Konoha, Jan. 26, 63
The lake was cold.
It was colder than the sea.
Against the rising sun, Hidan was trekking, covered in mud, his stomach growling, and dragging a red scythe shining with cold light.
He held a small alarm clock in one hand. The alarm clock was broken.
It was twisted out of shape.
Shaking it, there was still a little water in it. Hidan knew that in a few days, the iron on the alarm clock would rust, and the ochre embroidery would mold where there was no rust.
Green mold. So Hidan simply threw the alarm clock far away.
In the direction of the ruins that could no longer be seen.
Things that were broken should be discarded, and things that were useless should be discarded. The strong preyed on the weak.
It was the same everywhere. You were strong.
You were right. In the abyss of blood and darkness.
Only God and death were the most just.
But was it really a sin to be weak?
You had parents, a wife, and children.
Working hard was only enough to eat and wear, and your country increased taxes. You had no more food to pay taxes.
So you were judged guilty.
The reason why your country increased taxes on you.
Because the country next door allowed your country to buy their air. Your country couldn't afford to buy it, but your country could breathe the air of the neighboring country.
So your country was judged guilty.
You wanted to resist, but the neighboring country was bigger than you, had more people than you, was richer than you, and could fight better than you. Your king and people were afraid and accepted the truth that buying air could bring peace. So you, who took up arms to defend your country, were judged guilty.
"So, you are weaker than me, so you are guilty." Hidan looked around at the masked Shinobu Iwa who slowly surrounded him, licked his lips, and raised his scythe.
"Wait! Mr. Hidan! We mean no harm, and we are also looking for Didara. "
"He promised us that he would return to Shinobu Iwa after blowing up the dam, but we didn't see him."
"We need Didara's help."
"Yes, no matter how powerful Tsuchikage is, he can't live forever. He is old, and his son Kitsuchi is a stubborn baby. His granddaughter Kurotsuchi is even more unreliable, a young lady who doesn't know shit."
"Katsuki-sama can fight and win people's hearts, but that guard is really loyal to Tsuchikage-sama."
Fei Duan couldn't tell who was who, but she still put down her scythe. Believers of God didn't have any obsession with art, but the ritual also had to look at the atmosphere.
After a moment of silence, the leader of Shinobu Iwa took off his mask to show his sincerity. "Mr. Hiduan, you are Didara -sama's companion, and so are we. It is indeed suspicious that the people of the Shinobi Village invited the defected Shinobi back to their hometown, but please rest assured that we will not harm Didara -sama, we just want to be loyal to him. "
"Ha." Fei Duan looked at the middle-aged man with a wide mouth and thick cheeks, raised his head and laughed wildly. He didn't know what Auntie Oden was planning, nor did he know what Shinobu Iwa was planning to do. He also didn't know what the connection between the two was, but he was sure that no one would be able to harm a dead person now and in the future.
So, is Didara dead?
He saw with his own eyes that Didara exploded with a bang, and he tried his best to look for the wreckage all night, but he didn't even find a hair, so he probably really turned into an atom.
But Fei Duan felt that it was too easy for this little brat to die like this. Just a moment ago, he was still talking about the other side of the mountain and the sea with him, and he looked like he wanted to go and see it when he had time in the future, but the next moment, he died? Even if he didn't want to get involved in trouble, he should have shouted a few times and left a few last words with irrefutable evidence. Look at Orochimaru.
But if he didn't die …
In order to send out the birthday gift on time, he gave himself a big joke in a fit of anger – Didara was really something. "Hey, do you have hair gel?"
Several Shinobu Iwa looked at each other, and someone really took out a can of hair gel.
"You're good, keep it up, your head can be broken and blood can flow, but your hairstyle can't be messed up." Fei Duan approached to take it. He prepared to spray the can as soon as he got it, spray it on the face, throw a lighter, wave his sickle, and turn around to run. A few Shinobu Iwa weren't scary, but what did this mess have to do with him – "Hiss hiss hiss hiss."
"Bang!"
