Naruto: The Beginning of the Game

As soon as the words fell, Nagato turned around, waved his hand, and a white, soft object flew towards Xiaonan.

Xiaonan took the soft object like plasticine and looked at Nagato: "What is this?"

"This is the spore clone of White Zetsu, which can simulate the chakra of other people. If you carry it with you, the spiritual transformation technique will not be able to sense our chakra." Nagato explained.

"White Zetsu actually has this effect!" Xiaonan said in surprise, and at the same time she solemnly put away the spores in her hand.

"White Zetsu's role is far more than that, its ability exceeds our imagination." Nagato's face showed a smile. After obtaining the true inheritance of Uchiha Madara, he knew that the effect of White Zetsu was so powerful.

"It is worthy of being a creature created by the sacred tree." Xiaonan sighed.

After Nagato obtained the inheritance of Uchiha Madara, he shared a lot of things about the ancient times with Xiaonan, which naturally included the origin and true appearance of the Outer Path Demon Statue.

At this time, a White Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground not far from the two.

After the White Zetsu arrived, he looked at Nagato and said, "Nagato, we found someone suitable to be recruited into the Akatsuki organization."

"Oh? Who is it? What's his name?" Nagato asked immediately.

Strictly speaking, Akatsuki now only has one high-end fighter like him. Sometimes when he wants to do something, he feels that he is too busy to do it.

"That person is called Kakuzu, a bounty hunter who has a secret technique called Earth Grudge, which can plunder other people's hearts, prolong his life and master the chakra attributes of the heart owner." White Zetsu explained.

"It sounds like he is quite powerful." Nagato nodded.

White Zetsu spread his hands and said, "Yes, he was an elite ninja of Takigakure Village. He once accepted the task of assassinating the first Hokage of Konoha, Senju Hashirama. He must have a certain strength to be able to escape from Senju Hashirama."

"So it seems that he is indeed quite capable," Nagato nodded and asked, "Where is he?"

"In the underground gold exchange in the Land of Hot Water, he has been active in that country recently." White Zetsu replied.

"Okay." Nagato nodded and looked at Konan, "Konan, I'll trouble you in the Land of Rain. I will be back as soon as possible."

Konan didn't say anything, but nodded silently.

Konoha, Hokage's office.

After the smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of opium. He has been very worried recently.

The border of the Land of Fire has become more and more restless. Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure have increased their infiltration efforts at almost the same time.

A large number of ninja teams secretly invaded the Land of Fire, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil in towns and villages on the border.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire was furious and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen to come up with a charter as soon as possible.

If the problem cannot be solved, then he will have to consider reducing Konoha's military expenditure.

For this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen even sent Danzo out.

Obviously, this situation can no longer be said to be a local conflict, but a small-scale war.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has now sent out all the people who can be sent out.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Danzo guarded one side respectively, but even so, there were some areas that could not be protected, so they could only let the people of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans go to check for loopholes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no intention of sending Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Ming.

Konoha now has a large number of high-end combat forces out, and the interior is empty. In this situation, someone has to sit in to protect the Jinchūriki.

Nagato obviously hates Konoha, so he must be on guard.

Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want the Uchiha clan to gain too much merit, so he had to keep them in Konoha.

If the Uchiha clan's merits were too great, it would be a threat to him as the Hokage.

The Uchiha clan has always had inappropriate thoughts about the position of Hokage, which must be guarded against.

The position of Konoha's Hokage must not fall into the hands of the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, walked to the window, looked at Konoha below, and prayed in his heart: "I hope the conflict will not expand..."

However, the development of things did not go as Sarutobi Hiruzen prayed. Although the conflict between Konoha and Iwagakure was suppressed to a small-scale conflict.

But the situation between Konoha and Kumogakure became more and more intense. Finally, at the end of December in the 51st year of Konoha, the conflict expanded and the war broke out.

The Thousand Clouds entered the Land of Fire from the Land of Hot Water and fought a fierce battle with the Konoha troops led by Jiraiya who were deployed at the border.

The one who led this army to invade the Land of Fire was Dodai, who was deeply trusted by Raikage Ai.

Dodai, who was once the right-hand man of the Third Raikage Ai, possessed the bloodline limit of Lava Release..

Although his strength is not as good as Jiraiya's, he should not be underestimated.

The border defense forces led by Jiraiya were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, Jiraiya summoned the toads of Myoboku Mountain in time to help, and finally entered the sage mode to turn the tide, thus avoiding the outcome of being annihilated by Kumogakure.

Although the war broke out between Konoha and Kumogakure, neither side really used all their strength, and they coincidentally compressed the scale of the war to a relatively low intensity.

Time passed, and soon it came to March of the 52nd year of Konoha.

The war between Konoha and Kumogakure continued, and the two sides fought back and forth on the border of the Land of Fire.

Although the intensity of the war was not high, because of the outbreak of the war, Konoha's military expenditure increased a lot this year.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who originally planned to cut Konoha's military expenditure, had to increase Konoha's military expenditure again.

All this has little to do with Uchiha Ming, and his face is not very good now.

Just now, Hiroshi Kamiya, who was in charge of the transplantation experiment of Hashirama Senju, told him that the cloning experiment failed.

The reason for the failure is unknown, and the clone was unable to perfectly replicate the characteristics of the original body.

Let alone the Mangekyō Sharingan, the clone does not even have the Sharingan.

A clone without the Sharingan cannot be used as an experimental subject for transplanting Hashirama Senju cells.

The clone of Uchiha Obito is no different from the body of an ordinary Uchiha clan member.

It does not have the powerful Yin escape after opening the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"It seems that the cloning technology is not perfect..." Uchiha Ming thought.

The Mangekyō Sharingan can be cloned, this is a certainty.

In Boruto, one of Orochimaru's experimental subjects did this and successfully copied a large number of Mangekyō Sharingans in batches.

There is only one reason why it cannot be done now, that is, the current cloning technology is not mature enough.

"But why is the clone of Senju Hashirama so perfect?" Uchiha Ming looked at the clone that looked almost the same as Senju Hashirama, his face full of confusion.

Uchiha Ming could clearly sense that the characteristics displayed by Senju Hashirama's clone were almost the same as those of Senju Hashirama's cells.

Even ordinary ninjas could sense the extremely rich vitality.

The characteristics they expressed were almost exactly the same.

Uchiha Ming was sure that if the suppression of the consciousness of Senju Hashirama's clone was cancelled and he was allowed to truly give birth to his own consciousness, then the growth rate of this clone would be flying.

"Where is the difference?" Uchiha Ming was very confused.

After thinking for a long time, Uchiha Ming still couldn't figure it out.

This was not his area of ​​expertise after all. As the saying goes, different trades are like different mountains. It would be strange if he could think of it.
