I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

The withdrawal of the Cloud Village troops undoubtedly allowed Huang Tu to truly relax, but just then, an Iwa ninja came looking for him.

"People from Sunagakure?" Huang Tu looked at the Iwa ninja who came to report with surprise.

"This is a huge windfall. Even if we have to give half of it to the Hidden Cloud Village, the remaining wealth will be enough for us to achieve rapid development once again."

Inside the Star Shadow Building office, after taking inventory of the valuables, Nono Yu approached Naraku with a beaming smile.

Her joy is normal.

Although Naraku's raid on the Land of Earth did not last very long, his extremely high efficiency resulted in a very large amount of wealth being acquired.

As one of the five great nations, the Land of Earth may not be as fertile as the Land of Fire, but its wealth is still unimaginable.

Naraku's rampage, while not necessarily causing the Land of Earth to fall out of the ranks of the Five Great Nations, certainly dealt a heavy blow to its vitality, resulting in a sharp decline in the Land of Earth's wealth.

As for the chaos and turmoil it caused, that goes without saying.

"Distribute the inventoried loot as soon as possible. I think the people from Kumogakure will be here soon." Naraku was quite satisfied with the plunder.

“Understood. By the way, what if the Hidden Cloud Village demands a Jinchūriki?” Nono immediately nodded, then asked about another matter.

Han and Roshi, as Jinchūriki, are also important resources.

“Of course, that’s a separate matter. Our agreement with Kumogakure only covers the division of the wealth looted from the Land of Earth; Jinchuriki are obviously not included,” Naraku said directly.

He certainly couldn't possibly share the spoils with Han and Lao Zi as well as with Kumogakure.

Although he was wary of Hagoromo Otsutsuki and did not plan to absorb the Tailed Beasts for the time being, he would not easily give away resources like Jinchuriki.

This time, he didn't even intend to negotiate with Iwagakure again, but instead planned to create a Jinchūriki for Hoshigakure.

With its current development, Xingren Village no longer lacks resources in the short term.

If Hoshigakure wants to develop into a village at the level of the Five Great Ninja Villages, it naturally cannot do without a nuclear bomb like the Tailed Beasts.

The main reason was that after this raid, Naraku knew that he had formed a deadly feud with Iwagakure, so he was more willing to further weaken the enemy than to provide some supplies.

Without Han and Rōshi, Iwagakure will not only lose two top-tier fighters, but also, compared to the other four of the Five Great Ninja Villages, will undoubtedly lack a core deterrent force.

Naraku's answer made Nonou aware of Naraku's attitude, and she immediately separated the two Jinchuriki from the divided supplies in her mind.

“There’s another matter. Didn’t you ask me to keep an eye on Yekura’s movements? Our people in Sunagakure recently sent word that Sunagakure intends to form an alliance with Iwagakure and is even preparing to send Yekura as an envoy to Iwagakure.” After discussing the division of supplies, Nonou brought up other matters.

Planting spies in other factions is a common practice for any large-scale power.

The same is true for Hoshinobi Village today.

Especially Sunagakure Village.

Sunagakure is arguably the most deeply infiltrated force by Hoshigakure.

The reason is not only that the two countries are adjacent, but also that Sasori is on the Xingnin Village side.

Sasori was once a genius ninja of Sunagakure.

In addition, he is Chiyo's grandson.

It can be said that as long as he is willing, he can easily weave a rich network of connections in Sunagakure.

Although Sasori left Sunagakure immediately after assassinating the Third Kazekage, he clearly did not truly abandon his network of connections within the village.

In fact, there are many die-hard Sasori followers within Sunagakure.

Before Scorpion left, all of these people had been subjected to "mind manipulation" by him.

"Mind Control Sand" is a sealing technique that can seal a person's memories.

What Scorpion sealed away were the memories of these people who were true to themselves.

He took this action to prevent his assassination attempt on the Third Kazekage from being exposed, which would lead to his people being eliminated by the Sand Village.

Now, these people have naturally become spies planted by the Star Village in the Sand Village, providing the Star Village with intelligence about the Sand Village.

