Chapter 159 Chapter 159 Plot Advancement

Sensing Orochimaru's sudden disappearance from the center of the illusion, Tsunade frowned and said angrily, "He got away again," without even moving forward.

She looked at the grandfathers who were chatting nearby from a distance, and saw that the old people next to her had no unusual expressions, and a gloomy look flashed across her eyes.

Standing in front of the master who had trained them, they seemed to be able to continue communicating with their grandfather and others with a clear conscience, as if the demise of the Thousand Hands lineage had nothing to do with them.

But that's true.

After all, no one forced the direct descendants of Senju to go to the battlefield. It was the second grandfather who died in the Land of Thunder, and Senju was the founding family of the village. Senju put himself on the high platform.

They had told him about the dangers of the Wood Release experiment when they started it, but Senju still plunged into it headfirst based on the possibility that "Since he is Senju's bloodline, he has a higher chance of success."

By the time she realized what was happening, she was the only one left in Qianshou, along with her brother and a group of elderly people who were about to die...

And now, she is the only one left.

If Grandpa and the others knew that Qianshou was no longer alive, would they be disappointed in her?

She neither became the backbone of the Thousand Hands nor prevented the decline of the direct line in time.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the guilt that was churning in her heart, but still tried to maintain her normal emotions and walked straight towards the three Hokage.

At least don't let them worry before grandpa and the others leave.

Jiraiya stood in front of the corpse for a long time, and unwillingly turned the lifeless corpse over, revealing a face that was completely different from Orochimaru's.

He pursed his lips, glanced at Tsunade, whose eyes were red, and the obviously agitated First Hokage in the distance, ignoring his colleagues who had gathered around him. He fixed his gaze on the two sages who were also frowning and thinking about something.

"Two Immortals, please take me back to Myōboku-san. I need to speak to the Immortal."

Recently, unexpected events have occurred one after another. Except for the child of destiny who seems to have been found by him, all things are moving in a direction that is unfavorable to them.

He had to go to the □□ Immortal to confirm some things and see if he could get some key to breaking the deadlock.

As the two sages spontaneously released their summoning technique and disappeared, Jiraiya gave some instructions to Kakashi, who was closest to him, and then he also turned into a puff of white smoke with the reverse summoning technique and completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Only a still warm corpse was left at the scene, which was carefully sealed by Morino Ibiki, who planned to see if he could find some useful information from the corpse's memory.

But before Ibiki could get up, he suddenly felt a noticeable vibration from his body.

"It's six o'clock." Someone in the crowd reminded.

This is the release time of Tianyan Chamber of Commerce’s daily newspaper.

The most obvious change that the Tianyan Chamber of Commerce has brought to the ninja world in recent years is the liberation of human power and the narrowing of the distance between people.

In addition to the well-known appliances, there are also widespread surveillance and video equipment that can be used for monitoring and communication; large computers that can be used for simple games, communication, and computational experiments; and more compact and portable communicators for communication...

Tianyan Chamber of Commerce directly raised the technology tree of the ninja world by several levels in an instant, like pulling onions out of dry land.

Ordinary people have quickly adapted to the various conveniences that have appeared in their lives, but ninjas are much more cautious.

Because they were worried that the information would be intercepted or leaked by the Chamber of Commerce when they communicated with each other, the information exchange between ninjas still relied more on scrolls and word of mouth.

But no matter how worried the five major ninja villages are about information leaks, some of their public expressions of attitude still require the use of communicators and computers.

Not to mention that computers and communicators also have a daily reporting function which is also very important to them.

Today, the members of Tianyan Chamber of Commerce are spread across countries large and small, and they are aware of all the local events, big and small, which are not secret. The Dang Daily was born in such an environment.

Every day, the Chamber of Commerce collects important changes and emergencies in various places from the previous day and the current day, and assists in sending some interesting or conflicting neighborhood conversations or disputes.

Ordinary people can rely on this communicator to more quickly learn about major and interesting events happening in their country and other countries, and can even directly provide what is happening around them to the Chamber of Commerce in exchange for a certain amount of compensation.

In recent years, many such intelligence intermediaries have emerged, and ninjas can occasionally obtain some basic intelligence that is more useful to them in a timely manner.

In this way, the Chamber of Commerce subtly implanted its own ideas into these daily newspapers, conveying them to the eyes of people who had struggled in the war all their lives, and implicitly gave their opinions.

Tell them about the cause and effect of good and evil, and establish their three views.

The summary is completed before noon every day, edited in the afternoon, and sent to all contact devices in the form of MMS at dinner time. You can even see the corresponding interview video on the computer. It has now become a pastime for many people before and after dinner.

For example, the Uchiha rebellion incident was known to the entire ninja world in just one or two days. The next day, ninjas from other countries went to the Fire Country to gather detailed intelligence, and the Chamber of Commerce's daily report function also made a lot of contributions.

Many people around had subconsciously reached for their communicators, but after clicking on the MMS, their originally indifferent expressions suddenly turned colorful.

On the screen, you can also see a very prominent notification at the top of the day's newspaper.

