Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

Other countries do not have widely popularized means of transportation, and they are worried that after working hard to build them, they will be destroyed by ninjas or bandits, wasting money.

Another reason is to maintain the ninjas' source of income.

If there were an efficient and safe way to travel, most of the simplest C and D-level escort missions for ninjas would probably disappear.

But the Snow Country is different. There are not many ninjas in this place.

There are even fewer people who would run to this harsh place and become bandits.

Originally, the people of the Snow Country were quite poor, and not many people hired ninjas.

During the reign of Fuuka Nuto, in order to realize his dream of unifying the ninja world, he was very generous in military matters and spent a lot of money to support the ninjas of the Snow Village.

Now, Mao Yue Xi Yan has withdrawn the money.

Let them fend for themselves and be self-reliant!

Walking on the snow, the humming sound of the steam train penetrated the eardrums. Looking at the air current rising into the air, Yang Xi slowly spoke:

"Once the railways in the Snow Country are completed, let those engineers go to the Soup Country and the Frost Country to work."

Xi Yan frowned slightly, "Do you want them to pave the way there? The Snow Country is isolated overseas, and no matter what happens inside, it will not attract the attention of the outside world. But those two countries are different. The emergence of these things is bound to cause opposition from major ninja villages."

"The world is always moving forward. Will ninjas always be the core of the world?"

Xiyan didn't know how to answer and remained silent.

"Where is Uchiha Izumi?" Yang Xi asked.

"Besides practicing, it's all about practicing."

Xi Yan brought Yang Xi to Uchiha Izumi's training ground.

Not far away, a girl holding a long knife had a resolute and indifferent expression on her face.

At this moment, in the cold air, she was only wearing a thin gown, swinging the knife continuously, repeating this action.

I don’t know if it was because of the cold or the heat, but a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead and her face looked sickly pale.

After watching for a while, Yang Xi said faintly: "She looks even weaker."

Xiyan showed helplessness on her face, "I told her a long time ago that in addition to practicing swordsmanship, she also needs to exercise her body. But I don't know if this person only cares about strength and doesn't care about the hidden injuries of the body. She didn't listen to my advice at all."

Yang Xi suddenly smiled and said, "Other people want to live longer, but she wants to die quickly. It's that simple."

"She wants to die?" Xiyan was surprised.

Yang Xi walked forward and said to Uchiha Izumi calmly: "Uchiha Itachi is about to show up, don't you want to meet him?"

Itachi?

Uchiha Izumi paused, a complex look flashed across his cold face, his originally black eyes suddenly turned red, and he looked at him coldly.

"Don't you want to know what your position in his heart is?"

Uchiha Izumi clenched his fists so tightly that his fingers almost dug into the flesh.

Her heart trembled as she thought of the ending Itachi gave her in the Tsukuyomi world and the damage her body had suffered.

"Don't look at me like that. You should take your emotions out on the right people."

"Konoha has changed dynasties. In order to test the Fifth Hokage's attitude towards Sasuke, he will definitely show up."

"After all, he is his biological brother. The importance of Sasuke cannot be compared to a wishful woman like you!"

"You!" Uchiha Izumi's heart was deeply hurt by these words. Her anger surged, her pupils had turned into three-magatama Sharingan, and she stared at him fiercely.

Yang Xi looked at him calmly, but in his heart he was sighing: It's still a little short, it seems that Uchiha Itachi has to stimulate it himself...

"He will definitely return to Konoha."

After saying that, Yang Xi waved his hand and turned to leave.

Xiyan followed his steps, with a puzzled tone, "Yang Xi, what exactly do you want her to do? Since you saved her, you must care about her life."

Yang Xi: “…”

Care? It was just a sudden thought at the time, but after taking away her eyes, what should I do with this person?

"You're not trying to drive her crazy, are you?" Xiyan spoke again.

"It's better to be a little crazy. The crazier the Uchiha clan is, the stronger they will be." Yang Xi said casually.

The expression on Xiyan's face became even more confused.

Along with the news of Tsunade becoming the Fifth Hokage, there were also rumors that the Third Hokage they had created in Konoha had already died and been replaced by someone else decades ago.

Also, Danzo Shimura was listed as a traitor.

In addition to these, there is news that the Fire Kingdom, Soup Kingdom, Frost Kingdom, Lightning Kingdom and the non-existent Snow Kingdom have formed an economic alliance.

As an ordinary ninja, the first thing to pay attention to is the power transition within the ninja village.

Uchiha Itachi is no exception.

Hearing the strange rumors about Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Itachi was very confused and couldn't understand.

However, having been poisoned by conspiracy theories, he soon smelled the scent of conspiracy.

"It seems that the Fifth Hokage's means of ascending to the throne were not glorious. Does she know about the agreement between me and the Third Hokage?"

Itachi muttered to himself, and the Akatsuki ring on his finger suddenly began to flicker.

It was the chief who called them to a meeting.

Several phantoms appeared one after another on the pillars of the Outer Path Golem.

His gaze lingered on Jue's illusion for a moment, and then Tendo Pain scanned the other people one by one.

Konan, Kakuzu, Scorpion of the Red Sand, Uchiha Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame...

Everyone is here.

Without the presence of the two chatterboxes, Hidan and Deidara, the overall atmosphere of the Akatsuki organization is rather dull at this stage.

Kakuzu is actually the talkative one among them.

"Chief, is there any big project?" he asked.

