I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

The latter was not only a high-ranking advisor to Sunagakure, but also controlled all the spies and informants sent out by Sunagakure, making him an indisputable intelligence chief.

Although they had been living in seclusion for many years, the current situation concerns the life and death of Sunagakure, so they naturally need to come out of seclusion and take charge.

"I need to know exactly what happened in Konoha, the more details the better."

The younger brother, Ebizo, immediately said, "It will take some time. Our people are trying to get the information out."

Chiyo nodded, then asked, "If we were to go to war with Konoha now, what are our chances of winning?"

"Less than three minutes..."

Even lower.

After all, they had just lost the village's Kage and Jinchūriki.

"What if we just force Konoha to waive the compensation?"

Ebizo thought for a moment and said, "That depends on whether the Hokage of Konoha is resolute, as well as sacrifices and luck."

"By the way, Kirigakure's attitude might also be very important. As for the other small ninja villages, they shouldn't need to pay too high a price to be appeased, provided that Sunagakure remains Sunagakure."

The meaning of this statement is quite simple: if Konoha insists on waging war against Sunagakure, those smaller ninja villages will definitely change their tune and completely side with Konoha.

However, if they can persuade Konoha to drop the pursuit of the matter, then the others will naturally not dare to cause any more trouble and will be easily dismissed.

Chiyo said thoughtfully, "I remember we recently mobilized some supplies and sent them to Kirigakure. In any case, this is a point worth taking advantage of. I'll write a letter myself and have someone deliver it to the Mizukage later. Hopefully, there's still room for redemption."

At this point, someone couldn't help but ask, "What if Konoha insists on holding on to this?"

Chiyo immediately glared at him and said irritably, "What else can we do? Are we really going to risk the entire village to fight Konoha to the death?"

The option of fighting to the death was ruled out from the very beginning.

Chiyo's question about the odds of winning was merely an attempt to appease people and give herself a way out.

Otherwise, if she had said those cowardly and depressing things right from the start, wouldn't everyone else have been in an uproar on the spot!

In addition, Chiyo also held a sliver of hope that she could force Konoha to make concessions by adopting a "fight to the death" attitude.

After all, they were unwilling to gamble with the life and death of the entire village. Did Konoha really want to encounter an enemy who was willing to give up and do nothing?

Obviously impossible!

. . . . . . .

A few days later, in the Hokage's office.

Mei Terumi arrived with Shinji at the invitation.

"This is the compensation list sent by Sunagakure. The Mizukage can take a look at it first."

Mei Terumi didn't stand on ceremony, took it and immediately frowned.

"I think Sunagakure hasn't grasped reality at all. Is the Hokage planning to accept this ridiculous compensation list?"

Seeing Mei Terumi's expression suddenly turn cold, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt helpless.

"Of course not, but to be honest, Konoha will not really start a war with Sunagakure. I'm sure you can understand why. So for now, we can only create the illusion of war and hope to force Sunagakure to agree to our demands by taking a tough stance."

"Excuse my bluntness, but perhaps that's exactly what Sunagakure is thinking. They might be betting that this war won't break out."

Mei Terumi placed a letter on the table and continued, "Perhaps the Hokage can read this letter from Chiyo of Sunagakure before making a decision."

"In fact, my demands are not high. If I were willing, Sunagakure could even pay a higher price. The reason I didn't agree is that Kirigakure and Konoha have an unbreakable alliance. I can't sacrifice the interests of my ally for the sake of my own village."

These were the words Shinji had taught her to say before she came.

After reading the letter and listening to Mei Terumi's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately started smoking his pipe.

After a long silence, he slowly said, "It seems that I was indeed too naive and kind. I remember the help you received from the Water Shadow several times. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

Mei Terumi pretended to think for a moment, "If Sunagakure is willing to fulfill the compensation list we initially proposed, then so be it. If we cannot reach an agreement, I have only one request: to bring the One-Tailed Jinchuriki back to Kirigakure."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was instantly startled. "You want a Jinchūriki?"

“That’s right, there’s really nothing to hide anymore. Kirigakure has completely lost its original tailed beasts. The Three-Tails disappeared with the death of the previous Mizukage, and the Six-Tails’ Jinchuriki has also defected and his whereabouts are still unknown. So we need a Jinchuriki to deal with the upcoming crisis.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately gave Mei Terumi a deep look, seemingly surprised that she had such a grand ambition, actually setting her sights on the Jinchuriki of Sunagakure.

This is almost impossible.

Sunagakure will definitely pay any price to redeem the Jinchūriki.

Furthermore, he originally did not intend to detain the Jinchūriki.

But now that he had read that unsettling letter, and considering the Mizukage's help to Konoha and the varying degrees of closeness and distance in their relationship, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a plan in mind.

"Perhaps without the Jinchuriki, Sunagakure will be more peaceful."

