"But in order to convince the elders Shoji and Takashi..."
Xiu finally agreed to fulfill the deal... After all, whether it was from the perspective of interests, morality, or "Sadaharu's side", he could not default on his debt. But
Xiu also said in the end that he could not influence the decisions of Shoji and Takashi, and he felt that according to the ideas of those two, even if they explained the pros and cons, the other party might not be able to make the most favorable judgment for the Taketori clan!
"Speed is the essence of war! Tonight we must travel day and night, approach the southern border of Tianzhi Country, and attack Tianzhi Country in two days... If you completely break with Shoji and Takashi, how many people can you take with you?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"I have about 60 to 70 direct descendants, and there should be 60 to 70 neutral clan members who can follow me."
When Xiu launched the war to conquer the Land of Grass, he mobilized more than 170 people, but it did not mean that he would break with the other two old elders. These people would follow him...
"Will Kong go with you?"
"Of course!"
"That's enough. No matter how many people we can convince in the end, the secret scroll of the Kaguya clan will arrive tonight, and we will be on the road soon... Believe me, this will be the real turning point in the fate of the Taketori clan." Guan Liyuan said.
Guan Liyuan did not want power. From the perspective of a "noble administrator", gaining power in the Naruto world has no meaning. The only thing he wanted was to change the rules of the ninja world and push the ninja world system to the next stable period from the root.
If successful, the ninja world will enter a relatively peaceful period that lasts longer than after the end of World War I...
Although Guan Liyuan is subjectively seeking the favor of the universe's will, so as to awaken a further co-killing ash bone and even a stronger bloodline, objectively, Guan Liyuan is now close to a saint who is just for the public good, just like the Six Paths Sage and Senju Hashirama...
In order to achieve this goal, Guan Liyuan needs some team members and a piece of land where he can practice what he wants.
Correspondingly, as long as Taketori Osamu is willing to cooperate, Guan Liyuan has no intention of competing with him for power.
Taketori Osamu also chased in the direction of the grass ninjas' flight, but he did it to gather his own direct lineage and the clansmen who might be persuaded by him.
Oh, especially to chase Sora back!
With that guy's "let go" personality, it is unknown how far he has been chased, and it may be lost if it is later...
When Guan Liyuan was watching this chase, he also understood more why Osamu was so disdainful of the grass ninjas here, and even believed that chasing the fleeing grass ninjas did not require command.
After entering the state of rout, the Kusagakure ninjas were in no order at all. The Jounin who was in charge had already run away. The Chunin and the elite Genin ran fast, and the weakest Genin were behind.
Moreover, most of them had no intention of fighting. The few who turned around and wanted to fight desperately could not make any waves due to the number of people. Instead, it played the effect of bad money driving out good money...
Those who still had the courage to fight died in the first place, and the weakest ninjas behind were caught up and harvested first. The stronger the strength, the faster they ran... How could they not lose?
Guan Liyuan didn't know that although the Kusagakure ninjas were not good, they would not have behaved so embarrassedly if Kurama hadn't scared them out of their wits!
Kurama and Bai came back soon, which surprised Guan Liyuan. He originally thought that Kurama wanted to chase to the Kusagakure Village in one breath, and was hesitating whether to use the method of canceling the summons to call it back...
However, when he saw its lack of interest, he knew that the performance of the Kusagakure ninjas made it lose interest in chasing.
Guan Liyuan also discovered that the two had brought back a person who was wearing Kusanagi clothes, full-frame glasses, and had red hair, the unique red color of the Uzumaki clan!
Guan Liyuan, who had a vague guess about his identity, couldn't help but feel happy.
"Huh? Uzumaki clan... You were the one who treated the injured Kusanagi before?" Guan Liyuan asked directly.
At this time, Karin didn't have the aggressive personality that she later developed from Orochimaru. When she saw Guan Liyuan asking her, she was so scared that she immediately hid behind Shiro, with only half of her head exposed... She looked "trembling.jpg".
At this time, Karin was still young, and because of the harsh treatment of the Kusanagi, her height was about the same as Naruto, much shorter than Shiro.
"Master Liyuan, she was captured by the Kusagakure ninjas before... She didn't look like one of their companions, but was coerced. Someone bit her and wanted to throw her away to avoid being a burden. They were also worried that the Taketori clan would find her, so they decided to silence her. But I found out...
Then Sadaharu said she had a familiar smell. I thought she might be the one Master Liyuan was looking for, so I brought her back. But she's a bit timid..."
Not to mention that Kurama was grinning at his new name, Karin seemed to have aroused Bai's sympathy. As he spoke, he reached out and touched the top of Karin's head to comfort her.
However, Guan Liyuan was surprised to find that Karin's expression...
[Hey! Bai! She's blushing while looking at you! You seem to be being stared at by a nympho! Although this nympho is timid, he really has a nympho expression now! Is it really okay? ]
Guan Liyuan didn't know how to remind Bai, who hadn't noticed that she was being stared at by a nympho, and he didn't know how to remind Karin, who didn't notice Bai's gender.
I had no choice but to stick to the principle of "life is already so difficult, some things should not be exposed", and chose to keep my mouth shut.
At the same time, I was also suspicious, could it be that Karin has the hero-saving-beauty syndrome?
As long as she is saved by a handsome (gay) handsome (gay) boy, she will show her lovelorn side?
In the original causal line, Karin was saved by Sasuke once during the Chunin Exam. Although Sasuke forgot about this little thing afterwards, Karin always remembered it. After seeing Sasuke in the base of Orochimaru, her lovelorn attribute was further triggered...
Could it be that after being saved by Bai this time, she "fell in love with someone else" so quickly?
Wait!
Guan Liyuan suddenly remembered something, and searched through the chat records between himself and Naruto in his consciousness, and found some descriptions of Naruto in the round of exams for the "Scroll of Heaven and Earth"...
"Scroll of Heaven? Why do I remember that Naruto and the others should have got the Scroll of Earth in the original plot? In other words..." Guan Liyuan muttered softly.
Bai was no longer surprised by Guan Liyuan's mumbling, but Karin thought that the "Liyuan-sama" Bai mentioned was a weirdo!
"Karin, you took part in the Chunin Exam before, right?" Guan Liyuan asked directly.
Karin nodded with some fear. It seemed that her experience in Kusagakure made her wary of people other than Bai who saved her.
"The second exam should be to collect the 'Heaven and Earth Scroll'? Which scroll did you get at that time?"
"It's... the Scroll of Earth." Karin didn't know why this weirdo asked this.
"Who robbed your scroll in the end?"
Karin looked like she was about to cry when she heard that, and said aggrievedly: "It was a Konoha ninja! A Genin with a palm-leaf fan family crest on his back!"
She was sent to the Northern Fortress because the "Scroll of Earth" was robbed while she was keeping it.
Of course... Karin also understood that even if this incident didn't happen, she was just a tool to restore health and mana in the eyes of the Kusanagi!
And Guan Liyuan finally "solved the case"!
It seems that because of some indirect influence caused by her appearance, Team 7 got the Scroll of Heaven.
Obviously, even if Sasuke met Karin, he would not be so easy to talk to, and he would definitely choose to grab the scroll first...
