"Hopefully, the Fourth Raikage will keep his word and not attack Sunagakure after taking the money."
After saying Chiyo, Chiyo had someone deliver 10 billion ryo and the Scroll of Seals.
"Should we count this money?"
Ziyun then sent people to count the money.
The count was quickly completed, and it was indeed 10 billion ryo. Chiyo, that old woman, didn't dare to play any tricks on Kumogakure.
"Now the Fourth Raikage Fourth Raikage rest easy. I hope he keeps his promise, releases Rasa, and doesn't attack Sunagakure in the future."
Chiyo said.
"Don't worry, I always keep my word. I won't attack Sunagakure. But you'd better not provoke me, or I might just crush Sunagakure."
Ziyun nodded and said after seeing that the money was correct.
Honestly, there's nothing about Sunagakure that I should care about. Getting so much money and the Scroll of Seals from Sunagakure is already maximizing my gains.
" Kushina, are you interested in this Magnet Release?"
Then Ziyun asked Kushina.
Magnet Release is considered one of the stronger Kekkei Genkai in Hokage, capable of both offense and defense.
At least the Third Kazekage and Fourth Kazekage relied on this Kekkei Genkai to become Kage Level powerhouses.
Mastering Magnet Release makes one at least a Kage Level shikigami.
However, Kushina had no interest in Magnet Release and refused.
If Rasa knew that Kushina had rejected his prized Magnet Release, he would definitely be furious.
"Alright then, we'll find a suitable Kumogakure Ninja to learn from, which will also strengthen the Kumogakure..."
Ziyun didn't mind. To be honest, he really didn't think much of Magnet Release, and Kushina, and Tsunade probably didn't think much of Mikoto either. Since that was the case, he would let the other ninjas in Kumogakure learn it.
" Ziyun, you said that Sunagakure handed over 10 billion ryo because they were afraid we would take action against them. Would Iwagakure, who ran away, be willing to pay such a protection fee?"
At this moment, the cunning Tsunade also came up to Ziyun and smiled.
" Tsunade, you're absolutely right, that's exactly what I was thinking." Ziyun smiled.
As expected of my woman, her thoughts perfectly align with mine.
Although Iwagakure suffered minimal losses, Kumogakure will still intervene if they don't pay protection money.
Even if Ōnoki and the Iwagakure Ninja stay in Iwagakure, it doesn't matter. With the strength of Kumogakure, they can easily infiltrate Iwagakure.
" Mei Terumi, send someone to Iwagakure and demand 15 billion ryo in protection money. Tell them that if they don't call them out, we'll attack Iwagakure."
Ziyun then gave this instruction, Mei Terumi quickly set about sending people to do it.
Less than a week later, Ōnoki's son, Kitsuchi, arrived at Kumogakure with 150 taels of silver and reluctantly handed the money over to Ziyun.
"Go back and tell your father to rest assured that I always keep my word, and I will absolutely not harm your Iwagakure after taking the money."
Ziyun smiled and comforted Kitsuchi.
This money was earned too easily; even Ziyun felt a little embarrassed.
"I see."
Kitsuchi could only offer a polite smile and then immediately leave.
"Let's prepare to retreat."
Having secured sufficient benefits from both Sunagakure and Iwagakure, Ziyun prepared to leave with the Kumogakure Ninja.
The Kumogakure has already gained enough from this great battle; there's no need for them to get involved further.
Just then, Madara Uchiha seized the opportunity and suddenly launched a surprise attack on Konoha with the Kirigakure ninjas.
This caught Konoha off guard and led to the battle at Minato Namikaze Kannabi Bridge, where Minato Obito Uchiha were killed.
"It seems Madara Uchiha's plan can still proceed."
After seeing this information, Ziyun didn't bother to care anymore.
He also hoped that Madara Uchiha's actions would prompt the system to issue him a mission, thus earning him considerable rewards.
Following this, although Konoha was caught off guard by Kirigakure and lost the battle at Kannabi Bridge, they quickly recovered and repelled the Kirigakure Ninja.
After all, Kirigakure was too weak, unable to even field a single Kage Level shinobi, so it was quickly destroyed by Konoha.
Having successfully found a successor Madara Uchiha was no longer planning to continue the fight. He had achieved his goal, and his next task was to persuade Obito Uchiha implement the Eye of the Moon Plan.
"The great battle should be coming to an end soon, right?"
After returning to Kumogakure, Ziyun received information that Kirigakure had been defeated by Konoha, and muttered to himself.
The Third Shinobi World War did not last as long as in the original story. Because the Kumogakure was too powerful, this protracted war only lasted for less than half a year before it was almost over.
Of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, only Kumogakure) benefited the most; the other Four Great Shinobi Villages suffered heavy losses.
Konoha, in particular, lost half of the Land of Land of Fire, along with a large amount of supplies and money. They even handed over two Kage Level Uchiha Clan Head and the Uchiha Grand Elder, to Kumogakure.
