From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 216 I want them all! (5k)

Sorry.

Nagato, Yahiko.

When she raised her head again, Xiaonan's heart was already filled with the determination to sacrifice for her best companion.

She looked straight into those blue eyes that were as bright as stars and pursed her lips tightly.

Xiaonan is not a newbie without any common sense.

In fact, she has been in Takigakure Village and the Moon Organization for many years, and now she has become a mature ninja.

For a ninja like her, especially a female ninja, she already had an idea of ​​what terrible things would happen to her after being defeated and captured.

Don't expect the ninja world, where the average education level does not exceed that of a third-grade primary school student, to have a high moral bottom line. In an era where even elementary social thoughts like the Will of Fire and the Will of Rock can be brainwashed on a large scale, the vast majority of civilians still live in an agricultural civilization, and the moral level of ninjas is about equal to that of wild beasts.

At most, it would make them feel a little guilty after slaughtering tribes, villages, and towns according to the mission standards, so that they would think that they have "integrated into the darkness."

In the red-light districts and dance towns in various places, there are many female ninjas who have suffered the same fate as her and have been laid off and reemployed because they cannot afford the redemption fees. However, looking at it from another perspective, to a certain extent, this is also one of the unspoken rules for the post-war survival of female ninjas, which makes their chances of survival more than an order of magnitude higher than those unlucky male ninjas.

In comparison, being able to commit herself to a big shot like Sawara Kiri might be a fortunate outcome for her at this moment.

But
"If it's for the lives of Nagato and Yahiko, I can accept any price."

Xiaonan repeated this in his mind countless times and slowly let out a breath.

"Humph."

"I didn't expect that a big shot like you would be interested in ordinary people like us."

The beauty hanging on the torture rack had a grim look in her eyes.

Her messy short hair and slightly damp sweat marks on her pale skin, her body tied in a cross shape, unable to move, only highlighted her beautiful figure. The ropes around her waist made her unable to resist straightening her chest, but due to her size it drooped forward weakly, making her look particularly pitiful at this moment.

Xiaonan stared at Sawara Kiri who was so close to him for a long time, turned his face to one side, and said in a cold voice:
"bring it on."

Sawara Kiri looked at the prompt [Bond Level: One] that appeared on the panel at some point, and then looked at Konan in front of him who had given up struggling and looked like he had given up on himself, and was suddenly confused.

You are still tied up, and you want to climb into my bed?
You think beautifully!

After realizing that the other party had misunderstood his meaning, Sahara Kiri thought for a moment and changed his words:
"Would you rather sacrifice your body than reveal Nagato's plan?"

"It's a pity that you probably don't understand?"

"Nagato is just a pawn used by that guy next to Uchiha Hikaru."

"Even Uchiha Hikaru was wary of this guy, but you guys trust him so much?"

Hearing this, Xiaonan's expression froze and he suddenly turned towards him.

"What do you mean?"

Sahara Kiri noticed her change in expression and softened his tone, "This plan of yours shouldn't have been proposed by Nagato himself, right? You should have seen that black and white bastard following him quite often."

"."

"Tell me, what exactly did you want to do when you went to the Hidden Rain Village?"

Xiaonan glanced at the crystal ball next to him, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Can't this thing see the past and the future?
In that case, why don't you check it yourself?

However, looking at Sawara Kiri's calm appearance, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty - what if the other party just wanted to dig it out of his mouth in the simplest way possible because the cost was too high?
Moreover, even though Xiaonan didn't say it.

But in fact, even she herself has always been somewhat skeptical about Nagato's "impulsiveness" this time, and the mysterious guy Jue seems to be planning something, just as Sawara Kiri said.

This conflicting emotion made her worry about the safety of Nagato and Yahiko.

If it is true as this guy said, that all of them were being used.
If he could dig out some information from Sawara Kiri, seeing his lustful look, and then using his body to seduce her a little, he would not be completely without a chance to pass on the relevant information.

Make skin with a tiger.

Almost instinctively, this thought came to Xiaonan's mind.

