Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

Of course, it is also possible that he convinced himself.

Because the world depicted by the ultimate goal of the Ninja Clan is a world that Lao Zi could never dream of.

The most he dared to dream was that he could be treated as an ordinary person, and he never dreamed that the war would disappear.

Who wouldn't want to realize such a beautiful and peaceful world? Lao Zi thought that no one would.

"It's really rude of you not to tell me your name after chatting for so long." Lao Zi stood up and bowed slightly to apologize to Sosuke.

Because the Ninja Clan had a cooperation with Iwagakure, Lao Zi was worried that his identity would be exposed and he would be sold out, so he did not show his true appearance and identity to Sosuke and the Ninja Clan.

Now Lao Zi feels that his behavior is disrespectful to Sosuke.

Lao Zi lifted the transformation spell, revealing his true appearance, and then introduced himself in a deep voice: "My name is Lao Zi."

After saying that, Lao Zi fell into silence, preparing to face Sosuke's surprise and questions.

After all, he is a Jinchūriki, the most terrifying weapon of mass destruction in the ninja world. He suddenly came to the Six Paths Castle of the Ninja Clan under an assumed name. No matter how Sosuke questions him, it is not excessive.

"Yeah." Mu Yue smiled faintly and nodded.

Lao Zi looked at Mu Yue with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand why Mu Yue's reaction was so calm. The person she was talking to suddenly changed his appearance, and the one who changed was a terrifying existence like Jinchūriki. Shouldn't her face be full of shock?

Lao Zi noticed from the corner of his eye that Nagato also had a calm expression on his face and became even more confused. Sosuke could explain it by saying that he had seen a lot of storms and waves, but how could a minor ninja like Nagato be so calm?

Although Lao Zi revealed his identity not to show off and shock Sosuke and Nagato, the performance of the two made Lao Zi feel confident in showing his strength, but in the end he only got this kind of evaluation.

It was embarrassing, very embarrassing. Lao Zi was so embarrassed that he even forgot to sit down.

He really wants others to treat him as an ordinary person, but this is not the case.

"I am the Four-Tails..." Lao Zi thought that it was possible that Sosuke did not think of his identity for a moment.

"I know, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village."

Lao Zi looked at Sosuke in surprise and confusion. Since Sosuke knew his identity, why could he still be so calm?

Aren’t they afraid that the Iwagakure Village has some conspiracy, such as taking out a kunai and throwing it to the ground and five hundred elite Iwagakure warriors will come out?

"Have you known my identity for a long time?" Lao Zi thought of something and couldn't help asking.

If Sosuke already knew his identity, then Sosuke and Nagato's reactions would make sense.

"I knew it when I learned that you wanted to see me." Mu Yue answered truthfully.

Mu Yue knew that pretending not to know Lao Zi's identity would make Lao Zi like him more, but this was unnecessary.

Lao Zi looked at Mu Yue in shock. He didn't expect his identity to be exposed so quickly.

The Iwagakure of the five major ninja villages failed to discover him, so how did Sosuke determine his identity? The two of them had never met before.

Moreover, since Sosuke knew his identity, why didn't he contact Iwagakure to inquire about the situation?

After all, he is a Jinchūriki. He should not remain indifferent when a Jinchūriki suddenly appears in his country.

"The Four-Tails Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village is already history. I am no longer an Iwagakure ninja now." Lao Zi said after thinking for a while.

Since you have to expose your identity, then expose it completely.

Lao Zi's words made Nagato's expression change slightly.

He was able to remain calm before because Mu Yue revealed Lao Zi's identity before sending him to call him, but Mu Yue did not say that Lao Zi had become a rebel ninja.

There is a saying among ninjas that they retire, but a retired Iwagakure ninja is still an Iwagakure ninja, and Lao Zike is far from reaching the retirement age, so he can only be a rebel ninja.

Nagato might not care about an ordinary traitorous ninja, but if it was a traitorous ninja from a Jinchūriki, that would be a big deal. Nagato, who had been taught by Mu Yue, understood the meaning of that.

Nagato quickly looked at Mu Yue, and was instantly relieved when he saw that there was no change in Mu Yue's expression.

"I understand." Mu Yue nodded and looked at Lao Zi quietly.

Lao Zi: ...

"Do you know why I left the Iwagakure Village?" Sosuke's calmness confused Lao Zi.

Mu Yue shook his head. He only knew that the matter of Lao Zili Village was related to the defeat in the war. There must be many things he didn't know.

Lao Zi breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was something that Sosuke didn't know.

