PS: The subscriptions have picked up in the past few days. I am really grateful to all the book lovers for their support. Even if it is to support an initial subscription, I am very grateful. As mentioned before, this book only has the last one-third to one-quarter of the content. I also ask all book friends to support it until the end. I definitely don't dare to hope for a high-quality product. But for the two thousand one hundred or so even subscriptions, I still hope that it can be maintained until the end without falling off. Thank you all!
Although there must be some other details involved.
But after all, this is an issue involving the core strength of his family. Akatsuchi would not be stupid enough to ask. What's more, even if he doesn't believe Shōji, wouldn't he still distrust his own teacher Tsuchikage?
This is the heir selected by Ōnoki himself.
Akatsuchi is one of the quasi-high-level executives of Iwagakure.
But it is clear that as soon as the New Year is over, the appointment of Shōji from Daimyo of the Land of Earth will be heard in the capital.
Afterwards, corresponding ceremonies will be held in the village.
Come celebrate Shōji succeeding Fourth Tsuchikage.
Who do you question? It's impossible to question your own quasi-Lord Fourth Tsuchikage, right? Now I can just call Shōji by his name.
Wait until Shōji takes over.
Even some elders and peers with very close friendships can only call Shōji by his first name in private.
On the bright side.
When facing Shōji, you must call it 'Lord Fourth or Lord Tsuchikage! '
"As for the other monster..."
After Shōji briefly explained the current status of Two-Tails Matatabi, he planned to explain the situation of another monster-Satoru.
"Akatsuchi-san! Shōji-san!!"
Not far away.
Itachi's smaller figure flashed over.
No one has arrived.
The words come first.
There was a hint of seriousness in those words.
It also attracted the attention of the two people.
"What's wrong? Itachi? Did something happen?"
The expressions of Shōji and Akatsuchi also became bright.
"Yes, from the Kusa Ninja named Mui that was just captured, it can be confirmed that the monster was born from the iron box named Box of Paradise, and this Box of Paradise is The person who made a contract with someone, Kusa Ninja named Mui, is the contractor of Box of Paradise, but when I took people into the underground secret room just now, that Box of Paradise disappeared out of thin air!"
Itachi said with a very solemn look on his little face.
The importance of a Noble Phantasm that can give birth to a monster comparable to the strength of Tailed Beast is self-evident. Although Itachi is very young, barely 11 years old, at this stage, he can already use a more mature thinking to look at the current relationship with Shinobi World!
Itachi, who fully agrees with Shōji's "idea of unification", also knows that the stronger his own ninja village is and the weaker other ninja villages are, the easier the next unification First Shinobi World War will be and the sooner peace will come!
A Noble Phantasm like Box of Paradise that can strengthen the power of a ninja village to a great extent can play an extremely important role in war, and it may even far surpass Tailed Beast!
After all, who can really be sure that there is only one such monster in Box of Paradise?
Itachi could realize the seriousness of the problem.
Akatsuchi was naturally able to predict it immediately. Almost at the moment Itachi finished speaking, Akatsuchi's expression became very solemn.
When Kusagakure's own ninja village was destroyed two years ago, he originally learned about the existence of Box of Paradise from the former Kusagakure leader Boro, but that time Box of Paradise disappeared out of thin air, and now it's happening again!
Akatsuchi can already smell an extremely strong dangerous smell.
"Shōji, we..."
Akatsuchi also suddenly turned his head and wanted to say something to Shōji.
However, he saw that Shōji returned to his previous relaxed look, and then waved his hand gently and said, "I am about to talk about this matter, don't worry, Akatsuchi-san, Itachi, that Box of Paradise has already concluded a contract with me, and just wasted some time over there, just because of this matter, that monster is Box of Paradise was born by devouring human emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and then relying on a large amount of Chakra as a support point. This monster is rational. I just did some tests and had a "friendly" chat with it, and then concluded the corresponding Summoning Contract with it, so there is no need to worry about this issue at all!"
Unlike Two-Tails Matatabi, which will indeed die due to too high attack intensity, in principle, as long as Chakra is not exhausted, Satoru is basically immortal. Even the current Shōji cannot really kill Satoru.
Unless one further masters Six Paths Power, only by using the highest level Yin–Yang Release can one kill Suewu!
So Wu is really the best experimental subject for Shōji in every sense at this stage. In the past two or three hours, Shōji really conducted experiments on all levels with Wu. At the beginning, Shōji had no intention of entering into a contract with Box of Paradise.
Firstly, Shōji really does not necessarily need to drive Satoru to fight.