Blood splattered everywhere.
Fei Duan got what he wanted and ran, but he didn't run by himself, and each of the Shinobu Iwa carried a part of his body as they ran. The rotten head, two arms, two legs, and the torso were placed in six stone boxes, sealed with strips, and sent underground in six different directions. It was very deep and dark underground.
"So, let's just say this one is dead." Soon, the Shinobu Iwa gathered again. "Tsk, he's still talking when his head is dismembered."
"Anyway, no one can hear him even if he screams himself hoarse." Those responsible for burying the legs and hands were still fine, and the limbs that could move were still limbs. "Anyway, our mission this time has been successfully completed, right, Captain?"
"Yes." The captain, who buried the torso, hid his disgust. He was 43 years old this year, born in World War II, raised in World War III, and experienced 30 years of cruel battles. He had seen all kinds of strange deaths, but he really couldn't accept the internal organs flowing out of the body, and the heart was still beating. "Mission completed."
"But, is Didara really dead?" No one really cared about Fei Duan. "Little Didara, dead without a corpse …"
There was a silence.
"Everyone saw it, Didara did blow himself up."
"We've been following Fei Duan all this time, and he didn't change his words."
"But just to be on time?"
The middle-aged captain sighed. "Seven years old. Deidara is such a person. He can't be provoked, self-righteous, likes to go to extremes, and has no respect for life. Didn't Tsuchikage-sama want to temper his temper? But what about him? He ran away to become a rebellious ninja, and dared to kill indiscriminately in order to experiment with new ninjutsu. "
"But he didn't touch anyone from the Earth Country." Finally, someone mustered up the courage to speak up for Didara. "Yes, someone was born naughty, but he's the strongest and smartest among the younger generation. He learned ninjutsu quickly, and it's not a problem to develop new ninjutsu. If Sandaime-sama taught him Dust Release, he would definitely learn it … If, I mean if, Didara didn't blow himself up, do we really have to kill that child in the end?"
"This is the Tsuchikage Order! If we can understand, we have to carry it out. If we don't understand, we have to carry it out. " The Shinobu Iwa captain's eyes were firm. "A ninja doesn't need a reason to carry out an order. Only when the reason is sufficient will they carry out the order. What's the difference between us and a rebellious ninja?"
"…"
"Obey the order, don't think too much."
"…"
"Stability is justice for everyone."
There was another silence.
The Shinobu Iwa captain waved his hand. "Forget it, let's go. We're in a hurry. We're racing against Konoha, using our two legs and the soles of our feet."
While running at high speed, someone still asked, "Captain, is that Dust Release lost just like that?"
"If the idiots really took action and brought this little bastard back to the village, you know what the consequences would be."
"It's stupid to split up when we should be united, but Dust Release …"
"You're all in your thirties. Don't you understand? How can a country's long-term stability be decided by mere ninjutsu? " The Shinobu Iwa captain's eyes were firm. "Think about that S-rank rebellious ninja just now. As long as the information is correct, dealing with an immortal body is as easy as using a can of hair gel."
Finally, no one spoke up. But an inexplicable tension slowly grew in everyone's hearts. Shinobu Iwa wasn't afraid of war, and it was natural for them to sacrifice their lives for the country. Not to mention, their opponent was the cruel Naruto and Bo Fung Watergate, who killed people without mercy. Looking at the bones under the rubble of the River country, if they retreated, who else could they rely on?
But a war …
A war with Konoha and the Land of Fire had already begun quietly. There was no need to declare war. In a war between ninjas, there was no need to tell the other side in advance.
Nobility was the epitaph of the noble, and despicableness was the passport of the despicable. Wasn't Konoha also looking for dissidents in Shinobu Iwa, trying to divide and subvert them?
In this round, Konoha was one step behind Shinobu Iwa.
"Thor, Thor's communicator, Thor's map. If you can't see the target and chase the wrong target, no matter how fast you are, you're just a headless fly. " In the Land of Earth, in the Tsuchikage Tower of the Rock Hidden Village, in a spacious hall with pillars. Onoki, the Tsuchikage Two Tenma Scale, sat on the high platform at the end of the hall, looking down at the huge square formation kneeling on one knee.
