The Kingdom of Rain, the City of Six Paths.

A group of ninjas with turbans on their heads and forehead protectors from Sunagakure Village walked into the Six Paths Castle.

The arrival of Sunagakure's team did not attract the attention of the Ninja ninja or the residents of Liudou Castle.

Ever since the news of Sosuke's defeat of Sarutobi Hiruzen spread, Liudou Castle has quickly become more lively than ever.

There are many people coming to buy houses, betting that the Ninja Sect can withstand the pressure from Konoha.

By then, Liudou Castle will not only be the safest place in the Land of Rain, but may even be one of the safest places in the Ninja World, and housing prices will definitely soar.

There are many or even more people selling their houses. Many people feel that a small ninja organization like the Ninja Sect cannot withstand the wrath of the five major ninja villages.

Even if the leader is strong enough, if the battle continues, the final winner will only be Konoha.

The people in the Kingdom of Rain are very familiar with this process, after all, they have experienced it once.

In addition to those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, there are also many ninjas who are curious about Soyousuke who can defeat the Third Hokage and come here to watch the fun.

Of course, intelligence ninjas from various ninja villages or ninja forces are also indispensable.

"This Six Paths Castle is really lively. How long did it take for this town to be established? Three years, it's incredible." The ninja Arisagogakure sighed.

He felt that the Six Paths City was more lively than Sunagakure Village. It was obviously just a town founded by a small force that had just emerged.

"Business? This kind of excitement is not a good thing." Yashamaru shook his head slightly.

At the moment when the five major ninja villages have ceased war, Liudou Castle, which has a huge conflict with Konoha, can be said to be the center of the whirlpool of the entire ninja world.

Because of the potential shown by the Ninja Sect, not only Konoha, but also the ninja forces surrounding the Ninja Sect probably don't want it to be easy for the Ninja Sect.

"Let's start our mission, don't waste time, we don't have much time." Yashamaru said.

They came to Liudo City not to speculate in real estate, but to drive a wedge between Ninja and Iwagakure and win Iwagakure to their side.

The Sunagakures nodded and began to look for the Iwagakure ninja.

In fact, it was not just one of their teams that came from Sunagakure, but the other team did not wear Sunagakure clothes, but entered Liudou Castle in disguise.

The two teams need to do different things.

The task of Team Yashamaru is to contact the person in charge of Iwagakure in Liudou Castle, and then tell the other party about the dangers of Ninja Sect, and initially express their intention to cooperate.

But this is just the first step.

Although interests come first and others come second, Iwagakure has been cooperating with the Ninja sect for a long time after all. Rasa didn't expect Yashamaru to convince Iwagakure directly by talking.

The Sunagakure team that came in disguise is the key point.

They will frame up the Ninja Sect to drive a wedge between Iwagakure and the Ninja Sect.

When there were gaps in the cooperation between Iwagakure and Ninzhu, Sunagakure increased his efforts, and it became difficult to maintain the cooperation between Ninzhu and Iwagakure.

However, in order not to be exposed and to prevent the action from being discovered by Iwagakure and the Ninja Sect, time is of the essence.

If Sunagakure's front foot was just rejected by Iwagakure, something happened to the Ninja clan the next day, and Iwagakure would easily suspect Sunagakure.

The separation and contact with Yashamaru and Iwagakure must be carried out at the same time.

In this way, coupled with Sunagakure's covert actions, the possibility of exposure is greatly reduced.

When Iwagakure checked, he could only find out that only one group of Sunagakure entered Liudou Castle that day and went to look for them.

In order to reduce the possibility of exposure, the two Sunagakure teams did not even contact each other at all, and only agreed on a time to take action.

Only if there is no way to complete the task within the agreed time, we will contact you and inform the other party that the task is temporarily suspended.

That's why Yashamaru said they didn't have much time.

Of course, it’s not too troublesome to find someone openly, otherwise the task would be too difficult to complete.

"Huh? There are actually ninjas who are good at puppetry in Liudou City?" A puppet master Jonin was stunned when he saw the arm of a Ninja ninja.

Although the arm looks very much like a real arm, a prosthetic arm is a prosthetic arm after all. For someone like him who works with puppets every day, he can still recognize it if he looks carefully.

The Sunagakure puppet master was very surprised. Transforming the human body is not a simple technology.

When the Ninja Ninja saw the Sunagakure Ninja staring at his arm, he originally wanted to sell his surgery.

Nowadays, due to the limited production of prosthetic limbs and the fact that only Xie can perform the surgery, except for members of the Ninja Sect, they have to charge very expensive fees.

After seeing the forehead protector on his head, the Ninja ninja gave up the idea of ​​selling it.

Sunagakure Village is the holy land of puppetry, and it is the most developed ninja force in puppetry in the entire ninja world.

And their Ninja Sect's prosthetic limbs are obviously a type of puppet technology. It would be bad if the Sunagakure Village steals the trade secrets.

Although the Sunagakure puppet master was curious, he had a mission, so he had to suppress his inner curiosity and continue to perform the mission.

With the quick actions of Yashamaru and others, they quickly found Iwagakure.

Then Yashamaru revealed his identity as the fourth generation Kazekage's brother-in-law at the right time, and successfully met the person in charge of Iwagakure in Rokudo Castle - Iwagakure Jonin Huo Hikari.

"After taking control of the Rain Kingdom, the Ninja clan quickly launched an action against the Bird Kingdom. The plan was very big..." Yashamaru started to tell the Ninja clan's wolf ambition according to the plan.

