"I will take care of Sasuke."

When Weasel walked to the door with the package, Grandma Cat's voice came from behind.

Itachi paused for a moment.

"Thanks."

After taking a deep breath, Weasel left without saying a word and disappeared from Granny Cat's sight.

Grandma Cat looked in the direction that Weasel was leaving and sighed again.

"There is no need to give him a good look at this kind of person, right, Granny Cat?"

The big orange cat appeared next to Granny Cat. Compared with the huge form before, Yu Huo shrunk his size to a size that could be accommodated in the room.

"After all, he has the blood of the Uchiha clan flowing in his body."

"But if he breaks the contract, he is a traitor to the Uchiha clan and an enemy of Lord Ruri."

Yuhuo didn't agree with Granny Cat's statement.

"Don't worry, this is the last time I will help him. From now on Itachi can only rely on his own strength to survive in this cruel world."

"I know, if he comes here again next time, I will kill him directly."

"Itachi is not a simple child. He may be a little lacking in experience, but as a ninja, his ability is extremely outstanding. His current strength may not even be able to deal with you."

Grandma Cat reminded Yu Huo.

"I can use the counter-spiritual technique to summon Master Liuli."

"Liu Li... that is indeed a way. But, do the people in the Kingdom of Demons really not intend to take Sasuke away?"

Grandma Cat frowned and asked.

"Sasuke Uchiha?"

Yu Huo tilted his head.

"Sasuke is left alone in Konoha. He needs the recognition and companionship of his tribe. Although I don't know what secrets are hidden behind the genocide of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke's life in Konoha is definitely not as free as he imagined."

Grandma Cat's cloudy eyes revealed her essence.

"Mother-in-law, please don't worry about this matter. Konoha will not let people go easily now. But when the time comes, Master Ruri will take Uchiha Sasuke away. After all, he is the blood of Uchiha, not Uchiha."

A traitor like Itachi will naturally not let him live outside forever."

"That's good. Although I am old, my eyes are not blind."

"Then I'll leave first. There will be big events in the Kingdom of Ghosts recently. Mother-in-law, please pay attention. This is a good opportunity to sell arms and make a fortune. Don't forget to buy me some fresh dried fish.

"

Yuhuo left these words, wagging his tail, and walked slowly out the door.

The civil war in the Land of Rain is intensifying, and there are many unidentified ninjas raging everywhere in the Land of Rain, making the flames of war likely to get out of control.

At this time, both the major powers involved in the civil war in the Land of Rain and the ninjas of Hidden Rain Village were looking for ways to break the situation.

Konan had been patient and didn't take action. She just sat at the back and commanded. Her ninjutsu was so iconic.

If she takes action, many people will become aware of her identity.

Especially her mentor, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.

At that time, Nagato's Samsara Eye may also be exposed to the eyes of the five major nations and become the target of public criticism.

However, in this way, the war situation of Yugakure will inevitably fall into a certain decline. Fortunately, a large number of arms and weapons were purchased from the Kingdom of Ghosts in advance, and a militia team of tens of thousands of people was mobilized to cooperate with Yugakure Village, which also joined the war.

Ninja, there's no problem in holding on for a while longer.

Just as she and Nagato guessed, the Fire Country and the Earth Country did not want to expand the scale of the war and cause greater turmoil.

Because the Kingdom of Rain is a place of four wars, it is not suitable for garrison at all. At least no big country has expressed the idea of ​​​​occupying the Kingdom of Rain.

As long as this country is chaotic and cowardly, that will be the best outcome for the surrounding big countries.

What they want to destroy is the courage of the Rain Kingdom to resist, rather than destroying this country and encroaching on their territory.

This is not just a war, but also a political game.

It's just that it has now taken on the form of a war.

In early November, the weather became increasingly cold, and Nagato left the Land of Rain for half a month before finally returning from the Land of Ghosts.

"How's it going, Nagato, has Chiba Shiraishi agreed to your terms?"

After Nagato came back, Konan immediately went over to greet him and asked him about the outcome of his secret conversation with the Demon Country.

In a tent in the camp, two people were talking here.

