“That sir is qualified to do so.”
Princess Tsuratsu spoke.
The Hidden Cloud Village will not rashly launch a war.
The White Snake Sage could observe the ninja world, so even though Princess Tsuru rarely went out, she heard the White Snake Sage talk a lot about the outside world.
Moreover, the White Snake Immortal's observations were more insightful; they were also aware of the subtle maneuvers of various factions.
The Hidden Cloud Village made thorough preparations before taking the initiative to provoke the war, thus ushering in the chaotic Third Shinobi World War.
Now that countries have been recuperating for many years, the militant faction is showing signs of resurgence.
However, without the confidence to deal with Kiyoshi, no one would be the first to step forward.
Unless Kiyoshi or Hashirama Senju die suddenly, war is unlikely to break out in a few years.
Given the current situation, it is unlikely that war will break out.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."
Shizune nodded; she understood Kiyoshi's power.
The previous Fourth Raikage, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki were no match for Kiyoshi.
"I'll go take a look around too."
After completing her mission, Shizune returned to her residence and found that Tsunade and Kiyoshi had both left. She then decided to give herself a short break.
This entire process was witnessed by Kato Dan.
He arrived here very early to wait for Tsunade.
However, Kato Dan sensed a very dangerous aura, so he did not approach rashly, but instead stood guard on a street a kilometer away.
Such prolonged possession and control of enemies can be considered an application of the "Spirit Transformation Technique," but it requires a lot of chakra.
If it weren't for the Edo Tensei technique, Kato Dan would have exhausted his chakra using such a move, risking death.
"Looks like the silencing didn't go too badly."
This was Kato Dan's only consolation.
In the next instant, his soul detached from the Cloud Village genin's body and quickly flew back to his original form.
The Cloud Village genin, after a moment of confusion, gradually regained his senses.
How did I get here?
The Cloud Ninja scratched his head, feeling that his memory was getting worse and worse.
Then he went to do his own thing.
"You're finally back, Duan."
Orochimaru looked at Kato Dan's body.
The next moment, Kato Dan opened his eyes.
"So, did you see what you wanted to see?"
Orochimaru asked.
"I don't want to talk about this."
Kato Dan shook his head.
He brought up another matter, saying:
"What will the organization do after they retrieve the Seven-Tails?"
Kato Dan had only been a member of Akatsuki for a short time, and since he was an Edo Tensei ninja, many things were not revealed to him.
"They should be able to unleash some kind of rare monster."
Orochimaru said.
Chapter 433 Is Sasuke also the Child of Prophecy?
The Tailed Beast Capture Project is generally thought to be about collecting all nine tailed beasts and controlling them.
However, Nagato can summon a strange monster that they call the "Gedo Mazo".
That thing is said to be able to absorb tailed beasts, but they need to be put in in a certain order.
The current "Gedo Mazo" is already terrifying enough. Orochimaru can hardly imagine what the "Gedo Mazo" would become if it collected all nine tailed beasts.
In his view, this should be the purpose of the New Dawn organization.
At that time, even Kiyoshi-kun will not be a match for him.
"monster?"
Kato frowned.
He always felt that the Xinxiao organization was shrouded in mystery and shrouded in secrecy.
……
"This place looks quite different from Konoha in many ways."
Meanwhile, Kiyoshi and Tsunade were still strolling around the streets of Kumogakure.
This was also Kiyoshi's first time here.
Long ago, Kiyoshi lived in a very remote town in the Land of Lightning, so his Uchiha clan bloodline was not discovered by the Hidden Cloud Village.
This gave them the opportunity to be discovered by Uchiha Yakumi, who then took them back.
"There are indeed many things I've never seen before."
Tsunade chimed in from the side, her gaze lingering curiously on the shops lining both sides of the street. The diamond-shaped mark of the "Yin Seal" on her forehead had disappeared, the vast amount of chakra accumulated there having been almost completely depleted during her recent "training" with Kiyoshi.
However, Tsunade's appearance did not change much, because while she was expending her chakra to resist Kiyoshi, she was also gaining new power.
Just like after transplanting "Hashirama cells", the amount of chakra will immediately increase greatly, allowing the person to recover their entire condition.
The same applies to Tsunade's "Kiyoshi Cells".
As she passed a quaint jewelry shop, a wooden hairpin caught Tsunade's eye.
The hairpin is carved from sandalwood, a type of wood unique to the Land of Lightning, with delicate textures and a small but lustrous pearl set at the top.
"Like this?"
Kiyoshi noticed her gaze lingering and asked softly.
Tsunade nodded subconsciously, then hesitated and said:
"I just think...the style is quite unique."
Kiyoshi walked straight into the shop, and a moment later, the wooden hairpin was lying in his palm.
"Turn around."
