"The reason why you are here... I heard from Orochimaru. What are your plans?" After persuading Orochimaru and Kimimaro, Guan Liyuan finally had time to greet Sasuke.

As for the other "captives"...

Because Orochimaru had already agreed to the current result and theoretically gave all the power to Guan Liyuan, Guan Liyuan directly let him manage it himself, and only Sasuke stayed here.

"I... want to become stronger!" Sasuke's eyes looked very stubborn.

"Yeah, that's a good idea." Guan Liyuan said perfunctorily.

"I want to stay here!"

"Yeah, I think so too..."

When it really doesn't work, at least you can use Sasuke as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Uchiha Itachi, right?

Of course, this method is not fair, and Guan Liyuan will not do it easily.

But now Sasuke knows too much, and Guan Liyuan certainly can't let him go back directly... Not to mention that Sasuke himself doesn't want to go back.

"Then you'd better be Orochimaru's assistant first." Guan Liyuan actually didn't know whether Orochimaru, who no longer needed to change his body, would still care about Sasuke.

"No, you are stronger than Orochimaru!" Sasuke said stubbornly.

"Huh? But Orochimaru is more suitable to be a teacher. Although he looks like a pervert, he is actually the type who can teach people very well!"

Sasuke still looked at him.

Guan Liyuan had no choice but to say, "You are still too weak now. Be Orochimaru's assistant! When you can defeat Orochimaru, come to me again!"

After sending Sasuke away, Guan Liyuan returned to Tianyin Village while hiding his tracks, thinking about the urgent news that Bai had sent before.

Kimimaro will also go to Tianyin Village later, but because of physical reasons, the journey will take a long time, and he will basically be carried by several Oto-nin.

As for the northern stronghold... Guan Liyuan has already told Orochimaru that he has three days to "move". Although this is one of Orochimaru's largest secret strongholds in Tianzhiguo, Guan Liyuan destroyed the environment at the entrance during the previous battle, so it is no longer safe!

It is estimated that no matter how eloquent Taketori Osamu is, agreeing to cooperate with Konoha to search for the remnants of Orochimaru is a condition that will inevitably be proposed. Therefore, this place is not safe now. Guan Liyuan simply plans to "discover" this place as scheduled after a few days as an "explanation" to Konoha.

"What are the reformists in Kirigakure... thinking?" Guan Liyuan recalled the content of Bai's urgent letter.

There is only one core message, that is, the fourth generation Mizukage Yagura died. Before his death, he revealed the fact that he was controlled by Akatsuki and handed over Kirigakure to the reformists!

Therefore, a civil strife in Kirigakure was avoided...

As for the cause of Yagura's death, the letter only mentioned that it was because the three-tailed Isobu was out of control, and Guan Liyuan was not clear about the details.

However, these were still within Guan Liyuan's expectations. The reason for his surprise was that the fifth generation Mizukage who took office later was not the leader of the reformists, Mei Terumi, but a person he never expected-Zabuza Momochi! Guan Liyuan

now really wants to know what happened in Kirigakure?

After much difficulty, Yagura's last will and testament before his death made the diehards submit to the reformists... Why was Zabuza Momochi, who had just returned to Kirigakure more than two months ago, the one who took office in the end?

Although it was guessed before that as one of the first "righteous men" to resist the Fourth Mizukage, Zabuza Momochi should have done well after the Kirigakure changed, why did he directly become the Fifth Mizukage?

Well, Guan Liyuan certainly couldn't guess now, just seven days ago, after Yagura's death, in the Kirigakure meeting, Zabuza talked about the future reform and development of Kirigakure in an unusual way...

"...That's right, if you want to resolve this contradiction, you can only start with 'material resources'! As long as the material resources are increased to the same speed as the growth of military resources, the contradiction can be eased!" Zabuza stunned Mei Terumi, Ao, Chojuro and others present.

Finally, at the end of the meeting, when everyone was ready to nominate Mei Terumi as the fifth Mizukage according to what was previously agreed, Mei Terumi refused and strongly recommended Zabuza Momochi!

Although Qing, Chojuro and others did not agree with this, because of Mei Terumi's strong refusal, and the current situation of Kirigakure no longer allowed the position of Mizukage to remain vacant, so as not to add variables, and Zabuza's previous words did make everyone look at him with new eyes... After combining

many rare conditions, Zabuza Momochi finally became the fifth Mizukage. After

Guan Liyuan met Bai, he also heard her talk about the specific news of the Land of Water.

It is said that the official statement of Kirigakure is that when Zabuza Momochi was in the Ninja School, he hated the blood mist policy. In order to end the blood mist policy, Zabuza reluctantly killed all the students in his class, forcing the reactionary rulers at the time to end the graduation exam of killing each other.

After becoming an elite jonin, he resolutely assassinated the Fourth Mizukage despite the gap in strength, lighting the way for countless pioneers of innovation in the Land of Water...

After the assassination failed, Zabuza, who fled the Land of Water, was still worried about the Hidden Mist Village, and traveled to various countries to seek a way out for the Hidden Mist Village.

What a heroic epic that makes people pee. After reading the complete version of the message from the Land of Water, Guan Liyuan was so "moved" that he almost laughed out of tears... It seems that telling lies is really not Konoha's specialty!

"Heipi is really lucky. I spent so much effort to get a small piece of the Land of Fields that is not even enough to test the new system, and I still have to worry about Konoha's trouble... Heipi actually picked up a Hidden Mist Village that Konoha dared not touch for nothing?"

Guan Liyuan found that "Bai" was staring at him, as if expressing dissatisfaction with Zabuza's "nickname", so he coughed twice in embarrassment.

