It is naturally impossible for Karatachi Yagura and Genji to know Shōji's plan.
So I really think that Shōji's trip is entirely for their Kirigakure. It is inevitable that they will make misjudgments, but it is only for the future. After all, in view of the current situation, all this is still in line with common sense!
In this meeting, which seemed and was actually very smooth, Shōji also told Karatachi Yagura and Genji almost all the information he knew about Obito and some of Konoha's information, and only slightly concealed one or two key issues.
For example, in the case of Akatsuki.
Shōji does not intend to be exposed so early. He wants to use these ninja villages. Obito, Nagato Akatsuki, Shōji also wants to use them!
This is what smart people do.
Although it was a very formal negotiation between the two villages, and it still involved the overall strategic issues of the village, after all, it only covered two aspects, and it did not involve details, so the negotiation between the three did not last too long.
It's about two hours.
Karatachi Yagura carried some key information about Obito and Konoha donated by Shōji, and left the hotel where Shōji was staying with Genji.
Compared with the solemn and dignified appearance.
When he left, Karatachi Yagura's face looked slightly relaxed.
"Genji-san, Kirigakure will have to trouble you a lot in the future. Although Terumi Mei is very outstanding, he is still very young after all. Now there is Uchiha Shōji in Shinobi World, a terrifying existence that can be infinitely close to his ancestor. We Kirigakure should choose to keep a low profile!"
On the way back.
Looking at the cold moonlight high in the sky.
Karatachi Yagura also sighed and said.
"Mizukage is big... No, Yagura, is it really that serious? Even if the medical level in our village is not enough, we can still find a way from outside. I heard that the Princess Tsunade from Konohagakure left Konoha many years ago and traveled around Shinobi World. We can find a way to find her and ask her to treat you!"
Genji frowned and said with a very solemn tone.
The Ninja Village's vitality has already been damaged. If Mizukage dies in a short time, it will be even worse for Kirigakure.
"No need, Genji-san, I am not injured, but my vitality has been completely damaged. However, you don't need to worry too much. I estimate that I can still survive for at least two or three years. As long as you spend this period of time, try to cultivate Terumi Mei and the other younger generations in the village. Even if I am gone by then, there should be no big problems in the village with you in charge."
Karatachi Yagura said with a forced smile.
Three years of torture.
It really completely destroyed the body and mind of this Fourth Mizukage. In Original Work, he died not long after he was rescued. Even because the time was too short, there was no time to prepare, causing Three-Tails to directly escape from the control of Kirigakure.
In this life, it is already much stronger than in Original Work.
Saved some torture time.
Allowing Karatachi Yagura to survive for two or three years will not only allow the high-level power in the village to stabilize and transition, but also properly arrange and deal with Three-Tails's problems. This is already a very good result for Kirigakure.
"No matter what, you must not give up before it's time to give up. I will immediately arrange for people to search for traces of Princess Tsunade. You are our Kirigakure's Mizukage. As long as there is still a chance, you must persevere!"
Genji shook his head heavily and looked at Karatachi Yagura with a very serious expression.
Hear the words of Genji.
Karatachi Yagura was also slightly startled, and was full of emotions in his heart. You must know that at the beginning of his succession, he did not like to see Genji. It should be said that since the death of First Mizukage Byakuren, the three consecutive Mizukage were very I don't like Genji, and I always feel that Genji has divided the power and prestige that should belong to their Mizukage. There are quite a few Kiri Ninja who believe in their hearts that Genji's status is above Mizukage.
When Karatachi Yagura himself took over the throne, he also tried every means to squeeze Genji's power. He didn't realize it before. Looking back now, Genji seemed to have never objected to his repeated tests and squeezes, and gave in again and again.
This made Karatachi Yagura's inner emotions become more complicated.
'I was still too young and energetic at first. '
Karatachi Yagura thought with a little annoyance deep in his heart.
"Yes, Genji-san, I understand!"
It was also because of Genji's words that Karatachi Yagura cheered up again. Indeed, he was not at the end of his rope yet. As the shadow of a village, how could he give up so easily? I even think about my still young children. No matter what, I really have to insist on being the last!
"Yeah!"
Seeing that the dim color in Karatachi Yagura's pupils had faded a lot and a ray of light reappeared, Genji also nodded happily.
"Then let's go back first!"
