People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Sasuke's eyes were wrapped in bandages, and he could feel his eyes evolving in an unknown direction.

...

Earth Spider Ninja Village.

At this time, the Tsuchigumo Ninja Village was devastated, with corpses strewn everywhere.

Madara Uchiha's right foot was stepping on the head of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utsuho.

Meanwhile, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Uta, was severely injured and unconscious.

"The Six-Tails Jinchuriki has been successfully captured."

Obito praised, "Truly worthy of being a legendary ninja, the strongest member of the Uchiha clan, capturing the Six-Tails Jinchuriki single-handedly."

Madara Uchiha's expression remained unchanged as he coldly and arrogantly said, "Obito, take him back to the Akatsuki base and have Nagato arrange for someone to seal him inside the Gedo Mazo."

"how about you?"

"Now the second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh and fifth tailed beasts have been successfully captured. Apart from the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the rest of the tailed beasts are in the ninja villages. I plan to go to Sunagakure and capture the One-Tails Jinchuriki first."

"You really never stop, huh? But your strength will be greatly weakened after you leave me. Are you sure that's okay?"

Madara Uchiha sneered, "Hmph, they're just some shackled beasts. There's no need to use your full strength."

"Alright then, I'll take the Six-Tails Jinchuriki to the Akatsuki base first. After the sealing is complete, I'll come to Sunagakure to meet you."

Obito used Kamui to take the Six-Tails Jinchuriki into the dimension.

After Obito left, Madara Uchiha's face turned extremely gloomy.

"Absolutely brilliant!"

Jue slowly rose from the ground.

“I can sense that Obito isn’t entirely on our side, and Nagato is completely out of our control. Tell me, what happened during the time I was dead?!”

"When it came time to revive you, Obito hesitated and didn't fully agree. As for Nagato, he didn't trust Obito from the beginning, so it's understandable that he didn't trust you either."

Madara Uchiha sneered, "As a pawn, trying to escape the control of the player is truly naive."

"Ban, what do you plan to do?"

"First, we must resolve the side effects of the technique that revived me. I have no intention of being controlled by others. However, we still need to test Obito. If Obito has completely betrayed us, then we need to abandon him!"

Jutsu asked in confusion, "How do you test Obito?"

Do you know Loulan?

I've never heard of it: "That ancient kingdom that has vanished?"

"Although Loulan has disappeared, the dragon veins sleeping beneath Loulan have not. As long as I absorb the power of the dragon veins, I can break free from Obito's control and return to my prime!"

Madara Uchiha then said coldly, "After capturing the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, I will propose to the Akatsuki to go to Rouran to seize the Dragon Vein. If Obito stops me, then I will activate the seal on Obito's heart and abandon him. In the meantime, I will also let Nagato know who the real leader is!"

Jue sighed, "What a pity. We have to abandon the pieces we have laid out for so many years."

"There's nothing to regret. If a piece doesn't obey, it becomes a hidden danger, and if it is, it must be removed as soon as possible."

Madara Uchiha's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Chapter 322 Tsunade's Intent to Cooperate

Some time has passed.

After Tsunade took over, the situation in Konoha finally began to improve.

The current Konoha has no roots and no dark areas.

The remaining Root ninjas were all recruited by Tsunade.

Currently, there are only ninjas and the Hokage's guards.

Because all the power was in the hands of Tsunade, the fifth Hokage.

Jiraiya became the man behind Tsunade, wholeheartedly assisting her.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado secretly sabotaged Konoha when Tsunade was in charge.

However, Tsunade threatened them that if they continued, she would expose all the despicable things the two of them had done.

During their years in power, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado committed numerous despicable acts. If these were made public, they would become universally reviled figures in Konoha.

Left with no other choice, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado had to accept reality and choose to live in seclusion.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi was Hokage, his diplomatic policy with neighboring countries and villages was primarily focused on Konoha.

However, Konoha's reputation has plummeted, and the policy of establishing diplomatic relations with Konoha as the primary entity is no longer feasible.

On her first day in office, Tsunade announced that she would establish equal diplomatic relations with the surrounding ninja villages.

Committed to mutual assistance and common development.

Konoha used to be selective about which missions to accept, but now they accept all missions, no matter what they are.

Furthermore, the extremely high mission completion rate also helped Konoha regain some of its reputation.

Tsunade's reputation also grew day by day.

Meanwhile, regarding Naruto and Sasuke killing Danzo together, a large number of Konoha ninja wanted Tsunade to issue arrest warrants for Naruto and Sasuke and to punish Kagero Village.

Tsunade immediately refused this offer.

Although the village of Kagerou has few ninjas, it has far too many elite ninjas, and several top-tier Kage-level powerhouses.

Looking at the entire Hidden Leaf Village now, the number of existing Kage-level shinobi is pitifully small.

