Chapter 201 Popularizing Two-Color Domineering! "Auntie" Orochi Returns to Konoha!

The land of wind.

Sand Hidden Village.

Kazekage office.

"Five million taels? It's just to repair a road. Why do you need so much money? The village only gives you 1 million! Any more will be gone!"

"To build a new canal, do we need to apply for 13 million taels of funding? There is only 3 million, don't you want it if you love it!"

"Two chuunin died in the line of duty while performing their mission. The total pension required is 500,000 taels... Well, the village's finances have been a bit tight recently. We will talk about the pension next month."

"Why does the Sand Hidden Village Orphanage need 2 million taels a month? With more than a hundred orphans, does it need so much expenses a month? The orphanage's funding will be reduced to 1 million taels next month!"

"There are five old ninjas clamoring for three years of unpaid pensions? Humph, let them wait!"

"call……"

As the fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure Village, "Rasa"'s biggest trouble every day is that Sunagakure Village is very poor. It is so poor that he, the fourth Kazekage, has to struggle in every aspect.

He also knew that it would be difficult to do something well with so little money allocated to various aspects.

But the village only has so much money.

even.

Sometimes the village is so poor that he, the Fourth Kazekage, needs to go out in person to pan for gold in the deserted desert.

After finally finding some gold, you have to convert the gold into money and throw it into the bottomless pit of Ninja Village.

Who says that being the Shadow of a Village means being at the pinnacle of power and omnipotent?

Luo Sha has never seen a shadow that is more miserable than himself!

I have never seen anyone poorer than myself!

"Phew!" Luo Sha, who was sitting on a chair, sighed again. He shook his head with a sullen expression: "If the funds from the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind don't come over, the village will not be able to function."

knock!

knock!

knock!

"Lord Kazekage! There is urgent news!"

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, followed by the voice of a Sunagakure ninja.

"Come in!" The sad look on Luo Sha's face quickly dissipated. He put on a Sima expression and his tone was relatively low.

The office door was pushed open.

"Kazekage-sama!" The Sunagakure ninja who walked in hurriedly put the intelligence document in his hand on the desk: "This is an urgent report from Konoha Village, related to this Chunin Exam."

"Oh?" Rasa raised her eyebrows. Originally, Sunagakure Village did not want to participate in the Chunin Exam held by Konoha Village.

Because the village really couldn't allocate more money to let a group of genin travel so far away to take the chunin exam.

But Konoha promised that all expenses would be borne by Konoha.

So Rasa sent a bunch of Sunagakure genin over.

Anyway, there is no need for Sunagakure Village to pay. After all, even the travel expenses for traveling all the way there were reimbursed by Konoha Village.

"At this time, the Chunin Exams shouldn't be over yet, right?"

Luo Sha looked through the intelligence documents.

He opened his eyes and took a closer look.

"..."

The entire Kazekage office suddenly fell into an atmosphere of silence.

Every line of text on the information made Luo Sha's eyes widen a little, and his face was filled with a look of disbelief.

puff--

The fingers holding the intelligence document were so hard that they directly punctured the paper.

One can imagine how ups and downs Luo Sha, the Fourth Generation Kazekage, was feeling at this moment.

"This is too much!"

"This is too much!"

Saying "it's too much!" was enough to prove how angry he was.

The bulging veins on his forehead trembled with his anger.

"A group of pirates Xiao Xiao! How dare you threaten Sunagakure Village?"

"That loser Mojian Heiji actually promised to pay the ransom?"

"waste!!"

"Asshole!!"

In a rage, Luo Sha swept away all the items on the desk, and only clenched the intelligence documents into a ball in his hand.

"The Bastard Beard Pirates, do you really think that Sunagakure Village is made of mud? Do you think that just one pirate group can make Sunagakure Village afraid of them?"

"Ahem!" The old cough interrupted Luo Sha's gaffe.

An old man with a light yellow bandage on his head and unusually long white eyebrows stood in front of the office door.

This person is none other than Ebizo, one of the senior advisors of Sunagakure Village.

He is also a high-ranking figure in Sunagakure Village who has taken a back seat.

certainly.

The so-called taking a back seat is only in name.

In fact, Ebizo still controls the intelligence agency of Sunagakure Village and plays an important role in Sunagakure Village.

Even if Rasa is the fourth generation Kazekage.

But you have to pay three respects to Ebizo.

"I found out that I left my fishing gear in the office building yesterday, so I wanted to come over and pick it up today. I just took the fishing gear away and wanted to leave the office building, so I happened to pass by here." Ebizo explained that he was not there eavesdrop.

