Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 685: Tsuchikage Goes In Person
The Land of Rain, Six Paths City.

A group of ninjas wearing turbans and forehead protectors from the Sand Village walked into Rokudo Castle.

The arrival of the Sand Village team did not attract the attention of the Shinobi clan ninjas or the residents of Rokudo Castle.

Ever since the news of Sosuke's victory over Sarutobi Hiruzen spread, Rokudo Castle quickly became more lively than ever.

Many people came to buy houses, and they bet that the Ninja Clan could withstand the pressure from Konoha.

By then, Six Paths Castle will not only be the safest place in the Rain Country, but may even be one of the safest places in the Ninja World, and housing prices will definitely soar.

There are also many people who are selling their houses, and even more. Many people feel that a small ninja organization like the Ninja Clan cannot withstand the wrath of the five major ninja villages.

Even if the leader is strong enough and the battle continues, the final winner will only be Konoha.

The people of the Rain Country are very familiar with this process. After all, they have experienced it once.

In addition to those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, many ninjas were curious about Sosuke, who was able to defeat the Third Hokage, and came to watch the fun.

Of course, intelligence ninjas from various ninja villages or ninja forces are also indispensable.

"This Rokudo Castle is so bustling. How long has this town been built? Three years? It's incredible." A Sunagakure ninja exclaimed.

He felt that Rokudo Castle was more lively than the Sand Village, even though it was just a town founded by a small force that had just emerged.

"Lively? This kind of liveliness is not a good thing." Yashamaru shook his head slightly.

At the moment when the five major ninja villages have ceased fighting, Six Paths Castle, which has a huge conflict with Konoha, can be said to be the center of the vortex of the entire ninja world.

Due to the potential shown by the Ninja Clan, not only Konoha, but also the ninja forces around the Ninja Clan probably don't want the Ninja Clan to have an easy time.

"Let's start our mission, don't waste time, we don't have much time." Yashamaru said.

They came to Liudao City not to speculate in real estate, but to sow discord between the Shinobi Clan and the Iwagakure, and to win the Iwagakure over to their side.

The Sand Villagers nodded and began to look for the Iwagakure ninjas.

In fact, it was not just their team that came from Sunagakure. It’s just that the other team did not wear Sunagakure uniforms, but entered the Six Paths Castle in disguise.

The two teams need to do different things.

The mission of the Yashamaru team is to contact the person in charge of Iwagakure in Rokudo Castle, then tell the other party about the dangers of the Ninja Clan and initially express the intention to cooperate.

But this is just the first step.

Although interests come first and everything else comes second, Iwagakure has cooperated with the Ninja Clan for quite a while after all. Rasa did not expect Yashamaru to be able to convince Iwagakure directly by talking.

The Sand Village team that came in disguise is the key point.

They will frame the Ninja Clan in order to alienate the relationship between Iwagakure and the Ninja Clan.

When cracks appear in the cooperation between Iwagakure and the Shinobi Clan, if Sunagakure increases its efforts, the cooperation between the Shinobi Clan and Iwagakure will be difficult to maintain.

However, in order to avoid being exposed and preventing the actions from being discovered by the Iwagakure and the Ninja Clan, time is very important.

If Sunagakure was rejected by Iwagakure and something happened to the Ninja Clan the next day, Iwagakure would easily become suspicious of Sunagakure.

The estrangement and contact with Yashamaru from Iwagakure must be done at the same time.

This, coupled with the Sand Village's covert operations, greatly reduced the possibility of being exposed.

When Iwagakure investigated, they could only find out that only one team of Sunagakure entered Rokudo Castle that day and went looking for them.

In order to reduce the possibility of being exposed, the two Sand Village teams did not even contact each other, but simply agreed on a time to take action.

Only when it is impossible to complete the task within the agreed time will we contact the other party to inform them that the task is temporarily suspended.

That's why Yashamaru said they didn't have much time.

Of course, it is not too troublesome to find someone openly, otherwise the task would be too difficult to complete.

"Huh? There are ninjas in Liudao Castle who are good at puppetry?" A puppeteer Jonin was stunned after seeing the arm of a Shinobi from the Shinobi Clan.

Although that arm looks very much like a real arm, a prosthesis is still a prosthesis after all. For someone like him who deals with puppets every day, he can still recognize it if he looks carefully.

The Sand Village puppeteer was very surprised. Transforming the human body is not a simple technology.

The Shinobi clan ninja saw the Sunagakure ninja staring at his arm and wanted to promote his own surgery.

Now, due to the limited production of prosthetic limbs and the fact that only Scorpion can perform the surgery, extremely expensive fees will be charged to everyone except the Ninja Clan's own people.

After seeing the forehead protector on his head, the Shinobi clan ninja gave up the idea of ​​selling.

The Sand Village is a holy land of puppetry and the ninja force with the most advanced puppetry in the entire ninja world.

The prosthetic limbs of their Ninja Clan are obviously a kind of puppet technology. It would be bad if the commercial secrets were stolen by the Sand Village.

Although the Sand Village Puppet Master was curious, he had a mission to accomplish, so he had to suppress his curiosity and continue with his mission.

With the quick action of Yashamaru and others, they soon found Iwagakure.

Then, Yashamaru revealed his identity as the brother-in-law of the Fourth Kazekage at the right time, and smoothly met the person in charge of Iwagakure in Six Paths Castle - Iwagakure Jonin Kakou.

"After taking control of the Rain Country, the Ninja Clan quickly took action against the Bird Country with great ambitions..." Yashamaru began to tell the Ninja Clan's evil ambitions as planned.

