Chapter 729 Guidance and Awakening

The messenger from the Four Villages left the room. The skin on the Amegakure ninja's face suddenly cracked, and then turned into pieces of white paper, which began to gather in the form of a vortex, and finally formed the appearance of a woman with short blue hair.

.

It's Xiaonan.

As the administrative center of Amegakure, many secrets are hidden here. It is also the general base of Operation Akatsuki. In order to protect the safety of Amegakure, it will not be open to Amegakure ninjas. Therefore, the Amegakure ninjas who are stationed here to receive external envoys,

It was Xiaonan who used paper clone techniques and paper transformation techniques to create the illusion.

As for this kind of clone technique and transformation technique dispersed by secret techniques, even ordinary sensory ninjutsu cannot distinguish between true and false, and will not be easily seen through.

The figure in the wallpaper stood up from the ground. The figure seemed to be walking on the paper, and then walked out from behind the strong queen, revealing an old man with scars and long light yellow hair.

The metallic luster in Samsara's eyes was emotionless, like a corpse.

"In this way, we can hide it for the time being."

Xiaonan said this.

Tiandao, who transformed Sanshouyu Hanzo's body into a puppet, shook his head.

"No, after finally finding the opportunity, they will not give up. A new envoy will come soon. However, this kind of thing should not happen again."

The old and cold voice came from Tiandao's mouth, and his whole body was filled with a biting chill.

"Hei Jue and Bai Jue have already gone over to make arrangements. I think there will be new harvests soon."

Xiaonan frowned.

"It's too late to involve the Kingdom of Demons at this time." Tiandao paused and continued: "I will deal with the matter with the golem as soon as possible, and then I will go to Kirigakure in person to recover the three-tails and six-tails

.It seems that Chiba Shiraishi has begun to become suspicious, and there may be trouble if we wait any longer."

"Then, the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails in the future..."

"At that time, the troops will be divided into three groups to arrest them together!"

The eyes of Tiandao Samsara were cold, and his tone was as firm as cutting through ice and snow.

There was a look of worry in Xiaonan's eyes, and she wanted to say something, but seeing Tiandao's attitude, she sighed and said nothing.

No matter what, the remaining jinchuriki are all top-notch strongmen in the ninja world, and none of them are simple things.

In particular, the three-tailed and eight-tailed jinchuriki are very rare perfect jinchuriki. And Konoha's nine-tailed jinchuriki seems to have grown beyond expectations.

The only one who is easier to capture is the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki.

However, even the easiest Vulpix to capture is under the heavy protection of Kirigakure and difficult to approach.

"Next, when envoys come over, you arrange to contact them, let the Kingdom of Rain go, and let them search as long as they don't disturb the people. Moreover, as long as they don't have concrete evidence to prove that the tailed beast is in our hands, we won't do it as a last resort.

You won't do anything random. You just need to take advantage of this, Xiaonan."

Tiandao left behind these emotionless words and disappeared into the darkness through the side door.

…

"Penn, the leader of Yugakure, is really a terrifying guy. He almost killed us just with his chakra mixed with murderous intent."

In the stairwell going down, Tenzo and the other four envoys were still frightened, with a look of fear on their faces, and their clothes were wet with cold sweat. The one who spoke was the Iwagakure envoy, shaking his head with a wry smile.

The other three people lowered their heads and remained silent. They thought that the matter was a sure thing, but they didn't expect that they would be 'rejected' by the other party in such a way.

If they had been forced to do so at that time, they would probably not be able to get out of the room, and blood would be splattered on the spot.

"Who is Pain...? It's enough to have such a powerful chakra, but the murderous aura that can only be tempered after hundreds of battles, I have only felt it in the village's Chiyo elders in the past."

The Sunagakure messenger's face was full of surprise and uncertainty.

The aura released by a ninja does not entirely rely on its own chakra. Ninjas who have experienced war will incorporate murderous aura into chakra to create a mental deterrent to the enemy.

But the murderous aura created by Payne was very unusual.

If a ninja hadn't experienced hundreds of battles and climbed out of the dead, he would never have been able to hone that level of murderous intent.

There are only a handful of ninjas who can use murderous intent to this extent in the ninja world today.

And this is also where Tianzang and others are confused.

