Konoha At the end of February 51, next door Kirigakure Bloody Mist Policy continued to ferment and kill. Fourth Mizukage did not impose any restrictions. Kirigakure Ninja had already had defectors.
Although Konoha did not collect complete information, by comparison, most Konoha Ninja felt extremely happy!
Compared with Fourth Mizukage, Fourth Hokage is much better.
Regardless of personal strength, just looking at the management of the village, the gap between the two sides is obvious.
Kirigakure After the new Mizukage took office, Land of Water's allocation did not change at all, and it was just barely able to maintain basic operations.
After Fourth Hokage took over, Land of Fire not only increased the budget for the second half of the year, but the village's own revenue also increased.
The excellent medical system is constantly working hard. Although most ninjas are still unable to engage in production, special medicines and herbs are enough to support some welfare policies.
Land of Fire Daimyo's annual visit is coming again, and Konoha Ninja is eagerly looking forward to it.
If nothing else happens, the New Year's budget will increase a bit, and the life of a ninja will get better and better in the future.
Through the propaganda of businessmen, the news about Konoha spread very quickly.
Amegakure Ninja naturally heard the relevant news, but unlike previous years, Amegakure Ninja need not be envious this time, because they also have "Angels".
After Amegakure leader Hanzo completed the reform, Lord Angel took over most of the power in the village.
The recent increase in commissioned tasks is due to the negotiations between Lord Angel and Kirigakure. When Konoha Ninja maintains its "high-pressure rule", these commissions are simply a life-saving straw for many ninjas.
Although the strength of the village has decreased a bit, most Amegakure ninjas choose to carry out their missions honestly as long as they can live peacefully.
It only took a month for the turbulent Amegakure to completely calm down. The reputation of Lord Angel also resounded throughout Land of Rain, and Amegakure ninjas also had their own wise master!
On a rare sunny day, Amegakure Central Tower, Konan leaned on the railing and quietly overlooked the entire village.
After the girl returned to Amegakure, she seldom wore the black coat of Akatsuki. Perhaps because she no longer killed, she regained her calm and gentle personality.
Konan is also becoming more efficient in handling affairs. Under her leadership, Amegakure seems to be showing signs of rising.
Nagato is very pleased with the transformation of his friend. This is the gentle and kind-hearted Konan in his impression. His decision to bear the darkness is extremely correct!
"Konan, did you see the technique used by Madara Uchiha?"
"It can be called an incredible power. No wonder he is sure to attack Konoha. We must be more careful."
Nagato walked to his friend's side and reminded him in a low voice. Konan first expressed his approval, and then added in a low voice, "The time of the Hollow Ninjutsu is still uncertain. Many of the opponents I have witnessed so far lost control of their bodies immediately."
"Without a sustained attack, it's difficult to judge the duration of the blur."
"What's even more terrifying is the technique called Susanoo. I can't think of any good way to break the opponent's defense."
The two are secretly recording Madara Uchiha's abilities. Until now, they do not believe in each other's identity or the so-called "Sage of Six Paths reincarnation" theory.
Information is very important. In many cases, important information can determine the life or death of a ninja. The reason why Nagato is wary of Madara Uchiha is mainly because the other party has mastered most of his abilities.
Six Paths Technique was almost taught to him by the other party. Nagato felt that Madara Uchiha would definitely leave some means to prevent him. This feeling of being mastered by someone with key information was very uncomfortable.
"Continued attack?"
"Fortunately, Rinnegan can also absorb his ninjutsu. Madara Uchiha should be deliberately avoiding fighting with us."
"He seems to be more concerned about Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. As long as I still have the ability to use the golem, he can only serve us."
An inexplicable brilliance flashed through Nagato Rinnegan, and controlling Demonic Statue of the Outer Path almost became his trump card. Even the mysterious guy had to compromise with him on certain issues.
Konan also noticed this, but when he thought of the huge blue giant, he couldn't help but frowned again.
