Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 136 Nagato, Collapses at the First Touch! (10,000-word chapter)

The next day, at the entrance of the Haori Gate.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I'll be going now."

Lin lowered her head, her face flushed, and spoke to Yuzhi and Hikaru. Without waiting for their reply, she fled like a startled deer.

She actually wanted to run away last night, but unfortunately, it was difficult for her to walk due to etiquette. But now she really can't hold back anymore.

"How embarrassing, I didn't do anything."

Yuzhi scratched his head and tried to remain calm, but he was also a little embarrassed. Compared to his embarrassment, he couldn't hold back anymore.

"How dare you say that?"

Hikaru glared fiercely at Haori, then grabbed his clothes.

"Can't you do anything a normal person would do? Didn't you even check if anyone else was home when you got back?"

"Please, this is my home. If there were any malicious intent, I would have sensed it immediately, but I really didn't detect any malice."

Haori raised her hands to show her innocence, but this made Hikari even more nervous!

"You knew she was at home, so what did you do?"

I can't go on talking about it. Last night, the three of them clearly bumped into each other, and they also knew that Lin would stay overnight in her room.

At this point, no matter what, Hikaru should be living with Rin, but Haori, that lunatic, seems to have suddenly become even more excited.

He carried her into his room without letting her struggle at all, and last night he held her so tightly that she couldn't move an inch.

If she hadn't been keeping a close eye on him and slapped that bastard's hand away countless times, who knows what crazy things he might have done!

To describe Yuzhi's behavior as "beast" is too lenient.

"Alright, we're getting engaged anyway, so it's not a big deal."

Perhaps realizing she had gone too far, Haori reached out and hugged Hikaru, then comforted her.

"Next time I encounter a situation like this, I'll set up a soundproof barrier."

The light froze.

She stared at Yuzhi in disbelief. Shouldn't they have let her go in this situation? How did it turn into setting up a soundproof barrier?

What exactly is going on in this evil Uchiha brat's mind?

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I have something I need to discuss with you."

She grabbed Hikari and slammed the door shut with her back foot. As she led Hikari into the house, she spoke.

"I have some new ideas this time, and I feel it's necessary to discuss this with you, unless you don't want to hear them?"

"Go ahead and say it."

Hikari's attention was indeed drawn, perhaps because Haori's excessive behavior had made her feel that there was no point in complaining, or perhaps she felt that it would be useless to say anything to this guy.

Instead of worrying about useless things, it's better to listen to what this guy is up to this time.

"Remember when we dealt with that guy named Onoki, the Dust Release technique he used?"

Yuzhi carried Hikari back to the sofa before asking seriously.

"Of course I remember, that technique was incredibly powerful."

Guang naturally wouldn't forget this incident. Although it didn't actually harm them, the technique still left a deep impression on her.

"You have ideas about this technique?"

"Yes, but it wasn't a direct copy."

Hagoromo shook his head and told Hikaru about some ideas he had come up with while soaking in the hot spring with Jiraiya the day before.

The use of Yin Release does have many uncertainties, but Madara Uchiha had already set an example for them.

Moreover, Hashirama Senju also used Yang Release combined with Water Release and Earth Release to create a unique Wood Release that could leave Madara Uchiha and the Nine-Tails completely stunned.

Why can't Yin Release be combined with other attributes to create a "Bloodline Elimination" technique that is more suitable for the Uchiha clan?

"Your idea is to construct the structure according to our awakened Wood Release?"

Hikari immediately understood what the haori meant, which she found quite interesting.

She has also awakened Wood Release, but she is still absorbing and studying the data related to Wood Release, and she hasn't had many battles yet.

Therefore, she did not do anything, but that does not mean she was unaware of what this so-called "Wood Release" was.

If she really tried to emulate Obito's "random attacks," she could achieve some results.

"So, you're planning to use Fire Release?"

Why not?

Hagoromo nodded. Hikaru really understood him well; he indeed didn't intend to construct his Yin Release according to Madara's "Yin Release: Lightning Style".

Fire Release is the Uchiha's most advantageous power, and if it doesn't have enough effect, Hagoromo would feel somewhat unworthy of his identity.

"Where leaves dance, fire will burn, its shadow will illuminate the village, and new leaves will sprout."

