Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

At the border of the Land of Rain, when a group of Rain Ninjas saw the traces of destruction caused by the various sizes of Ninjutsu, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Imagine.

A terrible battle took place here!

"What level of ninja fighting is this?"

Everyone was terrified, but also thankful—

Fortunately, I am late!
If they had come earlier, they might all have died here.

In such a horrific battle, even if the opponent did not want to kill them, a casual ninjutsu could take their lives.

They turned around and saw another battlefield.

“It seems that there are only four people who took action.”

They observed the traces at the scene.

But soon, someone brought up the fact that “there is one more”.

Jingyan did not deal with any traces at the scene, so they could see clearly that this was exactly what Jingyan left on purpose.

He doesn't need to hide his ninjutsu traces and information.

because……

From the beginning to the end, except for the Hundred Healings Technique and Sage Mode which left no trace, the rest he used were just more common techniques.

The most bizarre thing is just the wooden man technique.

He didn't even use thousands of hands!
All of this needs to be conveyed by these ninjas to Hanzo, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village.

After a while, Hanzo arrived at the scene in an instant.

Seeing the traces at the scene, he was silent for a long time.

As the leader of the ninjas in the Hidden Rain Village, he could see traces of ninjutsu in this area, and naturally he could also connect some of the intelligence he had obtained.

Kakuzu, Black Hoe and Raiga.

It was rumored that these two people came to the Kingdom of Rivers during this period, but unexpectedly they fought with the others here.

"Kakuzu..."

Hanzo narrowed his eyes.

He didn't think anyone could kill Kakuzu, but what was strange was that from the traces at the scene, Kakuzu had been trying to get close to the water.

This guy wants to escape from the water?

Who has such ability?
He turned around and soon saw a remaining trace.

A small piece of resin spilled from a pine tree.

"amber."

Hanzo was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood its origin.

Yoshimine Kyohiko!

This ninjutsu derived from Wood Release is currently only mastered by Ryomine Kyohiko.

"It turned out to be him."

Hanzo was shocked. He looked around and saw that a piece of land had been moved away. He knew what was going on.

There is a high probability that Kakuzu has met with a disaster!
"Master, leader..."

"Just clean up the traces and pretend you didn't see them."

Hanzo answered.

Then he took another look at another battlefield.

The battlefield here is much more messy.

and.

The scene had obviously been processed in some way, with some key parts cleverly covered up and only a few remaining.

but.

If Konoha's Kyouhiko and Minato attacked at the same time, it would not take so long to deal with Kuroki Raiga.

"What are you planning?"

Hanzo was secretly confused.

Jing Yan left the information here to show his strength, which he had already felt.

The opponent was indeed very powerful, and he actually forced Jiaodu, who had mastered the Earth's Grievance, to flee in a panic.

By analogy, Hanzo believes that even with the "poison" and powerful swordsmanship, he would still have a narrow escape from death if facing Kyohiko.

Without him.

Jingyan's speed, ninjutsu and destructive power are all things he doesn't have. If he is killed quickly in a short period of time...

Hanzo's advantages could not be brought into play at all.

But why would Konoha help Takigakure arrest Kakuzu when everything was fine?
Simply cut out spotted wings?

Or does Konoha need the Land of Taki to help it achieve some goal?
As the leader of a village, Hanzo is not stupid.

This person, Ryomine Kyouhiko...

He did not hesitate to speculate with the greatest malice.

Jingyan must have other plans!

The country of Taki.

"Handle this properly, and don't disclose what's happening here to anyone."

"Yes!"

They responded.

Hanzo left instantly and returned to the office. Looking at the map, he scanned it and soon understood.

The Land of Grass is sandwiched between the Land of Water Taki and the Land of Rain.

The Land of Grass had previously been severely punished by Konoha for breaking its alliance, and the current Wuwei himself was from a pro-Konoha faction.

and so.

The Land of Grass is also on good terms with Konoha.

In this way, from the Land of Water Taki to the Land of Rain and even the Land of Wind, they are all now Konoha's allies.

If Konoha can guarantee that its allies will not betray it, then this force will definitely be more powerful than the remaining three-nation alliance!
The only problem is -

On the other side, there is Uchiha Madara lurking in the darkness.

"Konoha is already actively preparing for war, and Konoha is the only dominant force here, 70% of the strength comes from Konoha..."

In contrast, the alliance between the Earth Kingdom, the Thunder Kingdom, and the Water Kingdom seems very divided.

Hanzo scanned the map and could vaguely see Konoha's victory!
Konoha!

