In fact, Otsutsuki Hamura knew that he had been tricked, and he also knew that it was wrong and against his own wishes for him to behave so cruelly.

But he couldn't control it at all.

The worst thing was that when Hamura took action, he didn't realize that there was something wrong with him at all. He only discovered his abnormality when reviewing the situation afterwards.

Fortunately, he was able to discover the problem during the review, otherwise Otsutsuki Hamura would have completely lost control by now.

After controlling the entire Kaguya clan, Otsutsuki Hamura began to try to control the Hidden Mist Village.

But after carefully understanding the intelligence, he found that the problem was serious.

The Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village has gone crazy.

He actually started an anti-ninja wave in the Hidden Mist Village, and pushed this wave to the extreme. Now there are calls against bloodline limits.

This is totally hell.

While the appearance of a bloodline limit ninja in other ninja villages would cause excitement in the entire village, the Hidden Mist Village began to find ways to eliminate the bloodline limit ninja.

Even the Third Hokage of Konoha Village only targeted the Uchiha, and he didn't dare to say or do it openly, so he could only do it secretly through Danzo Shimura.

The Hidden Mist Village is now publicly declaring that the bloodline ninjas are the source of chaos. Only by completely eliminating the bloodline limits can the Hidden Mist Village form a complete whole and have the possibility of pursuing the goal of becoming the strongest ninja village in the ninja world.

"Haha, this is all a mess, it's complete nonsense."

Otsutsuki Hamura sneered and asked, "This Fourth Mizukage definitely wasn't like this from the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be a Mizukage. Does anyone know when he became like this?"

An old ninja replied, "It should be the year before last, when we had a great war with Konoha Village. The Hidden Mist Village suffered two consecutive defeats and suffered heavy losses. His style changed after that."

Another old ninja added, "It must be the second disastrous defeat. Our losses were greater the first time, and the Fourth Mizukage has yet to react."

"But the second time he lost his own fundamental strength. After he came back, the Fourth Generation slept with him and he became a completely different person."

"Yes, he had previously suspended the policy of Blood Mist Village and was committed to easing the conflict between civilian ninjas and ninja clans. He was willing to give us more benefits in exchange for the power to command the war."

"Now, the new blood mist he has created has an even stronger smell of blood."

Otsutsuki Hamura sneered and said, "So it's still the same power struggle."

"But this situation is not right. The struggle for power should not be done so harshly. There is no room for maneuver at all. We must fight to the death with the ninja clan."

"I'm a little suspicious... Something's wrong with the Fourth Mizukage. Maybe he's like our Kaguya clan, and can't control himself once he gets impulsive?"

The old ninjas looked at each other and couldn't help but say, "No way, I haven't heard that the Fourth Mizukage has a bloodline limit, how could he suddenly become the same as us?"

Otsutsuki Hamura couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily the blood limit that causes the confusion. For example, he may have a brain injury, or the ninjutsu he practiced was wrong. It's also possible."

"In short, we have to find a way to investigate. Otherwise, the situation will be changed by the Fourth Mizukage, which will be too passive for the Kaguya clan."

"Chief, we will do whatever you say."

"If we want to form an alliance, who would be the best person to look for?"

"We don't know."

"I……"

Otsutsuki Hamura couldn't help but sigh inwardly, the bloodline of the Kaguya clan was really a headache.

The killing a few days ago caused a lot of resentment, but after Hamura ascended to the throne of clan leader, the wisdom and intelligence he displayed made the Kaguya clan very much recognize him.

It's so rare that our Hyuga clan finally has a clan leader who is smart and capable of fighting.

All of a sudden, all the slight aversion they had before disappeared, and Kaguya and the others wholeheartedly supported the new clan leader.

Otsutsuki Hamura felt deeply relieved, but then felt helpless.

The brains of this ethnic group are too straightforward, without any hesitation. They don't think about anything else except fighting, and have not even considered the possibility of forming an alliance with others.