They were all Jonin.
While other villages have lost too many youths due to missions or wars, their youths have grown up step by step and started their own careers. The Rock Village doesn't need geniuses. The Rock Village will never have an underage Jonin. After they reach adulthood, they won't be promoted without at least eight or ten years of experience. Shinobu Iwa who fought on the front line were only veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Even if the youths complained, they would never be shaken.
Shinobu Iwa carefully guarded their future. Shinobu Iwa was happy to have the opportunity to destroy the future of other villages.
Onoki wasn't optimistic about Konoha's future.
"Konoha's foundation is indeed weak. No one knows what will happen to Konoha after Bo Fung Watergate dies." Many people in the Land of Lightning next door also held this view.
"But it's not bad for us. In any case, it's Kumo who controls the country, not the other way around." After the morning exercise, Ai Ying took the morning report with a towel and a leaflet. She curled the corner of her mouth and said, "What the hell? Outside, Tang Renin's rebel Ninja Hidan accused Namikaze Minato of massacring the whole family of the River Country. Now, he blew up the reservoir that Konoha used to cover up the crime, revealing the scene of the tragedy. He sincerely invites people from all walks of life to condemn Konoha together? "
"Oh, Chek, it's not something a Shinobu can do. Overnight, the five major National capital can see it all over the world. Shinobu Iwa is running around again. Brother, what do you think we should do? "
Lei Ying ignored him and went to take a shower.
In the Mist Village of the Water Country, Mei Teru, who had just taken a shower, saw the leaflet and the information summary and laughed. "Oh, Shinobu Iwa is so big. When did they prepare this? Did they start printing years ago?"
The one-eyed deputy answered seriously. "The Kumo took the initiative to help collect the printed materials. What about us?"
"What about the Kumo?"
"It's not very effective."
"So perfunctory." Mei Teru frowned. "We're allies. How can we just watch from the sidelines? This way, we can get more results. But it's about Naruto, and we can't stop people from talking. "
The deputy wrote down the order. "But the Sand Hidden …"
"I didn't ask about the Land of the Wind." Mei Teru pinched the deputy's shoulder. "Remember, the Mist and Konoha signed a peace agreement. We only chose to ally because the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. We didn't pledge allegiance to Konoha."
"A few days ago, you said …"
"Holding thighs and pledging allegiance are not synonyms. Qing, read more books."
The Kazekage Eero was forced to read every morning by Makiriri, but he didn't think there was any difference between holding thighs and pledging allegiance. The Sand Hidden heard a loud noise in the middle of the night and began to cooperate with Konoha to block and investigate the crime scene. Before the sky was bright.
The illegal flyers on the streets and alleys of the Wind Country had all been burned. They also provided logistical services and information sharing for the Konoha Ninjas.
The Mist used the entire Land of the Wind to bet that Konoha had a Child of the Plane and bet on the future of the Land of Fire.
Even if Shinobu Iwa did a great job this time, it was worth learning from. Eero silently opened the diary Naruto gave him and began to write:
First, show weakness to the enemy. Being overestimated won't scare the enemy away, but being underestimated can make the enemy relax their vigilance and make it easier to sneak in.
When the battle is about to start, first fan the flames and test the enemy's strength. First, taking the initiative to attack can destroy the enemy's prestige and boost one's morale. Second, if you can't beat them, you can surrender early. Third, if you think you can fight, you can delay the enemy's footsteps. If you're lucky, you can even mess up the enemy's established deployment.
At the same time, don't forget to expose the enemy's dark secrets. Make the enemy a big bad guy, and your side will be righteous. This way, the third party will have a decent reason to remain neutral, and the enemy will be filled with righteous indignation. Also, the fiercer the enemy is, the more united we will be, and the more we can intimidate those who want to surrender, appease, or drag us down.
Of course, it would be great if the dark secrets contained information that could provoke the enemy's internal conflict.
