Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 67 Uchiha Madara's decision! The real crisis!
"I can feel it." Orochimaru continued, "You look at us like gods high above, just like demons look at humans, and just like humans look at monkeys."

Without waiting for Luo Fu to speak, Orochimaru said directly: "Don't deny it, because compared to your explanation and rebuttal, I trust my own judgment more. This is the experience I gained after struggling on the brink of life and death countless times."

Seeing that Luo Fu fell silent, Orochimaru said: "I don't know what exactly caused you to have such an interesting mentality, but I hope that you can come back alive after this mission. If you come back alive, perhaps you will become my companion and witness with me the power that truly belongs to gods and demons."

Luofu sneered in his heart at Orochimaru's words.

Although Orochimaru is a rare person in the ninja world who pursues science, the ninja world itself is a place where science is not practiced.

As for Orochimaru, the eternal life he dreams of is like a mirage, out of reach.

He even developed a technique for reincarnation of the soul, and each time he reincarnated, the soul would become weaker and weaker.

From the moment he began to feel the fragility and brevity of life and began to think about pursuing eternity, Orochimaru was in fact no longer a pure human being. His mind had begun to distort itself, or to transcend.

However, Luofu has gone one step further than Orochimaru.

"Thank you for your consideration, Lord Orochimaru." Luo Fu changed the subject and said delicately, "But I'm curious, Lord Orochimaru, does what you said mean that this mission is dangerous?"

With a mysterious smile, Orochimaru said: "Whether you can come back alive from this mission means whether you are qualified to be my companion."

The moment he finished speaking, Orochimaru casually threw the task of Scorch Release Yekura to Luofu.

The moment Luo Fu saw the mission information sheet, he understood.

Although no one knows what happened in between, originally, the Sand Village could not hold on any longer, and in order to seek peace, it had to sacrifice its own hero and give him to the Mist Village to be killed in order to end the war between them.

But this time, Konoha obviously had a hand.

If he guessed correctly, the real problem to be solved in this mission was not only Ye Cang, but also himself.

Let the Water Kingdom intercept and kill Ye Cang on the route he must pass. No matter who wins or loses between him and Ye Cang, they will probably have to endure the siege of the Hidden Mist Village next.

During the war, Ye Cang's massacre of people from the Hidden Mist Village made the people of the Hidden Mist Village hate him to the core, but wasn't Luofu the same?

Not to mention other things, just the fact that he had just returned from the shared space and accidentally discovered the plan of the Hidden Mist Village to raid the Konoha Ninja Army's base was enough to make Luofu a thorn in the side of the Hidden Mist Village.

You know, that raid mission involved bloodline limit ninjas from the Mizunotsuki clan, the Kizuna clan, the Kaguya clan, etc.

In any ninja village, the existence of a bloodline limit ninja means that there is enormous power behind him.

Luofu caused the mission of the Hidden Mist Village to fail, and the ninjas of the Mizunotsuki clan, the Kizuna clan, and the Kaguya clan were all wiped out.

This also means that once the whole process is known by the Hidden Mist Village, he will probably reach the same level as Ye Cang in one leap, and be hated by the Hidden Mist Village.

Luo Fu said nothing after reading the intelligence sheet of the mission.

Orochimaru asked with interest: "Why, Luofu-kun, don't you have the confidence to complete this mission?"

Shaking his head, Luo Fu said, "I suddenly have a bold idea."

His eyes lit up, and Orochimaru said with interest: "I am very interested in listening to your bold idea."

"If I can persuade Ye Cang to rebel, or even get her to return to Konoha with me, would that be considered completing this mission?"

Orochimaru was stunned.

Looking at Luo Fu in surprise for a while, Orochimaru said, "Your idea is really shocking. At least I have never thought that there is such a way to complete the task. However, I can tell you that your idea is impossible!"

"why?"

"No reason." Orochimaru said dimly; "A ninja from another ninja village cannot be accepted by the village."

"I understand." Luo Fu nodded and said, "This mission is very tight. In order to complete the mission smoothly, Lord Orochimaru, I will take my leave first."

"Go ahead. I look forward to seeing Mr. Luofu again."

After watching Luofu leave, Orochimaru quickly began to ponder again about how to deal with the strategic issues of the Iwagakure Village next.

Although he was indeed curious about Luofu, a guy who did not treat his companions in Konoha, the villagers in the village, and even the humans in the ninja world as his own kind.

But first of all, Luo Fu can survive this mission.

As a person who not only remains in Konoha but also has the potential to become the fourth Hokage, Orochimaru is quite familiar with the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.

