Chapter 255: Amado's Hatred
"Who are you?" A's brows furrowed deeply, and the muscles all over his body tensed up, his aura firmly locking onto Amado.
"I am but a humble, ordinary scientist," Amado bowed slightly towards A.
"Can a scientist have skills like yours?" A was certainly not convinced by Amado's words. The trusted subordinates guarding this place were no weaklings, yet now they were all lying on the ground, while the other party looked completely at ease.
"It's just a little tranquilizer. They will wake up soon," Amado said, his face, half-hidden by sunglasses, showing no expression.
"This is not the attitude for discussing cooperation," A said in a low voice.
"I had no choice. It would probably be a bit difficult to see you through normal channels," Amado said without changing his expression, placing the briefcase in his hand on the table and then opening it. "Lord Raikage, perhaps you'd like to take a look at my sincerity."
Inside the briefcase, a prosthetic limb made of metal glinted coldly. The black rune marks engraved on it showed the extraordinariness of this prosthesis.
Amado took the prosthetic limb out of the briefcase, handed it to A, and said, "Made of biomimetic metal fused with lightning-attribute chakra metal, directly connected by chakra, with a chakra overclocking device installed inside. At the same time, the fingers can switch to blade mode."
A looked at the prosthetic limb before him, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Would you like to try it, Lord Raikage?" a smile appeared on the corner of Amado's mouth as he said to A.
"Hmph," A took the prosthetic limb handed over by Amado, sized it up for a while, and then asked, "How do I use it?"
For A, who had never lacked a robber's logic, there was no reason to return something that had fallen into his hands.
"Just connect it, and then channel chakra into the connection point," Amado said.
A connected this prosthesis to the stump of his arm, then input his own chakra. After the chakra lines on the metal prosthesis received the energy, the black runes on the prosthesis instantly lit up with a pale blue light.
A tried to control this prosthesis to make a fist and then showed an incredulous expression. He could actually control this prosthesis without any discomfort, as if it were his own arm.
Amado, on the other hand, waited unhurriedly for A to try out his invention. It wasn't until A raised his head again that he continued to speak, "How is it? Is Lord Raikage satisfied with my sincerity?"
"Tell me, how do you want to cooperate with us?" A looked at Amado, seemingly trying to see through the other's thoughts behind his sunglasses.
"I believe Lord Raikage has already seen my technical strength," Amado said with a smile. "This prosthesis is just a semi-finished product that I hastily created. As long as Lord Raikage is willing to give me a little time, I can make it even stronger. Paired with other ninja tools, I believe even Uchiha Douhuan will not be your match."
"Furthermore, as long as there are sufficient resources, my technology is enough to raise the comprehensive strength of your village's ninjas by more than one level," Amado said.
"Then, what do you want to get from the Cloud?" A asked.
"Your esteemed village doesn't need to pay anything," Amado nodded slightly, a strange light flashing on his orange lenses. "I just want to watch your esteemed village destroy Konoha. If Lord Raikage can help me kill Uchiha Douhuan, that would be for the best."
"You have a grudge against that guy?" A asked.
Amado took out a photo. It was a group photo of him with a little girl who looked to be about 6 years old. The little girl in the photo had a brilliant smile, snuggling tightly beside Amado.
"This is?" A asked with some curiosity.
"This is my humble daughter," Amado said.
"Your esteemed daughter looks very cute," A said.
"Yes, her name is Akeibi. To me, she was like an angel," Amado said. "But my angel has left me forever."
Amado's tone was extremely calm. A glanced at Amado, trying to find some emotion in this man's expression, but unfortunately, A failed.
"That's truly regrettable," A said.
"She didn't have to die," Amado said. "I had originally discovered that an ingredient in a unique herb in the Land of Waterfalls could effectively inhibit her condition, but..."
As Amado spoke, veins began to pop on his forehead.
"Damn Konoha, damn Uchiha Douhuan! They created a war in the territory of the Land of Waterfalls! The only place in the ninja world where that kind of herb grew was burnt to ashes in the war, not even a single seed was left!" Amado's voice began to tremble with anger.
