Chapter 400 Four Sides (1)

A train roared past with white smoke beeping.

Yiji was sitting by the window in the single car, with a black briefcase on the table in front of her, and her dark eyes were looking at the lush forest scenery outside the window.

This section of the track is built along the forest, allowing passengers to enjoy the beauty of the forest.

Among the dense and lush forest leaves, there are many fresh pink and white flowers.

The weather in March is no longer cold, and everything is starting to recover.

In fact, compared to the scenery outside the window, Kazuhime felt the magic of the train he was riding on more.

For ninjas, the world of ninja is neither big nor small.

Many areas are artificial undeveloped areas, inhabited by all kinds of beasts and poisonous insects. Ordinary people want to cross mountains and mountains, from one country to another. Not to mention safety issues, the time required for walking alone is enough to make people daunting.

Based on her standards, it would take two days to reach the Land of Fire by running all her strength from the Land of Ghosts.

Most ninjas take three days.

And her full sprint speed was much faster than the train she was riding on.

This is very inconvenient for ordinary people to travel to foreign countries.

The birth of the train may change this situation.

Since two years ago, the number of carriages in the Kingdom of Ghosts has become extremely small, basically to the point of being invisible.

With the introduction of government policies, trains have also become a new type of transportation that replaces horse-drawn carriages in the minds of the domestic people.

This is not only favored by the domestic people, but also has a very strong ability to induce businessmen from abroad.

This is a good thing for the future development of the ninja world.

The more developed the industry, the more inefficient and cheap manpower will become in some respects.

The skill of one person to master the operation of the machine can be equal to the manual ability of a dozen or even dozens of people in the past.

When it comes to high-end industries, it is an area beyond the reach of manual capabilities and can only be guided by machines.

The only pity is that the current use of trains has not been popularized in other countries, and it has only been popularized in the land of ghosts.

Leaving such a convenient environment and entering a country with low industrial capacity, Kazuki was able to deeply understand how inconvenient life was in the past.

With the rise of industrial capabilities, countries will sooner or later fully open their doors to trade in the new era.

However, the future is full of uncertainties for this kind of thing, at least the traditional nobles are still hesitating.

Because mastering knowledge is a very dangerous term in this age when the mind is not open.

Especially to spread knowledge to the lower classes.

This will have extremely bad effects on the rule of the upper class.

So far, the rule of the nobles has relied on various monopolies to ensure their hereditary status and not be influenced by the lower classes.

Once a part of the monopoly is cracked, it means that its own interests will be absorbed by the lower layers.

Of course, not all aristocrats have this ancient traditional thinking and firmly believe that they are the rulers of the "one line of life".

It's just that the proportion of these nobles in the overall upper class is too small to shake the general trend.

It also needs to add fire to completely cut off the illusions in some people's hearts.

And this fire can only be a raging fire called 'War'!

This time is three years, four years, or five years.

In short, the time for peace will not be too long.

Although she is not a high-level military officer, Kazuhime can occasionally pass some changes, and perceive that the accumulation of the ghost country is close to saturation.

Before that, a 'bridge' to the Land of Fire must be built!

The train headed all the way to the western coastal area, crossing forests, mountains and rivers where ice and snow melted, and arrived at the site of the coastal city of the country of ghosts around afternoon, and stopped.

"Miss, we have arrived at the site, and the cruise ship to the country of Waves at the port is also ready and ready to depart at any time."

The door of the single car was opened, and Kado, wearing sunglasses, walked in, and said respectfully to Kazuki.

"Thank you, let's go."

Yiji held the black briefcase in her hand, her long black hair fluttered lightly, and her pretty face was full of indifference.

"The Land of Waves..."

Since three years ago, the Nami Country Agricultural and Industrial Group took the rebellious action to overthrow the local nobles, the Fire Country Daming Mansion and Konoha Ninja Village have not relaxed about this organization for a moment.

Although Konoha advocates the principle of non-active interference, the ninjas from the land of ghosts, who are directly stationed in such a place so close to the land of fire, still make Hizhan feel restless.

The only dispute between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Ghosts is the control over the Kingdom of Wave.

Very fortunately, because the Kingdom of Demons acted too domineeringly in the Kingdom of Waves, after overthrowing the local nobles of the Kingdom of Waves with the Agricultural and Industrial Corps, they immediately wanted to steal the achievements of the Agricultural and Industrial Corps and swallow the fruits of victory for themselves, achieving the goal of indirectly controlling the Kingdom of Waves.

It's a pity that the top management of the Agricultural and Industrial Corps had the foresight to recruit the Lei Guangtuan from the underground black market one step ahead.

