Konoha's strongest substitute user

Why did Dongxing directly state in the mission report that Orochimaru had an unknown substitute messenger under his command?

Because this kind of thing cannot be hidden at all.

It's not a big deal in the first place, but the more you cover it up, the weirder it becomes.

What Dongxing was lucky about was that he didn't have a real meeting with the substitute messenger who might be his blood relative, so there was still some room for maneuver without lying.

"I have never met the substitute messenger." Dongxing spoke in a non-stick pan style and began his statement: "At that time, I was restraining Orochimaru and protecting the people of Hoshigakure Village, so I fought with her. It was Neji, Li, Tiantian, and Naruto. I also learned from their mouths afterwards that the other party was a substitute user."

That wasn't the information Tsunade wanted to hear.

In the past, throughout the ninja world, avatars were the patent of Kujo Tosei, and avatars were an ability that could only be inherited by relying on the Tarot cards made by Kujo Tosei. All avatars were within the scope of the Konoha ninjas.

A substitute messenger suddenly appeared on Orochimaru's side, and it was difficult for Tsunade not to combine this with the scientific research ability of her old classmate. Does this mean that the substitute can have other ways of learning?

Taking the currently available Stand Users as a benchmark, except for the special case of Kujo Tosei, basically once a Stand User awakens, they will have a strength that is at least comparable to that of an excellent Chuunin. If the acquisition of substitutes becomes cheap, Orochimaru is tantamount to mastering the ability to mass-produce ninjas that are comparable to chunin and even jonin in terms of combat effectiveness.

The most important thing to figure out now is how the substitute user learned to be a substitute, and whether the way to learn the substitute came from Orochimaru. Also, if it really came from Orochimaru, how much would it cost for him to create a substitute messenger?

After all, he is a senior Konoha executive who came from the war years and has been serving as Hokage for several months now. Tsunade knows that Orochimaru is absolutely evil towards Konoha, and the most important thing is to find out the information about the enemy and ourselves: "Omit those things that are not What is necessary, tell me your speculation now.”

There are only two people in the Hokage's office, Tsunade and Dongxing. Now that Tsunade has entered office mode, Dongxing has naturally become serious.

"My theory is that she is most likely an artificial human created by Orochimaru using my cells." Regarding the speculation about blood relatives, Dongxing did not intend to say it out loud. This is not considered lying. Whether she is a blood relative or not, he still needs to decide for himself. The investigation made it clear: "I have fought with Orochimaru many times so far. When I first met Orochimaru, he planned to plant a curse seal on me and successfully bit my neck. As long as Orochimaru needs it, he can It shouldn't be difficult to reach my cells."

Tsunade must believe what Dongxing said.

Tsunade was fairly familiar with the scientific research ability of her old classmate. Orochimaru's defection from the village was closely related to his persistence and methods in certain research. Although it is more of an ideological disagreement, it is true in terms of expression.

Dong Xing's speculation coincided with Tsunade's, and Tsunade touched her chin: "Is that really the case? Then what is Orochimaru's purpose in going to Hoshigakure Village this time?"

"Orochimaru's goal is the stars of Hoshigakure Village, and he has already obtained half of the stars. The other half is currently in the hands of Natsuhi of Hoshigakure Village. She is now in the team visiting Konoha from Hoshigakure Village. ." This matter is still Dongxing's dereliction of duty: "The star of Xingyin Village should have a great connection with the substitute."

"That's why you brought so many people from Hoshigakure Village here." Tsunade frowned, maybe because she just talked about Orochimaru, her thoughts suddenly went wrong: "First of all, Konoha is against human experimentation. Not to mention using ninjas from other ninja villages for experiments."

Tsunade's thoughts were obviously too crooked, and Dong Xing was a little bit dumbfounded: "Where did I go? I just hope that the village will come forward to ask Hoshiyin Village to borrow stars to study. Tiantian was injured in the battle, and his body was pierced by the fragments of the stars. It stands to reason She was said to be corroded by the chakra of the star, but after using Tarot cards on her, she immediately successfully awakened her substitute."

Tsunade had just found out that Tenten had also awakened her substitute: "There is such a thing."

