MTL - Escape From Konoha-v6 Chapter 175 Meeting
Although a series of incidents caused by the whereabouts of Nanao caused some of the villages in Konoha to shift their attention to the kingdom of ghosts, but more attention was still focused on the small country of the rain country.
When Konoha Ninja in the Land of Rain began to search seriously, Tsunade Naruto, who was behind, was also involved in the investigation of the Land of Rain.
Among the small countries, the Country of Rain has a very special status.
Not only because this place was borrowed by big countries many times during the Ninja World War as the frontline battlefield, the population and economy here have always been very impoverished.
Every time a war breaks out, the population of this country will decrease and begin to migrate to other countries. Coupled with the economic damage, the country's business has not been very prosperous. Although there are some businessmen in the country, they are basically not very popular businessmen. Naturally, there are not many businesses that can be done.
Therefore, merchants also began to lose, and moved to the surrounding big countries, making the country of the Rain Country even worse.
Almost twenty years ago, after the leader of Yuyin, Sanjiaoyu Hanzo, passed away, such a dilapidated situation has been lingering over the land of rain. The **** rule at the root has also brought a lot of horror to this country.
According to the investigation results of the third generation of Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, during the period when Genbu was in control of Yuyin, about 40 Ukren ninjas and more than 200 civilians in the country of rain were secretly extradited to Genbu base and became the experimental materials for Genbu human experiments. . And this is only the result of the investigation on the surface, and the part that was not investigated in the dark may be much more than the literal one.
The wind and rain are turbulent, the mountains and rivers are broken, the people are running into exile, the businessmen are scattered, the high-level officials are extravagant and corrupt, and they collude with the high-ranking officials of the Fire Nation. It will not be long before they will be annexed by the Fire Nation in the name of protection. The most appropriate description of the Rain Nation at that time but.
It's a pity that before the Fire Nation could take action, the Ghost Nation suddenly emerged and fought Sha Yin.
Later, in the Kingdom of Rain, he funded Yuyin weapons and sent a fleet through the river to deter the Fire Country. The leader of Yuyin, Payne, attacked the Daming Mansion of the Rain Country and imprisoned the dignitaries in Yuyin. At the time when the Kingdom of Rain was at its most decadent, the Kingdom of Rain was able to reverse the situation in which the Kingdom of Rain was enslaved.
Afterwards, things were very simple. Yuyin became the highest administrative region of the Land of Rain, and the leader of Yuyin replaced the daimyo of the Land of Rain, making the daimyo's position exist in name only. It began to vigorously develop people's livelihood and commerce. After nearly ten years of hard work, the Land of Rain, which was originally on the verge of being broken, has directly regained its vitality and started to flourish.
Even Tsunade has to admit that the current leader of Yuyin, Payne, is a very accomplished leader.
If it was her, sitting in Payne's position, she might not necessarily do better than Payne.
If it was a difficult start for her to inherit the position of the Fifth Hokage, then the Land of Rain that Payne took over had a hellish start, and in the end she miraculously survived the most dangerous period. Although the Land of Rain has made little achievements in military affairs, its politics, people's livelihood and business are thriving.
But... such a ninja, whose identity is unknown.
No one has seen his real appearance, whether he is male or female, old or young, no one knows.
It is like a leader who does not exist, but his existence is truly seen by the people of the Kingdom of Rain. He has not only become the leader of the Country of Rain in action, but also the spiritual sustenance in the hearts of the people of the Country of Rain.
Every six days in Yuyin Village, there will be sunny days on the weekends of every week.
Rumor has it that this 'god' continuously reversed the sky that day with divine power, making this rainy village also have the right to bathe in the sun.
"Twisting the sky...for a day..."
Tsunade rubbed his eyebrows.
She has indeed heard that some ninjutsu can reverse the sky.
Among Konoha, some jounin mastered similar techniques.
But for one day, that is, twenty-four hours, how powerful a chakra is needed to be able to do this?
