Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 142: Infiltrating the Kusagakure Village, Red Hair! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

Rain Ninja Village.

Silently, Xingxia Xiu replaced Kuroyu with his wooden clone and became the leader of the Rain Ninja.

At the same time, the roots of the Rain Village were officially established, and the first one to come was the masked Kuroame.

In fact, for Xingxiaxiu, killing Black Rain would be the most appropriate thing to do.

If he destroyed the body and covered up all evidence, then no one except Danzo would know that he was impersonating Kuroyu.

But after thinking about it, Xingxiaxiu left behind the black rain.

Because he can be the open Kurome, or he can be the masked Kurome, the leader of the Rain Village.

He can even be both the public Kurome and the masked leader of the Rain Ninja Root, Kurome.

It is easier to get things done if you have more aliases.

……

After becoming the temporary leader of Rain Village, Xingxia Xiu immediately began his own actions.

First, through the Black Rain, select the Rain Ninjas who are inclined towards Konoha and divide them into two parts.

One part entered the Rain Root and became a member of the Root.

This will be the most powerful violent organization in Rain Village.

A part of them set up an Anbu, which was directly under the leader.

This is a complete copy of Konoha's arrangement.

After the establishment of the Rain Ninja Anbu and the Root, Xingxia Xiu immediately conducted special training for the Anbu and Root ninjas during this period of almost ceasefire.

The instructors are Xingxia Xiu's own wooden clone and some Konoha Root ninjas.

This part of the Konoha Root ninjas was transferred by Danzo and integrated into the Rain Root.

Some of the Konoha Root ninjas also merged into the Rain Ninja Anbu.

This is another infiltration of the Rain Ninja by Konoha.

However, while the clone was busy, the real person, Xingxia Xiu, was leisurely teaching students and taking care of children at the Ninja School in Rain Village.

That day, Jiraiya hurried to the office.

"Xiu, something happened in Kusagakure Village."

Jiraiya said with a solemn expression.

Hoshita Hide looked up and was about to speak when Aburame Ryoma appeared at the door: "Captain!"

Xingxia Xiu said: "Is this information from the Grass Country?"

Aburame Ryoma nodded: "Iwagakure has conquered Kusagakure!"

Xingxia Xiu's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Jiraiya and said, "Iwagakure is planning to trade Kusagakure for Amegakure?"

Jiraiya nodded, "Although there are no further negotiations at this time, that's probably the case."

The strength of the Kusagakure Village is not too bad, and it fluctuates between the big ninja villages.

When the Rock Ninja invaded the Grass Country before, they only resisted for a while before withdrawing their strength, allowing the Rock Ninja to pass through the Grass Country and attack the Fire Country.

He neither fought to the death with the Iwagakure ninjas nor did he buy some reaction time for Konoha, so he didn't offend anyone.

However, this time the Iwagakure ninjas were in a very unfavorable situation in the Land of Rain.

Moreover, although Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to negotiate, his attitude was also very tough.

While Ohnoki was negotiating, he sent out elite troops to raid Kusagakure Village, and with his thunderous force, he forced Kusagakure Village to surrender.

It's just like the Rain Village surrendering to Konoha.

In this way, the strategic backwardness of the Iwagakure against Konoha was immediately narrowed.

Without the Land of Grass and Kusagakure as a buffer, Iwagakure can invade the Land of Fire at any time.

Jiraiya said, "The Daimyo has put pressure on the village to ensure that the Grass Country will serve as the eastern barrier of the Fire Country."

Xing Xiaxiu was speechless when thinking about the current situation.

Konoha and Iwagakure fought, and Kusagakure was destroyed.

But this is the sadness of the small ninja village. It is the same for Kusagakure and the Land of Grass, and it is also the same for Amegakure and the Land of Rain.

The Rain Country is even worse off, a land of war on all sides.

Not enough, the geographical location of the Grass Kingdom is indeed very important.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The Iwagakure occupies the Grass Country, which is very disadvantageous for Konoha.

After Hoshishita Hide signaled Aburame Ryoma to leave, he said to Jiraiya, "Are there any orders from the village?"

Jiraiya said: "I will soon lead a group of people to the north to infiltrate the Land of Grass. The best result is to unite with some people from the Grass Village to resist the Rock Ninja."

