Naruto: The Strongest Force

A few years can change a lot of time. Gaara no longer went berserk or hurtful, and he even made a few friends.

After following Natsuki's advice, Rasa became very attentive to Gaara's education.

To his surprise, he discovered that Gaara was really very smart and had a strong sense of responsibility. If he could control the tailed beast well in the future, he would even be a very good successor candidate.

"Gaara, this child, has begun to become outstanding now. Just tell him these things directly."

"I see."

Yashamaru nodded, Gaara always remembered the incident when Natsuki came to strengthen the seal for him.

I have said many times that when I grow up, I will repay Xia Mu.

Although Gaara can't leave the village yet, it would be nice to be able to bring a message to Natsuki Uchiha.

"Also, take Temari and Kankuro with you and let them see the world. Maki will take care of Gaara."

……

The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

Mei Terumi, who had already taken the position of the Fifth Mizukage, was the last to receive the news.

After all, the sea voyage is too far, and the messenger ninja has to fly for several days to reach it.

Natsuki knew about the mess in the Kingdom of Water. He estimated that Terumi Mei didn't care about other countries' affairs now. It was just a courtesy to inform the Kingdom of Water.

Xia Mu also made it clear that there was no need to send anyone here since the Kingdom of Water was far away.

Otherwise, a month is not enough time to walk on the Kirigakure Road. If you accidentally encounter a storm on the sea, it will take even longer.

Terumi Mei also saw the Uchiha clan's bounty on Obito, and even said that Kirigakure suffered a big loss at Obito's hands.

Kirigakure not only suffered a big loss, but for Natsuki's visit, the fourth generation of Mizukage in Kirigakure Village would still be under his control.

The decline of the Water Country's national power in recent years is also due to Obito.

Kirigakure felt embarrassed that such a big thing in Kirigakure Village was exposed by Natsuki.

But there was nothing that could be done. There were too many people watching at the time, and Kirigakure was famous for being a traitor.

It was only a matter of time before the news got out.

But Terumi Mei doesn't have much time to think about these problems now, because a bigger problem has arisen.

The fourth generation Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura is dead. He committed suicide.

Kirigakure was basically destroyed in his hands, and his self-esteem would not allow him to live anymore.

The reason why he lives in prison is because of the three-tailed isozu in his body, which is Kirigakure's precious asset.

Unfortunately, in the past few years, Goju Yagura has been assassinated and insulted.

Some people climbed over guards, high walls, and entered the prison, even just to spit on Goju Yagura.

Even the people who looked after the prison turned a blind eye to this. After all, too many people died during the Fourth Mizukage's reign.

So many families with bloodline boundaries have been ruined, and countless people have been implicated.

As a result, Goju Yagura's mental state deteriorated to the extreme, and he finally committed suicide one day before.

He died together with Sanwei Isozu, and I don’t know when or where he will be resurrected next.

Three tails, lost...

Many people were dissatisfied with Mei Terumi's taking the position of Mizukage, and the loss of the three-tailed Isozu in the village became a reason to criticize her.

Terumi Mei couldn't handle the mess, so of course she didn't bother sending people to attend Natsuki's succession ceremony.

However, Xia Mu's face still cannot be enough. The big hole near the village has not been filled yet.

Mei Terumi had no choice but to write a reply and explained via the message bird that Kirigakure had other important matters and she couldn't be there.

Chapter 149 Intelligence

fire nation

Kakuzu had just finished his job, and his partner was "accidentally" sacrificed again. Now he carries the body alone to a remote place.

Kakuzu carried the corpse behind him. The skin of the corpse was gray and gray, and it had only been briefly treated. There was already a faint smell coming out of it.

But Kakuzu didn't care. To him, this corpse smell was the smell of money.

A toilet appeared in front of him. Kakuzu carried the body and walked in. He pressed the button next to the urinal and a secret door appeared.

A bald man with a scar on his eyebrow poked out from inside. Seeing that it was Kakuzu coming, he quickly greeted: "Brother Kakuzu, please come inside."

Kakuzu seemed to be very familiar with this place. After entering, he threw the body onto a protruding wooden board.

The bald man took it and compared it: "That's right, Brother Kakuzu, this is the rebel ninja of the Rock Country, seven million."

Kakuzu was not very satisfied with this number, but this Iwa ninja was of average strength, and apart from the effort it took to find someone, nothing else took much time.

He took the money box handed over by the bald man and asked while counting the money: "What good rewards and news have you got recently?"

The bald man stood nearby, as if he knew Kakuzu was asking about it early on, so he immediately said, "Brother Kakuzu has been too busy lately. A lot of big things have happened recently."

Kakuzu paused for a moment while counting the money, and then he didn't say anything. After counting the money seriously, he said, "The money is fine. What big thing happened just now you said?"

"Two things. Uchiha has found out that the mastermind of the Nine-Tails Rebellion was a traitor named Uchiha Obito. The Uchiha clan has expelled him from the family tree and has offered a reward of 300 million to hunt him down!"

"How much!?" Kakuzu was afraid that he was hallucinating.

You should know that the bounty of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yutaka is only 5000 million, Asuma Sarutobi is 3500 million, and the Hyuga clan leader and the Uchiha clan leader are only million.

