Chapter 401 Immortal Ninja

After confirming that both sides wanted to cease fire, Akimichi Norifu had people sort out the current intelligence of the enemy and us and send it back to the village, so that those people could decide whether to fight or make peace.

"What is Norifu for? Do you still need to send this kind of intention to us for review?"

After seeing the scroll sent, Utane Koharu immediately slammed the table, very angry.

It contains the intention of peace talks provided by the Sand Village. The key point is that they will not provide any more mercenary tasks to Konoha. This is completely different from the armistice agreement signed in the last Ninja World War. It is too greedy.

You have to know that Konoha won this battle!

"Rosa is not dead, but one of his legs was cut off. He will be able to fight soon. It will not have much impact on his magnetic escapades.

The Sand Village also has a new Kazekage, and they are almost united. They don't know how they tamed the Seven-Tails. Now the Seven-Tails is parked beside their camp, ready to launch the Tailed Beast Ball at us at any time.

The tactics of the Ino, Deer and Chou clans can only be used once. The Sand Village will have targeted defenses next time, and it will be difficult to work again.

The most difficult thing is the Seven-Tails, and we don't know when the killed One-Tails will be resurrected. Taking the opportunity to negotiate peace is the best choice for us."

Mitomon En analyzed calmly. Qufeng wrote it very clearly in the intelligence. If they want to fight, the village must provide support.

With the blessing of a complete and flying Tailed Beast, the Sand Village Ninja Army is very different. The threat is greatly increased, and it is difficult to resist relying on the combat power over there.

And Jiraiya can't stay there for too long, otherwise if the Rock Village knows about it, they will definitely attack in the Land of Grass.

Even the Sand Village should have sent the information about Jiraiya in Kikyo Castle to the Iwagakure Village, and maybe the Tsuchikage has already ordered an attack.

So if they want to fight, they must provide reinforcements, either by sending at least 3,000 reinforcements or sending the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to fight against the opponent's Seven-Tails.

Reinforcements are impossible, after all, all the reinforcements that can be sent by the village have been sent to the other three fronts.

Relatively speaking, the River Country front is the most worry-free for them. Since the beginning of the war, they have not asked for any reinforcements, and even some of the supplies, especially food, are solved by the three tribes of Ino, Deer, and Chou.

It is reasonable to ask for reinforcements now, but if they want to send more reinforcements, only their family ninjas can go into battle, and it is unknown how many sacrifices will be made by then.

As for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, that is even more impossible.

"The Nine-Tails must not be moved lightly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen set the tone that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must not be transferred, especially to Kikyo Castle.

Otherwise, with the relationship between Tsunade and Uzumaki Kyupin, plus the two Uzumaki clan members, who knows if Uzumaki Kyupin will be persuaded to stand on that side after going there.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's statement, the originally angry Utatane Koharu could not help but fall silent.

If the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki cannot be mobilized, then reinforcements must be sent. Which family should be sent?

"If we only negotiate peace with the Sand Village, the ceasefire and peace talks with the other three major ninja villages will inevitably be more difficult."

After a while of silence, Utatane Koharu was still unwilling. If they lost the task share in the truce contract, they would lose a lot of income in Konoha, which would be the biggest loss for their families.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing, smoking silently and thinking.

After finishing a pot of cigarettes, he said: "Peace talks, after completing the peace talks, dispatch the three tribes of Ino, Shika and Chou to the battlefield of the Land of Grass!"

The current situation is not good, and his people found that Orochimaru had been missing for a few days and his whereabouts were unknown. He guessed that it was likely that he went to Ino, Shika and Chou.

After all, what that wicked boy did has already made the Ino-Shika-Chou clan resentful, even Qufeng would be dissatisfied, and it would be easy for Orochimaru to win them over at this time.

Once the Ino-Shika-Chou clan and Qufeng choose to support Orochimaru, it will be troublesome.

Although he has prepared a backup plan for that disciple, once he does that, it will be equivalent to tearing his face and completely severing the master-disciple bond, which is equivalent to cutting off his own arm.

He doesn't want to do that unless it is absolutely necessary.

So now it is the best choice to negotiate peace, and then transfer the Ino-Shika-Chou away from Kikyoyama Castle and separate the civilian ninjas there.

He is worried that the Ino-Shika-Chou clan will brainwash those civilian ninjas, which will be more troublesome at that time.

"As for the battlefield of the Land of Grass, do you want to..."

