More than ten hours have passed since Kirigakure's coup.

The battle in Kirigakure Village has not yet ended, and the sounds of fighting can still be heard from somewhere.

Although the main force of the Blood Mist Sect has been extinguished, there are still some die-hards who do not want to surrender and plan to fight to the end.

However, Yagura does not need to personally lead the team to eliminate them in the next battle. The Blood Mist Sect is about to be destroyed, and the most important thing is the current village reconstruction work.

Because most of the Kirigakure area was previously shrouded in smoke, many places were severely damaged due to the fighting, including important facilities such as the Mizukage Building.

Among them, the area where he fought with the Third Mizukage was the most serious disaster area. With the continuous large-scale destructive water escape techniques and the bombing of tailed beast tama, all the buildings and streets were completely destroyed, leaving only

Ruins like debris.

On the small reef island a little north of Kirigakure Village, the sea breeze blew gently across the island.

Yagura waved his left arm gently. This left arm was cut off by the Third Mizukage with the blade of water. At this moment, it has been completely connected to the shoulder and is intact as before.

"I didn't expect that your medical ninjutsu has reached this level. I was already prepared to use prosthetic limbs."

He looked at Shiraishi, who had used medical ninjutsu on him to reattach his broken left arm, and expressed admiration in his tone.

He believed that even Tsunade-hime, one of the Sannin of Konoha, might not be able to do this.

Compared to Konoha's medical technology, Kirigakure's medical technology is even less likely to reach this level.

Thinking that Shiraishi had treated Yuri Lin's injury that had made many people feel helpless, Yagura had a more intuitive understanding of Shiraishi's medical ability.

Shiraishi watched Yagura swinging his newly recovered left arm, and struck a blow: "I advise you not to move that arm randomly in the next half month, otherwise I can't guarantee that the arm will not

Falling down again. Moreover, the jutsu I just used is essentially different from medical ninjutsu. It is the magic of Shigulin to transform life."

"The legendary Slug Immortal? I didn't expect you to sign a contract with Shigulin."

Yagura was quite surprised.

But I felt relieved when I thought that Shiraishi was once one of Tsunade's students, and maybe the contract with Shigulin was introduced by Tsunade.

Shiraishi didn't intend to explain more, because this kind of thing was insignificant to his subsequent cooperation with Yagura.

"Compared to this, you are the one who really surprised me."

"What?"

"You can control the Three-Tails thing."

Shiraishi really didn't expect that Yagura would control the Three-Tails and become the perfect Jinchuuriki.

Because as far as he knew, Kumo Hidden Village in the Kingdom of Thunder was the ninja village that had the most thorough research on tailed beasts, and Hidden Kumo Village had always been the most complete in developing the power of tailed beasts.

Unexpectedly, Yagura was able to perfectly control the power of the three tails despite the incomplete research on tailed beasts in Kirigakure Village.

I have to say that this really surprised Shiraishi.

This also means that Yagura, who is a human, and the tailed beast, who is hostile to humans and regards humans as despicable people, have become close friends who can open up each other's hearts.

"I don't want Kirigakure's intelligence system to be completely penetrated by you like Konoha did."

Yagura glanced at Shiraishi speechlessly.

No matter how long he has been hiding in secret for the sake of becoming the Fourth Mizukage and destroying the Blood Mist Sect, if Shiraishi learns about everything, he will be really inferior as the future Fourth Mizukage.

"I'm just collecting some symbolic information to nip problems in the bud."

Shiraishi shrugged his shoulders, because he was once a Konoha ninja, so he knew the power of Konoha better than Yagura.

There are indeed many problems within that village, but the flaws are not concealed, and Konoha's strength is genuine.

Whether it is a top ninja or a hardcore ninja, they must surpass the rest of the ninja village.

Coupled with the abundant resources of the Fire Nation, sufficient development funds, and maintaining a good cooperative relationship with the Fire Nation's daimyo and other important national officials, Konoha's military strength has been steadily increasing in many cases, rather than regressing.

"By the way, I haven't had time to ask, what's the current situation in Konoha?"

Yagura suddenly remembered something and asked Shiraishi this question.

Due to internal strife, Kirigakure Village's strength has been greatly reduced. It does not have a few years of development time and it will be difficult to recover.

For this reason, he needs a shield that can attract the attention of all parties and reduce Kirigakure's presence.

Konoha is the most suitable candidate.

"The Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato died. If Kumogakure does not change his strategy, I believe that within the next month, troops will be launched against Konoha again."

"Did you even sacrifice the Hokage himself? The noise you made this time was a bit too much."

