Chapter 1144 Postponement

The power of the Amaterasu Black Flame is extremely powerful, but there are many ways to deal with it. It is not an invincible ninjutsu. The so-called "burning all things" generally stays at the material level. Most of the extraordinary powers in the form of energy divergence. It can effectively resist and is so powerful that it can be thrown away by directly blocking it with chakra.

But Kirabi's method of rolling on the water to extinguish ordinary flames not only cannot deal with the Amaterasu Black Flame, but will actually speed up its spread and make it burn more violently.

With the blessing of the Flame Release Kagu Earth Life, the entire eight-tailed ox-ghost was like a lit torch, burning fiercely, and was soon seriously injured.

The tailed beast's recovery ability is extremely powerful, but it also takes time. At least for now, this big guy is a lamb to be slaughtered.

Soon, the screams became more and more feeble. Uchiha Sasuke, realizing that his opponent was almost dying, used his pupil technique to control the Amaterasu black flames and let them slowly extinguish. Only a embarrassed Kirabi was seen unconscious. The ground floats on the water.

Upon seeing this, Gui Deng Shuiyue stepped forward, grabbed the back of his neck and threw him, carrying him on his back without any regard for politeness, and said to his two teammates:

"It's almost done, let's go quickly!"

Whether it is Kirabi's complete tailed beast transformation, Susanoo, or the terrifying Amaterasu black flames, they are all very conspicuous, and it is impossible to hide them from the sensing ninjas who are ready to attack. The support of Kumo ninja will soon come Will come, and if I don't leave, I'm afraid it will be another hard battle.

Uchiha Sasuke, who had restrained his momentum and returned to the appearance of a handsome young man, covered his overused right eye, paused for a moment and then ordered:

"According to the plan, evacuate!"

It was a little too smooth, which made Uchiha Sasuke a little confused. However, now is not the time to worry blindly. He has already used all his cards to deal with the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki. His condition is not very good, and he is being targeted by the Kumo Ninja pursuers. , but that’s troublesome.

The three of them led the prisoners toward the southwest and fiercely fought against each other. The splash caused by this place gradually subsided. In less than five minutes, an elite Kumo ninja arrived here. After a brief survey, he understood the general situation.

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of the sensing ninja who was proficient in hunting, the cloud ninja spread out in small groups.

Ignoring the reaction of the Fourth Raikage who received the news not long after, in a bush about five kilometers away from where Uchiha Sasuke and Kirabi fought, an invisible behemoth overwhelmed a large area of ​​reeds. Only after the people chased him did he reveal his figure.

It was a huge chameleon that was almost two stories high. It had a rein on its body and a cushion on its back. A small puppet acted as the driver, driving it to open its big mouth. Then, the unconscious humanoid was What he spit out was Kirabi, the eight-tailed Jinchuuriki who was supposed to be captured by Uchiha Sasuke.

Uchiha Sasuke, who has mastered the sage mode and has greatly improved his perception, has extraordinary strength. Even if Kirabi can use the secret technique of tentacle stand-in to separate his body, he cannot escape Uchiha Sasuke's pursuit.

Without Daimaru's puppets and psychic beasts to hide on his behalf, it would have been impossible for Jin Chan to escape from his shell as smoothly as in his memory.

As for why he wanted to save the life of Kirabi Kumo, a stranger with whom he had no connection, it was not because Daimaru wanted to have trouble with Uchiha Sasuke, nor was it to show his goodwill towards Kumogakure.

There are not many jinchuriki left of the nine tailed beasts, and not many of them can really come in handy in the future Fourth Ninja War.

The seven-tailed jinchuriki's frontal combat power is weak, the six-tailed jinchuriki's character is not tough enough, the fourth-tailed jinchuriki's purple is so-so, but her temper is too fiery and difficult to control, and the nine-tailed jinchuriki is below Uzumaki Naruto. In other words, Rabbi Kiri, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, can become a reliable partner before the reunion of Team 7.

The protagonist never walks alone. Uzumaki Naruto needs a "similar" friend, the kind who can fight side by side and defend against powerful enemies together.

In addition, Kirabi's premature death made Daimaru have some doubts about the strength comparison of the five major ninja villages after the Fourth Ninja War.

Once the Kumogakure Village loses a sea-fixing master like Kirabi, the ninja world will turn into a two-horse struggle for supremacy between Suna Ninja and Konoha Ninja. A confrontation with no retreat or room for relaxation is far inferior to the three-legged confrontation after joining the Kumo Ninja.

