After completing this side mission, the four of Qi Zhen received many rewards, including a large amount of experience and points, which brought Zhang Chi's level directly to level 35, although the levels of Qi Zhen, Zhaka and Liang Sicheng were not as high. Improvement, but obviously this time Naruto's key growth mission line gave the three of them as much gain as a main mission.
Saving Asuma obviously did not violate the requirements of the system. He even received an extra reward for completing a result that was not achieved in the plot, and was counted as a hidden mission.
Four people once gathered together to discuss related issues, and came to a conclusion that was just smoke and mirrors. No one knew whether it would be judged as a violation of the requirements if this continued. For the sake of the Lord, stop trying to break through the bottom line of the system.
This point was mainly brought up by Liang Sicheng. Including when dealing with Orochimaru before, Qi Zhen had twice tried to break the rules of the system and cause trouble. His little heart couldn't stand it if this continued.
Of course, Qi Zhen still said her promise, but whether she really thought so in her heart, I'm afraid only God knows.
After returning to Konoha Village, the four of them took some time to relax as they should.
It's not that there is nothing to do. The Hokage's official residence still releases some simple commission tasks on a regular basis. They are available at level b\c\d, but not those above.
The four of them knew very well that they were now waiting for other main plots to advance, and those that had nothing to do with them and that they could not participate in or interfere with, could only be prepared here.
Prepare for the arrival of the next time node.
However, Liang Sicheng had an in-depth talk with Qi Zhen once during this period.
The main problem is that he thinks that the current enemy is too simple, or in other words, everything is going too smoothly, but there is no movement on Lin Biao's side, and he doesn't know what kind of progress is going on on their side. situation.
Speaking of everything going well, Qi Zhen actually felt the same as him, but if he hadn't pointed it out, Qi Zhen probably wouldn't have cared too much about it. He thought it was because the four of them were too busy. The hallucinations in my mind.
Since I have nothing to do, let's take a good look at the information the team currently has.
According to the main plot, there should be two things going on at this time. The first is that Sasuke officially overturns Orochimaru and forms the Eagle Team to start preparing for revenge against Itachi. The second is that as one of the three ninjas, Naruto Jiraiya, the teacher, is preparing to go to the rain ninja alone to investigate Pain's affairs.
The result of the former was that Sasuke completely killed Deidara and completed his revenge on Itachi, and then obtained the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Under the guidance of Obito, he completely turned black and joined the Akatsuki organization. His ultimate goal became the destruction of the wood. Ye, the result of the latter was that Jiraiya was killed by his former disciple, leaving key information to Naruto. Later, Naruto went to Toad to learn celestial arts, which triggered the subsequent plot of Pain destroying Konoha.
That's basically it.
Qi Zhen never told his teammates about the foreshadowing he had laid with Uchiha Itachi, but he knew clearly in his heart that this matter was destined not to develop like the original plot. As for what it would become, it still depends on the action. How to choose Uchiha Itachi, the key figure.
They had absolutely no way to get involved in Jiraiya's affairs. The main reason was that even in the original plot, Jiraiya secretly went to the Rain Ninja Village. The only person who knew the news was Tsunade as the Hokage, so they had no way to get involved.
But this part of the plot is very important to the development of the entire Naruto world. Even if they want to do this, they can't do it. It will definitely be deemed by the system board as interfering with the game process. By then, we don't know what the entire story will look like. .
For these four people, stopping Pain from attacking Konoha, and then following the development of the plot, they will probably truly exert their power before the Fourth Ninja War, that is, after the Five Shadows Conference.
Before that, they could only try their best to weaken and influence the forces of the enemy camp. There were only a few key figures among them. Obito, who went by the pseudonym Abi, Zetsu, who was still in the form of a plant, and Yamato beside him. .
As for the others, they can only be left to Lin Biao and the others who are hiding in the dark.
However, Liang Sicheng's worries are not unreasonable. Now that the game elimination mechanism is becoming more and more abnormal, it makes no sense for the system to set up a game that allows players to successfully pass the level.
The previous Deidara and Scorpion, as well as the current Hidan and Kakuzu, are too simple for them, and completely do not meet the team's current difficulty requirements, unless the difficulty of fighting Pain is greatly increased in the future. Beyond a certain point, it was hard for Qi Zhen to imagine how it would end.
The end here is not them, but the system.
If the team really used their own understanding of the entire story and game to prevent Kaguya Otsutsuki from having a chance to come to this world, then this game would be too simple.
But now they have at least one other key figure they can use to break through, which is another mixed blessing for Qi Zhen.
Danzo.
