Of course, Hoshita Shuichi knew that what Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nara Shikaku were thinking was correct.
He also heard the hidden opposition in Sarutobi Hiruzen.
As for Nara Shikaku, this is just pure analysis and there is no bias.
Unification is indeed an extremely difficult task.
After all, the ninja village has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are interests involved, which cannot be solved by a few words.
Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, but as soon as he died, the nobles of the six kingdoms rebelled. This is evident from this.
It was not until the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty that the great ideological unification was achieved.
The problem that Nara Shikaku and Sarutobi Hiruzen were worried about before was actually mentioned by Namikaze Minato before.
Peaceful reunification is absolutely impossible.
What is involved here is naked interests.
"This is indeed a difficult problem. If there were no threat from the Moon Eye, we could just attack each ninja village one by one and kill them if they don't obey."
Hoshita Shuichi said: "And now we must consider not letting Uchiha Madara take advantage."
Nara Shikaku said: "Perhaps we can first use the Moon Eye Project to form a ninja alliance, and then unify the country based on the ninja alliance after we get rid of Uchiha Madara."
"By that time, as a hero, you will have a strong appeal and there should be less resistance."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and nodded: "It is indeed a way."
"But in fact, Nagato also has the same goal as me."
"Of course, his original intention was to capture the Ten-Tails and use it as a weapon to sweep across the ninja world."
"He and I have a bet. Whoever wins will have to surrender."
"We can actually be said to be competitors and collaborators with Nagato now."
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nara Shikaku were both shocked when they heard this, as they had never known this information before.
Nara Shikaku's brain was quick, and he immediately realized what Hoshita Shuichi was planning: "Shuichi, are you going to use the power of the Akatsuki organization to weaken other ninja villages, and use their threats to nibble away at other ninja villages bit by bit?"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "I do have this idea."
"And I just received information that the Fourth Mizukage of the Kirigakure may have been controlled by Akatsuki."
What?
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nara Shikaku were horrified.
That's the Kage of a village!
Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "I remember the previous information that the Fourth Mizukage has become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki Is it Obito's Mangekō?"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "This information has not been confirmed by me, but it is very likely. At the same time, only Obito's Mangekyō can do this."
"Because of our relationship, the Kumo ninja has already set its sights on the Amegakure, so the Akatsuki organization will obviously cut ties with the Amegakure on the surface."
Nara Shikaku said: "The Kirigakure is a very good cover."
"Being in the middle of the ocean, we have a closed policy to begin with."
"The Fourth Mizukage is still under control... If we didn't have the intelligence, who would have thought of such a thing?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "Obito's Sharingan, if this matter is revealed in the future..."
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "It won't affect anything. Obito is also controlled by Uchiha Madara."
Whether it is controlled or not, it is controlled.
That's Uchiha Madara, the true owner of the Rinnegan. It makes sense, right?
Unless Uchiha Obito agrees with the Moon Eye Project.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and asked, "So, Shuichi, are you planning to reveal the fact that the Fourth Mizukage is being controlled at the right time?"
Nara Shikaku said: "If we reveal this when Akatsuki is wreaking havoc on the Kirigakure, it is indeed a good time to conquer the Kirigakure when it is leaderless."
Hoshita Shuichi immediately understood Nara Shikaku's subtext.
The Fourth Mizukage must die!
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "Shuichi, you went to the Kirigakure last time. After the Fourth Mizukage, who is most likely to become the next Mizukage?"
Old ginger is still spicy.
Nara Shikaku considered the Fourth Mizukage, while Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of the next generation candidate.
Of course, Hoshita Shuichi felt that Nara Shikaku had a high EQ, so he didn't say everything.
"The Fifth Mizukage's words..."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "The most likely ones should be me and Mei Terumi who is about the same age."
"She possesses two bloodline limits, and I have left the Flying Thunder God Mark on her."
Nara Shikaku heard this and said, "Is she a female ninja?"
"If they are about the same age, perhaps we can reduce the difficulty through marriage."
Hoshita Shuichi looked at Nara Shikaku and felt that he was slandering him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "It is indeed a good suggestion."
"As for the Sunagakure, if the Fourth Kazekage...Yakura would also be a good candidate."
