Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching...

"That's not my idea. It's the instruction from the supreme leader Sosuke," Kakuzu added.

After Kakuzu said this, the ninjas of the Bird Country felt a lot more at ease.

They had never met Sosuke, but had only seen his photos and portraits.

But they had heard of Sosuke's deeds, and they felt that if it was the legendary founder of the New Ninja Sect, there should really be a way.

After arriving at the Shinobi Clan's base, Kakuzu asked people to arrange the Shinobi Clan ninjas from the Country of Birds, while he himself went to the Shinobi Clan's office building and entered the leader's office.

"The initial construction of the Bird Country Ninja Sect has been completed..."

Lao Zi first reported on his work without asking about Konoha's affairs.

After listening to this, Mu Yue thought for a while and asked, "What do you think about the future development of the Ninja Clan of Bird Country?"

"Strengthen the propaganda of the Ninja Sect's ideology, let more people understand the Ninja Sect's ideology, conduct a detailed investigation of the Ninja forces in the Bird Country, distinguish between friends and enemies, eliminate enemies that affect public security in the Bird Country, and strengthen public security construction..." Lao Zi answered after a little thought.

He referred to some of Sosuke's measures to improve public security in the Land of Rain, and also had some of his own ideas after working in the Land of Birds.

Although there is no ninja village in the Land of Birds, there are ninja forces. In today's ninja world, there are very few places without ninjas.

Where there are ninja forces, there will be different ideologies and disputes.

Lao Zi believes that he can take advantage of the conflicts between different forces and try to gain as much help as possible to strengthen the power of the Ninja Clan.

"It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip." Mu Yue smiled with satisfaction.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. The fact that Lao Zi can still maintain his enthusiasm and think hard after actually doing something shows that he truly supports the ultimate ideal of the Ninja Clan.

This was an unexpected surprise. The reason why Mu Yue chose to protect Lao Zi was actually largely due to the tailed beasts.

It’s different now. Even if Lao Zi doesn’t have the Four-Tails, Mu Yue will fight the Iwagakure Village for Lao Zi.

What Iwagakure traitor ninja? This is the great warrior of his ninja clan!

"You've really changed a lot." Even the four-tailed beast in Lao Zi's body couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, Lao Zi was taciturn and would often start an argument after just a few words, but now he can report enthusiastically for half an hour.

"It's pretty good though." Fourtail gave a thumbs up.

I don’t know what other people think of Siwei, but Siwei really likes the changes in Lao Zi.

The current Lao Zi gives it a feeling that even if it were placed in the Ninja Clan during the period of the Six Paths Sage, it would still be highly valued by the Six Paths Sage.

Lao Zi gave the Four-Tails a thumbs-up in his conscious world. He was also very grateful for the chakra support the Four-Tails had always given him.

"Chief, I heard that we are having conflicts with Konoha now. Do you need me to show up in the surrounding areas of Konoha? That should be able to divert some of Konoha's energy." Lao Zi asked.

He didn't want to go to the Land of Fire and fight Konoha alone, but wanted to use his identity as a Jinchūriki to cause trouble between Iwagakure and Konoha.

Konoha and Iwagakure have just signed a peace treaty, and Iwagakure was defeated in the end, so it is unlikely that the two sides will go to war again in the short term. However, the Jinchūriki is crucial to the ninja village, so Iwagakure will definitely still take action, but not in the form of war.

Although he didn't have a good impression of the Iwagakure Village, it was the village where he grew up after all. He didn't want to go back, but he wouldn't deliberately cause a war between other ninja villages and the Iwagakure.

"No need, just concentrate on your job and don't worry about Konoha." Mu Yue shook her head.

Kakuzu followed up by saying, "Even if the sky falls, there is a tall man like Sosuke to hold it up, so don't worry about it."

Lao Zi’s idea is feasible, but it will put himself in danger.

Compared to Lao Zi, Kakuzu is more willing to believe Sosuke. After all, Sosuke is the man who almost killed him in seconds.

Of course, even though he believed it, Kakuzu was still quite curious about what Sosuke had up his sleeve.

If he wanted to use brute force to defeat a large ninja village, then Sosuke would have to at least have the strength of Hashirama Senju.

Lao Zi finally nodded and walked out of the office with Kakuzu.

Kakuzu suddenly remembered something, and said to Lao Zi: "I'll take you to see something good. You've definitely never seen it before."

Lao Zi originally wanted to take a break and read a book, but when he heard Kakuzu say this, he became interested.