And with Amado's intelligence, it was naturally not difficult to see that this Taki-Iwa war, which had lasted for two and a half years, was entirely orchestrated by Konoha from behind the scenes. Therefore, after Akeibi's death, Amado had set his sights on Konoha. And some time ago, A's defeat, as well as the Cloud's predicament during this period, made him feel that he had found an opportunity for revenge.
"I deeply sympathize with your experience," A said.
"Sympathy is not necessary. Right now, I just want to make Konoha and Uchiha Douhuan pay the price," Amado took a deep breath, calmed himself down a little, and then said, "This is consistent with the goals of Lord Raikage and the Cloud Village, isn't it?"
"That's right, this is our common goal. Mr. Amado, the Cloud Village will fully cooperate with your research in the future and do everything possible to provide you with resources," A said in a low voice. "However, before that, please give me a little more time to clear out the internal vermin."
"Understood," Amado had already returned to his unperturbed appearance. "If you need help, Lord Raikage can feel free to ask."
"That won't be necessary," A shook his head. "Mr. Amado has already shown me your sincerity. Our Cloud Village also needs to show our strength to you, Mr. Amado. I believe that before we reach full cooperation, Mr. Amado would also like to see if our Cloud Village has the qualifications to cooperate with you."
Amado nodded upon hearing this. A's meaning was already very clear: the current Cloud Village only intended to cooperate with him on technical matters. As for the internal affairs of the Cloud Village, the other party did not want him to interfere. But what did that matter? As long as he could make Konoha die, Amado didn't care much about other things.
...
As the days passed, the grandiose election for the Fifth Raikage in the Cloud Village also entered its final stage. Under Donald's tireless daily performances and Elon's monetary offensive, Mabui, who was pushed out by A to run for Fifth Raikage, was steadily losing ground.
Of course, more importantly, after the civil officials in the Lightning Capital used this defeat as an excuse to seize a lot of power from the Daimyō, they also began to fully support Donald to become the Fifth Raikage. Mabui's failure seemed to have become a foregone conclusion.
However, facing this situation, A still did not show up. In the Cloud Village, rumors even began to spread that A had died from his serious injuries.
On the Sand Village's side, Temari had officially taken office as the Fifth Kazekage. However, what Chiyo and Ebizō had not expected was that the first thing Temari did after taking office was to liquidate Ishiichi Seigaku and his partisans, and to reopen the investigation into the death of the Fourth Kazekage and the Jinchuriki's loss of control. In just over ten days, Temari, under the pretext of an investigation, took back all the power they had seized while the Sand Village was leaderless after Rasa's death.
Furthermore, what the two elders had completely not expected was that on the second day after Temari took office, Konoha sent Uchiha Shisui as an envoy to congratulate Temari on her inauguration as Fifth Kazekage, and at the same time, signed an agreement for in-depth cooperation between the two villages on behalf of Konoha.
Originally, for the choice of this envoy, with Fugaku and the clan heads of the major ninja clans loyal to Uchiha Douhuan all stationed outside, Kakashi, as Konoha's number two, was a more suitable choice. But considering some historical issues, Uchiha Douhuan had pulled out Shisui, who was leading genin in the village, to be the envoy this time. Anyway, Uchiha Douhuan had already discussed the content of the cooperation with Temari through the communication snake, so Shisui just needed to sign.
After the cooperation was reached, a large number of Konoha's saturated low-level missions flowed to the Sand Village's mission hall. The financial situation of the Sand Village could be said to have been revitalized in an instant, and Temari also used this to completely stabilize the hearts of the people in the Sand Village.
Although Chiyo and Ebizō had expressed dissatisfaction with the cooperation with Konoha, they did not dare to do too much. After all, the ninjas of the Sand Village were on the verge of not being able to afford food before. Now that there was finally some income, if the two old geezers dared to stop it, Temari just needed to give an order, and they really would dare to send these two old geezers to prison to accompany Ishiichi Seigaku and his silicone wife.