"As long as the Kusagakure ninja resist, the situation remains favorable to us."

Xing Xiaxiu nodded: "In that case, let Hei Yu take some people with you."

"We and the Rain Village are an offensive and defensive alliance, and the situation of the Kusagakure Village is also very important to the Rain Village."

Jiraiya thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The more strength you have, the more chances of winning.

Anyway, the Rain Country has a strong man like Xing Xia Xiu in charge, so no accidents will happen.

Jiraiya left in a hurry and quickly formed an elite force of fifty people to march north.

The Rain Village is led by Kuroame, and the rest are some Rain Ninjas who are not interested in Konoha.

There are thousands of people, some are smart, some are stupid, some want to rely on Konoha and use Konoha's power, and some naturally hate Konoha. After all, they have fought with Konoha before, so there is bound to be hatred.

Therefore, Xingxiaxiu must of course make his own people more numerous and his enemies fewer.

They set out at noon and arrived at the border in the evening.

However, as soon as they crossed the mountains and entered the Land of Grass, they were discovered by the Iwagakure.

Jiraiya was not surprised by this, as the Iwagakure would definitely be on guard against them.

The border of the Grass Country is not long, so it is not difficult to monitor it.

"Disperse!"

Looking at the flare rising into the sky from the Iwagakure, Jiraiya gave the order.

shhhhhh!
One after another, figures disappeared and dispersed into the dense forest in groups of four or three.

Hoshita Hideki's clone impersonating Kurome and Jiraiya, as well as a team of Mimura Yemaki.

He is also the mastermind of this operation.

The three of them advanced quickly under the tall vegetation.

Suddenly, Meicun Yejuan made a gesture, and Jiraiya and Kuroame immediately stopped.

Then figures appeared in front of them and on both sides.

Iwa Ninja!

"Eight people, Master Jiraiya, you must break out immediately!"

Mimura Yeju reminded.

Jiraiya nodded, then said to Kuroyu, "Quick battle, quick decision!"

Hei Yu nodded, then clasped his palms together.

The next moment, the water vapor around him quickly condensed, forming a stream of water, swirling around his body and surging upwards.

"Wow... such a powerful water escape!"

Meicun Yejuan was secretly shocked.

Jiraiya was also surprised. He knew that Black Rain Water Style was very powerful, but this... had it improved so much recently?
It’s a pity that Senju Tobirama is not here, otherwise he would definitely shout “This is my ninjutsu”.

Water escape - water rushes into waves!
Rumble!
The spiraling water flow split apart as Heiyu opened his hands, and like a big river, it rushed towards the Iwagakure in three directions.

"on!"

Heiyu shouted and disappeared.

Jiraiya immediately called out to Mimura Hamagaki.

The former used the Water Instant Body technique to slide at high speed on the surging water, following the surging water and killing the Rock Ninja on the right.

Mimura Yejuan was behind Jiraiya on the right side. He did not master the water instant body, but just ran wildly with his feet and formed seals with his hands quickly.

A stone wall rose up in front, blocking the surging water and allowing the water to pour over from both sides.

However, as Kuroyu crossed his arms, the water rushing through the two sides of the wall rolled back and rushed towards the Iwagakure hiding behind it.

The Iwagakure immediately jumped onto the wall and was about to form hand seals to perform a ninjutsu when Jiraiya's ninjutsu arrived.

Fire Style - Big Flame Bomb!
Rumble!
The fire bomb exploded, the wall collapsed, the three Rock Ninjas leaped, and were then enveloped by the wind escape technique that followed.

Wind Escape-Big Breakthrough!
It is the technique of Mimura Yemaki.

The strong wind swept through, interrupting the Iwagakure's hand seals and blowing him away. Although he was not injured, he lost the initiative.

Jiraiya came and his white hair hardened and turned into thousands of densely packed hairs that shot out.

A shrill scream was heard, and an Iwagakure was stabbed like a hedgehog.

One Iwashi nin only took a few hair-splitting Senbon hits on his arm, while the other avoided it completely and hid behind a tree.

The next moment, wind-escape bullets hit the tree trunks, creating deep holes.