But does she really have any other choice now?
After thinking over and over again what he was about to say, Xiaonan lowered his head slightly and whispered, "I don't know much, I only know that this operation was indeed a deal between Nagato and Zetsu."

"His request is that we occupy the Hidden Rain Village and use it as a base to build a huge sealing formation - using the dragon veins."

"It's not just me. Nagato also knows very little information. I don't know why he agreed to it. Maybe we are the ones being used."

Xiaonan spoke in a low voice with a soft tone, which, combined with her weak face after long-term mental pressure and water torture, and her beautiful body that was bound, particularly highlighted the deeper fragility of this cold beauty.

This is also a technique of showing weakness by taking advantage of one's own 'advantages'.

She felt that she had not revealed any key information, nor had she exposed what actions Nagato might take next - in fact, even she herself could not say for sure what Nagato would do next.

However, what Konan didn't know was that Sawara Kiri had much more information than she imagined.

There was a hint of thought in Sawara Kiri's eyes.

In fact, as early as after he learned about the war between Minato and Nagato, he began to think about why these people returned to the original line again and tried to establish their rule in the Hidden Rain Village.

If they simply wanted to kill their enemy Hanzo Salamander who had caused them to fall into war, they would have had many opportunities to do so in these seven years.

as predicted.

Now, with just a little provocation, he was able to extract the information from Xiaonan's mouth.

They did return to the Hidden Rain Village under Jue's guidance.

In addition, they also plan to build a large seal based on the dragon vein in the Hidden Rain Village.

The purpose of Jue is easy to guess.

For the past thousand years, he has been working to save Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

Although I don’t know what the exact function of this dragon vein seal is, it must be related to the seal on the moon.

Was he planning to plant the sacred tree by converting a large amount of chakra through the dragon veins? Or was he planning to complete some kind of large-scale sacrificial ceremony that didn't appear in the original novel through the entire Hidden Rain Village? Or was he simply trying to bring Uchiha Madara out again to carry out the plan that had to be interrupted for various reasons?

No, the situation in the ninja world is different now.

Just his existence would not have made Black Zetsu do such a stupid thing. There are definitely more than just one or two strong men who can rival Uchiha Madara.
Could it be that, besides planting the sacred tree, Black Zetsu has other ways to unlock the 'Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei'?

Sawara Kiri looked at Konan's weak expression and thought for a long time.

Finally, two results were obtained by the process of elimination.

First, we must increase the intensity of investigation in various places to prevent Black Zetsu, Nagato and others from hiding in some corner and completing some large-scale ritual.

Second, the monitoring of the lunar seal needs to be further strengthened.

Thinking of this, Sawara Kiri's thoughts gradually became clearer, and even his gaze towards Xiaonan became softer.

On the contrary, when Xiaonan noticed his gaze, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He suddenly started to doubt whether he had said something wrong or revealed some information.

However, Sawara Kiri had no intention of continuing the topic.

"So what's going on with you three?"

"Are you planning to leave the Moon Organization by taking such actions without authorization?"

Hearing him ask this, even though she knew that her words just now had accidentally revealed some information, Xiaonan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue, whispering:
"Uchiha Hikaru is a madman who wants to destroy the world. She plans to seal all the chakra in the world and return the world to a time when no one has chakra, so that everyone will be controlled by her."

“It’s not just about planning.”

"This phenomenon was already very obvious when we were in Takigakure Village."

"All members of the Moon Organization must be branded with a special eye mark. As long as she thinks about it, the others will become her puppets!"

"That kind of pupil technique, even you can't resist it"

Although the voice was intermittent due to weakness, Konan still tried her best to guide Sawara Kiri's attention, trying her best to divert his sight away from herself, Nagato and others, and make him fight to the death with that monster Uchiha Hikaru. No matter who died, it would be good news for them.

After hearing what she said, Sahara Kiri just nodded indifferently.

joke.

He had known about the Tsukuyomi engraving several years ago. It was Uchiha Hikaru who told him in person. She also said that she wanted to live with him as ordinary people for the rest of her life, which almost drove Ya crazy.