Maybe it's because they both started out as rebel ninjas, or maybe it's because of the time they spent fighting together in the Land of Birds, the two have known each other for a short time, but now they have become good friends.

Then Kakuzu took Lao Zi to Scorpion's laboratory.

When they arrived, Scorpion had just finished operating on a ninja with a broken arm and was checking for any adverse reactions, while Nagato was helping to take notes.

"Make a fist and swing it with force; concentrate chakra in your palm and change the properties of the wind-attributed chakra..." Scorpion commanded.

Lao Zi’s eyes widened when he saw this scene.

He didn't notice it at first, but upon closer inspection he discovered that one of the ninja's arms was not a normal arm.

As the ninja shot out poison needles from his arms and ejected his hidden blade, Lao Zi's expression became even more shocked. Why does this guy look a bit like a puppet?

"Isn't it amazing? This is the latest research result of our Ninja Clan - puppet prosthetic limbs!" Kakuzu said proudly.

"Whether it's a broken leg or a broken hand, this method can be used to transplant a prosthesis and get rid of the disability."

"Moreover, our prosthetic limbs not only look the same as ordinary limbs, but can actually be used just like ordinary limbs. Not only can they be used for ninjutsu, but they can also be modified to add hidden weapons to enhance their strength."

"But it's also a headache if the effect is too good. I heard that some weaker ninjas want to cut off their good limbs and transplant prosthetic limbs." Kakuzu said as if he had a headache.

Lao Zi was speechless.

Although it sounds ridiculous, he thought about it carefully and found that it makes sense.

In the ninja world, the strong are respected. In order to become stronger, many ninjas would even try forbidden ninjutsu that could cost them their lives, let alone changing their hands or legs.

"Captain Kakuzu, is there anything I can help you with?" Nagato walked up to the two men and asked.

Nagato had already noticed Kakuzu and the other man coming over, but because he was busy recording an experiment, he didn't go over.

"It's nothing, just bring him to see the scientific research results of our Ninja Clan." Kakuzu patted Lao Zi's shoulder and said.

"I have some questions here. Is it convenient now?" Lao Zi asked after thinking for a while.

"Okay." Nagato nodded.

"What is the current transplant success rate of this prosthesis? What side effects will there be if the transplant fails?" Lao Zi asked quickly.

Both arms and legs are indispensable to ninjas. Without a hand, it is impossible to make hand seals. There are very few ninjas who can make hand seals with one hand.

Losing a leg is more serious than losing an arm. If you lose an arm, at least you still have the possibility of making seals with one hand and using physical techniques. But if you lose a leg, it will definitely be a farewell to the ninja profession.

Because a ninja with only one leg would just be a target in battle.

Being a ninja is a profession that lives on the edge of a knife. Even if they consciously protect their limbs, there are always times when they fail, so there are actually quite a few ninjas with broken legs and arms.

The reason why it is uncommon is that when the job is cut off, people just retire and become ordinary citizens.

Lao Zi felt that this prosthesis was extremely important to the Ninja Clan. If it was operated properly, it would not only earn him a lot of money, but he could also gain more power.

"One hundred percent, no failure, and no side effects." Scorpion said calmly, answering the question for Nagato.

Are you kidding? This is just a derivative technology of other people's puppet technology. How could there be any problem?

"But at present, only Scorpion can perform this ninjutsu, and only he can make prosthetic limbs. The others are learning." Nagato added.

Scorpion raised his head. Those mediocre people certainly could not learn the skills of a genius like him well, just like he could not defeat Nagato with ninjutsu.

The enthusiasm in Lao Zi's eyes faded a little. Mass production was not possible, and even the surgery could only be performed by Scorpion, so the limitations were quite great.

However, Lao Zi still thought it was very powerful, and he subconsciously showed more respect to Scorpion when talking to him. This was an invention that could benefit the entire ninja community.

After touring the laboratory for a while, it was soon time for lunch. Just when Kakuzu was about to take Lao Zi to the cafeteria to eat together, a ninja from the Shinobi Clan came up to them.

"Lord Kakuzu, Konoha has sent another negotiation team, led by Orochimaru again." The Shinobi clan ninja reported.

"We're here."

Kakuzu wasn't too surprised, as Konoha had also given them advance notice this time.

"Are you going to eat or join in the fun?" Kakuzu looked at Lao Zi and asked.

"Let's go together. I'm not that hungry. We can eat together after the talk." Lao Zi replied.

