Chapter 238 Changes in the Ninja World
Chapter 238 Changes in the Ninja World
The entire ninja world knows that Sunagakure lost its Jinchuriki, who is currently under house arrest in Konoha.
On the Sand Village side, Rasa's questionable actions caused the village to suffer huge losses.
With the encouragement of Chiyo, Yokura, and a group of elders, the number of people dissatisfied with Rasa's rule gradually increased.
Rasa is now constantly being hindered at high-level meetings in Sunagakure.
With Shukaku the One-Tailed Beast unable to be found, Rasa could only keep going out to pan for gold as a way to give back to the village as a political achievement.
Although the number of people dissatisfied with Rasa has increased, Rasa's position as Kazekage remains as secure as ever.
The feud between Iwagakure and Sunagakure has a long history, and the people of Iwagakure have long been infiltrating Sunagakure.
Rasa, who was panning for gold all over the desert, naturally killed many Iwagakure members in the process.
A month ago, Rasa chased some Iwagakure (hidden rock villagers) into the Land of Stone, a buffer state between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rock.
When Iwagakure was being chased, they used an extremely large-scale Earth Release ninjutsu.
Completely change the battlefield.
But precisely because of this, a giant mineral vein was discovered in the Land of Stone.
This vein is mainly composed of gold, as well as abundant associated minerals.
Gold remains a precious metal in the ninja world, with many uses, but its reserves are scarce and its price is high.
This mineral vein is so valuable that it's worth at least tens of billions.
Luo Sha directly chose to occupy the mine.
Knowing that they could not keep this wealth, the Land of Stone merged the entire country into the Land of Earth.
For this immense wealth, Sunagakure and Iwagakure waged war without declaring war.
In just half a month, a large number of ninjas were deployed to the Land of Stones to compete for mining rights.
The entire ninja world's attention was quickly drawn to it.
……
No matter how the fighting goes on outside.
On the border of the Land of Rivers, the Uchiha clan continued to diligently complete the mission of Chiyo.
The fact that the Uchiha clan was small was a closely guarded secret, so the pace of investigation was always slow.
After such a long time, the underground ruins that Chiyo was looking for were finally found on the border of the River Country.
"Found it! Found it!"
"Lord Ji Yan! Is this the place?"
Uchiha Norihiko shuddered and used several Body Flicker Techniques to reach a valley.
This valley is unremarkable and nothing special.
"where is it?"
Uchiha Torakichi threw a stone, which actually went straight through the bottom of the cliff.
"This place is fake!"
Ji Yan carefully made his way across from the bottom of the cliff.
It was as if I had passed through a thin, membrane-like barrier, and the scene before my eyes changed.
Below lies a very deep canyon, and amidst the swirling clouds and mist, an ancient temple appears.
He formed a hand seal.
"Phoenix Fire Technique!"
A continuous stream of fireballs shot towards the ruins below.
The main purpose is lighting, to determine the location of the buildings below.
Ji Yan took out the map he was carrying from the edge of the cliff and compared it with the map.
"This is it!"
Ji Yan's eyes gleamed; this was his third time rotating through the area to search for this temple.
Unexpectedly, this younger member of the clan turned out to be a lucky star.
Ji Yan took out a notepad, turned to the red page, and wrote down the situation there.
Forming hand seals.
With a "bang," an orange cat wearing a vest appeared.
The orange cat is round and chubby with a perfectly round head, making it look very cute.
However, when he spoke, he had the voice of a middle-aged man.
"Oh, Ji Yan, what brings you here at this hour?"
Ji Yan sealed the sticky note in his hand into the envelope:
"Kikutaro, this is an urgent letter. It must be delivered to the clan chief as soon as possible."
When Kikutaro heard that the letter was for Chiyo, he immediately put it inside his vest.
"Leave it to me!"
Then it disappeared with a bang.
There aren't that many people in the Uchiha clan with the talent for summoning spirits.
Most of these are Ninja Cat style.
Both the Ninja Crow Style Genjutsu and the Ninja Crow Style Substitution Technique require a relatively high level of ocular power and chakra control to support them.
Of course, those without such advanced technology, like Yamashiro Aoba, can only send out crows to cause trouble.
Therefore, there are very few people who practice the Ninja Crow style.
Ji Yan's use of the ninja cat to transmit information was already very fast.
After finishing the psychic summoning, the ninja cat returned to its clan from the cat village in just half a day.
"You're a lucky charm, kid."
After getting things done, Ji Yan, who rarely joked, praised Hu Ji.
Huji scratched his head and chuckled, "Now that we've found the ruins, we don't need to stay here anymore, right?"
Ji Yan and his group suffered quite a bit in this land of sand and gravel.
Both of them were covered in dust.
"It should be fine once the clan leader arrives."
……
Konoha Village.
The power of the Ninja Academy has been completely monopolized by Chiyo.
Information about what happened at the school won't get out for a long time.
When the Ino-Shika-Cho trio returned home, their family members learned that their instructor was actually Uchiha Fugaku.
The previous generation of Ino-Shika-Cho had some connection with Fugaku.
But the friendships we had when we were young are not the same as they are now.
Fugaku now possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan and is among the strongest in the ninja world.
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio also specially sent gifts to the Uchiha clan to express their gratitude.
He also instructed his children to be obedient under Master Fugaku's tutelage.
After the Ino-Shika-Cho trio finished their business, the Third Hokage finally received the relevant news.
When the Third Hokage heard about Chiyo's class assignments and the teacher in charge, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
No wonder Qianyao refused his abdication before, and now this batch of students is graduating early.
They have basically monopolized the succession of all the major clans in Konoha.
Their instructors were all members of the Uchiha clan.
It goes without saying which family these children have grown up in the past two years and which family they lean towards.
If he does nothing, it's only a matter of time before he's sidelined.
Could the current tensions between Iwagakure and Sunagakure be a turning point?
The Third Hokage pondered the situation, but could only send people to find out how the battle between Sunagakure and Iwagakure was progressing.
After all, if two of the five great ninja villages were to fight each other, it could very well become the fuse for the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Two years ago, Shirakumo Hayato was sent out to brainwash Kakashi, but Shirakumo Hayato died in an accident.
While the Third Hokage was still debating whether Kakashi had been brainwashed, Kakashi went to the Uchiha clan because of the incident where Rin's grave was dug up.
After Kakashi returned, he applied to leave the Anbu.
And they began to take on some more difficult tasks to hone their skills and strive to improve their abilities.
I haven't been to the memorial monument since.
The Third Hokage speculated that Kakashi might have been traumatized by visiting the Uchiha clan.
However, once doubts were sown, the Third Hokage stopped entrusting Kakashi with particularly important tasks.
This kind of information-gathering task can be entrusted to him.
"Someone come here!"
Soon, a member of the secret service entered from outside the door.
"Go and summon Kakashi, Tenzo, and Asuma."
"Yes!"
After the Anbu left, the Third Hokage said to Sarutobi Sekishu, who was in the shadows:
"You should also go to the battlefield and check out the situation."
