"Master Guan Liyuan, how do we deal with these guys?" Huan Youmaru asked Guan Liyuan.

At this time, several "rebel ninjas" from the Hidden Rain Village and a Jonin rebel ninja from the Hidden Rain Village had been tied up and were about to be tied with Haku's Senbon, and thrown aside to wait for their fate... Previously,

Guan Liyuan took Huan Youmaru, Haku, and Jūgo to "escort" the new leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Shibuki Cheng, back to the Hidden Rain Village. As a result, after arriving at the destination, they found that someone in the Hidden Rain Village was attacked!

It turned out that the Jonin Shuiyan, who coveted the "Hero's Water" in the village, and the rebel ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village, Bingyu and Wu Yu, as well as some of their Chunin and Genin subordinates, attacked the Hidden Rain Village and threatened Shibuki Cheng to hand over the location of the "Hero's Water".

In a desperate situation, Shibuki Cheng had to ask Guan Liyuan and others for help, and led them into Takigakure Village...

Then it was Bai, Genyoumaru and Jūgo. The three of them slaughtered the rebel ninjas of Takigakure Village and Yugakure Village. Guan Liyuan didn't need to expose his sage body at all. He was now asking Guan Liyuan for instructions!

The so-called Takigakure Village jonin was not as strong as Bai. With Genyoumaru and Jūgo, the other side had no room to fight back.

"He was the former jonin of Takigakure Village, right? Then let Chief Shibuki deal with him. As for the others... Bai, make sure their chakra is controlled, and then escort them back to Tiangakure Village." Guan

Liyuan summoned the Pidgeot, wrapped a small scroll around his feet, and let it fly out, as if to send a message to Tiangakure Village.

Shibuki Cheng saw the Pidgeot fly away, and his face couldn't help but look a little strange, but he didn't say much after all. Instead, he thanked Guan Liyuan for rescuing Takigakure Village.

"Fortunately, consultant Guan Liyuan and the three of you are here, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Shibuki Cheng said.

"Chief Shibuki is too polite! As 'neighbors', we should cooperate more... Didn't Chief Shibuki agree to form an alliance with Tianyin Village on the way? We can discuss the specific form of the alliance later..." Guan Liyuan said.

Shibuki Cheng agreed after a little hesitation.

On the way, Shibuki Cheng did promise Guan Liyuan that the tasks within the scope of Takigakure can be opened to Tianyin Village... but only limited to tasks!

After Takigakure Village entered the closed state, most of the tasks in Takigakure were originally open to other ninja villages and the Taketori clan who had lived here before.

It's okay to focus more on opening it to Tianyin Village now...

As for Guan Liyuan's "crazy ideas" such as unified ninja training, full opening of the Takigakure border, assistance in attack and defense, and comprehensive reform of the system of Takigakure... Shibuki Cheng declined politely by talking around!

However, when Guan Liyuan proposed to "talk" about a comprehensive alliance, Shibuki Cheng had no choice but to agree.

The reason was simple. Shibuki Cheng originally only wanted to continue the "tradition" of Takigakure Village, and continue to stay in the village protected by the natural environment without too much contact with the outside world.

But now Guan Liyuan and his team are in Takigakure Village!

Previously, due to the matter of discretion, Shibuki Cheng could only take them into Takigakure Village through the underground water cave. Therefore, Takigakure Village's greatest defensive advantage had disappeared in front of Tiangakure Village, and was completely exposed to the "claws" of Tiangakure Village...

As for silencing...

If they had the ability to silence people, they would not have to bring Guan Liyuan and his team in!

Therefore, Shibuki Cheng no longer had the bargaining chip to refuse Guan Liyuan.

Three days later, when Guan Liyuan and his team left, there were already ninjas from Tiangakure Village outside to meet them. Some of the ninjas, led by Huan Youmaru, stayed in Takigakure Village to avoid attacks from other Rain Ninjas who knew how to enter and exit Takigakure Village.

In addition to the escorted Rain Ninjas such as Bingyu and Wuyu, there were also a group of more than a dozen young Genin from Takigakure Village and seven or eight children from Takigakure... Guan Liyuan

and Shibuki Cheng still reached an agreement that the two countries of Tianlong and Takigakure would reach a comprehensive alliance agreement. The people of Takigakure Village who were taken away were the first batch of candidates for cooperative training of ninjas. After Guan

Liyuan and Taketori Osamu have discussed it, more Tian Ninjas will be stationed soon. As for the complete opening at the national level, Tian Ninjas will also assist Takigakure Ninjas and the royal family of Takigakure to "harmoniously negotiate" at that time. After

returning to Tiangakure Village, Taketori Osamu listened to Guan Liyuan's words and couldn't help but say: "Master Liyuan, this is the real purpose of your request for the right to outsource tasks in the northern region from Konoha, right?"

If so, it is indeed profitable!

Although it seems that Tiangakure Village helps Konoha complete all the tasks in the northern region, and only gets half of the reward, it is actually a loss...

But compared with the entire "Takigakure", the rewards for some tasks are really nothing!

Moreover, once Takigakure is completely stable, it will be able to undertake all tasks within Takigakure without outsourcing to Konoha...

Although Takigakure has little presence now, Takigakure has been annexed by surrounding countries. But a few decades ago, Takigakure was also in the second tier after the five major countries, and Takigakure was the kind that even the first Hokage dared to assassinate! Even now

, although it cannot be compared with the five major countries, it is considered a "big country" like Hotan Country in the northern countries. The Taketori clan who once lived in Takigakure is naturally clear about this.

