From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 184 Jade Fishing Plan

Chapter 184 Jade Fishing Plan (5k)

It was three days later that Sawara Kiri returned to Konoha Village.

Afterwards, everything that happened on the battlefield was seen by Konoha's Anbu, but he didn't care too much.

The current ninja world is still too weak, so it is very difficult for Konoha's scientific system to even absorb nutrients to continue to move forward. In this case, even if the remains of an Otsutsuki are really found, it will only fall into the dilemma of Hashirama's cell research in the past and will not be able to use it directly.

However, he took note of their enthusiasm in improving their strength and testing their combat effectiveness.

"That's not a bad thing."

Sawara Kiri looked at another piece of information that was handed to his desk and murmured to himself.

After the Otsutsuki clan became a target, his focus was no longer limited to the current ninja world.

Even though he still had a sword from the future in his hand, he was extremely wary of the "enemies" who might come from an unknown timeline again - in addition to them, there was the Otsutsuki clan of this world.

After all, he actually knew very little about these Otsutsuki group who suddenly appeared in front of him, abandoned the original pride of the Otsutsuki clan, and ambushed and killed him.

If these people are connected to the Otsutsuki of this world
Sawara Kiri thought to himself and rubbed his brows slightly.

"Lord Sahara, Lord Orochimaru and others have arrived at the conference room."

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door and a young female ninja who was a few years older than him came in - this was his office secretary.

Yes.

After turning eighteen, he finally had his own office in the Hokage building in addition to the sofa in the Hokage's office.

His position is the worthless 'Hokage Assistant'.

This position is equivalent to that of Orochimaru and Jiraiya, but there is no series of departments under them.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Sawara Kiri nodded at the other party, stood up from the desk, and walked out.

Ever since he submitted the report on the attack to the Hokage's office, it caused quite a stir among the top people in Konoha.

The reason is also very simple.

This was the first time that Konoha Village, or the ninja world, had direct contact with aliens.

Moreover, it was in such an unfriendly situation.

What worries them more is the next issue.

Konoha is still in a long period of reform and development, and this process may last for several years. During this process, the entire Konoha is very fragile.

What's more, the enemy they are facing is an opponent that even Sawara Kiri has to go all out.

Long before he returned, high-level secret meetings had been held for several days in a row.

"Yondaime-sama?"

"Enter."

When Sawara Kiri entered the door, he saw the three members of the original "entire group" sitting on the sofa, all of them looking gloomy.

"You're finally here. How was your rest?"

Tsunade rubbed the dark circles under her eyes and waved at him with her hand.

"It's nothing serious." Sawara Kiri nodded to several people and sat down on the sofa.

"Tell me the specific situation."

Orochimaru went straight to the point as usual, but his expression was obviously much more serious than usual.

Unlike the reports received by others, the intelligence they receive is more detailed.

For example, in the attack report they received, Sawara Kiri used words like 'going all out' and 'almost defeated' for the first time - this had never been used before.

Even in the battle when Uchiha Madara attacked, Sawara Kiri still had the strength to survive. Even if he couldn't win, he could still escape.

However, the various words he used this time were obviously much more serious than that time. In addition, according to the investigation of battlefield traces, he also used a power that far exceeded that used before.

According to what Sawara Kiri said in the report, this move is very taxing even for him. If he maintains his current state without any improvement, he may only be able to use it once more.

The three ninjas were all experienced and seasoned ninjas, so they naturally knew what this meant - a 'secret technique' that required the consumption of vitality or some more essential power.

Just like the Eight Gates Formation.

The people present didn't react much to the fact that he possessed such a level of skill.

He is Sawara Kiri after all, so no matter what outrageous things he develops, it is not surprising.

"Now, the situation we are facing is quite serious." Sawara Kiri's opening words set a heavy tone for the subsequent meeting.

"According to the intelligence I got during the battle, there were a total of four people on the other side. Only one was killed directly. Of the remaining three, two should have completely lost their combat effectiveness, and the situation of the other is unknown."

"The most important thing is that any one of them has the ability to match my normal state."

"hiss"

Just by hearing this conclusion, the Sannin lowered their expectations further and subconsciously took a breath of cold air.

Orochimaru was still able to remain calm: "What effect will that move have on you?"

What he was referring to, of course, was the sword move that penetrated more than 200 kilometers.

"No effect."

“It just can’t be used anymore.”

Sahara Kiri shook his head: "This has something to do with the weapon I got. If I use it again, the power inside will dissipate."

Hearing this, Orochimaru nodded with a little regret.

If it was a weapon, he would like to study it, but since it can only be used once, he cannot risk losing this power to start a scientific research project - the safety of the village and Sawara Kiri comes first.

