Chapter 451: Minato Is Really Coming Back This Time
Konohagakure.
Aoba strolled in the streets and alleys, admiring the quiet scenery.
In this period of time.
The village was immersed in the influence of war. The village was hollow and empty, and there was no one on the road.
The people in the village almost did not go out. They did not come out and wander around. They hid in their houses and did their best to avoid any accidents.
Aoba walked around Konohagakure.
It was not just that he had nothing to do now. He also wanted to see Konohagakure's appearance when the war happened. He wanted to see Konohagakure in this situation.
Gradually.
After Aoba walked a big circle around Konohagakure.
After that, he walked in the direction of Ramen Ichiraku.
...
Aoba lifted the curtain of Ramen Ichiraku and walked in directly. He sat down on the chair and his eyes fell on Teuchi.
"Brother Teuchi, I'm here. How's business recently?" Aoba asked Teuchi with a smile.
"Business? You want to talk about business with me? Why don't you take a look at the current environment in the shop? Who else would come out at this critical juncture to eat ramen?" Teuchi said in a bad mood. At this point, he couldn't even laugh. After all, no passenger flow will directly affect his business.
"It will pass soon," Aoba said lightly.
"I believe you. I'm just waiting for Minato to come back. What do you want to eat today? Is it still the same ramen as before?" Teuchi said helplessly. Now, he had placed all his hopes on Minato. This could be said to be his thoughts.
"It's not just ramen today, give me a top-quality match. Add everything to me. I'm in a good mood." Aoba said with a smile.
"Did something happy happen?" Teuchi looked at Aoba in confusion.
"Yes, just as you said, Minato is coming back soon. The Third Ninja World War is about to end." Aoba still had a smile on his face.
"I've heard your words many times!" Teuchi rolled his eyes at Aoba, but his actions were not ambiguous at all. He had already started to prepare the ramen.
"This time, Minato is really coming back." Aoba lowered his body and said. It sounded like he was talking to himself, but it also sounded like he was talking to Teuchi.
However.
Teuchi did not have any reaction.
It seemed as if he had not heard what Aoba said.
Of course.
It was unknown whether he had really heard it or not.
Just like that.
The shop fell into silence.
...
Kirigakure.
Aoba, who had already turned into the Third Raikage, looked straight at the Third Mizukage who walked out of the fog. The lightning flashing on his body became even more dazzling.
"Mizukage, do you really think you are my opponent?" Aoba turned on his taunt mode. After all, his goal was very clear. He wanted to stir the war and escalate the nature of the Third Ninja World War, by thoroughly planning the conflicts between the various villages. Only in this way could the ninja world return to a quiet state. This was the stage of detoxification. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Nôv3l--Biin.
"You are still as arrogant as ever." The Third Mizukage's voice was light and soft, sounding quite gentle and not like he was going to fight at all.
"Hahahahaha!"
Aoba directly raised his head and laughed. His laughter was like a roar of thunder, directly exploding on this foggy island. It shocked the scalp of the Kirigakure ninjas present.
"Mizukage."
"You have to pay attention to your words."
"It's not arrogance."
"I am powerful!"

"I am not here to bully you. I am here to give you a chance!"
Aoba said in an extremely arrogant tone. He deliberately said it like this on purpose.
And it was just as he had expected.
The ninjas who heard Aoba's words had already started to get angry. Even though they knew that the Third Raikage was very strong, when they heard such arrogant words, they could not help but feel angry.
"What chance?"
The Third Mizukage did not seem to be too angry. He was still seriously chatting with Aoba as if they were talking about something very normal.
Even though the Kirigakure ninjas at the scene knew that the Third Mizukage had such a character, they still felt very aggrieved. Now they wanted to crush this Third Raikage, but they did not have that kind of strength and could not do this.
All of a sudden.
Everyone could only raise their ears.
They focused on listening to what the Third Raikage was about to say.
At this time.
Other than being curious about what that "chance" was...
There was no other way.
"The chance is..."
Aoba dragged his voice out, deliberately creating a feeling of procrastination. Finally, he said, "Stop fighting with us now. Surrender to us unconditionally and become our Kumogakure's vassal again."
Whoosh!
Aoba's words made the Kirigakure ninjas explode.
This was not as simple as bullying!
This was humiliation!
Complete and utter humiliation!
Everyone's heart was like an active volcano that was about to erupt, and they were almost unable to suppress their anger.
After all, the Third Raikage's words were really too excessive!
"Raikage, your words are not accurate. When have we, Kirigakure, become your vassal?" The Third Mizukage said coldly. His tone finally changed, no longer so gentle.
"Oh?"
Aoba looked at the Third Mizukage meaningfully. Under the watchful eyes of Kirigakure ninjas, he slowly said something that made everyone even angrier.
"Isn't it always been!"
Aoba's voice echoed in Kirigakure ninjas' ears, causing the eyes of Kirigakure's ninjas present to turn blood red. The way everyone looked at Aoba was as if they had a hatred for killing their fathers and stealing their wives. It had reached an irreconcilable stage.
"Raikage, you might have some misunderstanding about the word vassals." The Third Mizukage tried his best to maintain his self-restraint. He closed his eyes. I didn't know whether it was a problem with his eyes or a habitual movement. His entire body appeared to be aloof from worldly affairs.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Aoba waved his hand directly. In the image of the Third Raikage, he showed an overall look of extreme impatience.
"This is the choice you have now."
"Either you become a vassal of our Kumogakure again."
"Either we, Kumogakure, flatten your broken island."
"Do as you see fit!"
Aoba said aggressively. His tone was very firm, it was as if he could directly push Kirigakure down as long as he wanted to.
"How dare you!"
At this time, an old voice rang out. Aoba had never heard this voice before, but the Kirigakure ninjas at the scene seemed to have found their backbone. Excitement appeared on their faces.
They were all very clear.
Kirigakure's most authoritative figure had arrived.
This was an existence that was more qualified than the Third Mizukage.

The Elder of Kirigakure.
Genji!
An old man walked out from the fog. He was accompanied by many guards. The old man had a hunched back and no hair on his head. He held a staff with a demon-like creature shape head in his hand. He looked like an otherworldly expert.
"Raikage, get the hell out of Kirigakure now. Let's meet in the battlefield!" Genji said coldly. He had just heard all of Aoba's words, and the anger in his heart was no less than that of the Kirigakure ninjas.
"Who are you?"
Aoba looked at Genji. Of course, he knew that this person was Genji.
Whether it was the information he had grasped when he was watching Naruto or the information he obtain when he read Satsuma Rentaro's memories, he had already known this person a long time ago.
Not only that.
Aoba also knew.
Genji was the person behind the scenes who wants the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu.
However.
What Aoba wanted now was to stir up the conflict between Kumogakure and Kirigakure and completely intensify the problems between the two villages into an irreconcilable state.
If he wasn't wrong...
Genji had already obtained the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu that he had modified, and it was already in training.
Now was the best time.
But before that.
Aoba still had to pretend that he didn't know Genji to achieve the effect of looking down on him, causing his follow-up plan to completely erupt at this moment.
"This old man is Kirigakure Elder, Genji."
After Genji heard Aoba's words, his expression became much uglier. He was highly respected in the Country of Water and had a high status. No matter where he went, he would gain respect. It had been a long time since he had heard such an impolite voice.
"Oh..."
Aoba once again dragged out his tone for a very long time. He narrowed his eyes slightly and focused his gaze on Genji. Moreover, when he looked at Genji, he sized him up without any concealment.
"You are the only one who has been looking for the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu!"
Ah!
Aoba's words made the Kirigakure ninjas exclaim in surprise.
This was a secret that almost every Kirigakure ninja knew.
However, they would definitely not reveal this secret.
Because this was the key to Kirigakure's rise.
However.
Now this kind of secret thing.
The Third Raikage said it so casually.
It could be said that this was completely outside of their expectations.
"It seems that you know a lot. No wonder Rentaro said that you, Kumogakure, have created a lot of obstacles for us to obtain the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. But in the end, we still got the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. The war is the same. The one who wins, in the end, is still us, Kirigakure." Genji said in a bad tone.
"Do you think you won?"
Aoba said meaningfully. He had just looked at Genji carefully. Although there was a distance between them, he did not have the ability to see through things like Byakugan. Although he could not see clearly, he could still roughly see the contents.
Genji practiced the wrong Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu.
His chakra and chakra pathways were already in disorder.
However, Genji himself did not know about this.
"What do you mean?" Genji's heart skipped a beat. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"The Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu is in the hands of our Kumogakure, how can it be easily taken back by your Kirigakure? The fundamental reason why you can get it at that time is that I let you get it!"
As Aoba spoke, his aura began to rise.
"So..."
"Do you understand now?"
"The Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu that you practiced was given to you by me."
"What you got was a fake one!"

Chapter 452: Genji's Death
Aoba's words were like a bomb that exploded in Genji's head. His face which was originally brimming with confidence was now filled with intense shock and disbelief. He felt that such a thing had completely overturned all of his knowledge during this period of time and had greatly impacted his confidence.
"How... how is this possible?!"
Genji's body instinctively shook slightly and he involuntarily took a step back. The gaze he looked at Aoba had already become a lot more blurry.
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
How could such a thing happen now?
When he was practicing ninjutsu from the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu, there were indeed some obstacles. But with his efforts, he was able to forcibly practice them.
The efficiency of casting water-release ninjutsu was indeed much higher.
Fake!
It was definitely fake!
The purpose of this was to distract him!
This was cheating him!
After a period of consideration, Genji immediately felt that this was what the situation was right now. There was no reason for any other problems to occur.
Thinking of this.
Genji felt a little better in his heart, and his worries were not so heavy.
...
Except for Genji.
The other ninjas at the scene had the same concerns, but they were more confused.
Could it be...
Genji-sama was really practicing the wrong Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu?!
Didn't Genji-sama know about this?
Huge question marks appeared on everyone's head. They looked at the two of them. They were either looking at Genji or Aoba, who was using The Third Raikage's appearance.
"Raikage, don't think that you can shake my heart with this method. What right do you have to say that the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu we got is fake? You haven't seen it!" Genji scolded loudly. His heart had already started to become chaotic. He was just trying his best to keep himself calm on the surface. However, his quietly raised tone betrayed his heart.
"I made it very clear just now..."
Aoba shook his head. After seeing Genji's appearance, he already understood that this person was starting to panic. It was just that this person refused to admit it until he saw the coffin.
"I gave you the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu you got."
"After I got the scroll, I reversed the content of the scroll."
"In other words..."
"The Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu you practice was wrong!"
Aoba was sure that no one had seen the scroll except Genji. After all, Genji also needed to consolidate his position in the Country of Water, and improving Kirigakure's strength was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
It was like Konohagakure had obtained a ninjutsu scroll of some sort, but it won't be popularized immediately so that everyone ninja can learn it.
Therefore.
Even if it was clearly stated that Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu's content was faked.
It did not matter.
Right now, no one would be able to get the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu and then reverse the content.
Of course.
Even if there was such a person.
He did not dare to practice it.
Who knew if what Aoba said was true or false?!
Before these people could question his words again, Aoba immediately followed up.
"I will give you an example to make you give up."
As Aoba spoke, he raised his hands and made a move that shocked the Kirigakure ninjas present.
Forming a hand seal!
That's right, it was forming a hand seal!
For a ninja, forming a hand seal was a very normal action!
Every ninja had to do it countless times!
However.
This kind of action appeared on the Third Raikage's body, but it was not so normal.
After all.
Ninjas in the ninja world all knew.
The Third Raikage was famous for his strong physical fitness. He even combined lightning-release ninjutsu and taijutsu. His fighting style was simple, rough, and incomparably wild. There was no need to form hand seals at all.
Just as Aoba raised his hands, the Raiton Chakura Modo(Lightning Release Chakra Mode) suddenly disappeared from his body, revealing the Third Raikage's original appearance.
It wasn't that he couldn't use it simultaneously.
It was that he didn't want the ninjas here to know that he could do such a thing.
Otherwise, it would be too shocking.
"Suiton: Suijinheki(Water Release: Water Formation Wall)!"
Aoba silently spat out these words. Overall he only did two hand seals.
Of course.
The order of the hand seals was completely different from what Genji had practiced.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh...
A terrifying current suddenly formed around Aoba. The tyrannical water current formed a defensive water vortex that surrounded Aoba, protecting him within.
"Hiss..."
When the Kirigakure ninjas saw this scene, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Everyone widened their eyes, and their eyes were filled with great shock.
It was too shocking!
It was really too shocking!
Such a thing had completely exceeded their imagination!
The Third Raikage actually formed a hand seal to cast water-release ninjutsu!
Although it was just a water formation wall...
However, this water formation wall was directly simplified into two hand seals. It could be said that it greatly increased the speed of releasing the ninjutsu. This was not something that could be disguised. This was really displayed just like that.
Too strong!
It was really too strong!
Just this water formation wall alone was enough to make everyone present not know how to face this kind of Third Raikage.
"Do you understand?"
Aoba waved his hand to disperse the surrounding water formation wall and walked out from the water. However, he seemed to have walked out from the water, but his body was covered with a layer of hazy chakra, which directly isolated all the water flow, and no drop of water could touch his body.
"This is the real Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu."
Aoba's voice was like thunder, constantly exploding in Genji's mind. He was so shocked that his whole body kept shaking.
Genji clearly saw the water formation wall that Aoba used. He had lived for so many years and was not a fool. He was very clear about the gap between them during this period.
He could now use the water formation wall with two reverse hand seals.
However, he needed to consume a lot of chakras and was weaker than the normal hand seal.
All along.
He thought it was normal.
After he became proficient with it, it would become stronger.
But...
Such a scene now.
It directly broke his fantasy.
There was simply no need to use other ninjutsu, just this water formation wall was enough to make Genji understand that he had practiced wrongly.
Thinking of this.
Genji was suddenly overwhelmed with anger. Coupled with his old body and the series of effects brought about by practicing Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu wrongly, the blood in his body surged in an instant. After that, his face turned red.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out from Genji's mouth, directly spraying on the ground. Then, his face quickly turned pale. His body swayed and he heavily fell to the ground.
Thud!
Genji's old body directly fell down.
"Huh?"
Aoba was stunned for a moment. He narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately saw that Genji's vitality had been cut off, and the mouthful of blood that just spewed out was exactly his life.
He had thought of many ways how Genji would die.
But he had never thought that things would turn out this way.
Of course.
If Aoba went to save Genji now, he could still do it, but he was not willing to do so.
"He died just like that?" The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at n(0)vel(b)(j)(n).
Aoba said indifferently. What he said was deliberately said for the people here to hear. There was no concealment at all. After all, he knew from the beginning that Genji would die. He just did not expect Genji would die like this.
"What did you say?"
After hearing Aoba's words, the Third Mizukage's eyelids twitched slightly. He could no longer maintain his usual calmness and composure.
"You said that Genji is dead?"
"Quick!"
"Go and see what is going on!"
The Third Mizukage was no longer so calm. He immediately ordered a Kirigakure ninja to check on Genji.
"Yes!"
After hearing the Third Mizukage's order, the ninja was shocked.
So he immediately ran toward Genji's body.
This kind of action.
It had already affected the hearts of the Kirigakure ninjas.
All of a sudden.
Everyone's eyes focused on one place.
Their faces were filled with worry.
"De... Dead..."
The ninja, who was inspecting Genji's body, raise his trembling fingers from Genji's neck and his voice also trembled as he said that.
As a ninja born in Kirigakure.
He was especially clear about Genji's status in the Country of Water.
He also understood what Genji's death meant.
This was no longer a simple matter.
It was a major event in the Country of Water!
"Hiss..."
Every Kirigakure ninja gasped and their hearts were heavy.
"Genji-sama is dead..."
"How could Genji-sama die so easily?"
"It must be the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu!"
"That's right, it's the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu!"
"Raikage, you're too much!"
"..."
Angry voices sounded out from the crowd.
These people all looked toward Aoba.
Everyone's eyes turned red.
What happened here had already caused them to attribute all of their hatred to Aoba.
To be precise...
It was the Third Raikage.
"Now you understand!"
Aoba struck while the iron was hot and immediately began to sprinkle salt on the wounds of these Kirigakure ninjas. He had been here for so long, how could he give up such a good opportunity?
"This is the result of you fighting against us!"
"I knew that you were eager to have the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu because you wanted to go against our Kumogakure!"
"So I made this plan!"
"Sure enough!"
"You Kirigakure, after getting the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu, immediately attack our Kumogakure!"
"Do you really think your wings are hard?"
"I will tell you now!"
"As long as I want to..."
"I can kill you at any time!"
When Aoba finished speaking, his body emitted a wave of killing intent. Of course, he was only saying this. He would not personally do this.
Otherwise, everything would be meaningless.
He still needed these ninjas to attack Kumogakure!
In this way.
The situation in the ninja world would become even more chaotic!

Chapter 453: There Is Only One Way in Front of Us
A strong killing intent emanated from Aoba's body, covering all of Kirigakure's ninjas.
At this time.
Almost everyone was under this haze.
Coupled with the death of Genji.
The Kirigakure ninjas were furious for a moment, but they did not dare to say anything. All of their eyes were focused on Aoba, and no one dared to act rashly.
"Now, I will give you three days."
"During this period of time, you should think about it carefully."
"It's best to retreat within three days."
"Otherwise..."
"Don't blame me for being rude to you, Kirigakure!"
Aoba knew that the atmosphere was almost over. Now that it was time to end, he immediately left these words and disappeared in a flash.
Of course.
He didn't want the meaning in his words to be achieved.
Instead, he wanted this matter to continue to deteriorate.
He was stimulating the anger and courage in these people's hearts.
The more he wanted them to surrender and pretend to be grandchildren, the angrier these people would feel.
Swish!
Aoba's figure flashed and instantly disappeared.
None of the Kirigakure ninjas at the scene moved to stop Aoba. It was not that they did not want to stop him, but they did not dare to.
After all, Genji was already dead.
Moreover, the Third Mizukage had not spoken yet.
They did not dare to act rashly.
After Aoba left, the Kirigakure ninjas at the scene focused their eyes on their Third Mizukage. Their eyes were flashing with anger and doubt, but they still wait for their Third Mizukage's orders.
"Mizukage-sama..."
The Kirigakure ninjas let out a strong doubt. They were somewhat uncertain about Kirigakure's future development. They did not know whether they should fight with all their might or compromise and beg for forgiveness from Kumogakure.
"Everyone."
Third Mizukage spoke slowly. His eyes were still tightly closed. Moreover, his expression had returned to normal and calm. His tone of voice was like still water, giving people a refreshing feeling.
"I know you have a lot of doubts about the village's decision."
"Now I can tell you very responsibly."
"This battle."
"Not only will we not withdraw."
"We have to send more ninjas."
"We have to win."
"And we have to win beautifully!"
The Third Mizukage said loudly. His voice was very loud and he spoke slowly, enough for the surrounding Kirigakure ninjas to clearly hear every word he said.
"OH! OH! OH!"
When the Kirigakure ninjas heard their Mizukage's words, they immediately cheered loudly. Everyone had an excited expression on their faces. After all, after experiencing such a thing, they hated the Third Raikage and did not have a good impression of him.
They were all ninjas.
Ninjas could endure for the sake of the big picture.
However, they were also bloodthirsty.
Now that their Mizukage had clearly told them that they did not need to endure, then who among them was not afraid of death? As long as they were on the battlefield, they would definitely fight Kumogakure to their heart's content.
"Mizukage-sama, can we consider this matter again? If the Raikage dares to come here, doesn't that mean that he has victory in his hands? Should we avoid them?" One of the Kirigakure ninjas asked.
Following this person's question.
The scene immediately became quiet.
The words this person asked were also the doubts in their hearts. No one wanted to affect their Kirigakure's future because of this matter.
"This is the result of my careful consideration."
The Third Mizukage did not avoid this matter. Instead, he directly responded to this question. His closed eyes looked very calm as if there was a special magic that could make people quickly calm down and no longer be restrained by emotions. One by one, they returned to their rational thinking.
"Now, Iwagakure is fighting with Konohagakure."
"The situation in the ninja world is complicated."
"We can't just listen to what the Raikage says. We have to see the current situation with our own eyes."
"We need to figure out whether this is the case or not."
"Then..."
"The first thing we need to think about is..."
"Why did Raikage do this!"
The Third Mizukage said one sentence after another. He used his own method to shift everyone's attention to him, allowing everyone's thoughts to follow his thoughts.
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"Why the Raikage needed to come here personally to say this?"
"It is indeed very strange!"
"This time, Raikage came very abnormally!"
"..."
The people at the scene all realized these questions. Everyone frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. Their heads were filled with question marks. These question marks were brought up by the Third Mizukage. If it was anyone else, they would not have drawn out their curiosity in such a way.
All of a sudden.
Everyone had already realized the problem.
"Genji-sama is indeed dead!"
The Third Mizukage continued to speak. He directly took out one of the angry points of the crowd, which was Genji.
Genji was highly respected in the Country of Water.
There was no one who could replace him.
But...
In fact, there was a little secret joy in his heart.
Genji's death.
For him.
It was not completely a bad thing.
It would indeed cause the Country of Water to lose a heavyweight backbone and also cause Kirigakure to lose a person who could make a final decision in many decision-making matters.
However.
At the same time.
The Third Mizukage's authority was directly magnified.
His decision would no longer be restricted by Genji. There would not be a person above him who could speak.
Moreover, that person could easily veto his arrangements with a single sentence.
How could he allow others to snore on the side of the couch?
The Third Mizukage respected Genji very much. However, he had tolerated Genji for a long time. He had even pretended to be indifferent to political affairs most of the time. However, it was useless because his concern was useless. Many decisions were taken by Genji.
The more he acted like this.
The more he lost his will to fight.
Now that Genji was dead, he found that the Kirigakure ninjas at the scene had focused their attention on him again, waiting for him to make the decision for them.
This feeling was really too good!
The Third Mizukage enjoyed it very much. If he was given another chance to choose, he still did not want Genji to live.
Feeling the attention of the Kirigakure ninjas around him, the Third Mizukage still maintained his calm expression, but the lines on his face were indeed much brighter.
"Genji-sama's death is indeed related to Raikage!"
"Raikage has just proved this point in front of all of us!"
"The Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu that Genji-sama practicing was deliberately given to him by Raikage after he reversed the content, causing Genji-sama's blood to reverse and die."
"But then again..."
"I don't think Raikage came here to kill Genji-sama!"
"Genji-sama's death in Raikage's plan should only be a coincidence. It could even be said to be an accident."
"If I'm not wrong..."
"The Raikage used water-release ninjutsu in front of Genji-sama, not to anger Genji-sama to death, but to show off his powerful fighting strength. He has already told us that the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu we rely on has no effect at all."
The Third Mizukage said a series of words that made everyone feel unbelievable. If he did not say these words, these people would never dare to think about it, and they would not dare to believe it.
But...
Now hearing these words.
It made them feel that it made a lot of sense.
It seemed that this was the case in the first place.
All of a sudden.
Everyone nodded.
Their thoughts were still following the Third Mizukage's train of thought.
No one raised any objections.
This scene was a scene that the Third Mizukage dreamed of. He didn't know how long it had been since he felt such a unique feeling.
There was no longer Genji!
This feeling was really too comfortable!
This was also why he did not react too strongly when Genji died in front of him. Raikage had done the best thing for him by accident.
"According to the above analysis..."
"Genji-sama was practicing the wrong Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. His death was already destined. It just happened that it happened just now."
"I didn't say that for Raikage."
"We should separate these two things when we judge this matter. This way, we won't be blinded by what happened and lose our judgment."
"In this way..."
"Assuming there is no Genji-sama appearance, there will be no Genji-sama's death."
"In that case, Raikage won't use the ninjutsu on Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu, and he won't tell me about the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. He will just use his Lightning Chakra Mode and come to Kirigakure alone to tell us about those threats just now."
"Here comes the question."
"Why did he do this?"
Third Mizukage was in a very good mood. It was precisely because of this good mood that his thoughts became incomparably fast and his thought process became abnormally smooth.
The Kirigakure ninjas at the scene followed Third Mizukage's thoughts and also thought of this topic. However, they still did not know what was going on.
"I understand."
After pondering for a moment, the Third Mizukage slowly nodded. His voice was not very loud, but it pulled everyone's attention back to him.
"When Raikage came here, he did not kill a single person. He only knocked out two people and was only showing off in front of us. However, he did not really fight. Do you know what this means?"
The Third Mizukage threw out another question.
However, he did not give the Kirigakure ninjas enough time to think.
Thus, he answered the question himself.
"The reason is very simple!"
"Raikage is not here to start a war!"
"He is here to seek peace!"
The moment the Third Mizukage said this, the Kirigakure ninjas on the scene immediately gasped and not daring to believe their ears.
They had all experienced what had just happened.
Was this conclusion that a normal person could come up with?
But...
They just couldn't find any problems.
After all, they had been following the Third Mizukage's line of thought. It seemed that this was all true.
But this thought really made them feel scared!
"Raikage doesn't want the war to continue!"
"Otherwise, he doesn't need to talk so much nonsense!"
"He can lead a ninja troop to launch a surprise attack on our Kirigakure!"
"With his strength, he will definitely set off a bloody storm when he has already come here!"
"But he didn't do so!"
"He only continued to flaunt his dominance using words. His mouth is very powerful and his body is very honest!"
"As for why he did this..."
"If I'm not wrong, the current Kumogakure is under a lot of pressure when facing Iwagakure. The battle between us and them involves too much of their energy, making them unable to concentrate on fighting as a result." The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at n(0)vel(b)(j)(n).
"Because of this reason."
"We just needed to attack Kumogakure more forcefully!"
The Third Mizukage's thoughts gradually came to a complete circle. He came to his own conclusion and found the most reasonable point in these judgments.
Of course.
He did not think that the Third Raikage was a fake one.
After all, the ninja world did not have such a powerful camouflage technique. Not only could it be disguised in appearance, but it could also be maintained while in Lightning Chakra Node.
It was impossible to do this!
"Right now, there are only two paths in front of us!"
"One is to fight to the end with Kumogakure!"
"The other is to negotiate with Kumogakure!"
"Then why should I choose to fight with Kumogakure?"
The Third Mizukage still used his unique way of asking questions, bringing the thoughts of the people around him into his train of thought.
"If we negotiate for peace, then there will be no more battles between us and Kumogakure. This way, we may benefit on the surface, but Kumogakure is really the biggest beneficiary. They can focus on fighting against Iwagakure, and all the sense of urgency will disappear."
"If we, Kirigakure, have not launched this war against Kumogakure and still have an alliance with Kumogakure, then there is no problem."
"But a damaged mirror cannot be fixed like before!"
"Once Kumogakure recovers for a period of time, they will use all their energy to deal with us, Kirigakure."
"When that time comes..."
"We, Kirigakure, will be passive!"
When the Third Mizukage said this, his tone paused. He knew that the people at the scene had already thought of this. Everyone knew what the consequences would be, so he did not continue to speak in this place.
"So..."
"There is only one way in front of us."
"That is to defeat Kumogakure!"
"Fight hard!"
"Bring out the reputation of our Kirigakure in one fell swoop!"
"Let our position in the Five Major Ninja Villages not appear so humble!"
The Third Mizukage used his way of thinking to straighten things out. After he explained everything, he found that this was really the case.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"..."
The Kirigakure ninjas followed the Third Mizukage's line of thought. They all thought of this point. They also understood that the Third Raikage did not want to fight. Coming here looked majestic, but in fact, he was just fierce but weak. He did not dare to kill anyone easily, otherwise, it will start a war.
As for why he didn't say something soft.
From their point of view, they directly think that Raikage's character likes to pretend to be aggressive, and it was easy for them to find flaws if he speaks soft words, so he did such a contradictory thing just now.
Thinking of this...
The confidence of the Kirigakure ninjas became stronger.
The more afraid the other side was, the more excited they were. The more unyielding the other side was, the more they wanted to see the other side struggling under them.
This could stimulate the feeling of their most primitive conquest.
"Pass my order!"
The Third Mizukage immediately spoke. His tone was no longer gentle but revealed an unquestionable dignity. If not for the fact that he couldn't speak before, he wouldn't be willing to be a gentle Mizukage.
"Gather Kirigakure ninja army immediately in half an hour and launch an all-out attack on Kumogakure!"