Fortunately, Konoha was saved, and Konoha Hiruzen Sarutobi turn the tide in the future.
[Ding~ Congratulations, host, for completing the Super S-Rank mission and leading Kumogakure to victory in the Third Shinobi World War; Rewards: Pluton; Ten-Tails Chakra; Glint-Glint Fruit; Perfect Sage Mode!]
A huge amount of rewards were poured into Ziyun's body, and Ziyun immediately felt that his strength, which had not increased for many years, had been greatly enhanced!
In particular, the Ten-Tails Chakra was directly transferred into Ziyun's body.
" With the Ten-Tails Chakra, my strength has probably reached the Six Paths Level."
Feeling the changes in his body, Ziyun felt that his strength had increased dramatically.
After all, Ziyun received the equivalent of all the Chakra of the Ten-Tails; in other words, Ziyun is now equivalent to the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
If the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki isn't a Six Paths Level Six Paths Level powerhouse, then who is?
"After obtaining the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, my strength increased significantly."
With the Ten-Tails Chakra, Ziyun can do even more.
With the newly acquired Perfect Sage Mode, Ziyun's next task is to condense the Truth-Seeking Orb.
Truth-Seeking Orb can unleash power surpassing Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta, but they do not belong to the Kekkei Mōra. According to the markings in the Book of Jin, Truth-Seeking Orb only fall under the category of Ninjutsu.
However, the Jade of Truth-Seeking Orb has considerable uses.
These black spheres contain the Power of All Creation. Those without the Six Paths Power will vanish into nothingness upon touching them, while those with the Six Paths Power can touch them at will.
Its shape can also be freely changed, transforming into various weapons for the caster to use; in short, it is extremely powerful.
With Ziyun's talent and strength, it's only a matter of time before he condenses the Truth-Seeking Orb.
It only took Ziyun three days to condense the Truth-Seeking Orb, which shows that Ziyun has indeed reached the Six Paths Level.
" Lord Raikage, we have new intelligence. A Sunagakure Ninja named Pakura has infiltrated Kumogakure."
In the Raikage's Office, Mei Terumi looked at the intelligence she had just received and reported it to Ziyun.
Mei Terumi Pakura, the Scorch Release ninja. She made many contributions to Sunagakure during the Third Shinobi World War and was known as a hero of Sunagakure.
Moreover, it's rumored that this woman was also one of the candidates for the Fourth Kazekage, but she was outshone by Rasa.
Her sudden plan to infiltrate Kumogakure must be part of a conspiracy.
"Has Pakura infiltrated Kumogakure? It seems Rasa's idiocy has flared up again."
Upon seeing the intelligence, Ziyun immediately guessed Rasa's purpose.
He wanted to use the Kumogakure to get rid of Pakura.
In the original story, this is how Pakura was tricked to death by Rasa. He first lured Pakura to Kirigakure to carry out a mission, and then had her ambushed and killed by Kirigakure ninja disguised as allies.
Rasa's arrangement was intended to appease Kirigakure, but that was in the original story.
Kirigakure is too weak now, and it's impossible for them to kill Pakura, so Rasa sent Pakura to Kumogakure.
However, Kumogakure and Sunagakure don't actually have much animosity and don't need such appeasement, so there's only one possibility.
Pakura has threatened Rasa's position as the Fourth Kazekage.
After all, Rasa has not yet officially become the Fourth Kazekage, but is still the acting Kazekage. This is probably because the conflict between Rasa and Chiyo during the Third Shinobi World War had accumulated to a certain extent.
"So what should we do? Should we go and kill this woman named Pakura?"
Mei Terumi blinked and asked Ziyun for instructions.
In the blink of an eye, Mei Terumi's alluring and seductive charm was once again on full display.
"Killing Pakura would just make us a pawn for that idiot Rasa. Besides, Pakura isn't weak; she's at least at the Quasi-Kage Level now. Let's see if we can subdue her."
Ziyun thought for a moment and then said.
This woman possesses the Kekkei Genkai, Scorch Release, and is quite powerful. She will definitely become a Kage Level powerhouse in the future.
Why can't the Kumogakure gain another Kage Level fighter out of thin air? It's just a matter of talking.
Of course, if Pakura is unwilling to join, Ziyun will not hesitate to eliminate him.
"Let Pakura enter Kumogakure first, without alerting them."
Then Ziyun gave orders to the Anbu.
About a week later, Pakura, a ninja from Sunagakure, who had been dispatched, infiltrated Kumogakure.
"So this is Kumogakure, the strongest village in the Shinobi World? The defenses are so weak, I was able to infiltrate it so easily?"
Everything went very smoothly, which made Pakura both very puzzled and very uneasy.
Of course she knew how powerful the Kumogakure was.
How could such a powerful ninja village have such weak defenses? It was so easy for them to infiltrate.
Could it be that Kumogakure has become arrogant? Do they think no one in the Shinobi World would dare to infiltrate their village?
