Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 305: Trying to Incite a War?

"Although Blood Escape and Eye Technique were abilities I obtained from the system, they have been assimilated into the power of this world. If nothing unexpected happens, he should inherit them as well."

At home, Yubi looked at her infant son, her mind racing with thoughts.

In other words, his son, Yoichi, will most likely inherit both of these bloodline limits.

However, heredity only means that these two powers are present in one's bloodline. Whether they can be awakened and to what extent they can be trained depends on the individual.

When the Third Kazekage was in power, he wanted his lineage to continue and become a valuable fighting force for Sunagakure.

Now, it's finally a success.

Not only him, but the child's mother is also a Scorching Release ninja—in other words, his son may awaken these three powers in the future.

"I'm going to work now."

Yubi snapped out of her daze and smiled at Yecang, who had just given birth not long ago.

"Um."

Ye Cang nodded, picked up the child, and looked at him with doting eyes.

After having her son, she lost some of her capable demeanor and gained more maternal radiance.

Immediately after leaving, Yubi gave a few more instructions to the two ANBU guards outside before heading to the Kazekage Building.

Both of these ANBU members are women, specifically assigned to take care of Yekura.

Although Yekura said it wasn't necessary, Yubi was still a little worried.

As Yubi walked along the road, he pondered the matter of the Hidden Sound Village, which had recently sparked much discussion.

The daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields has already informed several major ninja villages—but the outside world is currently unaware of the existence of Orochimaru, the behind-the-scenes manager of the Hidden Sound Village.

The daimyo of the land of fields didn't elaborate, as this was, after all, their own domestic matter, and other countries and villages had no right to interfere.

However, what puzzles outsiders is that with the migration of the Fuma clan to Sunagakure, there are almost no ninja clans left in the Land of Rice Fields. Where did the manpower come from to build a ninja village? The establishment of a ninja village is something that the daimyo alone could never accomplish.

"There must be other companions"—otherwise, the Hidden Sound Village wouldn't have appeared now.

Yubi, of course, knew the inside story.

As expected, Orochimaru created Otogakure (Hidden Sound Village).

The butterfly effect caused by Yubi had a profound impact on Konoha, but it did not actually interfere with Orochimaru's personal trajectory. His choice of Otogakure must have been a well-thought-out decision.

First of all, the Land of Fields is close to the Land of Fire and adjacent to several other small countries, so its geographical location is quite good. It is also located deep inland, so it can keep track of the happenings in the ninja world at any time.

They were even further away from the most powerful ninja village in the Land of Wind.

Another point is that the Land of Fields is not a political vassal state, which allows the Hidden Sound Village to have independent administrative power—unlike some other small countries, which are more or less involved with the Five Great Ninja Villages.

What Yubi found interesting was that even Orochimaru couldn't establish a ninja village with just a few words.

The establishment of the ninja village was not that simple.

At the very least, there must be available talent.

After Orochimaru defected from Konoha, or even while he was in Konoha, he probably already realized that one day he would turn against the Konoha leadership and leave for another place—so he should have been collecting "talents" long before that.

The problem is that all the characters in the original story who were related to Orochimaru were recruited by him and brought to Sunagakure.

Therefore, if Orochimaru wants to have a team to establish a ninja village, he must find new people—and this is not something that can be done overnight.

In Yubi's view, the establishment of Otogakure (Hidden Sound Village) is progressing relatively quickly.

"The fact that Otogakure has been established means that he must still have capable people under his command. To find subordinates in such a short time requires strong intelligence support. Only by having a thorough understanding of the ninja world can one accurately find specific types of talent."

"Hmph—it seems Black Zetsu has made his move."

Yubi's heart stirred.

It's important to know that White Zetsu had been keeping an eye on some "potential members" in the ninja world for a long time, in order to strengthen the Akatsuki's ranks for Obito Uchiha and Nagato.

This includes some rogue ninja.

Now, Xiao's plan has also fallen through.

"So——"

Yubi squinted.