The two are now bound together.

"it's a pity"

"Also, it seems that changes in the timeline do have a great impact on the course of the world."

Jiraiya's tone was quite helpless: "Originally it was clearly agreed that there would be more than ten years left, and the news about Kakashi's future is not very reliable!"

"What's the point of complaining about that now?"

Tsunade scolded with a cold face, and then changed the subject: "Kiri, do you think those guys from the Otsutsuki will show up again?"

"Will."

Sahara Kiri said in a firm tone: "However, they will need to spend some time recuperating from their injuries. This factor should delay their attack time."

"The only uncertainty at the moment is whether there will be another batch of Otsutsuki appearing besides them."

"."

Hearing this, everyone present looked solemn and no one was able to speak.

Yes.

That's the biggest problem.

The people in the prophecy of the future team are said to be many times more powerful than the ones Kiri encountered this time, and they can even die together with Sawara Kiri of that era.

It is obvious that Sawara Kiri's strength cannot stand still in a long-term war preparation race.

If this is the case, it can only mean that there may be other opponents.

It is obvious that Konoha's external environment is now in the best condition since the end of the First Ninja World War, but the difficulties they face are even more severe than during the war.

After all, their enemy now is not their own kind, but the Otsutsuki who calls himself a god.

"Do you have any ideas on how to improve your strength?"

Until the end, it was Orochimaru who raised the most crucial question.

"Chakra."

Sahara Kiri said with certainty: "This is the foundation of all strength. As long as I have enough chakra, there will be no problem even if I try to reproduce the fighting method I used before."

"But the total amount required is very large. Even if all the tailed beasts were added together, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough."

He knew very well what the upper limit of the so-called 'tailed beasts' was.

Because, Kaguya later demonstrated with her actions that even after she devoured the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and absorbed the chakra of a hundred thousand ninja soldiers, she could still be easily sealed by two half-step Six Paths-level warriors - the reason why it was "half-step" was because they used completely external force.

After removing this external force, Nine-Tails Naruto and Rinnegan Sasuke are actually only slightly stronger than the first Hokage.

Even Sawara Kiri couldn't think of any source that could provide him with so much chakra.

However, after hearing this conclusion, Orochimaru's eyes lit up slightly:
"As long as it's chakra, it'll be fine?"

"This is the basics." Sawara Kiri said in a heavy tone.

Then, Orochimaru suddenly took out a bead from his pocket.

Sahara Kiri was startled.

That small bead was the 'Four Souls Jade' that he had given to Orochimaru to test before.

"Lord Orochimaru, what do you mean?"

He was a little puzzled. Orochimaru said in a gentle tone: "According to the tests during this period, the jade you brought has a special power. After it comes into contact with the human soul, it will burst out a very strong amount of chakra, but it also has a big flaw."

As he spoke, he took out another small box and used tweezers to pick out pieces of debris.

Only then did Sawara Kiri notice that the surface of the Four Souls Jade, which was originally round and complete, was now full of pits and holes.

He was stunned at first, and then looked at the description of the Four Soul Jade again.

"Four Souls Jade (A)"

"Information localization has been completed"

"Details: A special substance that can carry a huge amount of chakra. After being absorbed into the body, it can gain incredible power - but this special property will also actively attract countless extreme souls to fight for it."

"This item comes from "Inuyasha""

"Cannot be upgraded"

If I remember correctly, in the comic "Inuyasha", the Shikon Jewel does have the power to make monsters and ordinary people stronger, which is why he gave this thing to Orochimaru for testing.

However, he had clearly tried to touch it with chakra before, or put it into his wounds, but there was no reaction at that time.

"Lord Orochimaru, what is wrong with you?"

Sawara Kiri's gaze gradually became hot.

Not only him, Tsunade and Jiraiya also turned their heads to look at the small jade stone - it was the first time that Jiraiya saw this thing.

Orochimaru smiled proudly: "I discovered it by accident as well."

"When I first got this jade, I tried many ways to contact it, but no matter whether I injected chakra or experimented with ninjutsu, there was no reaction. The material was also very ordinary and even fragile."

"It was not until I was thinking about a problem with a Wood Release Cell that I discovered that it suddenly burst into light. After I inserted some of the fragments into my body, the difficulties were solved."

"Later, after many experiments, I discovered that one must have a very strong desire to resonate with it and gain its power."

"I still don't understand the reason behind this, but I can be sure that it must react to some kind of resonance in the human soul in order to reveal its essence - and its true power."

But as he was talking, Orochimaru suddenly sighed and said, "Unfortunately, according to my control experiment, a ninja must have a certain level of strength and sufficient desire to show this essence."

