Chapter 1029 Invitation

If you want to accomplish a major event that affects so many people in the ninja world that has formed a mature order, the right time, place, and people are indispensable.

In the early years, the ninja world did not have the conditions for a major war. In the later years, the Fourth Ninja War ended. The Konoha family was the dominant one, and other villages were insignificant. It was even more difficult to challenge the hegemony of the ninja world.

Only in the past two years can we take advantage of the fire and push forward difficult things quickly. It is best to do it in one step so that no one can stop it.

Even Gaara, the Kazekage Fifth Generation, only knew a rough idea. If it weren't for Daimaru's special status, he really wouldn't be able to mobilize too many resources to achieve success in one fell swoop.

Because of this, the Six-Pillar Snow Peak can be built without the observation of interested people.

Because when he was in power, he renovated the entire Sunagakure Village, severely overdrafting the finances for the next two to three years, so no one expected that Daimaru would do something even more earth-shattering.

Even if the area more than 3,000 meters above the top is covered with illusion space, half of the six snow peaks that soar into the sky are still shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.

In the past, under the climate conditions of the Kingdom of Wind, even if there were clouds, they would be dissipated by the raging high-altitude wind or be directly pushed to the Kingdom of Rain.

If the country of fire had an abnormal climate and suffered a late spring cold attack, the changes in the country of rain were even greater.

The reduction of nearly half of the rain clouds has directly increased the number of days that this flood-ridden country can see the sun. This is almost impossible to happen in the season of continuous spring rain.

The one who felt the deepest feeling was Nagato. Because the intelligence was greatly leaked, the secrets of the "Akatsuki" organization were known to the five major ninja villages, and the headquarters of the Rain Country was no longer safe.

In order to maintain high-intensity reconnaissance, the Rain Tiger Free Technique also consumes more chakra due to the decrease in rain.

Such a change was detected immediately.

His physical condition was not good to begin with, and he needed the massive vitality of the Heretic Golem to maintain himself, but this was actually an attempt to overdraw his future by drinking poison to quench his thirst.

Fortunately, the two tailed beasts have been sealed and there is more room for relief, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

"It was such an unexpected accident..."

Standing on the top of the spire in the center of the Kingdom of Rain, looking at the clouds in the sky that had become much thinner, Tiandao could not help but murmur to himself.

Although the expression on his face remained unchanged, the worry in his words was clear.

Xiao Nan beside him whispered:

"This is just an accident. I have seen the snow peaks of the Suna Ninja plateau from a distance. Green plants are being planted at the construction site below. It doesn't look like they are targeting the Land of Rain..."

In other words, everything the Sand Ninjas did to improve the environment of the Kingdom of Wind was not to attack the Kingdom of Rain and the "Akatsuki" organization.

Nagato's physical condition deteriorated and he just suffered a disaster.

"Don't you have accurate information about the two and eight tails? Our allies have become more and more useless recently. Go tell them that if they cannot show their due value, our cooperation will end here..."

"Is it too radical?"

Xiaonan was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, since he insists on carrying the name of Uchiha Madara, he should show his due strength..."

Uchiha Obito's identity has actually been almost confirmed. The former crane tail is not that intimidating. If it weren't for the secret skill and divine power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, this person would not even be as worthy of fear as Uchiha Itachi. .

Now that Nagato has made a decision, Xiaonan will naturally not object.

only……

"Is there any need to pay attention to the Sunagakure Village?"

"A ninja village without tailed beasts is worthless..."

Nagato rejected Konan's proposal.

"But, Sand Ninja is an ally of Konoha Ninja. If you want to capture the remaining tailed beasts, you must go to Konoha Village..."

"Suspicious allies are sometimes more dangerous than vicious enemies..."

Nagato clearly saw the so-called alliance between Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village. The apparent harmony was due to the situation.

Last year, the "Akatsuki" organized a large number of people to attack Sunagakure Village. Was it really too late for Konoha Village's aid to arrive?

It seems that it is indeed what happened, but Sunagakure Village has long warned, and the time to request assistance from Konoha Village has been much earlier. A large number of elite soldiers and generals are stationed in Kikyo Mountain Castle, using the fastest flight of Sunagakure Puppet transportation can still catch up to the end of the attack, and even pursue it afterwards.

Well, everyone saw the result, just one step too late.

Everything seemed to be normal, except for the Suna Ninja who was unlucky.

