"Bai, I will trouble you to take more care of these two useless brothers and sisters in my family!"
Shōji also turned to look at Bai, who was standing with his hands tied up with a respectful look from beginning to end, and said softly.
"Yes, Lord Shōji, I will definitely take care of Master Haoyang and Miss Saki."
Bai still looked extremely respectful and nodded gently in response Responded.
"Yes, I know, brother!"
"Well, Shouji-nii."
"Please give me some advice, Brother Bai!"
For the gentle and humble Bai, Uchiha Yang and Uchiha Saki both have very good senses. Before Shōji returned in the afternoon, the two of them had become close to Bai. The three of them were also in the same age group, so it was naturally easier for them to get to know each other. If they were dissatisfied, Yang still felt that Bai was too respectful, which made Yang a little uncomfortable.
"Also, Brother Bai, you can just call me and Sister Saki by our names. There is no need to call me master and miss. It sounds very uncomfortable!"
Uchiha Yang also looked at Bai and said carelessly.
"Yes, Bai, you are all of the same age, you don't need to be so reserved."
Shōji also said warmly.
"Yes, Lord Shōji, I understand."
Bai still looked like he was 'accepting it humbly and determined not to change'.
Shōji could only shake his head helplessly.
Forget it, they have just arrived at my home, and some things are indeed difficult to change at will. Forcing them to make changes may be counterproductive.
'Just take it one step at a time. '
Shōji looked at Bai in front of him, and suddenly another nonsensical thought came to him.
"By the way, Bai, do you have a last name? I forgot to ask you before."
"Huh? Sorry, Lord Shōji, I don't have a last name."
"Oh? Really? How about I give you a last name, Mizunazuki?"
"Yes, it's my pleasure, Lord Shōji."
"Haha, okay, then from today on, you are Yuki Haku!"
"Yes, Lord Shōji!"
This is not a necessary and established development, it is just an idea that suddenly popped up in Shōji's mind when he recalled some content that the other half of the soul saw in his previous life.
For Shōji.
White is water without moon.
It might be more in line with a certain impression in his own memory.
Even if this is not in line with reality, it can be regarded as a kind of "secondary" wish.
Shōji, who returned to the clan, and Iwagakure are once again busy with the intelligence, logistics, scientific research and other departments. Shōji is also going to be involved in In my own research, not only the power of Zero-Tail and Dragon Vein, but also other research materials on the power of Yang Release that I learned after going out this time.
They all need to invest further in their own experiments, and Wood Release cells's replication experiment at Yakushi Kabuto has actually made a breakthrough. This makes Shōji very happy, that is, in less than a month.
Yakushi Kabuto can actually find the trick.
I have to say that in this aspect, Yakushi Kabuto is really talented.
This also makes Shōji full of confidence in his next experiments, including the accidentally captured White Zetsu, which is one of the best natural research materials.
This is the moment for Shōji to concentrate on his experimental plan for the time being.
Shinobi World has become turbulent once again because of the joint statement issued by Iwagakure and Kirigakure.
Because he brought Bai with him, Shōji's return to the village was delayed by three or four days. On the way Shōji returned, the information of 'Uchiha Obito' was already spread among Shinobi World.
Anyone can clearly know that the real culprit behind Konohagakure's Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack was a boy named Uchiha Obito who was only fourteen or fifteen years old. The moment this news was passed, it immediately set off a wave of extremely fierce turmoil in the entire Shinobi World. Although it was extremely large Most people were dubious, but considering that Uchiha Shōji and Shisui Uchiha were both at similar or even younger ages than Megatron Shinobi World, and that this was a statement jointly issued by Iwagakure and Kirigakure, these people had to choose to believe it.
It was at this moment that the reputation of the Uchiha Clan became even more impressive. Mangekyō Sharingan can really control Tailed Beast, and it can even control the most powerful Nine-Tails. The other eight Tailed Beast must be even more important.
While understanding this, the ninja villagers from the small countries looked at the current Iwagakure with even more frightened eyes!
This is a transcendent and terrifying existence that is infinitely close to the Konohagakure that was at its peak!
What's missing now is a super strong person who can overwhelm the entire Shinobi World with his own strength, just like First Hokage or Uchiha Madara back then!
Uchiha Shōji seems to be showing such a trend.
Combined with the strong military power that Iwagakure has continuously demonstrated in the past two years, even if they did not really win in the confrontation with Konoha, these small country ninja villages are still more and more determined that at a certain point in the future, Iwagakure will definitely replace Konohagakure in both name and substance, and dominate the entire Shinobi World!
