From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 249 No choice

"Konan's Heart Knot (Shallow)"

"Details: He trusted me because of his ideals, but he could not ignore the gravity of reality. I was still his captive after all. To reverse this situation, as a woman, I can only use this roundabout way to save the world."

"First, I have to find a way to make him bow down to me completely."

"Men conquer the world, women conquer men"

Almost at the same moment when this prompt popped up, Sawara Kiri looked at the woman opposite him.

Unconsciously, her demeanor seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

However, this kind of psychological change and behavioral reversal cannot be accomplished overnight.

Xiaonan listened to Sawara Kiri's words, and a trace of emotion appeared on her always cold face. Then she restrained herself again, and her tone remained the same as usual:
"Then you really gave me a good excuse to kill Konoha ninjas."

"I hope you won't regret it."

"Sahara Kiri."

It has to be said that every woman is a master in performing arts.

This is especially true for beautiful women.

If Sawara Kiri wasn't able to directly see Konan's inner changes through other methods, I'm afraid even he himself would be a little unconfident at this moment.

In fact, at this moment, Xiaonan himself was also feeling extremely anxious deep in his heart.

At this moment, every movement and every reaction of hers was actually a risk - at the same time, it was also testing Sawara Kiri's psychological bottom line.

However, Sawara Kiri seemed not to be affected by her words at all, and still maintained that gentle smile, and even seemed to be inexplicably relieved:
"It's great that you can put aside our previous grudges."

"So, happy working together?"

He said, extending his hand in Konan's direction.

The tolerance shown by his reaction, which was totally unmoved by her words, was really impeccable - at least, from Xiaonan's point of view, if that series of events had not happened before, even she herself would have to doubt whether she would have wholeheartedly submitted to this guy and served him wholeheartedly.

Even though they were enemies before.

This made Xiaonan's self-doubt intensify.

At the same time, it made her desire to control this man more urgent.

Her thoughts were stirring, but on the surface she remained calm as she raised her hand and held hands with Sawara Kiri, putting her five fingers together and feeling the warmth from the other's palm.

However, just when she was about to let go, she found that her slender hand was still held in Sawara Kiri's palm.

Xiaonan's heart skipped a beat and she looked at the man in front of her with strange eyes.

"What?"

Sahara Kiri's smile remained the same: "Have you forgotten?"

"Since I want you to help me, it is only natural that I give you equal power."

Xiaonan was stunned when he heard this.

Strength, can it still be given?
"Now, let go of your heart."

Sawara Kiri's voice sounded softly in her ears.

Almost subconsciously, Xiaonan's whole body relaxed.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible wind blew up from this small office, and a steady stream of chakra was like a storm, connected by the palms of the two people, and quickly poured into Xiaonan's body, making a loud noise.

The violent fluctuations that surged like a raging tide made Xiaonan even subconsciously widen his eyes, like a believer who had witnessed a miracle. He stared at the pair of blue eyes that were always as calm as a mirror lake in disbelief, and subconsciously uttered:

"This is."

It’s a pity that before her voice fell.

The violent storm that had arisen suddenly had already poured into her body.

The turning pages in the office fell lightly, the overturned chair slid aside, and the flying hair fell on the shoulders. Everything seemed so dull.

If it weren't for the power that could be clearly felt in her body, Xiaonan would even think that this was another illusion created by "mirror flowers and water moons".

But, this is exactly.
Xiaonan raised his hands almost instinctively.

Sahara Kiri, who had been holding her tightly just now, naturally loosened his hands and let her lower her head and stare at him blankly.

All the smell characteristics around became so strong at this moment.

Xiaonan can clearly feel everything around him through his sense of smell and taste, and even has the illusion that he can talk to tables, chairs and benches.

Only the portrait in her eyes was a little blurry, making it difficult for her to remember clearly, as if it was covered by the overly strong smell.

'Wait, this doesn't seem to be an illusion?'

Xiaonan raised her head and looked out the window at a little bird perched on the eaves of the house.