As a result, I don’t even know who to find for cooperation. It’s too much trouble.

But the reality is like this, the seed has been planted in this tribe, and Otsutsuki Hamura can only accept it. He asked helplessly: "Who is the head of the other ninja clan?"

A Kaguya ninja replied: "Chief, the Snow Clan was wiped out by the Fourth Mizukage. Who is the head of the Kizuna Clan now?..."

Several people looked at each other and answered in unison: "We don't know."

Hamura was furious: "I... Then who is the leader of the civilian faction? You should know this."

"We know this—it's the Yuanshi."

Otsutsuki Hamura shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's go find the Master today and discuss with him what to do."

He didn't say anything about going to look for the Kizuna clan again. The fact that the Hyuga clan is not smart is actually a standard.

When they didn't know who had the final say in the Gui Deng clan, it meant that the clan did not have a strong patriarch and lacked the ability to deal with emergencies, so there was no point in looking for them.

On the contrary, the fact that the leader of the civilian ninjas could say it so easily proved that the prestige of the master was unquestionable. As long as he was convinced, an alliance could be reached and action could be taken immediately.

This is the right ally.

As for persuading him, this was not a problem in Otsutsuki Hamura's mind, as he was very confident in his eloquence.

In the early days when Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo founded the Ninja Clan, before Ashura and Indra were born, he was the main force assisting his brother.

During this period, I don't know how many people I talked to and how many people I persuaded to accept the power of chakra, join the Ninja Clan, and become believers of the Six Paths Sage.

In this process, Otsutsuki Hamura also grew from a follower who lacked decisiveness to a qualified leader.

He had his own descendants and tribe, and they were very prosperous, so he led the main branch to the moon to guard his mother's seal.

Now that he was dealing with a small old man from the Hidden Mist Village, he didn't think he would fail in persuading him.

So he set off with full confidence.

…

Black Zetsu is very busy. He needs to monitor the entire ninja world, including the five major ninja villages, the Hidden Rain Village, the Gold Exchange, and the capitals of major countries. He receives countless pieces of information every day.

Black Zetsu finally remembered that a full month had passed since White Zetsu of the Uchiha clan had sent back any news, and even the entire Konoha Village had no news.

He finally realized that something was wrong and began to go to Konoha Village to investigate in person, only to find that the barrier of Konoha Village had been updated.

Not only are the previous loopholes nowhere to be found, but the structure of the barrier has also undergone major changes.

There was a large amount of fairy magic structure mixed into the barrier, and Black Zetsu was unable to penetrate it.

Now the Uchiha clan was out of his surveillance, and this was a huge problem.

In addition, Nagato's sudden recovery exposed himself and the Rinnegan in advance, greatly increasing the variables in the future.

Black Zetsu knew that the plan was out of his control, and now he had to report it to Uchiha Madara and let him decide what to do next.

As the master of the Rinnegan, the absolute core of Black Zetsu's plan to save his mother, and the last layer of the nesting doll, Uchiha Madara must have sufficient right to know and decision-making power so that he can exercise sufficient initiative.

Black Zetsu's nature and power level are extremely high, but the power he possesses is limited. The time he personally takes action must and can only be at the last moment of the plan's implementation.

Once the last of his strength is exhausted, there is no hope of saving his mother Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

Before this, Black Zetsu could only use chess pieces to push the situation in the ninja world in the direction he wanted.

After listening to Black Zetsu's report, Uchiha Madara immediately became furious. He kicked Black Zetsu far away and roared, "Why did you wait until now to find out? You really disappoint me, Black Zetsu!"

"Nagato's Samsara Eye and the younger generation of the Uchiha family are the two keys to my plan. You waited until everything went wrong before you came to report. Am I too lax with you?"

Black Zetsu didn't dare to refute and could only apologize repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Master Madara, it's all my fault."

"I'm really worried about your health, so..."

"Shut up, let me think about it."

Uchiha Madara closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

He said to Black Zetsu, "Nagato's recovery is a big variable. The situation of the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village is also a big problem, but my body can't do anything now. I can't wait."

