Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage's office.
Onoki's face was solemn: "The Third Mizukage is dead, and now even that troublemaker from Kumogakure has been defeated!"
Troublemaker was the nickname he gave to the Fourth Raikage.
The Third Mizukage is fine, he is older than him.
But the Fourth Raikage is in his prime.
Even he felt the pressure at this moment.
Kitsuchi said at this time: "This Hoshita Shuichi is indeed a bit abnormal. At this age, he has reached this stage. People are already saying that he and that instant body Shisui are like the ninja god Senju Hashirama and the ninja world Shura Uchiha Madara of the past."
Onoki snorted after hearing this: "The God of Ninja?"
"It's not that easy. Don't underestimate the power of the Ninja God!"
Although he felt the pressure, he did not think that the current Hoshita Shuichi could be compared with Senju Hashirama .
Looking up at his son, Onoki asked, "What do you think of the new Four-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Kitsuchi shook his head: "After returning from Konoha, the Four-Tails has been a little different. Its attitude towards us has become much better, but it is also very picky about the selection of Jinchūriki."
Speaking of this, Ōnoki also has a headache.
This is the first time I have encountered such a strange thing in my life.
But this was related to the perfect Jinchūriki, and Ōnoki could only bear it and let the Four-Tails choose.
After hesitating for a moment, Onoki suddenly said, "Let Kurotsuchi try!"
Kitsuchi's expression changed, and after a moment of silence he nodded: "I understand!"
Other people can be sacrificed, and his daughter can naturally be sacrificed as well.
…
After being busy in Daimyo Prefecture for three full days, Hoshita Shuichi finally managed to get away.
The site selection for the secret training base has been completed and the selection plan has also been completed.
The subsequent construction of the base and the selection of the first batch of students will naturally be handed over to Pakura and his team.
Konohagakure, experimental base.
Hoshita Shuichi, who was observing the little white mouse, suddenly turned his head and asked, "Any important information?"
White Zetsu Afei emerged from underground and said with a smile: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Shuichi-sama!"
"It's Konan from the Akatsuki organization who wants to see you. It should be about planting a spy."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled when he heard this: "It seems that Akatsuki is in urgent need of expanding its manpower."
White Zetsu Afei smiled and said, "The test of the Kumogakure forced the Akatsuki Organization to use the Kirigakure as another base, and the Iwagakure began to use the Akatsuki Organization, and the business is very good!"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded and thought: "The Iwagakure should also know about the existence of the Rinnegan, right?"
"Using the Akatsuki organization, they might also be using the power of the Rinnegan to deal with me, right?"
White Zetsu Afei smiled and said, "It is indeed possible. After all, Shuichi-sama, your reputation is too loud now. But it is normal for the Third Tsuchikage to feel pressured to be on par with the former Ninja God, Senju Hashirama ."
"Speaking of which, Shuichi-sama, can you guess who the new Four-Tails Jinchuriki is?"
Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he heard this: "Has the new Jinchūriki been selected?"
"It seems that this person is a little special..."
He thought for a moment and said, "The granddaughter of the Third Tsuchikage?"
White Zetsu Afei opened his eyes wide and praised: "You are worthy of being Shuichi-sama. You can even guess this!"
Hoshita Shuichi was already used to this guy's flattery and said, "It's really her!"
White Zetsu Afei nodded: "It's the two-year-old girl, I think her name is Kurotsuchi. What a strange name, a woman would actually have such a name."
The future of leg kage!
Tsk!
If this creature is killed by the tailed beast and becomes a puppet of the Six Paths, wouldn't that be such a waste?
It seems that rescue is necessary.
After a while, Hoshita Shuichi asked, "Is there anything else?"
White Zetsu Afei said quickly: "The envoy of the Kumogakure has arrived in Konoha. Perhaps the Fourth Hokage will look for you, Shuichi-sama, in no time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside, and then Nohara Rin, wearing a black robe and a mask, appeared at the door: "Shuichi, the Fourth Hokage is looking for you."
"A Fei, I leave this to you."
After saying that, Hoshita Shuichi turned around and walked out with Nohara Rin .
Glancing at the double-bladed flounder carried by Nohara Rin, Hoshita Shuichi asked, "How's your training going recently?"
Nohara Rin smiled and said, "With your clone and Isofu's guidance, I have basically mastered water jutsu. Also, because of the first generation's cells, my medical ninjutsu has also improved a lot."
"But I have no clue about the Wood Release you mentioned, Shuichi."
Obviously not everyone has the talent of Uchiha Obito.
Moreover, transplanting Hashirama's cells does not necessarily mean that one can obtain Wood Release.
Hoshita Shuichi nodded and asked again: "Where is Obito's Sharingan?"