"Master Kazekage, what happened? Can you tell me this retired old man?"

Ebizo said: "Although I can't do much with my old bones, I can still give you some suggestions."

"Hmph! Take a look!" Luo Sha threw the clumped-up intelligence documents to Ebizo.

Ebizo stretched out his hand to take it.

Slowly, he opened the information file that was so soft and rotten.

He squinted his presbyopic eyes and read the words above carefully.

Ebizo's white eyebrows gradually began to wrinkle.

The wrinkles on his face were wrinkled like tree lines.

"The Whitebeard Pirates kidnapped a dozen genin from our Sunagakure Village, and they still want us to redeem these genin for 20 million?"

Ebizo realized that this was indeed a very difficult problem.

Especially when it comes to the Whitebeard Pirates.

For more than a year, the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates has been known to everyone in the ninja world.

And it’s basically all “notoriety”!

"Kazekage-sama... the Whitebeard Pirates cannot be underestimated." Ebizo coughed a few times, and reminded him in a serious tone: "Especially the Whitebeard among the Whitebeard Pirates. His power destroyed the entire Kusanagi Village, and he also killed the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village."

"So what?" Luo Sha's face turned pale: "Are we going to give up 20 million taels to a pirate group?"

He doesn't think he is worse than Whitebeard.

Just destroy a grass ninja village! A small ninja village like the Grass Ninja Village didn't even need him, the Kazekage, to take action. He could just send out a jounin from Sunagakure Village and a few chuunin to "raze" a mere Grass Ninja Village to the ground.

As for the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village?

He's just an old brat who never grows up!

So what if it was a perfect Jinchuuriki? When Tarasa was young, it was not like he had never suppressed tailed beasts by himself.

You know... every time the tailed beasts in Sunagakure Village got out of control, it was Luosha who took action to suppress them.

He thought that if he fought with the Fourth Mizukage...

He can also kill the Fourth Mizukage!

Also because of this idea.

Luo Sha felt that his strength was not much worse than that of Whitebeard.

A tie is no problem.

"Kazekage-sama, if Sunagakure Village and the Whitebeard Pirates go to war, we will not only have to face the Whitebeard Pirates." Ebizo was calmer: "At that time, we will also have to face a Grass Ninja. Village and a shadowless Kirigakure village.”

"If the Whitebeard Pirates have a power comparable to that of the Ninja Village, and have the support of the Kusanagi Ninja Village and Kirigakure Village, then it will be equivalent to three Ninja Villages besieging us."

"Master Kazekage, we will be very passive."

Ebizo continued: "The intelligence also said that Shunshen Shisui of Konoha has joined the Whitebeard Pirates. The Uchiha clan of Konoha has a close relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates."

"In case Konoha is also involved..."

Ebizo's tone was serious: "That's equivalent to four ninja villages besieging our Sunagakure village! And the jinchuriki of our village is too young, and it will be difficult for that child to participate in a war."

"It may turn into a disaster that wipes out the village!"

Luo Sha: "..."

This sentence after sentence made the angry Luo Sha calm down a little.

He thought about what Ebizo said.

Luo Sha suddenly gritted her teeth.

Because what Ebizo said is right.

"The problem is." Luo Sha's face turned green and black. She was silent for more than ten seconds, and finally choked out this sentence: "There is not that much money."

A strong wind unique to the desert blew outside the window.

A burst of yellow sand flew by.

The office fell into deathly silence.

"Kazekage-sama, we must spend money to redeem those dozen genin, otherwise, the people in the village will be scattered." Ebizo made a suggestion: "How about, Kazekage-sama, you can work harder ?”

Although Ebizo's words were not very clear, he just wanted Luo Sha to go deep into the desert to find more gold and come back.

Just suffer for a moment, Lord Kazekage.

Sunagakure's life was much easier.

Luo Sha: "..."

…

The land of rain.

Rain Ninja Village.

All forces affiliated with Sanho Hanzo have been wiped out by the Akatsuki organization. Anyone who favors Sanho Hanzo will be assassinated by the Akatsuki organization.

The entire Rain Ninja Village was controlled by Nagato in a very rough way.

"Penn" who appeared in front of outsiders became the "god" of Yu Ninja Village.

Xiaonan became God's "angel".

Yes.

The legendary ninja demigod Sansho Hanzo was killed by the Akatsuki organization some time ago.

