Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide! - Chapter 273
c272 The orthodox of Konoha is in Kirigakure!
No one present had any doubts about what Miroku said.
After all, whether it was the records circulating in the ninja world or the experiments of ninjas from various countries, it was clear that only the power of the miko could cause harm to the monsters, and the power of the ninja was of no use to the monsters.
This was determined by the nature of power. Even if it was the reincarnation of Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama, they had to follow the basic laws of ninjas in front of the monsters.
Although it was strange why the miko, who had a dead look on her face and wanted to use her life to seal the monsters, was standing here intact at this time, and she didn’t seem to be hurt at all.
But this was an irrelevant matter for each ninja village, and the curiosity flashed in their hearts and then dissipated.
At this moment, they were all eager to leave here and return to their country to use the secret techniques and compensation obtained in the Third Ninja World War to carry out domestic construction.
So after confirming that the ghost had been dealt with, Ohnoki, Luosha and others said goodbye and hurriedly set out on the journey back.
“Water Country…”
Miroku stood in front of the empty ghost temple, recalling the scene just now, in a daze.
The ghost was sealed by the god of death instead of the miko, which means that the heavy responsibility that has been weighing on the miko for thousands of years has been cleared.
In the days to come, his daughter can enjoy a leisurely daily life like a normal miko…
“However, the foundation of all this is in the water country, in the ghost lamp Xinyue… If he has any accidents, maybe the ghost, which has been hanging over the miko for thousands of years, may come again.”
Thinking that his young daughter might follow his old path, Miroku made up his mind and made a decision directly.
“Since I’m ready to sacrifice myself to seal the demon, why not just leave the Land of Demons and go to Kirigakure to help that person?”
In order to protect his daughter and let her live a normal life, Miroku looked deeply at the northwest of the continent, then resolutely turned around and set out on the road to the east.
——
Three days later, Kirigakure, Mizukage’s office.
“You said you want to join Kirigakure?”
Kizuki, who had returned to Kirigakure, looked at Uchiha Mikoto standing in front of her, and a strange expression appeared on her face.
Although Uchiha Fugaku was not killed by her own hands, it was also because of her own reasons that he was eventually killed by Shimura Danzo.
So in a sense, there was also a “husband-killing grudge” between her and the beautiful woman in front of her.
Regardless of how the Uchiha clan thought of joining the Hidden Mist Village, just to let Uchiha Mikoto, a beautiful woman who had a grudge against Kizuki for killing her husband, be a lobbyist, Kizuki could not even dream of such an operation.
He swore to heaven that although this scene was what he had always dreamed of, all of this today was really not pushed by him behind the scenes.
“No, it can’t be said to be joining, but to establish a military offensive and defensive alliance treaty with the Hidden Mist Village…”
Uchiha Mikoto was obviously very uncomfortable with her identity. Although she had tried her best to show her politeness, she could still see her deep hatred for Kizuki from her eyebrows.
To be honest, after the Uchiha clan became independent, the days were not as good as imagined.
Since the Uchiha clan became independent from Konoha, they moved to their clan land in the Warring States Period and established a ninja village that belonged exclusively to the Uchiha clan.
Facing the Uchiha clan, which had finally gotten rid of Konoha’s suppression and had its own vast world, everyone was deeply happy.
But soon, this joy dissipated.
Because they found that outside the Uchiha ninja village, some suspicious-looking ninjas often appeared.
Although these people were quickly arrested and the identities of the ninja villages behind them were found out under the power of the Sharingan, the number of unidentified ninjas nearby was increasing day by day.
The Uchiha clan suddenly realized:
The times are different.
This is no longer the time when the Warring States period ended and the ninja villages just ended.
After decades of development, the ninja world has basically formed a new situation led by the five major ninja villages and the development of various small and medium-sized ninja villages. Even if the strength of the independent Uchiha ninja village can be called the first among the five major ninja villages, what can it do under this international situation?
Even the Uzushio Village would have been destroyed more than a decade ago if it weren’t for Kizuna Shingetsu.
The allure of the Uchiha Clan’s Sharingan is no less than the Uzumaki Clan’s sealing technique inheritance, and in a sense, it is even better.
