Naruto: Who made him a ninja?.

Chapter 158: Xiaonan's Sincerity, Moon Trip! ( words, please subscribe)
"Hey, hey, hey, it's rare to see you at the root. Why do you look so listless?"

The next day, the sun shines brightly.

However, such sunlight is difficult to penetrate into the root base, just like Xiu Ze’s current mood.

Shisui stood aside and looked at Xiuze who looked a little listless. He rubbed his hair with some curiosity.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something and asked cautiously.

"You weren't caught by Xiyan, were you?"

"."

Xiu Ze raised his head and glanced at Shisui. How could this bastard talk like that?

"Being caught? How could I be afraid of being caught? I'm not you. The whole of Konoha is eager for my bloodline to continue!"

"."

When Shisui heard this, he felt speechless. When he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

Wood Release is Konoha's signature power, and everyone would hope to continue this power.

Especially his Wood Release technique is no less than that of the First Hokage, at least that's what it looks like!
Therefore, Xiu Ze seems to be really not afraid.
"Then what are you doing?"

"Alas, you don't understand"

Xiu Ze looked like he was looking at a little chick, then he supported his head helplessly and said nothing.

Everything that happened last night is still fresh in his mind.

Xiu Ze, who was originally planning to have a good conversation with Xi Yan, was attacked by light!

In fact, Xiu Ze had already imagined such a situation, but there is a very good saying.

Fantasy is full, but reality is skinny.

The final result was that Xiyan turned into an ostrich, and Xiuze slept peacefully all night while holding her.
Thinking of this, Xiu Ze couldn't help but raise his head and asked Shisui quietly:

"You Uchiha, do you have a particularly strong desire to win?"

"?"

Shisui was a little confused, and after thinking for a while, he nodded.

"It seems to be quite heavy. What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Xiu Ze sighed, probably not wanting to recall the sad thing anymore, so he decisively changed the subject.

"By the way, where's that guy Kabuto? Why didn't I see him today?"

"He asked for leave. I think he went to an orphanage?"

Shisui shrugged, in fact, he also felt that Kabuto was very tired.

They are all deputy ministers, but he is in charge of operations. He doesn't need to think too much about many things, he just needs to take people out and do the work.

But Dou is different. He is responsible for budget, intelligence classification, and various government affairs.

He sometimes thought that when Hidezawa became Hokage, the new leader of the Root would most likely be chosen from between the two of them.

Maybe, Dou will be the new minister in the future?
He was not jealous of this. After all, he was aware of his own situation. Compared to dealing with those messy government affairs, he still preferred to lead people to fight.

"This guy, really, it's already this late, and he's actually going on vacation?"

Hidetaka rolled his eyes upon hearing what Shisui said, causing Shisui's eyes to widen slightly.

It seems that Xiu Ze has more time to rest?

But Xiu Ze didn't know what this boy was thinking, so he tilted his head and asked curiously.

"What about Sasuke? I heard he came here last night. Has he started training?"

"Training has already started today."

Shisui nodded, a smile spreading across his face.

"That kid is very hardworking and has been working extra hard over the years. It's hard for me to think of any other kid who can work as hard as he does.

But Xiu Ze, you are really a scoundrel. How did you come up with this idea of ​​Konoha at four in the morning? "

"I have seen it, and I see it quite often."

Xiu Ze gave a wicked smile without explaining.

Although his 'four o'clock in the morning' is fundamentally different from what Sasuke understands, just tell me whether it is 'Konoha at four o'clock in the morning'!
Sasuke misunderstood it himself, so should we blame him for not explaining it clearly?

presumptuous!

He is the Hokage's assistant, so no matter how you look at it, this kind of thing cannot be blamed on him!

"Speaking of which, don't you want to see that kid?"

Shisui thought about it and asked with a hint of curiosity, which made Xiuze touch his chin.

"See you, of course we have to meet properly."

After a while, Xiu Ze nodded seriously.

"I'm quite curious about this guy, and I also want to see what's happening with his eyes.

