Chapter 298: It’s Time to Shave

Although Morimoto Ryoharu has the final say in setting military ranks and personnel changes in the Navy Ministry, the establishment of the three new admirals actually took away some of Morimoto Ryoharu's rights and responsibilities. Shiraishi also wanted to weaken Morimoto Ryoharu himself. The unequivocal authority of the Admiralty.

After handling this matter, Shiraishi turned his attention to the Hidden Cloud Village because of the matter about Nanao.

The return of the orphans of the Hagoromo Clan to Yunyin Village caused an uproar in the Kingdom of Thunder four years ago. The influence of the former Golden Horn and Silver Horn Rebellion made the local villagers of Yunyin Village very repulsive to the Hagoromo Clan.

However, Hagoromo Manto showed great talent and strength, and was recognized by the Raikage. Especially after he went out to perform missions several times and Hagoromo Manto showed the attitude of a qualified ninja, the Raikage really began to accept this outsider. .

Today's Kumogakure Village, on the surface, relies on Konoha and Iwa Ninja to stay in front of Sunagakure on the mainland, but in fact it is also suffering from internal and external troubles.

If the Hagoromo Clan can show the interests and value of reviewing Kumogakure Village, then the Fourth Raikage will not mind letting him take on more responsibilities.

Four years have passed, and Hagoromo Manto is now one of the strongest men in Kumogakure Village. The Amanuma Spear in his hand has helped him overcome many difficulties. Even the rebellion in the Kingdom of Teeth has been gradually quelled because of the appearance of Hagoromo Manto.

The powerful power of lightning escape, combined with the Amanuma Spear, made Hagoromo unbeatable on the battlefield. The Amanuma Spear became famous in the northern continent, and it was even rumored that Manato Hagoromo was almost the next generation Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage finally made Hagoromo Manato a member of his personal guard, which represented his approval.

Those who have always been able to become the Raikage's personal bodyguards have always had certain strength to compete for the throne of the next generation of Kage. Although the Fourth Raikage is the son of the Third Raikage, his rise to the position is due to his outstanding ability, not his father's relationship.

However, Sunagakure's troops stationed in Fang Country still exist. Currently, Kumogakure does not want to start a war with Sunagakure at this moment, so it behaves with extreme restraint and tolerance.

After the death of the previous Nanao Jinchuuriki, Takigakure Village sealed it. However, there is currently a rebellion in Takigakure Village, so Nanao broke away from the seal and left Takigakure Village in the chaos.

As soon as Nanao left Takigakure Village, Konoha, Iwa Ninja, and Kumo Ninja all received the news, and even Akatsuki from the Rain Ninja got wind of it, and the situation in the north of the Ninja World suddenly changed.

Hidden Village is hidden by a huge waterfall. Although it is surrounded by four countries, its unique geographical location has never been invaded by other countries. The village has a hero who can increase the chakra of ninjas dozens of times. It is famous for its water and secret skills.

When the first Hokage divided the tailed beasts in the past, since Sunagakure, which had one tail, did not need a tailed beast, but was in urgent need of a large amount of land and resources, the first Hokage, at the suggestion of the second Hokage, allocated it to Takigakure Village instead of leaving it to Takigakure. The other three great ninja villages, this is a public case known to everyone in the ninja world.

Now that Takigakure's own tailed beast broke the seal and escaped, it suddenly disrupted the alliance structure of the three major ninja villages in the north. Now not only the Iwa ninja and Kumo ninja are ready to make a move, but even Konoha is paying attention to this matter.

Sunagakure has put too much pressure on Konoha, and now Konoha is in a very embarrassing state of inactivity, so the appearance of Nanao allows them to find a shortcut.

Soon a Konoha ANBU team quickly set off to the northern countries to find the whereabouts of Nanao.

This team includes elite Jonin including Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Kaede, and Uchiha Itachi, as well as various other blood successor families as assistants.

The Kumo ninja sent several members of the Raikage's bodyguards, including Manato Hagoromo, with the same target directed at Nanao.

In addition, the Akatsuki organization also sent Deidara, who was a rock ninja, to use his familiarity with the geographical environment to team up with the Red Sand Scorpion to collect intelligence and news.

As for Orochimaru, Payne couldn't stand his inactivity and inactivity at work. Fortunately, he broke up the combination with Deidara and let Scorpion and Deidara team up.

"The Water of Heroes is the holy water that Takigakure Village obtains from under a giant tree every hundred years."

Compared to the tailed beasts, Shiraishi is very interested in the Heroic Water of Takigakure Village. This giant tree has the effect of increasing a person's chakra tenfold. However, if used excessively, it will swallow the life of the caster.

Such a weird demon tree reminds Shiraishi of the fossilized statue of Kaguya Otsutsuki and the sacred tree.

There must be a certain correlation between the two

There is currently a chaos within Takigakure Village. The current leader of Takigakure Village, Hiroki, and his brother Yanagi are fighting endlessly. While the three major ninja villages focus on Nanao, he can investigate the Heroic Water.

Thinking of this, Bai Shi had his own plan. Looking at the thicker and thicker mustache on his chin, Bai Shi suddenly felt a little reluctant to let go.

Three days later, Konoha Hokage's office.

Looking at the wealthy young man in front of him with an extraordinary look on his face, the Third Hokage frowned: "Your Excellency, are you the Lop Nur Young Master from the Kingdom of Wind?"

Picking up the folding fan in his hand, the wealthy young man shook his head: "To correct one thing, it is the Loulan Kingdom, not the Wind Kingdom. Although the Loulan Kingdom was destroyed in just a few years, the Hokage-sama will not be so forgetful, right?"

Orphan from Loulan Kingdom?

Commissions from the Kingdom of Wind rarely appear in the Kingdom of Fire. After all, Sunagakure Village is so strong. It would be polite for them not to snatch missions from other ninja villages. But now there are missions from the Kingdom of Wind?

According to the above information, this Lop Nur is indeed a distant relative of the Queen of Loulan Kingdom. During An Lushan’s reign, the Lop Nur family was mainly engaged in business. After many years, with the collapse of Loulan Kingdom, the Lop Nur family attached itself to the emerging powerful people in the Kingdom of Wind. The Beidao family is barely surviving.

Today, this young man abandons the near and seeks the far, UU reading www. ｕｋｎshu.netｔ Coming to the Country of Fire to seek a commission, is it related to Sunagakure Village?

Or is it a trap?

The Third Hokage used his perception of ninjutsu to clearly determine that the rich man in front of him had no chakra fluctuations at all. He was just an ordinary person. So what mission would he entrust to Konoha?

Quoting the expensive mission reward data, this Lop Nur briefly explained the content of the mission: "Lord Hokage, I need someone to escort me to the Kingdom of Frost."

For a simple escort mission, why should we go to Konoha? Can't we just seek the commission directly in Sunagakure Village?

However, the Third Hokage was not easy to fool, and asked directly: "What is the escort? Will it cause other ninja villages to get involved, such as Sunagakure Village?"

"Here is a letter of recommendation personally given by the Kazekage. However, it is currently not convenient for Sunagakure to perform escort missions, so we can only let Konoha complete the commission through referral."

The rich man named Lop Nur touched his smooth chin, showed a cunning smile, and placed Kazekage's letter of recommendation in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
