A perfect resolution
"Quiet down." With a wave of his hand, the Tsuchikage drew everyone's attention. Ōnoki turned and flew back to his seat, sitting down calmly as he stared at Yang Xing: "Kid, I fully understand your strength. The Land of Earth truly cannot imprison you. I will grant your wish for money, but on one Land of Earth: you must not harm you or the people of the Land of Earth."
"No problem." Yang Xing smiled and readily agreed, but then glanced at the chaotic scene around him and the surrounding daimyo. "What do you all think?"
They had no choice but to watch helplessly as something terrifying happened on Yang Xing. The power of the Tailed Beast Bomb was indeed enough to destroy a country, especially since it was unleashed by a kid comparable to Kage Level. If the power were increased further, they didn't want to die in vain.
Faced with the choice between death or helping, a group of people immediately expressed their opinions.
"I promise you, I completely promise, as long as he doesn't invade our country."
"I'm willing to pay, any amount."
"Yes, yes, we'll handle the money and personnel issues."
This matter can be considered successfully completed.
In fact, Yang Xing is indeed capable of establishing an intelligence organization on his own, but it would be too troublesome. The financial resources required cannot be raised in just one or two days. Now, with these big names around, the money problem is no longer a concern, and the specific tasks have been completed.
Right now, there's only one thing left to do: select the right personnel.
From the very beginning, Yang Xing never intended to give this organization many members, nor could he allow it to grow to the level of a country. That would be too troublesome; a small and meticulous organization was easier to manage.
Therefore, the final members will only be selected from ninjas with potential, Konan and Guren are certainly among them.
But it wouldn't be enough for just the girls; Yang Xing still wasn't comfortable leaving some of the more difficult tasks to Konan and Guren.
Having dealt with the Tsuchikage and the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, Yang Xing emerged from the house, strolled through the streets, and returned to the training grounds. There, he pondered the selection of personnel.
There's no need to stay in the Land of Earth any longer. I'm just wondering if I should go to other countries and find some people.
The appearance of a figure caught Yang Xing's eye.
As if he had been waiting for a long time, Deidara, who hadn't been seen for several days, finally appeared.
"I heard you were looking for me?" I don't know where I got the idea, but this guy's nose is really sharp.
"I suppose so." After a long silence, Deidara stepped forward and said directly, "I've been thinking for many days about joining the Tailed Beast to gather intelligence. When I heard that you subdued the Five-Tails and gained the Lord Tsuchikage's approval, I came to you."
Yang Xing showed no interest whatsoever, simply smiled and asked, "Which thing did you agree to?"
"Of course, as long as I can fight and destroy to my heart's content, I can do whatever I want, even serve you." Deidara's eyes revealed determination.
Yang Xing didn't say that; this guy wasn't joking.
This is perfectly normal. Deidara pursues destruction and battle, and he now understands that only by following him can he get what he wants.
"Very good." Yang Xing nodded with satisfaction, his eyes becoming serious. "Deidara, I truly acknowledge your strength, but of course, I must thoroughly test your sincerity."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's very simple." Yang Xing pointed a finger and said seriously, "I'm giving you my first mission, which is also the first mission since the founding of my Sunshine Group. You should know that this kind of first mission is extremely memorable and valuable. In the future, it may become a legend."
"Value? Significance? Legend?" Yang Xing's eyes gleamed; clearly, he had successfully persuaded Deidara. Deidara's expression and actions confirmed this. "Very good, very good. I love this kind of talk, hahaha! No matter the mission, no matter who the person is, I can help you destroy them. I truly didn't misjudge you, my master!"
Deidara kneeling on one knee made Yang Xing realize that this guy was really simple-minded. This kind of destructive guy was indeed one of the talents his Tailed Beast Intelligence Gathering Group needed.
"The mission is a bit challenging." Yang Xing smiled slightly, quickly concealing his amusement, and then immediately continued, "The first thing I need you to do is deal with this person known as one of the Legendary Sannin in Konoha, Orochimaru. I'll gather information on his several bases. What you need to do is cause a huge ruckus, a thorough and satisfying destruction, destruction, and more destruction."
Deidara was thrilled, trembling with excitement. "This is what I want! Wherever the base is, I can come out right now. No matter how many people there are, no matter how many places there are, I can destroy them all in one fell swoop. This is the mission I've always wanted!"
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll have someone give it to you."
Gazing at Yang Xing, Deidara's eyes shone with unending excitement, and his heart was pounding.
It's obvious that Yang Xing has captured the heart of this destructive fellow with just a few words. Yang Xing is now fully confident that he can cultivate him into one of the organization's most important members of the sabotage team.
Those who dare to oppose him will be taught a lesson about consequences.
First and foremost, of course, is Orochimaru, a ticking time bomb. Next, Yang Xing will inevitably remember those people hiding in Konoha.
"Little sister Guren, I need your help with something." Arriving at the training ground, Yang Xing smiled and waved as he approached Guren, who was still sparring with Konan.
Ninja Chronicle, on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.
Several months have passed since the Nine-Tails was sealed away.
In the months that followed, Orochimaru had to execute a backup plan because one of his plans had failed. He didn't care about Guren's loss at all, and there were many alternatives. To him, Guren was just an insignificant tool among them.
But what he truly wanted to choose was that eerie Sharingan; it was what he desired most.
This is also his motivation for staying in the Land of Fire.
With Yang Xing's attempt to win him over failing, Orochimaru has been pursuing another plan, and today he has summoned high-ranking officials from Konoha.
The person's face was obscured by the mask, but Orochimaru could still sense who it was from the familiar aura emanating from them.
"Danzo?" Orochimaru's amused expression held a hint of terror. "It's been years. Why are you dressed like this? And I've been trying to find out anything about you in Konoha. I heard you actually defected from Konoha?"
