Chapter 432 Intermission

The atmosphere in the room is very quiet, without any noise.

Only at the desk, the sound of the pipe tapping the ashtray is constantly heard, full of strong sense of rhythm.

Hizan looked at the report presented by Kakashi, put the pipe back in his mouth and sucked it lightly, then coughed lightly, and said slowly: "You have worked **** this mission, but luckily there was no big dispute."

"Yes, but it's a pity that Anbu didn't get the research materials in the factory of the ghost country."

Kakashi replied.

"As long as no personnel are sacrificed, that's enough. We didn't know beforehand that Yunyin's people would also get involved. Moreover, even the organization that Ji Lai also investigated followed suit."

Speaking of this, Ri Zhan frowned deeply.

I thought it was just a joint action between Konoha and Namanokuni, but I didn't expect it to lead to so many power disputes.

Leaving aside the matter of Yunyin Village, the mysterious organization that Jiraiya is also investigating focuses on the tailed beast, which is always a troublesome matter.

This also means that this organization will not be satisfied with the two tails, and will attack the rest of the tail beasts.

Naruto, who has nine tails sealed inside his body, will sooner or later become the target of this organization.

Fortunately, although the opposing forces are entangled together, their respective goals do not have much conflict.

On the contrary, because of Yunyin's first temptation, Konoha was prevented from falling into the trap of the ghost country, and no soldiers were lost.

From the perspective of the two countries, Yun Yin suffered a huge loss in this operation. As Konoha's Hokage, he should be happy.

But the members of the mysterious organization who came later took Yun Yin's Er-tailed Jinchuriki directly from the hands of Oni Nk.

The situation in the ninja world became more and more complicated, Hirizhan felt more and more powerless.

He, Hokage, is already exhausted just by facing the difficulties of the Oni Nation. In the future, he will have to protect Naruto and fight against this mysterious organization with equally powerful forces. Hirizhan feels deeply worried.

Although Hirizhan sent the information about this organization to the rest of the ninja villages in his own name, he also understands that there is a deep gap between big countries, and there is also a competitive relationship between ninja villages and ninja villages. In addition, over the years, the Kingdom of Ghosts has always intentionally or unintentionally provoked the relationship between the big powers, which has caused the relationship between the countries to become tense, and the attitudes of the countries are biased towards confrontation.

Therefore, even if they got relevant information about this organization, those ninja villages may not understand Konoha's feelings, but they will still go their own way, act in their own way, and will not cooperate with Konoha.

And the longer this kind of thing drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Ninja Village who has a tailed beast.

Yun Yin dismisses it, Yan Yin hangs high, Sand Yin and Konoha use each other, Wu Yin lives in a corner, and no one really intends to unite.

As for the Kingdom of Ghosts, the Tailed Beasts were not assigned to them, but fortunately they would not become the target of the mysterious organization.

"Is Hokage-sama feeling worried?"

Kakashi asked.

"If you dare to target tailed beasts, if it is not a group of idiots, then it is a group of ninjas with real materials. Overall, the power of this organization is very large. Although it is not as good as Konoha, it is not a difficult existence that can be easily solved."

As far as Hirizhan knows, Orochimaru is also a member of this organization.

Itachi also became one of them after leaving Konoha.

From this we can see how powerful this organization is.

It's just that, after Itachi entered this organization, it seemed that he was restricted by some kind of unspoken restriction in the organization, and he couldn't convey information about that organization to Konoha.

This is probably also the agreement that the organization made with Itachi when it took him in.

Once Itachi breaks this agreement privately, it will cause very serious consequences.

Itachi cannot bear this serious consequence alone, and it may involve the safety of Konoha.

Being able to force Itachi, who was extremely loyal to the will of fire, to such an almost desperate situation, made him speechless, and the worries in Hirizhe's heart deepened.

There are also dangerous ninjas like Orochimaru assisting behind the scenes. It is hard to imagine how strong the leader of this organization is. He can gather so many dangerous ninjas together to command and make dangerous ninjas obey orders.

"Could it be that Erwei Jinchuriki was arrested, and Yunyin didn't reply?"

Kakashi seemed a little surprised.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Yun Yin, who has been captured by the tail beast, not to react to this.

It is the best choice to cooperate with Konoha, who is familiar with the enemy's intelligence.

