Chapter 298 Re-entry into the fog [seeking a monthly ticket]
We need ten Byakugan ninjas from the Hyuga family, and ten Sharingan ninjas from the Uchiha clan.
In addition, ninjas with various family secrets recruited from other large and small families, as well as some root reserve ninjas who have been prepared for a long time, then completing the expansion of the root and even the improvement of strength will not be considered a complete task.
A difficult thing.
After doing this, Toneri didn't want to chat with Uchiha Fugaku any more.
Enter the house and call Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, then leave directly.
On the way to the training ground, Toneri looked at Itachi Uchiha who looked reluctant to leave, and asked with a smile: "Itachi, your brother is cute, isn't he?"
"Um!"
Itachi nodded subconsciously, and then his face turned slightly red, feeling a little uneasy.
"Hahaha - there is nothing to be ashamed of. He is your younger brother. Isn't it normal to like your younger brother and want to protect your younger brother?
It is precisely because there is something that one wants to protect that a person will become stronger and stronger towards this goal."
Uchiha Shisui on the side heard Toneri's words and nodded thoughtfully.
"So, if you want to protect someone who is very important to you, Itachi! Shisui! You all need to become stronger!" Toneri looked at his two disciples and quite agreed.
"Yes! Teacher Toneri!"
Become full of energy instantly.
"Eh? Shisui, your eyes..." It was then that Uchiha Itachi finally discovered the difference in Shisui's eyes.
It has to be said that others tend to ignore the outside world because they have girlfriends, but Uchiha Itachi ignores the outside world because of his younger brother.
"I have been promoted to Sanmagatama. Itachi, you have to work hard. The gap between you and me is getting bigger and bigger now!" As he said that, Shisui patted Itachi's shoulder lightly, saying that you have to work hard.
expression.
Itachi looked into Shisui's eyes, no matter what, he was still somewhat envious.
As long as they are a Uchiha-level member, there is no one who is not interested in the Three Magatama Sharingan.
People who don't have a three-magatama want to be promoted to a three-magatama, while people who have a three-magatama want to know more about the three-magatama and learn more about the Sharingan.
Soon, the three of them came to the small forest where they often trained.
"By the way, Shisui, I want to let you know that our Konoha will soon hold the Chunin Examination covering the entire ninja world. Although you are not weak now, it is not a time of war. You want to be promoted to Chunin."
To be able to endure it, you still need to pass the chunin exam.
Moreover, because this is the Chunin Exam covering the entire ninja world, the results may affect the relationship between the major hidden villages and the future direction. We must get the top spot in this Chunin Exam, so... Shisui
You are under a lot of pressure."
The news that the Chuunin Exam will be held by Konoha has been spread, and several small hidden villages that have no relationship with Konoha have responded immediately, saying that they want to participate in this Chunin Exam.
Hearing this, Shisui looked very motivated, "Teacher, I will work hard!"
"very good!"
Originally, Toneri still had reservations about whether Shisui could win the first place, but now that he has been promoted to the Three Magatama Sharingan, he feels many times more relieved.
In the Sharingan, there is a huge difference between the Double Magatama Sharingan and the Triple Magatama Sharingan.
Itachi on the side heard Tonero's exchange with Shisui and showed a slightly envious look.
Of course Toneri, who was keenly observant, also saw his expression, smiled and rubbed his head and said: "Itachi, you are not old enough yet, you'd better prepare to go to the ninja school first. You know, there are many people in the ninja school.
There are many little girls.
With your appearance, I don’t know how many little ones will lose themselves by then.
You think so, Shisui?"
Toneri began to tease his disciple, and Shisui on the side also helped Toneri.
Only Itachi, who was originally relatively thin-skinned, was left shy and blushing.
The hearty laughter spread throughout the woods.
...
Humid environment.
There was a thick fog, making the overall light not very good.
If you are not properly prepared, if you walk around in such a thick fog, most of your clothes will be soaked.
A figure slowly walked out of the thick white fog, and then, another man walked out behind him with a big knife on his shoulder. He looked a bit like a shark.
It was Tonerato and Kisame the dried persimmon.
At this moment, they entered Kisame's hometown, the Kingdom of Water.
Their target is Kirigakure Village in the center of Water Country.
"Kisame, how do you feel about returning to the Kingdom of Water again?" Toneri's feet stepped on the ground, leaving no traces on the ground, as if the muddy road had no impact on him.
Hearing Toneri's words, Kisame took a gentle breath of the humid air full of water vapor, and opened his mouth to reveal his sharp teeth like a shark.
"The air in the Kingdom of Water is the most familiar to me. This feeling full of water vapor may be the most suitable for me."
Toneri shrugged incredulously at Kisame's honest answer.
"Mr. Toneri, why are we coming to Kirigakure Village this time...?"
"Find someone."
"Looking for someone?" Kisame was slightly startled.
"Yes, there is a person I have been looking for. He will definitely come to the Kingdom of Water and Kirigakure Village. I estimate that the time is about the same, so I have to prepare to come here in advance to wait for him." Toneri's eyes flashed with danger.
light.
Obviously this person is not a friendly person to him.