This statement, in a certain sense, explains the meaning of "Konoha," the meaning of the Will of Fire, and the concepts of Wood Release and Fire Release. It would be truly incomprehensible if these weren't combined.

"But don't we have Amaterasu?"

However, just as Haori was feeling smug, Hikaru suddenly asked a question out of curiosity.

"Isn't Amaterasu powerful enough? By combining Amaterasu with Yin Release and leveraging its superior control over other techniques, you can achieve your goal just as well."

In that case, why would you go to the trouble of acquiring other useless skills?

Besides, according to your logic, all you want is the power of Yin Release, isn't that the best approach?"

These words alone silenced Yuzhi.

Is Amaterasu easier to control than other techniques?

You must be born with the "earth tool added to your destiny" to speak so casually, right?

But upon closer reflection, it seems that this is indeed the case for them!

Amaterasu is a power guided by the Kaleidoscope, so its compatibility with Yin Release should be the highest.

In addition, Amaterasu's special characteristics are also there. As the "most offensive technique in the Kaleidoscope," its explosive power is entirely predictable.

The power of the Feathered Robe in Kirigakure has already been unleashed, and it is definitely capable of fulfilling some of the Feathered Robe's design!

"Furthermore, Amaterasu shouldn't be considered a simple flame, although that might conflict with my thinking."

But if I make the necessary attempts and succeed, the power will only be greater, and it might even allow me to gain more experience.

Thinking of this, Yuzhi's eyes lit up. Anyway, it was just a trial, so there was no big deal.

Amaterasu also belongs to the fire element, so he could make some countermeasures based on his experience in fusing "Burning Release" and at the same time introduce a sufficient amount of Yin Release into it.

Although he wasn't sure if "the power of my thinking" would work in this world, the light had really opened up a new avenue for him!

"Have you thought it through?" Looking at Haori's expression, Hikaru could guess what she was thinking.

"I suppose so." Haori smiled. "Thank you. This idea was quite unexpected, but it seems really worth trying."

"That's good. Anyway, you always say that we should brainstorm together."

Hikaru blinked, seemingly having forgotten that Haori was still holding her, and a smile appeared on her face.

The idea of ​​pooling wisdom was indeed proposed by Yuzhi, and it was especially evident at the clan meeting.

As long as it doesn't involve the overall direction or things where the route has been forcibly set by Yuzhi, everything else needs to be discussed, studied, and even voted on together.

This can be seen as handing over power to everyone, so how could the clansmen not be completely devoted to him?

No matter how difficult the test is, the clansmen who fail will only think "Is it my fault?" instead of going crazy and thinking "It's all the world's fault".

"Besides that, there's one more thing." In high spirits, Yuzhi simply brought up the other matter as well.

"What's wrong?" Hikaru blinked, also showing a hint of curiosity.

"Let's go out and take a look in a few days."

"Where to?"

"The Land of Rain, and while we're at it, we'll meet a few lunatics."

-

"You're really wasting your time; this is completely pointless."

"Perhaps, but it's never a bad idea to check."

Within the Land of Wind, Orochimaru and Sasori strode swiftly through the desert.

After learning some information about the dragon vein, he had already believed it, but adhering to the style of a 'scientist', he still wanted to confirm it.

Although the dragon vein had already been extracted, and according to his subsequent understanding, this chakra was taken away by that "real thing".

But there will always be some traces left, and maybe he will discover something!

Once that's confirmed, he might be able to make a more accurate judgment.

"If they're in cahoots, if the 'real' and the 'fake' aren't even in cahoots, then..."

Orochimaru licked his lips lightly; he would not be bound by so-called stereotypes.

Perhaps doing this is a waste of time, but it is all worthwhile.

"Fine, whatever you want. I just hope you don't waste your time."

Sasori glanced at Orochimaru, but ultimately didn't continue speaking.

Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly, but he also agreed with Sasori's words; his time was indeed very precious, after all, he had a lot to do right now.

Whether it's the Impure World Reincarnation, the fusion of Senju cells and Uchiha power, or the creation of Sasori's body and his own transformation techniques.

All things considered, he realized that his time was indeed completely filled up.

"Besides, we also need to find Hiruko for Uchiha Hagoromo, but what is it about Hiruko that makes Hagoromo care so much?"

He used to genuinely look down on Biruhu, and now he really hasn't received any news.

