Back then, Konoha Village had nine tailed beasts in the world. Theoretically speaking, if Konoha had controlled the power of the tailed beasts at that time, there was a certain probability that it would have directly flattened the world.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Madara left Konoha, and Senju Hashirama could not handle it alone, so he simply divided the tailed beasts equally among the other four countries, and did not even ask for much benefit, it was almost giving it away for free.
With the tailed beasts as a balance of power, the strength of the major ninja villages was almost the same, and no one side could win if they attacked, so peace did come and lasted for about ten years.
It was not until the death of Hashirama Senju that the truly powerful person who could intimidate the nations disappeared. The other nations immediately began to get restless and followed Konoha's example by developing the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, using the power of the Tailed Beast to fight.
But the skills of the Jinchūriki are not cheap. Although the other four major ninja villages have also worked hard on research, the Jinchūriki they have produced so far not only have unstable personalities, but are also prone to rampage.
A big part of the reason why the Third Raikage of the Cloud Ninja was able to rise to the position was because he was able to withstand the impact of the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki and fight against the runaway Jinchūriki.
Ize Shan counted the things on hand and felt a sense of urgency for no reason.
He needs to chase after the Senju Butsuma, needs to deal with the money exchange, and needs to capture the Tailed Beast...but Uchiha Obito is still suffering from the aftereffects of releasing his Noble Phantasm, which is really a delay!
Izawa Sugi couldn't help but complain about Uchiha Obito again: "What kind of treasure did you put?"
Otherwise he and Obito would work separately, double the efficiency and double the happiness!
Uchiha Obito didn't take it seriously, and even said lazily: "The chance to defeat Madara is fleeting, but there are plenty of chances to save the world. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Are you rushing to become a corporate slave?
Izawa Sugi was upset: "If I had been faster, Hinata might not have been in trouble."
He does have the technology to deal with the bird in the cage, but to do so he needs the help of Senju's fairy technique and Uchiha's eye technique, and even the whirlpool to perform the sealing technique.
If Hyuga rashly proposes to resolve the issue of the Caged Bird before the integration of the major clans of Konoha is completed, it will instead allow the other major clans to blackmail Hyuga. Now that the huge divisible benefit of the Moon has disappeared, Hyuga can't offer any reward or price for releasing the Caged Bird.
By then, the Hyuga main family could even directly reject Izawa Sugi's proposal. Would the Hyuga branch families have to line up to ask Izawa Sugi to unblock it? How long would it take to unblock it?
And Ize Sugi is here to help, not to be a babysitter.
"Why is Konoha the strongest ninja village in the entire continent?"
Uchiha Obito's voice was strangely cold, "Because the Senju and Uchiha are here, as long as these two clans are fine, it doesn't matter whether all other ninja clans live or die."
Because only from these two tribes can the reincarnations of Indra and Asura appear.
Ize Shan was speechless after hearing this. This is so damn true!
"Instead of worrying about Konoha, you should go and help me keep an eye on the money exchange."
As a villain boss, Uchiha Obito's idea of developing the organization is still very smooth, "Money is the most important thing! Senju Fushigi is dead, he is not important, what is important is the opportunity to leave the village in an upright manner!"
"…If you really care about money, why bother with money changers?"
Izawa Sugi spit out: "Just control the Fire Country Bank directly."
Uchiha Obito sneered: "Do you think I haven't thought about it? Money can't be printed casually. The entire market has certain circulation restrictions. If there are too many banknotes in circulation, prices will fall and our real assets will depreciate."
Ize Shan hissed, "You really understand!"
Uchiha Obito: "Nonsense, I am developing the Akatsuki organization under the noses of the five major nations. It is not enough to rely on force alone. Before the real capture operation begins, the Akatsuki organization must hide in the dark."
Since they have to hide, the Xiao organization cannot compete with the five major ninja villages for high-paying missions. They can only start with low-paying missions and need to solve intelligence problems on their own.
Uchiha Obito said unhappily: "The few traitors in the organization are actually a cover to attract the attention of the ninja village. The most important things of the Akatsuki organization are the shops that have been opened for decades and various ordinary intelligence personnel."
He was so desperate for money back then that he did try to steal from banks in various countries that issued paper money.
But after Uchiha Obito carefully learned about it, he found that the bank of the Fire Country was just an ordinary person. He could indeed control the president, but the president had to obey the orders of the Fire Country Daimyo, and Konoha would also regularly send guards to protect the president.
