Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 195 Konoha is good, but it is not ours

Orochimaru's research base.

A monkey let out a squeaking sound, and then its flesh and hair began to mutate and grow. In a blink of an eye, it had grown from its original state into a monster with both animal and plant characteristics.

Orochimaru couldn't suppress him, so he just arrested him and threw him out.

next moment.

There was another big tree in the jungle.

Orochimaru sighed softly.

Or not!

He frowned: "What's the problem?"

"Sir, could it be that, um, the monkey's chakra can't cooperate with us, so it quickly went out of control. If it was a human, it might be different."

He Ma whispered.

Orochimaru glanced at him coldly and said, "Use someone? You go?"

"Uh……"

He Ma was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head and said, "It was me who spoke too much."

"If I could use it on humans, I would have done it a long time ago. However, the more stable it is on monkeys, the more stable it will be on humans, which is also a good thing..."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we need to change to another kind of flesh and blood."

Using Hashirama cells as the core and subsequent development will still require relatively stringent usage conditions.

Sealing techniques, curses, and the suppression of flesh, blood, and chakra are all required to utilize this power, and these are the cells of Hashirama that were weakened by Kyohiko.

If it is the original version, it cannot be used at all.

"Kurokawa?"

Orochimaru pondered the feasibility of that kind of flesh and blood.

Immortal body.

This is what Jingyan calls it.

but.

Compared with the real immortal body, Kurokawa's immortal body has uncontrollable and corrosive symptoms, and also has certain difficulties and requires certain experiments.

"Looking at it this way, there aren't enough test subjects."

Orochimaru said to himself.

possible……

We have to develop more types of experimental subjects. If we rely solely on these types, it may not be long before the monkey and ape groups kept in the forest will need to recuperate.

Orochimaru was thinking about it.

Chakra fluctuations were heard in the air.

The uninvited guest is here again!

He sighed and said, "Let's take care of the monkey first. The experiment will be suspended until I figure out the theory."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

He Ma bowed his head respectfully.

At first, he was quite resistant to Orochimaru, but after working as his assistant for a period of time, he felt that following Orochimaru seemed to have found new meaning.

Study the secrets of ninjutsu, develop various novel ninjutsu, and learn various new knowledge.

of course.

There is something not so good.

He had little freedom and was basically confined to this forest.

Orochimaru walked out of the cave.

"what's up?"

"There are some situations. Do you know the list of Danzo's former subordinates? The ones that are under the control of the old man."

Jingyan asked.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment and said, "Part of you wants to deal with the old man?"

"Correct."

Jingyan nodded slightly.

Orochimaru was surprised at first, then thought deeply, but still couldn't figure it out, so he said, "Why? He has no power now. Normally, even if he has some ninjas, he can't affect your plan."

How many people are there in the root organization?
Even if Danzo kept some of them outside, their number was only a small part, and without the financial support of Konoha and Kyoto, Sarutobi Hiruzen's group of ninjas would never be able to enter the upper class.

He is very curious...

What angered Kyohiko and made him think of dealing with Sarutobi Hiruzen again?

"I suspect the old man has some ideas about the power of the tailed beasts."

Jing Yan said frankly.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, then chuckled and said, "That's really his style, but now that Danzo is gone, who will help him do this?"

"Come to think of it, it's my fault. If I hadn't brought Uzumaki Yuki back, he probably wouldn't have had such an idea."

Jingyan said indifferently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is a safe person. If it weren't for Uzumaki Yuki, he wouldn't even consider such a dangerous attempt. But once he had a safe backup plan...

That's hard to say.

"If that's the case, destroying some of the ninjas will only serve as a deterrent, and it won't have much effect. You can't do that to the old man."

Orochimaru raised his lips slightly, "You have to let Jiraiya discuss this matter."

"teacher?"

Jing Yan pondered for a moment and nodded gently, "That's right."

Minato Namikaze is not suitable for negotiation.

He has a gentle personality and never gets angry. Even if he gets angry, it will only be for a moment, and then he will stay rational and think about how to better solve the problem.

This is not the solution to the problem.

This method definitely won't work when negotiating with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It is more appropriate.

The current Jiraiya is considered to be better educated and is not as pedantic and naive as before.

"What do you think about the power of the tailed beasts?"

Orochimaru looked at Kyohiko, "The Hidden Cloud Village must have really mastered the laws of the power of the tailed beasts. Killer Bee and the two Yugitos have all demonstrated the ability to transform into tailed beasts without any damage."