He felt heavy-hearted: "Ryofeng Jingyan's move..."

Hanzo took a deep breath and thought no more.

Yuyin has formed an alliance with Konoha, and as long as Konoha wins, it will definitely get to eat meat and drink soup in the end.

If we could take a big bite out of the Land of Earth, we could merge it with the Bird Village created by Yahiko, Konan and the others.

Then, the Hidden Rain Village may not be able to become the sixth largest ninja village!
Hanzo was filled with lofty ambitions.

After his failure in previous years, he had gradually given up his inner ambitions, but now, feeling that Konoha had a great chance of winning, he had some new ideas.

cooperate!

As for the problem of Konoha becoming too powerful in the future.

That's fine. When the time comes, we can join forces with the Sand Village and the other three ninja villages, and the five of them together will be able to compete with Konoha.

If we surrender over there now, we won't be taken seriously at all, and even the Hidden Rain Village will be divided up.

After Hanzo figured it all out, a bright smile appeared on his face.

Must cooperate!

……

"Why don't you erase the traces?"

"Hanzo is very capable, and he had ambitions and ideas in his early years. Now both us and Madara need him. An alliance is mutually beneficial, but at the same time we must let the other party know that I have the ability to punish those who betray the alliance."

The covenant is a piece of waste paper.

However, if there is the power to punish those who betray the alliance, it will be completely different.

Ye Cang was silent for a few seconds, but he had to admit that Jingyan was right.

After all, this world is ruled by the strong!
There is a huge difference between having the ability or not.

"Every country has its own interests, but in fact, cooperation is the best way to achieve complementary interests..."

Jingyan expressed his own opinion.

The Land of Rain and the northern part of the Land of Wind are the best examples!

On one hand, it rains every day, but on the other hand, there is so little water that the desert is everywhere.

The Fire Nation has fertile soil and abundant goods, and can exchange what it has with the two countries.

In addition, Konoha has the ability to solve their security concerns and geographical problems.

An alliance among the three parties will do more good than harm.

but.

Jingyan naturally didn't know that Hanzo had so much inner drama and he spent a lot of time thinking about just one move.

In fact, he stayed at the scene and only erased traces related to Kakashi just to warn Hanzo, nothing more.

What he said to Ye Cang actually seemed to be a conspiracy.

Jingyan has special ideas for Ye Cang.

Ye Cang has a high status in the Sand Village.

When he wanted to support Ye Cang to be the Kazekage, it was not because he was acting on a whim to disgust the Sand Village, but because the other party really had the ability to do so.

But compared to Rasa, she is definitely slightly inferior, and this is exactly what Konoha needs.

just.

Luo Sha was even more cruel, and sent her directly to the Hidden Mist Village, so Jing Yan had to rescue her. Now Ye Cang has feelings for the Hidden Sand Village, but has no feelings for Luo Sha as a fellow villager, and his attitude is quite complicated.

Asking the other party to go to Konoha with you is to let the other party further feel the benefits of the "Will of Fire".

Once the thoughts are unified, territories and villages will not be a problem.

in contrast.

If thoughts and consciousness cannot be unified, even if the ninja world is barely unified it will eventually quickly fall apart.

……

In Konoha, there is a crowd of people.

"Boss, what's going on today? Why are there so many people?"

"At first, the guardian nin came here for training, the nobles came to play, and the caravans followed to form a gathering. Later, at the suggestion of the Hokage, the tradition was gradually preserved."

A stall owner answered.

Yahiko nodded in understanding.

So that’s it!
He walked around inside and found that there was really something for everyone. It was very convenient. There were even products from the Water Kingdom.

If a market like this could be formed in the north of the River Country...

Yahiko secretly pondered in his heart how to build such a place in the north of the River Kingdom to facilitate and strengthen the Rain Kingdom.

And this moment.

The three people who returned to Konoha directly through the Flying Thunder Array, after dressing up, also went to the outskirts to patrol.

This was Ye Cang's first time in Konoha, so he was very excited and wanted to see everything.

Also.

According to Kyouhiko, Maki and Temari are currently shopping here with Kushina.

She wanted to see Maki, even if it was just from a distance.

After leaving the Sand Village, Ye Cang went anyway even though she knew the mission was extremely dangerous, and she did not regret it afterwards.

The only person she felt sorry for was Maki, who was very close to her.

Ye Cang understands.

After I left, given the situation in the Sand Village, it would be difficult for anyone to choose Maki as a subordinate unless he performed extremely well.

Natural Selection.

