Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 705 Rejection
The Land of Rain, Six Paths City.

"The Ninja Clan is developing better and better. Iwagakure and Sunagakure actually held the exchange meeting in Liudao Castle. Are they trying to express their support for the Ninja Clan?"

"But didn't Iwagakure and Sunagakure sign a peace treaty with Konoha a few months ago? Is war going to break out again?"

"Who knows when the five major ninja villages have ever completely quieted down."

After Iwagakure and Sunagakure announced the news and sent ninjas into Six Paths Castle, various discussions continued in the castle.

Most people believed that Iwagakure and Sunagakure were supporting the Ninja Clan, and that the two major ninja villages wanted to join forces with the Ninja Clan to deal with Konoha and Kirigakure.

At first, some people thought that the Ninja Sect was not very good, but after careful consideration, they found that the Ninja Sect was not simple.

On the surface, apart from the powerful leader, there is nothing else outstanding about the Ninja Clan.

But if you think about it carefully, the dead Hanzo, the increasingly close cooperation between the Rain Village and the Ninja Clan, and the newly established Ninja Clan branch in the Land of Birds.

Perhaps the Ninja Clan can actually mobilize more ninjas than smaller ninja villages with stronger strength like the Kusagakure.

Moreover, the powerful leader of the Ninja Clan has a huge advantage. Even the Third Hokage was defeated. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the strongest record in the current Ninja world.

Of course, guesses are just guesses.

In fact, neither the Ninja Clan nor the Iwagakure and Sunagakure had any idea of ​​engaging in in-depth cooperation.

The situation on the Ninja Clan's side is very simple. In Mu Yue's plan, there will be no room for negotiation unless all five major Ninja villages are convinced and willing to live in peace together.

Until then, the Ninja Clan will remain neutral.

The situation on the Iwagakure and Sunagakure sides is a bit complicated. They set the exchange meeting in Liudao Castle in order to attract attention.

In fact, Iwagakure and Sunagakure have secretly sent ninjas to the Land of Lightning.

It is indeed a three-party alliance, but it is not Iwagakure, Sunagakure and the Shinobi Clan, but the three major ninja villages of Iwagakure, Sunagakure and Kumogakure.

Compared to the ninja clans that would grab the cake, Iwagakure and Sunagakure are more inclined to Kumogakure.

They attacked each other during the Third Ninja World War, but even the strongest Konoha was strengthening its contacts with its allies, so the three major ninja villages had to temporarily put aside their previous hatreds.

In order not to arouse Konoha's vigilance, Iwagakure and Sunagakure deliberately arranged this.

However, Iwagakure and Sunagakure did a good job of putting on a show, and indeed sent many talented ninjas from the village. The captains of the exchange meeting were also the more famous ninjas in the village.

After Chiyo led the team to Liudao Castle, she left all the work to her deputy. She only came to see Scorpion, not to really work.

On the first day Chiyo arrived at the Ninja Clan, she asked the Clan Ninja for information about Sasori.

To her surprise, the ninja she asked didn't know Scorpion.

Chiyo was puzzled by this. With Scorpion's ability, how could he remain unknown in the Ninja Clan?

However, Chiyo didn't care too much. She thought that Sasori might be worried that the Sunagakure people would pursue the Ninja Clan. After all, if you really want to count, Sasori is considered a traitor to the Sunagakure people.

So Chiyo used her identity to express her desire to meet Scorpion to the top leaders of the Ninja Clan, and this time there was no accident.

After the Ninja Clan confirmed Scorpion's idea, they quickly gave a reply and arranged a specific time.

On the day of the meeting.

Chiyo specially picked out the casual clothes that Scorpion wore most often when she was in the Sand Village, and packed them up in advance before going to the reception room of the Ninja Clan.

For Chiyo, this meeting is very important. If she fails, she will lose the last of her bloodline.

She even thought about knocking Scorpion out and taking him away, but quickly gave up.

Because she knows Scorpion well, she knows that this will not solve the problem unless she imprisons Scorpion forever, otherwise doing so will only make the situation worse.

After entering the reception room, Chiyo looked at the familiar yet slightly strange red-haired boy, and was a little dazed for a moment.

What was familiar was that Scorpion's appearance had not changed much, and he was still the grandson he was familiar with.

What was strange was that the usually cold Scorpio was actually chatting with someone she was not familiar with like a friend.

"Scorpion, did you learn puppetry from your grandmother?"

"Yes, what? You want to say, 'So you are the grandson of a legendary puppeteer. No wonder you are so good at puppetry'?"

"No, but your grandmother is indeed very famous. Even someone like me who doesn't know much about puppetry has heard of it."

"What's the point of being famous? Will your enemies let you go just because of your teacher's fame?"

Hearing this, the light in Chiyo's eyes dimmed a little.

As soon as Scorpion said this, Chiyo knew that her chances of success today were slim.