And after solving the problem of redundant low-level missions, Konoha's ninja system reform also began to advance slowly.
Two months passed quickly. In these two months, the genin who graduated in the new year also began to enter their new units according to the reform plan.
The mental outlook of Konoha's ninjas also began to gradually transform from mercenaries to a regular army. And during this period, the thing Uchiha Douhuan did most often was to inspect the training of various ninja units, and then emphatically stress and publicize the Will of Fire.
Uchiha Douhuan knew very well that this period was the most critical time for the transformation of the entire Konoha. Everything he had done before might not be as important as the work during this period.
So, Uchiha Douhuan, who had always boldly delegated power in the village and almost never worked overtime, could be said to have been eating and living in the Hokage's office during this period, for fear that some detail might go wrong.
And during these two months, Uchiha Douhuan also began to delegate some of the ninja world's affairs to Sasuke.
For example, the village's spies in the Land of Grass sent back news that some ninjas in the Land of Grass who were dissatisfied with Konoha had gathered together, attempting to use the Box of Ultimate Bliss from Hozuki Castle to gain power to fight against Konoha.
Uchiha Douhuan didn't think much about it and just sent Sasuke and Neji out, and even had them bring Karin along.
After the three arrived at the place, they didn't say much to the rebellious elements of the Land of Grass, but directly broke into the base of their rebel army and started attacking.
After all, according to the law, the three of them were Konoha's heavenly soldiers invited by the official authorities of the Land of Grass to quell the rebellion.
In this battle, Karin, seeing her enemies, had her eyes turn red with hatred. Thinking of the suffering she and her mother had gone through in their childhood, she was extremely ruthless. Since becoming the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails, she had been committed to getting along well with the Three-Tails and had thus never used the Uzumaki clan's methods to extract the Three-Tails' chakra. But in this battle, she temporarily put this idea aside. Neji and Sasuke didn't even have to do much; this girl alone killed more than half of the rebel army.
However, the monster that existed in the Box of Ultimate Bliss did cause some trouble for Sasuke's group. But with the joint cooperation of the three, it was resolved without any danger.
However, how to deal with the Box of Ultimate Bliss after the battle gave the three a headache for a while. Mainly, this thing, although its effect was not small, allowing a Jonin-level ninja to directly reach the combat capability of a Kage, the price was too high. Anyway, if Konoha were to use this thing, neither Uchiha Douhuan nor Sasuke would be willing.
But this thing couldn't be ignored either. After all, this thing could really create troublesome enemies for them. As for Karin's sealing jutsu methods, perhaps because this thing could be related to the Sage of Six Paths, Karin's sealing jutsu had no effect at all.
However, after learning the usage process of this thing, Sasuke thought of a problem they had encountered during the Chunin Exam.
Then, after Karin had finished recharging the Box of Ultimate Bliss with the Three-Tails' chakra, Sasuke directly asked it this question.
A natural number greater than 1, which cannot be divided by any natural number other than 1 and itself, is called a prime number. Please prove that any even number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers.
After the Box of Ultimate Bliss knew the problem, in just thirty seconds, the entire Hozuki Castle was blown into a pile of ruins. If Neji hadn't discovered something was wrong with his Byakugan beforehand and the three had evacuated in advance, they would probably all have been seriously injured.
...
And Naruto, who had begun to travel the ninja world with Gaara, was also taken to Mount Myoboku by Jiraiya, beginning a life of traveling by day and learning sage techniques at night.
After the ninja world was peaceful for a period of time, on the Cloud Village's side, Donald, who had successfully become the Fifth Raikage, just as A had expected, had made a mess of the village.
The "Fast and Strong Act" that he introduced after taking office caused a great uproar throughout the village. Even Jonin Elon, who had spent a lot of real money to support him during his campaign, couldn't help but publicly blast him after seeing this act, saying that he would destroy the foundation of the Cloud.
