The fledgling three ninjas of Konoha became famous because they survived the battle with the "demigod" Hanzo of the Salamander. Orochimaru had naturally seen the three disciples whom Jiraiya took good care of - Nagato, Konan and Yahiko.

Orochimaru joined the Akatsuki organization not without any needs. Although he withdrew from the organization because of the failure of attacking Uchiha Itachi, he may still be curious about the more mysterious Rinnegan.

Although the leader, Tendo Pain, looks very different from the young Yahiko, they still have some similarities. In addition, it is confirmed that his companion Nagato has the Samsara Eye. Although only Tendo has appeared in public, some associations with Orochimaru must have been there. It's just that because he unexpectedly withdrew from the organization, his interest in the Samsara Eye had to be shelved. Now that the leader of the Akatsuki organization has taken action personally, it is natural to exchange some information with people who know the intelligence. However, he didn't expect that what he got was far beyond his imagination.

"This good thing seems to be more practical than the Sharingan. In addition, it also has Yin-Yang escape, which is a really good bloodline limit!"

The Samsara Eye and the Mangekyō Sharingan each have their own advantages. The Samsara Eye is more powerful and more practical; the Mangekyō Sharingan's various secret techniques are more magical, and the name of the Mangekyō Sharingan is indeed well-deserved. Both have their own merits, and both attract Orochimaru's attention.

…

This is the second time that he has come to Konoha Village as an envoy in a short period of time. He had just returned from the Chunin Exams and did not expect to come to Konoha Village again to negotiate. Wen Ya has become accustomed to the perfunctory attitude of the people in Konoha Village. This time, he was entrusted by the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki. If there is no result, it would be difficult to explain when he returns. The fledgling Kurotsuchi and Akatsuki did not come this time. Huangtu needed to assist the Tsuchikage in suppressing the chaos in Iwagakure.

I just tried to get in touch with Deidara, relying on our past friendship to see if I could get some information, but I didn't expect that Deidara died before I could do so.

As a disciple of the Tsuchikage, he was once a strong man who was highly regarded and even had the hope of becoming the Tsuchikage. Even if he defected, he was still a strong man who was beyond the reach of most Iwagakure ninjas. His death was really a huge blow to the morale of his compatriots.

"I wonder when your Hokage-sama will be free to come and discuss exchanging information?"

Nara Shikaku has always been in charge of the reception. As the Minister of Security and the head of a major clan in Konoha Village, this is already a great honor.

"There are so many things going on during the Chunin Exams, and everyone is very busy. Please forgive me!"

It is true that we are busy, but it is not to the extent that it will delay important matters. It is just that important negotiations always require mutual testing and it is also necessary to weigh the other party's bargaining chips.

This reason was indeed very sufficient, and Wen Ya had nothing to say, but Konoha's lazy attitude made Wen Ya feel a little uneasy.

"I wonder if your esteemed Mizuki Jonin is still in the village? Regarding the person who eliminated the traitorous ninja Deidara from the Hidden Rock Village, there are some things I would like to ask in person. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to communicate with Mizuki Jonin last time."

Nara Shikaku had heard a lot of these compliments. A few months ago, Mizuki and Wen Ya had greeted each other several times, but neither side had any intention of communicating. Now, words like admiration only proved that Mizuki had become more famous.

The achievements of the accompanying Anbu could not be publicized openly, so the credit naturally went to Mizuki. The full name of Anbu is "Assassination Tactics Special Forces". The first priority is to act secretly and complete the mission. Those who fail in the mission must commit suicide and destroy their bodies as soon as possible to ensure that no information is leaked to the enemy and that the enemy cannot use the issue as an excuse. Therefore, most Anbu have self-destructive suicide ninjutsu or special props.

The news and content of Tenzang and Sasuke's actions must not be made public, so the only one who can talk about it is Mizuki.

He killed Deidara, seriously injured another mysterious strong man from the "Akatsuki" organization, and finally defeated Orochimaru head-on. This combat power is indeed a bit shocking. It is much more shocking than killing Scorpion, who was only famous in the Sand Village, in the chaos of a battle.

Deidara single-handedly massacred villages and destroyed countries several times, and Orochimaru was even more incredible. He had been famous for decades and even killed his master, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Every time news of this magnitude appeared in the ninja world, it would naturally spread widely. The best way to become famous is to step on the reputation of others and become known to the world.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the purposeful and planned propaganda of Tsunade and Konoha Village. The Konoha Village, which is full of strong people, will naturally scare away those sneaky people with bad intentions and dare not act rashly.

Although there is a lot of water in it, no one can see the truth. How many people know that Deidara is seriously injured and dying, and who knows that Orochimaru is not strong enough? A big explosion wiped out all traces. Orochimaru, one of the parties involved, naturally would not publicize his defeat. I guess he has no interest in it. Uchiha Obito and Zetsu, who know the inside story, will not do such a boring thing. It is better to say that the Mizuki they know is indeed worthy of such a reputation.

Since everyone thinks so, Mizuki will naturally be cheap. In the ninja world, everyone has been very skilled in commercial bullshit for decades. As long as someone creates momentum, a little bit of achievement can be blown up to become very famous. However, the fame of young ninjas will naturally make the old predecessors feel a sense of crisis. In addition, these old and young people don't like Mizuki in the first place, so it seems that they will never be able to get along with each other in the future.

"Mizuki Jonin is busy with family matters and is currently on vacation. He is not handling official business for the time being. I don't want to disturb him for some things."

Mizuki was too lazy to argue with Bunya, and Tsunade would not leave official business to her subordinates to handle casually.

Moreover, Tsunade was a little hesitant. She certainly did not think highly of the bargaining chips of the Iwagakure Village, but the key was that the form of alliance was extremely important. It was a difficult problem as to what price the Iwagakure Village needed to pay to reach an agreement. It seemed that there was nothing that the Iwagakure Village needed to pay for the time being.

If the transaction is not equal, the relationship between the two villages may not only not improve, but may even deteriorate.

"That's a shame. I thought we'd have a chance to have a deeper chat!"

Nara Shikaku smiled and said nothing more, pretending not to see Wen Ya's little plan.

"We strongly agree with the two villages' willingness to live in harmony, but we have some objections to the scope of intelligence exchange. We hope that both sides will show more sincerity, which may be better!"

"Sincerity?"

Wen Ya's heart shuddered. It seemed that the implication of these words was that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the bargaining chips of the Hidden Rock Village!
