Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 154 Sincerity and Reward! (10,000 words, please subscribe)

The sky was gray and covered with dark clouds.

A rumble of thunder sounded, and raindrops began to fall rapidly, quickly growing larger in a short time.

The sound of rushing water was incessant, as if washing away the ravaged earth.

The sky had already darkened, but countless ninjas still stood on the walls of Konoha, gazing into the distance.

Even though several hours have passed, everyone still has their own tasks.

But these ninjas couldn't resist; whenever they passed by, they would leap onto the city wall to get a good look at everything in the distance.

"Is this the power of God?"

Outside the leaf, there was originally a lush and vibrant dense forest.

As if reflecting the name of Konoha, it has existed there since the founding of Konoha.

But at this moment, everything in this area has become ruins and desolation!

All that remained was the collapsed earth and the bottomless chasm; all the mountains and trees had vanished.

The terrain and topography of this area have been completely rewritten. Everything in their memories seems like an illusion, as if it never existed at all!

"That's incredible."

Many ninjas couldn't help but murmur to themselves, knowing they would never forget the crimson chakra-covered armor.

What appears to be a giant Buddha is actually the enormous, suffocating figure of an evil spirit!

The violent aura seemed to destroy everything, accompanied by the deafening roar of a giant golden sword.

All of this has been deeply etched into their hearts!

"Hey, what are you guys doing? This isn't the time to slack off."

However, their blank staring at the outside world left many Jonin feeling rather helpless.

"Although the battle is over, no one knows if there are still any remnants of Sunagakure and Sound Ninja in the village. Stay alert!"

The fighting in the village is basically over, but no one can be sure whether there are still enemies hiding there.

After all, Konoha is so big that people can hide anywhere. It's really hard to say without a thorough search.

Even these Jonin were utterly shocked by what they saw outside Konoha, marveling at the terrifying power that existed in this world!

They all genuinely wanted to meet Xiuze, even though they weren't actually that familiar with him. They just wanted to see this man who could be called a "legend."

However, they still had to force themselves to calm down, as the problems within the village were not yet resolved.

"My lord, I understand your concerns, but..."

However, at that moment, a Konoha ninja suddenly spoke up.

He was wearing the standard green vest of Konoha, clearly indicating that he was a Chunin.

"But the Hokage's assistant has already caused such destruction, I don't think anyone would dare to cause trouble at this time, right?"

"."

The Chunin's words immediately left the Jonin speechless. Looking at the gazes coming from all around, he was at a loss for words.

Thinking about it carefully, it does seem to be true.

Having witnessed this godlike power, it's likely that no one would dare to cause trouble in Konoha anymore.

"Hey, do you think I'm dreaming?"

High above Konoha, Deidara and Darui rode together on a flying bird, gazing into the distance.

Looking at the seemingly destroyed world, Deidara's lips twitched involuntarily.

Even though half a day had passed, the terrifying scene kept replaying in his mind.

"Is this really a power that a human could wield?"

"."

Darui fell silent; he didn't know how to answer Deidara.

Because all of this was completely foreign to him!

He understood that ninjas could unleash power beyond imagination, but the problem was that this was still just power beyond imagination.

This is absolutely beyond the realm of reason!

Can this even be considered a person?

"I think we should go back as soon as possible."

With his mind in turmoil, Darui spoke, saying that he really didn't want to stay in Konoha for another second.

"You should know that Konoha has a strong intelligence network."

"Didn't Danzo die?"

Deidara seemed not to have come to his senses yet. He almost subconsciously blurted out a sentence, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he wished he could hit himself.

How could I, your humble servant, say such a stupid thing?

Danzo is indeed dead, but his "legacy" was inherited by Shihara Hidezawa!

God knows how much this guy, who's only a few years older than me, has actually gained, but there's no doubt that he's now Konoha's top intelligence chief.

"."

Darui was also confused. He stared blankly at Deidara for a while before shaking his head and speaking.

