Naruto: I can synthesize psychic beasts

Yeyue Ai shrugged easily.

"No need. It always makes people feel uncomfortable to conduct research in such an environment. Mr. Raikage, I came here mainly to buy some chakra ore from you."

Karuji Yagura said bluntly.

"Didn't we purchase a batch half a year ago? Could it be that it's used up so quickly?"

Yeyue Ai raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Although the Water Country faces great difficulties in obtaining various materials and equipment due to the influence of its geographical environment, materials that can be used to extract chakra metal are still very precious.

"Those materials have long been exhausted, and our demand for ninja swords far exceeds expectations."

"You should use it sparingly. The market for chakra metal raw materials has been highly competitive in recent years, and I don't have much."

Yeyue Ai sighed helplessly.

With the financial resources of the Cloud Ninja Village, purchasing raw materials is naturally not a problem, but they also need to use them themselves.

Be it the now prosperous Kingdom of Soup, or other major powers that are showing signs of fatigue, they do not seem to be easy targets for the Kingdom of Thunder.

What's more, he is now being closely watched by the ninjas of the Akatsuki organization.

Kumogakure tried to use Killer Bee to find out the Akatsuki hiding behind the scenes, and then take back the Two-Tails. It was obvious that they regarded him as a soft persimmon to be bullied at will.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mizukage, it looks like today's deal can't be concluded."

Who would have thought that Karujutsu Yagura smiled slightly and said in a dangerous tone, "It seems that Lord Raikage still doesn't understand my real intention. I want to say... everyone should be facing the crisis of Akatsuki organization, right?"

"Um!?"

At this moment, Yeyue Ai instantly understood why the dignified Mizukage would come to the Hidden Cloud Village under the pretext of foreign trade.

He sat up straight, looking serious, "I'd like to hear more about it."

......

At the end of February, the harsh winter has passed and the breath of spring has quietly arrived.

In a spacious and bright conference room in Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, a tense and heated meeting was underway.

Even though the sun was shining brightly outside the window and spring was in full swing, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed a little solemn.

This is because all the people participating in the discussion are high-level officials from Konoha Village, and they are responsible for important duties such as combat, logistics, medical care, scientific research, diplomacy, and guarding.

At the podium in the conference room, Uchiha Fugaku, as the advisory elder, was presiding over the meeting in a calm and firm tone.

His eyes were like torches, scanning everyone present, as if he could see into people's hearts. His voice was loud and powerful, making people feel his determination and perseverance.

"Dear colleagues, the meeting is about to end. I would like to ask if you have any questions or suggestions?" Fugaku's words were full of sincerity and respect, which moved people.

There were about twenty people sitting in the conference room, all of them were the elite backbone of Konoha Village.

Although their identities are different, some are senior ninjas and some are ninja clan leaders.

At this regular meeting, they briefly reported on the progress of the month's work as usual, and then sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the meeting to end.

Fugaku looked around and confirmed that no one had any more questions, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you all for your cooperation! Since no one has any new questions, our meeting today is now successfully concluded. Please remember that this is a critical moment, and I hope that everyone will continue to maintain a high level of vigilance in future work. Thank you all for your cooperation, and the meeting is adjourned!" As soon as Fugaku finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the conference room.

Fugaku quickly stood up, put the documents in his hand in order, tucked them under his armpits, and walked out of the meeting room with big strides. His steps were vigorous and powerful, showing his inner determination and confidence.

Fugaku's style of doing things has always been like this, clean and efficient, never dragging his feet.

Although this meeting style of getting straight to the point may be a bit monotonous and boring, for those ninjas who know that time is life, Fugaku's style is exactly what they admire most.

Fugaku walked alone on the corridor, admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window while thinking about the challenges he was facing.

He knew that the current situation was different from the original strategic plan, which might be related to the indifference of other major powers.

Originally, in Fugaku and Minato's initial plan, the four major countries were not taken into consideration. Similarly, they were not included in the plan. However, the fierce reaction of major countries such as the Land of Lightning was beyond his expectations.

"It seems that the Fourth Raikage is also feeling like a thorn in his side..."

Although the Kingdom of Hot Springs won the war with its powerful strength, it also exposed too much of its strength, making the strength of the Kingdom of Hot Springs more transparent.

In this regard, Fugaku felt that Konoha’s failure was not necessarily a bad thing. After all, it allowed other countries to see the aggressiveness of the Yugen Village and their powerful strength.

Fugaku thought to himself that it seemed that the next action might not be as smooth as he had imagined.

But no matter what, he will stick to his beliefs, forge ahead bravely, and contribute his own strength to the rise of Konoha Village again.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared beside Fugaku. It was Mikoto, who had just seen Fugaku come out of the conference room and walked over to him when she saw him standing alone in front of the window.