Come to think of it, I know a lot about Kaleidoscope, so maybe I can get to know him better."

I'm afraid Xiu Ze's understanding of Mangekyo is really better than that of ordinary Uchiha!

And he is indeed interested in Sasuke. After all, this kid is the reincarnation of Indra.

He was really curious about what Indra's chakra was like.
In the Land of Rain, inside the Akatsuki base.

Nagato transformed into Pain and stood on the golem, while the other members of Akatsuki had turned into shadows, obviously they had left the Rain Country.

What's more, the Rain Country is not a safe place for them. After all, it has an open alliance with Konoha.

Some people oppose this approach, while others agree.

Those who opposed it were naturally worried about exposing themselves, as Konoha's wanted list for their Akatsuki organization was extremely strong.

Those who agree naturally hope to obtain more information through the connection between the Rain Country and Konoha.

But whether it's for or against, it's not a big deal to Nagato.

As long as he wants to do it, no one else can stop him!

"Now that everyone is here, let's have the meeting."

Nagato glanced at the shadows of the others before he spoke indifferently.

"This operation was a failure, but we also learned a lot about Konoha's true strength.

I have to say, this is unexpectedly strong, so I think we need to keep a low profile for the next period of time."

No one objected to Nagato's words. This time, Konoha really gave them a great shock!

The performance of Shihara Hidezawa and the mysterious Uchiha was so incredible to them.

It is reasonable for them to keep a low profile when being chased by such a terrifying guy.

“We should really keep a low profile.”

Kakuzu nodded, and suddenly he looked at Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito, and asked curiously.

"Come to think of it, our configuration is not bad, the first Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation is here, and we also have two Uchiha.

We've seen how they cooperated, can't you two learn from them?"

"."

Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi remained silent, and they both looked at Kakuzu in tacit understanding.

At this moment, they really wanted to tear Kakuzu's mouth apart!
"Besides, the leader can summon such a huge monster that even Shihara Hidezawa's move can't break it. If you work together, you will be even stronger, right?"

"."

"Or are you two worse than the surviving Uchiha from Konoha?"

"That's enough, shut up!"

Uchiha Obito couldn't stand it anymore. He stared at Kakuzu with a cold face. At this moment, he really wanted to kill this damn bastard!
"Hey, don't be angry. It's okay if you can't do it."

Kakuzu smiled and shook his head, his eyes looking at Uchiha Itachi.

"Actually, I think Itachi-kun has a better chance. After all, you still have your brother's eyes. Maybe after getting his eyes, you can make a breakthrough!"

"."

Uchiha Itachi's breathing became a little rapid, fortunately he was in spirit form and couldn't see it now, but his fists were indeed hard.

"The entire ninja world knows that you killed your entire clan just to stimulate your brother to open his eyes so that you could dig out his eyes."

Kakuzu wasn't afraid at all, he continued to speak with a smile.

“It’s rare to find someone as cold-blooded as you, but it’s also the mark of a powerful ninja!

I've heard that some ninjas abandon their humanity the stronger they become. You even killed your entire family. I guess you're going down this path.

I have high hopes for you, Itachi-kun. As long as you get your brother's eyes, I think everything will be fine."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you!"

Uchiha Itachi couldn't help it, and his eyes became extremely cold.

I don’t know when it started, but killing the entire clan became Sasuke’s wish, and he took the initiative to collude with the Akatsuki organization to act together.

The Akatsuki organization was responsible for the surprise attack on Konoha as a way of revenge, while he was responsible for slaughtering the entire clan to force Sasuke to open his eyes so that he could get new eyes.

He was dismissive of such statements at first, but as time went on, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

Because Danzo, who knew everything, was dead, he never told the Third Hokage about his plans.

As for the new leader of the Root, who is now the Hokage's assistant, Shihara Hidezawa, although he is familiar with him, he knows that this person only wants to kill the Akatsuki organization!

In this case, his situation would be really dangerous.

Because he became an out-and-out terrorist!
Even though he never thought about living after doing that, the development of things seemed to be more terrible than he imagined.

