Konoha's Clow Magician

In the ninja world, compared to Sharingan, Wooden ninjas are rarer existences, and are naturally more attractive to Danzo.

After all, after experiencing many great ninja wars, Danzo really doesn’t even have a pair of usable Sharingan in his hands?

Hideki Senju remained skeptical.

Referring to Kakashi's condition, the reason why Danzo did not have a transplant was probably because he was old and frail and his body could not afford the Sharingan.

This is why the other party cooperated with Orochimaru to study the first-generation cells that can rejuvenate ninjas.

But as of now, the success rate of the first-generation cell transplantation is too low. The only 'lucky one' Yamato has been taken away again, and Danzo's cell experiment is likely to fall into a bottleneck again.

As for the 'Tree Release' cell sample that Kabuto helped take away before, Senju Hideki maintained a 'hehe' attitude towards it.

In this case, the wild Wood Release master is simply Danzo's hope to return to his youthful vitality and compete for the position of Hokage, and it is impossible for the other party to ignore him.

Thinking of this, Senju Hideki concealed some details and told Shisui his idea of ​​seducing Danzo's attention.

Hearing that his senior was about to use his body as bait, Shisui felt a little embarrassed and moved. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly bowed and said, "Please, senior."

Senju Hideki patted the other party's shoulder and said with a smile: "This is all for the village, not to mention that for me, this is not a big deal, it is just spending a period of time to show my face, but it is you, Uchiha The radical faction within the clan still needs you to stop them."

Zhisui said firmly: "Senior, please don't worry."

……

Rain Ninja Village, inside the steeple.

A twisted vortex appeared out of thin air, and then, a man in a tiger mask wearing a windbreaker embroidered with red clouds walked out of the vortex.

On one side of the room, a man with short orange hair said indifferently: "Madara? So you didn't die in Kirigakure Village?"

Hearing this unceremonious greeting, the masked man chuckled and said, "How mean, Nagato."

"Call me Payne!" Payne said coldly with an expressionless face: "You have no shame at all for throwing away the three tails you captured."

"Does it matter?" The masked man did not pay attention to the other party's accusation, but said: "Almost half of the ninjas in Kirigakure Village were destroyed under my manipulation, and the price was only a tailed beast that could be captured at any time. Isn’t it cost-effective? Anyway, there is no way for the Heretic Golem to absorb the tailed beast immediately.”

After hearing this, Pain's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became much darker, as if he was recalling the pain of supplying his chakra to the heretic demon.

"Moreover, the funds have been delivered back exactly, and there is only an empty shell left in Kirigakure Village." The masked man chuckled again and asked: "How, with the sponsorship of Kirigakure Village, Have you established your ninja mercenary group?"

Payne remained silent, while a trace of ridicule flashed in the masked man's eyes.

It is not easy to seize the commission from the five major ninja villages. Even if the funds are sufficient, the strength of the ninjas under his command will not be improved in a short time. There are not as many capable rebellious ninjas in the ninja world as imagined.

Moreover, it is difficult for ninja villages in small countries to survive. The biggest reason is the lack of trust in them by various countries. Even if the price is slightly higher, merchants will prefer ninja villages from the five major countries.

Especially in the nearly three years since the end of the Third Ninja War, all countries have entered a period of peaceful development, commercial agriculture has prospered, and businessmen who are not short of funds are more willing to issue commissions in the Ninja Villages of the five major countries.

Pain's so-called plan to replace the five major ninja villages can only be realized by annihilating each other through war. But with such a level of strength, is it necessary to do such unnecessary things?

As if feeling the masked man's contempt, Payne glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice: "Do you have any idea?"

No matter what the other party thinks, but in the eyes of Nagato... no, Pain, a unified ninja mercenary group that can replace the five major ninja villages is the way to bring peace to the ninja world.

It can also be regarded as an attempt before the heretic golem can seal and absorb the tailed beast.

The masked man didn't show off, and said slowly: "After many inquiries, I discovered that there is an alien monster in the Kingdom of Ghosts whose chakra content is not inferior to that of the tailed beast. Its name is a sprite."

"Not inferior to tailed beasts?" A trace of disdain flashed in Pain's eyes: "Real tailed beasts are just playthings to me."

"Don't underestimate the opponent." The masked man also had a trace of disdain on his lips, as if he was mocking the opponent's arrogance, "Although the sprite is not as powerful as the tailed beast, the opponent has an ability that even the tailed beast cannot match. That’s controlling the puppet.”

Payne frowned, "Puppet?"

The masked man smiled and said: "That's right, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of puppet armies, they call them the 'ghost army'"

A flash of surprise flashed in Payne's eyes, but he quickly restrained himself and asked: "How powerful a ninja can a so-called puppet be?"

"Unfortunately, in addition to being rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and large in number, they also have the disadvantage of being slow and unable to even hunt down genin."

At this point, the masked man's voice became sinister, "However, there is no need for them to pursue ninjas. They just target civilians, collapse their buildings, destroy their food, and collapse their living order. Naturally, there will be hired ninjas who will take the initiative to fight against them."

Hearing this, Payne fell into silence.

"Are you pitying them?" The masked man said bewilderedly: "Don't worry, the 'ghost army' does not move very fast and will not harm their lives. It just uses them as bait to consume the ninjas in the village and degrade these civilians. Their assets make them unable to hire ninjas from the great country’s ninja village. Isn’t this in line with your wishes?”

Payne said nothing, with a faint struggle in his eyes.

The masked man's plan can be said to be very insidious.

Perhaps the 'Ghost Legion' will not harm civilians, but if the food is destroyed, a large-scale famine will inevitably break out. Even if the big names of the five major countries are willing to provide relief, there will not be a few civilians who will starve to death.

Even though in Pain's mind, necessary sacrifices were inevitable in order to achieve peace in the ninja world, he still couldn't help but feel his scalp numb when he thought of the scene of starvation.

As if sensing the other party's concerns, the masked man smiled and said: "Don't take it too seriously, this is bound to happen. After all, the ninja who controls the monsters is a fool who wants to conquer the world. But without our help, the other party will probably soon They will be eliminated by the strong men sent by the five major ninja villages, which will not have much effect on your ninja mercenary group plan."

Payne was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "How to contact the other party."

The masked man's mouth curled up slightly, he took out a piece of prepared information from the whirlpool that appeared out of thin air, and said with a low smile: "His name is Huang Quan."
