Yuyin Village.
Hanzo personally sent Bai Yu to the gate and watched him leave until his back completely disappeared from sight, Hanzo's face looked gloomy.
"Lord Hanzo, Sir Bai Yu, on behalf of the Uzumaki clan, wants to form an alliance with our Amegakure Village. Isn't it a win-win situation? Why do you look unhappy." The Amegakure jounin on the side saw that Hanzo's expression was a little solemn and couldn't help it. asked.
Hanzo looked at his subordinates and sighed inwardly.
Although there are some outstanding Jonin in Amegakure Village, these people's political sense is too low, and they don't even understand such simple principles. They have obviously been persuaded by Iori Shirayu's diplomatic words just now.
Hanzo could only explain patiently: "We have never interacted with the Uzumaki clan. Although they have two top powerhouses, Shiroha Yagami and Kushina Uzumaki, their background is still too shallow compared to Konoha.
Moreover, I have already promised Danzo in advance. If I form an alliance with the Uzumaki clan now, I may offend Danzo.
After all, the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Fire are bordering each other, and they are separated from the Kingdom of Whirlpool by the entire territory of the Kingdom of Fire. Even if an offensive and defensive alliance is really formed, it is not yet known whether the Uzumaki clan will really keep their promise. It's worth the risk.
For the time being, I can only stabilize Iori Baiyu first, it depends on the situation.
If Danzo can keep his promise, the Uzumaki clan's alliance will become dispensable.
In the final analysis, one's own strength is fundamental. In these troubled times, allies are meant to be betrayed. Especially for a small country like ours, we must be cautious every step of the way. "
"Hanzo-sama, are you saying that what Iori Baiha has said is actually to deceive us and to use the power of our Amegakure Village to attract the attention of the great powers? He is so insidious!" Amegakure Jounin revealed. With a look of fear, he then reacted and asked: "What if he really helps us eliminate the Akatsuki organization?"
"At that time, it is not impossible to form an alliance, but the Uzumaki clan will have to pay more. Our Country of Rain is located at the junction of the three major countries, and the possibility of encountering war is higher. At that time, it will depend on the sincerity of the Uzumaki clan. Are you really prepared to form an offensive and defensive alliance with us?"
Hanzo explained.
If Bai Yu and the Uzumaki clan are really so sincere, then Hanzo is sincerely willing to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Uzumaki clan to jointly resist the threat of the great powers.
Of course, this possibility is low.
Hanzo has been in control of the Rain Hidden Village for decades. He has a very clear understanding of the intrigues in the ninja world. There are only permanent interests between countries, but there are no permanent friends. When the Uzumaki clan becomes stronger in the future, they will still be able to easily Abandon the land of rain.
Now that the Uzumaki clan has formed an alliance with Konoha, the relationship is relatively friendly. At least Konoha cannot use force against the Uzumaki clan.
The Uzumaki clan located on the southeastern peninsula of the Country of Fire only needs to deal with the threat from the Kirigakure Village of the Country of Water to the east in order to develop steadily.
There is also a sea country composed of islands in the southeast of the Kingdom of Whirlpool. The large islands are conducive to the expansion of the Kingdom of Whirlpool.
As long as Iori Shiroha and Uzumaki Kushina lie dormant for more than ten years, waiting for the next ninja war to break out, they can take the opportunity to invade the Islands of the Kingdom of the Sea, and the Kingdom of Uzumaki will be even stronger by then.
In fact, Hanzo had a similar idea, but the Kingdom of Rain is located in the center of the three kingdoms of wind, fire, and earth. The Kingdom of Birds, Ghosts, Bears, and Stone to the west were originally neutral countries, while the Kingdom of Grass to the northeast was Konoha's ally, the Taki Country above is even more powerful than the Rain Country and has tailed beasts.
Further up is the Iron Country, a neutral samurai nation.
The geographical location of the Country of Rain is very unfavorable. If you want to expand its territory, you can only expand westward. However, all neutral countries in the west have now formed an alliance with the Uzumaki clan.
In the past, if the Country of Rain wanted to develop, the best way was to abandon its homeland and move to other countries. This way, the strength of the Rain Hidden Village could develop more rapidly, and it would not be lost in the ninja wars one after another. Suffering a blow, the economy of Rain Country cannot develop, and the geographical location is the direct reason.
However, Hanzo was reluctant to give up his homeland, so he could only find ways to make the Kingdom of Rain stronger in the land where he was born and raised.
It's just that his ambitions have gradually been wiped out by reality.
Now Bai Yu has given him a hope, but Hanzo feels that this hope is too good, and it is more likely to be a conspiracy.
Hanzo has seen too many dark sides in the ninja world. When facing the sun, his first consideration is the shadow behind the sun.