Whether this guy is alive or dead is unknown, which drives Orochimaru crazy.

He could be considered a man of his word, although his "trustworthiness" stemmed from Yuzhi's terrifying strength.

But no matter what, he will get it done; at least for now, he doesn't think he has the power to overturn the table.

Amidst howling winds, the two raced across the desert, and soon they arrived at the tower in Loulan!

Loulan was more dilapidated than ever before, as if it had lost all its former glory.

Many houses were teetering on the brink of collapse in the sandstorm, and their survival seemed to have reached a dead end.

"These people probably won't be able to hold on any longer. They'll either have to move here or wait to die."

Sasori and Orochimaru concealed their tracks and headed towards the tower that sealed the dragon vein, with Sasori speaking as they went.

"However, whether they can survive depends on themselves. Without the Dragon Vein, they have no value, and Sunagakure no longer cares about them."

"That's true. We haven't encountered any trouble along the way, which shows the attitude of Sunagakure."

Orochimaru nodded. With such powerful dragon veins, Sunagakure would naturally not allow these people to leave.

They might even be thinking about how to control them and seize the dragon vein for themselves, otherwise why would there still be a Loulan Kingdom in the Wind Kingdom?

But now, since they've lost their value, who would care about them anymore?

"We're here, this is it."

Pushing open the tower's doors, Scorpion spoke calmly.

"Although I have never come here to search for the power of the dragon vein, I am still clear about the structure and approximate location of this place."

"Come on, whatever trace you're looking for, I think this is the perfect place."

"Indeed, this is the perfect place."

Orochimaru's gaze was deep and unfathomable. The moment he stepped into the tower, he had already sensed the residual chakra energy within it!

This chakra was very similar to what he had sensed in those two mysterious figures, especially the one he had fought.

Even though the mysterious aura was very mottled and complicated, some special chakra auras were hard to conceal.

Most importantly, the booming chakra that those two people unleashed when they left was basically the same as the aura here!

"Is that really the case?"

Orochimaru muttered something, and then he found many signs of a battle here.

These marks were very messy and made no sense.

But he still keenly noticed that these traces were intermittent, as if the attack had stopped halfway through!

Seeing all this, Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips.

His premonition grew stronger and stronger—

"They don't seem to be on the same side after all. Did I betray them, or is there some kind of backdoor in the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

-

Konoha Village, Root Base.

Danzo Shimura sipped his tea leisurely.

He was especially satisfied with the sight of the Roots, which was now full of people coming and going.

How long has it been? How long has he waited for the roots to return to their original state?

"However, we still need to wait. Although the roots have recovered, there are still not enough people."

Danzo always believed that only when everyone in the Root was completely under his control could it be considered a true Root.

However, the current members of Root have not been completely 'tamed' yet; they still have their own thoughts, which makes Danzo somewhat dissatisfied.

"Fortunately, while they harbored deep resentment towards Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi, their loyalty to Orochimaru was profound."

"And I promised them that once they completed their training and mastered everything about Root, I would grant them the right to take revenge!"

Revenge is the main theme of Root now, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that those Orochimaru left behind are insane.

They had only this belief in their minds, and they were willing to do anything to harm the Hokage, even if it meant relying on this belief!

But such madmen are exactly Danzo's cup of tea. They have convictions and are ruthless enough. Once those convictions become his own, wouldn't that be perfect?

As for welcoming Orochimaru back in the future?

Are you kidding me!

Orochimaru is a rogue ninja, and that will never change. Danzo will not tolerate anyone who threatens his position.

"However, we can't stop the materials from Orochimaru. We're still in the cooperation phase, and my arm is getting better and better. We must squeeze every last drop of value out of Orochimaru."

"Besides Orochimaru, we can't slack off on the Uchiha problem either. Itachi Uchiha is progressing very quickly, but his investigation of the Uchiha clan is far from sufficient."

"It is currently known that Uchiha Hagoromo adopted Uchiha Sasuke as his godson, with the aim of protecting the entire Uchiha clan, and he also seems to have feelings for Uchiha Itachi's mother."

Thinking of this, Danzo couldn't help but snort inwardly.

Danzo was ashamed that a brat would be interested in a widow who was many years older than him!

