In the ninja world, a Second Hokage who mastered the secret techniques of Impure World Reincarnation and resurrection was enough to shake the entire ninja world, causing a huge upheaval like an earthquake.
Yekura looked at Obito with a puzzled expression, as if he were looking at a strange riddle. She couldn't understand how the other party had come to such a conclusion, which seemed like a meteorite falling from the sky.
However, after thinking about it, he didn't explain. Anyway, the situation had changed, and he didn't care about the actions Bai Jue had taken when he infiltrated.
They have all been replaced with their own people, and all the intelligence the other side possesses is under Orochimaru's control, as if they were locked in a solid cage.
Who knows what Obito's intention was in reaching this conclusion? Perhaps it was just his unfounded speculation.
After some probing and exchanges, Obito and Pakura basically confirmed that the arrival of the other party, and even the arrival of those people in the distance, was all on the orders of Tobirama Senju.
It seems that it wasn't for the purpose of protecting Sunagakure, but rather for a deeper purpose.
Ye Cang's tone was cold and tinged with sarcasm, like a chilling wind in winter, sending shivers down one's spine: "I don't care about their lives or deaths; they are nothing more than pawns in this ninja world conflict."
After saying that, he snorted coldly and thought to himself, "Sunagakure is indeed special. It seems that the secrets hidden behind it are far more complicated than they appear on the surface. It's like an iceberg, with only a small corner showing."
Obito appeared to relax on the surface, like a taut bowstring suddenly released, but inwardly he thought:
Since their presence here is none of my business, there's no need for conflict. After all, it's better to avoid trouble. In this complex ninja world situation, preserving our strength is the key.
Ye Cang's tone was icy, carrying a hint of chill, like a cold blade: "So you're just here to take advantage of the chaos? Trying to profit from this mess."
Upon hearing Yekura's words, Obito said directly, "Fighting here, I can lend you a hand so that you can deal with it more easily. After all, more people mean more strength."
Ye Cang shook his head, his eyes radiating confidence: "No need."
As a ninja, Pakura's combat awareness and command ability are not bad. In fact, in this respect, Obito, the junior, is at a disadvantage.
After several rounds of fighting, the opponent's tortoise-shell-like defense proved to be very troublesome, like a solid city wall that was difficult to break through. However, Obito was confident that he could take some time to resolve the situation.
However, the few tests just now have shown that it is extremely difficult to capture the other party alive, and even killing him is not easy. The other party is like a cunning fox, difficult to catch.
Moreover, even if she kills her opponent, she can revive once, or even a second time, like an immortal cockroach.
Therefore, it would be best to use words to make the other party back down; subduing the enemy without fighting is the best strategy.
Yekura frowned slightly, while Obito remained silent to the side.
For Obito, this battle, which had no strategic value, was the same.
With the manpower he brought, it's unlikely he can resolve the current predicament.
He glanced at the Sunagakure members who were rushing towards him because of the commotion of the battle.
Ye Cang's lips curled into a cold smile: "Since you've already done something evil, you might as well go all the way. This is far from enough."
Obito's eyes instantly turned sharp. He had never expected that at this critical moment, the other party would actually attempt to wipe out Sunagakure.
It seems that the other party's hatred for Sunagakure has penetrated to the bone.
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, hidden in the shadows, witnessed this scene. Black Zetsu muttered with some disappointment, "Why didn't Obito just kill her? Negotiating at a time like this isn't like him."
White Zetsu retorted, "Have you forgotten? Obito knew that the enemy could revive, yet he still fought to the death with Pakura. What benefit could he possibly gain?"
"Moreover, the Impure World Reincarnation is a resurrection technique. The Sand Village troops were in groups of four when they operated before, so Yekura might be able to resurrect three of them."
"If her teammates respawn, we'll be in trouble."
"But what image does Obito have in your mind?"
According to the records left to me by the adults, he was a madman.
Although judging from our interactions, he doesn't seem that crazy, in this situation, resolving problems with strength and force is more in line with the impression he left on me." As soon as White Zetsu finished speaking, he noticed that the commotion had attracted two ninjas from other villages.
At this moment, the Sand Village members arrived at the scene. Upon seeing Pakura and Obito, their gazes all fell on Obito, and their expressions changed drastically.
One of the girls, who looked remarkably like Nohara Rin, paused for a moment. Although Yekura's appearance and demeanor had changed significantly, she recognized her teacher at a glance, thanks to the unique aura of her scorching release.
"Teacher! You...you're still alive?" The girl's voice trembled as she stared at the scene before her in disbelief.
Yekura was once a hero of Sunagakure, possessing great strength, but later left the village for some reason and was eventually declared dead in a mission by the higher-ups.
Over the years, Maki had long accepted reality. Although some of her companions had repeatedly hinted to her that Yekura might have died under mysterious circumstances due to the village's higher-ups, she never imagined that her teacher would actually appear alive and well in front of her.
Ye Cang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that his other disciple was the first to arrive.
Then, she turned around, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Well then, I wish us a pleasant collaboration."
After saying that, she flashed behind the girl, grabbed her before the girl could react, and instantly left the scene.
The other ninjas were immediately confused and turned their anger towards Obito: "Why are you here? Did you cause Shukaku's rampage?"
Obito remained expressionless in the face of this sudden question, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
He slowly activated his Sharingan, and the eerie pattern caused the pupils of those present to contract involuntarily.
"Sharingan! You're a ninja from the Uchiha clan!"
"Don't look at his eyes, everyone. And the pattern on them is so intricate, it's the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan!"
"Could all of this be a conspiracy by Konoha?" the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
Konoha has no intention of forming an alliance with us.