The well-known Lei Guang Regiment, under the premise of sufficient rewards, is not afraid of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and has disrupted the Kingdom of Ghosts' secret operations in the territory of the Kingdom of Waves several times.

This also made Ri Zhan look at Lei Guangtuan with admiration.

There are very few bounty hunters with integrity in the underground black market, but the integrity is extremely high and the strength is very strong. There are even fewer bounty hunters who are not afraid of ninjas from big countries.

Lei Guang Group is one of the bounty hunter groups.

Especially in the past few years, they have been fighting against the Kingdom of Ghosts, and with their reputation in the underground black market, the Lei Guang Tuan has been able to stand up to the Xuanyuan crowd.

Even if Konoha's actions in the land of waves, he had to look at Lei Guangtuan's face.

Fortunately, when it comes to the issue of the Land of Waves, Lei Guangtuan was hired by the Agricultural and Industrial Group and stood on the same front as Konoha. Otherwise, the Agricultural and Industrial Group would have been swallowed up by the Kingdom of Demons.

Sitting in the office, Ri Zhan picked up the information file about the Lei Guang Group's intelligence and fell into deep thought.

Lei Guang Group.

The leader's name is Chino.

is a young woman, about thirteen or fourteen years old in appearance, but her real age is unknown.

Ninjutsu is to summon a powerful red dragon, which is suspected to be some kind of unknown blood succession limit.

There are not many members under his command, but each of them has a special secret technique and blood succession limit, which can be said to be one of the most terrifying bounty hunter teams in the underground black market.

The level of danger is not inferior to that of Xuan Yuanzhong who once defeated Sannin Jiraiya.

Looking at the huge red dragon captured in the photo, it is the ninjutsu model summoned by the leader of the Lei Guang Group.

Ri Zhan looked at this huge red dragon, and always felt that this technique was a little familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere.

However, he couldn't remember where he had heard of this kind of ninjutsu, so Ri Zhan gave up thinking about it and confirmed the type of the blood succession limit of the leader of the Leiguang regiment. This kind of thing can be analyzed by the intelligence department.

But even with the strong intervention of the Lei Guang Group, the situation of the Agricultural and Industrial Group in the Kingdom of Bo is not optimistic.

The reason why the kingdom of ghosts is strong is not because their ninjas are scattered soldiers, but in groups.

What's more, as far as Hirizhan knows, Chiba Kazuhime, the leader of the ninja who has settled in the kingdom of ghosts, has never really done anything so far.

The other party is the daughter of Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri. He once defeated his second son Asuma Sarutobi with three or two moves, and his strength is unfathomable.

Ri Zhan's eyes showed a serious look.

How to deal with the ninjas of the Nation of Ghosts who are rooted in the Nation of Waves has become a difficult problem faced by the Agricultural Workers Group and the Nation of Fire at the same time.

But if you want to completely eradicate this hidden danger, if you don't repel Chiba Kazuhime, then this matter will be out of the question.

The opponent is probably a ninja of the same level as Kakashi.

"Master Naruto."

A figure suddenly landed in front of Ri Zhan's desk.

Wearing an animal mask, with a sheathed dagger on his back.

It was Kakashi.

He held a document in his hand and placed it in front of Ri Zhan.

Seeing Kakashi approaching, Hirizhan nodded, instead of picking up the document, he asked, "What's the result of the investigation?"

Kakashi mulled over his words, and replied: "As Hokage-sama expected, according to Anbu's investigation these days, there are indeed some problems with the other party's identity. I didn't expect a Chunin to be able to hide so well in the village, and it was not noticed until now."

"If it wasn't for him always deliberately approaching the 'target', I wouldn't suspect him."

Ri Zhan opened the file, and there was a photo prominently on it.

The photo shows an adult man with a gentle temperament, with a gentle smile and a very friendly smile.

The name is Mizuki.

is a teacher at Konoha Ninja School.

Although Kakashi is not much different in age, but limited by talent, he can only stop at Chunin, and then pass the assessment and enter the ninja school for coaching.

Before he entered the ninja school to teach, the opponent's resume had some bad records.

During a mission, one of his companions was injured and unable to move. In order to complete the mission as soon as possible, Mizuki chose to brutally kill his companion to prevent his companion from dragging down the team and causing the mission to fail.

Then this incident was investigated and severely criticized by the upper management.

In view of the good attitude later, the upper management decided to give the other party another chance.

After entering the ninja school to teach, the other party also taught many outstanding students.

In view of this, the monitoring of Mizuki was withdrawn.

But unexpectedly, shortly after the surveillance was withdrawn, Mizuki became active again.

