Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

"I understand, Xiaonan..."

"Next, I will gather my own strength..."

Chapter 254: Creation of Xiao (Part 2)

A small country that has just been destroyed, the country of ghosts.

A tall man carrying a suitcase was walking among the ruins of the devastated city.

The place was littered with rotting corpses and the land was stained dark brown with blood, but this man did not show any other emotions... His face was nothing but calm.

For no other reason than that he was the one who destroyed this country.

However, he did not do this to vent his cruel desire for destruction. Although he pursued strength, in a sense he was not actually a murderer... In theory, he destroyed a small country only because the reward for this task was very generous.

Workers, working spirit, only by working can you become a superior person.

The mission was completed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the sound of unhurried footsteps reached his ears, which made him stop instantly... In this dead silent environment, the sound of human activities was particularly alarming.

"You're not the type to be intoxicated by this level of power, are you?"

When the smoke and dust cleared, a figure with brown hair and a face full of black metal "decorations" appeared here.

"No, I simply completed a very cost-effective task."

The tall ninja seemed calm, but he was actually extremely cautious. He stared at the other's eyes without blinking.

"The rebel ninja of Takigakure, the immortal ninja, Kakuzu, it should be you, right?"

Tiandao's question was a bit redundant. If it wasn't Kakuzu, he wouldn't be here. It's just that confirming the other party's identity is a necessary procedure in the recruitment work, even if he is conducting a direct recruitment of the BOSS here.

"It's me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Kakuzu was still staring at those eyes.

Tendou, or Nagato behind him, thought that this was a one-way recruitment and he should be full of mystery, but in fact it was a two-way race - Kakuzu had a "spy" mission, so he could even recognize these eyes.

"I'm here for true peace in the ninja world. I hope you can join my organization... Wait, do you recognize my eyes?"

Kakuzu deliberately made it obvious, so there was no reason for Tendō not to notice this anomaly.

"Living long always has its advantages. I've heard rumors about this Immortal Eye, but I never thought it actually existed..."

The other party maintained the persona of a "domineering president", and Kakuzu was not willing to be outdone. So what if he was a domineering president? He was just a little brat in front of me.

Sometimes people can do whatever they want when they are older. At Kakuzu's age, he is very suitable for scamming people on the street.

"That's easy to say. I am the chosen one to bring peace to the ninja world. These eyes are the proof. In order to achieve my grand goal, I need to gather a group of powerful ninja companions."

"Peace in the ninja world? I'm not interested... From the war era to now, how long do you think I've lived, and how many wars and conflicts have I witnessed?"

Kakuzu is indeed not interested in peace. It's not that he is simply relying on his seniority. It's just that after living for a long time, he has come to regard war as a "natural phenomenon", just like a typhoon. Is it necessary for humans to eliminate typhoons?

"If that's your attitude, I'll have to use force to make you submit."

When the Heavenly Dao is recruiting workers, it certainly won't allow them to say "no". After all, he is about to claim to be a god. How can a god allow mortals to resist?

"That's not necessary. Although I'm not a ninja specialized in perception, I'm still capable of judging the chakra strength between you and me... There's no need to fight. I'm no match for you."

Kakuzu spoke in a very arrogant manner, but he actually chose to admit defeat. For a moment, Tiandao was confused, and a look of bewilderment was clearly revealed on his dead face.

Aren’t all the veterans who survived the war so flexible?

This person is neither cooperating nor admitting defeat. What should I do?

Fortunately, just as Tiandao was considering how to continue the negotiation, Kakuzu took the initiative to take over the topic:

"Under the gaze of these immortal eyes, it seems I won't be able to escape unscathed today. However... I may agree to your request, but there is something I want to confirm beforehand."

"Are you planning to choose life or death based on my answer? Well, that's a form of open-mindedness."

Tiandao was fooled. Anyway, Kakuzu looked like a senior master.

"Will the organization's goals interfere with individual behavior and goals?" asked Kakuzu.

"Beyond the organization's mission, you are free to do whatever you want. I have no reason to interfere... as long as it does not interfere with the organization and its mission."

"In that case, I choose to join your organization... I've lived for so many years, and I've occasionally found a place to stay."

It's perfectly reasonable for Kakuzu to be cowardly. It's just a part-time job, and there's nothing unacceptable about it, especially when compared to the other option of "death."

"As expected of a senior ninja, you are very sensible... By the way, what is your personal goal?"

He would rather die than not agree. Tiandao believed that even if Kakuzu's personal purpose was not grand, it was at least very clear. However...

"make money."

"..."

Tiandao fell silent again.

