Chapter 109 Change

At the critical moment when Jiraiya's reinforcements and Akatsuki mercenaries had not yet arrived, the situation in Konoha was reversed as Danzo led many deceased Konoha heroes to appear. The Kumogakure ninjas obviously lacked experience in how to deal with such enemies, and the Impure World Reincarnation Technique would surely resound throughout the ninja world with the corpses and blood left by the Kumogakure ninjas in Konoha.

This is Danzo's real trump card for becoming Hokage.

It is also the largest-scale appearance of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique perfected by Orochimaru in the current history of the ninja world.

Before this, no one thought that the reappearance of the dead was actually the return of the dead, they would only think that it was a centipede that was dead but not stiff.

Especially for Obito, who had the experience of living with Uchiha Madara and the mantle he passed on, he had deeply realized what kind of terrifying power this world actually contained, and what kind of magnificent ability would be possessed by developing the potential of ninjas to the extreme.

The more he understood, the more he was in awe of this ninja system based on chakra.

But even so, the method of living for more than a hundred years and still being able to stay young and even maintain strength was considered extremely difficult by Obito before. Even men like Madara who stood at the top of this ninja world could not avoid aging, illness and death, and died of old age. How could others be spared?

But when he saw the masked man who could use the wood escape ninjutsu very calmly not far away, and saw the other party's boring wood escape constructed with amazing power to instantly suppress the completely tailed beast Yagura, and felt the extreme vitality contained in the wood escape, without the need for Kusanagi beside him to take it seriously, Obito believed it almost at first sight.

There is no doubt.

This masked man is the real Senju Hashirama.

If there is really such an ability to live forever, except for the control of Senju Hashirama who is stronger than Madara and has the ultimate life energy of wood escape, Obito can no longer think of any other possibility.

Even Orochimaru, a ninja scientist who was immersed in achieving immortality, was just exploring this path in his eyes. The other party was extremely difficult to walk. The reincarnation every two years could make him feel like he was in heaven and death. Obito didn't think he could succeed. There was no other reason. It was simply that the Moon Eye Plan of their Akatsuki organization after collecting the tailed beasts in the near future would break all the arrangements of the world. Everyone would be trapped in the illusion, and Orochimaru was obviously unable to avoid it.

"The battle is over," Black Zetsu said hoarsely, "Yakura failed."

In the distance, the fourth generation Mizukage Yakura had changed from the tailed beast state to the human state. After the wood dragon disappeared, his body also fell to the ground, and his life or death was unknown.

"Huh? Those two people... seem to be confronting?" White Zetsu's puzzled voice sounded.

Obito also saw this scene. Hashirama Senju and that Hyuga Ninchi seemed to be arguing about something.

"Can you eavesdrop?" Obito asked.

White Zetsu glanced at Obito.

Eavesdropping with the Wood Release Technique in front of Hashirama Senju?

They didn't even avoid Hyuga Ninchi's white eyes!

"The risk is a bit high... But, let's try it. I'm also curious about what they are talking about." White Zetsu laughed.

The ephemeral technique began to move to a tree closer to the two of them.

If you can't beat them, can you still run away?

Although Hashirama's Wood Release is powerful, Obito's ability is still relatively calm in the face of any physical ninjutsu attack, although his resistance to illusion is much weaker, and he is probably not the opponent in terms of combat experience.

But if you can't beat them, can you still run away?

Whether it is White Zetsu's ephemeral technique or Obito's Kamui, they are both top-level escape ninjutsu.

The ephemeral technique slowly approached, and when it was close to a certain position, the first sentence Obito and Zetsu heard was Hashirama's upright voice:

"Where did you take my granddaughter Tsunade?"

Obito and Zetsu were both stunned.

Tsunade was captured by Ning Qi?

"If it weren't for that woman, you would probably attack me now..." Ning Qi said with a low smile.

"Hmph——" Hashirama was about to speak, but suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Obito and others, and scolded, "Who is it?"

He clapped his hands, and Zetsu suddenly felt that the trees and space around him became stagnant like glue, and it was getting more and more sticky.

"Sure enough... he can restrict my movements..."

But at the last moment, Zetsu still broke through the restrictions and used the Mayfly Technique to quickly move out.

The Mayfly Technique, apart from other things, is indeed the best in the ninja world in terms of movement speed. This is a convenient ninjutsu that even Hashirama cannot stop. The world is big, as long as there are plants, White Zetsu can go anywhere.