Xiaonan pursed her lips and whispered, "So, we want to get rid of her control and build a peaceful village that truly belongs to everyone."

"Like the five great ninja villages?"

Sawara Kiri asked with interest.

"Do not."

Xiaonan took a deep breath. When she talked about their goal, the cold beauty's eyes flashed like a torch: "Peace cannot be achieved by everyone's compromise."

"In order to make everyone stop killing, we must master a powerful force that can destroy all resistance in an instant."

"Only the threat of this terrifying force can make others lay down their weapons."

"This is why Nagato would cooperate with that bastard Zetsu at all costs!" "As long as it can be achieved to this extent, even if it is..."

Just when she started to speak more, as if she was narrating her ideals, Konan's voice was suddenly interrupted by Sawara Kiri.

He stood in front of Xiaonan who was hanging on the torture rack, pointed at himself and said with a smile:

"Isn't that the guy you're talking about me?"

"."

Xiaonan's voice suddenly paused.

She looked at him in astonishment.

Yes.

The second generation of the ninja god is even more powerful than the first generation. He overwhelmed the entire Hidden Mist Village and disarmed it all by himself. Even the tailed beasts could not match him.
Seven years is enough time for a baby to grow into an eloquent child, for a rule to become a consensus of the whole society, and naturally for a name to become a synonym for invincibility.

Sawara Kiri = Invincible.

Although he rarely shows off this terrifying power, it has long been common knowledge in the ninja circle.

Even hostile ninjas would naturally call him "Sawara-sama" when they saw him.

However, the ninja world did not become peaceful because of his existence.

At most, it will change from the previous chaotic large-scale wars to occasional small-scale wars.

Although the situation among the five major countries remained stable, the process of the rise and fall of small countries did not stop.

Just like the Rain Country of their childhood.

Xiaonan was stunned for a long time, as if his logic had suddenly fallen into a dead end.

“No, it’s more than that.”

"Our idea is...if"

The cold beauty subconsciously wanted to refute, but she was tongue-tied and could not utter a single complete word.

Instead, questions came to her mind one after another.

Why is it that even though Sawara Kirito is so powerful, he still hasn't been able to overwhelm the other major powers?
Why do the other major powers, knowing that Sawara Kiri has such strength, still try their best to resist him by any means necessary?

Isn't it natural for a ninja to obey the strong?

Why did I resist?

Xiaonan questioned his own heart unconsciously.

"Innocent guy."

Sahara Kiri gently patted the pale cheek of the beauty in front of him, which made her wake up suddenly. She subconsciously shrank her neck, but immediately reacted, straightening her upper body as if pretending to be tough, and almost pressed her chest against his face.

He didn't pay any attention to her little action. He turned his back to her, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then continued:
“Peace is a luxury that can never be purchased by force.”

"The ability to destroy millions or tens of millions of people in an instant, or even destroy a large country, may indeed make some people afraid to start a war easily."

"but."

Sawara Kiri suddenly turned around again, met Xiaonan's puzzled gaze with her blue eyes, and asked back:
"How strong do you think it would take to feed hundreds of millions of people?"

"."

Xiaonan didn't know how to answer.

In other words, in their naive ideas, they never considered how to maintain peace after the war was settled.

This can be seen not only now, but also in the original storyline, their approach was quite crude.

Akatsuki, an underground organization composed of ten Kage-level warriors, its main mission during the period from the Minato Naruto to the Shippuden was to make money.

To this end, they also hired Mr. Kakuzu, the most famous financial management instructor in the entire ninja world, as accountant. Most of the assets were embezzled by Nagato to rebuild the Hidden Rain Village.

A group of powerful shadow-level figures was turned into a Ponzi scheme, with people constantly dying on the way to making money and joining again.

Until the end, when this Ponzi scheme was almost completed and the Hidden Rain Village was barely rebuilt, Nagato's body was finally reaching its limit and he was almost drained to pieces. Only then did he begin the mission of collecting the tailed beasts out of necessity.

From the perspective of the five major ninja villages, the gathering of the tailed beasts was naturally a series of humanitarian disasters, with one village after another being attacked by the most powerful ones.