Damageless tailed beast transformation.

This is definitely not the limit of the power of the tailed beast, but at present, Kushina has not even been able to develop this step, or in other words——

Before this, she had no awareness of development at all.

Now, although Kushina wants to strengthen the use of the power of the tailed beast, she is limited by the Nine-Tails' own wishes and has not made any progress so far.

"The Nine-Tailed Fox is very powerful and will definitely be difficult to deal with. There's no need to be too anxious."

Jingyan shook his head.

Orochimaru nodded, then thought for a moment and reported the part of the list he had.

Jingyan quickly copied it down, and then Fei Lei Shen disappeared.

He would not attack the root organization.

There are still differences between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo. Although both of them have their own dark sides, Sarutobi Hiruzen is more rational and knows what can and cannot be done.

He would never do anything that would be detrimental to Konoha.

but.

Some things, if they are only detrimental to an individual, are hard to say.

"correct."

Orochimaru suddenly called out to Kyohiko, "Can you give me some of your amber for research?"

"no problem."

Jingyan formed seals with his hands and then pressed them on a pine tree nearby.

Soon, the bark cracked and clumps of resin flowed out, quickly turning into several large beads, each as big as a human head.

"Thank you."

Orochimaru accepted it and explained his purpose——

This technique is very valuable.

Although not everyone can master Wood Release, it is possible that this thing can be used as a special seal to weaken Hashirama's cells.

This is also a good direction.

……

[Under your leadership, the Hidden Cloud Village paid a large amount of compensation, the Third Raikage apologized in a letter, and personally went to Konoha to negotiate.]

[This is a small step for Konoha, but a big step for diplomacy with the Hidden Cloud Village! ]

[Reward: Hell Stab·Four-Book Penetration (Mastery)]

Four books in hand.

Jingyan glanced at it, feeling nothing in his heart.

This thing called Four Books of Guanshou.

As for the mastery level, as long as he spends some time studying, it is not too difficult to replicate with his current ninjutsu foundation, but it will be a waste of time and not very meaningful.

but.

It's better than nothing. It's still a means of attack after all, and it might be of great use in special circumstances.

Furthermore, Jing Yan's attainment in lightning escape is average.

With the help of this reward, I have raised the level of my Lightning Release Ninjutsu a bit, so it's not a loss.

but.

What made him a little overwhelmed was the system's comments.

A small step for Konoha, a giant step for Kumogakure diplomacy...

In a sense, it's true.

From the Second Hokage to the Third Hokage who took the throne for the second time in the original timeline, Konoha never gained any advantage in the several negotiations with the Hidden Cloud Village during that period.

Basically, Konoha is the one suffering.

These few times of mine were truly a big step forward in the diplomacy between Konoha and Kumogakure.

……

It was almost noon and the sun was shining brightly at the border area under Konoha's jurisdiction.

"Third Raikage, nice to meet you!"

"Kyohiko-kun, this isn't the first time we've met. Let's put aside these useless formalities. Neither you nor I are that kind of person."

The Third Raikage said calmly.

Even though he wasn't targeting anyone intentionally, his personality made him sound very imposing when he spoke.

Next to the Third Raikage, there were a few relatively unfamiliar faces.

Jingyan glanced over.

If one is not recognized, he or she probably died in battle in the original timeline, or did not live to see the afterlife.

"That's true, Lord Raikage. I'm the only one here this time. Would you consider giving it a try?"

"Ah."

The Third Raikage glanced coldly, laughed and did not respond.

but.

He was speechless in his heart.

brat.

He is young, but has a dark heart.

Are you alone?
Is Flying Thunder God fake?

Besides, this is Konoha, and there are forests all around. With Kyohiko's Wood Release and Flying Thunder God, he can kill all his men.

As for himself.

In the short term, he is definitely not afraid, but in the long run, facing the siege of Flying Thunder God and the Konoha Ninjas, the result is basically a loss.

not to mention.

The point is-

Ai is still in the opponent's hands, what can we use to fight?
If you win, the opponent will run away. If you lose, your son will die. Only a fool would do such a thing.

The Third Raikage walked forward, not bothering to pay attention to Jingyan, his eyes focused on moving forward and striding forward.

A few minutes later.

"The leaf is just ahead."

"Konoha..."

The Third Raikage looked up.

The magnificent gate of Konoha, as well as the rooms and buildings, came into view instantly after turning the corner, and pedestrians on the street could be vaguely seen.