Chapter 454: Namikaze Minato!
Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 454 Namikaze Minato!
Five days later.
Aoba sat in the Anbu dormitory.
At this time, his clone's memories had all returned to his body. Everything that these clones had done had been transmitted to his brain.
"Now everything is ready..."
Aoba knew very well what kind of things he had done. These things were enough to make the ninja world in a chaotic situation.
It was now the Third Ninja World War.
Iwagakure and Konohagakure's ninjas fought in a bloody battle on the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Earth. People died and the surrounding trees were watered with blood every day.
The more the ninjas fought, the fiercer they became.
It was already a situation where they would not stop until one of them was annihilated.
They could even do anything for victory.
Apart from that.
After Iwagakure dispatched a large number of ninjas, they encountered a ruthless backstab from Sunagakure. A large number of puppets entered their village, causing great harm.
There were not many deaths.
Only...
Many of Iwagakure's ninjas were injured.
They were very disgusted by Sunagakure's actions.
Even the Tsuchikage personally fought back against the invading puppets.
But...
Something that puzzled Onoki appeared.
After these puppets were defeated, they did not see any shadow of a puppet master. Those who controlled the puppets seemed to have disappeared along with the puppets that were defeated.
This was very strange!
Not only did Iwagakure have such an encounter, but Sunagakure was also the same. When their ninjas were sent out to attack Konohagakure, their village directly encountered Iwagakure's backstab.
Sunagakure was in a much worse state than Iwagakure.
You have to know...
Sunagakure had once ambushed Konohagakure.
Moreover.
In Aoba's knowledge.
Only when it came to the generation of Gaara and Naruto did they feel a little better. As for the past, it had always been Sunagakure and Konohagakure forming an alliance, but in the end, they tore up this alliance.
In the face of such a village.
Aoba did not leave any face.
He controlled earth-release ninjutsu when he was in the desert and launched an attack on Sunagakure, causing Sunagakure's wall to collapse.
At this point.
Both Sunagakure and Iwagakure had established a conflict that was difficult to resolve. They hated each other to the bone.
On the other side.
Kumogakure.
In Raikage's office.
The Third Raikage looked at the scroll sent by the ninja on the front line and frowned. His eyes flashed with doubt.
"Is Kirigakure crazy?"
There were a lot of question marks on Third Raikage's head. Since he became Raikage, no, to be precise, since he remembered things, Kirigakure had never been so crazy.
"This number..."
"All the ninjas in their village have come out!"
"Did we, Kumogakure, dig their ancestor's graves?"
"Why did they fight so fiercely?"
The Third Raikage was completely baffled. He did not do anything to Kirigakure at all. Previously, he had just threatened when he was in Konohagakure and did not really do anything excessive to Kirigakure.
Why did it look like...
It was as if there was some deep hatred.
"Raikage-sama, what should we do? If we do not go all out, there is a possibility that the border will not be able to hold on." A half-knelt dark-skinned female ninja asked.
"Even if you can't resist, you have to!"
The Third Raikage said in a deep voice. His eyes flashed with a faint light, and his mind kept echoing what the Third Tsuchikage said when he came here. After that, he said coldly, "Right now, we can only mobilize this much power. No matter what method we use, we must hold Kirigakure back."
"Yes..."
This female ninja said helplessly. Even though their Kumogakure ninjas were powerful and all of them were proficient in ninjutsu, they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
She could not understand at all.
As long as their Third Raikage sent out a few more people.
Soon, they could solve Kirigakure's problem.
Why do they have to hold on so hard?
For what?
However.
She did not ask much.
After answering, she left directly.
"Father."
At this time, a young man came from behind. He had an extremely strong body at such a young age. His dark skin was very similar to that of the Third Raikage. He was the future Fourth Raikage.
"Do you feel anything?" The Third Raikage asked.
"Yes." The young man nodded.
"Tell me." The corner of Third Raikage's mouth curled into a smile. He had allowed his son to follow by his side because he wanted to nurture him as the Fourth Raikage.
"In fact, the problem just now was very easy to solve. We can send about two-thirds of our forces to resist Kirigakure. As long as we send more ninjas, we don't even need to send all of them out to quickly resolve the battle. Why didn't we do this?" The young man asked doubtfully.
"Good question!" The Third Raikage nodded. Although he usually did not manage political affairs, he was a Raikage after all. Many things were involved, and he was not a reckless man who had no strength. After that, he said, "The current situation in the ninja world is too subtle. Iwagakure's focus seems to be on Konohagakure, but if we shift the strength of our defense to Kirigakure, we will probably encounter Iwagakure's sneak attack."
"Is Iwagakure's spies so well-informed?" The young man immediately thought of the old man from that day, and his heart trembled slightly.
"We have to be on guard!" The Third Raikage was like a frightened bird. He did not have Hari's ability to judge. He did not know if what the Tsuchikage said was true or false. It was this kind of uncertainty that made him unable to relax at all.
"Father, what if we quickly gather all the ninjas at Kirigakure battlefield and immediately end the battle with lightning speed? This way, we can use our remaining strength to only defend against Iwagakure. Wouldn't this make us no longer be attacked from both sides?" The young man could not help but ask again.
"Son." The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Nôv3l--Biin.
The Third Raikage stared deeply at the young man and said earnestly, "Never bet on any fart when you have diarrhea, because you will lose badly."
"What do you mean?" The young man asked in a daze. He still did not understand.
"Kirigakure has always been cautious. Now that they suddenly launched such a fierce attack on us, it is very likely that they planned it with Iwagakure. If we rashly gamble, we may end up suffering a crushing defeat. When Iwagakure ninjas rush from the back, we will all be finished!" The Third Raikage took a deep breath. The current situation was very abnormal. The more abnormal this kind of thing was, the more he felt like walking on thin ice.
"Father, aren't you thinking too much? According to the information we have obtained, Iwagakure is now unable to protect itself. Not only did they suffer heavy casualties in the battle with Konohagakure, but they were also attacked by Sunagakure. There is no way to sneak attack us. " The young man said doubtfully. In fact, what he said was no longer limited to the truth. The current Iwagakure really did not have the ability to attack Kumogakure anymore.
"The information may not be true!"
The Third Raikage shook his head without hesitation. His instinct told him that there was no such coincidence.
Why did the ninja world immediately become chaotic after the Third Tsuchikage found him?
He felt that the whole world was scheming against him.
Kirigakure's attack was fake.
It was also fake for Iwagakure to be attacked.
And...
The battle between Iwagakure and Konohagakure could also all be an act for him to see.
As long as he mobilized the remaining ninjas in the village, then Kumogakure might face a combined attack from the remaining major ninja villages.
He did not want to see such a scene.
So...
Even if it was just a fart.
He could not gamble.
Because he could not afford to lose.
"This..."
The young man looked at his father's self-opinionated appearance and understood that his father had already made up his mind. No matter what he said, it would be useless. No one could persuade his father in this state.
"I understand."
The young man nodded and put on a look of enjoyment. After all, there was no other way apart from this.
...
Konohagakure.
In the Hokage's office.
"Danzo, what should we do now? The front line is about to collapse. We were just ambushed by Sunagakure. Many ninjas have been injured and lost their fighting strength. If this continues, I am afraid that Iwagakure will attack the village." Hiruzen said with a face full of worry. At this time, he was really afraid. The development of the matter was too fast. His Hokage position was already in danger.
"In the current situation, we have to send more ninjas," Danzo said helplessly. After the injury and the treatment, his temperament changed a lot. He understood that his life was now in the hands of someone else, so he became extra careful when he spoke. He did not want to say anything wrong that would cause his life. After being injured, he cherished his life even more.
"There are no more ninjas!" Hiruzen was worried. He did not care about the matter of Konoha White Fang stealing merit points. Right now, protecting the village was the most important thing.
"Yes." Danzo nodded. He thought about it and felt that the person wearing the mask was not that person, so he dared to speak.
"Who?" Hiruzen was stunned for a moment. He was the Hokage of the village, and he was very clear about the current situation of the village. Konoha Hospital was already overcrowded. He didn't even have Hokage's Anbu by his side. The remaining was for him to personally go on stage.
"Your student, Orochimaru." Danzo said in a low voice.
"Orochimaru?" The color of Hiruzen's face changed even more. He was not only worried about Konoha White Fang stealing the merit points but also worried about Orochimaru. After all, the latter was also a strong competitor for the Hokage position. But he still said, "What can he do by himself?"
"Although he is alone, his strength is comparable to hundreds of ninjas. It is very difficult for Iwagakure to match up to his strength." Danzo said seriously. He recommended Orochimaru at this time because he was actually making arrangements for his future affairs.
"This..." Hiruzen immediately hesitated.
"In addition to this method, we can only recruit students from the Ninja School," Danzo said helplessly. Right now, he had no way to give any good ideas. There were only so many ninjas in each village because it was very slow to train them. However, their death was fast. At this speed, the number of ninjas in the village left would not be enough, and would be exhausted soon. He did not have the ability to make beans into soldiers, so how could he have a better way?
"Students cannot be allowed to participate in the war unless it is absolutely necessary. The public opinion in the village will change resulting in me taking responsibility and resigning." Hiruzen directly shook his head. As the Hokage of the village, he was too clear about the consequences of doing so. If he used the students, it would be equivalent to putting the students in a place of life and death. Even mature ninjas might not be able to come back alive, let alone the children in the village. The casualties would definitely fill up his negative information.
"Hiruzen, why are you so hesitant? Now, make a decision immediately. Our top priority is to protect the village first even if you have to take responsibility and resign as a result. If the village is gone, what is the point of you being the Hokage?" Danzo was still helpless.
"There must be a better way..."
Hiruzen frowned. He quickly thought about it. He did not want Orochimaru to go to the battlefield. He liked this student very much and even give some preference for this student. However, deep in his heart, he was still somewhat afraid of this student of his.
In this student's eyes...
He could not see the light of the will of fire.
Once he releases him.
He might fall into a situation that he could not control.
"Actually, I feel that letting Orochimaru go is a better result. Because of Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya might also be attracted. This way, we will gather the Sannin again. With the three of them, we can instantly turn the situation around." Danzo said again. He had his own plans in his heart. As long as he let Orochimaru go to the battlefield, the follow-up would be much more convenient for him.
"You mean that Orochimaru can bring Jiraiya to the battlefield..."
Hiruzen silently repeated. When he mentioned Jiraiya's name, his eyes immediately widened, and his eyes flashed with hope.
"That's right!"
"I told you I seemed to have overlooked something!"
"Jiraiya!"
"That's right, it's Jiraiya!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Hiruzen suddenly burst out laughing. There was no longer the haze from before. He seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Hiruzen, Jiraiya's whereabouts are unknown. We can't find him at all. If he is willing to help the village, he probably comes out long ago." Danzo felt that Hiruzen's brain was broken.
"No, no, no..."
Hiruzen shook his head again and again, his eyes shining with confidence.
"I'm not looking for Jiraiya."
"It's his student..."
"Namikaze Minato!"
Chapter 455: Black Zetsu
At this time, Hiruzen suddenly thought of Minato, who had already gone to Mount Myoboku. It had been a long time since he last saw him.
There had been too many things that had happened during this period of time.
He had been busy dealing with all kinds of things and had almost forgotten about Minato.
"Right now, Minato is still in Mount Myoboku. I wonder what kind of strength he has now. It is time to call him back."
Hiruzen said in a deep voice.
He felt that Minato was a better choice than Orochimaru.
Now, there was already a Konoha White Fang in the front line. After this battle, he would definitely accumulate great merit and popularity.
He absolutely can not let Orochimaru go out.
Minato was young...
There was no threat.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen was absolutely sure that Minato was the best candidate. No one was more suitable than him.
"Hiruzen..."
Danzo took a deep look at Hiruzen, his eyes flashing with helplessness. After that, he shook his head and said, "Are you sure you want to play tricks at this time?"
"Danzo, what do you mean?" When Hiruzen heard Danzo's words, he was stunned for a moment. In fact, there were many things that he had not thought through clearly. He just felt that this was the best choice at the moment.
"Do you think that Minato is not a threat?" Danzo's single eye that was exposed on the outside stared at Hiruzen as if he had seen through all of Hiruzen's thoughts.
"En..." Hiruzen nodded without hesitation.
"You are wrong!" Danzo said lightly.
"Do you mean that Minato also needs to be on guard?" Hiruzen was stunned. He felt that this matter was already beyond his understanding. After all, Minato had only been gone for a few days. Could there be something special about Mount Myoboku that allowed Minato to surpass Konoha White Fang in a short period of time?
"I'm not saying that Minato is a big threat. I agree with your idea. That is, he does not have much influence. He is not a match for Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo. But what you have to consider is to disperse Hatake Sakumo's power, not letting him continue to lead alone." Danzo said his reason.
"Danzo, I don't understand what you mean..." Hiruzen was confused. Before he could react, he had a feeling that he was about to be entangled by Danzo.
"Hu..."
Danzo took a deep breath. He felt that Hiruzen's way of thinking was very rigid and he did not know how to be flexible. Even if he thought of some ideas, they were not completed well.
For example, what he thought of now.
"If you think like that..."
Danzo slowly opened his mouth and began to correct Hiruzen's thoughts. After all, this is related to Konohagakure and their future rights.
"If you let Minato go to the front line, he almost won't have any effect. Even if his strength reaches Jonin's level, he is still just a Jonin."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"Ninja war situation would not change with just one or two Jonin!"
"Moreover, Minato might not be able to improve much during this period of time."
"This way."
"If you recall Minato and let him go to the front line, not only will you not be able to change the war situation, but you will also let Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, continue to take the limelight!"
"This is a mistake in the decision-making!"
Danzo said one sentence after another. His current idea was not only to help Hiruzen keep the Hokage position but also some more important things, such as saving Konohagakure.
After all, this was a ninja war.
Whoever wins and loses.
Everything was hard to predict.
No one could rashly give an answer.
"I understand what you said. If we can send Orochimaru, would it be better?" Hiruzen frowned and said coldly. He had already seen that Danzo still wanted him to send Orochimaru to the front line. This made him have no choice but to doubt Danzo's purpose.
"Of course!"
Danzo immediately nodded, his eyes flashing with wisdom.
"Orochimaru is stronger than Minato. He is not a simple Jonin. You know more about his strength than I do!"
"It is because of Orochimaru's strong strength that he will achieve great results after joining the war. To a certain extent, it is more likely to change the situation than Minato."
"The most important thing is..."
"After the Second Ninja World War, Orochimaru has become very famous. He is one of the few ninjas in the village who can be compared to Konoha White Fang."
"One mountain can not have two tigers!"
"After Orochimaru joins the battle, he will inevitably disperse Konoha White Fang's ruling power."
"In this way..."
"Not only can we send Orochimaru to win the war, but he can also share Konoha White Fang's achievements on the battlefield so that they can restrict each other."
"Your Hokage position will be stabilized!"
Danzo analyzed it in an orderly manner. What he said was very beneficial to Hiruzen. He did not want any of the people between Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru to take the Hokage position. He hoped that he would take the position.
"I understand what you mean."
Hiruzen nodded heavily. However, he did not immediately give a conclusion. Instead, he looked deeply at Danzo and said slowly, "I will consider your proposal."
Danzo narrowed his eyes and looked at Hiruzen.
Gradually.
He discovered something very important.
After he was injured this time, his power of speech had obviously decreased. In the past, whatever he said to Hiruzen, the latter would respect his opinion.
Now...
Obviously, Hiruzen did not trust him that much.
"I understand."
Danzo nodded and did not say anything more. He turned and left the office.
After that.
Only Hiruzen was left in the office.
"Minato?"
"Or Orochimaru?"
"At this critical juncture."
"Who should I trust?"
Hiruzen fell into hesitation. He had always been indecisive and did not have his own judgment in many things, or he did not have the time to make a judgment.
This kind of thing was often helped by Danzo.
But now, he felt that Danzo seemed to be selfish. What Danzo wanted to do was not like what he said.
...
Aoba lay on the bed in the Anbu dormitory, enjoying a leisurely time.
Looking at the whole ninja world.
Five Major Ninja Villages had already been implicated, and there were different levels of battles going on all over the place. It looked very intense, but there was not much pain.
Especially the people on Konohagakure's side.
They had not felt the pain yet.
How could this highlight Minato's power?
Aoba thought silently in his heart.
"Huh?"
All of a sudden.
Aoba thought of something.
He felt a strange fluctuation outside of Konohagakure.
This fluctuation was extremely weak.
If he hadn't been monitoring Konohagakure's movements and mobilizing all his perception abilities, he might not have been able to sense this little fluctuation at all.
"What is that thing?"
Aoba was slightly stunned for a moment. This was the first time he felt such an existence. It had life fluctuations, and he could feel that it was a living thing, but there was no chakra fluctuation at all.
One must know that this was the world of ninjas.
Even if it was an ordinary person.
There was chakra in their bodies.
As long as there was physical energy and spiritual energy, then there would be chakra.
However, many people did not have the qualifications to be a ninja, and could not use chakra to cast ninjutsu and so on.
"Let's go take a look."
Aoba vaguely guessed something in his heart. He moved his mind, wanting to prove his thoughts. After that, he immediately began to form hand seals.
Bang!
A shadow clone that looked exactly like him immediately appeared in Aoba's room.
"You stay here."
Aoba said to the shadow clone. The situation outside was a little special. He needed to face these things personally. This way, he would have more time to react and could do more things.
If he were to hand these over to a shadow clone, then he could only wait for a result.
If he had something more important to do, then giving it to the shadow clone would be okay.
But right now, he was just waiting.
Since that was the case, it would be better for him to personally make a trip.
Instantly.
With a thought, Aoba immediately executed Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), communicating with the Flying Thunder God Formula that was closest to that location and disappeared in a flash.
Flip Flip Flip...
After Aoba's body reappeared, papers rolled up around him, directly changing his image and turning him into the appearance of Nagato years later.
It was the identity he had used before.
Uzumaki Nagato.
Aoba casually picked up a mask and put it on his face. This was double insurance for his identity. This could ensure that no accidents would happen.
When Aoba did these actions, he did not stop at all. He continued to dash in the direction of the fluctuation at a terrifying speed.
In the process of this action.
Aoba took advantage of Chokeijūgan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) to reduce the weight of his body to a large extent to ensure that his body did not make any sound.
After he arrived at the location, Aoba's mind moved and his line of sight was fixed on a tree not far away.
It was indeed him!
Within Aoba's line of sight.
On the branch of the tree stood a black figure with golden eyes. He was staring at Konohagakure as if he was investigating the situation.
This person was Black Zetsu!
Aoba did not know why Black Zetsu stood outside Konohagakure and did not enter directly. Moreover, from his posture, it seemed that he was monitoring something.
At this moment.
Black Zetsu seemed to feel Aoba's gaze.
He immediately turned to look in Aoba's direction.
At this moment.
The two looked at each other.
They both saw each other's eyes.
"..."
Black Zetsu was speechless. He felt as if someone was looking at him just now. He instinctively looked in that direction, but there really was a person. This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Bi(j)n.
However, Black Zetsu only had one impression of that person.
Black eyes.
Nothing else could be seen clearly.
Without any hesitation, Black Zetsu immediately controlled his body and jumped onto the ground, ready to drill into the ground.
At the moment, he had not officially appeared in front of Madara.
Therefore, he could not borrow White Zetsu.
He could only use his own abilities.
But...
He had no abilities and only could run right now.
"Black Zetsu!"
Aoba bluntly called out Black Zetsu's name. After that, he leaped up and his speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Black Zetsu.
He had waited for Black Zetsu for a long time.
Now, they finally met.
Since that was the case.
Then it was impossible for him to let Black Zetsu escape.
There could only be one big boss behind the scenes in this world, and that was him, not Black Zetsu.
As long as there was no Black Zetsu to make trouble.
In that case, things at the back would all become simpler.
"???"
A lot of question marks appeared on Black Zetsu's head. He had no idea why this person could recognize him. Right now, he did not have a formal identity.
But he could not stop.
The more he was recognized.
The more dangerous it was.
He did not care about the gains and losses right now.
Ever since he was thrown out by his mother, he had been working hard to save his mother. Even he did not remember how much time had passed.
In other words...
He was already used to failure.
Even if he did not succeed this time, it did not matter. He just needed to find a place to hide and appear in the next era.
"You can't run away."
Aoba's faint voice suddenly sounded in Black Zetsu's ears. Following that, the earth trembled as if the ground here had collapsed.
Rumble...
The ground was shattered into pieces, and one could clearly see Black Zetsu who had just entered. Before he could escape, he was once again illuminated by the light.
In the middle of the crater.
Aoba still maintained the posture of clenching his fists.
Just now.
He used the Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique plus Chakra Enhance Strength and opened the ground with a punch, leaving Black Zetsu in a state of no hiding.
"Seal!"
Aoba said indifferently. Just as he finished speaking, black paper tags suddenly appeared in all of Black Zetsu's escape path.
"You... you... When did you leave the seal?"
Black Zetsu was stunned for a moment. After that, he no longer hesitated and quickly ran outside.
Only.
No matter how fast he was running, he would be able to run.
It couldn't be compared to the speed at which the seals were expanding.
Black lines instantly sealed the entire space, trapping Black Zetsu inside and preventing him from breaking out of the encirclement in a short period of time.
"What kind of seal is this?!"
Black Zetsu was stunned. In his impression, the only people who could use such a seal were Uzumaki Mito and some Uzumaki Clan.
But the Uzumaki Clan had already been exterminated!
How did such a terrifying sealing technique be released?
"I already said that you won't be able to escape."
Aoba took a step forward, seemingly crossing through space and directly arriving in front of Black Zetsu. After that, he raised his hand and directly grabbed Black Zetsu's head.

