Lord Naruto

Chapter 222 Nanao Chongaki appears

Kushina returned to Konoha, and this matter came to an end. The relationship between the Wood Empire and the Country of Fire also returned to normal. However, many of the previous cooperation projects between the two countries had shrunk a lot, except for some important cooperation. , returned to normal under the sincerity shown by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, and most of these cooperations are beneficial to the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan.

For the rest of the cooperation, no matter what conditions Sarutobi Hiruzen offered at that time, Uzumaki Ziping did not agree. Afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to continue to complete it himself.

The ninja world also returned to peace, and each began to focus on development. Two years passed, and the disappeared Nanao Shigeaki reappeared in front of the world.

As soon as Nanao Jumei appeared, he destroyed the Country of Grass. The four elders of the Country of Grass, 'Ox', 'Sheep', 'Tiger', and 'Monkey', were directly killed in the battle. The leader was also seriously injured, and Nanao Jumei also It was uncomfortable. This was a lose-lose outcome. Nanao Shigeaki was seriously injured, but he managed to escape and disappeared again.

Faced with this encounter in the Country of Grass, all countries just gloated after knowing about it. Most of the powerful ninja countries had no good impressions of the small country like the Country of Grass.

Small countries feel that there is one less competitor, and big countries feel that this is an opportunity to weaken the Country of Grass. With the changes of the times, the countries in the current ninja world have achieved unprecedented development after finding new directions for development.

The strength is increasing rapidly every year. In the past, a small country often only had a few thousand ninja legions at most, so it was already a very powerful country.

But now they are relatively weak. In small countries such as Lock Country and Smoke Country, the number of ninjas is increasing by hundreds or thousands every year. In stronger countries such as Grass Country and Taki Country, the number of ninjas is even 5000 to [-] per year. Speed ​​growth.

Among them, the most powerful Rain Country, with the help of the Wood Empire, has almost [-] ninjas every year.

As for the six major countries, their population and resources are not comparable to small countries. The number of ninjas that increase every year is even more terrifying. This is the change that the Wood Empire took the lead in bringing to the ninja world after the Second Ninja War. .

In the past, ninjutsu was strictly controlled by various forces. Now that this manifestation has been broken by the Wood Empire, the ninja world has become a bit blossoming. Of course, there are still some who are unwilling to spread ninjutsu, and it is still the same as before. Just as tightly nestled in his hand.

But after a few years, I found that most of the people in my territory had left and went to other countries where they had the opportunity to learn ninjutsu. Those who remained were the old, weak, sick and disabled.

How could a place become prosperous without the development of a people-based population? However, these forces are constantly weakening every day. If they don't make changes, they may be eliminated one day.

As the number of ninjas increases, the resources of various countries are also challenged, especially food and equipment. Ninjas are a very eatable group.

Although the development of many resources has been solved after the number of ninjas increased, this requires a process. Countries have only begun to try such development, and there are still many problems that need to be solved.

As for the Wood Empire, which has a large amount of marine resources, the fish husbandry industry has developed rapidly, which has allowed the Wood Empire to earn a lot of wealth from the hands of various countries.

This time, the Wood Empire made a good start again. Now many various grazing lands have appeared in other countries, and agriculture and animal husbandry have quickly become the main industry for the development of the people.

The world of the ninja world is very big. Unfortunately, due to years of war and social instability, the population of the ninja world is not very large at all. It may be slightly more than that of the United States. There are less than [-] million people living in this world. This is still How many untapped resources are there?

After Nanao Shigeaki was seriously injured and left, he left behind a country full of wounds. While all countries were secretly enjoying what happened to the Country of Grass, the Country of Rain and the Wood Empire took advantage of the opportunity to attack the Country of Grass. Take action.

Before the outside world knew it, the Kingdom of Grass had already changed its name and was completely controlled by the Kingdom of Rain. All the powerful figures in the Kingdom of Grass died inexplicably.

The few cats and fish left behind were all left to the Kingdom of Rain. As for the ninjutsu inheritance of the Kingdom of Grass, they were all shared by the Kingdom of Rain and the Wood Empire.

The Kingdom of Rain now has the Kingdom of Rivers and the Kingdom of Grass in its hands, and now has the confidence to become a big country. Unfortunately, the current time does not allow it, and it does not dare to announce it publicly, so it still maintains its original appearance.

