Chapter 148 Next Invitation

Sand Hidden Village

Sunagakure's office.

Rasa sat on her desk and looked at the invitation sent by Uchiha.

Although it is a nominal alliance with Konoha, in fact the relationship between the two parties is not very good.

After all, there were many battles between Sunagakure and Konohagakure in the first three ninja wars, but they all ended in defeat, and their national power became worse and worse. They were not so much allies.

Rather, we have to be allies.

However, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Rasa is much better. After all, they still have commercial contacts.

The business plan left by Xia Mu before, Luo Sha can be considered as opening up large and small shops.

Although Sunagakure Village is said to be poor, it has made some money.

No one in Sunagakure Village has studied drinks before. Many drinks are difficult to transport to Sunagakure Village. Those that are refreshing and relieve the heat are all medicines.

After the things Natsuki left behind were developed, they were welcomed by many people.

Whether it’s the sweet and sour plum soup or the bitter herbal tea, it’s the holy grail to relieve summer heat.

There are also foods such as roasted jelly grass, which young people like to eat very much.

The key is that the raw materials are all dry and easy to transport, raw materials that are not available here in the Kingdom of Wind.

They are all imported from the Uchiha side and shipped to the village to make them themselves.

In addition, Natsuki helped Gaara strengthen the seal before, which is considered a favor.

For such a big thing as Natsuki Uchiha taking over as clan leader, it was both reasonable and reasonable to send representatives to check it out.

And there is Obito, is he a member of the organization that Natsuki said covets the Jinchūriki?

Luo Sha made a decision quickly.

"Call Yashamaru over."

Soon, Yashamaru came to the office.

Yashamaru did not die at the hands of Gaara back then, and now his heart disease is gone. Under his short blond hair, his eyes are bright, and he is no longer the melancholy young man he was back then.

Over the years, Yashamaru has spent most of his time assisting Rasa and taking care of Gaara, and he can be regarded as Rasa's right-hand man.

Rasa told Yashamaru all the invitations and information she received.

After hearing this, Yashamaru said: "It would be great if Gaara could go. His transformation in the past few years is all thanks to Natsuki. He also really wants to see Natsuki again."

Rasa shook her head: "Gaara is still young now, so he can only stay in the village."

After all, Gaara is a Jinchuuriki and can be regarded as the strategic weapon of Sunagakure Village. Moreover, Gaara is too young and is worried about any accidents.

However, due to Natsuki strengthening the seal, Shukaku has never had any problems in the past few years, and Sunagakure Village has been managed well.

It also allowed Luo Sha to be praised by the daimyo of the Land of Wind, and some funds were raised, making Sha Gakure's life easier.

"I sent you to watch the ceremony because you are with Gaara every day, and you know his situation best. In addition to thanking Natsuki for helping Gaara, there is also the issue of whether the seal needs to be strengthened."

Rasa had experienced Shukaku's rampage too many times when Gaara was young.

Every time it turns the village upside down, and ends up losing a lot of money.

Now that Gaara is stable, it means that one of the most expensive areas is no longer there, so Luo Sha is extra precious and cautious.

"The second thing is to understand clearly how threatening Obito is. Is he a member of the organization that wants to capture the tailed beasts?"

"I know Kazekage-sama, do you want to tell Gaara?"

Yashamaru also wanted to see Natsuki again, the person who completely changed Gaara's childhood and the person who saved his life.

A soft smile appeared on Rasa's face. In recent years, Gaara has not been harassed by Shukaku.

He is now a completely normal child, and all the pain he once suffered seems to be leaving him.

A few years can change a lot of time. Gaara no longer went berserk or hurtful, and he even made a few friends.

After following Natsuki's advice, Rasa became very attentive to Gaara's education.

To his surprise, he discovered that Gaara was really very smart and had a strong sense of responsibility. If he could control the tailed beast well in the future, he would even be a very good successor candidate.

"Gaara, this child, has begun to become outstanding now. Just tell him these things directly."

"I see."

Yashamaru nodded, Gaara always remembered the incident when Natsuki came to strengthen the seal for him.

I have said many times that when I grow up, I will repay Xia Mu.

Although Gaara can't leave the village yet, it would be nice to be able to bring a message to Natsuki Uchiha.

"Also, take Temari and Kankuro with you and let them see the world. Maki will take care of Gaara."

…

The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

Mei Terumi, who had already taken the position of the Fifth Mizukage, was the last to receive the news.

After all, the sea voyage is too far, and the messenger ninja has to fly for several days to reach it.

Natsuki knew about the mess in the Kingdom of Water. He estimated that Terumi Mei didn't care about other countries' affairs now. It was just a courtesy to inform the Kingdom of Water.

Xia Mu also made it clear that there was no need to send anyone here since the Kingdom of Water was far away.

Otherwise, a month is not enough time to walk on the Kirigakure Road. If you accidentally encounter a storm on the sea, it will take even longer.

Terumi Mei also saw the Uchiha clan's bounty on Obito, and even said that Kirigakure suffered a big loss at Obito's hands.

Kirigakure not only suffered a big loss, but for Natsuki's visit, the fourth generation of Mizukage in Kirigakure Village would still be under his control.

The decline of the Water Country's national power in recent years is also due to Obito.

Kirigakure felt embarrassed that such a big thing in Kirigakure Village was exposed by Natsuki.