"Scorpion, how are you doing recently? Is there anything in the Rain Country that you find unaccustomed to?" Chiyo calmed down and asked Scorpion with an extremely kind smile.

"It's okay, nothing strange." Scorpion turned to look at Chiyo and replied.

With his strength, how could he not notice Chiyo's arrival? What he just said was deliberately meant for Chiyo to hear.

Scorpion was not surprised that Chiyo knew that he was in the Ninja Clan. Firstly, he did not hide his identity in the Ninja Clan and Six Paths Castle, and secondly, it was the matter of the puppet prosthesis.

But Chiyo came to me suddenly, which is worth thinking about.

After thinking about it carefully, Scorpion felt that Chiyo might want him to return to the Sand Village.

But it is impossible for Scorpion to go back with Chiyo. Scorpion does not blame Chiyo for the death of his parents. This has nothing to do with Chiyo.

It’s because of the Third Kazekage. Scorpion had killed the Third Kazekage and transformed him into a human puppet.

In other words, the Sand Village doesn't know about it now. If they knew, Scorpion would immediately become the most wanted criminal in the Sand Village, let alone return to the Village.

If this incident hadn't happened, Scorpio might not have gone back, but if this incident had happened, Scorpio would definitely not go back.

If the truth comes out, Chiyo will be implicated because of him.

"Could you please step out for a moment? I have some private matters to discuss with Scorpion." Chiyo looked at Nagato and said.

Even though she is Scorpion's grandmother, it is still too much to poach him in front of him.

"Yeah." Nagato nodded and walked out of the reception room, leaving the space to his grandmother and grandson.

After Nagato left, Chiyo quickly formed hand seals to condense chakra and quickly set up a simple small barrier. Then she looked at Scorpion and said:
"Scorpion, come back to the Sand Village with me. It will be very dangerous to stay in the Ninja Clan."

"It's okay even if you don't want to go back to the Sand Village, but don't stay in the Ninja Clan any longer. The Ninja Clan is heading towards the abyss, and this is a road that cannot be traveled."

Chiyo really doesn't have a good impression of the Ninja Clan. During the Second Ninja World War, the Rain Village had already proved how difficult it was to become the sixth largest ninja force.

The Ninja Clan has to face not just one big ninja village, but all the big ninja villages around it.

In other words, the Ninja Clan has not reached that critical point yet. If the time really comes, Chiyo has no doubt that the three major ninja villages of Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure will take action together.

They may not necessarily form a coalition, but they will definitely send out ninja troops.

"Is there a ninja village that is completely non-dangerous?" Scorpion asked.

The profession of ninja itself is a profession that lives on the edge of a knife.

"You know, this is different." Chiyo shook her head.

How can the danger of a ninja's mission be equated with such a big war?

"In my opinion, it is more meaningful to stay in the Ninja Clan." Scorpion replied calmly. "You know, the goal of the Ninja Clan is actually peace in the Ninja World, not to become the strongest ninja force, or to dominate the Ninja World."

"There are many ninja organizations in the ninja world that have this goal." Chiyo said.

"But the Ninja Clan did it." Scorpion said with a serious look.

"Under the governance of the Ninja Clan, the Rain Country has truly become peaceful, and domestic security is even better than that of the Wind Country."

Scorpion recounts the changes that the Ninja Clan has brought to the Rain Country since its establishment.

"Because this is their own country," Chiyo retorted.

She didn't believe that there were so many true pacifists in the world. If there really were, how could the ninja world be full of constant wars?

“They’re doing the same thing in Bird Country.”

“This is expansion.”

It was the actions of the Ninja Clan in the Land of Birds that aroused the vigilance of the Sunagakure. If left unchecked and allowed to do the same in every small country, the Ninja Clan's strength would expand rapidly.

"Since you said so, there is no need to talk any further. You can't convince me to return to the Sand Village, and I can't convince you to understand the special nature of the Ninja Clan." Scorpion replied calmly.

During these days in the Ninja Clan, Scorpion, as a bystander, clearly saw what the Ninja Clan was doing.

Not to mention Chiyo, even some ordinary Shinobi from the Shinobi clan may not understand the Shinobi clan as well as he does.

Chiyo was speechless.

She originally thought that Scorpion joined the Ninja Clan for some special reason, but she didn't expect that Scorpion simply recognized the Ninja Clan.

"Can we talk again in a couple of days?" Chiyo felt that nothing could be achieved from the conversation today.

"I don't think it's necessary."

"Just think of it as keeping me company as an old widower, okay?"

“I don’t necessarily have the time.”

After hearing Scorpion's last words, Chiyo felt temporarily relieved and said goodbye to Scorpion and left.

Twenty seconds after Chiyo left, Nagato returned to the reception room.

"What's wrong?" Nagato asked with concern.

He saw that Qian Dai was not in a good mood, and it didn't seem like they were having a pleasant conversation with long-lost relatives.