"Never mind, you can decide for yourself. I was just offering a friendly suggestion because we know each other."

We should leave Konoha as soon as possible. Who knows what kind of mess they'll find out? It wouldn't be good if they detained us.

Moreover, I think we need to go back and report on these matters as soon as possible; the impact is simply too great.

Darui was filled with bitterness. Shihara Hidezawa's performance this time was simply too outrageous, and even Konoha's performance this time far exceeded expectations.

The Sand Village and the Sound Village did cause some damage to Konoha, but this damage was nothing compared to the vastness of Konoha!

The crucial point is that this time, Kirigakure sided with Konoha, and Amegakure also contributed to the operation.

If nothing unexpected happens, Sunagakure will probably be defeated as well; he's heard about it.

"Rasa is dead!"

The Kazekage has already died at the hands of Konoha. Whether Sunagakure is absorbed or a puppet Kage is installed, the essential meaning will not change.

"At that time, Sunagakure will stand firmly with Konoha!"

The thought of all this messy stuff gave Darui a headache.

There's really no point in staying here any longer. The best option is to go back and report the situation as soon as possible, and make some adjustments and plans accordingly.

"Fortunately, the Akatsuki organization seems to have performed quite well, which is a decent bargaining chip."

Seeing that Darui had lost interest in talking and had fallen silent again, Deidara suddenly felt a little bored.

However, he also felt that he should probably go back. Staying in Konoha was quite nice, but this time he had only watched the show and had no chance to make a move.

He felt genuinely bored, not even having the chance to showcase his "art".

Of course, he did gain something!

Riding his clay bird downwards, he couldn't help but look back at the collapsed earth, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

"This seems to be true art too!"

The moonlight had already quietly fallen upon the earth, but no one in Konoha was resting at this time.

Even Hidezawa was pulled into the Hokage's office, clearly indicating that today was going to be a "long day".

"Hey, are you alright?"

Watching Hiruzen Sarutobi communicate with Genji, Tsunade, sitting to the side, tilted her head and whispered to Hidezawa.

"Can you withstand such a powerful technique?"

"Instead of asking me this question, you'd be more concerned about the light."

When Xiuze heard this question, he tilted his head and looked at Guang, who was resting with his eyes closed on his shoulder. He was speechless for a moment.

Although Xiyan wouldn't object at all, nor would she say anything, couldn't you at least consider the occasion?

"It was she who used Susanoo in conjunction with me to launch such an offensive. I probably wouldn't have been able to do this on my own."

"off"

Tsunade gave a soft hum, but looking at Hikaru's current state, she felt a real sense of unease.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Guang seems to be about the same age as Xiuze, or even a year or two younger.

But Guang was discovered by her and Xiuze together, and she knew Guang's background. He was an "old ghost" from hundreds of years ago!

Xiuze, this is...

Are you really hungry?

"At least be careful, you two. And she doesn't need to worry so much. I can tell you're the one leading the attack."

"And regarding her situation, I remember you said the Uchiha and Senju clans share the same origin, so you must have done something to her, right?"

"snort."

Hikaru opened his eyes and glanced at Tsunade, but didn't move at all.

"Oh, teacher, how could you guess that?"

Xiuze blinked, seemingly a little surprised, but he quickly laughed. He might have kept this a secret before, but it didn't matter now.

"Yes, we did try some things, and it proved to be very effective; her eyes have improved considerably."

Although the pupil technique still consumes a lot of energy, there's no need to worry about her going blind anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wanted her to cooperate like this this time.

The White Zetsu cells are more effective than I expected, and with Shuzawa using his own power to adjust them, the current results are really not surprising at all.

Moreover, Xiuze always knew that Hikaru's eyes seemed to be much stronger than those of ordinary kaleidoscopes.

The fact that she can see the fifth stage of Susanoo using her Kaleidoscope form shows that her eyes are truly extraordinary!

Combining the two will only make the effect better.