"Master Ritsuto, do we really have to be so tough when dealing with the royal family of Takigakure? And if I remember correctly, Takigakure has a Jinchūriki. Although that Jinchūriki is not here now, but..." Taketori Osamu said hesitantly.

"The strategic direction of the 'transformation' of Taki Country cannot be changed. The specific steps should refer to the reactions of Fire Country and Earth Country, especially Fire Country. If the reaction is fierce, we will take it slowly. If the reaction is slow, we will take drastic measures! Adhere to the principle of 'when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we take advantage of it'."

Taketori Osamu was shocked when he heard this. Guan Liyuan's tone clearly put the Fire Country and Earth Country in the position of "imaginary enemies"...

"Also, the most important thing is that other things can be delayed, but ideological education cannot be delayed! Whether it is the Land Country or Taki Country, ninjas or ordinary people, we should popularize our ultimate goal and the glory of working for it as much as possible." Guan Liyuan said.

Of course, the "ultimate goal" Guan Liyuan mentioned refers to world peace and the like, and he will not make his purpose of transforming the ninja world public among the people. On the contrary,

in several secret bases of Orochimaru, many of Orochimaru's fans and test subjects... have been instilled with the real "ultimate goal"!

Although Guan Liyuan could not release them all immediately for the sake of confidentiality, fighting for the lofty ideal of world peace is always more subjective than being brainwashed or forced by Orochimaru...

Taketori Osamu was finally convinced by Guan Liyuan. After all, the Taketori clan used to live in a corner of Taki Country and were terrified to attack the Kusagakure Village. But now they dominate the Land of Rice and have the opportunity to annex Taki Country. These major changes were all planned by Guan Liyuan.

However, after Taketori Osamu left, Guan Liyuan was still counting the days with his fingers while exchanging Corpse Vein techniques with Kimimaro every day...

Was it for Taki no Kuni that he obtained the right to outsource Konoha tasks in the north?

Guan Liyuan's goal was not just that!

Finally, a month later, Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura, the seven teams that were missing one person, came to Tianyin Village again.

In fact, in the past month, there were many Konoha ninjas who came to Tianyin Village to take over outsourced tasks. All Konoha's "northern" tasks would be handed over to Tianyin Village.

Orochimaru's prediction was right. After Uchiha Itachi succeeded as the fifth Hokage, Konoha's attitude towards the outside world gradually changed!

Since the Second and Third World Wars, the period when Konoha had the strongest control over small countries outside was when the Third Hokage, the ninja hero Sarutobi Hiruzen, was young. He "strictly watched and guarded" the surrounding small countries and wanted to send Konoha ninjas to stay there permanently.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen got older... especially after the death of the fourth generation in recent years, Konoha's attitude towards the outside world has relaxed a lot.

After Uchiha Itachi came to power, it can be seen that his attitude is completely different from that of the Third Generation, and even gave Guan Liyuan a feeling that "there are always unruly people who want to harm me"!

It seems that he can't wait to outsource the task of involving the north to Tianyin Village...

Uchiha Itachi is obviously more concerned about the internal affairs of the Land of Fire, and his external strategic policies are all focused on the terrorist "Akatsuki Organization", and he is not willing to interfere too much with other countries.

However, because the "Akatsuki Organization" has not surfaced at this time, although the Fifth Generation Hokage himself has proved that his ambitions are not small and his strength is strong, the Hidden Mist Village has also made public some of the crimes of the "Akatsuki Organization" to confuse the Fourth Generation Mizukage, but it still has not attracted enough attention...

After all, the "Akatsuki Organization" has not yet begun to target the Jinchūriki of various countries and collect ninja beasts. Some ambitious people in major countries are even cooperating with the Akatsuki Organization in private. Except for Konoha and Kirigakure, other ninja villages have not yet realized the threat of the "Akatsuki Organization".

On the contrary, no one wants to trap the power of the ninja village in the chaotic Rain Country. Even though Uchiha Itachi knew that there was a branch of the "Akatsuki Organization" there, even Konoha did not approve his proposal to clear it out...

After all, everyone knows that the Rain Country has become a "quagmire in the ninja world" after the death of Hanzo of the Salamander. Intervening in it will only waste manpower and will hardly bring any benefits...

For example, Bingyu and Wuyu, who Guan Liyuan captured this time, are nominally rebel ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village, but in fact... The current state of the Rain Ninja is that they are Rain Ninjas when they are on a mission, and they are rebel ninjas when they are robbing and cutting off the road!

The outside world's understanding of the Hidden Rain Village is that there are bandits and rebel ninjas everywhere...

In order to express friendship, Guan Liyuan also sent several Rain Ninja captives to Konoha.

The Konoha Council and Danzo's Root Organization, which are still in the country at this time, also have the desire to shrink their power after the death of the third generation of the Oita.

The rise of Uchiha Itachi has shifted Konoha's attention from the northern region, which can be said to have given Guan Liyuan a golden period of development!

The mission that Team 7, which is short of one member, handed over to Tianyin Village this time is exactly what Guan Liyuan cares about the most...

An A-level mission, to escort the filming team of Princess Fengyun from the Fire Kingdom to the Snow Kingdom!
