"The immortal ninja Hidan has officially debuted. I've sent him to the Kusagakure battlefield for training, and I believe he'll soon be able to shoulder important responsibilities."
"Very good, this is in line with our purpose. Currently, our financial reserves and personnel are growing rapidly. The next step is to instigate conflicts between small countries."
They were encouraged to hire informants to participate in the war, thereby monopolizing the market and creating a deterrent effect against the Five Great Nations.
You mean you're stirring up trouble everywhere?
That's one way to understand it.
"I understand. I'll observe for a while, and take action when the time is right."
Aoki Tsuki stood up, quickly glanced at Konan, and said with a smile, "If there are no other instructions, I'll be leaving now."
They then left the village and headed to Kusagakure to check on Hidan's progress.
"What... what just happened to this guy?"
Konan frowned, feeling that there was something strange about Aoki Tsuki's last look in his eyes, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Am I being too sensitive?
She then buried herself in her work. Xiao's business was growing larger and larger, with so many things to do that it took up most of her time, leaving her no time to be suspicious.
It wasn't until I lay in bed that night, looking at the Rinnegan pattern on the wall, that I suddenly realized the problem.
"It's not an illusion, Yue's eyes..."
The feeling of being seen through was so familiar; I faced the Rinnegan Tenten and was used to it, so I didn't react for a moment.
Nagato is a decent person, so there's no need to worry. Aoki Tsuki is different; he'll definitely be spying on her body.
"Damn it! How did this guy even do that...?"
The thought of this possibility gave Konan goosebumps all over her body, and she could no longer sleep.
This is tantamount to running naked in front of Aoki Tsuki.
The next morning, she quickly found two of Aoki Tsuki's students to inquire, which confirmed her guess.
"So he really developed a new Secret Mind Technique? And he used it on me right away, damn man!"
The other party has now left the village and will probably be gone for a while before returning. By then, who will remember these old stories?
What can she do about visual aggression?
Aoki Tsuki arrived in the Land of Grass, the Shinobi World War had long ended, but the country remained embroiled in conflict.
The ninjas of Iwagakure have always been aggressive and very active, constantly preparing for war. As a result, they have been harassing neighboring small countries for many years, and even Konoha has not been spared.
It felt a bit like military training.
The Land of Grass is frequently humiliated by the Land of Earth, dragged into the battlefield and unable to extricate itself, continuously draining the village's manpower and resources.
As a result, Kusagakure grew weaker and weaker, and when the real Shinobi World War came, it could only be a spectator, letting the great powers use its country as a battlefield.
This strategy is widely used by other major powers, none of whom want their neighboring smaller countries to become powerful.
Some were more ruthless, directly annihilating neighboring small countries, such as the Land of Whirlpools.
The curtain was lifted, and a female ninja from Kusagakure walked in, carrying a plate of roasted pork chops, a specialty of Kusagakure.
This is Hidan's favorite food; he eats it every day.
Hidan didn't rush to eat; instead, he first performed a pre-meal prayer, a necessary ritual for a fanatical religious ninja.
In the parlance of mukbang (eating broadcast) streamers: Guys, eat first!
He is now a highly skilled fighter hired by the Kusagakure from the Jashin Cult at great expense, and it is thanks to his addition that the casualties in the Kusagakure have decreased rapidly.
Therefore, he was given priority access to any good food available.
After finishing his prayer, Hidan began to eat heartily, quickly finishing the pork chop. He then smacked his lips and started complaining.
"The pork chops taste different today. Did they change chefs?"
"No, it tastes the same as before, just with a little something added!" The female ninja's voice suddenly turned cold, Hidan felt a jolt in his lower back.
Pfft...
"Ouch... that hurts! You probably poked my kidney, you jerk! Couldn't you have been a little gentler? Seriously!"
"Ah... you actually..."
The female ninja was terrified and, disbelieving, twirled the Kunai in her hand, attempting to widen the wound.
"Ouch! I told you it hurts." Hidan grabbed the rope beside him and pulled hard, sending the Triple-Bladed Scythe flying.
The female ninja hurriedly drew her Kunai defend herself, but her reaction was not fast enough. Faced with the huge killing area of the three scythes, she only managed to block one of the blades.
"You're dead."
Hidan stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from the tip of his sword, then quickly used his own blood to draw a sacrificial array on the ground.
"I don't know what you're up to, but you're probably out of luck. I've poisoned the food you just ate."
The female ninja remained calm; she had prepared two plans for this assassination.
"No matter what kind of poison it is, it can't kill me, you idiot."
Hidan had already drawn the ritual diagram; his skin was covered in black and white stripes. He took out an iron spike from his body and smiled cruelly.
"Hahahaha... Fear it, be scared, you're going to die!"
Seeing that Hidan didn't seem to be poisoned, the female ninja panicked, crying out, "Wait... wait, no!"
puff...
"Ugh... my heart." The female ninja clutched her chest and collapsed to her knees, her eyes wide open, before she slowly lost her breath.
