Chapter 134 Akatsuki's New Stronghold, Madara Uchiha's Attention (Third and Fourth Updates)

After the battle, everyone went to Xia Mu's office.

"Natsuki-sama."

Haru took out a scroll and said, "These are Amegakure ninjas who are willing to surrender."

Xia Mu opened the scroll and took a look, and was immediately surprised.

Because the quantity was greater than he had imagined.

More than half of the captured Amegakure ninja were willing to surrender.

Upon closer examination, this situation is actually normal.

The reason why Amegakure dared to declare war on the three great ninja villages was because Hanzo was there.

Now that Hanzo is dead, the remaining Amegakure ninja will only become waste material for the five great ninja villages.

The captured Amegakure ninja had only two choices: death or surrender.

After all, Amegakure is no longer in a position to negotiate with Konoha, nor will it trade them back.

In fact, Amegakure is currently in a state of chaos.

As the saying goes, "When the tiger is away, the monkey is king."

Every ninja with a bit of skill came out, wanting to become the new leader of Amegakure.

Of course, Natsuki was certain that it wasn't just Amegakure involved; there might also be other ninja villages like Iwagakure involved.

"clear."

Xia Mu instructed, "Go and talk to them. Once you've reached an agreement, organize a prison break and let them go back."

"Yes, Natsuki-sama."

Qing immediately responded.

"Remember to leave them with something to use against you."

Xia Mu reminded him.

His original plan was to use genjutsu to control several key Amegakure ninjas, but there was a risk that the genjutsu could be broken and seen through.

Unless it's a genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

We don't need illusions; we just need to leave them with something to hold against us.

They are ninjas from Amegakure, and Konoha's cooperation is their weakness.

Once this is made public, they will have nowhere to stand in Amegakure.

Of course, the reason why Xia Mu didn't care was because they didn't have the strength to resist Konoha Village.

If they truly betrayed Konoha, just kill them.

"Also, prepare an identity for me as a ninja from Amegakure."

Xia Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Find one from among the deceased Jonin of Amegakure."

He didn't become a ninja in Amegakure out of boredom.

It's just to guard against unexpected situations or stronger opponents.

"Yes, Natsuki-sama."

Qing nodded and said.

"Let me know once things are settled."

Xia Mu stood up and left the office.

He returned to the Senju clan's territory.

"Natsuki!"

Kushina Uzumaki saw him and ran up to him.

Xia Mu patted her head, looked around, and found that only Rope Tree was there.

It seems that Yakushi Nonou and Tsunade went to Konoha Hospital.

After returning to Konoha, Minato Namikaze trained with Jiraiya on the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"How's your communication with Kurama going?"

Xia Mu suddenly thought of something and asked.

"It can indeed communicate, but it's indifferent to me and sometimes even complains that I'm too noisy."

Kushina Uzumaki snorted, waved her fist, and said, "Once I learn the Adamantine Sealing Chains, I'll definitely show it!"

""

The Adamantine Lock is a unique ability of the Uzumaki clan, and it is the nemesis of tailed beasts. Even the Nine-Tails cannot move when hit by the Adamantine Lock.

Xia Mu couldn't help but laugh.

Kushina Uzumaki occasionally displays her violent side as the Red Hot Chili Pepper, just like she does now.

"The Nine-Tails has been imprisoned for so long, there will come a day when it can't help but communicate with you, so don't rush it."

Xia Mu grasped her fist and said.

Kushina Uzumaki paused for a moment, then nodded shyly after feeling the warmth of the fist.

A week passed quickly.

Xia Mu hasn't been going to work much lately; he's been focusing on cultivation.

In addition to his previous learning, he also learned a lightning release ninjutsu, a wind release ninjutsu, and two fire release ninjutsu.

He undoubtedly learned Fire Release ninjutsu the fastest, because he had the Fire Release talent brought by the Jiraiya template.

The entrance to Konoha Village.

Kushina Uzumaki and Nono Yakushi both looked at Natsuki with reluctance.

"Xia Mu, are you really not letting me come along?"

Rope Tree, unwilling to give up, asked again.

"My mission this time is a mission for the Anbu. You're not an Anbu ninja, so what are you doing here?"

