It was raining lightly in the sky.
Bai Yu was wearing a white slim-fitting suit and stood quietly on the cliff, overlooking the Yuyin Village ahead.
The raindrops continued to fall, and transparent ripples continued to appear about twenty centimeters away from Bai Yu's body, as if falling into calm water and causing ripples.
After being promoted to the first level "Evocation Warlock", Bai Yu's mental power and magic power have greatly increased, and he has now completed the vaporization of mental power and has begun the second stage of liquefaction of mental power. Level 0 defensive spells such as "Barrier", Bai Yu can release it 24 hours a day, almost as a semi-permanent solidifying spell. This consumption is almost negligible to him now.
Although with his current strength, if he encounters a powerful enemy and needs to fight, the "barrier" spell can provide extremely limited defense capabilities, but it is more than enough to protect him from wind and rain.
Mu Ling investigated Obito and the white creatures and found the leader of the Akatsuki organization. Bai Yu took this matter very seriously.
After all, if Obito is alive, he must have been bewitched by Madara if he did not return to Konoha. And Madara is definitely not too full and too busy. He can help Obito, a junior, because he must have some ulterior secrets.
No matter what Obito becomes, Bai Yu can have an absolute advantage as long as Lin has his trump card.
Recently, several members of the 'Infinite Ring' have been operating near the Country of Rain, and Bai Yu has also obtained a lot of information.
His main purpose in coming here is to take advantage of the opportunity to win over the Akatsuki organization and recruit the best ones. If not, he must at least establish certain connections. Even if he cannot cooperate, he must pay close attention to the Akatsuki organization and know their movements.
Just the day before yesterday, Mu Ling discovered that Danzo and the root members came to the Rain Hidden Village to meet Hanzo.
Although Bai Yu didn't know what Danzo and Hanzo said, he knew that as long as it was something Danzo wanted to do, he would be able to make a profit as long as he did the opposite.
With Bai Yu's current strength, it is not impossible to intercept and kill Danzo in the middle of the road without anyone noticing, but Konoha's Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks must not be missing.
If you want to use violence to deal with Konoha, Konoha will be united like never before.
World War II and World War III have proven this.
But as long as it is in peacetime, Konoha will definitely be in chaos from within and start internal strife.
The Sakumo incident and the Orochimaru incident have made Shiroha recognize the abilities of Danzo and the three generations of civil war genshin.
"who?!"
Bai Yu arrived not far outside Yuyin Village. Before he could get close to the gate, a dozen Yuyin ninjas appeared in front of him and blocked his way.
Everyone stared at Bai Yu with wary expressions. Although he was too young, he didn't even frown when surrounded by everyone. His calm demeanor was very surprising, and no one dared to neglect him.
The leading Yuyin Jonin took a step forward, looked at Bai Yu's face, and felt that it looked familiar: "I really wish I had seen you somewhere. I wonder why you came to our Yuyin Village?"
"I am Iori Baiyu." Baiyu smiled slightly: "I want to meet your leader Hanzo."
"Iori Shirayu?"
Everyone looked shocked.
"Are you Iori Shirayu?!"
An Amegakure chuunin asked curiously. There are many famous strong ninjas. The Five Shadows, Amegakure Demigod, Konoha Sannin, and Golden Flash are all the top experts in the world.
Among these strong men, Tsuchikage and Raikage are the strongest among the Five Shadows. In the Ninja World War, the third generation Raikage Ai suppressed the third generation Tsuchikage Onoki many times, so the strongest among the Five Shadows is undoubtedly The third generation Raikage Ai is at his peak.
Even the leader of the Rain Hidden Village, Hanzo, known as the demigod, publicly stated that if he fought head-on, he would not be able to stop the third generation Raikage Ai's nintaijutsu. A battle between Shadow and Ai.
However, in the three battles, Konoha's 'Blood Red Pepper' Kyuubi Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina successfully mastered the power of the Kyuubi at the age of early twenties and became the youngest and strongest Perfect in history. The Jinchuuriki suppressed the Third Raikage Ai many times in frontal battles.