"Overall, it's going well. Chiba Shiraishi agreed to my conditions and will also give the Country of Rain some help to help us win this war."

Nagato said.

There was some fatigue on his face. It was obvious that the negotiations in the Kingdom of Ghosts had not been smooth sailing, but had gone through many twists and turns.

The Kingdom of Ghosts is not a charity. If you want to seek help, you naturally have to show what the other party is interested in and explain what the Kingdom of Ghosts can gain from this war.

Seeing Nagato like this, Konan felt a little distressed, but she also knew that now was not the time to be sentimental, so she could only suppress this emotion.

"What does the Kingdom of Ghosts plan to do?"

"Providing stable logistical support, and subsequently attracting firepower from the Fire Nation in other places to hold back the Fire Nation. The strategic plan will be a bit long, and I will explain it to you in detail later. How is the situation here now?

"

Nagato asked.

"It's a little bit not optimistic, because it lacks sufficient high-end combat effectiveness, and it will appear disadvantageous in a head-on conflict."

Xiaonan tells the truth.

Most of the elites of Amegakure Village were sacrificed on the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War. Now the number of jounin in Amegakure Village is very small, and their strength is a bit flashy.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaonan. Just let me do it next."

Nagato also knows the current difficulties in the Country of Rain. He must take action now and cannot wait any longer.

"You want to take action yourself?"

Konan looked at Nagato in surprise.

In this way, his identity will be exposed.

"Don't worry, I'm just showing part of my strength and won't use the ability of the Rinnegan Eye, so as not to attract the attention of interested people. After all, the opponent has already used ninjas. Now, as the leader of Yugakure, I can't just sit back and watch. Although we are at a disadvantage now, it is necessary

We must also let the big countries know our attitude from time to time, and we will not let them manipulate us."

Having temporarily reached a united front with the Kingdom of Demons, the pressure on Nagato suddenly eased, and there was more room for control in this war.

He also knows that his current identity cannot be exposed to the five major countries.

The Samsara Eye is of great importance. If it shows its face now, it will attract countless assassinations, which is not conducive to the development of the Rain Country.

He must consider it at the national level, not just his own situation.

Just because he is strong alone does not mean that the Kingdom of Rain is equally strong.

The real reason why Chiba Shiraishi is confident and the five major countries dare not move is because the power of the Ghost Country is not simply concentrated on one person. Economic, military, and political factors are all decisive factors.

The Country of Rain is now politically corrupt, the economy is in ruins, and the military is half disabled. If the problem of the Samsara Eye is exposed again, although it can show its prestige for a while, if the big powers blockade the Country of Rain afterwards, it will make it difficult for the Country of Rain to move forward internationally.

"But……"

"I will appear as 'Penn', and I can also try it out to see how powerful the secret skills of Yuyin Village that I have recently practiced are. Those secret skills are enough to cope with the current situation."

Although most of the secret arts of Amegakure Village were robbed by Konoha's roots in the past, some of them were still inherited.

Many of them are secret ninjutsu passed down by Hanzo. These secret techniques are equally powerful and are very suitable for battlefield fighting.

"Okay, then be careful."

Seeing that Nagato had made up his mind, Xiaonan had no choice but to wish him silently.

Only then did she remember that the Ninjutsu of the Nagato Kai was not only related to the Rinnegan, but also being proficient in all properties-changing Ninjutsu was one of Nagato's most powerful advantages.

Being proficient in the escape techniques of the three attributes makes him a top-notch expert among jounin.

However, Nagato is proficient in all attribute escape techniques. Even if he does not use the power of the Samsara Eye, his strength cannot be underestimated.

Insects gnawed at the corpse.

Aburame Ryoma stood silently in the dilapidated village. In front of him, two Agyakure genin who shouted "Penn-sama" before dying were eaten up by the insects he released.

Different from the parasites usually used by the Aburame clan, he can not only use parasites, but also iron-eating insects that are more destructive than parasites.

It is gray-black with no shiny shell. Its shape and size are not much different from those of parasitic insects, but its small mouthparts have a very powerful bite force and can bite through even steel.

Ninjas covered by iron-eating insects will be bitten to death by the insects' powerful mouthparts, and their death will be miserable and terrifying.
