Chapter 31 Jiraiya!
Chapter 31 Jiraiya!
Wood Release and Sharingan are topics that can never be avoided in the ninja world.
The legendary ninja god Hashirama Senju and the ninja world's Asura Madara Uchiha, with their Wood Release and Sharingan, brought an end to the Warring States period.
Those powers have never faded with the passage of time.
On the contrary, in the eyes of these old people, those two forces were like the deepest imprints, becoming clearer and more terrifying!
Needless to say, even without Madara Uchiha, and despite the constant suppression from the Konoha leadership, their title as the strongest ninja clan in the ninja world remains unshaken.
Wood Release has been deified!
Decades later, these two forces have reappeared simultaneously and converged on one person, which makes one wonder.
Gouju Cheng picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, spat the tea leaves back out, and then grinned as he met Gouju Hui's hopeful gaze.
"Uncle, what do you think?"
"You little brat."
Goujuhui gave Goujucheng a deep look.
This kid usually seems unreliable, but as someone who raised him since he was a child and is practically his father, Gou Juhui knows exactly what kind of person he is.
"The power of Wood Release and the Sharingan is too sensitive, especially Wood Release. Even if you copy it, use it sparingly, otherwise it will cause real trouble and be difficult to handle."
"I won't say much more. What are your plans for Project Fogblade?"
"How do you know? Even a toe could tell it's a death sentence!"
Mentioning this, Gouju spat out a mouthful of tea leaves: "The Third Hokage, and those elders, all they wanted to do was throw this sword of mine, which had just begun to show its edge, into the most dangerous place to see how big a wound it could make, or... break it in two."
"If they succeed, it's because of their strategic planning; if they fail, it's because of my incompetence. Dying will be a clean end for me."
"But you have to go."
"I can't breathe," said Gouju Hui calmly.
Some things, of course, cannot be explained in just a few words.
In the past, political power could be used to manipulate things within the village, but now that war is on the horizon, everyone has to give way to the war!
"I know, so I need to prepare well."
"Have you come up with any ideas regarding candidates?"
"Yes, we need to bring Hozuki Mangetsu along."
"That genius, Hozuki?"
Gouju Hui glanced at Gouju Cheng with some surprise, then nodded emphatically: "That kid is indeed a good choice, but he's a bit too young. But it's not a big problem. If those old guys from the Hozuki clan have any objections, I'll speak up for you."
The Hozuki clan is also the Mizukage clan of Kirigakure.
When the Second Mizukage overpowered the Third Mizukage to take over, the Hozuki clan became the number one ninja clan in Kirigakure, enjoying unparalleled prestige.
Unfortunately, after the first battle, the second generation died in battle, and the third generation took over. The Hozuki clan was in a period of transition and gradually declined.
But no matter what, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The Hozuki clan's foundation is there. If Karimoto can really bring the Hozuki genius under his command, it's the same as bringing the Hozuki clan over!
Gou Juhui's eyes revealed an approving look.
This nephew may seem carefree, but he's actually quite meticulous.
"Anything else?"
"That's all."
"What?"
"That's all. I only know one other person, I don't know anyone else. Do you have any suggestions for an uncle?"
Seeing Goji Makoto's expression, Goji Teru couldn't help but facepalm, speechless, and silently retracted his praise.
This kid is at least seventeen or eighteen years old, has been a ninja for almost ten years, and has been working in the police department for a few years. And he only knows one Hozuki Mangetsu?
If he remembered correctly, the Third Hozuki had just assigned Hozuki Mangetsu about a month ago!
But then I thought about it again. Given Makoto Karatachi's past behavior, even if he did have any partners, they would probably be some spoiled brats. The Mist Blade Project is so important that it can't be filled with shoddy stuff.
"Operation Fogblade goes deep behind enemy lines and requires the elite of the elite. They must not only be highly skilled, but also loyal and reliable, able to handle all kinds of emergencies, and preferably have special expertise in certain areas to complement you."
"You have the hand of God, and your foundation is solid, so you can be considered all-around. But that also means that the others must also have outstanding characteristics."
"Medical ninja, reconnaissance ninja... never mind, I'll help you think of someone."
Gou Juhui spoke in a deep voice, explaining earnestly, but Gou Jucheng was listening with a drowsy expression.
Then, changing the subject, the kid came back to life.
"Hehe, this is great."
"Get serious, kid. This mission is no joke!"
Teruhiko Gouju's expression darkened: "Our operations on the main battlefield are not going well. According to the frontline reports sent by Yagura, Konoha is even preparing to send Jiraiya, one of the Three Legendary Sannin, here!"
"Jiraiya?!"
Gouju Cheng frowned slightly.
The name of the Three Legendary Sannin is renowned throughout the ninja world.
Although Jiraiya may seem carefree and irresponsible, his fighting ability is definitely at the Kage level.
If he is indeed transferred to the front lines of the Kirigakure battlefield, it will undoubtedly put enormous pressure on Kirigakure.
Is the news reliable?
"The information intercepted by Yagura should be pretty accurate."
Kujira said in a deep voice, "Although Konoha is fighting on four fronts, Kumogakure is currently weak and not a threat. The Yellow Flash has returned to the Iwagakure battlefield, and Orochimaru is in Sunagakure. Given the current situation, Konoha's higher-ups clearly believe that we are a greater or weaker threat, so they are preparing to transfer Jiraiya, their pillar of strength, from the Iwagakure battlefield in an attempt to crush our frontal offensive in one fell swoop."
"Therefore, your 'Mist Blade' project is of even greater significance."
"If we can successfully create enough chaos behind enemy lines, disrupt their logistics, or even assassinate key figures, it may disrupt Konoha's plans, force them to disperse their forces to defend, thereby reducing the pressure on the front lines and even creating openings."
"In other words, the deeper and harder you stab with your 'sharp knife,' the less pressure Yagura and his team will face on the front lines, and they might even be able to turn the tide and win!"
"Therefore, although this is a dangerous mission, it is also an opportunity to achieve unparalleled merit. If you succeed, your name, Makoto Karatachi, will resound throughout Kirigakure, and even the entire ninja world. Your status in the village will be unshakeable, and the Karatachi clan will rise to even greater heights!"
After a moment of silence, Gouju Cheng knew that after the battle on Water Blue Island, he could no longer hide his life as a playboy.
In addition, once this task came up, he had no choice but to take it.
The clan's message was simple: if they were going to take on the mission, they should do it thoroughly and complete it in the most dazzling way possible!
"So, the tribe's intention is to fully support me, not only to have me complete the mission, but also to give me this opportunity to truly establish my own banner in the village and on the battlefield?"
"good."
Teruyuki nodded: "Yagura is in the light, and he is our future Mizukage. You are in the shadows, and you can be our sharpest blade."
"The Hidden Mist Village is far more complex than it appears on the surface. The Mizukage, the Daimyo, and the various clans are engaged in open and covert struggles, and there is a rift between the pro-war and conservative factions... This war is both a crisis and an opportunity for our Karatachi clan to completely establish itself and even go further."
"And you, Acheng, are indispensable to our future competition!"