However, what Yashamaru didn't expect was that Huo Guang did not show an angry look and scold him for ruining the friendship between Ninja and Iwagakure, but instead showed a smile with a hint of surprise? Yashamaru paused for a moment, after making sure that he had said the right thing.

Then he continued.

Huo Guang politely waited for Yashamaru to finish speaking before speaking, "You are absolutely right. I feel the same way. I didn't expect that other forces were aware of the Ninja Sect's ambitions."

Yashamaru:?

Do the Ninja Sect and Iwagakure still need to distance themselves? They are just cooperating on the surface.

These two forces have never been together, so how can they provoke them to separate?

Yashamaru was a little confused. The plan to alienate one dragon had just taken the first step, so why did it end?

"Lord Yashamaru." Just when Yashamaru was about to discuss cooperation between the two villages with Huo Guang, a Sunagakure who was waiting outside came over with an anxious look on his face.

"Sorry, excuse me." Yashamaru apologized, and then walked towards the Sunagakure ninja.

"Something bad happened. Another team was arrested by the ninja ninja, and the plan failed." The Sunagakure ninja said in a low voice.

Yashamaru:......

This plan was both smooth and unsatisfactory.

"Don't be nervous, Iwagakure doesn't seem to want the Ninja Sect to continue to grow stronger." Yashamaru reassured.

If you get caught, get caught. If he can reach an agreement with Iwagakure, then the mission will be considered completed.

Then Yashamaru and Huo Guang talked a lot.

The two of them rebuked the Ninja Sect's ambitions and worried that the Ninja Sect would have a negative impact on the newly peaceful Ninja world.

However, whenever Yashamaru mentioned cooperation, Huoguang became vague and did not express his position until the end, only saying that he wanted to ask the Tsuchikage for instructions.

Yashamaru was not angry because of this. After all, he was here to seek cooperation and had already been prepared for this.

It would be better to say that the current situation is already very good, and they can almost complete the mission just relying on their team.

The fire sent Yashamaru away and quickly summoned Iwagakure for a meeting, and then sent the matter of Sunagakure to Iwagakure.

"Huo Guang, this guy did a good job this time." Ohnoki smiled after reading the information.

Iwagakure also has the idea of ​​​​union with Sunagakure, but when it comes to cooperation, the one who is approached will definitely have an advantage.

Therefore, Huo Guang's move is very good. It not only shows Iwagakure's dissatisfaction with the ninja sect, but also shows a somewhat unsettled attitude.

"In this case, there should be no problem on Sunagakure's side, but it's a bit difficult for Kusanagi Village, a small ninja village, to open up the situation." Onoki showed a thoughtful expression.

During the Third Ninja War, Iwagakure secretly cooperated with the Kusakunin leader, and the Kusakunin Village secretly helped Iwagakure.

Later, Konoha intervened and destroyed the cooperation between the two parties. The original grass ninja leader turned into a monster and was killed. The grass ninja turned against Iwagakure, and the grass ninja in turn helped Konoha fight against Iwagakure.

With Iwagakure's strength, it would be easy to take over a Kusanagi village. Not all small countries have strong men like Soyousuke.

But beating a dog depends on the owner. Now the Kusanagi village can barely be regarded as Konoha's younger brother, so they can't use violence casually.

In fact, for Iwagakure Village, the addition of Kusakunin Village is not important. It means that it can save some cannon fodder genin and will not affect the overall situation.

What Onoki really values ​​​​is Konoha's attitude, or the Ninja information hidden under Konoha's attitude.

If the Grass Ninja Village is determined not to take action against the Ninja Sect, is it possible that it is the will of Konoha?

How did Sarutobi Hiruzen lose in that battle, and why did Mu Yue directly succeed him as Hokage?

"Since we are going to be on the opposite side of the Ninja Sect in the future, why not take advantage of the fact that the friendship still exists and use this friendship to gather information." An idea flashed in Ohnoki's mind.

He found that he had fallen into a blind spot in his thinking, and had been trying to find out the battle process from the Ninja Sect and Konoha.

In fact, as an ally of the Ninja Sect, he did not need to do this. He sent someone or directly went to the Ninja Sect himself, saying that he wanted to see the strength of the Ninja Master and have a friendly competition.

With the current relationship between Iwagakure and the Ninja Sect, can Soyousuke still refuse?

The relationship between Iwagakure and the Ninja Sect is not like that between the Ninja Sect and Konoha. Even if the strong man on Iwagakure's side loses, Iwagakure can still ask the Ninja Sect to keep it secret.

In this way, once the information is obtained, he will not lose face because of it, and he can set the pace like Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As for whether the Ninja Sect will break the news after the war begins, it doesn't matter.

They have already started a war, why do they still care about this little negative news?

"It's better that I go there." Ohnoki thought about it and thought it would be more reliable to go by himself.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen lost to Soyousuke. Others may not be able to test Soyousuke's true abilities if they fight.

He was confident that his strength would not be worse than that of Hiruzen Sarutobi. He could definitely get the information that Hiruzen Sarutobi could obtain from the battle.

Thinking of this, Onoki quickly held a high-level meeting to discuss the matter.

After a period of discussion, Ohnoki's proposal was recognized by most of the senior officials.

Although Iwagakure is ready to fall out with the Ninja Sect, it hasn't happened yet. There is no danger in engaging in friendship discussions with allies. The worst is to bring more guards.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had a grudge against the Ninja Sect, could successfully return to Konoha, and of course their third Tsuchikage would not be left behind in the Ninja Sect.