Kakuzu's answer was so vulgar, and the level of thought reflected in it made people wonder if he had lived in vain all these years.

Money is something you can't bring with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die. Even the dimes you earn are not precious metals, but paper money that has no actual value... I understand. He is old and is saving paper money to burn for himself when the time comes.

The two men left the small country one after the other. During the period, Tiandao briefly introduced the situation of the organization, focusing on the long-term goals and the current course of action... Leaving aside the long-term goals, the purpose of their actions at this time was to recruit talents, reserve funds, and lay the foundation for future actions. It can be regarded as a "dormant period."

"Gathering talents?"

After hearing this, Kakuzu seemed to remember something. He was silent for a moment before explaining:

"It's about finding like-minded strong people... Although I personally have no interest in peace in the ninja world, I know there is a strong person who has been pursuing this goal."

"A strong person, could it be a strong person of your generation who is still alive?"

Seeing Kakuzu's serious words, Tendou was also curious. In this era where the five major ninja villages dominated the ninja world, what was the most important thing? Of course, talent.

"Yes, I wonder if you have heard of an organization called 'Firefly'?"

"I've heard that it was a ninja mutual aid organization during the war years. It had lofty ideals in the beginning, and the current systems of the major ninja villages can be traced back to this organization. But after this organization was incorporated into Konoha, it instantly became indistinguishable from the crowd and lost its loftiness and purity." Tiandao said.

If Nagato considered himself an idealist, then he had no reason not to study the life trajectory of another idealist predecessor. However, after studying it, he felt only disappointment.

Kakuzu thought to himself, you're jumping into the trap yourself, so don't blame me.

"Indeed, within this organization, there was once a figure who had always followed the leader, Hazin. After Konoha was founded, he made outstanding contributions to the village. However, he soon realized the corruption of the ninja village system and, feeling that his ideals had been tarnished, he faked his own death and left Konoha..."

"There is such a person? Who is he?"

"The sharp edge of the Firefly Organization, the pioneer and founder of Konoha's medical system, the famous yet unknown contributor, his name is 'Gan Bunchui'."

amount……

Kakuzu Kakuzu, how many Ganbunchui are there in the ninja world?

"Gan Wencui? I seem to have heard of this name. Is he still alive?"

At this time, Tiandao only felt, "Is it really that magical?" If it was really Gan Buncui, then there was nothing wrong with the life trajectory described by Kakuzu. That kind of ninja is indeed an idealist who pursues peace.

Even though Nagato's peace plan is a sour-smelling peace plan, let's ask whether it is peace.

Nagato even felt a hint of resonance at this moment.

"Yes, he's currently living in seclusion somewhere in the ninja world. It's only ninjas of my generation like me who have heard of his experiences... You know, he's the pioneer of limb regeneration technology. Unlike me, he can indeed live for many years using orthodox methods."

Kakuzu continued to emphasize his seniority in order to increase the legitimacy of the character "Gan Bunchui".

"This man went into seclusion because he was disheartened. He left Konoha right around the time the First Ninja World War broke out. By then, he had fully understood the utter failure of the ninja village system and deeply regretted the capitulationist actions of the leader of the Firefly Organization. So, he chose to completely withdraw from worldly affairs."

In order to create a character, you can use another character as a stepping stone. Kakuzu used Yuzhen as a stepping stone for Ganbuncui.

The story ends here, and now we can see how Heaven reacts.

After a moment of silence, Tiandao gave an order to Jiaodu:

"Find this Ganbunchui... Kakuzu. This is your first mission after joining the organization. Don't let me down."

"Yes, chief."

How could Kakuzu possibly disappoint him? In his opinion, if it weren't for Gan Wencui, there would be no need for him to join the organization at all... Humph, do you think I'm recruiting for the organization? In fact, I'm just a traitor.

…………

"Hey, is the super-realistic house-playing about to begin?"

Yuzhen soon received the information from Kakuzu, and he decided to participate in the awesome party of Akatsuki... On the one hand, in order to wait for the fruit of the sacred tree, he was free anyway; on the other hand, he needed to get in touch with the nine tailed beasts again from beginning to end, and if he stayed in Akatsuki, this goal would be achieved naturally.

Although what is happening now is what Yuzhen has discussed with Kakuzu long ago, Kakuzu is still very cautious since he knows some information about the Rinnegan.

Adhering to the principle of playing the whole show, he really went out to carry out the mission of finding Ganbun Cui. There were even traces of Ganbun Cui left in different places in the ninja world. It was with the help of these traces that Kakuzu was able to follow the clues... It was a super-realistic playing house, and the emphasis was on super-reality.

