Pirates: I will first max out the domineering color if I am not dead

"If the Hidden Rain Village has the support of the Kaguya clan, our strength will be even greater."

"The Hyuga clan's Corpse Bloodline has a huge reputation in the ninja world. It can even be said that it is not inferior to the Uchiha clan's Sharingan."

Fugaku took a deep breath.

Xia Le listened quietly.

"But if we want to launch an operation against the Hidden Mist Village, we will need to deploy a large number of troops."

"Because, once the Hidden Mist Village really wants to take action against the Kaguya clan, it will definitely require the strength of the entire village."

"If Akatsuki wants to stop such a force and support the Kaguya clan, he is not able to do it now."

"Of course, there are risks involved!"

Fugaku said solemnly.

Xia Le smiled slightly: "It is naturally great to have the Kaguya clan join us!"

Hearing this, Fugaku's heart moved.

"You mean support?"

Xia Le did not hesitate: "Of course!"

"The Hyuga clan, we are determined to win!"

Chapter 517: Kirigakure Negotiations

After getting a definite answer, Fugaku's face immediately showed a hint of excitement and nervousness.

To be honest, deep down he has some complicated feelings towards the Kaguya clan, a family with a similar situation to the Uchiha clan and something inexplicably similar.

"Then I'll get ready right away!"

Fugaku took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Xia Le nodded.

"This time, I may have to trouble you to go there!"

Fugaku said again.

"it is good!"

Xia Le did not refuse.

The overall strength of today's Akatsuki is naturally not as strong as that in the original work. It is just an organization that is developing steadily. It is very difficult for it to complete the task of supporting and rescuing a family.

On the other side, Fugaku quickly returned to the office.

Without any pause, he ordered the Anbu to respond.

At the same time, Hatake Sakumo and others have also received the news.

That afternoon, near dusk.

Xia Le walked out of the yard and headed out of the village, carrying a large scroll behind him.

When he approached the forest outside the village, he paused slightly, leaned against a big tree, squinted his eyes and waited quietly.

Naturally, he would not be the only person on this trip. He had already received news of this.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after a moment, another figure arrived.

He had a short knife on his back, short silver-white hair, a clean and energetic face, and looked decisive and efficient.

"Xia Le, if you are with us on this mission, we will have a good chance of success!"

The visitor said with a smile.

"This mission must go smoothly without any accidents, so my move is certain."

Xia Le smiled lightly.

The man who arrived was none other than Hatake Sakumo. Ever since he stopped being the Rain Shadow, his mental state and mood were obviously very good, as if he had thrown away a huge burden.

Afterwards, both of them looked towards the village gate again.

At some point, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village.

"Orochimaru!"

Sakumo narrowed his eyes, and then showed a look of surprise.

"You're actually willing to go on a mission!"

Orochimaru stepped in front of the two men and said, "An operation like this can only be accomplished with the strength of the entire village."

"Under such circumstances, there will naturally be no problem for me to walk out of the laboratory."

Hearing this, Shumao smiled and said, "That's right!"

"After us, Fugaku will form a large number of teams to assist us in carrying out this mission and ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Seeing that everyone was present, Xia Le nodded and said, "Let's go!"

The three of them nodded to each other, and in a flash, they entered the forest.

"Xia Le!"

The sunlight shone through the gaps and fell on the ground. Orochimaru ran along the branches with his feet and suddenly shouted.

"Ok?"

Xia Le responded, seeming to be thinking about something important, and did not look back.

"Regarding natural energy, how far have you progressed in your research?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

After so many years, he still hasn't forgotten the conversation he had with the other party.

Once you have experienced the power of Sage Mode, you will never forget it, and wish you could enter that state forever.

That is simply unimaginable.

Therefore, he has always paid close attention to this matter.

During the experiment, Orochimaru also studied natural energy and Sage Mode, but due to his limitations, he could not see any deeper mysteries of this new path and ultimately had to give up.

What made him sigh even more was that he realized the huge gap between himself and Xia Le.

Hearing this, Xia Le turned his head and looked at Orochimaru with a smile.

"Only the last step left!"

"Don't worry."

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"What else do you need? How can I help?"

Xia Le shook his head: "I have already thought through the specific method. All I need to do next is to conduct some specific experiments and then improve it."

Orochimaru took a deep breath and was actually a little nervous: "That's great!"

Xia Le smiled and said, "It just so happens that I can complete the remaining parts during this trip."

Orochimaru nodded heavily.

Sakumo heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but show confusion in his eyes: "What are you two whispering about?"

"nothing."

Orochimaru smiled and stopped the conversation.

Sakumo snorted, "And you're keeping it so secretive."

Xia Le also smiled and didn't say much.

His method of popularizing the new path of practice had indeed reached the final step, and the basic steps, processes, principles, etc. had all been sorted out.

Now, we just need to conduct specific experiments to prove that this path is indeed feasible so that it can be passed on.

But at this moment, I am still a little hesitant about the test subject.

There are considerable risks in starting with humans. If something goes wrong, it will be terrible.

If you don't trust it, if it really succeeds, there will probably be twists and turns.

Therefore, animals are naturally the best candidates for experimental targets. But even with animals, it is still difficult.

Weak animals simply do not have the qualifications to practice this new path, and only powerful and unique creatures can succeed.

But this kind of creature may be easy to find in the world of One Piece, but it is very difficult to find in the world of Naruto.

"We must select those creatures with strong innate energy."

Xia Le murmured.

The three of them walked through the forest surrounding the Hidden Rain Village and quickly headed towards the Water Kingdom.

Along the way, Xia Le paid attention to creatures suitable for the experiment, but he did not encounter any target.

This made him frown.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

The three of them ran at full speed and arrived at the Iron Kingdom. They planned to take a ship from the Iron Kingdom port, then go to the Soup Kingdom, and then from the Soup Kingdom to the Water Kingdom.

It is estimated that the middle voyage will take about seven or eight days.

Facing the rolling waves and the blue sky, the three of them boarded a small fishing boat.

For Sakumo and Orochimaru, who have always lived inland, the sea is obviously a little strange and new. On the contrary, Xia Le does not feel much uncomfortable. Instead, he has an expression of nostalgia and emotion.

"Xia Le, you don't look like someone who has lived on the sea before. How come you didn't react at all after getting on the boat?"

Shuomao's face turned blue and purple, and the shaking of the boat made him want to vomit but he couldn't.

Orochimaru also had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

The feeling of swaying on the sea gave him an extremely insecure feeling.

"People who don't make a living on the sea and are used to the sea won't be as calm as him."

The middle-aged man paddling the boat also said with a smile.

Xia Le just smiled at them but didn't intend to explain.

He stood at the bow, staring at the heaving sea ahead, with a hint of memories in his eyes.

It seemed that I remembered the scene on the sea in the past.

-

The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

The fog was so thick that visibility was less than ten meters.

In recent days, the atmosphere in this cold and chilly village has become extremely tense. Even the number of tourists on the streets has become extremely rare.

Even if someone was walking, they walked quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On one side of the street, in a grain and oil shop, the door was closed tightly with a rattling sound.

"News from the village has come back!"

A muffled voice sounded.

"and many more!"

Suddenly, the man in coarse clothes put his finger to his mouth, signaling the other party to be quiet.

The man who spoke first immediately looked stern and fell silent.

After a while, the man in coarse clothes nodded: "Continue!"

"Yes, Master Zero!"

The man took a breath.

"The instructions given by the village are simple. They agreed with our suggestion and have sent the vanguard to the Water Kingdom."