"Yes!"
Karatachi Yagura and Genji also stepped back simultaneously.
It must be said that as the most senior veteran of Kirigakure, Genji has really worked hard for Kirigakure all his life, especially since the death of First Mizukage Byakuren. In the past forty or fifty years, Genji had to worry about it all the time. In addition to Third Mizukage being a relatively calm person, the earlier Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki was even more arrogant than Karatachi Yagura who had just succeeded to the throne!
It is because of this character that First Shinobi World War died together with Second Tsuchikage. You must know that at that time point, Hozuki Gengetsu had only succeeded for a few years. It can be said that Original Work just didn't have many pictures to express it, but Kirigakure has indeed been in the gathering storm all the time in the past decades.
There were endless waves, and Kirigakure was hit hard several times.
If Genji is not here.
The weakest among Five Great Shinobi Villages is probably not Sunagakure, but Kirigakure.
Genji has used practical actions for decades to truly explain what it means to have an elder in a family, just like having a treasure! '
As long as Konoha F4, especially Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō, have half the capacity, mentality and ability of Genji, Konohagakure will not only grow stronger, but at least it will not go downhill from Third Shinobi World War.
For the Ninja Village system, the quality and ability of senior leaders can really determine everything. At this point, among Five Great Shinobi Villages's current movies, only Third Tsuchikage Onoki and Fourth Raikage A are doing well. At least they can achieve stable internal development!
Konoha is also possible.
But Minato Namikaze's death in battle and Sarutobi Hiruzen's return to power truly interrupted the process of Konoha's revival.
It wasn't until the generation of Naruto in Original Work grew up that Konoha's situation began to improve.
This is why Shōji made up his mind when he decided to lead his family to escape Konoha. His family would either join Iwagakure or Kumogakure. In fact, they valued Ōnoki and Ai as shadows, whose ability and quality were indeed far superior to others!
After reaching a preliminary agreement with Karatachi Yagura and Genji, Shōji's intention to come to Land of Water this time was almost completely realized, destroying Obito's The primary goal of the plan is to reach an alliance with Kirigakure. Next, Kirigakure will cooperate with Iwagakure to issue a wanted order for 'Uchiha Obito' to all Shinobi World!
Directly publish everything Obito has done in these years, including Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack four years ago.
And to Konohagakure, put as much pressure on Sarutobi Hiruzen as possible, forcing him to order Kakashi Hatake to hand over the other Sharingan of 'S-Class Rogue Ninja' Uchiha Obito!
Konoha may not hand it over.
But there must be necessary pressure.
And next, Shōji will definitely have to find a way to determine the location of Kakashi. If there is a chance, Shōji will of course have to personally snatch the other Obito's eye from Kakashi.
Being able to do it is naturally the best, with more protection, but even if it is difficult to do, Shōji doesn't really care. The most important thing is to be strong. Shōji has a very strong hunch that as long as his Dōjutsu Power can be further strengthened, reaching the level of Uchiha Madara in Original Work!
Bishamonten Gate Technique can definitely be further strengthened.
At that time, Shōji will have a certain degree of confidence that he can drag Obito into his own 'realm world' without having to look closely at each other!
In short, in one sentence, Shōji will not miss anything that needs to be done, but it is also necessary to clearly distinguish the primary and secondary issues, strategically despise all opponents, and tactically pay full attention to all opponents. This is the most correct approach!
A night of silence.
After Karatachi Yagura and Genji left.
Shōji also reorganized the content of the discussion and considered what he should do next. After further summarizing, Summoning Technique once again sent out Ninja Cat Byakugyoku and passed the information back to the village. He also notified Fugaku, allowing Shisui to return to the clan in about the same time.
There was no right time before.
Now that everything is right.
For the problem of Obito.
Shōji, of course, wants to have more comprehensive discussions with the important beings in the clan such as Fugaku, Shisui, Elder Sōgen.
Then, the next day.
Shōji also took the initiative to say goodbye.
After rejecting Karatachi Yagura and Genji's polite attempts to stay.
Returning all the way west, I wanted to head straight back to the mainland and the direction of my own Ninja Village. The original intention and accompanying goals of this trip were almost all completed, except for the last luminous water pool space passage leading to the moon. After all, it was a very difficult position to determine. There was no corresponding news from Cat Granny.