After all, the banknotes circulating in the Land of Fire are printed with the head of the Hokage of Konoha Yanshan, and the Konoha Society will provide military endorsement for the banknotes of the Land of Fire.
Ordinary people have poor resistance to illusions and can easily die, and then Konoha discovers the clues.
This was inconsistent with Uchiha Obito's purpose of hiding his identity and organization at the time, so he had to give up.
"The banks of the other four countries are similar. If you don't want to attract the attention of the five major ninja villages, you can only use the unified currency circulated in the underground world."
Uchiha Obito explained: "The paper money of the five major countries is not interchangeable, so the underground world gave birth to a universal paper money that can be exchanged with each other."
Ize Shan was stunned when he heard this.
He really hadn't noticed this.
After Konoha of the Federation established a bank, it directly promoted the Konoha currency throughout the continent. There is no situation where each country has its own currency.
As for Izawa Sugi's original hometown... he was not short of money at the time, and people even came to give him money, so he didn't pay attention to this problem.
Izawa Sugi sighed sincerely: "I find that your family really has great potential and talent in overthrowing the regime."
After hearing this, Uchiha Obito became depressed.
"So what? I'm not going to create a new peaceful world."
Izawa Sugi didn't know what to say, and finally he said, "Forget it. Tobirama happened to send a team to help. I'll let Captain Akimichi investigate the money exchange in the Frost Country first, and then I'll take Tsuna and the others to continue tracking."
Since Uchiha Obito's thinking is so clear, and considering that he is the real summoner, Izawa Sugi said quickly: "If things can't be done, we will directly break into the Hidden Cloud Village. According to the information I investigated last time, the Eight-Tails was sealed in the Amber Bottle, and the whereabouts of the Two-Tails are currently unknown. We need to investigate carefully."
The plan was decided, and Izawa Sugi immediately found Captain Akimichi and asked him to investigate the intelligence and money circulation in the money exchange on the pretext of investigating the source of the enemy's funds.
Captain Akimichi was a little worried: "You lead the team to track the enemy. If they encounter danger..."
Izawa Sugi calmly said: "It's okay, I brought the Flying Thunder God Mark, I can send them back at the critical moment."
Captain Akimichi breathed a sigh of relief and left with his men.
Izawa Sugi, along with Tsuna, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, continued to follow the trail left by Senju Butsuma.
Tsuna is nine years old this year. The little girl experienced the first great Ninja World War and her strength has already reached the level of Chunin. She also cooperates well with her team members Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
However, when they learned that their teammates had gone on other missions and only the three of them would follow Izawa Sugi on this cross-country tracking mission, the three of them felt a little uneasy.
The guide couldn't help but ask, "How long do we have to chase him before we can find Master Fojian?"
Izawa Shan looked at the latest traces and said calmly, "It will be soon. Get ready for battle."
Izawa Sugi's prediction was correct. Soon they were attacked by the Cloud Ninja, and their main target was Tsuna.
Izawa Sugi immediately understood the reason why Black Zetsu used tactics against the Cloud Ninja: to hunt down the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama!
So Izawa Sugi immediately used the transformation technique and shadow clone, and instantly there were more than three more generals on the field.
The little girl was shocked, Jiraiya was a little confused, but Orochimaru quickly understood what Izawa Sugi meant, and actually changed into Tsunade's appearance.
After several collisions and tests of kunai and shuriken, the positions of both sides changed, and the Cloud Ninja soon could not tell which one was the real leader.
Although Izawa Sugi is currently short of chakra due to Uchiha Obito's paralysis, the small-range Flying Thunder God Technique does not consume too much chakra.
With Izawa Sugi's ability to control space and the battlefield, just a few simple Flying Thunder God changes of position were enough to knock out this small team of Cloud Ninjas.
The battle started suddenly and ended quickly. Izawa Sugi grabbed the Cloud Ninja Jonin and interrogated him. When he came back, the other three Cloud Ninja Chunin were already completely cold.
Izawa Sugi opened his mouth, and looked at Tsuna, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru who were packing up their ninja tools and the battlefield as usual, and finally sighed helplessly.
"...There are quite a lot of Kumo Ninjas chasing us this time. We may have to move to Qianli later. Be prepared."
Izawa Sugi told the three guys the news he got from the Kumogakure jonin: "Their target is Tsuna."
