Red sand dust

The merciless ridicule of the girl in front of him was not entirely without reason, but it was also suspected of wantonly expanding the scope of the attack.

Even ninjas are still human beings with seven emotions and six desires. It is unrealistic to expect most individuals to be heroes with the world in mind; a mercenary leader at the level of a small village cannot be expected to have any great ambitions.

Of course, there are also people like Shimura Danzo who have high ambitions and low abilities.

“The more you see people’s hearts too clearly, the more disappointed you will be in this world!”

Daimaru, who was wearing Shimura Danzo's skin, smiled and said,

"The blood line of your Kurama family does not feel like it is prepared for human beings. Only demons who play with people's hearts and gods and Buddhas who confuse people's hearts need it to look at the complex thoughts of the world with an objective perspective that transcends human nature. I won’t be bothered by them!”

"Maybe!"

Kurama Yakumo shrugged, not wanting to deny it.

"Regarding actions, regardless of heart! If we really want to be serious, there is unacceptable evil hidden in almost everyone's heart! It is actually a very troublesome thing to have a human's moral values ​​but a 'god'-like perspective... "

"Hehe! Then you have nothing to do and don't peek into other people's hearts!"

"got used to!"

Kurama Yakumo felt regretful when he thought of his past experiences.

"Back then, Xue Jieqing went on a rampage. Because of 'Idu''s misguidance, I accidentally killed my parents and hurt many people who cared about me. Therefore, I wanted to see the world more clearly to avoid tragedy from happening again. result……"

"disappointed?"

"Yeah! Sometimes you have to suppress the urge to burn all the filth!"

This is just like a young boy who is full of longing for the opposite sex and always fantasizes about having a pair of clairvoyant eyes that can see through a girl's clothes. However, when he actually has one, he only sees squirming lumps of flesh and disgusting creatures with organs wrapped around the skeleton.

Perception is fair and independent of human will. Not only will it tell you what you want to see, but it will also impose on you what you don't like.

"There are still many unsatisfactory things in life. If you really want to be a 'blind man' actively or passively, that's not impossible!"

Danzo Shimura thought for a while and then responded,

"Do you still remember the concept of 'information cocoon' that I mentioned before? If you don't want to be fooled, you have to work hard to actively obtain information instead of passively accepting it, and then use your independent thinking ability to identify it. Otherwise, the results will be difficult material!"

"Reverse pollution of spiritual obsession? I understand!"

Daimaru and Kurama Yakumo are imitating ancient gods or demons to promote their names, collecting huge amounts of spiritual power to slowly improve themselves.

Every ninja is a traveler on the road to becoming a god, and there are always some who go further.

Even those messy monsters, including the Kurama Tengu, the ancestor of the Kurama family, and even Asura and Indra, have more or less similar actions.

However, if you really don't exercise restraint and use it indiscriminately, you may really be twisted into a monster by those obsessions that may seem inconspicuous, but are gathered together by thousands of weak spirits.

In the past, Daimaru had carefully studied the gods who could confer various forbidden arts, such as the sealing of corpses, the death of the god of death based on blood, and the evil gods. Only later did he realize that maybe they were also like Kurama Hachi. Like Yun and Daimaru, he was a ninja who was on the dangerous road to climb the peak and fell accidentally, or some other weird thing.

Through Shimura Danzo's perception, Daimaru's understanding is still a layer away. It is unclear whether Kurama Yakumo really has a big prejudice against Konoha Village, or whether it is just a temporary complaint, but he also seriously advised him. road:

"In addition, your assessment of the Konoha Village as an individual is still a bit biased. For example, even if I control the Sixth Hokage, I can still only do some petty theft and secret guidance. As long as there is a threat, The entire group's interests, including the elder advisors, Sannin, Jonin class and cadres, down to the street aunts, gossip girls and even the students of the ninja school, will all oppose me!"

"You are just trying to avoid making big news! If you really want to cause damage regardless of the consequences, the harm will be too great. For example, squeezing out the Hyuga family, driving a wedge between the small and medium-sized ninja clan and civilian ninjas, and breaking the curse seal of Caged Bird. Inducing Hyuga Neji to draw a group of clan members to leave, establish another branch, etc..."

"You, a serious Konoha ninja, are more cruel to your own people than I am, a Sand ninja!"

