Chapter 517: Negotiations at Mist Hidden

After receiving the definite answer, a touch of excitement and nervousness immediately appeared on Fugaku's face.

To be honest, deep down in his heart, he has some complicated feelings towards the Kaguya clan, which is in the same situation as the Uchiha and has inexplicably the same family.

"Then I'll get ready right away!"

Fugaku took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Xia Le nodded.

"This time, I may have to trouble you to go there!"

Fugaku is Tao again.

"good!"

Xia Le did not refuse.

Today's Akatsuki's overall strength is naturally not as strong as in the original work. It is just an organization that is developing steadily. It is very difficult to complete the work of supporting and rescuing a family.

On the other side, Fugaku quickly returned to the office.

With barely any pause, he ordered the ANBU to respond.

At the same time, Hatake Sakumo and others have also received the news.

That afternoon, it was approaching evening.

Xia Le walked out of the yard and towards the outside of the village, carrying a large scroll behind him.

After approaching the forest outside the village, he paused slightly, leaning against a big tree, squinting his eyes and waiting quietly.

Naturally, he is not the only person on this trip. He had already gotten the news about this.

Time passed minute by minute, and a moment later, another figure came.

There was a short knife behind him, and he had silver-white short hair. His face was clean and energetic, and he looked neat and tidy.

"Xia Le, if I have you on this mission, I'll be sure of it!"

The visitor said with a smile.

"There must be no accidents in this mission, so my move is certain."

Xia Le smiled lightly.

The man who arrived was none other than Hatake Sakumo. Since he stopped being the Rain Shadow, his mental state and mood were clearly very good, as if he had been relieved of a huge burden.

Then, both of them looked at the village entrance again.

At some point, a sudden figure flashed out at the entrance of the village.

"Orochimaru!"

Sakumo narrowed his eyes, then showed a surprised look.

"You are actually willing to go on a mission!"

Orochimaru stepped forward and came to the two of them: "Such an action requires the strength of the whole village to complete."

"Under such circumstances, I walked out of the laboratory without any problems."

Hearing this, Sakumo smiled: "That's true!"

"After us, Fugaku will form a large number of teams to assist us in carrying out this mission to ensure nothing goes wrong."

When Xia Le saw everyone gathered, he nodded: "Then let's go!"

The three of them nodded to each other and entered the forest in a flash.

"Xia Le!"

The sunlight filtered through the gaps and fell on the ground. Orochimaru's feet were running along the branches, and he suddenly shouted.

"Um?"

Xia Le responded, seeming to be thinking about something important in his heart, and did not look back.

"How far have you reached in your research on natural energy?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

After all these years, he still has not forgotten the conversation he had with the other party.

Once you experience the power of Sage Mode, you will never forget it, if you can enter that state forever.

That is simply unimaginable.

Therefore, he has always been very concerned about this matter.

During the experiment, Orochimaru also studied natural energy and sage mode, but due to his limitations, he could not see any deeper mysteries of this new path, and he had no choice but to give up.

What made him sigh even more was that he realized the huge gap between himself and Xia Le.

Hearing this, Xia Le turned his head and glanced at Orochimaru with a smile.

"Only the last step left!"

"Don't worry."

Orochimaru was startled, and then a flash of excitement appeared on his face.

"What else do you need? How can I help?"

Xia Le shook his head: "I have already thought clearly about the specific method. All I need to do next is to go through some specific experiments and then improve it."

Orochimaru took a deep breath and felt a little nervous: "That would be great!"

Xia Le smiled: "It just so happens that during my trip, I can complete the remaining parts."

Orochimaru nodded heavily.

Sakumo heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but have doubts in his eyes: "What are you two muttering about?"

"nothing."

Orochimaru smiled slightly and stopped the conversation.

Sakumo snorted: "It's still so mysterious."

Xia Le also smiled and said nothing more.

He has indeed reached the final step in popularizing the new spiritual path, and the basic steps, processes, principles, etc. have been sorted out.

Now, we only need to carry out specific experiments to prove that this path is indeed feasible, and then it can truly be passed down.

It's just that I still have some hesitation about the experimental product.

