Chapter 2212 Why Give Up? (Four Thousand Words)

Haneda Kazuha, who belongs to Kusugakure Village, is the envoy sent by Kusugakure Village to Konoha, and made Konoha agree to Kusakure Village to participate in this chunin exam. "

Looking at the Fourth Kazekage who had already seen almost everything in front of him, Orochimaru spoke in time.

"What's going on with Haneda Kazuha?"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Kazekage raised his head and asked doubtfully.

Obviously he doesn't understand why he was talking about Taki Chiba just now and now he is talking about Haneda Kazuyo.

And this Haneda Kazuha does look a bit special, but it doesn't seem to have any connection with the topic they are talking about.

What does the incident in Caoyin Village have to do with them?

Although it is indeed suspicious that Kusagakure Village suddenly closed itself off to the country before, there seems to be nothing wrong with taking the Chuunin Exam. Konoha wants to show off its prestige, and the Xiaonin Village wants to improve its status. Moreover, after being closed to the country for so long, for a small country, a Xiaonin Village, The economy is absolutely devastating.

Kusakure's participation in the Chunin Examination was not only not suspicious, but also quite reasonable. On the contrary, not participating was suspicious.

This is completely out of line!

"This Haneda Kazuha looks exactly the same as Taki Chiba."

In this regard, looking at the Fourth Kazekage, Orochimaru's eyes slowly turned into a sharp and solemn expression, and he said quite seriously.

looks

Exactly the same?

Hearing this, after asking, his eyes fell on the scroll again. The fourth generation Kazekage, who wanted to see something, slowly raised his head and looked at the big snake opposite, although he had a sinister face, but exuded a serious look. pill.

"You don't mean to say that Kazuha Haneda is Taki Chiba, right?"

Then, after a long pause, the Fourth Kazekage asked tentatively.

What Orochimaru means is that because Haneda Kazuyo and Taki Chiba look exactly the same, he thinks Haneda Kazuyo is Taki Chiba.

However, just because he looks exactly like Taki Chiba, it is too far-fetched to say that Haneda Kazuyo is Taki Chiba.

In the entire world, there are cases of non-related people who look exactly the same. Although it is not common, the occurrence rate is still quite considerable. At least, this is already the case in Sunagakure Village.

This must be the case in other ninja villages.

Rare, but not impossible.

This Kazuha Haneda might just be an unrelated imagination.

Even if they are exactly the same, it cannot be used as a decisive factor to confirm that he is Taki Chiba. This is too illusory.

"of course not."

In this regard, Orochimaru shook his head. Of course, he could not say that Haneda Kazuyo was Taki Chiba just because he looked exactly the same. The reason why he expressed this meaning naturally had a series of inferences.

Reliable, inferential.

"That is?"

In response to this, the Fourth Kazekage couldn't help but put his eyes on the scroll, trying to see something from the scroll.

"First of all, let's start with the Haneda clan who suddenly reached the pinnacle of power in the Country of Grass during this period of seclusion. You should know the former leader of Kusagakure Village."

Hearing this, Orochimaru had no intention of talking nonsense and spoke.

"Well, I know that boy who was also famous in the Ninja World War. His water escape skills are said to be as good as those of the Second Hokage back then. Because of his existence, Kusagakure Village was able to preserve most of them during the Ninja World War. His strength also earned him a considerable amount of employment money during this Ninja World War. In terms of strength and popularity, he should be said to be the strongest among the leaders of Kusagakure Village."

In response, the Fourth Kazekage frowned and said casually.

I just didn't notice that there seemed to be something wrong with Kazuyo Haneda's combat data.

At this age, this kind of data

And at this moment, such a thought flashed through his mind.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Orochimaru nodded.

"What does this have to do with Haneda Kazuha?"

After hearing Orochimaru's affirmative answer, the Fourth Kazekage, who had already frowned slightly, asked.

"Since Mr. Kazekage knows the popularity and strength of the former leader of Kusakure Village, do you think that in just a few years, he will be easily defeated by an unknown Haneda clan who has never even appeared in the history of the ninja world? Instead?"