The only record of Payne's official action was during the Rain Country's Independence War.

And that battle, to be honest, was nothing at all in the face of the Great Ninja War.

"It is indeed a bit suspicious. This murderous aura is magnificent and majestic. It can only be tempered by ninjas who have experienced countless life-and-death bloody battles. It is full of sharp killing aura. And that Payne has very few records of his actions."

Tenzo was thinking.

It's not like he has never seen such a ninja before.

Ruri Uchiha and Ayane Hyuga from the Kingdom of Demons, the Sandaime Hokage and Sannin from Konoha, and many other villages... But looking at the fighting history of these ninjas, developing such murderous intent is not achieved overnight, but through

A lot of fighting and fighting.

Tianzang rubbed his head and couldn't figure out who Pain was.

Could it be that he was an old-timer in the ninja world who lived anonymously in Amegakure in the past?

However, this is unlikely.

If Yugakure had such powerful ninjas besides the dead Sanshouyu Hanzo, it would be impossible for him to remain unknown.

"In short, our plan for this trip is ruined. Let's think about what to do next."

The Iwagakure envoy let out a sigh of relief. Although he had not fully recovered from the shock of the murderous aura, fortunately his body was not weak and his words were full of power.

"If you want to launch a search operation in the Land of Rain, you must first obtain the consent of Yugakure, otherwise there will definitely be a lot of troubles in the future, which will slow down the progress of the investigation. And the leader of Yugakure, Payne... is not like a ninja who is easy to get along with.

.”

No longer worrying about Payne's true identity, for the Sunagakure messenger, finding the whereabouts of Ichibi is the top priority, and other things can be put aside for the time being.

The rest of the people also began to feel heavy.

Yugakure has such a tough leader. If they don't want a large-scale conflict to occur, even their village must act in accordance with the other party's rules in the Country of Rain.

Everyone came to the entrance of the original tower, took the raincoats they had put here before, put them on themselves again, and walked towards the outside of the tower.

The sound of rain fell, and the ninjas from the four villages who followed them all stood outside. Even in the wind and rain, they did not waver at all.

"Let's go back."

Tianzang and others gave orders without saying what the outcome of the negotiation was. After all, they refused after being severely punished. They really didn’t have the face to say it out, so they could only go back home again and let the village leaders use appropriate means to deal with Yugakure.

Expand diplomacy.

The village has shown its attitude to the soft side rather than the hard side.

◎

The windows reflect dazzling sunlight.

Tsunade came to sit on the sofa in the shade of the office. Sitting with him were Nara Shikaku and Hinata Hizashi, who occupied the position of Konoha elder.

After losing the advisory duo, there were only three candidates left for Konoha's high-level meeting, including the Hokage.

Before selecting a new consultant, the three people gathered here are the most important decision-makers.

"Look at this information."

Tsunade opened a scroll in front of the two of them so that Shikaku and Hizu could see it together.

A few minutes passed before the two of them finished scanning the information, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Lord Hokage, I would like to ask, what is this information..."

Shikaku couldn't help but ask.

The things recorded in this intelligence are all spy information placed inside Konoha by the Kingdom of Demons.

There are two jounin, sixteen chunin, twenty-three genin, and several civilians.

Some are detailed and provide detailed evidence chain information, while others are just speculation and have not been confirmed.

But even so, this is extremely valuable information.

Of course, the premise is that the information on this scroll is true and not someone deliberately forged to confuse the public.

"Half an hour ago, someone sent it to me through the ANBU. Now I have sent the ANBU to monitor the people recorded in this intelligence."

Tsunade said this.

Shikamaru nodded. Although the source of the information was somewhat untrustworthy, he might as well give it a try.

However, people on the list cannot be directly interrogated just because of a piece of intelligence from a suspicious source.

The ANBU needs to get hold of the evidence before interrogating, rather than just relying on the one-sided words above.

If this is a trap by the enemy, it will be a bit more gain than loss.

"It's a bit of a coincidence that when we suddenly got some information about that organization, this information came directly to me through the ANBU, as if it was deliberately causing trouble for the Kingdom of Demons. Jiraiya had also given it to me before.

In his reply, he also mentioned that the information about the organization's operations in the Country of Rain was due to an accident, which increased his suspicion of the Country of Rain."
