The man standing at the top of the ninja world

In the dark and deep underground, in a space created by humans.

The heretic demon statue, which is tens of meters tall and has an unusually ferocious appearance, stands quietly on the ground, with all nine eyes closed, like a finely carved statue.

Countless branches extended from it, one of which stretched directly in front of the demon statue, and the top fell to the ground, like a tree stump. An old man with white hair and a huge scythe sat on it, it was Uchiha Madara.

A few meters away in front of Uchiha Madara, a constantly changing scene appeared in the air.

This is a video. There are two people in it, both boys. One looks about ten years old, has red hair, and wears a pair of sunglasses, while the other has light yellow hair and looks older and better than the first one. How old.

The first person is Nagato, and the second person is Yozuki Ai. What this video plays is the decisive battle between the two of them in the Chunin Exam.

Standing next to Uchiha Madara was a White Zetsu, his name was No. [-], and he recorded this video himself and brought it back.

Bai Zetsu himself has the ability to record influences. In the original Naruto novel, one of the members of the Akatsuki organization has killed his teammates many times. One of the times he stabbed his teammates in the back was secretly recorded by Bai Zetsu, and it was recorded in When the Akatsuki organization held a meeting, it was played for other members to watch.

This time, the Chunin Exam held in Konoha was unprecedentedly grand, affecting the entire Ninja world. All Ninja villages participated. In order to understand the latest situation of Nagato, Uchiha Madara assigned Bai Zetsu to kill a Kirigakure villager who went to watch the battle. Ninja, and then asked No. [-] White Zetsu to use the art of disguise to replace the identity of this ninja. He followed the team of Mist Ninja into Konoha to watch the third official match of the Chunin Examination, and watched Nagato's match from beginning to end. Recorded.

At other times, Uchiha Madara would not have dared to do this. Although no one could see through Bai Zetsu's disguise, Uzumaki Mito's sense of good and evil could directly sense the malice in Bai Zetsu's heart, and Bai Zetsu himself His fighting ability is low, not even as good as a Chunin. Once discovered, there will be no possibility of escape.

And if Bai Zetsu was captured in Konoha, then even Uchiha Madara himself would be at risk of being exposed, a consequence he absolutely could not afford.

But this time is different. This Chunin Exam is a grand event that affects the entire ninja world. People from all over the world will go to watch the battle. Although these external spectators maintain friendship with each other on the surface, in fact, they are eager to fight against the ninja village. Ninja go to hell, just like Murasaki and Chiyo were sarcastic to each other, if the Third Hokage hadn't suppressed them, the two would have fought on the spot.

Among the outside audience, there are many ninjas who have ill intentions towards Konoha. Even if Uzumaki Mito senses the ill will, it is impossible to arrest everyone who has ill intentions towards Konoha, so Bai Zetsu's presence among them will not cause any problems at all. Notice.

Uchiha Madara looked focused and stared at the screen. A few minutes later, the video finished playing, and the screen was frozen at the moment when Hatake Sakumo announced that Nagato was the champion.

"Huh." He breathed out a long breath, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"From the beginning against the little girl from the Hoshi Ninja Village to the final defeat of the Kumo Ninja to win the championship, this kid Nagato only used the two pupil techniques of the Samsara Eye, Shinra Tensei and Wanxian Tianyin, from the beginning to the end. He only mastered Even though I have mastered these two pupil techniques, I still have more pupil techniques, but I haven’t used them yet.”

The Third Hokage and several advisors did not understand the reincarnation eyes, so they believed as much as Nagato told them. But Uchiha Madara was different. He was the original owner of the reincarnation eyes and knew the ability of the reincarnation eyes better than anyone else. Since Nagato has mastered the ability of the Heavenly Path, so the abilities of the other five paths should not be difficult for Nagato.

Uchiha Madara supported his body with a huge scythe, stood up slowly, and paced back and forth in the limited space.

He had to admit that Nagato's growth rate had exceeded his expectations. It only took more than three years to grow from an ordinary person to a level that could defeat Jonin. This was something he and Senju Hashirama did. His speed was incomparable, and this might not be all of Nagato's combat power. He was almost certain that the other party also mastered a variety of other Rinnegan eye techniques.

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Madara came to the conclusion that if Nagato could continue to progress at this speed, it would only take ten years at most before he should be able to possess the power to release the natural technique of reincarnation.

Uchiha Madara involuntarily clenched the giant scythe, his eyes revealed a hint of urgency and intelligence. If he wanted Nagato to use the reincarnation technique to resurrect him as planned, he would need more information about Nagato. Now this Points are not enough

He turned to look at Bai Zetsu, No. [-], who was standing aside, and said, "Aside from this battle video, did No. [-] and No. [-] tell you any other information about Nagato?"