After hearing this, Hoshita Shuichi silently mourned for the Fourth Kazekage.
…
The Kumogakure Envoy left the next day.
Hoshita Shuichi originally wondered whether the Kumo ninja would be bold enough to try to seize the Byakugan again so that he could have some fun, but unfortunately the situation was no longer the same.
After the Kumo ninja left, Hoshita Shuichi used Flying Thunder God to leave Konoha and came to the outside of the Amegakure.
After sensing silently for a moment, the figure disappeared again.
In the Amegakure, in the office building belonging to the village leader, in the secretary's office, Hoshita Shuichi suddenly appeared.
konan, who was working with his head down, immediately looked up and looked coldly at Hoshita Shuichi: "There's no need to always appear in this way, right?"
Hoshita Shuichi glanced at the room where Hanzo was, then looked at konan with appreciation: "It's safer this way."
konan looked at Hoshita Shuichi's clear and undisguised admiration, but she couldn't hate him in her heart, so she could only pretend to be cold and asked: "When will your people be in place?"
Hoshita Shuichi said: "Next month!"
"Konan, go to the Land of Hot Springs, and you'll see him then."
Konan nodded, then ignored Hoshita Shuichi and lowered his head to continue processing documents.
Hoshita Shuichi didn't leave either. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Konan who was working seriously.
I have to say, women who are serious are also very attractive.
"Konan, I suggest you find a few more secretaries to help with matters."
Hoshita Shuichi said: "As a ninja, strength is the foundation."
"As a person in a high position, controlling people is the most important thing, not doing things."
"Only by knowing how to use people and making the best use of their talents can a village be governed efficiently."
Konan said without even looking up: "I have an avatar practicing."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "The clone can indeed accumulate experience, but some things still require the original body."
"For example, physical training is the foundation of a ninja. Even if you are an adult, you cannot relax."
"Otherwise, your body will become rusty, and being a little slow in battle could be fatal."
konan looked up at Hoshita Shuichi and said, "I am not lacking in practical experience."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Your paper secret technique is very interesting."
"It has some Wood Release properties."
"Have you ever thought about transitioning to a nature change?"
Konan's paper secret technique is not a bloodline limit, nor is it even a certain type of change in properties, but rather the use of ninja tools.
Like Gaara's sand secret technique, it is a way to manipulate ninja tools.There are many similar ninjutsu in the Sunagakure, which actually have the same origin as the Puppet Master.
Of course, there are very few people who can achieve the level of Konan and Gaara.
Especially Konan's Shikigami Dance, which is almost as good as Shukaku's Sand Body.
Gaara simply covered his body with sand, forming a layer of sand armor.
But konan obviously hasn't reached that level yet.
Listening to what Hoshita Shuichi said, konan looked up at Hoshita Shuichi and said, "Wood Style... requires the fusion of the nature changes of Water Release and Earth Release to master it."
"This is not something that everyone can do."
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "That's true."
"Then replace the paper you are controlling with a detonating talisman!"
"Once the paper clone is developed, the effect should be good."
"You should know the One-Tailed Shukaku, right? His sand body can turn his body into sand, so Shukaku is known as the strongest defense."
"There is also the water transformation technique of the Kirigakure's Hozuki Clan. The body turns into water and becomes immune to physical attacks."
konan stopped working and thought about something.
She had already thought of the detonating talisman, and the paper clone was also under development, but she had not yet thought of the direction of sand body and hydration.
After thinking for a moment, konan looked at Hoshita Shuichi and asked: "Although we are cooperating, we are also enemies at the same time. It won't be good for you if I become stronger, right?"
Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "This is my confidence and magnanimity."
"I am confident that I can defeat Nagato. From now on, you will be my subordinate."
"It is still very necessary to make some investment in advance."
"I am very optimistic that you will assist me in managing the ninja world in the future."
In Hanzo's room next door, the Animal Path opened his eyes.
This guy was too arrogant to poach people right in front of him.
But after thinking about it, Animal Path Hanzo closed his eyes.
No matter what, konan's improvement is beneficial.
…
Looking at the confident Hoshita Shuichi, Konan couldn't help but think of Yahiko. Yahiko was like this back then, too. He believed he could do it, but...
