This was something that could be expected before coming here, and Mammoth also had the corresponding awareness in advance. As one of the dignified Five Great Shinobi Villages, how could Kumogakure let you take advantage of it so easily? No matter what the rhythm is, after all, they are still on the passive side who want others, but they understand clearly that when it comes to facing the scene, Mammoth is still very uncomfortable deep down, this feeling of being treated like a slave.
Mammoth took a deep breath and slowly calmed down the restless emotions deep in his heart. I don't know how long it took, but also after Mammoth adjusted his psychology, he turned his gaze and looked at the corner of the room with the strongest shadows, and said expressionlessly, "Is this the result the four elders want to see!?"
In the room that originally seemed to be empty except for Mammoth, just as Mammoth finished speaking, a faint chuckle rang out.
"Isn't this what Mammoth-kun expected in advance? Aren't all the ninjas in these great ninja villages like this? When did Five Great Shinobi Villages ever look at our little ninja villages with a straight eye? Kumogakure also So, the attitude of this Lord Fourth Raikage is just to take advantage of us. If we really want to realize the revival of our Kusagakure, we can only rely on ourselves, Mr. Mammoth!"
This slightly hoarse tone was followed by a thin figure stepping out from the shadow corner. He was wearing the same Kusa Ninja uniform as Mammoth. The aura exuding from his body was strong enough to prove that the person who came was also at the Jōnin level, but in Mammoth's In his memory, Kusagakure did not have such a Jōnin at all. This figure also suddenly appeared to meet him after he came to Kumogakure. If it weren't for some of the words he said and the evidence he brought out, it would be enough to prove that his identity is indeed a person under the command of the four elders in his own ninja village.
Mammoth even wonders if this is Iwagakure's conspiracy.
But even so.
The information brought by this special man named Yanli, who was about thirty years old, still made Mammoth almost unable to suppress the raging anger deep in his heart, which could even be said to be a cold murderous intention!
"Hmph! On our own? So is this the reason why the four elders deliberately took away Box of Paradise and watched my father die in the hands of Iwagakure Ninja!? How do you want me to trust you!?"
Mammoth stared angrily, even though he lowered his voice, the anger clearly revealed was so intense at this moment.
"Mammoth, are you still worried about this matter? Didn't I explain it on behalf of the elders at the beginning? This is an accident caused by Mr. Boro. Box of Paradise This was originally ours Kusagakure is the highest secret. To use Box of Paradise, it is not only the leader, but also the joint approval of the four elders. Master Boro secretly hides it from the four elders and wants to activate it. Using Box of Paradise is already against the rules of the village, and after all, the four elders did not deliberately cause trouble. Do the four elders really want to see Kusagakure completely fall? After all, it is? Master Boro does not understand the true method of opening Box of Paradise. This treasure phantom inherited from the Sage of Six Paths period not only requires the corresponding opening seal, but also requires the contribution of matching sacrifices!"
Yanli didn't care at all about Mammoth's angry expression. Instead, he smiled softly, sat cross-legged in front of Mammoth, and then continued with a meaningful tone.
"Sacrifice?"
Mammoth's pupils shrank and he still said with a cold look.
"Yes, it's a sacrifice. This is the reason why Lord Boro's summoning failed. The four elders just didn't want to see Box of Paradise fall into the hands of Iwagakure and completely cut off the road to complete revival of our village, so they transferred Box of Paradise in advance!"
Yanli nodded and said.
"Hmph, do you think I will believe what you say? It's just a so-called weapon, but it still needs sacrifices? It's really ridiculous!"
Mammoth After sneering, he still had an expression of extreme distrust and said coldly.
"Who said it's just a weapon? What if I told you that Box of Paradise is the ultimate existence that can fulfill all wishes!?"
Yanli leaned forward slightly, looking at Mammoth with a very strange look and said.
"What? Fulfill all wishes? Are you still deceiving me? There is just a terrifying existence comparable to Tailed Beast sealed inside. What kind of wish machine? If you still have such a deceptive attitude, then there will be nothing to talk about!"
Hear the words of Yanli.
Mammoth's face was even more angry.
In his opinion, this was just because the four elders were deceiving him. His father had already said that wish fulfillment was a lie. This Box of Paradise was used as the ultimate weapon in the Sage of Six Paths period.