Secondly, Shōji thought that Summoning Contract of Box of Paradise was just like a psychic beast, with unique attributes.
I have already concluded Summoning Contract with the Ninja Cat Clan, so naturally it is impossible to conclude Summoning Contract with other creatures.
Later, it was after Satoru couldn't stand the inhuman torture of Shōji.
He took the initiative to say that he could sign a contract with Shōji. As long as Shōji fixedly delivered Chakra to Box of Paradise, he could fight for Shōji.
Shōji This is when he realized that Box of Paradise is different from ordinary psychic ninja beasts and is unrestricted.
You can also make a contract with Box of Paradise.
Considering that Satoru's thing is indeed not inferior to Tailed Beast in strength, and the most important thing is that he has Dragon Vein in his body as energy support, he can barely meet the qualifications of opening and supplying Box of Paradise.
Shōji agreed to the request of this 'Enlightenment'.
and Box of Paradise concluded Summoning Contract.
And unlike Summoning Contract, which is Mui, Shōji can almost be regarded as half the owner of Box of Paradise.
Although at present it is purely through brute force.
But it can indeed be said that it has the command authority of 'Box of Paradise'. For the specific relationship, please refer to the relationship between Orochimaru and Manda.
Because of this, Shōji also further learned some secret information about Box of Paradise. For example, there is not only one 'Satoru' in Box of Paradise, and for example, there are still varying degrees of strength gaps between Wu and Wu, etc.!
The most important point is that at the same time, Box of Paradise can only release one 'Enlightenment'!
Akatsuchi and Itachi who were sitting nearby were also stunned when they heard Shōji's words. At the same time, they looked at Shōji with a slightly weird look.
They really didn't expect that their quasi-Fourth Tsuchikage would have already contracted with Box of Paradise in advance.
But this is indeed a good thing. Akatsuchi and Itachi's previously worried hearts were completely relaxed at this moment.
The biggest problems Two-Tails and Box of Paradise have been solved.
Then the rest are just minor issues.
From the captured Dodai, Itachi also obtained some of the most critical information in advance through his own Sharingan.
What Iwagakure is most concerned about is whether Kumo Ninja will make any big moves, but it turns out that this is just a tentative attack. Although all of this special operations team are elites in Kumogakure, and a considerable number of personnel are drawn from Anbu, Kumogakure does have no traces of large-scale troop operations.
The operations on the Eastern Front were just decoys.
Confirm this information.
And the most important time when all follow-up reinforcements arrive.
Akatsuchi is also really relaxing.
Shōji felt a little bit regretful. He really hoped that Kumogakure could start a direct war. Since the preparations started three years ago, although there was a small collision in the middle, it did not affect their Iwagakure preparations.
Nowadays, the strength of our Ninja Village in all aspects has far exceeded that of the previous peak period. It is time to take the first step to dominate Shinobi World, but it is best for someone else to start this first shot!
In the initial case of 'dungeon difficulty', the lowest mode can be selected.
Shōji doesn't want the difficulty to rise straight up.
What's more, there is still the problem of Akatsuki led by Obito and Nagato. Shōji doesn't want to see his own ninja village really fighting against the whole world. It can be blasted at fixed points. It is best to deal with them one by one!
Once Kumogakure is the first one to initiate a war, and Iwagakure is passive in fighting, Konoha or Sunagakure will definitely be hesitant on whether to participate in the war, especially the former. It is almost 99% certain that Third Hokage will not get involved!
The remaining one percent possibility is that Sarutobi Hiruzen died suddenly and was replaced by Hokage!
Therefore, after learning that Kumogakure's side did not really intend to start a full-scale war at the beginning.
Shōji It's really a pity.
But it was only for a moment.
Because of the failure of this special operation, especially Dodai, Two-Tailed Jinchuriki Yugito, and Darui, the young man who was obviously the most valued by Fourth Raikage in the next generation of Kumo Ninja, all fell one after another, and none of them escaped.
I'm afraid this Fourth Raikage really can't sit still!
'I hope you will be more upbeat this time, Fourth Raikage! '
Shōji raised his eyes and looked towards the direction of Kumogakure in the hinterland of Land of Lightning in the northeast, with a faint cold look in his pupils.
A war that is no longer small in scale!
It is already very easy to attract the attention of the entire Shinobi World, let alone Iwagakure and Kumogakure, which are now the two most popular shinobi villages in Shinobi World, almost on the second day after the battle came to an end.
This news spread quickly throughout Shinobi World from near to far.
Of course, Iwagakure also contributes to this.
