Chapter 324 Departure

Several figures were running back and forth in the forest. Due to the luxuriant trees, the sun's rays could not penetrate in, so that the forest was shrouded in a dark and cold color.

"Master Raikage, after passing through this forest, we can go to the nearest port and return to the Land of Thunder from there."

Along beside the Fourth Raikage, a plump male Kumonin Jominin said.

"Understood, hurry up and return to the Kingdom of Thunder as soon as possible."

Fourth Raikage nodded, and his speed increased sharply.

"Yes, Raikage-sama!"

The accompanying Yunyin Jonnin responded heavily, and also increased his speed, running behind the fourth Raikage.

They went out with the Fourth Raikage this time because of a secret technique passed down from generation to generation in Sugino Village.

The effect of this kind of secret technique will make Fourth Raikage's Raiden Ninjutsu more comprehensive. Therefore, after learning of the existence of Sugino Village's secret technique, Fourth Raikage couldn't wait to lead several Yunyin jounin to attack Sugino Village.

After that, there was a battle with the ninja who was chasing up by Sugino Village. Sugino Village was very eager to get back the secret scroll.

But due to strength, we can only do some harassment along the way.

Therefore, the Fourth Raikage was not that worried about the next journey back to the Land of Thunder.

At this moment, the fourth generation of Raikage and other cloud ninjas who were running towards the outside of the forest suddenly heard a strange noise coming from behind their ears.

All the Kumoin Jnin, including the Fourth Raikage, became vigilant, stopped, turned around, and looked into the depths of the forest that had turned dark at some point, like the mouth of a ferocious beast, which made people feel a sense of fear.

"Who is playing tricks there? Get out!"

A Yunyin jounin questioned the dark forest.

"hehe."

The cold ridicule floated into the ears of Yunyin Ninja from the darkness of the forest.

Pairs of red eyes, like hungry wolves, light up in the darkness.

Standing or standing upside down on a tree branch, with five people as a group, they released a strong momentum towards the fourth generation of Raikage and others.

"I thought that the people who snatched the secret art of Sugino Village were just a few jounin from Yun Yin, but I didn't expect it to be the Fourth Raikage-dono in person."

"Listen to your tone, aren't you the ninjas of Sugino Village?"

Facing the five people who were hiding in the darkness with only five pairs of eyes exposed, Yun Yin asked with a stern voice.

"We are hunters employed by Sugi Village. There is no village and no owner. We are people who use people's money to eliminate disasters. This time, we came here to retrieve the scroll of secret art from Sugi Village. Hand it over."

One of them replied in a gloomy tone.

"They say don't play tricks there!"

Standing beside Raikage Fourth Raikage, Jominin Kumogakure drew out the ninja sword behind him without hesitation, and rushed towards the five people in the darkness.

The five people in the darkness immediately disappeared on the branches like black smoke, and then, a violent white light enveloped everything in front of them.

Not only the cloud hidden ninja who rushed up, but also the fourth generation of Raikage who was behind was also obstructed by the strong light.

"What is this? Is it a trick?"

Raikage the Fourth Raikage frowned and said something coldly.

"The cage has been set up, and it's time to hunt!"

The cold voice came from the darkness again, with a mocking meaning inside.

"Damn it, how dare you look down on us!"

Another Yunyin Jnin rushed out, formed seals with both hands, and began to release ninjutsu at the source of the sound.

"Thunderstorm Thunder Rat Shock!"

After the rattling sound, a large number of thunder blades spun and flew at an extremely fast speed, cutting into the darkness, trying to catch all the ninjas in the darkness.

However, after he finished performing ninjutsu, he suddenly screamed in pain.

A huge worm-shaped lump protruded from his chest, pushing up his ninja suit.

Under the unbelievable gaze of Yun Yin, the worm-shaped lump on his chest swelled again, and exploded with a bang. In the flames, there was only a pile of charred flesh and blood scattered around.

Seeing this scene, Yunyin ninjas shrank their pupils and became furious.

"Nikai!"

Calling the name of the dead Kumoin Jnin, the other Kumogakure ninjas, including the Fourth Raikage, were all angry at the scene.