It is difficult for young birds separated from their parents to be adopted in the wild.

She can only fend for herself.

The fact that Maki was sent to Konoha indirectly reflects the problem that no one was willing to teach her.

Ye Cang was worried about his students and felt extremely anxious.

Jingyan walked to a tree and put his hand on the trunk. After a moment, he smiled and said, "I found someone!"

Found it?
Ye Cang was shocked.

Although she was willing to help Kyouhiko, it was more for the Sand Village to fight against Uchiha Madara, rather than to truly help Konoha.

and so.

After a long time, she rarely saw Jingyan take action.

And now.

Whether he was dealing with Kakuzu or easily using trees to sense the location of Shinki, the strength and means displayed by Kyouhiko were all terrifying.

Perhaps only Hashirama Senju of that time can be compared with Kyohiko of today.

She sighed inwardly and used the art of transformation to quietly blend into the crowd around her.

Following all the way, we arrived in front of a shop. Maki was wearing beautiful clothes, and next to him were Kushina and Temari.

But obviously.

She was very reserved, her eyes always looking around, full of vigilance.

Ye Cang couldn't help but look dim.

Maki is only ten years old this year, but he already has the vigilance of a Genin, and...

In previous years, the education in their Sand Village was to teach everyone who the enemies were and how to deal with them.

As a ninja from the Sand Village, in Konoha, there are enemies everywhere.
She could imagine the distress that Maki was facing now.

"Hey!"

"You don't want to go up and talk to me?"

Jingyan asked in a low voice.

Ye Cang shook his head with a complicated look: "No, I am not suitable to appear..."

"In fact, you have already revealed yourself to Luosha. I think many of the Sand Village's higher-ups know that you are still alive."

Jingyan advised till here, but didn't force it.

Ye Cang stopped and watched for a long time.

Suddenly, the girl in black turned her head and looked over here.

The two looked at each other and were both stunned.

It was only half a second before Ye Cang calmly looked away, but his voice was tense.

"Let's go!"

She turned around and walked somewhere else.

Jingyan followed suit.

Maki quickly took a step forward: "Wait..."

She tried to look for him again, but there were so many people that she couldn't see anyone.
After all, those two people looked very ordinary.

"what happened?"

Temari turned her head and looked over.

Maki is eight years older than her, has a calm personality, and like her, has a bad origin and background, so Temari is willing to interact with her.

After spending a few days together, she got to know Maki quite well.

The other party is very calm and usually wouldn't lose his composure like that. He must have encountered something.

Maki hesitated to speak.

She looked at the man and felt that she saw her teacher, but the teacher was clearly dead.

Maybe I saw it wrong...

Thinking of this, she felt sad and shook her head gently.

"Nothing, he just saw people from the village coming, and he ran away quickly."

"..."

Temari didn't ask further questions.

but.

She is not a fool, so how could she really believe what Maki said?

Village people?
The people in the village were being kept under a tight watch by Maki for the time being, and except for Maki who was with her, the others would not go out at all, for fear of offending Konoha's taboos.

But in fact, Konoha has no taboos against them at all.

As long as they don't go to important areas and don't wear forehead protectors, the people of Konoha are very kind and friendly and very welcoming to them.

and so.

It definitely wasn’t the people from the village who came with Maki.

Temari didn't expose it, but took the snack from the boss, handed one to Maki, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the park in front and sit and eat."

"it is good."

Maki nodded and followed her steps.

dark place.

"Want to follow?"

"no need."

Ye Cang shook his head with a complicated expression.

She didn't expect that Maki could actually pick up on her observation and even somewhat recognized her.

"A person's appearance and height can be concealed, but the eyes are the only thing that is difficult to conceal because they are a reflection of the soul."

Jing Yan said calmly.

Ye Cang nodded silently.

She knew that Jingyan was right, she couldn't control her emotions, so she was recognized by the other party.

just.

Maki doesn't know that he is still alive, so he doesn't think in that direction.

She sighed and said, "I won't go shopping anymore. You should be busy too, right? I'll go back to the Anbu."

At this point, she couldn't help but smile.

"Please give me a room."

The room she was talking about was naturally not the "dormitory" of the Anbu, because the Anbu did not have dormitories, only cells.

Jingyan shook his head slightly.

"unnecessary."

"Really? I think it would be better for you to ask for instructions."

Ye Cang quipped.

Kyohiko chuckled.

"Since I asked you to come to Konoha, I won't have any doubts. If you have no place to live, my family can rent you a room temporarily."

"This...Okay!" (End of this chapter)