"Black Zetsu, my successor has been confirmed to be Uchiha Obito. Where is he now?"

Black Zetsu lowered his head and said, "Master Madara, Uchiha Obito is now in the Land of Rivers, fighting with the Sand Village ninja."

Uchiha Dapple nodded and said, "Very good, you should start preparing to launch the plan now and bring him to me."

Black Zetsu immediately accepted the order and said, "Yes, Master Madara, I will go right away."

Uchiha Madara continued, "Hurry up! Otherwise he will return to Konoha Village and get out of your control, which will cause countless troubles."

Black Zetsu said, "I understand, Madara-sama."

Uchiha Madara added again: "While you go to execute Obito, send White Zetsu to activate the second hint of the Fourth Mizukage. At this time, the control of the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village is barely enough."

"Let him start a war with Konoha Village immediately. I want to let Obito see the deepest despair through this war, so that he can awaken the Mangekyō."

Black Zetsu hesitated and asked hesitantly, "Master Madara, aren't you being too hasty?"

"After all, we've let the Fourth Mizukage start a war before we get Obito. If I fail here, the whole plan will be irreversible."

Uchiha Madara's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he said viciously: "Because you concealed the changes in Nagato, I didn't have the time to buffer myself. I must send the successor to Nagato as soon as possible, join his organization, influence him, and make him the key to my resurrection."

"If time drags on too long and the Hidden Rain Village develops rapidly, it will be difficult to get close to Nagato."

"Black Zetsu, if you fail again on Obito's side, I will punish you severely."

Hei Zetsu was not worried about Uchiha Madara's threat, but he still pretended to be afraid, bowed respectfully, and left.

In fact, he was not completely sure in his heart, because Uchiha Obito's current captain was Namikaze Minato, a very powerful young jonin who was quite difficult to deal with.

The death of the Third Hokage seriously affected Jiraiya's status, resulting in him being placed under house arrest in Konoha Village.

Of course Orochimaru would not hurt him, but he would also not let him leave Konoha Village like the Third Hokage did, and he would not allow him to do anything that went against the interests of Konoha Village.

Even Jiraiya's idea of ​​going to the Rain Country to meet Nagato was rejected.

According to Orochimaru, Nagato is so powerful that Jiraiya will definitely not be able to defeat him. Since he cannot defeat him, there is no way to convince him, so he should not go and die.

Jiraiya naturally wouldn't agree. He had never been a law-abiding person since he was a child, and he wanted to slip away when no one was paying attention.

But Orochimaru just left a sentence: If Jiraiya leaves Konoha Village without the order of the Hokage, it will be equivalent to automatic defection, and he will be a traitor of Konoha Village in the future.

This left Jiraiya helpless. Although he replaced the Konoha headband on his head with an Oil-word headband, he still considered himself a Konoha ninja and never thought of becoming a Konoha rebel.

So he could only suppress his impulse and stay in Konoha Village honestly. He had to give up temporarily whether going to the Rain Country to see Nagato or going to Myoboku Mountain to ask the Great Toad Sage for his thoughts.

As the saying goes: When one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper.

Orochimaru became the Fourth Hokage, and the people around him were promoted one after another, and all departments of Konoha Village underwent a major reshuffle.

Similarly, if one person falls, the whole family suffers.

Jiraiya's house arrest represented a decline in his status, which soon affected his disciples.

As a result, Minato Namikaze left the core department, the Anbu, and was sent to the front line to serve as the captain of a team.

But fate is so strange that the garbage team randomly assigned to him consists of Uchiha Obito and Rin.

Their former captain, Shinichi, died in a previous battle just after being promoted to Chunin.

So Minato Namikaze came up to make up for it.

But Minato Namikaze is indeed a genius. When he was in the Anbu, his brilliance could not be shown, but after entering the front line, he burst out with incredible achievements.