It is definitely impossible to find evidence to prove that the allies deliberately delayed time, but this kind of inadvertent "negligence" at a critical moment can cause terrible damage.

If the "Akatsuki" organization attacks Konoha Village, will the Suna Ninja try their best to rescue it?

Do not be silly!

Helping each other and fulfilling their due obligations is all. If it is not related to their own interests, the so-called alliance may not be safe, and the formation of the ninja alliance is far away.

If it weren't for the Sand Ninja's own efforts, it would have been the so-called allies' turn to help them collect the corpses half a year ago.

Nagato, who has a clear eye on fire, finally understood that although the five ninja villages were not scattered, they had considerable conflicts of interest with each other. Before the "Akatsuki" organization truly showed the strength to destroy the entire Konoha village, the real alliance of the ninja world , it cannot be set up at all.

As for those peripheral organizations that were wiped out, most of them were bastards who did all kinds of evil. They failed more than succeeded and failed more than they did. Sooner or later, they had to be cleaned up and killed by the "Quick Rescue Team" and the "Sniper Team". Nagato didn't feel bad at all. .

While the two were talking, the sound of spring thunder came from the distant sky.

After the scene was silent for a moment, Xiaonan asked:

"The Sand Ninja's strength has risen too fast. The strength required to build such a large plateau snow peak is extremely terrifying. This is not something ordinary ninjas can do. Even in Sage Mode, they probably can't do it. Such a feat..."

Nagato went all out and used the Earth Explosion Star, the All-Seeing Tension and the Shinra Tensei. Is it so powerful?

You should be able to manage it by overdrafting your body desperately.

The Suna Ninja's performance proved that at least in the field of force field control, it was no worse than Nagato's Rinnegan.

Could it be that the Sand Ninja also mastered the power of the Samsara Eye?

Neither Nagato nor Xiaonan dared to think in this direction.

During the interval between the Thunder God's thunder, Nagato replied indifferently:

"At least when Sand Hidden Village was attacked, they didn't have this strength. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to snatch the first tail..."

Shouldn't we be thankful that we acted in time and didn't have to wait until this year to "recycle" the last one?

Maybe, the past things are not worth delving into, at least the current Suna Ninja seems to be working hard for his thousand-year plan behind closed doors.

"In half a year at most, if there is still reliable news from Zetsu, I will go directly to Konoha Village..."

We can't delay any longer. As the "Akatsuki" organization leaks more and more intelligence and is targeted more and more harshly, it will become more difficult to operate smoothly in the future.

What was even more worrying was that Nagato realized that his body could no longer delay the situation indefinitely.

…

In Sunagakure Village, Xiang Rin and Guren smiled awkwardly at each other after seeing their old friends for a long time. Yukimaru, who was a little overwhelmed, followed Guren with worry on his face.

After leaving Orochimaru, no one expected to meet in this place.

Guren is quite satisfied with his current living conditions, and being able to live in seclusion here with Yukimaru is actually a good result.

Unfortunately, the two of them are still prisoners and do not have complete freedom. Not to mention being sand ninjas, they are not even ordinary villagers.

They were not disturbed, just because Daimaru was busy with other things and had no time to care about them.

After bringing Guren and Yukimaru back, the two lived in a bit of embarrassment. Only Kobayashi occasionally asked them to help take care of his pets and run errands. After the work was completed, he gave them some money and supplies to survive.

This kind of life is even more miserable than under Orochimaru, but at least there is no life-threatening danger that may come at any time.

Although you have lost your freedom, you have also gained the most basic guarantee of life. Overall, it is still a good deal.

However, when he saw the sand ninja protector on Du Xianglin's forehead, his originally peaceful heart began to become unbalanced.

In fact, Xiang Rin, who was recommended to serve as the bodyguard of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, was originally granted the Suna Ninja Protector temporarily just because her superb medical treatment skills were needed to make things easier. However, I don’t know if she was forgotten afterwards. It was taken back, and it has never been taken back.

Several months have passed, and Xiang Rin has been stuck in Sunagakure Village wearing the Sunagakure forehead protector for no apparent reason. Others don't know the truth, but for the sake of the forehead protector on her forehead, they don't embarrass her much. Only Xiang Rin understands that his identity as a sand ninja is false and he is just a fake.

After meeting Honglian, facing her unbalanced eyes, Xianglin didn't know where to start explaining, so she could only smile perfunctorily.

