Guan Liyuan's directness surprised Taketori Osamu, but the two of them quickly exchanged information...
First of all, what Guan Liyuan cared about the most was why Taketori Osamu was willing to cooperate with him directly without telling the other two elders? Was it
simply for internal struggle?
There is such a possibility... But Guan Liyuan felt something was wrong!
After realizing that he could not gain Guan Liyuan's trust without explaining this, Taketori Osamu had to reveal the truth.
It turned out that when the Kaguya and Taketori tribes were still one, there was a mural of the ancestors that depicted a human with horns on his head, and the Kaguya tribe prospered under his leadership...
The specific story is not clear, because it is in the form of a symbolic mural, and only the general idea can be seen!
Guan Liyuan then understood why the other party showed such an expression when he first met the three elders...
As for who is the person with horns in the painting?
Guan Liyuan didn't know, but he could guess that it might be the Six Paths Sage, and that it was not just the Kaguya clan that followed him. It might also be that the ancestors of the Kaguya clan, descendants of the Six Paths Sage of a certain generation, had also opened up the body of the Sage...
Like all legends, the secret text of the ancestors of the Kaguya clan also had a second half, which probably predicted that there would be another person like this in the Kaguya clan, leading the Kaguya clan to glory...
Most prophecies were deliberately mysterious. For example, this kind of prophecy could be seen as not being fulfilled at all, or it could be explained that Naruto, as the "son of prophecy", also had horns on his head in the Six Paths mode.
However, Guan Liyuan didn't care how it was explained. What the people of the Taketori clan who were really useful thought about it!
Now it seems that Taketori Osamu was half-believing and half-doubting about this matter. Although he would not have too much expectation of Guan Liyuan because of a fictitious legend, he was willing to give it a try.
The other two conservative elders had long been addicted to power. In Osamu's words, they only had power struggles in their hearts, not the glory of the clan!
This can also be clearly seen from the composition of the three elders. Xiu is definitely the youngster among the three. Not only is he young, but he is also the most radical in his thinking...
"Did you initiate the war with Kusagakure Village?" Guan Liyuan looked at Xiu in surprise.
"Of course, they are old... They think that Taki Country is enough to support the Taketori Clan, and they only think about how to have more power in the Taketori Clan, but don't think about how to make the Taketori Clan stronger!" Xiu was a little excited when he said this.
"So you want to annex Kusagakure Village?" Guan Liyuan felt that he was too confident.
"Of course not!" Xiu's tone became more excited.
But he remembered that he came secretly, and still lowered his voice...
"I have proposed to fight with the Grass Village many times. As long as we can suppress the northern fortress of the Grass Village, we can force them to open the task channel within the Grass Country to us. But after repeated proposals, they only agreed to it. I will make my own judgment...
Three months ago, I mobilized my own tribe to fight with the Grass Ninja in the north of the Grass Country. Those trash are just as I imagined. They look strong, but they are some spineless guys. After three months of fighting, in the north of the Grass Country, the Grass Ninja can only return to defend the northern fortress, hoping to rely on the fortress to fight us head-on!"
"In other words, you should be ready for armistice negotiations now?" Guan Liyuan's tone was a little puzzled.
As far as he knew, the northern fortress should be breached in the end, and even the Grass Village was temporarily breached!
That's why the rebel ninja who was taking advantage of the situation captured Karin, and then Karin was rescued by Orochimaru...
Could it be that this part is different from the plot he knew, and it is an illusion caused by the cosmic signal reception barrier?
"My original plan was like this... But those two guys also smelled the taste of profit, mobilized their own tribes, and wanted to go to war with the Grass Village! And in order to balance my growing reputation in the tribe after winning consecutive battles, they also wanted to directly break through the northern fortress, completely replace the Grass Village, and become the master of the Grass Country Ninja World..."
Xiu obviously also understood that forcing the Grass Village to give up some of the Grass Country's tasks was simple, but if you want to destroy the Grass Village, the price to pay is definitely not small, and there is a high probability that Konoha will beat it back!
But now, Shouji and Long only saw that the Grass Ninjas were retreating under Xiu's offensive, and they were still thinking about how to gain greater reputation in the "Battle to Destroy the Grass Ninjas"...
"Didn't the Hyuga clan remind them?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
[No matter how stupid those two old men are, they wouldn't think they can fight Konoha head-on, right? ]
"Hyuga clan? Is it the Hyuga clan of Konoha? They have a good relationship with the Kaguya clan in the past, but... they have no connection with us." Xiu said.
[The Hyuga clan and the Taketori clan are "unfamiliar"? Then why did Hizashi bring Hanabi to visit the Taketori clan when Pain destroyed Konoha? Is this part "fake"? ]
Guan Liyuan felt that he had vaguely thought of something, but he didn't catch this inspiration, so he had to put it aside for the time being.
"How strong is the Kusagakure Village?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"The Kusagakure Village is very strong, but the Kusagakure Ninjas in the Land of Grass are just trash!"
Guan Liyuan didn't understand what Xiu said at all.
"Liyuan... do you know about the Battle of Kamnubi Bridge 14 years ago?"
"It seems to be the battle in the Third Ninja World War where Konoha defeated the invading Iwagakure..."
"Yes, but to be more precise, it was the coalition of Iwagakure and Kusagakure! Although the strength of Kusagakure was not as good as the five major ninja villages at that time, it could also be ranked among the top among the second-rate ninja villages. At that time, the Iwagakure and the allied Kusagakure attacked the northwest of the Land of Fire together. Because of Konoha's multi-line wars, Konoha was once put in a passive position. However, later, with Konoha destroying the Kamnubi Bridge in the Land of Grass and cutting off the supply line of the Iwagakure and Kusagakure coalition forces, Konoha stabilized the situation in the northwest..."
In addition to what Xiu said, Guan Liyuan knew something more important!
In fact, in the northwest battlefield of the Third World War, the battle of Kannabi Bridge alone was not very impressive. It was only because it was the turning point for Konoha to switch from defense to offense in the northwest battlefield that it became famous...
However, Guan Liyuan knew that something happened at Kannabi Bridge that was truly enough to change the fate of the ninja world, and that was Uchiha Obito's "death" at Kannabi Bridge!
"After the Third World War, Konoha and the Rock Ninjas made a truce... Konoha did not dare to force the Rock Ninjas, who were also one of the five major ninja villages, too much, but the Hidden Grass Village did not have the strength to protect itself. After the Third World War, Konoha also took advantage of the victory in the northwest and accepted the ninja world of the Grass Country as its "ally"!"
Hearing Xiu say this, Guan Liyuan could probably guess what happened...
"Most of the original Kusagakure ninjas were relocated overseas. They were not exterminated by Konoha due to the checks and balances of other large ninja villages. Now, some of the Kusagakure ninjas in the Land of Grass are spineless and will immediately surrender to Konoha after the defeat. Some are rebel ninjas who were accepted without any bottom line, and some are new ninjas that were trained later!" Xiu's tone was full of disdain for the Kusagakure ninjas now. After
hearing this, Guan Liyuan showed a look of realization...
No wonder the Kusagakure ninjas in Karin's memories were so shameless, and the overseas Kusagakure ninjas... vaguely matched the Kusagakure ninjas and Kizuna Castle in the movie!
