Yahiko told Qi a piece of news that was definitely not good. In fact, this news almost disrupted Qi's long-term plans for the future...
"Uchiha Madara?"
This name made Qi very suspicious that he had heard it wrong.
At this time, isn't Madara still being Mizukage? Using illusion to control the entire Kirigakure sounds awesome, but the price you have to pay is that Madara must not leave Kirigakure, otherwise he will be exposed immediately...
How did he establish direct contact with Yahiko and the others despite being so far apart?
"Yes, it's your Konoha's former Konoha Shura, Uchiha Madara."
Qi's reaction made Yahiko misunderstand that he was surprised, but it was a mistake. If Qi's face did not tremble when he heard such news, then he would really wonder what kind of secret the ghost in front of him had...
You know, even the parties themselves were shocked when they heard Uchiha Madara reveal his identity. If Madara hadn't shown a series of actions that could generally prove his identity, they wouldn't have believed that a man who was already in his prime decades ago could still be alive and kicking now.
"With such a person behind the scenes, it will not be easy for you to return home."
Yahiko chuckled,
"Now he controls Kirigakure as Mizukage, and it's not just the Kirigakure family that wants to take action against you, even some Chunin organizations are planning to join in."
"Just them?"
Although Qi was surprised, he also sneered at the second part of the sentence.
"Things at the same level are fine, but can they afford those things that are inferior to rubbish? They are not afraid of being destroyed by the Konoha Ninja Army afterwards!?"
"The human heart has no limits. Whether you can afford to play or not is one thing. Whether you can play or not is another matter. Who asked you Konoha to give others a chance?"
Yahiko shrugged noncommittally,
"Send that Yellow Flash, I'm afraid Konoha can give you the greatest support now, but there are masters in other great ninja villages. If they work together to hold back your masters, can you younger generation withstand their human sea tactics?"
"Life or death is a matter of destiny. If you carry it on, you will just kill people to get out of the way. It is no different from fighting."
Qi shook his head,
"I don't believe it. You came to me just for this kind of nonsense."
"It's really nonsense... Okay, I understand. This time, we can help you. You don't know the power of Rinnegan, right?"
"Help us? What's the reason?"
Qi immediately became alert. The person in front of him was not a powerful ninja like Nagato and Nan, who were better at fighting than planning. Instead, he was a resourceful being who could start from scratch and force Hanzo to borrow troops from Konoha.
"I want to cooperate with you for a long time."
Yahiko nodded slightly,
"I would rather cooperate with you than with that Uchiha Madara."
"But don't forget... I'm just an ordinary Konoha Ninja, and your reason doesn't hold water at all."
Qi still shook his head. In his opinion, such a reason was simply not a reason. Instead of cooperating with someone he couldn't trust, it was better to go it alone.
"An ordinary ninja? You, who is regarded as the heir by Danzo, are also considered an ordinary ninja?"
Yahiko laughed as if he heard a joke,
"Let's be honest. You and Danzo can't trust Hanzo, so you want to keep me so that I can continue to fight Hanzo, right?"
"..."
Qi curled his lips, neither denying nor agreeing.
Could it be that he wanted to prevent you from dying because if you died, your brother named Nagato was really not good at strategy, and ended up being completely exploited by Madara, ultimately causing endless trouble to Konoha?
"At this point, we still have common interests, because if I take charge of Amegakure, then I will fix the covenant, if Konoha is willing to modify some terms."
Yahiko blinked and narrated in a low voice, seemingly sincerely,
"Hanzo cannot understand the current situation clearly, and now still holds the idea of letting Amegakure fight against other countries. This time Land of Rain was killed... My request is very simple, Amegakure can do it It exists as a permanent ally of Konoha, but Konoha must ensure that once a war breaks out, Konoha Ninja Army must protect Land of Rain from aggression by other countries and stop the war at the border!"
"That's it?"
Qi's eyebrows suddenly raised.
He finally discovered Yahiko's true intention to cooperate with him through this sentence... This guy is really not a good guy!
"Of course there are more, but that's it for now. Things have to be done step by step, right? When you become the leader of the Konoha fighting faction, it will be the beginning of our formal cooperation."
Yahiko was a little surprised by Qi's reaction. Normally, after hearing his words like this, Qi's vigilance should have been put down. Why does this guy seem to distrust himself even more?
"Of course, if you can become Hokage, that would be the best."
He then added another sentence, but this sentence seemed to him to be flattering, and Qi seemed to be very disdainful.
"Only an idiot wants to be Hokage!"
Now that he knew the other party's true thoughts, Qi stopped pretending and started to speak rudely. After all, everyone was using each other...
"You cursed me?"
"Then Qi Jun, how on earth do you want to believe it?"
After being blocked by the other party time and time again, Yahiko finally became a little annoyed. Why couldn't the guy in front of him stop getting in?
But he just never had the chance to express his temper...
"Who am I to disbelieve it? If it were just what you just said, of course I would."
Qi's answer could be totally inconsistent. While it dispelled Yahiko's anger, it also confused him. Nagato and Nan, who were on the side, were even more confused...
"You believe what I say, but you are unwilling to cooperate with me?"
After a long silence, Yahiko suddenly began to wonder if Qi was playing tricks on him...
"I'm not kidding you."
Seeing Yahiko's face quickly turn sour, Qi also knew that he should speak clearly, otherwise he would fall out.
"This is not a question of whether I am willing or not, but I am not qualified. For such a matter, I suggest you talk to our team leader in person."
He finally came up with something constructive, at least in the eyes of Yahiko and others.
"Are you qualified..."
Yahiko glanced at Qi strangely, secretly thinking that this guy is really cautious, and he is not willing to reveal even a little bit of his truth to others...
"Okay, please lead the way. I just want to pay a visit to your Yellow Flash."
"Guys, please come with me. I hope the friendship between Konoha and Amegakure will last forever."
This time, it was Qi Xiaohao who made the "please" gesture to the Yahiko trio...
Although it is depressing to have plans disrupted, having this alliance is an unexpected blessing.