Killing Yunyin Nuannuan in front of them in such a vicious way was tantamount to provoking the majesty of Yunyin Village.

"See the end of the attack on us, hand over the scroll of the secret art of Sugzhi Village, Rao Er will not die!"

"Die to me!"

Responding to the ninja in the dark was the fourth Raikage's furious Raiden fist.

There are many people who can make Yunyin compromise, but Yunyin's dignity cannot be provoked by a group of lawless bounty hunters.

Bringing dense tears all over his body, the fourth generation of Raikage who has entered the Thunder Dungeon armor mode not only integrates offense and defense, but also has a very exaggerated increase in speed.

Turned into lightning, rushed into the depths of the dark forest, and threw his fist at a piece of land.

Boom!

The earth exploded.

A figure jumped out of the exploding ground in embarrassment, looking at Fourth Raikage solemnly.

"Water Escape Water Dragon Bullet!"

A huge water dragon rises from the ground and descends from the sky to attack the Fourth Raikage who is about to continue attacking.

The fourth Raikage snorted heavily, his pupils were already covered by the lightning, and only a flash of lightning was seen, the body of the fourth Raikage had disappeared from the original place, and the water dragon rushed into the open space, forming a body of water.

"This speed and power are really exaggerated. As expected of Gokage."

The local boy who escaped by chance looked at the floor that was smashed by the fourth Raikage with his fist. If he was one step later, his head might explode in pieces.

"Master Raikage!"

The rest of the Yunyin jounin also rushed over to assist, one of them was about to release ninjutsu, when suddenly a large insect-shaped lump protruded from his chest, which was hideous and terrifying.

"ah!"

The release of ninjutsu was stopped in time, so that the worm-shaped mass did not expand further and reach the point of explosion.

But that Yunyin Jnin was also pale, his body was twitching on the ground in pain, and cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead.

The Fourth Raikage, who was thinking about continuing to fight the enemy, heard the screams of his subordinates, couldn't help but look, and saw that still a weird worm-shaped mass occupied the subordinate's chest, and was only one step away from exploding.

"Hehe, rather than dealing with us, it's better to save your own companions, Raikage-sama. If you are willing to hand over the secret art of Sugino Village, I don't mind showing mercy to spare his life."

The insect man who appeared next to the soil man, as a leader, talked to the fourth generation of Raikage, and smiled.

"Damn it!"

Fourth Raikage's face was gloomy, but the look on his face showed dissatisfaction, and he did not give in to Chong Nan.

The worm man also knew this, and sighed, this task of 80 million taels of bounty is really difficult to do.

Unexpectedly, his blaster was useless against the fourth generation of Raikage.

It is likely that the chakra circulation is too fast, and the blasters have no time to absorb and hatch, thus posing a threat to the fourth generation of Raikage.

However, if the fourth generation of Raikage wants to avoid the blasters all the time, then they must maintain the thunder armor mode and consume a lot of chakra.

Generally speaking, this will soon become exhausted due to insufficient chakra.

But the problem is, the Chakra of the fourth generation of Raikage is at the level of a tailed beast.

Even if they run out of chakra, I am afraid that the fourth generation of Raikage will still retain much more chakra than ordinary people.

Like his father Sandai Raikage, he is a genuine humanoid tailed beast.

Wanting to fight a war of attrition with the fourth generation of Raikage is obviously the most stupid approach.

"If you want to exchange for the life of the next attribute, then hand over the secret art scroll of Sugzhi Village. Otherwise, in that state, your subordinates will die of pain in a few days. This is the way to contact us. Welcome to trade, Your Excellency Raikage, we will always congratulate you."

The worm man threw a scroll on the ground, then jumped back with the soil man, jumped into the darkness, and disappeared.

"Are you okay? You look tired."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Baishi was sitting in the living room at home, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he turned his head and saw Liuli just coming back from the outside, with a deeply tired expression on his face, so he asked a question of concern.

Liuli glanced at Baishi, and replied: "It's nothing, arranging those little devils is really troublesome."

refers to the thirty or so Uchiha children brought from Konoha to the kingdom of ghosts.

