as well as Terumi Mei and Xue. An alliance built on the basis of trust between the four of us is enough to withstand the storm of Bloody Mist Village."
Kimimaro is not trying to compete with Third Mizukage.
Rather, we need to form a secret little alliance among Kirigakure that is impenetrable to needles and water.
"Kaguya Clan is in charge of the Internal Affairs Department after all. He is now the Ninja Clan with the most power on the face of Kirigakure. Add to that the relationship between the Ice Release Clan and Terumi Mei families, and you, the alternate Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist..."
"As long as we stick together, we have enough authority and resources to save a group of people under Third Mizukage and absorb them into our organization."
Kisame frowned and asked:
"The idea is very good, but although Third Mizukage is cruel, he will not ignore it..."
"I will give him Pledge of Allegiance." Kimimaro showed a cold smile:
"You know, some people in the Kaguya Clan are born with a desire to fight. They have been confused by the authority of the Internal Affairs Department, and they have signs of wanting to take charge of Kirigakure..."
"These tribesmen have no space to fight for, and they cannot be educated."
"I will instigate them to rebel, then kill them and report it back to Third Mizukage to prove my supreme loyalty to him!" Kisame looked at Kimimaro in shock.
Isn't this still killing one's own people?
But thinking about it carefully, he felt that the situation was different, because the situation of the Kaguya Clan was indeed too special.
There is a group of Kaguya tribesmen who are really super masculine and not like humans. They purely like destruction and killing, and do not enjoy the fun brought by fighting...
There is no way to educate!
Rather than letting them disrupt Kimimaro's rhythm, it's better to use the waste to deceive Third Mizukage...
"You..."
"Is this what Tenzo Committee Member taught you?" Kisame couldn't help but ask.
"This is not what I thought." Kimimaro smiled proudly:
"Great Uncle Tenzo is still too kind, and the method he thought of for me was too slow to work. I need to combine his wisdom with the current situation of Kirigakure and Kaguya..."
Kisame pondered for a long time and felt more and more that this plan was feasible.
With Kimimaro as the core, sacrifice part of the Kaguya clan as capital, and contact Ice Release, Kaguya, Terumi Mei and his power, you can become Third Mizukage's "confidant" and rescue some innocent companions...
This is obviously more meaningful than defecting.
"What happens after that? We can't just make do with it all the time. Kirigakure needs to change!" Kisame said in a deep voice.
"With the actions of Third Mizukage and Genji, the internal pressure on Kirigakure will become increasingly greater, and within two years the contradictions will definitely be resolved in the name of external war..."
Kimimaro said slowly:
"Their current propaganda is that Bloody Mist Village can cultivate powerful ninjas, so a war must be needed to prove it." "Do you think Kirigakure can defeat Konoha?"
Kisame shook his head subconsciously.
Just those Aosui and Namikaze Minato, together they will overwhelm the younger generation of Kirigakure...
Not to mention ninjas of other ages.
Thinking of this, Kimimaro was also quite emotional.
He was very curious about where Genji and Third Mizukage got the news...
Jingran thinks Lord Hokage has lost control over Konoha?
This intelligence ability is too bad!
Kimimaro feels that before he learned culture, he would not have been so imbecile. I can only say that this pair of insects deserved to be swept into the garbage heap...
"We must be clear that even if we can pull together a team, we cannot openly resist Third Mizukage."
"When the war starts, let them Radical Faction fight Konoha. We will accumulate strength on the side. I will get in touch with Great Uncle Tenzo when the time comes..."
"When the time comes, we must cooperate inside and outside to get rid of the traitor Third Mizukage for Land of Water!"
"From now on Kirigakure has come to our time!"
Kimimaro said sonorously:
"I will let Great Uncle Tenzo intercede and let Konoha and Kirigakure achieve in-depth cooperation and form a close and indivisible community of interests..." Next, Kimimaro described the specific plan.
Probably similar to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hanzo.
They all start from Sage Land Pill, first appease Nobles and then Work-for-Relief, step by step restore the normal order of Kirigakure and Land of Water, so that all the ninjas can find jobs...
Of course, this essentially turns Land of Water and Kirigakure into the rear base of Konoha.
But from Kisame's ears, this is already an extraordinary day!
Compared with Bloody Mist Village, as long as children can go to school normally in the Ninja Academy, Chunin and Genin with insufficient talents can do some primary processing industries, which is a rare blessing!
"It's just..."
"Will Lord Hokage agree to this move? Kirigakure will definitely attack Konoha..." Kisame said nervously.
