Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

In the Sand Village, Luo Sha looked back at the village, as well as the children and ninjas following behind him, and then shouted: "Let's go!"

There were several children behind him, among them was Ye Cang's disciple Maki.

Luo Sha never let down his guard along the way and kept an eye on the movements around him at all times.

He felt that since Ye Cang had returned to the village, he would definitely take a look at Zhenshu.

and so.

If I bring Maki with me, Ye Cang might show up.

however.

To his disappointment, he did not see Ye Cang until he reached the border of the Wind Kingdom.

Ye Cang...

Luo Sha sighed inwardly, feeling extremely regretful and annoyed.

If he had thought of a better option at the beginning, the Sand Village might not be so dilapidated today.

At least, after I leave, there will be someone to take over.

Not like now.

In such a huge Sand Village, there is no other elite jonin who can temporarily take over the important position after he leaves the Sand Village.

As for the elders.

Elder Naito does have some abilities, but they are not very strong, and his combat effectiveness is very poor...

"Do we have to hire ninjas from Konoha?"

An absurd thought flashed through Luo Sha's mind.

Hire Konoha ninjas!
In terms of strength, Konoha is now very powerful, with many jonin and elites emerging one after another, in addition to Minato Namikaze and Kyohiko Ryomine...

There was also a powerful ninja who kicked half of the ninjas of Kusanagi Village to death with a single kick.

but.

The cost of hiring a ninja of this level is also very expensive.

After being hired, even though he went to the Snow Country to complete the commission, he didn't make much money and ended up working for Konoha.

Luo Sha sighed, his heart was speechless and full of confusion.

Go back to the woods.

The desert of the past has now become more lush and green, making it hard to imagine that this was once the edge of a desert.

He stood outside the forest for a long time.

Many elites of the Sand Village were buried in this forest, causing the Sand Village to be extinct and it has not recovered to this day.

The war that took place here also forced Luo Sha to face the reality that the Sand Village had to bow its head and surrender, and it also caused him to lose his greatest helper -

Ebizo.

That wise and intelligent old man had a large number of intelligence ninjas at his disposal, but with the death of Ebizo, less than half of these intelligence ninjas could be awakened.

Luo Sha stopped to remember, and at the same time hoped that Ye Cang would come.

After waiting for several minutes, he whispered, "Let's go. The country of rivers is just ahead."

He didn't tell the story here.

Even if they took the initiative to invade Konoha and were eventually beaten back by Konoha, but——

If the Sand Village is strong enough, Luo Sha will definitely hope that the children will not forget the Sand Village's past here and remember their disastrous defeat.

but.

They are too weak now.

Luo Sha sighed, then stepped into the Kingdom of Rivers.

They had already greeted the Daimyo of River Country before, so they were not afraid of causing disputes between the two countries and went all the way to Kikyo Castle along the old road.

but.

Just as he came out of the woods and arrived at the place where the past three Kazekage had died, Luo Sha sensed a chakra fluctuation.

Something moved in his heart.

"Rest here for a while. I will contact Konoha to avoid any misunderstanding."

Luo Sha looked at Maki, "I'll leave my clone here, you and Yura will be in charge of guarding the surroundings, please be safe."

"Lord Fengying, how can you go in person? Let me go!"

Maki immediately volunteered.

"No need, this distance is nothing to me, you don't have to fight."

Luo Sha shook her head.

"Yes, Kazekage-sama!"

Maki's face turned serious.

He was now sixteen years old and had been promoted to jonin.

Although he is not very comprehensive in some areas, he is already a rare elite in the Sand Village, and the most powerful among this group of people except Rasa.

Luo Sha created a shadow clone and then left in an instant.

Following the scent all the way to a valley to the north of them, they jumped into a pit when they heard a voice from the treetops above.

"What else do you want from me?"

"Ye Cang!"

Luo Sha's tone was a little excited when he heard this, but he also felt relieved.

He calmed down a bit.

Then, Luo Sha said: "Ye Cang, come back, the past was a misunderstanding, and the Sand Village needs you now!"

"Ah……"

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Ye Cang's face.

Then she took out the forehead protector, holding one end in one hand, and the entire forehead protector hung down from the treetop.

"Look at my forehead protector."

Luo Sha looked up.

There is a striking scratch on the forehead guard.

That is the mark of a traitor.

Ye Cang drew a line on her own forehead protector, which means that she will never return to the Sand Village again?
Luo Sha was stunned for a long time.