"Raikage told Konoha not to meddle in other people's business. If Jinjuriki is stolen, they will take responsibility for recovering Jinjuriki."

Ri Zhan smiled wryly.

The fact that Erwei Jinchuriki was taken away has already been communicated to Yun Yin through Jiraiya.

But Yun Yin's reaction was just as he expected, he dismissed Konoha with an extremely arrogant attitude.

They are trying to use their own armed forces to recapture their own ninjas, instead of reaching any strategic agreement by cooperating with Konoha.

"It really looks like that Raikage-sama's style. But if you insist on going your own way, you will suffer in the hands of that organization sooner or later."

Kakashi sighed.

Especially in the case of losing a tail beast, it means that Yun Yin has lost one of his high-end combat power. Yun Yin's Lei Ying and other high-level executives are probably furious at this time, and they are about to take the mysterious organization's knife.

As for being able to catch the traces of the enemy, it depends on Yun Yin's own ability.

"As arrogant as the third generation Ai, with a stubborn personality and advocating hegemony. It is really not that easy to cooperate with Yunyin, unless the other party is forced to the point where he has to join forces."

Ri Zhan made such a judgment.

The behavior style of the fourth generation of Raikage is very similar to that of the previous generation of Raikage.

In fact, there is not much difference in Raikage's handling style in the past dynasties.

Since the first generation of Raikage opened up Yunyin Village, this village has believed in hegemony and regarded Konoha as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

Although Konoha is weak now, Yun Yin has not let down his vigilance secretly.

The competition between Ninja Village and Ninja Village has not been completely eliminated. To some extent, the struggle was more intense than before the third Ninja World War.

"It seems that in the short term, there is no way to win Yunyin over."

Kakashi sighed with regret. From the standpoint of Konoha Ninja, the most urgent thing to win international allies is emotion.

The military forces of the Kingdom of Wind and Hidden Sand Village are always too weak.

In the west of the mainland, it was also deliberately suppressed by the ghost country. Today's life is not easy, and it can be said that it exists at the bottom of the big countries.

Konoha wants to do a lot of things, but in fact they are beyond her reach.

"Well, that's the case, but as time goes by, the harm of that organization will attract the attention of all countries sooner or later. At that time, let's promote exchanges with other countries. This time, it is really not easy to drive the power of the ghost country out of the country of waves."

Hi Zhan did not blame Anbu for his slow action.

Facing the kingdom of ghosts, Konoha must be cautious in his actions.

A few years ago, the Anbu underwent an internal cleansing, coupled with the re-screening of personnel, the action has been improved to a higher level.

Minister Kakashi contributed a lot.

This time, in the name of a C-level mission, Kakashi was transferred to the country of Waves, also to serve as a deterrent.

Otherwise, relying on Zilai alone may not be able to scare the ghost kingdom.

Because Jiraiya is also a defeated person who was captured by them in the eyes of the Oni Nation. Naturally, the deterrent power of Sannin is not as important to the Oni Nation as other countries.

"The forces of the Ghost Kingdom Chamber of Commerce have not all withdrawn, and they are still closely watching every move of the Kingdom of Waves."

Kakashi said at this time.

"I want to find a loophole between the alliance between the Land of Fire and the Land of Waves."

Hirizhan smiled slightly, as if confident that the alliance between the two countries would not be found flawed.

"The daimyo will come forward in person on this matter. Naturally, he must reflect on the losses he has suffered in the past. As long as the land of waves maintains a neutral attitude, there is no need to worry about the problems of the land of ghosts. As for industrial technology... it is still necessary to contact the people from the agricultural and industrial group."

The kingdom of ghosts is very strict about the secrecy of industrial technology. So far, no country has been able to obtain any important research data from the kingdom of ghosts.

Only when the wave country agricultural and industrial group maintained a cooperative relationship with the ghost country in the past, it obtained a part of the industrial technology accumulation of the ghost country. Now the Oni Nation's military factory in the Bo Nation has been damaged, and the Oni Nation has no way to do anything there, so it can only further cooperate with the Agricultural and Industrial Corps and get some technical support from the Agricultural and Industrial Corps in a peaceful manner.

Naturally, all of this can only be done peacefully under the premise that the Kingdom of Fire must not interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Bo.