Xiuzawa even used his own chakra to help her this time, mainly for one reason only—

The number of hands in the True Thousand Hands formation is simply too large.

The True Several Thousand Hands is a monster that is over a thousand meters long, while the Susanoo, even if Madara were to come, would only be a few hundred meters long!

Xiuze remembered it all too clearly; when he used the True Thousand Hands technique to catch the Nine-Tailed Fox, it was as easy as catching a chick.

Such a massive object, Hidezawa was really worried that Hikaru wouldn't be able to withstand it, and it turned out to be true. Without Hidezawa's chakra, Hikaru wouldn't just be resting with his eyes closed right now.

"What are you talking about? Okay, let's have a meeting now."

Just as they were chatting quietly, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived with Genji and the others.

Although he looked somewhat disheveled, the smile on his face was impossible to hide.

"Hey you two, we're in a meeting, pay attention!"

When Tsunade saw that her teacher had come over, she couldn't help but remind her again.

She herself is a victim of the collapse of etiquette and music, and she doesn't care, but that's at home. She wouldn't do that outside, especially in such a formal setting.

However, what struck her as odd was that Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed completely oblivious to her presence.

Or rather, the light seemed to have become invisible, and Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even glance at it!

"Wait a minute, it seems there aren't even any Anbu members here?"

At this moment, Tsunade suddenly realized another problem: there wasn't even an Anbu in this office.

Although the Anbu may leave for crucial meetings, according to normal procedure, the Anbu will remain in the office to protect the Hokage and the safety of others.

Even if it's not necessary to go through all that trouble most of the time, it's still a safety measure.

Now there isn't a single member of the secret service here.

Thinking of this, Tsunade couldn't help but glance suspiciously at Hikaru, and then at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

When she noticed that the light seemed completely indifferent, and that Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have seen nothing at all, she couldn't hold back any longer!

"So, you two started this a long time ago, and even that damned old man found out, but he didn't say anything?"

The rites and music have collapsed!

Tsunade's mind was filled with this word. She felt that both Hidezawa and the old man had gone too far.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Hiruzen Sarutobi cleared his throat, lowered his head, pretended to take out a scroll and unfold it, and spoke in a deep voice while smoking his pipe.

"This time, Sunagakure and Otogakure have really gone too far. Tsunade, you'll be the Fifth Hokage in a few hours. What are your thoughts on this?"

And Hidezawa, you're the Hokage's assistant, you need to offer Tsunade more advice on this matter. If you were in Tsunade's shoes, what would you decide to do?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite direct, immediately asking about Sunagakure.

Tsunade snorted and crossed her arms, her gaze still fixed on Hidezawa, clearly too angry to speak.

Hidezawa was a little embarrassed. He now realized that he seemed to understand why Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were locked in a love-hate relationship.

The Uchiha clan can be a real headache sometimes, because they don't care at all what others think or how they see them.

"Lord Hokage, actually, Danzo had already planned and implemented a plan against Sunagakure when he was still the leader of Root."

Xiuze simply said, "This matter has been planned for so long, it's time to continue."

"From the very beginning, Danzo hated Rasa and believed that he would inevitably harm the entire ninja world. He hoped that either Ebizo or Chiyo would take over."

As it turned out, Danzo's judgment was correct; however, his purpose in doing so was to increase his own leverage.

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. Although Danzo's affair was not a secret, and the entire ninja world knew the general outline of it.

However, Master Yuan is still here. Even though we have already formed a substantial alliance and are just waiting to sign the agreement, it's best not to say certain things carelessly.

"So, you plan to use Rasa's death to advance Danzo's plans?"

Rasa died, and his death was truly tragic. Hiruzen Sarutobi still remembers the scene of that guy trying to stop a chariot with his bare hands.

Faced with Xiuze's attack, he summoned endless sand and iron to build a defense, but all of this was in vain.