The man behind Kushina is Yagami Shiroha. He can actually rely on nintaijutsu to fight on par with the Third Raikage Ai.
You must know that Kushina has mastered the power of the nine-tailed beast, the strongest tailed beast, and Yagami Baiyu, born as a commoner, has no bloodline from a wealthy family, is neither a Hinata nor an Uchiha, but he can be in his early twenties. At such a young age, he has practiced ninjutsu to such a terrifying level.
It can only be said that birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. Kushina and Bai Yu are a combination of genius and genius.
In the minds of many ninjas in the ninja world, Bai Yu's reputation is even higher than Kushina's, and is as famous as Konoha's Fourth Hokage Golden Flash.
Seeing the real person today, the Kirigakure ninjas all felt a little dazed. At the same age in their early twenties, Bai Yu looked like he had just grown up, but he was already a strong man standing on the top of the ninja world, and they were He doesn't even have the strength of a Jonin.
The gap between people is sometimes wider than the gap between people and dogs.
Snapped!
The Kirigakure jounin on the side heard his subordinate talking too much and slapped him on the back of the head. He reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you yelling at? You have to call me Shiroyu-sama!"
As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Bai Yu in front of him and said: "Sir Bai Yu, I wonder what business you have with our Hanzo-sama? Our Yuyin Village has not established diplomatic relations with the Uzumaki clan, so can you please Inform the purpose of this trip.”
The Kirigakure jounin is unusually polite, not to mention Bai Yu's terrifying strength. His wife is the current leader of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Kushina, the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. His arrival is likely to represent the Uzumaki clan.
Bai Yu's current status can be said to be second only to the five shadows in the world, so he came to the door in person, and the ninjas who greeted him could not be more respectful.
After all, offending him would be tantamount to offending two top powerhouses whose strength was not inferior to their leader Hanzo.
This kind of thing must never be done.
"It is precisely because the Uzumaki clan has not established diplomatic relations with Yuyin Village, so this time I came in person. Our diplomatic relations with Yuyin Village will be established starting from today." Bai Yu responded with a smile.
"You mean the Uzumaki clan wants to officially establish diplomatic relations with us?!" Amegakure Jonin's eyes widened. Now that the village and Iwagakure have been blocked from establishing diplomatic relations, the Uzumaki clan has taken the initiative to establish diplomatic relations. This is really a big deal. good news.
Amegakure Jounin said quickly: "Please go to the village and rest for a while. I will send someone to inform Hanzo-sama right away."
If you are an ordinary jounin, even if you are an envoy from the five major countries, you will definitely have to wait for the interpreter at the door.
But Bai Yu is different. He directly represents the Uzumaki clan, and a figure equivalent to the Five Shadows comes to visit in person.
The allies of the Five Great Nations, whose strength far exceeds that of Amegakure, have more formal significance than actual significance to Amegakure. Only ninja clans like the Uzumaki clan, which are not much different from the overall strength of Amegakure, have a chance to truly compete with Amegakure. The village became an offensive and defensive alliance.
"please!"
Following the signal from the Jonin of Amegakure, a dozen Amegakure ninjas stepped out of the way, bowed slightly, and invited Bai Yu to enter the village.
"I have always heard that Yuyin Village is xenophobic and difficult to get along with. Now it seems that you are still very hospitable. The rumors are wrong."
Bai Yu smiled slightly and walked towards the gate of Yuyin Village.
The surrounding Amegakure ninjas followed.
"This is......"
After close observation, more than a dozen Amegakure ninjas noticed that when the rain fell in front of Bai Yu, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and did not touch his body at all. Walking on the wet and muddy road, he My clothes and shoes are clean and not stained by water.
Just to avoid the rain, chakra is released from all angles of the body.
Not to mention how much of a waste of chakra this behavior is.
What kind of terrifying chakra control is this? !
I have long heard that Yagami Baiha's talent in medical ninjutsu is not inferior to that of Tsunade, the medical expert among the three ninjas. Now it seems that the rumors are not exaggerated in the slightest.