It can be said that Boro is still accurate in the information of Box of Paradise, but Yanli, or to be more precise, the four elders did not intend to deceive Mammoth subjectively. The reason is very simple. These four elders of Kusagakure really think that Box of Paradise is the kind of existence that can realize any wish.
This point is vividly demonstrated in Original Work. This may be a mistake made by the ancestors of Kusagakure when they passed on the corresponding information, or it may be the wishful thinking of the four elders after they have grown old. But in any case, on this point, the four elders are firm in their opinions.
This has also affected the Kusa Ninjas under their command to a great extent.
"Haha, if it is really just a war weapon, what qualifications does it have to call it the most valued treasure of Sage of Six Paths? Although Lord Boro is the leader of our Kusagakure, after all, he is still not as knowledgeable as the four elders about the history of our Kusagakure. The connection box is It is a wish machine that can fulfill all wishes. Of course, any wish has certain limitations. For example, it is impossible to completely destroy the world, but this machine can allow people to gain supreme power, and even the wish to resurrect the dead can be realized. Mr. Mammoth, don't you want to resurrect Mr. Boro?"
It was like a devil's whisper. When Yanli said these very tempting words, it was obvious that Mammoth's pupils shrank again, and a look of horror appeared on his face at the right time.
The technique of resurrection is a technique that involves the supreme taboo field. It can be said that in the thousands of years of history since the birth of the ninja, there has been no shortage of people to study this technique. Human beings are still afraid of death after all. They want eternity, they want to be able to resurrect their loved ones, etc.!
Even though Mammoth seems a little out of place, the relationship between him and his father Boro is extremely deep. If there is even a slight possibility that his father can be resurrected, he will definitely take that step without hesitation.
It must be said that at this moment, Mammoth was completely moved. If Box of Paradise really had such an ability, even if the probability was only one percent, or even one in ten thousand, Mammoth would be willing to take a gamble!
Mammoth can be indifferent to other people, but his father is the person Mammoth cherishes the most. When he thinks of the possibility of resurrecting his father, Mammoth obviously cannot suppress the waves deep in his heart!!
"Resurrection!? Are you telling the truth!?"
Mammoth stared fiercely at Yanli in the opposite position.
"Haha, do you think it is necessary for the four elders to deceive you on this matter? Mr. Mammoth, this is related to the core interests of our Kusagakure. You must understand that we, Kusagakure, once almost dominated with Box of Paradise Shinobi World, is this something that only Tailed Beast can do? Don't worry, Mr. Mammoth, as long as you agree to cooperate with the elders, your wish can be realized. The sacrifices and other costs have been prepared in advance, now it's just time to wait!"
Yanli said with a slight smile.
"Time?"
"Yes, otherwise do you think that this Box of Paradise can be used casually? The choice of sacrifices needs to be careful and meticulous, and it must perfectly meet the conditions. But you don't need to do any of this, Mr. Mammoth, you just need to do a good job The work on Kumogakure's side can be done in two years or at most three years. The elders can make all preparations, and the attitude here at Kumogakure is that they will probably not start taking action until at least two years later. At that time, it will be the time for our Kusagakure to revive!"
Yanli said with a smile.
Just as Fourth Raikage A and Dodai value Mammoth's appeal as the son of Boro, the only four remaining The same is true for the Kusagakure elders. Although they have a high position of power, Boro is the real leader of Kusagakure. In terms of prestige in the minds of ordinary Kusa Ninja, they are certainly Boro must be better. Even though Boro has failed completely and Mammoth is on the run, after all, he still has this level of identity. Those four elders If they want to realize their ambition, let Kusagakure dominate the world, and make themselves the most powerful person above Shinobi World, they must win over Mammoth!
The 'resurrection hope' provided by this is the most attractive condition.
Mammoth was completely silent at this moment, but this silence only lasted a few seconds. When Mammoth raised his eyes again, he could clearly see a ray of red color coming out of the depths of his pupils.
"I understand. I will definitely cooperate with the elders' actions, but please remember that my father is the leader of Kusagakure!"
"Haha, this is of course a matter of course, Mr. Mammoth!"
Mammoth's tone seemed to be extremely decisive, but it also made Yanli's face reveal a ray of joy, and he nodded heavily and said in response.
"Well, that's it for today. I will go back immediately to report the good news to the elders. In addition, Kumo Ninja's security is still very tight. Please Mammoth, please be extremely careful and cautious!"
"Humph, you don't need to tell me, I understand it myself!"
Mammoth said with a slight snort.
"Then I'll be rude first!"
