After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

In the ninja world, apart from the supreme title of "Kage", what else can attract ninjas so much?

A bounty hunter walking in the black market is one.

They pursue the "evil" of human nature, advocate killing and freedom, and walk on the edge of a knife.

The elite jonin of each major ninja village also hope to make a name for themselves in the ninja world and have a name that can be recognized by other ninja villages. This is also a great recognition for a ninja.

But there is a kind of "title" whose value and popularity are far higher than those of ordinary elite jonin.

That is "No. 1 in the Ninja World"!

Located in the northern region of the Ninja World, for some unknown reason, a story about a person whose reputation as "the fastest man in the Ninja World" was broken has been circulating among the people.

This person is the current fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village - Ai!

The title of "the fastest man in the ninja world" was earned by the Fourth Raikage Ai after many twists and turns.

The first ninja to hold this title was the second Hokage of Konohagakure, Tobirama Senju, and the second successor was the fourth Raikage Ai.

But when Konoha's fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze became famous in the ninja world and the "Yellow Flash" appeared, all major ninja villages avoided his edge.

With this, the title of the Fourth Raikage Ai as "the fastest man in the ninja world" was shattered.

It was not until the death of Minato Namikaze that the title returned to the Fourth Raikage Ai.

Just this time.

After the "Taki no Taki" incident broke out, the fact that the Fourth Raikage Ai was the "fastest ninja in the ninja world" was once again shaky.

At least that's the case in the northern part of Ninja World.

Because the Abby brothers teamed up to fight against Ototake, the leader of the Sound Village, but in the end they were crushed by the opponent in terms of speed. Although no one knows how the news spread, it is an indisputable fact.

Many of the top Kumogakure leaders suspected that the rumor was able to spread because the Kumogakure ninjas who escaped from Taki no Kuni were angry that the Fourth Raikage had abandoned them, so they did it secretly.

But all this has little to do with Yinzhu.

He is currently sailing on the vast ocean on a snake. Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off and look down on the title of "the fastest man in the ninja world".

His ambition goes far beyond that.

......

In Yinzhu's opinion, in order to become the top ninja in the ninja village, in addition to possessing extraordinary strength, one must also have a broad mind and a far-sighted vision.

The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, certainly cannot be called a first-tier "Five Kage" level ninja in the entire ninja world.

But in terms of its strength, it can definitely sit firmly on the top spot in the Water Kingdom.

At least in the Hidden Mist Ninja Village, no Mist Ninja can defeat this legendary and peerless beauty.

is the day.

The sea and sky are azure blue with not a single cloud in sight.

The golden sunlight shines on the earth, the wind howls on the sea, and the air is filled with a strong fishy smell of sea water. Of course, people who live on the sea for a long time cannot smell this smell themselves.

The water python carried Yin Zhu and tirelessly entered the sphere of influence of the Water Kingdom.

And at the same time.

In the inland of the ninja world, the reputation of Sound Village is once again facing a new wave of baptism.

First break into Konoha, then defeat Kumogakure.

This made the reputation of Sound Village rise to its highest point once again, and the "unorganized" individual ninjas from all over the country were attracted and wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to join a force and settle down, looking for a stable home for themselves and their descendants.

After all, right now is the time when Sound Village is short of people.

Joining now would undoubtedly be a timely help. If you hesitate and refuse to take any risks, going late would be icing on the cake and you would not be taken seriously by the top leaders of Sound Village.

Many wandering ninjas, bounty hunters, and mercenary groups that take private jobs are experienced ninjas. They have successfully survived the intrigues time and time again, and they must be familiar with the control of people's hearts and the structure of the ninja world.

It can be said that we have a rough judgment on the future direction of the ninja world.

Facing the Sound Village that has risen in the hinterland between the three major countries of earth, fire, and thunder, the five major ninja villages with the most say.

Let's first talk about Sand Village, which is located further away in the southernmost part of the ninja world. Like Iwagakure, it turns a deaf ear to the outside world and focuses on development in order to make up for the power gap between its own village and the other four major ninja villages caused by years of defeats in wars.

As for the Kirigakure Ninja Village, they live on an island in the Endless Sea. Apart from the necessary purchases of supplies, they are basically isolated from the outside world.

