"Ryuchi Cave is, after all, the gathering place for the contracted psychic beasts of Dean Orochimaru, so there is no need to report this matter to me."
Uchiha Demitsu said hypocritically.
"...The so-called Holy Land for Psychic Beasts is a strange species after all, and is ultimately unreliable."
Orochimaru replied seriously: "We can only drive and control the aliens, but we cannot listen to them and believe them!"
The purpose of these words is indeed high!
Uchiha Tokko couldn't help but nod in approval.
It has to be said that after suddenly reaching the middle and upper levels of Konoha, Orochimaru seemed to understand immediately.
Although I have heard a lot of nice words and flattery, it has to come from someone’s mouth.
For example, a guy like Orochimaru, who has a bad temper, a tough temper and strong principles, the beautiful words that come out of his mouth without any trace of traces are more pleasing to people than the various flatteries from other people.
"I am very interested in the so-called Holy Land..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a smile, tapping his fingers on the table, "Dean Orochimaru should also understand that there is a reason why I asked you to preside over the research on Ninja..."
Orochimaru nodded slightly and glanced at a report document placed next to Uchiha Tokko's finger.
Although there is a piece of paper covering it, you can recognize it as his grant application report just from the corners.
Moreover, it seems that I haven’t opened it yet...
"I understand, it's for the magic chakra."
Orochimaru bowed slightly.
"Although I hate those aliens who try to interfere with the ninja world, especially those aliens who will always cause unplanned interference to the great cause of the unification of the world..."
Uchiha Tokko seemed to have casually said the words that stirred up a storm in Orochimaru's heart, "But!"
Orochimaru's heart suddenly jumped several times.
"Natural energy is a good thing, and magic chakra is also a good thing."
After Uchiha Tokko finished speaking, he smiled and said nothing.
"...The inheritance of Ryūchidong should be difficult, because as far as I know, apart from the White Snake Patriarch, the only Ryūchidong clan that possesses magical chakra is the Three Goddess."
After Orochimaru was silent for a while, he opened his mouth to speak.
His eyes once again looked at the funding application report next to Uchiha Tokumitsu's finger.
This report involves his core research!
Orochimaru's heart was burning, but he couldn't express it directly.
"I remember that in addition to the Three Goddesses, there is also a giant snake named Xinya who should also have magical chakra... and also has the power to turn people to stone..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu still smiled calmly.
"Xingya is a member of the Ryujidong clan that attracts much attention. I can neither approach nor drive..."
Orochimaru sighed slightly and said: "But... there may still be a solution to the celestial arts books in Ryūchi Cave."
"That's not bad~"
The smile on Uchiha Tokko's face grew wider.
I scrolled around on the table and suddenly saw the application report next to me.
"This is Dean Orochimaru's application~ You should have said it earlier!"
Uchiha Tokko casually turned to the last page, signed his name with a swipe of a pen, and then handed over the report with a smile.
"Then thank you, Dean Orochimaru..."
"...It's a matter of duty."
Orochimaru bowed slightly and took the report signed by Uchiha Tokko with both hands.
"This is the legendary money ability..."
After walking out of the office, Orochimaru couldn't help but look at the funding application report he was holding tightly in his arms, and couldn't help but feel a sense of disillusionment in his heart.
It's like seeing that the thing you love is actually just a plaything that others can throw away.
"……just one time!"
When no one was around, Orochimaru no longer controlled his tongue.
After washing his face vigorously with his tongue, Orochimaru regained his composure and thought to himself: "The secret book of senjutsu from Ryūchi Cave is useless without the cooperation of senjutsu chakra! So this is not a betrayal!"
"And... I just want it once! Just once!"
…
Jiraiya appeared publicly in Konoha, and then escaped in full view of the public. This incident was a moderate blow to the shogunate and the police department.
Fortunately, Jiraiya leaked a trump card, and Konoha was able to make deployment adjustments in advance.
Especially in terms of sealing spells.
After extracting the traces of chakra left at the scene, the sealing team, led by Uzumaki Ashina, the leader, spent sleepless nights and food, quickly adjusted the original sealing circle, and developed a new set of time and space sealing barriers. The new sealing technique has not been tested, and everyone in the sealing class, including the Ashina clan leader, is not very sure about it.
The development of new sealing techniques is just a timely response. In addition, Uchiha Tokumitsu also made new deployments to the anti-terrorist forces.
That is to form a multinational joint anti-terrorism force.