This time his target became bigger, closer to Nine Tails Jinchuriki, with unknown intentions.

Although it was well concealed, the people in Anbu still noticed it.

However, this time Hizan did not startle the enemy, but asked Kakashi to monitor the other party himself, wanting to see what Mizuki's purpose was when he approached Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

According to Kakashi and Anbu's investigation, Mizuki approached Nine-Tails Jinchuriki because of someone's instigation.

Behind him, there is a hidden line.

"So, have you found out the identity of the person behind him? Who is the spy?"

Hi Zhan asked seriously.

It is no small matter that the teacher at the ninja school has a problem.

Ninja School is Konoha's most important ninja training institution. Only those who have implemented the will of fire can enter and teach.

Once the teacher deviates from Konoha's will in some behaviors, his position must be revoked, monitoring and investigation will be carried out, and he will not be released until there are no problems.

Originally, Mizuki should also receive such treatment, but in order to catch the dark line behind the other party, he can't act rashly at this moment.

"I can't see anything yet, but since the other party is close to Jinzhu Riki, it must be the person behind him, who wants to use him to achieve some purpose. According to the time, it should be soon."

Nine Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto is this year's freshman.

In a few days, it will be the day of graduation from Ninja School.

With the opponent's extremely bad grades, it is completely impossible to pass the Ninja School's graduation exam normally.

Ninja school's Wannian crane tail, not kidding.

Once the exam fails, it is the time when the opponent is most likely to invade.

If Mizuki wants to use Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to achieve something, only then is the easiest time to achieve the goal.

Kakashi's thoughts coincided with Hizan's.

"However, Hokage-sama, don't you plan to let Naruto graduate from the ninja school this year? Or do you have to wait until next year?"

"I'm also considering this matter. Naruto has a special status. If he loses the umbrella of the ninja school, I can't decide many things."

Kakashi heard Hirazan's implication.

Compared to an insignificant **** like Mizuki, Genbu's attitude towards Jinchuriki is the problem.

"The reason why Naruto's ninjutsu performance is not good is entirely because of the power of the Kyuubi."

Thinking of this, Hizhan felt even more headache.

Naruto can be said to be Konoha's worst Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The first two Kyuubi Jinchurikis, although they did not become perfect Jinchurikis, they were able to rely on their own abilities to force Kyuubi to contribute their strength to fight for themselves. When Nine Tails is rampant, it can also use a powerful sealing technique to strongly restrict Nine Tails.

Compared to the previous two Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto, as a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was influenced by the power of Nine-Tails.

Once the power of Kyuubi goes berserk and Naruto lacks control, it will turn into a huge disaster.

When the time comes, Root will definitely take this opportunity to gain control over Nine Tails.

It is not good for Kakashi to express his opinion on this matter.

He also has only a half-knowledge about the cultivation of Renzhuli, and he doesn't understand it deeply.

But I also know that life is not easy for everyone.

He was supposed to be the hero who saved the village, but he was hated and hostile by the people in the village because of the uncontrollable power in his body.

Growing up in such a neglected environment, most people's hearts are full of dissatisfaction and hatred for the world.

Compared to those Jinchurikis, Naruto, who still maintains an optimistic attitude, can be regarded as an alternative.

But other than that, it seems that's all there is to it.

After all, without Hokage's order, if he rashly approached Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, even Minister Anbe would be suspicious of Hokage.

Saying that, Hirizan took out a crystal ball from the drawer and put it on the table.

After inputting chakra, a picture soon appeared on the crystal ball.

is a classroom, teacher Unno Iruka and students are practicing indoor transformation.

For the students of the ninja school, transformation, substitute, and avatar are three basic ninjutsu that must be mastered.

Sasuke was the first to perform on stage.

His transformation technique is perfect, and he becomes the same as Iruka. Just from the appearance, it is impossible to tell which one is the real Iruka.

Sasuke's performance satisfied Iruka as a teacher, and the girls screamed wildly in the class. It can be seen that Sasuke is very popular in the class.

Neither Hirazan nor Kakashi was surprised by this.

After all, the child who inherited the name of Uchiha, and Kakashi's training in the past few years, for him, the three-body art has already reached the point of perfection.

Even the fire escape ninjutsu is also handy.

The other party is in contact with and mastering the second type of ninjutsu that changes the nature of lightning escape.

At the beginning, he has already surpassed his peers.

Except for children from ninja origin, they may be able to compete with Sasuke in some aspects, but in general, Sasuke must have the advantage.

Next, the students in the class performed on stage one by one, showing off their transformation skills.

From the perspective of a ninja at Kakashi's level, this is just playing tricks.

At the age of four, he had mastered the Three Body Art.

