Konoha: Who's the good guy?

The original text never mentions the specific manner of Troy's death.

Nikai, on the other hand, died a clear and unambiguous death.

This unfortunate kid didn't die in the Third Shinobi World War, but when he went to the Land of Sugi with the Fourth Raikage A to steal ninjutsu scrolls, he was impulsively killed by the Xuanyuan Clan's exploding insects.

"It must be him."

After a moment's thought, Shan Zhongjing knew that the person whose fate had been changed was undoubtedly Nikai.

As a veteran ninja, Troy had been through many trials and tribulations in the ninja world and was used to seeing life and death.

Even if his teammates sacrificed themselves to save him, he would only be sad for a while.

Only a young man like Nikai, who has only recently become a Jonin and has little experience, would change his mindset and thus his fate because of the death of his teammate.

"It's better than nothing, I suppose."

Shan Zhongjing clicked his tongue and silently slid underwater using his water-transformation technique.

They quickly approached the area where the Blood Dragon Eye ninja was located, which they had sensed earlier.

In the residential houses on the edge of the island's port.

A young man with blood-red sclera and a pinkish-purple horizontal line across his dark red eyeballs sat calmly on the sofa.

Holding a cup of piping hot tea in his hand, he leisurely sipped it.

The fierce battle that had just taken place at the dock seemed to have had no effect on him whatsoever.

Miyajo En?

Shan Zhongjing pushed open the half-closed door.

Looking at Miyajo En, who bore a resemblance to the character in the original work but was noticeably younger, he felt even more puzzled.

Didn't this guy massacre his entire clan after his wife was forced to death by her own people, and then take his daughter Chino to become a merchant?

How did I end up here?

"The Hidden Mist ninjas are truly useless; they didn't even kill you. But, finding this place—are you lucky or unlucky?"

Miyajo En looked at the middle-aged ninja standing in front of the door.

With a sneer curling at the corner of his lips, Blood Dragon Eye met Shan Zhongjing's eyes and immediately activated the Blood Dragon Eye Illusion Technique!

hum~

An invisible Yin energy spread throughout the small hut.

The sticky, dark, and foul-smelling aura of Yin caused Yamanaka Kei to frown slightly.

The idea of ​​experiencing the Blood Dragon Eye illusion vanished instantly.

Too lazy to waste words with the other party, he casually used the Magic Illusion Mirror Heaven and Earth Reversal to reflect the Blood Dragon Eye Illusion.

Looking at Miyajo En, who was sitting blankly on the sofa.

Yamanaka Kei took out a glass bottle, no bigger than half a palm, from the sealed scroll.

After enveloping the surroundings with Water Release: Water Ball Technique to prevent leaving any traces.

He walked straight up to the other person and reached out to take their eye.

"what!"

A heart-wrenching scream came from the hut.

Yamanaka Kei calmly washed his bloodstained hands in the pale blue water sphere surrounding Miyajo Yan.

Looking at the crystal-clear blood dragon eye in the glass bottle, he nodded in satisfaction.

"My eyes! I can't see! I..."

Despite the excruciating pain, Miyajo En barely managed to break free from his own illusion.

Before it could even let out a few cries of pain.

Shan Zhongjing then unleashed another self-created A-level illusion, Magical Heaven and Earth.

Having lost the Blood Dragon Eye, Miyajo En instantly fell into an illusion.

Although his expression constantly shifted between pleasure and pain, he was ultimately unable to break free from the bond between heaven and earth.

As the illusion eroded his appearance, his face gradually returned to calm.

Yamanaka grabbed the other person's belt with one hand.

Throw the blood-stained water ball into the sea to erase all traces.

After summoning the eagle Hitmonlee using a spirit summoning technique, it flew directly towards the southwest of the island.

He glanced back in the direction Troy and the others had fled.

The mountain scenery exhaled a long breath of stale air.

As for his adopted son Musay, the planned livestock farm was almost finished before he even left, with all the livestock, feed, and workers arranged.

With the remaining savings on the table, we can keep the business going no matter what.

The Hidden Cloud Village has lost a ninja, and the Hidden Leaf Village has lost a rival.

Hello, hello, hello everyone!

perfect!

Aside from the contingency plan left behind on the day of the Two-Tailed Beast's rampage, Yugito made many other arrangements during the week he spent recuperating in the hospital.

We just need to wait for news of his sacrifice to get back.

Once the activation conditions are met, the information that has been temporarily sealed will be gradually unlocked.

When the little girl grows up, she probably won't repeat the same mistake and get captured by the immortal duo!

The Hidden Cloud Village has one less usable Jinchuriki, and the Hidden Leaf Village has one less potential threat.

The difficulty of Otsutsuki Agarwood's plan to save his mother has increased by 1.

Yes, that's perfect too!

