Chapter 252: Differences in Eternal Life

In Bai Ye's impression, after the end of the Fourth Ninja World War in the original time and space, the Ninja World ushered in a period of peace lasting more than ten years.

During this period, various countries in the ninja world developed various weapons based on chakra that were no less powerful than the tailed beasts.

For example, the chakra cannon of the Hidden Cloud Village and the chakra fleet of the Hidden Mist Village, these forces are full of the potential of chakra technology.

If Akatsuki wants to develop further, in addition to improving the strength of its members, it must also rely on the power of technology.

Recovering his gradually scattered thoughts, Bai Ye came to Fenghua Xiaoxue and Fenghua Nutao, glanced at Fenghua Nutao who looked as pale as death, and said to Fenghua Xiaoxue:

"We have dealt with the rebels who usurped power for you. It is time to discuss the reward for this mission."

Hearing this, Fenghua Xiaoxue felt a little uneasy and said cautiously: "Master Bai Ye, please tell me. I will do my best to meet the conditions."

Bai Ye nodded, stretched out two fingers and said:

"I'll give you two choices. One is to hand over the technical data of the chakra armor and chakra heater, and then Akatsuki and the Snow Country will be even. The second is to bring the Snow Country to join Akatsuki. Akatsuki will provide you with protection and ensure that no one in the Snow Country will cause trouble for you."

Fenghua Xiaoxue fell into deep thought and began to carefully consider the pros and cons of the two plans.

The first plan is a more equal one. As long as a copy of the chakra armor and the information of the heater is made, the Snow Country and the Akatsuki organization will be even, and they can soar freely from now on.

As for the second plan, if she agreed to it, it would mean that she would become a vassal of Akatsuki in disguise, and the Snow Country would lose its freedom and would have to live under the shadow of Akatsuki forever.

After careful consideration, Fenghua Xiaoxue said to Bai Ye: "Master Bai Ye, I choose the second plan. I am willing to lead the Snow Country to join the Akatsuki organization."

After saying this, Fenghua Xiaoxue finally felt relieved.

During the years of wandering outside, although Fenghua Xiaoxue has always been protected by Santayu, she also understands that the ninja world is a dark forest full of cruel rules.

Of course she wanted the Snow Country to be independent, but with the Snow Country's strength, it was impossible for it to be truly independent.

A powerful ninja like Fenghua Nutao can seek power and usurp the throne in a small country, but in front of Bai Ye, Fenghua Nutao's strength is not enough.

If you want to keep peace in the Snow Country for a long time, you must get the protection of Akatsuki.

Otherwise, who knows when a powerful ninja will appear from somewhere and put the Snow Country in danger.

Seeing that Fenghua Xiaoxue agreed to his conditions, Bai Ye nodded slightly and waited patiently for the system prompt.

After a few minutes passed, there was still no prompt sound from the system, which made Bai Ye feel a little confused. After a little thought, Bai Ye roughly guessed the situation.

The reason why the system did not give any rewards after Fenghua Xiaoxue joined the Akatsuki organization.

This is because Fenghua Xiaoxue is not the Daimyo of the Snow Country at the moment. The system reward will only be settled after Fenghua Xiaoxue officially becomes the Daimyo.

After Fenghua Xiaoxue agreed to join the Akatsuki organization, Bai Ye and others did not stay on the ice field for too long. After a short rest, they headed towards the capital of the Snow Country.

When the people of the Snow Country saw Fenghua Nutao imprisoned in the prison van, they were stunned.

But after seeing the figures of Fenghua Koyuki and Fengjian Santaifu, the shock of the people of the Snow Country turned into cheers. They had lived under the cruel rule of Fenghua Nutao for too long.

After arriving at the daimyo's residence, Fenghua Xiaoxue and the third lady were busy dealing with the trivial matters of ascending the throne. It would take at least a few weeks to complete the rule of the Snow Country and make Fenghua Xiaoxue the new daimyo.

During this period, Byakuya and Konan could only stay here, helping to stabilize the situation while notifying Yahiko to send someone to sign the alliance agreement.

When he was not so busy, Bai Ye began to take time out to deal with the affairs that had accumulated in Akatsuki organization in recent days. As the leader of the organization, although he was a hands-off boss most of the time, he was the only one who could coordinate the overall situation because he was familiar with the plot.

……

A small country somewhere in the ninja world.

Standing on the cliff, Orochimaru looked down at the village in the distance with a playful look in his eyes.

After investigating the black market for more than a month, Scorpion and Orochimaru finally found traces of the remnants of the Sky Ninja in a sparsely populated mountain forest.

This small village located on a hillside may seem to be just an ordinary village, but in fact it is a different world. The land beneath your feet is not really land, but a huge fortress.

The Red Sand Scorpion noticed Orochimaru's expression, frowned and said, "Orochimaru, this is the gathering place of the remnants of the Sky Ninja. It doesn't look like it."

Orochimaru smiled, then said, "I have dealt with Shennong several times, and I know who his subordinates are."

"Besides the Ninja Village, is there any other village that would gather so many ninjas?"

"Do you know Shennong?" The Scorpion of the Red Sand's face changed slightly, and he asked Orochimaru: "Since you know the whereabouts of the Sky Ninja Village, why are you wasting my time?"

Orochimaru said disapprovingly:

"The location of the Sky Ninja Village is constantly shifting. Even I don't know their exact location. Besides, it's not like we've been out for the past few days without any results. Haven't we cooperated with each other several times?"

"It's a pity that you always waste your time on puppetry. The immortality of puppetry is not real immortality. Those experimental materials can't bring out the best effect in your hands."

Hearing this, the Scorpion of the Red Sand's face suddenly turned cold: "Orochimaru, don't force me to make you a puppet. I don't want to violate the rules set by Bai Ye."

As team mates, the relationship between Scorpion and Orochimaru is very delicate.

On the one hand, when they encounter a tough enemy, the two of them are always able to join forces to fight the enemy and have dealt with many rebellious ninjas with bounties on the black market. On the other hand, they have irreconcilable differences on the methods of achieving eternal life.

Scorpion of the Red Sand believes that flesh and blood are weak, and only by sealing chakra and soul in a puppet can he achieve immortality.

Orochimaru focuses on the reincarnation of the soul, and the best container for the soul is the physical body.

"It's just a small disagreement on the way to immortality. Don't be too sensitive, Scorpion of the Red Sand."

Orochimaru did not care about Scorpion's warning, but he also did not want to cause internal strife before meeting Shennong. Shennong was not only the target of their mission this time, but Shennong also possessed several secret techniques that he desperately needed.

If we cannot obtain the technology from Shennong through negotiation.

He needs to rely on the power of the Red Sand Scorpion to forcibly take everything away from Shennong.