Once the Nation of Fire interferes in the internal affairs of the Nation of Waves, the Nation of Ghosts will take advantage of it. In that case, the situation may turn into a civil war like the Nation of Rain, and the Nation of Fire will lose face.

Kakashi nodded. These diplomatic issues are not something Anbu needs to consider. They are diplomatic matters that the political party headed by the daimyo needs to consider.

It is the same as the cross-sea bridge that will be built between the Kingdom of Waves and the Kingdom of Fire.

It is not only an important maritime commercial route between the two countries, it can greatly shorten the navigation time between the two countries, and it also symbolizes the long-term cooperative relationship between the two countries in the future, which is unbreakable.

"Let's stop here for the matter of the country of Nami. Afterwards, the Daimyofu will come forward, and Anbu and Nebu's staff can be withdrawn. Next, it is about Naruto and Sasuke. I have heard the details from Ziraiya. What do you think?"

Hizan looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi rubbed his chin and thought for a while and said: "Well, with my personal energy, if I want to carefully train three ninjas, to be honest, it is still a bit difficult. Moreover, Naruto and Sasuke are two completely different types of ninjas. It is best to treat them separately. Since Jiraiysama is interested in teaching Naruto, my work here will indeed be much easier."

"Since you agree."

Ri Zhan smiled with relief on his face.

"In terms of personality, Naruto is very similar to Jiraiysama. All I can teach Naruto is the basics of ninja. The rest depends on his own performance."

Kakashi replied.

Hizan nodded while smoking his pipe.

Kakashi's teaching ability, he never doubted.

But Kakashi himself is very busy with his duties. Even if he temporarily leaves Anbu, it doesn't mean that Kakashi doesn't manage Anbu's affairs at all.

The important event of Anbu still needs to be decided by Minister Kakashi himself.

Under such a premise, there will indeed be pressure on time to teach the three ninjas carefully and carefully.

"Jiraiya still has some things to deal with, Naruto, you continue to lead, and then let Jiraiya take over. Haruno Sakura... Haruno Sakura, what do you think?"

Ri Zhan asked this question again.

He held the ninja information about Sakura in his hand, which listed everything from the other party's personality, behavior style, including the skills he was good at. Some information might not even be noticed by the subject of the investigation.

"An innocent little girl who is kind of cute."

Kakashi said.

"Isn't it a ninja's evaluation?"

The day is clear.

In other words, the current Haruno Sakura does not have the determination and perseverance to embark on the road of ninja.

The role in the team is very passive.

Passively fight, passively assist teammates.

This is very normal for Hizhan. If the three ninjas use more than a month to run the team perfectly, how can those ninjas who have been running for several years or more than ten years have not produced much tacit understanding?

Teamwork, the three of them can only barely enter the lowest threshold.

"Among the three, the one I want to get along with the most is Sakura. Sasuke's heart is too heavy, and he basically has no other demands except revenge. Naruto's character is very detached. Even after graduation, he still seems too immature in some aspects and has many flaws."

To put it simply, among the three students, only Sakura is considered a relatively normal child.

Sasuke and Naruto, because of their special life trajectories, will appear "special" in dealing with things.

And this kind of 'special' often causes a lot of trouble.

"So she is the third person in the team, acting as a running-in agent, admiring geniuses, and being admired by the tail of the crane, suitable for adjusting the atmosphere in the team... In this way, there will also be a deep connection between Naruto and Sasuke."

Hi Zhan said so.

"I hope that, as Hokage-sama said, after all, the Chunin exam will be held in a few months. Before that, has Naruto really decided to let Naruto take the Chunin exam?"

Kakashi stared seriously at Hirizan's eyes.

Hizan slowly exhaled smoke from his mouth, he didn't answer Kakashi's question immediately.

On the issue of whether to let Nine-Tails Jinchuriki go to take the Chunin Exam, the high-level leaders have discussed it more than once.

He could vaguely feel that Danzo was strongly dissatisfied with him, and the consultants transferred to Koharu and Mito Menyan. They also thought this decision was too risky, and believed that Naruto should be imprisoned in the village forever, and let Anbu in the village provide close protection. This is the best solution.

It's just, is a protected weapon really capable of surviving in this cruel ninja world?