The ninja village would collect outstanding and talented ninjas from other families. If they could kill them when they were still weak, they would be able to solve a major threat to the village. Tsuna's identity was special. Her identity as the granddaughter of the first Hokage was enough to make her wanted by the four major ninja villages.
Tsuna moved her lips. When she first went out on a mission, Grandma Mito explained to her the pros and cons and the dangers involved. She was mentally prepared, but...
"Aren't we here to look for Grandpa Fojian?" Why are we suddenly moving thousands of miles away?
"The other side used the Thousand-Handed Buddha as bait. We have been too passive to chase the bait. We need to find a way to seize the initiative."
Uchiha Obito's paralysis will end in four days. When the time comes, let Uchiha Obito go to the Hidden Cloud Village to catch the Tailed Beast, and he can have a good meal of Black Zetsu cake.
While playing hide-and-seek with the Cloud Ninjas, you can also guide the future Three Ninjas of Konoha.
Ize Shan's fingers trembled and he took out a shuriken.
For the three children, they are young and lack chakra. Even if they are taught ninjutsu, they will still be at a loss when releasing it without chakra. It is better to teach them shurikens fighting techniques.
It's just that most of Izawa Sugi's sneak attacks and counterattacks are aimed at the special position of the neck. This is very suitable for the stuntman with good physical strength and Orochimaru who has a good understanding and can improve it according to his own fighting habits. But Jiraiya learned it stumblingly, either unable to grasp the right opportunity or the angle of the attack is wrong.
Jiraiya is a fire-style ninja, and the fire-style that Izawa Sugi mastered is almost all from the Uchiha school, so it is not easy to teach it directly to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya's physical skills were not very good either, but improving physical skills required years of practice and could not be taught in a short time. In the end, Izawa Sugi chose to teach him illusion skills.
But unfortunately, Jiraiya's talent in illusion techniques can be said to be nine out of ten, but he doesn't understand one!
Izawa Sugi even wanted to teach Naruto his signature ninjutsu, the ball-rolling technique, but rolling balls also requires a lot of chakra!!
"You guys are really the last one in the class!"
Izawa Sugi was speechless. He got the last place because he handed in a blank paper on purpose and got 0 points. Jiraiya also handed in a blank paper, but he really didn't know how to write.
Tsuna did say something fair for Jiraiya: "Jiraiya's understanding of ninjutsu is good, but his chakra is too little, and no one has taught him the techniques. Jiraiya's speed is also good."
Orochimaru explained, "Yes, there is too little chakra, and the ninjutsu he released has no lethality. Although his speed is good, the gaps between his attacking moves are too large, so he cannot form an effective attack and instead wastes his energy."
Jiraiya glared at Orochimaru: "Just wait for me! One day I will defeat you!!"
The handsome Orochimaru, wearing a white robe, sneered: "I'll wait."
Uchiha Obito looked at Jiraiya with a somewhat subtle look.
He suddenly said, "Jiraiya? Come here, I'll teach you some interesting tricks."
Ize Shan was stunned: "What are you going to teach him?"
Uchiha Obito said calmly: "Genjutsu is a technique that creates a virtual illusion to cover reality. Jiraiya is not good at genjutsu, which shows that what he sees is reality and that he does not believe in illusions."
"We are all the last in the class, so we should have something to show for it."
The boss of the Fourth War, who was once the last in Konoha, said: "I can teach him how to break the illusion."
Izawa Sugi found it a little funny: "You, a guy who was deceived by the infinite moon reading, want to teach Jiraiya how to break the illusion?"
Uchiha Obito said unhappily: "If you want to use illusions to make a beautiful dream come true, shut up!"
Izawa Sugi: “…”
Izawa Sugi was unable to refute Uchiha Obito's criticism.
Izawa Sugi, who has reached the highest realm, can see through everything. Even the beautiful dreams woven by Merlin cannot completely deceive Izawa Sugi's senses and heart.
After this, Izawa Sugi and Uchiha Obito became more competitive.
Izawa Sugi tried to instill various fighting techniques into Jiraiya's mind, and Uchiha Obito taught Jiraiya various ninjutsu and seals to remove illusions.
What frustrated Izawa Sugi was that Jiraiya's progress in practical skills lagged far behind his progress in breaking illusions.
If it weren't for the rapid progress of Orochimaru and Tsunade who were studying under him, Izawa Sugi would have begun to doubt his own teaching skills.
During this teaching period, Izawa Sugi led three little ninjas to repel three waves of Cloud Ninja attacks.