When the colossal Buddha that blotted out the sky and carried the golden giant sword that pierced through heaven and earth gently descended, the earth was already split in two, not to mention that guy Luo Sha!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was quick to retreat, and as soon as he saw Hidezawa unleashing his full firepower, he immediately began to retreat.

He also saw Luo Sha turn into dust and drift away with the wind.

"Yes, this matter can definitely be moved forward, but my ideas are different from Danzo's."

Xiuze nodded, then shook his head.

"Lord Hokage, I wonder if you know Pakura?"

"Oh, that Sand Village ninja from Konoha?"

Upon hearing this name, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately understood what Hidezawa meant.

Is this a plan to promote Ye Cang to the position?

Actually, upon closer reflection, it seems that this is not entirely impossible!

"If I remember correctly, she was in charge of handing over the water conservancy projects between Konoha and Sunagakure and the Land of Rain."

She was also someone you saved, and you even went on a mission together in Kirigakure.

"Cough cough cough cough"

Genji coughed awkwardly to the side, which immediately reminded Hiruzen Sarutobi, who quickly changed the subject.

"She's so familiar with you, so she must be a good candidate. Since you trust her, you can give some things a try."

Perhaps we can use the damage they've caused us this time to force them to make some compromises internally.

Taking the initiative to attack an ally is unacceptable anywhere, especially since they've already killed Luo Sha. So they must make good use of this opportunity!

Hiruzen Sarutobi is no kind-hearted person; when he gets ruthless, he can be more ruthless than anyone else.

"I think this is fine, and Kirigakure can also benefit from it."

Xiuze nodded with satisfaction, while not forgetting to tell Yuan Shidao, who was sitting there feeling a bit awkward.

"We are allies, and we benefit from each other. I think the elders of Sunagakure will be interested in many things from Sunagakure, and Sunagakure will find it hard to refuse your seafood products."

"This is it, this is it."

Yuan Shi nodded. The main reason he was allowed to stay was that Konoha and Kirigakure had reached an agreement on many things.

This is currently a process of sharing intelligence, and it is also necessary for us, as 'quasi-allies,' to understand the situation in Sunagakure.

He didn't care at all about Sunagakure changing its Kazekage; after all, he'd done it before.

As long as everyone can profit, these things don't matter. Besides, he also knows that letting him hear these things is a form of respect, and it's also a way for Konoha to show its strength.

However, he didn't want to listen anymore. Konoha was too strong, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Let's talk about intelligence. As you know, the Akatsuki has caused us immeasurable damage."

I'm more interested in understanding their current situation, especially since they seem to have used some forbidden techniques this time.

"Alas, that was the 'Impure World Reincarnation Technique' invented by the Second Hokage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi offered an explanation, though he seemed somewhat melancholy himself.

"The effect of this spell is to summon the deceased to assist in battle, and the more one understands this spell, the more it can be developed."

"I'm afraid the summoned beings are becoming increasingly powerful, approaching their strongest form in life, just like this time."

Master Yuan pursed his lips, unsure of what to say. This battle seemed to be far more dangerous than he had imagined!

The First and Second Hokage of Konoha were summoned, and he had heard Zabuza and Kisame talk about that terrifying power.

And to put it bluntly, the fact that he was able to "slide on his knees" so quickly was largely due to the power that Xiuze and the others had displayed!

He understood that it was somewhat unrealistic for them to resist the Akatsuki on their own.

Currently, the only one capable of standing up to those lunatics from Akatsuki is Konoha, and only this Shihara Hidezawa!

"Actually, the First Generation Lord who was summoned this time can't be considered to be at his peak."

At this moment, Xiuze suddenly added another sentence.

"When I fought him, I could clearly feel that his power had not yet reached its full peak."

One aspect is probably Orochimaru's control, since he has always been controlled by Orochimaru, rather than fighting on his own.

On the other hand, I discovered that he was completely unable to perform the "True Several Thousand Hands" technique. Without using this technique, he naturally couldn't be considered to be at his "peak condition."