Chapter 456: My Name Is Otsutsuki Toneri!
At this moment.
Black Zetsu was extremely scared!
Ever since Otsutsuki Hagoromo died, this was the first time he had encountered this kind of situation.
His means of concealment could be said to be unparalleled in the world.
Even strong people like Indra and Madara, neither of them had discovered his traces.
But...
At this time.
He was actually discovered by this unknown youth.
This kind of thing was hard for him to accept!
Not only that.
He was also trapped by the other party's tyrannical seal technique here.
There was no chakra in his body. He could drill through the ground, but he had no way to pass through the terrifying seal here.
"Not good!"
Black Zetsu was secretly shocked. At this time, he had already realized the seriousness of the problem. It was rare in his life that he felt that he had encountered a dangerous situation, and he had a feeling that he might overturn the car.
He was just here to see what was going on with Konohagakure!
In the past, he had also entered Konohagakure even when Hashirama and Madara were there, but none of them discovered him.
Until Uzumaki Mito set up a perception barrier around Konohagakure...
He knew that Konohagakure had already put on a cover.
It was like an invincible membrane with the ability to perceive intruders as long as it was touched.
Its perception ability was so strong that he can't come in and out at will like before.
Unless...
Unless it was absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, every time he came to Konohagakure, he would look from outside the village and would not easily break through that layer of membrane. After all, the people in the village would sense it.
However.
Black Zetsu had never expected this.
He had just arrived here and had yet to see anything when he was already trapped by another type of barrier.
Moreover.
The person who trapped him.
He actually wanted to grab his head.
Black Zetsu reacted almost instantly. He immediately controlled his body and leaned backward to avoid the hand.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Nôv3l--Biin.
"It has already come to this point. Do you still think you can escape?"
Seeing Black Zetsu retreat, the corner of Aoba's mouth behind the mask slightly curled up. After he came to the ninja world, he thought about how he would meet Black Zetsu.
However, he did not expect it to be this way.
Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!
Just as Aoba finished speaking, the barrier that had spread out in the surroundings began to gather toward him at an extremely terrifying speed.
This barrier was like a prison cell.
It trapped both Aoba and Black Zetsu here.
This made it so that the area that Black Zetsu could dodge became smaller and smaller. There was no way for him to completely dodge and even dodged Aoba's hand.
"What are you doing?"
Black Zetsu asked coldly. This was the first time he had been forced into such a situation. His golden eyes stared fixedly into Aoba's eyes. Even so, he still couldn't figure out this person's identity.
"Play with you."
There was still a smile on Aoba's face, but his smile was still covered by the mask. As he spoke, his right hand suddenly landed on Black Zetsu's head, making contact with Black Zetsu's head.
Hum!
Aoba's body suddenly shook.
Immediately after.
Memories flooded his mind.
These memories.
It was all Black Zetsu's memories.
It was just that.
These memories were too huge.
At this moment, his head felt like it was swelling.
It was too big!
It was too bloated!
Under such a charge, Aoba instantly stopped moving.
Black Zetsu saw this opportunity and immediately crawled onto Aoba, fusing with him.
At this moment.
Black substance seemed to appear on Aoba's body, occupying half of his body and starting to control his body.
"I want to see."
"Who are you?"
"How dare you do such a thing to me!"
"Unforgivable!"
Black Zetsu controlled Aoba's right hand and slowly bent it toward the mask. He was very angry. After all, he had lived for so long and had never seen anyone treat him like this.
At that moment just now.
He even felt a very strong sense of danger.
It was as if the heavy responsibility of rescuing his mother was about to end, and there was no way to continue.
However.
At this moment.
He found that Aoba had stopped moving.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not move him at all, as if he was attached to a statue.
At the same time.
A crisp electronic sound rang in Aoba's mind.
"Ding Dong!"
"Memory Reading Succesful!"
"Triggered Special Condition: Reading Black Zetsu's memories!"
"Reward: Wood Release Bloodline Limit!"
After the clear electronic prompt sounded through his mind, Aoba felt a mysterious power surging toward his body.
Almost in an instant.
He discovered that he had mastered many skills.
This was something he had never known before.
Wood Release Bloodline Limit!
It was the same ability as the First Hokage Senju Hashirma!
Moreover.
He now had a feeling that he could use it as he pleased.
It seemed that as long as he wanted to, he could easily use wood release. This was an extremely indescribable feeling, making him feel that his strength had completed an advancement.
"Hu..."
At this moment, Aoba could not help but take a deep breath. He was very clear about the meaning of the Wood Release Bloodline Limit. That was the capital of the First Hokage!
Now, he not only had Sage Body.
He also obtained the Wood Release Bloodline Limit.
He could say without any hesitation...
His strength had already surpassed Senju Hashirama.
"Black Zetsu, thank you!"
Aoba was only shocked for a moment before he immediately recovered. This was not the first time he had obtained something from the system. With the Sage Body he had obtained on the first day, he would not feel so surprised if he was given anything extraordinary again.
The Wood Release Bloodline Limit was very strong.
However, he would not use it as a regular technique.
After all, this technique's reputation was too strong.
As long as he used the wood release, it would immediately cause a sensation in the ninja world. After all, the last ninja who used the wood release was the First Hokage
At this moment.
Orochimaru had yet to cultivate Yamato, an existence that could use wood release.
As a result, he was the only one who could use wood release.
Even if he could run away and his identity would not be discovered.
But as long as he used wood release in the future, he would be recognized as that person in the past who use it. As long as he was exposed once, everything he had done before would be linked to his name.
So...
He still had to use it carefully!
Aoba couldn't think of any occasion where he had to use the wood release technique. He could handle most of the situations without the wood release technique, so he would have to wait and see.
"Who... Who... Who... Who are you?"
After hearing Aoba's words, Black Zetsu immediately widened his eyes in surprise. He could pat his chest and say that there was no second person in the world who knew that he was Black Zetsu.
He had not officially stepped onto the stage yet.
After his mother throw him out, he had been hiding in the dark.
He completely concealed his movement.
But now, he was actually called out by someone else other than him!
This was a result that he could not accept.
"Who I am is not important..."
Aoba deliberately dragged out his voice. He wanted to compete with Black Zetsu a long time ago. After all, it was just the two of them who were behind the scenes at present.
"The important thing is..."
"I know who you are!"
"Are you surprised?"
Aoba said meaningfully. After patting Black Zetsu's head, he did not do anything to Black Zetsu. The reason was very simple. It was no longer needed.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Black Zetsu's face, which was so dark that no one could see his face, seemed to have become even darker. His golden eyes were cold and suffused with powerless killing intent. After all, even if he wanted to kill Aoba, he would not be able to do so. He did not have the strength to do so.
"Didn't you want to save your mother?"
Aoba did not beat around the bush with Black Zetsu. To deal with this kind of old fox, he had to directly expose the most unspeakable secret in the other party's heart. That way, he would be able to achieve the best effect. Otherwise, the other party would not know how much you knew at all. They would constantly argue to find an opportunity to make a comeback.
Aoba did not want to give Black Zetsu this opportunity.
Of course.
Black Zetsu looked dark.
But in front of Aoba, he was like an invisible person.
Aoba's consciousness contained the memories that Black Zetsu had experienced for a long time. He hadn't had the time to read these memories, but just based on his understanding of Black Zetsu in the anime, it was enough to play with Black Zetsu.
"You..."
Black Zetsu's eyes widened. He thought that the other party was just a stumbling block for his plan, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly open his mouth and directly reveal his everything in less than two sentences.
Save his mother!
This was his ultimate goal!
Everything he did was for this goal.
This was also the biggest secret in his heart!
If it was lying to Madara or something else, he could gladly accept it. As long as his final secret was not exposed, then it would not be a problem.
But now...
This was already a big problem!
Black Zetsu felt Aoba's gaze. He faintly felt that in front of this person, it was as if he had no secrets.
This was too terrifying!
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"What do you know?"
"Don't play riddles with me!"
"You don't know anything at all!"
"You're just pretending to be mysterious!"
Black Zetsu said loudly, trying to control his emotions as much as possible and making himself appear as if nothing had been exposed.
As Black Zetsu said these words one by one.
There was a smile in Aoba's eyes as he stared silently as if he was looking at a prisoner who had been caught in action and was doing his last struggle.
"You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"
Aoba silently shook his head. Then, he nodded and said, "Alright. If you think that my words are just a riddle, then I might as well make it clearer."
As soon as Aoba said this.
The atmosphere in the barrier became even more oppressive.
Black Zetsu was completely silent.
His hands were clenched into fists.
He was already extremely nervous.
Moreover.
His mind was still reflecting.
Where was the problem?
He was the only one who knew about this. He had never told anyone. How did this person know?
Just as Black Zetsu was thinking.
Aoba slowly spoke.
"Black Zetsu."
"You have lived for so many years with one purpose."
"To save your mother..."
"Otsutsuki Kaguya!"
"Am I right?"
The moment Aoba said this, it was as if a bomb exploded in Black Zetsu's head. It caused Black Zetsu's thoughts to come to a standstill, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Mother...
Otsutsuki Kaguya!
He had even said her name!
Finished!
This person really knew!
Things had become troublesome!
Right now...
Black Zetsu was in a panic for the first time.
In the past, he was always very calm when he was executing his plan because he knew that even if the mission failed, there would be a next time.
Asura and Indra's chakra would continuously be passed down.
One day.
He would find an opportunity to combine the two people's chakra.
And Together with the 9 bijuu.
He would find an opportunity to combine the two people's chakra and together with the 9 bijuu, he would save his mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya!
On this point.
He was not worried.
After all, he could live for a long time. As long as there was enough time, he would succeed!
But now he panicked.
He was no longer calm!
His plan had been completely seen through by others...
Then...
Everything was a different matter.
"Who are you?"
Black Zetsu stared at Aoba. He did not acknowledge or deny what Aoba said. After all, no matter what kind of reaction he made, it was equivalent to admitting such a thing. Now he only wanted to know Aoba's identity.
"You asked me who I am..."
The smile on Aoba's face behind the mask rose even higher. He suddenly thought of a very interesting idea, which could give him a completely different identity.
"I am your mother..."
Aoba deliberately dragged out his voice. After he said this, his tone paused slightly, which directly frightened Black Zetsu, whose eyes were full of disbelief.
"Younger brother!"
Aoba added.
He felt that this identity made him very satisfied.
After that, he nodded again.
"That's right!"
"I am your mother's younger brother!"
"That is..."
"Your uncle!"
"My name is Otsutsuki Toneri!"
Aoba had to take out a name. However, he could not think of a name for a moment so he directly used the name of the person on the moon. In any case, the real Otsutsuki Toneri would not appear at this time.
Hearing Aoba's words...
Black Zetsu was completely shocked and dumbfounded...

Chapter 457: Are You Really My Uncle?
Aoba knew that if he wanted to say that he was related to Black Zetsu's mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya, then he had to say that he was from the Otsutsuki clan.
But...
For a moment, he could not make up a reasonable name.
The first name that come to his mind after a while was...
Otsutsuki Toneri.
When Aoba was watching anime in the modern world, he had a rather deep impression of this person. After all, he reveals the existence of Tenseigan.
So.
Aoba borrowed Toneri's name.
"Otsutsuki Toneri?"
"You are my mother's younger brother?"
"My uncle?"
"People from the Otsutsuki Clan?"
"This..."
A lot of question marks appeared on Black Zetsu's head. He was already dumbfounded by Aoba's words. He was completely dumbfounded and did not know how to describe his current mood.
Should he believe this?!
Believe it?
No matter how he thinks about it, it felt very ridiculous!
It gave off a very fake feeling!
Black Zetsu clearly felt that the masked man in front of him was talking nonsense with him!
But...
Do not believe it?
This person had unexpectedly revealed the biggest secret in his heart!
He had never told anyone such a secret.
He was completely in a state of confusion.
In a short period of time, he had lost the ability to judge, so he could not distinguish the authenticity of the words spoken by the person in front of him.
"That's right, I am your uncle. I have just arrived here not long ago. Leave the matter of saving your mother to me." Aoba said indifferently, directly saying something that startled Black Zetsu.
"You came to save my mother?" Black Zetsu did not believe Aoba's words, but he also did not completely reject them. No matter what, it still ignited a seed of hope in his heart.
"Yes." Aoba nodded.
"I don't even know what you look like. Why should I accept that you are my uncle? You should at least give me some evidence!" Black Zetsu couldn't help but say. He felt that such a problem was not too difficult. As long as this person was indeed his uncle, then it could naturally be proved.
"Children don't need to know so much about adults, they just need to be good and obedient." Aoba's tone was still indifferent.
"???"
A lot of question marks appeared on Black Zetsu's head again. He never thought that he would receive such an answer. No matter how he heard it, he felt that it was ridiculous as if he was prevailing.
"You don't have to worry about the things here. Take me to see Madara now. I want to see the Gedo Statue with my own eyes." Aoba raised his hand and patted Black Zetsu's shoulder. The moment he patted down, a stream of chakra poured into Black Zetsu's body, and immediately left a black spot on Black Zetsu's shoulder. It perfectly merged with Black Zetsu's body. It was the Flying Thunder God Formula.
"You... you... you... you actually know Uchiha Madara!" Black Zetsu was attracted by Aoba's words. He did not notice that his body had changed slightly. His heart was in an indescribable shock. After all, only he and several other White Zetsu knew about Madara. It was also a secret.
This secret was different from his mother's secret.
His mother's secret was something that no one in the ninja world knew.
But...
After all, the person in front of him was his mother's younger brother, his uncle, so knowing something about his mother might not be a big deal.
However.
Madara's matter was his plan!
He worked so hard to bring back Madara's hanging life!
Madara had never gone out since he was saved. It was impossible for others to know about this, even if that person was his uncle.
"I know."
Aoba said indifferently. He did not feel that this was a mistake at all. Before he met Black Zetsu, he had thought about many things. If he met Black Zetsu himself, there were many things to do.
Now was the time.
It could be said that...
These seemed ridiculous.
But they were all under his control!
"No, no, no, what I mean is, no one except me knows about Madara. How did you know, uncle?" Black Zetsu coldly stared at Aoba, his golden eyes flashing with caution.
"Black Zetsu, do you know the reason why you haven't succeeded for so many years?" The corner of Aoba's mouth raised again behind the mask, but his expression was covered by the mask, so it couldn't be seen at all.
"What do you mean?" Black Zetsu was completely confused by Aoba. He even felt that he should not have come. After meeting such a person, he found that everything had changed. He was a little unfamiliar with this world.
"Because you were too careless," Aoba said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?" Black Zetsu was stunned.
"If I say that I am not your uncle, but deliberately trying to trick you, then I have already obtained information on you that Uchiha Madara is still alive. Isn't this your carelessness?" Aoba coldly said.
"This... this... this..." Black Zetsu immediately realized what Aoba was talking about, and his entire body trembled slightly.
That was right!
He didn't think about it and directly asked.
Wouldn't this...
Admitting it!
Could it be...
Was he tricked?!
Black Zetsu raised his eyes and stared at the unknown mysterious person in front of him. He was transparent in front of this person, and this person in front of him was shrouded in a mist-like veil. It was impossible to see clearly.
He only knew a little bit of information.
That was that this person in front of him was his mother's younger brother, his uncle, named Otsutsuki Toneri.
But...
This was the only information he had.
It might not be true!
This would be bad!
Black Zetsu stared coldly at Aoba as if he had something to say, but he held back.
Black Zetsu did not speak.
Aoba was not in a hurry to speak.
For a moment.
The atmosphere became silent.
...
A few minutes later.
Black Zetsu could no longer hold it in.
He took a deep breath and slowly spoke.
"I have a question, are you my uncle? What you said just now was to deceive into revealing Madara's information, right?"
After saying this, Black Zetsu stared at Aoba's eyes, wanting to see the changes in Aoba's eyes. He did not want to miss even the slightest change.
"You are wrong."
Aoba shook his head. He was determined to fool Black Zetsu, so he naturally had to keep Toneri's identity.
"I am your uncle!"
"Then what is the problem?" Black Zetsu was puzzled and asked, "How did you know that Madara was still alive?"
"That's why I said that you are not careful when doing things!"
Aoba shook his head again. The meaning of shaking his head this time was different from before. Previously, he was denying Black Zetsu, but now he was disappointed in Black Zetsu's style of doing things.
"Now you see me."
"You don't even know where you made mistakes."
"Then why do you think you can save your mother?"
Aoba said coldly. As he spoke, the temperature in the surrounding air seemed to drop by a few degrees. An extremely serious feeling enveloped Black Zetsu's head. It was as if it came from the care of an elder, causing Black Zetsu to feel a strange sense of caution.
"If I'm not wrong..."
"Your mother should have been sealed to the moon by the Yin and Yang Powers."
"It is indeed a terrifying Planetary Devastation!"
Aoba raised his hand and pointed at the moon in the sky. The most core golden finger he had in the ninja world was not the power he could obtain, but the information he had.
Jiraiya said before...
Intelligence was more important than life!
The information Aoba had now was that it could determine the life and death of many ninjas, and it could determine the future direction of the ninja world.
Even if the person standing in front of him was Black Zetsu.
Compared to him, there was a huge difference in information!
This kind of information difference was enough to make Black Zetsu doubt life!
"Hu..."
Black Zetsu took a deep breath. When he heard Aoba's words, the scene of his mother throwing him out appeared in his mind.
It was at that time.
He just happened to see the last scene.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura acted together and attacked his mother. His mother was so shocked that she was directly sealed into the moon.
For a moment.
Black Zetsu's past memories floated in front of him like a movie.
This was not a good memory.
So much so that the pressure on his body had become very low.
"What do you mean?" Black Zetsu said in a low voice. He still hadn't figured out the cause and effect of this. Even if the mysterious man in front of him knew that his mother was sealed into the moon, what did it have to do with Madara?
"Not long ago..."
Aoba looked like he was telling a story. He seemed to be telling what he had experienced, but in fact, he was sharing the story he had just made with Black Zetsu.
"I feel that your mother's aura has weakened."
"At that time, I was busy with missions on other planets."
"It was a beautiful dark blue planet..."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"It's a long story."
Aoba made up a story and told about Earth. At the same time, he also missed the things that happened on Earth. His eyes unconsciously flashed with a hint of nostalgia.
This kind of nostalgia revealed his true feelings.
It was not something that could be put on an act.
And it was precisely captured perfectly by Black Zetsu.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at n(0)vel(b)(j)(n).
Instantly.
Black Zetsu was even more confused. From Aoba's eyes, he felt that Aoba was not lying.
If he wasn't lying...
Didn't that mean he was telling the truth?
This kind of thing was even more difficult for him to accept. Right now, his heart was incomparably conflicted. On one hand, he hoped that the matter of Aoba being his uncle was fake. On the other hand, he hoped that this matter was real. Right now, he couldn't figure it out.
"Back to the topic just now..."
Aoba continued. He understood that Black Zetsu had already believed him. Even if Black Zetsu did not admit it, he had already admitted it in his heart.
"When I was on a mission on the outside planet, I felt that your mother's aura had become extremely weak. The final signal was located on the moon."
"After I finished my mission, I came to the moon to find your mother..."
"But at that time."
"The Gedo Statue has been summoned."
"You know the meaning of Gedo Statue very well. It is your mother's body, so it is meaningless for me to stay on the moon."
"After I come to the ninja world..."
"I feel nine powerful chakras."
"According to the ninja world intelligence, it is the 9 bijuu that were dispersed from the Gedo Statue."
"At that time, I will know that your mother has been divided into many parts. If you want your mother to return to this world, you need to collect all the scattered parts."
"Of course..."
"That also requires two different chakras that represent the power of yin and yang."
"Asura Chakra and Indra Chakra!"
"In addition, resurrecting your mother requires the use of Infinite Tsukuyomi, so I think you should put the opportunity on Indra's side, and let Indra get Asura's chakra to perfect his bloodline power."
"After thinking about this..."
"I went to Madara's coffin."
"There's nothing inside."
"I knew Madara was in your hands."
"So..."
"I wasn't lying to you!"
"I figured out your plan through my own analysis and made the corresponding reasoning based on these conditions!"
"This is the answer I gave you!"
Aoba said one sentence after another. He had already thought of these words a long time ago. They were used specifically to deal with Black Zetsu.
He was not afraid that Black Zetsu would not believe him.
He had said so many things.
No matter how much doubt he had, it was enough to shake a person's determination.
"This... this... this..."
The more Black Zetsu listened, the more shocked he became. The other person spoke clearly and logically. He faintly felt that something was not quite right in his heart, but he could not say it at all. This was because all the logic was right.
"Are you really my uncle?"
The balance in Black Zetsu's heart began to tilt. From the beginning, he felt that this person was a liar. Now, his face had been slapped with a lot of information from the other party. This made him have no choice but to believe.
After all.
These words could not be fabricated!
A coincidence would not be so coincidental!
If you were not a member of the Otsutsuki Clan.
It was simply impossible to know these things.
"Wait a minute!"
Black Zetsu suddenly realized a problem, that was, even if the other party was a member of the Otsutsuki Clan, he might not be his uncle but an enemy.
"I have a question."
"If you can answer it."
"Then I will believe that you are my uncle!"
Black Zetsu stared at Aoba with wide eyes. He still had one last trump card, and that was information that even the people of the Otsutsuki Clan might not know.