"Huh? He died already? He didn't even feel any pain. Lord Jashin will be displeased."
Hidan, left with no other option, went to the door and shouted, "Hey, someone come and collect the body!"
"They're here, they're here." The guards from Kusagakure hurriedly ran over from afar.
"Which assassin has infiltrated this place? They're asking for death, trying to assassinate someone who can't be killed."
Every month, a few people try to assassinate Hidan, but none succeed. The people of Kusagakure secretly call this mercenary from the Jashin Cult "Little Devil."
No one dared to approach him in private, and no one even dared to go near the tent where he lived.
After the body was dragged away, Hidan was about to lie down and rest. Strictly speaking, he wasn't a ninja, so he didn't have any serious training.
His sacrifice to the Jashin can be considered a form of cultivation.
Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in my mind, "Looks like you're doing well here. Keep up the good work, and try to get me a few more hot spring soaks by the end of the year."
"Who's there?" Hidan stepped out of the tent and looked around, but there was no one there.
Aoki Tsuki didn't show himself; he needed to maintain an air of mystery to scare away a traitor like Hidan.
Continuing to fight here will eventually attract the attention of the Iwagakure Ninja, and Akatsuki's intelligence agents are constantly monitoring the war situation here.
If Iwagakure sends additional forces, Akatsuki members will disguise themselves as Konoha Anbu Ninja and launch a sneak attack, triggering a new round of conflict.
This kind of scenario will gradually unfold in neighboring small countries, with the aim of getting their people to pay Akatsuki to fight on their behalf.
When the time is right, they will begin to collect the Tailed Beast, create the ultimate war weapon, and influence the balance of power in the Shinobi World.
I traveled to several small countries around the area, and even went to the northern peninsula, but I still couldn't find the so-called Mountain Graveyard.
Finally, they returned to the headquarters of the Jashin Cult in the Land of Hot Water.
The Jashin Cult not only did not collapse, but under Kikuno Momo's management, it flourished and gradually made a name for itself in the underground market, taking on many commissioned tasks.
"Wow... what a capable woman."
What truly shocked him was the Uchiha inheritance that he had hinted at several times, which had previously been withheld from him.
During the time he was away, Kikuno Momo took it out and transformed the Jashin Research Institute into the Ninjutsu Research Institute.
In addition to Sealing Jutsu, Lightning Release, and the application of Natural Energy, the team has also expanded to include Fire Release, Water Release, Wind Release, Earth Release, and Medical Ninjutsu.
They're investing heavily in research and development; it looks like they're about to make a big splash.
They also opened up a huge additional source of income by using the Uchiha's unique method of inscribing Explosive Tag Explosive Tag to produce and sell them.
Explosive Tag have always been a scarce commodity on the market, with demand exceeding supply.
"Truly worthy of being a member of the Uchiha Clan, their magnanimity far surpasses mine," Aoki Tsuki thought to himself.
He had long realized that Mimoto was a very thoughtful person.
Previously, he was constrained by his background and strength, but now that he has taken over the management of the Jashin Cult, his inner power has exploded.
She could handle everything from the market positioning and operational strategies of the Jashin Cult to personnel management, and key members such as Butsushura, Hino, Doru were completely obedient to her.
Even her partners, Zabuza and Haku, were willing to follow her instructions.
"Damn, I've only been gone for six months. Is Sister Mimoto planning to replace me?"
He only provided general guidance to the Jashin Cult, leaving them to fend for themselves and not taking them seriously at all.
Now, Kikuno Momo has united them into a force.
" Little Tsuki, I heard you're back? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Kikuno Momo rushed over after finishing her work in the office and saw Aoki Tsuki sitting in a chair, deep in thought.
So he poured himself a glass of water, walked over, and casually sat on Aoki Tsuki's lap.
"You must be thirsty after your long journey. Here, have some water."
In the past, when Aoki Tsuki took the initiative to flirt with him, Kikuno Momo always rejected him. The more she rejected him, the more he wanted to seduce her.
Now that the other party is throwing themselves at him, he's become uneasy, always suspecting a conspiracy.
"Haha... I just drank, I'm not thirsty."
Aoki Tsuki took the water glass and placed it on the table beside him, fearing it might be poisoned.
"Sister Mimoto, nothing bad happened while I was away, right?"
"Everything is normal. With your name protecting us, no one dares to cause us trouble. Any tricky tasks are assigned to Zabuza."
In addition, I placed various Ninjutsu materials from my family collection at the research institute for them to study and reference.
If you achieve decent results, it will enhance your strength.
'So it was for my sake. I was being petty.' Aoki Tsuki felt a little guilty upon hearing this.
"In addition, I also established a secret jutsu library, opening up some basic Ninjutsu to those followers who have made contributions, thereby increasing their enthusiasm for doing things."
I took all of this upon myself, so please help me correct any mistakes I made.
"That's already very good. Even I couldn't do that." Aoki Tsuki praised with satisfaction.