Utatane Koharu suddenly whispered, the battlefield of the Land of Grass is of great significance to them, and the elite of the Senju clan were killed in the Land of Grass back then.

The development momentum of the Ino-Shika-Chou clan in the past two years has made her extremely worried. If it continues like this, they will definitely surpass their Utatane family.

The pie in the village is so small, she doesn't want to give up the part in her hand, especially since she controls the medical system, which is most likely to cause conflicts and competition with the Nara family and Tsunade.

Of course, she admitted that she was a little jealous of the Senju foundation obtained by the Ino-Shika-Cho clan.

"Let's see how the Ino-Shika-Cho clan performs on the battlefield of the Grass Country."

After another silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen tacitly agreed to Utatane Koharu's proposal, but he had to see how the Ino-Shika-Cho clan performed first. If they were equally strong...

Utatane Koharu showed a happy look on her face. As long as Hiruzen agreed, she could start the operation.

The three continued to discuss for a long time before they ended. Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En left, leaving Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting in the office, looking at the thousands of lights in the village through the window.

"Qufeng, don't blame me, everything is for the stability of the village."

Whispering with a complicated expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen has his own ideas and persistence. He must ensure that the position of Hokage is passed down in an orderly and stable manner. The previous experience of the Senju clan must not happen again, and it must not evolve into the Hidden Mist Village.

So Namikaze Minato is the only choice. The fourth generation Hokage must be Namikaze Minato. No matter who stands in the way, he will ruthlessly eliminate it, even if it is his best friend.

When the first generation teacher killed his best friend for the safety of the village, he Sarutobi Hiruzen also had the same awareness.

The village's order was quickly passed to Kikyo Mountain Fort. After confirming that they would negotiate, everyone was relieved, and Jiraiya returned to the battlefield of the Land of Grass as soon as possible.

Compared to him, Minato was too young, not experienced enough, and not prestige enough, and was not enough to deal with the large-scale attack of the Hidden Mist Ninja Army.

Of course, Jiraiya did not leave alone, and took a certain nephew with him.

"It's convenient to have such a flying ninja beast."

Standing on the back of the ninja hawk and looking down at the land below, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh at the advantages of this flying ninja beast, especially this giant flying ninja beast.

No wonder they were able to force the One-Tail Jinchuriki to commit suicide through a surprise attack, thus delaying the general attack plan of Sand Village for a year.

"It's still a big gap compared to Jiraiya's toad."

Nara Shikaku was modest, but the ninja hawk Xiaohei is indeed not as good as the summoned beasts of the three holy places, the reason lies in the fairy art training and strength.

Although Xiaohei's size is not inferior to the summoned beasts of the three ninjas, the combat power is very different, and the only advantage is the flying ability.

"That's true."

Jiraiya laughed, the toads of Myoboku Mountain are still very powerful, except that they can't fly.

"Senior Jiraiya, after arriving at the front, I want to go to Takigakure Village to investigate."

Tamura Hao, who had been thinking, suddenly spoke up. The appearance of the seven-tailed beast reminded him of a special point in Takigakure Village, which is the sacred tree that can produce the water of heroes.

The holy water of Takigakure Village can stimulate the body's potential in an overloaded manner, thereby obtaining dozens of times the chakra of the body. The side effect is that the body is overdrawn and eventually dies suddenly, which is similar to the side effect of Mizuki using the tiger curse seal.

And the holy water comes from the sacred tree that covers the entire Takigakure Village. It is not simple for that sacred tree to produce such holy water.

Either it is a special plant that can absorb natural energy like the Fire Temple Fairy Lotus and the Myoboku Mountain Fairy Grass, or it is related to the Ten-tailed Sacred Tree in ancient times.

Tamura Hao guessed that the latter is more likely. If it is swallowed with the fairy lotus, the foundation will definitely be greatly improved, and the degree of fit with the power of the tailed beast will inevitably be greatly improved.

"We really need to go there to investigate. I wonder if the Sand Village snatched the Seven-Tails from the Takigakure Village, or if the two have some kind of cooperation."

With a serious look on his face, Jiraiya also thought that he had to send someone to investigate. If it was the former, it would be fine, but if it was the latter, it would be troublesome. At that time, in addition to fighting against the Rock Village of the Land of Earth, they would also have to guard against the Takigakure Village.

The Takigakure Village is still very powerful. It is said that they once sent ninjas to assassinate the first generation of Hokage, and they also got away with it.

