"Obito, what should we do now?" Black Zetsu from Akatsuki headquarters asked in a deep voice.
But Obito couldn't think of a way for the moment, "It seems that now we can only continue to hibernate. We don't have any power to compete with Holy Church." Obito suppressed the irritability in his heart and said calmly.
"Yes!" Black Zetsu nodded silently. He could only wait for the opportunity. He, who had been dormant for thousands of years, did not believe that Holy Church would really not have any problems at all.
After experiencing the coronation ceremony, Turkey and Lei also began to apply to Holy Church to become affiliated organizations. At this moment, they had no choice. Facing Holy Church, the train of the times, it was better to get on the train early and enjoy the dividends of the times than to be completely abandoned by the times and become the dust of history.
Shinobi World, which has been turbulent for thousands of years, has begun to fall into peace in the true sense because of Holy Church, a strong and just force. Although Holy Church's sphere of influence has not expanded to Land of Water, unintentionally all the big Shinobi Village believe that it is only a matter of time.
Besides, if Land of Water really wants to cause trouble, it will only give Holy Church an excuse to develop openly and openly towards Land of Water.
However, Land of Water, who is closed to the outside world, is not ignorant of the outside world.
Among Kirigakure, Mei Terumi, along with Qing and other Ninja who are dissatisfied with Fourth Mizukage Blood Mist Policy, are having a meeting in a secret base.
"You guys tell us what we, Kage Village, should do, should we ask Holy Church for intervention?"
Mei Terumi looked at the silent crowd and put forward his own opinion.
"But in this case, we Village will become accessories." Qing put forward a situation that many Ninja don't want to see at the moment.
"I know what everyone is worried about? But at Shinobi World, at a glance, you said that apart from Land of Water, there is nowhere else that has not become Holy Church's sphere of influence." Mei Terumi put the bloody reality in front of everyone.
For a moment, all Ninja present were speechless.
"Are you talking about earth, wind, thunder, and fire? Shinobi Village from these countries are all crazy! It's not right for them to be independent individuals. They have to be affiliated with a church organization that believes in gods!" Ninja from the Hozuki Clan said in confusion.
"Do you think the shadows from all over the world are fools?" Mei Terumi glanced at Hozuki's Ninja lightly.
"What we are facing now is isolation and helplessness, and the closed-door policy has made us almost blind to the outside world." Mei Terumi said thoughtfully, "We have to find a way to break all this and understand the changes outside."
"But this requires someone to become Rogue Ninja!" Chojuro said with a frown.
"Genji, what do you think?" Mei Terumi asked, looking at the elderly Genji who had been sitting silently.
"Well, we don't know much about the situation in the outside world now. Bloody Mist Village of Fourth has caused great harm to Village. It's really time for us to have to change." After saying this, Genji looked at Hozuki Mangetsu of the Hozuki Clan.
"Man Yue, why don't you go ahead! Your Hydrification Technique can better obtain Intelligence."
"Yes! Genji!" Hozuki Mangetsu agreed without hesitation.
"The current era is almost based on unification. It is difficult to make any changes with the power of our Land of Water. If it is not too harmful to the interests of Village, we should also get on this train as soon as possible! Otherwise, we will really be left far behind!" Genji sighed in its old voice.
The situation in Shinobi World has changed so much that he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong just from the general Intelligence reasoning. He can only hope that Hozuki Mangetsu will bring specific Intelligence. Moreover, based on his many years of experience, the shadows of various countries are definitely not fools. Either the general trend is irresistible, or they are satisfied with Village's good deeds.
The next day, Hozuki Mangetsu glanced at Village and then disappeared silently into the heavy fog of Kirigakure.
Fourth, who was controlled at the same time, also received news of the defection of Elite Jonin Hozuki Mangetsu of the Hozuki Clan.
"Obito What do you think these guys are going to do?" Black Zetsu asked in confusion.
"You don't even know what they are going to do!" Obito looked curiously at this guy who single-handedly supported Akatsuki Intelligence.
"Recently, my clones have all been looking for opportunities among other big Shinobi Villages, and I haven't paid much attention to the rats of Kirigakure." Black Zetsu replied calmly.
"Is there any action that requires them to arrange for Ninja to rebel against the village?" Stone shinobi couldn't help but think deeply.