Nagato Preta Path's ability can absorb the opponent's Chakra, but the ability also has an upper limit. Madara Uchiha took the initiative to show it, obviously the opponent has restraint means.
"Nagato, be careful, that guy seems to be craving for your eyes!"
"Although there is a mask, I have paid careful attention to it. Rinnegan and Demonic Statue of the Outer Path are his fundamental goals."
Hearing the reminder from his friend, Nagato nodded solemnly. This is why he planned to use a puppet to go to Konoha with the other party. If he was killed to take the eyes, his friend and Land of Rain would be completely finished.
After this month of all-round transformation, the puppets' combat power has been greatly enhanced. Although they no longer look like humans, Nagato still praised his friend, "Thank you, Konan, these puppets will protect me."
"Your talents were indeed buried in the past. If you could be born in a big country, you might have a chance to become a movie star!"
"Amegakure's affairs will be left to you in the past few months. I still have to make the final effort."
Thinking of those puppets that had been modified into grotesque shapes, Konan was slightly startled. She didn't know what had happened to her. Once she took over this kind of work, all kinds of inspirations kept appearing in her mind.
Fortunately, Nagato was very satisfied with the "inhuman" puppet, so Konan stopped thinking about it carefully.
"What do you think about us quietly controlling Land of Rivers?"
"Although Land of Rivers also has ninjas, their strength is very weak. We can control the entrance to the sea in our own hands."
"When Kirigakure settles down again, we can also open up Land of Water trade routes and strengthen maritime trade."
After Konan said these words, he was slightly stunned again. Nagato heard that the cold expression on his face disappeared, and he seemed to have turned back into the taciturn and gentle young man, holding his forehead in confusion.
"It's up to you to decide!"
"If necessary, during this period, I can secretly help you control Land of Rivers."
"I don't know much about these matters, Konan, try it boldly, Amegakure it won't get worse, don't put too much pressure on it."
Nagato replied in the affirmative. At the end of the sentence, a smile appeared on his face again. He was happy that his friend was getting rid of the shadow of the past.
When Konan was the only person left in the room, the girl came to the mirror and looked at herself in a daze.
I just celebrated my 18th birthday a few days ago. With adequate nutrition, my figure is much better than before, and the original scars have disappeared.
Looking at his somewhat unfamiliar self, Konan stretched out his white palms. These hands did not look like those of a well-trained ninja. "I... what's wrong with me?"
The spirit body of Shu Furukawa is also looking at this body. Although he intends to control it, after learning Ryūchi Cave Senjutsu, the effect of the transformed Senjutsu Chakra is still too good.
Life Energy's nourishment of cells allowed the girl to unknowingly repair minor problems in her body. The more frequently she used the secret technique, the faster the erosion rate.
As soon as Shu Furukawa's spiritual body thought, Konan stopped worrying about his body and looked at the map on the wall and began to think about Amegakure's subsequent development.
The girl had an inexplicable idea that in the future Land of Rain, Land of Rivers and Land of Water would merge into one, and this would become her new home.
Amegakure's changes were naturally monitored by Konoha Ninja. After the news came back to Konoha, Tsunade rarely summoned several old consultants.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura have been focusing on the movements of Uchiha Clan Compound during this period. Danzo disappeared and they need to continue the will of Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
After hearing Amegakure's changes, the two of them didn't speak for a long time. They both felt a little uncomfortable after not dealing with these matters for a long time.
"I didn't expect them to have such a relationship with Land of Water. If it's just some commissions, the impact won't be too big."
Sarutobi Hiruzen responded with a pipe, trying hard to recall the information between the two countries, and finally added in a low voice, "Amegakure The civil strife left more than half of the Jonin in the village dead or injured. Although there was no defection, it will take a long time to return to the pre-war state."
"As long as we continue to develop steadily, the gap will only get bigger and bigger. Tsunade, just maintain the current status."
