Chapter 412: Would rather die than retreat(1/2)
Qianye didn't even think about forcing Nagato to act under Akatsuki's name: "Nagato, Akatsuki officially belongs to an employment organization in the ninja world, so let's continue to participate in the reform of the ninja world as an employment organization."
Iwagakure is a regular customer of the Akatsuki organization.
Part of the funds stored by the Akatsuki organization come from Iwagakure Village.
Qianye is going to give Akatsuki a mission in the name of the Fourth Mizukage, asking them to raid Iwagakure Village.
The purpose of doing this is to intensify the struggle between the ninja villages.
The Akatsuki organization has many transactions with Iwagakure, so it must be reasonable to inadvertently reveal the information about the Yondaime Mizukage's employment to the ninjas of Iwagakure.
Iwagakure Village and Kirigakure Village are thousands of miles apart, and there is a blood feud between the two ninja villages. Kirigakure Village, which is isolated overseas, wants to cause some trouble for Iwagakure Village, so it entrusts Akatsuki. Is this reasonable?
After Iwagakure knows that the Akatsuki organization is employed by Kirigakure, will it in turn pay a high price to hire Akatsuki to destroy other ninja villages?
In addition to hiring Akatsuki to destroy other ninja villages and delay their progress, you can also hire Akatsuki to attack the noble forces.
If she attacks the noble master, Xiao can still make a lot of money.
Would Ohnoki of Iwagakure Village do this?
One hundred percent yes!
Even ninja villages such as Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure would think of hiring Akatsuki for Qianya to cause some trouble for other ninja villages and the nobles within.
Just because they were held down by Qianye so hard that they couldn't lift their heads, it didn't mean that they didn't have any ideas.
Otherwise, Luo Sha would not have been able to search for the Loulan royal family's legacy and use the energy of the dragon veins to create a more powerful puppet army.
At that time, Qianye can issue a wanted order against the Akatsuki organization and complete the separation of relations with Akatsuki openly.
Who would have thought that the Akatsuki organization would actually be Qianye's general?
The large sums of money that these shinobi villages spill out can also become Konoha's new development funds.
This move of benefiting oneself at the expense of others allowed Qianye to win twice.
A single Akatsuki organization is not enough, because the Akatsuki organization's market positioning is on the side of ninjas, and the fat sheep of the aristocracy cannot fail, and a new organization must be formed.
You can completely divide Akatsuki into two, and call it Akatsuki on the surface, and another organization in the dark.
This organization can only accept tasks assigned by nobles.
The new organization can in turn wreak havoc on the ninja forces.
Wouldn't it be nice to have money at both ends?
When Qianye laid out this plan, Nagato and Konan's expressions changed on the spot, and they had a completely new understanding of Qianye's insidious... resourcefulness.
Nagato humbly asked: "Lord the Fifth Hokage, what should the new organization be called?"
Qianye snapped his fingers and smiled: "Let's call the new organization Shell."
"Meaning the hard shell that protects the seeds of hope."
"Absorb external funds and vigorously develop yourself!"
...
Five days have passed since I talked with Nagato and Konan.
Before the Scorpions and Horns were delivered, Qianye had quietly arrived at the border between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind.
The ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom are sandwiched between the two countries.
There are shady green forests in front and continuous yellow sand behind.
Looking far into the distance, one can see a lifeless ruin standing in the vast sea of scalding sand.
The architecture of Loulan Kingdom is very unique, with clusters of towers towering into the sky, and their height has reached the level of those high-rise buildings in previous generations.
In the past, these towers were lined up one after another, and the rooms inside were like stars. One can imagine how prosperous Loulan was as an important transit station for merchants.
But all this has become a thing of the past, and it died mysteriously on the eve of the Third Ninja War.
Now Loulan is in ruins and ruins, becoming an empty ruins that no one cares about.
If nothing unexpected happens, after a hundred years, Loulan will be wiped away by the endless yellow sand in the sea of sand, leaving only sporadic traces.
"Lord Hokage, I saw that there are 58 Sand Ninjas in the Loulan ruins. According to their chakra levels, there are 33 Genin, 22 Chunin, and three Jonin.
Some of them have already taken control of the location of the Dragon Vein Ruins, and some are making puppets." Hinata Huma, no, it was Hinata Ye who lifted his Byakugan and knelt down behind Qianye to report.
There are eucalyptus leaves in the internal structure of Loulan Kingdom.
