Konoha: The King of Souls from Uchiha

Chapter 287 Recruitment (Part 1)

Within a few minutes, the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon sent Juuzou Loquat and Kisame Gigantaki out in the name of performing a secret mission.

An hour later, the two arrived at the location of the secret mission, a canyon near the seaside on the border of the Kingdom of Wind.

The canyon is surrounded by mountains on three sides and close to the sea on one side. There is no vegetation. Only some extremely tenacious moss and weeds grow between the cliffs. The canyon is entirely made of sand and will be submerged by sea water at high tide.

After the two arrived, they stood on the beach and waited. After a while, two figures jumped down from the cliff and landed on the beach.

When the two saw the movement and looked over, they couldn't help but be slightly startled. Why were these two people together?

Could this secret mission be related to Konoha?

Uchiha Gen had already had some dealings with the two of them on the battlefield of Whirlpool Country. As Uchiha Gen's fame grew, it was natural that the two would not know each other.

"Pufferfish ghost, what's going on?" Juuzang Loquat, who was carrying a beheading sword, was the first to speak.

In terms of strength, today's Kisame may be slightly stronger than Loquat Juzo, but in terms of qualifications and status, Kisame is not as good as Loquat Juzo.

Loquat Juuzou is one of Kirigakure's remaining seven ninja swordsmen. He is a veteran among the veteran jounin. He is an old acquaintance with the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Oni, and their status is not much different.

Kisame Kisaki is a simple subordinate of the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Oni.

The three people present have different appearances, and they are all not very good, but they have one thing in common, that is, they all have sharp teeth like sharks.

The watermelon mountain blowfish ghost with shark muscles on his back grinned and said, "I'm here to give you two a chance."

"Opportunity?"

"Haha, you, a greedy guy, have such good intentions?"

"What's the benefit of taking it all to yourself? This is your style, right?" Loquat Juuzang grinned and said with a sarcastic expression.

Although the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost is also Loquat Juuzang's boss, Loquat Juuzang is not afraid, so he speaks more casually.

Wearing Kirigakure's regular combat uniform and carrying a ninja sword on his back, Mikigaki Kisame listened silently, with no expression on his face.

"I can't take this opportunity for myself, and there is no need to take it for myself, so it doesn't hurt to give it to you."

"Okay, stop being pretentious and just tell the truth." Loquat Juuzang waved his hand impatiently.

"I would like to introduce my patrons to the two of you, and we will work together for Master Xuan from now on."

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost is all smiles, but because of his weird appearance, his smile is quite scary.

Of course, the smiles of Loquat Juzo and Ganshi Kisame are not much better either. Big brother, don’t laugh at the second brother.

"Pufferfish ghost, how dare you betray Kirigakure Village?"

Loquat Juuzang's expression changed, and his volume increased involuntarily.

"Master Pufferfish, it's not a good idea for you to do this. Many ninjas in Kirigakure Village died at his hands..."

Mikigaki Kisame's expression also changed, his face became gloomy, and his volume did not increase, but became even lower.

"Hmph, how can this be considered betrayal?"

"In my words, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses his master to do his work."

"It's not like you don't know the situation in the village. The situation will only get worse in the future. Such a village is not worth my service at all."

"As for the Kirigakure ninja who died in your hands, what does that mean?"

"In war, it's life and death. Are there very few Konoha ninjas who have died in your hands?"

Loquat Juzo and Ganshi Kisame looked at each other after hearing this, and both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes...

At this time, although these two people were quite dissatisfied with Kirigakure Village's policies, they were not completely disappointed, that is, they had not reached the limit of their patience.

Therefore, the two of them were very hesitant about changing families...

"What are you still hesitating about?"

"To tell you the truth, if you dare to refuse, I will kill you today!"

The two of them sneered at the words of the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost.

One person kills both of them?

Although they are not sure of victory in one-on-one situations, they are still quite sure of self-protection, let alone two-on-one situations.

However, the opponent has a backer by his side. Two against two, they are no match. Even if the two of them besiege Uchiha Gen, they cannot win...

"Pufferfish ghost, don't threaten people. This is not the attitude you should have when recruiting talents."

"And from my perspective, they are not greedy for life and afraid of death..."

At this time, Gen Uchiha, who had been watching, spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he raised their hands.

In fact, it's not a compliment. Juuzou Loquat and Kisame Kisaki are really not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

If he were afraid of death, Loquat Juzo would not be brave enough to chop off the tailed beast with a knife, and Kisame Kisaki would not summon a group of sharks to bite him.

Both of them are ninjas who are cruel to others but even more cruel to themselves.

"Yes, sir."

Loquat Juzo and Dry Persimmon Kisame were famous and felt a lot more comfortable, because that was recognition of them by the strong.

"Your Excellency Xuan, what is your intention in recruiting us?"

"If it's detrimental to Kirigakure Village, I'm afraid I, Loquat Juuzang, can't obey my order."

"Although I am very dissatisfied with Kirigakure Village's current policies, it does not mean that I want to be detrimental to the village." Loquat Juuzang said with a serious face.

"Me too." Kisame Kisaki said with a serious face.

Because the two of them were not completely disappointed, they still had illusions about Kirigakure Village, and they could not yet accept turning against Kirigakure Village.

Gen Uchiha admired the two of them, especially Kisame Inikisaki.

If I had to make a metaphor, Gen Uchiha felt that Kisame Inigansaki was his Dianwei.

No matter what he does, he can protect Prime Minister Cao personally even when picking up girls, which shows how much Prime Minister Cao trusts him.

Therefore, Uchiha Gen was willing to answer their questions patiently and with a certain amount of respect.

"I have two motives for recruiting you."

"The first is the short-term goal. I want the three of you to help me kill two people who are not convenient for me to do."

"The second is long-term goals."

"This long-term goal is the direction I strive for, and it is also the direction you strive for, and that is peace."

"How to make peace?"

"My plan is that there will be only one country in the world, one Ninja Village!"

In fact, the last sentence Uchiha Gen said is somewhat untrue. To be precise, there is only one country and no Ninja Village.

Because the Ninja Village will replace the nobles as the country's ruling class, those ordinary people's talents will work for the extraordinary class.

It's just that these remarks are not that sensitive. After all, they challenge the secular concepts formed over thousands of years. It is easier for the two of them to understand each other this way.

"hiss……"

Hearing Uchiha Gen's words, not only the two of them, but also the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon took a deep breath.

A country, a ninja village?

Doesn't this mean that all other ninja villages and all countries will be wiped out?

Although it sounds like a dream and unrealistic, it is really an ambitious goal!

If there is really no country or ninja village in the world, then maybe peace can really come...

It’s just that it’s too difficult!

Each of the four major ninja villages has a strong foundation, and the small ninja village is not entirely weak. Coupled with the power possessed by the nobles of other countries...

Except for the Kingdom of Fire, everyone in the world is our enemy!

No, the Fire Nation nobles may not necessarily support Konoha.

Not to mention the kinship between the nobles of various countries, if Konoha really attacked and destroyed other ninja villages and countries, how would the nobles of the Fire Country deal with themselves?

Is it possible that the person in front of me and those with vested interests in Konoha are willing to let the world be handed over to the Fire Nation, which is far less powerful than Konoha?

This is not in line with human nature, nor is it in line with interests!

The three of them were lost for a moment and then came back to their senses. Loquat Juuzang spoke again.

"What is Your Excellency Xuan's plan?"