For Hirazan, Naruto is not only Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Konoha's ultimate weapon, but also the son of the Fourth Hokage, who was given the mission to protect Konoha from birth.

And when Naruto faced Mizuki's temptation, he made a decision to trust the village.

Since this is the case, Rizai thinks that he cannot disappoint Naruto either.

At least while my own Hokage can still move, it is imperative to let Naruto grow up as much as possible.

Kakashi and Jiraiya, these two powerful ninjas who are second to none among Konoha, are important guides he arranged for Naruto.

Blindly passive will only make the enemy press closer. At the right time, we must forge ahead in order to adapt to the new era.

The experience of falling again and again made Hizaru, who is Hokage, understand that he must embark on this path that is completely different from his previous half of his life.

As the thoughts deepened, three young but terrifying faces gradually emerged in Ri Zhan's mind.

Chiba Shiraishi, Uchiha Ruri, Hyuga Ayane... can be called the three indestructible pillars of the Demon Kingdom.

Based on the age of the three of them, there are still at least ten years of ruling period in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

More than ten years, this can be the time of two ninja world wars, and it can also change the ninja world.

Standing up from the seat, Hirizhan smoked his pipe, looked at the street scene outside the window, and fell into deep thought.

"At least before deciding on the Fifth Hokage, Naruto must have the power to protect himself. Kakashi, I don't have much time left, so I have to be willful this time..."

Because they are young eagles, they should learn how to fly.

What Konoha needs now is definitely not the flowers in the greenhouse, but a ninja who can be alone.

Yuyin.

In the tower.

"You two, do you want to believe in religion?"

Scorpion and Didara stared at the young man who suddenly came across the corridor with weird eyes.

After the other party found the two of them, he approached with a smile on his face, holding a silver necklace in his hand, as if he was praying for something, and asked Scorpion and Didala if he wanted to join his sect.

The other party has short silver hair combed back, his eyes are strange purple red, a long-handled three-leaf sickle is placed behind his back, he is wearing a red cloud coat with a black background, and a "three" ring is worn on the index finger of his left hand.

All reveal the identity of the other party.

Like them, he is a core member of Akatsuki.

But this face, Xie and Didala have never seen it before.

Reminiscent of what Nagato seemed to say before, there will be newcomers joining recently, from the cult of evil spirits.

This handsome young man with short silver hair must be the newcomer from the Cult of the Heretic God.

I have no interest in religion.

Scorpion snorted coldly.

The handsome young man didn't get angry, but tirelessly explained to Xie with a smile: "Don't worry, what I believe in is an evil **** religion, which is completely different from those virtue religions that always preach not having enough to eat."

"oh?"

Scorpion was surprised.

The handsome young man saw that Scorpion became a little interested, and he immediately talked eloquently: "Human beings always use the good side to describe existence, and extol existence to an incomparably beautiful and lofty level, as if they are the embodiment of virtue. But our cult is different. We preach the truth that survival is evil, and survival is accumulating sin. Therefore, it is the destiny of my religion to abandon all the virtues that humans have piled up for survival, and let everyone be born into the world as perpetrators and predators."

When he said this, he was very proud.

Didara was a little confused and couldn't understand what the other party meant.

"Then what kind of teaching is this? Hmm."

Xie sneered, and said, "Idiot, that means you can do whatever you want to join this sect. In short, those who join this sect are either lunatics or murderers."

Especially after exaggerating the power of ninjas, this sect is even more terrifying and disrespectful.

Existence is destruction. It is the truth to try to deny all civilization and order established by human beings and return human civilization to the original killing and plundering.

Scorpion saw through this trick at a glance.

"I can understand to this extent, if you join the Cult of the Evil God, I can immediately give you the status of bishop. How about it, do you want to consider it?"

It was the first time for the handsome young man to hear an outsider analyze the doctrine of the Cult of the Evil God so thoroughly. He looked at Xiangxie with brilliant eyes, and began to warmly invite Xie.

"As I said, I'm not interested in joining a religion."

Scorpion responded impatiently, the steel tail on the back curled up the body of a woman who had passed out in a coma.

He passed the position of the handsome young man and walked towards the depths of the corridor.

"What, this guy, do you want to be cursed to death by me?"

Seeing that Scorpion ignored him, the smile on the handsome young man's face couldn't hold back, showing a very fierce expression.