Tsunade turned slightly as instructed, feeling Kiyoshi's fingers gently run through her radiant golden hair, skillfully gathering the strands and securing them firmly with a wooden hairpin.
His movements were fluid and natural, as if he had done it countless times before.
"how?"
She tilted her head slightly, a barely perceptible blush rising at the base of her ears, her voice carrying a rare hint of shyness.
Kiyoshi scrutinized her, a hint of satisfied appreciation flashing in his eyes, and said:
"It's beautiful and suits you perfectly."
Tsunade's fingertips lightly brushed against the wooden hairpin in her hair.
"You always give me these things... I don't know how to repay you."
Upon hearing this, Qing Si's lips curled into a meaningful smile. He leaned closer to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her fair earlobe, and slowly said:
"You really want to repay me? Then tonight... you'd better be even more cunning."
"Rebel..."
Tsunade's cheeks flushed instantly. She clenched her fist and gently punched his chest. Her reproachful tone, however, contained no real anger, but was instead full of affection.
Even so, if an ordinary person were to take this hit, they would probably be sent flying hundreds of meters.
With the addition of "Seijiro Cells," Tsunade's physical vitality became even stronger, and her strength naturally increased as well.
When they are unconscious, they exert much more strength than usual.
…………
It wasn't until the afternoon that Kiyoshi led Tsunade to the Raikage Building in Kumogakure.
The Raikage Building exudes a cold and pragmatic atmosphere that is completely different from the Hokage Building.
Guided by the Cloud Village ninja, Kiyoshi and Tsunade entered the main conference room.
The Fourth Raikage, A, was already seated in the main seat, his bronze skin revealing bulging muscles, like a silent mountain, exuding a powerful aura.
His gaze was sharp, locking onto Kiyoshi and Tsunade the moment they entered.
Seeing Kiyoshi's leisurely demeanor, the Fourth Raikage was furious.
If it weren't for Kiyoshi's strength, his fiery temper would have flared up long ago.
What the hell do they take bilateral diplomacy for?!
Are they really here for a tourist trip to Kumogakure?
After venting his anger, the Fourth Raikage tried to keep his voice calm and began to continue discussing the previous trade transactions with Kiyoshi.
This involves the medical field, and the Fourth Raikage is eager to leverage his size advantage to lower prices and secure the most favorable terms in the import of advanced medical technologies and drugs.
"Lord Raikage."
Kiyoshi's voice was calm as he sat in a chair, while Tsunade sat beside him, her capri pants covering her thighs tightly as she sat.
Just by sitting next to her, Kiyoshi could feel the plump flesh on one side of her thigh.
Tsunade listened quietly to Kiyoshi and the Fourth Raikage negotiating, her mind still preoccupied with the wooden hairpin.
She wondered what else she could give Kiyoshi besides working harder at night.
"Cooperation and win-win are the foundation. Konoha is unparalleled in the ninja world in medical ninjutsu, especially in the fields of rapid wound repair and cell activation. The price reflects the value."
Kiyoshi calmly explained his point of view, affirming both the needs of Kumogakure and maintaining Konoha's technological advantage.
He proposed a comprehensive solution that includes technology sharing, personnel training, and drug exports.
Of course, the overall trend is still more favorable to Konoha.
A powerful nation naturally has the right to acquire more benefits.
The Land of Lightning was a defeated nation in the Third Shinobi World War, and the day of its defeat foreshadowed its current fate.
Unless war breaks out again, reshaping the global landscape.
During the process, Kiyoshi's gaze would occasionally sweep over Samui.
Samui and Atsi also arrived here, while her younger brother Atsi stood a little further away.
On the first day, Kiyoshi granted them some freedom, allowing them to move freely within the Hidden Cloud Village.
Whether or not Kumogakure can accept them is a matter for Samui and her brother.
Samui watched the negotiations between Kiyoshi and the Fourth Raikage, occasionally turning her head to look at the scenery of Kumogakure outside the window, a hint of longing appearing in her eyes. This was the village where she was born and raised, and every inch of this land held her emotions.
But... Samui also sensed something unfamiliar.
Three years after three years, their espionage career had long since rendered them obsolete in the Hidden Cloud Village.
Even if they remain loyal to Kumogakure and the Kumogakure leadership accepts their return, the people of Kumogakure probably won't agree.
At this moment, Kiyoshi keenly noticed that this seemingly cold and aloof beauty would slightly tighten her fingertips when she heard the Fourth Raikage emphasize that "we must strive for the greatest benefit for Kumogakure".
It's clear that she still has a strong attachment to Kumogakure.
Just as the negotiations entered a crucial stage, with the details of a certain technology transfer being hotly debated, Kiyoshi picked up his teacup and took a sip, and in that instant, the Sharingan with its three tomoe in his dark eyes subtly spun for a moment.
An extremely subtle fluctuation of pupil power, like an invisible thread, quietly invaded Samui's body.