Starting directly with humans carries considerable risks. Trust me, it will be very bad if something happens.

If you don't trust it, if you really succeed, you may encounter twists and turns again.

Therefore, the best candidate for the test target is naturally animals. But even for animals, it’s still difficult.

Weak animals are simply not qualified to practice this new path, and only those powerful and unique creatures can succeed.

But this kind of creature may be easy to find in the world of pirates, but it is very difficult to find in the world of Naruto.

"We must select those creatures with powerful innate energy."

Xia Le murmured.

The three of them walked through the forest surrounding Yuyin Village and quickly headed towards the Kingdom of Water.

Along the way, Xia Le paid attention to creatures suitable for experiment, but he did not encounter the target.

This made him frown.

In the blink of an eye, seven days flew by.

The three of them ran at full speed and arrived in the Kingdom of Iron. They were going to take a boat from the Iron Kingdom port, then go to the Kingdom of Yu, and then from the Kingdom of Yu to the Kingdom of Water.

It is estimated that the middle voyage will take about seven or eight days.

Facing the undulating waves and the blue sky, the three of them boarded a small fishing boat.

For Sakumo, Orochimaru, and the sea, who have always lived inland, the sea is obviously a bit unfamiliar and novel. On the contrary, Xia Le does not feel much discomfort, but has an expression of nostalgia and emotion.

"Xia Le, you don't look like someone who has lived on the sea. Why didn't you react at all after getting on the boat?"

Sakumo's face turned blue and purple, and he wanted to vomit due to the shaking of the boat but couldn't.

Orochimaru also had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

This feeling of dangling above the sea gave him an extremely insecure feeling.

"People who don't make a living on the sea, and are accustomed to the sea, will not look as calm as he does."

The middle-aged man paddling also said with a smile.

Xia Le just smiled at a few people, but had no intention of explaining.

He stood on the bow of the ship, staring at the undulating sea ahead, with flashes of memories in his eyes.

It seemed that he remembered the scene on that sea.

——

The country of water, the Hidden Mist Village.

The fog was thick and visibility was less than ten meters.

In recent days, the atmosphere in this village, which is filled with coldness and gloom, has been extremely tense. Even the tourists on the streets have become extremely rare.

Even if there are people walking, their footsteps are hurried and they disappear in a blink of an eye.

On one side of the street, in a grain and oil store, the door was tightly closed with a crashing sound.

"The news from the village has returned!"

A muffled voice sounded.

"etc!"

Suddenly, a man in coarse cloth put his finger to his mouth to signal the other party to be silent.

The man who spoke first immediately looked stern and fell silent.

After a while, the man in coarse cloth nodded: "Continue!"

"Yes, Master Zero!"

The man took a breath.

"The instructions given by the village were very simple. They agreed with our suggestion and have sent the vanguard to the Kingdom of Water."

"At the same time, we were given an order to win over the Kaguya clan as much as possible and ensure the integrity of their clan."

Hearing this, Zero's eyes brightened and a smile broke out at the corner of his mouth.

"The village's reaction did not surprise me!"

"The Kaguya clan is facing the greatest crisis now, and it is also the easiest time to win."

"As long as Yahiko's negotiations with them go smoothly, we will consider this mission a success!"

The man opposite also nodded excitedly: "In this case, the power of the village will increase again!"

"At that time, even if we are the five major countries, we may not have the power to collide head-on!"

Nagato's expression remained unchanged, but the light in his eyes became deeper.

the other side.

The land of the Kaguya clan.

"How is Chief Kaguya thinking?"

"I think you should know better than us the current situation of the Kaguya clan."

"The ANBU of Kirigakure Village are almost everywhere around here during this period. Even your clan members are being closely watched for any movement they make."

A young man with blond hair looked at the man in front of him with a smile and said softly.

"Even if the Kaguya clan is facing a desperate situation!"

"But how can I trust your words?"

"Do you really have the ability to save the Kaguya clan from this dangerous situation?"

Chief Kaguya said coldly, his eyes scanning the people in front of him unceremoniously, and the questioning meaning in them was extremely obvious.

This team of people started contacting them a month ago.