Shōji does not have any urgency. You must know that even if the position is determined now, Shōji will not land on the moon immediately. At least, he will have to wait until his Dōjutsu Power is further strengthened and Sage Mode is mastered.
This must be at least a year or two later. Therefore, Shōji is not in a hurry. It is best to focus on arranging Obito's affairs at the moment. If possible, try to divert the attention of other ninja villages to Obito, and then dig out Akatsuki bit by bit, so that they can face each other in advance.
In this way, Shōji can enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman!
And it was also when Shōji had just returned to the largest port city in the northwest of the main island of Land of Water, planning to leave Land of Water by boat here and return to the mainland.
Suddenly.
It was the first time I saw this person in this life, but in my memory it was an extremely familiar slender figure, with the exaggerated bandages, a thick and long knife carried behind him, and the Kiri Ninja Forehead Protector on the forehead.
This figure is not someone else.
It is the first BOSS character to appear in Original Work - Zabuza Momochi, known as the ghost. At this moment, this Demon Zabuza happens to be standing in front of a ragged child of about six or seven years old who is huddled in a corner with his bare feet and legs crossed.
Messy hair, grimy face.
'This is? '
First he was stunned.
Shōji seemed to have thought of something again.
'It can't be such a coincidence, right? '
Shōji raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered in his heart, but there was no hesitation in the movement of his feet. He even slightly accelerated his pace and headed towards the location of Zabuza.
This figure has no intention of hiding any traces.
"Huh!?"
Zabuza also noticed the immediately tense heartstrings and the twisted figure at the first moment.
"Uchiha Shōji!?"
The moment I saw the face of Shōji.
The face of Kirigakure's ghost child also changed suddenly, almost instinctively. Kubikiribōchō immediately pulled out, with this terrifying aura permeating his whole body!
"!? Ninja!?"
"There's another ninja battle!?"
"Run!"
"Get out of here quickly!"
When the ordinary people in the surrounding areas saw this scene, their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately quickened their pace and fled away from this area. In the past two or three years, Kiri Ninjas and wandering ninjas often had melees in Land of Water major cities, which often affected ordinary people.
Now ordinary people like Land of Water will immediately retreat as soon as they see Kiri Ninja appear!
Today is because the fog has become thicker again, and some Koyuki flowers have fallen in the early morning. Passers-by did not notice the figure of Zabuza for the first time. Now that Zabuza makes a move, the power of Chakra bursts out. When passers-by are aware of it, they naturally have to run away quickly.
Off the field.
Except Zabuza and Shōji.
Only the child remained in the same place, still holding his legs with both hands, maybe because of the cold, or maybe because he was intimidated by Zabuza's momentum. The uncontrollable trembling figure looked at Shōji and Zabuza with a hint of panic in his only white and bright eyes.
"Haha, if I admit my mistake correctly, you should be Zabuza Momochi who initiated the assassination of Mizukage half a month ago. I have to say that you are indeed courageous. However, Zabuza, are you sure you want to attack me?"
Shōji still looked at Zabuza in the opposite position with a leisurely expression.
Don't say that it is just a Zabuza of ordinary Jōnin level.
Even Original Work has already reached Elite Jōnin, and even Zabuza, who can barely be regarded as the Quasi-Kage level, is not an enemy in front of today's Shōji. This is no longer a perception of one dimension.
"!"
These words of Shōji.
It also made Zabuza tremble subconsciously.
But there was still a hint of usual ferocity on his face as he said, "Hmph, even if you Uchiha Shōji are famous, I, Zabuza Momochi, can't be captured without mercy!"
"Captured without mercy? Did Mr. Zabuza make a mistake? Do you think I'm here to hunt you down? If that's the case, I can only say that Mr. Zabuza, your misunderstanding is a bit deep."
Zabuza When those seemingly decisive words fell.
Shōji also raised his eyebrows and said this with a hint of a smile.
"Eh?"
This also made Zabuza stunned.
"You are not our Iwagakure traitor. The one who assassinated was Mizukage, not our Lord Tsuchikage. Therefore, I have no reason to take action against you. Has Mr. Zabuza been in a bit of trouble lately?"
Shōji spread his hands slightly and said with a smile.
"Oh? Huh? That's true. Then why does the famous Uchiha Shōji appear here? It can't be a chance encounter, right?"
