Chapter 289: Ninja Village Merger
The power of the Konoha Guard has expanded a lot now, but there are more people. Although the Uchiha clan is already the core of the guard, the proportion of people has dropped to 40%.
However, Fugaku manages a lot more people than before. Now there are 60 ninja battalions and thousands of members.
But so many ninjas couldn't prevent Uchiha Obito from sneaking in. He used the time-space pupil technique to hurry on. Unless there is a targeted barrier, even the barrier against the Flying Thunder God can't solve the time-space ninjutsu.
In the deepest dungeon of the guard, all the Ino-Shika-Chou and the Sarutobi clans were imprisoned.
The void suddenly twisted, and then Uchiha Obito walked out of the Kamui space. The people in the dungeon saw Uchiha Obito and their eyes lit up slightly, but Uchiha Obito ignored them, but looked around and walked to the innermost.
When he almost reached the innermost prison, Uchiha Obito saw the Sarutobi father and son; Sarutobi Shinnosuke not only had dozens of kilograms of chains on his body, but also had his chakra sealed.
As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, his left leg and right hand were both gone, probably because they were lost in the battle, and the seals on his body were not much less than Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
Uchiha Obito shook his head and said, "The Third Hokage is really pitiful. The ninja hero of the past has fallen to this level today."
"Who are you?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said. When Uchiha Obito stopped in front of the prison door, he knew that the other party should be coming for him, but he didn't know which force this guy belonged to.
To be able to sneak into the deepest part of the guard prison, either he had the permission of the Hokage or he had special ninjutsu; as for the former, if Nawaki had retained the old feelings in his heart, he would not have lost a leg and an arm.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who asked me to come here."
Uchiha Obito said calmly, he lowered his voice, and this was the deepest part of the prison, and there were only him and Sarutobi Shinnosuke nearby, so no one else could hear.
"You taught a talented Uchiha boy. He used himself to beg me, hoping to rescue you."
It was Itachi...
After hearing what Obito said, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately guessed who he was talking about, but at the same time he felt a little ashamed. He taught Uchiha Itachi just to incite another faction in the Uchiha clan, but he didn't expect that he would lose so quickly.
"But I don't plan to rescue you. The price is too high. A three-magatama is not worth it for me to do so."
Uchiha Obito paused, walked into the prison with the ability of virtualization, and continued to count to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "When I came in just now, I saw your youngest son. It seems that Uchiha Itachi should be your only hope, but the three-magatama can't do anything. If you, the 'benefactor', are willing to help, Uchiha Itachi will have the opportunity to help you get revenge."
Then, the Sharingan under the mask turned slightly, and directly let Sarutobi Hiruzen enter the illusion. Then Uchiha Obito told Sarutobi Hiruzen some things in the environment.
Itachi Uchiha's only chance is to evolve the three magatama into a Mangekyō, and the key to open the Mangekyō is Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"The choice is yours, Sandaime, but you will survive because you have a nostalgic disciple; but your two sons will probably be the same as you, and there are other people in the Sarutobi clan. There are many people who want the Sarutobi clan to be in trouble."
Uchiha Obito's words were half true and half false, and then he gave Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Shinnosuke two poison pills. The latter only needed Sarutobi Hiruzen's order to live or die.
However, if the two of them committed suicide, there would be many benefits, that is, Uchiha Itachi's three magatama could evolve into a Mangekyō, and Sarutobi Asuma and other people in the Sarutobi clan could be saved.
After saying that, Uchiha Obito walked outside, but when he was about to walk out of this prison, Sarutobi Hiruzen whispered: "I know, let Itachi come to see me."
Even if it wasn't for Uchiha Itachi, his death could also be exchanged for Sarutobi Asuma and other people in the Sarutobi clan.
After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Uchiha Obito smiled silently, and then used the Kamui Eye Technique to leave the prison directly.
"He doesn't want to leave. As for the reason, you'd better ask him in person."
A few days later, Uchiha Obito found Uchiha Itachi again, told him about Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision, and then said: "You are Uchiha Fugaku's son. It shouldn't be a problem to go to the depths of the prison to take a look at Sarutobi Hiruzen. If you can convince him, I can help you bring him out." "Deep in the guard prison
? I see."
Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes slightly. It seems that he only needs to expose a little bit of his talent to attract his father's attention, and then find a reason for his father to take him into the prison to persuade the third generation Hokage.