Shimura Danzo's expression was even more exciting than the snow scene outside,

"I didn't even think of such an interesting thing for the first time. You actually came up with such a sinister trick at your fingertips..."

It should be said that he is a genjutsu ninja who plays tricks and tricks. His ability to ravage people's hearts is much better than Daimaru.

"Don't flatter yourself. If you can maintain this identity without being discovered, you can work for a few more years. Let's see if you can do it!"

Kurama Yakumo curled his lips in disdain. Daimaru never disappoints in his ability to cause trouble, but the time is too short and there is not much room for control. Maintaining the current situation is already very good.

"It can be considered a reason! In short, you have some confidence in your hometown. Although it is indeed a bit unbearable, but... other villages are not much better. Don't expect too high, and don't underestimate too much! Sometimes, people's hearts Miracles will also be born when collisions occur. For example, people like Uzumaki Naruto, Namikaze Minato who died early, Gaara from our Sunagakure Village, etc., are all people worth looking forward to..."

"What about yourself?"

Kurama Yakumo suddenly dropped the topic and asked abruptly,

"Do you think you are not as good as them?"

"We are different!"

What he wants and the path he wants to take in the future are very different from those of the natives of the ninja world.

"us……"

Kurama Yakumo murmured to himself, thought about it for a while, and then nodded,

"After all, I have a few friends in Konoha Village, and the colors of their souls are also very beautiful, and they are worth taking care of. So, I will try to be more patient and look forward to an interesting future!"

"It's not about expecting, but trying to participate in it and shape it into what you want!"

Danzo Shimura knocked the floor with his cane, and then said sincerely,

"The future is long, so you have to do things early. Konoha Village is a good place, with a much higher starting point than Sunagakure Village!"

"talk later!"

Kurama Yakumo was noncommittal and perfunctory. Konoha Village is a good place, but it is relatively alienated from Kurama Yakumo. There are people in every important position. Although he has been promoted by Danzo Shimura, he has no backstage and lacks background. Once Shimura Danzo dies, Kurama Yakumo's core position in Konoha Village may not be preserved.

"Instead of doing this, it is better to focus on the Country of Fire, and when Konoha Village and the Country of Fire merge, truly participate in the Konoha Village system. 』

There are so many masters in Konoha Village that it's hard to start, but the Fire Country is much better. In addition, the Kurama family already has great influence in the world.

How to take advantage of the rich wealth, there is no better way than to invest in the Fire Nation's famous party, and then "borrow" into the key areas of Konoha Village.

Having money is often a great advantage.

…

The next morning, after a night's rest, the Five Kage Conference resumed again. After Uchiha Sasuke's attack and the obvious threat from the enemy, the originally stumbling alliance became much smoother.

The first issue discussed was about the "Quick Rescue Team", which plays an important role in managing the tailed beasts as a strategic weapon. The Five Shadows once again confirmed that it is necessary to continue to maintain it. However, the choice of its leader is indeed a thorny issue. difficult problem.

The first leader was Konoha Ninja Hatake Kakashi. At that time, the organizational structure was not very mature, but the "copy ninja" was still qualified. The second leader was Suna Ninja Daimaru, whose strength and qualifications were definitely qualified. There was nothing out of the ordinary in what he did.

But who takes over next?

Ninjas like Hatake Kakashi and Daimaru are all talented people with the qualifications to become "shadows". It's a joke that the major ninja villages can cultivate two or three in each generation.

As long as they can stand out, they are the mainstay of each ninja village. They have a distinguished status and great influence. They cannot be sent out casually.

The tailed beasts and jinchūriki have a lot to do with each other, and it is impossible to send an unsuitable person as the leader.

The third generation of the Tsuchikage, Onoki, was the first to state that the Iwa ninja would not participate in the competition. There was already a serious shortage of jobs. The only yellow earth that could be put to use had to stay in the village to guard. If Deidara was still there, there would be more manpower. Now Well, you still have to be cautious.

Kirigakure Village, which had just escaped from the "Blood Mist" policy, was even more incapable of making irresponsible remarks.

Gaara also made it clear that the Suna shinobi would not seek re-election.

Kumo Ninja was much more enthusiastic and launched Darui, who has the Blood Succession Limit Arashi Release and is known as the candidate for the Fifth Raikage. Konoha Village intends to let Tenzo take over Daimaru's position, with its unique Blood Succession Limit ·Wood Release can restrain tailed beasts, which is really satisfying.