What's more, Konoha high-ranking officials like Danzo have become rebel ninjas, Tsunade has become the fifth generation, and Hidezawa has become the assistant Hokage.

Both of them have a good attitude towards Uchiha, especially Hidezawa, who both himself and Shisui have been teammates with.

“So, does everything I do have any meaning?”

Uchiha Itachi often asked himself this question secretly, but he seemed to have no answer at all.

There seemed to be only darkness ahead of him.
"Okay, you all shut up."

Nagato shook his head. Every meeting of Akatsuki was like a vegetable market. He was used to this situation.

Of course, he had no interest in enforcing discipline, as his focus had long since shifted away from Akatsuki anyway.

"You can do whatever you want, but Akatsuki does not allow infighting. I hope you will remember this.

Let's get down to business. This guy Feidan is dead. Although I don't know whether he is really dead or not, we need fresh blood.

I heard earlier that you were investigating two individuals, and I think we can now discuss this further."

"Indeed, we examined two people. One was a medical ninja named Shennong, and the other was a Konoha rebel ninja named Beiluhu."

Black Zetsu spoke at this time. Although he wanted to jump ship, he still needed to cooperate with Uchiha Obito.

Besides, he is the one who basically handles the intelligence work for Akatsuki, so naturally he needs to be found for this kind of thing.

"These two are quite good, but we must also be mindful of the dissatisfaction that may arise from other villages if we recruit them."

"Oh?"

Nagato frowned. She didn't quite understand what this meant. Fortunately, Black Zetsu gave him the answer directly.

"That guy named Shennong stole a lot of the village's secret techniques, especially the Yunyin secret technique about physical vitality. Yunyin hates him very much.

Although Hokuroko was a rebel ninja of Konoha, he captured many bloodline ninjas in the ninja world, including the Storm Release of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Speed ​​Release of the Hidden Iwagakure Village.

Therefore, there is still a certain risk in absorbing these two guys. After all, we are now cooperating with these two villages."

"Is that so?"

Nagato nodded. These two people were better than he had imagined!

Would absorbing these two people cause resentment from other villages?

He is not afraid, he even wants it!
“Don’t worry about the other villages’ expressions. Although we need them, they also need us.

They are all here to deal with Konoha, so they should put aside their prejudices. Otherwise, without us, it will be even more difficult for them to deal with the threat from Konoha!"

"Indeed, then I will follow up on their intelligence further."

Black Zetsu thought about it and nodded. Indeed, at the moment, other villages really needed them more!
"Once we've fully determined their locations, it will be up to you to recruit them."

"Humph, such a small character is no big deal."

Scorpion shook his head in disdain, then looked up at Nagato.

“Recruiting is fine, but I also want to put forward my demands. Everyone can see the strength of Shihara Hidezawa.

Moreover, there is more than one person in Konoha who has Wood Release, and my puppets have no way to deal with them better, so I want to get more materials.

Whether it's bloodline or other special abilities, I need to be strengthened. I don't want to continue like this!"

"I need a better knife, too."

Biwa Juzo also spoke at this time, his eyes were very cold, and his beheading sword was taken away by Zabuza.

Moreover, in the previous battle, he was suppressed by Zabuza, which made him particularly unhappy.

"I think I might need some good heart, too."

Kakuzu also spoke with a smile at this time, saying that since everyone had made such a request, he couldn't just miss it.

"Maybe I can try some bloodline limits, so I might be able to unleash even greater power."

"Everyone has seen the Impure World Reincarnation. Although the strongest is Hashirama Senju, I also need other powers."

Orochimaru, who had been silent all the time, also licked his tongue. His whole body was wrapped in bandages, and it was obvious that he had changed his body!
After the White Zetsu cells were forcibly transplanted, his body violently rejected them and his body collapsed after the battle.

But he didn't take it to heart, he had already received some promises and he had his own ideas.

"I think Shadow of all ages would be a good choice. Although Shihara Hidezawa is strong, if there is someone who can hold him back from the front.