At that time, Minato Namikaze, who had not yet become the Fourth Hokage, took his students Kakashi Hatake, Choza Akimichi and Shiya Aburame to lurk into Loulan to stop An Lushan's conspiracy.
The configuration of Konoha's personnel is also very interesting.
The abilities of Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiya both have a strong restraint effect on the puppet master.
Even Konoha knows everything about the situation inside Loulan, let alone Sunagakure Village?
In the end, Namikaze Minato directly sealed the dragon vein, obviously because he did not want the dragon vein to be used by Sunagakure Village again.
"Have you seen the traces of the Loulan royal family?"
"Lord Hokage, no trace of the Loulan royal family has been found, and no trace of the Fourth Kazekage has been found."
"Huo Jian, you continue to lead people to search for the legacy of the Loulan royal family. They should not be too far from here."
In the original book, there was a riot in Dragon Vein, and the descendants of Queen Sarah of Loulan arrived nearby not long after. It can be imagined that after abandoning Loulan, they did not go far away, but lived in seclusion nearby.
"Your will is above all else." Ri Xiangye put his right fist on his chest and used the teleportation technique to leave.
He led the ninjas from the Hinata, Akimichi, and Inuzuka clans to scatter in all directions, searching for the legacy of the Loulan royal family in the vast sea of sand.
"The rest of you," Qianye looked at the dilapidated and desolate ruins in the distance, his eyelids slightly closed: "Follow me and take over the Loulan ruins."
"Your will is above all else!"
...
Inside the Loulan ruins.
The ninjas in Sunagakure Village were idle and chatting quietly.
"Hey, do you think this thing planned by the Yondaime Kazekage-sama can really succeed?"
"Elder Chiyo said that this is our Sunagakure Village's only chance. Only by using the energy of the dragon's veins to create more powerful puppets can we slowly regain our lost voice from Konoha."
"The Fifth Hokage of Konoha is too strong. Are these puppets we created really useful?"
"Okay, let's say these useless depressing words. No matter how strong the Fifth Hokage is, he is only one person. It is no joke for us puppet masters to face ordinary ninjas!"
"That's right, Elder Chiyo and Elder Ebizo have led our puppet masters to develop a new type of puppet. Now we can put it into production after the fourth generation Kazekage-sama brings back the bloodline of the Loulan royal family."
"Hope everything goes well."
"There must be no problem. I heard from the brothers who went out to search this morning that they have locked the opponent's den. I think we can bring them back before dark today."
"Huh, I hope nothing goes wrong at such a critical moment."
"Don't worry, the group of ninja monks in the Fire Country are running around and wreaking havoc. The Fifth Hokage of Konoha has not even had time to get a headache. He has no time to pay attention to us."
"That's true, and there are still a large number of ninjas in Konoha involved in the River Kingdom. After the ninjas in Konoha were purged by the fifth generation, their numbers are withering, and they definitely don't have the energy to pay attention to us."
"Damn it, it seems that the River Country is destined to become the naan in the Fire Country's belly. We are becoming increasingly incomprehensible in this world."
"Where do you think the ninja world will go in the future?"
"Who knows, but it is certain that there will be a Fifth Ninja War in the future. I hope Konoha will lose the battles continuously."
"These things are too far away from us. There are still a group of scoundrels in the village who want to be Konoha's dogs. When we refine the new puppets, we must rectify them!"
While they were talking, a warning flare suddenly rose in the sky.
The dark red signal bomb exploded in mid-air, and except for the Sand Ninja who stayed in the underground ruins, all the other Sand Ninjas saw it.
"No, there's something wrong."
"Let's go, I want to see which stupid thief with no eyesight is rushing over to die!"
"Could it be a ninja from Konoha?"
"Even if they are really ninjas of Konoha, we will kill them!"
Their figures disappeared in a flash. If you zoomed in, you could see figures like black dots constantly walking through the ruins.
Soon, Suna Ninja arrived at the location where the signal flare was launched.
The leading Jonin is named Ci Liang, who is nearly forty years old. His face is painted with purple paint, and he has a square face and thick lips.
He is a puppet master who can control five puppets at the same time to fight. He is very powerful. He is loyal to Luo Sha and has won Luo Sha's trust.
"Lord Ci Liang, where did the enemy come from?"
The other sand ninjas stationed in Loulan also looked at Ci Liang.
When everyone saw Ci Liang's serious expression, their hearts twitched, could it be...
"He's a ninja from Konoha."
These few words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, exploding in their ears.
To be continued...
