Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

It sounds ridiculous, but it is the most genuine desire in the hearts of these poor people who were trained and indoctrinated by Shimura Danzo since childhood.

Qingshui watched Yakushi Nonou's retreating figure and chuckled, saying, "A smart person."

From answering Aoshui's question with her name to being the first to raise her hand and make a request, Yakushi Nonou cleverly used her status as a Root member to complement Aoshui's authority and rhetoric, helping Aoshui break down the defenses of the others.

"As expected of Root, they truly produce a wealth of talent, Tobirama..."

While talking to Tobirama, Aokiji adopted an excited tone: "Look at these ninja's files!"

Tobirama Senju snorted, "Kid, don't get too cocky. Root missions aren't easy..."

However, Tobirama Senju was quite pleased with himself. When Aoshui unleashed his chakra and eye power, the profound sense of oppression made him feel a little uneasy, and he even had a hallucination of facing Madara Uchiha.

But so what?

In front of him, Qing Shui was just a brat who only knew how to show off!

Qingshui ignored Tobirama and picked up a document, muttering, "Yamaka Fu is skilled in the Mind Transfer Puppet Seal Technique. He attacks enemies through puppets that are targeted by the spell. Once the puppet is attacked by an enemy, it will seal the enemy's mental power, allowing the caster to possess the puppet."

"What a wonderful spell..."

Tobirama Senju frowned: "Seisui, this technique can only control the enemy temporarily and has no killing power. At most, it can cause chaos on the battlefield. Don't overestimate this technique."

"No, Tobirama, this is an even better technique than your Edo Tensei self-destruction!"

A light shone in Qing Shui's eyes, seemingly merging into the darkness of the roots:

"Simply seal the explosive tags inside the puppet, and when the enemy is possessed, pretend to be injured and call for backup. Then you can take down multiple enemies by self-destructing!"

"This move can cause panic among the enemy. After just a few times, who would dare to rescue the wounded?"

"When a crack appears in trust, morale will plummet!"

"Compared to the Impure World Reincarnation and the Mutual Explosion Tags, this technique is more widespread and more economical and practical."

Qingshui's thoughts wandered: "Perhaps, we could capture some prisoners, imprint the Four Symbols Sealing Technique on them, and then manipulate them back to the enemy camp. What do you think?"

Tobirama Senju fell silent. While Aozumi's line of thinking wasn't flawed, it sounded rather extreme…

Could it really be that there's a problem with the feng shui of this root area?

"And this poison pot technique is even more formidable!"

Qing Shui sighed sincerely, "Gather the corpses together and scatter poisonous insects among them, activate the barrier to make the insects multiply rapidly, cause the dead cells to produce poisonous gas, and use the explosion to spread the poisonous gas to attack all creatures that come into contact with the poisonous fog..."

"The biggest problem with this move is that the explosion radius is still limited and it cannot be moved. Furthermore, the poisonous fog is restricted by wind-style ninjutsu and may be blown away before it enters the rapid infection phase, which may even affect our own side."

Tobirama Senju nodded silently.

Fortunately, Qing Shui still had some sense...

"However, my medical ninjutsu is not afraid of this poisonous insect, and my sealing techniques should be able to move the poisonous insect barrier. If I secretly inscribe the Flying Thunder God seal on the enemy and launch a surprise attack in the dead of night, I can use this poisonous insect barrier to teleport into the enemy's formation and detonate it..."

Tobirama Senju took a deep breath. This child, after all, has become like this!

Tobirama Senju interrupted Aomine's plan and said gravely:

"Qingshui, you're going to extremes. If you do this, Konoha will become mortal enemies with the other hidden villages. Don't do this unless absolutely necessary, or you'll regret it..."

With a wave of his hand, Qingshui said in a deep voice, "Tobirama, I am the leader of Root!"

"If there is darkness, then let me bear it. This is the duty of the Root of Konoha!"

Tobirama Senju covered his face. At this moment, he felt that Aoshui's way of thinking was too much like his own.

But Qing Shui's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he muttered to himself:

"The Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique, the Poison Pot Technique, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Talisman Technique..."

Tobirama Senju hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but it seemed he was the one who invented all these ninjutsu…

But deep down, he also felt a faint sense of anticipation.

What kind of expression would the enemy have when his forbidden techniques appeared on the battlefield without restriction?

At that time, he was still limited by the limitations imposed by Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki...

But no one could stop Qing Shui.

Tobirama Senju coughed lightly: "Seisui, I have an idea, listen to it..."

Tobirama Senju caught up with Aoshui's pace!

Second update! Goodnight everyone!

Another day of 10,000...

Chapter 122 Konoha's Informant to the Ninja World of Their Intense Taunts (Qingshui Version)

）

The Land of Bears, the Gold Exchange.

Kakuzu walked along, deep in thought, carrying a box full of silver notes and a stack of newly purchased intelligence in his pocket.

"The situation in the ninja world has indeed become very turbulent since Mito Uzumaki's death..."

"Sunagakure's dire economy, Kumogakure's unwavering ambition, Iwagakure's undisguised arms race, Kirigakure's internal purges, and Amegakure's Hanzo's apparent disloyalty—with these intense internal and external conflicts accumulating, Konoha, immersed in its comfort and abundance, will be the first to be targeted..."

Kakuzu, a man with extensive experience navigating the black market, has already sensed the approach of war from various intelligence reports.

