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

The establishment of the recruitment point is a stroke of genius.

At this moment, many independent ninjas were deeply attracted.

Even the mature, shrewd and steady wandering ninjas decisively chose to join the Sound Village.

More importantly, there is no deep-rooted ninja power in Sound Village, which is in sharp contrast to the internal environment of some ninja villages. This makes them quickly determine that this is undoubtedly a powerful force full of hope and prospects, and they choose to join without hesitation.

While Yin Zhu was commanding the water python to adjust its course to head for the island where the Hidden Mist Village was located, he called out the system out of boredom and opened the "Forces" panel inside.

But when he saw this, his eyes widened.

"W-what's going on?"

[Otonin Village]?

"Why are there so many people all of a sudden?"

Yin Zhu's mind was full of questions.

Before he went to sea, due to the death of a small number of ninjas in the war, the total number of ninjas in the village and the two branches was only a little over a thousand.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he narrowed his eyes.

"These guys...it seems that the details of their battle with the Abby brothers have been exposed..."

Thinking about the bustling scene in the village at this time, Yin Zhu's doubts gradually dissipated.

And in his heart, he silently gave thumbs up to the two deputy leaders, Zabuza and Kabuto.

In terms of publicity, at least it can be said that they were ingenious and spared no effort.

Yin Zhu seemed to have foreseen that when he returned again, he would see the spectacular scene of a large number of ninjas in Yin Village.

He glanced at the "Power" interface.

At this time, the numbers behind the "Ninja Village Members" column were still rising rapidly at a pace of ten digits per second, which made Yin Zhu's eyelids twitch.

"Good guy..."

Yin Zhu showed a relieved smile, then thought of something and quickly opened the "Unfinished Task Bar" option.

[Hidden Dragon Ascends] (Unfinished)

Mission difficulty: S level

Mission requirements: Develop the Sound Village into a medium-sized ninja village. (Requires 2 elite jonin, 5 jonin, 20 chunin, 500 genin.)

Mission Reward: Gain 5000 experience points and a random S-level ninjutsu as reward.

-

"Now all we need is enough jonin."

Yin Zhu narrowed his eyes and thought.

He guessed that the Otonin who could be evaluated by the system as having the combat power of a jonin should be Akita, Haku, and Sasuke. The probability of others was low, and in Otonzhu's opinion, they were all lacking.

"Only Zabuza and Fu have the ability to reach the quasi-shadow level. Now we need to add Kimimaro and Neji to the elite jonin. In other words, we only need two more jonin, and Otogakure will be able to be promoted to a medium-sized ninja village..."

Originally, he did not attach importance to the grade rating given by this system, but the rewards for the tasks were very generous.

"Five thousand experience points, more than I got from killing Sarutobi Hiruzen before..."

In other words, if he goes back and spends some more experience points to upgrade Guren or Karin's two-magatama Sharingan to three-magatama Sharingan, the requirements of the mission [Hidden Dragon Ascension] can basically be completed.

While thinking in his mind, Yin Zhu frowned inadvertently and bent his ears slightly. In a trance, he not only heard the sound of surging waves, but also heard the vague sound of metal colliding in the distance.

"Have we almost reached the shore without realizing it?"

He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the large piece of land not far away.

He immediately waved his hand and retracted the translucent light curtain in front of him.

His gaze turned to the vast expanse of land in the distance, lush and verdant, standing tall in the endless sea.

I saw that between the distant islands and in the dense jungle, there seemed to be many shadows gathering at this moment.

In his open Sharingan, there were even some disordered chakra fluctuations remaining in the sky, and the ground also had marks left by the release of ninjutsu.

"Hmm? What on earth is going on?"

Yin Zhu was surprised and suddenly remembered something important.

"Could it be that the remnants of the Blood Mist faction have launched a rebellion? Is it Ringo Yuyuri? Or... Black Zetsu or Obito are secretly plotting something? Is the plot different from the original story?"

"Could it be that because of me, the plot of the Hidden Mist Village has also changed?"

Yin Zhu was a little confused, but he came to the Hidden Mist Village this time.

One of his main goals is to obtain more bloodline limits.

Another purpose is to try to come in person and see if he can open up the diplomatic relationship between Otogakure and Kirigakure.

The ambiguous attitude of Mei Terumi when she visited Otogakure made Ototake have this idea.

He is not the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and he is still a long way from opening the Rinnegan. He is not strong enough to destroy five countries alone, and he is a ruthless person who doesn't talk much.

So finding an ally is imperative.

Even if they're just drinking buddies.

Kirigakure is a very good choice. Once the alliance is formed successfully, although the two villages are thousands of miles apart, they can still play a significant role at critical moments.

At least in terms of momentum, if the situation in the ninja world changes suddenly in the future, Ototake and Otogakure will not be alone and surrounded by enemies.

However, he encountered a battle as soon as he arrived. This change was really beyond his expectations.

The reasons that could cause this event to happen earlier.

It is very likely due to the existence of the variable that is him, the time traveler.

"Having two tailed beasts imprisoned in his hands, does Black Zetsu feel the pressure? Is he trying to secretly control Kirigakure as before, to increase his leverage?"

Yin Zhu stared at the steep and rugged terrain, the beach and the coastline that were getting closer and closer, and his mind raced.

"Water Release - Water Bubble Technique!"

Yin Zhu formed seals with his hands, and a light blue translucent air shield appeared above his head.

Then he pointed to an uninhabited coast at four o'clock and gave an order to the anaconda below him. "Dive to the shore."

The water python immediately obeyed the order and dived rapidly below the sea surface.

Soon, only a gradually dissipating circle of ripples remained on the deep blue sea.

Not long after.

After landing at a remote and deserted place, Yin Zhu leaped up, crouched low on the beach, and moved towards the battle position over there hiding his figure.

He opened his Sharingan and moved forward seemingly nonchalantly, but at the same time he was already ready for battle.

Although this was only the outermost area of ​​the Hidden Mist Village, since Akatsuki might have intervened, things were no longer as simple as he had thought before.

He knew very well that at this moment, the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, was most likely approaching this coastline.

As for the Kekkei Genkai ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village, apart from the active troops who may remain, the only possibility of their survival is probably in the prison of the Hidden Mist Village.

He decided to go there and take a look first.