Anbu Ninja currently has a more important task, and Anbu, their immediate subordinate, cannot spare time. Protecting Jinchuriki and the village is the top priority.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi is right, it's just Small Nations. You can also ask Sunagakure to send some more people."
"As an ally, Sunagakure Ninja can make some contribution in this regard."
Utatane Koharu narrowed his eyes and gave the suggestion. Mitokado Homura agreed and simply added, "You can also let Sunagakure Ninja destroy the relationship between the two parties. As long as there is a problem with the entrusted task, Amegakure will sooner or later have civil strife."
"As for that angel," you can continue to let intelligence personnel collect information and solve this problem when necessary."
At the end of the sentence, Mitokado Homura almost said, "You can leave it to the Root ninja to solve the problem." After getting an elbow from his old friend, he changed his mind.
The three old consultants all felt that Amegakure was not a big problem. Tsunade also suppressed the inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart and smiled in affirmation.
After the meeting ended near noon, Tsunade saw off the three of them and came to the window with arms folded.
Shu Furukawa replaced Minato Namikaze to perform S-level missions. During this time, she missed her a little. Without the company of her disciples, she always felt that dealing with government affairs became extremely boring.
"Teacher Tsunade, lunch is ready!"
"Tonton, where have you been hiding again?!"
Shizune's energetic voice appeared, and after putting the lunch box on the table, he caught the little pig in the corner.
"Cowardly guy! He hides every time he's with me."
"It's the same at home, I only hide it after I cultivate myself..."
Tsunade Halfway through her words, she immediately picked up the lunch box to cover up. She almost revealed that her disciple often lived with her.
Fortunately, Shizune didn't hear anything wrong. The girl laughed and rubbed Tonton's soft head. Seeing the teacher burying his head in eating the lunch, she even said happily, "The little guy must have sensed the teacher's strength!"
"Although Xiu is very powerful, he is a gentle person, Tonton must have understood that too!"
Tsunade almost choked herself. Just by judging Senjutsu Chakra, she knew that Shu Furukawa had surpassed everyone in the village.
As for gentleness, it is very appropriate. Sometimes Tsunade would be tired and fall asleep after practicing. The disciple did take good care of her and did not go beyond her limits.
Shizune didn't know what the teacher was thinking, so he hugged Xiaozhu and said expectantly, "After finishing this S-level mission, Xiu should be able to rest for a week!"
"The cherry blossoms just happened to be blooming, maybe we can go out and play together..."
The girl told the teacher all her good expectations, and Tsunade felt guilty inexplicably. She always felt that she had taken up too much of Shu Furukawa's time, but when she saw the documents on both sides, she comforted herself, "It's all work, and as Hokage, there is nothing we can do about it."
Late at night, in the capital city where the Land of Frost daimyo lived, the rebellious Ninja fell into a pool of blood. The daimyo mansion was extremely quiet, and Shu Furukawa walked slowly to the room of the owner of the place.
The daimyo who was tied up by the two ninjas whimpered, and the young Kumogakure ninja looked at the "fat pig" in front of him and cursed angrily, "How could Shi Lai perform the mission?"
"What message did this damn fat pig Ju Konoha Renza send?"
The smell of blood became stronger and stronger. The black-skinned middle-aged ninja tried hard to control his emotions, but the hand holding Kunai still trembled out of fear. "Let's give up the mission!"
"Lord Raikage won't blame us. It won't do anything to hide this fat pig at this time."
The middle-aged Ninja survived on the battlefield. He was a fast runner back then and managed to save his life. However, after two years of good life, he met Shu Furukawa again inexplicably.
In the courtyard outside the room, Shu Furukawa pushed open the door, and Kunai with Explosive Tag on the wall immediately exploded at Shi.
"Boom!"
After a loud noise, Shu Furukawa waved his hand, and the deep Purple Skeletal Susanoo around his body grew again. The giant skeleton hand suddenly punched out, and the wooden door in front and the pillars on both sides shattered instantly.
