Chapter 229 Time Flies

After leaving the follow-up matters to Nanako, Ye Zi left the stronghold and went to the Kingdom of Fire to join Xie, whose trip to the Kingdom of Water seemed to be unsatisfactory.

"Hard stubble?" Ye Zi asked.

"It's very troublesome." Xie, who returned empty-handed, didn't want to say more and responded perfunctorily.

Jian Xie did not mention this topic, and Ye Zi was not interested in knowing. After the two stayed in the Country of Fire for a while, they returned to the Country of Rain, but they did not see Nagato, but Konan.

In the empty hall, the light is bright. The sound of water in the drainage pipe came in from the wall, making it a little noisy.

Ye Zi looked at Xiao Nan and asked, "Where is Ling Burial?"

"I'm dealing with something and I can't get away for the time being." Xiaonan replied.

The last of Pain's Six Paths is about to be completed. From now on, Nagato, who can control the six corpses, plus himself, will be the most powerful existence.

It was impossible for Xiaonan to tell Ye Zi about this matter, but he only briefly explained the reason for Nagato's absence.

Madara only told Ye Zi some about the Six Paths Technique and the functions of the Samsara Eye, but there was no information about Pain's Six Paths. Hearing Xiaonan's answer, he didn't think deeply about it.

When I come back this time, one is the candidate for the Magic Nine Dragons seal, and the other is the progress of Scorpion's hidden weapon.

Xie suddenly asked: "How is the progress in the Kingdom of Stone?"

"In less than three days, everything you need will be in place." Xiao Nan looked flat. For these things, a large part of the manpower was allocated, but he didn't know whether it was worth it.

Xie nodded slightly. If he had had these things, his previous trip to the Kingdom of Water would have been in vain.

"Have you recruited anyone during this period?" Xie is concerned about hidden weapons, while Ye Zi is concerned with the core people needed for the Magic Nine Dragons seal.

"Yes, 'Santai' recommended a Kiri ninja who was also a rebel ninja. He is Biwa Juzo from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. 'Zero Burial' has already met him and he meets the conditions. He is codenamed Nanto, so there is still one person left. .”

Theoretically, at least nine people are needed to cast the Phantom Nine Dragon Seal, but in fact, it can be cast by even less than nine people. However, in that case, the conditions for the spell will be doubled, and the amount of chakra possessed by the caster will not meet the conditions. , the seal cannot be successfully completed. The fastest and safest number of people is actually ten people.

However, as a nine-person position, the requirements for the caster are not too high, so beings like Hobashi Kuchika who are weaker than Kakuzu and others can also be qualified for this position.

"Is there one more person left?" Ye Zi's eyes flickered slightly. One more person would meet the conditions. What he had to consider after that was how to capture all the tailed beasts. In the process of capturing, he had to solve the obstacles from the Ninja Village.

"As soon as you find a suitable candidate, notify me as soon as possible." Suppressing his excitement, Ye Zi turned and left, and Xie followed immediately, and the two left the hall side by side.

Xiaonan looked at Ye Zi's back silently, his face expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

In order to wait for the hidden weapons, Xie waited in Yuren Village for three days. Then, accompanied by Ye Zi, he pocketed a large number of hidden weapons made from black iron ore.

With a slight excitement, Xie wanted Ye Zi to leave Yu Ren Village and find a remote and open place to practice sparring with him.

In this regard, he wanted to see how the hidden weapon would increase Xie's strength, so Ye Zi agreed to Xie's request.

The two immediately engage in a point-and-click battle.

At first, Ye Zi dodged all of Xie's hidden weapons that had not yet been quenched, and they fell around.

Ye Zi deliberately took over a hidden weapon, and his first impression was that it was not very good.

However, when Scorpion sacrificed the puppet of the Third Wind Shadow, the situation changed instantly. First, it attracted Ye Zi's attention with its frontal magnetic escape. Then, the hidden weapon that seemed to have missed accidentally suddenly flew up from the ground and enveloped Ye Zi. The number of hidden weapons in the shape of thin needles is staggering.

At that time, he was avoiding the attack of Magnetic Release. In his haste, he almost used Demu Release to defend himself, but he stopped thinking at the last moment because the hidden weapon did not move forward and was controlled by Scorpion and stopped in mid-air.

Xie, who felt that he had won, had the ability to control the third generation of Feng Ying, and control all the hidden weapons farther away into the air, as if to express to Ye Zi his changes after possessing these hidden weapons.

"How is it?" Xie said coldly.