However, Danzo also admired Uchiha Haori's scheming. She was willing to do such a thing in order to gain control of the Uchiha clan, and Danzo had to admire her for it.

"A formidable opponent, a shameless opponent. This kind of person must be dealt with, but unfortunately, not yet."

"Although there are some lunatics outside dealing with them, to eliminate them we must also take care of the Hokage, otherwise the consequences will be dire!"

"But it will be soon. I have waited for so many years, I don't mind waiting a few more. As long as I can achieve my goal, everything will be worth it."

Danzo drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, and at that moment he was filled with anticipation and longing for the future.

As for Minato Namikaze, the suppressed rumors were enough to crush him. Whether it was the Nine-Tails incident or Orochimaru's defection, these voices, even if suppressed, could be slowly stirred up.

Besides, the messy events surrounding the Nine-Tails incident have already deeply permeated people's minds. What Danzo needs to do now is to slowly etch Orochimaru's deeds into everyone's minds as well.

"Once we've accumulated enough, and with that lunatic cooperating with Itachi and Yamato to wipe out the Uchiha, we can deliver a fatal blow before they can even react!"

"Hiruzen, you're old, Minato Namikaze, you deserve to die!"

Danzo roared, howled, and fantasized in his heart, while Uchiha Itachi behind him stared at him unnoticed.

His Sharingan with three tomoe slowly rotated in its socket, then he lowered his head and stopped looking at Danzo.

"It was you who caused Lord Orochimaru to be captured and unjustly released."

At this moment, there were only two people in Itachi Uchiha's heart who he hated the most.

One was Danzo, whose mouth was full of Konoha and whose heart was full of himself, while the other killed his father and took his mother away.

Uchiha Haori even went so far as to harm her own younger brother!

In his heart, both of them had to die, even if it meant he had to pay the price.

"To destroy Root, to destroy the Uchiha clan—is this my destiny?"

Itachi Uchiha murmured softly, his chakra aura growing increasingly dark.

Yuzhi knew that there were many mentally ill people in this world.

But what he didn't know was that there were more mentally ill people in the world than he imagined.

After giving Shisui a hard time and asking him to keep an eye on things in the village, Hagoromo created a wood clone and left Konoha with Hikari.

I don't know if it's because I've done it so many times, but now Yuri runs out of Konoha with ease.

In just a few breaths, he had already brought the light to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain!

"Honestly, isn't it better to stay in the village? What's so special about that lunatic?"

Hikaru seemed quite puzzled by Hagoromo's perverse sense of humor. He thought that if he had the chance, he should have just killed that lunatic, so that he wouldn't have to keep jumping around like that all the time.

She holds grudges, whether it was when Obito overheard her secret or when he attacked Rin later.

Guang has memorized every single one of these things, and if she has the chance in the future, she will definitely strike hard!

"Actually, I also want to kill him, but this guy is just a cockroach. Beating him is easy, but actually killing him is not easy."

Yuzhi was also quite helpless; didn't he also want to just kill Obito?

In terms of sheer destructive power, when he was a fourth-level Susanoo, he could have scattered Obito's ashes!

But since it's not made of wood, its running ability can only be described as breathtaking.

With the addition of White Zetsu cells, this guy truly managed to survive unless he was killed in one hit.

"Take it slow, peel away everything from this guy little by little, let him fall into hell completely, that will probably be more painful for him than killing him."

"Whatever, he's just a clown anyway."

"Yes, he really is a clown."

In the original story, Obito was able to succeed in his schemes mainly because of the difference in intelligence, but now he has no advantage whatsoever.

If this guy isn't the Joker, then who is?

After changing their clothes, the two disappeared from their spot in the next moment, while the sound of pattering rain reached their ears from outside the space.

The rain in the Land of Rain seemed relentless, with torrential downpours streaming into Konan's room through the window frames.

Under the hazy moonlight, even in the dead of night, Konan was still handling the affairs of the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain has too many headaches, such as the distribution of supplies and the arrangement of personnel, all of which make Konan feel extremely troubled.

In addition, there are a series of other matters concerning the Akatsuki organization, such as recruiting members.

Keep in mind that, up to now, their Akatsuki organization only consists of her, Nagato, Orochimaru, Kakuzu, and Sasori, making their membership pitifully small.

"This can't go on."

Xiao Nan was pondering something when suddenly she frowned, then quickly stood up and looked behind her.