It's just that the Takigakure Village has become much more low-key in recent years, and coupled with the special nature of the village, outsiders don't know its background.

"This is also what we are worried about. If the Takigakure Village also joins this Ninja World War, it will add a lot of variables."

Nara Shikaku glanced at Tamura Hao and said something in cooperation.

Although I don't know why Xiao Hao proposed to go to the Takigakure Village, it's okay to go and take a look.

Xiao Hei's speed is very fast, especially with the blessing of Yamanaka Inoichi's light and heavy rock technique, which makes him faster.

That's right, Yamanaka Ino has the earth attribute, and all the attributes are Yin earth and water, which means he has one less Yang attribute than his future daughter Yamanaka Ino.

He used to focus on the Yin attribute, but after getting the secret earth escape ninjutsu of the Hidden Rock Village from Huang Tu, especially the Light and Heavy Rock Technique, he began to practice the earth attribute, and now he can perform the Light and Heavy Rock Technique.

When he breaks through to the Kage level in the future, he can try to practice the Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique and gain the ability to fly independently.

With the blessing of the Light and Heavy Rock Technique, Xiaohei's speed has greatly increased, and he arrived at the Konoha Ninja Army Camp in the Grass Country battlefield that night.

Jiraiya jumped down directly, and Tamura Hao and the other four took Xiaohei to continue northward, and soon flew into the territory of the Land of Taki.

Instead of going to the Land of Taki immediately, they wandered around the Land of Taki first, and soon found a small team of Taki Village ninjas, and learned about the situation and entrances and exits of the Land of Taki.

Following the information they received, the four followed the waterway into Takigakure Village.

"Sure enough, they were massacred!"

Climbing ashore, looking at the dead silent village and the traces of battle, Tamura Hao sighed that they were massacred.

Although no bodies were seen, it was probably buried by the Takigakure ninjas who returned from the outside.

"There is someone, the chakra is very strong, not weaker than Master Jiraiya."

Yamanaka Inoichi, who was performing the induction spell, suddenly spoke, and his face became extremely solemn.

He sensed a powerful chakra, which was definitely not weaker than Jiraiya, even if Master Tsunade did not open the Yin Seal.

"Chakra comparable to Senior Jiraiya."

Tamura Hao was surprised, and immediately thought of a person.

"Where is it?"

"There, no movement, only one person."

Yamanaka Inoichi pointed to a direction, and the other party was there.

"Go and have a look."

Tamura Hao stepped forward, and Nara Shikaku and the other two quickly followed.

Although the opponent is a strong man, they are not weak either. Xiao Hao can also use the power of the tailed beast to burst out the fighting power of the shadow level in a short time. Even if they start fighting, they are confident that they can defeat him.

Not to mention that they still have four six-path ninja tools.

Not long after, the four came to a cemetery where tombstones were erected. In the depths of the cemetery, there was a tall figure in a black robe.

The other party was standing in front of a tombstone, looking very silent.

Coming to the side and seeing the other party's appearance, especially the posture of covering his face, Tiancun Hao was more certain of the other party's identity.

Raising his hand to signal Nara Shikaku and the other two to wait here, he walked over to the person alone and looked at the tombstone together.

There was a woman's name on the tombstone, and from the traces on the tombstone and the condition of the grave, it was obviously a few years old.

Looking at Kakuzu's appearance, Tiancun Hao guessed that it might be a lover's wife or something like that. After all, Kakuzu slaughtered the entire high-level of Takigakure Village, including all the senior ninjas, and there must be a reason for being so cruel.

"Senior Kakuzu, I am Tsunade's disciple Tamura Hao, and I have been ordered to investigate the theft of the Seven-Tails and the massacre of Takigakure."

Tamura Hao spoke, stating his identity and purpose.

"You know me?"

Kakuzu turned his head, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

He was from the same era as the first Hokage, and was a remnant of the Warring States period. It would have been fine if some of the older generation knew him, but he didn't expect that a little guy would know his name.

"Tsunade-sensei told me about you, saying that you were the only strong man who escaped from the first generation. Even our first generation praised you highly. Tsunade-sensei even estimated that you were not weaker than the second generation and the demigod of the Hidden Rain Village.

I just didn't expect you to be alive now. I thought you were dead."

Tamura Hao showed a hint of surprise. This fat sheep teacher naturally didn't say it, but he had seen the record of this person in the classics of the Senju family, probably one or two sentences.

But being recorded by the Senju family and included in the biography of the first generation is enough to be proud of.

