Chapter 141 Cooperation with Takigakure Village
It’s ironic to say it, but Orochimaru was the first to be ruled out as a suspect.
It is true that this man has a bad reputation. When Gekko Gale saw Orochimaru, his first reaction was definitely not "If Ino is good, I can do it too". He still has some self-awareness. Running away and calling for companions are the normal ways to deal with the situation.
Ino was also ruled out. She used an impressive wind-style ninjutsu when fighting Neji, but it was just impressive. Most of the wounds on Gekko Gale's body were caused by wind blades at close range and in a short period of time. Ino's wind-style ninjutsu is completely different from this.
Asuma is a big suspect. With his superb wind-style ninjutsu, skilled physical skills, and the identity of the son of the Hokage, if he suddenly attacks at close range, Gekkou Gale will not have any time to defend himself.
The Third Hokage cleared his son of suspicion with a simple remark, "Asuma will be home tonight."
Several people suspected the ninjas from the Sand Village, the Rain Village, and the Takigakure Village. Several of the leading ninjas from these ninja villages knew wind jutsu.
Several people also thought of Shimura Danzo's suspicion, but he was more sensitive than Asuma. Shikaku and the two advisors couldn't figure out what the Third Hokage was thinking, so they chose to avoid the topic. After a brief discussion, they thought it would be more appropriate to wait until Gekkou Hayate woke up before asking.
The next day, Ino and Haiyi talked about Gekko Hayate, and it was only then that she learned that Danzo had been away from the village during this period.
She asked, "Has he been away these past few days? Can't the village leaders find Danzo-sama?"
Haiyi mentioned a long time ago that his family was on the same line as Danzo. Now that his daughter is getting stronger and stronger, he consciously cultivates Ino's analytical ability.
Haiyi said: "It's hard to say. The Root has secret bases in many places. It's possible that Danzo is somewhere in the village, or he may have left the village."
"Is it because of Orochimaru?" Ino asked.
The father and daughter talked privately and there were not many taboos.
Hai nodded: "It's possible. Orochimaru once worked in the Root for many years. At that time, he worked with Aburame Ryoma of the Aburame family for a period of time. Maybe he has some information that is unfavorable to Danzo. It's hard to say whether Danzo will counterattack or have other ideas."
The father and daughter didn't come to any conclusion from their discussion. After all, the Yamanaka family was still separated from the roots by a layer, so many things could only be guessed.
Haiyi told Ino to be careful when leaving the village. Now that her genius has become famous, there are many ninjas who want to kill her for the bounty.
Walking on the streets of Konoha Village, Ino was a little annoyed. The information that Danzo was not at home came a little late. If she had known it a few days earlier, she would definitely have been able to do something about it.
It's a bit too late now.
Danzo has done so many bad things that he is a perfect person to take the blame.
However, because he has done so many bad things, trivial matters are never blamed on him.
On the night of the genocide, Obito collected a whole wall of Sharingan, and Danzo took all the blame for gouging out the eyes. Faced with the corpses that had lost their eyes, the Third Hokage thought it was his old friend who did it, and didn't even ask. Danzo was as aloof as ever, and didn't explain. He just let the matter slide without saying anything about the Sharingan.
To sum up, Danzo is a player who "only plays high-end games".
On the third day after treating Gekkou Gale, Ino quietly left Konoha Village and took a detour to Takigakure Village.
Karin has arrived first. In addition to this orphan of the Uzumaki clan, Takigakure Village has also gained a young female ninja, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Kaede.
"Are you the Konoha ninja who saved the idiot Shibuki? I want to make friends with you, I want to make a hundred friends!" This female ninja with dark skin and short blue-green hair is extremely lively. Looking at her full of energy, Ino feels old.
"Is Konoha Village big? Is it a village built on trees?"
"Are there many people in your village? Are there five hundred?"
"Karin kept calling a name while she was sleeping last night. Was she calling you? Why did she call your name while she was sleeping? And why did she make strange noises?"
Feng chattered non-stop. Shibuki had just taken over as leader and had a lot of things to do, so Ino was waiting in the reception room.
She was reading the newspaper while Feng was nagging beside her.
She drank her tea while Feng continued to chatter.
Whenever she went to the toilet, Feng followed her.
This Jinchūriki is incredibly energetic, but she has very little contact with the outside world, which makes her extremely curious. She can find any question and get to the bottom of it.
Ino had a plan to collect the chakra of the tailed beasts, so of course she didn't want to let the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki who was right in front of her fly away.
Except for some really embarrassing questions, Ino basically answered every question.
Feng was very happy, like a cheerful little bird. She told everyone she met that she had new friends and that she only needed to find ninety-nine more friends.
Ino sighed, life is very difficult for the Jinchūriki, what they want most is recognition from others, this is true for Naruto and Kaede too.
The two parties have just met, and it would definitely be inappropriate to say "I want to occupy your body" at this time. Ino plans to slowly build up the relationship.
Ino and Feng chatted for almost an hour, and Shibuki finally finished his official business. He was also very happy that Feng had gained a new friend.
Ino talked about the purpose of her visit. She wanted to do business with Takigakure Village, doing building materials business.
Just like there are duds in the Harry Potter world, there are also descendants of ninja who cannot use chakra. These people are actually worse off than Rock Lee and Might Day. Rock Lee can say, "Even if you don't know ninjutsu or illusion, you can still become a first-class ninja." These people who can't even refine chakra are completely out of the question for the ninja profession.
These people cannot be abandoned. In the Warring States Period, they could only do some logistical work for the ninja clan. In the Ninja Village Era, when the environment was relatively peaceful, they left their respective families, abandoned their original surnames, became civilians, and continued to provide services for the Ninja Village.
The last time she came, Ino discovered that there were many civilians in Takigakure Village. The environment of the village was too humid and not suitable for farming at all. Going out to work was a good choice.
Like the way Roger tricked Rayleigh in One Piece, the opening line was "Let's do something big together?" That requires a strong personal charm, but Ino doesn't have that. Her idea is to start cooperation from some small things, and the two sides will slowly lay the foundation of mutual trust.
Even though Shibuki became the leader, he was still essentially that timid and cowardly big boy, and he didn't dare to do anything big.
After listening to her words patiently, he tried to summarize: "In other words, Miss Yamanaka wants to establish a construction team in the name of Takigakure Village? Why do you want to do this? You are also from a big family in Konoha Village, right?"