A ripple appeared in the space behind her, and the next moment she saw two masked figures in black robes walk out of the space!

"It's you."

Xiao Nan frowned; she never expected this lunatic to come over in the middle of the night.

However, her expression quickly changed, because she suddenly realized that the two people in front of her were not ordinary!

A person's aura doesn't lie; she felt that same feeling again, just like she did that day in Sunagakure.

That intense aura told her that the two people in front of her were definitely not the imposter!

"Long time no see."

Yuzhi seemed to sense Konan's change in mood, and he smiled and replied casually.

"But it seems I've come at the wrong time; you seem quite busy."

These words were spoken as if to a friend, which made Hikari raise an eyebrow. She knew that Haori had encountered this woman and Sasori's situation.

But he doesn't seem to have said anything about their seemingly good relationship.

"No, you've come at the perfect time!"

Konan blurted it out subconsciously, and then she realized that she seemed a little anxious; there were too many things to do in the Land of Rain.

"I happen to have some questions for you, but before that, could you tell me why you're here?"

"Of course, I'd like to check on your situation and also ask you some questions."

Instead of answering directly, Yuzhi asked a question out of curiosity.

"Don't forget, I'm still waiting for news from Sunagakure. I haven't gotten the technique I need yet."

That's it

Xiao Nan nodded inwardly. She now understood Yu Zhi's purpose in coming here, but she had to admit that the "Self-Reincarnation" technique was indeed fascinating.

However, Xiao Nan shook her head in the end and slowly began to speak.

"Sasori isn't in the Land of Rain; he's currently in the Land of Rice Fields with Orochimaru. They're teammates now, but they seem to be engrossed in some research."

Konan recounted in great detail everything that had happened to Orochimaru and Sasori during this period, from the missions they were given to them to their trip to the Land of Water.

This meticulousness and seriousness left even Yuzhi somewhat bewildered.

Although Haori never concealed the differences between herself and Obito, Konan's appearance seemed to indicate that she had already made up her mind about something, which made Haori quite strange.

He did want to achieve that effect, to make Obito a clown in everyone's eyes, but wasn't that too fast?

"Also, they encountered two mysterious Uchiha, whose extraordinary strength caused a huge mess in Kirigakure."

Moreover, their motives are unclear; it seems they might target the village. Do you even know who these dangerous villains are?

Just as Haori was pondering, Konan emphasized something again before asking.

Konan's question brought Hagoromo back to reality, and the question made him somewhat embarrassed, while Hikaru, standing beside him, remained silent.

You've come to the right person; the murderer is right in front of you.

"I know, but you shouldn't ask about those guys; it's pointless."

Yuzhi was embarrassed for a moment before shaking her head and changing the subject.

"It seems I'm out of luck this time. That's quite disappointing."

"Perhaps you can do me another favor."

Konan wasn't going to let Haori off so easily; she'd run into her so often, she had to give it a try!

Besides, she also wanted to see what level the genuine article was of, which was also a way for her to examine the genuine article in front of her.

Although she had long felt that it was better to trust the person in front of her than that lunatic.

"What's the problem?"

Yuzhi was also a little annoyed. Why was she being dragged into doing hard labor for no reason?

But after hearing Xiao Nan's question, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Do I really need to ask him this kind of question?

Orochimaru almost became the Fourth Hokage, and Sasori was the designated Fourth Kazekage. If this guy doesn't ask about these two "Kage", he must be crazy.

However, upon closer reflection, he realized that these two were indeed unreliable, because this seemingly uncontroversial "femme fatale duo" would only become obsessed with research.

If they're going to manage a village or a country, they might as well not have defected!

"However, this also seems like an opportunity?"

Yuri could tell that Konan seemed to trust her to some extent, after all, she had performed quite well in the Land of Wind last time.

If we take this opportunity to sort out the situation in the Land of Rain, it will definitely not be a bad thing.

At least, once I become Hokage, many things will become incredibly convenient!

"I really didn't expect you to ask such a stupid question."

Thinking of this, Yuzhi deliberately crossed her arms and spoke in a low voice as if she were looking at an idiot.

This attitude made Konan frown, but before she could refute it, Yuzhi continued.

However, while speaking, both he and Guang couldn't help but glance outside.