At the same time, the Iwa Ninja with an injured arm retreated, and just as he landed, the ground beneath his feet turned into a swamp.

Earth Escape - Yellow Spring Swamp. "Damn it!"

The Iwa Ninja, who was gradually sinking into the swamp, wanted to struggle, but he could only sink deeper and deeper, and was finally completely submerged by the swamp.

The last Rock Ninja created a clone as bait, and his real body rushed out from another direction, opening his mouth and shooting dense rock cannons at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's figure flashed, and he barely avoided a few of them before being hit. His body turned into a stream of water and fell down with a splash.

"Shui's identity..."

The Iwagakure's expression changed, and the clone over there had been killed by Mimura Yeju.

At this time, Jiraiya fell from the sky, holding a Rasengan and smashing down.

boom!
The ground sank, and the clothes on the Iwagakure's shoulders were torn into pieces, but the exposed skin was brown.

Hardening!
As Jiraiya dodged and retreated, his long hair grew rapidly and swept around, entangling the rising Iwagakure.

The next moment, a fireball hit the Iwa Ninja's head accurately.

It's Mimura Yemaki's Fire Style.

The hardening technique is not invincible. The fire escape hit the face of the Rock Ninja, and he let out a shrill scream, and his whole body was on fire.

It’s a long story, but in reality the two of them teamed up to deal with the three Iwa ninjas, and the battle lasted less than three minutes from start to finish.

But when they looked back, they saw a huge water dragon swooping down and hitting two of the Rock Ninjas, while the other three had already fallen.

The battlefield has become like a lake.

The two men stepped forward and saw the two halves of an Iwagakure's body. They immediately determined that it was cut by something extremely sharp, but it didn't look like a knife.

The chests of the two other Iwa ninjas collapsed, obviously they were crushed by the huge force.

Jiraiya felt a little weird.

He fought alongside Kuroyu more than once, but he was not as strong as her, even though he was also a Jonin.

How come the killing is so fast?
Could it be related to the special training before Xingxiaxiu?

He knew that Xingxia Xiu led the Root to conduct special training for some Rain Ninjas, and Kuroyu was among them, but it was only for half a month, so the effect couldn't be so terrifying, right?

But there was no time to think or ask at the moment, so we just looked at each other and continued on our way.

The Grass Kingdom is not peaceful in the dark night.

The scattered Konoha ninjas and Rain ninjas caused chaos in this area, and the team composed of three senior ninjas, Kuroame, Jiraiya, and Mimura Yemaki, was like a sharp blade, cutting through the defense lines set up by the Rock ninjas and the Grass ninjas.

At dawn, Kuroyu and the other two had already reached the outside of Kusagakure Village.

Hide and rest while discussing the next course of action.

It is difficult to infiltrate the Kusagakure Village and contact the possible Kusagakure ninjas to resist the Iwakure ninjas.

It is not difficult to infiltrate, but it is a bit difficult to contact the Grass Ninja to resist the Rock Ninja.

But this step must be tried.

After discussion, Kuroame was responsible for sneaking into the Kusagakure Village, while Jiraiya and Mimura Hamaguri were responsible for picking them up.

The reason is that Kuroyu is proficient in water jutsu and can enter the Kusagakure Village through the river.

Because there happens to be a river running through Kusagakure Village.

Two hours later, it was dawn.

After resting for two hours, Kuroyu separated from Jiraiya and the others. After leaving the sight of Jiraiya and Mimura Yeju, he immediately disappeared underground.

The wood escape technique from White Zetsu, Tangenin, allows one to travel freely underground.

He easily entered the Kusagakure Village, quickly eliminated a Kusagakure, absorbed his chakra to replenish himself, and used barter to impersonate him.

For Xingxiaxiu, such infiltration is too easy.

Especially at present, the Kusagakure Village seems to be on high alert, but because the ninjas from the two villages are mixed together, there are many loopholes.

After changing two identities in succession, Xingxia Xiu entered the hospital of Kusagakure Village.

Ok?
Suddenly, Xingxia Xiu saw a red-haired girl who was shouted at and walked to the bedside, and then her arm was bitten by the grass ninja on the bed.

"Karin's mother..."

His eyes flashed, but Xingxia Xiu ignored it. At this moment, he had pretended to be a Kusagakure medical ninja.