What is going on in Konoha?
He couldn't keep such a strong man, and he even let two of them go at once.
...
Bai Yu only waited in the room for a few minutes. Before he could take two sips of tea, he heard a distinct sound of footsteps.
As the Kirigakure Jonin retreated from the door, a middle-aged man with a strong build, wearing a gas mask and a short black cloak walked in. It was the leader of Amegakure Village who was called the 'demigod' in the ninja world. , Sansho Fish Hanzo.
"Are you Iori Yagami Shiroha? You are younger than the rumors say. You are indeed a hero! Konoha is really blessed with good fortune, which makes people jealous!"
Sanshouyu Hanzo's tone was full of admiration and envy, and he took the initiative to extend his hand.
Bai Yu stood up and shook hands with Hanzo, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Hanzo is as powerful as the rumors, but I have to explain one thing. I am now in the Uzumaki clan. Although I am an alliance with Konoha, I have become independent. , will not be controlled by Konoha, let alone follow Konoha's instructions."
While the two were exchanging business blows, they also completed a wave of testing.
Hanzo seemed to be praising Bai Yu and envying Konoha, but in fact he was testing Bai Yu's attitude towards Konoha.
Although he and Kushina left Konoha, the specific details were regarded as a shame by Konoha's senior officials. Naturally, they strictly ordered the Jonin not to tell the truth. Hanzo didn't know the reason, but he was naturally afraid that the Uzumaki clan would still maintain a close relationship with Konoha as before. , so he spoke to test him.
Bai Yu's answer also showed his attitude towards the Uzumaki clan.
As Kushina's husband, his words and deeds are enough to represent the Uzumaki clan.
"I believe Mr. Bai Yu doesn't like beating around the bush, so I'll tell the truth." Hanzo's eyes lit up when he heard Bai Yu's answer, and he continued: "The Uzumaki clan wants to form an alliance with our Rain Hidden Village, which I fully agree with. It’s just that I think we’d better explain in advance the extent of the sincerity of both parties.”
When Bai Yu heard this, he cursed in his heart. He was indeed an old fox, and his words were really beautiful. However, Hanzo was definitely not a simple person to be able to make Yuyin Village peaceful in troubled times.
You must know that Yuyin Village is located in the center of the border between the Three Kingdoms. It is low-lying and mainly plain terrain, which is most suitable for large-scale troops to march. If Hanzo was not afraid of Hanzo, it would be easy for the Three Kingdoms to destroy Yuyin Village.
"Your Excellency Hanzo is indeed straightforward, so I will speak frankly." Bai Yu said sternly: "The Uzumaki clan hopes to form an offensive and defensive alliance with Yuyin Village to jointly resist the invasion of the big powers."
Hanzo frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Ninja World War is over, Amegakure Village has been affected by the Second Ninja World War and has not yet recovered its strength.
Iwagakure Village will have a complete ceasefire with us in the near future. At this time, it is okay to form an alliance with the Uzumaki clan, but if we form an offensive and defensive alliance, wouldn't it give us a few more powerful enemies for nothing.
After all, the former Uzumaki Country was destroyed, and the Kirigakure Village must have been involved. There were also other ninja villages, and it was hard to guarantee that Iwagakure and Sunagakure were not involved.
Amegakure Village is at the junction of the Three Kingdoms. If there is an enmity with Iwagakure and Sunagakure and a war really breaks out, will the Uzumaki Clan be able to rescue them in time?
What's more, the Uzumaki clan is more likely to be attacked.
I can't take this risk with Rain Hidden Village. "
"Your Excellency Hanzo's answer is also what I expected. After all, several other countries also had such concerns when they formed an alliance with us." Bai Yu nodded.
Hanzo looked puzzled: "How many other countries?"
Bai Yu replied: "The Kingdom of Ghosts, the Kingdom of Stone, the Kingdom of Birds, and the Kingdom of Bears have all formed an offensive and defensive alliance with our Uzumaki clan."