"It is an honor for me to be praised by the God of Ninja."

Kakuzu seemed very happy. Although he lost that battle, it was not because he was not strong enough, but because the first generation of Hokage was too strong, which completely exceeded the definition of ninja. He was defeated by the opponent and was able to escape with his life, which was also the proudest achievement of his life.

"Senior, have you heard of the movie God of Gamblers and the Thousand Hands Casino?"

Tamura Hao talked about the business of Mr. Feiyang. After seeing this person, he thought about how to recruit this person.

"Is it the Thousand Hands Casino that your Konoha built on the land of the Thousand Hands? I heard that it is quite profitable."

Kakuzu knew about the Thousand Hands Casino, and he was very sensitive to things related to money.

"Gambling is a skill passed down by our first generation, and was inherited by Teacher Tsunade, so we built that casino on the clan land, gathering all the gambling methods in the world.

In the future, we plan to make it a unique casino to attract wealthy merchants and nobles from all over the world to gamble.

It has already developed initially, and it will definitely usher in explosive development after the war.

The monthly profit alone is over 100 million taels now, and it will definitely increase tenfold or a hundredfold in the future.

Especially since we are preparing for the world's number one gambling god competition, which is similar to the Chunin exam competition, the profit at that time will definitely be greater.

We need some strong people to sit in the casino at all times. Senior, you are a strong person praised by even the first generation, and you have enough experience. This job is very suitable for you."

Tamura Hao made an invitation, saying that we can work together to make the Senju Casino bigger and stronger.

"It's a very tempting job, but I refuse."

Hearing the revenue in units of 100 million, Kakuzu was indeed tempted, but it was not enough for him to give up his freedom, let alone go to Konoha.

He was born in Takigakure Village, and he was a traitor. He even assassinated the first Hokage.

"Don't rush to refuse. We are very sincere. There are ten cubic meters of gold in it. In addition, we will give you 5% of the profits of the casino. Please consider it."

Tamura Hao directly stuffed a prepared scroll into Kakuzu's hand. He had a lot of gold sand. He almost harvested all of Luosha's small treasury. There were hundreds of cubic meters.

"Gold? Ten cubic meters?"

Looking at the scroll in his hand, Kakuzu was a little confused.

When did gold start to be calculated by cubic meters?

He gave ten cubic meters at once. Although he hadn't opened it to check, he thought it would be true. This made him think seriously.

He had worked hard for so many years. Although he had saved a lot of money, it was not worth ten cubic meters of gold.

Moreover, gold is much more stable than the paper money he praised. In recent years, due to the war, the paper money has depreciated a lot, and even the paper money issued by some small countries has been invalidated, which makes him bleed with heartache.

There is no such concern when it comes to gold.

Not to mention that this is ten cubic meters of gold, so it seems that the other party is really sincere.

"This job is very challenging for me, and I am very interested."

After confirming the other party's sincerity, Kakuzu decisively put the scroll into his sleeve.

There is no possibility that the small money in his hand will leave.

"Welcome to join our Qianshou Casino."

Tiancun Hao smiled, knowing that this person would definitely not refuse the small money.

"Senior, do you know the current situation of Takigakure Village?"

Speaking of business, he wanted to learn more about this village.

"I came here two days ago. There are not many people in Takigakure Village. They all left after dividing the holy water.

However, the holy water is produced by the holy tree. That thing can stimulate the potential of the human body and burst out ten times or even dozens of times the chakra, but the more violent the burst, the faster the death, which is suitable for desperate use."

As he said, Kakuzu pointed to the huge holy tree.

As a former strong man in Takigakure Village, he naturally knew all the secrets in the village.

"Holy tree."

Tamura Hao looked at the holy tree again, which was the main purpose of his visit.

And he had sensed it before. The holy tree itself did not have the ability to absorb natural energy, and it was obviously not that kind of elixir.

It is likely related to the Ten-tailed Divine Tree in ancient times. It may have grown from the leftover residue. The Six Paths Sage only dealt with some large pieces of residues at that time.

"I'll go to the holy tree and take a look."

As he said that, Tamura Hao spread his butterfly wings and flew towards the holy tree.

Nara Shikaku and the other two came forward to have a friendly exchange with Kakuzu. They had heard what the two had said before. Although they found it incredible, it seemed that this person had indeed become one of their own.

This person was a strong man who could survive after assassinating the first generation Hokage. They naturally welcomed such a strong man.