"The problems you are facing are entirely of your own making; simply put, they are due to stupidity."

I want to ask you a question: what do you really want? Is it just for fun, or do you want the Land of Rain to be better?

"This is my hometown."

Konan didn't know what Yuzhi meant, but her answer was exceptionally firm.

"Is that so? But what you're doing makes it seem like you're trying to destroy what you call your hometown."

Yuzhi chuckled softly, casually found a place to sit down with Hikari, gently tapped the table with his hand, and continued speaking.

"Let me ask you a question. Hanzo was able to kill Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade back then, so why didn't he do it?"

"This..." Xiao Nan hesitated for a long time, only to find that she couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Yuzhi simply said, "Because he's not stupid, and the stupidest thing you did was kill him, at least for now."

As soon as she finished speaking, both Haori and Hikaru could feel a chill coming from outside the window, but Haori seemed not to notice and continued speaking.

"He didn't kill them because he knew the Land of Rain had reached its limit. The Sannin were the Hokage's disciples; if he killed them and Konoha mobilized its entire force, what would be their fate?"

"Destruction." Although unwilling to admit it, Konan still spoke.

"Yes, and it was divided up and destroyed by other major powers."

Yuzhi nodded and spoke calmly.

"I have no intention of criticizing his subsequent actions. His death may have been deserved, but he did not betray the Land of Rain."

He was very clear about one thing: the village's interests came first. Sometimes he had to fight for them, but sometimes he had to compromise.

But you haven't recognized your place. How can the Land of Rain improve by acting this way?

Yuzhi's words sounded simple, but they made Konan clench her fists slightly.

This seemed different from what she had expected.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Nan continued, "That sounds nice, but what do you suggest we do now?"

"Am I teaching you?"

Yuzhi asked a question in return, then shook her head.

"I ask you, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the Land of Rain?"

This question once again silenced Konan. The Land of Rain had too many disadvantages, but also too many advantages.

"Tell me, how dare you rule the Land of Rain with someone like this?"

Yuzhi shook his head with amusement, and sighed under Hikaru's slightly strange gaze.

"The disadvantages of the Rain Country are the same as those of the Wind Country, only reversed. They suffer from drought and cannot grow crops, while you suffer from too much rain."

Moreover, the Land of Rain is surrounded by powerful nations, naturally facing a survival crisis. But conversely, isn't this also an advantage?

"What kind of advantage is this?" Xiao Nan was confused. This was a hellish start.

"Your positions are destined to be coveted by everyone when the Fourth Shinobi World War begins, so why not make the most of that?"

Yuzhi shook his head; he could tell that Konan hadn't learned any geography.

"Declare neutrality directly, and at the same time carry out cooperation in various aspects, such as trying to contact the Land of Wind to irrigate the land with rainwater in order to obtain some money."

For example, you could try to contact Konoha and exchange your mission share for Konoha's assistance, thereby achieving better development.

Personally, I recommend Konoha. After all, Konoha has the capability to offer something better.

Konan listened to Yuzhi's words with a frown. These contents did not match her own thoughts at all, especially those about Konoha.

Hanzo is dead, but Danzo is not!

But she also had to admit that the shift in her thinking did allow her to see many different things.

She now seemed to understand why Yuri kept emphasizing the word "compromise".

For the sake of the village's development and interests, it seems that sometimes compromise is truly necessary.

"But this seems to completely contradict your plan, doesn't it?"

Although she thought the idea was good, Xiao Nan was still extremely cautious.

Just thinking that this guy doesn't even care about resurrection magic, as if he hasn't taken into account the possible impact of reviving Yahiko, makes me wonder.

For a moment, she felt that she had really asked the wrong question.

"My plan will succeed, after all, the ninja world needs a powerful external force to act as a glue."

However, Yuzhi smiled gently and continued tapping the table as he slowly spoke.

"Whether you follow the suggestions I gave you is up to you. Besides, even if you do follow them, you'll need to conceal your identities."

Orochimaru and Sasori, these two are destined to make many things difficult to handle, and you can only remain hidden in the shadows.

Besides, wouldn't establishing contact with Konoha actually be better for your search for Danzo?

So you had something on your mind about this lunatic.

Konan's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing these words, and Hikari, who had been listening silently all along, finally became certain of Hagoromo's thoughts.