Now the hope of the Uchiha clan is Uchiha Shisui. Fugaku's greatest expectation for Itachi is that he can take over his position as the captain of the guard in the future, so that he can take care of Shisui's Hokage and let the Uchiha clan regain its former glory.
"Contact me after you come back from prison. I left a way to contact you, which is more hidden than the previous one. You'd better hurry up, because the Hokage will not be in Konoha for only a few days."
After saying this, Uchiha Obito entered the Kamui space.
Rope Tree went to the daimyo's mansion yesterday. Because of the things about the Land of Fire and the Sand Village, he, Hyuga Hiashi, Uchiha Shisui and others had to listen in. However, Tsunade was not happy when she saw Rope Tree, thinking that her brother did not treat her well.
Kahn patted Nawase's shoulder and said to him, "Don't pay attention to her, Nawase, you did the right thing, I support you."
"I understand, brother-in-law."
Nawase nodded, but then reminded with a strange look on his face, "Brother-in-law, my sister just took Yoko out, don't speak so quietly."
"Really? I'm used to speaking in a low voice, it has nothing to do with Tsunade."
Kahn then turned his head and asked the general manager beside him, "When will the people from the Sand Village arrive?"
"According to the agreement, they will arrive in ten minutes, Daimyo-sama."
"Then let's go to the castle tower and wait for them, Nawase, Hiashi and Shisui."
After Kahn finished speaking, he led them to the castle tower. At present, the entire Daimyo's mansion was wrapped in protective spells and barriers. Although there were many tall buildings in the distance, they could not see the situation inside the Daimyo's mansion at all, and outsiders could not break in without a guide, not even underground.
The people from the Sand Village came here this time to discuss joining the Land of Fire.
Two years of economic collapse and the suppression of the Wind Country have left the Sand Village with almost no choice, because the Tea Country has also been occupied by the Kahn Chamber of Commerce and Kahn Shipping, and the Wind Country's window to the outside world has been almost blocked by the Fire Country. The Wind Country Daimyo was so tough that the Sand Village immediately started a war, but the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Kazekage Rasa were not idiots. Especially after seeing the military strength of the Fire Country, the Sand Ninja leaders such as Rasa had no confidence in the war.
It was comparable to the real runaway tailed beast, and it was a biological war weapon that could be perfectly controlled and infinitely cultivated.
As well as a large number of fire dragons, the Sand Ninja leaders such as the Third Kazekage, Rasa, Chiyo and Ebizo could imagine that there were enough fire dragons to cover the sunlight, flying in groups in the sky above the Sand Ninja Village.
As well as the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchūriki Uzumaki Kushina and two Wood Release Bloodlines comparable to the First Hokage, the strength of Konoha and the Fire Country was too strong, so strong that the Sand Ninja Village had no intention or ability to resist. It
was told to the Sand Ninja leaders openly that the Fire Country had the strength to wipe out the Sand Ninja Village, but for the sake of peace, they still chose to negotiate.
After two years of development, the Sand Ninja has been quite good. It has cultivated many Genin and Chunin, but these people will be snacks for the Fire Dragon when they go to the battlefield. As for the war weapons of the Sand Ninja Village, they are only five years old now and cannot control the power of the tailed beasts at all.
The behavior of the Fire Nation is almost an open conspiracy. At the beginning, it told you that you want to merge, and then gave you sweet treats, and then showed force. At this time, the Sand Ninja Village wants to die or continue to enjoy the sweet treats.
The Sand Ninja high-level officials almost don't need to ask the opinions of the people. If a war breaks out, they may not even be able to unify the opinions of the village.
This time, the Sand Ninja came to discuss the specific merger, but Luosha was late for a while; because some people in the Sand Ninja Village suddenly rebelled and attacked the Third Kazekage.
These people are almost headed by the Red Sand Scorpion. They noticed the merger of the Sand Ninja and Konoha, and were very dissatisfied with it, so they rebelled in anger; and the Red Sand Scorpion attacked the Third Kazekage before rebelling. Although the support came in time and failed to kill the Third Kazekage, the poison used by the Red Sand Scorpion still paralyzed the Third Kazekage.
However, the Red Sand Scorpion's move was useless. The merger of the Sand Village to the Fire Country was the general trend, and going against the trend would only lead to self-destruction.