Xia Mu shook his head.

"Alright, you don't need to worry."

Tsunade said, "Without Hanzo, no ninja from Amegakure will be able to threaten Natsuki. He will be back soon."

"Tsunade-sensei is right."

Xia Mu paused for a moment and said, "When I come back, I will check your progress in training Armament Haki."

He taught his Armament Haki not only to Tsunade, but also to Nawaki, Yakushi Nonou, and Uzumaki Kushina.

"Will I be checked too?"

Tsunade chuckled and asked jokingly.

"Tsunade-sensei will definitely be able to learn it."

Xia Mu blinked and said.

"What kind of talk is that?"

Rope Tree immediately retorted, dissatisfied, "I can learn that too!"

"Then I'll wait and see."

After finishing speaking, Xia Mu turned and left.

After leaving Konoha Village, Haru Squad and Taka Squad appeared in front of him.

He didn't go to Amegakure alone; he brought two squads from the Fourth Division of the Anbu with him.

"Lord Natsuki, Yushu has returned to Amegakure with his men and has barely managed to bring the situation under control."

Qing spoke up.

Xia Mu was not surprised to hear this.

The Amegakure ninjas that Hanzo took with him were all elites.

After all, we have to fight against the three great ninja villages.

Most of the ninjas who remained in Amegakure were Chunin or Genin, with very few Jonin.

Yu Su and his companions were elites who fought alongside Hanzo.

Taking down a village of the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled would be no problem for them.

But this is not the point.

Xia Mu knew very well that what followed was the important thing.

That means we have to be wary of trouble from ninja villages like Iwagakure, or even trouble from Danzo Shimura.

"You go ahead to Amegakure and investigate all suspicious individuals."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then said, "Qing, I'm giving you a separate task: find a secluded place to stay in the metropolis of the Rain Country."

"Yes, Natsuki-sama!"

Qing and the others disappeared.

Xia Mu then sped towards the Land of Rain.

After arriving in the Land of Rain, he went to Yahiko's secret base.

As for Amegakure, Haru and the others' investigation will take time, so he can wait.

He hadn't seen Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato for a month and didn't know their current situation.

At the same time, he already had plans for the initial establishment of the Akatsuki organization.

Xia Mu originally intended to take them to Amegakure and have Amegakure and the others assign them identities, but after careful consideration, he realized that was not the right approach.

First, Yu Su and others are not trustworthy.

Secondly, Rain Village is unsafe, as the various villages are intertwined and they are prone to accidents.

Third, joining Amegakure would be detrimental to the development of the Akatsuki organization.

After much deliberation, Xia Mu decided to separate the Akatsuki organization from Amegakure.

He maintained the status quo of Amegakure.

Once the Akatsuki organization is powerful enough, it can replace Amegakure.

He also had ideas about where the Akatsuki organization should expand.

That is the metropolis of the Land of Rain.

This is why Qing was asked to buy a house in the Rain Country metropolis ahead of time.

For an organization to grow, the most important thing is not people, but money.

In the original story, the Akatsuki organization had been raising money before the Eye of the Moon Project even began.

The Akatsuki members, who were known for their ruthlessness, all went to honestly make money.

But in Xia Mu's opinion, doing tasks and earning bounties was too slow.

The best approach is to start with the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Rain.

Simply put, it's about doing business.

Furthermore, Xia Mu also has the need to rebuild a country.

How is reconstruction defined?

Does making a chaotic country rich count?

Xia Mu thought it counted.

The ninjas adhered to an unspoken rule: they would not lay a hand on daimyo or nobles.

Even the Akatsuki organization is the same.

Before the Eye of the Moon Project was launched, they had never robbed the daimyo and nobles of various countries.

But he's different; he can't be bothered with those rules.

"Ms. Natsuki!"

Natsuki's appearance excited Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.

The main reason is that he has been missing for so long this time that they are all afraid he will forget them or give up on them.

"How have you been lately? Have you encountered any danger?"

Xia Mu stepped forward and asked.

"no."

Yahiko replied, "After the war, we never encountered a ninja again."

The ninjas from Amegakure all returned to Amegakure to fight for power and profit.

And naturally, ninjas from other ninja villages would no longer stay in the Land of Rain.