Then, the other shadows can launch attacks from other places. Even if they can't do that, I don't believe his space magic is strong enough to span all battlefields.

If we lack quality, we can only make up for it with quantity. There is only one top-level expert like him, but we can have several super experts.

I think this is a good solution.”

Orochimaru's words made everyone present nod.

Indeed, when there is no way to deal with it in terms of quality, we can only rely on quantity and disperse it to launch attacks from countless directions!
The technique of Impure World Reincarnation can perfectly create cannon fodder that is not afraid of life and death. This may be a very good method.

"So many troubles? We also need to consider the problem of the tailed beasts during this period."

Uchiha Obito frowned, but he nodded.

"It seems that we have a lot to do during this period of time."

Uchiha Obito really feels a headache now.

Strengthening one's own strength, filling the personnel gap in the Akatsuki organization, increasing the number of cannon fodder, and the tailed beasts, etc., none of these messy things are simple.

But these things have to be done!
But, can we really keep a low profile like this?

"Alright, let's do these things during this time without provoking Konoha."

Nagato thought for a moment, and suddenly he discovered something interesting!

It seemed that he could take this opportunity to allow the Rain Country to continue to develop alongside Konoha in a fair and honest manner without having to worry about these guys becoming suspicious.

The Rain Country is his top priority. Making the Rain Country develop better is more important than anything else!

Thinking of this, he immediately made the decision.

"The Rain Country will do its best to maintain good relations with Konoha, thereby providing Konoha with intelligence and avoiding direct conflict with them.

I think it would be better for us to have a stable intelligence source that can be considered an ally of theirs!"

Hearing Nagato's words, everyone present nodded.

Indeed, it would be good for all of them if they had such help!

Even Uchiha Obito, who had always been extremely disgusted with this matter, did not say a word this time, obviously agreeing.

After all, he had been beaten too much.
The next things became simple. I just briefly talked about how to allocate and do the next things.

Although these tasks are complicated, they are all powerful ninjas and have no problem with execution.

However, Nagato couldn't help but think of one thing at this time.

"Why hasn't Konan come back yet? Although she will need to go to Konoha more often in the future, it's not right for her to keep missing meetings like this."

"So, this is Indra's chakra?"

Sitting at home, Xiu Ze touched his chin and thought about something secretly.

Xiu Ze has basically completed the investigation of Sasuke, but the results of this investigation somewhat surprised him.

Indra's chakra is extremely secretive. If he had not mastered the Yin-Yang escape, it would not be so easy to detect!

But when he truly understood the nature of Indra Chakra, he found that he seemed to have overcomplicated things.

"Ultimate Yin-Tsuku Chakra?"

The ultimate Yin-Tsu Chakra, this is the most special power that Hidezawa found in Sasuke's body through Yin-Tsu!

Even Xiu Ze could only regard this Yin Dun power as "extreme".

The power was so pure that even Xiu Ze himself felt that his LV10 Yin Dun was not as good as it in terms of purity!
"But, can this power really be considered Indra's chakra?"

Xiu Ze's face looked a little strange. If Indra's chakra was just like this, it seemed a little wrong, right?

After all, these are legendary figures, and they can continue to reincarnate through this power.

If it's just pure 'Extreme Chakra', it doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it!

"Have I overlooked something, or is there something in here that I haven't discovered?"

He muttered to himself that he had been thinking about this matter for two days, and had also observed Sasuke for two days, but he still hadn't gotten the answer.

This made him somewhat depressed. Was it because his 'level' was not high enough that he couldn't see the whole picture?

"What are you thinking about, sitting here in a daze?"

Just when Xiu Ze was confused, Tsunade, who was passing by his room, saw his appearance and couldn't help but ask curiously.

As she spoke, she walked in and glared at him with a hint of displeasure.

"You bastard, you've been hiding in the Root base these past few days without coming out. Is this your attitude as the Hokage's assistant? Also, Xi Yan is from the Anbu, and you actually forced her to take a leave. You're such a bastard!"

