Naruto's Six Paths

After deciding what to do next, the Third Hokage dismissed everyone, leaving only Nara Shikaku and Jiraiya behind.

"Shikaku, I'm really sorry for having to trouble you again this time." The Third Hokage said a little guiltily.

To be honest, Nara Shikaku doesn't want to go out again. The battle plan is too troublesome for him, but the current situation in Konoha is really not optimistic. One wrong move may cause the village to fall into passivity in the next war. Once something goes wrong in Konoha, the three clans of pigs, deer, and butterflies will not be in trouble either. After the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs left intact.

With the wisdom of the Nara clan, this simple and easy-to-understand truth is easy to understand, so when facing the Third Hokage to appease Nara Shikaku, he acted very indifferently, and he did it for Konoha.

The Third Hokage liked hearing this kind of words and became more and more satisfied with Nara Shikaku.

After the two of them finished speaking, Jiraiya on the side yawned and asked, "Shikaku, what's your idea of ​​letting our ninja sneak in secretly?"

"Jiraiya-sama, I think so, no matter what the purpose of the Iwa Ninja and the Suna Ninja is, we must take precautions before it happens.

Let the ninjas sneak in secretly. On the one hand, we can ambush in advance. If the Rock Ninja and Sand Ninja attack, we can respond in time. On the other hand, it is naturally to monitor their actions at all times. "Nara Shikaku explained.

"Shikaku, do you think that the current actions of Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja are just for us to see? In fact, their target has always been our Konoha, right?" Jiraiya continued to ask.

"That's right, Jiraiya-sama, it is impossible for the Suna Ninja and the Rock Ninja to have a direct conflict. The encounter between the Four-Tails and the Suna Ninja team is probably the news they deliberately released.

One more thing, Jiraiya-sama, please don't forget that when the Third Kazekage disappeared, the Suna Ninja saw our ANBU ninjas lurking there. The Suna Ninja may have long believed that we were the murderers of the Third Kazekage.

With the temperament and temperament of the senior Suna ninja, we will definitely be listed as the number one enemy, and the newly succeeded Fourth Kazekage will also launch a war against our Konoha to gain more support from the Third Kazekage.

To sum up, neither the Suna Ninja Village nor the Fourth Kazekage can turn against the Iwa Ninja at this time, so their spearheads must always be pointed at us. "

After listening to Nara Shikaku's words, Jiraiya figured everything out. He sighed deeply and asked the Third Hokage, "Old man, there are no outsiders here. Tell me honestly, the Third Hokage was really not killed by us."

The Third Hokage shook his head, "It's definitely not us. I asked Danzo about it, and he said he didn't do anything."

"Oh, what a disaster."

"Jiraiya-sama is wrong again. Even if the disappearance of the Third Kazekage had not happened, the Sand Ninja would have declared war on us sooner or later. Now, this day is just brought forward."

"According to what you said, the Third Kazekage is missing and the Suna Ninja side is missing a high-end combat force. It's still a good thing for us."

"In a sense, this is indeed the case. Jiraiya-sama, please think about it, the Second Ninja War ended less than 2 years ago, the Suna Ninja are in the desert, and they must not have recovered their strength.

Now that the Third Kazekage is missing, the newly appointed Fourth Kazekage acted rashly in order to stabilize his position. He must be ill-prepared. If a war really breaks out, it will be a good thing for us. "

Nara Shikaku's analysis was succinct, but Jiraiya couldn't stand it anymore. In his opinion, it would be meaningless for both sides when the war broke out, so Jiraiya casually found an excuse to jump out of the window and leave. Hokage's office.

As the night grew darker, Jiraiya felt very depressed. He wandered to the tavern and saw Tsunade who was drinking.

"Hey Tsunade, you are here too"

"Jiraiya, weren't you left behind by the old man? Why did you come out so quickly?"

"Don't mention it. They are discussing how to fight. I don't want to hear it."

"Yes, you have always been disgusted with war. Come and have a drink together."

"I think so too"

In the tavern, the two Sannin toasted and drank. Outside the tavern, in Orochimaru's basement, Mihara Katsuki and Orochimaru were doing research on cloning together.

Following Orochimaru, Mihara Guiyue learned a lot of knowledge from him that was different from his previous life. Through this knowledge, Mihara Guiyue continued to improve the clones he cultivated at his own home.

After more than a month of hard work, Mihara Guiyue finally created a sample that perfectly blended the ice escape and Uzumaki clan bloodlines.

After looking at the embryos in the glass vessel, Mihara Guiyue felt filled with a sense of accomplishment, but then he became a little depressed because he did not yet have the technology to ripen embryos. You can't wait more than ten years for the embryo to grow up on its own, right?

There was no way, Mihara Guiyue could only set her sights on Orochimaru.

That afternoon, Mihara Katsura arrived at the basement of Orochimaru's house. Orochimaru was tinkering with the DNA of the ice ninja as usual. Mihara Katsura didn't bother him anymore. It wasn't until Orochimaru failed again that Mihara Katsura walked over. Said, "Lord Orochimaru, please stop for a moment, I have made a new discovery."

During this time, Mihara Guiyue gave Orochimaru many surprises, which accelerated the progress of his experiments a lot. Therefore, Orochimaru still attached great importance to Mihara Guiyue's words, and immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Mihara Guiyue.

Mihara Keiyue smiled and said, "Sir Orochimaru, when you were peeling off the cells, I suddenly thought that the ice ninja we have been studying is already dead, and her cells are naturally dead. We want to use It’s impossible no matter how you think about it, to clone a living person from a dead cell.”

Orochimaru's eyes lit up when he heard this. He removed part of the body of the ice ninja and took some of his own blood. Under the microscope, Orochimaru found that his cells were indeed different from those of the ice ninja, just as Mihara Katsuki said That way, his cells are alive.

After confirming the root cause of the cloning failure, Orochimaru simply used his own blood to try. After two days of hard work, Orochimaru's experiment was successful.

Then Orochimaru put the embryo into a glass vessel, and began to prepare various materials for the birth of the embryo in front of Mihara Guiyue. Mihara Guiyue secretly wrote down these things while assisting Orochimaru.