When it continues to develop, when the time is right, it will be a moment of shock to the ninja world.

The injured Nanao Shigeaki, for some unknown reason, appeared in the direction of the Tea Province of the Wood Empire, which was the location of the strait between the Wind Empire, the Wood Empire, and the Land of Fire, the Three Kingdoms.

When Uzumaki Zihei got the news, he was also very shocked. The Nanao Juaki was indeed the only flying creature among the tailed beasts. The flying speed was really fast. How many kilometers had he traveled to get here? .

But Uzumaki Ziping had no time to complain, and immediately called Hou Shou, Xixi and Youlan over.

"Ziping, why did you call the three of us here?" Hou Shou said.

"Hmph! If there's nothing good going on, just call me here and just wait for me to beat you up!" You Lan also said.

Xixi didn't speak, but the sharp look in Uzumaki Ziping's eyes explained a lot.

When Uzumaki Ziping saw the expressions of these two aunts, he was trembling in his heart. These were really ferocious beasts in human form. What kind of character did he possess in the hearts of these two people?

But Uzumaki Ziping still gritted his teeth, shook his head, put aside these terrible worries and said: "This time we are also pressed for time. The four of us explained it to you as we set off. Now I can only tell you that this is about Nanao Jumei. Well, if you’re late, you won’t have time.”

When Hou Shou, Xixi and Youlan heard about Nanao Chongming, they became inexplicably excited and wanted to ask something. However, after hearing Uzumaki Ziping say that time was tight, they did not rush to ask. Obey Uzumaki Ziping's arrangements honestly.

Time was urgent. Uzumaki Ziping and the three of them directly used the Flying Thunder God Teleportation Formation to fly to the Tea Province Academy. There was no time to explain to the people at the Tea Province Academy. However, the senior leaders of the Tea Province Academy here saw that these four big guys were like this. He was hurrying on his way, knowing that there must be something important to deal with, and no one dared to show up to ask, let alone stop him.

&n

bsp;After arriving at the Tea Province, the speed started to increase at full speed according to the coordinates given by Xiaolong.

While they were on their way, Uzumaki Ziping said: "Nanabi Shigeaki appeared in the Country of Grass some time ago and had a fight with the ninjas of the Country of Grass. You should all know about this, right?"

"Yeah! I know." All three of them nodded.

"But didn't you mean that Chongming escaped and disappeared? Why did you bring us here?" Xixi asked.

Hearing Xixi's gentle question, if it were normal times, Uzumaki Ziping would fly with joy, but now he has no such intention.

"The situation of that guy Chongming at that time should have been injured before he escaped. With Chongming's cautious character, he should have found a safe place to recover from his injuries. Just like the last war, the guy will only appear again when he is almost recovered. , but this time someone found traces near the strait in front, so I feel that the guy's situation may be a little bad." Uzumaki Ziping said.

After hearing Uzumaki Ziping's words, Hou Shou also said: "With that guy's cautious character, it is impossible for him to be discovered when he is injured, and that guy's disguise and concealment were done by the nine of us. Best, according to what Ziping said, there might really be something wrong with that guy, or there might be some danger, otherwise how could he be discovered."

Uzumaki Ziping also nodded and said: "Brother Hou is right. There must be something wrong with that guy. He may have been seriously injured while fighting the Grass Country, but these are not what I am really worried about. ."

Uzumaki Ziping paused for a while, then sighed and said: "If that guy was just injured, with the strong physique of the tailed beast, he would be fine if he found a place to sleep for a while, but the location where the guy appeared was really... It's too dangerous. We can all receive information about that guy's appearance. It's conceivable that other countries, such as the Fire Country and the Wind Empire, will also receive information about that guy's appearance soon. We are still a little far away. If we are The ninjas from the two countries discovered it first. I'm worried that the guy will be conquered and sealed by them and become the new Jinchuuriki of other countries. Moreover, it is the easiest to succeed when the guy is seriously injured. This is That’s what worries me.”

After hearing Uzumaki Ziping voice his worries, Hou Shou, Xixi and Youlan also understood why Uzumaki Ziping called the three of them out in such a hurry.