"Xiyan has worked hard for so many days, it's normal for her to take a break."

Hidezawa raised his head, immediately put aside all these messy things, and said to Tsunade with a smile.

“As for me, I did encounter some things that I couldn’t quite understand.

And the stakes are so high that it’s hard not to take them seriously.”

"Oh? What else could make you so upset?"

Tsunade was a little curious, so she stopped scolding Xiu Ze and simply sat down next to Xiu Ze with a puzzled look on her face.

"Tell me, I want to see what you, the Hokage's assistant, are doing all day long without doing your job."

"Look at this."

Xiu Ze thought about it and simply took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag.

This scroll was specially made by him, and it contains a lot of interesting things that have been "forged"!

He had never revealed the secret of Indra and Asura's reincarnation, at least he had no intention of doing so now.

And he has further plans, and now is a good opportunity.

"what is this?"

Tsunade looked at Xiuze in confusion. She picked up the scroll and opened it without thinking too much.

After taking a careful look, she frowned.

"Hinata. What do you mean?"

"Tsunade-sensei, don't you find it strange?"

Xiu Ze spread his hands and spoke calmly.

"The Ninja World has lasted for thousands of years, and everyone has pretty much understood the power of bloodline limits, but there's one thing I'm not sure if the teacher has discovered.

Most of the bloodline limits are actually obtained through chakra fusion, but it seems that the Senju and Uchiha don't need to go through that much trouble at all.

They are all born with blood limits that originate from the changes in their bodies, whether it's their eyes or their powerful bodies, they are all the same.

This is completely different from the principles of other bloodline limits, and ours is because our ancestors are Indra and Ashura, but others."

"Do you think there's something wrong with Hyuga's ancestors?"

Hidezawa's words were so straightforward, how could Tsunade not understand what Hidezawa meant?

And these words really made her think about it.

Perhaps it was due to the long-standing habits that almost everyone in the ninja world ignored this point.

But once it was explained, especially since Tsunade knew some secrets of the ninja world, some things became extremely clear.

"Besides the Hyuga, it seems that the Taketori from Kirigakure who was exterminated also had a bloodline limit transformed from himself."

"Yes, teacher."

Xiu Ze nodded. Some things were written in the scroll, but some were not. This was also something Xiu Ze deliberately left blank.

“They had a good relationship with each other. I once asked Guang, and it seemed that Hinata and Taketori were still living together at that time.

But later they had disagreements, the Hyuga chose us, and the Taketori was unwilling to join, and in the end."

"Were they all taken care of by Uchiha Madara and went to Kirigakure?"

Tsunade nodded. She didn't know about the past, but she knew about the things that happened during the establishment of Konoha.

"So, you think there's something wrong with them?"

"No, it's not a problem. On the contrary, I think they are not simple."

Hidezawa shook his head. Hinata is not the same Hinata as the Otsutsuki of the past.

The Hyuga clan is now plagued by internal conflicts due to being a bird in a cage, especially after the death of Hizashi Hyuga, the Hyuga clan has completely lost the will to resist.

They have achieved self-castration, becoming lifeless and hierarchical, and just living their lives step by step.

Even within Konoha, their policies are very moderate.

They never make any statement. They strictly adhere to the principle of "helping whoever wins" and do not have the arrogance of the Uchiha.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that they no longer have the charm of the Otsutsuki on the moon. It is very likely that they have lost their heritage on the moon.

Xiu Ze is not really afraid of such a Hyuga clan, but they are an excellent 'introduction'!
“For a family similar to ours, the timing of his appearance in the ninja world was quite problematic.

I have read a lot of information, and the oldest information does not mention them at all, and the records about them only appear for several hundred years.

So, does this mean that they have been living in seclusion in a special place where no one can find them?

Were they forced to come out just because of some reasons?"

"There's no record of Hinata in the old documents?"

Tsunade was a little surprised. She really didn't expect such a thing to happen, and she seemed to slowly understand Hidezawa's thoughts.