Then, he was a little confused: "Then why did you..."

"I still care about the Sand Village, but I won't return to the village, Luosha, you don't understand my current situation and mood."

Ye Cang stood up and looked down at Luo Sha.

"Yakura, the Burning Release Master of the Sand Village, is dead. Now I am just a lonely ghost wandering in the ninja world..."

She said, chuckling.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first, Kazekage of Sunagakure."

"and many more!"

Luo Sha shouted hurriedly.

However, Ye Cang had disappeared without a trace.

……

Konoha, inside the Anbu.

Kakashi held the bark in his hand and fell into deep thought for a long time.

At least before it was paper and bamboo tubes.

This time it became tree bark.

What kind of outside intelligence agent did Jing Yan find? Has the life undercover become so difficult?

"Come to think of it, Jing Yan didn't seem to mention this person..."

Shiranui Genma couldn't help but say.

Kakashi looked up: "Special intelligence personnel must be as secretive as possible. It is a bad thing if too many people know about it. You should know the rules, right?"

"clear."

Shiranui Genma's face turned serious.

The reason why he knew this person was because Kikyo City often transmitted information to Konoha through his channel.

Otherwise, the intelligence team is separate from them and they won’t have direct contact with each other.

"That guy Jingyan... well, he might still be in Myoboku Mountain. I'll go look for him. Can you help me deal with the documents on the table? I have to go to Myoboku Mountain to notify them. It might be urgent!"

"what?"

Shiranui Genma was stunned for a moment.
As Kakashi spoke, he suddenly disappeared in an instant, at such a speed that Shiranui Genma seemed to hear the sound of wind and thunder.

"I finally understand what thunder and lightning mean, but..."

Genma Shiranui looked at the table and fell into long contemplation.

He always felt that—

I seem to have been fooled!
but.

This is the position of the Anbu captain!

Shiranui Genma hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward and picked up a notebook.

Information from the Land of Earth.

"Onoki has mobilized ninjas and is suspected to have strengthened surveillance on the border with the Rain Country."

Pick up another copy.

"The number of people heading to the Rain Country from the direction of the Earth Country has increased significantly. It seems that ninjas have sneaked in."

The Hidden Rock Village has increased its surveillance of the Hidden Rain Village...

Because the Hidden Rain Village is going to visit Konoha?
"It seems that Oonoki is still harboring evil intentions!"

Genma Shiranui stacked the two pieces of information together, and then quickly looked through the files one by one, looking for various pieces of information.

He seemed to adapt to the job quickly.

……

After leaving the Anbu, Kakashi summoned a toad.

"Is Jingyan still in Myoboku Mountain?" "Quack, he has returned to the village."

Toad replied.

Kakashi was stunned for a while, then continued: "When did he come back? Why didn't I know about it!"

"Morning?"

"Damn it! It's already afternoon!"

Kakashi said angrily.

Then he took a deep breath.

The toad in front of me is innocent. I can't be angry at a toad...

He tried hard to maintain his self-control.

"Thank you, I understand."

Kakashi sent the toad away and then quickly went to Orochimaru's research base.

Jingyan didn't go anywhere else after he came back, so he must be there!

……

Inside the forest, Kyouhiko and Orochimaru gathered together, with Yamato standing in front of them.

"Try again."

"Is this dangerous?"

"Follow our orders and you will not be in danger. In fact, I have reduced its danger to the lowest level. When it reaches its limit, there will be a clear warning."

Orochimaru's voice was hoarser than normal—

He was really tired these days.

In order to study this thing, Orochimaru hardly took a break, and now he has achieved some results.

but.

Whether it will work or not depends on this experiment.

Orochimaru licked his dry lips.

"let's start!"

"Yes!"

Yamato stretched out his hand and put on the special arm that was only slightly larger than his arm.

This arm is different from the previous ones.

Its interior is made of steel, with special lines inside. Just from the armor and the touch, it is very different from before.

For a moment, Yamato didn't know how to control it.

He frowned.

"Just use it like last time."

Jingyan reminded.

Yamato nodded, then formed seals with one hand to mobilize chakra and use a relatively simple ninjutsu.

Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique!
The next second, a branch quickly grew out of the special mechanical arm he was wearing, and then entangled the tree in front.

Just the blink of an eye.

Gala!

The trees were strangled and collapsed.

Yamato was stunned for a long time, an expression of disbelief on his face.