Chapter 458: Stupid
"Oh?"
Aoba looked at Black Zetsu with deep meaning. He could clearly feel that Black Zetsu was not so easy to fool. Everything he said now was just a bit misleading on the surface. It did not make Black Zetsu believe it directly.
"Tell me!"
Aoba was very interested in the question that Black Zetsu was about to ask. Now, he wanted to know what kind of question Black Zetsu wanted to ask to make him believe that he was his uncle.
To be honest...
Aoba never intended for Black Zetsu to believe it.
He was just fooling Black Zetsu.
No matter what the final result was.
He hoped to use the words he said to mislead Black Zetsu so that Black Zetsu would be frightened and try his best to create great damage to Madara's side.
"My mother has always wanted to use a genjutsu called Infinite Tsukuyomi, but she has been sealed before she succeeds. If you are really my uncle, then you must know that Infinite Tsukuyomi can bring happiness to mankind. The ultimate peace, are you curious about what it will look like when it is finally presented?" After Black Zetsu finished speaking, he stared at Aoba, his eyes staring straight at Aoba as if he wanted to see the changes in Aoba's eyes.
"Hahahahaha..."
After hearing Black Zetsu's words, Aoba did not answer immediately. Instead, he burst out laughing, as if he had heard something extremely funny.
"What are you laughing at?" Black Zetsu's tone became unhappy.
"I thought you would ask a hard question, but it was actually a question to trick me. But such a question is hardly difficult for me. It is a waste to give up such a precious opportunity to ask such a question."
Aoba said while shaking his head.
When he heard the first sentence that Black Zetsu said.
He knew that Black Zetsu was not asking a serious question.
Instead, he was playing tricks.
Of course.
All of this was based on the fact that he knew what was going on and that there was a large amount of information difference, which was why he could understand everything.
Otherwise, it would really be easy to be tricked.
"What are you talking about?" Black Zetsu stubbornly pretended not to know anything. After all, he was also worried that Aoba was trying to trick him.
"Your routine is okay to talk to Madara. If you tell me, it will be like showing off your skills in front of an expert."
Aoba raised his right index finger and directly shook it in front of Black Zetsu. After that, he stopped his index finger in front of Black Zetsu.
"There are a few loopholes in your words."
"Let me sort it out for you."
"This way, you can call me uncle in peace."
After saying this.
Aoba pointed his finger forward.
It looked like he was hitting the air in front of him.
"The first point!"
"Your first sentence was wrong!"
"Although I haven't gotten a precise piece of information yet..."
"But I can be sure."
"Your mother has at least used the Infinite Tsukuyomi once!"
"And it is very likely that she only used it once."
"She should have been sealed before it could be used a second time."
"This is based on the number of people on this planet, the amount of chakra distribution, and the time when the fruit of the God Tree matures!"
Aoba said coldly.
It was just a few words.
Black Zetsu began to break out in cold sweat.
It was not wrong.
It was all correct.
Completely correct.
His mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya, had performed the Infinite Tsukuyomi once and was targeted by the two filial sons. Then, she was sealed by the two sons.
She did not even have the time to perform the second Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Of course.
Black Zetsu did not say these words out loud.
He was still waiting for Aoba's next words, but in his heart, he had begun to gradually believe in Aoba's identity.
After all, this person had spoken too much unknown information.
One or two was fine.
Almost every sentence carried information that others could not possibly know, and the authenticity of the information was completely true.
This was definitely not a coincidence!
Even a fabricated story could not produce such an effect!
"The second point!"
At this moment, Aoba raised his second finger and shook it in front of Black Zetsu. His eyes were dyed with confidence.
"The Infinite Tsukuyomi does not bring ultimate peace..."
"Strictly speaking, it brings ultimate destruction."
"The area enveloped by the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi will all be trapped in the illusion of their dream."
"Finally..."
"They became White Zetsu!"
Aoba shook the two fingers that he had raised as he spoke, and the corners of his mouth behind the mask curled up into a slight smile.
"Are you satisfied with my answer?"
Aoba's voice echoed in Black Zetsu's ears, and Black Zetsu was completely dumbfounded.
He did not want to believe that the person in front of him was his uncle.
However, what the latter said made him not know how to argue. The other party was like a person who knew everything. The secrets he knew, the other party knew.
It seemed...
Other than his mother's younger brother.
There was really no one who knew about this.
"Wait!"
When Black Zetsu thought of this, an idea flashed through his mind again. He immediately said, "According to what you said, the purpose of Mother using Infinite Tsukuyomi is to turn humans into White Zetsu. Why?"
"Sigh..."
Aoba sighed helplessly.
There seemed to be something in his eyes.
He looked like he was reminiscing.
There was a hidden feeling of disappointment.
"Your mother!"
"She..."
"She is really a little stupid!"
Aoba said something that made Black Zetsu dumbfounded. He never thought that the person in front of him who claimed to be his uncle would say such words that directly slandered his mother.
All of a sudden.
A surge of anger rose in Black Zetsu's heart.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Black Zetsu was very angry. Even if the person in front of him was his uncle, he could not allow this person to talk about his mother like this.
"Alright..."
"I will sort it out for you again!"
"See if your mother is stupid!"
Aoba shook his head helplessly. Then, he stretched out a finger and placed it in front of Black Zetsu, showing the same posture as before.
"The first point."
"Your mother secretly ate the fruit from the God Tree of the Otsutsuki clan."
"Although it was a taboo."
"But your mother has already obtained a very powerful strength."
"At this time, she actually..."
"She chose to give birth to two sons."
"She clearly knew that she might have to face a powerful enemy, yet she still divided her chakra. In the end, she was sealed by those two sons."
"Aren't she stupid!"
Every word Aoba said was like a needle, directly piercing into the weak point in the depths of Black Zetsu's heart that he was most unwilling to mention.
However, he had no way to deny it.
After Kaguya gave birth to two sons, her chakra decrease a lot, so in the end she failed to beat the two sons who joined forces, and was finally sealed.
"..."
Black Zetsu wanted to say something but stopped.
He wanted to say that it was not Kaguya's fault, but Hagoromo and Hamura's.
However, he could not bring himself to say it.
After all, this was the truth.
Hagoromo rebel against his mother because of a woman who he had feelings for. He was ashamed to make an evaluation for such behavior.
"The second point."
"After your mother ate the fruit of the God Tree, her strength was already close to invincible."
"What she needs to do is to work hard to improve her combat ability."
"That's all."
"This way, she can easily deal with the enemies from the Otsutsuki Clan."
"But she chose to use Infinite Tsukuyomi, causing the public to be angry. This is one of the reasons why she was sealed."
"I don't trust my own strength. Instead, I put the bet on White Zetsu. This is the worst bet I have ever seen."
Aoba said one sentence after another. Each sentence was like a bolt of lightning, directly exploding in Black Zetsu's mind and causing Black Zetsu to fall into deep thought.This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Bi(j)n.
He had just asked Aoba why his mother wanted to turn humans into White Zetsu.
Now, Aoba had indirectly given the answer.
That's right!
That was what he want!
His mother wanted to use White Zetsu to deal with the possible enemies!
However, even Black Zetsu himself did not know who the enemy was. Instead, he had gotten the answer from Aoba.
"White Zetsu..."
"You might know how many White Zetsu armies Mother has!"
"This is a power that is hard to ignore!"
"You can't say that about Mother!"
Black Zetsu couldn't help but explain after thinking about it. He really didn't know what kind of enemy her mother was facing, he knew that White Zetsu's combat strength was limited but he just didn't want to admit that his mother was stupid.
This was something that every son was unwilling to admit!
"More than a hundred thousand."
Aoba casually shook his finger, then sent a question to Black Zetsu, "Right now, those White Zetsu should be in your hands. Do you think those White Zetsu can beat Uchiha Madara, who is at his peak state?"
"..."Black Zetsu chose to remain silent.
"It's fine if it's someone else." Aoba said meaningfully, "Then do you think that 100,000 White Zetsu will be able to defeat a peak-level Senju Hashirama?"
"..." Black Zetsu chose to remain silent again.
"Let's change to another person." Aoba's tone became even more interesting. He said, "Do you think that 100,000 White Zetsu can defeat the Sage of the Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo?"
"..." Black Zetsu was about to flip over.
"They can't beat him!"
The corner of Aoba's mouth behind the mask curled up again. What he said now was originally the ridicule in his heart when he was watching the anime.
It was just that time.
He was just an audience.
His ridicule did not have any effect.
It would not affect the direction of the plot at all.
Including after Kaguya was resurrected by Black Zetsu, that stupid woman's combat ability simply overturned the gutter in facing Naruto's combat ability.
Mastering the ultimate strength but not being good at releasing skills, directly forming a great contrast.
Even...
In the eyes of the vast majority of Naruto fans, the despair Kaguya brings to people was far below Six Paths Madara.
If Six Paths Madara brought people a tragedy full of despair, then Otsutsuki Kaguya was the final version of comedy staged for everyone after people feel the peak of Naruto anime.
"You can't beat this, you can't beat that, what's the use of your mother making such a pile of trash!" Aoba said in a bad mood.
He had seen some information on the internet.
Even though he didn't see much.
He knew some information about those people who came from outer space.
Let's say they were strong...
That was it.
But let's say they are weak...
A mere 100,000 White Zetsu could still not even be considered cannon fodder.
Facing people with top combat power, even if those White Zetsu were multiplied by ten times, to a total of one million, there was still no quality. Without quality, they would not be of any use. It would be better to properly hone your combat skills.
After all, the members of the Otsutsuki clan have excellent combat skills!
"..."
Black Zetsu fell silent again. He suddenly felt that what the person in front of him said was very reasonable. He had never thought about this place before. He just felt that what his mother had done was right.
Now it seemed that...
Things seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
Those White Zetsu.
It seemed to be quite useless.
What was the use of it?
A single bijudama and they were gone!
For a moment.
Black Zetsu suddenly realized...
Her Mother seemed to be quite stupid!
"Are you saying that Mother's enemy is the Otsutsuki Clan?" Thinking of this, Black Zetsu suddenly discovered this point. Then, he asked deeply, "Isn't Mother a member of the Otsutsuki Clan?"
"After your mother eat the fruit of the God Tree, she became Otsutsuki Clan's traitor. So, she knew that the people of the Otsutsuki Clan would find her sooner or later to take back the fruit she ate!" Aoba explained.
"If it was you, what would you do?" Black Zetsu was already confused. He vaguely understood that his mother had taken the wrong step, but he did not know what the correct way to deal with it was.
"It's very simple."
Aoba directly smiled.
"Change to a not-so-conspicuous planet, find a safe place, hide your identity, become an ordinary office worker, and feel the joy of an office worker."
"..." Black Zetsu was even more dumbfounded. Was this so-called uncle's outlook on life? It directly subverted his understanding.
"Then..."
"What if they still found you?"
"You have nowhere to hide."
"What will you do?"
Black Zetsu continued to ask. This was what he wanted to know. After all, this was what her mother had to face.
"This is also why your mother is stupid. She can find a place to hide. Have you ever seen someone who stole something and still settled in the same place!"
Aoba said angrily and then began to answer Black Zetsu's question.
"If they still find me..."
"That would be disturbing my quiet life!"
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 459: Black Zetsu Is the True Filial Son!
"???"
Black Zetsu was confused by Aoba's words. He didn't know what he was talking about.
What was going on?
What do you mean?
Disturbing your life?
Such a simple excuse?
It sounds very powerful!
It was just that...
You were the one who said that you wanted to lay low!
All of a sudden.
Black Zetsu was even more confused. He had a lot of questions to ask Aoba. Whether it was the identity of this person, or the unique attitude toward life revealed in this person's words.
"Tell me in detail..."
Black Zetsu could not help but continue to ask. He faintly felt that the matters here were not as simple as he had imagined. It seemed that this person who called himself his uncle, the way he conducted himself was not the same as the people he knew.
"The choice your mother made is really stupid that I can't describe. She had clearly already eaten the fruit of the God Tree and did not need to stay here any longer. Moreover, under the circumstances that there were people chasing after her, she just created hundreds of thousands of White Zetsu here..."
Aoba was really speechless in his heart.This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Bi(j)n.
In the past, when he was watching Naruto anime, he felt that Kaguya was a silly and sweet person. Now, this feeling became even more real after he continuously sorted out this matter.
"Back to the question you just asked..."
"If it was me."
"After I obtained the fruit of the God Tree, I would go straight to a place where the Otsutsuki Clan could not find and hide. I would change my identity and slowly improve my strength."
"As for after being discovered..."
"I won't let those who know my identity return alive!"
Aoba said firmly.
He had always done this.
Anyone who knew his information would be directly eliminated.
Of course.
There was another possibility.
That was to turn the person who knew his information into his own.
"What if the enemy is not someone you can defeat?" Black Zetsu took a deep breath. How could he not know this principle? Even his mother knew this principle, so she had to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to create White Zetsu's army to face the predicament that she might face in the future.
"What do you think the fruit of the God Tree is?"
Aoba asked Black Zetsu in annoyance. This sentence was not only directed at Black Zetsu but also at Kaguya, who was sealed on the moon.
"That people were nothing more than an Otsutsuki duo. With their strength, why should they be compared with the incarnation of the fruit of the God Tree!"
"In short..."
"Gods block, kill the Gods; if Buddhas block, kill the Buddhas; come one, kill one; come two, kill two!"
Aoba said very casually. He felt that the chakra fruit that the God Tree had borne was a bit wasteful to be eaten by Kaguya.
She had indeed become strong.
However, she didn't develop her combat skills!
In summary, it was...
She was strong enough.
However, her combat strength was extremely weak.
But even so...
It was still more than enough to deal with an Otsutsuki duo!
"This..."
Black Zetsu looked at the mysterious masked man in front of him. His brain, which was originally very messy, now became even more messy.
The contrast between this person was so strong!
Just now, he said that he wanted to find a place to hide. It sounded extremely cowardly, but in the blink of an eye, he became a war god who killed everywhere, as if there was no fear.
Wasn't this contradictory?!
How could such an extreme character appear on the same person?
The more Black Zetsu thought about it, the more he felt it was ridiculous.
But such a person was standing in front of him, presenting everything.
"Mother's strength..."
Black Zetsu recalled the scene he saw when he was thrown out. It happened to be the scene of his mother's two filial sons sealing his mother. When his mother created White Zetsu's army, her always worried expression made him feel that her opponent was very powerful.
Until now, when he heard this.
It seemed...
The opponent was just so-so!
"Is she really that strong?"
Black Zetsu could not help but ask the latter half of the sentence.
He knew that if his mother's strength was placed in the ninja world, she would basically have no opponent. Even if Hagoromo and Hamura joined hands, they could only seal her and couldn't really kill her.
But...
He did not know the strength of the Otsutsuki Clan.
Taking advantage of the fact that Aoba did not speak.
Black Zetsu asked again, "Is the strength of the Otsutsuki clan really that weak? Can Mother alone handle it? What exactly does the Otsutsuki clan do?"
"The Otsutsuki clan doesn't have much ability, they're just tree planters," Aoba said casually.
"..." Black Zetsu was immediately speechless.
"Alright, you've asked everything you need to ask. Should you admit my uncle's identity now?" Aoba stared at Black Zetsu with deep meaning.
Actually.
With his current strength.
Black Zetsu was no match for him at all.
Strictly speaking...
Black Zetsu's own combat strength was very low. What he relied on was to hide in the dark and take advantage of Madara to finish everything, then dig out his heart and take away the fruit of victory.
Moreover, Black Zetsu was now under control in his seal.
As long as Aoba wanted to.
Not to mention killing Black Zetsu.
At the very least, he could seal Black Zetsu up.
But...
This was too boring!
Aoba had always wanted to find a chance to talk about life with Black Zetsu.
If he could fool Black Zetsu, the sense of accomplishment he would gain would be far greater than everything he accomplished.
After all, this was not something that could be conquered with a fist.
"..."
After hearing Aoba's words, Black Zetsu fell silent. He did not want to call this person uncle, nor did he want to recognize this uncle.
Even if Aoba was right about everything.
He felt that this person was not his uncle.
"I have another question."
Black Zetsu immediately said. On one hand, he wanted to delay time so that he could think of other ways. On the other hand, he wanted to find another reason to convince himself so that he could accept this more peacefully.
"Speak!"
Aoba was not anxious at all and was very patient.
At this time.
He also had nothing to do.
He was originally just passing time to wait for the Third Ninja World War to enter the peak stage.
Now, he could have a deep conversation with Black Zetsu during this boring time. He was not afraid of Black Zetsu asking questions, but afraid that Black Zetsu would not ask.
The more Black Zetsu asked, the more he could answer.
This way, it could shake Black Zetsu's heart.
He might even make Black Zetsu limp in the end.
"You just said that if you eat God Tree's fruit, you will hide. I am very curious where you are going to hide?" Black Zetsu asked in a deep voice.
He did not ask this to satisfy his curiosity. Instead, he asked this for his mother.
After all...
He had to rescue his mother sooner or later.
The information he had now could help his mother make a decision in the future to some extent.
"This kind of thing..."
Aoba replied very casually, "I will directly return to the Otsutsuki clan planet. I will pretend to be an ordinary Otsutsuki clan member there and live a quiet life."
"What?!"
When Black Zetsu heard Aoba's answer, he was stunned. His entire person was numb. He did not expect that there would be such an operation. He was completely shocked.
"Didn't the Otsutsuki clan want to find you?"
"If you take the initiative to go back..."
"Wouldn't it be walking into the trap?!"
Black Zetsu stared at Aoba with his golden eyes. He wanted to get an answer from Aoba, and he had already realized that this answer was very likely to be the answer his mother needed.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Aoba said indifferently, "After the people of the Otsutsuki clan came here and found that I was not here, they knew that I had run away, so they would definitely look for me everywhere. No matter how good the other places were, it is better to hide directly in the Otsutsuki clan. They wouldn't suspect me of going back, would they?"
"Hiss..."
When Black Zetsu heard Aoba's explanation, he couldn't help but gasp.
When he first heard it, he felt it was very ridiculous.
He even faintly felt that this person was prevaricating.
But when he finished listening to the explanation, he immediately understood that this seemingly abnormal decision had great wisdom behind it.
No wonder...
This person would call his mother stupid.
Now it seems...
It was indeed a little!
"What is your purpose for coming here?" After a moment of hesitation, Black Zetsu immediately asked again, "Are you the member of the Otsutsuki clan who came to catch Mother?"
"To be precise, I am here to protect your mother," Aoba said in a calm tone.
"Protect?" Black Zetsu was puzzled.
"The Otsutsuki Clan has already discovered that God Tree in here has some abnormality. They have already sent two people over. After I learned the information, I came here before them. My only purpose is to protect your mother," Aoba explained.
"Why should I believe your words?" Black Zetsu was very vigilant.
"Because your mother is my sister, and I am your mother's younger brother. We are siblings. Of course, I will stand on your mother's side." Aoba explained without hesitation.
"Kinship?" Black Zetsu shook his head and said, "I don't believe in kinship at all. Even my mother's two sons can betray her, let alone her younger brother!"
"What about you?" Aoba responded quickly, "Aren't you also your mother's son? Then did you betray your mother?"
"Of course, I won't betray my mother!" Black Zetsu immediately straightened his back and said.
"Isn't that right!" Aoba nodded. The corner of his mouth behind the mask rose even higher. He enjoyed the process of fooling Black Zetsu very much, which made him very satisfied. Then he said, "Not every relative would choose to betray their loved ones."
"I understand now..."
When Black Zetsu was compared to Aoba, he instantly reacted and knew what was going on.
He has prejudice because of those two unfilial sons.
He felt that all the sons in the world were unfilial people.
It was indeed like this!
When Black Zetsu thought of this, a big stone that was hanging in his heart fell down. The vigilance in his heart weakened a lot.
"Are there any other questions?"
Aoba did not care about Black Zetsu's "another" question at all. He wanted Black Zetsu to keep asking questions, then he would belittle all of Black Zetsu's questions and achieve the purpose of disturbing Black Zetsu.
"If I admit that you are my uncle, will you help me save my mother?" Black Zetsu took a deep breath and asked the most critical question. This was also the thing he wanted the most, and that was how to save his mother.
This was the meaning of his existence!
If not for to save his mother...
He had no idea what value his life had!
This was his only mission in this world.
It could be said that...
Compared to Hagoromo and Hamura...
Black Zetsu was the real filial son!
"Hahahahaha!"
Aoba seemed to have heard something funny. He immediately raised his head and laughed. His laughter directly made Black Zetsu unable to calm down. His mood, which had just relaxed a little, instantly became nervous again.
"Black Zetsu!"
"Your vigilance is really good!"
"Your mother will be proud of you!"
Aoba first praised Black Zetsu. The sugar-coated artillery shell had long been his unique skill. He had learned this kind of thing a long time ago. There was no difficulty at all. No matter who the other party was, he could use it skillfully.
After saying this.
Aoba immediately gave off a serious aura.
Even if he was wearing a mask.
Black Zetsu could feel that Aoba's face had already retracted its smile.
"It doesn't matter if you admit it or not."
"I will save your mother."
"This is the most important reason for me coming here!"
"I can't wait until the two Otsutsuki clansmen come and let your mother be captured!"
"So..."
"I'm only telling you this today."
"It doesn't matter if you believe me or not."
"It won't hinder my plan."
Aoba said casually. His words were like bombs that exploded in Black Zetsu's head.
"You... you... you..."
Black Zetsu almost said the word "uncle". Just now, he had been driven by Aoba's words and was in an excited state.
As long as this person wants to save his mother.
Then they were on the same side!
Black Zetsu had gone too hard on the road to save his mother. Now, he finally felt like he had seen his loved ones.
His nose felt inexplicably sour.
However...
There was still a trace of rationality in the depths of his heart that kept telling him that everything the other party said could also be just an excuse.
After all.
There was still a possibility.
The person in front of him...
He was here to capture his mother on behalf of the Otsutsuki Clan!
The purpose of the other party saving his mother was to take his mother away!
If that was the case...
Preventing the resurrection of his mother in the short term was a way to protect her.
The voice in Black Zetsu's heart was very weak, but it kept ringing in his heart so that he could not ignore this possibility.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 460: Then What Do You Think Of Me?
Aoba looked at Black Zetsu's vigilant expression and gradually understood that it was not that difficult to trick Black Zetsu. It was just that when it came to Kaguya, things became more complicated.
The reason was very simple...
Black Zetsu was very concerned about his mother!
If it was something else.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at n(0)vel(b)(j)(n).
Perhaps it would be fine.
However, when it came to matters related to Kaguya, Black Zetsu was extremely cautious and wouldn't easily believe anything else.
"You mean to say..."
Black Zetsu slowly narrowed his eyes. His entire face was black, and he could not see any expression. However, he could still see the way he narrowed his eyes. After all, his golden eyes had changed from a round light bulb to a slight gap.
"You will help me save my mother?!"
Black Zetsu asked tentatively. This was what he was most concerned about. As for other trivial matters and the real identity of the mysterious person in front of him, whether it was his uncle or not, he did not care.
"I am not helping you."
Aoba shook his head. He knew very well that in the path of fooling Black Zetsu, he needed to progress step by step. Just now, he had already made a lot of progress, but he had to grasp this propriety well. Otherwise, it would be easy to cause a negative effect.
Moreover...
Aoba tricked Black Zetsu purely for the sake of happiness and satisfaction in his heart.
After all, the other party was the biggest mastermind behind the scene in the ninja world!
To be able to fool Black Zetsu was something that could be accomplished easily. He did not expect to achieve anything through Black Zetsu, so he did not have a clear goal.
It was precisely because of this.
Black Zetsu really could not understand Aoba's motive.
"I already said it very clearly just now..."
There was a deep sense of helplessness in Aoba's tone. It was as if he was communicating with someone who could not understand words.
"I came to find you because I happened to see you. I was so bored that I chatted with you and took you to recognize your family."
"As for your mother..."
"No matter what you do, I will save your mother before those two people from the Otsutsuki clan come!"
There was an unquestionable determination in Aoba's tone.
He never had any plans to save Kaguya.
Telling Black Zetsu this was just a joke.
There was no need to take responsibility.
After all, Black Zetsu was also a big liar. He fooled Uchiha Madara into wanting to achieve the ultimate peace of the world through Infinite Tsukuyomi so he could make a wedding dress for Black Zetsu's great cause of saving his mother.
Everyone had their own mouth.
It depends on who lives better.
"This... you..."
Black Zetsu was rendered speechless by Aoba's words. The fog in his mind became even thicker. He stared at Aoba, thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask.
"What is your purpose for doing this?"
Black Zetsu asked coldly. Ever since he was thrown out by his mother, he had experienced countless years here. Even he didn't know how long he had lived.
He had fooled many people.
It had caused the feelings between many people to deteriorate.
Therefore, he deeply understood one principle. The feelings between people were very fragile and could not withstand the test at all.
Even if it was his loved ones.
As long as there was a price, it could still be cut!
This also made him not believe that the mysterious person in front of him who claimed to be his uncle would do anything without a purpose.
There was definitely a purpose!
It was just that he did not know yet!
Black Zetsu was not sure whether the mysterious man in front of him was his uncle, but one thing he was sure of was that the other party might be a member of the Otsutsuki clan. Otherwise, how could he know so much information?
"No purpose."
After hearing Black Zetsu's words, the corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a faint smile. After that, he said, "I just want to save my sister."
"Why should I believe you?" Black Zetsu asked again.
"You don't need to believe me." Aoba shook his head. His meaning was very clear. He was just doing what he wanted to do. It had nothing to do with Black Zetsu.
"I don't understand." Black Zetsu shook his head and said, "I don't believe that you don't have any purpose in saving my mother. There is nothing in this world that doesn't involve interests."
"Then what is your purpose in saving your mother?" Aoba asked.
"I..." Black Zetsu was stunned for a moment. After that, he said, "I have no purpose!"
"Why should I believe you?" Aoba smiled behind the mask.
"I... I... I am my mother's son. Of course, I have to save my mother. This is my responsibility. I have to take responsibility!" Black Zetsu patted his chest and said.
"You can have no purpose, but I must have a purpose. I didn't expect you to be a double standard!" Aoba said lightly. He felt that he had a good chat with Black Zetsu today. There would be plenty of time and more interesting things in the future.
Thinking of this.
Aoba waved his hand casually.
Hum!
The black lines around Black Zetsu and him suddenly disappeared.
The barrier disappeared.
"That's it for today!"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not!"
"I don't care about such things!"
"You can go!"
"I will give you time to go back and slowly digest it!"
Aoba said one sentence after another. After he finished speaking, he directly waved his hand at Black Zetsu, indicating that Black Zetsu could leave.
"..."
Black Zetsu was even more speechless.
Just now, he was thinking about how to get away.
After all, he had been trapped just now and could not leave at all. Otherwise, he would not have said so much to Aoba.
Now he regained his freedom all of a sudden.
His heart was even more uncertain.
He still stood there in a daze, looking at Aoba unable to say a word.
"Right."
Just as Aoba was about to leave, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and immediately turned to look at Black Zetsu who was not far away.
"I know that you are guarding Uchiha Madara, and have activated his Rinnegan. Now, you are looking for someone who can help him achieve the Eye of the Moon Plan."
"I just want to tell you..."
"The mastermind behind this Third Ninja World War is me!"
"So..."
"If you want to save your mother."
"Don't get in the way!"
After Aoba coldly threw down this sentence, he did not pay any attention to Black Zetsu again. He knew that there were some things to be done. The meeting ended at the most appropriate time. The rest would be left to time.
This time, Aoba intended to plant a seed in Black Zetsu's heart.
This seed might slowly take root and sprout in the future as time went on, but he might not be able to see the effect immediately at this time. He also did not want to be too excessive.
Swish!
Suddenly, a burst of chakra fluctuation appeared around Aoba.
After that, he completely disappeared.
He used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).
However, he used other special chakras to form interference when he used it to hide the original Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). This way, even Black Zetsu would not easily find flaws.
Almost in an instant.
Aoba disappeared in front of Black Zetsu.
"..."
Black Zetsu looked at the place where Aoba disappeared. His brain was still in a daze. He had experienced too many things today, far more than the long years he had lived.
"I... I'll go back!"
Black Zetsu wanted to see what the Third Ninja World War was like. When he was beside Madara, he noticed the abnormality of the Third Ninja World War, so he personally came out to check it out.
Unexpectedly.
He did not know what happened to the Third Ninja World War.
Instead, he got an uncle.
This kind of extremely outrageous thing made him unable to find any point to refute.
The more it was like this.
The more he felt it was ridiculous.
The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable it was.
But in his heart, he still believed it a little.
This kind of very tangled feeling was like being fooled by all kinds of people. It made him feel like he was in a fog, unable to see what was happening around him.
It was very stifling.
The complicated emotions in his heart could not be vented.
Black Zetsu knew that this was the trouble he brought himself. After all, he was the one who grabbed the mysterious man just now and asked various questions.
Since he was thrown out.
This was the first time in his life that he had felt such emotions.
"Otsutsuki Toneri..."
Black Zetsu muttered silently. After that, he turned into a pool of black mud and slowly went deep into the ground, and disappeared.
...
After using Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), Aoba went straight back to the Anbu dormitory.
"Come back."
Aoba said to the shadow clone in front of him.
Now he was back.
There was no need for the shadow clone to stand guard for him anymore.
"Yes."
Aoba's shadow clone immediately responded. With a bang, it disappeared.
Next.
Aoba took off his mask. The pieces of paper on his body flew up and down returning his original appearance. He pushed open the door of his room and walked straight out of the Anbu dormitory.
There were still a few pairs of eyes staring outside, they all saw Aoba walking in, so Aoba had to punch a card in front of them so that he could officially come out.
Just like this.
Aoba came to the entrance of the Anbu dormitory.
He directly left the sight of these people.
This proved that he had not gone out during this period of time. Everything that happened outside had nothing to do with him.
"Aoba!"
However.
Right at this moment.
A voice suddenly rang out and entered Aoba's ears.
This person spoke slowly, and almost every word had a unique tone. He was just calling out Aoba, but it sounded completely different from the others.
There was no need to look at it at all.
Aoba knew who it was.
One of the Konoha Sannin.
Orochimaru.
In fact.
There had always been a big question mark in Aoba's mind.
He did not know why Orochimaru had found him. The blind cat had run into a dead mouse, or had found some clues.
He admitted that he had not left any evidence behind.
But Orochimaru had indeed found him precisely.
After being called by the name.
Aoba stopped. He was not going to argue with Orochimaru. This did not mean that he was afraid of Orochimaru. It was just that he had finally cleared up all the suspicions on and didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Aoba turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.
What came into view was Orochimaru, who was wearing a gray robe with a belt around his waist.
At this moment.
Orochimaru's black and supple hair fluttered in the wind. His pair of long and narrow snake-like eyes stared fixedly at Aoba. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, carrying a meaningful smile.
"Orochimaru-sama."
Aoba nodded slightly and bowed. His expression was calm and indifferent. There was almost no change in his expression. He looked like he knew that Orochimaru had returned. His entire person was so calm that it made people feel like he was a machine without emotion.
"As expected of a person from Anbu, don't panic when things happen, don't panic when you are in chaos. I think you are more suitable for Root." Orochimaru licked his lips. His snake-like eyes looked up and down at Aoba. The last time they met was in the dark Anbu dormitory. This time they were outside so he could see more clearly.
"Is Orochimaru-sama looking for me to join Root?" Aoba asked indifferently.
"Why not!" The smile on Orochimaru's face became even wider. After that, he said, "During this period of time, I took charge of Root and I really feel that you are suitable for Root. You do things meticulously without leaving any clues. If you come to Root, you will definitely be the best one!"
"Orochimaru-sama, you flatter me. I am not that capable. I am just an ordinary interrogator ninja." Aoba's tone was still very light. However, from Orochimaru's words, he could clearly feel the other party's words. This implied that he had done many things and was using this method to tell him that the other party knew something.
"How could that be!" The smile on Orochimaru's face became even more meaningful. It seemed that he had already expected Aoba to reply like this. So he said, "Your ability is really great, isn't it?"
"Let's forget about Root." Aoba didn't continue to linger on the topic of ability. Instead, he pulled the topic back to Root and said, "Sandaime-sama has already instructed to let me lead the Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force."
"Wow!"
Orochimaru immediately showed a surprised expression and then gave Aoba a thumbs-up, as if he was acknowledging Aoba.
"Amazing!"
"Very amazing!"
"Teacher can give an Anbu division to you!"
"What a rare trust!"
"Even I, a student, can't get this kind of care from my teacher!"
"But..."
"I remember that all of the Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force ninjas died on the battlefield, right?"
"Don't tell me that you, the future Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force boss, have no one under you?"
Orochimaru said faintly. His tone was quite strange and didn't know what he wanted to express. After he finished speaking, he kept staring at Aoba.
"That's right, I'm the only one." Aoba nodded.
"Then what do you think of me?" Orochimaru's eyes lit up.

