Chapter 163 Reactions From Various Villages
Once the seed of doubt appeared, Orochimaru's thoughts grew like weeds.
Orochimaru first doubted the relationship between Akatsuki and the Hidden Rain Village.
According to Yahiko, the current leader of the Hidden Rain Village, the Hidden Rain Village was recognized by Hanzo of the Salamander, so the senior members of the Akatsuki organization were trained as successors.
But if this statement is true, why did the Root lose a large number of ninjas more than a year ago?
Although Shimura Danzo has unrealistic ambitions, he will never take the initiative to provoke Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village. That action is very likely related to the Akatsuki organization, and he may even have taken action against Yahiko and others.
If his guess is correct, the Hidden Rain Village has the motive to retaliate against Konoha.
But if the Hidden Rain Village really attacked Konoha, it would most likely be against Danzo who attacked the Akatsuki organization, rather than Namikaze Minato, a fellow apprentice of the Hidden Rain Village.
Yahiko, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, has no need to kill his fellow apprentices, and it is hard to say whether he has the strength to do so.
Could it be the White Night of the Akatsuki organization?
Orochimaru changed his suspect and locked the murderer on Bai Ye. After all, Bai Ye was the only ninja in the Hidden Rain Village exchange group that he could not see through.
Bai Ye not only had the ability to kill large summoned beasts in seconds, but also colluded with Danzo secretly.
If the two colluded with each other during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, it was not impossible to kill Minato and Kushina.
But the key to the problem was whether Bai Ye had mastered the ability of time and space...
As his thoughts gradually diverged, Orochimaru was not sure how reasonable his inference was, and he did not intend to share this inference with the Third Hokage and others.
Now, he just wanted to complete the Wood Release experiment, end his cooperation with Danzo, and be ready to leave at any time.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru walked out of the lounge and began to prepare for a new round of Wood Release experiments.
The Wood Release experiment was a human experiment project initiated by the Third Hokage during the Third Ninja World War. The purpose was to cultivate Wood Release ninjas by transplanting Hashirama's cells.
When the Wood Release experiment was first launched, countless ninjas who admired the First Hokage signed up for the experiment.
He hoped to become an elite jonin in the village after successfully transplanting Hashirama's cells.
However, the risk of transplanting Hashirama's cells was beyond everyone's imagination. After sacrificing the lives of countless volunteers, the Wood Release experiment became a forbidden matter in Konoha Village.
However, he and Danzo had been conducting experiments in secret.
He was trying to explore the secret of Wood Release, while Danzo wanted to obtain a Wood Release bloodline owner.
After so many years of research, Hashirama's cell transplantation surgery has almost reached a mature stage. As long as the last human experiment is completed, the most critical data can be obtained.
Arriving at the laboratory filled with the smell of disinfectant, Orochimaru fixed his eyes on the experimental materials on the operating table.
…
A few days later, the news of the Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha spread to most of the ninja world.
Although the Konoha high-level leaders headed by the Third Generation tried hard to block the news of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, such a large-scale turmoil could not escape the eyes of spies in various villages. The news quickly spread to the intelligence agencies of various villages and was placed in front of the desks of the Five Kages.
In the Hidden Rock Village.
After carefully reading the information about the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Ohnoki's old face was full of smiles.
The Nine-Tails Rebellion caused Konoha to lose the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, which is undoubtedly a great thing for the Iwagakure Village.
It was because of the existence of the Fourth Hokage that Iwagakure lost the war with the Konoha Ninja Village.
He even once issued an order that if you encounter a golden flash, you will not be punished for abandoning the mission. This order is an indelible stain in his ruling career.
And because the Fourth Hokage is still very young, he once thought that Konoha might restore the glory of the first generation and put pressure on the other ninja villages.
Now the Fourth Hokage is dead, and the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki also died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
After losing two Kage-level strongmen in succession, Konoha's combat power has no advantage over the Iwagakure Village. If the armistice agreement is torn up now, it may be possible to annex the Grass Country, which is a buffer zone between Iwagakure and Konoha.
However, ideas are just ideas.
After a light sigh, Ohnoki gave up the unrealistic idea in his heart and turned to look at the endless Gobi Plateau outside the window.
Although he wanted to take the Iwagakure Village to annex the Grass Country in the plains.
