Say It! Kumogakure Is a Pig! / The Heroine Who Can Spend the Night at a Casino

The Uchiha Shingen tracked him down here proves that this matter has brought trouble to Amegakure.

He's not some scapegoat.

Nagato can bear hatred, he can bear the dreams of others, but he will not take the blame.

"It's Cloud Ninja," he said crisply.

"Identity, name." Uchiha Shingen was even more straightforward than him.

Knowing all this, I can go back to Leaf Village and cause trouble for them.

The alliance between the Cloud Ninja and the Sand Ninja against the Rock Ninja is beneficial to Leaf Village and also to the Uchiha Clan.

But attacking Konoha Ninja is another matter entirely, regardless of whether they were truly Cloud Ninja.

If they kill the ANBU today, will they kill the Uchiha Clan tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow gouge out their eyes?

Cloud Ninja a group of people in the Yunren sect) won't take the blame, then they'll have to find out.

If they can't dig it out, then they'll pay with their lives.

"His identity is unknown. All that is known is that he entered the Land of Rivers from the Land of Wind, and after his assassination attempt failed, he obtained permission through official documents from the Kumogakure and passed through the Rain Village."

"I need that document."

"Okay." Nagato nodded. "You'll receive it when you leave."

"Thank you." Uchiha Shingen nodded and was about to get up.

"Shingen, there's no need to rush," Nagato said. "The documents are on me."

He took a scroll out of his robe and placed it on the table, but did not let go of it.

"Let me make this clear first, I'm not the Hokage, and I can't make decisions for Leaf Village." Uchiha Shingen sat down again.

Nagato is currently in a phase of "being content with the status quo," Uchiha Shingen hopes he will continue like this.

The basis for this continuation is that the structure of the Ninja World remains unchanged, and the Akatsuki cannot obtain new Five Kage- level missing-nin to replenish its ranks.

Nagato is very strong, extremely strong.

However, his strength doesn't mean he's invincible. The idea of him going to Leaf Village and unleashing his ultimate attack, like in the original timeline, is impossible in this timeline.

In this timeline, Leaf Village truly deserves its title as the strongest ninja village.

"You can, Rain Village is willing to be on good terms with Leaf Village, but the foundation is there, and this has been agreed upon by everyone," Nagato said. "Now that war has broken out, I want to know Leaf Village's position."

"Nagato, that's a bit of a cheat. You can't just ask about Leaf Village without stating your own stance, can you?"

"Rain Village will generally follow Leaf Village, Akatsuki will accept Iwagakure's hires, but their missions will be limited to the Land of Stone."

Uchiha Shingen considered it in his mind and roughly understood Nagato's thoughts. They did not conflict with Hidden Leaf Village's demands; on the contrary, they were quite compatible.

So he also gave Nagato a heads-up.

"Sand Village and Iwagakure are both allies of Leaf Village, so interference is out of the question. However, we will mediate. As for the timing, that depends on Sand Village and Iwagakure themselves."

Nagato released his grip and pushed the scroll toward Uchiha Shingen.

"This is a document, and the document is genuine, but the person may not be. You must determine this for yourselves."

Chapter Twenty says! Cloud Village is a pig!

Uchiha Shingen picked up the document and opened it to take a look.

This document is indeed authentic.

However, its level is average; it's just the kind of pass document commonly found in various ninja villages.

These don't even require the village chief's personal signature.

In Hidden Leaf Village, the administrative department can issue such documents themselves, and these documents will not contain any information about the ninja's mission or identity.

It was only used to prove that these were ninjas from their own village.

But for Leaf Village, that's enough.

While it might be a bit disrespectful to the sacrificed Anbu Ninja, whether or not the real culprit is caught is really not important.

However, someone will definitely pay for their lives.

After carefully putting away the documents, Uchiha Shingen took his leave.

Once he left the Rain Village, he immediately used the Flying Thunder God.

What would normally take two days was completed in less than half a day.

When he returned to Hidden Leaf Village, the sun was shining brightly. As he appeared in front of the Hokage Building, the delegations from the four countries were just filing out of the main entrance.

Everyone saw Uchiha Shingen with a stern face.

At this point, the relative closeness or distance between the four villages and Leaf Village becomes apparent.

The Cloud Village Delegation immediately took a step back.

The leader of the Hidden Mist Village delegation was Ao, who greeted Uchiha Shingen with a broad smile.

"Lord Shingen, I've been here for several days, why haven't I seen you?"

"I went out to take care of some errands." Uchiha Shingen, seeing an acquaintance, stopped putting on a stern face and smiled. "How have you been these past few days, buddy? How about a few drinks tonight?"

"No, no, I need to focus on my work first." Qing was a little tempted, but she convinced herself otherwise. "Lord Shingen, will you participate in the upcoming negotiations?"

"It depends on what the Lord Hokage thinks, but I still prefer going on missions; they're less tiring."

The two started chatting, which put the delegations from the other three countries in a difficult position, unsure whether to leave or stay.

If they were to leave, Uchiha Shingen's position as a blocker was perfect; he was right at the doorway.

However, the current White Ghost of Leaf Village is too infamous, and those present felt they lacked the necessary prestige. They only hoped that he wouldn't notice them, and dared not attempt to break through his defenses.

Aren't you leaving?

I can't exactly go back inside and tell the Hokage, "I'm thirsty, could I have some more tea?"

The Third of Leaf Village was so happy that he ordered a bucket of tea to be brought over and then chatted with them all night long. This old man was still talking non-stop just now.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen Hokage, he was quite popular because he was reasonable.

