Chapter 166: Clone and Tailed Beast
Chapter 166 Clone and Tailed Beast
"So many people have failed?"
After a fierce battle with the Iwagakure ninja, the Fourth Raikage returned to the camp and got first-hand information about another battlefield.
A long time ago, Yunyin’s think tank had speculated on Iwagakushi’s next strategy. During the Battle of the Country of Grass, Iwagakure used Konoha’s rebellious ninja Hinata Ayane to press Konoha step by step.
Based on this situation, it is inevitable that Yan Yin will not use the same method to deal with Yun Yin.
Therefore, a long-prepared trap was set up at the supply point, in order to get those extremely precious white eyes.
I didn't expect to prepare so many people, plus a tailed beast, which couldn't even take down an injured woman, which made the Fourth Raikage very dissatisfied.
In this ninja world, the only ninja who can withstand the violent friction with the air caused by the celestial art and still maintain a flourishing posture is his dead father, the third generation of Raikage.
According to his estimation, even if a ninja like Ayane survived the high-speed movement of the Tensend Art without dying, he must be seriously injured.
In this case, the opponent can still run away, and the Fourth Raikage will naturally be dissatisfied with the ambushing troops.
"Yes. This is the detailed battle situation on the battlefield at that time, please read it, Lord Raikage."
Kunyin Jonnin put a piece of information in front of Fourth Raikage.
"Not only did they not catch anyone, they also sacrificed 187 ninjas, and more than 700 people were injured. How did they do it?"
The fourth generation of Raikage is seriously dissatisfied with the statistical casualty data.
Although the reason why the other party was able to escape was also stated at the end, there are too many suspicious things, and the fourth Raikage is only dubious about the above data.
However, in that situation, he was still able to escape under the siege of more than 3,000 ninjas and one Jinchuriki. Fourth Raikage became more concerned about Ayane's affairs.
"If this woman is not eliminated, sooner or later she will become a serious problem for our Yunyin."
The abnormal and terrifying soft fist, combined with Bai Yan's farsightedness and perspective ability, no one in the entire Yunyin can restrain her footsteps.
If this threat is not eliminated as soon as possible, sooner or later it will become a serious problem for Yunyin.
"Then do you want to contact Konoha?"
"Let Renegade wander around outside for so long without cleaning up, completely disregarding the responsibilities and face of the Five Kages, you know that Hokage and Dokage are the same kind. Even if you condemn him for allowing Rebel to do anything wrong, he will just keep refusing."
Fourth Raikage snorted, he never pinned his hopes on Konoha.
Not to mention that he is also interested in Konoha's number one position, and he doesn't want to share such an important blood succession boundary with Baiyan.
The things he grabbed belonged to him, and had nothing to do with Konoha.
"Quickly formulate a suitable strategy based on her intelligence. Even if she can't be eliminated, her range of activities must be limited. In addition, Urge Bi to complete the training of perfect human strength as soon as possible, so that he will not waste time on singing."
Raikage the Fourth let out a sigh of relief, stood up from his chair and walked out.
Leaving Yunyin Jonin with a helpless face, he formulated a strategy against the white eyes, which he did not have absolute confidence in.
The only chance to get a supercilious look wasted, and continuing to use other strategies to deal with ninjas of this level is just a waste of time.
If Konoha provides Baiyan's information, a better combat strategy can be formulated, but in the current situation, it is impossible for Konoha to hand over such important information to outsiders for analysis.
As for urging Rabbi Riki the Eight-Tails Jinchur, Jominin Kumoin was even more silent.
Fortunately, I didn't tell about Kirabi's large-scale concert a few days ago, otherwise Raikage-sama would definitely be furious. Yun Yin Shangren thought helplessly in his heart.
◎
It took Ayane more than a week to heal her injuries before she considered returning to the Land of Earth, and it took another four or five days on the road.
What she didn't expect was that the place where the time-space ninjutsu was transferred to would be the extremely distant Thunder Country Strait. In order to avoid Yun Yin's sight, he could only walk on land by taking a long detour, which took a little longer.
Meeting with Onogi again, Onogi simply asked Ayane to hand over the remaining reward for this mission. A total of fifty million taels.
Adding the initial deposit of 50 million taels, the total reward is 100 million taels.