If the declining Kumogakure Village is reduced to a supporting role along with the out-of-touch Iwagakure Village and the Kirigakure Village, which is seriously lacking in stamina, the so-called alliance and friendly relationship between the Suna Ninja and the Konoha Ninja will not be able to maintain.

Don't abandon the options early before you are sure to become the only super ninja village. This is why Daimaru strives to maintain a balance.

"Don't be too strong, but don't be so weak that the Sand Ninja can't hide at all. It's really hard to deal with!" 』

After learning the outcome of the battle between the "Snake" team led by Sasuke Uchiha and Kirabi in the Land of Thunder, Daimaru couldn't help but sigh.

A situation where there is conflict, but will not develop into a war that sweeps the entire shinobi world, is ideal for Sunagakure Village, which needs time to accumulate strength.

If possible, Daimaru really doesn't want to leave the fate of Sunagakure Village to the so-called "savior" and to maintain the general dynamic balance.

But the real dilemma forced Daimaru to suppress his desire to cause trouble.

The pressure on the three ninjas of Konoha Village is already great. Tsunade and Jiraiya are not dead yet, and Orochimaru, who is temporarily out of the game, is not completely dead either. Although Daimaru plans not to resurrect him, at least he will not return to Konoha. Village, but the future is really hard to predict, and plans may not keep up with changes.

There are also a large number of Konoha jounin led by Kakashi Hatake and Metkai, as well as the scale of chuunin that far exceeds that of other ninja villages. This is the greatest confidence that Konoha Village can suppress the entire ninja world.

The twelve Konoha ninjas headed by Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke are all difficult to deal with. The two "saviors" are almost as good as Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

In a word, Konoha Village is a bit too strong. Sunagakure Village has made up its mind to be the follower of Konoha Village in the next few decades, but it does not want to have no say at all.

There is Yunyin Village, who is extremely powerful and not very convinced yet, who will undoubtedly have to share a lot of pressure.

"Father, are you still worried that other ninja villages are too weak?"

Jin Jin, who has always been very positive, was put a lot of effort into education and training by Miss Saya. In the end, she ended up getting closer to Daimaru, which made the two sisters Saya and Shanai very unconvinced. However, Jin Jin, who is more "motivated", is indeed very good. She likes to be busy, especially the pleasure of controlling things in her hands. This kind of temperament is lacking in other "artificial elves". Daimaru was also very curious at one time. What did Miss Saya teach her? Misinterpreted into what it is now.

Pushing aside the sealed document at hand, Daimaru patted Jin's little head and replied patiently:

"If it is an enemy that cannot coexist, then undoubtedly the weaker the better; but in the future, the ninja world will usher in a long period of calm, and a cycle of chaos and chaos will break out every ten years or so. It will be broken by the rapid development of productivity..."

"I understand this..."

Jin rushed to say very enthusiastically,

"The ninja world is so big. In the past, it took more than ten years to reach the limit of dividing limited interests, and they had to fight to confirm their respective status and share of income; now due to the rise of the Wind Country and the great success of the puppet industry in Sunagakure Village , which has greatly improved the productivity of the entire ninja world..."

To put it simply, in the past, the cakes were limited, and after more than ten years there was not enough for everyone to eat together, so they had to grab it; now the cakes are getting bigger and bigger, although Sunagakure Village’s share is getting bigger and bigger, but overall, Other ninja villages also received a lot of benefits, but not nearly as much as the Suna ninja.

From interests to strength, it will take some time to transform. Before this wave of "big dividends" is fully digested and falls into a new round of "involution" between major powers, there will be minor conflicts between the various ninja villages, but they will definitely It will not develop to the point of fighting each other.

Under such circumstances, as long as the major ninja villages maintain a minimum balance of strength, no one will take the risk of being attacked by a group and provoke a war. Even if there are ambitious people who are unwilling to do so, they can only lament that they were born at the wrong time. , the period of barbaric expansion has passed.

"Except for foreign enemies, the five major ninja villages will probably never see a major war in my lifetime. Therefore, they are not mortal enemies, but colleagues who cooperate and compete with each other. Whether they are partners or opponents, they will start an all-out war. The price is too high to be accepted. Unless you are a lunatic or an idiot, you will not do this..."

When thinking about the possible future development, Daimaru is a little excited and a little worried.

What I'm looking forward to is that this is the area where the Suna Ninja are good at. The first-mover advantage will most likely be so great that other ninja villages can't catch up. What I'm worried about is that one of the great ninja villages will decline so much that the balance of the ninja world will completely collapse. , giving some ambitious people the opportunity to take desperate risks.