A hearty victory not only shattered Kusa Ninja's ambition to regain their own Ninja Village, but most importantly, it also captured Two-Tailed Jinchuriki of Kumogakure. This is definitely a victory worthy of a special book!
Shōji also intends to use this method to further stimulate the nerves of Kumogakure, Fourth Raikage, and try to force that Fourth Raikage to take the initiative to attack again. It can be said that such a possibility is very high!
Refer to the character of Raikage in the past.
And now the most important Raikage staff officer - Dodai has fallen into their Iwagakure hands.
That Fourth Raikage couldn't help but be angry, and the possibility of starting a war was as high as 70%!
This way.
They Iwagakure can just sit back and wait for work.
This is the judgment Shōji made after asking for instructions from his Third Tsuchikage and getting permission.
It can be said that when this news was passed on.
The entire Shinobi World was in an uproar.
Although there have been frequent frictions between Kumogakure and Iwagakure in the past six months, and in some small countries close to each other, collisions between small-scale troops often occur. Countries above Shinobi World also expect that a large-scale war will definitely break out between the two ninja villages in the future.
Shinobi World's past history all proves this point.
But this conflict was too quick and special.
You must know that the recent local wars between Kumo Ninja and Konoha lasted for two or three years, and finally the most intense head-on conflict broke out, but this time the friction between Iwagakure and Kumogakure only lasted about half a year!
The most important thing is the fall of Two-Tails!
This is something that all the major ninja villages, including Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure, who are far away from the sea and were the last to receive the news, find it difficult to believe.
You know, in past wars.
There has never been any major ninja village where Tailed Beast fell to the enemy.
As the most important 'nuclear deterrence' force in Five Great Shinobi Villages!
The importance of Tailed Beast is self-evident!
But it was such a force that fell so easily.
It has to be said that it has indeed refreshed the understanding of the ninja villages of Shinobi World countries, and it does not only include the news proactively released by Two-Tailed Jinchuriki, Iwagakure, and also includes Dodai, the exclusive adviser of Raikage who is named among the top leaders of the ninja villages in various countries, and more than two hundred elite Kumo Ninja!
This series of information that was completely disclosed also dealt a huge blow to the face of Kumogakure.
As the closest national ninja village to the battlefield.
Land of Wind and Sunagakure were also the first great country ninja village to receive the news.
"What did you say!?"
It can be said that when Anbu, who was in charge of reconnaissance intelligence at the border, immediately passed the intelligence back to his own Ninja Village.
That Fourth Kazekage—Rasa's expression suddenly changed again, and there was also a hint of disbelief in the depths of his pupils.
"Are you sure? Baki!?"
Rasa suddenly stood up from his seat, stared at Baki in front of him, and asked in a deep voice with a very serious look.
"Yes, Lord Kazekage, this is the information after repeated confirmation by Anbu. Two-Tails has indeed fallen into the hands of Iwagakure, and the person who took action is the contemporary Shura of Uchiha - Uchiha Shōji!"
Baki also nodded with a stern expression, met his Lord Kazekage's eyes, and responded Responded.
"And there seemed to be another monster that was not weaker than Two-Tails, but it was suppressed by Uchiha Shōji alone!"
Baki After hesitating for a moment, he continued to say these words.
Box of Paradise and Satoru's information.
Iwagakure's side has not announced it to the outside world.
But such a massive collision.
Moreover, the figure of Wu and Two-Tails has caught the eyes of most people in Kusagakure. Even if investigators from various countries cannot collect more accurate and detailed information, this information can still be determined.
After all, it must be said at the moment when this news is received.
Baki couldn't believe his eyes and ears.
How strong is Tailed Beast.
Baki is not unclear.
The One-Tail in my Ninja Village had already rioted several times during the reign of Lord Fourth Kazekage, and every time Lord Kazekage had to go through a lot of hard work to suppress it.
But this point is enough to illustrate the power of our own Lord Kazekage.
Tailed Beast is not something that everyone can handle.
But now, the young man who once defeated his own Lord Kazekage in a head-on confrontation can now defeat Two-Tails and another monster comparable to Tailed Beast by himself!
No matter how you look at this news, it feels like an illusion!
"!?"
Rasa The moment he heard the news, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a very dangerous cold light emerged from the depths of his eyes.
"Hiss... Huh..."
Then he took a deep breath.
Then he slowly exhaled a breath.
Rasa to calm down your emotions.
"Pay close attention to the next Shinobi World movement, especially Kumogakure. That Fourth Raikage will definitely take corresponding actions, even if you don't mention that Dodai The loss of Mr. E and more than two hundred Kumo Ninja, the fall of Two-Tailed Jinchuriki alone, it is impossible for this Fourth Raikage to stand still!"