Although he was ambushed by Yunyin, it is also true that Yunyin's supply point was destroyed.
Yanyin felt at ease with a 100 million reward fee.
"Your Excellency Dokage, I need the information of Kumoin Ninja."
Ayane directly made this request to Onogi.
Onoki frowned.
"This is unnecessary, right?"
"No, I almost died this time. There are many master ninjas in Yunyin. They may not be very famous in the ninja world, but they all have their own unique abilities. If I know more, I can kill a few more difficult cloud ninjas for you. This is a very good deal, isn't it, Your Excellency Tukage?"
Ayane seduced her carefully.
After careful consideration, this is an opportunity for her to further cooperate with Yan Yin.
Onoki took a serious look at Ayane, and always felt that Ayane had another purpose for making such a request.
However, the other party is just a defected ninja who has no power and wanders around the ninja world. Even if he gets the information, it shouldn't affect anything.
However, Ohnoki felt that he was at a loss when he handed over the information of Yunyin Ninja to Ayane for reading.
After all, these intelligences are all precious data that Yanyin collected after spending countless money and a lot of time, and ultimately sacrificing many excellent intelligence officers.
"How do you think about it, Your Excellency Dokage?"
Ayane asked.
She was not worried that Ohnoki would refuse.
"It's okay to give this information to you, but for the next two tasks, you will provide free assistance to Yan Yin, so I will give you the information for review."
"Yes. But you can't falsify in intelligence."
"Of course. The old man just can't understand your fake smile, and the more you know about Yunyin, the more you can help Yanyin."
Ohnogi snorted, always feeling that this white-eyed little girl was too pushy.
Not only do they want to eat and drink for nothing at Yanyin, but now they even want to take the top-secret information as their own.
But what Ayane said is correct, if you don’t know about those ninjas who use strange ninjutsu, it’s easy to suffer in the first battle. This time is a good lesson.
This is all to better cooperate with Yan Yin and repel the cloud hidden ninja.
However, Ohnoki still felt pain when he thought of sharing the top-secret information with Ayane.
I can only hope that she can serve Iwan Yin well during the cooperation period and defeat those cloud hidden ninjas.
Onoki acted very quickly. About an hour later, he sent someone to put Yun Yin's information in the tent where Ayane was, and let her preview the top-secret information.
Ayane looked at a large pile of documents in front of her, on which were recorded the names of the ninjas of Yunyin.
Among them, the Fourth Raikage is at the top of the list. We have collected detailed information about his hobbies, personality, ninjutsu characteristics, etc., and formulated several very detailed targeting strategies.
The rest, such as the Molten Ninja Terrace, Magnetic Ninja Troy, etc., also have detailed records. Some are famous, some are unknown, but they have extremely tricky secret techniques or blood succession limit ability.
Some of them even came from Yunyin Anbe.
From these information, Ayane can see Onogi's sincerity, and also feel that Iwagakushi has no successors.
To such a degree of ‘compromise’ to her rebellious ninja, it can be seen that in Yanyin, apart from Tsuchikage himself, there is almost no second ninja who can be alone.
Moreover, Yanyin's combat strategy is also based on group Tudun. It is precisely because of this collective supremacy and individual strength that ninjas have become so missing.
Keep in mind the information of these dozens of named Yunyin Shangren, and find a time to send it back to the country of ghosts, which can save a lot of time and energy for the intelligence department.

In the land of land far away from the battlefield in the north of the land of land, due to the sudden intervention of Yuyin village, it directly disrupted the original strategic deployment of sand hidden.
The Land of Rain is a small country that has been suffering from a big country for a long time. In the past, such a small country living between big countries had no dignity at all.
For example, in the Country of Grass, domestic politics is corrupt and incompetent, and Caoyin Village relies on the breath of the big country to endure the village to survive. It does not want to clean up the chaotic situation in the Country of Grass.
Therefore, when Yuyin Village declared war on Sand Yin this time, the people of the Land of Rain, who had been oppressed by the great power for a long time, couldn't help applauding secretly.
After all, the ninja leader in their country, Sanshoyu Hanzo is a powerful ninja that everyone knows.
It's like a person who fell into the water, grabbing the last straw around him, trying to make a final struggle.