"You mean, their ancestors might have experienced those years, and you want to use them to gather more information from a different perspective?"

"Yes."

Xiu Ze nodded, and his expression became serious.

“From our own perspective, what we see is only a record of the past, and such a record is full of subjectivity.

Only by looking at things from other people's perspectives can we gain more, right?"

"If you look at it this way, it does seem to be a direction."

Tsunade nodded. There was nothing wrong with Hidezawa's idea. He just wanted to look at their history and find out the details.

The answers you get may not be as many as you imagined, but you can look at your own history from other people's perspectives.

Or they could look at some changes in the world based on their historical changes, and maybe they would get unexpected answers!

What's more, this Hyuga doesn't seem to be simple at all, and their bloodline inheritance also has a very special characteristic.

In this respect, they seem to be somewhat similar to the Uchiha.
"Wait a minute, Hinata, Taketori Uchiha and Senju"

Suddenly, Tsunade seemed to grasp something important!
"Don't you think that the Hyuga and the Taketori seem a bit similar to us and the Uchiha?"

Did you just realize this?
Hidezawa looked at Tsunade speechlessly, but still nodded in cooperation.

"Indeed, the Thousand Hands Clan is born with powerful Yang escape power and possesses incredible physical strength.

Although the Bamboo Cutter clan is slightly different, their strength is also fully manifested in their bodies.

The Corpse Bone Vein may be the embodiment of their Yang Dun power, and the White Eyes."

"Corresponding to the Sharingan, is it also the power of Yin Dun?"

Tsunade seemed to see through it completely, but more doubts appeared on her face.

"But why are they using the Soft Fist? No matter how you look at it, the power of the Soft Fist seems to belong to the category of Yang Dun power."

"Who knows, maybe they were originally one, but because of the passage of time, they gradually split up and became the Hyuga and Taketori we are now."

Hidezawa wasn't sure either, because no matter how he looked at Hinata and Taketori, they seemed a little outrageous to him.

The Bamboo Cutter clan is recognized as psychopaths in the ninja world. Their brains are like paste, and it seems that they have no other thoughts except killing.

Arrogant and self-important, even more proud than those Uchiha psychopaths.

They felt as if a string was missing, and Hinata's side was even more outrageous.

They clearly have the Byakugan, but they use it like a telescope, and they don't have the style of the Otsutsuki who use it at all.

The fighting method used was the soft fist, which was more inclined towards Yang Dun. In short, it would feel weird if you didn't even dare to watch it.

The only relatively reliable explanation is probably that they really lost their heritage, which is why they became so weird!
"To find out what's going on with them, maybe we need to ask them some questions, or find more detailed information."

Xiu Ze couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to think about it. He looked at Tsunade and smiled.

"I've already had someone investigate the records of where they first appeared. Perhaps we'll be able to find something different by then.

And according to the teacher, their situation is similar to that of the Senju and Uchiha, so will their ancestors be similar to ours?

Although they may not seem very powerful now, they have had many conflicts with us in history.

If they were only at their current level, how could they have been our rivals in Guang's brutal era and continued to be so strong until now?"

After listening to Hidezawa's words, Tsunade had to admit one thing, she seemed to be a little moved!
The Hyuga and Taketori looked like mirror images of the Uchiha and Senju.

And what Hidezawa said is very right, the Hyuga clan has always been a strong opponent, it's just that they are in a weak position now.

In the past, they were very strong and glorious!

Then, they may really have an ancestor like theirs, and they may even be closely related.

Otherwise, even if it split, it would not produce such a mirror image product!

Finding the key and understanding everything in the past seems to be more important to them than they imagined.
"I understand. Just do your best and I will support you."

After thinking these things through, Tsunade nodded very seriously.

"I never thought that the history of the Hyuga clan actually hid so many unknown secrets."

"Indeed, it's unexpected."

Hidezawa got Tsunade's approval and started laughing.