Ordinary little ghosts are not so difficult to arrange. These thirty or so children, regardless of the purity of their blood, but there is no doubt that they are all members of the same family, and they have more or less inherited the Uchiha clan's Sharingan Xuesui Genkai.

In addition, the research department of Ghost Country has developed a method to increase the probability of opening Sharingan without side effects. In other words, it is estimated that more than 90% of these thirty or so children who have not yet grown up will be able to open Sharingan in the future. It would not be a difficult task for all of them to open Sharingan if they were more self-sufficient.

Because of this, neither Liuli nor the staff of Ghost Country could treat these thirty-odd children who had the limit of blood inheritance as ordinary people. From the moment they make a sound, they are fundamentally different from ordinary people.

The world is so unfair.

But because of this, the responsibilities and obligations they will have to bear in the future will be heavier than ordinary people.

"Isn't this a very good thing? Otherwise, it is not an easy task to spread the branches and leaves in the kingdom of ghosts just relying on the ninjas of the Uchiha clan you brought to the kingdom of ghosts. With this new force, after ten or twenty years, you can see very good results."

Because of the frequent outbreaks of wars, ninja men and women generally marry and have children at an early age.

When Liuli was pregnant, she was only twenty years old. In this era of extremely high death rates in wars, she was considered a relatively late type.

"Maybe."

Liuli responded lightly.

"So, did you tell them about Konoha Uchiha's extermination?"

Shiraishi asked Liuli while playing with the flintlock gun in his hand.

Liuli hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"I said it, after all, it's a bit unfair to them to hide this kind of thing. However, after that, they will be a little busy to channel their inner hatred. They are crying and making noise. It's really noisy."

Liuli seldom complained, but faced with dozens of children who became crying and fussing after hearing the facts of the genocide, she would also feel a big headache.

She can't talk, can't fight, it's more headache for her than fighting thousands of sand ninja.

"Don't worry about this matter. The Ghost Country has a special children's psychological therapy center. Let them go there to relieve their emotions first, and then arrange them to go to the ninja school."

Regarding this matter, Shiraishi is not good at judging anything.

In this era, whether it is an adult or a child, the most vulnerable thing is the heart.

Especially the Uchiha clan, who can use negative emotions to open their eyes, so it is even more necessary to carry out emotional counseling for them.

Using negative emotions to open your eyes is too easy to be exploited by the darkness in your heart, coupled with the sudden acquisition of too much power, the extreme and aloof psychology will naturally dominate.

This is a common problem of many ninjas of the Konoha Uchiha clan.

"I'm already making arrangements. So, how about the truth investigation of the Uchiha clan's genocide? Was it Uchiha Itachi or Konoha?"

Liuli's tone became stiff, even though she said she was not talking, she still had a grudge in her heart.

No matter how stupid the Konoha Uchiha Clan is, it is still the blood of the Uchiha Clan, and they perished in the hands of their own people. What is going on?

So, for others, the Uchiha extermination incident is already history, but in Liuli's view, this does not mean the end.

She wants to know the whole truth about the Uchiha extermination.

"According to the information provided by Konoha's informant, most of them can be restored with evidence. Among them, there are two things worth mentioning."

Shiraishi remembered something and said.

"Which two things?"

"Kakashi only found out about it recently, because he became the Minister of Anbu, and Danzo valued him even more than before. Therefore, Kakashi took this opportunity to look through the records of the root operations in the past. About seven years ago, the root began to pay attention to Uchiha Itachi."

"Seven years ago? At that time, Uchiha Itachi was still in school, right?"

Liuli frowned.

She and Shiraishi didn't know about this matter. There were people they placed in the Anbu, but the review method of Genbu was too strict, and it was impossible for anyone to betray Danzo.

Not only do people's emotions need to be annihilated at the root, but also the sealing technique is used to control them.

The root and the Anbu are completely different departments, even though the root nominally belongs to the branch of the Anbu.