"Fugaku, you seem a little worried. Are you worried about something?" Mikoto asked softly.

Fugaku smiled and turned to look at Mikoto, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"I am indeed a little worried, but I am more looking forward to it. I look forward to the day when Konoha will stand up again, and the day when Konoha will fully accept me, the Uchiha!"

Mikoto couldn't help but be moved when she heard this.

She looked at Fugaku deeply, her heart full of admiration. The man in front of her was indeed a responsible and good man!

Chapter 743 Sasuke and Shisui

The forest at night seems particularly quiet.

In this dark corner, there grows a lush tree with an extremely thick trunk that almost touches the sky.

Tonight, the moonlight is like silver, shining among the leaves, making the whole forest look like a mysterious home in a dream.

However, a small house under the shade of the trees exudes an atmosphere that is completely different from the surrounding environment.

In the small room, Shisui sat alone on the bed, tightly holding a piece of information in his hand.

His eyes were firm, as if he was thinking about something important. Suddenly, his gaze turned to the window, looking at the bright moonlight, and endless emotion surged in his heart.

"Itachi...are you okay?" Shisui whispered to himself, with a complicated light in his eyes.

He knew that recalling these things did not mean much to him now, but whenever he calmed down, this familiar face would always appear in his mind, as if it were a shackle that could not be broken.

"It is because of the infighting among the village leaders that it is difficult for us brothers to meet each other!" Shisui's eyes gradually became cold, and his heart was full of determination.

He knew that every effort made by the Uchiha now was a preparation to achieve this goal.

At this moment, a rapid knock on the door interrupted Sasuke's thoughts. He looked up and saw a tall man standing at the door. It was his best friend's younger brother - Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun, why are you here? Are you okay?" Shisui's face immediately showed joy. He liked this boy who looked very similar to Itachi.

Sasuke nodded slightly as a greeting.

He looked out the window and saw that it was already late. "Will my brother come back?"

"Yes! It will definitely happen!"

Hearing this news, Sasuke's face became solemn. He knew that something extraordinary must have happened to make Shisui react so quickly.

"but......"

"We need to wait, Konoha also needs to wait..."

"Oh......"

As the night deepened, the forest returned to peace again.

And in that small house, Sasuke was still working hard silently, in order to see his brother and to protect everything he cherished.

......

A vast underground space appears before your eyes.

A tall and mighty wooden man stood in the middle of it, with its ten fingers pointing upwards and heavy chains wrapped around its wrists. It was none other than the Heretic Demon Statue!

Payne and Konan stood under the golem, jumped lightly and nimbly, and landed steadily on the golem's two fingers.

Immediately afterwards, Payne quickly formed seals with his hands, and the air above his other eight fingers began to tremble slightly, and colorful ripples emerged in an instant.

After swaying briefly, these rainbow-colored ripples condensed into lifelike human figures on the fingers, standing firmly on the golem's fingers.

"Oh? Is there something going on with this meeting?"

Kisame and Itachi were a little surprised when they appeared, but they quickly regained their composure.

"This is such a headache. I'm conducting a crucial experiment, and yet you choose to disturb me at this time."

Orochimaru's slightly irritated voice echoed in the empty space. It seemed that if he had not taken into account Pain's powerful strength, he would have already burst into curses.

"Who isn't?" Scorpion also shrugged slightly.

"This kind of thing doesn't matter anyway."

Kakuzu responded indifferently, showing no interest in the two people's complaints.

"Hey, Kakuzu, are you provoking me? Do you dare to accept my challenge to a money-obsessed guy like you?"

Scorpio pointed at Scorpion angrily, extremely unhappy with the sudden offense.

"I'm just speaking the truth. After all, everyone is busy, but you two are the only ones complaining. Besides, even if you have the strongest Kazekage as a puppet, if the real body is approached, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end it."

Kakuzu sneered softly and glanced at Scorpion with an unfathomable look.

Scorpion's heart trembled, and the next moment his eyes became extremely terrifying.

"Scorpion, please don't attack your fellow members of the organization."

Pain frowned at Scorpion, then sternly warned Kakuzu, "We're all members of the same organization. Stop saying that!"

"Yeah! Got it, Chief."

Kakuzu nodded.

"Anyway, it's best to get to the point as soon as possible. I still have some experimental materials to purchase, so I don't have much time to waste."

Orochimaru's impatient voice sounded again, urging Pein to get the meeting on track as soon as possible.

He had just been conducting the experiment for less than half a day and was completely unprepared for this sudden organizational meeting.

Kisame grinned, while Itachi remained silent.

This time, Deidara just observed everyone's words and actions with interest, and found it very interesting.

Beiliu Huze remained expressionless, paying no attention to the conversations of these people, and his presence gradually weakened.