It seems like he's trying to win over the Land of Rain while simultaneously acting as a guide to find that lunatic Danzo!

However, this was the first time Hikaru had seen a haori like this, with such confidence and ease as she could see the strengths and weaknesses of a country and a village.

He then immediately offered solutions based on the actual situation, which was completely different from the person at home whose mind was full of "dirty thoughts".

"However, he really has always kept the idea of ​​'destroying the world' in his heart."

She pursed her lips, and suddenly had an idea: should she bring this guy out more often in the future?

He would stop touching her inappropriately at home all day, truly using his hands and feet, even though she no longer objected.

"This is a matter for the Land of Rain to deal with external affairs; as for internal affairs, it's even simpler."

Haori had no idea what Hikaru was thinking; he shrugged and continued speaking.

"As someone in a position of authority, why do you insist on doing everything yourself? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise'?"

Delegating tasks to the right people is like a ninja issuing a mission; all you have to do is wait for them to give you a result.

Of course, you also need to establish some rules and constraints to prevent them from running wild, but this is much easier and simpler than you running wild yourself.

"you"

Upon hearing the word "reckless", Xiao Nan really couldn't hold back anymore; she felt like she had been scolded all night.

However, at this moment, Yuzhi slowly stood up and then stretched her body a little.

"As for the issue of power distribution, I don't need to go into details; you just need to have a general idea."

Now that you're taking all the responsibility upon yourself, it would be strange if nothing went wrong.

Let me ask you a question: If you have four bananas but need to divide them among five monkeys, how would you do it?

"And what's your answer?"

Konan has learned her lesson; instead of answering, she directly asks Yuzhi a question.

"Simple, why would I separate all four at once?"

However, Yuzhi gave her an answer that shocked her.

"I'll eat three myself and leave one for the monkeys to fight over."

Even if they start fighting, that's not my problem.

The problem of contradictions is that contradictions between superiors and subordinates become internal contradictions; just transform them and the problem is solved.

"So you need your own people to eat bananas with you. You can choose within the Rain Kingdom, but I suggest you recruit those unlucky guys from Loulan."

Looking at the dumbfounded Konan, Yuzhi continued.

The people of Loulan were indeed exceptionally unlucky. They were already being pressured by the Wind Kingdom because of the dragon vein issue, but at least they were still able to survive.

Now that their only value is gone, why would the Kingdom of Wind provide them with any support? They'd rather they die quickly so they can subdue Loulan.

He wouldn't forget that it was Yuzhi who did this. He had thought about how to handle it before, but now he saw an opportunity.

Bringing these people to the Land of Rain is much better than letting them die in the Land of Wind!

"Those people from Loulan, it seems you still have some humanity left."

Xiao Nan paused for a moment after hearing this, but then her expression unexpectedly improved.

Looking intently at the haori, Konan suddenly bowed slightly to him and said very sincerely.

"Although I disagree with many of your ideas, I have to say that you have indeed taught me a lesson and made me understand a lot of things."

Perhaps killing Hanzo so early wasn't the right thing to do, but I think I could have done it, and done it better. Thank you!

"There's no need for thanks. I'm still waiting for my 'reincarnation' and to see how you all perform."

Yuzhi shook his head, and suddenly his chakra paused slightly, causing his whole body to appear distorted.

"Besides, some people who've been listening for so long are probably just waiting for it to end so they can do something else, so..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuzhi's figure vanished instantly, and Konan's expression immediately changed.

But before she could even make a move, she was shocked to find that she couldn't move her body!

Outside the window, Yahiko's body suddenly slammed against the windowpane, as if he had lost his ability to move. All of this made Konan realize something immediately—

In an underground room in the Land of Rain, Nagato's eyes instantly lit up, and a powerful repulsive force was already being demonstrated.

But right before his eyes, the spiral formed by the terrifying distortion of space ignored such a repulsive force.

It landed gently on Nagato's neck, accompanied by a kunai, and the figure of the haori quietly emerged from the space.

"Then, let the sparring begin, and incidentally, let it end."

Even though Yuzhi had expressed her feelings countless times, she still couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Obito's abilities are really amazing!

Seeing Nagato's extremely ugly expression, Haori chuckled and then put away her kunai, and the violent aura stopped abruptly at that moment.

"You lost, Nagato."
