"Clan elder Xiu! What do you mean by this?"

In the northern fortress, Shousi and Long questioned Xiu!

Obviously, the fact that Xiu had "taken" all the secret scrolls of the Kaguya clan privately had been exposed...Originally, Xiu did not think that this matter could be concealed.

"Isn't the loss that Lord Liyuan avoided for the Taketori clan worth this?" Xiu did not intend to refute.

"You..." Shousi was speechless when he saw him being so straightforward.

Originally, he and Long had discussed that the secret scrolls of the Kaguya clan would be handed over to Guan Liyuan in batches as "part of the records extracted from the books of the Taketori clan" in order to reuse the abilities of Guan Liyuan and "Sadaharu"!

Of course, it would be even better if they could find the secret of Guan Liyuan's control of "Sadaharu" during this period...

Who knew that after they chased the Kusa ninja all the way and returned triumphantly, they received news that all the secret scrolls of the Kaguya clan had been taken away by Xiu, and when they came to find Xiu, he said that they had all been handed over to Guan Liyuan!

Is the loss that Guan Liyuan helped them reduce this time worth these secret scrolls?

Of course it is! But if there is a chance to make more, why not make more?

"You are disregarding the interests of the Taketori clan and pursuing your own interests!"

"What interests did I pursue? Don't forget who attacked the Kusagakure in the first place!" Xiu said angrily.

"Humph, who knows what kind of deal you made with him..." Jiang Si said disdainfully.

And then Elder Long suddenly said: "Wait, Elder Jiang Si, in my opinion, Elder Xiu should not betray the Taketori clan... But in order to reduce the doubts of the clan members, I think Elder Xiu should not participate in the next battle." Long

gave Jiang Si a look...

Jiang Si also understood what he meant. The matter of the secret scroll was a fait accompli... Can he still ask Guan Liyuan to snatch it back?

Moreover, Xiu is now fully grown, and it is impossible for him to be deprived of his position as a clan elder because of this matter. What he should do next is to seek benefits for himself as much as possible!

"Well, then let's do as Elder Long said... Elder Xiu, you will be responsible for guarding the northern fortress first, to prevent the northern grass ninja from reviving." Shouji said in a high-sounding manner.

Xiu looked at the two with contempt. Everyone knew that the remaining battle was just a division of interests... at least that was the case before Konoha intervened.

Taketori Xiu asked Guan Liyuan to break the northern fortress to make profits for the entire Taketori clan, and now the two of them are using this as an excuse to weaken him?

Although Xiu originally promised Guan Liyuan that he would not tell others about Orochimaru's information, he still wanted to try his best to convince the other two...

However, now Xiu suddenly felt that continuing to be involved with such people would be a complete burden! He

simply said, "No need! I will take my tribe and leave the Grass Country right away!"

Hearing this, Shoji thought Xiu was going to go back, and pretended to be sincere and said, "Oh? Xiu's tribe is always worried that the Grass Ninja will jump out of desperation, so you want to go back to guard the tribe? Well... that's fine."

"No, my tribe will leave the Grass Country and the Taki Country in the future. You don't need to discuss anything you want to do in the future!"

Shoji and Long were stunned when they heard this, and then they reacted, "You, what did you say? You want..."

At this moment, Shoji and Long realized that Xiu had gathered his direct lineage and the neutral tribesmen who were inclined to him because of the previous war with the Grass Ninja to the Northern Fortress!

"From now on, you are the Taketori clan, and my clan is also the Taketori clan, but we will not interfere with each other... Since you are unwilling to listen to my advice, I will leave the Grass Kingdom to you! See if you can eat it... My fellow clansmen, believe in me, Taketori Osamu, and go with me tonight. Lord Liyuan knows a place that is more conducive to our foothold and will not be counterattacked by Konoha..."

Seeing Osamu winning over the hearts of the people in front of them, Jiang Si and Long were suffocated for a while, but in terms of hard power, the two tribes can only balance Taketori Osamu together. After all, Taketori Osamu himself, plus Taketori Sora, is already very difficult to deal with!

At this time, Osamu wanted to split up, and they had no way...

And after hearing that Taketori Osamu would leave the Grass Kingdom, after the initial anger, the two even felt a hint of joy in their hearts.

