Naruto: Becoming a God by Intercepting Kamui

As soon as he finished speaking, Nagato turned around, waved his hand, and a white, soft object flew towards Konan.

Konan took the soft object that looked like plasticine and looked at Nagato: "What is this?"

"This is White Zetsu's spore clone, which can simulate other people's chakra. If we carry it on our body, the spiritual transformation technique will not be able to sense our chakra." Nagato explained.

"White Zetsu actually has this effect!" Xiaonan said in surprise, and at the same time she solemnly put away the spores in her hand.

"The role of White Zetsu is far more than that. Its ability is beyond our imagination." A smile appeared on Nagato's face. After obtaining the true inheritance of Uchiha Madara, he realized that the effect of White Zetsu was so powerful.

"It's worthy of being a creature created by the sacred tree." Xiaonan sighed.

After Nagato obtained Uchiha Madara's inheritance, he shared a lot of things about ancient times with Konan, including the origin and true face of the Outer Path Statue.

At this time, a White Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground not far from the two of them.

After the White Zetsu arrived, he looked at Nagato and said, "Nagato, we have found someone suitable to be recruited into the Akatsuki organization."

"Oh? Who is it? What's his name?" Nagato asked immediately.

Strictly speaking, Xiao now only has him as a high-end fighter. Sometimes when he wants to do something, he feels that he is unable to do it.

"That man is called Kakuzu, a bounty hunter who possesses a secret technique called Earth Grudge, which allows him to steal other people's hearts, prolong his own life, and control the chakra properties of the heart's owner." White Zetsu explained.

"Sounds like he's quite capable." Nagato nodded.

White Zetsu spread his hands and said, "Yes, he was an elite ninja of Takigakure Village. He once accepted the mission to assassinate Konoha's first Hokage, Senju Hashirama. He was able to escape from Senju Hashirama's hands, so he must have a certain strength."

"It seems that he does have some skills," Nagato nodded and asked, "Where is he?"

"It's in the underground gold exchange in the Land of Hot Springs. He has been active in that country recently." Bai Zetsu replied.

"Okay." Nagato nodded and looked at Konan, "Konan, I'll trouble you with the Rain Country. I'll be back as soon as possible."

Xiaonan didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

Konoha, Hokage's office.

After the smoke filled the air, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of the opium. He had been very sad recently.

The border of the Fire Country is becoming increasingly restless. Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Mist Village increased their infiltration efforts almost at the same time.

A large number of ninja teams secretly invaded the Land of Fire, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of atrocities in the border towns and villages.

The Daimyo of the Fire Country was furious and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen to come up with a charter as soon as possible.

If the problem still cannot be solved, then he will have to consider cutting Konoha's military spending.

For this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen even sent out Danzo.

Obviously, this situation can no longer be described as a local conflict, it is already a small-scale war.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has now sent out all the people he can.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Danzo were guarding one side respectively, but even so, there were some areas that could not be defended, so they had to send people from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans to fill in the gaps.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no intention of sending out Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Akira.

A large number of high-end combat forces of Konoha are now out, and the interior is empty. In this situation, someone has to stay and protect the Jinchūriki.

Nagato obviously hates Konoha, so we have to be on guard against him.

Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want the Uchiha clan to gain too much merit, so he had to keep them in Konoha.

If the Uchiha clan's achievements are too great, then it will be a threat to him as the Hokage.

The Uchiha clan has always had inappropriate ideas about the position of Hokage, and this is something that must be guarded against.

The position of Hokage of Konoha cannot fall into the hands of the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, walked to the window, looked at Konoha below, and prayed in his heart: "I hope the conflict will not expand further..."

However, things did not develop as Sarutobi Hiruzen prayed, and the conflict between Konoha and Iwagakure was suppressed to a small-scale conflict.

However, the situation between Konoha and Kumogakure became increasingly tense, and finally at the end of December in the 51st year of Konoha, the conflict escalated and war broke out.

The Thousand Cloud Village invaded the Land of Fire from the Land of Hot Water, and a fierce battle broke out with the Konoha troops led by Jiraiya who were defending the border.

The one who led this army to invade the Land of Fire was Dodai, who was deeply trusted by the Raikage.

Dodai was once the right-hand man of the Third Raikage Ai, and possessed the bloodline limit of Lava Release.

Although his strength is not as good as Jiraiya, he should not be underestimated.

The border defense forces led by Jiraiya were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, Jiraiya summoned the toads of Myoboku Mountain for help in time, and finally entered the Sage Mode to turn the tide, thus avoiding the outcome of being completely annihilated by Kumogakure.

Although a war broke out between Konoha and Kumogakure, neither side really used all their strength, and they both coincidentally compressed the scale of the war to a relatively low intensity level.

Time passed, and soon it was March of the 52nd year of Konoha.

The war between Konoha and Kumogakure continues, with both sides fighting back and forth on the border of the Land of Fire.

Although the intensity of the war was not high, Konoha's military expenditure increased significantly this year due to the outbreak of the war.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who had originally planned to cut Konoha's military spending, had to increase Konoha's military spending again.

All this has little to do with Uchiha Ming, and his face is not looking very good right now.

Just now, Hiroshi Kamiya, who was in charge of the transplant experiment of Hashirama Senju, told him that the cloning experiment had failed.

The reason for the failure is unknown; the clone was not able to perfectly replicate the original's features.

Not to mention the Mangekyō Sharingan, the clone doesn't even have the Sharingan.

A clone that doesn't even have the Sharingan naturally cannot be used as a test subject for transplanting Hashirama Senju's cells.

There is no difference between the clone of Uchiha Obito and the body of an ordinary Uchiha clan member.

It does not possess the powerful Yin escape technique that it possesses after opening the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"It seems that the cloning technology is not perfect..." Uchiha Ming thought.

It is certain that the Mangekyō Sharingan can be cloned.

In Boruto, one of Orochimaru's experimental subjects achieved this and successfully mass-produced a large number of Mangekyō Sharingan.

There is only one reason why this cannot be done now, and that is that the current cloning technology is not mature enough.

"But why is the clone of Hashirama Senju so perfect?" Uchiha Ming looked at the clone who looked almost identical to Hashirama Senju, his face full of confusion.

Uchiha Ming could clearly sense that the characteristics displayed by Senju Hashirama's clone were almost the same as Senju Hashirama's cells.

Even an ordinary ninja could sense that extremely rich vitality.

The qualities they express are almost identical.

Uchiha Ming was certain that if the suppression of the consciousness of Hashirama Senju's clone was lifted and he was allowed to truly develop his own consciousness, the growth rate of this clone would be extremely fast.

"What exactly is the difference here?" Uchiha Ming was very confused.

After thinking for a long time, Uchiha Ming still couldn't figure it out.

After all, this is not his area of ​​expertise. As the saying goes, every different field has its own barriers. It would be strange if he could think of it.
