Chapter 121 Only One Year Left

Now the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village is missing, the Mist Village has been in civil strife because of the Blood Mist Village policy, the Cloud Village has suffered heavy losses because of the rampage of the Eight-Tails, and the Iwagakure Village has chosen to retreat when they saw that the situation is not right, and will not fight with the Konoha ninja for the time being, choosing to avoid a fight.

The entire ninja world fell into a strange peace.

But everyone understood that the reason for this peace was because of the riots within the three major ninja villages of Sand, Mist, and Cloud.

The current ninja world is like a bomb that can explode at any time, and fighting may break out again at any time.

Time flies, and another two years have passed.

Qianyu is already 18 years old.

And Kakashi is already 9 years old.

During this period, Chiba and Kakashi worked together to carry out various missions.

Because they are now in the Land of Hot Springs and Konoha has the advantage, the frequency of battles has decreased a lot, so during this period, Kakashi returned to Konoha Village and took the Chunin Exam.

Chiba and Kakashi couldn't understand this.

Kakashi has been a Chunin for three years, why is he still required to take part in the Chunin Exam?

At the same time, Kakashi also had troubles. Every time he met Uchiha Obito, he was like a dog-skin plaster and couldn't be shaken off.

Moreover, the situation in the ninja world has become increasingly chaotic in the past two years.

The Sand Village tried its best to find the trace of the Third Kazekage, but they could not find him, forcing the Sand Village into a state of leaderlessness.

The Sand Village is now temporarily led by Rasa, who becomes the acting Kazekage.

Because Rasa inherited the Magnetic Style of Gold Sand from the third Kazekage, and his reputation is the highest in the Sand Village.

However, even with an acting Kazekage, some of the problems caused by the loss of the Third Kazekage in the Sand Village cannot be solved.

In order to resolve the civil strife in the Hidden Mist Village, they chose to divert the conflict outside the village.

The Hidden Mist Village is now like a mad dog, attacking indiscriminately whether they encounter Konoha ninjas or Cloud ninjas.

The Iwagakure Village still chooses to hide and does not seem to be taking any action until the situation becomes clear.

This means that now Konoha only needs to face the pressure from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Now Konoha has sent a large number of ninjas into the Land of Hot Springs, pinning the Cloud Ninjas on the border and preventing them from getting through.

At the same time, a new powerful organization emerged in the Hidden Rain Village.

Xiao organization.

The current philosophy of Akatsuki is to "change the world with gentle means to usher in peace, and build a bridge of hope leading to world peace through communication between people."

Akatsuki is committed to peace and is running around everywhere.

...

"Teacher Qianyu, all the enemies have been dealt with."

Kakashi, with blood still splattered on his face, reported the mission to Chiba.

Qianyu nodded and said, "Well, there are not many Cloud Ninjas wandering around in the Land of Hot Springs now. Let's go back to our base and rest for a while."

Seeing that Chiba's face didn't look good, Kakashi asked: "Teacher Chiba, what's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood."

Chiba said solemnly, "Only one year left, Kakashi."

Kakashi immediately realized what Chiba was talking about: "Does it mean that Mito-sama only has one year left before Konoha will have to start the sealing of the Nine-Tails all over again?"

"Yes."

"Teacher Qianyu, are you sure now?"

"No, with my current military achievements, it may not be enough to make Sarutobi Hiruzen change his mind."

Kakashi frowned, his face gloomy: "Then should we go back to Konoha?"

Qianyu shook his head and said, "No need. I have arranged for the snakes in the Ryuchi Cave to monitor Uzumaki Mito, but it is not considered monitoring. Uzumaki Mito knows the existence of those snakes, so if there is anything abnormal with Uzumaki Mito, I will know it immediately.

Let’s go back.”

Chiba brought Kakashi back to the Konoha base.

Qianyu found Orochimaru and asked, "Teacher Orochimaru, do you have a mission?"

Orochimaru took out a mission scroll and said, "There is a mission suitable for you. The son of the Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, Blue Lightning Ai, and the current Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee are active in the Land of Hot Water and are imitating you and attacking Konoha ninjas everywhere.

Ai and Kirabi have very special identities. This is the most rewarding mission so far. How about it? Do you accept it?"

Qianyu nodded and agreed: "I accept this task."

When Chiyu took the scroll and prepared to leave, Orochimaru reminded her, “Chiyu, you don’t need to be too nervous.

I got the information about the Root. Now the situation is no longer so difficult for Konoha. Danzo is going to join forces with Sarutobi Sensei to suppress Uchiha. And you should know clearly that you are the most suitable person.

Moreover, Uzumaki Miyuki has a very good talent for sealing techniques, and it is very smooth for her to learn sealing techniques from Kushina.

With your current strength and achievements, you will soon play an important role in the Uchiha issue, and Uzumaki Miyuki is extremely talented.

The most important thing is your Mangekyō Sharingan. You are now powerful enough to make the Konoha high-ranking officials change their minds."

After hearing Orochimaru's reminder, Qianyu did not relax.

Chiba replied: "Teacher Orochimaru, I don't want any changes, so I can't let my guard down until everything is settled."

Orochimaru said to Chiba: "Chiba, there is nothing certain in this world. Changes are everywhere and at all times."

Qianyu nodded slightly and said, "I know, so I want to increase the possibility as much as possible. I can't ignore all difficulties now, so unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want Kushina to follow me around to avoid being hunted down, because I can't be sure that I can completely protect Kushina from being hunted down.

Teacher Orochimaru, I will go on my mission now."

Chiba left Orochimaru's room and began to carry out his mission.

...

In the past two years, Killer Bee has been training hard and is now able to transform into a tailed beast with his own consciousness, just like the previous Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Bruhito.

What moved Eight-Tails and Ai was that although Killer Bee was looked down upon and excluded by the villagers because of his status as a Jinchūriki, he always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude.

Therefore, Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails work very well together and rarely lose control.

So Ai brought Killer Bee to the battlefield of the Land of Hot Springs, and while killing Konoha ninjas, he trained Killer Bee to control the power of the Eight-Tails.

Qianyu was heading towards the location where Ai and Kirabi were last seen.

Qianyu was secretly looking forward to it. Ever since releasing the Eight-Tails in the Hidden Cloud Village and witnessing Ai's strength, Qianyu had been looking forward to fighting an elite ninja as powerful as Ai.

Qianyu was almost fed up with this guy who had no ability to fight back.

Qianyu hasn't experienced a fair fight for a long time.

Moreover...this time, by fighting with Ai and Kirabi, you will most likely be rewarded with witness points.

Qianyu, whose fighting desire had been fully aroused, quickened his pace.