What a prosperous village!

"As expected of Konoha."

He sighed inwardly.

The situations of the five major ninja villages are different, but if you want to say which one is the richest, it must be Konoha Village, and the Land of Fire is one of the richest and most economically advanced countries.

In comparison.

The Hidden Cloud Village has continued to grow stronger until now, mainly because the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning has given sufficient support and huge investments.

after all--

The Land of Thunder is a place full of thunder and disasters.

Apart from fighting and seizing other people's economic resources, there is really not much room for development.

"so good!"

Several people from the Hidden Cloud Village couldn't help but admire in a low voice.

The landscape of Konoha is simply the most ideal state in the minds of everyone in the Hidden Cloud Village. However, the reality is that there is no such land in the Hidden Cloud Village.

They were so envious of such a village.

Jingyan glanced at them, smiled secretly in his heart, then took them in and walked around the village. The group of people went from being amazed to gradually becoming silent.

The Third Raikage sighed and said, "Come on, Kyohiko-kun, take me to see the Fourth Hokage. Let's finish the negotiation work as soon as possible. We have to go back to the Hidden Cloud Village."

Konoha is good.

but……

Not theirs.

The Third Raikage closed his eyes, turned around, opened his eyes, and strode towards the building with a very determined will.

Jingyan did not try to keep him.

Just show the other person around, that's all. We can talk about the follow-up matters later.

……

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade, the Third Raikage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utane Koharu and others were negotiating together.

Next door, Kyohiko summoned Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi.

When Hai looked at Jing Yan, there was still a trace of uneasiness in his eyes——

He originally thought that Jingyan might take some action in the short term, but this turned out not to be the case. Until today, Jingyan has remained silent and indifferent.

It seemed as if the other party really thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen was just passing by.

If Kyouhiko was Minato Namikaze, Yamanaka Inoichi would have believed that, but since the other party was Ryomine Kyouhiko, he could only say -

What about lying to a fool?

Yamanaka Inoichi knew that this bomb would explode one day, but he didn't know when it would explode, and he couldn't be sure whether it would affect their Yamanaka clan.

Hope not!
Yamanaka Inoichi prayed in his heart.

Shikaku looked at Jingyan and coughed softly, "Jingyan-kun, let us come over here. Is there anything you want to talk about?"

"That's right, isn't the Third Raikage coming to our Konoha? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."

Jingyan hadn't finished speaking yet.

Shan Zhong Hai Yi was shocked and asked: "You want to kill him?"

???

Jingyan and Shikaku turned their heads at the same time and stared at Yamanaka Inoichi, with a hint of confusion and shock in their eyes.

Finally, Jingyan felt helpless.

"Why do you think that? Do I look like such a crazy person?"

"Ahem, I was distracted."

Shan Zhonghai's old face turned red.

He was only thinking about "thunder" just now. As soon as Jingyan mentioned the Third Raikage, he immediately thought about that.

Jing Yan said: "To put it simply, I want to do a business with the Hidden Cloud Village. Both of your families are good at doing business, so I want to communicate with you and ask for your opinions."

"Well, let's talk about it. As for business, we do have some connections with the Thunder Country. And thanks to you, we have been interacting with the Thunder Country more frequently recently."

Nara Shikaku did not hide or avoid anything.

Jing Yan said: "How do you feel about going to the Land of Thunder to do business?"

"Feel?"

Shikaku paused for a moment, then said, "Not very good. Their transportation is very inconvenient. If you can walk to many places, you can actually save a lot of time, but there is no way. There are naturally generated lightning everywhere, which is very dangerous even for ninjas."

The caravans are usually ordinary people, so it is even less likely that they would take those roads.

"If you take a detour, the cost will be doubled."

Shikaku talked about the situation of their clan.

"What about the mountain people?"

Jingyan looked at Haiyi.

Shan Zhonghai nodded: "Not much different. We also have to take a detour, so in recent years, our trade with the Kingdom of Thunder has actually been declining. After all..."

He sighed softly.

"Going by water is convenient and cheap, but there are no landing docks, and the subsequent costs are also very high. Flowers and other things can't make much money at all."

"Can we make a lot of money by helping the Thunder Nation build its infrastructure?"

Jingyan put forward his own idea.

what?
Haiyi had a confused expression.

Shikaku was lost in thought.

Infrastructure...

How do we build the infrastructure with so many Thunders and restricted areas?

Besides, that is the Kingdom of Thunder, the future enemy!
