Chapter 68 Fate
While Shiba Kiyokawa was certifying his lineage, the person who originated this line was having a rough time.
In the first quarter of the new year, Danzo was finally driven to the northern front by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
On one hand, the situation in the Fourth Shinobi World War was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Konoha, and on the other hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi himself didn't really trust the Uchiha clan.
Hiruzen Sarutobi needed Danzo to keep an eye on this clan for him.
At the beginning of the year, as soon as the Uchiha clan went to the battlefield, a young genius immediately showed his talent!
His name is: Uchiha Shisui!
Although the battlefield is different from the original work, Uchiha Shisui's rise is still so rapid, amazing, and unstoppable!
In the original work, the Phantom Body Flicker, which the Hidden Mist ninjas couldn't handle, also gave the Hidden Iwagakure a huge headache.
Although the name "Instantaneous Movement" has not yet been officially confirmed, its popularity and recognition on this battlefield are already very high!
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, as long as Shisui doesn't perish or suffer a major defeat, this title will, at most, transcend geographical limitations and spread throughout the entire ninja world in another month.
All of this irritated Danzo.
His recent attempts to win over Uchiha Shisui have repeatedly failed, which has fueled his resentment.
"Hmph! I thought this kid would be the next Uchiha Kagami, but in the end he's just a born evil brat!"
Uchiha Kagami (pictured above) was a disciple of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and was a teammate of Danzo. He was also Shisui's direct elder.
Because of this relationship, Danzo thought that winning over Shisui should be a sure thing.
Unexpectedly, a butterfly that had traveled through time had flapped its wings fiercely before, and now it had tangled the threads of fate into a mess.
Although Shisui did not reject Danzo's current overtures, Danzo felt a distinct sense of alienation and scrutiny.
This infuriated Danzo.
What right does a born evil Uchiha have to scrutinize me? Everything I do is for Konoha, and you have no right to question me! You should just obediently follow my orders!
Until recently, Danzo, who was on the front lines, finally caught a clue about this Uchiha prodigy.
Through his investigation by his Root ninja subordinates, he confirmed that Uchiha Shisui seemed to be particularly concerned about news from the neighboring Land of Rain!
"What connection does an Uchiha have with the Land of Rain?"
His question left his subordinate ninjas speechless.
At times like this, Danzo would especially miss his former right-hand man, Ryoma Aburame.
Those are the subordinates who truly understand his thoughts and can accurately provide him with emotional value and work assistance.
It's such a pity that such a caring subordinate has died...
And coincidentally, he died in the Land of Rain.
Wait, he died in the Land of Rain!
At that moment, Danzo's eyes narrowed, a dangerous and cold light flashing in them.
Is there some connection between them?
Perhaps it was the convergence of timelines, or the unification of fate, but now, even though Danzo had no information about Nagato possessing the Rinnegan, he still turned his attention to the Land of Rain, a small country that he had never paid any attention to until last year.
"Send someone to the Land of Rain to gather some intelligence. This will be a good opportunity to reopen the investigation into the disappearance of Aburame Ryoma," Danzo ordered in a deep voice.
The subordinate asked with trepidation, "But... last year, Lord Minato Namikaze issued a statement on behalf of Konoha, acknowledging the neutrality of the Land of Rain."
Danzo immediately flew into a rage, "What right does Minato Namikaze have to represent the village? I am the elder of Konoha! Only a fool like that monkey would be held hostage by a mere piece of waste paper!"
It would have been better if we hadn't mentioned this, because mentioning Danzo only made him more vulnerable.
It's like someone is constantly reminding him: Aren't you angry? Everyone outside believes that Minato Namikaze is the next Hokage, and the village has tacitly approved of it. Aren't you angry?
It was like a knife repeatedly stabbing into his heart!
This made him hate Minato Namikaze as well.
"Send men to the Land of Rain immediately! Once I find out the truth, I will personally avenge Aburame Ryoma!"