Three years ago, after Nagato was brought back to Konoha by the Sannin, Uchiha Madara no longer allowed White Zetsu to monitor Nagato. With Uzumaki Mito here, except for special circumstances such as the Chunin Exam, he would not He dared to let Bai Zetsu step into Konoha, but it would be different if Nagato left Konoha, and he would have no scruples.

Since Nagato began to go out on missions more than half a year ago, Uchiha Madara has re-sent No. [-] White Zetsu and No. [-] White Zetsu to lurk around Nagato. When Nagato goes out to perform missions, they will monitor Nagato. After Nagato returned to Konoha, they stayed outside Konoha waiting for Nagato to go out next time.

Uchiha Madara once guessed that after Nagato entered Konoha, because he was a member of the Uzumaki clan, he was likely to have some connection with Uzumaki Mito, and learned the sensory ninjutsu from Uzumaki Mito.

However, after Bai Zetsu's Mayfly Technique is activated, in addition to integrating with the earth's vegetation and moving at high speeds, it also has extremely strong concealment capabilities and is almost impossible to be detected by sensory ninjutsu. Therefore, he is very confident that even if Nagato If he really learned some sensory ninjutsu from Uzumaki Mito, he would never find any trace of White Zetsu.

But what disappointed him was that Nagato had been performing C-level missions for more than half a year. Even if he encountered enemies, they were just ordinary people and could be defeated easily. He didn't even need to use ninjutsu, and he didn't know how to do it at all. Showing his true strength, so even with White Zetsu monitoring, Uchiha Madara has never been able to get any useful information.

If he hadn't obtained this battle video this time, he would have known nothing about Nagato's current strength.

He had previously stipulated that Bai Jue No. [-] and Bai Jue No. [-] would come back to report information to him every other month. Now since neither of them came back, the information must have been told to Bai Jue No. [-].

No. [-] Bai Zetsu lowered his head and replied: "Madara-sama, when I came back, No. [-] and No. [-] told me that Nagato, Tsunade, Uzumaki Kushina, and Haruno Zhao left Konoha together and headed towards the fire. As they advance to the east of the country, they should have accepted some new mission."

"The eastern part of the Land of Fire." Uchiha Madara sat down again, his mood had returned to calm. He glanced at White Zetsu No. [-] and said, "I understand, you can continue to monitor the previous target."

He relied on many White Zetsu to obtain information about the ninja world. The mission of White Zetsu No. [-] before this video was to monitor a ninja in the Kiri Ninja Village.

"As ordered." White Zetsu No. [-] bowed slightly to Uchiha Madara, then activated the Mayfly Technique, and his body slowly sank into the ground.

......

City of Flames.

"No." The four people in the first class stood outside a tavern. Uzumaki Kushina looked at a man in the tavern through the window, shook her head in disappointment, and whispered: "This ninja is not Oshiba Yuki. "

Tsunade standing next to her nodded, then turned around, "Let's go and find the next one."

Walking on the streets of Flame City, Uzumaki Kushina and Haruno Ou had some anxiety on their faces.

An hour has passed since the four of them entered the Flame City. By sensing the effects of ninjutsu, they have found a dozen ninjas one after another, but so far they have not found any trace of Ochai Yonghui.

Although Lieyan City is just a small border town, because of its border with neighboring countries, merchants from the two countries would pass by here when doing business, which promoted the development of the city's commerce. Therefore, Lieyan City is still prosperous, with many homeless people. Ninjas or rebel ninjas will gather here.

Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina only sensed more than 20 chakra auras outside the city just now. This is because their mind's eyes have a limited range and can only detect one-fifth of the area. In other words, they must at least stay here. There are hundreds of ninjas, and the number they are looking for now is not even one-tenth.

Uzumaki Kushina and Haruno Ou were impatient. Seeing that the mission had not progressed, they became impatient.

Tsunade looked at the two of them and raised her eyebrows, "Okay, you two, don't do this anymore. You must know that hunting down traitorous ninjas is a very hard and troublesome task, and you must have enough patience. "

"Besides, compared with other pursuit teams, we are already very lucky. At least we have perception ninjutsu that can locate the ninja. Those pursuit teams who do not know the perception technique are the ones who are looking for traitorous ninjas. It’s really like finding a needle in a haystack.”

Nagato waited for Tsunade to finish speaking, looked at her, and said, "Tsunade-sensei."

"What's wrong"

"It's too slow to search one by one like this, so I think we might as well act separately."

"Act separately" Tsunade was slightly startled.

"That's right." Nagato nodded, "Both Uzumaki Kushina and I can use the eye of the mind, so we can completely separate and let Uzumaki Kushina act together with you, while I go alone to find Oshiba Yuuki. This is more efficient. It can be doubled.”

Thanks to diecide for the 1000 points reward.