Yagura was slightly startled, he didn't expect Shiraishi's handiwork to be so big.

With a great reputation as a Kyoshi, Yellow Flash can be said to be the most popular ninja in the ninja world in recent years.

With the power of one person, he ended the Iwagakure battlefield.

Then, with thunderous speed, he blocked Yunyin in the Kingdom of Tang, making it impossible for Yunyin to enter the Kingdom of Fire, and he lost his troops and generals.

Yagura did not expect that such a legendary ninja, who was feared by all countries, would suddenly sacrifice like this.

"I have been looking for opportunities to deal with him, but I have never been able to find the right time. I didn't expect that this time I completed the task by mistake."

Minato, who is able to use time and space ninjutsu to a proficient level, will definitely be one of his greatest enemies in the future.

Now that Minato is dead, a big stone has fallen in Shiraishi's heart.

"It seems that Konoha doesn't need to worry about anything for the time being. It will depend on Kumogakure's efforts next."

Yagura nodded.

"But before that, I also want to remind you something."

Shiraishi's expression became a little more serious.

"What's up?"

"I was not the one who used the Kyuubi to cause the death of Namikaze Minato this time. I provided this information to a person named Nagato. He had joined an organization called 'Akatsuki' before. This time he was the one who acted.

hand."

Shiraishi said this.

"Akatsuki?" Yagura touched his chin and thought for a moment, looked into Shiraishi's eyes and said, "I seem to have heard of this organization somewhere. It is said to be a well-known organization in the Land of Rain. I paid attention to the rain a few years ago.

I, who was at war with my country, made some intelligence summaries on this, and among them was the organization 'Akatsuki'."

"It's generally true. Although Amegakure Village has now become a vassal of Konoha, Akatsuki will not be disbanded because of this. It will definitely cause a bloody storm in the ninja world in the future."

Shiraishi said this.

"Even so, it shouldn't have anything to do with me, right? I have no connection with Yugakure."

Yagura asked back.

The tragedy of the Rain Country was caused by its special geographical environment and was ravaged by the ninjas of Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure.

But this has nothing to do with Kirigakure, who is alone overseas. In the previous wars in the Land of Rain, there were no Kirigakure ninjas involved, so naturally they did not have deep relations with the Land of Rain.

"No, it has a lot to do with it. Nagato has the Rinnegan. If my guess is correct, his next purpose should be to secretly collect information about the tailed beasts of the five major countries and launch a plan to capture the tailed beasts. You have now become the three-tailed Jinchuriki.

, sooner or later he will be targeted."

Hearing Shiraishi say this, Yagura's eyes widened immediately.

Samsara Eye? Tailed Beast?

If he hadn't been sure that Shiraishi wasn't the kind of person who makes random mistakes, Yagura would have thought that Shiraishi was telling a fairy tale.

He had always thought that the Six Paths Immortal's Samsara Eye was a myth and legend made out of nothing.

"This is some information about Nagato. Destroy it after reading it. According to the news I got recently, Nagato's subordinate Bai Zetsu is secretly collecting information about defecting ninjas from various countries. We don't know what they are doing specifically yet.

, but most likely they want to recruit defecting ninjas and gather their power to help capture the tailed beasts."

Shiraishi took out a scroll and placed it in front of Yagura.

Yagura took the scroll and felt that things suddenly became troublesome.

He knew how powerful Shiraishi was, and even he paid close attention to Akatsuki's Nagato. Before he could eliminate this threat immediately, he had already explained some problems.

"I understand. I will be careful about the reincarnation eye and strengthen the protective force around me."

If the opponent is someone that even Shiraishi must take seriously, Yagura believes that it is necessary to increase the protective power around him.

Because in the future he will not only be Kirigakure's three-tailed Jinchuuriki, but also Kirigakure's fourth generation Mizukage.

Seeing that Yagura was facing a formidable enemy, Shiraishi paused and smiled and said: "Of course, there is no need to be too nervous about this matter. When Nagato actually takes action, it will take a long time to prepare. Moreover, I still need him for the time being.

Attract Konoha's attention to me."

"..."

Yagura suddenly felt that as the strongest Ninja of the Five Great Nations, Konoha was actually in a very difficult situation.

Being targeted by a defecting ninja from his own village, and also being targeted by the holder of the Rinnegan Eye, should I say it is an honor or an unlucky thing?

There will be nothing to talk about after that. Further cooperation will have to wait until the situation in Kirigakure stabilizes before we can discuss it.

After bidding farewell to Yagura, the other party hurried back to Kirigakure Village not far away, leaving no extra time to discuss matters with Shiraishi.