Standing in the icy rain, Hanzo stood on the edge of the cliff, with only his cronies Kanzo following him.
"Kanzang, has the manpower gathered yet?"
Hanzo asked about Kanzang.
"All the manpower that can be dispatched has been assembled. A total of more than 1,600 ninjas participated in the battle, and the other 500 people stayed in the village. Other than that..."
Kanzang said so far, I don't know whether to continue talking.
"What's going on besides that?"
"In our Yuyin, there are many fragmented small groups. One of them is called 'Akatsuki'. It has more than 20 people in it, and it is also a good force. But their leader named 'Yahiko' seems to disapprove of using war to resolve the internal chaos in the Kingdom of Rain, and wants to negotiate with Sand Yin through peace talks. He has also repeatedly asked to see Mr. Hanzo, hoping not to start a war, but I sternly refused."
Kanzang replied honestly.
"Yeah?"
Hanzo murmured, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Master Hanzo, do you want to expel them from Yuyin?"
"No need. Since they don't want to participate in the war, let them stay in the village. Now that the Land of Rain is in turmoil, the power of Akatsuki can be used, although their ideas are still very naive. Yahiko...he is a young man."
Hanzo said affirmatively with a questioning tone.
Jongma’s life experience has given him a pair of insightful eyes to see the essence of things. Only those young people who still have hope for a big country and are easy to accept the idea of peace are those who have such naive and cute ideas.
Moreover, if it is an old man in the village, it is impossible for him not to have heard of this name before.
"Yes, the people in this group are all young people under the age of twenty, and the youngest seems to be only thirteen years old. There are rumors that their leader, Yahiko, is a student of Jiraiya, one of the Sannin."
Kanzang thought of something and said.
"Ji Lai Ye?"
Hanzo was slightly surprised.
It was the name of a young ninja that reminded him.
In the last Ninja World War, the Konoha ninja unit stationed in Yuyin, one of the three people who resisted him to the end, one of them was named 'Jiraiya'.
At that time, I admired that these three people possessed impressive abilities at a young age, and they were able to linger on to the end under his power, so out of appreciation, they spared their lives, and finally bestowed on them the name of "Three Forbearance".
"Yes, the ninja who is as famous as Orochimaru and Tsunade is currently leading the Konoha troops to fight Iwagakure in the Country of Grass."
"Speaking of which, those three boys have grown a lot after that battle."
Hanzo showed a faint smile on his face, looking in a good mood.
But when he saw the deserted village at the foot of the mountain, with a large number of corpses lying there, all of them were ordinary villagers from the Land of Rain, Hanzo sighed quietly.
These villagers didn't die because of being affected by the battle, but starved to death here.
Because of the corruption and incompetence of the daimyo and the nobles, the large amount of materials used by the Land of Rain to keep the civilians alive were almost all contributed to Sand Yin.
There must be a part of his sin in it.
In the early stage of this war, he ordered the strategy of not resisting and not sticking to it, which led to the unscrupulous actions of these big ninjas here.
"Has Konoha sent a reply?"
Hanzo asked Kanzo in a sad mood after cleaning up.
"Yes, Master Hanzo. Konoha has already given a letter of approval. They are willing to join forces and want to sign a joint document with us, Yu Yin."
Kanzang stepped forward and said.
Hanzo sneered: "The so-called joint document is just a piece of waste paper. At this time, Hokage is still playing this kind of word game."
An alliance document between a big country and a big country can be said to go back and forth, let alone a joint document between a big country and a small country. This kind of document will definitely be modified by the big country.
As for the reason, just find an excuse that is beneficial to you after the modification.
This is a trick that big countries have always played. Only when their own interests are involved, there is the so-called spirit of contract.
Therefore, regarding the joint document submitted by Konoha, Hanzo did not believe any of the words on it, and it would only dirty his eyes.
"The battle with Sand Yin will be a protracted battle. Tell Konoha that Yu Yin has insufficient supplies and needs them to provide them."
Hanzo said so.
"yes."
Seeing that Hanzo had made up his mind, Kanzo nodded and continued respectfully.
After Kanzang left, Hanzo continued to stand here in the rain for a long time before slowly returning to the camp to prepare for the battle.

At the same time, at the Sand Hidden high-level meeting.