In addition, before the Fifth Mizukage came to power, the village implemented cruel rule and constantly persecuted ninjas with bloodline limits, so it was known as the "Village of Blood Mist".

It was not until a few years ago that the talented girl Terumi Mei, who had double bloodline from the small ninja clan "Terumi", appeared out of nowhere and, with the strong recommendation of the "Genshi", the elder of the Hidden Mist Village, successfully took over the position of the Fifth Mizukage, changed policies, and restored people's livelihood. Only then was the Hidden Mist Village freed from civil strife.

Although after these years of development, the combat effectiveness of the Kirigakure is not as weak as it used to be, it has ultimately fallen to the last tier of the five great ninja villages, just like the Sand Village. It is impossible for them to travel thousands of miles inland to attack such a small ninja village that has the potential to rise, just for the sake of the Otogakure, which is so out of reach.

In this way, the only ninja village forces that can pose a threat to the Sound Village are the three neighboring major countries.

Although the current situation is strange, it is actually very clear upon closer inspection.

After repeated attempts, forced by, or perhaps feared by, the powerful strength of the leader of Sound Village, Kumogakure finally chose to remain in place.

Iwagakure pretended not to hear anything and did not react at all.

Only Konoha is gearing up and preparing for war, determined to avenge the death of the Third Hokage.

But if it was just the Konoha Village, whose strength had declined to the lowest point in history, would it be possible for it to destroy the powerful Sound Village?

The "individual" ninjas don't think so.

After all, even they could feel that with the absence of the older generation of ninjas, the sense of oppression that Konoha felt from the surrounding countries was becoming weaker year by year.

Therefore, the current Sound Village is undoubtedly the most eye-catching existence in the ninja world.

The vast majority of wandering ninjas don't want to wander, they just have no choice.

Although wandering is freeing, after drifting for a long time, even swallows want to build a nest for themselves, not to mention humans who are social animals.

Now, Sound Village is a very good choice and can serve as a "big tree" for these wandering ninjas to lean on and enjoy the shade.

Unlike Hanzo of the Salamander who also angered Konoha, Sand Village and Iwagakure, the young but powerful leader of Sound Village did not have the same youthful vigor as Hanzo.

Although he was tough and overbearing and had made enemies with both Konoha and Kumogakure, he did not choose to be as arrogant as Amegakure and declare war on several large ninja villages at the same time. Instead, he used one against one and divided the enemies.

Just this point alone made people's eyes light up and they thought in their hearts that this person was extraordinary.

Therefore, once the "Taki no Taki" incident fermented, the ninja world was filled with heated discussions about the Sound Village.

Seeing this, Zabuza and Kabuto, the two deputy leaders who took over the management of Otogakure and Takikuni branch, were also very sensible.

In the major cities of Taki Country alone, there are more than a dozen recruitment points for the Sound Village branch to recruit ninjas, not to mention the hometown of Field Country. Although the Sound Village only has one recruitment point, the lights are on 24 hours a day.

Compared to the other deputy leader, Dou's mind is more flexible.

Some of them wanted to secretly defeat Zabuza and show off in front of Yin Zhu.

He ordered his men to rush to set up dozens of flags and banners at various recruitment points in the Land of Rice. While it looked particularly majestic and spectacular, it also further dispelled the doubts of the ninjas who wanted to join the Sound Village.

"The Otogakure branch - Taki no Taki sincerely invites individual ninjas and samurai to join. No fees are required, no qualifications are required, and no background checks are required. Once you join, you will enjoy the same treatment as the Otogakure headquarters."

"The atmosphere in the village is survival of the fittest. No ninja clan has monopolized power. If you want to climb up, you have to rely on your own hard work and opportunities."

"For ninjas who want to fight for a future for themselves and their descendants, the Otogakure branch Taki no Waterfall recruitment point welcomes individual ninja warriors from the surrounding area to join..."

As soon as Dou said three "no need",

No matter what experiences or identities the ninjas have, it can be said that most of the concerns of those ninjas who intend to join the Sound Village have been eliminated in an instant.

Coupled with the misleading "chicken soup" that followed, once the news spread, the number of individual ninja warriors who rushed to the Land of Water Trap and wanted to join the Sound Village was even greater than that of the Land of Fields!

That's it.

A new wave of "Sound Ninja" is rapidly unfolding in the Ninja World.
