Light of Konoha

At the same time, inside Hōzuki-jō.

In the underground darkroom.

A burly middle-aged Shinōbi stood in front of the huge box, gently stroking the box, and the desire in his eyes was extremely fierce. "Legendary Rikudō Sennin’s Treasure Item, wake up quickly and realize my wish Come on!"

The box naturally won't respond, but he doesn't care.

As long as he thinks of the note he received this afternoon, he can't help but feel excited, "Is it because the quality of the previous offerings was too bad? It doesn't matter, I have found a better substitute. Now, I won’t wait too long..."

At this moment, there was movement from above the dark room.

"Kuroishi -sama, Himasu -sama is here."

"Okay, I will go up here."

The reluctant glanced at Gokuraku no Hakō, Kuroishi put on a smile and walked out.

Outside.

"Kuroishi -senpai, things have been basically figured out." After seeing Kuroishi, Himasu didn't say much, and straight to the point said, "Konoha didn't notice our movements and waited for them to leave. , We can continue."

"Well..." Kuroishi slightly muttered, "Actually I have a new idea."

"New idea?"

"Just let those Konoha Shinōbi stay here forever!"

"Kuroishi -senpai, is this too radical?" Himasu turn pale with fright asked. .

"haha, you guys are too stable, don't take any risks, how can you win the war?" Kuroishi patted his shoulder said with a smile.

Himasu frowns head, "But if this happens then, our intention is completely exposed!"

Kuroishi waved his hand indifferently, "Your thinking is still too rigid. If you invite those young Shinōbi to Iwagakure as a guest, maybe Konoha will unite with us?"

Himasu still hesitated, "But what if Konoha is not threatened? Or, Let’s ask for Tsuchikage-sama, right?"

Kuroishi was very upset, "Are you the leader or I am the leader? When you are finished, the people from Konoha will have run away."

Himasu had to smile wryly, "Okay, I'll let Nasu invite them, but I still have to be careful with that Yamanaka Inoichi."

Kuroishi smiled instantly, "Don't worry, I and Yamanaka clan It’s not the first time to deal with Shinōbi. Just be careful, their Shintenshin no Jutsu won’t be useful."

Himasu nodded, Konoha’s "Ino–Shika–Cho" combination is indeed very difficult to deal with, if it's a single one, just be a little careful.

He was about to leave, and he hesitated to remind him, "Kuroishi -senpai, those prisoners of Hōzuki-jō...you should handle it with caution, in case the other Great Shinōbi Village know that we are accommodating these Battle strength, it’s trouble."

Kuroishi smiled, "Don’t worry, no one will know."

When Himasu leaves, the smile on Kuroishi’s face is little by The disappearance of little.

"Idiot, do you really think I have fancy the power of those prisoners? All I want is their chakra!"

"As for Tsuchikage? Onoki is old. , Tsuchikage should have a more suitable Master for him! No, no! As long as I can master the secrets of Gokuraku no Hakō, what is Tsuchikage? I should become the Master of this World!"

"hehehe… …Huh?"

Just as he was so proud, a pigeon landed on his underfoot.

"The second time today? I should have told him not to contact frequently, right?" Kuroishi's eyes were gloomy, and he picked up the small paper tube, "I hope it's important news, otherwise..."

"En?" After just one glance, Kuroishi's eyes rounded, "damned! He dare... No wonder he said this to me today. Was it for testing?"

Kuroishi sees gloomy and uncertain in his eyes, as if he has made a major determination, and grabs the note in his hand, "Don't blame me, I can't look back!"

……

2nd day ,early morning.

Sōseki, who had just finished the morning training, stood in front of the mirror and muttered to himself, "This plan, in addition to making Yamanaka-sensei pay more attention to my opinions, in order to pave the way for future actions, The experience and insights that I have come down are also indispensable!"

"But before that, I must seal the most critical part of the memory first! As for the key to unblocking, it is designated as Konoha's. Sense barrier!"

Thinking of this, Sōseki no longer hesitated, hand-seal with both hands, and finally pressed to his eyebrows!

……

Outside the residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

"Himasu -sama..."

"Call me Kuroko, remember, my current identity is the deputy warden of Hōzuki-jō!"

"Yes, Kuroko sama." Nasu readily followed the change of good advice, and asked again, "But you said yesterday, don't you need to worry about them?" The neck yelled, "I didn't say it, you must have remembered it wrong!"

Without waiting for Nasu to reply, he turned his head away with a guilty conscience, "Don't waste time, go in."

"Yes!"

The two walked in, had a pretended conversation with Shin Ueno, and were then led to the room of Sōseki and the others.

"Yamanaka -senpai!" Nasu greeted from a distance.

"Nasu, what are you guys?" Yamanaka Inoichi said "confused".

"This is our deputy warden of Hōzuki-jō, Kuroko sama." Nasu gave an introduction and then invited, "We are here today to invite Yamanaka -senpai to visit Hōzuki- jō."

"Hōzuki-jō? What are we going to do there?" Asuma asked at the right time.

"Let’s come down and explain." Himasu looked bitter and enmity, "Ai, Hōzuki-jō’s current situation is too difficult. Both manpower and equipment are almost unsupported. Let’s go down."

"But when we say the words of the lowly carry little weight, no one cares, so I want to invite a few Konoha Shinōbi to be a testimony and see what we see Tell Hokage -sama."

Yamanaka Inoichi frowns, looking a little hesitant.

Red bit her lip on the side, and said pitifully, "Yamanaka-sensei, or help Nasu-senpai them?"

Asuma is a patted breast, a big bag "Yamanaka-sensei, don’t worry! If old fogey blames you for the delay in returning to the village, you can just put the blame on me."

Yamanaka Inoichi said with a bitter smile," Okay, but say it in advance and stay at most for another day!"

"Hokage's son can influence Jonin's decision. Konoha's power domain is really corrupt, ah!" Himasu felt contemptuous. , There was a look of gratitude on his face, "Thank you so much, I will do my best to entertain you all!"

It’s just this reception, which may be different from what you imagined. hehe...Himasu quickly lowered his head, worried that the other party would see his smile.

On the side, looked smugly Himasu, and Nasu felt sympathy, "Sure enough, it’s the same as I was last time, but I don’t know that I am the one being played!"

"Wait Wait, it seems wrong! Last time it was four of them playing me, but this time, it was five of us playing him! Also, Kuroishi might be thinking about how to kill him now!"

Here, Nasu only felt that Himasu was covered with the word "miserable" all over his body, and he couldn't bear to look directly at him!