A slightly excited smile appeared on Kisame's face, who was carrying the sword Samehada.
"However, before that, Kirigakure Village seems to have undergone a lot of changes."
While they were talking, the two of them had arrived at a high mountain outside Kirigakure Village.
Kirigakure Village is located in the center of the Kingdom of Water, surrounded by mountains. There is only one relatively spacious and convenient intersection, which is the gate of Kirigakure Village.
Kisame's nose twitched slightly, and he could clearly smell the faint smell of blood floating in the air, which was very light.
"The smell of blood?"
Kisame is far more sensitive to the smell of blood than ordinary people.
Although the smell of blood was very thin, indicating that a long time had passed since the bloody incident, the sensitive Kisame could still smell it.
"Let's go and take a look. As a former member of the Kirigakure ANBU, you should have some means to allow us to enter Kirigakure Village quietly, right?" Toneri asked.
Kisame nodded.
His original duty was to deal with the ninjas in his hidden village, so he knew a lot of things that others didn't know.
For example, this time I sneaked into Kirigakure Village.
Both of them put on a large robe.
In the original book, Kisame followed Uchiha Itachi into Konoha to warn several high-level Konoha officials. This time Toneri took Kisame into Kirigakure Village, and it felt similar.
After entering Kirigakure Village, Kisame, who is more familiar with Kirigakure Village, will lead the way, so you don't have to worry about being discovered.
However, after entering Kirigakure Village, Kisame slowly frowned.
Seeing his appearance, the two stopped in front of a small lake, looked at the Kirigakure Village with some lights in the distance, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Listening to Toneri's question, Kisame didn't answer immediately. Instead, he was lost in thought.
After a while, Kisame was shocked, finally reacted, and said with a slight embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Toneri, I was distracted just now."
Toneri shook his head and said it didn't matter.
I looked at a few small fish that quietly poked their heads out in the middle of the lake. They just took a bubble, then swung their tails and dived deeper into the house, causing ripples in the lake and causing the fog that was originally guarding the lake.
The view of the hidden village buildings becomes a little blurry and cannot be seen clearly.
"As you said, Mr. Toneri, Kirigakure Village has really undergone great changes." Kisame couldn't help but sigh.
Toneri was not much surprised by the changes that had occurred in Kirigakure Village. This was news he had known a long time ago.
"Although I smelled a faint smell of blood when I came in, it only existed outside the village. After entering the village, the smell of blood suddenly became weak to the point where I could hardly smell it. This is not the 'Blood Mist'
', Known as the 'Blood Mist Hidden Village', it's the flavor that the Hidden Mist Village should have."
"There's only one possibility for this situation, right?"
"Well, it seems that the third generation Mizukage should be the next in rank.
I just don’t know who the person who successfully overthrew the third generation Mizukage and ended this horrific ‘Blood Mist’ policy is, is he the Oniden clan?” Kisame had doubts in his eyes.
"Probably not. Although the overall strength of the Ghost Lantern clan is strong and their power is at the top in Kirigakure Village, they should not be the Ghost Lantern clan." Toneri rubbed his chin, looking confident.
Kisame gave him a slightly surprised look.
In the past two years, Toneri established the Ninja Cat Clan, used contracted psychic beasts to sign contracts with a large number of cats throughout the Ninja World, and finally expanded his intelligence system to Kirigakure Village.
But Kisame doesn't think that no matter how strong the Ninja Neko's intelligence system is, can it still penetrate into Kirigakure Village?
If there were other hidden villages, whether it was Kumogakure, Iwagakure or Sunagakure, and Toneri's ninja cat intelligence system had infiltrated into several hidden villages, Kisame would still believe it.
After all, there are many Ninja cat spies in Kumogakure Village.
But a hidden village like Kirigakure on the sea is extremely xenophobic. It is not easy for a ninja to sneak in, let alone entering Kirigakure.
It's not that I don't believe in Shiren's ability, it's just because I know his ability so well that I feel this way.
"Who does Mr. Toneri think the fourth generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village should be?" Kisame asked.
"If my calculation is correct, it should be a baby face that looks young, but is actually quite old. It seems to be called... Gotachibana Yagura?" Toneri pretended to show an incomprehensible expression.
appearance.
Hearing this name, Kisame showed an expression like that.
"If it's him, it's indeed possible."
"It seems that you are very familiar with him, Kisame..."
"It's not familiar, but after all, the nature of my job is like that, so I need to know more about the members of Kirigakure Village, and this Goju Yagura Kyū is one of them." Kisame said matter-of-factly.
Now he can calmly accept the job he once didn't like very much.
"Goju Yagura, the current patriarch of the Goju clan of the middle family in Kirigakure Village, is born with a baby face, but don't be fooled by his appearance. In fact, his strength is not weak at all, and can even be said to be very strong.
A special coral secret technique that allows people or things touched by his chakra to be covered with hard coral.
He was very powerful and was one of the few people in Kirigakure Village who could not be messed with at that time.
He has good connections, and all the families in Kirigakure Village, big and small, have good connections with him. If he becomes the fourth generation Mizukage, the possibility is quite high."
