This shows that Three Great Sage Lands's space transmission has a screening mechanism for "non-contractors".
Then if you send a clone to practice Sage Mode, the clone must enter the Holy Land as an independent individual and cannot sneak away by attaching itself to the main body.
This is not a big problem.
Jiraiya has established a good relationship there, and Mount Myōboku can enter at any time. Before Sage Fukasaku left, he said, "Come and sit here often when I have nothing to do." Although this was polite, it at least showed that Mount Myōboku did not reject him.
He sent a clone over and said he was here to practice. With Jiraiya's reputation and Senju Clan's reputation, Mount Myōboku had no reason to refuse.
The second thing--Shikkotsu Forest.
You have to find sister Tsunade for this.
Although his sister won't let him practice Slug Senjutsu, he can "visit" the head office, right?
Senju Chen The pen tip paused on the paper.
No, with Tsunade's character, she knew what she was planning as soon as she heard the excuse of "visiting".
You have to put it another way.
As for Ryūchi Cave, this is placed after Shikkotsu Forest.
The Cursed Seal given by teacher Orochimaru is still in his pocket. Ryūchi Cave's cultivation method is the most dangerous, but also has the greatest benefits. White Snake Sage's snake blood can directly transform the body, which may also be an excellent opportunity to strengthen his War God Body.
However, there is no existing relationship with Ryūchi Cave that can be used. Although Orochimaru has been there, his relationship with White Snake Sage is not good - after all, he is a person who failed in cultivation and was "let go", so he has no face to speak of.
Finally, it's time to practice Sage Body. Don't worry about this. We'll talk about it after walking around Three Great Sage Lands first.
Senju Chen wrote and drew on the paper for a long time, and finally folded the paper and stuffed it into the drawer.
The broad framework of the plan is in place, and the details will be added later.
Land of Water Southeast coast, Old Port's pier.
It's still dark, and the fog is so thick it can hold water.
Obito squatted on the roof of the dock warehouse, resting his elbows on his knees, motionless. He had remained in this position for more than an hour.
During this period, he visited nineteen strongholds of various sizes around Kirigakure.
Teahouses, gambling houses, a settlement for retired ninjas, and several grocery stores near the old site of the Ninja Academy. He used seven different faces and chatted with more than forty people.
There is only one conclusion--
Kirisame Ryo This person is as clean as a piece of white paper.
No, it is cleaner than white paper. White paper at least has fibers and textures that can be traced back to its place of origin. And the past of Kirisame Ryo is like someone erasing all the traces with an eraser, and then redrawing a perfect resume and pasting it on.
"Are you going in the wrong direction again..." Obito stood up and moved his numb legs.
Black Zetsu Half of a head popped out from the crack in the wooden board under his feet.
"Ninja Academy's classmates in the 37th period, a total of eleven people can be found."
"Nine of them are still alive."
"Out of the nine people, six had the impression of Kirisame Ryo as 'there is such a person, he doesn't like to talk much, and his grades are average'. Two of them don't remember him at all. Another one said that he borrowed notes from him and his handwriting was very ugly."
"Their memories are highly consistent, but not exactly the same." Black Zetsu's tone became subtle, "It's like... such a person really existed. But the way this person existed was to make everyone feel that he had no sense of existence."
"Either this kind of person is really a loser."
"Either he has been deliberately hiding himself from the beginning."
Obito Put your hands in your pockets.
Twenty years.
A man lurked in Kirigakure for twenty years, and then turned around overnight and uprooted the Land of Water that he worked so hard for.
This kind of patience, this kind of government, this kind of execution ability--
Obito It's not like I haven't seen it before.
That's what he did himself.
He knows better than anyone what it takes to maintain a false identity.
Watertight archives are needed.
Just the right amount of social traces are needed - not too many, not too few.
You need to make people around you remember you without becoming curious about you.
Kirisame Ryo did it.
And he did it better than him.
This makes Obito very uncomfortable.
"Let's go." Obito said.
"Where to go?"
"Old Port."
"Old Port?"
"After Kirisame Ryo became Mizukage, the first port to be reopened was Old Port." Obito jumped off the roof and landed on the ground Shi's body swayed, and he had changed into the face of a middle-aged businessman, "A person who has been hiding in High Tower for twenty years, the first thing he does when he takes office is not to cleanse political enemies or expand armaments, but to open ports and engage in trade."
"What does this mean?"
"It shows that he is not short of soldiers, people, or even money." Obito paused, "What he lacks is a legal channel to connect Land of Water to the entire Shinobi World economic network."
"You think he's playing a big game."
"I think he is building a system." Obito's voice was very low, "A system that can control Land of Water without force."
At this time, there were already people busy on the dock. Porters were carrying boxes back and forth, and several medium-sized cargo ships were parked at the berths, with blue marks Land of Water painted on the hulls.
At this moment, a whistle sounded from outside the pier.
A medium-sized passenger ship is docking.
The ship's draft is very deep, indicating that it is carrying a lot of people. The flag of Kirigakure is hung on the bow, and there is a small pennant pinned next to it - that is the mark of a diplomatic ship.
Obito's departure slowed down.
This ship is coming back from Land of Rain.
He knew two days ago that Kirigakure sent a diplomatic mission to Land of Rain. This is normal. Hanzo of the Salamander is dead, and Five Great Shinobi Villages is inserting eyes into Land of Rain. It would be strange if Kirigakure did not move.
The ship's plank is put on the pier.
The first person to come down was a tall woman in a blue robe.
Obito recognizes her. Mei Terumi. Kirigakure High Tower Operations Department's current supervisor, Kirisame Ryo's direct subordinate.
Obito's eyes passed over Mei Terumi.
He doesn't care about this woman.
Just when Obito was about to turn around and leave, he saw the second person coming down behind Mei Terumi.
The man was walking half a step behind Mei Terumi. He was not tall and wore the standard black high-collar uniform of a Kirigakure diplomat, with a silver badge pinned to the collar. Transformation Technique was plastered on his face. His facial features had been adjusted, his chin was pointed, and his eyebrow shape was wrong.
Can't see the real face clearly.
Obito didn't care at first.
A disguised ninja, Kirigakure caught a lot of them.
He was about to look back.
Then when the woman stepped off the boat, her left foot landed first, followed by her right foot, and her body's center of gravity shifted slightly to the left.
After landing, she paused for half a second and placed her right hand on her waist habitually.
Not touching weapons.
Just a small unconscious action.
Obito's pupils shrank.
Before his brain had time to react, his body had already made a judgment - his heartbeat accelerated, his breathing became shallow, and his fingers clenched unconsciously.
That action...
An inexplicable feeling of familiarity suddenly hit Obito's brain.
People were coming and going on the pier. The porter brushed his shoulder as he walked past, and someone cursed, "Don't block the way."
Obito couldn't hear it, his Sharingan was locked on the back of the black turtleneck.