Izawa Sugi was basically in a supporting position, allowing Tsunato and others to practice with the Cloud Ninja as much as possible, but in the last attack, the Cloud Ninja sent a powerful attack team consisting of four jonin.
Jonin is a very magical ninja strength rating. The upper limit can reach the level of Might Guy who kicked Six Paths Madara. As for the lower limit, for example, Ebisu who was defeated by Naruto's Harem Technique is a special Jonin.
Since the Cloud Ninjas that attacked before all disappeared like meat buns, the last Cloud Ninjas that attacked were all at the elite Jonin level.
Seeing this, Izawa Shan threw Uchiha Obito in the basket to Jiraiya without saying a word: "You go first!"
Tsuna and Orochimaru helped to clear the way, and the three little ninjas ran away.
Jiraiya held Uchiha Obito's basket high above his head and said worriedly as he ran, "Is it okay for Uncle Sugi to deal with four jonins alone?"
Uchiha Obito looked at the countdown for the sequelae of using the Noble Phantasm and said with a smile: "No problem."
They don't even need to run.
Izawa Sugi is someone who can fight against Uchiha Madara, so wouldn't it be easy for him to capture just a few Kumogin jonin?
"Okay, let me check the location."
Uchiha Obito recalled the route and said, "Go northeast."
Jiraiya didn't understand why, but he still ran towards the northeast as Uchiha Obito requested.
In a dangerous valley, Uchiha Obito suddenly jumped out of the basket!
He stretched his back and said, "Ah, the damn punishment is finally over."
Uchiha Obito is resurrected!
He looked at Jiraiya, Tsunayuki and Orochimaru who were staring at him, and covered his lips with his fingers. "We'll wait here for a while, but don't show any presence."
Tsuna frowned and said, "Are you waiting for Uncle Shan?"
Her father, Senju Kazuhiko, privately asked Tsuna to call Izawa Sugi like that. Izawa Sugi corrected him twice but to no avail, so he just let it go.
Anyway, according to the normal generational division, he is indeed the uncle of Tsunade, and treating uncles as uncles is a family tradition!
The corners of Uchiha Obito's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking arc.
"Of course not."
Jiraiya and Tsunade were a little confused, but Orochimaru suddenly had an idea and began to check his ninja tool bag, and even set traps in several suitable places in the valley.
They waited for about three hours, and several Cloud Ninja Jonins who had previously besieged Izawa Sugi appeared outside the valley.
Tsuna was shocked. Did something happen to Uncle Shan? !
Jiraiya couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out first!
Jiraiya is an orphan and was the last in school. After graduation, his teammates were so amazing and Jiraiya was secretly working hard to improve his abilities. How could he let his teammates down?!
Jiraiya understood that Tsuna was a Senju, Orochimaru had been smart since he was young, and had always been liked by teacher Hiruzen, and he was the least valued student.
But in this mission, the focus of both Izawa Sugi and Uchiha Obito's teaching was Jiraiya, which moved Jiraiya very much and he studied very seriously. Even though he couldn't learn it, he clumsily memorized all the knowledge and skills.
But Uncle Shan who was so kind to him actually died? !
impossible!
The angry Jiraiya started with a sword. The Cloud Ninja Jonin were suddenly attacked and immediately scattered and changed their formation. However, when they met the enemy, both their movements and reactions were much slower.
Orochimaru noticed this and thought to himself that it was indeed the case.
"Calm down, idiot."
Orochimaru and Jiraiya fought together and forced back a Kumo-nin jonin. He said quickly, "They are all seriously injured."
Uchiha Obito's expression was a bit sarcastic and complicated: "I knew that guy wouldn't kill him. Forget it, a seriously injured Jonin is just right for you to practice with."
Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya stopped a seriously injured jonin, while the other three turned around and ran without hesitation. Uchiha Obito released Wood Release and easily stabbed the three Cloud Ninjas into barbecued pork.
Uchiha Obito watched the future Konoha Sannin trying their best to kill the enemy. After the three of them breathlessly killed the enemy, he said, "It's time for us to go."
Jiraiya was a little confused: "But Uncle Shan..."
"No need to wait for him, he has other tasks to do." Uchiha Obito threw the three exhausted Genin into the big basket he was sitting in before, "And it's not suitable for you to follow him now. He has the qualifications to be weak, but you don't."
Orochimaru grabbed the edge of the basket to prevent himself from falling out, and he subconsciously asked, "Where are we going?"