But there was nothing that could be done. There were too many people watching at the time, and Kirigakure was famous for being a traitor.

It was only a matter of time before the news got out.

But Terumi Mei doesn't have much time to think about these problems now, because a bigger problem has arisen.

The fourth generation Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura is dead. He committed suicide.

Kirigakure was basically destroyed in his hands, and his self-esteem would not allow him to live anymore.

The reason why he lives in prison is because of the three-tailed isozu in his body, which is Kirigakure's precious asset.

Unfortunately, in the past few years, Goju Yagura has been assassinated and insulted.

Some people climbed over guards, high walls, and entered the prison, even just to spit on Goju Yagura.

Even the people who looked after the prison turned a blind eye to this. After all, too many people died during the Fourth Mizukage's reign.

So many families with bloodline boundaries have been ruined, and countless people have been implicated.

As a result, Goju Yagura's mental state deteriorated to the extreme, and he finally committed suicide one day before.

He died together with Sanwei Isozu, and I don’t know when or where he will be resurrected next.

Three tails, lost...

Many people were dissatisfied with Mei Terumi's taking the position of Mizukage, and the loss of the three-tailed Isozu in the village became a reason to criticize her.

Terumi Mei couldn't handle the mess, so of course she didn't bother sending people to attend Natsuki's succession ceremony.

However, Xia Mu's face still cannot be enough. The big hole near the village has not been filled yet.

Terumi Mei had no choice but to write a reply and use the messenger bird to explain it, saying that Kirigakure had other important matters and she couldn't get away.

Chapter 149 Intelligence

fire nation

Kakuzu had just finished his job, and his partner was "accidentally" sacrificed again. Now he carries the body alone to a remote place.

Kakuzu carried the corpse behind him. The skin of the corpse was gray and gray, and it had only been briefly treated. There was already a faint smell coming out of it.

But Kakuzu didn't care. To him, this corpse smell was the smell of money.

A toilet appeared in front of him. Kakuzu carried the body and walked in. He pressed the button next to the urinal and a secret door appeared.

A bald man with a scar on his eyebrow poked out from inside. Seeing that it was Kakuzu coming, he quickly greeted: "Brother Kakuzu, please come inside."

Kakuzu seemed to be very familiar with this place. After entering, he threw the body onto a protruding wooden board.

The bald man took it and compared it: "That's right, Brother Kakuzu, this is the rebel ninja of the Rock Country, seven million."

Kakuzu was not very satisfied with this number, but this Iwa ninja was of average strength, and apart from the effort it took to find someone, nothing else took much time.

He took the money box handed over by the bald man and asked while counting the money: "What good rewards and news have you got recently?"

The bald man stood nearby, as if he knew Kakuzu was asking about it early on, so he immediately said, "Brother Kakuzu has been too busy lately. A lot of big things have happened recently."

Kakuzu paused for a moment while counting the money, and then he didn't say anything. After counting the money seriously, he said, "The money is no problem. Just now you said, what happened?"

"Two things. Uchiha has found out that the mastermind of the Nine-Tails Rebellion was a traitor named Uchiha Obito. The Uchiha clan has expelled him from the family tree and has offered a reward of 300 million to hunt him down!"

"How much!?" Kakuzu was afraid that he was hallucinating.

You must know that the bounty for the six Jinchūriki Yugao is only 50 million, Sarutobi Asuma is 35 million, and the Hyuga clan leader and the Uchiha clan leader are only 100 million.

Each village's shadow has a bounty of 200 million to 300 million.

How could Obito Hetoku be worth so much money?

The bald man seemed to have known Kakuzu's question early on, so he quickly repeated: "Brother Kakuzu, you heard it right, it's three hundred million."

"Uchiha was blamed by this Obito a few years ago, and he already hates this Obito."

"In addition, Obito has some space ninjutsu, so that's why the bounty is so high."

Kakuzu was moved for a moment and quickly took the information. It turned out to be a time and space ninjutsu.

In the ninja world, anyone who knows the time and space ninjutsu is not easy to deal with.

The fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, was able to dominate the battlefield with his Flying Thunder God Technique.

In this ninja world where missions come first, you have seen Minato Namikaze and are allowed to abandon missions and escape.

One can imagine how strong Namikaze Minato was at that time.

If you can beat him, you can't catch him. If you can't defeat it, you can't escape. Where to fight, the fourth generation has the final say.

The initiative in the battle was always in his hands, so Minato Namikaze was rated as the most promising Hokage at that time.

It's a pity that he died inexplicably during the Nine-Tails Rebellion. While the other ninja villages were gloating about his misfortune, they were also investigating how the fourth generation died.

As a result, of course, nothing was gained.

After all, Obito has been hiding deeply. Even in the current Akatsuki organization, only Nagato, Konan and Zetsu know of his existence.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the real culprit that Konoha had not found was discovered by the Uchiha clan.

And the witness is Kakashi.

However, the strange silence of Konoha's top brass made everything confusing.

No wonder Obito is worth so much money.

Kakuzu doesn't care too much about the love-hate relationship between Konoha and Uchiha. He just wants to make money now, after seeing that Obito is worth so much money.

He was also itchy, but after all, the other party had some space ninjutsu, and he didn't have much information at the moment, so he didn't know where to find it.

But Kakuzu still kept this information in his heart...

…

The land of rain.

Yuyin Village.

The sky is still raining.

Konan flew across the sky.