Especially now that the international environment is very different from more than a decade ago, the existence of the Hidden Mist Village has forced all ninja villages to try their best to find ways to strengthen their own strength. At this time, the independent Uchiha Clan is the best panacea for them to improve their strength, right?
There is no strong support from outside, the population is sparse inside, and because of the organ bloodline, there is also great practical value.
Therefore, the three ninja villages of Kumogakure, Sand Village, and Rock Village did not need to be reminded by others, and they tacitly blocked and surrounded the periphery of the Uchiha Ninja Village.
The Uchiha clan is now gradually realizing among the increasing number of hostile ninjas around them that they and Konoha are mutually complementary!
Today’s ninjas have lost the soil of a clan’s independence.
Konoha provides them with a habitat, and they contribute to Konoha’s hegemony. This is a mutually beneficial thing in itself, but it is because of the operation of two generations of Hokage in Konoha, plus some changes, that they and Konoha are getting further and further away from each other, so that they parted ways.
After losing several clansmen in succession, the Uchiha clan finally recognized the situation and had to start thinking about the development of the Uchiha clan in the post-Konoha era.
But the first thing to be clear is that they will definitely not go back to Konoha.
Whether from the perspective of face or the discrimination they have experienced over the years, they can’t go back to Konoha, the place where they have been bullied for so many years. Especially under the current background, they can’t afford to lose that person, so the option of Konoha is passed first.
The second is the Hidden Rock Village. The grudge between Ohnoki and Uchiha Madara is known to the ninja world, and the Uchiha clan will naturally not make trouble for themselves.
Moreover, the collectivism of the Hidden Rock Village is prevalent, and it advocates a ruthless execution machine, which is simply a torture for the emotional Uchiha clan.
In addition, the prevalence of collectivism has also led to a serious situation of seniority in the Hidden Rock Village. This is the case for their own people. For them, the outsiders who joined halfway, don’t even think about it, and there will definitely be a lot of exclusion.
The Hidden Cloud Village is dominated by the Night Moon Clan, and according to the patriarchal style of the Raikage line, the Uchiha clan must obey the Fourth Raikage when they join the Hidden Cloud Village, which is undoubtedly something the Uchiha clan does not want to face.
They don’t even want to go back to Konoha, so how could they enter a more miserable situation than Konoha?
Then the only ones left are Sand Village and Mist Village.
In fact, for the Uchiha clan, Sand Village is indeed an extremely ideal choice.
The geographical environment of Sand Village determines that the fire escape that the Uchiha clan is good at can be fully utilized, and there is no strong ninja clan in Sand Village. At this time, its strength is also ranked at the bottom among the five major ninja villages. The joining of the Uchiha clan is a strong alliance for them, and Sand Village should warmly welcome it.
However, this situation is exactly the opposite. Faced with the request of the Uchiha clan to join, Sand Village expressed extreme evasion.
The key reason is that the strength of Sand Village at this time is too weak.
After the death of the Third Kazekage, the Red Sand Scorpion defected, and the only masters who could be shown on the surface were Chiyo Ebizo, Rasa and Ye Cang.
And what about the Uchiha clan?
The Uchiha clan members with three magatama must be jonin. The last dance of Shimura Danzo in front of Konoha Village also let the world see the power of the Mangekyō again. It coincided with the Third Ninja World War when Uchiha Shisui’s name “Instant Body Shisui” resounded throughout the ninja world…
This situation really made the high-level officials of Sand Village worry. After introducing the Uchiha clan to Sand Village, would they be usurped and the story of Kizuki Shingetsu in the Land of Water would be repeated?
So under this worry, the Uchiha clan could only look to the last choice, Kirigakure.
If we remove the prejudice against Kizuki Shingetsu, objectively speaking, Kirigakure is not necessarily a bad choice for the current Uchiha clan.
With the Uzumaki clan, a typical example of a thousand-dollar horse bone, in front, the Uchiha clan also has an intuitive understanding of their future treatment.
Then after the end of the Third Ninja World War, the number of bloodline ninjas in the Kirigakure Village was the highest in the ninja world. There were a lot of ninja clans, big and small, and there was no risk of usurping the throne.