But the current strength of the Iwagakure Village no longer allowed him to do so. In the previous Ninja World War, the Fourth Hokage almost wiped out the Iwagakure assault team in a small team encounter.
After losing those leading jonin, the Iwagakure Village could not stabilize even if it took over the Grass Country.
And rashly tearing up the peace treaty would also cause dissatisfaction among other ninja villages and daimyos of various countries, causing all kinds of serious consequences.
More importantly, he could no longer find an excellent commander to send to the front line.
Although his son Huang Tu was strong, he did not have the ability to change the situation and could not take on the responsibilities of the Tsuchikage.
The four-tailed Jinchuriki Lao Zi and the five-tailed Jinchuriki Han had the strength of the Kage level, but they disagreed with his political views.
The two of them had no interest in external expansion and were pure conservatives. Recently, they even thought that the reason for sitting on the border was to wander around the territory of the Land of Earth.
Perhaps his only hope was Kurotsuchi and Deidara.
Kurotsuchi is his granddaughter, and her talent is better than that of Yellow Earth. Deidara is a genius in earth escape in the ninja school, and maybe he can inherit his position as Tsuchikage in the future.
After retracting his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Onoki finally did not tear up the peace agreement.
Sand Hidden Village.
After launching a major purge in the village and clearing out the opposition, Luo Sha had completely secured Feng Ying's position, which could be considered as fulfilling his original wish.
After all, he launched the war against Konoha in order to divert the village's internal conflicts.
Nowadays, although Sunagakure Village is restricted by both Daimyo and Konoha due to the treaty, the large number of ninja consumed in the war has actually alleviated Sunagakure Village's resources.
But even so, the financial crisis of Sunagakure Village has not been fundamentally resolved.
They can only rely on the use of magnetic escape to pan for gold to barely maintain the normal expenses of the Ninja Village, so as not to plunge the village into a new round of civil strife because they cannot pay wages.
Luo Sha, who emerged from the underground mine and returned to Feng Ying's office, glanced at the information scroll.
After seeing the Yondaime couple died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Luo Sha's expression changed.
Although the death of the fourth generation couple has reduced Konoha's strength, which is a good thing for Sunagakure's future resistance, Sunagakure still needs the deterrence of Mudun to prevent the invasion of Kirigakure and Iwagakure.
At this time, Luo Sha suddenly remembered something and asked the assistant beside him: "Does the intelligence collected by the ANBU indicate who started the Nine-Tails Rebellion and killed the Fourth Hokage?"
Assistant Kazekage shook his head: "Lord Rasa, the village still doesn't know who killed the Fourth Hokage, but it is said that the Fourth Hokage died to seal the Kyuubi. It should be the Kyuubi who killed the Fourth Hokage. ”
At this point, Assistant Fengying also thought of something and was suddenly stunned.
If he remembered correctly, the Third Kazekage-sama also disappeared inexplicably. The only difference was that the Third Kazekage died after leaving the village, while the Fourth Hokage died in his own village.
After a moment of silence, Luo Sha's face became extremely ugly, and she even felt a little scared.
Powerful ninjas like the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Hokage died unexpectedly, and it was not impossible for him to encounter such an attack in the future.
If he died, Sunagakure Village would probably be reduced to a second-rate ninja village.
Relying solely on the Jinchuuriki Fifuku and the two elders Ebizo and Chiyo cannot support the entire Sunagakure Village. It seems that I need to be more careful when going out in the future.
In addition, the new Jinchuuriki must be selected as soon as possible.
The old monk Fenfu is already a candle in the wind. Once the seal is lifted, Sunagakure will not have the foundation to support a Shukaku Rebellion. He must be careful, careful and careful again.
As for the idea of taking advantage of the opportunity to start a war, Luo Sha had no idea at all.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Sha waved to his assistant, then took the pen and paper from the assistant and began to write a letter to the Konoha Ninja Village.
In this turbulent era, Sunagakure Village must hold on to Konoha's thighs.
Inside Kirigakure Village.
The Fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura received the information about the Nine-Tails Rebellion, his face suddenly became serious, and he examined it for a long time.
As a Mizukage who has just taken office, Gotachibana Yagura is short in stature and has a baby face, but being able to win the war for the position of Mizukage is by no means as simple as it seems.
After carefully reading all the information about the Kyuubi Rebellion, Goju Yagura and Rasa's expressions were equally ugly.