Chapter 461: Nara Shikaku's Changes
"What do you mean?"
Aoba was stunned for a moment. He did not understand what Orochimaru meant. However, he vaguely felt that it was not a good thing. He began to be vigilant, but there was still no expression on his face.
At this time.
Aoba was still thinking silently in his mind.
What exactly was the reason?
The person who makes Orochimaru so determined to find was himself.
What kind of mistake did he make?
There was always a question mark in Aoba's head. He had only interacted with Orochimaru once. Moreover, at that time, he did not reveal his identity. There was no reason for him to be easily discovered by Orochimaru.
"What I mean is..." Orochimaru smiled playfully. It seemed that everything here was under his control. He said, "Do you think I can join your Anbu division?"
"No."
Aoba directly shook his head and refused without hesitation. Judging from this reaction speed, it seems that he did not even think about it.
"Oh?"
Orochimaru stared at Aoba with deep meaning and continued to ask, "Why?"
"Orochimaru-sama, don't make fun of me. Who doesn't know that you are one of the Konoha Sannin? You are the student of Sandaime-sama. Why are you running to Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force for no reason?" Aoba spread out his hands and put on a helpless expression, showing this kind of action to Orochimaru.
"Now, Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force is in need of people. I think highly of you, so I want to help." Orochimaru replied in all seriousness.
"Alright then!" Aoba suddenly changed his words and agreed.
"Huh?" This time, it was Orochimaru's turn to be surprised. He never thought that Aoba, who seemed to be very resistant just now, would agree to this matter now. This made him feel very strange so he asked, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, Orochimaru-sama, you can come to Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force." Aoba nodded and said.
"Why?" Orochimaru's curiosity was aroused. He stared at Aoba and said, "You clearly didn't want me to come just now."
"The reason is like this. I just thought about it. With your status, if you come to Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force, then the boss position will be yours. I won't have to take over this mess. This is also good!" Aoba said directly.
"???"
Orochimaru stared at Aoba with his pale yellow eyes, as if he wanted to see the change in Aoba's expression through his expression.
What did this mean?!
Was he playing hard to get?
Or was this really what he was thinking?
Orochimaru suddenly felt that this seemingly ordinary-looking young man named Yamanaka Aoba did not play according to the rules. What he did was always beyond his expectations.
"Interesting!"
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. His eyes that were staring at Aoba became scorching. He faintly felt that there seemed to be some secret hidden within this youth's body.
The last time he felt this excited...
It was still the moment when he saw Fugaku open his three tomoe Sharingan.
Those eyes were so beautiful and charming.
However...
Now this youth.
It seemed that he could be a good candidate to be a vessel.
"Aoba, I heard that you went to take Chunin Exams and even got to the third round. Why didn't you continue?" Orochimaru immediately brought up the Chunin Exams matter. At that time, he was the chief examiner of the third round of Chunin Exams. At that time, he did not think of Aoba. He did not have any other special concerns for Aoba. Only recently did he know that Aoba had withdrawn from Chunin Exams halfway.
"Don't mention it." Aoba shook his head. Now that he looked back at that memory, he still felt that it was pretty dull. It was the first time in his life that he wanted to make friends since he came to the ninja world. Unfortunately, he directly found the wrong person, making him not want to open his heart casually.
Now that he thought about it again.
Aoba felt that the ancient saying was very reasonable.
A stranger in a strange land!
For the ninja world...
He was a stranger who had crossed over!
Whether it was his way of thinking or his attitude in life, he was different from most of the ninjas here. He did not have the spirit to sacrifice, nor did he have the creed to completely obey orders. It was nothing more than following the heart and being at ease with the situation.
This was also the most important reason why it was difficult for Aoba to have any friends here.
In a more popular way of saying it.
That was...
Their three views were incompatible!
"Is it because of me?"
However, Orochimaru's questioning voice sounded again, clearly transmitted into Aoba's ears and directly stunning him.
What does it have to do with you?
Aoba complained in his mind. When he looked at Orochimaru, his dark pupils contracted slightly, and the confusion in his eyes flashed away.
Orochimaru immediately caught the change in his expression that was inadvertently revealed at this moment.
"Isn't it?"
Orochimaru frowned slightly. Just now, he thought that Aoba had taken the initiative to avoid him after knowing that he was the chief examiner of Chunin Exams' third round.
However, when he saw Aoba's instinctive reaction, he understood that it did not seem to be the case. He realized that he was thinking too much.
"No."
Aoba shook his head and did not want to say anything more about Chunin Exams. Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru-sama."
"If there's nothing else,"
"I'll be leaving first."
After that.
Aoba was about to leave.
He had just fooled Black Zetsu and already felt a little tired. Now, facing Orochimaru, he was not in the mood to talk about anything.
"Wait."
Orochimaru suddenly called out to Aoba, and his speed began to speed up. He said, "How did you come back alive from the frontline?"
"I was lucky," Aoba said indifferently. At this time, he had already turned around, leaving Orochimaru with his back as he walked away.
"Do you want to be in charge of your own destiny?" Orochimaru suddenly asked for no reason.
"Not interested." Aoba's tone was still indifferent, but he silently added in his heart, 'My own destiny had always been dominated by myself. It had nothing to do with other people. Even now, I dominated the destiny of many people.'
"I think you will be interested!" A confident smile appeared on Orochimaru's face. As Aoba left, his volume increased a lot. He shouted, "If you need power, you can come to me. I can give you power."
"Thank you." Aoba's voice was the opposite of Orochimaru's. Not only did it not increase, it became even lower. Finally, he whispered, "No need."
Orochimaru did not say anything more. Instead, he silently watched Aoba leave. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and the corners of his lips rose higher and higher.
There was no need to say anything now.
He believed.
Aoba would come to him!
No one in the ninja world would refuse the temptation of power!
Anyone wanted to become a more powerful existence, including himself!
Aoba was a person who had experienced war!
The more he experienced the baptism of the war and witnessed the death of his companions, the more he realized his own insignificance and the importance of strength.
...
After leaving Orochimaru, Aoba walked straight toward Ramen Ichiraku. His mind still echoed what Orochimaru had said earlier.
What was going on?
Did Orochimaru know?
Or was he not?
What did he mean by that last sentence?
Did he want to plant a hickey on him?
Aoba thought as he walked. He knew that he would not be able to think of any results if he thought like this, but he could sort out his thoughts.
Orochimaru might have guessed something.
However, he had not completely guessed it.
Otherwise, he would not be so polite to come here and waste his breath!
Not long after.
Aoba came to Ramen Ichiraku's door.
"Brother Teuchi, a bowl of ramen."
Aoba lifted the curtain and sat in. The temperature outside was slightly cold but Noodle House was steaming hot so it dispersed the cold around him.
Aoba was not afraid of the cold.
But the temperature here gave him a very warm feeling.
It was this feeling.
It made him feel that the ninja world was not completely cold.
"Okay!"
When Teuchi saw that the person who had arrived was Aoba, he immediately responded. A smile appeared on his face, and his eyes directly narrowed.
...
Konohagakure, Hokage's office.
Hiruzen was looking at the scroll in his hand. Sitting opposite him was an old man with a bandage on his body. It was Shimura Danzo, while Nara Shikaku stood beside him.
In the huge office, there were only three of them.
"Sigh..."
Hiruzen sighed, closed the scroll in his hand, and placed it on the table. He looked straight ahead at the indifferent Danzo.
"The situation at the front is not very optimistic!"The inception of this chapter's publication is linked to N0v3lb11n.
Hiruzen was very helpless in his heart. Even though he had sent out a powerful battle force like Konoha White Fang, he still could not completely turn the situation around. After all, the overall combat strength of Konohagakure's ninjas was lower than that of Iwagakure's well-trained ninjas.
"Can't win?" Danzo seemed to have expected such a result. He had been paralyzed for only a few days, and the matter of the village had been messed up.
"The Chunin and Jonin in the village are almost all on the battlefield. The first group went to the Country of Earth, and the later group went to guard the Country of Wind. At the moment, the village is very empty, and it is difficult to deal with a sneak attack. However, in such a situation, the ninjas in the frontline can't resist and need more people!" Hiruzen's face was full of helplessness, and he looked a lot older. He said bitterly, "I also want to add more people, but I can't create people!"
"Since the frontline can't hold on, let's shrink the frontline back," Danzo suggested.
"It is very strange..." Hiruzen raised his right hand and pinched his chin. He said, "Whether it is Iwagakure ninjas or Sunagakure ninjas, they never push forward. They only care about the victory of the battle. It seems that they did not go all out, as if they were worried about something. But I don't know what they are thinking. Even if we slightly moved backward, they did not move forward easily. This feeling is like... They are the defending side!"
"Huh?" Danzo's eyes became sharp and he said in a low voice, "This situation is very abnormal. We need to face it carefully and send people to gather information. We need to figure out what is going on before we can proceed."
"We have sent people to search for information, but there is no result." Hiruzen shook his head.
At this time.
A thoughtful look appeared in Shikaku's eyes.
He had not spoken for a long time.
It was not that Hiruzen and Danzo were relatively important people and he could not interrupt when the two of them were talking. He was Hokage's office advisor. He could tell them if there were any problems.
Only...
After experiencing the previous series of events.
He had become a lot more mature and steady.
He had already learned to silently review his point of view a few times in his mind to make sure there were no problems before speaking out.
It would not be like before.
He thought that he was very smart, so he casually asked questions and firmly believed that he was right.
People were all growing up!
The reason why he kept making mistakes was so that he would not easily make mistakes in the future!
In the end, Shikaku was only a sixteen-year-old youth. His previous life had been rather smooth, and he had not really suffered any losses. He had not realized some of the problems that had appeared on his body.
"I have a guess..."
Shikaku took advantage of the time when Hiruzen and Danzo were silent and slowly spoke. He immediately attracted the attention of the two people.
The current him was no longer as sharp as before. Instead, he had become mature and reserved. He already had the feeling of a politician.
"Hurry up and say it," Hiruzen said anxiously.
"Iwagakure and Sunagakure attacked our Konohagakure at the same time. It is obvious that they have already discussed this matter. If I am not wrong, their two villages should have formed an alliance." Shikaku said in a deep voice.
"I think so too." Danzo nodded in agreement with Shikaku's point of view.
"According to common sense, their alliance should be more radical and take the opportunity to catch us off guard. They should not give us a chance to catch our breath, but they are very cautious. This makes me feel..." Shikaku paused for a moment and looked at Hiruzen. Then he looked at Danzo and finally said, "They have something to worry about!"
"That makes sense." Hiruzen followed Shikaku's thoughts and kept nodding.
"What are the worries?" Danzo also felt that Shikaku's words were very reasonable. After that, he analyzed, "Kumogakure is fighting with Kirigakure. Both sides are busy with their own affairs and can't spare any strength to sneak attack Iwagakure. Moreover, even if Iwagakure has worries, what about Sunagakure? Is it Amegakure?"
"Is there such a possibility?"
Shikaku narrowed his eyes. His heart was beating faster. Now that he thought of a possibility, he was no longer so sure about it. Instead, he began to listen to other people's opinions and discuss them.
Although both Hiruzen and Danzo had lower IQs than Shikaku, these two people had more experience in life. These were the parts that Shikaku lacked.
"Iwagakure is worried about Sunagakure!"
"Sunagakure is worried about Iwagakure!"
"There seems to be a close relationship between the two allied ninja villages!"
"But they are really not completely allied!"
"Since they are working together because of benefits..."
"Then it is possible to stand on the opposite side because of benefits!"
"I think..."
"They may have a disagreement on the distribution of benefits."
Shikaku spoke slowly and clearly, clearly stating the possibility that he thought of.