Moreover, the standard of paying contribution points according to work was implemented, and it was very friendly to the Uchiha clan, whose individual strength was extremely strong.
Hozuki Shingetsu himself had never heard of any news of arbitrary behavior (because it could not be spread at all)…
With all the above, Uchiha Yashiro, the current head of the Uchiha clan, finally made up his mind.
After inquiring about the rumors about Hozuki Shingetsu in the ninja world, he didn’t know whether it was to show his “sincerity” or to show that the Uchiha clan had given up this hatred, he actually wanted Uchiha Mikoto to represent the Uchiha clan and act as a lobbyist to persuade Hozuki Shingetsu to agree that the Uchiha clan would join the Kirigakure Village.
Uchiha Mikoto was naturally unwilling. After all, Hozuki Shingetsu had a “grudge against her husband” with her. How could she endure such humiliation and go to the Kirigakure Village?
However, when Uchiha Yashiro appealed to her emotions and reason, and even used Uchiha Itachi’s future to persuade her, Uchiha Mikoto finally gave up her insistence and agreed to this matter.
But even so, she did not reveal the decision of the Uchiha clan at the beginning, but prepared to use the excuse of “military alliance” to test Kizuki.
“Military alliance? If it is a military alliance, then forget it. I don’t think the current Uchiha clan is worth an alliance with Kirigakure.”
Kizuki would definitely not sign such an alliance with the Uchiha clan. For him, Schrodinger’s alliance is meaningless at all. Kirigakure, which is destined to be an enemy of the ninja world, does not need allies at all.
However, it is precisely because of Uchiha Mikoto’s words, combined with some of the information he had previously mastered, that he guessed the real purpose of Uchiha Mikoto’s visit.
“Uchiha joins Kirigakure… This matter is worth doing!”
Kizuki couldn’t help getting excited when he thought of the scene of the Uchiha clan joining Kirigakure.
Fake Konoha: Uchiha fled, Senju died, Nine-Tails disappeared, and no strong man anymore;
Real Konoha (Kirigakure): Uchiha and Uzumaki clans are still there, Nine-Tails still exists (obtained from Loulan), Wood Release (cell experiment of Uzumaki White Zetsu), leader is the strongest in the ninja world, and the number of bloodline ninjas is the highest in the ninja world…
This can be said to be the orthodox Konoha in Kirigakure!
“However, if your clan is willing to join my Kirigakure Village, then I am willing to give some ‘bride price’ to show my sincerity.”
In the shocked eyes of Uchiha Mikoto, Kizuki Shingetsu took out a glass tube from under the desk with a smile. A pair of eyes with strange patterns in the pupils were rising and falling in the liquid, watching his wife and enemy in the same room.
“Is this… Fugaku’s eyes?”
With a throbbing, Uchiha Mikoto instantly recognized the source of the eyes.
“How about this Mangekyō Sharingan? As long as you are willing to join my Kirigakure, I will exchange this pair of Sharingan with you, or rather, I will exchange it with Uchiha Itachi, how about it?”
Looking at Uchiha Mikoto who was in a mixture of sadness and joy, Hozuki Shingetsu let out a devilish hum.
A simple Mangekyō is completely meaningless to Hozuki Shingetsu now.
So it is better to return it to the Uchiha clan, so that when Uchiha Itachi grows up and opens the Mangekyō, he may be able to harvest a pair of Eternal Mangekyō, and then get a pair of Samsara eyes again.
Plant a pair of Mangekyō today, and you can harvest a pair of Samsara eyes the next day. Hozuki Shingetsu will not give up on such a profitable thing.
Mangekyō for his own son?
The moment Uchiha Mikoto heard this, he couldn’t sit still, and couldn’t help but step forward to catch the test tube and bring it back to his own son.
However, looking at Uchiha Mikoto’s trembling fingers that were about to touch the glass tube, Kizuna Shingetsu suddenly retracted it and smiled:
“However, if this is designated for Uchiha Itachi, then it will be a different price… You have to pay more, madam.”
Kizuna Shingetsu gently stood up, pulled out a piece of paper from the desk, wrote an address on it and handed it to Uchiha Mikoto:
“Madam, can you sleep with me tonight?”