Didara looked at the murderous look in the opponent's eyes, as if the new member was a ninja with a lot of problems.

But, is the sect that enjoys killing considered a kind of art?

Didara shook his head, gave up thinking about this question, followed Scorpion's footsteps and left.

The wide space at the bottom of the tower.

The arms of the heretic golem bloomed on the ground like a pilgrimage.

The members of the Akatsuki organization headed by Nagato gathered here.

Not only the handsome young men who joined the team, but also the other veteran members, except Dashemaru, the logistics manager, gathered here in unison.

Itachi, Kisame, Beiliuhu, Baize, Heize, Nagato and Konan of the leader group.

and Scorpion and Deidara who successfully returned with Two Tails Jinchuriki.

"Thank you for your hard work, Scorpion, Deidara."

Nagato said to the returning Scorpion and Didara.

"It's nothing, do you want to start sealing immediately?"

Scorpion asked.

Nagato nodded, then glanced at the handsome young man, and introduced to Scorpion and Didara: "Before sealing Erwei, this is Hidan who just joined the organization. He should have greeted you just now."

Scorpion and Didara glanced at Hiduan and nodded.

A boring meeting of a bunch of atheists.

Fei Duan sighed, looking like he was about to die.

His words made many members frown, but due to their identities as newcomers, they didn't have the same knowledge as him.

Nagato didn't say anything about it, he used Hidan more than he valued it.

Although I don't like the so-called evil **** religion, this is the justice for others to insist on survival.

Compared to most people who have given up their faith, people like Fei Duan are sticking to their own path, and there is no confusion in their eyes.

As long as he doesn't attack non-ninjas, he can turn a blind eye to Hidan's behavior.

Nagato also believes in his own strength and can restrain Hidan's behavior.

"Then let's start the sealing ceremony. The current golem of the heretics should be able to accommodate the second head-tailed beast."

Nagato didn't talk nonsense, and began to walk towards the palm of the golem.

After walking a few steps, Nagato suddenly turned his head, glanced at Scorpion and Didara, and asked, "Speaking of which, I have already heard Bai Jue's report on your battle process, but I want to hear your thoughts. As those who have experienced it yourself, you should be more clear."

"How do you feel?"

"Chiba Kazuhime, what do you think of her?"

Nagato's tone was calm, but the seriousness in his eyes told others that he attached great importance to this matter.

"Beautiful princess, fellow artist. Hmm."

Didara closed her eyes and nodded in self-satisfaction, as if thinking about something.

"Didara, shut up! It is because of your unnecessary words that the other party ran away and caused unnecessary twists and turns in this mission. Even my important collection was severely damaged. It will take at least a month to repair it."

Scorpion gave Didala a vicious look.

After teaching Didara a lesson, Scorpion carefully recalled the whole process of the battle. After a short silence, he glanced in Itachi's direction, then turned his eyes and landed on Nagato.

"I declare in advance that I don't know how the Kingdom of Ghosts cultivated her. Her combat experience is not rich. She seems to be a baby holding a dangerous giant sword, and she can swing the giant sword strangely without feeling the obstruction. The battle with Erwei, and the battle with Didara and I were all solved with pure violence, without any skills at all...It stands to reason that with her strength, the combat experience has already accumulated and matured, and it is impossible for her to be immature."

In a high-strength ninja duel, not a single bit of chakra should be wasted, this is the basic.

But Yi Ji doesn't have these characteristics.

Chakra's extravagance and waste, as if he didn't care.

Battle experience is enough for an ordinary ninja, but in the eyes of a scorpion, the opponent's experience is very immature and full of loopholes.

But even so, relying on their own exaggeration of Chakra, directly ignored the experience gap between the two sides, and came from the frontal crush.

Moreover, this power is not out of control, perfect and self-deep fit, but it is not used perfectly.

These situations appear together in one person, which seems extremely contradictory.

Nagato frowned.

"you mean"

"Two cases. In the first case, she deliberately hides her clumsiness in front of us. The other possibility is that her power has remained in its most primitive state, and has not been carefully polished, allowing her power to grow wildly."

If it is the first type, Scorpion is not worried.

If it is the second type, there is no doubt that this may be the most abnormal freak in the ninja world since Scorpion knew it, not one of them.