In addition, Nagato followed a policy of isolation from the country, so outsiders had no idea what was happening in the Rain Ninja Village.

Many people don't know that Yu Ninja Village has changed hands.

When the Leaf Village invited the Rain Ninja Village to participate in the Chunin Exam, they thought that the legendary ninja demigod was still alive.

The telegrams and letters sent from Konoha to the Rain Ninja Village all begin with "Your Excellency Sansho Hanzo".

As everyone knows...

These telegrams and letters will all fall into Xiaonan's hands.

And at this moment.

A telegram from Konoha fell into Konan's hands again.

But this telegram from Konoha was not sent by people from Konoha Village, but from people in their Rain Ninja Village.

"Nagato, look." Konan looked complicated and handed the telegram translation in his hand to Nagato.

Nagato, who was sitting in a wheelchair, reached out and took it in confusion.

Nagato took a closer look.

"Um?"

He looked surprised.

Konan shook his head helplessly: "I didn't expect that the genin sent to take the chunin exam would be arrested. These days... blackmail is all on Akatsuki's head."

Nagato thought for a while and said, "After all, they don't know that the Rain Ninja Village has fallen into our hands. The Whitebeard Pirates thought it was the Rain Ninja Village that was blackmailing, not our Akatsuki organization."

He looked at Xiaonan: "Are we going to pay this ransom? The ransom of 9 million taels is not a small amount, right?"

Xiaonan said rationally: "If we want to suppress the information about the change of ownership of Yu Ninja Village, we have to pay this ransom. Because at this stage, we have to keep a certain low profile."

"Nine million taels is a lot, but the redeemed ninjas can allow them to carry out mercenary assassination missions for free. This money is what they owe us."

Nine genin and one leading jounin.

If these ten rain ninjas risk their lives to perform the mission for free.

It must only take a year or two.

This debt can be repaid.

"Then do what you want!" Nagato said: "Half a month ago, didn't Kakuzu kill two A-level rebel ninjas from Iwa Ninja Village? I remember that he got a lot of money at that time. For the bounty, you can ask him for the 9 million taels."

"Understood." Xiaonan nodded, but when she was about to turn around and leave, she paused and looked back at them: "I have a question, who will bring the money?"

She meant taking it to Konoha.

"Well... go ahead!" Nagato thought for a while: "That guy Orochimaru has failed more than he has accomplished. I already want to kick him out of the Akatsuki organization. Uchiha Itachi, who just joined, is having a fight with Loquat Ten. Zang is carrying out a mission, Scorpion claims to be in seclusion and tinkering with a puppet specially designed to deal with Whitebeard, so let’s try not to disturb him during this period of time, and Kakuzu, this guy, has gone to who knows where, and he may be hunting down another prisoner with a bounty on his head.”

"That guy 'Uchiha Madara' has always been there. Although the newcomer named A Fei is very good, his personality is too out-of-the-box and not stable enough. I'm worried that he will be defrauded of information. I don't know about the other non-staff newcomers. Trust them too much.”

Nagato paused and continued: "Currently, among the few free people in the organization, you are the most suitable one."

"Okay!" Xiaonan had no objection.

Although she is a core member of the Akatsuki organization, in the past in Konoha, she only had to change into the uniform and forehead protector of the Rain Ninja Village.

The general dress in Yu Ninja Village is basically to hide one's face.

In addition, few people in the entire ninja world knew who she was.

Xiaonan took over this task.

"Konan, be careful." Nagato suddenly reminded: "If you accidentally meet Danzo Shimura in Konoha, you must hold back the hatred that surges in your heart."

"One day... we will make him feel the pain!"

Xiaonan paused again. It seemed that the name of Konoha Pot King made her feel a little stirred.

After all, Yahiko's death was the fault of Shimura Danzo and Sansho Hanzo, two veterans of the ninja world who teamed up to do it.

Xiao Nan slowly took a deep breath to calm down her emotions.

"I know, I will take care of the overall situation."

Her figure gradually disappeared.

…

Time, a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Among the group of genin from each village who were captured by the Whitebeard Pirates, a group of genin belonging to Konoha Village have been ransomed by Konoha.

It was Kakashi who came with 64 million taels to redeem the man.

There was no way, Kakashi was one of the few ninjas in Konoha who dared to approach the temporary base of the Whitebeard Pirates.

In the village, there were some rumors about the Third Hokage, but the "rumors" were not dispelled because of the explicit prohibition.

On the contrary, it was because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's tough tactics that people felt that all the conspiracy theories were confirmed.

after all.