This is the view of the small country's ninja village, but the attitude of the remaining three big country's ninja village is not entirely the same.
South, Sunagakure.
"Humph, Uchiha Obito? Another piece of news that is deliberately eye-catching. Uchiha Clan really refuses to stop!"
Rasa was wearing a royal robe, sitting on his Kazekage's Office main seat, looking at the information placed on the table, with a look of disdain on his face, and said with a cold snort.
"Lord Fourth, although it is not ruled out that this is the old suspicion formation of the Uchiha Clan and Iwagakure, but Kirigakure is not easy to explain, unless the two ninja villages have some conspiracy, and the target is most likely Konoha?"
Baki, who was at the bottom, said this in a guessing tone after thinking for a moment.
Rasa on hearing.
He also looked startled, and after a long time, he nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, Kirigakure is not easy to explain. If the target is Konoha, okay, the future development is likely to be beneficial to us Sunagakure, but if it is true, Baki!"
"Yes, Lord Fourth!"
"Immediately send Anbu to Land of Water to investigate the news, and activate lurking personnel to collect as much information as possible and come back. Be sure to confirm the authenticity of the matter!"
Rasa looked at Baki and said in a very serious tone.
Now Shinobi World can influence the whole body with just one move. After all, there is no real intelligence evidence and he has never seen Uchiha Obito. Rasa definitely doesn't take 'Uchiha Obito' seriously. Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack is still not sure who is responsible for the drama!
Of course Rasa will not let go of his vigilance towards the Uchiha Clan, especially Uchiha Shōji, who is a powerful enemy who defeated him head-on, but as Kazekage, what needs to be considered more is the possibility of an alliance between Kirigakure and Iwagakure!
If this is really confirmed, Rasa will have to adjust the strategy of his Ninja Village next. Even if his target is really Konoha, is there any guarantee that he will attack them Sunagakure? There is a precedent for Kirigakure taking a detour from the southern sea area and landing in the southern part of Land of Wind to fight Sunagakure Ninja!
Some risk factors must be nipped in the cradle in advance, and some opportunities that may be encountered must be prepared in advance!
No matter what kind of expansion it is.
Rasa must give priority to gathering intelligence so that they can make the most correct judgment.
"Yes!"
Baki also immediately bowed and responded.
After all, Sunagakure is still relatively weak. Rasa can only cope with the changes by remaining unchanged, hoping to make his Ninja Village rise again.
It depends not only on one's own efforts, but also on whether other Four Great Shinobi Villagess are given corresponding opportunities. Konoha, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure enter the melee mode, allowing them Sunagakure to fish in troubled waters. This is the situation Rasa wants to see most.
And also at this moment.
Rasa is even more determined to speed up the training of the new Tailed Beast Jinchuriki in his ninja village. In the future Shinobi World structure, Tailed Beast's power will be indispensable. Even if that is his biological son, Rasa will not have any hesitation anymore.
"Karura, please forgive me, all this is for the future of the village, I am Kazekage, I must make such a decision!"
Rasa stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window with his hands folded, looking at the endless gray and yellow colors of his ninja village. The image of his deceased wife flashed through his mind, and a trace of reminiscence and regret appeared in his pupils, but it was soon replaced by a touch of determination.
As the shadow of a village, Rasa is absolutely not willing to see Sunagakure sink like this. He must restore Sunagakure's former glory, and go even further. Even Rasa has deep ambitions for Shinobi World Hegemony!
Unlike Rasa caution must be exercised.
In the northeastern part of the continent, inside Kumogakure.
Fourth Raikage A is extremely arrogant. In the previous war, he swallowed the entire Land of Hot Springs with almost zero effort, annexed Yugakure, and obtained a large amount of military supplies from Konoha. The power of Kumogakure has been completely further strengthened.
When Fourth Raikage A himself transplanted Byakugan and gradually adapted to the changes brought about by Byakugan, Fourth Raikage A was already the first person to claim to be Shinobi World!
He now has enough confidence to catch up with his father Third Raikage. With the overall strength of Kumogakure, the most important thing is that both Yugito and Killer B can perfectly exert the power of Tailed Beast.
Fourth Raikage A really feels that his ninja village is the strongest ninja village in the world.
Therefore, at the moment when he received the message almost at the same time, Fourth Raikage, whose eyes had turned completely white, also snorted coldly, with a look of extreme disdain on his face. "Uchiha Obito? Huh, just name one person and you can control the most powerful Nine-Tails? Can all the Mangekyo in the Uchiha Clan still control Tailed Beast? It's so ridiculous that they all think they are Uchiha Madara!"