So—with Black Zetsu's methods, if he wanted to help Orochimaru gain momentum and allow the Hidden Sound Village to establish itself in the ninja world—it's highly likely that he would have transferred some people who were "targeted" by the Akatsuki to Orochimaru's Hidden Sound Village.

Although some rogue ninja who defect to new ninja villages will inevitably be targeted by the major ninja villages once they are recognized, they can easily change their identities.

It's quite easy to do once you've done it.

At least, it won't be discovered in the short term.

Moreover, this also gave the Hidden Sound Village a considerable fighting force, making it more than just a rabble.

Who are they?

Yubi thought about it carefully.

Although he was unaware of the current situation in Otogakure, he had deduced the "truth" through his analysis of the situation, including his understanding of Black Zetsu and Orochimaru.

"Kisame, Sasori, and Deidara are all unable to leave the village—excluding Nagato's trio, that leaves Kakuzu, Hidan, and Juzo Biwa. Hidan is still young and hasn't been discovered yet, so—the most likely candidates to join forces with Orochimaru right now are Kakuzu and Juzo Biwa. That rogue ninja from Kirigakure, Raiga Kurosuki from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, is also a possibility—"

"For a newly established small ninja village, these three people, plus Orochimaru, and some other slightly capable individuals are enough—in fact, the village's strength already surpasses that of many small countries."

Yubi raised the corners of her mouth.

During the Third Shinobi World War, some changes occurred among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who died at the hands of Might Guy; both Juzo Biwa and Raiga Kurosuki survived.

Moreover, in the original work, these characters related to Orochimaru are portrayed in detail, which does not mean that the only talents Orochimaru can find are people like Kimimaro. With Orochimaru's insight and ability, it is still easy for him to find some confidants who can be cultivated.

Even if things don't go well—as one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, a Kage-level ninja, he could train many outstanding ninjas on his own, just by doing so.

It just takes a lot of time.

"Interesting—it seems like things are starting to look promising."

Yubi took a light breath.

Black Zetsu is against Orochimaru—naturally, they are not afraid of the fact that Orochimaru is the leader of Otogakure being exposed.

It's even possible that they harbor schemes against Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's previous attack on Sasori was not without reason—Sasori was a high-ranking official and representative figure of Sunagakure.

The invasion of the Land of Rain by the Land of Wind caused widespread panic in recent years, raising great vigilance among other ninja villages. If Sasori or Yubi were to attack the Village of Sound now, it would undoubtedly ignite a major conflict and directly shatter the peace that has lasted for several years.

This caused the relationship between Sunagakure and other villages to deteriorate instantly.

The reason for attacking the Land of Rain is that it lacks a clear political system and is entirely a monarchical state under Hanzo—and the Sand Village...

They could also exploit the conflicts within the Land of Rain and the existence of Akatsuki to their advantage, and pin the blame on Danzo Shimura.

But taking action against the Land of Fields is a different story.

Although he knew that Orochimaru had founded the Hidden Sound Village, the Land of Rice Fields had not officially announced it to the outside world—under such circumstances, if the Hidden Sand Village were to start a war, it would be clearly a military move.

"Given the groundwork laid by the previous incident in the Land of Rain, the other four great ninja villages will probably band together in no time."

Furthermore, the geographical location of the Land of Fields is also very sensitive.

When the Land of Rain attacked, the other ninja villages were willing but unable to intervene.

Things are different now. Although the major ninja villages are still developing well, they have almost recovered their strength and are capable of intervening in the war.

"You want to start the Fourth Shinobi World War ahead of schedule, huh—"

Yubi thought to herself.

This must be Black Zetsu's idea.

Orochimaru may not have known—or he may have known perfectly well and wanted to drag Sunagakure into it.

Don't underestimate Orochimaru just because he's a junior; when it comes to intelligence, he's far smarter than Madara Uchiha.

Black Zetsu thought he could fool him? Not so easy.

In short, based on the current situation, Yubi was able to guess a little of what the two were thinking.

"I thought you two were going to make a good move—and this is it?"

"That's a bit disappointing—"

Yubi clicked his tongue.