"Hanzo-sama, I understand." Amegakure Jōnin couldn't help but sigh Hanzo's wisdom. At least the current Amegakure Village is stronger than the Uzumaki Clan, so this alliance is actually the Uzumaki Clan begging the Amegakure Village, and the initiative lies with them. in hands.
"Hanzo-sama, do you think Yagami Shiroha will leak the information about our plan to attack the Akatsuki organization, such as telling Yahiko, the leader of the Akatsuki organization?"
The Jonin Amegakure changed the topic and couldn't help but ask.
"It is possible." Hanzo nodded and said: "However, the strength of Yuyin Village and the Akatsuki organization are not directly proportional. Regardless of whether he sincerely allies with us, purely considering interests, choosing Yuyin Village is better than choosing a weak Akatsuki organization. favorable."
"How about we monitor him and see if he can..." Yugakure Jōnin suggested, but after noticing Hanzo's eyes, he immediately closed his mouth and couldn't help but give himself two hand. How could he say such stupid things? Surveilling a strong man like Bai Yu is asking for trouble. He will probably be discovered soon. If the other party is sincere in forming an alliance, wouldn't it be self-defeating for him to do so.
...
After leaving Yuyin Village, Bai Yu went to the base of the Akatsuki organization based on the information provided by Mu Ling.
The body of the wood spirit is a fusion of first-generation cells and a large number of white biological cells. When he awakened the wood escape, he also obtained a special technique called the Mayfly Technique, which can perfectly blend into the earth and is difficult to be perceived. It is quite simple to use this ability to collect intelligence.
Because of this, Bai Yu developed a special barrier based on the cells of Kodama, combined with Kushina's sealing technique, and the witch formation in the "Book of Ancient Indo Warlocks", specifically targeting white creatures.
However, there is currently no way to effectively restrain the white creatures, so they are difficult to capture and can only be captured through violent combat.
"Huh?" Halfway through, Bai Yu stopped, reached into his arms, and took out a scroll.
Bang!
Bai Yu opened the scroll, a cloud of smoke rose, and a small white snake as big as a palm appeared in his palm.
"Lord Bai Yu."
A young female voice sounded.
"Who are you? White Snake? Can you control your body size?" Bai Yu was stunned when he heard the familiar voice. The White Snake has become a giant psychic beast after being cultured by his cells. Its strength is now second only to the Green Snake. , and Kushina's psychic beast Xinya, it is estimated that the strength is almost the same as Orochimaru's psychic beast Tenga.
Technology is the primary productive force, which is not an empty statement.
The source of Bai Yu's own bloodline is the fourth-level mythical creature "World Tree-associated Python". Using his bloodline as the basis for cell experiments, the strength of White Snake, Green Snake, and Xinya have all been greatly improved.
What surprised him was that after not seeing him for a while, White Snake could actually control his body size. In other words, White Snake was not far away from turning into a human form now, which was close to the level of the three great goddesses.
"Yes, this is thanks to Master Baiyu's cultivation." White Snake said very respectfully, with a hint of intimacy in his words, and then added: "Master Kushina has important information to convey, so I took the initiative to inform you. "
Under normal circumstances, White Snake is naturally resistant to those of the opposite sex who have a close relationship with Bai Yu. Kushina is the only exception.
After all, Kushina even defeated Xinya, and White Snake also admires the strong.
Of course, the most important thing is that Kushina is Bai Yu's wife, equivalent to the mistress, and Bai Yu still has this sense of propriety.
Hearing this, Bai Yu nodded and asked, "What important information? Could it be that something happened to the Uzumaki clan?"
"No, it's Kushina-sama who is pregnant. It's been almost two months."
White Snake explained.
"Pregnant!" Bai Yu's eyes lit up. He closed his eyes and sensed carefully. Only Ziyuan's blood connection was relatively clear. The other senses were extremely weak, but if he concentrated his whole body, he could still feel it.
After sensing the weak blood connection between the other two, Bai Yu's face lit up with joy: "Could they be twins!?"
Kushina is Bai Yu's wife, and the two parties have the closest relationship.
Now there are two more blood descendants.
Moreover, Kushina herself has a strong physical talent, and Bai Yu has the blood source of a fourth-level mythical creature. It can be said that they are a powerful combination.
Bai Yu could not wait for the birth of her child.
Kushina is currently only two months pregnant, and the child's bloodline strength is not obvious, but one thing is certain, that is, the starting point of the two children will definitely be very high.
"It seems that I have to work hard." Bai Yu sighed. The stronger his bloodline source, the descendants will also improve accordingly. His descendants will not need to be as cautious and careful as he was at the beginning, for fear of taking a wrong step.
This is the so-called predecessors plant trees, and future generations can enjoy the shade.
