"Sorry, Mr. Huang, I..."

The smooth settlement of his own private affairs made Honglian's tense heartstrings relax a little, but also filled her heart with guilt.

If the former arrives a little later, then the subordinates who follow him will most likely be harmed to a certain extent by the force of the sound ninja, and may even be threatened with death.

However, all this can be avoided from the beginning,

As long as she can choose to obey the orders passed by her leader and not act arbitrarily according to her own temperament.

"Well, we'll talk about this later,"

"You take care of your own affairs first, and I will rely on his strength later."

Huang responded indifferently, and at the same time pointed at the woman who had emerged from the coma, and curiously looked at the woman holding him in his arms.

Such a reminder suddenly caused the guilt in Honglian's heart to suddenly turn into panic.

She suddenly lowered her head, and her eyes just met.

"Who are you?"

"Where's Kabuto Yakushi?"

The boy's camellia-like red-purple eyes were filled with doubts and curiosity.

In his senses, it was obvious that he was just opening and closing his eyes, but the people accompanying him had already changed.

However, what is a little surprising is that there is no look of panic or fear on his face in response to such changes. Perhaps he is not aware of the hostility from these strangers, or perhaps he has been used to it all day long.

Being surrounded by a group of strange experimenters doing various experiments.

"I,"

Looking at the young face so close to her, the expression on Honglian's face became more and more panicked. Even her subconscious response ended with the word "I".

Just because this face seemed to be carved from a mold, it made him involuntarily recall his benefactor who was killed by his own hands.

It was only at this moment that she realized that she was far from mentally prepared to meet him.

"tread."

The footprints on the lake gently push away the waves,

The slight sound made Honglian, who was in a state of anxiety, feel like a frightened bird, and subconsciously followed the sound.

She saw that the leader she had sworn allegiance to had already turned around first, and stepped on the lake to leave the central area where she was. And with this action, those experimental subjects who followed her were also belatedly informed.

Jueban followed step by step and left.

Not long after, a quiet space was left between him and Yuukimaru for the two of them to communicate.

【Thank you, Mr. Huang.】

After Yu murmured silently in her heart, Honglian's uneasy mood gradually calmed down.

Although, she was still not mentally prepared for the meeting,

But on the way here, didn't I already prepare for the worst?

If that's the case, then there's nothing to be afraid of.

With this will, she looked again at the boy who was waiting quietly and with interest for a response, and stepped on the lake to put him back on the canoe parked aside.

"I want to tell you a story that happened a long time ago. This story may be a bit painful. I don't know if you are interested."

His soft voice was completely inconsistent with his usual sonorous image, and his calm eyes showed that he was mentally prepared for all the former's answers.

"Hey, story?"

"It's been a long time since anyone told me a story."

"pain?"

"For me, there is nothing painful anymore."

"Please tell me."

Yuukimaru looked up at the woman in front of him who gave him a special feeling. He looked curious and answered easily.

........

Time moves forward,

Early this morning.

The Kingdom of Thunder, in Yunyin's reception room,

"Silence can't solve any problems. Now that the disgusting old man no longer exists, let's make a qualitative summary of the existing intelligence and the overall situation."

"Although, the old fox predicted that the time would be nearly three days."

"But we cannot completely trust predictions and intelligence."

"Time limit: only today and tomorrow!"

Mention the time limit and the final response conclusion,

The attitude on the Yondaime Raikage's face suddenly became low and serious.

The senior executives of Yunyin in this conference room immediately tensed up under such words. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared intently at their leader, and even their breathing became tight and unsteady.

After all, the decisions made by dozens of them will affect the future of the entire Yunyin Village and even the entire Kingdom of Thunder!!

Even Darui, who usually looks lazy and troublesome, showed a serious look on his face.

"No fight."

"The living space of Yunyin Village will be further compressed. With our backs to the sea, we will no longer have any room for development except for the unknown overseas."

"Xu, I don't have to worry about it for now."

"But in the not-too-distant future, when the interests of all parties reach the zero point, it is very likely that the history of the Warring States Period will be repeated:"

"The Uchiha clan will sweep across the entire ninja world, and Kumogakure will undoubtedly fall into submission."

Ai said the consequences were extremely serious, Yan

But there was still no one in the entire conference room to refute, because they all clearly understood that this was a very likely future!!

No senior member of Yunyin Village dares to speak for Yaoyin Village easily, let alone maintain an attitude of trust in a group that can overthrow their own village and has brought together a group of rebellious ninjas.

The most important thing is that their own survival has been greatly compressed.

The tragedy that occurred at the border of the Kingdom of Frost,

In order to calm down the civil strife in oneself and thus create a window of influence for several months,

All of this has caused Yunyin Village to lose most of its commissions from the Kingdom of Frost!

In addition, Yaoyin Village has completely established itself in the Country of Yu, which directly blocked their thoughts of going south!!

When the former was at its peak, absolutely no discerning foreign businessman or politician would choose to cross the country of Yu to come to Kumogakure to issue a commission!

Now is the huge turning point facing Yunyin Village!!

"Ruozhan."

"It's definitely not a mindless all-out war,"

"On this point, you can still refer to what the old fox said. Attack them unprepared and take advantage of the fact that Uchiha Ara and One-Tail Jinchuuriki are not in the village, and take advantage of the situation to capture the most important figures in Yaoyin Village, and

Use this as a proton threat in exchange for time for your own development and the response of potential allies!"

"The three-tails are Kirigakure's three-tails,"

"If Uchiha Ara continues to forcefully occupy it this time, it will inevitably arouse strong hostility from Kirigakure Village."

"Then Konoha, the conflict and hatred currently brewing between the two needless to say."

"Now in order to capture the Three-Tails, the ninjas of Youyin Village have once again trampled on the land of the Land of Fire. What will the hawks within them do?"

"Danzo has left Konoha, but it does not mean that the influence he has cultivated for decades has been completely lost. Don't forget, there are still two Konoha consultants still alive in the Daming Mansion of the Country of Fire.

.”

Having said this, the Fourth Raikage paused for a moment.

At this moment, in his heart, he had to admire Danzo, that old fox, for his insight and control of the overall situation, as well as his use of all conspiracies.

After Konoha lost the blessing of the two great gods Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, it was still able to maintain its territorial integrity in the center of the whirlpool of the four major countries. This must have had many shady effects from this old thing.

The senior Kumogakure present also looked at the map of the ninja world hanging in the conference room.

The geographical location of Yuno Country is very advantageous. It is at the intersection of [Frost], [Fire], [Iron], [Field], and overseas [Wave] and [Water] countries. It is called the crossroads of the eastern part of the main continent.

It’s not too much to say.

But it is precisely this geographical environment that interfaces with many countries that makes it potentially more dangerous than other countries.

In particular, the four countries of [Thunder], [Fire], [Water], and [Iron], which have certain war capabilities, all have conflicts that are difficult to reconcile.

Once driven by common interests and hatred, a four-sided alliance is formed in the true sense, and all four sides go to war with all their strength, then it will definitely be of great benefit to the Kingdom of Thunder with the Kingdom of Frost as a buffer zone, and it can also be used as a buffer zone.

This reopens the route south.
To be continued...
