I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Danzo said coldly.

He did it, but he should insist that he didn't do it. As for the eyes...

I went blind by accident while doing a task.

A year has passed. Could it be that Sunagakure can still detect the poison in his blind eyes?

After much back and forth, the atmosphere fell silent again.

Just when there seemed to be no way out on either side, two figures appeared out of thin air—

One was Kurama Akabane, and the other was unconscious; judging from his clothes, he was probably a death row inmate.

Danzo's tightly clenched hands under his sleeves instantly relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

With Akabane coming over, everything will be foolproof.

"Kurama Akabane..."

Chiyo's eyes were cold. Although Akabane and Sunagakure seemed to have nothing to do with each other, upon closer examination, they were actually quite related.

Why is Ebi hiding so cowardly in the back?

It wasn't the comic book that scared me.

Although he gained the Land of Birds, he also provoked Amegakure and Iwagakure, especially Amegakure. During this period, Hanzo wanted to survive in the cracks and achieve peace between the small country and the big country, but Sunagakure's actions undoubtedly slapped Hanzo in the face.

But this stupid son of mine...

Chiyo felt a pang of sadness. As a seasoned ninja, she knew very well that the blame still lay with Madara, and that Konoha would never agree to such an outrageous demand. They were simply raising the price exorbitantly and then trying to negotiate a lower price.

"Chiyo, we can't give you Sakumo, but we can summon your son's soul back from the Pure Land and let him tell the truth himself. Also, I know that your Sunagakure is researching the Reincarnation Technique."

After Danzo finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Akabane.

Chiyo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Reincarnation in dirty soil?

Konoha actually possesses this bizarre forbidden technique... This...

If a real fight breaks out, Sunagakure will likely suffer a real loss.

So, Shamon's concerns are valid, but few people in the village even know about the Reanimation Jutsu research. Where did Konoha find out about it?

She glanced at Ebizo, secretly feeling contempt.

It must be that traitor.

"Please step back."

Without a word, Akabane took out the scroll, unsealed it, and then, following the Edo Tensei ritual, summoned the soul of "Sou" and channeled it into the body of a cultist death row inmate.

As the ritual proceeded, the appearance of the "cult members" quickly changed, transforming into the appearance of "Chong".

The genius puppeteer opened his eyes in confusion.

He was still unaware of what had happened. Looking around, he saw his mother and uncle at the scene, while on the other side were Danzo and Kazami Hatake, enemies of Sunagakure.

That boy is...

Why did you join the war?

Chiyo, without hesitation, was the first to ask a question.

"I am Fengying. He said that this war is of utmost importance and he hopes that I can make a contribution to the village."

In front of his mother, Chong honestly told her the truth about what happened.

He recounted the entire story, from beginning to end, including the details of their initial ambush that wiped out two Konoha ninja teams, and their eventual ambush and assassination by Sakumo and Shishou.

The atmosphere was dull for a while.

Without a doubt, the problem lies with Sunagakure itself, and Chiyo cannot clear her name.

The key is--

Her son's "soul" is in the other party's hands. Judging from the manga, Akabane should have the means to control Takashi. If Konoha uses Takashi to kill her, then...

silence.

Chiyo remained silent for a long time.

The ninjas behind her were also taken aback and didn't know what to say.

There's something strange about this war.

"Elder Chiyo, we are unsure whether your Reincarnation technique has been successfully developed, but if not, Konoha is willing to lend a hand and assist in the research..."

Akabane continued.

The purpose of self-reincarnation is to revive the dead through a one-for-one exchange.

Chong's body was completely repaired by medical ninjutsu, and his soul was summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation. Now all that's missing is for his soul to enter his body. As long as Chiyo masters the Reincarnation Technique, she can revive him at any time.

This was a tremendous temptation for Chiyo.

"This war has been controlled by Madara and Black Zetsu from beginning to end. Our enemy is Madara, not Konoha... But Konoha must guarantee to help rebuild our Sunagakure after the war. Also, I hope you can save our Kazekage."

She finally relented and stated her conditions.

“We don’t know how Madara controls the Kazekage. Of course we’ll try to save him if we can, but I think the chances are slim. What Madara really needs is the Tailed Beast Shukaku, not the Kazekage…”

Danzo shook his head and did not immediately agree.

So the two sides started arguing again, and finally Chiyo agreed to "surrender," while Konoha would help her complete her research on the Reincarnation technique and help her retrieve Shukaku.

The price is.

Sunagakure will have to spend a lot of money, and in return, half of the future missions will be given to Konoha.

Missions are the foundation of the ninja village's existence.

Losing half of its territory has a huge impact on Sunagakure. After this war, Sunagakure will most likely be removed from the list of the Five Great Ninja Villages, but this is the best price Chiyo could get.

No matter how high the offer, Konoha will not agree.

To put it bluntly, Konoha doesn't lack their fighting strength. The reason they took the initiative to seek peace was simply because they didn't want to prolong the war and bring more variables.