"Although it's a bit strange, there is indeed such a record in the root. The person in charge is the oil girl Ryoma of the Yume clan. After Orochimaru left the root in the past, he has been the deputy commander of the root, and Danzo's trusted right-hand man. It is not only the result of Kakashi's investigation. Konoha Ninsuzuki Teak, who recently joined us, was the guide of Uchiha Itachi in the past. It also revealed that the root instructed him to monitor Uchiha Itachi."

It is conceivable that things that were not sure at first suddenly became clear.

It is also completely confirmed that Uchiha Itachi has traces of being used by the roots.

This may have something to do with his childhood experience, and he has too much negative consciousness. Such a person, being targeted by Danzo, Shinobi, and used as a tool, has become a matter of course.

"What about the second thing?"

"Three years ago, Uchiha Itachi took the Chunin Exam alone, and soon after, he was recruited into Anbu by the Third Hokage."

"Participating in the Chunin Exam alone does not meet the standards of the Konoha Chunin Exam. Even if you join Anbu, you must work as a team. Itachi Uchiha has not grown to the point where he does not need teammates."

Liuli made an objective evaluation.

She also heard from her daughter Kazuki about this matter, but Uchiha Itachi was just a relatively good ninja of the Konoha Uchiha clan at the time, so she didn't care.

"More than that, Kakashi recently found out that after Uchiha Itachi joined Anbu, there were signs of contact with Nebu. Therefore, based on the signs before and after the Uchiha clan's extermination, it can be basically concluded that this is a long-planned plan of Nebu Danzo. The third Hokage's attitude was hesitant, and he indulged Danzo's actions. At the critical moment, he still focused on 'balance'... probably because he was too old and could no longer control the Uchiha clan who had the heart of a coup."

Therefore, the Uchiha extermination is the product of the inaction of the third Hokage.

Danzo took advantage of this gap, took advantage of the weakness of the three generations of Hokage, and took advantage of the darkness in Uchiha Itachi's heart, and completed the Uchiha plan to exterminate the clan.

Plans go hand in hand.

If it wasn't for his own people, Shiraishi would also be overwhelmed by this plan to destroy the enemy.

But Shiraishi didn't know how to evaluate Danzo for the matter of breaking his own arm.

Should it be said that it is really for the peace of Konoha, or to implement the policies left by the Second Hokage?

But then again, is the second Hokage's will to stay behind really hope that the later Hokage will wipe out the Uchiha clan?

This kind of thing is no longer testable.

"Then, what happened to Akatsuki? After the Uchiha Itachi exterminated the clan, he immediately joined the Akatsuki organization. Akatsuki's information is too well-informed."

Liuli was puzzled by this.

Different from them who were born in Konoha, it is not that simple for Akatsuki to place his own staff in Konoha.

Unless it is through the line of Orochimaru.

But according to Kakashi's report, the former Orochimaru department, before and after the Uchiha extermination, has always been honest and responsible, without any abnormal behavior.

"It's very simple. I have made assumptions before. Either Akatsuki secretly colluded with Danzo, or the Akatsuki organization, like us, has placed informants in Konoha. But the latter is unlikely. Therefore, using Uchiha Itachi to eliminate Uchiha is likely to be a joint decision of Danz and Akatsuki. They colluded secretly. This kind of cooperation may also be maintained after Uchiha's genocide."

"In the end, I still died on my own?"

Liuli doesn't care who is planning behind the scenes. What she feels is worthless is that the Uchiha clan, under the instigation of outsiders, let their own people wipe out the clan.

This is where Liuli feels the most angry.

"If you feel unhappy, when the agreement with Akatsuki is over, then you will have the same result if you personally eliminate the traitors of the Uchiha clan."

"I don't need to do it myself, Akatsuki will take the lead in cleaning up that traitor in the end."

Liuli sneered.

If there is Akatsuki's action behind the Uchiha genocide incident, then Uchiha Itachi was just sold to Akatsuki by Nemo.

When his value is used up, no matter whether it is Root, Akatsuki, or Konoha, there will be no place for Uchiha Itachi.

The Uchiha clan in the land of ghosts also hated Uchiha Itachi deeply, and would never accept such a traitor who betrayed the family.