Under Uchiha Tokumitsu's planning, all forces in the ninja world responded to Konoha's call for "goodwill"; among them, Kirigakure mobilized 600 ninjas to form an anti-terrorism force and handed over the command to the shogunate. The current commander of Konoha's anti-terrorism force was appointed by Uchiha Tokko.
In addition, Kusanagi Village recruited 90 ninjas, and Rain Ninja Village recruited 60 ninjas. These off-duty ninjas were all organized into the Joint Anti-Terrorism Force, under the unified command of Uchiha Shiina.
As for Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, the Third Kazekage finally decided to send one hundred and twenty ninjas to join the joint anti-terrorism force after long discussions with Sunagakure senior officials, and approved the freedom of the joint anti-terrorism force when accompanied by anti-terrorism ninjas from the country. Enter the country.
In fact, the Third Kazekage did not intend to agree, but Sunagakure urgently needed financial support from the stock exchange and the United Company, so he could only make appropriate concessions in this regard.
Even the Iron Kingdom warriors, who claim to be a neutral country, sent nine warriors to join as observers under invisible pressure, and allowed the joint anti-terrorism force to move freely within the Iron Kingdom after reporting to the country's general general for approval.
Faced with the fact that the original Konoha anti-terrorist force has transformed into a monster with transnational combat power, Kumogakure and Iwagakure once again hugged each other for warmth.
And this time, even Tetsushi, the commander of the Iwagakure Frost Country Expedition Force, who had an ambiguous relationship with the shogunate, did not come forward to stop it.
Because for a traditional ninja village, a multinational joint force is too terrifying.
Even Taki Ninja, who owned a tailed beast, was dismembered and split into two villages, the North and the South, by Uchiha Tokumitsu in the name of counter-terrorism. Now looking at the ninja world, the only force that still has the ability to say "no" to Uchiha Tokumitsu, except Myobokuyama and others Outside of the hidden forces, there are only Iwagakure and Kumogakure, so how can they believe that the alliance camp has no ambitions for them!
Especially in the eyes of the top officials of the two major ninja villages, the joint anti-terrorism force will definitely not be as simple as the so-called concerted anti-terrorism action declared by Uchiha Tokimitsu. Its significance is that the ninja forces located in the southern part of the ninja world have begun to substantively integrate, and in Agreement was reached on military action.
Therefore, the Third Raikage and Tsuchikage Onoki held a secret meeting and agreed that it was necessary to strengthen the relationship between the two parties, remove all historical obstacles that troubled both parties, and achieve military agreement as soon as possible.
Therefore, less than three days after the establishment of the joint anti-terrorism force, Iwagakure and Kumogakure issued a joint statement to promote their support for the anti-terrorism cause of the ninja world advocated by Uchiha Tokumitsu. At the same time, the two major ninja villages each selected ninjas from their own villages to form the Northern Alliance to fight. The troops are responsible for anti-terrorism operations in the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder, and are stationed in the area controlled by Kitaki Ninja.
As a result, the smell of gunpowder in the ninja world became even stronger.
…
"It's really strange..."
In a volcanic cave in the Land of Snow, Black Zetsu was recalling the intelligence memories brought back by White Zetsu.
In the past six months, the situation in the ninja world has changed so much that it feels strange to the "Madara's Will" who is trying his best to teach Nagato.
Although the confrontation and war between the two camps are conducive to consuming the strength of the major ninja villages, the united ninja camp also makes it feel bad.
Judging from its experience of observing the ninja world for thousands of years, it is actually not possible for the current ninja world to be unified, especially before the rise of Uchiha Tokko.
But now, as the North and South camps are at war with each other, the internal relations between the two sides have become more united due to the increasing war preparations.
This is especially true for the Southern Alliance camp controlled by Uchiha Tokumitsu.
If possible, Kurojutsu, who is used to staying in the dark, would not want to face Uchiha Tokumitsu, which would do no good to the weak Snow Country.
But according to the special version of Bai Jue disguised as the lord of the Snow Country, envoys from the Alliance and the Alliance camp have visited the Snow Country court many times, and the envoys from both sides are forcing the Snow Country to express its stance as soon as possible, otherwise there will be unbearable consequences. This happened.
Between the alliance camp and the allied camp that are vaguely opposed between the north and the south, there is not much room for the various small countries in the ninja world to play both sides.
Although Black Zetsu, who holds the White Zetsu troops, has the Rinnegan Eye Nagato at his side, and is wholeheartedly promoting the Eye of the Moon plan to save his mother, is not worried that the two major ninja village camps will drive him out of existence, but he cannot rely on the Snow Ninja Village to show up. Some forces resist the invasion and infiltration of the two camps.
