Chapter 266: Loess's Mission

Shortly after Bai Ye and Xiao Nan left, Huang Tu led the Iwagakure Anbu to arrive outside the training ground.

When he was more than ten kilometers away, he heard the explosions one after another and saw the extremely dazzling Dust Escape beam, and began to worry about the old man's health.

Although the old man is one of the most powerful ninjas in the ninja world.

But he is old after all, and his energy and reaction ability are not as good as before. If he is attacked by the entire dark forces of another country, he will be in danger of death.

Along the way, Huangtu saw the devastated land and the deep pits created by Chendun.

The ominous premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger, and I was afraid that something might happen to my grandfather.

After walking into the large training ground and seeing his grandfather standing with Deidara, Huang Tu felt relieved.

It must be the old man teaching Deidara a lesson for the escaped one.

But isn't it too much to use a powerful weapon like Dust Escape to teach a child a lesson? It could easily result in someone's death.

Although Huang Tu grumbled in his heart, he did not dare to speak up to stop his father.

Since he was a child, he has been accustomed to having a strong father and everything being arranged by his father Ohnoki. He only needs to develop step by step, and that is enough.

Ohnoki noticed Huang Tu and others not far away, and said to Deidara: "I will put you in confinement after we return this time, but I will not allow you to go out again until you have the ability to protect yourself."

Deidara nodded, then rode the clay bird back to the Iwagakure Village.

After Deidara left, Huang Tu came to Ohnoki and said, "Third-sama, were you sparring with Deidara just now? Half the village heard the noise here."

Ohnoki shook his head and said with sharp eyes:
"I didn't spar with Deidara. I just met a powerful ninja outside the village. I fought with that ninja, but unfortunately there was no winner."

"A ninja who is on par with the Third-Kage?" Huang Tu's eyes were filled with shock.

As an elite jonin, he is well aware of the strength of his father Ōnoki. There are many ninjas in the ninja world who possess the so-called Kage-level strength, but none of them is a match for his father.

And today, an enemy as powerful as my father appeared outside the Iwagakure Village.

"There are many powerful ninjas in the ninja world. We must never take it lightly."

After a pause, Ohnoki continued, "By the way, I have two tasks for you. Send someone to do them tomorrow morning."

"Sandaime-sama, please speak."

When working, Huang Tu prefers to address his father by his title and dares not do anything beyond the limit.

Ohnoki looked at his honest son, sighed softly and said:
"The first is to investigate the Land of Rain and see the strength of the Hidden Rain Village and the Akatsuki organization. The second is to investigate the Uchiha clan of Konoha and see the extent of the conflict between them and the top leaders of Konoha."

Huang Tu nodded in agreement, then followed Ohnoki respectfully, and the group returned to the Iwagakure Village.

……

On the other side, Xiaonan came to Bai Ye.

She was quite confused when she saw Bai Ye and Ohnoki standing side by side just now, so she asked, "Bai Ye, what happened to you? Why is the Third Tsuchikage staying with you?"

Bai Ye said calmly:
"We just had a fight with the Tsuchikage. Neither of us could do anything to the other, so we had to shake hands and make peace. Ohnoki didn't want to offend a strong man like us."

Konan was silent for a few seconds, and seemed to be at a loss for words. It was fine that Bai Ye had fought a tie with the Fourth Raikage some time ago, but now he had fought a tie with the Third Tsuchikage. It seemed that Bai Ye had really grown into a top ninja.

If this were not the case, Bai Ye would not dare to provoke the Iwagakure Village.

As for Bai Ye's claim that she also possessed the strength of the Five Kage, she herself didn't believe it.

She is still a long way from being as powerful as the Five Kage.

At this time, Bai Ye said mysteriously: "Of course, in addition to fighting with Ohnoki, Ohnoki and I also discussed the cooperation between the two villages."

Konan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Did the Third Tsuchikage agree to cooperate?"

Bai Ye shook his head slightly: "Oonoki neither agreed to me nor refused me. If I don't offer enough benefits, it will be difficult to impress this old senior in the ninja world."

Xiaonan also agreed with Bai Ye's words.

Cooperation between ninjas is based on the premise that both sides have equal strength, but even if the strength is equal, it is difficult to satisfy both sides, let alone cooperate.

At this moment, Xiaonan suddenly remembered something and asked Baiye, "Baiye, where are we going next? We are not going to take a long detour again."

Bai Ye looked a little embarrassed, unable to refute Xiaonan, so he could only comfort her: "We won't take a long detour this time. After we arrange for Kabuto and Nono, we will return to the village immediately."

After leaving the Iwagakure training ground, Byakuya and Konan found Kabuto and Nono in a hidden cave.

At this time, Kabuto and Nono were discussing the situation outside, discussing whether they should go over to help Bai Ye and Xiao Nan. If they didn't help, it would be a torment to continue staying here.

But with their strength, if they go out, they will become a burden.

After hearing the conversation between Kabuto and Nono, Bai Ye raised a smile. He thought that all these years of training Kabuto Yakushi were not in vain. His importance in Kabuto Yakushi's heart might have surpassed that of Orochimaru in the original time and space.

But unlike Orochimaru, the poisonous snake, he would not die so easily, and he had no intention of cutting out his soul.

Although the method of cutting the soul and scattering it across the ninja world can enhance the ability to survive, one's own strength will also be greatly reduced due to the division of the soul.

The reason is very simple. Chakra is the product of the aggregation of physical energy and spiritual ability.

Without a soul, no matter how strong the body is, it will be flawed. This is why even though they have mastered so many cloning technologies, they still use unconventional powers to deal with the enemies.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye walked into the cave and deliberately made obvious noises.

Kabuto and Nono turned around alertly, and when they saw that the person coming was Bai Ye, they breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Master Bai Ye, Master Konan, I'm glad you're all right."

Bai Ye snorted, then said, "The Hidden Rock Village can't do anything to Konan and me. After we had a friendly exchange with the Third Tsuchikage, he took the initiative to let us go."

Kabuto and Nono were already accustomed to Byakuya's abilities and were not too surprised.

In their opinion, Bai Ye should have such strength.

After a brief pause, Bai Ye looked at Kabuto and Nono and asked slowly, "Continuing with the previous question, will Dean Nono return to Konoha, wander in the ninja world, or join the Akatsuki organization?"

Nono, who had already made up his mind, said without hesitation: "Master Bai Ye, I am willing to join the Hidden Rain Village and become a member of the Akatsuki organization."
