Chapter 167：

Xia Mu shrugged: "Yes, he was afraid that if he died, you would have no one to take care of you, so he left you alone to me."

Konan was silent for a moment, without speaking, and looked at Nagato.

Nagato was also very calm.

Their relationship for many years, although it does not involve the love between a man and a woman, has reached the point of being a life-or-death acquaintance.

Some words are understood by both of them even if they are not spoken out loud.

Xiaonan took a deep breath and regained her voice: "Is there any other way now?"

Natsuki nodded. Sure enough, Konan was still more flexible than Nagato's head.

I didn't hold her back just now because I wanted to hide it from her.

Pulling her in now means that Xia Mu has another solution.

Natsuki then told Konan what he had said to Nagato before.

Xiao Nan thought for a while: "The Kirigakure side is already in such a state of ruin, I guess they don't have enough money to hire us."

Xia Mu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I can be a middleman when the time comes. If you don't have money, I can use secret techniques or land."

"It's okay for us Uchiha to have another foothold in the future."

Konan was shocked. Natsuki first revealed the news about Yagura to Kumogakure, and then prepared to accept employment from Kumogakure to make a profit first.

Turn around and introduce the Akatsuki organization to Kirigakure.

If Kirigakure wanted Akatsuki to do something, he would have to bleed a lot.

From now on, Xiaonan will only recognize himself and Nagato in the Akatsuki organization.

They are in alliance with Natsuki, and the money on Kirigakure's side is also Natsuki's.

Therefore, Xia Mu is doing things at both ends and eating money at both ends. No matter what the war trend is, Xia Mu will not lose money.

To intervene in such a big war, it would be reasonable for the entire Akatsuki organization to mobilize.

If all the members are dead, how can we capture the tailed beast? Do we need to take a break?

Nagato and Xiaonan can hide openly for a period of time to treat Nagato.

Natsuki is very calculating.

Xiaonan said happily: "Xiamu, it's a blessing not to become your enemy. You are so good at calculation."

Xia Mu shook his head: "A plan is always a plan, we have to respond to changes at any time."

"And Obito and Zetsu, who are missing now, are the biggest variables."

"As long as the general direction remains unchanged, whatever step you can take counts as a step."

At this time, Nagato suddenly said: "Natsumu, I will give you a ring next time."

Konan also nodded: "This way you can use the Phantom Lantern Technique to contact Nagato."

Oops, Xia Mu was a little surprised. He really didn't know that the ring had this function.

Isn't this just because Xiamu could only "be called" before, but with the ring, he can "call".

Xia Mu scratched his head curiously: "Does your ring still have this function?"

Xiao Nan smiled, it turns out that Xia Mu is not omniscient and omnipotent.

"Nagato can locate where each member is through the ring."

"Members can also use rings to communicate with each other."

Natsuki suddenly realized that it was no wonder Orochimaru stopped wearing the ring after he defected.

Ninja Limited Edition mobile phone, right?

While thinking, Xia Mu remembered something: "Just in time, bring me a set of your clothes when you come next time."

Xiaonan didn't ask any more questions and agreed immediately.

"Oh, by the way, are your guys still killing teammates for a long time?" Xia Mu asked.

Xiao Nan was surprised: "How do you know?"

Since the Akatsuki organization would be treated as cannon fodder anyway, Natsuki was too lazy to go find Hidan by himself.

"Let me introduce you to someone who should still be in the dirt now..."

…

Chapter 207 Undercover

Uchiha clan land.

After finalizing the follow-up and some details with Xiaonan.

Natsuki opened her eyes.

After thinking about it, I wonder if Orochimaru can be involved in this matter.

Xia Mu looked at the sky and saw that it was almost midnight.

Natsuki walked to the practice ground, where Hehui and Gui had been untied and put back.

There are many energetic tribesmen practicing in the training ground.

Natsuki made a casual move.

Recently that tribe member came over in a hurry.

But he was an Uchiha Riku.

"Lu Ren, can you stand up?" Xia Mu came up and patted Lu Ren on the shoulder.

Rikuto looked pretty good: "Thanks to the Patriarch, after Tsunade-sama treated me, I was able to get out of bed soon. I'm recovering now."

"What about Oura?" Natsuki remembered that Oura's leg was injured, and it should be cured.

Rikuto shook his head: "Oura's body has more defects, and he can't move around freely yet."

It seems that after conquering the most difficult part, Rikuto can stand up, but Oura needs a long time to recover.

Xia Mu asked again about the effect of tonight's punishment.

After learning that almost all the clan members came here to watch and eat spicy hotpot, Xia Mu nodded with satisfaction.

It is estimated that no one will dare to show off to Sasuke and the others in the future.