This old man who has been hiding in the darkness of Konoha actually controls a large part of the village's military force, but it has not been revealed yet because the plot has progressed to this point.
Although this character is very important, it is not a key figure that affects the development of the entire plot. If they can control this person in advance, or even kill him, then the next time Pain invades Konoha, he will not be able to use the Shinra Tensei to destroy Konoha. In that case, it would be Tsunade who would participate in the Five Shadows meeting. Even if they couldn't stop it, the only person who would participate in the meeting would be Kakashi. After all, after Danzo was killed by Sasuke, Kakashi was the best choice for Hokage.
Qi Zhen's proposal was interrupted by Liang Sicheng waving his hand halfway.
Liang Sicheng said that I came to you to ask you to analyze what is wrong. It would be better for you to directly interfere with the game process.
Qi Zhen laughed and said nothing more.
"I'm telling you, don't make your own decisions anymore. I've made you scared." Looking at his expression, Liang Sicheng knew that Qi Zhen was not holding back anything, so he said anxiously.
"Okay, okay, that's what I said, but we have so little information now, how can we confirm this guess?" Qi Zhen asked.
Liang Sicheng scratched his head: "If I knew, I wouldn't come to you to discuss countermeasures."
Well, in the end, the two people communicated for a long time, but they still could only go back to the old path of taking one step at a time.
The two of them joked for a while, and Liang Sicheng finally left Qi Zhen's room with a little regret.
As soon as he left, Qi Zhen's expression turned solemn.
What he didn't tell Liang Sicheng was that he actually had much more profound things to think about. From the time he returned to the village to now, there must have been undercurrents surging under the seemingly calm situation. Qi Zhen had even begun to have some thoughts. A feeling of suffocation.
He never underestimates the system, nor does he underestimate every game he plays.
"Xiao Bai." Qi Zhen called from the bottom of her heart.
"Here, you finally remembered me?" Xiaobai's teasing voice sounded in his heart.
"Don't make trouble, I'm still used to conquering games by myself most of the time, and I don't want to just use your golden finger." Qi Zhen said.
"Tch, don't you have to point at me to save your life at the critical moment?" Xiaobai asked back.
Qi Zhen was a little embarrassed and simply ignored her.
"Now you can even master the yin and yang, which is pretty good, and you've made some progress." Qi Zhen said.
"I can't learn anything good from being with you guys all the time." Xiaobai said.
"That's Lao Wang, you can't count me in, I'm a gentleman." Qi Zhen said.
"Stop talking nonsense, do you have anything else to ask me?" Xiaobai said.
"This has been the case since we entered the game. You have also experienced it. I feel something is not right. Based on the existing information, can you help me analyze where the problem lies." Qi Zhen stopped joking. His mind became serious.
"Wait a moment." Xiaobai said.
After a while, Xiaobai's voice sounded again: "No, everything is normal. The feedback you received from the system rewards was also very timely. This proves that you have not violated the progress of the main process, at least within the acceptable range of the system. , which means that the system does not have to force corrections for you to change the process, resulting in the failure to issue rewards."
Qi Zhen pondered for a moment and then said, "What if we complete certain tasks in advance?"
"Look at the relevance. If the connection with the main plot is not obvious, for example, this incident between Hidan and Kakuzu, if you kill Hidan and Kakuzu in advance, it will only slow down Naruto's development of new ninjutsu. Progress, that's fine. If Naruto's ninjutsu cannot be developed because of killing the two of them, it would be serious." Xiaobai said.
Qi Zhen nodded: "Thank you, I'll think about it again and ask you if I have any questions."
It took him more than half a day to think about it.
In the evening, when the sun was setting, Qi Zhen finally recovered from that state, and then rubbed her sore eyebrows.
If Sasuke didn't kill Itachi, but Itachi found a way to tell Sasuke all the truth about the matter, what would the situation be like?
There probably won't be much change on Orochimaru's side, he's still going to die, and I'm afraid the ability to reincarnate in the earth won't be in the hands of Yakushi Kabuto.
It is conceivable that Itachi will never allow such a dangerous existence to continue to follow Orochimaru's footsteps. In this case, this potential opponent will not exist.
As long as Yamato is protected, Zetsu will not be able to use the genes of the first Hokage to copy the White Zetsu army. If this continues, it will be impossible for Obito to bring Sasuke to the Five Kage Conference, and even the Akatsuki organization will be destroyed because it is not ready to be completed. There will be no ninja war.
No, looking further ahead, if there was no brotherly feud between Sasuke and Itachi, then Sasuke would not go to Yunlei Gorge to capture the Eight-Tails as Obito wanted, and then the Five Shadows Conference would not be held at all...
It's broken, things are serious...