In a safe place, they drilled out of the ground and looked at the two vague figures on the mountainside, speechless for a while.

"I overheard important information." Black Zetsu said softly.

"The relationship between the two of them is not good, and it is at the point of breaking out at any time, but sure enough, there is still a connection..." Obito analyzed calmly. Once the connection is established, many in-depth associations can be made according to the specific situation.

For example, was the rebellion launched by Ning Qi in Konoha secretly influenced by this Senju Hashirama?

Also, since Hashirama still cared about Tsunade's life, why did he turn a blind eye to Ning Qi's rebellion, and even when Konoha was in danger of destruction, he did not stop the attack of Kumogakure, but came to the Hidden Mist Village to plan something.

And more.

How did Hashirama survive until now?

What caused his change in attitude towards Konoha?

What is his purpose?

What is the relationship between Ning Qi and Zhu Jian?

Ning Qi once asked that he wanted to join the Akatsuki organization, but at that time, Obito had not joined the Akatsuki organization in any capacity, at least on the surface. How did Ning Qi know that he was connected to the Akatsuki organization?

Are his unpredictable actions and details on the night of the Konoha rebellion a secret reminder from Hashirama?

There is a serious lack of information about this god of ninjas, and just now Hashirama has shown his ninjutsu restraint against this Yin-Yang creation. He used a trivial means to show the limit of his blood inheritance as a wood escape. The dominant position of the uncrowned king at the end of the road. Even if others are Jue, using Wood Release in front of this person is just a big deal in front of Guan Gong and brings humiliation to themselves.

This may also explain why Cao Zetsu, who has been monitoring intelligence everywhere for more than ten years, has never heard of Hashirama's existence. The other party's understanding of wood escape has already reached its peak. Zetsu can't even sneak into the country of waves. In the foreseeable future, In the future, Cao Jue's top-level ability to detect intelligence will definitely not be effective against Hashirama.

If they, the Akatsuki Organization, want to obtain information about this person, they can probably only rely on indirect information and start from a third party.

"Huh? It seems that the negotiation between Ning Qi and Zhu Jian failed, and the two started to fight." Bai Jue exclaimed.

Obito suddenly raised his head.

The next second, a Thousand-Armed Buddha, which was more than fifty meters tall and extremely powerful, was summoned, and then the Thousand-Armed Fist was smashed towards a certain place crazily.

Dust flew more than a hundred meters, and the sound shook the world.

Obito and Zetsu felt the fission of the earth, and they were both distracted for a moment.

"It's really thousands of hands and a Buddha on the top..." Hei Jue's voice broke the silence.

Except for the real Senju Hashirama, no one can use such powerful wood escape ninjutsu.

But, what happened to Ning Qi that provoked Zhu Jian to make him want to be so cruel?

"How did Ning Qi cope?" Obito asked curiously.

"Ning Qi didn't take action, he just used the Flying Thunder God technique to escape..."

This is by no means a force that can resist head-on. Running away is the absolute best strategy.

Obito paused for a moment.

"Follow me!"

To say that the best third party to understand Hashirama's intelligence is obviously Hyuga Ningqi.

…

The next day, the news spread throughout Kirigakure Village that something happened to the fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura.

During the turbulent moment, Genshi, the elder of Kirigakure Village, stood up and took over the role of Mizukage. After stabilizing the increasingly tense situation in Kirigakure Village, he sent ANBU to investigate the truth behind Yagura's accident.

These ANBU soon brought the truth to Kirigakure.

"It's Senju Hashirama!! It was him who took action!!"

"Originally, Mizukage-sama was just hunting for Hinata Ningki, the rebel Konoha ninja who sneaked into our Kirigakure Village. But when they were fighting, the masked Senju Hashirama suddenly appeared and used wood to escape. After stopping Mr. Mizukage, he attacked Ning Qi and beat him away. "

This was the explanation given to Genshi by Mizukage personally accompanying the ninja as a witness at the scene when he was being interrogated.

Genshi is the oldest person in Kirigakure Village and a figure of the same era as Senju Hashirama. Naturally, he has heard of the name of the ninja god Senju Hashirama, so he is particularly confused. He is holding his cane. Slowly said: "...Senju Hashirama-sama has a good reputation. The distribution of tailed beasts to the five major ninja villages was also under his auspices. The first Mizukage-sama at that time also spoke very highly of him after he returned. , He...how could he do such a thing against our Lord Mizukage for no reason?"

