Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 218: Orochimaru, did you leak the first generation cells?

"Sage Mode? What is this?"

Obito was filled with doubts.

but.

he knows.

Although he could listen in, he did not have the right to ask questions because Uchiha Madara was not a patient person.

After a moment's silence.

Madara stopped laughing and said, "So, Scorpion of the Red Sand is dead?"

"Yes, there is no chance of him surviving. I wanted to take this opportunity to solve a small problem, but I didn't expect..."

Black Zetsu answered.

Then he couldn't help but feel regretful.

"Although this man deserved to die, his research was indeed very useful. He even made himself into a puppet, and created a small puppet inside his human body..."

Scorpion's puppet thinking is indeed very brilliant, and it even changed Black Zetsu's view on puppetry.

It is a pity.

Just when he had a little improvement, his creator, Scorpion, had died by self-explosion, and the possibility of his resurrection was not very high.

Even if the corpse is still there, it has most likely been collected and sealed by Ryomine Kyouhiko.

That guy is so steady!
"It's a good idea indeed. Unfortunately, puppetry has an upper limit that is difficult to break through, and that is - he himself is not strong enough!"

Uchiha Madara said calmly, "Human power is endless. Replacing a living body with a dead puppet is nothing but putting the cart before the horse."

“Not everyone has the wisdom you and I have.”

Black Jue Dao.

A faint smile appeared on Madara's face, and then he looked at Uchiha Obito.

"You should learn from Ryomine Kyouhiko. Although he is just an ordinary man, his wisdom is more powerful than Senju Tobirama."

"Practice does not rely on the brain. Even if your strength reaches a very high level, you may still be defeated by someone inferior to you!"

"Unless you can be like me!"

Uchiha Madara's eyes were indifferent.

Obito's face showed curiosity, "Like you?"

"Get stronger eyes. The Mangekyō Sharingan will allow you to defeat most ninjas. Above it, there's the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and there's... an even more powerful eye!"

Uchiha Madara replied calmly, "The pursuit of eternal peace requires more sacrifice than you can imagine!"

"Yes, I will work tirelessly!"

When Uchiha Obito heard the words "eternal peace", he immediately became motivated as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Although, he really couldn't be as wise as Jingyan!
Uchiha Madara glanced at him.

Although they had not been together for a long time, he still had a good understanding of Obito.

Brains are innate, and Obito is not the type to study or use his brain. He said this just in the hope that the other party could be a little more motivated.

Even a little more cleverness is good——

There is a lot of room for development for Obito, and just a little bit of cleverness will be a huge improvement.

"The other one..."

Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Madara.

Although Madara is not as strong as he was in the past, he still has some strength, and he can also control other people.

such as--

Tangerine Yagura.

Uchiha Madara thought for a moment and said, "Okay, now we are halfway exposed to them anyway, there is no point in hiding it."

"Recruit anyone who wants to come over. While we are still in control of the Hidden Mist Village, we can build up our own forces."

“We should also prepare for the future!”

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and rested.

Black Zetsu hesitated for a moment and asked again: "I think Hanzo might be someone we can win over."

"Hanzo?"

After hearing this, Ban lost interest and said, "Just watch it for yourself."

In his eyes, the title of "demigod" of Salamander Hanzo is not worth mentioning and is not even worthy of special attention.

……

The border of the bird country.

Yahiko looked at Jingyan hopefully and said, "How about you come sit over there with me? I have a lot of questions I want to ask you!"

Even though Kyouhiko was much younger than him, Yahiko didn't feel ashamed at all.

The other party is really smart!

and.

Compared to him, Jingyan now has more experience in managing the village. Even the teacher asks Jingyan for his opinion on many issues. It is not shameful to ask for advice from him.

"There will be a chance in the future."

Jingyan shook his head.

but.

Yahiko's attendance this time is already a subtle statement.

At this moment, Kakashi, Hyuga Hizashi and the others were far away and had not caught up, so it was just him and Yahiko who were here and could talk freely.

He thought about it and looked towards the Bird Kingdom in the distance.

"Yahiko, I can probably guess what you're thinking. I want to ask you a question."

"what?"

Yahiko was a little confused.

"What kind of peace do you want? To make the people of Rain Country live better and Rain Country become a better country, or do you want Rain Country to become a country like the Five Great Nations?"

Jingyan asked back.

Yahiko was stunned.

Then he looked back toward the Rain Kingdom.

This country is full of storms...

His hometown.

What do you want it to become?

Yahiko was confused.

He was silent for a long time, unable to answer Jingyan's question.