"teacher!"
Nagato, whose red hair was so long that it covered his eyes, walked into the cave and bowed to Black Zetsu who was collapsed into a ball of mud.
"Nagato is here~"
Black Zetsu's eyes turned into crescents, and he casually summoned a White Zetsu and attached it to it.
"The commander of the Northern Alliance combat forces sent an ultimatum..."
Nagato took out a document from his arms and placed it in front of Black Zetsu.
Although Nagato is not very old now, he has been arranged by Black Zetsu as a consultant to the Snow Ninja Village and participates in the palace affairs of the Land of Snow, so Nagato has also been able to grow a lot.
"Is there no room for mediation..."
Even the strong-minded Hei Jue couldn't help but sigh.
It has always been planning secretly in the darkness, but it did not expect that it would have to face such a thorny problem now that it had finally used the name of "Madara's Will" to command Bai Zetsu to control the Snow Country.
Although it has been engaged in conspiracies for thousands of years, except for this time, all previous conspiracies against Indra ended in failure. Naturally, it is not willing to give up this opportunity to finally see the dawn of victory; in addition, due to its own He can't see the light, so Hei Jue is not good at this kind of alliance between national camps, and he doesn't know how to dance on an egg.
But it also understands that if it does not make a choice, the current power of the Snow Kingdom will never be able to withstand the torrent of ninja armies from the two camps.
"...Join the alliance between Kumogakure and Iwagakure!"
After much thought, Hei Jue finally made a decision.
"this……"
Nagato was a little surprised when he heard this.
Although he has grown up in this frozen country since he was a child, this does not mean that he does not understand the current situation in the ninja world.
He still has a relatively clear understanding of which side is more powerful, the alliance or the alliance.
"Although the alliance is powerful, we can gain a higher status by joining the alliance..."
Black Zetsu's explanation was a bit far-fetched, but Nagato still agreed.
…
After escaping from Konoha back to Mt. Myoki, Jiraiya spent some time in silence for training, and then returned to the shinobi world again to plan a plan to overthrow the shogunate.
Orochimaru's "public betrayal" gave him a very big blow.
But even so, Jiraiya still did not waver in his belief. With the encouragement of Fukasaku Sennin, he once again secretly sent the ninja frog troops to sneak into the ninja world, re-established bases in small buffer countries such as the Kingdom of Sichuan and the Kingdom of Birds, and allowed the ninja to The frogs took the initiative to contact black market forces in various places.
"We must unite all forces that can be united to oppose the tyrannical rule implemented by the shogunate in the ninja world."
Jiraiya said so.
Even for the Northern Alliance combat force established by Kumogakure and Iwagakure in name for anti-terrorism, Jiraiya also got in touch with its commander Huangtu through the intelligence frog, and agreed to meet in the actual control area of Kitataki Ninja Village in five days. Secret talks were held inside to discuss plans to attack the shogunate.
"As expected! The shogunate's rule is unpopular and is actually a countercurrent to the ninja world!"
The inspired Jiraiya said this to Fukasaku Sage after returning to Mt. Myoboku.
"...You can take charge of this matter yourself, but now the Great Immortal wants to see you."
After listening patiently to Jiraiya's bragging for a while, Fukasaku Sennin suddenly narrowed his eyes and said.
"Then go ahead~"
Jiraiya was also determined to claim credit in front of Toad Immortal.
However, what the Great Toad Master said this time made him a little surprised——
"Let me go to Longdi Cave?!"
Jiraiya said in disbelief.
"Grandmaster White Snake wants to see you..."
The voice of the Great Toad Immortal echoed in the palace.
"Why, why?"
Jiraiya asked stumblingly.
"Orochimaru stole the celestial scroll of Ryūchi Cave... So the White Snake Sage may change his position and support direct intervention in the ninja world, but he wants to see you first..."
Jiraiya was once again dumbfounded by the words of the Great Toad Sage.
"...It's so much fun!"
"Then the contract between Orochimaru and Ryūchidō has been terminated?"
Suddenly, Jiraiya thought of this problem.
"have no idea……"
The Great Toad Immortal shook his head.
"...But, is it dangerous to go to Longdi Cave?"
Jiraiya asked cautiously.
He is also aware of the mortal enemy relationship between Ryūchi Cave and Miaomu Mountain.
"As long as you find danger, you can return directly to Miaomu Mountain at any time through the void spell..."
The Great Toad Sage spit out a charm from his mouth and flew to Jiraiya under the control of chakra.
"...obey!"
Now that the words have come to this point, Jiraiya naturally has nothing to say.