After Luo Sha arrived, he explained to Kahn and Nawaki the reason for his late arrival. After a short rest, he began to discuss the merger. Luo
Sha had almost no objection to the unified household registration, the replacement of the village clothing forehead, the establishment of security patrols, and the replacement of garrisons in batches, etc. The plan proposed by Kahn was much better than he thought, without any bias or discrimination.
Then a lot of proposals were made for the interests of the Sand Ninja, especially the placement of some ninjas, the reconstruction of ninjas who were not old enough, and the planting of desertified land in the Wind Country.
As for the Wind Country Daimyo Mansion, when Luo Sha came to the Fire Country to discuss, the Wind Country Daimyo and those nobles were like fish on the chopping board.
The most powerful military organizations in the country have defected to other countries. The guardian ninjas and samurai of the Wind Country Daimyo Mansion can persist in a round of attack under the attack of the Fire Country, which is the first miracle in the ninja world.
After discussing for almost three hours and signing a merger plan with as many as 83 articles, Rasa felt that this trip was worthwhile; his position as Kazekage was saved, and he was also named the General of the Land of Fire. He also fought for the interests of the villagers and ninjas.
The only thing that worried Rasa was that he had to extract the One-Tail from his son's body, but Kahn could still guarantee that Gaara would survive and be stronger than before, so Rasa agreed.
The war of the tailed beasts should indeed belong to the person in power. Rasa thought about it from another perspective. If it were him, he would not feel at ease if the tailed beasts were taken by others.
When Orochimaru heard that the One-Tail belonged to the daimyo's mansion, he soon came to Kahn and asked for the One-Tail's chakra. He readily agreed, but asked Orochimaru to transform his pet Nine-Headed Dragon as well.
After getting the One-Tail, plus the chakra that he had long demanded from Nohara Rin and Kushina, Kahn now only had the Two-Tail, Five-Tail and Six-Tail. Uchiha Obito's effect on him was getting smaller and smaller, almost equal to zero.
"Itachi, I can't leave here. Thank you for taking the risk to come here. It's a pity that I can't see you become Hokage."
In the prison, after saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen bit through the poison given to him by Uchiha Obito, and soon fell to the ground unconscious; the poison given to him by Uchiha Obito could even destroy brain nerves, and even his memory could not be checked after death. On
the other side, Sarutobi Shinnosuke also decisively swallowed poison to commit suicide, and soon bled to death like his father.
"Teacher Shinnosuke, the Third Generation."
Uchiha Itachi felt very uncomfortable, lowered his head slightly, and the three magatama in his eyes turned wildly; these two people gave him enlightenment and help when he was very young, and even enlightened him and cared for him when his father was busy and not at home.
But now he committed suicide in prison. He would not have died with the status of the Third Hokage, but now...
The more Uchiha Itachi recalled the days when he asked the Third Hokage questions, the stronger the hatred in his heart became. After the three magatama in his eyes rotated at a certain speed, they soon connected together and turned into a triangular windmill.
"Is this the legendary eyes that the masked man said, the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
After the eyes evolved, because of the pupil power and chakra, a trace of blood was left in the eyes; but Uchiha Itachi felt better than ever. If he could get this power earlier, the Third Hokage might not have died.
But it was useless to think about these things now. Uchiha Itachi dealt with the blood left in his eyes, and after thinking of a reason, he walked outside.
"What? People are dead!?"
Uchiha Fugaku outside was surprised after hearing what Uchiha Itachi said. He immediately sent someone to check inside. After confirming that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Shinnosuke were dead, Uchiha Fugaku immediately sent someone to report the matter to the Hokage with a grim face.
"Itachi, what happened? Why did those two criminals commit suicide?"
They are not criminals! !
Uchiha Itachi responded angrily in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "I don't know, father."
"Go back home, I shouldn't have agreed to this. Remember, even if the Anbu asks, don't make any extra answers, just push everything onto me!"
Uchiha Fugaku snorted coldly. He could see that Uchiha Itachi didn't tell the truth, but the most important thing now was to deal with the matter. He would talk to Itachi in the evening.
This son's behavior has been getting weirder and weirder recently, and the feeling his chakra gave him has become a little colder.
"I know."
Uchiha Itachi said calmly, then turned around and left; when he returned home, he didn't even answer Sasuke and Mikoto's questions, and went straight ba