The entire ninja world is like a powder keg. Whether it's the hatred of defeat, internal collapse, or external ambition, the powerful hidden villages are all waiting for an opportunity to start a battlefield and reshape the landscape of the ninja world.

After agreeing to work for Qingshui, Kakuzu intended to work diligently, but the problem was that his boss never contacted him proactively, let alone assigned him any work.

This made Kakuzu very uncomfortable, so he could only voluntarily kill some wandering ninjas to earn money and collect some intelligence for Aoshui, in order to show that he had not broken his promise and was doing things seriously.

But strangely enough, the more immersing Kakuzu was in working for Aoshui, the more fulfilled he felt inside.

After betraying Takigakure, Kakuzu's pursuit of money became pathological. For a ninja who no longer had a home, the stable employment relationships in the exchange and black market, as well as the universal exchange function of money, gave him a sense of belonging to still be alive, filling the emptiness in his heart.

Betrayal of people's hearts is what Kakuzu least wants to face, and it is also the shortcoming he is trying his best to make up for.

And what Qing Shui said after defeating him—

"If you believe there is still truth in this ninja world, then you should keep your word..."

"Even if I regret it, I don't mind having another enemy like you, but I've come to understand the falseness of the ninja world, which is worth it for me."

It is deeply rooted in Kakuzu's heart.

Qingshui was clearly a good boss. It was as if he had forgotten about him as a worker, and seemed to have a blind trust in him. He did not ask for money, nor did he ask him to do any outrageous tasks. He mainly let him run wild.

To Kakuzu's delight, Aozumi would gladly accept his intelligence and silver notes, and would also write back to encourage him.

This shows that Qingshui spared his life not out of pity like Senju Hashirama, but because he needed his value.

Kakuzu sometimes wondered if Aokiji, like him, harbored doubts about the authenticity of the bonds and promises in the ninja world. That's why he made the bet with him after hearing his story.

Otherwise, why let him go?

With Qing Shui's strength and that dangerous eye power, Kakuzu definitely doesn't think Qing Shui is a simple brat!

The only explanation is that Qing Shui shared a similar inner conflict with him, and was deeply moved after hearing his story…

With this mindset, Kakuzu worked harder and felt more fulfilled, rediscovering the simple joy he had when he was young and fighting for Takigakure. He even became indifferent to money.

Nowadays, Kakuzu's perspective on things is somewhat like that of a Konoha ninja. He is thinking about how Konoha should overcome this difficulty if it faces the combined attack of four hidden villages.

Most importantly, how can he help his boss earn enough military merits in this battlefield?

"Hello, you must be Kakuzu?" A friendly greeting interrupted Kakuzu's thoughts.

Sakumo Hatake was dressed in a comfortable black tracksuit, carrying a backpack that Kakashi used to wear to school, with a short sword hanging from his waist, and an excited smile on his face:

"We've finally found you! You've been keeping a really good secret!"

Kakuzu's pupils contracted sharply when he saw Sakumo Hatake's appearance—who the hell is this?

Everyone knows Sakumo Hatake's reputation and appearance; he's ranked very high on the gold exchange's bounty list.

But in Kakuzu's memory, Sakumo Hatake was a man as sharp as a knife.

The black market intelligence said that when Sakumo Hatake appeared outside Konoha Village, his murderous aura would cause people to feel pain on their skin.

But Sakumo Hatake, who stood in front of Kakuzu, was dressed like a rich, silly young master who was out for a stroll. His sportswear was neither that of a ronin nor a ninja; it looked like a child's schoolbag, with a short sword hanging incongruously at his waist.

Is this person crazy?

What Kakuto didn't know was that this was precisely the Hatake family's unique aesthetic.

This is the outfit Kakashi and Might Guy wore when they traveled through the ninja world after the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Having attempted suicide once, Sakumo Hatake has shed many heavy burdens and donned what he considers the most comfortable attire to embrace his new life.

Kakuzu forcibly suppressed his confusion; even when he fought against Sakumo Hatake, he was not confident of victory.

"What, has Konoha's White Fang set his sights on me, a bounty hunter?"

Kakuzu casually tossed the money box to the ground and rolled up his sleeves: "Looks like you've been following me for a long time..."

Sakumo Hatake waved his hand: "I'm not tracking you, Kakuzu-nii. I'm here to be your companion."

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes. He did know the information that Sakumo Hatake had been framed; he was the one who gave the information to Aozumi.

Has he become a rogue ninja of Konoha?

A strange feeling flickered in Kakuzu's heart. Sakumo Hatake's story was actually quite similar to his own back then...

They were all betrayed by the village's higher-ups.

"Here, take this..."

Seeing Kakuzu's distrustful look, Sakumo Hatake shook his head, took a slip of paper from his backpack, and tossed it to Kakuzu.

Kakuzu carefully hardened his hands with the earthen spear and took it.

This is a letter of appointment written by Aozumi, appointing Kakuzu as the Finance Minister of Root, and also explaining a series of circumstances surrounding Sakumo Hatake.

Kakuzu stared blankly at the contents of the note, momentarily unable to process what it said.

A little over a year ago, when Aoshiki met Kakuzu, he was just an ordinary genin who had only just begun to draw blood under Tsunade's guidance.

How did he suddenly become the leader of the Root?

They even gave him a government position as a bounty hunter, transforming him into one of the leaders of Root.