…

Natsuki saw Orochimaru in the clan's basement.

Standing next to Orochimaru was Keimei.

Qiming also had some information in his hand for comparison.

"Xiamu-kun, Qiming is a very good seedling."

After Orochimaru temporarily settled in Uchiha, Natsuki recommended Qiming to Orochimaru.

He also said that Qiming's kaleidoscope was too precious and he happened to have some talent in scientific research.

Without Kabuto around, Orochimaru could use him as an assistant.

Orochimaru put Qiming next to him and tried it. Although Qiming had no foundation at all, he was always very spiritual in making related things and could draw inferences very well.

Coupled with the kaleidoscope-level Sharingan, Qiming learned information very quickly.

I believe it won't be long before he can become Orochimaru's qualified assistant.

Xia Mu smiled: "I'm very happy to be able to make him play a role. Over the years he has been in the clan, his talent has been buried. Fortunately, you are here."

He discovered Qiming's talent many years ago, but Qiming was always within the clan at that time.

He didn't run away with Shisui's group of tribesmen. Qiming's Mangekyō Sharingan happened to be very precious now, so there was no great danger in letting him do research with Orochimaru.

Orochimaru has done research on the Uchiha Sharingan over the years and controlled Itachi's body so that he would not get sick due to over-development of the Sharingan.

A potion was developed to suspend Kimimaro's growth so that Kimimaro would not die young due to his corpse veins.

The research on Hashirama Cells has never stopped. Although the success rate of Hashirama Cell Solution will be very low now, a breakthrough can always be achieved in the future.

In this way, even if the tribesmen who have no relatives open their eyes, they don't have to worry about going blind.

On the basis of these, Orochimaru is still making his own perfect container, but Natsuki has not asked about the progress.

After Kabuto came back from Ryūchi Cave some time ago, Orochimaru also tested Kabuto's Sage Mode data.

And he sorted out the snake senjutsu that Kabuto had practiced.

Under this situation, Orochimaru still had to find time to teach a few children.

I really don’t know how Orochimaru managed this time.

Natsuki asked accidentally and found out that Orochimaru usually slept very little.

A lot of time is spent in the laboratory every day.

This has been going on for many years.

But Orochimaru obviously enjoys such days, every time he mentions some progress on the topic.

Orochimaru would always be excited with his eyes shining and his tongue washing his face.

After arriving in Uchiha, I only took a short rest for two days because there was no testing environment and equipment here.

It happened that Natsuki pulled Qiming over, and Orochimaru happened to take Qiming with him.

Seeing Keimingxue's concentration, Natsuki and Orochimaru walked out.

"Orochimaru, I just contacted Nagato. Next, I will..."

Orochimaru nodded: "If that's the case, it would be best. If there is a chance, it would be best to bring Nagato back. I want to study those samsara eyes."

Natsuki shrugged: "Everyone wants to study the Samsara Eye, but Nagato can't help himself now."

"Then you're going to wait for a reply from Kumogakure?" Orochimaru asked.

Natsuki responded: "Yes, I will send you to Konoha to 'undercover' to monitor Konoha."

"Let Konoha think that we Uchiha are self-reliant. When the fighting starts over there, stab me in the back. Do some political achievements."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and swept it around, feeling a little excited. Although he was smart, he had never put his energy into this kind of thing.

As a result, he suffered a lot in the past, but now he can let Orochimaru experience it, and Orochimaru feels very fresh.

"Don't worry."

Then Natsuki took out a planning document, and Orochimaru took it and looked through it twice.

"Xiamu-kun, this idea is really good."

Natsuki shrugged: "Giving it to the Fire Country Daimyo as early as possible can also be regarded as your political achievement."

Natsuki and Orochimaru then roughly summed it up and left first.

He was originally planning to see how Minato was doing, but Orochimaru told him that Minato had gone to the village for a walk.

With Minato's skills and familiarity with the village.

Just don’t worry at all.

Xiang Rin and Jugo even lingered in Uchiha Snack Street, often coming back very late.

Only Kimimaro and Shiro were there, and then Natsuki moved to Kimimaro and Shiro's room.

"Are you still used to it here?"

Kimimaro and Shiro didn't know that Natsuki would come to see them, so they ran out happily.

"Natsuki-sama!"

Shiro showed some restraint this time and did not jump directly on Natsuki.

Natsuki didn't take a close look at Shiro's outfit last time.

This time I found that Bai was still wearing women's clothes, and with her long hair hanging down, it was impossible to distinguish between male and female.

Xia Mu didn't pay much attention to this aspect, just wear whatever hair you want and keep it happy.

Orochimaru doesn't even care. After all, he doesn't even care whether he is a boy or a girl, and he certainly won't teach Shiro specifically.