Advisor Chiyo rejected all the arguments, and directly said with a serious face: "Raine is nothing to worry about. Hanzo is the strongest. Even if his body is not as good as before, and his strength has declined, as long as he joins in, even a person must be the center of the whirlpool."
The rest of the high-ranking ninja were skeptical.
It’s not that he looked down on Hanzo’s strength. Being able to be recognized as a demigod by the ninja world during the Second Ninja World War is definitely not a strength that he boasted about, but was publicly recognized by the ninja world.
It's just that once too many troops are invested in Hanzo, it will be difficult for Konoha to suppress it, and the advantage it has finally gained will also fall apart.
"However, Hanzo is only one person."
"For the current ninja world, his name is an insurmountable mountain, the apex of ninjas. I agree with my sister's point of view. If Hanzo is not restricted, the subsequent battles will be difficult to control. This is a last resort."
Another senior consultant, Ebizo, also spoke in support of Chiyo.
He, like Chiyo, was an older ninja who had faced Hanzo directly, so he knew how powerful Hanzo was.
Both high-level advisers advocated dealing with Hanzo first, rather than devoting energy to Konoha, which naturally attracted the attention of many high-level shunin.
After all, Chiyo and Ebizo have been working hard for Sagakure all these years. Their decision must be based on the overall interests of Sagakure.
Therefore, he considered dealing with Konoha's high-ranking Sagakure first, and after hesitating for a while, he began to approach Chiyo's opinion.
◎
At the beginning of April, that is, spring, it was still raining in the Land of Rain.
With Konoha providing sufficient supplies, Umehid began the first battle with Sahid.
Konoha's troops stationed in the Kingdom of the Rain, also led by Orochimaru, launched a counterattack against Sand Yin in an attempt to destroy Sand Yin's long-standing arrogance.
Facing the joint offensive of Yuyin and Konoha, after a period of panic, Sand Yin also started to fight steadily. He was not in a hurry to decide the victory or defeat at once.
"How crafty."
Orochimaru frowned as he looked at the location where Sagakure kept receding on the map.
You must know that after a whole year of crushing, many supplies from the Land of Rain have been eaten by Sand Yin, and with the supplies that Sand Yin prepared in advance, he is qualified to fight a protracted war.
But Konoha is different. Hanzo threatens the alliance and asks Konoha to supply Yuyin.
Hearing Hanzo’s request, Konoha readily provided Umein with free funding, because Konoha hoped to unite Umein to end the battlefield of the Land of Rain as soon as possible, evacuate from here, and then go to support the Konoha troops in the Land of Grass.
But Sand Hidden’s approach directly cut off Orochimaru’s idea of a quick solution and wanted to delay time.
After all, it is impossible for Konoha to provide free support to Yuyin for a long time. Even if there is paid support, to be honest, Orochimaru does not believe that Yuyin can spend enough funds to buy supplies from Konoha.
It is okay to provide Yuyin with supplies in a short period of time, but not for a long time. When the time comes, Yuyin who lacks supplies will definitely lose combat effectiveness. Not only will he not be able to provide Konoha with combat effectiveness, but it may also become a drag on Konoha.
Even after seeing through Sand Hidden's insidious strategy, Orochimaru has no good ideas.
Sa Yin shrinks into a tortoise shell, just waiting for the alliance relationship between Konoha and Yuyin to break down.
Recently, the number of attacks on supply points has become more and more frequent. Sand Yin wants to further deplete Konoha's reserve materials, increase Konoha's material burden, and accelerate the demise of the ambiguous period between Konoha and Yuyin.
"What are you going to do about it?"
Danzo sat opposite Dashemaru and asked Dashemaru what to do.
"The only way is to ask the daimyo to increase the supply of materials to Konoha, especially food."
"The harvest in recent years has not been good, and the civilians in the Nation of Fire don't have much food to eat. Moreover, what the ninjas eat is military food, which is much more refined and expensive than ordinary food. Konoha can be self-sufficient, but if it is used to subsidize Yuyin, it must reduce the supplies of its own people, and this subsidy can only last for three months at most."
Danzo analyzed it and said.
“Three months is too fast, it’s not enough.”
Orochimaru said hoarsely.