But then Lao Zi didn’t know what to say.

The development of this meeting was something Lao Zi had never imagined. Not only did Sosuke know his identity, but he also knew it so early.

This caused Lao Zi to have many messy thoughts in his mind, which he was unable to sort out for a while.

"Let's stop here today. If you have any questions about the contents of the book or the Ninja Sect, you can come to the Ninja Sect to find me. I will be not very busy for a while." Mu Yue said after seeing Lao Zi silent.

He could sense that Lao Zi was interested in the Ninja Sect. If Mu Yue tried his best to recruit him, Lao Zi would most likely choose to join the Ninja Sect.

The Ninja Clan is too lethal to someone like Lao Zi who had a tragic childhood.

But this time Mu Yue didn't have any intention of forcing it.

Because although Lao Zi is very powerful, his identity is indeed a big trouble.

If Iwagakure knew that Lao Zi had joined the Shinobi Clan, they would definitely try every means to snatch the Four-Tails back, and other large ninja villages might also covet the Shinobi Clan.

Compared to the ninja clan's heritage which is only a rumor, the tailed beasts are real super weapons.

The trouble that Lao Zi brought to the Ninja Sect after joining it was much greater than the improvement he brought to the Sect.

Mu Yue chose to let things take their course. He would show Lao Zi everything about the Ninja Clan truthfully.

If Lao Zi wanted to join the Ninja Clan, Mu Yue would not refuse. He could not reject a like-minded companion because of a possible trouble.

If Lao Zi left the Rain Country tonight, Mu Yue would not stop him.

"I... okay then." Lao Zi still had a lot to say in his heart, so when he heard Sosuke say that this was the end, he stood up again in a hurry. He sat down again when he heard Sosuke say that he could ask later.

Lao Zi suddenly remembered that Sosuke was still giving a lecture a few hours ago, and he taught thousands of people for a whole day.

Since he couldn't think of anything to say, Sosuke really shouldn't waste time with him and should just go and rest.

"Sorry to bother you." Lao Zi said apologetically.

Facing Ōnoki, he can be a stubborn jinchūriki, but facing Sosuke who is so respectful, if he is still so stubborn, he would be a bit inhuman, and he would become one of the residents of Iwagakure who look at him strangely.

Mu Yue waved her hand to show that she didn't care.

Lao Zi felt that he had not contributed anything, but for Mu Yue, as long as Lao Zi listened carefully in class, he was helping him.

After leaving the Ninja Clan's reception room, Lao Zi returned to the hotel.

He lay in bed, his mind full of his recent meeting with Sosuke.

"Why didn't he contact the Iwagakure Village?" Lao Zi still didn't understand the matter.

According to the logic of normal human behavior, when Sosuke knew that his human jūriki had arrived in the Land of the Rain, he would contact the Iwagakure Village first, regardless of whether he had escaped secretly or not. After all, the two sides were still in a cooperative relationship.

"Wait, Sosuke just doesn't know why I left Iwagakure, he didn't say he didn't know I left Iwagakure." Lao Zi suddenly had an idea and connected his trip to the Rain Country and found a blind spot.

It is known that Sosuke knew his identity a long time ago, and based on the conversation between Iwagakure and Nagato that he eavesdropped on, the Ninja Clan discovered that Iwagakure had unknown actions in the Rain Country.

Combining these two pieces of information, Sosuke may be able to infer his current situation.

"Could it be a coincidence that the second unlimited lecture is held at this time?" Lao Zi thought of the lecture that made Iwagakure temporarily give up searching for him.

Lao Zi shook his head. Although it sounded like that, most of it was just his guess and had no factual basis.

"Let's try asking Sosuke tomorrow." Lao Zi prepared to change the itinerary.

Originally, he was planning to leave the Land of Rain and head to the Land of Birds immediately after meeting Sosuke.

Now Lao Zi has many unanswered questions in his mind, and he is unwilling to leave. Moreover, he has an inexplicable confidence in Sosuke, and feels that Sosuke will definitely not betray him.

……

On the other side, Rain Village.

Not long after Hanzo returned to the Rain Village, he received a piece of news that made him frown.

"Shimura Danzo's ninja wants to see me?"

To be honest, Hanzo gets angry when he hears this name now.

"Tell him I'm tired from the journey and have taken a rest," Hanzo ordered.

He will meet the ninja sent by Danzo Shimura, because the other party is the assistant of the Hokage and represents Konoha.

But he is also the leader of a village, so he doesn't need to give face to Shimura Danzo and not meet him at the first time.