Once this thought crossed his mind, Sarutobi began to side with the Mizukage.

He made no promises, only saying, "I understand what the Mizukage means. I will do my best to cooperate on behalf of Konoha, but the final result may not be as desired."

Terumi Mei smiled.

"Brother Shinji, please give me another chance."

After leaving the hospital, Sasuke immediately went to find Shinji, and the two went to their usual spot.

After confirming that Kakashi hadn't come along to eavesdrop, Shinji finally spoke up, saying, "The Chunin Exams are none of your business. Since they've been suspended, the exams are over."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke immediately panicked, thinking that he had no chance.

But when Shinji handed him a piece of paper, he was stunned.

"This is..."

"Organizational Contract Scroll. Sign it, and you'll be one of us."

Sasuke was instantly excited, his emotions shifting from deep sorrow to overwhelming joy; happiness had arrived so suddenly.

Without hesitation, he signed his name, and then the [Organization Contract Scroll] shattered and turned into light that entered his body.

A special mark symbolizing his identity as a member of the evil cult appeared on his back.

After Shinji explained the function of the Jashin Cult's mark to Sasuke, Sasuke immediately activated the mark on his back.

The next moment, the mysterious and eerie robes of the Evil God Cult appeared on Sasuke's body.

"This is it!"

Sasuke immediately recalled the scene from his 'dream'.

"Try not to show this outfit or your mark normally. But when you meet other members in the future, you can show each other your mark to confirm each other's identity."

"Ok!"

After admiring himself for a while, Sasuke finally removed his uniform and returned to his original appearance.

"Have you thought it through? In a few days, we'll be leaving Konoha for good. When we come back next time, everything may have changed."

“I’ve been prepared for this for a long time.”

Shinji nodded and then took out another item. "Activate your Sharingan and look at it."

Sasuke immediately did as instructed, looking into Shinji's palm, where a strange, illusory eyeball was visible.

The eyeball kept changing, from a single tomoe to a double tomoe, then to a triple tomoe, and even the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Sasuke was greatly shocked, not knowing what this thing was.

Then, when this eyeball met Sasuke's Sharingan, Shinji decisively activated the first ability of the Sharingan Ghost Soul.

[Sharingan Ghost Soul] suddenly froze at the same two-tomoe Sharingan as Sasuke, and then slowly but firmly changed towards the three-tomoe Sharingan.

At the same time, just like looking in a mirror, Sasuke's two-tomoe Sharingan also changed along with the changes in [Sharingan Ghost Soul].

Before long, the three-tomoe Sharingan appeared simultaneously in the eyes of [Sharingan Yupo] and Sasuke!

"what!"

Sasuke, having gone through something, suddenly let out a painful howl and then fainted.

However, before he fainted, his Sharingan had indeed evolved to the three-tomoe stage!

Shinji looked at the Sharingan Ghost Soul, whose first ability had entered its 90-day cooldown period, and then at Sasuke lying unconscious on the ground, speechless.

"This is the third time already..."

It seems that every time Sasuke meets him, the ending is always the same: he faints and is taken to the hospital.

It's as if he did something terrible.

However, the ability of the Sharingan Ghost Soul is indeed incredibly powerful. It easily helped Sasuke evolve into the three-tomoe Sharingan, and it can be used again after 90 days, directly breaking through to the Mangekyou Sharingan.

This isn't just forcing growth; it's cheating!

Even in the original work, Sasuke needed three years, and it was only under Itachi's stimulation, that he was able to successfully awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Looking at it this way, Sasuke's biggest gain from following Orochimaru seems to be signing a contract with Ryuchi Cave and incidentally learning the Orochimaru Substitution Technique; everything else was self-taught.

Later on, the cursed seal is really useless.

Shinji wasn't worried about misleading anyone anymore. After all, Sasuke was also an "eye ninja," and evolving into the Mangekyou Sharingan as soon as possible was more important than anything else.

So Sasuke was thrown into the hospital once again...

. . . . . .

After half a month of negotiations and two minor skirmishes.

Upon realizing that Konoha was truly determined to stand firm against Sunagakure, they finally gave in.

After all, if it really comes down to a fight to the death, the fish will definitely die, but the net may not necessarily break.

Furthermore, Kirigakure is firmly on Konoha's side, while Kumogakure and Iwagakure have ambiguous attitudes, and it's unclear what they will do.

Under these circumstances, Sunagakure, which was already lacking in confidence, finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Not only did they empty their coffers to complete the compensation list, but they still couldn't redeem the Jinchūriki.

In Konoha's words, they were worried that if the Jinchūriki returned to Sunagakure, they would become Sunagakure's bargaining chips to continue instigating war.

When Sunagakure saw that Konoha was determined not to return the Jinchuriki, they actually considered going all out and fighting Konoha to the death.