"Tsk, provoke?" Naruto stood behind Eero with a plate of meat buns in his hand. He was actually in a good mood. He gave up on going home to celebrate his father's birthday. Heh, there will be something he can use him for. Although it's just a small matter of being slandered. "Not to mention how many people in our village believe that my father is a big bad guy. Even if it's true, who would make things difficult for Naruto for the enemy's life?"
Eero held a meat bun in his mouth and wanted to tell the carefree young master Naruto, who didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, that even if it's true, there is a record in the Sand Hidden that your father really did kill people in the River country and deserved to die. Also, there are people who would make things difficult for my kage for the enemy's life. This kind of thing can be used to attack the leader.
Naruto thought that Eero was looking at him like he was asking for advice, and he became even more excited. "Also, Konoha's rise has always been a bloody path. No country or power rises just because of friendly relations."
"…" Eero, who was eating a meat bun.
"…" Sasuke, who was eating a meat bun in the shadows.
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile." Naruto coughed lightly. "It's not rare for a future Naruto candidate to say such wise words."
"Chuunibyou," Sasuke, Eero, and I said in unison.
Then, Eero glared at Sasuke, who was everywhere, but today, his expression was especially gentle. "Sasuke, you can eat more if you like. Maybe you won't be able to eat it again in the future."
Sasuke was confused.
Then, I Eero wanted to tell Sasuke, who was unaware of the situation, that it wasn't unrelated to him. The flyers he burned last night weren't just to pull down the great leader of the Four Generations, Naruto, from his pedestal. Of course, it would be great if there was a silly boy who was innocent enough to distance himself from his idol. But even if there wasn't a silly boy, he still successfully slapped Konoha's hidden window paper on everyone's eyelashes.
This window paper was far too thin.
Hidan, Akatsuki, Explosion, Didara, Seto Cooking, Woman in Hiding, and so on. The old-fashioned anti-tracking technology was full of loopholes after 20 years. Looking through the anti-theft cameras of many shops would reveal at least half a face.
The five great shinobi villages had been studying each other for decades. The detailed information on the upper echelons and their families were all stored in large closets. Plus, the five great shinobi villages had been relatively peaceful for 20 years, and the newspaper and television industry had also begun to develop … It was true that no one paid attention, but if they looked closely, who would mistake the wife of an important official of another country?
Mikoto Uchiha, the widow of the former leader of Uchiha and the current leader's mother, suddenly appeared in the Land of Hot Water and offered a huge reward for information on a poisonous substance? Offering a reward for a certain poison was normal for ordinary people to ask ninjas for help. But did this lady need such a reward?
Further down the line, the reward was actually taken by someone else in just a few days. Mikoto Uchiha immediately turned around and insisted that Bo Fung Watergate was the cause of Konoha's disgust. Then, thinking back to the earlier information, there had always been people who suspected that Uchiha Fugaku was killed by Bo Fung Watergate …
In short, regardless of whether it was true or not, Mikoto Uchiha was really avenging her husband.
So, did Shinobu Iwa cooperate with Mikoto Uchiha from the beginning, or was Mikoto Uchiha maliciously led by this lady, or was this lady just lucky?
Thinking of this, Eero poured a bowl of porridge for Sasuke, who had a good appetite.
Anyway, Konoha was caught red-handed, and it was going to be a mess.
They won't give Konoha time to slowly prove whether Mikoto Uchiha was an individual or a representative of the Uchiha family. Knowing that she was qualified to represent the Uchiha family is enough.
They won't give Uchiha a chance to slowly explain and talk, unless there is no internal conflict in the Uchiha family. No one has no opinion about Konoha, and everyone has to be clear-headed and mentally strong at the same time. They must be able to maintain restraint and not be afraid of the village taking action.
But even then, it depends on whether Konoha will be worried that Uchiha is afraid that Konoha will make the first move, so in case Uchiha makes the first move and can't withstand the pressure.
Pressure is the ratio of force to the surface of the force.