Two months later, Kakuzu finally found Ganbunchui, and after explaining the situation and obtaining his consent, he took him to the Hidden Rain Village.

Yu Zhen adjusted his appearance and went to meet Tiandao "openly"... Gan Wencui's character is still very easy to shape. His "original template" Hatake Sakumo was originally a person with a cold face and few words. After being a lonely old man with shattered ideals for so many years, he became even more withdrawn to the extreme.

Being a loner is relatively easy to portray.

It turned out that Kakuzu's role-playing was very useful. After all, it seemed inappropriate and lacked trust for a newcomer like him to recommend talent immediately, so his search was under the dual surveillance of Nagato and Konan.

After the surveillance, guess what? He was fine, just working diligently.

After completing this mission, Kakuzu gained a considerable degree of Nagato's trust and was even promoted from a part-time worker to an accountant in the organization, taking full responsibility for all financial and accounting work.

Tendo met with Yuzhen alone...or rather, he met with Ganbuncui alone, and briefly explained his plan to collect all the tailed beasts in order to intimidate the ninja world and achieve permanent peace.

It can be called the ninja version of the "Age of Deterrence".

Nagato was still quite cautious, and he didn't explain the matter of the Ten-Tails at the beginning... There is still a big difference between collecting the nine tailed beasts and resurrecting the Ten-Tails... To be able to explain it to this extent, this is called the respect of one idealist for another idealist.

However, who could have imagined that his sincerity would be exchanged for the ultimate deception? Gan Wencui is not an idealist, he is just an actor.

Fortunately, he is very dedicated.

"Achieving peace through deterrence? To be honest, I'm not optimistic about this path at all, but... it's a viable path after all."

"I'm willing to join you. Anyway, let's try walking around first... Your side is much better than those big ninja villages that only care about petty gains and losses."

Gan Wencui is just a vest, and everyone wears it differently.

There was no need to test the strength of this old guy. Nagato was very familiar with Gan Wencui's life experience. The last thing that should be doubted about a character from a history book like this was his ability and strength.

After joining Akatsuki, Yuzhen also began to recommend talents according to "custom".

"If you just want someone powerful and capable, and you're confident you can control them, I have a very suitable candidate..."

"Confidence? In front of these eyes, anyone has only one choice: to submit."

Nagato is very confident, twisted and confident, otherwise he would not call himself a god.

Doesn’t this mean that Yu Zhen can make bold recommendations? No matter who he recommends, Tiandao has the power to subdue him.

So Yuzhen decided to introduce "variables".

"Well, it's like this. In the Land of Hot Springs, there was once a monk named Jigen..."

Chapter 255 Snap your fingers

"Although in principle one should be responsible for the things one proposes, I actually think this matter should be left to the leader..."

On the way to the Land of Hot Springs, Yu Zhen spoke to his companions in a calm and relatively cautious manner.

"Are you saying that the people we are currently recruiting are stronger than you and me?"

"Only above me. After all, I don't know your fighting style, so naturally I can't judge your specific strength."

The one who is working with Hane is Konan. At the beginning, he thought he would work with Kakuzu, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Nagato's arrangement was more appropriate... An "old man" who is worthy of absolute trust is working with a newcomer who has just joined the organization. This is a rational and reasonable arrangement.

At the same time, this also reflects Konan and Nagato's trust in her strength, and also shows that these people more or less underestimate the strength of "Gan Wencui" and are not worried at all that this newcomer will suddenly turn against them.

"Caution is a must, but excessive caution will only lead to timidity and hesitation in action... I didn't expect a veteran like you to be so hesitant."

Being constantly near the Rinnegan, it's easy for her to perceive absurd ideas as established facts based on what she hears and sees. It's well known that Konan often "floats" in the sky.

Their horizons seem broad, but in fact they are very narrow... On the one hand, they believe that they should accumulate strength and not expose too much at this stage; on the other hand, they fully believe in the combat effectiveness of the Rinnegan.

The Rinnegan is already powerful enough, it is not an exaggeration to call it a "god", so is there any power in the world that is superior to God?

Well, the Rinnegan is indeed the top-level eye power, but there are also differences between the Rinnegan.

Even if disabled people were boxing, Nagato could not defeat Otsutsuki Isshiki. After all, there is a clear difference in the way both of them became disabled... Nagato was disabled by Hanzo, and Isshiki was disabled by Kaguya. Are the two comparable?

However, Yuzhen can be sure that Jigen or Isshiki within his body must be interested in Nagato's plan.

Isshiki doesn't care about the vision of peace in the ninja world, but he cares about the Ten-Tails.

Losing a Ten-Tails can't be in vain, this loss still needs to be compensated.