This……

What a powerful ninjutsu effect!

Although his own Wood Release Ninjutsu can achieve similar abilities, it is definitely not something that the Silent Killing Binding Jutsu can do, and it may also consume more chakra.

Unbelievable!

"How's the effect? ​​Compared to last time, is this time better? How much chakra do you think can be saved?"

Orochimaru quickly took out a pen and notebook and began to record the data.

This is important experimental data.

Yamato replied: "The chakra I output has not changed, but the power is stronger than last time, probably stronger... about one third?"

"One third?"

Orochimaru frowned slightly, not very satisfied.

This was not the effect he expected.

but.

That’s okay!
Orochimaru continued to record and asked, "Try to use other ninjutsu, or just use Wood Release without seals."

"No seal?"

Yamato was puzzled.

Jingyan coughed lightly, "When you use chakra, just use a technique similar to Wood Release and think about how to make it move."

"Is it that simple?"

Yamato was doubtful.

The next second, he tried to press the hand to the ground.

Wood escape·Wooden spindle wall!
This is a very commonly used defensive ninjutsu in Wood Release Ninjutsu, and it involves more hand seals than the Silent Killing Binding Technique.

The next second, the moment his palm touched the ground.

Bang!
The ground cracked and trees grew out, quickly protecting him.

Incredibly, Yamato can sense the situation outside through the trees, as if they had become his own eyes.

This was a situation he had never encountered before.

Yamato stood up, looked up, and was immediately stunned.

His wood ingot walls were mostly made of wood and had no vitality, but the wood ingot walls used now are made of living trees.

They are alive!
The "feeling" I had just now should have come from these trees.

"I used the usual amount of chakra, but the effect is obviously stronger, and I can sense the outside world through it..."

Yamato reported quickly.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up and he quickly wrote it down.

Perception!

The previous Silent Killing Binding only increased its power, which could only be considered a quantitative change, but this time the Wooden Ingot Wall was a qualitative change.

The extra perception can allow the ninja in defensive ninjutsu to observe the outside world more easily and safely.

"Kyohiko, can you do this?"

"Of course, my grass barrier is extracted from this characteristic."

Jingyan nodded.

Orochimaru licked his lips and said, "That is to say, this puppet arm has improved his Wood Release ability to a higher level!"

"At the moment, it seems so. Yamato, use some ninjutsu at random, consume as much chakra as possible, and see the limit of this puppet arm."

Kyohiko looked towards Yamato.

"Yes!"

Yamato thought about it and tried to make seals with his hands.

Although puppet hands are difficult to use, it is not impossible to use them by forming seals with both hands.

After a moment, he put his hands on the ground.

Immediately—

In this not-so-large open space, trees quickly grew up from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, formed a wooden tower as high as four or five stories.

Yamato held his head high, his face full of shock.

“I just wanted to build a cabin!”

Orochimaru heard this and quickly recorded the data.

Unstable control!
Yamato raised his head, then instantly jumped forward and used a ninjutsu to create a tree.

After turning an empty space into trees, he felt his arms burning.

"Sir, it's so hot!"

"Take it off. Take it off."

Orochimaru said quickly.

Yamato did as he was told and took off his arm armor. Immediately, he saw a special piece of white flesh in his arm twisted and poking out from the gap, looking extremely terrifying.

After cutting off the chakra, Orochimaru and Kyohiko came over.

"Will it recover automatically?"

"Not yet, but you can make its chakra disappear by absorbing it."

Orochimaru said this, forming seals with his hands, and then placed one hand on the arm.

After a long time, the arm slowly returned.

Kyouhiko glanced at Orochimaru.

The technique just now seemed similar to the chakra absorption technique of the Red Copper Armor, but also somewhat different.

After a while, the arm returned to its original state.

Orochimaru looked at Yamato.

"As you release ninjutsu, this arm will reach a charged state. Once the chakra is too high, its interior will remind you to remove the armor. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

Upon hearing this, Yamato nodded repeatedly, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

This setting allows him to use the puppet arm more safely without having to worry about the side effects of being swallowed or assimilated!
"After each use, you are not allowed to use it a second time within a short period of time. It is best to bring it back to the village for inspection..."

"Before actually using it, have your shadow clone test its carrying capacity."

Orochimaru talked about the next step.

If you can determine the load limit, you can use it with confidence within a certain number of times, otherwise it will be useless. (End of this chapter)