The moment he saw this mission, Orochimaru had clearly determined that this was a purge of the village against its own ninjas, or in other words, a trap.

It was certainly surprising that Luo Fu suddenly mastered powerful swordsmanship, but Orochimaru was not optimistic about whether he could escape from this trap.

What I said to Luofu before was just a casual move.

Whether this chess piece will be useful in the future depends on whether Luofu can survive this mission.

Sand Hidden Village.

When Luofu received the mission and started to head towards the Hidden Mist Village.

In the Sand Village, Yekura, who was preparing to leave with the Scorch Release technique, also received a notification of an urgent change in his mission.

"Lord Chiyo, isn't the mission to negotiate peace with the Hidden Mist Village? Why is it to kill people from Konoha?" After seeing that his mission had changed from a simple peace envoy to killing Luofu, a Konoha man, Shoton Yekura immediately asked in confusion.

"We just got the news as well." Grandma Chiyo sighed and said, "Although this Star Fang Uchiha Rafu rose very quickly, the damage he caused to the Hidden Mist Village was too great, and even forced the Hidden Mist Village to shrink its strength and choose to negotiate with Konoha. For the sake of the Hidden Sand Village and the Kingdom of Wind, we must disrupt the peace talks between the Hidden Mist Village and Konoha. Only if they continue to fight, our Hidden Sand Village will have a hope of winning. Therefore, this mission can only be handed over to you, Ye Cang."

He was morally blackmailed by Granny Chiyo in the name of the Sand Village.

Instead of having any aversion or vigilance towards the Burning Release, Ye Cang only had an extremely pure and strong sense of honor.

After Ye Cang accepted the new mission with high morale and set off.

Granny Chiyo stood at the exit of the Sand Village with a guilty look on her face, looking in the distance in the direction where Yekura had left, whose shadow had completely disappeared, and she was reluctant to move.

"Sister, all this is for the village." Ebizo said in a heavy tone: "Our Sand Village is too poor. Sacrificing Ye Cang is also a helpless thing!"

"Alas..." Granny Chiyo sighed and said, "Yes, for the sake of the village, there is nothing we can do. But Ye Cang is the hero of the village, but for the sake of the village, we have to sacrifice her now!"

"We in the Sand Village did nothing wrong." Ebizo's tone quickly became firm, and he said, "A new swordsmanship expert has just emerged in Konoha. In fact, according to the intelligence we have personally gathered, this Uchiha Rafu, without relying on his bloodline limit, has swordsmanship that is not inferior to that of Konoha's White Fang. No matter what, Konoha cannot have another White Fang. This time, Konoha also has the same idea. The strongest ninja village is still like this. If it were our Sand Village, we would never do this with the same conditions as Konoha."

Ebizo's comfort immediately reduced Grandma Chiyo's guilt.

The truth is, as the strongest ninja village in the ninja world, even Konoha has such a character. It is afraid of the strong in its own village and even joins forces with outsiders to secretly kill the rising stars in its own village.

By doing so, the elders of the Sand Village felt much less guilty for betraying Ye Cang for the sake of the village.

After all, they are different from Konoha. They really have no choice. The Sand Village itself is the weakest among the five major ninja villages.

It happened that during the Third Ninja World War, the Third Kazekage suddenly disappeared and the news leaked. In order to avoid being struck first by others, the Sand Village originally wanted to catch other ninja villages off guard.

But who would have thought that the movement of the Sand Village would be like pushing down a domino effect. Under the chain reaction, the long and vigorous Third Ninja World War broke out completely.

The Sand Village, as the instigator, is the weakest. The war has continued until now. While other ninja villages are fighting fiercely, they can't hold on. If the war continues, there is no need for the enemy to invade. The internal problems alone are enough to cause the Sand Village to collapse on its own.

Although it does sound a bit high-sounding to say this, we have to admit that the elders of the Sand Village, Chiyo, Ebizo, and now the strong candidate for the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, made the decision to sacrifice the Scorch Release Hagura out of helplessness.

Although Ye Cang became a hero of the Sand Village with her Burning Release blood-stain technique, she was not a qualified Kazekage. As a female ninja, Ye Cang had nothing but recklessness in her mind.

It was bad enough that Rasa became the Kazekage, but if Ye Cang became the Kazekage, the consequences would be even more dire.

The Water Country is an isolated country overseas and does not border any other major countries.

The location of the Hidden Mist Village is covered with fog all year round and there is abundant water vapor. It is extremely suitable for the use of water-based ninjutsu, but it also has a serious negative impact on the use of other ninjutsu such as lightning-based ninjutsu, earth-based ninjutsu, fire-based ninjutsu, and wind-based ninjutsu.