With a roar, two figures sped out, each looking ugly at Shu Furukawa, and rushed wildly in different directions.
The two of them saw Shu Furukawa moving ugly on the spot, and they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the other party had given up chasing after the officials.
When the Kumogakure ninja jumped to the ground and was about to accelerate again, spikes suddenly appeared on the flat stone ground.
"Ah..."
The middle-aged black-skinned ninja was penetrated through the body on the spot and screamed loudly.
Another young man reacted quickly enough and barely escaped the spike attack. However, when he twisted his body and landed on the ground again, he suddenly found that the earth was denting. Chou was able to use his strength and shouted, "No!"
In the sunken ground, a stone suddenly turned into a sharp thorn, and the young man Renza's body was directly penetrated. He hung on it and died tragically on the spot. He did not know what happened until the end of his life.
Land of Frost Daimyo was covered by the collapsed house, and after being caught by the dark purple skeleton's hands, he was almost on his deathbed.
Shu Furukawa sighed and had to transform some Senjutsu Chakra again. Soon a dark green light appeared in the big dark purple hand, and the fat Land of Frost Daimyo's injuries were mostly healed.
"Ahem..."
After coughing out a mouthful of blood, the obese Daimyo finally came to his senses. Shigen was so ugly that he was concerned about the collapsed house. He looked at Shu Furukawa who was playing with the silver snake, and immediately crawled over and shouted with joy, "Is it Furukawa-kun?!"
"I knew Konoha would never give up on me, yet even a tolerant person like you took action."
"Ugh... Master Xiu, you must avenge me. My wives and concubines were all tortured to death by Kumogakure...
The wailing Land of Frost daimyo began to talk about the suffering he had suffered these days. Several of his mother-in-law and children died, and his domestic allies and enemies betrayed his mother Kumogakure, who was a refugee.
"If you are talking about Land of Frost's alien ninja, all of them are already dead."
"The ninjas in your country also need to improve their strength. They were frightened by a few ordinary Jonin to give up the mission. All the basic ninja qualities have disappeared..."
Shu Furukawa As soon as he finished speaking, a look of ecstasy appeared on the face of the obese daimyo who had just cried loudly. He tried to crawl over and hug his thigh. He didn't mind after being dodged and continued to praise loudly, "As expected of Master Xiu, Kumogakure is as vulnerable as before!"
"Please be sure to stay during this period. My daughter has just turned 15 this year. If you choose someone who is only 13 years old, you will definitely satisfy Master Xiu..."
Halfway through the words, Land of Frost had a look of confusion on his face, Shu Furukawa's scarlet eyes had three ticks in his eyes, and Genjutsu replaced the other person's memory of tonight.
The palm-sized snake squirmed onto its shoulders, shook its tentacles, looked into Shu Furukawa's eyes and praised, "Master Xiu's Susanoo is blessed by Senjutsu. Even Indra can't do it!"
"With the superimposed power of the two, the current Shinobi World should be able to break through such a defense."
Shu Furukawa raised a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, sensed it carefully and asked in a low voice, "The clones should have collected the energy, right? I didn't sense any loss."
"The mission has been completed. It's a pity that we only selected 6 teams. For Master Xiu's current support strength, the energy is too little."
S-level missions only select this level. Shu Furukawa was picked early. It was expected that apart from the war, it would be difficult for Shi to quickly increase the strength of the support body. "This is the only way. After rectifying Land of Water later, we will try to start a war again."
"Go back to Shikkotsu Forest first and continue to improve Sage Susanoo."
Although practicing together makes Ji Ping happy, since she discovered the secret of Ryūchi Cave Senjutsu Chakra, she has begun to care about the issue of reproduction. It seems that this can kill the boring time. "Master Xiu, don't you try to create life?"
"I can prepare the clone first. When Master Xiu turns 16, he should be able to continue the race like Gamakichi.