Chapter 348 Black Zetsu: Where is the Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki?

If they had any brains, Chiyo and Ebizo would have backed down.

Danzo's only concern was that Chiyo's son was brainless after his death, so he sent Akabane over to summon her son and help him develop some intelligence.

Chiyo certainly has brains.

Everything she did was simply to try and secure benefits for Sunagakure, so that at least after the war, the entire village wouldn't be swallowed up and cease to exist as a ninja village...

At that point, she would have no face to meet the fallen heroes of Sunagakure even in death.

The village is more important than the children.

Moreover, Konoha has offered corpses, Impure World Reincarnation, and even the ability to help research Reincarnation of the Self, which shows their sincerity. If they still disagree, what awaits them is not benefits but fists.

Danzo is not someone to be trifled with.

His current concessions are only because there are greater benefits to be gained from them; Chiyo dares not treat him like a clay idol.

Hai Laozang breathed a sigh of relief.

This older sister still has a rational mind, which is great for him. Now that everyone has become traitors, he doesn't have to feel ashamed or embarrassed to face the Sand Ninja.

After all, this was a decision made by everyone together.

Returning from peace talks.

Danzo and Kazami Hatake immediately summoned all the Jonin to the camp for an emergency meeting.

Akabane listened from the sidelines. Gradually, everyone arrived. He hadn't been standing there long when his Observation Haki vaguely sensed a strange gaze—

He looked closely and saw that the person sitting in the corner was none other than Mitokado Haru.

The location of Mitokado Homura indicates that he is just an ordinary Jonin this time. Considering the way I made up about him in the manga before, it's no wonder he looks like that.

The meeting didn't say much.

It's simply a matter of summarizing the present and looking to the future—gradually sending out intelligence agents to investigate Sunagakure, while simultaneously contacting other ninja villages to gather in the surrounding area and surround the Land of Wind.

The land of rivers is very important.

It is located at a strategic crossroads between East and West, which is why it has become a battleground for the Fire and Wind Kingdoms. At this time, the Land of Rivers, Amegakure, and the Land of Earth have already formed an encirclement.

As soon as the White Zetsu appear at the border, they will be discovered by the ninjas, and the encirclement will become smaller and smaller until Madara or the Gedo Mazo is found.

In addition, the issue of Jinchuriki also needs to be resolved, but these are issues that the major powers need to discuss, and are not among Akabane's concerns. After listening for a while, he felt that there was basically nothing for him to interrupt.

Instead of wasting time here, I should go home and update a few more chapters.

Once the scene where Madara gets his heart ripped out by Black Zetsu comes out, the two will definitely be estranged...

I'm actually quite looking forward to it.

Putting myself in his shoes, I can't help but feel a secret satisfaction at the thought that Black Zetsu must hate me to the core right now, yet he can't do anything about it.

Akabane's mind was elsewhere, his thoughts no longer on the meeting.

Before we knew it, the people had dispersed.

Danzo glanced at Akabane, who was standing motionless behind him, and frowned slightly. He turned and stared at him for a few seconds before waving his hand in front of Akabane's face.

"Hmm? What's wrong with the teacher?"

Akabane came to his senses.

"The Takigakure village needs you to communicate with that person here."

Danzo said in a low voice.

That person, of course, refers to Kakuzu.

If anyone in the world knows Takigakure best, it would undoubtedly be Kakuzu.

Danzo was fully aware that Kakuzu was cooperating with Akabane.

"Um... okay, no problem."

Akabane had already planned to ask Kakuzu for help, but after thinking for a few seconds, he asked, "Master, should we ask Kakuzu to bring the Jinchuriki out with him?"

"Bring it out?"

Danzo unconsciously touched the hilt of his sword, pondering its feasibility.

He certainly didn't trust Takigakure.

That village is very isolated, making communication difficult even among its inhabitants, yet it happens to be a friendly nation to Konoha. Doing this seems rather against the rules…

rule.

Hmm, when has Danzo ever followed the rules?

He hesitated for only a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Don't give yourself away and let people know that this is related to Konoha."

"I see."

Akabane nodded.

Kakuzu didn't need to get involved at all. All he needed to do was lead the way, and then he could finish the rest. Madara and Obito could control Jinchuriki, and with their genjutsu skills, they could do the same.

"Be careful. If all else fails, it's okay if Madara gets the Seven-Tails. Your life is the most important thing."

Danzo gave his instructions.

With the Flying Thunder God Technique at his disposal, if Akabane wanted to run away, there would be very few people in the world who could stop him.

But what if someone's brain breaks down and they can't think straight...?

"Don't worry, teacher."

Akabane isn't that reckless; how could the Seven-Tails be more important than his own life?

Having rested for so long, my chakra has recovered somewhat.

Fly directly to Thunder God and head towards Kakuzu's side.

He left a special kunai with Kakuzu, so as long as Kakuzu didn't throw it away, he could fly directly there.