"Different directions, different strategies, and we need to maintain a different relationship with Konoha. To be honest, there is even the possibility of us becoming enemies in the future."

Jingyan was very calm.

His goal is to unify the ninja world. If Yahiko wants to turn the Rain Country into a great country, or still thinks about the ridiculous peace that Jiraiya had before.

Then, we can only be enemies!
Yahiko sighed.

"Before, my idea was to achieve peace between big and small countries through dialogue and mutual understanding, but later, after you reminded me, I found that I couldn't do it."

Big countries oppress small countries, just like wild animals hunting the weak, which is very much like the laws of nature.

As a weak country, there is very little we can do.

and……

"In fact, in the Land of Birds, it is very difficult for us to even survive and continue, let alone become stronger or make our village, the Hidden Rain Village, the sixth largest village."

Yahiko smiled bitterly.

and so.

He could understand what Hanzo said.

It’s so difficult for the small ninja village to become stronger!

Jingyan nodded.

"Yes, both peace and becoming stronger against the odds are difficult. In today's age, it is definitely not something that can be solved in one generation. The current Konoha and I are just lucky ones."

Yahiko didn't answer.

He did not try to persuade him to stay, or ask Jingyan to go to their village to exchange ideas or discuss other follow-up cooperation.

Just as Jingyan said.

If you don't understand what you want, no matter how much you talk, it's all in vain.

Own……

What kind of rain country do we want?

For a moment, Yahiko was confused, and as he watched Kyohiko leave, he felt heavy and complicated.

Jingyan is always so smart and calm, and can see the most critical issues. In comparison, I really don’t have the talent to be a leader.

“How great would it be if I had such a talent?”

Yahiko thought enviously.

Only after Jingyan and the others had completely disappeared did he instantly rush to the village.

……

Konoha, Hokage Building.

Tsunade paced back and forth, looking annoyed.

"Lady Tsunade, please stop walking around. You're making me dizzy."

Shizune said silently.

Tsunade sighed in annoyance.

"Jingyan hasn't replied yet. How can I not be worried? This guy is really something. There has been no news for so many days. It shouldn't take long for Fei Lei Shen to send a letter back, right?"

"Tsunade-sama, Kyouhiko-kun has only been gone for four days, which is the normal mission time. If it weren't for the Flying Thunder Formation Technique, they might have only just arrived at the location now!"

Jingyin was even more speechless.

Tsunade doesn't care much when other people go out, including Jiraiya and Orochimaru, but when Kyohiko leaves the village, especially when he performs some special tasks, Tsunade's worry is written all over her face.

Do you want it to be so obvious?
She sighed softly, "Kyohiko-kun is so powerful, there's no way he'll be in trouble!"

"But the opponent might be Madara..."

Tsunade frowned and sighed. Uchiha Madara.

Even if the opponent may not be the real Madara, since he has the ability to control the Kōjutsu Jikō, he is definitely not weaker even if it is not his true form.

Even if Jingyan...

She still couldn't help but worry.

Shizune was speechless.

Tsunade's attitude is just like that of an old nanny waiting for her child to go out.

She lowered her head silently and corrected the documents.

Just now.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! You little brat, you finally remembered to send me a letter."

Tsunade immediately took the letter from the table beside her.

A piece of bamboo to be precise.

This is the engraving material that Jingyan is more familiar with. It can be directly generated using Wood Release, and it is also very convenient for engraving.

It's written on it.

"Safety."

"The Red Sand Scorpion has been killed, most of the puppets have been brought back, and there are additional gains. We will discuss the details in person."

Not many words, but very important.

Tsunade was overjoyed after reading it.

For Konoha, the most important thing is to kill Scorpion of the Red Sand and eliminate the biggest threat. Secondly, to obtain his puppet and provide a reference for Konoha's puppet prostheses.

According to Jingyan's description, it is clear that the main goals have been achieved.

As for the extra gains, they are just extra.

however.

Two days later, Jingyan returned to Konoha with his things.

In the training ground.

"What's the harvest? Why are you making such a big fuss and calling us all here?"

There was a hint of smile on Orochimaru's lips.

Of course he heard from the Anbu about Jingyan's return. After all, during this period of time, in addition to Gekkou Shusaku, he helped to deal with many things.

The news from the Anbu naturally reached his ears.

He didn't have much expectation for what Jing Yan brought back, but...

Jingyan couldn't help but keep it a secret.

"Definitely something you'd be interested in."

Jing Yan chuckled, "Everyone, stand aside and don't gather around me."

Without his reminder, Kakashi had already stood far away -

He was the one who knew best how much they had gained at that time.