Almost at the moment when her attention was focused on it, a large number of disorganized memories and impressions gathered from the other party's body into her brain, most of which were scenes of Konoha Village overlooking from a high altitude.

She even seemed to be able to control the bird and make it fly to where she wanted to go.

In addition, the essence of the body has also been greatly improved, and the control of chakra and the perception of external natural energy have all become extremely clear.

If animals can be controlled, then what about humans? What about the tailed beasts?

Just a few brief thoughts made Xiaonan feel a little excited.

At the same time, he was even more wary of Sawara Kiri's unfathomable means and power.

Sawara Kiri didn't disturb her, but just looked at her with a quiet smile.

At the same time, I was a little surprised.

"Is this how it feels?"

'Holiness.'

He could clearly feel that a part of his own chakra was like being connected to an invisible thick black tube, continuously flowing into Xiaonan's body, but it was also under his control, and he could even extract more of it from Xiaonan's body after a certain period of time.

In addition, this power belonging to him seemed to have produced some kind of wonderful chemical reaction in Xiaonan's body, causing her to awaken a kind of power that surpassed herself and should not exist in this world.

Some are similar to bloodline limits, but seem to transcend this range and reach a higher dimension.

'Monitoring and control type abilities?'

"If Xiaonan explores this route further, he should be able to get more brilliant results, right?"

"And this power is still growing with Konan's "awakening"? "

'Not bad.'

Sahara Kiri thought so in her heart, and the smile on her lips seemed to be more sincere than the last second, and her tone became sincere:
"Keep working hard, Xiaonan."

".yes."

At this moment, Xiaonan's response undoubtedly came from the heart.

Unconsciously, her gaze towards Sawara Kiri became more and more eager.

How many treasures does this man have that have not yet been discovered by the world?
Xiaonan, wants to know.

This is different from the lively and war-preparing scene in Konoha.

On the other side of the ninja world, there was a gloomy atmosphere.

Ever since the projection appeared in front of Ohnoki, there has been a constant silence among the four parties. No one spoke the first word, and the silence remained as dead as death.

Oonoki was under tremendous pressure deep down.

Although they already knew that they were facing a constantly developing and reforming Konoha, and the situation was already in a dead end, before the result was finalized, they still held on to a tiny, unrealistic hope in the deepest part of their hearts.

Everyone knows that they are gambling, but what if they win?

Unfortunately, the results are often extremely cruel.

They lost.

Once again, he was defeated so completely in front of Sawara Kiri.

Until the end, the fourth generation Ai, who still had the hottest temper, could no longer hold back his anger and said in a low voice: "They are all dead? Why don't you talk about what to do now!"

"I know what to do? Why don't you tell me why the plan failed?!"

Garuda in the projection opposite was even more furious, like a volcano erupting in pain on the last day of her period. Her fingertips tapped the table quickly, making a clattering sound, and she shouted like a female leopard, "My people have already completed the original plan at the cost of their lives, and in front of Sawara Kiri!"

"Where are your people?!"

What she was referring to was naturally Scorpion's nuclear explosion puppet.

"My people?!"

Ohnoki was furious, and a lion-like roar erupted from his short body, with bloodshot eyes: "The Five-Tails Jinchuriki of this generation of Iwagakure Village has died! That bastard Sawara Kiri chopped off his head!"

"For at least half a year, the Five-Tails won't be able to be resurrected. Where do you think my people are?!"

"Not to mention that the exam site is set in the Hidden Rock Village. Most of the military base has been scrapped. From now on, we can only rely on the existing weapons to fight the war."

"That's basically risking the lives of the Iwagakure ninjas!"

"What the hell!" Ai's voice became even louder, and the short hair on his head stood up under the stimulation of lightning. "If you, an old man, hadn't said that you had a way to deal with Sawara Kiri, I wouldn't have been so bored as to participate in such an unreliable plan of yours!"

"it's good now?"

