Chapter 122 Coming in droves
There are eight official roads leading to Konoha.
Not just ninjas from small countries.
Even Ōnoki and the others were speechless when they walked on the flat ground that was dozens of meters wide.
The most important thing is that they were on guard all the way, but there was not even a single bandit passing by.
This is unreasonable in the outside world.
On the avenue, there were hurried carriages coming and going, including tourists and caravans.
Ohnoki and others were not unaware that the Fire Nation was developing rapidly. After all, the beef and wine from the Lightning Nation were compulsorily exported to the Fire Nation.
Merchants who have been there all talk about how fast and well the Fire Nation is developing.
But hearing it with your ears and seeing it with your own eyes are different after all.
……
When Ōnoki saw the Konoha complex from afar, it was as if he had stepped into another world.
Tracks are laid between dozens of stories high-rise buildings, and vehicles of all colors are swimming freely like fish.
There were countless pedestrians on the avenue, bustling with people and noisy.
……
The Tsuchikage attire he was so proud of was not even as elaborate as most people's.
the most important is……
He noticed people passing by and could tell at a glance if they were residents of Konoha.
There was a gleam of confidence in that look, which he had only seen in rare geniuses.
All the young people here are like this.
This huge sense of separation made him feel like something was stuck in his mouth, making it difficult for him to speak.
He couldn't help but start thinking...
Would it be better to let Uchiha Kagami rule the ninja world?
This thought only flashed through my mind for a moment.
……
Do not!
I will never give up the village built by my ancestors!
Uchiha Kagami, if you want the ninja world, take it from the body of an old man like me!
Oonoki's eyes gradually became firm.
He would not bow down simply because he saw the current prosperity of Konoha.
He just wanted to build Iwagakure Village into this state by himself.
Even if I am stubborn...
"Hey! Old man, is this Konoha? It's so big!"
A boy with a blond ponytail jumped up and grabbed the floating hem of Oonoki's clothes.
"Wow! It's so big! There are so many people!"
"If I throw a bomb..."
Bang!
Ōnoki punched the boy down.
"Deidara! Be quiet!"
"Ah! It hurts, old man! Be careful or I'll blow you to death!"
A large hand grabbed Deidara's shoulder and threw him into the group behind him.
Raikage...can't be called Raikage anymore, just Ai.
He walked over to Ōnoki, looking at the prosperous Konoha, his voice low.
"Not only in military, economy and culture, the Fire Nation is also far ahead..."
"With someone like Uchiha Jing keeping an eye on things, Konoha doesn't have any messy political problems right now..."
"Senpai Ohnoki, do we still have a chance?"
Ai's heart was shaken.
Onoki shook his head.
"Let's do the things at hand first and take back our name."
"All I can say is that if the Fire Nation ever annexed all other nations, I will return to the Hidden Rock Village and die."
"At least... die as an Iwagakure."
……
"Senpai Ohnoki, don't be so pessimistic." Yagura said calmly: "Actually, I think..."
"Uchiha Jing may not be interested in our territory. After this, I plan to withdraw from the alliance."
"The elder Yuanshi also thinks that it would be better for me to go back to the Water Country to take charge of the situation instead of wasting time in the Lightning Country."
Among the Four Nations Alliance, the Water Country has the most elite ninjas.
Who can blame them for having a bloodline limit? For example, the Uchiha clan has three magatama, which is at least the level of a jonin.
Families like Corpse Bloodline and Ice Escape, once developed to a certain level, can become elite units.
With the background of the Fire Nation being the only dominant country, Karatachi Yagura went to the Lightning Nation before being controlled by Obito.
It also avoided the tragic fate of being treated as a puppet in the original time.
Luo Sha became anxious.
You, Goji Yagura, have a home to return to, but I have no home!
If the alliance breaks up, where are you going to let us go?
"Mizukage, our four nations have been close for almost ten years. How can we..."
"Wait, I'm not the Mizukage now." Karuta Yagura raised his hand and noticed the Uchiha members patrolling not far away.
He didn't want to give anyone a chance to criticize him.
……
"The one in front, get out of the way."
An indifferent voice sounded.
Everyone turned around and saw a team of ninjas wearing black robes with red clouds.
The first thing to look at is the forehead protector.
Leading the way... is the Rain Village.
What's going on? Hanzo's men are so arrogant that they dare to ask us to get out of the way?
Soon, they discovered something was wrong...
"You are... Scorpion!!"
Grandma Chiyo saw her grandson in the crowd at a glance and exclaimed in surprise.
Because Sasori had been entangled with Hatake Sakumo for some time, the fact that he had a puppet of the Third Kazekage in his hands had long been exposed.
But the Sand Village was too busy and didn't dare to chase him.
"It's Granny Chiyo, long time no see."
Scorpion had a blank expression on his face and turned his gaze to Luo Sha.
"Letting this guy become the leader of the village? Sunagakure is really in decline."
"What did you say!!"
……
"That's enough, I said...get out of the way."
Pain ignored everyone, and his Rinnegan emitted strange and terrifying waves.
The well-informed Ōnoki was the first to realize what it was.
“…Rinnegan!”
"This kind of eyes actually exists!"
The eyes of the legendary Six Paths Sage, the eye that controls life and death among the three major pupil techniques!
"Who are you?"
Pain did not answer, and led the Akatsuki organization straight through the Shikoku ninjas.
He had hated these ninjas from the great powers immensely since the day his parents died.
With his current strength, he is fully confident that he can defeat the four major countries of the Fire Nation.
Haha, let’s take this opportunity to let them experience the pain of a small country.
Fire Nation?
Didn't the Fire Nation suffer at the hands of Uchiha Kagami? Look how good it has become now.
Sure enough, my idea was correct!
What a pity... Uchiha Kagami, you have the strength to be the ultimate weapon, but you are unwilling to bring peace to the ninja world.
Then let me, Payne, do it!
It wasn't until the Akatsuki members passed by that everyone came to their senses.
"That kind of pupil power..."
Ohnoki's voice was trembling as he thought back to the day that caused him to lose his legs.
This guy's pupil power... in his opinion, has reached the level of Uchiha Kagami that night! !
When did such a terrifying and powerful person appear in the ninja world!
"Even a guy like Scorpion is willing to follow him..."
Granny Chiyo groaned and said, "Hanzang hasn't shown up for a long time. Look at his forehead protector..."
"Since he didn't come, he must be dead."
Ai frowned: "I've never heard of such a guy, but...if I didn't want to cause trouble, I would really want to beat up such an arrogant guy!"
Just then, another group of people approached.
The leader was an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties.
He has a long beard on his mouth and chin, his head is wrapped in bandages, he wears green laminated armor, and carries a samurai sword.
He stopped.
"I am Mifune of the Iron Country, nice to meet you all."
"It's Mifune...you're here too." Oonoki's words did not mean to look down on Mifune's strength.
I just feel that... even the Iron Nation, which is a neutral country, has to join this struggle.
I think all the famous people in the ninja world will come here...