"I have no idea……"

"And hasn't Lord Hashirama been dead for a long time?"

"I have no idea……"

"That person you saw, is he really Senju Hashirama?"

"He's wearing a mask... I don't know. We feel that no one except Senju Hashirama can perform such wooden escape techniques, and I personally heard Ning Qi call him 'Hashirama'." This water Yingqin shook his head and said, he really didn't know.

With so many unknowns in a row, Master Yuan shook his head and tapped the ground with his crutch.

The Watermelon Mountain Fugu Ghost who was in charge of the interrogation then smiled ferociously and poked more than a dozen blazing silver needles into the man's body, and warned lightly: "Something happened to Mr. Yagura, and you, as his personal followers, are still alive. , this is your dereliction of duty...according to convention, you should be treated as traitors...but!"

However, since Terumi Mei defeated more than two hundred ninjas in Kirigakure Village, Kirigakure Village's strength has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer possible to kill people so unscrupulously.

Naturally, you can't say this to the guy in front of you.

"But! Master Yuanshi is willing to give you a chance to tell you everything that happened. Master Yuanshi will protect you from death!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The Mizukage's personal attendant said with tears of gratitude while enduring the pain of the needles in his body.

The whole context of the matter was revealed in this person's intermittence.

The puffer fish gathered the information obtained from interrogating these personal followers and the oral information spoken by the ninjas who had returned from the Land of Waves some time ago, and placed them on the Yuanshi's desk. From this, a preliminary report about the Country of Waves was made. The entire event network of Senju Hashirama was established.

Master Yuan was so old that his eyesight was blurry, so someone else read out the crime report to him. Although Master Yuan's ears were not very good, he still finished reading it with stumbling.

Master Yuan was silent for a long time after listening, and he only really heard two words from the content:

"change……"

The Yuanshi was a witness to the establishment of the Hidden Mist Village, a key figure in one of the ninja clans, and an ordinary person who had a good relationship with the first generation of Mizukage.

Since the first generation of Mizukage, he has joined the status of an elder of the important policies of the Hidden Mist Village due to his profound background and extensive knowledge. In this process, with the death of several other first-generation elders, he became the only remaining elder and was deeply respected by everyone in the Hidden Mist Village.

Even the second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, who had an extremely eccentric personality and brought important changes to the closed Hidden Mist Village, was annoyed by the conservative Yuanshi, but he only emptied his position and did not let him ask about the new policies of the Hidden Mist Village.

Starting from the third generation of Mizukage, the Hidden Mist Village returned to a closed state from an open state, until the fourth generation of Mizukage, Yagura, took office. The repeated power of the conservatives allowed the Yuanshi's power to return and sublimate.

Especially at this time when Karagi Yagura disappeared, he became the undisputed supreme leader of the Hidden Mist Village. Although he was old and his eyes were dim, time had given him precious wealth, and he was also the one who saw the overall situation of the Hidden Mist Village most clearly.

"The Hidden Mist Village... is going to be in trouble." He said tremblingly.

He deeply understood how irresistible and difficult it was for Hashirama Senju, or a ninja who used the name of Hashirama Senju but also had the strength of Hashirama Senju, to do something.

This was definitely not a change of the same level as that of Hozuki Huanyue.

This was a real change.

This was a change that would turn the entire Hidden Mist Village upside down.

"Why?" The ninja who was responsible for reading the report couldn't help asking.

The report didn't say that the Hidden Mist Village was going to be in trouble, right?

He turned the report to the paragraph that the master had been asking him to repeat.

There, there was only a rough introduction to the establishment of the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Waves and the system of the Hidden Mist Village, as well as a retelling of what Hashirama Senju had said.

"If I'm not mistaken... Mei Terumi should still be alive..." He kept shaking his head.

"Change... Change..."

The master muttered. As an undoubted conservative, he hated Mei Terumi, just as he hated the word "change". Mei Terumi, who was determined to lead the Hidden Mist Village out of its isolation, was actually unwelcome in the eyes of the master.

This was also the main reason why Yagura Karatachi had died for several years in the original work, and the master did not pass the position of the fifth generation Mizukage to Mei Terumi who was about to attend the meeting until the Five Kage Conference was held.

He trembled and stretched out his hand, and the person next to him quickly caught it.

"Any instructions, Master?"

"Ask Yugao and Harusame to come over..."