Chapter 462: This Young Man Is Still Very Young!
Shikaku was now far calmer than before. All of this was due to his misunderstanding with Aoba during the Chunin Exams, as well as the experience he gained after being educated by Aoba, who was disguised as a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan.
At this moment.
Compared to the previous him.
Everything he did, every word he was about to say, had to be carefully reviewed in his head before he was willing to say it out.
"Huh?!"
When Hiruzen and Danzo heard Shikaku's words, they widened their eyes at the same time. They had almost the same thought in their minds.
"It turned out to be like this!"
Hiruzen and Danzo looked at each other. They could see deep horror in each other's eyes. They had not thought of this before and naturally thought that the two ninja villages were on the same side.
This was a habitual thought.
They didn't bother to think of this place at all.
However.
Now that they heard what Shikaku said, they suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.
"I'm not saying that this is the case. I'm just suggesting this possibility. After all, the two ninja villages are acting exactly the same. If they want to attack us, Konohagakure, or if they are restrained by something, then this is the only reason I can think of."
Shikaku spoke again. He made some additions to what he said just now, and now his words were far more rigorous than before.
"I think it is very likely that the two sides are restraining each other."
Shikaku's voice echoed in the quiet office, clearly transmitted into the ears of Hiruzen and Danzo and making the two of them feel an indescribable feeling.
"That makes sense."
Danzo slowly nodded. He expressed his approval of Shikaku's judgment. This was the angle he had overlooked just now. He had never thought of this matter.
"We have been watching the collaboration between Iwagakure and Sunagakure, but we did not notice the suspicion between them!"
"They are two completely different villages."
"It's impossible to be completely united."
"I think what Shikaku is talking about is the core of this matter!"
"Something must have gone wrong between Iwagakure and Sunagakure!"
Danzo said in a low voice. After he had gone through Shikaku's judgment, he began to discover the things here one after another, and his grasp of the situation became even clearer.
"Very reasonable!"
Hiruzen's eyes suddenly lit up. This kind of discovery made him feel that the originally desperate situation suddenly became clear.
If there was any conflict between Iwagakure and Sunagakure...
Then, this situation changed from a two-on-one situation to a three-legged tripod. Any side had great worries.
Finally, he was no longer worried about being pincered by the two villages.
Hiruzen slowly let out a breath. At this moment, his mood was greatly relieved.
"Now is not the time to relax." Danzo glanced coldly at Hiruzen. After that, he said, "This mutually restrictive situation can only maintain temporary stability. The war is still going on. We can't sit still. We must break the deadlock first before the situation breaks down, otherwise, we will still be defeated in the end!"
"This..." The expression on Hiruzen's face, which had just relaxed, instantly became gloomy again.
"Shikaku, what do you think?" Danzo turned to look at Shikaku. Now, he was more concerned about Shikaku's opinion. The series of analyses that Shikaku had just said had won his approval.
"I think we need to wait for the information sent back from the frontline. After confirming what is going on, we will make the corresponding thought. If we act rashly now, it is very likely to lead to a disaster." Shikaku said cautiously. In fact, he believed in his own judgment in his heart, but after what had happened before, he had become less radical.
"You are wrong!"
However.
Right at this moment.
Danzo rejected Shikaku's idea almost without hesitation.
He stared at Shikaku with his exposed eyes and spoke slowly in a relatively low tone.
"Your point of view has been recognized by us. The next step is to discuss how to break the situation instead of continuing to hide."
"You must know that every minute and second in a war is precious!"
"Now that we have discovered such a thing, it means that we have already obtained the initiative. Such opportunities are rare, and once we don't grasp it, it will be fleeting."
"Your hesitation will result in missing such an opportunity!"
Although Danzo's tone was cold, there was no intention of reprimanding him. Instead, it was more like he was teaching Shikaku. By relying on his powerful insight ability, he had already discovered that Shikaku was deeply trapped in an overly cautious situation.
"But..." A faint fluctuation appeared in Shikaku's eyes. He said, "We did not obtain any definite information. If my speculation is wrong, then it might cause the village to fall into a passive situation!"
"No!"
Danzo shook his head again and stared at Shikaku.
"If we just wait for the information to be sent back, then we will truly fall into a passive state!"
"Your deduction is reasonable and convincing, but for some reason, you are lacking in confidence!"
"It is impossible for every judgment in a war to be correct. In special times, special treatment is necessary. Even if it's almost fleeting, we must get this chance of survival!"
"Otherwise..."
"What are we speculating about when the result is still to wait for information to be sent back?"
Every word of Danzo was like a nail that was directly nailed into Shikaku's heart, making his eyes wide open, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Tap!
All of a sudden.
A hand patted him on the shoulder.
It pulled him back from this confused state.
"Shikaku."
Hiruzen said slowly. His voice was not very loud, but there was a hint of gentleness. The image of him standing in front of the sun quietly appeared. He looked like a kind elder who was staring at the younger generation.
"Let's have a chat."
A smile appeared on Hiruzen's face. He might not be good at other things, but no one was better than him when it came to pass on the will of fire.
"Danzo."
"I'll leave the war to you."
"I'll talk to Shikaku."
"Make the arrangements according to your current plan."
"We can't miss such an opportunity!"
Hiruzen explained to Danzo. When Danzo and Shikaku were discussing, he did not speak but focused on listening.
After listening.
He felt that it made sense.
Therefore, he directly made the decision.
"Understood."
Danzo did not say anything else. He stood up and walked out. Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Shikaku.
This young man was still very young!
There was still a long way to go in the future!
However...
He was indeed a good seedling!
It's just that this person was very hesitant when doing things...
This thought flashed through Danzo's mind, and after that, he no longer thought about it. After all, he still had many things to do, and these were just a small part of it.
...
After Danzo left.
Only Hiruzen and Shikaku were left in the office.
"Sandaime-sama..."
Shikaku looked at Hiruzen. He had already realized what Hiruzen wanted to say. He understood the confusion he was facing right now, but he did not know what to do at the moment.
Shikaku was in a period of confusion!
This was a moment that comes up in almost everyone's life!
No matter how smart a person was...
There would be times when he couldn't figure it out.
"Shikaku, the current you is very hesitant when doing things. Is it related to Uzumaki Nagato?"
Hiruzen was keenly aware of Shikaku's abnormality. At first, he thought that Shikaku had grown up and become more stable than before. He was not so decisive when doing things.
"I..."
Shikaku hesitated. He wanted to say something, but he did not know where to start. He was like a person who had been bitten by a snake. Now, he was extremely cautious when he saw a rope.
"I understand."The inception of this chapter's publication is linked to N0v3lb11n.
Hiruzen nodded, then patted Shikaku on the shoulder again and said gently, "Sit down."
After that.
Hiruzen took the lead and sat on the chair behind the desk.
Shikaku nodded and sat down. He faced Hiruzen head-on, which made his eyes dodge. He did not know how to respond.
"Cautious is a good thing!"
"But being overly cautious is not necessarily a good thing!"
"The same..."
"Impulses are often not good."
"But it is also wrong to completely restrain impulse!"
Hiruzen's voice slowly sounded. He had already discovered the problem of Shikaku's illness and had now begun to speak.
"Just like you did before."
"You are very confident."
"You are even confident to the point of being conceited."
"This is too much."
"And now, you are too overcautious."
"This will make you very hesitant."
"Can you understand what I mean?"
Hiruzen said one sentence at a time. He stared at Shikaku kindly. It was like a father looking at a child. It immediately made Shikaku feel extremely warm.
"I understand." Shikaku immediately nodded. After that, he stared at Hiruzen and continued, "But I don't know what to do!"
"It's a matter of degree."
Hiruzen picked up his smoking pipe and put it in his mouth. He was very good at psychological counseling.
"Everything can't be too much, and can't be less, it must be within a just-right range!"
"We can't be blindly confident!"
"We can't be lacking confidence!"
"This is the principle of everything I do."
"I can't tell you exactly what is right!"
"This requires you to slowly explore it in your future life, but what I can tell you is that you need to try to find a middle point!"
"Shikaku."
"You are a smart person!"
"I believe that you will find a solution soon!"
Hiruzen nodded at Shikaku. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. He belongs to the kind of character who likes to understand others. This also allowed him to gain the hearts of many people in Konohagakure, treating him as the light in the village.