Xia Mu nodded and took out three more scrolls, handing them to them.

"What is this?"

Yahiko asked impatiently.

"These are gifts I bought for you."

Xia Mu explained, "It's mainly some daily necessities."

He had wanted to buy some for Yahiko and the others, but unfortunately, due to the war, they were not available in many places.

"Thank you, Teacher Natsuki!"

The three answered in unison.

After they finished speaking, they channeled chakra into the summoning storage scroll.

Soon, they saw what was inside.

Indeed, as Xia Mu said, they were all everyday items.

For example, clothes, snacks, ninja tools, and potions.

Although these things are very ordinary, they are the best gifts for Yahiko and his two friends.

Xiao Nan even saw some things that girls like inside, such as plush toys.

She subconsciously looked up at Xia Mu.

This gift made her realize for the first time that the world was not all about killing and death.

"It's lunchtime, I'll cook for you."

Xia Mu entered the cave.

"Very good!"

Yahiko exclaimed happily, "Finally, I can eat Natsuki-sensei's cooking again!"

Upon hearing this, Nagato subconsciously swallowed.

During this period, the three of them cooked for themselves, and the taste was just so-so.

But the food that Natsuki made was different; it was simply indescribably delicious.

"I'll help."

Xiao Nan immediately said.

Without waiting for Xia Mu's consent, she rolled up her sleeves.

Xia Mu looked down at her.

Her arms are much thinner than those of people her age.

The main reason is that I used to go hungry often.

Although I haven't been hungry for the past month, I haven't fully recovered yet.

Yahiko and Nagato are somewhat similar.

Fortunately, they can now eat their fill and practice physical exercises to strengthen their bodies, so they will soon be back to normal.

Xiao Nan met his gaze.

She paused, hesitated, and didn't know what to say.

A flicker of panic quickly crossed her orange-red eyes, and she lowered her head.

"Would you like to learn to cook?"

Xia Mu reached out and touched her bluish-purple hair.

"think."

Xiao Nan quickly replied.

The reason she helped him was actually because she wanted to learn how to cook from him.

"I'll teach you."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

He then began to instruct Xiao Nan on how to cook.

Of course, she was too young, so the main work was done by Xia Mu.

Soon, the four of them got together.

"It smells so good!"

Yahiko wore a happy expression.

Konan and Nagato weren't as exaggerated as him, but they were both very happy.

The lunch ended in a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere.

"I have something to announce."

After finishing their meal, Xia Mu said, "We'll head to the metropolis of the Land of Rain soon."

"What are you going there for?"

Yahiko asked curiously.

"From now on, the metropolis of the Land of Rain will be the Akatsuki's base."

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

The three people were taken aback.

"Teacher Natsuki."

Yahiko asked reluctantly, "Does that mean we have to abandon this secret base?"

"Um.

""

Xia Mu nodded and said, "This secret base is too small. It won't be able to serve as a base as the Akatsuki expands."

Yahiko lowered his head.

Although he was very reluctant to part with her, he knew that what Xia Mu said was true.

"We can seal it up; it might still come in handy."

Xia Mu pondered for a moment, then said.

Upon hearing this, Yahiko immediately raised his head.

Although sealing it away is almost the same as abandoning it, at least it left him with hope.

Nagato and Konan did not want to give up this secret base.

After all, this place holds memories for the four of them.

"Let me check your training progress first, then you can pack your things and get ready to leave."

Xia Mu stood up and went outside the cave.

Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato took turns showcasing their achievements over the past month.

Before leaving, Natsuki taught them the Leaf Whirlwind, Leaf Great Whirlwind, and Leaf Power Whirlwind.

At that time, Nagato's progress was the lowest; he only knew one of the Three Body Techniques.

But after a month of catching up, he has surpassed Konan and Yahiko.

He not only learned the Three Body Techniques, but also three physical techniques.

Konan and Yahiko were slightly inferior, having only learned one physical technique.

We can't blame them.

For physical skills to be effective, physical strength is crucial.

They are naturally no match for Nagato, who comes from the Uzumaki clan.

"Nagato can proceed to the next stage of his studies."

After reading it, Natsuki said, "Yahiko and Konan, continue with the current stage."