"Come here, let me see why you're messing with my little girl."

Yamanaka Kei placed one hand on Miyajo En's head and used his memory reading technique to quickly examine the other's memories.

He had always harbored doubts about the forces that assassinated Yukito.

Based on the time frame.

When he assassinated the high-ranking officials of Kumogakure, Madara Uchiha had just died, and Kirigakure was leaderless.

There's simply no way they'd have the time to cause trouble in Kumogakure.

However, the results of the interrogation of those survivors by the Anbu also pointed to Kirigakure!

Now, Oyajo En is indeed entangled with the ninjas of Kirigakure again.

Could it really be an order given by Madara Uchiha before his death?

"...Oh no, Onoki, you're really something!"

After reviewing Miyajo En's memories of the past year, Yamanaka Kei's lips twitched slightly.

Unlike the original story, he slaughtered his entire clan and left Hell Valley with his daughter.

Oyajo En has only recently gotten married.

Because the Blood Pool clan lives in extremely harsh conditions, they work to earn resources to support their wives and clansmen.

More than a year ago, he began frequently taking on tasks at underground gold exchange shops.

After working for a few months, his excellent skills and good reputation quickly caught the eye of a major client.

We often receive tasks from big clients, which are quite well paid.

There were many other ninjas like him in the underground gold exchange.

By chance, someone vaguely saw the Hidden Mist Ninja headband that the main customer had inadvertently revealed.

Therefore, they all believed that their employer was actually Kirigakure.

If it weren't for this, the mission of "assisting the Hidden Mist ninja in attacking the Hidden Cloud Village" would have been impossible to keep secret.

Miyajo En probably wouldn't know either.

Their biggest customer has always been Iwagakure!

In the original work, the Raikage once criticized Onoki for frequently hiring bounty hunters to do his bidding.

In war, where no means are spared.

Such behavior is understandable.

Can......

"Has Iwagakure formed an alliance with Kirigakure?"

Yamanaka Kei withdrew his hand from Miyajo En's head.

They temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​killing the other party outright.

In the original story, Iwagakure and Kirigakure were indeed allies during the Third Shinobi World War.

If it weren't for the fact that after the Third Shinobi World War, Iwagakure suddenly turned against them while cooperating against Kumogakure, leading to the Green Canyon tragedy.

Considering their geographical locations.

This alliance could very well last until World War IV.

"I wonder what expressions the bandaged man and the mustache will have when they find out."

The scenery in the mountains is constantly being criticized.

The Second Tsuchikage Mu and the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki fought to the point of mutual destruction during the First Shinobi World War.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Iwagakure and Kirigakure are sworn enemies.

How many years have passed, and the two ninja villages have already formed an alliance?

In the original work, Madara Uchiha's actions were understandable, since he had no connection whatsoever with the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki.

Whether or not to form an alliance depends entirely on interests.

Yamanaka Kei had always believed that during the Third Shinobi World War, the Third Raikage A led a surprise attack on Iwagakure's rear, forcing Iwagakure to form an alliance with Kirigakure.

But now it seems that these two ninja villages have been in cahoots for a long time!

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests?"

Shan Zhongjing chuckled.

I shook my head, too lazy to criticize anything further.

After all, the lower limit of Konoha's upper echelons is much lower than that of Iwagakure and Kirigakure.

Eagles and falcons swiftly soar high above the sky.

Even with an extra burden.

After flying for two whole days, Pidgeot, exhausted, finally arrived at the coast of the Land of Fire, carrying the scenery of the mountains.

The summoning jutsu was dispelled, and Pidgeot was sent back to its enclosure in Konoha to rest.

With Miyajo En on his back, Yamanaka Kei continued his journey toward Konoha.

He began to consider it in his mind.

Should we have Kurenai Yuhi and Clam sign a psychic contract later?

His little apprentice has a great talent for illusion techniques and is also born with water-style chakra, but he has never properly developed it in the past.

With a little effort, even if you can't become the next Hozuki Gengetsu, you can still learn by analogy and significantly increase your potential.

Most importantly, someone was able to communicate with the clam.

He wouldn't need to carry a prisoner all the way back every time he captured one.

Carrying people on your back is such a hardship!

[Ding~ Significantly altered the fate of an important supporting character, causing a shift in the world line's development. Gained: 1 chance to draw a Fate-related affix, 1 chance to upgrade a random green affix, and 1 chance to gift an affix.]

"Looks like news of my death has reached Kumogakure!"

During a break in the journey.

The system notification sounded in Yamanaka Kei's mind again.

The bad mood that started with carrying a burden on the road completely changed the moment I saw the reward.

A fate-related entry!

Minato's "Strong Luck," and Jiraiya's "Master of Destiny."

He also wanted to be a child favored by the will of the world!

"System, come on, just draw it!"