The reason is indeed such a reason.
Zabuza really feels that Shōji has no reason to pursue him, not to mention that even if Zabuza is unwilling to admit it in his heart, there is an essential gap between the two of them. He is famous Shinobi World's Uchiha contemporary Shura was a illustrious being who powerfully defeated Fourth Kazekage, but he was a defector who only had the title of 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen' and failed to assassinate Mizukage.
There is really nothing worthy of others' attention.
"Haha, although you may not believe it, it was indeed a chance encounter. I was also interested in Zabuza who dared to assassinate Mizukage, so I took the initiative to show up. How about, Mr. Zabuza, are you interested in joining us Iwagakure? Don't worry, as long as you join us sincerely, all the problems you are worried about will not be a problem."
Shōji said with a chuckle.
This statement is half true and half false. The main reason why Shōji stopped when he saw Zabuza was actually because of the little guy in ragged clothes next to him. If he guessed correctly.
This child is most likely the boy in Original Work who is suspected to have the bloodline of the Yuki Clan and can use the bloodstain of Ice Release named Bai.
Say without a doubt.
Bai is also a genius with high cultivation value. Although judging from his performance in Original Work, Bai's character is indeed a bit unsuitable for becoming a ninja, but it is precisely because of this that Shōji likes such a character very much.
It's okay if he didn't encounter nature. Now that it's such a coincidence, Shōji naturally plans to bring him back to Iwagakure to train him well, and his younger brothers and sisters are now studying in the Ninja Academy.
Yang possesses the impulse and a trace of arrogance that most Uchiha teenagers must have. Saki's words are a little too gentle.
Shōji was originally worried about who should be arranged to form a team with his younger brother and sister after graduation. Karin would definitely not be able to do it. Originally, Shōji was still considering Neji Hyuga, but now that he saw Bai, Shōji suddenly felt that this one was more suitable!
As for Zabuza, it's just incidental.
Although Shōji is no longer looking down on Zabuza at his current level, after all, he is still standing at the upper level of the Shinobi World pyramid, which is enough to surpass ninety-nine percent of ninjas. He possesses Kubikiribōchō, and he is also good at assassination. Jōnin.
There is still value worth recruiting.
As for Kirigakure's problem, it is still very easy to deal with. Shōji believes that Karatachi Yagura and Genji will give it to themselves.
Hear the words of Shōji.
Zabuza was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of surprise and uncertainty.
He really hasn't considered this level, but after careful consideration, this is indeed the most common development.
People came to Land of Water.
Meeting such a powerful rebellious ninja like myself.
I want to recruit him as a subordinate.
This is indeed in line with the relevant regulations in Shinobi World.
However, Zabuza is not the kind of being who likes to be inferior to others. Whether in Original Work or in this life, Zabuza chose to assassinate Mizukage. A natural It was the bloody pressure brought by Karatachi Yagura controlled by Obito that caused Zabuza's dissatisfaction, and another more important reason was that Zabuza wanted to be in power!
He wants to become the most powerful person in Kirigakure!
After the failure, he escaped from Kirigakure with the intention of establishing his own power. Bai was the first potential subordinate that Zabuza valued. However, judging from the subsequent development of Original Work, Zabuza really did not have this talent.
From his defection to Kirigakure to the beginning of the plot later.
It has been several years, but the prototype of the organization has not been established at all.
It can only be said that this person is only suitable to be a high-level thug. He really has no ability to become a leader. It's just that he can't see through it himself, and he is still ambitious enough to think that he can. This is also the case in this life, and now he is facing the recruitment of Shōji.
Zabuza also showed a very tangled look.
He is no longer willing to obey other people's orders to act, but he is also a little timid to refuse Shōji. His family knows his own affairs, and the Uchiha Shōji in front of him is definitely not a being that he can match. If he really wants to fight, he probably doesn't even have a 10% chance of winning (from Zabuza's own perspective).
Even the probability of successfully escaping is not very high.
Changing expressions.
There is endless hesitation deep in my heart.
But in the final moment.
"What if I say no!"
The consciousness of ambition finally prevailed.
Zabuza seemed to need all the courage to say such words, and it was also at the moment when the words were spoken.
Zabuza's hands are also clenching Kubikiribōchō in the palm of his hand more and more tightly. Even if the chance is very slim, he still has to fight for it.