"Will it be a big burden?"
Nohara Rin was a little depressed, but soon smiled and said, "Because I have the cells of the first generation and the chakra of Isobuki, I don't have any burden or pressure. It's just that it's a little difficult to use the Mangekyo eye technique flexibly."
Hoshita Shuichi heard this and smiled: "Practice slowly. With the primary cells, you don't have to worry about your eyesight being affected by excessive use of pupil techniques."
Nohara Rin nodded heavily: "Yes, I will try my best!"
She also wanted to stand with Kakashi and rescue Obito!
…
After leaving the experimental base, Hoshita Shuichi and Nohara Rin separated and used Flying Thunder God directly to the Hokage Building, knocked on the door and entered the Hokage's office.
Namikaze Minato was not working, but standing in front of the window with lightning flashing on his hands.
"Hey, is the teacher practicing Lightning Release?"
Hoshita Shuichi asked curiously.
Namikaze Minato dispersed the chakra in his hands and said with a smile: "Even though you have become the Hokage, you can't just stand still and watch your disciples surpass their teacher, right?"
Hoshita Shuichi laughed and said, "I think that as a teacher, the greatest achievement is for the disciple to surpass the teacher."
"But speaking of which, teacher, are you going to integrate Lightning Release into the Rasengan?"
Namikaze Minato nodded: "I have this idea, but lightning can also be used to activate cells and further improve speed and reaction ability."
"The Chidori Instant Body that you taught Kakashi, Shuichi, is very good."
The Lightning Release Chakra mode is not something that can be practiced casually. Although the Chidori Instant Body is a little more difficult, it is actually easier for Namikaze Minato to practice.
After chatting for a while, Namikaze Minato got down to business: "The Kumogakure wants us to share the information about the Akatsuki Organization and the Rinnegan with them, what do you think, Shuichi?"
Hoshita Shuichi thought for a moment and said, "The information about the Rinnegan can be shared, but the ability of Obito's Sharingan and the information obtained from White Zetsu cannot be shared."
Namikaze Minato nodded. He thought so too. Then he added: "The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage have a close relationship. Whether for the sake of the village or personal feelings, after confirming the information, they will deal with the Akatsuki organization. This is a good thing for us, so it is necessary to share some information."
"Then, Shuichi, you will take my place at the meeting with Kumogakure this afternoon!"
Hoshita Shuichi was helpless: "As expected, you are here to find trouble."
Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "Shuichi, you should relax once in a while. You don't have to practice and study all the time!"
Hoshita Shuichi almost rolled his eyes when he heard this.
…
After lunch, in the meeting room of the Hokage Building.
The Kumo ninja was led by Dodai, and among the others, Hoshita Shuichi recognized two.
The future Fifth Raikage Darui, and the perceptive ninja Nozomi who looks a bit like his teacher.
On the Konoha side, in addition to Hoshita Shuichi, there are also Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nara Shikaku .
Nara Shikaku has been appointed by Namikaze Minato as the squad leader of the Jonin squad and the head of the Hokage's secretaries. He can be said to be the Hokage's right-hand man.
But at this moment, the focus is on Hoshita Shuichi.
After signing the armistice agreement, Dodai couldn't wait to ask, "Sir Shuichi, I wonder if the Fourth Hokage has considered sharing intelligence?"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled gently and said, "Of course, the Rinnegan is our common enemy, so there is no problem in sharing intelligence."
"However, I must remind you that if the Kumogakure intends to deal with the Akatsuki organization alone, they must be extremely careful and be prepared for heavy losses."
A middle-aged Kumo ninja next to Dodai asked, "Does your Excellency mean to form an alliance to fight against the Akatsuki organization together?"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded and said with a smile: "Of course."
"The power of the Rinnegan is extremely strong. At least with my current strength, I can only be on par with the holder of the Rinnegan. There is no way I can defeat him."
"If we form an alliance, we can concentrate our strength and reduce casualties."
"Of course, there must be a distinction between primary and secondary."
Dodai's heart sank when he heard this: "As expected, they want to gain a dominant position."
He quickly said: "We share intelligence, which is actually equivalent to forming an alliance."
"As for concentrating our strength, that's great, but if teams don't know each other well, I'm afraid they won't be able to exert their full strength when working together."
"And at this stage, we think that we should focus on obtaining intelligence. Once we have the intelligence, we can work together and go all out to destroy the Akatsuki organization."
Hoshita Shuichi was not surprised by this statement, and immediately followed suit: "That makes sense."
After that, he turned to Nara Shikaku and said, "Senior Shikaku, please tell me about the Rinnegan!"
Nara Shikaku nodded and began to introduce the information about the Rinnegan.
There are actually only four points.
Repulsion can deflect all attacks, including physical attacks and ninjutsu attacks.