"Mangekyō Sharingan indeed Tailed Beast has a very powerful restraining effect, but I also think that at most it is limited to One-Tail to Seven-Tails, Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, it must be Only Uchiha Madara could fully control it, Uchiha Clan, no, or to be more precise, this should be a smoke bomb deliberately released by Lord Tsuchikage from Iwagakure. The target is most likely Konoha!"
Dodai in the front position also nodded slightly and said.
This is not arrogance and arrogance, it is just a cognitive bias caused by the different patterns and levels. The most important point is that although there were few Uchiha Clans in the past, it is not that there were no Mangekyō Sharingan clan members. If Tailed Beast could be controlled so easily, would Konoha's three Shinobi World War fights be so hard?
Of course, at this time, Dodai also subconsciously ignored that Uchiha Clan's situation in Konohagakure was really not that good, and the clansman who turned on Mangekyō Sharingan might not let the village know.
Even if you know it.
It is impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō to let people from the Uchiha Clan deal with Tailed Beast Jinchuriki. God knows whether this will increase the chips for the Uchiha Clan!?
"Konoha? Well, this is indeed very possible. Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack back then was originally full of doubts!"
Fourth Raikage said with wide eyes, and his face was full of strong evil energy at this moment.
"However, Kirigakure is still worthy of suspicion. Dodai, focus on investigating what happened at Land of Water. The relationship between Iwagakure and Kirigakure still needs to be carefully guarded. This is likely to affect our next plan!"
Being confident is one thing, being prepared is another.
Shinobi World has been at peace for long enough.
It has been five years since the end of Third Shinobi World War. Those were just small fights before. The ones who kept fighting were Iwagakure, but it had nothing to do with their Kumogakure. In these years, at most, they rubbed against Konoha in Land of Hot Springs for a while. It was enough to recuperate!
If Land of Hot Springs's interests had not been completely integrated and swallowed up, and Byakugan's own Byakugan also needed some time to adapt, Fourth Raikage A would have started a war long ago.
But even that requires some preparation and adaptation time.
In Fourth Raikage A's view, it only takes about one or two years. During this period, the prerequisites for the war must be prepared together.
And unlike the previous goal, Fourth Raikage A has now turned its attention to Iwagakure. After the previous collision, Fourth Raikage A seems to have weakened Konoha. Even though there are more than 20,000 ninja legions in the sky, there are three Kage Level strong men, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, but the performance in the previous war, Konoha has already made Fourth Raikage A look down on!
On the contrary, it was the strength shown by Iwagakure that made Fourth Raikage A afraid.
In his opinion, Iwagakure's momentum must be suppressed!
It just so happened that Mammoth, the son of the leader Kusagakure that the village had accepted before, was a good foreshadowing and excuse.
As long as the time comes, Fourth Raikage A will take this opportunity to directly launch a war against Iwagakure, but now the joint statement between Iwagakure and Kirigakure makes Fourth Raikage A slightly scrupulous. If the two major ninja villages really form an alliance, Fourth Raikage A still has to carefully consider the pros and cons.
Just like Five Great Shinobi Villages in Original Work, Five Great Shinobi Villages has never looked at Akatsuki from the beginning to the end. In their eyes, the only important enemies are each other, that is, Tailed Beast was lost one after another, which attracted the attention of Five Kage, but even so, on top of Five Kage Summit, it can be seen from the attitudes of Ōnoki and Ai that they still did not pay attention.
Because they lack the most important information!
The true intention of Obito is not clear.
It was not until Obito himself was exposed on his own initiative that Five Great Shinobi Villages truly united and formed Allied Shinobi Forces.
It's the same in this life.
Let's not say that Fourth Raikage A doesn't believe the 'Obito' intelligence jointly released by Iwagakure and Kirigakure.
So what if it's finally confirmed?
Judging from the result that Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack only destroyed a small part of Konoha, and Fourth Hokage died in battle.
Even if Obito really exists, he is definitely not at the level of Uchiha Madara, so there is no need to be afraid!
The key ones to be wary of are still Konoha, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure who are also Five Great Shinobi Villages!
"Yes, Lord Raikage, I understand!"
Dodai also nodded slightly and said.