"At the same time, if you wear it for too long, it will become extremely addictive."

As he spoke, he took out a universal capsule.

When it was opened, an arm was seen lying inside.

On that arm, there was a pale pink fragment of the Four Souls Jade.

Seeing this, Sawara Kiri's eyes fixed and he was a little surprised.

Orochimaru said naturally, "Even I couldn't get rid of this addiction. I only embedded it for a few days before I had to use this method to remove the fragments."

"If you plan to use it, Kiri-kun, I suggest you do it in moderation - and it's best not to let it get into the hands of the ninjas of Konoha's main village."

Upon hearing this, both Tsunade and Jiraiya were horrified.

"Even your will, Orochimaru, is difficult to resist?" Tsunade's tone contained a hint of disbelief.

As his comrades who grew up with him, they knew exactly what kind of madman Orochimaru was.

He is the veteran drug addict among the trio of prostitution, gambling and drugs.

However, he openly admitted that he could not resist the addiction.

"Kiru boy, you'd better be cautious." Jiraiya advised solemnly.

He has always been extremely wary of things that can erode his will - this is why he only deals in pornography.

Sawara Kiri frowned and asked in confusion: "Master Orochimaru, if we use the entire Four Souls Jade directly, will it eliminate this reaction?"

"It will only become more intense, and may even make you work yourself to death under this temptation." Orochimaru sighed slightly.

Obviously, the 'temptation' he was exposed to was to continue conducting various research and developments - which would lead to the risk of sudden death at work.

"The only relatively safe way to use it is to extract fragments that have been 'filled' with other people's souls."

As he spoke, he carefully picked up the fragments from his broken arm with tweezers and handed them to Sawara Kiri.

Sawara Kiri took it subconsciously.

Tsunade and Jiraiya both stood up:

"and many more!"

However, before they could react, the fragment had already fallen into Sawara Kiri's hands.

"Om-"

A soft light suddenly emanated from the surface of this tiny fragment, and at the same time, the terrifying amount of chakra contained inside burst out.

Just by holding it, Sawara Kiri could feel the endless power pouring into his body.

Although it was far from the previous arrival of the Zanka sword, it was still terrifying enough.

Orochimaru glanced at the two of them with some disdain, as if to say how could I make such a common sense mistake, and said in a light tone:
“This is the completed fragment.”

"However, because the time is relatively short, the power contained in it is only a small part."

"But if I continue to 'fill' it, I'm afraid it will be hard for me to resist the strong temptation."

Sawara Kiri held the fragment and was silent for a while.

It was not until a few minutes later that he suddenly raised his head and said:

"Tsunade-sama, I have an idea."

"If we mark this debris and allow it to flow outward, and then collect it again after it is filled to a sufficient level,

"Then is there no problem?"

Hearing his words, both Tsunade and Jiraiya who were still standing, and Orochimaru opposite them, were all stunned.

This kid has a lot of bad intentions.
But this plan
Ok?
The three people's eyes suddenly lit up.

Is that somewhat feasible?
Among them, Orochimaru's eyes flashed like neon lights.

Yes.

He only considered how to solve the problem through scientific research, but in fact, it doesn't have to be that troublesome!
This way, even he could remain in that 'enlightened' state for a long time!

"Tell me carefully."

Orochimaru immediately showed extraordinary enthusiasm.

He is no less evil-minded.

"Here's what I think, we need to put on a show first"

It was in this small office that the "Jade Fishing Plan" that would continue for many years in the future was set step by step.

At the same time, Otsutsuki Isshiki also started his own plan.

"If he really possesses that kind of strength, the increase that this body can bring would probably be beyond my imagination."

He strolled in the deep forest with a serious expression.

Now, the only things that make him feel wary are the other Otsutsuki people who suddenly appeared in this world.

What is their purpose? Whose orders are they following? What is the current situation? Is there any possibility of unity?
All these are problems.

Although the Otsutsuki clan often calls humans an inferior race, they are actually no different from these inferior races and also have very fierce internal struggles.

If it is not from your own lineage, no matter how strong you are, there will be an insurmountable gap.

The only thing that can be unified is the respect for Otsutsuki Shibai.

Therefore, Otsutsuki Isshiki did not dare to trust his so-called "clan members".

What's more, he is still in such a weak state.

"Since I can't command those guys, I can only rely on others to capture that body."

Otsutsuki Isshiki frowned slightly.

In my mind, I subconsciously thought of the Moon Organization.

"No."

"The relationship between that woman and Sawara Kiri is still unclear."

"It's the little guy with the Rinnegan instead."

"As I recall, he should be the eye carrier of that idiot Uchiha Madara, right?"

He suddenly stood still, lost in thought.