Even though he brought two burdens with him, he was still able to deal with two jonin teams easily. He even wiped out two jonin teams in his first battle without any harm.

In the subsequent battles, famous jonin from the Sand Village continued to come to him, becoming part of Minato's dazzling record.

He was like gold that had been wiped clean of dust, emitting an eye-catching brilliance on the battlefield of River Country, and no one could ignore him.

The Fourth Hokage Orochimaru noticed this and immediately decided to end Minato Namikaze's exile.

He even thought about adjusting Minato's team configuration to fully unleash his combat effectiveness, but after much consideration, he gave up the idea.

Namikaze Minato's combat mode is fast, with the fastest movement speed, the fastest attack speed, the fastest ninjutsu activation speed, and the fastest instant body movement technique.

His speed was so fast that no one could react. Almost all of the Sunagakure jonin who died at his hands were attacked by him from behind.

Either his neck was slashed by a kunai, or his kidney was stabbed by a dagger.

This kind of fighting style is unique in the Konoha Village where there are many masters, and it is impossible to find a ninja who can form tactical cooperation with him.

If he were forced to have three jonin, it would easily tie Minato Namikaze's hands and feet, making it difficult for him to fight freely. Perhaps it would be better for him to have two burdens with him now.

So the matter was left unresolved, but Minato's salary was rapidly improved and he became the core force on the battlefield of River Country.

The brilliance of Minato Namikaze was as dazzling as gold in Konoha Village, but as blinding as blood in Sand Village.

It had only been a month since Minato Namikaze arrived in River Country, but he had already defeated 32 jonin from the Sand Village, killing more than one ninja every day on average.

His performance quickly evoked painful memories for the Sand Village ninjas. The horror of the "Konoha White Fang" in the last war was resurrected, which made the Sand Village ninjas panic.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa naturally noticed it as well. There was no way he didn't notice it.

There are more than 300 jonin in Konoha Village, but this is only the result of the distribution of political power. In fact, there are many ninjas with the strength of jonin, and dozens of casualties can be replenished at any time.

The number of jonin in the Sand Village is not as luxurious as that in the Konoha Village, with a total of just over 300 people.

At the hands of one person, one-tenth of the jonin were lost in just one month. The Fourth Kazekage was so heartbroken that his brain was about to explode.

He immediately convened a meeting and said at the beginning: "We can't go on like this. We must change our tactics, otherwise our ninja army will be in chaos."

Chiyo nodded and said, "Yes, the loss is staggering."

"Jonin are not only responsible for combat power, but also the commander of the grassroots ninja. If the losses continue at this rate, our ninja will be without command."

Ye Cang said, "Then we will launch an all-out attack. Under the crushing pressure of the army, our numerical advantage will be brought into play."

Luo Sha immediately agreed, "I agree. We will launch a full-scale attack, occupy the River Country, and then invade the Fire Country. We will completely destroy the prestige of Konoha Village and attract the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village to join us."

Chiyo also nodded in agreement and said, "The Fourth Generation is right. Compared to the envoys we sent out, victory is the most convincing."

Seeing that her intention to attack was approved by everyone, Ye Cang was very happy. She looked around at the people in the conference room and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Chiyo, why hasn't Senior Ebizo come back yet?"

Chiyo shook her head and said, "Not back yet."

The Fourth Kazekage couldn't help but ask, "Is nothing going to happen to Senior Ebizo?"

"Probably not. He's just dealing with a group of human traffickers. Even though they're pretty powerful, they're definitely not something a Kage-level puppeteer like him can't handle."

Chiyo guessed, "Maybe the human traffickers were too cunning, and Ebizo couldn't catch them for a while, which delayed a lot of time."

"It'll be fine."

The Fourth Kazekage thought about it and nodded, saying, "Senior Chiyo is right. After all, we are in the Land of Wind, so there won't be any danger."

Then he stood up and gave the order: "Since Senior Ebizo is busy, we won't wait for him. I have decided to launch a full-scale attack tomorrow to defeat the Konoha ninja."