Konoha has encountered the Nine-Tails Rebellion, which is certainly a good thing for Kirigakure Village, but the turmoil that Kirigakure Village has just experienced is not simpler than the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
In order to compete for the position of Mizukage, the major families in Kirigakure Village fought against each other, and it was not uncommon for people to die.
And if he hadn't been recognized by the Yuanshi, he wouldn't have been able to become the new Mizukage, barely giving the chaotic Kirigakure Village a backbone.
After becoming the Mizukage, Goju Yagura realized how bad the situation in Kirigakure Village was. Although the third Mizukage died while studying ninjutsu, there were also many strange things during his tenure.
First of all, the third generation Mizukage is the strongest ninja in the village and should not die so casually.
Secondly, why did the Third Mizukage issue so many incredible orders during his tenure? Why did the village kidnap the Konoha ninja and make her a three-tailed jinchuriki to go to the Hidden Leaf Village to create chaos.
Not to mention that Konoha has as many strong men as two hands, the Konoha sealing technique alone is enough to seal the three-tailed Jinchuuriki.
It can be said that the plan of the Third Mizukage was completely a bad move.
Not to mention that it would be difficult to play a role, if the Three-Tails were lost, the village would be left with the only disobedient Jinchūriki of the Six-Tails.
This made people begin to wonder whether the Third Mizukage had suffered a heavy blow, or was simply controlled by illusion, so he issued a series of unbelievable orders.
But if even a strong man like the Third Mizukage was controlled, wouldn't he also be in danger?
Thinking of this, Goju Yagura looked at the information about the Nine-Tails Rebellion in his hand again. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and looked around in horror.
He felt that a big web of conspiracy had emerged in the ninja world, tightly covering the five major countries.
That's why the third Kazekage of Sunagakure suddenly disappeared, and his third Mizukage suddenly died at home. Even the fourth Hokage, who mastered the time and space ninjutsu, committed suicide inexplicably.
At this time, Goju Yagura suddenly looked behind him and saw a whirlpool suddenly appeared behind him.
Immediately, a masked man wearing a tiger-striped mask stepped out of the whirlpool. The masked man opened his eyes. Through the opening of the masked man, the masked man's eyes could be easily seen clearly.
That was a pair of red eyes with an ominous aura.
Yagura knew that this was an eye. This kind of eye was none other than the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan of Konoha. But isn't the Sharingan's three magatama the limit? Why are there other patterns?
Could it be that this pair of eyes is the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan!
But how could the Uchiha have a Mangekyō Sharingan? That was just a legend. In the legend, the last person who had this pair of eyes was the Shura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara!
Thinking of this, Yagura guessed everything immediately.
He knew why the Third Generation Mizukage made all kinds of strange moves, why the Third Generation Kazekage disappeared mysteriously, and why the Fourth Generation Hokage died in Konoha Ninja.
It turned out that after Konoha experienced the Battle of the Valley of the End, Uchiha Madara did not die.
Instead, he lurked in the Ninja World and began to secretly manipulate the Hidden Mist Village. Therefore, the Hidden Mist Village could never unite together, and the Third Generation Mizukage suddenly died at home.
And he will become the next puppet to be manipulated.
No, I must not become a puppet, I must resist Uchiha Madara.
Just as Yagura's face changed, Obito also looked at Yagura. He stared at the young-looking Mizukage and activated the Sharingan illusion.
The Sharingan illusion made Yagura look stunned, and the speed of the seal slowed down by half a beat.
At this time, a pair of hands suddenly appeared from the ground. The dark arms grabbed Yagura's legs and pulled him directly underground.
Taking this opportunity, Obito came to Yagura and activated Kamui.
A whirlpool suddenly appeared in the void, and after a tug, Yagura was brought directly into the Kamui space.
For Obito, even if he used the Mangekyō Sharingan, it would be very difficult to deal with a ninja with the title of Shadow.
Only by bringing him into the Kamui space can he have a slight chance of winning.
There is no water or food in the Kamui Space. Even a powerful ninja like the Five Kage can't hold on for long. As long as they run out of ammunition and food, they can use Sharingan illusion to exert control.
The reason for controlling the Fourth Mizukage is also very simple. He wants to use the Hidden Mist Village as a base for training subordinates.
A peaceful ninja village cannot train powerful ninjas. Only by keeping the Hidden Mist Village in chaos for a long time can it train suitable subordinates.