"Yes, Ms. Natsuki."

The three answered in unison.

However, Yahiko and Konan were filled with renewed determination, wanting to catch up with Nagato as soon as possible.

"Go pack your things."

Xia Mu waved his hand and said.

After they entered the cave, he began to think about how to seal it up.

Using sealing techniques would be the best option, but he doesn't know how to use sealing techniques.

After much deliberation, they decided to use Earth Release ninjutsu to seal the entrance to the cave and then disguise it to prevent others from noticing anything amiss.

In reality, given the location of this cave, it has little value.

Ordinary people don't come here.

Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato didn't have much to pack, and they were out of the cave in less than half an hour.

"You all step back a bit."

Xia Mu began to seal the cave.

In no time, they had completed their disguise.

"Let's go."

Natsuki patted Yahiko on the shoulder and said, "You'll be back."

"Um!"

Yahiko took a deep breath and said earnestly, "We'll come back after we've achieved our dreams!"

The four of them headed towards the metropolis of the Land of Rain.

the next morning.

The four of them arrived at the metropolis of the Land of Rain.

Compared to other parts of the Land of Rain, the metropolis is much more lively.

Of course, it is far inferior to the metropolis of the Land of Fire.

"There's such a big city?"

Yahiko asked with a look of amazement.

Nagato and Konan had similar expressions.

The places they had previously wandered in were all war zones, and both villages and towns had been destroyed.

"Wait for me a moment."

Xia Mu walked to a secluded spot.

The next second, Qing appeared in front of him.

Natsuki took the key and map from her and led Yahiko and the other two into the metropolis of the Land of Rain.

Soon, they arrived at a courtyard in the south of the city.

"From now on, the three of you will live here."

Xia Mu took out the key and pushed open the door.

Yahiko and the other two couldn't help but widen their eyes.

They had never lived in such a spacious courtyard before.

"You can choose your rooms first."

Xia Mu smiled and said.

Yahiko cheered and ran with Nagato to the nearest room.

"Teacher Natsuki."

Xiao Nan looked up and asked, "Aren't you going to choose a room?"

"I'm fine with either."

Xia Mu patted her head and said, "Give me the rest of the rooms."

"How about that one?"

Xiao Nan pointed to the first room on the left.

"not bad."

Xia Mu nodded slightly and said.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan ran to choose the second room on the left.

Yahiko and Nagato ultimately chose the two rooms on the right.

"You are still young, so don't worry about the Akatsuki organization for now. Focus on your training."

Xia Mu paused for a moment and said, "But in addition to cultivation, we also need to learn some theoretical knowledge."

"Yes, Ms. Natsuki."

The three answered in unison.

A dimly lit underground space.

An elderly man with a full head of white hair is resting with his eyes closed.

Just then, a white humanoid creature emerged from the ground.

Although it looks like a human, its entire body is deathly white, and it is clearly not a normal human being.

"Madara-sama."

White Zetsu spoke up, "Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan went to the metropolis of the Land of Rain with Natsuki."

"What are you going to do?"

Madara Uchiha asked in a calm tone.

"have no idea."

Bai Jue replied, "Xia Mu bought a courtyard for Nagato and the other two to live in."

"It seems that Xia Muzhen intends to teach them."

Madara Uchiha understood after a moment's thought.

"Should we stop him?"

Another black creature appeared; it was Black Zetsu.

"There's no need."

Madara Uchiha shook his head and said, "Nagato does need someone to teach him ninjutsu."

"Natsuki is a ninja from Konoha Village."

Black Zetsu reminded him.

"It's alright."

Madara Uchiha said nonchalantly, "We'll just kill Natsuki when Nagato grows up."

To others, Xia Mu's future seemed limitless.

But in his view, Xia Mu, who had no bloodline, was destined not to go far.

No matter how strong he is, his limit is only Kage level.

To surpass the Kage level, Madara Uchiha knew exactly what he needed: the Rinnegan or Wood Release.

Black Zetsu nodded upon hearing this.

His thoughts were the same as Madara Uchiha's.

There are only two people in the entire ninja world who deserve attention: the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra's chakra, namely Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.

At most, add the Sage of Six Paths, whose whereabouts and fate are unknown.