As Nono said, because of Yekura's experiences in the original story, Naraku had the idea of ​​winning her over. So, from the moment Yekura left, he had already sent spies from Sunagakure to keep an eye on her.

“An alliance, envoy.” Naraku seemed to be deep in thought after hearing what Nonou said.

If he remembered correctly, Yekura was assassinated by Sunagakure in an attempt to reconcile the war conflict with Kirigakure.

However, this is just the original storyline. Now that he has joined the ninja world, the situation is very different, so it is impossible to simply follow the original storyline.

"Go and contact the people in Sunagakure and tell them to keep a close eye on Yotsuba's movements. If there are any new discoveries, remember to report them immediately," Naraku instructed Nonou after thinking for a moment.

"Okay!" Nono said, indicating that there was no problem.

The two chatted for a while longer.

After Nono left, Naraku began to think about Yokura again.

Chapter 106 Dividing the spoils

In Sunagakure, Rasa has now successfully taken over.

However, just like in the original storyline, top-tier combatants like Yekura were sacrificed.

Even after successfully taking over, Rasa clearly still harbored reservations about Yekura.

This is mainly because Yekura is too outstanding.

Even though she lost the competition for Kazekage, many people in Sunagakure still supported Pakura.

In the eyes of those in power, this was undoubtedly a case of someone whose achievements threatened the ruler.

In fact, cases like Pakura's are not uncommon in the ninja world.

A recent example is Konoha's White Fang.

Others might not know, but how could Naraku, who came from the Root organization, not know?

The death of Konoha's White Fang was caused by his overwhelming power and influence.

Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't as brainless as Rasa.

The other party initially only wanted to use public opinion to suppress Sakumo Hatake's prestige and deprive him of further opportunities.

It just went wrong in the end.

"Regardless of whether Rasa intends to use the alliance with Iwagakure as a pretext to eliminate Yotsuki, it's always good to be prepared in advance," Naraku thought to himself.

He had Nonou contact the spies in Sunagakure precisely to guard against the Rasa Society's 'premature action'.

If the other party really intends to use the guise of an alliance to kill Yekura, then he certainly cannot miss this great opportunity to win back Yekura.

Within a few days, the battle between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, which had been fought to the death, ceased.

The Hidden Cloud Village quickly completed its withdrawal.

Iwagakure Village showed absolutely no intention of launching a counterattack.

no way.

Although Onoki forced the Third Raikage to retreat through large-scale operations, he also suffered heavy casualties.

"Kumakuya Village, Hoshigakure Village, I will settle accounts with you sooner or later."

Inside the camp, Onoki growled and cursed.

Neither the retreat of the Hidden Cloud Village nor the cessation of Naraku's plundering brought any joy to Onoki.

Because the losses suffered by Iwagakure and the Land of Earth this time were too great.

On the battlefield, both sides suffered heavy losses with the Hidden Cloud Village, and the country was in complete disarray.

Especially the latter.

Even though Naraku has stopped plundering, the impact of his actions has not ended.

The Land of Earth is now in a state of panic, especially among the wealthy and noble, many of whom have chosen to leave out of fear.

Such development has undoubtedly caused considerable losses to the economy of the Land of Earth.

Where some suffer, others rejoice.

In contrast to the suffering of Iwagakure, Hoshigakure and Kumogakure were overjoyed.

The Hidden Cloud Village acted swiftly.

As soon as the two sides finished their operation, the Third Raikage immediately dispatched a delegation to Hoshigakure.

When the messenger from Kumogakure arrived, Nonou replaced Naraku and began dividing the spoils with the people of Kumogakure.

"So many? Could there be a mistake?"

The delegation from Kumogakure was led by a man who wore an eyepatch over his left eye.

This person is named Tsuchida. In addition to being a user of the Lava Release bloodline limit, he also enjoys the deep trust of the Third Raikage.

At this moment, Tsuchida was clearly taken aback when he saw the list of supplies provided by Nono.

This was simply because the quantity of supplies on the list far exceeded his expectations.

And it's not just a little bit more, it's more than doubled.

He looked at Nono across from him in shock, wanting to confirm if there was a mistake in the list.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I personally compiled the list of supplies," Nono said with a smile.