In their opinion, after the battle of the Northern Fortress, even if Xiu's tribe withdrew, they would be able to destroy the Kusagakure ninjas and then submit to Konoha. According to Konoha's consistent strategy, as long as they could replace the Kusagakure ninjas and serve as a buffer between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, they should not be retaliated against...

As for the piece of land that Xiu mentioned, the two did not care at all. In their opinion, Taketori Xiu's behavior of not daring to completely take over the Land of Grass was too cautious.

But they had forgotten who dared not to attack the Land of Grass in the first place...

Besides, Taketori Xiu also said that Guan Liyuan and that "monster" were now outside the Northern Fortress to support them. Could they still force them to stay?

In the end, Taketori Xiu only took away 112 people, about one-third of the number of Taketori clan ninjas, and this number was within the acceptable range of both parties.

In the eyes of Taketori Masaji and Taketori Takashi, Taketori Osamu was forced to leave, because the ready-made "fat meat" of the Grass Country was right in front of them, and they would never leave at this time...

Similarly, the number of these people was also within Taketori Osamu's expectations. Although more than 170 people were willing to join the war under his call before, no matter how nice he said now, it gave people the feeling of being "bullied away".

If it weren't for the previous war with the Grass Ninja, his prestige would probably only be 50 to 60 people from his direct lineage who would be willing to go with him...

Taketori Osamu left the Northern Fortress with one-third of the Taketori clan, while Guan Liyuan, Bai, Karin and Kurama were waiting outside before.

Guan Liyuan did not show up during their negotiation, to avoid giving people the impression that Taketori Osamu was colluding with outsiders...

At this time, Guan Liyuan was sitting on the ground in the woods, flipping through the secret scroll of the Hyuga clan, the part about "corpse veins". Kurama, who had returned to the one-tail state, was lying on the side to rest, while Karin was idle and attentive in the dialogue...

Soon the tranquility was broken, and Taketori Osamu led people to reunite with Guan Liyuan.

"Is that all these people? That's enough...I'm afraid their current defense force is easier to fight than the Kusagakure!"

Orochimaru's power is not weak, but the core members are either with him in Konoha, or have received the news in advance, and should have been hidden in various strongholds, or even withdrawn from the Land of Rice...

Because no matter whether Orochimaru's plan succeeds or not, the Sound Ninja will definitely be retaliated by Konoha, and the core personnel will never stay in the Land of Rice in the open.

Now, as long as a little pressure is applied, the "abandoned children" of the Sound Ninja will find that they have been sold out long ago!

Of course, Guan Liyuan did not intend to release the news in advance to expose Orochimaru's conspiracy...

He did not know the third generation old man, and only considered from the perspective of "interests". Guan Liyuan did not value "Konoha's friendship" and the like very much... It is said that the Uzumaki clan, which has the most Konoha friendship, has lost its country and family, so it can be seen that this thing is useless!

On the contrary, Guan Liyuan also believes that the third generation, who is very old and has increasingly conservative thinking and is mainly based on compromise, has no positive significance in continuing to exist when the peace of the ninja world is under pressure to the limit, and may even destroy Guan Liyuan's next plan. In

the next few days, the battle situation of the "two tribes" of the Taketori was very smooth. Jiang Si and Long used the remaining power of the Taketori clan to easily beat the grass ninjas all over the country, and the Grass Village was occupied...

And an interesting thing happened during the period, that is, in the previous battle of the Northern Fortress, some grass ninjas suspected the identity of Kurama and even associated it with the legend of the tailed beast!

But because Kurama only had five tails at that time, the Kusanagi lodged a solemn protest against the Iwagakure, accusing the Iwagakure of instructing the Five-Tails Jinchuriki to interfere with the invasion of the Grass Country by the Taketori Clan, which was a provocation to the peace and order of the ninja world after the Third World War...

Of course, the result was that the envoy who lodged the protest was almost turned into air by Grandpa Ohnoki in a second!

Grandpa Ohnoki, who was already dissatisfied with the group of Kusanagi who defected to Konoha, was very angry and thought: "Are these people sick? We, the Iwagakure, haven't taken advantage of the fire yet! How dare you take the initiative to frame us? Our Five-Tails Jinchuriki "Ban" has been staying in the village and hasn't left, okay! 】