Not only is the identity of the opponent a mystery, but even his strength seems to be unpredictable and unpredictable.
Now most of the land of rain has been searched. If you want to dig further in the land of rain, you need to enter the rain.
But such a request would obviously not be accepted by Yuyin.
Letting them conduct a drastic search in the Kingdom of Rain is already the biggest concession. If they continue to force them, they may fall out with Yuyin.
At this juncture, Tsunade didn't want to cause trouble.
The premise is that there is no problem in the village of Yuyin.
Whether to enter Yuyin to search, or to return to the original path, has become a question that Tsunade needs to think about at present.
As Konoha's Hokage, she must not act rashly.
At this moment, someone opened the door and entered, and it was Lu Jiu who came.
Seeing Tsunade sitting on the chair beside the desk, frowning and thinking, he seemed to be in some kind of distress, and he knew it in his heart, and said, "Master Hokage, are you troubled by the matter of Yuyin?"
"Ah, yes, the search for the Land of Rain has basically come to an end, and there is only Yuyin that has not yet been investigated. I and the rest of the shadows are now considering whether to go from Yuyin Open a breach there."
If something is really found, there is no need to say anything, just send an army to suppress it all the way.
If Yuyin has no problems, their tough approach will seriously arouse Yuyin's resistance, and maybe even rekindle the flames of war.
Judging from the information collected so far, this Yuyin, Payne, doesn't look like a leader who can't fight back. On the contrary, he has a strong desire to attack, and his strength is likely to be at the same level as their five shadows.
This made Tsunade lament the good luck of the Land of Rain. A small country has produced two powerful ninjas who are comparable to the Five Kages one after another. No wonder that during the Second Ninja World War, it was regarded as having the potential to become the sixth largest country. .
In the final analysis, the military power of the era of one country and one village is tied to the ninja.
The stronger the ninja, the stronger the country's military power will be.
If the ninja is weak, the military power of the country will also weaken.
As for Takigakure, who was assigned to Nanao after the first Five Kages Conference, although he was once very prosperous, he has now declined, immersed in the prosperity of the past, and has long lost his aggressiveness. It cannot be compared with Yuyin at all.
"Lu Jiu, what do you think is the possibility of Yuyin having problems?"
Tsunade suddenly asked this question.
Lu Jiu didn't think too much, and said with a helpless smile: "For multiple-choice questions like this, where there are only two answers, yes or no, the probability is of course 50/50. However, I personally prefer to search the inside of Yuyin carefully. Fan. I think that the behind-the-scenes pushers will not let us focus on the village of Yuyin for no reason. Moreover, I am actually quite interested in this leader of Payne, and I want to see his true face in Lushan. We will have a better relationship in the future.”
Tsunade nodded.
Indeed, a country of rain that is developing day by day is actually not a good thing for a big country.
The prerequisite for the peace of a big country is that the surrounding small countries become weaker. Only when the surrounding small countries become weaker can the big countries achieve more prosperity. This is basically a tacit subconscious behavior of all big countries.
The fundamental reason for the decline of Takigakure, which was prosperous for a while, may not have been Konoha and Iwagakure who contributed to the flames. It's just that he was still young at that time, and he was still studying in a ninja school, and the ruler was his second grandfather, Senju Feima.
With the style of the second grandfather, he would probably observe Takiyin's situation secretly and intervene at the right time.
A village with tailed beasts, even if it is just a Ninja village in a small country, is a hidden and unstable factor for neighboring big countries.
Only by turning this instability into stability, can the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Earth develop with more peace of mind.
The so-called common peace and prosperity, in the final analysis, is just an unrealistic fantasy under the fierce competition between countries for every inch of land.
Even she is, ideally speaking, the kingdom of ghosts is more in line with her appetite, but she is also limited to the place of Konoha, and cannot make a move of betrayal. Knowing that this is not an easy path, but I always have the idea that a miracle will happen in my heart.