"In addition, Mabui, ask Lei Xiao to speed up the progress, and just kill some unscrupulous guys. We Kumogakure don't need to be so timid in doing things. Tell him that I want to see the results before next month. He only has the last month. In addition, tell the logistics department that starting from today, we will prepare supplies and the focus needs to shift to the Western Front. Do you understand!?"
Even if it's a war in the ninja world.
It doesn't mean that it can be opened immediately with a slap on the head. Of course, there is no problem with small-scale collisions, but if it involves a war involving thousands or even tens of thousands of people, it can be prepared in a few days, especially for them Kumogakure. In the past, they had been defending on the western front. The invasion strategy of the southern front, materials, personnel, and some necessary infrastructure were all concentrated on the southern front!
Now that Land of Hot Springs is fully integrated into Land of Lightning, and the most important overall strategic change is coming, the focus of personnel and materials has begun to change in advance.
Don't look at it, it's still early.
Transferring bit by bit is not easy to attract attention. If a large number of people and materials are directly mobilized at once, and large-scale construction is carried out on the Western Front, then unless a group of Iwagakure senior officials are all NT, their Kumogakure intentions will not be noticed.
Although Fourth Raikage A feels that his Ninja Village is already worthy of the name Shinobi World, there are still many places where he should be cautious.
What's more, one of the principles of ninjas is that if they can kill with one hit, they will never take any meaningless and wasteful actions.
"Yes, Lord Raikage!"
At the side, a tall woman also immediately bowed and responded.
Different strength backgrounds will definitely bring about different judgments of the situation. In Rasa's view, things must be treated with the utmost caution, but in Fourth Raikage A's case, it is a different attitude. Caution is necessary, but more of it is out of confidence in one's own strength!
Although he did not say it directly, even if it was confirmed how much Iwagakure and Kirigakure colluded, Fourth Raikage would never waver in his determination to take action against Iwagakure in the future. At most, he would make certain changes based on the situation.
At this point, Dodai, as Raikage and Kumogakure's highest adviser, also knows it very well. Although Dodai is a little worried, It is also 100% certain that Lord Raikage himself has not reached the level of Master Third Raikage, but in essence, this Kumogakure staff member still maintains a relatively optimistic attitude.
One is also the confidence in the strength of his own ninja village.
The other is disdain for the so-called alliance!
You know, in the early days.
Five Great Shinobi Villages li.
Konoha and Sunagakure are a recognized alliance, which was established during First's movie period, but what happens next? Sunagakure and Konoha fought to the death. In the recent war, Battle of Kikyo Pass is the most vivid example!
Sunagakure was the one who actively turned his back on Alliance Treaty and launched the attack.
From that moment on, there is no so-called alliance in Shinobi World. At most, it is collusion of interests, such as Four Great Shinobi Villages in First Shinobi World War at the beginning, and then the recent Iwagakure and Kumogakure, but such a 'union' will definitely break up due to uneven profit sharing. Second Tsuchikage and Second Mizukage died together only in the past thirty or forty years!
Dodai certainly doesn't really think that Iwagakure and Kirigakure will be in alliance.
But this time it was really Fourth Raikage and Dodai that were wrong.
At least Kirigakure really has the idea that they must keep up with Iwagakure in the past few years. Fourth Raikage A and Dodai don't know that Obito's incident has really caused great harm to Kirigakure!
Especially the matter of Mizukage being controlled by someone. Not to mention that Kirigakure is trying his best to conceal it. Even if it is really announced, not many people may believe it. That is the shadow who stands at the top of Shinobi World!
Because of this, Kirigakure ushered in an unprecedented period of weakness. With the destruction of his successor Ninja Clan, the loss of middle and high-level strength, and as Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura's vitality was severely damaged and he could die at any time. Kirigakure had to choose to keep a low profile!
Leaning toward a stronger ally is the best option.
And Iwagakure is the best choice in terms of strength and geographical location!
Anyway, it is Konoha and Kumogakure who are being beaten, Sunagakure, Iwagakure. If he wants to be the boss of Shinobi World, let him do it. Hiding one's strength and biding time is Kirigakure's next only First Shinobi World War strategic policy. This was also decided by Genji and Karatachi Yagura personally after consultation!
A fatal lack of intelligence.
And that can indeed be regarded as an inflated heart.
Let Fourth Raikage and Dodai make a more extreme decision. Of course, it is still difficult to say whether such a decision will be a blessing or a curse in the future.
Because it's not just about themselves.
It also depends on a certain amount of luck.
And the attitude of Konoha, who still technically occupies Shinobi World's number one ninja village!!
This is equally crucial.