Lowering his head, konan said calmly: "It's too early to say this now. Don't die on the way."
Hoshita Shuichi stepped forward, came to konan's desk, sat on the edge, looked at konan and said: "Then let's talk about ninjutsu!"
"If the world is at peace, what I would love most is still to study ninjutsu and explore longevity."
"The paper secret technique is quite interesting. Have you developed a paper clone?"
konan didn't look up: "No."
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "The progress is too slow."
"Give me some of your paper."
konan couldn't help but look up: "What do you want to do?"
Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "It seems that you don't have enough information about me!"
"I am now the head of the Konoha Root Special Training Department. This means that now and in the future, all members of the Konoha Anbu will undergo my special training."
"You don't think I got to this position because of my status as the Fourth Hokage's disciple, do you?"
"I am proficient in all five conventional escape techniques, Yang release, Yin Release, and seven types of nature changes. As far as I know, Nagato only has six, right?"
konan said: "My secret technique is not within the seven nature changes."
Even so, pieces of white paper still flew up.
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and reached out to take it. He looked at it carefully and said, "It's a special paper that is waterproof and mixed with the materials used to make chakra test papers. Not bad."
Paper clone?
Is that difficult?
Hoshita Shuichi injected chakra into the white paper, and then the white paper flew up, and under Konan's slightly shocked gaze, it combined into Hoshita Shuichi in the air.
Paper clone technique!
For Hoshita Shuichi, who has obtained the [Clone Master] talent and can clone anything, paper clone is not difficult.
After all, he had already developed the crow clone technique.
Crash.
The paper clones dispersed, and the white paper fell in front of konan. Hoshita Shuichi said: "Paper clones should not be difficult for you."
"Compared to the ordinary clone technique and shadow clone technique, you only need to add a little bit of transformation thinking into it."
"Give it a try."
Konan looked at Hoshita Shuichi with confusion in his heart.
Is this guy mentally ill?
Or is it really just that I'm in love with myself?
konan suppressed the doubts in her heart, thought for a moment, then picked up the white paper on the table. After a moment, the white paper flew up and pieced together her upper body in the air.
Hoshita Shuichi looked at him and nodded and smiled: "Not bad, the next step is training."
"You are more skilled at manipulating paper than I am. It shouldn't take long for you to become proficient at it."
"Then the next step is to develop secret techniques like the Water Transformation Technique and One-Tail's Sand Body."
"This is a little bit difficult…"
As he spoke, Hoshita Shuichi lowered his eyes under Konan's gaze.
"This guy... is he really planning to develop it in such a short time?"
konan's face was calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
If he really did it, such talent would be too terrifying, even Nagato is not as good as him.
At this moment, the beast in the next room opened his eyes again, wondering, "Did he master this technique before?"
"No...it doesn't seem necessary."
"But at this age, he can master all escape techniques, and even surpass the Fourth Raikage in Lightning Release techniques. His talent is indeed amazing."
…
Time passed little by little, and soon an hour was gone.
konan looked at Hoshita Shuichi who was almost within reach and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It shouldn't be possible to do it in such a short time.
However, just as she was about to lower her head to continue working, the rustling sound of flipping papers suddenly rang in her ears.
konan suddenly looked up and his pupils shrank sharply.
Because Hoshita Shuichi's body was turning into paper, peeling off from his surface bit by bit, one by one.
Suddenly, with a bang, Hoshita Shuichi exploded, and turned into countless white papers flying all over the room.
"this..."
konan couldn't help but stand up and stared in amazement at the white papers flying all over the room.
After a moment, pieces of white paper gathered together and turned into Hoshita Shuichi again. He sat on konan's desk again and said with a smile: "It is indeed a bit difficult."
konan was really shocked. She looked at Hoshita Shuichi with her mouth slightly opened: "You...how did you do it?"
Of course it was cheating!
If Hoshita Shuichi hadn't first mastered the sand body and then analyzed and mastered the water transformation technique, and if the paper secret technique didn't involve changes in properties and the principle wasn't complicated, he wouldn't have been able to do it in such a short time.
This is what it means to master one method and master all methods!
But of course he couldn't tell konan about this. Hoshita Shuichi just stretched out his right palm to konan: "Want to learn?"
"I'll teach you!"