Uchiha Obito showed a bloody smile: "Go to Kumogakure and capture the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails."
Sannin: "...Huh?"
Izawa Sugi, who was running forward at high speed, suddenly paused and stopped.
He doesn't look well.
After Uchiha Obito's sequelae were relieved, Izawa Sugi was no longer restricted by chakra. According to the agreement between him and Obito, after dealing with the four Kumogakure jonin, Izawa Sugi continued to chase Black Zetsu's bait, while Uchiha Obito went to the Hidden Cloud Village to steal the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails.
Ize Shan rubbed his temples and grumbled quietly, "So I hate ninjas who break the rules."
He left Konoha and settled in Yokohama because he couldn't get used to the customs of the ninja world.
But things have come to this point, and if he continues to act decisively, he will suffer the consequences. Izawa Sugi cursed Obito a few times in his mind and continued to track his target.
Without the burden of Tsuna, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, and with his chakra replenished, Izawa Sugi's speed increased by more than three times. So when he rushed to a run-down village inhabited by smugglers, the smugglers who were lurking there had just died, and the attackers had not left yet.
The moment he saw the other person, Izawa Sugi's eyes widened slightly.
"Ah! What a trouble! Someone actually saw me."
The rebel ninja Kakuzu of Takigakure pulled his hand away, and the bandit fell to the ground dead, his body hitting the ground with a thud.
"The Cloud Ninjas who have been assigned to exterminate the bandits won't arrive until tomorrow. You've arrived early. What should we do?"
Kakuzu chuckled and said, "Don't bother yourself with that. Just kill him!"
Ize Shan curled his lips and sneered: "You are right. It is rare to meet a non-human. I am also very happy. Let's kill him."
He shook his wrist and a large Uchiha fan appeared in his hand. The next second, the fan made of the sacred tree turned into a long sword under the power of the Ten-Tails.
With a clang, the long sword was unsheathed, and the blade turned an incomparable deep red.
Under his feet, the pitch-black Earth Revenge transformed into countless tentacles and rushed out. Ize Shan swung his knife in reverse, and the moment the blade cut, the Earth Revenge seemed to be burned by flames, making a sharp scream.
Kakuzu's expression changed slightly, he raised his hands and formed a seal, Fire Style: Explosion!
The exploding flames came towards him like a sea with constantly rising waves.
Izawa Sugi retracted the blade, and the blade changed like flowing water, transforming into a huge round fan again.
He raised the round fan in front of his eyes, and a light blue light flashed by.
"Uchiha counterattack!"
With a humming sound, the fierce flames suddenly rolled back, roaring and rushing, engulfing Kakuzu at an even faster speed!
Then Izawa Sugi raised his hand, and the round fan turned into a chain, at the end of which was entangled a rotating sickle.
The sickle with a flaming blade easily pierced Kakuzu's heart.
“Aaaaaaaa——!”
Kakuzu screamed and turned and ran without thinking.
Uchiha Obito's muttering voice came from his mind.
"…It's Kakuzu. He can make money."
Ize Shan raised his knife and pierced the second heart mercilessly.
"Shut up, I'm in a bad mood."
Uchiha Obito curled his lips and shrugged: "Forget it, do whatever you want."
He replaced Izawa Sugi's Sharingan and smiled as he held the basket containing the three ninjas.
"Let's go, the day trip to the Hidden Cloud Village has begun."
The space-time ninjutsu flashed by, and the figures of one big and three small disappeared.
Since Kakuzu's Earth Grudge had several lives, Izawa Sugi took some time but finally killed four of Kakuzu's lives and captured Kakuzu who was trying to escape.
After letting out his anger, Izawa Sugi felt a little better. He glared at the person with his Sharingan and directly used it to extract information.
As expected, Izawa Sugi found the figure of Kurozezutsu in Kakuzu's memory, but what surprised him was Kurozezutsu's attitude towards him.
The man controlled by Hei Zetsu actually gritted his teeth when he mentioned Izawa Sugi, and there was even a hint of fear and terror in his eyes.
Ize Shan frowned. Could it be that Hei Ze knew that he could swallow it?
Why? How did it know?
Fortunately, Izawa Sugi finally found the location where the Thousand-armed Butsukan was sealed in Kakuzu's mind. If he works quickly, he might be able to get the old man out.
Izawa Sugi decisively snapped Kakuzu and rushed to the location in his memory.
Never mind, let’s send this Master Fujian back to Konoha first to make trouble for Senju Tobirama!