The suction force can suck people in.
Absorbing ninjutsu.
And finally, the powerful sealing power, Chibaku Tensei.
After hearing this, Dodai and other Kumo ninjas were all shocked and looked solemn.
C couldn't help but say: "With such power, it's no wonder that it's so difficult to defeat. Ordinary ninjas don't have much power to resist such an existence, right?"
"Although the spell has a cooldown period, it is very difficult to seize that short period of time."
Darui nodded and sighed, "Yes, it is worthy of being the eyes of the legendary Sage of the Six Paths."
"To deal with such people, we must use a large number of elite troops to besiege them, and only then will we have a chance to find their flaws."
"But there will definitely be heavy casualties."
Obviously, Hoshita Shuichi did not lie before.
At this time, many Kumo Ninjas heard Hoshita Shuichi add: "This is only the ability of the Rinnegan that we already know. According to my observation, this should not be all."
"That's why I warned the tailed beasts, and why I didn't take the tailed beasts, and even returned the One-Tail and the Four-Tail to the Sunagakure and the Iwagakure Village."
"If the five great ninja villages continue to fight, it will only allow the Akatsuki organization to grow stronger in secret, and then take away the tailed beasts while we are weak."
"You should have heard about the Ten-Tails from the Eight-Tails."
"In fact, I have seen the container of the Ten-Tails. It is a monster called the Outer Path Demon Statue."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Since it is the container of the Ten-Tails, I'm afraid it will have a certain restraint on the tailed beasts."
"So when dealing with the holder of the Rinnegan, it is best not to send out the Jinchūriki to fight."
After hearing this, Dodai nodded immediately and said solemnly: "Thank you for the reminder, Third Hokage."
"In fact, we had already sent people to the Amegakure to investigate before we came here, but we have lost all the news about the people who went there."
"Could it be that the Amegakure has now been controlled by the Akatsuki organization?"
Nara Shikaku glanced at Hoshita Shuichi secretly, and then replied: "According to our intelligence, no."
"Hanzo, the leader of the Amegakure, is still here."
"There was a conflict between Akatsuki and Hanzo before. One of the leaders of Akatsuki died in the conflict. It seems that some of the former Akatsuki members were absorbed by Hanzo."
There is no doubt that this is half-true and half-false information.
But Dodai believed it completely: "I see, so the Akatsuki organization we knew before has split up."
"Is it possible that the holder of the Rinnegan is controlled by Hanzo?"
The reason why he suspected Hanzo was because he had the title of demigod.
Moreover, during the Second Ninja World War, he single-handedly defeated the three major ninja villages of Iwagakure, Konoha, and Sunagakure.
Hanzo is undoubtedly an ambitious person.
Given the situation in the Rain Country, it seems natural that Hanzo would become the developer of the Moon Eye Project.
Hoshita Shuichi didn't expect Dodai to be so imaginative, so he said, "There is not enough information to prove this yet."
"The Amegakure is well defended and not easy to invade."
…
The afternoon meeting was successful and harmonious.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nara Shikaku also cooperated with Hoshita Shuichi to carry out strategic deception against the Kumo ninjas.
After the Kumo Ninja left the Hokage building, Nara Shikaku couldn't help but ask, "Shuichi, how did you predict that the Kumo Ninja would not form an alliance with us?"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "Because they must have known that I left the Flying Thunder God Technique mark on the Eight-Tails, and they must have thought that I wanted to control the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki in a peaceful way."
"And considering the character of the Fourth Raikage and the current situation, it is impossible for him to leave the Jinchūriki to us for protection."
"Although we have shared intelligence, human nature is such that we will not learn lessons unless we personally encounter difficulties."
Nara Shikaku nodded, and then thought: "The Rinnegan has the ability to destroy the world. If the Kumogakure is destroyed for the sake of the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails, it will also be disadvantageous to us. It is obvious that annexing other ninja villages cannot be completely destroyed, otherwise there will be no great significance."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "If we sit back and watch the other four great ninja villages being destroyed, in the end only Konoha and Nagato Uchiha Madara will be left to fight. Even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses!"
Nara Shikaku nodded in agreement and continued, "And if Kumogakure only loses a part of them and forms an alliance with us, with us as the main force, we will also encounter strong resistance if we want to annex them."
"Especially the existence of Kage, which will gather strength around him."
"Even if the Fourth Raikage dies in battle, a new Fifth Raikage will immediately take over."
"There will still be a big battle then."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in agreement.
The ambition to annex the other four major ninja villages is truly astonishing, and both he and Nara Shikaku feel that this is extremely difficult, or even impossible to do.
On the contrary, it is easier to destroy the other four ninja villages with powerful strength.