At the end of last year, Iwagakure suddenly declared war. Due to the failure of Root's intelligence, the disadvantaged team was forced to play dead in the village.
But now that some time has passed, the weather has cleared up and the rain has stopped, Danzo's mischievous heart is starting to stir again!
Black Zetsu quickly discovered all of this.
He was secretly delighted, feeling that the opportunity had come. So he immediately sent White Zetsu, who had been hiding next to Hanzo of the Salamander and had transformed into a Rain Ninja, to act as a go-between for Konoha's Root.
"Hahaha, Shiba Kiyokawa, what do you think you can fight me with? You and your Akatsuki are destined to become nourishment for the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
Black Zetsu was extremely pleased with himself, feeling that victory was assured.
Unbeknownst to them, the organization had already abandoned all illusions and begun a frenzied mobilization for war.
A month had passed since Shiba Kiyokawa's last speech, and as promised, he organized a large-scale ninja ranking exam within the Akatsuki organization.
Almost all the Akatsuki ninjas signed up for this test.
For the past month, their training has been more rigorous than ever before, and Shiba Kiyokawa has not held back, teaching everyone as many suitable ninjutsu as possible.
His longest-serving subordinates, such as Karasu, Masuda Kazuki, and Kenshiro, have all been promoted to Jonin this time, and their strength is far ahead of others in the organization!
Although Ziyanghua failed to be promoted to Jonin, considering the unique use of this girl's summoning jutsu, Shiba Kiyokawa simply referred to the system of the major ninja villages and set the little girl's rank as a Special Jonin.
The young hydrangeas jumped and danced with joy.
Many other members also advanced in this assessment.
Because Shiba Kiyokawa established a system that allows anyone who is promoted to Chunin to receive a monthly salary, it has motivated a large number of ordinary Genin who had previously given up to work hard!
Many genin in their thirties had shown unprecedented enthusiasm for training in the past month, rejuvenating themselves and training with teenagers in ninjutsu and ninja tools every day.
Just as this ceremony, which was half assessment and half military parade, was in full swing, someone suddenly rushed in to report to the leader in a disheveled state.
"Chief of Qinghe, a strange man has come from outside."
"wack?"
"Yes! He wore a mask and didn't want to show his face. As soon as he arrived, he started yelling for money. We asked him if he wanted to join the organization, but he said no. We told him to leave, but he wouldn't. He just kept asking for money."
Who is so greedy for money? Shiba Kiyokawa had a vague idea in mind.
"I'm going out to take a look."
He responded to his subordinate and used his teleportation technique to reach the outer edge of the arena, where he indeed saw a face that looked quite familiar.
He had a slightly dark complexion, wore a simple black robe, and had a horizontal slash on his headband that indicated he was a rogue ninja. His pupils were green, and his eyes were quite terrifying.
He was surrounded by Akatsuki ninjas who were cautiously approaching him.
Previously, some people couldn't stand this person's arrogant attitude and greedy attitude, so they went up to fight him, but they were all defeated in one move.
Fortunately, the strange man in front of them knew to leave some room for maneuver when doing things on someone else's turf, and did not kill him.
When Shiba Kiyokawa came out, the eccentric man remained unfazed and asked a rather annoying question.
"I heard that all Jonin here receive a monthly allowance, is that true? Why can't I receive it?"
Shiba Kiyokazu smiled.
Come to think of it, this person in front of me does have some connection with the Akatsuki organization.
I recommend a Pokémon book.
Traveling through the Pokémon world, Qing Shui, without any system, becomes the Sinnoh Champion and the strongest in the world entirely through his own efforts.
Then a system appeared, claiming it could help him become a champion trainer, and issued his first mission.
Head to the Yamanashi Lab to collect your starter Pokémon.
[Note: Owning your own Pokémon and embarking on a journey is a small step for every trainer, but a giant leap towards becoming a champion.]
Qing Shui: "???"
No, I'm already the strongest in the world, and you still want me to start my journey with a starter Pokémon.
It's one thing to be late, but isn't your latency a bit too high?