"What else can you do? If your relatives were captured by some ninja force, would you be happy?" Scorpion said.

"According to the conditions given by the teacher, Scorpion, your sentence is about to expire." Nagato said after thinking for a while.

Mu Yue's condition is that if Scorpion can help the Ninja Clan master puppet prosthetic technology, then his sentence can be reduced by five years, and Nagato has the right to help Scorpion reduce his sentence by up to four years.

Nagato was very satisfied with Scorpion's performance and had already reduced his sentence to the maximum extent possible.

Scorpion only needs to successfully help a Shinobi from the Ninja Clan master puppet prosthetic technology, and his sentence will end immediately.

"Do you think it's easy to teach those idiots puppetry?" Scorpion said dissatisfiedly, then stood up and walked towards the laboratory alone.

Nagato looked confused, not understanding how he had offended Scorpion just now.

……

The Kingdom of Thunder, a western port town.

While the entire ninja world's attention was on Six Paths Castle, Sand Village and Iwagakure sent ninjas to the Land of Lightning.

In order to reduce the risk of exposure, they did not even choose any large ninja village as the meeting place, but the western port of the Land of Lightning.

"The Ninja Clan has evil ambitions, and Konoha and Kirigakure have big plans. I'm afraid a new war will be coming soon." Yashamaru spoke first.

As he spoke, Yashamaru carefully observed the expressions of the Iwagakure and Kumogakure representatives out of the corner of his eye, paying special attention to the Kumogakure representative.

The Land of Lightning is not like the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Rain, which border each other. Even if the Rain Village becomes the sixth largest ninja force, the impact it has on the Village of Kumogakure will not be as great as that on the Village of Iwagakure and the Village of Sand.

The most important thing is that the Ninja Clan will definitely not be able to become the real sixth largest ninja force in the short term, so Yashamaru also brought up Konoha and Kirigakure.

The Ninja Clan was unable to influence Kumogakure for a long time, but Konoha could. Yashamaru didn't believe that Kumogakure wasn't worried that Konoha would become the only super ninja village.

As Yashamaru expected, the Kumogakure representative's expression turned somewhat grim.

"That's right. At such a critical moment, our three major ninja villages must work together and not let Konoha succeed." Tsuchidai said.

The people within Kumogakure are actually aware of the potential of the Ninja Clan, but they generally believe that the Ninja Clan's potential cannot be realized.

If Konoha received the full help of Kirigakure and their three major ninja villages joined forces, the final result would be unpredictable.

"Recently, our Lord Tsuchikage took a personal risk and obtained a very important piece of information." As soon as Lieshi opened his mouth, the meeting room instantly became quiet.

Yashamaru and Dodai looked at the cracked stone in surprise and curiosity.

If what Riishi said was true, the fact that the Tsuchikage took the risk himself was important information.

And what level of information would it be if the Tsuchikage had to take risks to obtain it?

"Sosuke is actually underestimated."

Yashamaru and Dodai looked puzzled. Now some people say that Sosuke is the strongest ninja in the ninja world. Is he still being looked down upon?

"Sosuke has a strength far beyond that of the Kage. If we have to describe his strength, he is another Ninja God." Lishi said seriously.

Originally, Iwagakure wanted to hide the information and trap the Sunagakure, but the Sunagakure would not be fooled for the time being, and the situation in the ninja world changed.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Iwagakure decided to release the intelligence on the Ninja Clan that they had discovered.

Anyway, the Sand Village has not been betrayed yet, and the Sand Village cannot give up the powerful ally of Iwagakure just because Iwagakure might betray them.

"God of Ninja!" Dodai looked shocked.

Defeating Sarutobi Hiruzen and becoming the God of Ninja are two different concepts.

For example, the Third Raikage. There may be some Kumogakure ninjas who think that their own Raikage is stronger than the Third Hokage, but no one would ever think that the Third Raikage’s strength could rival that of the God of Ninja.

Even Mu Yue, who shined brightly in the Ninja World War, was only considered to have the potential to be the God of Ninjas, but not equal to the God of Ninjas.

Yashamaru's expression was even more interesting, with surprise and a hint of relief.

You should know that the Sand Village has been discussing how to deal with the Ninja Clan recently.

If a fight really breaks out, there will be no problem for Sunagakure to destroy the Ninja Clan, but if Sosuke retaliates with all his strength, Sunagakure will definitely be defeated.

This is revenge from the God of Ninja.

As for whether the information was true or not, Yashamaru couldn't think of any reason why Iwagakure would come up with false information.

In order to let Sand Village and Kumogakure temporarily put aside Konoha and deal with the Ninja Clan?

The Sand Village has always had a conflict of interest with the Shinobi Clan. As for the Kumo Village, if this was false information, there would be no need for the Kumo Village at all. The Sand Village and the Iwagakure would be able to send the Shinobi Clan away safely without any surprises.