Making enemies with the Village of Blazing Sunshine is tantamount to asking for trouble, and there is absolutely no benefit to it.

On the contrary, we should take the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with Kagerou Village.

Tsunade believed that the Uchiha clan, as one of the founders of Konoha, must still have feelings for Konoha.

The most important one is Iwagakure, the village behind Kagerou-no-Mura.

If Konoha were to impose sanctions on Kagerou Village, Iwagakure would definitely step in to support them.

The most important thing for Konoha now is to consolidate its development and prevent any further turmoil.

Tsunade chose to expose what Danzo did to Naruto and the Uchiha clan during his time in charge of Root.

Once everyone knew what Danzo had done, the matter of the wanted posters for Naruto and Sasuke was dropped.

Under the combined efforts of Tsunade and Jiraiya, Konoha's economy began to gradually recover.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade was resting, rubbing her temples.

At that moment, there was a knock on the office door.

Silently, she opened the door and found Jiraiya inside.

Jiraiya teased, "Oh, it's Shizune. Did Tsunade slack off?"

"Lady Tsunade has been working non-stop and is only now squeezing out a little time to rest."

When Tsunade saw Jiraiya arrive, she said to Shizune, "Shizune, please hand over these signed documents to the person in charge. Jiraiya and I have some things to discuss."

After quietly taking the documents away, Jingyin considerately closed the door.

Jiraiya settled comfortably into a chair and asked, "Tsunade, what brings you here today?"

"Regarding the Village of Blazing Sun, I plan to personally visit them to discuss cooperation."

Jiraiya straightened his posture and said seriously, "The Village of Blazing Sun has no goodwill towards our Konoha, and their relationship with the Village of Hidden Stone is much closer. They probably won't choose to cooperate with us, right?"

"In any case, we still have to give it a try. Although the Uchiha clan has no good feelings towards Konoha, they are, after all, born and raised on this land, which is a condition that Iwagakure does not have."

"While Tsunade's idea is good, it's a pity that the Uchiha clan is no longer the closed-off clan it once was. Now they no longer just marry within the clan, but choose to choose their own partners. When the Iwagakure ninja helped develop the Kagerou Village, they must have had this purpose in mind. Several Uchiha clan members have already married people from Iwagakure. Compared to us, the relationship between Iwagakure and the Uchiha is much closer. After all, Konoha and the Uchiha are only left with sentimentality."

Tsunade frowned and said firmly, "But I still want to try. Yangyan Village is located on the border between Konoha and Iwagakure. The two villages are very close, and Yangyan Village is developing better and better. This is not good news for us. So since we don't intend to restrict them, we can only cooperate. At least we can't let Iwagakure dominate."

In the last Chunin Exams, the biggest winner was actually the Village of Kagero. Sasuke Uchiha and Kaori Uzumaki displayed strength comparable to Jonin. While our Konoha ninjas also possessed Chunin-level abilities, they were far inferior in comparison. Then came the assassination of the Daimyo, and those nations chose to cooperate with the Village of Kagero. We must take action.”

Following Tsunade's analysis, Jiraiya agreed, saying, "Since you've made your decision, Tsunade, let's do it this way. You stay in Konoha, and I'll go."

Tsunade disagreed: "Konoha is just getting back on track. Jiraiya, you stay here. I'll go in person to represent Konoha's attitude of valuing this, which will be beneficial for the negotiations."

“Then I should go even more. I have some connections with Uchiha Itachi’s master, Ubuyashiki Yosuke. Of course, this may be wishful thinking on my part, but since we know each other, the negotiations should go much more smoothly.”

After thinking for a moment, Tsunade said, "Let's go together then. The journey isn't far; three days should be enough for the round trip."

Jiraiya nodded in agreement and discussed the details of the negotiations with Kagerou Village with Tsunade.

The village of Kagerou is now thriving.

Now everyone in the ninja world knows that the founders of Kagerou Village were the Uchiha clan.

This has led many ninja villages to want to cooperate with the Village of Blazing Sun.

Even after filtering out some ninja villages with ulterior motives, there is still a considerable number of them.

With the existence of chakra metal mines, the economy of Kagerou Village is booming.

The good economic situation attracted more merchants to do business in Yangyan Village.

This led to the increase in population.

Many people who come to Kagerou Village choose to settle down here.

The ninja system of Kagerou Village has also been initially established.

The ninja system they established was modeled after the methods used in Konoha.

He founded the first ninja academy, graduated from it, and passed the exam to become a genin.

Everything in Kagerou Village is proceeding smoothly.

Chapter 323 Neji

Kagerou Village.

Itachi received a letter from Konoha informing him that they would be visiting Kagerou Village.

Itachi himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it. When Konoha invited Kagerou Village to participate in the Chunin Exams, Kakashi visited the village as their representative.