In the end, the identity of the Konoha ninja and the famous Wood Release are indeed more convincing. In addition, there are no tailed beasts in Cloud Hidden Village to be entrusted to the "Rescue Team", which makes Tenzo stand out.

The official handover will be before this year's Chunin Examination, if it is held normally.

Another "Sniper Team" that assumes the responsibility of "Interpol", the acting leader Nara Shikaku is about to step down and returns to Konoha Village, planning to rebuild the security department;

His successor, the prestigious Yamanaka Haiichi, had almost no competitors and no one had any objections!

Since the temporary headquarters of the "Sniper Team" is in Kikyo Mountain Castle, Sunagakure Village and Iwagakure Village will occupy two permanent secret positions to assist Yamanaka Haiichi in cracking down on cross-nin village crimes and arresting traitorous ninjas.

In addition to the two organizations, the Five Shadows once again established a third auxiliary cross-ninja village organization. This time it was not an armed force designed to deal with anyone, but an armed force designed to settle mission rewards. Banks to standardize fast payment issues across countries and villages.

Of course, it also plays the role of borrowing and lending.

The prototype of the World Bank, as Daimaru explained to Kurama Yakumo, was a plan that could truly influence the lifeblood of the entire ninja world in terms of top-level system design.

Since it is a Huitong Tianxia bank, it is indispensable for powerful large merchants to join in as guarantees to support the minimum credibility.

Among them, the Kurama family has a seat, and the interests of the others are divided according to their investment.

Others can be a little perfunctory, but making money must be done carefully.

Of course, Wuying will definitely not bargain like a market vendor on this occasion. They have just determined the main framework, details, etc., and have to slowly adjust them.

However, for an initiative involving massive wealth, I am afraid that everyone has not yet realized how terrifying a power it will be once a fund pool on the scale of the entire ninja world is established.

It wasn't until the sun set in the west that the intermittent discussions ended completely, and the Five Shadows Conference also came to an end.

In the past few decades, the five shadows have gathered together every time, but never as tiring as today. Carefully weigh the pros and cons. If you are not careful, your own interests may be damaged, so you have to be cautious.

After it was completely over, the five shadows and their guards refused the banquet and hospitality offered by Mifune, the leader of the Iron Country, and left.

The Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja returned north, the Kiri Ninja went directly to the seaside pier and left by boat. Gaara, Temari and Kankuro and their group boarded the flying puppet and disappeared into the sky. Only the Hokage, once again driving a luxury carriage, prepared to return Konoha Village.

Compared with when they came, the atmosphere when they returned was obviously more solemn. Even Haruno Sakura, who didn't know any secrets, felt the danger and instinctively looked into the dense forests on both sides of the road.

In front of them, Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Sasuke had already laid a trap, waiting for the Hokage Sixth Generation and others to fall into it.

At the same time, Tenzo, who was specially arranged to complete the mission nearby and prepared for temporary emergency deployment to join the Sixth Hokage, and his reorganized special reinforcement team were heading towards the place where the conflict was about to break out.

In addition, Hatake Kakashi and Metkai, as well as several Konohagakure jonins who were not far away, also received information that the Sixth Hokage was attacked by Uchiha Sasuke when he attended the Five Shadows Conference. , as long as they are free, they are almost always patrolling and vigilant nearby, ready to obey orders at any time.

If the First Hokage wants to die spectacularly, he must at least let more people see his heroic fighting figure. Even if he is defeated and dies in the end, he must leave something behind on the spot. If he dies inexplicably, then let's just say Not sure anymore.

"Hokage, when you encounter the rebellious ninja of Konoha Village, you must not escape. Otherwise, no one will believe that the village chief has the ability to protect the villagers!"

These were Danzo Shimura's righteous words when faced with the suggestion to retreat and wait until he returned to Konoha Village before giving orders to kill Uchiha Sasuke.

The once huge Uchiha family has been wiped out, so what's so scary about just two fish that slipped through the net?

Uchiha Sasuke, who had been waiting at the ambush site for a long time, was silently refining chakra under the scrutiny of Uchiha Obito who was watching from the sidelines. Even a little more possibility of victory was precious at this critical moment.

"Here, let me see what you're capable of, Sasuke!"