Tsunade still thought Kyohiko was making a fuss out of nothing.

How many things are like this?

She just wanted to speak.

next moment,
Then, Jingyan took out the sealing scroll and formed seals with his hands.

In an instant, the spell on the sealed scroll unfolded.

follow closely……

Bang!
It was like the sound of the earth cracking and the mountain collapsing.

The earth rumbled.

Immediately, huge pieces of amber rolled out from the seal and piled up into a mountain on the training ground.

Tsunade blinked, unable to hide the surprise on her face.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and licked his lips unconsciously.

Did Jingyan take all of Scorpion's collection?
This is really...

Nothing!
At the moment of release, Jingyan had already used the technique of teleportation to Kakashi's side.

"There are puppets everywhere here, but there are also some special things. We need to find where they are..."

"Should we call someone over to clean it up?"

Tsunade only then reacted.

This is too much!
More than a hundred, right?

One can imagine how many people Scorpion of the Red Sand killed in order to create these puppets.

crazy!

No wonder even Luo Sha couldn't help but contact them to deal with the Red Sand Scorpion.

Just keep killing...

The reputation of the Sand Village is about to be ruined.

"Kyohiko, what is this special item you're talking about? In this situation, I can help a little."

Orochimaru's eyes were fanatical.

If it was just ordinary stuff, he definitely wouldn't care, let alone help find it.

but……

A human puppet. Moreover, the thing that Jingyan tempted him with was definitely not a human puppet.

And more importantly!

"An amber that seals half of the body, and another piece that seals one of the bodies of the Red Sand Scorpion."

"Ok?"

Tsunade didn't quite understand, or rather...

I didn't react for a while.

"What do you mean?"

"Scorpion made himself into a human puppet. The outside is a big puppet, and inside there is a small puppet with real flesh and blood. The real body is the one inside..."

Jingyan briefly explained the situation.

Orochimaru's eyes were burning. After listening to this, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Scorpion of the Red Sand is indeed a genius, but unfortunately..."

"There is often only a fine line between genius and madness. Walk slowly so that everyone can see that you are a genius. Walk too fast and become completely isolated from ordinary people, then you are a madman."

Jingyan added.

Orochimaru was silent for a while.

In a sense, he was also a "madman" in Kyōhiko's words, but he was forcibly restrained by Tsunade and Kyōhiko, so he did not completely become a person like Sasori.

Then, without saying anything, he bit his finger and summoned a bunch of snakes.

Each one is not big.

The snakes burrowed into the amber pile, looking for the special amber that Jingyan mentioned.

Ten seconds later, Orochimaru separated the pile of stones and took out a piece from the bottom.

This is the body puppet of Scorpion of the Red Sand.

And half of the body...

Orochimaru had a premonition.

That thing is what Jingyan calls the "highlight".

He waited a minute.

at last.

"found it!"

Orochimaru continued to flip.

After a few seconds, he stopped and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Tsunade saw his expression and immediately came over.

"what?"

"This is……"

Orochimaru couldn't hide his shock and couldn't calm down for a long time.

A special kind of flesh and blood!
As the person in Konoha who knew Hashirama's cells best, he instantly sensed that the cells in this half of the body had an extremely similar aura to Hashirama's cells!
"Where did you get it?"

"Torn from a hermaphrodite with a pitcher plant on his head."

Jingyan answered.

Tsunade looked at Kakashi with a confused expression.

Kakashi nodded: "There is indeed such a person. He can hide in the soil in an instant, and the black and white on his body seem to be able to split. If Jingyan hadn't used the Amber Technique, this half of his body might not have been left."

"Division, black and white..."

Orochimaru took a deep breath, frowned and said, "That's not right!"

"what happened?"

Tsunade found it strange that Orochimaru seemed particularly excited...

"Is there something wrong with it?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there is a certain smell of primary-generation cells inside. In other words, the other party may have been implanted with primary-generation cells, and they have been perfectly integrated without any further mutations. But the black part..."

Orochimaru frowned.

Is there a substance in the world that can suppress Hashirama's cells?

What is that mutation?
"First-generation cells?"

Tsunade moved closer in astonishment, and then put her palm close to this special piece of amber, sensing the state of the flesh and blood inside through chakra.

Then, she discovered that this piece of flesh and blood still retained relatively strong activity, and its aura was indeed very close to that of the primary cells.

This?
She looked towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru stood up and said, "It has nothing to do with me. Even if it was leaked, it must have been Danzo... or it was not leaked in our time at all."

"The age of Madara."