But what Yashamaru didn't expect was that Huoguang didn't show an angry look and scolded him for destroying the friendship between the Ninja Clan and Iwagakure. Instead, he showed a smile with a hint of surprise. Yashamaru paused for a moment, and continued after making sure that he had said the right thing.

Huo Guang politely waited for Yashamaru to finish before speaking, "You are absolutely right. I felt the same way. I didn't expect that other forces have noticed the ambitions of the Ninja Clan."

Yashamaru:?

Is there any need to alienate the Ninja Clan and the Hidden Rock Village? It's just a superficial cooperation.

These two forces have never been combined, so how can they be separated?

Yashamaru was a little confused. How could his plan to alienate Ichirō end just when he had just taken the first step?

"Lord Yashamaru." Just as Yashamaru was about to discuss cooperation between the two villages with Huo Guang, a Sand Village member who was on standby outside walked over with an anxious look on his face.

"Sorry, excuse me for a moment." Yashamaru said apologetically, then walked towards the Sand Village ninja.

"Something terrible has happened. Another team has been arrested by the Shinobi clan ninjas. The plan has failed." The Sand Village ninja whispered.

Yashamaru: ...

This plan went both smoothly and unsuccessfully.

"Don't be nervous. It seems that the Iwagakure doesn't want the Ninja Clan to become stronger anymore." Yashamaru comforted.

Just be caught. If he can reach an agreement with Iwagakure, then his mission will be accomplished.

Then Yashamaru talked a lot with Kaguya.

Together, the two denounced the Ninja Clan's ambitions, worrying that the Ninja Clan would have a bad influence on the Ninja world that had just entered peace.

However, whenever Yashamaru mentioned cooperation, Huo Guang became vague and did not express his opinion until the end, only saying that he would ask the Tsuchikage for instructions.

Yashamaru was not angry about this. After all, he came to seek cooperation and was already prepared for this.

It would be better to say that the current situation is already very good, and they almost completed the mission relying on this team alone.

Yashamaru was sent away by the firelight and quickly convened a meeting of Iwagakure, then sent the matters of Sand Village to Iwagakure.

"Huo Guang did a good job this time." Oonoki smiled after reading the information.

Iwagakure also has the idea of ​​joining forces with Sunagakure, but when it comes to cooperation, the party being sought will definitely have more advantages.

So the move of Huo Guang was very good, as it not only showed that Iwagakure was dissatisfied with the Ninja Clan, but also showed an attitude of being unsure and somewhat wavering.

"In this case, there should be no problem with the Sand Village, but it will be a bit difficult to break the situation with the small ninja village of Kusagakure." Ohnoki showed a thoughtful expression.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Iwagakure secretly reached a cooperation with the leader of Kusagakure, and the Kusagakure Village secretly helped Iwagakure.

Later, Konoha intervened and destroyed the cooperation between the two parties. The former Kusagakure leader turned into a monster and was killed. The Kusagakure and Iwagakure turned against each other, and the Kusagakure in turn helped Konoha fight against Iwagakure.

With the strength of Iwagakure, it would be easy to take over the Kusagakure Village. Not all small countries have a strong man like Sosuke.

But when beating a dog, you have to look at its owner. Now the Kusagakure Village can barely be considered Konoha's younger brother, so we cannot use violence against it.

In fact, for the Iwagakure Village, the joining of the Kusagakure Village is not important. It just saves some cannon fodder and middle-level ninjas, which will not affect the overall situation.

What Ohnoki really cares about is Konoha's attitude, or the information about the Ninja Clan hidden behind Konoha's attitude.

If the Kusagakure Village is determined not to take action against the Ninja Clan, could it be the will of Konoha?
How did Sarutobi Hiruzen lose that battle, and why did he let Mu Yue succeed him as Hokage directly?

"Since we will be standing on the opposite side of the Ninja Clan in the future, why not take advantage of our existing friendship and use it to gather intelligence." An idea suddenly occurred to Ohnoki.

He found himself in a blind spot in his thinking, and had been trying to find out the battle process from the Ninja Clan and Konoha.

In fact, as an ally of the Ninja Clan, he didn't need to do so. He could send someone or go to the Ninja Clan himself, saying that he wanted to see the strength of the Ninja Master and have a friendly exchange.

Given the current relationship between Iwagakure and the Ninja Clan, can Sosuke still refuse?
The relationship between Iwagakure and the Ninja Clan is not like that between the Ninja Clan and Konoha. Even if the strong man on the Iwagakure side loses, the Iwagakure side can ask the Ninja Clan to keep it secret.

In this way, even if the information is obtained, he will not lose face and can set the pace like Sarutobi Hiruzen did.

As for whether the Ninja Clan will reveal the news after the war breaks out, it doesn’t matter.

They have already started a war, why would they care about this little negative news?

"I'd better go first." After thinking it over, Ohnoki decided that it would be better for him to go by himself.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen lost to Sosuke, so if other people were to fight him they might not be able to test out Sosuke's true abilities.

He was confident that his strength was no less than Sarutobi Hiruzen's, and that he could certainly obtain the same intelligence that Sarutobi Hiruzen could from the battle.

Thinking of this, Ohnoki quickly convened a high-level meeting to discuss the matter.

After a discussion, Ōnoki's proposal was recognized by most of the senior management.

Although Iwagakure was preparing to turn against the Ninja Clan, the situation had not yet turned against them. What danger could there be in having a friendly sparring match with an ally? The worst that could happen was that they could just bring a few more guards.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had a grudge against the Ninja Clan, was able to successfully return to Konoha, it was certainly impossible for their Third Tsuchikage to be kept in the Ninja Clan.