"Congratulations, Lord Bai Yu." White Snake said with a smile.
Bai Yu stretched out his finger and poked White Snake's head gently, then took out a tube of medicine from the storage scroll and fed it to White Snake.
This is the "Dragon Transformation Potion" developed based on the "Dragon Transformation Grass", which can improve the blood purity and cell activity of snake creatures.
However, because Bai Yu's bloodline source is too strong, the effect of this potion on him is negligible, so he is studying to improve the medicinal properties of "Dragon Transformation Grass" and develop a more effective "Dragon Transformation Potion".
Currently, this potion is given as a reward to the psychic beasts under his command.
"Thank you, Lord Bai Yu!" White Snake happily took the potion in his mouth and drank it in one gulp. Then it turned into smoke and dissipated, returning to Longdi Cave to digest the potion.
"It seems that I have to go back and see Kushina first." Bai Yu showed a heartfelt smile, found the right direction, and quickly rushed towards the Kingdom of Whirlpool.
As for the affairs of the Akatsuki organization, they can be left to the incarnation of the wood spirit.
If you want to conquer the Akatsuki organization, you can't rely on violence, and his body is not suitable for showing up.
In fact, if Hanzo wanted to deal with the Akatsuki organization, he didn't need to rely on Bai Yu's help at all, he could do it on his own.
The so-called certificate of submission, in the final analysis, still does not trust the Uzumaki clan.
Although Bai Yu can understand, he and the Uzumaki clan do not have to form an alliance with Yuyin Village.
Hanzo strives for it, but he doesn't necessarily want to be in the same boat.
After all, he has been the leader of Yuyin Village for decades. Such an old guy has no dreams for young people.
So Bai Yu is still more inclined to help Xiao organization.
As for how to do it specifically, it depends on how you do it to get greater benefits.
From the current point of view, even if he helps Hanzo eradicate the Akatsuki organization, he will definitely make more demands.
Contact the Akatsuki organization first.
...
A tall tower-like building stands in the rain.
The base of the Akatsuki organization was also moved here from the original cave.
Since meeting Hanzo, the Akatsuki organization has changed from a spontaneous civilian armed organization to an officially recognized partner.
“It’s been getting busier and busier lately, and I feel like there simply aren’t enough manpower.”
Yahiko, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, stood on the top floor of the tower, looked down, and sighed.
"In order to complete the peace talks between Amegakure Village and Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure, domestic security must be maintained. Recently, there seems to be a force deliberately causing destruction at the border." Nagato looked a little solemn on the side.
"It must be a hostile force causing trouble. We need to increase the number of patrols and deploy more manpower in the near future. If possible, we should seek help from Yuyin Village."
Konan suggested.
Hearing this, Yahiko shook his head and said, "No, this is the first important task entrusted to our Akatsuki organization by the Hidden Rain Village. We must complete the task on our own and prove the capabilities of our Akatsuki organization."
"What the leader said makes sense!"
"The worst thing we can do is work harder and make more trips."
"We must let Master Hanzo recognize the capabilities of our Akatsuki organization!"
The members of the Akatsuki organization on the side also expressed their agreement.
When it got dark and the members exited the tower one after another, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan were still thinking about countermeasures.
At this time, the wood spirit emerged from the ground and appeared in front of the three people.
"It's you again? What are you doing here again?!" Yahiko frowned and stared at the wood spirit in front of him.
At first, Yahiko felt that Kodama's words made sense, and he even wavered in his belief that the era of mutual understanding between people would eventually come. However, after meeting Hanzo, he saw hope, so he began to reject it in his heart. This mysterious man claiming to be Senju Hashirama, and another man claiming to be Madara Uchiha, are even more unbelievable.
Bai Yu spread his hands and said calmly: "I'm just here to inform you of a piece of information. Konoha's Danzo and Amegakure's Hanzo are colluding to wipe out the Akatsuki organization when you meet next time."
"What?!" Yahiko's face changed and he said in a deep voice: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Why would Master Hanzo do this? Moreover, Konoha has re-allied with Iwagakure and Sunagakure. Our Akatsuki organization's mission this time is In order to promote an alliance between the four villages and completely eliminate the war, they have no reason to deal with the Akatsuki organization."
"Your ideals are beautiful, but you can understand the pain of others, but others will not care about your pain. You talk to Hanzo about your ideals, but what he thinks is that your existence will affect his rule in Yuyin Village." Bai Yu shook his head: "Of course, I am just informing you of this information. Whether you believe it or not is your own business. Reality will let you know what the price of innocence is."
After saying that, Bai Yu sank into the ground and disappeared from the scene.
Yahiko's face was uncertain, and it suddenly changed. The day of meeting Hanzo was just around the corner.
What if it's true...
wrong!
No chance!