In his opinion, it is not impossible for Konoha, who took the initiative to attack Kirigakure, to be pushed back and be said to be subjugated and exterminated, but it would be treated inhumanely, which is not impossible.
After all, this kind of thing happens too many times among ninjas.
"So, this is our necessity... We must help Konoha reduce losses as much as possible and win the war against Kirigakure Radical Faction!" "We must show our value, so that Lord Hokage and Konoha can value us..."
Kimimaro said softly:
"Kisame, you must know that Lord Hokage is a man who believes in Will of Fire... He has inherited God of Shinobi's belief in peace. You should also know this."
"If it is the leader of another Hidden Village, such as Kumogakure, then there will naturally be a question mark. They will most likely turn their backs on them and rush into Kirigakure and Land of Water to burn, kill and loot."
"But Lord Hokage is different. Great Uncle Tenzo promised me."
"Besides, we don't have a choice..." Kimimaro stared at Kisame:
"Are we just going to watch Third Mizukage continue to wreak havoc?"
"It is better to believe Lord Hokage than to believe Third Mizukage..."
Kisame Close your eyes.
In his mind, the memory of Hiruzen Sarutobi Fireside Chat emerged again.
That is a man who truly practices Will of Fire, a disciple of God of Shinobi Senju Hashirama, and a famous kind person of Shinobi World...
The example of Kusagakure is also there.
Only Radical Faction who was harming Konoha was killed. The other ninjas Konoha did not move and sent away all the prisoners.
The reputation and reputation of Hiruzen Sarutobi are not just based on the publicity of Hashirama, but are supported by actual examples of justice and people's hearts... and soon, Amegakure will also become the best example of Kirigakure.
"You're right, we have to do something..."
"I'm joining! If you need me to do anything, you can tell me and I will fully cooperate." Kisame said in a deep voice, as if he had made up his mind.
Kimimaro nodded with satisfaction.
After removing the soundproof water wall, the brand new Kisame left first.
Kimimaro was sitting on the chair of the Internal Affairs Department Lounge, thinking deeply.
In fact, he didn't tell the truth to Kisame...
Is he doing it for Kirigakure? No, he dreams of becoming a Konoha Ninja!
But just an ordinary Konoha Ninja is not what Kimimaro wants.
He hopes to become a ninja with a certain status in Konoha. His ideal is to become "Konoha Committee Member' like Hyuga Tenzo, and also wear clothes with Hokage Haori patterns!
But Kimimaro knows that if you want to get there, you must make an amazing contribution to the village...
Kirigakure, is his capital!!
"Great Uncle Tenzo said that Konoha has no intention of annexing Kirigakure, because educating and managing these ninjas is a huge cost, and annexing them right away will also lead to resistance..."
"It takes an agent to slowly assimilate and improve the quality of Kirigakure Ninja to the standard of Konoha, which is the best."
"And I will become this agent! I will hold this credit tightly in my hands..."
This is a classic that has been around since the Han and Tang Dynasties, so-called "Jimi Prefecture System'.
This is also the general tone set by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tenzo after joint discussions.
There is no need to eat until you become fat in one go, otherwise you will suffer from indigestion.
We still have to walk steadily and solidly step by step...
Kimimaro stood up slowly.
He is thinking...
If Great Uncle Tenzo can become Konoha Committee Member, then it is possible for me who has inherited his will!
"Lord Hokage is so awesome..." Kimimaro looked in the direction of Konoha.
Kisame's reaction, Kirigakure's situation, Hyuga Tenzo's calculations were almost accurate, fully reflecting the judgment of the Millennial Noble Clan Head. But...
After Kimimaro returned to the Kaguya Clan, he looked through the letters sent by the Hyuga Clan, but found something that shocked him. The original Hyuga seemed not to be loyal to Konoha. It could be said that he was following the instructions rather than the propaganda.
But in just four or five years, it became what it is today...
"Even Great Uncle Tenzo can't compete with Lord Hokage?"
"Fortunately, Lord Hokage is a kind person. If he had a character like Third Mizukage, it would really bring the most terrifying disaster to Konoha and even Shinobi World..."
Kimimaro thought with emotion.
At the same time, a White Zetsu was hiding underground under the Internal Affairs Department, yawning.
The command it received was to monitor the internal changes of Kirigakure...
But this White Zetsu didn't expect that Kimimaro and Kisame seemed to be different from the other Kirigakure Ninja. They were so cautious in doing things and even used soundproofing...
"Forget it, if you can't hear it, then you can't hear it..."