Regarding the alliance, Bai Yu has no need to hide it. It doesn't matter even if it is made public.
Anyway, if the enemy wants to deal with the Uzumaki clan, they will definitely attack the base camp of the Country of Uzumaki first, and will not attack other small countries directly.
If the enemy really does not respect martial ethics, then Bai Yu will directly enter the enemy's country to destroy it.
As for the Kingdom of Snow, it is currently the headquarters of the organization and a heavy industry base. In addition, it is blocked by the ice ocean, so Bai Yu has no intention of exposing it for the time being.
"What?" Hanzo looked shocked and a little unbelievable. Although Bai Yu was talking about small countries, it was precisely because they were small countries that they needed to be more cautious.
The way for small countries to survive is either to be neutral and not ally with any country, or to rely on neighboring big countries.
These countries are all in the northwest of the Country of Fire, and the Country of Whirlpool where the Uzumaki Clan is located is on a peninsula on the southeast coast of the Country of Fire. It is very far away. In this case, if an accident occurs, the army of the Uzumaki Clan will need to cross the entire Land of Fire. country, we can arrive.
Precisely because they were far apart, Hanzo didn't really want to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Uzumaki clan.
"Because these countries all know that allying with the five major countries will be abandoned at any time. Only by closely integrating with the Uzumaki clan can they have the opportunity to be equal to the big countries. Big countries and small countries often have to choose one or the other, so they choose to be with us Should the Uzumaki clan form an offensive and defensive alliance, or continue to be attached to the great powers, and be abandoned again when the Ninja World War begins, Hanzo-dono needs to think carefully and make a decision."
Bai Yu said in a deep voice.
Hanzo was silent for a long time and responded: "I don't know if you want to take advantage of Yuyin Village, but what you said makes sense, but if you want me to trust you, you must show real sincerity!"
Bai Yu's heart moved, but his face remained calm and he said calmly: "What kind of sincerity?"
He doesn't necessarily want to form an alliance with the Hidden Rain Village, but mainly wants to obtain information about the Akatsuki organization and Danzo and figure out Danzo's purpose.
But if there is an alliance, he really means it.
Hanzo's chakra strength is a little worse than that of the Third Raikage Ai, but it is comparable to that of the Third Hokage, and the toxin of the Sanshou Fish that he is best at will be affected even if there is an antidote, so he is an army alone. The combat power cannot be underestimated.
If the Rain Hidden Village can be brought into the Uzumaki Clan's chariot, the overall strength will be greatly improved, which can be said to be a strong alliance.
But in Bai Yu's opinion, Hanzo would not agree easily.
This is also true.
"In recent years, an organization called 'Akatsuki' has emerged in the Kingdom of Rain. I recently met with the leader of this organization and they want to cooperate with me.
However, the real purpose of the Akatsuki organization is to seize power and overthrow my rule in Yuyin Village.
In the near future, I will prepare to take action against the Akatsuki organization and completely eliminate them.
Since the Uzumaki clan really wants to form an offensive and defensive alliance with us, let's use this matter to show our sincerity and help us completely eliminate the Akatsuki organization. "
Hanzo explained, his eyes fixed on Bai Yu.
After Bai Yu thought for a moment, he replied: "Okay, I can help with this matter."
"Then I wish us happy cooperation!" Hanzo stretched out his hand again.
Bai Yu smiled and nodded, shaking hands with Hanzo, but he had another thought in his mind.
It seems that the right to choose an alliance lies in Hanzo's hands. Bai Yu has to give a letter of surrender and help Hanzo solve this trouble in order to gain his trust.
But in fact, the initiative lies in Bai Yu's hands.
Bai Yu didn't know much about the intelligence of the Akatsuki organization, but he knew that at the beginning of the plot, the Akatsuki organization aimed to collect tailed beasts, which meant that the future Akatsuki organization must be extremely powerful.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It is still unclear whether Amegakure Village is an enemy or a friend. Whether to choose Amegakure Village, which is currently powerful, or the mysterious and powerful Akatsuki Organization in the future.
Bai Yu had to think carefully.