At this time, the black-robed man who had been following Guan Liyuan suddenly said, "Master Guan Liyuan, can we start practicing now? I'm afraid I don't have much time left."

"Eh? Is this the same clan as Master Guan Liyuan? So... you found Orochimaru's base?" Bai had wanted to ask who this guy was before. "That's

right... I'll tell you the details when Xiu comes! There are still some places that need to be arranged about the base I found..."

Guan Liyuan rubbed his head and thought to himself, "The task of "transforming the ninja world" is really more daunting than I imagined.

This is when the "scientific research" matters are handed over to Orochimaru, and most of the affairs involving the Hidden Field Village are handed over to Taketori Xiu to handle...

It's really not that easy to get the favor of the will of the universe!

However, as an "outsider", if you can't get the favor of the will of the universe, even if you have the blood of all the bloodline limits, you can't awaken the bloodline.

"... Let's find a place to exchange the techniques of 'Corpse Veins'." After Guan Liyuan and Bai had finished their talks, he said to Kimimaro.

Guan Liyuan was not in a hurry at first. After all, Orochimaru was there, and Kimimaro's genetic information was ready. Wouldn't he be able to be "reincarnated" after death?

But then Orochimaru reminded him of one thing, which was the reason why the convenient ninjutsu of "Reincarnation" that resurrected the dead became a forbidden technique...

The soul that is the target of "Reincarnation" will never return to the world that the dead should go to - that is, the "Pure Land of Bliss". Either

be sealed or disappear completely!

Unless it is sealed in other sealing techniques like Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, in theory, "Reincarnation" cannot be effective twice on the same target, because once this technique is lifted, the soul of the dead will disappear.

If it is not lifted...

the body of the filthy earth has the effect of infinite recovery and infinite chakra. In fact, this is an ability to continuously absorb external natural energy and generate chakra. After all, the body of the filthy earth has no essence, qi, and spirit to be refined... At the same time,

the natural energy of the body of the filthy earth will continue to erode the soul. Even if there is no contact with the technique, the person who is reincarnated by the filthy earth will not exist forever. If it exists for too long, it will gradually fall into madness like Chougo, and then eventually the soul will collapse!

Therefore, the "filthy earth reincarnation" was defined as a forbidden technique by its founder, Senju Hashirama. After all, this technique that prevents people from entering the "Pure Land of Bliss" is untenable and unacceptable in the world of Naruto.

Orochimaru later improved the auxiliary means of controlling the behavior of the person being cast to avoid losing control...

Although a die-hard warrior like Kimimaro said that he didn't care that he couldn't enter the "Pure Land of Bliss" after death, Guan Liyuan couldn't take advantage of his indifference and prevent him from reincarnation in order to learn the skills of the corpse bone vein.

Guan Liyuan and Kimimaro "communicated" for an afternoon. Most of the time, Kimimaro was explaining, and sometimes he would answer some questions from Guan Liyuan. After he demonstrated a few times, he even vomited blood on the spot. Guan Liyuan immediately asked him to rest for a night...

At this time, Taketori Osamu finally sent away the envoy of Konoha and told Guan Liyuan the result of the negotiation! Sure enough

, Konoha generally admitted that the current Tianyin Village was not the remnant of Orochimaru, and to a certain extent, it helped them to eliminate the remnant of Orochimaru.

However, Konoha also made a request, that is, the Tianyin Village should cooperate with them in the future to search the entire territory of Tianzhiguo and further crack down on the possible remnant forces of Orochimaru...

In fact, this behavior of dispatching ninjas to search in other countries and asking the other ninjas to cooperate is already very excessive, but this condition is within the expectations of Guan Liyuan and Taketori Osamu.

For the real plan later, Taketori Osamu compromised after expressing enough indignation in front of the envoy, and exchanged this condition for enough "compensation".

Other common treaties, such as all matters unrelated to Orochimaru found during the search, Konoha cannot interfere, friendly relations are established, all ninjas entering and leaving the country are registered, and no hostile lurking... are not mentioned.

Guan Liyuan also told Taketori Osamu in advance that he must strive for an important condition...

"How is it? Did Konoha agree?" Guan Liyuan asked nervously.

He was not sure at first, but after hearing Orochimaru talk about his understanding of Uchiha Itachi, Guan Liyuan felt much more hopeful.

"The messenger said that he would go back to ask the Hokage and the Council for instructions, and there seemed to be signs of loosening up... But is this really worthwhile for us? Only 50% of the reward?" Taketori Osamu asked doubtfully.

"50% of the reward? If I wasn't worried about Konoha's suspicion, I wouldn't even take a penny..." Guan Liyuan said meaningfully.

Guan Liyuan's condition is very simple. From now on, all tasks of Konoha involving the Land of Fields, the Land of Taki, the Land of Hot Springs, the Land of Snow, the Land of Frost... and other northern countries except the Land of Iron, will be "outsourced" to the Village of Tianyin, and the Village of Tianyin will take half of the task reward.

If the task fails in the hands of the Land of Fields, the Land of Fields will also take full responsibility...

In Guan Liyuan's expectation, just one week later, the Konoha search team has arrived, and also brought the news of successful negotiations. From now on, all tasks of Konoha involving the small countries in the north of the continent will be taken over by the Village of Tianyin after entering the northern region! Along

with the search team came Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura - the seven teams that were missing one of the three.

They had a mission, which was to escort the heir of the Village of Takiyin, "Shibuki Cheng", back to the Village of Takiyin... Because of the new agreement between Konoha and the Village of Tianyin, they directly sent Shibuki Cheng to the Village of Tianyin, and then the Village of Tianyin sent him back to the Village of Takiyin!