Yanli smiled lowly, and then his figure slowly disappeared, completely hidden in the darkness!
'The wish machine of all possibilities? Just watch, father, I will definitely resurrect you. Kumogakure and the four elders all want to use me, right? Then let's take a look at the methods between us, who is better! '
in this dark room.
Mammoth clenched his hands tightly, and a cold look came out of his pupils, murmuring in a low voice deep in his heart.
Everyone can make calculations, and everyone has his own ambitions and plans. In the end, who can realize his plan depends not only on his own efforts, but also on whether God will favor him!
Anyway, for Mammoth, he has no way out. Even for the only possibility in theory, Mammoth will step forward fearlessly, even if there is an abyss ahead!
As for Fourth Raikage who wants to use Mammoth, as well as the four Kusagakure elders who transferred Box of Paradise in advance, it is unknown whether they will be back-bitten by Mammoth in the future!
Planning and preparation among all parties.
This is not calm. It should even be said that the ups and downs of Konoha 51 are coming to an end. It can be said that since Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Konoha each signed peace agreements and ended the state of war, it has been rare for the entire Shinobi World to enter a truly peaceful environment.
It doesn't matter if it's a big country or a small country.
The people can finally breathe a sigh of relief and prepare for the arrival of the New Year. This is also an extremely rare New Year where people from all over the world can enjoy peace!
It is also a rare New Year for Shōji, or to be more precise, the entire Uchiha Clan can relax. After all, in the past, before the clan left Konoha, they were always scheming with the senior officials, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack The New Year that followed was even more miserable. The New Year in 1950 was the moment when the clan decided to break away from Konoha. The entire clan entered wandering mode, and there was no way to celebrate the New Year. In the New Year of 1951, although the clan had stabilized, it had only been a year since Iwagakure.
Everyone in the clan is still in the stage of familiarity and adaptation, not to mention the few pessimists. Even the most optimistic clan members, including Shōji, live cautiously and are really afraid of the Konoha scene reappearing. However, as they have stabilized step by step in 51 years, and two full years have passed, it can be said that they Uchiha Clan have initially taken root in Iwagakure and survived!
Shōji has completely gotten rid of the last trace of worry before. He can be 100% sure that Lord Tsuchikage at home really values him very much. And now, no matter how impossible it is for Shōji, he can still sense that Lord Tsuchikage really regards himself as the next generation successor. And it is not just as simple as the fifth generation, there is a high probability that it will be the fourth generation!
After all, considering the plot in Original Work, the possibility of him taking over as Lord Fourth Tsuchikage is really very high. At this point, Shōji no longer needs to worry about the adaptability of the clan in the village. They Uchiha Clan can openly and honestly say that they are the Uchiha Clan of Iwagakure!
Ordinary people can also gradually feel recognized and accepted by other people in the village, not only Shōji, but also Yashiro, Kogen, Inaho, Tekka The tribesmen have made other friends in the village one after another. It can be said that the tribe has completely integrated into Iwagakure. The worry on the faces of the tribesmen has completely disappeared, and what is revealed is a full sense of stability and happiness!
This kind of life is what Uchiha Clan once wanted most!
Especially for the old, young, women and children in the clan, a stable life is the best!
Therefore, as the New Year of this 52nd year is approaching, Uchiha Clan is already filled with a very happy atmosphere. Iwagakure is also decorated with lanterns and festoons inside and outside, and every household is hung with some festive things related to the New Year!
And this year is also Shinobi World in a real sense, there are no disturbances everywhere. Unlike in the past few years, there is either a small quarrel here or a small fight there. The most important thing is that it has lasted for several years Kumogakure and Konoha The friction has just come to an end, and Ōnoki also ordered Jōnin Squad in advance to arrange the corresponding duty rotation and defense tasks, so that all Iwagakure Ninjas can enjoy a relaxing vacation as much as possible.
Even for the Iwagakure Ninja who are stationed at the border and cannot return to rest, Ōnoki also asks Jōnin Squad to make proper arrangements for the labor force. This New Year is a relatively peaceful New Year in which they can relax a little.
During these rare few days of vacation, Shōji almost stayed at home to help his grandma with housework and buy the necessary New Year's soba noodles and other New Year's goods. It was a peaceful and ordinary New Year in the true sense.
Then it was also the moment when the New Year's bell rang.
When time flips to Konoha 52 in Original Work.