"We are also prisoners, but it seems that young girls are more popular!"

In fact, Guren is a little younger than Daimaru. Although he looks older, his face and style show his age.

Of course, compared with Xianglin who was in her early fifteen years, she is indeed not young.

Under Orochimaru's command, both of them were in charge of one party, but Guren was the boss of the southern base and was highly regarded. Even "high-quality assets" such as Onito Suigetsu were under her control.

Honglian, on the other hand, is like a fallen phoenix, inferior to a chicken. She has been reduced from being a candidate "container" to guarding failed experimental products, and is obviously marginalized.

Although there is no direct conflict between the two, they do not have much friendship. Because there is a competitive relationship, it is normal to dislike each other.

Because of Daimaru's intervention, many things had not had time to happen. It is obvious that Xiangren was more favored by Orochimaru because of her natural ability, which was beneficial to Uchiha Sasuke's training. For a "senior" like Guren who had been abandoned, it would be hard to see if she It is natural that it is pleasing to the eye.

"I didn't expect you to be here too. In this foreign country, shouldn't we take care of each other?"

"Foreign country?"

Honglian sneered and said,

"Do people like us still have a motherland and hometown? Or do you regard the Country of Grass as your motherland and the people under Orochimaru-sama as your home?"

"I just said it casually. You also understand what I mean. We are all outsiders to Suna Ninja. Isn't it normal to join a group to keep warm?"

"Looking at you, it seems like you don't need to hang out with us..."

Guren curled her lips.

As long as you have eyes, you can see that the lives of the residents of Sunagakure Village are getting better and better. If you join them and free ride on the rise of Suna Ninja, it will definitely be much better than hanging around without any name or distinction.

The people under Orochimaru's command were basically elites who had been displaced and suffered many hardships when they were young, but were able to survive from desperate situations. At least they still had some foresight.

Since Orochimaru can't survive anymore, he has to find a new backer.

Other villages have few connections, but Sand Hidden Village seems to be very good, so why not be interested?

Just as the two were exchanging words, a shadow guard wearing a mask appeared nearby, interrupting their greetings.

"Guren, Yukimaru, Korin, the Godaime wants to see you?"

The sudden change left the three of them stunned.

"The Godaime? Kazekage?"

Xiang Rin was a little surprised. Although he had some contact with Gaara because of Daimaru, he actually had no contact with Gaara in private. He was summoned suddenly, and he didn’t know why!

Guren felt that this was an opportunity. It was too dangerous to deal with Daimaru. I heard that the Kazekage Godaime was a relatively gentle person. Maybe this meeting could improve the situation.

Ten minutes later, Gaara met three uneasy former Orochimaru subordinates at the Kazekage's house.

Also present was Temari, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Is it them?"

The blonde girl looked at it and understood.

Xiang Rin is a familiar face. I met her during the Chuunin Exam three years ago. At that time, she was still a weak grass ninja and not worth mentioning. Now she is somewhat impressive, and she is wearing a Suna ninja forehead protector. How many changes have gone through to become what it is now.

As for Guren, he has the aura of a strong female ninja, not like a mediocre person, but in the end, he is a weak Yuukimaru. He has a faint trace of chakra, and he is probably not even a ninja.

Gaara waved his hand and motioned for several people to sit down at the arranged seats opposite. Gaara said slowly:

"I also know a lot about your fate with Sunagakure Village. Unfortunately, Daimaru has been too busy recently and has no time to care about you..."

Everyone has known this result for a long time. Nowadays, the reputation of Mr. "Red Sand Dust" has become more and more famous. It is not easy for ordinary people to meet him.

"It's not appropriate for you to stay without any reason, so I've prepared a few ways out for you..."

Next, Gaara explained how Sunagakure Village dealt with them.

Xiang Rin was hired as a "civilian patrol" by the security department run by Temari, that is, an "auxiliary police officer" who intervenes between ninjas and civilians. Anyway, he is the one who takes the blame. He faces the villagers, handles disputes, and is responsible to the security department. If he performs well, , after assessment, you can become a regular employee and be granted formal status.

Guren was hired by the official construction team of Sunagakure Village and became a glorious "temporary worker". He used Jingyu's talent to contribute to the construction of Sunagakure Village. Yukimaru had missed the age of enrollment and was arranged as a workshop apprentice. , also considered appropriate.