"It's a bit unexpected." Ye Zi looked at the large number of hidden weapons floating in the air with a calm expression. At that moment, he only needed to use Demu Escape to prevent this wave of attacks, and the Scorpion, whose trump card was exposed, could no longer threaten him. he.

However, stopping Wood Escape at a critical moment is still a bit risky and appears to be overconfident.

"Is this your trump card? You can use it in front of me so easily." Ye Zi looked at Xie, the puppet was expressionless, but he could feel Xie's pride.

"It doesn't matter." Xie said calmly: "Although I don't regard you as one of my own, at least we are on the same side."

The person he wanted to deal with was Konoha White Fang, but with his current strength, he was not sure he could beat Konoha White Fang. At that time, he agreed to join Akatsuki, and he thought about using the power of Akatsuki to take revenge on Konoha White Fang.

The person who can help him is the man in front of him, so he doesn't mind showing Ye Zi his killer move.

Compared to Xie Zi, who doesn't hold back, Ye Zi is different. He won't reveal his trump card easily. Pointing at the many hidden weapons floating in the air, he said calmly: "Put them away, they look very annoying."

Hearing this, Xie controlled many hidden weapons to recycle them, and then said: "I still have to quench the poison for these hidden weapons."

Ye Zi couldn't help but remain silent. This unexpected killing move would be really terrifying if it was poisoned.

My understanding of Scorpio has been improved to a new level.

The two then left the Country of Rain.

--------------------------

Time flies, time flies.

With the end of the Third Ninja World War, the expected peace has come. Today, half a year has passed.

Seeing that the situation has stabilized and peace has begun to integrate into life, the existence of Ninja Village as a military force has become a financial burden for the country. So after a period of hesitation of half a year, the great powers finally made plans to reduce the financial resources invested in Ninja Village. , in the current peacetime, the role of military power is not high, so there is no need to continue to maintain large financial expenditures. However, even if truce treaties are signed with various countries, risks still exist. Despite this, major powers still Insist on reducing the funds invested in Ninja Village.

Regarding the decision issued by the daimyo, although each shinobi village tried its best to explain the key relationships, what the daimyo and ministers valued was the stakes.

Cultivating an excellent ninja requires investing a lot of money and energy, and a ninja's life is to bear this name and fight non-stop for his family, village, and country. However, after ushering in a period of peace, ninjas are no longer Need to go to war.

Without the strong support of the state, if the new generation of the village is not affected by the fault, the village can only fill the funding gap on its own.

On the east street of Konoha Village, there is a very famous three-color meatball shop. Kakashi and other ninjas of the same period are all in the three-color meatball shop at this time, and everyone has a plate of three-color meatballs.

"Congratulations to everyone on your successful promotion to Chunin!"

In the shop, which occupies a small area, there are young and girls with smiling faces. They each hold up a bunch of three-color meatballs and push them towards the middle from different directions. Except for a silver-haired boy, sitting on the side, looking lazy.

"Hey, Kakashi, why don't you come over and celebrate together?" Obito, wearing goggles, shouted towards Kakashi.

Hearing his words, Lin, Kai, Kurenai, Asuma, Genma, Hayate, Kotonoha, and Shizune all looked at Kakashi.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Kakashi raised his eyes and said lazily: "Are you celebrating your promotion to chuunin?"

"Yes." Obito grinned. Thanks to the Sharingan, he was successfully promoted to Chuunin, and he was very excited about this.

"But I'm already a Jonin."

Hearing this, Obito raised a cross on his forehead and said angrily: "Sister Yanye is also a jounin!"

Kakashi glanced at Kotono who was smiling silently, rubbed his hair helplessly, raised the three-color meatball, and said lazily: "Congratulations."

"That's pretty much it." Obito held up the three-color meatballs and shouted excitedly: "Cheers!"

"oh!"

Akai agreed immediately.

Lin looked at everyone with a smile, and then glanced at Kakashi secretly, while Kurenai looked at Kai and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Shizune covered her mouth and chuckled, while Yanye quietly ate the meatballs first.

Asuma, Genma, and Hayate looked at each other, shrugged, and then raised their balls and made childish sounds.

"cheers!"

Kakashi lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth under the black mask were slightly raised.

Once the simple celebration was over, everyone happily ate meatballs.

"I heard cheers from a distance, which made me think that the shop selling meatballs had increased its wine-selling business." Suddenly, a slightly regretful voice came from the open door of the shop.

Everyone looked around and saw a middle-aged man wearing red and green clothes with long white hair.