"Indeed, but even in the current situation, the First Hokage is not someone that ordinary people can fight against."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, but he was somewhat frustrated that it was already so powerful even before it was in its 'peak state'.

If Orochimaru were to further improve and reach his peak state, how terrifying would that be?

Suddenly, he thought of something.

"Xiuze, do you think we have a chance to resurrect them ahead of time using Edo Tensei?"

"."

Xiuze blinked, momentarily at a loss for words.

Is this a case of striking first to gain the upper hand?

But upon closer reflection, he realized that he would most likely think the same way if he were in that situation.

"Huh? Oh right, wouldn't it be easier for me if I summoned Grandpa beforehand?"

Tsunade, who had been lazy and unwilling to speak, suddenly sat up straight and asked with great enthusiasm.

Her appearance made Hiruzen Sarutobi cover his face in embarrassment, but fortunately, Hidezawa came to the rescue in time.

"The idea is good, but Orochimaru currently controls the First Hokage and the others, so it will be difficult for us to take control."

Moreover, instead of focusing on these issues, we should pay more attention to other things, such as the shadows of other villages.

"Shadows from other villages?"

Upon hearing this, Master Yuan could no longer contain himself and stood up abruptly, his face filled with disbelief.

"You mean, they might summon the shadows of other villages as well?"

Yeah, if they can use it, why not use it? Damn it, those bastards!

"Not just the Kage, but also those powerful ninjas who have already died—aren't these guys also good targets to be used?"

Seeing Yuan Shi's anxious face, Xiu Ze added with a smile, which made Yuan Shi even more restless.

"Excuse me, I have to leave for a while. Please forgive my rudeness."

Master Yuan could no longer sit still. He stood up to take his leave and hurriedly ran outside.

This scene made Hiruzen Sarutobi shake his head, but it also served as a wake-up call for him.

The Akatsuki are so ruthless, they might actually do something!

However, at that moment, a strange thought popped into Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

"Will they summon Danzo as well?"

The latest novel is first published here!

hum-

Inside the mysterious base in the Land of Rain, accompanied by a distortion of space, Obito Uchiha and his group emerged from the void in the next moment.

Although the Akatsuki members looked disheveled, their situation wasn't as bad as they had imagined.

Moreover, their expressions were relatively calm, except for Itachi Uchiha, whose face looked extremely pale, and Orochimaru, whose face was too pale. Everything else was fine.

"It's a familiar scene again."

Kakuzu glanced around and suddenly made a sarcastic remark.

"I said, how many times has this happened? It seems like it's always the same."

These words, once spoken, drew everyone's attention, but they quickly nodded silently.

It does feel familiar, because it seems like this is exactly how it always is whenever they encounter Shihara Hidezawa.

They gathered together.

set off.

Then I was stunned by the beating.

They felt they were extremely familiar with the entire business process, since it was exactly the same every time!

"But we're not that familiar with it yet; we've lost some men this time."

Juzo Biwa's face was somewhat gloomy. He glanced at Kakuzu and then let out a soft snort.

"Your new teammate, Hidan, doesn't seem to have returned. What happened to him?"

"He, relying on his immortality, wanted to confront Shihara Hidezawa's power head-on."

Kakuzu casually found a corner to sit down, then stretched and smiled.

"The result is self-evident. Like the Fourth Kazekage, he turned to ashes. This time, he probably won't be able to be resurrected."

Hidan's immortality is indeed very peculiar; it seems that as long as his soul remains, he can be resurrected continuously.

Even if they are brutally dismembered, it's the same!

Kakuzu was also very curious about Hidan's situation. He knew that Hidan was a "follower of an evil god" and was very eccentric.

Furthermore, there are some special secret techniques that allow him to transfer the blood of his enemies to them after obtaining their blood.

But he was really unlucky; this time he not only encountered Tsunade, but also couldn't get any blood.

Even his "boss," the evil god, couldn't pull him back from Xiuze's attack.