Although such a miracle does not exist.
"In that case, let's ask the daimyo for instructions. Anyway, making such a decision requires the approval of the daimyo."
Tsunade finalized the matter, to see what kind of statement the daimyo was going to give, whether they agreed to investigate Yuyin, or avoided conflict with Yuyin, and evacuated directly after investigating the country of rain.
Lu Jiu nodded.
At this time, Yuyin is the highest administrative body of the Land of Rain, and the Daming Mansion has existed in name only.
Wanting to thoroughly investigate Yuyin's interior is essentially a serious violation of the country's political privacy. If it is not done well, there will be a military conflict with the Rain Country.
And going to war with a country is not something that Hokage can unilaterally decide, and it needs the support of the daimyo.
"Leaving aside the matter of Yuyin, it will take some time to ferment to get the result. How is Shikamaru's condition at the root?"
Tsunade turned to the question.
Shikahisa is in charge of the contact with Shikamaru himself.
"It's not bad, the root does not restrict his freedom. As for Elder Danzang's body, it seems that his body is getting worse day by day. According to that kid, he may die within half a year. Besides, Elder Danzo seems to really intend to let go of the power in his hands, revealing that he intends to return the Wudou faction to the management of the Hokage faction."
"seem?"
Noticing Shikahisa's words, Tsunade frowned.
"Yes, this is only a conclusion obtained through superficial observations. In addition, he has not met Elder Danzang many times, so he cannot fully judge the physical and psychological state of the other party at this time."
"Forget it, then you don't have to worry about that guy Danzo. No matter what, it will not be difficult to absorb the strength of the martial arts faction and unify the village."
Tsunade didn't expect that what he had struggled to obtain would be delivered by Danzo in this way.
If it wasn't for pretending to be sick, then the other party's body was really on the verge of dying, so he was in a hurry to arrange the funeral.
"Besides, that kid revealed one more thing."
Speaking of this, Lu Jiu hesitated and hesitated.
"What's up?"
"It's still about that organization. In the incident of the Uchiha clan's genocide, that organization also intervened."
"What did you say!?"
Tsunade stood up from the seat all of a sudden, and slapped the table with both hands, causing a loud noise. His eyes were oppressive, and he stared firmly at Lu Jiu's face.
"Well, that's the situation. At that time, Nebu joined forces with someone in that organization, and together with Itachi, the Uchiha insider, he succeeded in slaughtering the entire Uchiha clan overnight."
Lu Jiu sighed.
Another Uchiha clan extermination event.
From this point of view, when the Uchiha exterminated the clan, there were too many forces intervening behind.
"As for that member's name, I think Hokage-sama has also heard of it. That person called himself Uchiha Madara in front of Danzo."
"spot!?"
Compared with panic, Tsunade's face was more stunned.
Uchiha Madara, isn't that a ninja that has long been recognized as dead?
How can it still remain in the world?
"This is the portrait of the man who called himself 'Madara' at that time."
Lu Jiu took out a piece of white paper from his bosom, on which was drawn a picture of all the people.
A person with a mysterious aura all over his body, wearing a strange crow-like mask on his face, the only exposed left eye is a scarlet kaleidoscope Sharingan.
"Wait, the pattern on this eye..."
Tsunade's pupils shrank, and he immediately thought of something.
Uchiha Sasuke attacked Konoha that day and came to intercept his sharingan ninja. The right eye under his mask had this pattern shape, except for the eyes on the same side, the two eyes were exactly the same.
With that said, Tsunade also took out another portrait in the drawer for comparison.
The patterns of the kaleidoscope match perfectly.
"this…"
Tsunade was suddenly confused.
"According to the root investigation, it was found that this person who called himself 'Madara' was a counterfeit."
Lu Jiu continued.
"Counterfeit?"