But he didn't say that Hinata's situation might be even more outrageous than she imagined, because their ancestor was Otsutsuki Hamura, the younger brother of the Six Paths Sage!
These two brothers are the sons of Kaguya Otsutsuki, the ancestor of the ninja world, the owner of chakra, the goddess of the moon.

"Or is it the son who obtained the power of the sacred tree, one opened the Samsara Eye, and the other opened the Samsara Eye?"

Xiu Ze thought with some amusement in his heart, but in a moment, he seemed to have grasped the key!
"Well, stop sitting here."

Tsunade shook her head and then stood up.

"Don't you have to go to the Rain Country envoy to keep an appointment? It's already so late and you're still staying at home?"

"Oh."

Xiu Ze stood up and nodded.

"I almost forgot. Please tell the teacher, Xiyan, and Guang that I won't be home tonight."

"cut."

Hearing Hidetawa's words, Tsunade snorted coldly, but she seemed to have thought of something, and indignation suddenly appeared on her face.

"I almost forgot, you should at least pay attention to your influence. We still have little Karin at home!
It was alright before, but now one is not enough and you have to come with another one, and
Bastard, are you a ninja or not?

"."

Xiu Ze was speechless for a moment when he heard this. How could he be scolded?

And there was a bit of embarrassment on his face, so it was difficult for him to respond.

But if the problem cannot be solved, then let's solve the person who created the problem, Hidezawa looked at Tsunade tentatively and asked.

"Xianglin isn't a child anymore, why don't you let her move out?"

hum-

Before he could finish his words, Tsunade's fist was already swinging towards him, which scared Hidezawa so much that he disappeared in the room in an instant.

“It’s really violent.”

Looking at the surrounding scene, Xiu Ze couldn't help but sigh slightly, but the flash of inspiration just now was still echoing in his mind.

"The power of the sacred tree? Is it this power that makes Indra's ultimate Yin escape so incredible?"

The more Xiu Ze thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible. It seemed that only the power of the sacred tree could produce such an effect!

"The power of the sacred tree has infiltrated Indra's chakra, but I just can't detect it clearly?"

Thinking of this, Xiu Ze couldn't help but look up at the sky.

He is now looking forward to everything on the moon. After all, the power of the Samsara Eye comes from the mutation of the sacred tree.
The jade plate hangs in the sky, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

In a private room of a izakaya in Konoha, Konan was also sitting on the couch looking at Hidezawa opposite her.

There was a small table between the two of them, on which sake and snacks were already placed.

Konan has already taken off her daily disguise at this time, although she is still wearing her regular clothes and has not changed back into the Akatsuki outfit.

But this has a different flavor.

Xiaonan has a cold personality and never says much to outsiders, but today she seems a little different.

"I thought you weren't coming. What a waste of my preparations."

Xiu Ze was a little amused: "You are treating me, how can I not come? After all, we are partners, and the Land of Rain and Konoha are allies."

"Um"

Xiaonan hummed softly, and Xiu Ze gently picked up the sake on the small table and took a sip.

"Why, did I say something wrong?"

Xiaonan also picked up a glass of sake. She shook the glass and spoke slowly.

"That's right, I just feel a little emotional. After all, we have different positions and were hostile to each other at the time. No one thought things would develop to this point.

In fact, I have always been curious about what made you want to cooperate with us. After all, judging from your past behavior, you seem to hate the Akatsuki organization.

Of course, if you don’t want to say it, that’s fine, I won’t force you.”

"In fact, this is not something that cannot be said."

Xiu Ze raised the corners of his mouth, stretched slightly and said with a smile.

"I don't hate Akatsuki, I hate people who can't tell right from wrong.

You really made me feel disgusted at the beginning, just like when Uchiha Obito killed his teacher, the Fourth Hokage.

You are about the same. If I am not mistaken, it was Hanzo who instigated the war between the Land of Rain and Konoha.

But you seem to blame all of this on Konoha. Even if something happened with Danzo, how much of Konoha's problems does this represent?
From the beginning, I just wanted to use you to do something that I couldn’t get involved in, a simple employment relationship.”