While treating the Kusagakure ninja, he listened to these "companions" complaining about the Iwakure ninja.

Currently, the Kusanagi are forced to fight against Konoha, resulting in heavy casualties and complaints.

Hoshita Hide could understand the Iwagakure's idea, which was to make the Kusanagi and Konoha become enemies, so there would naturally be no way out.

Even if there are peace talks in the future and the Iwagakure withdraws from the Land of Grass, the relationship between Konoha and the Kusagakure will never return to the past.

This is obviously a targeted plan made by the Rock Ninja in response to the situation in the Rain Country.

If the Rain Village and Konoha become friends, then the Kusagakure Village, which was originally used as a buffer, will become enemies with Konoha.

With this addition and subtraction, the Rock Ninja neither loses nor wins.

After listening for a while, Xingxia Xiu felt that the task that was originally a bit difficult did not seem to be too difficult.

However, he did not act immediately, but waited quietly until night.

Late at night, the hospital gradually became quiet.

Xingxia Xiu entered the ward, hypnotized the Kusanagi silently, and then obtained information.

One, two, three...

More and more information was collected, and an hour later, Xingxia Xiu left the Kusashi Hospital.

……

"Who?"

In the home of a Kusa-nin Jonin, the Kusa-nin on the bed turned over and looked at the figure in the darkness with great vigilance.

"Lord Jingwu, I have no ill intentions!"

Xingxiaxiu stepped forward, walked out of the darkness, and revealed his face in the moonlight.

"Rain Ninja!"

Jing Wu's pupils shrank.

Xing Xiaxiu nodded: "My name is Hei Yu!"

Jing Wu was shocked: "You, the acting leader of Rain Village?"

"How will you be here?"

Xingxiaxiu said: "Of course I'm helping you."

"You don't want Kusagakure and Konoha to become enemies, nor do you want your fellow villagers to fight against Konoha, right?"

Jing Wu was silent for a moment, then said, "Weren't you also forced by Konoha to fight against the Iwagakure?"

Xingxiaxiu said: "No!"

"The Rock Ninja have always been our Rain Ninja Village's enemies. Our cooperation with Konoha is equal."

"What's more, the situation of our Rain Village is even more difficult than your Grass Village. We must rely on Konoha to stabilize the domestic situation."

"But you... have now become cannon fodder for the Iwagakure, and have become a bargaining chip for the Iwagakure to use against Konoha."

Jing Wu frowned: "What do you want?"

Xingxia Xiu said: "Help you defeat the Rock Ninja and help you become the leader of the Grass Ninja Village."

Jing Wu's heart was moved, but he shook his head: "You can't do it!"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "Do you think I'm just alone?"

"Besides, I know that many of you are unwilling to fight Konoha."

"You contact those people, and with us, we can mobilize both internally and externally, and we will definitely succeed."

"There aren't many Iwagakure forces here."

"After the defeat, we will continue to attack the Iwagakure with you. Together with Konoha's frontal forces, our chances of victory are great."

"Even if there is no way to completely defeat the Iwagakure, we can at least free the Kusagakure from the control of the Iwagakure."

Jing Wu hesitated.

Xingxia Xiu said coldly: "Your attitude should not be hidden from the Iwagakure, or even your current leader, right?"

"If you don't resist, you'll probably die soon in the battle with Konoha!"

Jing Wu's heart trembled.

He knew that Xing Xia Xiu was not exaggerating.

But he was already dissatisfied with the Iwagakure and the current leader of the Kusagakure, and then died in the battle with Konoha.

Jing Wu gritted his teeth and said, "I also want to expel the Iwagakure, but there aren't many people in the village who are willing to do so. Most of those who are clearly opposed are on the front lines."

Xing Xiaxiu smiled and said, "We don't need many people."

"You just have to make sure they don't leak it."

"We are going to kill your current leader and the Iwagakure."

"Kill your current leader first. Get rid of him and his henchmen. Then your companions will hesitate and won't help the Iwagakure against us."

"After all, they were forced into doing so."

"On the contrary, as long as you have the upper hand, they will immediately support you!"

Jing Wu's eyes fixed, and he nodded, "Okay, I'll go contact someone now!"