Rasa looked at Baki and said.
"In addition, we should immediately send a special person to Konohagakure to tell that Third Hokage that we, Sunagakure, agreed to the conditions in the previous negotiation!"
Then there was a trace of hesitation on his face, and finally it was replaced by a trace of determination. After taking a deep breath again, he said this with a very decisive tone.
Everything was normal before.
But when I heard the last half sentence of my own Lord Kazekage.
Baki's expressions changed. "Lord Kazekage, this?"
Baki was about to say something. When he saw Rasa's stern face, he finally swallowed the words that came to his lips. This Sunagakure was the most powerful one. The strong Jōnin also straightened his body, then suddenly bowed his head and saluted, and responded to Responded in the deepest tone, "Yes, Lord Kazekage, I obey your orders!"
The increasingly powerful Iwagakure.
This is infinitely close to the posture of Konoha in its strongest period.
Rasa had to adjust his mentality and plan again. Above Shinobi World, strength was the most important thing. As his own ninja village continued to weaken and the enemy side continued to grow stronger, Rasa had to take action to 'know the current affairs'.
And obviously judging from the current situation of Shinobi World.
There is not much room left for Rasa to make a choice. Konoha can almost be said to be their only choice Sunagakure.
Yes.
In such a situation.
Even though Rasa was very reluctant, he could only make such a judgment. Baki could clearly see this and did not say any objection in the end. After all, this was the best choice they Sunagakure could make in the rest of their lives.
Compared with Sunagakure and Rasa, it is not very wonderful and forced to make judgments against one's own will.
Kirigakure.
Terumi Mei and Genji look very bachelor there.
Because they had a good attitude from the beginning.
Therefore, when the corresponding news comes.
Although Terumi Mei and Genji lamented the power of Uchiha Shōji, they did not have many other emotional reactions.
Especially for Genji, an old man who has experienced Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju, the duo of Konoha, overwhelming the entire Shinobi World.
This scene is just a re-enactment.
It's amazing that they Kirigakure are just the same as before, staying low and small, and settling down for ten or twenty years.
A little impatience will mess up a big plan.
From the perspective of Genji, this is not an unacceptable situation at all, and Terumi Mei does not mention Genji's guidance, even though he does have his own ambition, but in essence, Terumi Mei's biggest wish is to make the development of Kirigakure better and better, abolish the previous Bloody Mist Policy, and let Kirigakure develop on the right track and become more harmonious, stable and peaceful.
Something like Shinobi World Hegemony.
The best thing is to get it. If there is really no chance, Terumi Mei is not the kind of person who will force it.
At this point.
There is still a big difference between Terumi Mei and other movies.
Especially compared to Rasa.
Terumi Mei knows how to see clearly the position of himself and his ninja village, and will not make overheated or dizzy judgments easily.
Moreover, it was decided to be on good terms with Iwagakure. As long as it did not involve the core interests of the village, only Iwagakure would follow the lead. This policy was made by the previous generation Mizukage Karatachi Yagura and Genji!
Terumi Mei has no reason to overturn it.
So when the news comes.
Terumi Mei paid a routine visit to Genji. After a short stay, he found out what Kirigakure was like before and what it will be like after.
Anyway, in one sentence, at this stage, Kirigakure should try not to participate in Shinobi World affairs. The most important thing is to steadily recover and develop steadily.
This is their next big policy for Kirigakure.
This is not only due to the rationality of the two senior executives Terumi Mei and Genji, but also because Kirigakure has a unique natural geographical advantage!
Kirigakure can do this.
Sunagakure adjacent to Iwagakure will not work.
This is probably also Rasa's helplessness.
And it is even more impossible for Konohagakure, which is located in the most prosperous and central core area of the mainland, to be alone!
As I said before, war breaks out no matter where in Shinobi World.
Regardless of whether Konoha is willing or unwilling, Konohagakure will be involved to a certain extent. This is the result determined by the geographical location.
This time the conflict between Yun, Cao and Yan villages that broke out in the original Land of Grass area inevitably affected Konohagakure again!
You must know that in the joint army that launched the previous attack, the number of Kusa Ninja far exceeded that of the Kumo Ninja side, and in the battle, the Iwagakure Ninja side also focused more on encircling and suppressing Kumo Ninja, which actually allowed quite a few Kusa Ninja to escape.
Their best escape route is naturally Land of Fire, and there must be a pursuit force of Iwagakure Ninja behind it.
Arguably, the moment specific news is received.
This Third Hokage frowned again.