Kisame also analyzes Gotachibana and Yagura's relationship and abilities.
From this moment on, he also gave up the idea of doubting the accuracy of Shi Ren's words.
He still remembered that when he first entered the Kasumi organization, Kakuzu, his senior, said something to him sincerely...
Never question Shiren's words and decisions.
Because in the end you may find that what he says is always right.
That hurts your self-esteem.
If you always agree with his views and decisions, you won't look embarrassed when the results are announced.
At this moment, Kisame seemed to feel what Kakuzu had said to him before.
"Let's go, don't make any guesses, we will know who the fourth Mizukage is when we see him."
"Are we going in like this?"
It's not that I look down on Kirigakure Village, but in any case, Kirigakure Village is one of the five hidden villages. If they approach the Fourth Mizukage so rashly, the final result may be that they will be surrounded by a large number of Kirigakure.
"It's okay, I have a solution."
As he finished speaking, the space around Toneri's right eye twisted and rotated, absorbing Kisame into the Kamui space.
Then he used the "Jutsu of Erasing Faces" to disguise himself and sneaked into Kirigakure Village.
Walking on the slightly empty streets, you can clearly feel that the prosperity of Kirigakure Village is still very different from that of Konoha, and there are many places that cannot compare.
"Sure enough, if one force is the most helpful to me, Konoha is the most suitable."
The more he compares it with other forces in other hidden villages, the more he feels that Konoha should be the greatest help to him.
Just count how many shadow-level powerhouses there are in Konoha.
Not counting Toneri, the yellow flash Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, Jiraiya, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the current Inakacho and the former Inokacho are also comparable.
A combination of film-level strength.
There are also strong men like Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Hizashi, Hinata Hizashi, and Uzumaki Kushina who have touched the threshold of the shadow level.
This is Konoha's current strength, not counting the strong men who may appear in the future.
Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Hatake Kakashi, etc.
It can be said that there are many talents.
In comparison, Kirigakure Village is obviously much worse.
It may even be possible that the entire ninja world and the two or three hidden villages combined may be able to compare with Konoha.
Sneaking into Kirigakure Village, he didn't expect to find the fourth Mizukage just because he wanted to, especially at this critical moment.
But Toneri is not in a hurry. He has enough patience to lurk now. Anyway, nothing major will happen to Konoha in a short time, and his shadow clone still exists, so he does not need to worry about Konoha's affairs.
Instead, you can have a tourist mentality and have fun in Kirigakure Village.
It is estimated that there are definitely not many people in the entire ninja world who have a mentality like his.
But there is no other way. Since he wants to find Uchiha Obito, waiting in Kirigakure Village is definitely the best choice.
Anyway, with Uchiha Obito's current cynical character and the fact that he "killed" Harano Lin in Kirigakure Village, he will definitely take revenge on Kirigakure Village.
So he found a ninja with ordinary appearance, ordinary identity, and ordinary strength to hide his identity.
Look at the entire Kirigakure Village like a spectator.
Reading other people's memories is not a difficult task for him with the Mangekyo Sharingan.
It just might take a while to temporarily aggrieve Kisame.
"Boss, please order the signature eel rice bowl."
We walked into an ordinary-looking restaurant on the streets of Kirigakure Village.
"Okay, guest, please wait a moment."
In the relatively empty restaurant, there were a few people sitting here and there eating. The arrival of Toneri brought more smiles to the boss's face.
Every guest is an important customer to his hotel.
After all, the economy of Kirigakure Village has just begun to improve, and this is all thanks to the fourth generation Mizukage.
Soon, the eel rice bowl that Toneri was waiting for was served.
The slightly browned eel is smeared with a thin layer of sauce and placed on top of the steaming rice.
There are some vegetables placed in the gaps, almost covering the entire white rice in the bowl.
Along with the rice, there was a bowl of steaming miso soup and a small dish of pickles.
I have to say that the configuration of this meal is quite good, which makes Shiren's appetite greatly increase.
"Try the craftsmanship in the small restaurant in Kirigakure Village."
With this thought in mind, Shiren opened his bamboo chopsticks and started a sweeping sweep.
"The fish is much fresher than expected. It seems that the Kingdom of Water is a maritime city, so the fish caught are all fresh, unlike Konoha, which always transports fish from outside.
These dishes are relatively fresh, the miso soup tastes good, and the pickles are above the pass mark.”
After eating them all, Shiren came to a conclusion.
The eel rice bowl in Kirigakure Village is actually better than the eel rice bowl in Konoha.
At least, the eel is much more delicious and fresh!
"This can be considered an unexpected gain, right? It seems that during this time in Kirigakure Village, my stomach will not be lonely anymore.
It’s sometimes good to try the delicacies of other hidden villages...”
Just when Toneri finished eating and was about to pay, a person who was a little surprised by his perception opened the door and walked in.
A man wearing black tights, short black hair, his forehead protector was worn to the left, and his lower face and neck were wrapped in bandages opened the door and walked in.
As he entered, the air in the entire hotel seemed to have become several degrees colder.
Seeing this man's outfit, Toneri narrowed his eyes.