Shōji, who brought his brother and sister to pay homage during the New Year, felt a strange energy wave that could be sensed at that moment when the light of dawn shone on the earth.
'So this is the essence of Natural Energy? '
The bottleneck that I had been unable to break through for a long time was suddenly understood at this moment. It may be the impact of the environment, it may be the result of accumulation over time, or it may be the changes brought about after opening Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
But no matter which factor it is.
On the morning of January 1, Konoha 52.
There is no doubt that Shōji can completely sense the huge Natural Energy surrounding his body. Compared with before, he could only vaguely sense it and could not absorb a trace of it and transform it into. For Senjutsu Chakra, this breakthrough is of great milestone significance. Even if it is said that there is still a long way to go before successfully absorbing Natural Energy, completely refining Senjutsu Chakra, and entering the complete Sage Mode!
But if you can clearly sense Natural Energy, you have already taken the most critical step from 0 to 1 and achieved a breakthrough!
What follows is just a matter of time and continuous hard work to unlock this achievement. Moreover, the goal of Shōji is not just to enter Sage Mode in a calm environment, or to use Shadow Clone to cheat and enter Sage Mode like Naruto, but to regard Hashirama Senju as his own goal!
You must do it 100%, unconditionally, and enter Sage Mode in one second!
There is only such Sage Mode.
He is an immortal in the true sense!
This is the strength that Shōji can truly rely on.
'Everything really came so smoothly! '
Looking at the rising sun in the distance, Shōji's pupils showed a hint of joy. Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan has already achieved it. Senjutsu actually has the most important breakthrough at this juncture. The two forces that he can best grasp at the current stage have also opened up new realms. This is really great news for Shōji!
Although training in Senjutsu is not an easy task, even if you achieve a breakthrough of 0, you need to fully master it, and you have to use 'year' as the calculation unit, and it is difficult to reach the level of Hashirama Senju, but to put it bluntly, although this is the ultimate level of Shōji The ultimate goal is, as long as you can initially master Senjutsu and enter Sage Mode, even Sage Mode, which is Naruto that must be entered in the static mode when you first learn it, is enough for Shōji!
Although Shadow Clone is a ninjutsu that is a luxury item for most ninjas, Shōji is definitely qualified to use it lavishly. Of course, it cannot be compared with Naruto, a perverted guy. Regardless of Nine-Tails Chakra, the amount of Chakra in the main body is a hundred times that of Kakashi!
Shōji definitely does not have the capital.
But the overall Chakra volume of the Uchiha Clan is not low, otherwise why would they open Susanoo? Why use those proprietary Dojutsu, and the Chakra quantity of Shōji is also at the forefront of the Uchiha Clan.
Shadow Clone Such a technique Chakra consumes, Shōji is still a HOLD, the most important thing is to learn how to Naruto, prepare some Shadow Clone in advance Place it in a secret quiet space, absorb Natural Energy, extract Senjutsu Chakra, and then use Summoning Technique to summon the main body, remove Shadow Clone Technique, and obtain Senjutsu Chakra!
Naruto was assisted by Toad of Mount Myōboku.
Shōji is also assisted by the cat clan that Uchiha Clan has contracted with from generation to generation. Although the cat clan that Uchiha Clan has contracted with from generation to generation have no combat capabilities at all, they can only provide Uchiha Clan with necessary information and special weapons and medicinal materials for the Uchiha Clan.
Of course, not everyone in the Uchiha clan has concluded a psychic contract with the Ninja Cat clan. These Ninja cats were not originally used for combat. They are one of the important logistics and intelligence components of the Uchiha clan. Generally speaking, the clan leader and the most important few people in the clan will enter into a contract with the Ninja Cat clan!
This is also to facilitate contact.
Of course, apart from Summoning Contract, the clan also has other means of contact. After all, Ninja Cat Clan does not stay in the exclusive psychic world, but exists in the real world. This can be seen from the fact that in Original Work, Uchiha Sasuke took Suigetsu, Karin, Jūgo and others to the ruined stronghold where Ninja Cat Clan was located before the decisive battle with Itachi. Moreover, Uchiha Sasuke had obviously contacted Cat Granny in advance before arriving!
But Summoning Contract of Uchiha Sasuke is the Ryūchi Cave Orochi clan inherited from Orochimaru. This is enough to prove it!
'It seems that I need to go to Cat Granny soon. The new year is really off to a good start! '
Shōji was thinking silently deep in his heart.