Chapter 463: Midoritsuchi
"I'm done eating!"
Aoba looked at the empty bowl in front of him and felt very satisfied. Every time he came to Ramen Ichiraku, he could feel warm when he ate ramen, which made him feel very comfortable after eating.
"Brother Teuchi, I have something to do. I'll go first."
Aoba immediately got up and left Ramen Ichiraku. This time, he only came to eat a bowl of ramen and did not stay for too long.
Mainly because he hasn't shown himself for a long time.
He had to show himself in front of these people at least once.
Especially before he wanted to make trouble.
After that.
Aoba walked straight in the direction of Anbu dormitory, causing many people who were staring at him to have doubts in their hearts.
Not long after.
Aoba smoothly returned to the Anbu dormitory and disappeared from the sight of these people.
"What's wrong with this person? Does he not move at all?" A ninja who was in charge of monitoring in the dark could not help but mutter. He had been squatting here for several days, and now he could calculate it. He only ate a bowl of ramen and then went back. This kind of behavior was too strange.
"That is indeed what the intelligence said," Another person explained.
"That's right. This young man named Yamanaka Aoba rarely comes into contact with others. He usually stays in Anbu's dormitory most of the time. He basically doesn't come out when he has nothing to do. It is said that he is composing." Another person said.
"Forget it, I am just casually complaining. Our mission is too easy." The first person who spoke said. There were only three of them here. They were a ninja team, and they were specially sent by Hiruzen to watch Aoba.
"At least it's better than going to the battlefield!" Another person said with a smile.
"You guys keep an eye on him. I will report to Sandaime-sama!" After the last person finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared.
...
After Aoba returned to his room, he immediately used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique), leaving behind a shadow clone. He sat on a chair and picked up a book on the table.
"If nothing goes wrong, I can finish writing today."
Aoba stared at the book and then looked at the shadow clone next to him. Now the book in his hand is a collection of short stories. It mainly focuses on the youth campus series in Ninja School. It mainly focuses on female students and teachers. A short story was an independent story, which does not seem to be laborious, and there was no continuity between each article, which can produce a very fragmented reading experience.
This kind of experience was different from the long story.
Aoba had already written a few long stories from his memory. He found that the same protagonist would always make the readers tired, so he developed this kind of fragmented short story collection method.
At that time.
Aoba used to like reading this type of story.
After all, the story was short and the essence was concentrated.
Very easy to use.
"Yes."
Aoba's shadow clone nodded. He immediately sat down on the chair, picked up the pen on the table, and began to write rapidly in the book.
After all, he was no longer an ordinary person.
He had Sage Body.
Moreover, he also obtained a huge amount of chakra.
As long as he poured the chakra into his brain, he can activate the memory in his subconscious and could present the things he has seen before almost perfectly.
To put it simply, it means never forgetting.
Based on such conditions, Aoba was able to create all kinds of masterpieces because he was knowledgeable before transmigration. In addition, the story must be in the background of the ninja world which allows him to roam freely in the process of writing without any problems at all.
On the other side.
Aoba opened the wardrobe and took out a special mask. He put the mask on his face and put on a cloak.
After putting on the cloak hood.
Aoba's appearance was completely hidden.
"Now I have to go to the front line to take a look."
With a thought, Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). He had already locked onto the Flying Thunder God Formula left on the battlefield.
The next moment.
Aoba directly appears on the border of the Country of Fire and the Country of Earth.
Swish!
With Aoba's appearance.
The bushes in a shadowy part moved a little.
However, no one noticed it.
"Is this the front line?"
Aoba was stunned for a moment. He found that this place was so quiet. It seemed that the battle had ended.
"Strange."
Aoba slowly closed his eyes and immediately controlled his powerful perception to spread out in all directions.
Almost in an instant.
He discovered one chakra fluctuation after another.
This chakra fluctuation was very concentrated. A part of it was on the side of the Country of Fire, and a part was on the side of the Country of Earth.
There was a relatively safe distance between these two groups of people.
From the distribution of chakra fluctuations...
They maintained a stable environment.
"Hmm?"
Aoba was stunned for a moment. This scene was a little different from what he had expected. It seemed that there was a problem somewhere.
Thinking about it.
Aoba's mind moved.
There was a sound of paper flipping on his body, and his skin began to peel off instantly. After that, it was like a shuffling poker card, turning into a different appearance.
As the paper flipped.
Aoba became a different person.
This was an Iwagakure ninja. His name was Midoritsuchi. He was the Third Tsuchikage guard, who was responsible for delivering information to Onoki.
This person's identity.
It was what Aoba saw in Onoki's memory.
So.
Relatively speaking, you can still see some of this person's character.
Of course.
Aoba did not completely imitate it.
After all, when Midoritsuchi was working as a guard, he faced Onoki in one way, but when it comes to facing other people, it may be different.
Because of this.
Aoba did not choose to strike first but used a relatively passive appearance.
Swish!
With a thought, Aoba once again used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). On the back side of Iwagakure's front line, he left behind a Flying Thunder God Formula on this side when he went to Iwagakure not long ago.
In such a position.
Aoba seemed to rush over from Iwagakure.
Soon.
Aoba arrived at the Iwagakure's camp. When he appeared in the sight of Iwagakure's ninjas, he was instantly discovered by these people.
"Someone is coming!"
The Iwagakure's camp sentry immediately picked up the binoculars and looked at Aoba's face.
"It's Midoritsuchi-sama!"
The ninja immediately recognized Aoba's identity. They were not unfamiliar with Midoritsuchi, it was like how Konohagakure's ninjas recognized Nara Shikaku.
"Open the door!"
"Open the door for Midoritsuchi-sama!"
"Go and inform the commander of the news!"
The sentry spoke continuously. His tone was very urgent. As an Iwagakure ninja, he was very clear that Midoritsuchi's arrival often indicated that the other party had brought information from Third Tsuchikage.
"Yes!"
A ninja immediately responded. After that, he got up and walked toward the inner side of the camp.
Not long after.
A dignified-looking Iwagakure Jonin came out to greet Aoba. When he saw Aoba coming over from afar, his eyes showed a faint doubt.
"What is Midoritsuchi-sama doing here?"
This Jonin was the ninja in charge of this place. A big question mark appeared on his head. After all, Midoritsuchi did not care about the matters here before. If there was any information, he would send people over.
Now, he actually came here personally.
Looks like...
Something big had happened.
"Midoritsuchi-sama, why are you here?"
When this Jonin saw Aoba walk to the entrance of the camp, he immediately greeted him with a smile. In terms of rank, they were all Jonin, but the latter was someone close to the Tsuchikage. In the face of such a person, they usually had to give face.
Aoba looked at the person who greeted him.
For a moment, he did not know what the latter was called.
Was he the person in charge?
After all...
The memories that Aoba obtained from Onoki did not have any war-related information. The war arrangement was something that had happened after he read Onoki's memories.
Now, he did not dare to speak rashly.
If there was something wrong with what he said.
It would immediately attract attention.
However...
It was not that Aoba did not have a solution. Otherwise, he would not have come over directly. He raised his right hand and waved to the ninja in front of him.
"Come over here."
Aoba said lightly. He controlled the chakra in his throat and coupled with Sage Body's chakra control, he could easily imitate the Midoritsuchi's voice in Onoki's memory.
"???"This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Bi(j)n.
The question mark on the ninja's head became more and more. He didn't know what Midoritsuchi wanted to do, but he didn't refuse. He took a step forward and walked to Aoba's side
At this moment.
Aoba raised his right hand.
He directly touched the ninja's head.
Facing such a scene.
This ninja instinctively wanted to dodge and refuse.
But...
Thinking that the other party was the Tsuchikage guard, he restrained himself and held back this impulse.
Slapped!
At this time, Aoba directly slapped the ninja on the head, and it was quite hard!
"What's the matter with you!"
After Aoba finished slapping him, he immediately berated him. His words were sharp, making people feel that he was angry. He directly gave the ninja a hard time.
"I... What about me?"
The ninja stared at Aoba in a daze. If not for what Aoba had said just now, he would have immediately turned hostile. However, when he heard the latter words, his mind was completely stunned.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Doton: Retsudo Tensho(Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm)!"
A clear electronic prompt rang out in Aoba's mind, and waves of memories flooded into his mind. However, none of this was important. What he paid attention to was this person's memories.
He quickly checks this person's memories.
Iwagakure Jonin, Michiru.
This ninja was the commander of Iwagakure's ninja army.
"Michiru."
"Tsuchikage-sama asked me to slap you!"
"He asked me to ask you."
"What the hell is going on with you?"
"Haven't you taken down Konohagakure yet?"
Aoba snapped. He was talking while reading Michiru's memory. He needed to quickly grasp the information here.
"Isn't Tsu..."
Michiru was just about to explain, saying that this was Tsuchikage-sama's order. He could not advance too rashly. He had to maintain a distance from Iwagakure where he could come back at any time. Why did it change now?
However.
Before he could finish speaking.
He was interrupted by Aoba.
"Tsuchikage-sama said that we need to defeat Konohagakure now. You know what to do!"
Aoba imitated a relatively arrogant state. In Michiru's memory, Midoritsuchi spoke like this.
"As for the rest..."
"Don't say too much."
"You have to know that Tsuchikage-sama is always right!"
"Now Tsuchikage-sama doesn't want to see you dilly-dallying here!"
"Do you understand?"
Aoba glanced at Michiru coldly. He deliberately used this method to make Michiru think and judge himself. Through Michiru's memories, he found that Michiru was a person with active thinking.
"Oh~"
Michiru nodded in realization and instantly understood something.
"I understand!"
Michiru thought for a moment and knew what was going on.
He received an order from the Third Tsuchikage.
However, this order caused Iwagakure to be unable to attack.
This meant that this order was incorrect.
But Tsuchikage-sama must be always correct!
So...
The previous decision was just a moment of confusion!
Now that he had received the Third Tsuchikage's order, he could now overcome all obstacles and defeat Konohagakure's ninjas without any qualms.
Of course.
The credit for the final victory in the war must belong to Third Tsuchikage!
They had walked on the right path to victory under the wise leadership of Third Tsuchikage!
Michiru instantly figured it out. After he figured it out, he did not have any dissatisfaction. Instead, he nodded at Aoba. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a smile.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 464: Understand Everything
Michiru himself was a quick-thinking person. When he has nothing to do, he will spend time with familiar ninjas and speculate on the meaning that the Tsuchikage inadvertently reveals.
These memories were accurately captured by Aoba.
Because of this.
Aoba had used such a strategy just now to deliberately make things unclear, so as to arouse Michiru's speculation.
Sure enough.
Michiru instantly understood.
This saved Aoba the energy to explain.
"Michiru, do your best. Tsuchikage-sama will not treat you unfairly."
Aoba nodded at Michiru. After that, he turned around and left in the direction he came from. The entire process was clean and neat without any sloppiness.
This made the Iwagakure ninjas feel that apart from coming over to say these words, Midoritsuchi had no other intentions.
It was just...
Just to explain such a thing
He especially made a trip.
Was it really that important?
"Cough cough..."
Just as everyone was thinking, Iwagakure camp commander, Michiru, cleared his throat and pulled everyone's attention to him. He immediately met everyone's gaze.
If it was someone else, perhaps they would suspect Aoba's abnormal behavior.
However.
For Michiru.
He did not think so.
After he became a ninja, he has been good at thinking and interpreting all kinds of information that were easy to ignore in the past.
"Michiru-sama, what are we going to do? Midoritsuchi-sama doesn't seem to have said anything!" At this time, the ninja beside Michiru asked doubtfully.
"Hahahahaha..."
When Michiru heard this ninja's question, he immediately laughed loudly. The lines on his face became much more ostentatious, and he looked quite proud.
"You don't understand, do you?" Michiru said with a smile.
"I don't understand." The ninja shook his head. He really did not have a deep understanding of Aoba's words.
"Alright, listen to me!"
Michiru casually waved his hand. When he was very young, he knew that his analytical and reasoning ability was his unique advantage. Many people did not have this advantage, so every time this happened, he would feel a great sense of superiority in his heart.
"Midoritsuchi-sama doesn't seem to say anything, but he said everything. It's just that you didn't hear it, and you don't know how to listen!"
Michiru smiled. He felt that this was his time. He especially liked to share his time. This would greatly satisfy his heart. Moreover, through this matter, he told his heart that what he said was right and this was what happened.
"Before I explain it to you, I will ask you a question first. Think carefully before answering me." Michiru stared at the ninja and said.
"Okay." The ninja nodded.
"Why do you think Midoritsuchi-sama wants to deliver it personally instead of sending someone?" Michiru stared at the ninja and said with a smile, "You have to know that the previous intelligence was sent over by someone. This is the first time Midoritsuchi-sama has come!"
"This..."
When the ninja heard Michiru's words, he was stunned. It was indeed such a problem. He had also discovered this matter.
That's right!
Why did he personally come?
He had unconsciously overlooked such a problem just now.
Midoritsuchi was a person beside Onoki.
He was not a simple messenger ninja. He did not need to spend so much effort to come to this place.
But...
Midoritsuchi really didn't say anything!
"Please tell me in detail, Michiru-sama!"
This ninja had already realized the problem that had occurred here. Just now, he had thought that the matter was too simple. He only saw the appearance and didn't notice the essential problem.
What exactly was going on here?
He was not sure either.
He could only stare at Michiru with wide eyes.
"Just as I said, Midoritsuchi-sama will not come so easily. Since he comes here, it is enough to show that this is indeed something big!" Michiru began to analyze.
After hearing Michiru's words, the ninja immediately nodded his head and began to follow Michiru's thought process.
"Just now, you also said..."
"Midoritsuchi-sama did not say anything!"
"But he came here personally!"
"Then do you think he will come for nothing?"
"Obviously not!"
"This is enough to explain one thing!"
When Michiru said this, his tone paused. His thinking was very agile. He enjoyed the process of reasoning very much. After that, he immediately stared at the ninja, wanting to see the other party's reaction.
"What is it?" The ninja immediately asked.
"Hahahahaha!"
Michiru laughed again. He was obviously very satisfied with the ninja's reaction. After all, if the other party was completely out of tune, it would be meaningless.
After laughing.
He stared at the ninja.
"It means that Midoritsuchi-sama definitely has something to do here, and it is a particularly big matter. It is so big that this kind of thing can't be said clearly. He vaguely expresses this kind of meaning. Do you understand?" Michiru said in a low voice.
"I... I understand..." The ninja did not react at the beginning, but the more he listened, the more he felt that this was indeed the case. He gradually had a feeling of realization.
"Then what is it? Midoritsuchi-sama can't say it out loud. Have you thought about this problem?" Michiru stared at the ninja and asked.
"This... this... this..." The ninja immediately widened his eyes. He had not thought of so many things. To him, these things were already a serious overview. These things were not within his scope of thinking.
For a moment.
The ninja still quickly thought about it.
Only...
He was not a person who was good at analyzing such things. In addition, this kind of thing happened too quickly. Even if he thought about it now, it would make him feel very unprepared.
What was going on?
He couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't understand it.
"Please explain, Michiru-sama!"
The ninja looked at Michiru with a change in expression. Now, he was clearly aware of how powerful Michiru was.
In such a short time.
He clearly understood Midoritsuchi-sama's will just like that.
The two quickly passed the order tacitly.
In the end, Midoritsuchi-sama left as if he didn't say anything.
He left behind a bunch of stunned ninjas.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Such comprehension ability!
Such reaction speed!
No wonder Michiru-sama was different!
This ninja could not help but take a deep breath. In his heart, he had already begun to worship Michiru.
"Actually..."
Michiru nodded in satisfaction. He keenly caught the change in the ninja's eyes. This greatly satisfied his vanity and gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
This kind of comfortable feeling.
It made his heart feel extremely comfortable!
"This question is very simple!"
"You just have to follow Midoritsuchi-sama's will and think about it!"
"Midoritsuchi-sama has come personally, which means that there is something big!"
"If Midoritsuchi-sama didn't tell us the truth, it means that the impact of this matter is not good. He doesn't want more people to know!"
"Or..."
"Midoritsuchi-sama doesn't want more people to know!"This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Bi(j)n.
Michiru restrained the smile on his face. He looked extremely serious. In just a short period of time, he had already caught a lot of information.
"Hiss..."
When the ninja heard this, he sucked in a breath of cold air and his eyes widened in shock.
Got it!
When he reached this point!
He finally understood!
"Could it be..."
The ninja took a deep breath again and tried to calm himself down, making himself look more composed. In his mind, he had already thought of a possibility that even he himself thought was terrible.
"It has something to do with Tsuchikage-sama?!"
After this ninja said this, even he was afraid. In Iwagakure, as long as it involved the Tsuchikage, there would be no small matter. It was all big matters.
"That's right!"
Michiru nodded. His eyes flashed with praise. He suddenly had a feeling that this child could be taught. After all, at this point in time, it was already very difficult to realize this point after his guidance.
"Let's go over there and talk."
Michiru walked step by step into the camp. As he moved, the ninja followed him. As the two of them walked away, there were no other ninjas around them.
However.
Even so.
Michiru still lowered his voice.
"Do you still remember what Tsuchikage-sama specifically told us before we left?" Michiru asked in a deep voice.
"What matter?" The ninja asked.
"The most important one!" Michiru said.
"You mean..." The ninja said seriously, "We can't leave too far away from the village. Even if we beat Konohagakure ninjas, don't chase them. Keep a distance from the village where we can come back to support at any time."
"That's right." Michiru nodded.
"We did that!" There was a faint doubt in the ninja's eyes.
"It's not a question of whether we followed through, but what do you think this order means?" Michiru thought a little deeper.
"It means..." This ninja did not think too much about it. He frowned and assumed a thinking posture. He immediately said, "Are Konohagakure ninjas very dangerous?"
"No." Michiru shook his head and did not give the ninja a chance to continue guessing. He said, "The village is in danger, and we need to come back to help at any time. It is not how strong Konohagakure is, but who the enemy we are facing is. It is not very clear, but it may be another village!"
"Kumogakure?" This ninja immediately thought of the powerful Kumogakure.
"In fact, you can think a little more boldly," Michiru revealed a meaningful smile.
"Could it be that there are other villages?" The ninja frowned even more. After that, he thought of a possibility and said, "Amegakure?"
"Have you never thought about Sunagakure?" The corners of Michiru's mouth slightly curled up. He had already seen through the matters here.
"This... This... Aren't we allies?" This ninja was immediately stunned.
"The agreement between villages has always been very fragile. Moreover, Third Kazekage personally came to our Iwagakure, which also affected Tsuchikage-sama's reputation. This also caused Tsuchikage-sama to have some concerns about Sunagakure." Michiru analyzed.
"So that's how it is!" The ninja nodded.
In fact.
They didn't know.
This was no longer a concern.
Instead, "Sunagakure" really attacked.
Although it was just a pile of puppets and did not cause any substantial losses, it had already attracted Onoki's attention. Onoki was afraid that the ninjas on the front line would be distracted so he did not inform them.
Because of this.
The ninjas on the front line did not know that Iwagakure had already been attacked by "Sunagakure".
"Tsuchikage-sama must have made up his mind during this period of time and decided to attack Konohagakure vigorously, but he couldn't change the order overnight. This will make the ninjas think that Tsuchikage-sama has made a wrong decision, so Midoritsuchi-sama didn't say it explicitly and just said that Tsuchikage-sama is right. Do you understand now?" Michiru explained.
"I seem to understand..."
The ninja nodded and then shook his head. He said, "But I don't seem to completely understand."
"Since Tsuchikage-sama made the wrong decision..."
"Then how could Tsuchikage-sama be right?"
"Isn't this contradictory?"
After thinking about it, the ninja found that he did not understand. The things here were not so easy to understand.
"This is the real purpose of Midoritsuchi-sama coming here!" Michiru's eyes flashed with wisdom. Finally, he explained, "We have to take responsibility for this. We have not taken down Konohagakure because our fighting strength is not enough, not because of Tsuchikage-sama's order. Tsuchikage-sama has never made such a decision!"
"I understand!"
The ninja suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he finally understood what was going on.
He understood!
He felt like a thin film had been pierced!
He had suddenly entered another world!
The scenery he saw had changed!
"What we need to do now is to attack Konohagakure with all our might. We can't disappoint Tsuchikage-sama!"
Michiru slowly nodded. He made a perfect interpretation of what Aoba had done.
If Aoba was here and heard these words, he would definitely give Michiru a thumbs up and then shout out good guy!
Even he himself did not think so much!
At that time, Aoba did not have that much meaning. He was just afraid of exposing too much, so he made a riddle similar to "understand everything".
Unexpectedly...
It really made Michiru pretend to understand it!
...
At this time.
Aoba walked toward Iwagakure step by step.
He was still in Midoritsuchi's appearance.
Therefore, he could not suddenly disappear or make any inappropriate actions.
Just like this.
Aoba walked for a while.
When he was in a relatively isolated area.
Flipped! Flipped! Flipped!...
The paper on Aoba's body began to flip and change, causing his image to change again...
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 465: One Hand Seal in Both Hand
Flipped! Flipped!...
Along with the sound of paper flipping.
Aoba's appearance changed from the original Iwagakure ninja Midoritsuchi to a different appearance. His height became even taller and his figure became thinner. From the perspective of physical condition, he was already superior.
Immediately after.
Aoba's hair turned silvery-white.
The clothes on his body revealed a Konohagakure's ninja attire.
In an instant, his appearance changed. He was the commander of Konohagakure's ninja army, Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo.
"Now it's time for Iwagakure!"
A hint of coldness flashed through Aoba's eyes. He had spent a lot of effort in order to make the Third Ninja World War more chaotic. However, even now, he hadn't had smooth sailing. Seeing that Minato was about to return made him feel very tired.
This was not what he wanted!
Now, he was going to attack Iwagakure with the identity of Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo.
Actually.
As for Hatake Sakumo.
Aoba was still very familiar with him.
After all, he had already read the latter's memories through the system.
Just...
'Wait!'
Aoba suddenly stopped. His eyes fell into deep thought. He suddenly realized that Hatake Sakumo was a very fragile person.
His teammates and the public opinion in the village could make him think of committing suicide.
If he did something with Hatake Sakumo's name this time, Hatake Sakumo's heart would probably become very chaotic.
Perhaps it would have some opposite effects.
"Not too good."
Aoba took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly. He suddenly realized that he still needed to be careful when using Hatake Sakumo's identity.
This identity would not bring him any trouble.
It was just that it might affect Hatake Sakumo himself.
"Change to who?"
Aoba narrowed his eyes slightly, his right hand pinching his chin. Right now, he could not just casually change into an unknown person. He had to become a Konohagakure ninja who would cause Iwagakure to be extremely angry.
That person couldn't be in the ninja army.
Otherwise, it would be very easy to be exposed.
When Aoba became Hatake Sakumo, he didn't care about the consequences. Anyway, the battle was going to start, and it would become very chaotic at that time.
But now that he thought about it.
There seemed to be no point in doing so.
"Then it can only be you."
Aoba's eyes narrowed into slits. At this moment, there were not many famous ninjas among Konohagakure. You can even count it with your finger.
Flipped Flipped Flipped...
Almost in an instant.
The pieces of paper on Aoba's body flipped again. His image changed rapidly from Hatake Sakumo.
The most obvious change was the color of his hair.
It changed from silver to black now.
"Alright."
Aoba's body had already disguised itself as Orochimaru through Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique). He had just met Orochimaru not long ago, and he still had the most basic understanding of Orochimaru's appearance. In addition, he had watched anime before, so he was very clear about what Orochimaru's character was.
As one of Konoha Sannin.
Orochimaru was qualified to directly anger Iwagakure.
After completing the change in his appearance, Aoba thought for a moment, then took out a mask and put it on his face, covering his appearance a little.
"This way, there will be no problem!"
Aoba slowly nodded. If he hadn't taken out this mask just now and instead used Orochimaru's face to show it to others, then it would have caused suspicion instead.
After all, Orochimaru wasn't a fool.
How could he not disguise himself when doing things?
Most importantly...
Orochimaru himself was an expert in disguise. If he revealed his true appearance to others, then things would seem too deliberate.
Of course.
Aoba was very clear.
As long as he did so.
Whether it was Hatake Sakumo or Orochimaru, it will eventually be pointed at his vest Uzumaki Nagato.
After all, before this.
He had already used Nagato's vest to show Hiruzen that he could imitate his voice.
However.
Aoba did not care about such a thing.
He had said that at that time.
It was to deliberately put such things on the vest Uzumaki Nagato, and then use this method to separate all things from himself.
By guiding everything to Uzumaki Nagato, it naturally had nothing to do with Yamanaka Aoba.
...
After Aoba transformed into Orochimaru, he began to speed up and quickly rushed in the direction of Iwagakure. He was looking for all kinds of bunkers along the way to simulate a normal way of travel so that people could think that Orochimaru was really doing these things.
Not long after.
Aoba directly arrived at Iwagakure's location.
No one noticed him along the way.
After that.
Aoba's figure flashed, just like a ninja who came to sneak attack, he directly crossed Iwagakure's high wall and blatantly exposed himself in front of Iwagakure's ninjas.
"Enemy attack!"
Suddenly.
The ninjas in Iwagakure keenly noticed Aoba's figure.
The sound they made almost tore the sky apart.
It was clearly transmitted into the ears of Iwagakure ninjas almost in an instant.
This time.
A large part of the reason why the ninjas in Iwagakure were able to discover what happened here so quickly was that Aoba had previously taught them a lesson.
After all, not long ago.
He had just simulated becoming Sunagakure's ninja and launched a sneak attack on Iwagakure.
After that experience.
Iwagakure's alertness had become abnormally high.
In addition, Aoba intentionally guided this matter. He did not deliberately hide his whereabouts and directly rushed toward Iwagakure. It would be very difficult to not be discovered.
Whoosh!
Along with this sharp shout, Iwagakure's ninjas suddenly became active. Almost everyone's attention was on Aoba.
This was the effect that Aoba wanted.
Facing such a scene, Aoba did not panic at all. He immediately raised his hands and quickly made a series of hand seals.
"Doton: Doryudan(Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet)!"The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Nôv3l--Biin.
Aoba lowered his voice, making it impossible for people to distinguish his identity. A powerful chakra flowed from his feet into the ground, causing the entire ground of Iwagakure to shake.
Rumble!
Along with this sound, a giant dragon head made of mud instantly drilled out from the ground. Along the way, it destroyed many of Iwagakure's buildings. The destructive power was very strong. It directly shocked Iwagakure's ninjas.
"What is this thing?"
"Earth Dragon Bullet?"
"This is an Earth Dragon Bullet?"
"Have any of you seen such a big Earth Dragon Bullet?"
"Is it fake?"
"How powerful is this ninja?"
"This is too terrifying!"
"..."
One ninja after another couldn't help but discuss. Their gazes were all focused on the Earth Dragon Bullet that Aoba had executed.
Although it was just an ordinary ninjutsu.
Even most of the people here know this ninjutsu and could use it.
However, there are still very few people who can use the Earth Dragon Bullet like this. After all, Aoba's chakra was too thick.
In a short time.
Countless people in Iwagakure looked toward the Earth Dragon Bullet's direction, and their eyes had different expressions.
Such a scene.
Even Onoki, who was in Tsuchikage's office, felt it.
He immediately flew out.
When he saw such a terrifying Earth Dragon Bullet, even he felt his scalp go numb. He thought that he had lived for so long and had seen all kinds of scenes. However, he had never seen such a scene before.
"No!"
Onoki's eyes flashed with determination. He couldn't let this kind of Earth Dragon Bullet directly hit Iwagakure. Otherwise, who knows how many ninjas would die? As Iwagakure Tsuchikage, he couldn't allow such a thing to happen.
"Jinton(Dust Release)!"
Onoki immediately raised his hands and created a nearly transparent and hazy cube in his hands. Strands of chakra were gathering toward the cube.
When Onoki appeared.
It also attracted Aoba's attention.
All of a sudden.
The corner of Aoba's mouth behind the mask slightly curled up. He was waiting for such a moment. After all, he only had one goal this time, and that was Onoki.
All of a sudden.
Aoba once again raised his hands and began to quickly make a series of hand seals.
"Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu(Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique)!"
After Aoba made a series of hand seals, powerful and ferocious chakra surged out. This was an even more violent and savage chakra. This terrifying chakra directly condensed a water dragon.
The water dragon looked similar to the earth dragon.
However, the water dragon looks crystal clear. Standing in this Iwagakure, it looks like a work of art, presenting a feeling of yearning to the ninjas in Iwagakure.
In comparison.
The earth dragon seemed a bit dirty.
"What's going on?"
"Water release ninjutsu?"
"This person actually dares to use water-release ninjutsu on Iwagakure?"
"I'm afraid he doesn't know how Second Mizukage died!"
"But this water-release ninjutsu looks so powerful!"
"..."
The ninjas in Iwagakure began to talk with each other, especially after the appearance of the Third Tsuchikage, they knew clearly that the situation here has stabilized. The only thing left was to watch the show.
After all, Onoki was an almost invincible existence in their heart.
Looking at the entire ninja world.
Not many people were a match for Onoki!
"Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu(Detachment of the Primitive World Technique)!"
Onoki looked at the water dragon that suddenly formed. The water dragon rushed toward him at a terrifying speed, forcing him to deal with the water dragon first before he could deal with the earth dragon.
Swish!
The cube in Onoki's hand instantly rushed forward and directly met the surging water dragon.
Hum!
Just as the cube collided with the water dragon, there was a sound of vibration. The cube quickly expanded and wrapped the water dragon up, turning it into particles.
"Good."
Aoba looked at Onoki and said a word of praise. However, he only had a praising look on his face. He didn't have such a thought in his heart. After all, it was really impossible for him to win if he fight Onoki with only a water dragon.
After the water dragon was broken down by Onoki, Onoki immediately controlled the cube and attacked the earth dragon. He needed to get rid of the earth dragon that was spraying mud bullets at Iwagakure.
However.
Just at this time.
Aoba quickly formed seals with his hands.
However, his hands did not collide, and the seals he formed in each hand were completely different.
"What kind of hand seals are these?"
"These seem to be two different hand seals?"
"I have never seen such a method of forming seals!"
"No! There are two hand seals! Two different techniques!"
"I can also see that he is forming seals with both hands. Each of them is different. He is using both hands to form a one-hand seal at the same time!"
"Is this person a monster?"
"This is too scary!"
"..."
The ninjas looked at Aoba's movements and couldn't help but start discussing. They all noticed the abnormality in Aoba's movements. This was not a normal method of forming hand seals, so the visual impact it gave them was very strong.
Of course.
Not only Iwagakure's ninja exclaimed.
Onoki was also shocked.
He had seen people who made hand seals with one hand.
But people like this who made one-hand seal in both hands at the same time...
This was the first time he had seen it!
Just as everyone was marveling at Aoba's movements, Aoba had already completed the hand seal. His two hands finally froze together.
"Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu(Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique)!"
"Katon: Karyudan(Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet)!"
Aoba's indifferent voice slowly sounded. After he said this, two dragons appeared on both sides of his body at the same time.
One was a water dragon.
The other was a fire dragon.
The water dragon and fire dragon simultaneously rushed toward Onoki, creating a strange feeling of water and fire dragons.
As for the cube in Onoki's hand.
It becomes an accessory adding beauty to it.
"Who are you?"
Onoki looked at the two different dragons that appeared at the same time and frowned. Now he realized that the person in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person.
Although such ninjutsu has always been used.
But from the beginning until now.
He had already used three types of ninjutsu in a short period of time.
This was simply not something an ordinary ninja could do!