The Akatsuki organization has defected from the Tianyan Chamber of Commerce and committed atrocities in the Land of Lightning, causing great damage to the Chamber of Commerce's reputation and interests. The Chamber of Commerce will provide abundant funds and hope to obtain the help of the five major ninja villages to eradicate the Akatsuki organization, which is a cancer. Please be informed of this by the leaders of all countries and ninja villages.

At the same time, a notice issued by Taki no Kuni followed immediately below:

After internal consultations within Takiguni Village, the new leader of Takiguni Village will be Uchiha Feng. The Daimyo of Taki Country publicly expressed his approval and stated that he would not interfere in the internal affairs of Takiguni Village. As long as Takiguni Village can ensure normal national security and stability, they have no objection to whether the person in charge of Takiguni Village is the indigenous people or the Uchiha people.

At the same time, the Daimyo provided funds specifically for the post-war reconstruction of Takinin Village, hoping that everyone will work together in the coming time...

“They are so brave!!!”

Morino Ibiki hung up the communicator with a grim expression, looked in the direction of the Hokage, and wanted to interrupt the senior management who were communicating several times to let the third generation and others see the ugly faces of Takiguni and Uchiha.

Taki no Kuni is directly slapping Konoha in the face!!!

And there’s Orochimaru who caused such a big fuss in Konoha today!

The clothes he wore today were obviously exclusive to Akatsuki. According to rumors, Orochimaru had long been following Ali. It was obvious that Akatsuki and Ali were in the same group!

At this time, the four people who were picnicking in the dense forest also received the news. Ali opened the map and looked at the green area on the map, except for the Iron Country. He looked at Obito in a good mood and said, "The Five Kage Tournament will probably be in the next few days. You should keep a close eye on it."

Obito, who was sitting opposite Ali, had his mask pushed up to the top of his head. His hands were constantly moving. He raised his eyes, glanced at the map in front of Ali, and nodded.

These people would never have guessed what this announcement represented...

The representatives of those small nations and the ninja villages they owned had undergone a major shakeup in just a few days. No one would have imagined that a new nation would quietly emerge without the notice of the major powers, closing in on them and completely dividing and surrounding the five major nations...

And they have already pushed the Moon Eye Project to its final stage.

They have already obtained the Two-Tail, Seven-Tail, Eight-Tail, and even part of the Nine-Tail. News has also come from the Akatsuki organization that the locations of all the tailed beasts have been determined and all members have arrived. By tonight at the latest, the remaining tailed beasts will be captured.

When this news gets out at dawn, the people from the five major ninja villages will probably be so angry that they want to tear Ali's skin off alive.

At least now, the Thunder Ninja Village can no longer tolerate Ali's existence.

…

The Kingdom of Wind...

Desert nights are far from peaceful.

The howling cold wind carried the sand and gravel, making a whistling sound, carrying with it an imperceptible murderous intent.

Following a few almost inaudible "puff" sounds, several ninjas hiding in the dark fell outside a house on the outermost edge of the Sand Village.

“It always feels like it’s going too smoothly.”

Even when they stood in front of the One-Tail Jinchuriki, Deidara still frowned and asked suspiciously, "Didn't they say that this year's Jinchuriki is the son of the Kazekage?"

The building before our eyes is almost renamed a haunted house. How can it be the normal living environment for a village?

This Jinchūriki must have been chased out by his father, right?

Deidara tutted in dissatisfaction.

I thought that as a disciple of the village shadow, being driven out of the village by the villagers and living on my own was already very unusual, but I didn't expect to encounter someone even more miserable.

It seems that blood relationship is not very reliable.

But soon, his attention shifted back to the goal of this mission, and he taunted carelessly:

"The Sand Village is really careless. The tailed beasts are combat resources after all. They are just placed on the outermost perimeter. Who can that little barrier stop? Aren't they afraid that one day the tailed beasts will go berserk and run away?"

Kakuzu responded gravely, "I heard that the current Kazekage can directly seal the tailed beasts, so it's best not to be careless."

Deidara nonchalantly pushed open the unlocked door and swaggered in.

"We entered through the back door of the scorpion, without alerting the barrier or the guards at all. The children should still be asleep at this time. As long as we move quickly, this place is far away from the core of the village, maybe by the time we take everyone away, the villagers won't even notice."

"Besides, no matter how strong that Kazekage is, can't we handle it?"

"Take that brat away as soon as possible. I don't like the desert weather."

"If I had known this would happen, I could have just asked Scorpion to bring two reserves over and it would have been done."

Upon hearing this, Feidan shouted in dissatisfaction: "Then we have come here for nothing?"

It has been a long time since he sacrificed a high-quality soul to the evil god.

Ever since he was split into several parts by Nagato and forced to join the organization, except for being able to freely kill those ninjas who came to him without any restraint during missions and make some contributions to the evil god, the rest of the time, he could only hurt his partner Kakuzu and get some physical satisfaction.

I thought I could get some good stuff indirectly in the process of capturing the tailed beasts this time.

Scorpion didn't go in, but turned his gaze to a bedroom in the house and warned: "Don't be careless, the trouble with the Jinchūriki is never themselves..."

Inside the room, a huge amount of chakra could be clearly felt approaching slowly. With the creaking sound of the door opening, a small figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Are you here to kill me too?"