In the eyes of most people, if the conspiracy theories they discussed were not true, why would the Third Hokage be in such a hurry?

It must be because they made a mistake and guessed it right!

This resulted in various conspiracy theories not only not being suppressed.

On the contrary, it is still spreading secretly.

There are also many people who believe deeply in conspiracy theories.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to save his image through such a behavior, but he did not expect that his behavior would completely make it impossible to save his image.

Recently, many people always look at him, the Third Hokage, with some colored glasses.

It’s just that no one dared to say it out loud.

As for the Whitebeard Pirates...Naruto, Sasuke, Shiro, and Izumi, the four of them have been practicing hard these days.

Because they have to take the Chunin Exam.

There is only the last week left before the third round of exams.

Hinata and Karin go to school as usual. Because only the first round of chunin exams was borrowed from the ninja school, now that the first round of secondary exams has ended, the ninja school will naturally continue to operate.

And during these days... Whitebeard has not rested, he is training his children.

Kisame, Shisui, and Fengshi are Whitebeard's special training targets.

"Idiot daughter! The domineering "listening" of "See, Wen, Se," is not for you to listen with your ears! Xiang Ling's "Information, Hear, and Se" is about to awaken. As a mother, you can't lag behind your daughter!"

"Kisame! You too, plug your ears, both of you!"

"Shisui, you are making rapid progress! Gu la la la!"

When training your children.

Whitebeard is the image of sternness.

Because Whitebeard knows that when it comes to making his children stronger, he must not be vague or perfunctory.

Yes, Whitebeard is preparing to completely popularize the Haki of Knowledge and Haki and the Haki of Arms to the entire Whitebeard Pirates.

He wants to make his group of idiot sons and idiot daughters stronger.

Let them all be independent!

What Whitebeard first taught was seeing, hearing, and color.

now.

Inikigaki Kisame, Uzumaki Fengji, and Uchiha Shisui were all blindfolded and their ears were blocked with earplugs.

They couldn't see anything, and they couldn't hear anything.

Whitebeard was holding a wine jar in his left hand. After pouring a few sips of wine into his mouth, he grabbed a large handful of gravel with his other hand.

"Gla la la la!" Whitebeard grinned: "If you haven't started learning Haki within a month, then your Haki awakening training volume will be doubled!"

As soon as Whitebeard finished speaking, he threw a large handful of gravel in his hand forward.

Whoosh whoosh——

A large amount of gravel burst out of the air, disrupting the airflow ahead.

The three people had their sight and hearing blocked.

I can't even feel the flow of air.

I can only entrust everything to my own mysterious and profound intuition.

Shisui was the calmest of the three.

He had already learned the knowledge and skills from his father for a while, and Shisui's knowledge and skills were about to cross the threshold of domineering.

Even if you can't see anything, hear nothing, or feel nothing.

But Shisui was still calmly dodging pieces of gravel.

It was as if a third eye was watching the incoming gravel.

Fengshi and Kisame are the two most miserable people.

Fortunately for Kisame, he is very strong and can avoid part of the rubble just by relying on his intuition of danger. In addition, his physique is very special, so even if Kisame is hit by gravel, it won't be a big deal.

Although Feng's Uzumaki clan's physique is also very special, her speciality is shown in her resilience and chakra amount.

rather than the body's defense.

Bang bang bang - one stone after another hit her body, Uzumaki Feng's whole body was covered with scars, but her expression showed a bit of stubbornness and persistence.

…

at the same time.

Konoha gate.

"Haha, I haven't been back for a long time!" A sinister voice came from a pale-skinned woman.

Her pair of golden vertical pupils were particularly eye-catching: "Sarutobi-sensei, the last time you showed mercy and allowed me to escape from Konoha is still vivid in my mind! Haha!"

In order to bring Kimimaro back smoothly...

Orochimaru came in person.

Because there are not many people available in the Sound Ninja Village at this stage. It happened that Orochimaru came to the Land of Fire to complete a ninja mission in order to raise ransom, and happened to be able to drop by the Leaf Village.

Orochimaru just stood in front of the gate of Konoha openly.

He didn't think he would be recognized.

Because this is a new body, a woman's body.

"These two things are really cumbersome."

Orochimaru frowned and looked down. From his perspective, he couldn't see the tips of his toes.

For some reason, Tsunade's appearance popped into Orochimaru's mind.

His own seemed smaller than Tsunade's.

“Women’s bodies are so troublesome!”

He murmured coldly.