As the leader of the Kaguya clan, he was naturally unwilling to contact an unknown mysterious person. Who knew what the other party's purpose was.

But the current situation of the Kaguya clan is indeed not that good.

The wariness and hostility of the Kirigakure Village towards them, as well as the ambitions of the radical faction within the clan, have made their clan stand in front of an abyss.

If we are not careful, an unprecedented war may break out.

The Kaguya clan may end up being exterminated in the face of this war.

"Who are you?"

An idea flashed through the head of the Kaguya clan, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Identity?"

Yahiko smiled slightly.

Then, he took out the forehead protector from his waist.

"What is this mark?!"

Chief Kaguya's eyes narrowed, and when he saw the mark on his forehead clearly, he couldn't help but froze.

A three-dimensional water drop suddenly caught his eye.

"Are you rain ninjas?!"

Naturally, he knew about the Rain Country, which had become famous in recent years. In fact, the skyrocketing number of radicals within the clan has something to do with the sudden rise of this country.

It was originally just an ordinary small country. During the Sanshouyu Hanzo period, it might have some strength, but it was not taken seriously by the big countries.

But in recent years, there have been endless rumors coming from everywhere.

The five major countries all know that the power of Yuyin Village is guaranteed, and the number of ninjas has reached an unimaginable level. But unfortunately, in response to this rise, the hidden villages of the five major countries have chosen to remain silent.

Especially Konoha, which is adjacent to it, turned a blind eye and ignored it.

Under such circumstances, other countries could not help but become suspicious, and also chose to observe quietly.

Now, who suddenly appears in the Kaguya clan these days, is it the rain ninja?

"Shisui!"

Yahiko saw the surprise on the other person's face and drank again.

The next second, the young man behind him took a step forward, took off the raincoat on his body, and revealed the mark on the robe.

"Uanfan!"

"Are you from the Uchiha clan?"

Team leader Kaguya was even more shocked and looked at the young man in front of him carefully.

The Uchiha fan mark is no secret in the entire ninja world. It is the emblem of the Uchiha clan.

"The shadow of Yuyin Village now is none other than the leader of our clan, Lord Fugaku!"

Yahiko said with a smile, and also took off the raincoat on his body, revealing the Uchiwa fan logo on the robe.

In fact, among the Uchiha clan, Nagato, he, and Konan's identities are very unique. Although they are not the blood of the Uchiha clan, they have long been recognized by Uchiha.

Because over the years, the three of them have almost grown up with Uchiha's contemporaries. In addition, given the relationship between the three of them and Xia Le, naturally no one questioned their identities.

"Are you all from the Uchiha clan?"

Chief Kaguya's pupils shrank and he said in shock.

Immediately afterwards, understanding flashed in his eyes.

"It turns out that Amegakure Village is controlled by the Uchiha clan!"

"A few years ago, I did hear the news that the Uchiha clan had a falling out with Konoha and ran away from Konoha."

Chief Kaguya’s eyes flashed.

This incident shocked the entire ninja world at the time, and was gossiped about by many people for a while.

But after that, no one knew where the Uchiha people went. Unexpectedly, he suddenly changed his identity and took control of Yuyin Village.

"Ame Hidden Village is not only controlled by our Uchiha clan."

"It belongs to everyone!"

Yahiko shook his head.

"With this, we are also inviting the Kaguya clan to join the big family of Yuyin Village!"

There was a pause.

"This is also what Master Yuying is looking forward to!"

Hearing this, Chief Kaguya narrowed his eyes and thought carefully.

According to the current situation of the Kaguya clan, it won't be long before a war breaks out with Kirigakure Village. And anyone who is not a fool can see what happens next.

The Kaguya clan is probably in danger.

Although their clan controls corpse veins, has powerful physical skills, and is also very warlike, being warlike does not mean being stupid.

Under such circumstances, if the Kaguya family could have one more choice and one more way to survive, he would naturally be willing to do so.

After thinking carefully, the Kaguya clan leader's face softened, and he stared at the man in front of him again.

"How can I believe you that your Lord Yuying really wants to accept us?"

Hearing this, Yahiko had a smile on his face.