"That's the power of Yin-Yang Release. Hidan is powerful, but his body can't withstand Yin-Yang Release."

Obito Uchiha took a deep breath and then spoke solemnly.

"I never expected that Shihara Hidezawa's Yin-Yang Release had reached this level, but it's a good thing that we discovered it in advance."

Although we lost Hidan and the Fourth Kazekage also died, we didn't come away empty-handed.

At least we already know the approximate strength of Konoha, whether it's Shihara Hidezawa or that Uchiha.

Overall, this isn't all bad, especially since everyone is still alive.

"Since when simply being alive has become a form of success?"

Sasori tilted his head to the side, and his words immediately made Obito feel his breath catch in his throat.

Yes, since when did surviving become a success?

"Also, during the previous battle, we were all taken outside Konoha by Shihara Hidezawa. Where were you then?"

"."

Upon hearing this, Obito was at a loss for words. Should he tell the truth that he was being entangled by Kakashi?

Claiming to have a complete intelligence report, even for someone like Kakashi who only has a half-baked Sharingan, would make him extremely uncomfortable.

Obito still has a sense of shame; he doesn't want to say those words out loud!

"He might be entangled with someone."

However, the reality check came faster than expected, and Kakuzu laughed nonchalantly.

"After all, his intelligence is everywhere, and someone might be able to use that intelligence to launch a precise attack on him."

"Shut up."

Obito Uchiha was about to lose his temper. He glared at Kakuzu, and if the Akatsuki weren't short of members, he would have strangled him to death!

"However, the situation this time is much better than before."

Kakuzu naturally noticed the murderous intent in Obito's eyes, and he immediately changed the subject.

Working for Xiuze is important, but it's even more important not to lose your life!

"The First Hokage and the leader actually withstood Hidezawa's attack. Although it wasn't as strong as I had imagined, it was still a success."

"The energy expenditure is too high, and his escape technique is more troublesome than I imagined."

Payne, who had remained silent until now, slowly emerged from the shadows and offered a curt explanation.

Nagato's original body had already been brought back by Obito Uchiha, and this battle showed that Nagato was not slacking off.

The fact that the Gedo Mazo was summoned directly is a testament to their resolve!

However, even the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path doesn't seem to have achieved the results they wanted.

"The strength of the Gedo Mazo is evident, but the power at its core is still very weak."

Nagato, controlling Pain, glanced at Obito beside him, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke.

"To unleash its full potential, we'll probably need to work on other areas as well."

"I see."

Obito Uchiha nodded; he understood what Nagato meant.

The Gedo Mazo is essentially the shell of the Ten-Tails, and the power of the Ten-Tails naturally comes from those tailed beasts!

These repeated crushing defeats had long since made Obito impatient. He really wanted to complete his transformation as soon as possible and reach the level he desired.

Let's create this new world!

"How long do you estimate it will take before this desired action can begin?"

Obito Uchiha took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, and Nagato answered without hesitation.

"We could have started immediately, but this operation has been extremely costly, and it will probably take two to three years to make up for the losses."

However, you can try to obtain the Tailed Beasts in some areas ahead of time, while for others you'll need to consider other methods.

In fact, even without today's battle, it would probably have taken Nagato two or three more years to recover.

However, he was unhappy with Obito and didn't hesitate to pin the blame on Obito.

Anyway, he knows his own situation, so he can say whatever he wants!

Upon hearing this, Obito immediately lost his composure.

Is he to blame for this whole mess?

But he really couldn't explain it, because Nagato's reasoning was perfectly reasonable!

Seeing the glances from the Akatsuki members and Pain's silent stare, Obito suddenly felt his fist harden.

He knew he was really going to be the scapegoat this time!

Although Nagato couldn't see Obito's face, he could guess Obito's frustration.

This situation actually made him feel quite pleased, since he disliked Obito from the start, and in his eyes, that guy was a complete fraud!