Orochimaru said this.

"So what? When Hanzo overthrew the power of the Country of Rain, it took just a few years, and the leader of the Hidden Rain Village at that time was not an ordinary person."

Hearing this, the Fourth Kazekage said rather disapprovingly.

"So, have you ever seen someone who steals the power of the Kingdom of Grass while winning the hearts of the people without losing a single soldier? Have you ever seen a daimyo marry his daughter to the leader of a ninja village? ?”

But upon hearing this, Orochimaru sneered.

This old fox has obviously thought of it, but he still insists on pushing the problem.

At the same time, this thought came to his mind.

"Without spending a single soldier? Are you marrying your daughter?"

Upon hearing these words, the Fourth Kazekage was obviously taken aback, and almost blurted out with an exclamation.

But he had never heard of anything before, and he had never heard of this way of seizing power.

Even if it is the legitimate inheritance of the Great Ninja Village, there will definitely be some blood behind the scenes, especially when there are two competitors.

Even the Fourth Hokage, who was of the same generation as him and was also a sage and wise man who took orders in times of crisis, must have brought out a touch of blood behind his back. Maybe it might be softer, but there will always be blood.

This is the price of the inevitable alternation of power.

Not only the succession of the Kazekage and the Hokage in the past generations, even the replacement of the Raikage, who has always been a family monopoly, is also accompanied by blood.

It's just that these bloodsheds all happened in the shadows, in the darkness of every ninja village. Therefore, it seems that every change of power is united and expected by everyone.

However, as Orochimaru said, he captured a Kusagakure village without spending a single soldier, and even asked the daimyo to marry his daughter to the leader.

This Haneda clan is a bit too scary.

If we say that it is still possible to happen without spending a single soldier, but it is a bit shocking for a daimyo's daughter, a princess in a sense, to marry the leader of a ninja village.

In any case, the entire ninja world has never heard of such a thing.

To be honest, the social status of the ninja is not as high as the power he controls. For the country and the daimyo, even if the ninja is a huge military force, or even the only military force, in terms of social status, it is not as high as the power he controls. They are just soldiers.

The shadows of each village have a slightly higher status and have certain autonomy, but their social status is actually not high, and they are not even among the nobility.

It is absolutely impossible for a daimyo to marry his daughter to a ninja, even a shadow of a village!

It is simply unbelievable that a daimyo of the Kingdom of Grass would marry his daughter to the new leader of Kusanagi. This kind of thing would probably not happen even if the Kingdom of Grass was destroyed!

No!

Even the destruction of the ninja world is impossible!

"Now, you understand, this Haneda clan is special."

Seeing the Fourth Kazekage speechless, Orochimaru sneered and said,.

"And this Haneda clan happens to have a character like Taki Chiba. Don't you think there's something fishy about it?"

Then, as if striking while the iron is hot, Orochimaru said again.

"Are you saying that Taki Chiba is behind all this?"

In response to this, the Fourth Kazekage suddenly raised his head, looked at Orochimaru, and said.

"If you assume that Taki Chiba is behind such a thing, do you still think it is impossible?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru said.

"Indeed, if it is Taki Chiba who mixes among the Haneda clan, it seems that it is not impossible to do such a thing. However, the appearance of Haneda Kazuyo written on it is only twelve or thirteen years old. He is now , he should be in his twenties."

In response, the Fourth Kazekage spoke.

"It's just appearance. What's so difficult for Taki Chiba? As far as I know, there is a person who can maintain his appearance without any change. He can even make his appearance regress back to his teenage years."

Hearing this, Orochimaru said disapprovingly.

"And it just so happened that Taki Chiba studied under this person for a period of time."

Finally, Orochimaru added another sentence.

Indeed, it’s just appearance.

A person like Taki Chiba has created miracles one after another in his youth. It seems that it is not unusual for his appearance to stop time.

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Kazekage couldn't help but nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

"But, would Taki Chiba be so careless? Think that by remaining a young man, he can hide it from everyone? Not really. Besides, you also said that someone can maintain a young man's posture. If he really wants to hide it, he doesn't have to do so. Clumsy."