Before Sunagakure Village completely overwhelms Konoha Village and becomes the undisputed overlord of the ninja world, it is better not to break pillars like Kirabi, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

"Fu from Taki Ninja Village, Yu Gao from Kirigakure Village, and Lao Murasaki from Iwagakure Village, if possible, try to save their lives. With their support, our Sunagakure Village only has the Kazekage Fifth Generation - Gaara and Master 'Red Sand Dust' won't look so eye-catching..."

The existence of Rasa and Hayakura still needs to be hidden, and the likes of Maki, Temari, Kankuro, Nighteye, Murasaki and Chi are still inferior.

"Then...do you think my father will secretly control the Kingdom of Rain in the future?"

"Um!"

Daimaru confirmed Jin's guess,

"The Rain Ninja Village Council surrendered after the war on behalf of the Country of Rain and accepted the punishment! The Akatsuki organization turned from light to dark, took over the remaining inheritance, and used it for us Suna Ninja..."

Those "shells" that have existed for a long time, have a not too bad reputation, and have done earth-shattering things cannot be discarded casually, because they may come in handy at some point.

"I probably understand what 'Father' is thinking! Just like controlling Danzo Shimura, the Sixth Generation of Hokage, it is a disguise to protect oneself. Once in danger, it will be discarded decisively. The attention of the ninja world must not be focused on Sunagakure. Village, put it on the Kingdom of Wind..."

"That's basically it!"

If there was no threat from the "Akatsuki" organization, the aerial combat troops of Sunagakure Village, the feat of building large-scale construction, turning the desert into fertile fields, and enshrining the name of the country of wind, leaving it alone and doing their own thing, would definitely attract Interference from all sides.

"The ninja world needs a common enemy that will continue to exist! I don't know when the pursuers of the Tengai Otsutsuki clan will arrive. If we don't show up for ten or eight years, we Suna ninja will be too arrogant..."

Nowadays, in Sunagakure Village, the number of ninjas above the chuunin level is close to 10,000. This is still the result of the lack of general mobilization, the suppression of genin promotion, and the failure to consider the large number of puppet apprentices who have reached the level of strength and are divided into various fields. .

If all are counted, it is close to the size of the ninjas in Yunyin Village. Of course, the overall combat effectiveness is still far away, mainly because a large number of ninjas are novices.

In another three to five years, the Kingdom of Wind will become a powerful country only inferior to the Kingdom of Fire. Sand Hidden Village still has the right to govern, and other ninja villages are still struggling with whether the "shadow" has the final say or the daimyo. After all, it’s already a lot of steps slower.

"That……"

Jin hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice,

"Shimura Danzo, what ending do you plan to give him, father?"

"Fight and die heroically!"

Daimaru responded,

"From the current point of view, Uchiha Sasuke's strength is obviously better than Uzumaki Naruto. Even if Hatake Kakashi and Haruno Sakura are added, the chance of winning is not great. Since Shimura Danzo's positioning is 'The Second Generation of Hokage - Thousand As the successor of "Tou Feijian", let him die generously like his teacher..."

"It's easier for him..."

After the Five Shadows Conference, there is a good opportunity. If arranged well, it is actually not difficult to operate.

"The only thing that bothers me is how to let Sarutobi Asuma succeed Shimura Danzo..."

A publicity campaign takes time, and improving records is not always possible.

Obviously, Uchiha Sasuke's revenge cannot wait that long, and it will be difficult for Danzo Shimura to survive this year's "Five Shadows Conference"!

"Then... what if the 'Five Kage Conference' is postponed, or Uchiha Sasuke's attention is also distracted?"

"Who can compare with the hatred of genocide? Wait..."

Daimaru had an idea,

"If Uchiha Sasuke's will is twisted by the other gods used by Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan on Naruto Uzumaki, can he be allowed to turn his gun?"

There is still a slight gap between the forced illusion of "not being an enemy of the Leaf Village" and working for the Leaf Village. In the middle, there is actually an important person who has been left behind by Daimaru, who can come in handy.

"Yakushi Kabuto, Snake Immortal Technique, and Reincarnation in the Dirty Land!"

Once Uchiha Sasuke is frustrated, he will either study the forbidden technique - filth reincarnation on his own, or find Yakushi Kabuto to cooperate.

If you can control the third generation of Hokage's dirty body to speak, you can still find the truth, and you don't have to find Shimura Danzo.

Uchiha Sasuke, who is thirsty for the truth, is now in the fog of multiple intelligence construction. Compared with killing indiscriminately, it is more important to find the real culprit behind the scenes.