It can be said that it is a complete homeless person.

"As you please."

Shiraishi is not very interested in Itachi Uchiha, and there should be only one and a half of Akatsuki worth paying attention to.

One is Nagato, and the other half is a guy who is all black and not slippery, called Hei Ze.

That guy seems to be completely different from Shiro, who has inherited Madara's will. Even if he hides Madara's body in the kingdom of ghosts, there is no guarantee that the other party will not come up with some tricks to get it back.

So, what to do with Madara's corpse became a headache for Shiraishi.

Rationally speaking, destroying Madara's body is the best way, but this is Uchiha Madara's body, and Shiraishi doesn't want to let go of such a treasure.

Even if you can't get what's in Madara's brain, the corpse alone has extremely high research value.

"By the way, I'm going to do something next, and I may have to go out for a few days before I can come back."

Baishi took a sip of tea, put the flintlock in his hand on the coffee table casually, and stood up from the sofa in the living room.

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to recruit Tsunade-sensei, this time I plan to have a frank talk with her."

"Success her?"

Liuli was a little surprised.

"Well, Konoha has been corrupted. If she can agree with my ideals, then not only can Konoha be further attacked, but Konoha's orthodox status will also be questioned, and another general can be added to the kingdom of ghosts."

Baishi said so, looking confident.

Although she didn't know what Baishi was thinking, Liuli still had a skeptical attitude.

However, Tsunade has been away from Konoha for many years, so maybe there is a real possibility of instigating rebellion.

Honestly speaking, in terms of strength alone, Tsunade is the icing on the cake for Oni Nation. Lin, who has learned Immortal Art and Obito, and has completed Immortal Art and Perfect Renzhuri, is not weaker than Tsunade in terms of strength, and may even be stronger.

But from the perspective of a medical ninja, Tsunade's status is indeed a type that is difficult to be replaced by others.

It's just that Liuli is not particularly optimistic about the results of Shiraishi's recruitment of Tsunade.

The Senju clan is the purest faction of Konoha. Even though the popularity of Senju is gone now, the fetters left by the first generation of Hokage still involve the heart of the Sannin, preventing her from betraying Konoha.

The questioning in Liuli's eyes did not make Baishi flinch.

"I have to give it a try, right? It's fine if I don't agree. This will just stop my thoughts... After all, there will be no way for us to have enough leeway to be merciful to the enemy like the Battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind."

"You just need to be mentally prepared for this."

Ruri also felt that Shiraishi was too conniving with Tsunade.

Shiraishi curled his lips. Compared to him, Liuli also let go of his disciple in the Konoha period in the previous battle. In terms of sensibility, the two of them are not the same.

However, no matter how emotional you are, it is based on your own ability to grasp the situation.

In the upcoming battle, not only the Five Great Nations, but also the Akatsuki Organization will also be involved.

Therefore, there is no way to continue to be soft-hearted to the past teachers and disciples.

Liuli is also aware of this point. Next time, even a disciple, as long as he appears on the opposite side, he will kill the opponent without mercy.

If they can't be in the same camp now, then the ending... No matter what, it may be a result that Shiraishi will deeply regret.

"In addition, tell Asuka that the ninja tool he modified based on the flintlock gun is very good, but also warn him not to be complacent, he still has a lot to learn."

"It would be even better if he could be so focused on learning ninja skills."

Looking at the flintlock gun on the tea table, Liuli was both pleased and regretful about her eldest son who was not doing his job properly.

It's not that it's not good to be a researcher, but Liuli never thought that this would be something a ninja of the Uchiha clan should do.

The battlefield and battles are the meaning of the existence of the Uchiha clan.

"Everyone has his own aspirations. Besides, there are no rules and regulations. After becoming a researcher, you can't be the patriarch of the Uchiha clan. Maybe that kid will exceed our expectations in the future. Then, please take care of the family. This time, I will also go to Hoshino Village to see that guy Raiminamaru. The matter in the country of the wind is over, and he can also be transferred from Hoshino Village."

Baishi smiled, said goodbye to Liuli, and walked towards the entrance.