Follow the instructions on the mission information sheet.

After Luo Fu arrived at the foggy valley, he felt in just a moment that deep in this narrow valley, there were already hundreds of ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village lying in ambush.

As if he didn't sense the existence of an ambush, Luo Fu arrived at the depths of the canyon and began to wait with great interest for the arrival of the Sand Village Burning Release Ye Cang. At this time.

Thousands of miles away in the Land of Grass, underground not far from the Kannobi Bridge.

White Zetsu Afei came to Uchiha Madara with great interest and said, "Master Madara, Master Madara, guess what information I have found out?"

After glancing at White Zetsu and Afei, Uchiha Madara was too lazy to speak.

As expected, soon, Bai Zetsu Afei couldn't help himself and took the initiative to say: "Master Madara, the Uchiha junior you asked me to observe is almost dead."

This time, Uchiha Madara seemed a little curious. He looked at A Fei and said, "What's going on? Although this junior gave up the Uchiha's strongest bloodline limit, the Sharingan, he shouldn't have died so quickly just based on his powerful swordsmanship."

"Yeah." White Zetsu nodded and said, "Master Madara is right, but the one who caused the death of this Uchiha junior this time was not the enemy, but the Konoha Village."

After a brief pause, Uchiha Madara quickly reacted, sneered, and said, "I had already noticed the darkness of the village a long time ago, and now, as expected, the village has become what I worried about. Hashirama, although I did lose in the battle between you and me, the facts prove that I was right. The ninja village system cannot change this hopeless world."

"Master Madara is right." White Zetsu Afei didn't know if he really understood what Uchiha Madara said. He changed the subject and said, "Master Madara, don't you want to see if this Uchiha junior can survive this trap?"

After hesitating for a moment, White Zetsu Afei's words seemed to really arouse Uchiha Madara's interest.

"Even if he gave up the development of his bloodline limit, this child is still an outstanding descendant of the Uchiha clan." Uchiha Madara said, "A Fei, you go there in person. If this child can awaken those eyes in desperate situations, bring him back."

After a slight pause, Uchiha Madara continued: "Even if he has not awakened those eyes, if he can survive, bring him to me anyway."

"Lord Madara, will you choose this Luofu?" Bai Zetsu A Fei asked curiously.

"No! Whether in terms of age or bloodline limit, he is no longer suitable. My choice is still that kid Obito, but this kid can give me an extra layer of insurance outside of my plan. Moreover, his talent cannot even open the Mangekyō, so it is even more impossible for him to affect my plan."

Uchiha Madara said confidently.

"I understand. Lord Madara, I'll go watch the fun now." The moment the words fell, White Zetsu Afei's figure instantly sank into the ground.

Ever since he saw the tampered inscription on the stone tablet in the basement of Nanga Shrine at the Uchiha headquarters, Uchiha Madara firmly believed that only by performing the Infinite Tsukuyomi ninjutsu could he save this extremely miserable ninja world.

The power of the Sharingan and the Senju clan is the source and end of everything.

As an Uchiha, he pursued swordsmanship and gave up the most powerful bloodline limit. In Uchiha Madara's view, this was simply buying the casket and returning the pearl!
From the moment Uchiha Rofu displayed his powerful swordsmanship but seemed to have given up the Sharingan, in Uchiha Madara's eyes, he completely lost his value as his tool.

After all, no one knows better than Uchiha Madara, who evolved the Sharingan all the way to the Rinnegan, the incredible potential of the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit.

Of course, although he disdained Luofu's choice, he also recognized Luofu's strength.

Ever since he noticed the existence of Luofu, Uchiha Madara specifically asked White Zetsu to investigate the situation of Luofu.

There is no doubt about White Zetsu's ability. Maybe in actual combat, White Zetsu's ability is not very good. But in terms of eavesdropping and gathering information, White Zetsu's hiding method is that even the perceptive ninja cannot discover his identity.

It was precisely relying on this special ability that White Zetsu was able to investigate all the information about Luofu in Konoha without any hindrance.

With the help of White Zetsu's ability, Uchiha Madara is probably the person who knows Luofu best in the entire ninja world right now.

But unfortunately, the information that White Zetsu found out was ultimately the situation of Uchiha Luofu before he entered the shared space. After entering the space and sharing the abilities of Demon Slayer Luofu and Inhuman Luofu, Uchiha Luofu had been completely transformed.

However, this is information that even White Zetsu could not find out.

Just as Orochimaru felt, after the rapid growth in strength, the character of Luofu, a member of the Uchiha clan whose personality is extremely easily distorted, has completely changed.