"The situation is so urgent, so why are we still lingering here? Speed ​​up quickly. We must find Chongming before the other two countries." Youlan looked very anxious, and after saying that, she started running at full speed.

Driven by You Lan, the speed of the four of them soared again, and Uzumaki Ziping carefully moved to the side of Yiyi. Xixi glanced at Uzumaki Ziping sideways and asked: "If you have anything to say, you can Say it quickly, but it’s impossible to take advantage of this opportunity, don’t even think about it.”

Hou Shou also saw the small movements of the two people. As long as it did not affect the time on the way, Hou Shou pretended not to see it. He even accelerated to Youlan's side to help Uzumaki Ziping contain Youlan's sight, thinking "Brother." , I have created the opportunity for you, and the rest is up to you."

Uzumaki Ziping seemed to have sensed Hou Shou's thoughts. Seeing Hou Shou flying to Youlan's side, Uzumaki Ziping said in his heart, "Brother! Thank you!"

Although Uzumaki Ziping and Xixi now have some time alone, Uzumaki Ziping did not dare to act casually, fearing that he would miss this opportunity, and said somewhat seriously: "Xixi, I want to talk to you about Chongming. ."

Xixi raised her eyebrows. She thought that Uzumaki Ziping would say something nice to her, and she originally didn't want to pay attention to it. But when she heard about Nanao Chongming, Xixi opened her mouth and said, "What about Chongming? You tell me first and listen."

Hearing Xixi's reply, Uzumaki Ziping felt relieved. The first difficulty was passed, and Uzumaki Ziping did have something to ask about Nanao Chongming, so he said: "This is what I think about, that guy Chongming Because I am used to being free in the outside world, I am also the only one among you who has not been caught and sealed in a container. If not for this accident, we would not have known the whereabouts of that guy, but I am worried that that guy will not accept us. If we make an agreement and join our camp, that guy may choose to believe in himself..."

Xixi also thought about it after hearing Uzumaki Ziping's words. Considering Nanao Shigeaki's character, she would indeed choose to believe in herself as Uzumaki Ziping guessed, because Nanao Shigeaki is the only tailed beast who has been able to live freely in the outside world for so many years. .

Being accustomed to a free environment, it is impossible for them to choose to live in a restricted environment. Although Hou Shou, Xixi and Youlan are within the vicinity of the Wood Empire, they can still live and move freely as long as they do not leave the Wood Empire. The territorial scope is fine, but in such an environment, this is a constraint for Nanao Shigeaki, who can fly freely around the world.

Seeing that Xixi was still thinking about the meaning of her lack of answer, Uzumaki Ziping continued: "Actually, I have no regrets about that guy, he didn't choose to join our camp, he chose to believe in himself and continue to live his free life. As long as we dare to save him in front of the other two, it's fine, but I'm very worried that if he's flying around like this, he may be caught by that person, Uchiha Madara, although we don't know that guy. I’ve been thinking about some plan, but I’m sure that Madara Uchiha absolutely needs the power of the tailed beasts.”

Xixi, who was still thinking silently, heard Uzumaki Ziping's words again, and seemed to recall Uchiha Madara, that god-like and terrifying man, and understood what Uzumaki Ziping meant, because in front of Uzumaki Ziping, Xixi had nothing to say except what he absolutely couldn't say. Those secrets, basically all that could be said were told in order to find a topic to chat with Xixi, so Xixi knew many secrets very well.

"Don't worry! We will let Chongming join our camp. That guy has been wandering outside for so many years. Now it's time to do something serious. He should now take on some of the missions given by the Immortal of Six Paths." Xixi said.

Hearing Xixi's reply, Uzumaki Ziping felt relieved. If Nanao Shigeaki did not choose to join the Wood Empire's camp because of freedom issues, it would also make Uzumaki Ziping feel very regretful. Now with Xixi's affirmation, Although the outcome is still unknown, the possibility of success is still high.

Then the topic of Nanao Chongming was discussed, and Uzumaki Ziping started chatting with Xixi. In this way, the four of them rushed out of the tea province and entered this triangular strait.

From the map, Nanao Shigeaki's current location should be in the direction close to River Country. Although the strength of the four of them is strong, traveling on the sea will still be a bit exhausting, and the speed is not as fast as on land, but still not It took a day to arrive at the area where Nanao Chongming appeared.