Don’t say you’re not that hungry. Even if you’re really hungry, you’d still have to go and see what’s going on.

He still doesn't want the Ninja Clan and Konoha to confront each other. Currently, the two sides are not of the same size and the gap is too big.

"Well, let's wait for Nagato, and then we can go over and see what joke they have come up with this time."

Chapter 668 The settlement of Metkai’s life mission

In the conference room, Konoha ninjas and Shinobi clan ninjas each sat on half of the conference table.

Kakuzu did not provoke, but just looked at Orochimaru quietly.

Although they were very dissatisfied with Konoha's stupid request last time, they were still generally at a disadvantage.

They are not afraid if Konoha wants to use its power to overwhelm others. If Konoha is willing to have a good talk, they will not deliberately cause trouble.

"Our Sandaime is very impressed by the strength of your clan leader Sosuke and wants to have a ninja battle with him. After this battle, no matter what the outcome of the battle, the matter of Shimura Danzo will be revealed." Orochimaru said.

"Huh?" Kakuzu looked surprised.

Whatever grudge or grudge you have, just target Sosuke, right? Let’s have a duel.

Kakuzu couldn't understand what Konoha was doing for a moment, so Kage personally went into the battle to challenge.

Lao Zi also looked surprised and confused.

In all his life, this was the first time he had seen such a solution to a conflict, with the leaders of both sides fighting one-on-one to resolve the conflict.

The strongest ninja village is unexpectedly simple.

Orochimaru looked indifferent. The reaction of the Shinobi from the Ninja Clan was within his expectations, because even he himself was surprised when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's request.

Everyone knows that the Shadow is very powerful, but in addition to his strength, the Shadow is also the leader of the Ninja Village, carrying the entire Ninja Village on his shoulders, so unless there are special circumstances, he will stay in the rear of the Ninja Village.

The matter of the Ninja Clan is not small, but it is not big either.

In Orochimaru's opinion, sending a larger ninja unit would be enough to deal with the Ninja Clan, and there is no need for the Hokage to personally go into battle.

But his opinion was useless. Since Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to do this, he had no choice but to carry out the mission.

Nagato had a subtle expression and his lips were tightly closed.

He didn't want to come here at first, because it would be difficult for him to stay calm after knowing Mu Yue's true identity, but Jiaodu said it would be better if he was here, so he came over.

"What does your master think about this?" Orochimaru asked.

"I have to ask the leader for instructions." Kakuzu said after a moment's hesitation.

Sosuke gave him the right, but this request involved Sosuke himself, so he couldn't make a rash decision.

Things like suicide can be rejected without a second thought, but in a one-on-one fight, Kakuzu felt that he didn't know who would be at a disadvantage.

After all, Sosuke is so confident in his own abilities.

"Nagato, come with me." Kakuzu stood up and called Nagato.

Nagato nodded, and left the meeting room with Kakuzu and went to Sosuke's office.

Walking to the wooden door of the office, Kakuzu knocked slowly and only went in after getting Sosuke's approval.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Mu Yue put down her pen and raised her head and asked.

"Konoha has given a new condition. They said that as long as you fight with the Third Hokage, no matter what the result is, the matter of Shimura Danzo will be over." Kakuzu concluded.

"You are so hated that even the Third Hokage wanted to kill you himself." Kakuzu sighed.

What admiration for strength? It's obvious that the threat of suicide failed, so he just rolled up his sleeves and started a fight.

"How should we respond to Konoha, agree or refuse?"

"Agree to their request." Mu Yue replied.

He was a shadow clone that was split off from the original body after a meeting, so he had known about this matter for a long time and had already thought of a way to deal with it.

He had to agree to it of course, as Sarutobi Hiruzen had made up his mind. If he wasn't satisfied, who knew what new ideas he would come up with.

Mu Yue wanted to save some face for Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he had advised him and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't listen, so there was nothing he could do.

"You've decided so quickly. Tell me honestly, how much of your strength did you use when you fought me back then?" Kakuzu couldn't help but ask.

He knew very well that Sosuke was not a reckless person. Since he agreed, he must have felt that his life was guaranteed and that he could even win.

"If you want to calculate based on my current strength, it would be less than 20%." Mu Yue said after thinking for a while.

When he fought Kakuzu, his chakra amount was just over 100,000, but now his chakra amount has exceeded 2 million, and he has a bunch of powerful skills with high proficiency.

"Less than 20%?!" Kakuzu's mouth twitched. With less than 20%, his four lives were killed in an instant with just one Fire Escape.