After all, it wasn’t Danzo Shimura or Hiruzen Sarutobi himself who came.

Chapter 603 Danzo in action

After leaving Shimura Danzo's subordinates alone for more than a day, Hanzo allowed the Rain Ninja to bring them to the office only after the other party requested to see him many times.

"I hope what you have to say is worth my time." Hanzo sat in his office chair, looking coldly at the Root Ninja in front of him.

If the Root ninja hadn't kept emphasizing that the matter was extremely important and only Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Village, could make the decision, Hanzo wouldn't have bothered to meet him himself.

He is not the only ninja in the Rain Village, Hanzo also has subordinates.

Feeling Hanzo's cold gaze, the Root Ninja couldn't help but breathe hard.

"Lord Hanzo, this is a matter of life and death for the Rain Village. There is no way you can waste your time." The Root Ninja quickly adjusted his state and said seriously.

"Is this related to the life and death of Rain Village?" Hanzo's eyes became sharp and unfriendly.

His Rain Village was running well and had never been involved in the Ninja World War, so how could there be such a big crisis?

The Root Ninja felt uncomfortable being stared at by Hanzo, but as a specially trained ninja, he still gritted his teeth and continued, "That's right."

"But this is also an opportunity for you and the Rain Village. An opportunity to eliminate the opponent."

"Opponent?" Hanzo frowned and looked at the Root Ninja.

"Don't you want to destroy the Ninja Clan and kill Sosuke who brought you disgrace?" the Root Ninja said in a seductive tone.

Before the failure of the siege on Sosuke, Hanzo gave the impression of being a top-level powerful man with extraordinary bearing in the ninja world.

After being defeated by Sosuke, Hanzo used cooperation as an excuse to lure the Ninja Clan into death, almost destroying the good image he had accumulated in the first half of his life.

When people talk about Hanzo now, they no longer think of the demigod Hanzo who dominated the ninja world, but the ninja master Sosuke who was able to suppress water jutsu with fire jutsu.

The Root Ninja couldn't think of any reason why Hanzo wouldn't hate Sosuke.

However, what the Root Ninja was greeted with was not Hanzo's negative answer, but a ruthless look as if he was looking at a dead person, followed by an overwhelming momentum.

call! !

Hanzo's chakra exploded, and terrifying murderous intent enveloped the Root Ninja.

The Root Ninja's body instantly stiffened and his face turned pale. He felt a chill that penetrated deep into his bones rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

At this moment, the Root Ninja knew very clearly who the ninja in front of him was.

This is the demigod Hanzo who was able to become famous in the ninja world as a ninja from a small country and made the five major ninja villages a little afraid of him, not just any random person.

Hanzo looked at the Root Ninja with a cold gaze. If he can't deal with Sosuke, how can he deal with a mere Konoha Ninja like you?

Hanzo is really a little overwhelmed. Or is it Shimura Danzo, who is going to destroy the Ninja Clan and Sosuke. What does Shimura Danzo think of him?

There will indeed be some conflicts when the Rain Village and the Ninja Clan coexist, but if the Rain Village were to fight the Ninja Clan now, it would truly be a matter of life and death.

Hanzo didn't know whether Sosuke's water jutsu was stronger than his, but Sosuke's overall strength was definitely stronger than his.

Moreover, the Ninja Clan also has Nagato Kakuzu, and the Rain Village does not have anyone strong enough to match him.

In the case of an imbalance in high-end combat power, the Rain Ninjas do not have as rich middle-level combat power as the five major ninja villages. If the Ninja Clan fights against the Rain Ninja Village, the Rain Ninja Village will definitely lose.

It can even be said that it is the Rain Country that loses, because the Rain Village will be defeated and the Ninja Clan will not be able to win easily.

If a war is declared with the Rain Village, the already scarce middle and lower-level combat power of the Ninja Clan will suffer severe damage, and they will be unable to defend the Rain Country.

"My feud with Sosuke, and the feud between the Rain Village and the Ninja Clan, are all internal affairs of the Rain Country. There is no need to trouble Konoha." Hanzo saw the Root ninja sweating profusely, so he retracted his aura and said lightly.

It's also because Konoha is now very powerful and the Rain Village can't afford to offend it, otherwise Hanzo would want to kill this Root ninja.

It starts with the fact that the Rain Village is in life-and-death crisis, and then goes on to say that Sosuke is going to be killed and the Ninja Clan will be destroyed.

"Hu." The Root Ninja panted rapidly. The pressure that Hanzo just brought to him was really great.