"You said they don't want Holy Church to intervene!" Black Zetsu suddenly thought of something and reminded.
"Damn, these rats deserve to die. Black Zetsu immediately find a way to find that Rogue Ninja and kill him. If Holy Church really enters Kirigakure, then we really have to hide underground like rats." Obito said, suppressing the killing in his heart.
"Yes!" Black Zetsu nodded, slowly sank into the ground, and began to arrange his clones to search.
Hozuki Mangetsu rushed all the way, passing through various small countries near Land of Water, and finally successfully entered the territory of Land of Fire.
As soon as we entered Land of Fire, Hozuki Mangetsu, we clearly felt that these cities were starting to look different.
In the past, Samurai was prevalent no matter which country it was, but no matter which Land of Fire city you go to now, you can no longer see Samurai with a knife, and ordinary people in Land of Fire are obviously much better off than ordinary people in Land of Water. Although they cannot be said to be rich, at least they show a difference in their mental outlook.
Land of Water Most of the ordinary people in the city have dead fish eyes and are dull. They live one day at a time and are cautious when walking on the road for fear of any accidents. However, the people in Land of Fire are walking on the street talking and laughing, not afraid of bumping into Nobles who suddenly appears. The children are also playing and playing in the street happily.
"I really don't know how these changes started!" Hozuki Mangetsu began to investigate carefully and casually entered a bar.
"Lady Tsunade, don't be like this!" Shizune tried to persuade him while watching Tsunade drinking glass after glass of wine.
"I want to bet, the abominable Holy Church will give me back my gambling hall!" Tsunade shouted irritably. Since Holy Church arrived at Land of Fire, almost all gambling halls in big and small cities have been severely hit, so that Tsunade, who likes gambling, can no longer feel the pleasure of losing money lavishly.
"Lady Tsunade, Holy Church What's wrong with closing those gambling halls? Those people who were already poor but still used money from their families to gamble, ended up with their families and families destroyed. It's not like you haven't seen how miserable it is." Shizune retorted from the side.
Tsunade, who was drinking heavily, suddenly became speechless. When Holy Church cracked down on the casinos, he revealed the shady story of all the casinos.
Gambling money for the poor, and then winning it back by using pranksters, and then forcing the poor to sell their property, and even the pretty wives and daughters at home were sent to brothels, living an inhuman life. The most pitiful ones were those young and ignorant children who were thrown into the streets at a young age and lived a lonely and helpless life.
When Tsunade saw all this, she had the urge to quit gambling, but how could she change the habit she had developed since childhood?
"That's it! Let's go back to Konoha. I'm going to gamble with that guy Jiraiya for three days and three nights. I don't believe that Holy Church still has to take care of it. By the way, I'll go back and see that old thing." Tsunade slapped the table angrily.
"Lady Tsunade, you are finally going back to Konoha!" Shizune said excitedly.
"Well! We can't take it outside!" Tsunade nodded helplessly.
Hozuki Mangetsu drank wine silently and listened to the chat between Shizune and Tsunade, "Holy Church! It seems very powerful! Even Tsunade, one of the Sannins, dare not violate the laws it enacted."
Watching Tsunade take Shizune to leave, Hozuki Mangetsu followed silently behind him, and as he walked out of the city, he arrived at a wide Plain.
"Come out! Sneaky guy." Tsunade aimed his fist in a certain direction. The ground instantly opened with dense cracks, and flying rocks flew everywhere.
Hozuki Mangetsu, his eyes narrowed and he quickly moved out of the attack range, "I think Lady Tsunade has misunderstood. I am not here to fight, but like you, I want to Konoha to meet Hokage."
"Land of Water, Hozuki Clan." Tsunade stopped attacking and looked at the Hozuki Clan with interest, "Oh, you, Land of Water's Ninja, are looking for Land of Fire's shadow. What's the matter?"
"This is Village's secret. My current identity cannot explain the reason for you. I will only tell you when I see Hokage understand the truth." Hozuki Mangetsu said helplessly, after all, he is now Rogue Ninja.
"Since you don't want to say anything, just get away and don't come near us." Tsunade said rudely.
Hozuki Mangetsu was silent for a while. He estimated the strength of both sides and could only nod silently.
Watching Tsunade go away, he could only fall far behind.