Although it may not be as Orochimaru said, treating other people as if they were gods and demons, it is still far from the values ​​and cognition of normal people.

In the Land of Water, in the canyon leading to the Hidden Mist Village.

In the thick fog, a tall figure, wearing an alluring backless dress, came into the canyon slowly but quickly.

Although his steps were fast, his open-toed ninja shoes made no sound when he stepped on the ground. Even his own chakra fluctuations were blocked and made extremely low-key.

But even so, when Ye Cang arrived at the valley, Luo Fu still clearly noticed her arrival.

He glanced meaningfully at the Mist Village ninjas hiding on the left and right sides of the canyon.

Luo Fu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked towards Ye Cang.

As the two of them approached, soon, the moment Luofu stepped into Ye Cang's perception range, Ye Cang paused.

Subconsciously refining chakra, he looked towards Luo Fu warily.

Luo Fu did not hide himself, and continued to walk towards Ye Cang, saying: "Scorch Escape Ye Cang! You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Konoha, Starlight Fang, Uchiha Rafu." Ye Cang's heart tightened.

Even though he had no political wisdom except for his strength, Ye Cang was not a fool after all. When he found out that the target of his mission had been waiting for him for a long time,

Ye Cang noticed something was wrong at the first moment.

"You knew I was coming??"

"You and I are the same. Aren't you planning to ambush me here?" Luo Fu smiled slightly. When he stepped into each other's visual range, but not breaking Ye Cang's inner alert range, Luo Fu stopped.

A flash of inspiration came to her mind, and a guess that made Ye Cang a little unbelievable came into her mind.

With a bitter smile, Ye Cang said: "It seems that you and I have been abandoned by our respective villages."

"The weak who huddle together for warmth always hope to be accepted by the group, but the existence of the group may not be a form of domestication for the strong individuals. You know, only cattle and sheep as prey will travel in groups, while beasts as hunters always walk alone."

There was no trace of resentment towards the village in Luo Fu's tone, as if Konoha, the most powerful village in the ninja world, was completely unimportant in his eyes.

"Are you going to give up the mission and betray Konoha?" Ye Cang's eyes narrowed.

Luo Fu looked at Ye Cang in surprise and said, "Now that things have come to this, you don't think that the Sand Village will still accept you, right? From the moment you accepted this mission, you no longer have any other choice. Either die and gain the false reputation of a Sand Ninja hero, or escape and become a traitor to the Sand Village from now on."

"What about you?" Perhaps because Luo Fu had always belittled him, a blazing orange light flashed in Ye Cang's eyes, and he said, "You, the Star Fang who suddenly appeared and was even regarded by many as the second White Fang of Konoha, are probably not much better than me."

"Then do you want to join me?" Luo Fu stretched out a hand towards Ye Cang with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Although Ye Cang was confused, he still did not let down his guard.

Even though the two were in the same situation, they were still at war with each other because they were separated by ninja villages.

Based on just a few words, it was impossible for Ye Cang to have any trust in Luo Fu.

"This world is destined to be dominated by the strong. The weak have no room to make a comment. Those who have great power are strong, and being in a high position is also a kind of strength. Follow me, and I will let you see that in front of truly powerful forces, the so-called collective, the so-called ninja village, and the so-called shadows of each village are nothing more than ants that can be crushed to death at will!"

Ye Cang was indeed a little stunned.

You know, the White Fang of Konoha, who was more famous than Luofu at that time, ended up committing suicide.

Although Luofu is from the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha, a famous family with a history of thousands of years, does not have the power to compete with an entire ninja village.

Especially Luofu himself, relying solely on his seemingly powerful swordsmanship, let alone fighting against an entire ninja village, I'm afraid even some small ninja villages would be able to take his life if they were willing to pay the price.

Where on earth did a ninja who was abandoned by the village get the courage to say such words to himself? Even the first Kazekage could not do such a thing.

In the hearts of the old monsters in the major ninja villages, they still remember how the God of Ninja and the Shura of the Ninja World relied on the cooperation with each other to establish the current situation of the Ninja World with just two people.

Even the tailed beasts that were regarded as strategic weapons by each village were captured one by one by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha and then distributed to the major ninja villages.

Unfortunately, what humans are best at is forgetting. No matter strong or weak, good or evil, as time goes by, those once strong people will eventually be buried in the torrent of history.

The current Konoha even openly declares that the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, is the strongest Hokage in history.

Konoha is still trying its best to wipe out the power of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Uchiha Madara, not to mention other ninja villages.

After all, in the eyes of other ninja villages, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama are both their enemies. Who would be so stupid as to specifically publicize the strength of their enemies?