Chapter 466: Kushina Will Be Very Satisfied
When Onoki asked this question, he had a faint answer in his heart. He knew that such a ninja would only appear in one place, and that was Konohagakure!
Most of the chakra attributes in a ninja come from previous inheritance, and the remaining part depends on acquired efforts.
For example, his Jinton(Dust Release)'s bloodline limit.
It wasn't passed down to him by his father, but by the Second Tsuchikage, who taught him by combining three types of chakra change and producing a Kekkei Tota.
It was precisely because the requirements for this bloodline limit were too harsh that his lineage could not inherit this ability.
In the ninja world, the attributes that ninjas possess are also closely related to the environment in which they live.
Kirigakure was in an island country and Amegakure was in a country that had been raining for many years. There was a lot of water vapor in those places so the ninjas there generally mainly used water released in battle.
Kumogakure was located in the mountains so the people there has tough bodies. Even if it was said good that they were good at lightning-release ninjutsu, they would mostly use lightning-release to coordinate with their taijutsu, so as to show a stronger fighting ability.
As for Sunagakure and Iwagakure...
They were in the worst area in the ninja world.
The most suitable way for them to fight was to use ninjutsu related to sandstorms and earth, so they used wind-release and earth-release more.
However.
There was an exception in these villages.
That was Konohagakure.
Konohagakure stood in the richest land, the country of fire. The area there had mountains, rivers, and forests. The environment was pleasant, the resources were rich, and the economic strength was very strong.
Taking advantage of this unique advantage.
Konohagakure ninjas could develop a lot of elements so that they could use all kinds of ninjutsu. As long as they are suitable for their innately inherited attributes, they can practice, and they will not be limited by the environment at all.
This was much stronger than their Iwagakure.
If Iwagakure ninjas inherited the water attribute, then it would be difficult to practice water-release ninjutsu. Not only did they not have such a powerful water-release teacher, but they also did not have a very suitable environment to release it. Thus, the strength of the water-release ninja was greatly reduced.
It was precisely because of this reason.
In order to improve their combat ability, Iwagakure ninjas practice earth-release ninjutsu more often, so that they could combine themselves with the environment of the village.
This was the restriction that the village had on ninjas.
However, Konohagakure did not have this kind of restriction.
No matter what type of ninja they were.
They could find a suitable opportunity to develop in such a pleasant environment.
For example, the current Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was called a ninjutsu professor. He can use almost all kinds of ninjutsu. He can perfectly use the restraining relationship between ninjutsu, so he has the upper hand in strategy.
Onoki looked at the intruder in front of him.
After seeing the three types of ninjutsu, he immediately confirmed that this person was a Konohagakure ninja.
This was not difficult guess.
If it was just the tyrannical water dragon formed by the water release, it was not so convincing. After all, it was also possible that Kirigakure ninja came to cause trouble.
However, there was another fire dragon behind the water dragon.
This nature changed.
It was impossible for Sunagakure and Iwagakure's ninjas to use such a water dragon!
It was impossible for Kirigakure's ninjas to use such a fire dragon!
Then...
Only Konohagakure was left!
As for Kumogakure...
He had already ignored that barbarian village. It was already good enough if there were a few people in that village who knew ninjutsu, let alone someone who had studied ninjutsu so thoroughly.
"The person who killed you."
After hearing Onoki's words, Aoba indifferently spat out these few words.
After he said these words.
The three dragons around him rushed toward Onoki at the same time, as if they wanted to directly crush Onoki to death.
Onoki knew that Aoba would not easily reveal his identity. He didn't expect to get the result by asking such a casual question. Facing the three tyrannical dragons, he immediately raised his hands and a semi-transparent, blurry cube suddenly appeared.
"Jinton(Dust Release)!"
Onoki immediately began to accumulate power. His Jinton(Dust Release)'s attack power was very strong and its range can be controlled freely. It can be made larger or smaller according to its own wishes, without any external stimulation. This can be said to be completely scalable. But such benefits will definitely bring some disadvantages, that was, the time to charge was relatively long, which often gives the opponent some time to prepare.
"Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu(Detachment of the Primitive World Technique)!"
Onoki quickly finished storing up power as fast as he could, and immediately lifted the cube in his hand. In an instant, the edge of the cube began to increase, and it turned into a sharp razor, slashing toward the three dragons.
Hum, Hum...
Along with the trembling feeling.
The Earth Dragon, Water Dragon, and Fire Dragon, these three dragons were directly cut in half by Jinton(Dust Release). There was no time for them to breathe at all. This ordinary three-element small ninjutsu directly collapsed in front of the powerful Jinton(Dust Release).
However.
Onoki, who had solved such a situation, was not relaxed at all.
Just now.
He found a problem.
The mysterious man in front of him suddenly disappeared.
"Huh?"
Onoki frowned. This was the first time he encountered a ninja with such stealth ability. The moment they collided, he disappeared as if he had disappeared from the world.
This made Onoki feel very uneasy.
After all, the other party came here from a long distance to sneak attack Iwagakure. After two consecutive exchanges, he realized the strength of this mysterious person.
Since the other party had this kind of strength.
It was enough to prove that this person should not have left here.
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense!
All of a sudden.
Onoki's mood became tense. He immediately went to sense his surroundings, wanting to find the mysterious man who was hiding.
"Are you looking for me?"
Suddenly.
A cold voice sounded behind Onoki.
The voice came very suddenly.
Onoki was shocked.
"! ! !"
Onoki was shocked when he heard this voice. He turned his head to look for the voice. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill from his back. An extremely dangerous feeling suddenly haunted his heart.
At this moment.
He could faintly smell the scent of death.
This was his body instinct.
If he couldn't dodge immediately, then he was likely to be killed!
It was precisely because of this thought.
Onoki quickly turned around and immediately cast a hardening technique on his body. His body was quickly encased with rock armor.
Only.
It was still too late.
There was a smile on the corner of Aoba's mouth behind the mask. He held the kunai in his hand and directly stabbed it into Onoki's back. However, because Onoki turned around very quickly, the kunai did not stab into Onoki's heart but slightly shifted inward.
"Who are you?"
After Onoki was stabbed, his eyes turned red and he suddenly reached out to grab Aoba's mask.
When he reached out, he directly applied a Chokeijugan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) on his arm, making his arm move faster to directly grabbed toward Aoba's mask.
Aoba retreated a little.
However, Onoki's hand was too fast.
He couldn't dodge at all.
Kacha!
Along with a cracking sound, the mask in front of Aoba suddenly exploded, revealing the bewitching face with long straight black hair.
"Orochimaru!"
Onoki saw Orochimaru's face behind the mask, and his pupils suddenly shrank. He never thought that the person who carried out this assassination operation was actually one of the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's students and one of Konoha Sannin, Orochimaru.
No wonder!
This person can use three types of ninjutsu!
Orochimaru's words were not strange at all!
Just when Onoki wanted to say something else, Orochimaru, who Aoba had transformed into, immediately turned around and ran. His speed was extremely fast and very sudden. He didn't give anyone time to react. When Onoki wanted to chase after him, Aoba had already gone far away and couldn't even see him.
"This..."
Onoki was not completely defeated by Aoba. At this time, he still did not fully understand what was going on.
However.
What he was sure of was that.
It was Konohagakure ninja who attacked him.
"Hiss..."
Onoki's back suddenly felt cold, and then a painful feeling spread all over his body. What happened at that moment just now allowed him to endure the pain for a short time, but now he can no longer bear the pain, and he couldn't help but take a cold breath.
"Medical Ninja!"
"Tsuchikage-sama is injured!"
"Someone come!"
"That person's face seemed to have been revealed just now!"
"I didn't see it clearly!"
"..."
At this time, Iwagakure ninjas began to discuss. The scene of Aoba's mask breaking just now happened in a flash. They could not see clearly at all.
Of course.
That was all in Aoba's plan.
Aoba first reminded Onoki, making him feel that he avoided the fatal blow through his instinct. But in fact, he did not intend to kill Onoki at all. He just wanted to use this method to make Onoki feel the fear of death, completely angering Onoki.
Next.
Aoba deliberately waited for Onoki's palm to break his mask and expose Orochimaru's face to Onoki.
Aoba didn't care whether Onoki believed it or not.
At least he gave a clear reason to make a move.
This was enough for Onoki to attack Konohagakure even crazily.
...
After Aoba quickly left the battlefield, he immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), returning to the Anbu dormitory.
Bang!
It was as if he had sensed something.
When Aoba's true body had just returned.
The shadow clone responsible for writing novels immediately let out an explosive sound and disappeared, returning to Aoba's body.
"It should be about time now..."
Aoba did not turn into an Iwagakure ninja and attacked Konohagakure's camp.This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Bi(j)n.
He did not want to cause Konohagakure's hatred through such a matter.
He also did not want to use such a method to kill the Konohagakure's heroes who could sacrifice their life at any time on the battlefield and leave pain for the living.
Because of this reason.
When Aoba was making trouble, he always focused on dealing with outside affairs and did not easily do anything to Konohagakure's ninjas.
Although he did not have a strong sense of belonging to Konohagakure like other ninjas, to him, this was indeed his home in the ninja world.
He could use the method of tearing down a home to attract hatred.
But it must be to tear down someone else's home, not his own.
He would rather pretend to be Konohagakure ninjas to tear down the homes of the other village's ninjas than pretend to be ninjas from other villages to tear down the home of Konohagakure ninjas.
Although the approach was not much different.
However, the meaning and nature that they represented were completely different.
...
Mount Myoboku.
A yellow-haired youth was sitting cross-legged under the waterfall. His body seemed to have a layer of chakra, easily blocking the falling water, so that not even a drop of water was splashed on his body.
Swish!
All of a sudden.
A figure jumped out and landed in front of the youth.
This figure was not a human.
Instead, it was a frog.
The frog stared at the person in the waterfall, its eyes flashing with admiration. After that, it said, "Minato, after this period of training, not only have your explosive power improved greatly, but your endurance has also reached a very high level. I believe that the current you, Kushina will be very satisfied!"
Hearing this.
The youth in the waterfall slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes.
It was golden frog eyes and orange eyeshadow appeared around the corners of his eyes.

Chapter 467: I Saw the Shadow of the Sage of the Six Paths on Her!
"Sage Fukasaku, how is the ninja world?"
The first thing Minato asked after opening his eyes was about the ninja world. He had been training in Mount Myoboku all this time, and all the information he had came from Fukasaku. Every time his training time passed, he could not wait to ask the ninja world questions.
"It's still very balanced now. It's not a big problem. Today is the appointed day. Are you ready?" Fukasaku said casually. He didn't care much about the ninja world. Instead, he cared more about the next competition.
"I'm ready, but..." Minato paused for a moment. He still maintained his orange eyeshadow and looked very stable. He said, "Do I really have to compete with Kushina?"
"Minato, I want to advise you not to treat her lightly just because she is a girl. I have secretly heard that her progress is very exaggerated. Even the Great Toad Sage personally guided her. You may not be a match for her!" Fukasaku took a deep breath and said. He was very pleased to see Minato's progress. In such a short time, he had completely surpassed his teacher, Jiraiya. However, Minato's opponent was even more powerful. He did not expect Mount Myoboku to meet such two geniuses at the same time.
"Kushina is so powerful?!"
The corner of Minato's mouth twitched. Fukasaku only said about Kushina when he started training. From then on, Fukasaku only talk about training, and he didn't say anything about Kushina, so he didn't know what level she had reached.
For the matter of Kushina's strength becoming stronger.
Minato was very happy!
After all, she was the girl he liked!
But...
From another perspective...
His status in the family was going to fall further.
This time.
Maybe it's not just him who took the initiative to give way to this Red Hot Habanero!
If he couldn't even beat her...
Then his future days would probably become colorful.
"Sage Fukasaku..."
"You are not deliberately putting pressure on me, are you?"The inception of this chapter's publication is linked to N0v3lb11n.
"You saw it too!"
"I can now easily sense the natural energy around me. I can enter the Sage mode in a very short time and can maintain it for at least two hours. I can't imagine Kushina to be more powerful than me!"
Minato stared at the Fukasaku, who was not far away from him, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes. During this period of time, he devoted almost all his attention to training, and even he himself felt that the extent of his progress was very terrible, especially in his perception of natural energy. One day, he suddenly seemed to be enlightened and could integrate with nature.
At this time, he can enter the Sage Mode in a very short time only by clapping his hands together and maintaining a still posture. Moreover, during the process of using the Sage Mode, he could almost reach other microscopic-level insights. His overall combat ability was completely different from before he came to Mount Myoboku.
After reaching such a level of strength.
Naturally, it would give rise to a sense of invincibility that had always been in his heart.
It was as if no one in the ninja world was his match anymore.
However...
This feeling only lasted for a moment in Minato's heart before it was forcibly suppressed by him. His good manners made him unable to have any thoughts of underestimating his enemy.
"Minato, you better be mentally prepared. If you are not strong enough, do not force yourself. It is not a shame to lose to Kushina."
Fukasaku sighed.
He did not know how powerful Kushina was.
At that time, his reaction was not much different from the current Minato.
But...
These words were said by the Great Toad Sage, and there would definitely be no mistakes. The only possible reason was...
Kushina's talent in Senjutsu was higher than that of Minato!
What a terrible existence!
Fukasaku didn't know how to describe his feelings. He looked at Minato and suddenly felt a sense of mutual pity. The decline of Minato's family status also indicated the decline of his family status. This was a mutual relationship. After all, he made a bet with his wife Shima, and the housework in the next few years would probably be his.
"This..."
The corners of Minato's mouth twitched unconsciously. He had already heard a lot of doubts from Fukasaku, and he was even more curious about how strong Kushina was now.
"Minato, get ready and change your clothes. Half an hour later, I will take you to see the Great Toad Sage. At that time, you will spar with Kishina under the witness of the Great Toad Sage. This is the last stop of your practice in Mount Myoboku. After that, you will return to the ninja world and do what you want to do."
After saying this, Fukasaku immediately turned around.
At the same time.
In his mind, he recalled the scene when he went to see the Great Toad Sage.
The huge Great Toad Sage sat on a tall chair, staring at the huge crystal ball in front of him with an expressionless face. He did not speak for a long time.
In the huge high hall.
Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima stood side by side, neither making a sound, they were silently waiting for Great Toad Sage.
After a period of time.
The Great Toad Sage seemed to have woken up. His gaze began to move downwards, landing on Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima.
"Fukasaku."
"I told you that Little Jiraiya's student would be the child of prophecy who would save the world."
"Do you still remember such a thing?"
The Great Toad Sage spoke very slowly. His simple words gave the two sages enough time to think.
"I remember." Sage Fukasaku immediately replied.
"I had another dream last night..."
The Great Toad Sage's voice slowly rang out again, and then he said something that both Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima felt extremely shocked.
"I dreamed of the child of the prophecy."
"He didn't save the world by himself!"
"Just like how Hagoromo had the help of Hamura back then!"
"There is a very capable helper beside the child of prophecy!"
"I suspect that the helper might be..."
When the Great Toad Sage said this, he suddenly became serious, and even his tone became more serious.
"Uzumaki Kushina!"
When the Great Toad Sage said this, everyone was speechless, and no one dared to speak.
"I saw the shadow of the Sage of the Six Paths on her!"

Chapter 468: How Strong Was Kushina Right Now?
Whoosh!
Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima were both shocked at this moment. They could not believe their ears, especially Sage Fukasaku.
Compared to Sage Shima.
Sage Fukasaku has never watched Kushina's practice at all.
However.
Before he could react.
The Great Toad Sage spoke again.
"Fukasaku."
"You have to work harder during this period of time."
"Don't let Minato lose too badly."
Swish!
Sage Fukasaku suddenly came out of his memories. There was still a deep shock in his eyes. Except for when Minato and Kushina first came, he never saw her again. He was even more confused about this unknown thing.
Sage Fukasaku didn't think too much about it.
As for how the rest of the things would develop, it would depend on Minato and Kushina.
Crash!
After Minato got up, the water flowed down from the waterfall behind him. His orange eyeshadow also disappeared at this time, and he directly exited the Sage Mode.
"How strong is Kushina now?"
Minato was puzzled. He really couldn't imagine it. He knew Kushina quite well. If she was compared to a ninja of the same age, her strength could be considered good, but the gap between her and him was still quite big. He knew that the Sage Mode was very powerful, but he had already reached this stage. Could Kushina be even more powerful?
This point.
He couldn't figure it out.
...
Iwagakure.
Onoki was lying in Iwagakure's hospital. The wounds on his body had been treated and didn't cause much damage, but it could be said that everyone was still in shock.
A little bit more!
Just a little bit more!
If it was just a little bit more...The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Nôv3l--Biin.
The kunai would directly pierce Onoki's heart.
This result filled the hearts of Iwagakure ninjas with anger, and they wanted to fight Konohagakure right now.
"Tsuchikage-sama, please allow us to go to the battlefield, break through Konohagakure, and take revenge for you!"
The first to speak was Kitsuchi. Not only did Kitsuchi have a high status in Iwagakure, but he was also Onoki's son. When he saw his father injured like this, the anger in his heart reached an uncontrollable level.
"Tsuchikage-sama, please allow us to go to the battlefield, break through Konohagakure, and take revenge for you!"
"Tsuchikage-sama, please allow us to go to the battlefield, break through Konohagakure, and take revenge for you!"
"..."
Following Kitsuchi's words, other Iwagakure ninjas took the initiative to volunteer. Now, they were all full of anger toward Konohagakure. They never thought that Konohagakure, which seems to be upright on the surface, would actually do such a thing.
"No."
Onoki said lightly. He was lying on the bed. Although the wound on his back had been bandaged, he still felt the pain. He couldn't get up casually. After all, the pain of the wound made him feel as if his whole body was affected.
Onoki couldn't help but sigh.
If it was when he was young.
This kind of injury was nothing!
However.
This was also because he did not want to be stubborn right now. After all, there was no need for this.
"Why?!"
Kitsuchi asked, a little puzzled. He vaguely felt that his father had some secret, but he did not want to know about these things. He just felt very sullen.
"Tsuchikage-sama!"
Kitsuchi directly called Onoki, Tsuchikage-sama, not father, which showed that he defined his identity as Iwagakure ninja, not his son.
"We just encountered Sunagakure's attack not long ago. At that time, I proposed to attack Sunagakure, but you rejected it!"
"Now that we have encountered Konohagakure's sneak attack, I ask again to attack Konohagakure, but you rejected it!"
"Are we going to make the whole world think that we, Iwagakure, are easy to bully?"
"Is it possible that everyone can come and bully us, and then we will not retaliate, just like soft persimmons, who can be easily pinched?"
Kitsuchi said emotionally. He knew that it was very inappropriate to speak to the Tsuchikage in such a tone. After all, the hierarchy in the ninja world was always strict. However, he understood that his doubts were not his alone. Many of the Iwagakure ninjas present had the same doubts.
"I said no, then it means no!"
Onoki's tone became fierce. He had been Tsuchikage for so many years, but this was the first time he made a decision. Someone stood up and asked him why he did this, especially when the person was his son.
Onoki's obviously unhappy voice sounded.
The voice in the hospital ward became quiet.
Including Kitsuchi.
No one said anything else.
Although everyone still had an unconvinced expression on their faces, they were honest. No one dared to provoke the Tsuchikage at this time. After all, it was obvious that Onoki was unhappy.
...
Iwagakure.
At the gate.
Just as everyone was looking at Onoki, a ninja from Iwagakure walked in the direction of the ninjas guarding the gate.
"Kitsuchi-sama!"
The Iwagakure ninjas guarding the gate saw the incoming ninjas and bowed one by one. The one who walked toward them was the face they were very familiar with, the son of the Third Tsuchikage, Kitsuchi.
Of course.
This Kitsuchi was not the real Kitsuchi.
The real Kitsuchi was in Onoki's ward and having a fierce conversation.
And the Kitsuchi here...
It was Aoba's advanced paper clone!
"Tsuchikage-sama was ambushed by a Konoha ninja and is now seriously injured. I need one of you to quickly go to the front line to inform Michiru-sama of this matter and inform all the ninjas on the front line. You can come back after that. As for the rest, Michiru-sama knows what to do!" Aoba used his identity as Kitsuchi to speak to the ninja guarding the gate.
"Yes!"
The ninja guarding the gate did not suspect him. After all, Kitsuchi was the son of the Third Tsuchikage. Now that the Tsuchikage was injured and hospitalized, Kitsuchi's order was to a certain extent the highest order they could receive.
After that.
The ninja quickly left.
Aoba silently nodded and left. After turning a corner, he disappeared.
The next moment.
Aoba appeared at the border between Konohagakure and Iwagakure.
It was just as he had expected.
Iwagakure ninja army had already pressed down on the border of the country of fire. The air was filled with dense smoke. This unavoidable battle was about to erupt.

Chapter 469: He Can Only Rub in a Little Bit
At the border between Country of Fire and Country of Earth.
Iwagakure ninja army was pressing down on the border, and they were getting closer and closer to Konohagakure's encampment. However, they did not immediately attack Konohagakure's camp. Instead, they moved forward bit by bit.
"Michiru-sama, why don't we go over and kill them?" The ninja who followed Michiru stood beside Michiru and could not help but ask in confusion.
"The information that Midoritsuchi-sama sent over was a bit sudden. After a few probing attacks, the ninjas might not understand it very well. The best thing to do now is to go over bit by bit and give the ninjas a change in their hearts." Michiru said in a deep voice.
"Don't ninjas only have to obey orders?" This ninja asked in confusion. He had clearly received Tsuchikage's order, so why did he have to make it so complicated?
"Oh?"
Michiru looked at this ninja with deep meaning. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. After that, he said, "Did you hear Tsuchikage-sama's order?"
"I... I... My lord... Didn't you already analyze it?" The ninja was stunned.
"That's right!"
Michiru nodded and said, "You also said that I analyzed it. Then can the analysis be used as a basis?"
"Then... then... Midoritsuchi-sama means..." The ninja was even more confused. His mind was now shrouded in a layer of fog, and he did not know how to continue.
"Midoritsuchi-sama wants us to do as we please. Tsuchikage-sama's orders can not be wrong. It can only be that we are at a disadvantage. We need to finish these things better now, but we can't show too obviously that it is Tsuchikage-sama's intention. After all, many ninjas will think that Tsuchikage-sama is changing order day and night. Do you understand?" Michiru said in a low voice. After he figured out what Midoritsuchi meant, he already understood that this was a very difficult matter. The complexity of the matter itself was extremely high.
"But... what should we do?" The ninja asked doubtfully.
"We can only do it a little bit. We can't rush it. This is also something that we can't do. Who asked us to catch up to such a thing!" Michiru said calmly. Right now, he did not have a specific plan. He could only take one step at a time and slowly press into the borders of the country of fire.
...
On the other side.
Within the borders of the country of fire.
Konohagakure Encampment.
"Sakumo-sama, Iwagakure's ninja army has already arrived. What should we do now?" A Konohagakure ninja quickly ran into the tent and asked Konoha White Fang, the commander of Konohagakure's ninja army.
"Let's retreat."
The expression on Hatake Sakumo's face did not change at all. Before this, he had already received a secret order from Hiruzen, telling him to fight and retreat. Currently, it was suspected that there was a problem between Iwagakure and Sunagakure.
"Understood!"
The ninja immediately responded and then began to inform the ninjas in each tent.
After these few days of battle.
Konohagakure ninjas already knew about this strategy of avoiding the battle.
They also discovered that Iwagakure had some problems.
As long as they returned to a certain position, Iwagakure ninjas no longer continued to chase. Instead, they chose to retreat, maintaining a distance from each other, thus maintaining a relatively stable situation.
Now, Konohagakure ninjas all understood one principle.
As long as the pulling was good.
They would be able to stabilize the situation of the battle without paying any damage.
This way.
This would give Konohagakure enough time!
...
Half a day later.
Iwagakure ninjas had already entered the territory of the country of fire, but they did not encounter any counterattacks.
They advanced a hundred meters.
Konohagakure ninjas retreated a hundred meters.
This way, both sides maintained a similar distance from each other.
However, they did not fight.
This situation seemed like they were slowly chasing after each other, making Iwagakure ninjas feel a sense of exhaustion.
"Stop now!"
At this time, Michiru loudly issued an order. They had already entered deep into the country of fire. Now, they were no longer surrounded by rocks. Instead, they were surrounded by dense forest leaves, making their vision less open. Moreover, it was not the place they were most accustomed to fighting.
"This journey will end here. We will begin to set up camp here. Now, it is the territory of the country of fire. Be prepared to defend at any time. Be careful of the possible sneak attacks from the other side!"
Michiru said loudly.
His idea was very simple.
Attacking Konohagakure was not something that could be done in one move.
He needed to give these ninjas a bit of time. After all, after every attack, they would retreat back to their original camp. This had already made the ninjas become accustomed to it.
Now, he had to slowly change this habit.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Nôv3l--Biin.
Every time they moved forward, they would set up camp again.
Although it was a little troublesome.
However, this would make Iwagakure ninjas understand.
From now on...
They were no longer retreating!
"Yes!"
Iwagakure ninjas all responded. They faintly felt the changes in the above decision-making, but they were not sure of this matter. They began to arrange their own camps one after another.
Michiru silently watched all of this.
There was bitterness in his heart that he could not say.
He was just a person who listened to orders.
However, he was stuck in the middle of it and had to deal with the relationship between these ninjas and the Tsuchikage.
He could not let the Tsuchikage lose his credibility.
Moreover, he could not let the Tsuchikage feel that he was not doing well.
This kind of situation was somewhat difficult!
"Midoritsuchi-sama, it would be good if you could give me a little more reason. Now, I am really in a difficult situation!"
Michiru sighed helplessly. He felt like he was secretly doing something. After all, everyone outside knew that Iwagakure's ninja army could not leave Iwagakure too far.
He could only rub in a little bit.
A little bit was a little bit.
He didn't dare to enter too much easily.
"Michiru-sama!"
However.
Just at this time.
A hurried voice sounded.
It was the ninja who was always next to Michiru.
"Did something happen?"
Michiru's heart skipped a beat. Right now, they were carefully moving inside. If something went wrong at this time, it would directly affect his future entry problems.
"Kitsuchi-sama sent a messenger ninja over. He is waiting outside the tent. He has important information to say." The ninja said with a serious face.
"Let him in!"
Michiru's heart was directly in his throat. He did not know what kind of information the messenger ninja would bring, and he was unable to make any mental preparations for a while.