He felt no pressure or burden whatsoever; he could feel disgusted whenever he wanted.

"only."

However, he soon couldn't help but sigh, feeling slightly worried.

"I wonder how Konan is doing now. Jiraiya-sensei has already returned to Konoha, why hasn't she chosen to leave yet?"

"I have to say, you're really bold to still be staying in Konoha."

Under the hazy moonlight, on a tall building in Konoha, Xiuze and Konan stood side by side, gazing at the distant outskirts of Konoha, which had been completely transformed.

"Also, don't worry, I've already scouted out Nagato's location beforehand, so the attack wasn't directed in that direction."

At the same time, I didn't target Obito Uchiha either, because I sensed that he had taken Nagato's main body away beforehand.

So there's no need to worry about his safety. You should also be careful; Jiraiya is in Konoha.

"Yes, I know."

A gentle breeze blew, and Xiao Nan lightly brushed back her long hair that was fluttering in the wind.

She turned her head, her bright brown eyes quietly looking at Xiuze.

"Thanks for reminding me, I'll be careful. Also, are you alright?"

"Of course it's alright. Actually, Nagato didn't risk his life this time. Although the Gedo Mazo is strong, it's not as troublesome as you might think."

Xiuze chuckled softly upon hearing this, and with a slight smile, he rested one hand on the railing and spoke.

"Also, Konoha will remember you from this operation, and it will influence future developments to some extent."

There will be no shortage of preferential measures, and there will be more necessary support, whether in infrastructure or trade.

This applies even to the Land of Wind and the Land of Water, as well as all the surrounding small countries.

And if nothing unexpected happens, you can also sell your products to those smaller countries.

The money you can make from trading is actually more than from doing tasks!

While the ninja village is primarily responsible for ninja missions, the daimyo handles the trade.

But this applies to small ninja villages. Which large ninja village wouldn't develop some necessary trade on its own, especially in the area of ​​military equipment?

In addition, some villages' specialties are constantly being exported and marketed, which are all big money-making projects.

The small villages that Konoha acquired are basically open to Konoha residents; it's not easy for others to get in.

However, many things need to be changed slightly for this Chunin Exams operation.

"Of course, the markets of the Land of Fire and your markets will open at the same time, but you may still suffer some losses, since Konoha's production capacity is much stronger than yours."

"I know that, and I'm mentally prepared for it. I just need to focus on my own unique strengths."

Xiao Nan nodded with amusement, then thought for a moment before continuing.

"Also, didn't these things start a long time ago? Although we've always been at a disadvantage, we have to admit that the development has indeed been much faster."

"It's because you feel it's not fair enough and you're uncomfortable with it, that's why I made that explanation."

Xiuze smiled, looking at the hazy moonlight, and spoke softly.

"After all, the size of the Rain Country determines many things, and that cannot be changed."

"I know, so you're making a cake now, and trying to make it big, right?"

Xiao Nan nodded; she was no longer the kind of person who only thought of solving problems through fighting.

As she took over the Land of Rain and came into contact with Hidezawa, the more she saw and learned, the clearer things became for her.

"That's good. Also, Yekura is probably going to become the Kazekage soon. Getting to know her better will be beneficial for you in the future."

Xiuze straightened up and casually patted the dust off his clothes.

"After all, she is your biggest employer, so it's never wrong to have a better relationship with her."

Also, it's late, you should go home and get some rest.

"Um."

Xiao Nan nodded, and seeing Xiu Ze turn to leave, she hesitated for a moment, but quickly asked firmly.

"When are you free? I'd like to invite you to sit down sometime, since you've helped us so much."

"When did you become so polite?"

Upon hearing this, Xiuze couldn't help but look at her with some curiosity.

"I've been busy these past few days, after all, such a big thing happened."

"I know that after dawn, your name will probably resound throughout the ninja world, Lord Hidezawa."

A rare hint of teasing appeared on Xiao Nan's usually aloof face, something Xiu Ze hadn't seen before, but he laughed along with her.