"No." Tendo Pain shook his head. "Do you have any specific information about the Fifth Hokage of Konoha?"

As he spoke, Tendo Pain glanced in the direction of Jue without leaving a trace.

Black Zetsu's mind was moved: Is Nagato coming for me? What did Jiraiya talk to him about?

"She's just a woman. Is she worthy of all of our attention?"

The one who made the sharp, hoarse sound was Scorpion of the Red Sand.

Even though his true appearance had been revealed, he still restored the original Fei Liuhu and hid inside it to conceal himself.

"Jue, tell me what exactly happened inside Konoha." Tendo Pain called out directly.

Chapter 150 Black Zetsu Exposed to Crisis

Black Zetsu was thinking about the information that Jiraiya might have revealed to Nagato and Konan, and the possibility that they would turn against him.

White Zetsu started his speech with a grin on his face.

"Tsunade is not a simple woman. She awakened Wood Release, and with her current strength, she defeated the Third Hokage, framed the Third Hokage, and took the position of Hokage by force."

When they heard about Wood Release, everyone put away their contempt.

Especially Kakuzu, he couldn't help but recall the battle he had with Hashirama Senju.

Back then, Hashirama Senju defeated him simply by creating a wooden clone.

Considering the difficulty of cultivating elite ninjas in a small ninja village, Hashirama Senju did not kill him but let him go.

But unfortunately, the people who really don't cherish him are Takigakure...

As Kakuzu was reminiscing, Konan's cold voice suddenly rang out, "Wood Release? Why are you only talking about such important information today?"

"Tsunade had been traveling everywhere and her whereabouts were unknown. I don't know when she awakened the Wood Release technique. I only learned about her background recently." White Zetsu's tone was still frivolous.

"Oh?" Konan pretended to be amazed. "What crime did Tsunade put on the Third Hokage? Could it be as the rumor said, that he was impersonated for decades? How could anyone believe such a ridiculous statement? Why did she use this reason?"

"Because of force?" Scorpion of the Red Sand asked.

Uchiha Itachi concentrated.

He was also curious about what exactly happened.

"I have already investigated this matter thoroughly. In fact, it has something to do with me." Black Zetsu's voice was steady and low.

In the high tower of the Rain Country, Konan's real body and Nagato looked at each other.

"Listen to what he has to say." Nagato said.

"Nagato, why don't you just confront him directly?" Konan asked.

"We in the Land of Soup didn't gain anything."

Konan frowned slightly, "If it is as Jiraiya-sensei said, White Zetsu has occupied that country. With their perception ability, our people will be discovered if they enter that place. Even if we don't gain anything, it's normal..."

Nagato remained silent, wondering what he was weighing.

At the place where the Outer Path Golem was, Tendo Pain spoke indifferently, "What do you mean?"

Black Zetsu had already prepared a plan in his mind. He said calmly: "Ever since the Uchiha clan was exterminated, the Hyuga clan has become the number one family in Konoha."

"The Third Hokage has been looking for an opportunity to suppress the Hyuga clan, and the White Zetsu I sent out disguised as a villager, lurking in Konoha to collect intelligence. Unfortunately, he was captured by Konoha's ninja."

"The Third Hokage made up an excuse and said that White Zetsu was a member of the Hyuga family and wanted to cause trouble."

"So, the Hyuga family contacted Tsunade who was away, supported her, and gave her an eye for an eye. Now, most of Tsunade's trusted subordinates are from the Hyuga clan..."

After Black Zetsu finished speaking, the atmosphere began to become a little silent.

Scorpion and others set their sights on Tendo Pain.

What is the leader's intention in letting Jue say this?

Although it is very exciting, the affairs of Konoha seem to have nothing to do with the organization.

Uchiha Itachi thought quickly in his mind how to find a reasonable reason to return to Konoha.

"Chief, Konoha will probably be on guard in the short term, and White Zetsu may not be able to collect more information." Black Zetsu spoke again.

He said this just to complete the story he was telling, but Tendo Pain spoke up at the right time: "Who among you is willing to go to Konoha and see what the situation is like inside?"

Even though what Black Zetsu said was flawless, Nagato, who had already become suspicious of him, would never believe his one-sided story.

"Itachi is the most suitable person for this kind of thing. He used to be an ANBU, and Konoha's barrier is meaningless to him." Hoshigaki Kisame said jokingly.

Tendo Pain nodded in agreement.

"Suzaku, Nandou, this mission is left to you."

Itachi was a little surprised. This was going too smoothly.

A strange color flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes. He understood Nagato's intention.

Itachi and Kisame can both be said to be Obito's people. No matter whether they have made any discoveries or not, Obito will ask about them.

After the meeting, Tendo Pain took the initiative to find Kisame and Itachi and asked them to visit the Land of Hot Spring on their way back.

He just told them to go to the Land of Hot Springs, and left without saying what they were going to do specifically.

Looking at his back, Itachi and Kisame looked at each other, confused.

At the same time, Zetsu appeared in front of Obito.

"Nagato seems to doubt me."

"What do you doubt?" Obito frowned.

"I don't know either." Hei Zetsu said with a little distress.

After thinking for a while, he still didn't mention Jiraiya.

When talking about Jiraiya, the Land of Hot Springs will inevitably be mentioned.

The assassination incident in Yu no Kuni was the biggest incident that had happened to Jiraiya recently.

By then, Obito will also pay attention to that place.