However, from the perspective of Akatsuki members, isn't this just one suicide attack after another?
You can't just ignore their lives just because they are strong enough, right?
In other words, Orochimaru was clear-headed enough to get out of the Ponzi scheme before the mission began and start his own immortality project and Konoha attack plan early. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what the outcome would be.

Throughout the Shippuden chapter, the two CEOs, Nagato and Konan, were working for Uchiha Madara's "Eye of the Moon" project, and they took advantage of the situation to create a new Rain Village and 600 billion detonating tags.

From this we can see that they have absolutely no idea of ​​"managing power".

Peace is certainly a good thing.

But what next?

What Sawara Kiri was thinking about was what would happen 'afterwards'.

He had been holding these things in his heart for a long time, until he met Xiaonan, a suitable person, and finally had the opportunity to speak out:
"The development of Konoha is now on a completely different scale than it was seven years ago."

"There are more than 35,000 Chunins who have found jobs after graduating from elementary school, and more than 4,000 Jonins who have found jobs after graduating from technical high school."

"In order to support these people, most of the profits of Konoha's public enterprises are handed over to the Konoha central government every year. In the process of expanding business, countless other national resources have been occupied. Most of the B-level and below tasks posted on the task board are production and medical content. In the past seven years of diversion, more than 30% of Konoha ninjas have forgotten how to fight and have turned to full-time production."

"But even so, Konoha's economy is in deficit all year round."

Sawara Kiri looked at Konan and asked, "Do you know how many unemployed ninjas there are in the other four great nations in these short seven years?"

"I, I don't know."

This cold beauty hanging on the torture rack, under the questioning of Sawara Kiri, felt as if she had suddenly returned to the special class opened for them by Uchiha Hikaru, and began to learn the chakra refining technique from the most basic level, looking so immature and ridiculous.

"The answer is more than thirty thousand." Sawara Kiri put down the teacup.

"Such a large number of ninjas have lost their jobs, which has caused countless hidden dangers for business routes everywhere. After the transportation industry was gradually handed over to Cat Express, the victims became villages, towns, and railways."

"Many of them were once upright ninjas who gave everything for the village, and they are not willing to do these things."

"but."

"People need to eat, Konan-kun."

"From the very beginning of their lives, ninjas were built as killing machines. Apart from killing, they don't know what else they can do."

"Do you think that you can kill all these people with the unparalleled power you mentioned?"

"."

Sawara Kiri continued to question: "Suppose one day, just as you said, no one wants to continue the war, Xiaonan, do you think they will be scared by you?"

"."

"."

Xiaonan's silence became longer and longer.

When a man who truly possesses invincible power in the ninja world, who is countless times stronger than you and has wisdom that is so profound that it is impossible to fathom, starts to talk to you about principles, it often only means one thing.

He was just stating something that should be considered 'common sense'.

Suddenly, Xiaonan felt that all the worldviews accumulated in the first half of her life were shattered by these few words. Her so-called ideals seemed so fragile and ridiculous in front of a person who was truly practicing their ideals. It was even a little naive, just like a child describing how he would build a big house to keep everyone warm in the future.

That kind of belief cannot be shaken by pure strength and fearlessness.

What shakes them is often the simple yet frightening facts.

Although until now, Xiaonan did not completely believe anything the man in front of her said, but deep in her heart, an inexplicable thought emerged in her heart that even she could not believe.

"I'm afraid that even if Nagato and the others gained a stronger power than this man, they would not be able to defeat him, right?"

It was just a tiny thought, but it made Xiao Nan more terrified than seeing any cruel punishment or humiliating treatment.

Almost subconsciously, like a student with a strong thirst for knowledge, she asked the teacher:

"So what exactly should I do then?"

Even she herself did not realize that her voice at this moment sounded so helpless and pitiful.

Looking at Xiaonan's expression, Sawara Kiri inadvertently raised the corners of his lips and revealed a gentle smile.

You see, this is the power of 'ideals'.

He had already made the decision the moment [Bond Level] appeared.

He wants Xiaonan, and he wants her heart too!

I have to be all!