"Not only that." Dongxing added: "If you have seen it with your own eyes, you will know that the Peacock Magic of Hoshigakure Village has some similarities with the double. It is probably because of this that Orochimaru wants to take advantage of Hoshigakure Village. If possible If so, we cannot lag behind.”

Tsunade also didn't expect that a mission to support the Hidden Star Village could actually yield such rewards.

A department that had been proposed a long time ago and then shelved could just take this opportunity to be established: "Well, you go and find a way. If you can borrow stars from Xingyin Village, then the village will establish a substitute department, and you will be the director. , from now on, you will be responsible for matters related to substitute research, as well as all substitute messengers in the village."

The words are good words, and the deeds are also good things, but they are empty words, and Dongxing cannot just open his mouth and let Xingyin Village hand over Xing willingly.

At the meeting of Hoshigakure Village, Dongxing, as the representative of Konoha, also forcibly pulled the banner of Konoha to convey a message to Hoshigakure Village, that is, "You'd better consider not to use the horns of the drilling bird's magic method. Try to cooperate with Konoha." Originally, Dongxing hoped to weaken the importance of the star to the Hoshigakure Village, so that this group of autistic ninjas could agree to hand over the star that was more important than their lives.

Of course, the premise is to provide Xingyin Village with a practical path that can develop without stars.

The prerequisite for this is that Konoha must agree to establish diplomatic relations with Hoshigakure Village and agree to exchange resources with Hoshigakure Village to a certain extent.

The white wolf with empty gloves cannot trap him. People have already brought Hoshi to Konoha, and they can’t rob it openly. Besides, they didn’t intend to rob it openly. Of course, Dongxing needs to get the support of the village first: “I don’t have anything to gain except being a substitute. How can you ask for stars if you have to get rid of something?"

"What you mean is, let the village help you get it." As a fat sheep in the gambling world and a negative-equity Hokage, Tsunade is particularly sensitive to this kind of exchange and transaction.

Dongxing smiled honestly, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: "You can't say that, Konoha Village is in need of manpower to build a new city, and the secret Peacock Magic of Xingyin Village will definitely have miraculous effects in this construction, and they are working on it. We need some resources that are insignificant to other ninja villages, such as the most basic ninjutsu, and money. Instead of paying a construction team whose work efficiency is only at the level of ordinary people, it is better to hire people from Hoshiyakure Village."

"I heard that Hoshigakure Village knows no other ninjutsu except the Peacock Mystic Technique, and their ninja only knows the Peacock Mystical Technique. This is true." Tsunade has only heard rumors about the Autistic Village. From Hoshi's words, Tsunade could tell that this autistic village really seemed to only have the Peacock Mystical Technique, which was too single-minded and didn't look like a ninja village at all.

Dongxing only found out after getting to know it personally that Xingyin Village really only had the Peacock Magic.

They have some pathological self-esteem and self-confidence, which makes them even actively refuse the opportunity to obtain external resources, such as basic ninjutsu: "Yes, they have no other ninjutsu, not even the lowest-level and most popular low-level ninjutsu." Survive. After this incident, Hoshigakure Village has begun to pay attention to ninjutsu other than Peacock Magic, and their emergency situation is relatively poor, so now is the best time."

Tsunade thought about it for a while and found nothing wrong. It is better to provide help in times of need than icing on the cake. Now Konoha's small favors are indeed a help in times of need for Hoshigakure Village: "Okay, then I will promise you as Hokage that Konoha is willing to cooperate with Xingyin Village has reached a cooperation, but the conditions promised are the ones you just mentioned."

"Then thank you, Godaime-sama." Dongxing nodded with a smile: "Also, I would like to check the village's investigation file on me when I first joined Konoha. This should not be a secret."

"What kind of secret is this? Just go to the archives department and talk to them. This is not permission to view confidential files. Just be careful not to make mistakes." Tsunade waved her hand to indicate that Dongxing could leave. She had to find another person. Several team members from this mission came to learn more about the situation: "Also, if you get the star, come and report to me. The stand-in department is a completely independent department. If you want to establish it and notify other departments, the specific procedures are quite troublesome. .”

"No problem." Dongxing turned and left the Hokage's office.

Tsk... I was just avenged by being sold to the daimyo, but I have regained some ground today.