"That's true. But I don't think he's world-famous. Rather, like Danzo, he's probably an enemy of the world."

Actually, it didn't even need to be dawn; today, Shuzawa had already been hearing his name constantly throughout Konoha.

His story is being told all over Konoha now; his deeds can be heard everywhere in Konoha.

Even if it's very little, people keep talking about it tirelessly, and listeners still enjoy it even after hearing it many times.

Xiuze was somewhat prepared for this, but he realized he had underestimated the enthusiasm.

"It is true for the enemy, but not for us."

Xiao Nan gently shook her head before continuing.

"Then let's do it in three days. We'll be heading back to the Land of Rain by then."

"Then I'll do it in three days, consider it a farewell."

Xiuze nodded, put his hand on Xiaonan's shoulder, and the next moment they disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was already in Konan's room.

"Get some rest, it's getting late, I need to go home now."

"Um."

Xiao Nan nodded, standing there watching Xiu Ze's figure disappear once again.

After a while, she sat down on the edge of the bed and murmured something.

"A farewell? You've got it wrong, this is to show 'sincerity'."

Back home, Xiuze stretched lazily.

Actually, he had wanted to come back for a long time, but unfortunately, there were far more things to do today than he had imagined.

After glancing at Xiyan's room and finding no one there, he simply returned to his own room.

"There's more to the Anbu than I imagined. I'm afraid Yugao will have to spend the day with Yekura."

Shaking his head, Xiuze sat cross-legged, and in an instant, his system interface appeared in his eyes.

This operation was so large-scale, and we demonstrated such strength, all for this very moment, wasn't it?

Now everything is resolved, and things have become much bigger than he remembered, and he has shown even greater power.

His gains will most likely be substantial!

Mission Completed: Chunin Exams

[Task Rating: SSS]

[Reward: 20 Free Points]

Upon seeing this familiar opening, Xiuze couldn't help but nod slightly.

20 free points, that's enough for him to splurge!

However, that's not the most important thing; the most important thing is the subsequent rewards!

The expanded scope of the Chunin Exams has brought Sunagakure, with its additional supporters, into the opposing camp, creating numerous unpredictable developments.

[However, the host's task completion rate is extremely high, and the evaluation is extremely high, thus obtaining a special reward.]

[Wood Release Experience (Category 1, Hashirama Senju)]

【Storm Release Experience (Darui)】

[Free Points Doubled]

Upon seeing these three rewards, Xiuze was slightly taken aback, and then he instantly stood up!

"Wood Release Experience."

Although Shusawa wasn't particularly concerned about the Wood Release experience, the Wood Release experience of the peak Senju Hashirama was still worth savoring.

During this battle with Hashirama Senju, he could clearly feel that Hashirama Senju's control over the details of Wood Release was truly remarkable.

Even if it's just Edo Tensei, the precise control he displayed is something Hidezawa should really learn!

After all, he's the T0 of the Gundam version. Even if he becomes outdated in the future, he will never be bad. This kind of person is always worth learning from and observing.

And then there's the Storm Release.

"They've finally arrived!"

Although Darui didn't make a move, he was counted as belonging to the opposing camp, which gave Shuzawa an opportunity!

And Storm Release is the power he lacks most right now, and it's the power he's been pursuing all along.

Even if it's just a trial card, once he masters the formula for Storm Release, he can obtain his own Storm Release.

"Having acquired Storm Release, that marks the beginning of my ascent to godhood."

Bloodline Limits—ever since he realized he had become a "numerical monster," he had been yearning for them.

Now that the opportunity has finally arrived, how could he not be excited?!

Without a second thought, Xiuze immediately decided to have the system unfold the experience of Storm Release in his mind.

just

wow-

With a soft sound, Xiuze suddenly came to his senses and realized that his door had been opened.

"well"

And Hikari, dressed in her pajamas, was walking towards him.
