Mixed in the Hokage cultivation road

Chapter 177 Initial Return
The more than one month-long mission of recruiting people outside was finally over, and the six core elders returned with their harvest.

The Ninja Village went out to expand its influence this time, incorporating large, medium and small ninja villages, and reaped great rewards. It has also connected all the small countries into one.

It also provides convenience for the future development and management of the Ninja Village.

In addition, the number of wandering ninjas and black market ninjas recruited is also considerable.

The total number of ninjas in more than a dozen small countries exceeds the thousand mark, which is not bad.

A mosquito leg is still meat, and it is much better than nothing.

The number of ninjas controlled by the Ninja Village has also increased greatly. The number of ninjas under the Ninja Village has exceeded 25,000!
In terms of quantity, they are not inferior to the Five Ninjas' Allied Forces, but their quality is a little worse. Most of them are middle and lower ninjas, and the strong ones above the jonin level only account for a little more than 2%, which is less than three points.

In order to consolidate the results of this effort, Orochimaru also issued orders to all the ninja villages and forces that have joined the Ninja Village.

Let their leaders or shadows, with some of their elite troops, come to the Ninja Village to receive the evidence, escape from the cage, and put up the firewall.

Although the Ninja Village is not worried that they will go back on their word, they must let them know the evidence they need to know.

This will prevent them from succumbing to the strength of the Dark Ninja Village and developing cognitive bias towards the great ideals of the Dark Ninja Village, thinking that this is just an excuse for the Dark Ninja Village to start a war in the ninja world.

This is also to prevent the five major ninja villages and the Six Paths Sage from doing anything behind the scenes.

After all, the Six Paths Sage and the five major ninja villages have distorted the ideals of the Dark Ninja Village. They even once promoted the great will of the Dark Ninja Village as a demon that would break the existing system of the ninja world and bring chaos and killing to the ninja world.

With the return of the elders, the leaders and shadows of various ninja villages and forces also came to the Ninja Village with the elites of their respective villages.

As the second generation Hades, Orochimaru also received them warmly. Both parties enjoyed themselves very much and he did not treat these surrendered followers as outsiders at all.

Orochimaru's personal charm is still very strong, and he has won unanimous praise from the leaders of various ninja villages.

They thought that after becoming younger brothers, they had to keep a low profile, do things honestly, and be cautious when facing Pluto.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru treated everyone equally, moved among them, was friendly to everyone, never looked down on anyone, and would give them a bowl of chicken soup from time to time. He did not act superior at all, which made them feel a lot more at ease.

Although they succumbed to the strength of the Ninja Village and chose to submit, they still felt a little unhappy.

The Ninja Village is indeed too powerful!
Fortunately, Pluto Orochimaru is not the kind of arrogant and domineering person. In his eyes, these leaders are respected enough.

After arranging a welcoming banquet, Orochimaru began to arrange the next day for the leaders and elites of each small ninja village, under the leadership of Miyaji Hizo, to enter the small world to cleanse the Six Paths' will, witness the truth, find themselves, and escape from the cage.

The first group arranged was Yingtian Qingcheng from Takiguni Village and the twelve elite ninjas he led.

The effect was also significant. Tian Qingcheng and his subordinates discovered the hidden will of the Six Paths Sage and cleared it with the help of the formation.

Then they felt the huge changes in their bodies!
It turns out that the Ninja Village is really not lying! The Six Paths Sage is really harvesting the entire ninja community!
Although they all knew through information transmission about the first generation Hades Hinata Shin's revelation of the darkness of the Ninja World, and the news that the Six Paths Sage was reaping the Ninja World.

But basically no one believed it, even Tian Qingcheng was skeptical.

Although Hinata's information transmission technique has a wide coverage, it is still short-lived and has not been widely recognized by the ninja world.

Moreover, the five major ninja villages all have a negative attitude towards this, and claim that the Ninja Village is just doing it for its own selfish interests and forcibly gilding itself, which is absolutely not worth believing.

But now the evidence is conclusive, they have learned the truth, and verified what the first Pluto Hinata Makoto said.

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat! How much is left in the Ninja World? What do they not know? Is the Sage of Six Paths still alive? How did he embed his will into the bodies of each of them?
Have we ever been influenced by the Six Paths Sage in the past?
Now that they have finally escaped from the cage, their minds are working quickly, thinking about all the possibilities.

In the next few days, the leaders of various small ninja villages and forces also witnessed the truth and escaped from the cage.

The changes in the body, the relaxation of the soul, the chakra is purer, and the amount of chakra has also been greatly improved.

The leaders and their elite subordinates had a stronger sense of identification with the Ninja Village, and their resentment towards the Ninja Village's forceful incorporation also dissipated a little.

After helping them solve the problem, Orochimaru, as the King of Hell, also arranged for Miyazatoki Hizo to have a sparring session with their leaders.

He brought the leaders of the small ninja villages and their elite subordinates directly to the No. 1 training ground for a competition.

The purpose is to let these people know how powerful the Dark Ninja Village is, to knock down the remaining arrogance in their hearts, and to increase their sense of identity and belonging to the Dark Ninja Village.

Miyaji Hizo also gave Orochimaru some face and went straight to the center of the training ground, signaling all the leaders to come together!

This made all the newly joined ninja village leaders feel insulted. The weakest among them had the strength of an elite jonin, while the strongest ones already had the combat power of a Kage!

After escaping from the cage, his chakra amount increased greatly and his strength was greatly enhanced.

Although I know that Gong Zhi Rizhang is very strong, I can't underestimate them like that.

But Takikage Tian Qingcheng was the first to agree. He was also the strongest one among the group, possessing the combat power of a Kage.

He could feel the strong sense of oppression that Gong Zhi Rizhang brought to him when he looked at him, and his battle instinct was frantically warning him that he had absolutely no chance of winning on his own.

Since the strongest Takikage agreed, the other leaders also had no objections, except Takikage.

Only Shimizu from the Artisan Village who was equipped with the three-piece set of Qingming Ninja Tools, the Red Owl from the Snow Country, and Tobiyou, the leader of the Earth Ninja Village in the Vegetable Country, had some quasi-kage-level combat power. The others were only at the elite jonin level.

However, after eliminating the will of the Six Paths, they should have a period of rapid improvement in strength, and it should not be a problem for them to break through to the quasi-shadow level after a while.

Soon, a group of more than a dozen leaders of various small ninja villages launched an attack on Gongzhi Rizo.

But the battle ended very quickly! In less than a minute, everyone except Takikage Tianqingcheng had their necks slashed, leaving a bloody mark on their necks.

If Gong Zhi Rizhang had not had the intention to kill, they would have basically been beheaded.

Many people didn’t even see Gong Zhi Ri Zang, they just felt a chill on their neck and their bodies trembled unconsciously.

Even Tian Qingcheng, who had the strength of a Kage, could not last more than five minutes in the hands of Gong Zhi Rizo.

All the leaders were frightened by the strength of Miyaji Hizo. No wonder the Soul Ninja Village was able to withstand the combined forces of the five major ninja villages.

There are really too many strong people in the Ninja Village! And they are too strong!

Fortunately, they backed down quickly and are now our own people, otherwise they would probably have been buried in the ground by now.

After this battle, Takikage Tian Qingcheng was very impressed by the strength of the Ninja Village. It seemed that his choice was not wrong.