However, although he was quite convinced in his heart, he still didn't believe it in his mouth.

To be honest, if Taki Chiba wants to hide her identity and blend in with the Haneda clan, wouldn't it be more effective to put on a public face?

"Because this is Taki Chiba's style. He deliberately puts on this exact same face, just to make you think that if you want to hide something, it would be better to change his face, to make you waver and make you doubt. So that you can't be sure. As long as you can't be sure, then his true face will never be revealed, and while confusing you, it can also attract your attention and make you focus on his face, so it is inevitable More or less ignoring his purpose.”

In this regard, Orochimaru seemed to have expected that the Fourth Kazekage would say this, and spoke.

"Okay! Just assume that Haneda Kazuha is Taki Chiba, and has been lurking in Konoha under the identity of Kusakakure. So, what does it have to do with our plan? No! It should be said that we should cancel our plan Come on, no matter what, this Taki Chiba has always been a member of Konoha. I don’t believe that he switched to Kusagakure Village. And even if he switched to Kusugakure Village, there is no reason for antagonism between him and Konoha. ! On the contrary, if we carry out the plan, we will be used by him to establish a deeper relationship with Konoha."

Hearing this, the Fourth Kazekage took a slight breath and said everything he was thinking.

To be honest, Haneda Kazuyo is Taki Chiba, and Taki Chiba is Haneda Kazuyo. This matter has nothing to do with him now.

As long as Taki Chiba is still alive, then his plan to destroy Konoha cannot be implemented. As for who Taki Chiba is now, it doesn't matter at all.

Moreover, he would not believe that Taki Chiba would betray Konoha, or that he would not take action when Konoha was in trouble.

Now, the key point is whether the plan to destroy Konoha should be given up while there is still room for change.

Rather, this is the issue of Taki Chiba's identity!

"Why should we abandon our plan to destroy Konoha?"

However, his confident words, which seemed to be completely natural, were met with Orochimaru's words that were obviously slightly sarcastic.

And the sneer on Orochimaru's face looked even more dazzling.

"Are you kidding me?"

In response to this, the Fourth Fengying hesitated for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he spoke in a calm but slightly questioning tone.

"Do you think Taki Chiba can do whatever he wants?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru's sneer suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly put on a serious posture and uttered a rhetorical question.

"Why can't he do whatever he wants?"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Kazekage almost retorted.

"Huh? Do whatever you want?"

However, in the middle of his words, he suddenly stopped. His eyes flashed, but he seemed to have discovered something important, and he was stunned on the spot.

"Yes, Taki Chiba still has scruples. Although we don't know what these scruples are yet, as long as we find this scruples, we will be able to contain him. As long as we contain him, then Konoha will still be Konoha. We We can still destroy Konoha!"

Seeing that the Fourth Kazekage seemed to be thinking of something, Orochimaru smiled again and said.

If he hadn't known that Taki Chiba had constraints, how could he have made this plan to destroy Konoha?

Taki Chiba's behavior was obviously abnormal, especially after the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Why did he disappear, why did he have to fake his death?

Isn't it possible to track down Uchiha Nobuhiko while he's still alive?

Is it necessary to use the news of his death to make others fall into an endless cycle of suspicion in order to contain the major ninja villages at that time?

So, how to explain why he killed thousands of people in one night, wounded the Raikage in five days, and forced Kumogakure to bow his head?

With his strength like this, wouldn't it be more convenient to directly shock the major ninja villages?

Why did he do this quietly, and why did he ask the Third Hokage to keep it a secret?

Isn't this extremely abnormal?

Doesn't this mean that Taki Chiba has some constraints and cannot stand on the bright side and must "die"?

So, does this mean that this constraint is Taki Chiba's weakness? As long as they grasp this constraint, even a behemoth like Taki Chiba cannot stop them?

No matter what, there is no doubt that Taki Chiba will save Konoha!

"You mean Uchiha Nobuhiko?"

At this moment, after hearing Orochimaru's words, the Fourth Kazekage said this.