"You little bastard, you went to the base with us, how dare you——"

"If you, an old ghost, hadn't boasted in front of me that you had a solution, why would I have watched it!" Ai glared at the projection, "And that damn 'Zhi Ju'! I only know that little dwarf who talks nonsense."

"enough!!"

With a low roar, all the mutual accusations in the projection stopped.

In fact, everyone knew that their current behavior of shirking responsibility was completely meaningless, but facing the pressure from Sawara Kiri and Konoha, everyone present felt despair in their hearts, and as the Kage of each village, they had nowhere to vent.

Now, after hearing this roar, their brains suddenly became clearer, and they all turned to look at the projection that made the sound.

Otsutsuki Urashiki's expression beneath the mask was equally gloomy and uncertain.

Others didn't know what that so-called 'artificial human' was, but how could he not know?
They relied on the power of Lord Shibai to jump here from the original world line.

Otherwise, they would have died at the hands of the future Sawara Kiri in another world line seven years ago.

But now.
'No. '

'wrong! ’

"The reason for this is not because Master Shiba is not strong enough, but because this carrier is not enough to bring out even one ten-thousandth of the master's strength."

'If, if there is a more suitable carrier'

Otsutsuki Urashiki gritted his teeth secretly and clenched his fists so tightly that his fingertips almost sank into his flesh.

Besides, he couldn't give up on these inferior creatures.

At least, they are now all within the range of Sawara Kiri's 'hostile forces'.

He thought so quickly, and his voice soon calmed down: "We haven't reached the last step yet. Although there were some small mistakes in the plan, which prevented you from leaving Sawara Kiri in a fixed location, I believe everyone should have known what happened in Konoha through various channels."

"."

The figures around him all looked at him silently without saying a word.

indeed.

Although their intelligence network within Konoha has now been basically eradicated, the profession of ninja has no fixed rules and there are many different means.

Although the conflicts within Konoha were suppressed by Sawara Kiri, it does not mean that they did not exist.

The number of 'friends' who were willing to reveal some information to them was actually not small, but under the overwhelming pressure from Sawara Kiri, none of them dared to show up.

They were naturally also very clear about the guy who fought with Sawara Kiri for dozens of rounds in the center of Konoha without a clear winner, and finally forced Sawara Kiri to take the initiative to request a change of venue.

An artificial human?
They were not very sure about the answer.

But for those who are at the bottom of despair, do they have any other choice?

"What do you mean?"

In the end, it was Ōnoki who spoke in a deep voice.

These words, which symbolized the surrender of the initiative, made the other two feel relieved, but also inexplicably tense.

No one likes the 'unknown.'

Otsutsuki Urashiki's voice was calm, even cold: "I have already informed you all in advance."

"That form is only the 'first stage' of what we have cultivated."

"Although my current strength is still not comparable to Sawara Kiri's, the current result is not bad."

"As long as everyone can hold on for a while longer and cooperate with my plan, 'Dark Shiba' can reach its full form."

"When the time comes, why should we worry about not being able to conquer Konoha?"

Yes.

However, what we need to face at that time is the second 'Sawara Kiri' that we have indulged, right?

Everyone present was very clear about this.

However, the two choices before us, immediate concerns and long-term considerations, are often equivalent to no choice.

"Is there enough time?"

After a long silence, Jialuo Luo suddenly spoke.

"not enough."

Otsutsuki Urashiki's answer was very calm: "So, we can only use more radical methods."

As he spoke, he took out a box from his sleeve, revealing white seeds that looked like sunflower seeds.

"This is a split species of the Flower of God."

"Next, please distribute them to every ninja in each village who needs to go to the battlefield."

As soon as he heard what he said, Ohnoki immediately reacted and glared:
"You're going to desecrate a corpse?!"

Otsutsuki Urashiki turned to look at him and asked:

"Lord Tsuchikage."

"Do we have a choice?"

Just this one sentence made the whole audience fall silent.

Yes.

They had no choice.