In addition to the Substitution Technique is still being used, the Transformation Technique and the Clone Technique are not necessarily used once a year.

But for the students, being able to master the transformation technique so well is considered a good grade.

Talented people are very few after all.

Soon, Naruto came on stage.

The azure blue is similar to the eyes of his father, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, and the color of the hair is exactly the same, except for the six beards on the face, which somewhat destroys his overall image.

Naruto came to the stage amidst the ridicule of his classmates, and after shouting the words "Look at me, Transformation Technique", he formed a mudra with his hands and burst into chakra, which was quite amazing.

seems to intend to surprise the people who laugh at him.

Hizan and Kakashi were also very curious, whether the other party's mastery of the three-body technique was still as horrible as in the past.

Afterwards, a beautiful girl with blond hair and twin ponytails with a slim figure and healthy wheat-colored skin appeared in the crystal ball naked.

Accompanied by the smog, the bumpy figure is looming, winking at his teacher Iruka.

Kakashi's mouth under the mask opened slightly, hesitant to speak.

Although the transformation is not what Iruka requested, but the image of a beautiful girl with blond hair and twin ponytails can be displayed so vividly in front of people...

This child, in a certain way, is also an astonishing talent.

"Really, Iruka is still not strong enough. He will be defeated by this boring ninjutsu."

Looking into the crystal ball, Iruka, who saw the beautiful girl's body, fell to the ground with a face of collapse due to excessive blood loss, and his whole body was twitching non-stop. Hirizhan couldn't help but sighed, while wiping the nosebleed from his nose with a tissue.

Compared to a young man with little experience like Iruka, as Hokage, he has long been accustomed to Naruto's genius-like behavior full of whimsy.

Even if such a boring ninjutsu is ten times stronger, as Hokage, he can still endure it with his own strong willpower.

"I don't think it's a matter of concentration..."

Kakashi wanted to complain, but didn't know where to start.

I can only say that I, the head of the Anbu, are still too shallow in knowledge.

This is not a unique skill that normal people can imagine.

"However, having said that, this child is really lonely. He actually wants to rely on this method to attract the attention of others."

Even across the screen, Kakashi could feel the other party's forced smile, and wanted to use this to attract the attention of others and recognize his own existence.

But unfortunately, it was used in the wrong way.

Sure enough, Iruka, who had recovered, yelled at Naruto directly, and viciously carried him outside to punish him, making him reflect on his mistakes.

"This is the life of Renzhuli. Although they are members of the village, they are often excluded by others. The behavior of adults will affect the behavior of children."

Hi Zhan sighed.

"Then what will Hokage-sama do next? Will Mizuki..."

"Wait and see what happens, and don't startle the enemy before the opponent makes a move. If you don't find out the black hands behind the scenes, it will be meaningless to grab more chess pieces like Mizuki."

Hizan's eyes became sharper.

"yes."

Kakashi took the order and went down.

Late March, the day before the ninja school graduation.

Not only the students need to carefully review the content of tomorrow's graduation exam, but also the work of the school teachers is not easy.

There are not many graduates in the sixth grade. According to the teachers' speculation, more than 95% of the students should be able to graduate from the school smoothly.

Afterwards, each graduate will be assigned to different ninja teams based on their comprehensive abilities, and will be handed over to the higher-ups for review, and a suitable team leader will be arranged.

"Iruka, do you want to have dinner together later?"

Iruka raised his head, looked at the person who came, and refused with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mizuki, I promised Naruto that I will treat him to a meal of Ichiraku ramen tonight. Let's hold a celebration banquet tomorrow while the students graduate successfully."

The person who came had a gentle and friendly smile on his face, a handsome face, and was a few years older than Iruka. He was a senior and friend whom Iruka respected very muchKonoha Nakin Mizuki.

"Well, then there's nothing you can do. Naruto's grades are really not very good. I think it's better for you to urge him to practice tonight, otherwise he might fail the graduation exam tomorrow. If he can't graduate smoothly, Naruto will definitely be extremely disappointed."

Mizuki's handsome face also showed a worried look about Naruto's grades.

"I see, Mizuki, thank you for caring about Naruto. Naruto will be very happy when he finds out."

"Where, this is what I should do as a teacher. Naruto lost his parents since he was a child, and was discriminated against by many people in the village, but as teachers, we should treat all students equally."

Iruka felt the same way about Mizuki's words.

"Then I won't bother you, say hello to Naruto and me later, see you tomorrow morning."

Mizuki nodded and bid farewell to Iruka.

The moment he turned around, the gentle smile on Mizuki's face disappeared instantly, feeling the weight of something in his arms, a very cold smile appeared on his face.