"Yes, in order to find out the identity of this 'Madara', the Elder Danzo once dispatched root, checked various information materials, and finally found a kaleidoscope sharing eye model map of Uchiha Madara's lifetime, and found two Madara's The kaleidoscope's Sharingan pattern is completely inconsistent. Therefore, it is concluded that this 'Blade' is a counterfeit. As for its identity, the root is still under investigation. As for the writer who assisted Uchiha Sasuke that day, he obviously belongs to the country of ghosts. Wheel eye ninja..."
"How about it?"
"The roots guessed that the other party was probably Obito Uchiha who mysteriously disappeared during the Third Ninja World War. At the beginning, Nohara Rin stole Takikage Nanao. The elders sent people to sneak into Takiyin, found several parties involved, explored the memories in their brains, and finally restored part of the truth, pieced together the fragments of information, and formed a fairly complete clue."
"..."
Tsunade's face was cloudy.
"Then these kaleidoscope Sharingan..."
"Since this is not Madara's kaleidoscope, then it means that this counterfeit is using someone else's kaleidoscope. And the writing sharing eye of Ghost Country, who is suspected to be Uchiha Obito, has the same eyes as it. Maybe the kaleidoscope on the left is drained from him."
Of course, this is a guess.
Lu Jiu didn't know the specific situation.
It is also possible that the Kingdom of Ghosts snatched other people's Sharingan and installed it for their own people.
But no matter what, the Sharingan of these two people has an inseparable and close connection.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to investigate further.
"Danzo, an old thing, has done a lot of things with Konoha on his back."
Tsunade cursed.
"You continue to negotiate with Shikamaru. Things are a little tricky. I need to go to the Daming Mansion myself."
With three or two clicks, Tsunade gave the order.
"Yes. Then, the affairs of the village..."
"It's up to you and Nizuzu to decide. During my absence, if some things cannot be resolved by themselves, we will hold a shinin meeting to discuss them. I will come back as soon as possible before things get serious."
As he said that, Tsunade got up, put on a green coat with the word 'gambling' on it, and left the office quickly, acting swiftly and without sloppiness at all.

"The investigation progress of these villages in Konoha has slowed down recently."
In the central tower of Yuyin, Heijue reported to Xiaonan the current situation of the Rain Country.
"In other words, they will soon point the finger at Yuyin, right?"
Xiao Nan was not delighted by the news, on the contrary, he felt a chill in his heart.
The slowdown of the investigation does not mean that the villages like Konoha are going back home, but that they will focus on Yuyin, an uncultivated land.
For a while, Yun Yin, Sand Yin, Yan Yin, and Konoha all had ninjas planning to sneak in. Although they were successfully blocked, it also meant that the situation of Yu Yin was getting closer and closer to danger.
The current Land of Rain is like a powder keg, as long as the fuse is ignited, the bomb will explode in the Land of Rain.
And whether the fuse is ignited is not in the villages like Konoha, nor in Yuyin, but in the hands of the ghost country.
Therefore, even if these villages really stop at the last step, the Kingdom of Ghosts will not let them stop, but wants to completely ignite this fuse, triggering a head-on conflict between Yuyin and several big countries.
"Yes, Konoha's Hokage Tsunade seems to have set off for the Fire Nation Daimyo's residence. At that time, he will discuss with the Fire Nation Daimyo whether to continue to investigate the matter of Yu Yin. Most of the other countries will also participate."
Hei Jue said expressionlessly.
"There is not much time left for us to prepare, but Nagato can't be disturbed. Let's delay it for a few days now."
Facing the soldiers from villages like Konoha, Xiaonan was still very afraid.
The Land of Rain is now facing the same situation as the Land of Ghosts in the Fourth Ninja World War, but the difference is that the Land of Ghosts has strong soldiers and horses, and the quality of ninjas is extremely strong. They are not limited to high-end combat power, and have the ability to resist the enemy in the wild , and even took advantage of the intelligence advantage and the lack of cooperation between the villages to disintegrate the strength and strength of the coalition forces and counterattack back.
But Yuyin couldn't do that.