"boom!"
A loud bang came from afar, dust rose like surging waves, accompanied by Shukaku's deafening roar.
At this moment, Shukaku was still rampaging wildly, its huge tails, like dancing pythons, waving wildly in the air.
Each swing caused the ground to shake violently, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.
The already sparse buildings in the area were on the verge of collapse under the impact of this violent force.
A series of violent sandstorms swept in, seemingly intent on devouring everything in the world, turning the sky gray and gloomy, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The continuous tremors made it feel like the sky was about to collapse, plunging the world into endless chaos and fear.
Sanrai looked at the Sunagakure members in front of him. Under their guidance, they were gradually approaching Shukaku, who was dragging his mangled body.
Chakra surged around Yamato's body like a vortex. However, the Sunagakure people, though seemingly fierce, were actually weak inside and needed outsiders to come to their rescue.
Choosing to deal with Yekura before was a complete waste of time; in fact, it was more like handing over the destruction of Sunagakure to her.
Upon seeing Obito appear, the Sand Village members immediately assumed fighting stances, puppet strings appearing in their hands like nimble kite strings, their eyes filled with vigilance and hostility.
However, Obito merely stared at them coldly, as if leaving a phantom shadow in the air before vanishing without a trace.
"Captain, what do we do now? How do we report to our superiors?" A leading Sand Village ninja quickly regained his composure and asked anxiously.
"Immediately notify Elder Ebizo to raise the alert level. Uchiha clan ninjas have infiltrated the village!" His voice revealed a deep sense of urgency.
He then turned to the person beside him and instructed, "Sihui, come with me to the Konoha embassy. We must find out as soon as possible whether this matter is related to Konoha. Also, report other important matters as well."
“Yes,” another person chimed in.
At this moment, in the conference room of the Sealed Building, Ebizo was discussing a plan with everyone.
Finally, he stood up and said, "No, I'd better go and see for myself."
No sooner had he finished speaking than an old man stepped forward to stop him: "Your puppetry skills are not very effective against Shukaku. You should stay here and keep watch."
If something happens to you during your battle with Shukaku, Sunagakure might fall apart.
Upon hearing this, Ebizo let out a long sigh and sat down again.
Perhaps the situation isn't as serious as they say, but at this moment, Sunagakure has no one more suitable as a leader.
Although preparations had been made for the daimyo's army to gradually take over the village, without his mediation, the daimyo's army and the village of Sunagakure might have clashed again, causing many more complications.
Ebizo and the old man exchanged a glance, seemingly wanting to say something.
Just then, the Obito ninja they had just encountered entered the meeting room again. Under the solemn gazes of everyone, he reported on the previous situation: "At the same time, from three directions, the intelligence department and the Sunagakure residence were both invaded."
Meanwhile, in another dark room, a group of ninjas gathered together, carefully examining the intelligence they had gathered.
After a long silence, a woman finally couldn't help but speak first: "The whole story of Lord Yecang's mission is here."
Her words broke the silence in the room, and everyone's eyes were drawn to the scroll in her hand.
After a moment of contemplation, a burly man said coldly, "We all know Lord Yecang's character very well. His actions have always been impeccable, and he has always done his best for Sunagakure. Yet, he has been treated like this in the end. What else is there to say?"
“That’s right, this gives us time to think. We must not let him down,” the other person said firmly.
Ling Mian chimed in agreement, but a Chunin hesitated and said, "But it's betraying the village..."
"But now that Sunagakure has been sold to the daimyo, what is there to say?"
Isn't betrayal simply going your separate ways?
Aren't those who seek refuge with powerful lords and pursue their interests in foreign lands just like us?
Don't forget, if those old guys hadn't chosen to follow the Daimyo, Sunagakure wouldn't be so vulnerable now, unable even to suppress Shukaku.
This person interrupted the Chunin directly.
With a hint of resentment, he looked up at his companions and continued, "As you all saw before, those old guys who pledged allegiance to the daimyo only wanted to sell Sunagakure to the daimyo and then gain a noble status comparable to an elder."
"When have they ever cared about our place, a place full of heroes, yet now struggling to survive? What is there to cherish?" The woman's voice carried a hint of resolve.
“She’s right. The daimyo has completely taken control of the ninja village’s military power, so he doesn’t need people like us anymore.”
At this moment, a burly man stood up and said in a deep voice, "Lord Ye Cang is able to return at this time and is willing to take us with him. He is much better than those old guys who only care about themselves."
He paused for a moment, then delivered his decisive blow: "You have all seen the true situation of Lord Yecang. He truly came back from the dead. He must have someone supporting him. He can even reverse life and death."
Don't tell us you don't want your deceased relatives and friends to...
Chapter 187 The Sacredness of the Daimyo
Inside the room, the group exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with excitement, and finally made up their minds.
"Lord Utatane, the people from Sunagakure have been requesting an audience and are hoping for a reply!"
“We don’t need to pay attention to it.” Inside the embassy, Koharu Utatane’s subordinate waved his hand.
Looking out the window at the restless Sunagakure, he said, "Whatever Sunagakure does today, we will turn a blind eye and report back to the Hokage later."
Ling Jiu nodded slightly, then took his leave.
On his way back to Sunagakure, he secretly pondered: encountering an Uchiha clan ninja with the Mangekyou Sharingan would be difficult to explain, and might even cause him trouble.
Ignoring Sunagakure is the best option. If the people of Sunagakure die here, what will the people from the Konoha embassy find out? What is there to be afraid of?
Inside the room, Koharu Utatane looked at the restless Sunagakure village, her heart filled with worry.