"Lord Madara and Ah Huo are having so much fun acting recently, they don't even take me with them!"
This White Zetsu was sulking and went on strike.
And in Konoha.
Just when Kimimaro was thinking about the original relationship between Hyuga and Lord Hokage.
Hiruzen Sarutobi also came to the Hyuga Clan as a guest.
"Don't be formal, Hiashi..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a sip of tea and said with a hearty smile:
"And Xiao, what's going on with you two? We're just here to talk about family matters..."
Clan Head at the Hyuga Clan Reception Room.
Tenzo is sitting directly opposite Hiruzen Sarutobi, and two Main Branch, Hyuga Ko and Hiashi, are sitting on the side slightly restrained.
"Thank you Lord Hokage for coming in person..."
Tenzo said with a red face, "Look, you also got a gift. This is really embarrassing!"
"Some of the daily snacks made by your sister-in-law taste pretty good..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand. "They are all my family members!"
Hyuga Tenzo is short of money?
It's not too much, but it's not exactly what he needs.
As the head of the family of the Hyuga Clan, Hizashi, as Branch Family, broke through his Authority. Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi later went back to make up for it, his majesty was still challenged.
So what he lacks most now is something that can enhance his prestige within the clan.
Most of the energy of Hizashi comes from the support of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Now, Lord Hokage gives some short-lived but intimate souvenirs to Tenzo.
The things are cheap, but it proves that he is Hiruzen Sarutobi's "one of our own".
Sure enough, as soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, the eyes of Hiashi and Hyuga Ko changed slightly.
It turns out that father, Lord Clan Head, also has the trust of Lord Hokage?
"I will definitely appreciate my sister-in-law's craftsmanship!" Tenzo laughed loudly, this title spoke to his heart.
Now in Konoha...
Who doesn't want to be like Hanzo and Land of Fire Daimyo, and be able to call Hiruzen Sarutobi "big brother" in private?
It's really very honorable to mention this casually outside...
Tenzo had already thought of the surprised and envious expression on Isshin's face when he and Isshin accidentally mentioned it when they met for a walk... "I'm here today, firstly, to meet Tenzo, and secondly, to talk about Main Branch's work issues."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile:
"Xiao, have you been anxious about waiting lately?"
Hyuga Ko smiled honestly, "I'm not in a hurry, but I really want to contribute to Lord Hokage as soon as possible!"
Hiashi also nodded repeatedly.
"You probably all know about the cooperation between the village and Amegakure..." Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled and took the cigarette from Hyuga Tenzo. He was quite sensible...
Tenzo lit the fire for Hiruzen Sarutobi. Lord Hokage patted his hand to express his gratitude. After exhaling a breath of smoke, he continued, "Amegakure does not have the ability to handle Nobles's affairs..."
"My idea is that Hyuga's Main Branch is specifically responsible for the village's external management of Nobles. You are Millennial Noble Clan, and because of the hierarchical mechanism of Main Branch and Branch Family, Nobles is naturally close to you."
Hyuga Ko and Hiashi looked at each other, both of them were very excited.
With Tenzo in front of them, they know that diplomacy is by no means a trivial matter...
Moreover, Tenzo and them also passed Qi in advance. Nobles, who conquered Land of Rain, can get more money for the village on the one hand, and more importantly, it lays a legal foundation for integrating Land of Rain...
This is definitely a great achievement, and it is an unprecedented mission in the history of ninja missions!
"Thank you Lord Hokage for trusting us, Hyuga will do our best!"
Hyuga Ko and Hiashi said in unison.
"Don't thank me in a hurry. There is a problem that we need to discuss together..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved the cigarette. "About Caged Bird."
Tenzo's heart tightened.
Just now when Hiruzen Sarutobi said that the layering of Hyuga was similar to Nobles, he had a hunch...
"Caged Bird Technique, the original intention of this technique is good. The special nature of Byakugan has led to it being coveted by other Hidden Village ninjas. It has strategic resources to protect Konoha..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Tenzo, Xiao and Hiashi one by one:
"But this technique is fatal to the Branch Family."
"If you want to go out of the village to do diplomacy, you will inevitably come into contact with all kinds of ninjas... You also know that if an accident occurs, the corpse of a ninja can also read the information in the brain."
"If the activation method of Caged Bird Technique is known to others, it will be a catastrophic blow to Hyuga and Branch Family, as well as the village..."
Tenzo subconsciously wanted to explain, but after opening his mouth, he could only give up.
Caged Bird needs Byakugan to drive...