It means that this weakness will be exploited by neighboring powers.
"There is another thing. Recently, there have been some toads of unknown origin on the streets of Yuyin."
Hei Jue's eyes darkened.
"Toad?"
Xiao Nan's face was stunned, with a bit of hesitation and a bit of worry, and then it turned into calmness.
"As long as these toads don't approach the tower, don't worry about them."
"Understood, but you have to make up your mind as soon as Nagato-sama does. No matter how you look at it, the Sannin is not the same as us. The peace he expects is the peace that Nagato-sama wants. It's something completely different."
"I know this kind of thing, so you don't need to talk about it."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Nan left with a cold face.
Hei Jue shook his head self-consciously.
Women are always such sensual creatures who miss old love.
I don't know what I thought of, but there was a hint of reminiscence in Heijue's eyes.
"Xiao Hei, you have offended her badly. If she blows the pillow with Master Nagato, you will be out of luck."
At this time, Bai Jue, who had a flat mouth, chuckled.
"I think Xiaonan will be the first to kill you if she hears what you say."
Hei Jue said coldly, then dived into the floor and disappeared.
◎
On September 5th, it was cloudy and cloudy. At 3:00 pm, Tsunade arrived at the House of the Fire Country Daimyo. Before the Fire Country daimyo gave warm hospitality, Tsunade rejected the Fire Country because he had a meeting with important matters to come. Daimyo's kindness.
Later, in a quiet room, the daimyo and Tsunade of the Fire Nation, as well as several senior officials of the Fire Nation gathered here. In front of them, there were three electronic screens, and there were thick cables and huge electric screens beside them. box to connect and power it.
Soon, the four screens lit up, and each screen was divided into two halves from the middle, showing the sitting figures of the daimyos of the land of earth, land of thunder, and land of wind, and the other half was Ninja Village ruled by the three countries The three shadows are the third generation of Tukage Ohnoki, the fourth generation of Raikage Ai, and the fourth generation of Kazekage Rasa.
At the request of Tsunade, the top administrators and military leaders of the three great countries gathered here.
"Hokage, what is it that calls everyone to appear together? It's best to have a good reason."
The fourth generation of Raikage Ai spoke first. He was very dissatisfied with this abrupt meeting that interrupted his cultivation, so his attitude and tone gave people a rather bad feeling.
"Your Excellency Raikage, it's better to say a few words less, Your Excellency Hokage will not be aimless, so let's hold an urgent meeting."
It was Kazekage Rasa who spoke for Tsunade.
His appearance and spirit are very good. It seems that he should not have a bad time during this period of time.
In addition, he is middle-aged and still has energy, so he won't be like Tsuchikage Onogi, whose mental outlook is much worse, and he doesn't even have the leisure time to argue with Raikage.
Tsunade was not polite either, but went straight to the main topic, and asked the staff next to him to transfer the two portraits to the hands of Daimyo Youkage from various countries.
"This is…"
Luo Sha was thoughtful, looking at the mysterious person holding a kaleidoscope Sharingan in his right eye. Suddenly, he was a Sharingan ninja who disguised himself as a member of the organization and secretly kidnapped Gaara in the past.
The other person was the kaleidoscope Sharingan with the same pattern in the left eye, which made Luo Sha confused for a moment.
"I won't talk nonsense, Mr. Onogi, I would like to ask you, the person whose left eye is a kaleidoscope sharingan, do you have any impression of the kaleidoscope pattern?"
As a veteran of the ninja world, Onogi has experienced many experiences in his life. He is a ninja who has survived before the era of one country and one village.
Compared with her teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen, she is much older, and now she is nearly eighty years old.
Onoki on the screen showed a thoughtful look, then shook his head.
"No, I've never seen a kaleidoscope like this before. Hokage, what do you mean by that?"
"According to the reliable information collected by Konoha, this person once called himself 'Uchiha Madara' and was a member of that organization."
"What!?"