Having said that, Xiu Ze paused and looked at Xiao Nan in front of him.

She didn't say anything and seemed to be listening quietly, but her expression became a little serious at this time.

"But later, I figured out a lot of things. How rational are you when you're in extreme emotions?"

Xiu Ze picked up the wine glass and took another sip, then sighed and continued.

“What Danzo has done has already caused you to break down inside, and the appearance of Uchiha Obito is likely to lead you to extremes.

But even such extremes cannot change a person's nature. I can feel your desire for peace.

You want to achieve peace by making yourselves the 'enemy of the world', forcing everyone to put aside their prejudices and unite to deal with you.

It's great, but also stupid, because you took the wrong path. But I have to admire you because you really dare to put it into practice.

Even though his heart was filled with grief and hatred, and even though he was misled by Uchiha Obito, he still firmly believed in his desire for peace.

At that moment, I changed my mind, because you are also poor people, poor people pursuing their ideals in this chaotic era.

So from then on, what I wanted to do more was to help you and realize my own ideals at the same time."

Having said this, Xiu Ze stopped completely.

Although there is a mixture of truth and falsehood in this, and it is also full of "chicken soup" attributes, it is undeniable that it does contain his true thoughts.

"Is that right?"

Xiaonan murmured, his eyes flickering a little, and it was hard to tell what emotion he was feeling, but Xiu Ze seemed to be able to feel the feeling of 'relief'.

This made him laugh a little, and after thinking for a moment he continued with a smile.

"Of course, and you're beautiful, so I don't want anything to happen to you. After all, Master Jiraiya taught me that."

"What kind of perverse logic is this? What did you and Jiraiya-sensei learn? Did you also learn things that he shouldn't have learned?"

Xiaonan glanced at Xiu Ze and said this, but there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Under the dim light, her cold and beautiful face became more gentle, and her sharp eyes also softened.

And the gaze that was looking directly at Xiu Ze seemed to have fallen, but Xiu Ze didn't care. He shrugged and smiled.

“Perhaps, but I think Lord Jiraiya lived a carefree life, even though he was a drunkard and a womanizer, and full of idealism.

But it is undeniable that he has been working hard for his goals and he also longs for the world to become a better place.

He is a good learning object and an excellent teacher, you can't deny that, right?"

"Teacher Jiraiya, he is indeed a good teacher."

Konan nodded slightly. She really couldn't deny this because she was also Jiraiya's disciple.

No matter how many flaws Jiraiya had, it was Jiraiya who saved them back then, and it was Jiraiya who trained them to become excellent ninjas.

Xiaonan has always remembered this kindness.

Although their different positions had forced them to make a choice before, she still remembered the happiest time in her heart.

And there is also a kind of kindness that completely pulls them back from falling into darkness and makes them understand many truths.

She could never forget the kindness of letting them see the Rain Country getting better and better and seeing more possibilities in the world.

"You know, Mr. Jiraiya taught us a lot of knowledge back then."

Suddenly, Xiaonan slowly put down the cup in her hand, raised her head and looked at Xiu Ze quietly.

"One of them is called repaying a favor, and you have helped us a lot and let us see a lot."

"Ok?"

Xiu Ze blinked, tilted his head and looked at Xiao Nan with amusement.

"Repaying a favor? Jiraiya is quite interesting. After all, we are partners. To trust each other, we naturally need to show more sincerity.

The size of Konoha is not comparable to your Rain Country. I am just using Konoha's resources to show my sincerity. As for you..."

"We will give you enough sincerity."

Before Xiu Ze could finish his words, Xiao Nan stood up.

She reached out and gently untied her hair, her long purple-blue hair moving without wind, and she slowly walked towards Xiu Ze.

Her voice became very soft, as if she was whispering, but Xiu Ze's eyes widened slightly.

"Do you still remember the first time you talked to me about 'sincerity'? I have always kept this 'sincerity' in my heart."

The night is long and cold, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

The candlelight in the wine house went out silently