Sha Yin can't avoid fighting, this is what he fears most.
Soon, Orochimaru thought about it, and said to Danzo:
"In this case, let the village buy grain from other surrounding countries. Rough grain is also fine. As long as it is edible, it will be bought with money, and these rough foods will be used by Yuyin."
Although knowing that this is a great challenge to Konoha's finances, and frequently asking daimyo for funds, the daimyo may have some criticisms, but Orochimaru has no better way to deal with this matter now.
Konoha is now on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain, and cannot do without the help of Yuyin.
Once losing Yuyin as an ally, Shayin will immediately overwhelm the territory with an army, rushing all the way into the territory of the Land of Fire.
Hearing Orochimaru's proposal, Danzo knew that this was the best solution right now, so he nodded.
"Okay, I see, I'll contact Ri Zhan right away."
Just about to walk out of the tent, Orochimaru's voice sounded from behind again:
"By the way, let the village send a few more ninjas from the Hyuga clan over. I need their help with their white eyes. This is the end of the matter, it's better to smash the cans, even if you want to cover up those scandals, it's too late."
◎
Shiraishi, who is far away in the land of ghosts, has temporarily put aside his attention to the ninja world, and is doing an important research in his laboratory.
In the huge glass container filled with green solution, there is a fiery red object that resembles a biological heart, sleeping peacefully inside, bathing in the rich natural energy in the cultivation container.
"Master Shiraishi's clone creation technique is really special."
Lying on Shiraishi's shoulder, the living slug looked at the fiery red meat with strong vitality in the glass container, and let out a sound of admiration.
In this container, a new clone of Shiraishi is cultivated.
"It's nothing, it's just because I feel that my ninja ability is insufficient, so I have to find another way to increase the means of fighting the enemy."
Baishi smiled modestly.
"Is it a clone of fire this time? I feel a fiery energy in this heart."
"Yes."
"But it seems that there is only a heart in the container. Could it be a clone that can move without a body?" Huo Bu asked curiously.
"Well, because the body of the fire clone is a bit special, at present, I can only create its 'core' first, endow it with soul and life, and I am not in a hurry to put a body on him."
Live slug doesn't understand these things, but he can also feel the extraordinaryness of this heart.
This unborn fire clone, like the other clones, must have its own unique spell system.
"By the way, live slug, let me ask you a question."
"What?"
"If I use the chakra of the nine-tailed beast and fuse them together, can I develop part of the power of the ten-tailed beast?"
Baishi thought of something interesting and asked very interestedly.
There were several white claw fragments in his hand.
is the precious experimental product that Ayane sent back from the Land of Earth—Two-tailed Claw.
Currently he has collected the chakra of the three-headed and tailed beast.
are one tail, two tails, and the strongest nine tails.
Therefore, Shiraishi had a bold idea in his heart. Can the chakra of the nine-headed and tailed beast be used to breed ten tails?
Facing Shiraishi's extremely jumpy question, the living slug was also stunned for a while, and slowly replied: "I don't know about this, but the chakra of the nine-headed and tailed beast is only part of the completion of the ten-tailed beast. It should be impossible to simulate the power of the ten-tailed beast simply using the chakra of the nine-headed and tailed beast."
"I see."
Baishi nodded, his idea is indeed a bit whimsical.
However, even so, the chakra of the nine-headed and tailed beast is worth collecting. Such good material is very helpful for his clone research.
And it also has a great relationship with Sharingan and Baiyan. Maybe using the energy of these tailed beasts, Sharingan and Baiyan can complete the evolution.
But at present, it is only a theoretical hypothesis stage, which cannot be applied to practice, and there are too many uncertain factors.
As for the research on tailed beasts, the progress has not been very fast.
Tail beast research is progressing slowly, the truth is here—
Beside the heart of the fire clone, there are two huge glass containers.
A sand-yellow, human-sized tail soaked in a container.
In another container, there is an orange-red tail of the same size, with pimple-like orange-red chakra bubbles.
are the tails of one tail and nine tails respectively.
It took a total of more than a year from the initial chakra mass to this form.
And the more it is cultivated, the more difficult it will be.
Shiraishi conservatively estimates that at the current growth rate, it will take at least two hundred years to reproduce the complete one-tail and nine-tail.