As soon as Tsunade's words came out, everyone was shocked.
Especially Onogi, when he heard this name, his pupils shrank suddenly, as if recalling something terrible.
Perhaps Madara's name has long since become a legend.
But the ninjas who have actually met him and fought with him will be overwhelmed by his terrifying strength and fall into infinite panic.
This Dokage, and his teacher, the second generation Dokage Mure, were among the victims who were ravaged by Madara.
"Impossible! Uchiha Madara has long been killed by Lord Hashirama in the Valley of the End. This is a fact that the world has long recognized. Moreover, this style of kaleidoscope is completely different from Madara's!"
Onoki said firmly.
Madara's kaleidoscope, he will never forget it in his life.
It was his first time, a terrible ninja who was ravaged and couldn't fight back.
"It seems that this guy is probably a counterfeit."
Tsunade couldn't help but also heaved a sigh of relief, after Onoki's personal verification, the authenticity of this person being Madara was ruled out.
If the other party is really spotted, it is really very bad news.
There is no second ninja **** in the world to stop the opponent.
"However, regardless of whether this person is Madara or not, it means that this organization does have the mysterious power to control tailed beasts. Now our eyes are all focused on the Land of Rain, so in addition to verifying the identity of this 'Madara' to Mr. , and the second is to discuss with you whether to investigate further.”
There are fewer and fewer places that can be searched in the Kingdom of Rain, and the remaining Yuyin has become the most eye-catching one.
At this time, the rather bloated daimyo of the country of the wind asked: "May I ask Hokage, is there really a problem with Yuyin?"
Tsunade shook his head: "Because I'm not sure, I need to ask everyone for instructions whether to continue the investigation. If we don't investigate, then after the search is completed, we can evacuate people from the country of rain, there is no need to waste time .”
"What is there to discuss? Our four villages directly sent people in to search. Does Yuyin dare to stop us?"
It was the Fourth Raikage who spoke, and his temper was as fiery as the muscles bulging all over his body.
"Having said that, this obviously exceeds the upper limit of the investigation, and it may trigger a war with Yuyin."
When Luo Sha said this, he frowned, as if he hesitated.
If it was the past, he might agree without hesitation.
But now the kingdom of ghosts is putting a lot of pressure on the kingdom of wind, and it is really unwilling to continue to provoke right and wrong at this time.
Small countries with ninja villages and small countries without ninja villages have completely different policies.
"Kazekage, are you scared out of your wits by the people from the Ghost Kingdom?"
Fourth Raikage scolded angrily, he knew what Fukage Luosha was thinking.
"Lei Ying, I have to think about the village as a whole. In addition, whether the ghost country is strong or not, I think Yun Yin's understanding of this aspect is no worse than ours."
Not to be outdone, Luo Sha replied.
Fourth Raikage snorted and stopped talking.
The daimyo of the Land of Land became a peacemaker, and began to smile: "In this case~www.novelbuddy.com~, then each of you should hold a meeting internally to discuss how to deal with it, and then decide on the policy direction. Although the tail Beasts are indeed very important, but you can't frame others for nothing."
"Huh, after all, the members of that organization are basically defected ninjas from your villages. I suspect that their ability to become bigger has a lot to do with your inaction. No matter what, we, Yunyin, will definitely continue Investigate thoroughly!"
Fourth Raikage gave these strong words and left the table directly.
Seeing this, the daimyo of Lei Zhiguo had no choice but to say sorry and left the table.
"What a short-tempered young man." Onoki shook his head and said, "Then, the old man will also leave, and I will have a serious discussion with Daimyo about what to do next."
Saying that, the daimyo and shadows of Land of Earth and Land of Wind left one after another, and the light on the screen went out.
(PS: Speaking of which, in the original book, Gokage didn’t recognize Obito as Madara’s counterfeit, which is probably related to Obito’s use of Kamuy with the Sangouyu Shulungan before revealing his identity…)
(end of this chapter)