Now that he's no longer Hokage, everyone gets a headache just looking at him, all because he's reasonable.

Now everyone really thinks that Shimura Danzō is nothing compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Meanwhile, Ao and Uchiha Shingen had already started talking about children.

When this topic came up, Uchiha Shingen was not only not sleepy, he became particularly alert.

Black Zetsu once said that Uchiha Shingen would never have the chance to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan in his lifetime, and that statement was half true.

Susanoo fully activated, the Mangekyo Sharingan is still missing.

But now, he also possesses his own eye technique, a technique that has never appeared in the history of the Sharingan, and according to common sense, it cannot become a Sharingan eye technique.

On the night his daughter Uchiha Yuki, was born, her cries deeply moved Uchiha Shingen.

The impact was far greater than he had anticipated.

Before this, he was both extremely anxious and confused.

Everything unfolded so naturally, from marriage to becoming a father.

For months on end, he imagined countless times what his child would be like.

So, he can have children too?

He's become accustomed to killing; killing is as instinctive as eating and drinking. Can someone like that be a good father?

At that moment, he was lost, but holding his crying daughter, he suddenly felt that his existence and value had changed.

The arrival of his daughter brought a new rhythm to his life. His life suddenly had a purpose. He never tired of looking at his daughter sleeping and never tired of hearing her cries.

When his daughter gave him her first sweet smile, his hardened heart, honed over two cycles, melted away.

That night, he sat by his daughter's crib, watching her sleeping face, and stayed up all night.

That night, he gained his own Dōjutsu.

His eyes were still the same, but within those Sharingan, his unique Chakra circuits had formed.

This is a technique that requires a large amount of Chakra to use, and even for Uchiha Shingen in his current state, it would feel like a burden.

Unless he uses the Two-Tails 'Chakra.

When my son was born, although it didn't feel as cleansing as when my daughter was born, the sincerity, intensity, busyness, and longing I felt were the same.

When he seized a portion of the Eight-Tails 'Chakra, he didn't kill all the Cloud Ninja present because he was in a very good mood at the time.

Even the repulsive-looking Cloud Ninja suddenly became handsome.

But that was before. Now, I'd still slap him across the face and flatten him into a pancake.

"Shingen, what are you doing?" Uchiha Shingen, who was chatting happily with Ao, suddenly heard Namikaze Minato's voice.

Uchiha Shingen saw Namikaze Minato walk out from the crowd.

Behind him Sarutobi Hiruzen, who looked utterly satisfied.

Uchiha Shingen didn't bother asking what Sarutobi Hiruzen had enjoyed, since there were a bunch of smirks around who could guess.

"Lord Hokage, I have not failed you." He took out the document and presented it to the two Hokage. "Upon investigation, the culprit who attacked the village is connected to Kumogakure."

"What?"

"Impossible!"

Exclamations arose from the delegation.

The envoy from Kumogakure didn't even bother to put on a serious face.

What a joke! At a time like this, how could the village possibly attack Leaf Village's ninjas?

"Shingen, this must be a misunderstanding," he hurriedly explained. "This doesn't make sense!"

"When has your village ever been reasonable? Don't worry, we won't kill the messenger." Uchiha Shingen glanced at him. "The document is yours, I've verified it, it's genuine."

Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen both had solemn expressions.

However, he did not make any hasty judgments.

Namikaze Minato took the document from Uchiha Shingen, examined it carefully, and then turned to study it with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Indeed... it's a document from Kumogakure." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. "Gentlemen of Cloud Village, I cannot definitively say that this was done by Kumogakure, but I'm afraid Kumogakure will have to cooperate with Leaf Village in conducting an investigation."

"Absolutely! We will never let this villain get away with this!" The envoy from Kumogakure nearly had a heart attack. He had a feeling that the Leaf White Ghost Leaf Village about to kill him at any moment; his gaze was terrifying. "Lord Hokage, please give us time. We will definitely get to the bottom of this!"

"You can make a copy," Uchiha Shingen said. "It has your issuance number on it; you can check it yourselves."

"Shingen, please rest assured, I will contact the village immediately!" The envoy from Kumogakure was overjoyed to see that Uchiha Shingen's tone seemed to have softened. "We are willing to form a joint investigation team with Leaf Village to investigate together."

Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen exchanged a glance.

"Your Excellency need not be alarmed. We also believe that someone is interfering." Namikaze Minato changed his expression. "A joint investigation is unnecessary. We believe in your village's sincerity. However, until the results are in, the negotiations will probably have to be put on hold for the time being, after all..."

The current Hokage of Hidden Leaf Village was speaking in an excessively gentle tone.

Negotiations must be based on mutual trust...

Seeing the Cloud Village envoy nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, the Sand Village envoy really wanted to throw a Wind Release at the head of this temporary ally.

What kind of incompetent teammate is this? Why pull something like this at a time like this?

What else can we say? Let's keep fighting! We must gain the upper hand on the battlefield before the next round of negotiations!

Chapter Twenty-One: A Heroine Who Could Spend the Night in a Casino

With peace negotiations among the five major villages temporarily suspended, the flames of war raged even more fiercely in the northern border region between the Land of Stone and the Land of Iron.

To be fair, when the negotiations were still ongoing, the ninjas from the three villages weren't exactly polite either.

Both Sand Village and Cloud Village intensified their attacks.

And Iwagakure proved with its actions that having many people is useful.

If you not only have a large number of people but also ample financial resources, then fighting two opponents at once is not out of the question.