But the question is, wouldn't it be better if someone else transplanted Byakugan?
No one can guarantee this...
Hyuga Ko and Hiashi's hearts trembled, and they knew this was a fact...
"Of course, I don't mean to cancel Caged Bird Technique. The village has always supported the protection of Kekkei Genkai..."
"How to distinguish Main Branch and Branch Family inside Hyuga? I, Hokage, don't want to interfere... But the problem is that Main Branch, who works out of the village, cannot have the trigger method of Caged Bird in his memory."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile:
"Also, although the clan has clan rules, on the whole, it is still necessary to follow the rules of the village. Using lynching is a relatively backward approach. What do you think Tenzo?"
"That's right!" Tenzo hurriedly agreed:
"Lord Hokage, I fully support it!"
Tenzo captured the smell of the hat very keenly...
Clan rules override village rules, Caged Bird decides life and death to make personal attachments?
What to do!
Tenzo has no doubt that if Danzo were here, he would have raised his voice and shouted...
In fact, it's not like Danzo has never done this before. She once gave him a massage that made him sweat...
Moreover, now that Hyuga Clan has entered the Anbu sequence in large numbers, the punishment of Caged Bird Technique can no longer be used on the clan members directly under Hokage...
That's really asking for death.
"There is a mentality issue here. Main Branch's work requires using your brain..."
"Contact with Nobles, no need to fight on the front line."
"Amegakure, because the village sent Yong to guide, Hanzo will give out a part of the considerable reward, and the village will take this part of the money without doing the task..."
"The baseline is based on the pricing of Land of Fire Sage Land Pill. The excess of the pricing surplus will be one-third as a commission on sales as compensation for Main Branch."
Hyuga Tenzo was shocked. "You can't do it, Lord Hokage!"
This amount of money is naturally not a large amount for the village, but it is not a small amount for the clan.
"The remaining two-thirds will be used for charity, and Hyuga Clan will be responsible for implementing it."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile:
"Appease the people on the front line more and think more about what they lack and what they lack on weekdays. In this way, Main Branch and Branch Family will naturally get along more happily, and the Conflict between you will be a lot lighter..."
Hyuga Tenzo feels that he understands Hiruzen Sarutobi's thinking.
Is this to help Main Branch transform?
With the Hyuga Clan's Millennial Noble Clan reputation, as a diplomatic expert, connect with Nobless.
For the Branch Family children who are fighting on the front lines and earning a future for their families, we will pave a solid logistical path and provide timely condolences and assistance... This is really no choice.
And all this heart comes from the generosity of Hiruzen Sarutobi...
Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed Hyuga Tenzo's expression and smiled without saying a word.
He could vaguely understand Tenzo's thoughts...
I always want to keep a good job, but this is not conducive to Konoha...
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't plan to talk about this with Tenzo today, he just wants to set a framework.
As long as the general policy of abolishing lynching of caged birds is set, everything else is easy to talk about, and Tianzang can't help but fantasize about it.
"Thank you, Hokage!"
Hyuga Tenzo said sincerely:
"I immediately decree that the punishment of Caged Bird Technique will be abolished from now on in the Hyuga Clan. No Main Branch can be used without an order from the village. It will only be used to protect Bai L."
"As for the memory of Caged Bird in their minds..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took over the conversation with a smile, "In addition to some food made by your sister-in-law, I also included the secret method provided by the Yamanaka Clan. You should be able to learn it."
Tenzo's heart was completely stabilized.
Let me tell you Caged Bird, he is really worried, even if it is Yamanaka Clan...
It's different if you do it yourself!
"Everything is according to your will!"
Hyuga Tenzo assured again.
"Okay, I won't sit down anymore. Tenzo, you have a little chat with Jane and Hiashi. We need to go to Land of Rain as soon as possible. The ninjas over there at Hanzo are almost ready, and we have to deal with the Nobless recently."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and Tenzo walked him to the door.
Tenzo can't help but think...
When will we get an opportunity to call Hiruzen Sarutobi "big brother" in private to just one step closer to each other? We can't just let Hanzo and Daimyo have this blessing!
And on the other end of Konoha.
Uchiha, another Dōjutsu family as famous as Hyuga, is now the most talented ninja of the younger generation, "Aosui', who has completed his experiment. With the help of Orochimaru, he successfully developed the specific Kikaichū that cleanses blood toxins.
So...
It's time to treat Tomie Uchiha!
Tobirama left Scientific Research Department to determine the last ingredient...
Uzumaki Shio!