Each village's shadow has a bounty of 200 million to 300 million.

How could Obito Hetoku be worth so much money?

The bald man seemed to have known Kakuzu's question early on, so he quickly repeated: "Brother Kakuzu, you heard it right, it's three hundred million."

"Uchiha was blamed by this Obito a few years ago, and he already hates this Obito."

"In addition, Obito has some space ninjutsu, so that's why the bounty is so high."

Kakuzu was moved for a moment and quickly took the information. It turned out to be a time and space ninjutsu.

In the ninja world, anyone who knows the time and space ninjutsu is not easy to deal with.

The fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, was able to dominate the battlefield with his Flying Thunder God Technique.

In this ninja world where missions come first, you have seen Minato Namikaze and are allowed to give up missions and escape.

One can imagine how strong Namikaze Minato was at that time.

If you can beat him, you can't catch him. If you can't defeat it, you can't escape. Where to fight, the fourth generation has the final say.

The initiative in the battle was always in his hands, so Minato Namikaze was rated as the most promising Hokage at that time.

It's a pity that he died inexplicably during the Nine-Tails Rebellion. While the other ninja villages were gloating about his misfortune, they were also investigating how the fourth generation died.

As a result, of course, nothing was gained.

After all, Obito has been hiding deeply. Even in the current Akatsuki organization, only Nagato, Konan and Zetsu know of his existence.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the real culprit that Konoha had not found was discovered by the Uchiha clan.

And the witness is Kakashi.

However, the strange silence of Konoha's top brass made everything confusing.

No wonder Obito is worth so much money.

Kakuzu doesn't care too much about the love-hate relationship between Konoha and Uchiha. He just wants to make money now, after seeing that Obito is worth so much money.

He was also very itchy, but after all, the other party sometimes used space ninjutsu, and he didn't have much information, so he didn't know where to find it.

But Kakuzu still kept this information in his heart...

……

The land of rain.

Yuyin Village.

The sky is still raining.

Konan flew across the sky.

We stopped in front of a high tower. The tower looked very old and uninhabited.

A hole the size of a person opened in the wall, and Xiaonan folded her wings and got in.

After entering, there was a vertical passage downwards. Xiaonan spread his wings again and fell all the way down.

Reach very deep underground.

The sewer pipes here are criss-crossed. Xiaonan is very familiar with this place. After twists and turns, he reaches a hidden basement.

There were several extended barrels placed on the left and right sides of the basement, with a bed sticking out of them.

Nagato Rokudo all lay on such a bed.

This is where Nagato takes care of Rokudo's corpse.

Xiaonan turned around and saw Nagato standing on a wooden cart.

Nagato fell asleep standing up with his eyes closed and breathing evenly.

Konan did not wake up Nagato, but started preparing food aside.

After Nagato came back, he took care of all the six paths and fell into a deep sleep to restore his energy.

After Natsuki revealed various information to him, although Nagato did not dare to believe it completely, he believed it 70%.

And he became extremely defensive towards Obito and Zetsu.

His physical condition was the biggest flaw. So he simply stopped working as hard as before and tried to recover as much energy as possible before considering the development of Akatsuki.

After Xiaonan waited here for a long time, Nagato woke up.

Nagato raised his head: "What's going on outside?"

Xiaonan flipped the meat in the pot and replied: "The village is still the same. I left a paper clone, so there will be no problem."

"Obito went to Uchiha and was almost left there. Uchiha Fugaku was seriously injured."

"Obito then took away Kakashi's Sharingan and is now missing."

"Uchiha Natsuki announced that he would take over as clan leader in a month, confirming the news that Uchiha Fugaku was seriously injured."

"And expose Obito as the real culprit of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, expel Obito from the family tree, and pursue him forever."

Konan said, handing the lunch box to Nagato. Nagato took out his hand, picked up the lunch box and started eating slowly.

"It turns out that he was responsible for the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and he hid it really deep."

Nagato had been in poor health, and had been resting every day recently. He had finally gotten a little better and could now speak fluently.

The deeper we dig into the accident, the more details emerge. It seemed that I suddenly fell asleep for several days at a time, and my eyes seemed different at that time.

It’s just that I was young at that time and didn’t know much about it.

But the day of his parents' death was still fresh in Nagato's memory.

Because Nagato's father, Ise, is a doctor who conducts medical activities on the battlefield in Urenin Village, and his mother is a nurse.

Doesn’t he know how dangerous war is?

But they are all people who know that their lives are in danger, but still want to save people.

From Ise's battlefield experience, it can be concluded that this kind of battlefield rescue behavior is not the first time Ise has done so, and he is quite experienced.

But that time there was an extra Nagato.

As a parent, don’t you know that your son is timid and cowardly?

It was almost inevitable that Nagato would make a sound.

After the Konoha ninja entered the house, the first thing he said was: "Who is it?"

At this time, his father Ise suddenly rushed forward and held the hand of the Konoha ninja. The second sentence of the Konoha ninja was: "Damn it, are you an enemy?"

Just, we won’t say a word until we die, we are not enemies, we are doctors.
