Chapter 205
After the fifth viewing, the lives of the general public in the ninja world have returned to their usual rhythm, but for the intelligence departments of each ninja village, the next is actually their busiest time.
The fifth sky curtain revealed not much content, the most important of which is undoubtedly the members of the Akatsuki organization who all appeared. According to the comparison with the information collected in the past, the countries have now confirmed the identities of six of them.
Konoha S-level rebel ninja Uchiha Itachi, Mist Village S-level rebel ninja Hoshigaki Kisame, Iwagakure S-level rebel ninja Deidara, Sand Village S-level rebel ninja Red Sand Scorpion, as well as the famous bounty hunter Kakuzu and the madman Feidan of the evil god cult.
To be honest, after investigating the deeds of these people, the top leaders of each village were more or less shocked. Judging from their previous records, each of these six people can be comparable to the shadows of the five major ninja villages, not to mention that there are four people whose real identities have not been investigated, but who are obviously higher in status.
Based on this survey result, each village increased its attention to the Akatsuki organization, but became more cautious in action, fearing that these people would bring huge losses to the village.
In addition to the information about the Akatsuki organization, the only valuable thing left was the chakra armor of the Snow Country.
Although the unspoken rule that ninjas cannot interfere in the internal affairs of a country prevented each village from going to the Snow Country for investigation, it was still okay to send a small-scale team to collect intelligence.
Anyway, Fenghua Nutao was quite nervous and tangled at the moment, not knowing whether to abandon the mess of the Snow Country, because he knew that Fenghua Xiaoxue would never give up the idea of taking back the Snow Country.
The situation was indeed the same as he thought. Fenghua Xiaoxue arrived in Konoha three days later and put forward a formal commission to restore the country.
Because of the sky curtain, Fenghua Xiaoxue carried a certain "appointed" label in becoming the name of the Snow Country. Konoha naturally did not worry about being accused of interfering in other countries' internal affairs by other ninja villages after passing her commission.
The only point that has not been agreed on in the mission is whether to let Team 7 take this mission.
Previously, because of concerns about Naruto's safety, Sarutobi Hiruzen specially arranged a mission with a short distance and clear content for him.
But after seeing Naruto's future achievements, everyone understands that this kind of growth path with everything arranged is not conducive to Naruto's development. Apart from anything else, a ninja who has not experienced a life-and-death crisis will never mature.
Therefore, after sufficient consideration, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally agreed to let Team 7 take on the mission of Fenghua Xiaoxue returning to the Snow Country. Of course, someone will definitely be sent to protect her in secret. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen also put forward some conditions to the client, hoping to wait until the end of the Chunin Exam before starting the mission. It happened that the crew's publicity work in the Fire Country had not been completed, so there was no reason not to agree.
With the Five Kage Talks approaching, Konoha has been quite lively recently.
Because there was a rumor that the Chunin Exam would be held after the Five Kage Talks, the Genin who planned to take the exam were training overtime, and Xiaoqiang was no exception.
That evening, Sasuke, who had just finished a day of training, bought some katsuobushi rice balls and tomatoes on his way home.
Even in this free time, Sasuke's expression was not relaxed at this time. It was because of Uchiha Itachi who appeared at the end of the sky curtain a few days ago that he was always unable to maintain a stable mood, and even the training effect of the past few days was reduced.
Now Sasuke's mind is full of how to gain strength, and he has even considered whether to join Orochimaru more than once.
'Although my strength is steadily improving under Kakashi's training, I don't know how long it will take to grow to the point where I can defeat that man...'
Thinking of this, Sasuke clenched his fist unwillingly.
He is not a person like Naruto who is born with abundant chakra, so it is difficult for his strength to be improved by leaps and bounds if he follows the routine.
Of course, he is much stronger than ordinary ninjas. At least every increase in his pupil power will drive the growth of his own chakra. Therefore, Sasuke believes that if he is the same age as Kakashi, his chakra will definitely be much stronger than his chakra unit.
No matter how much he can grow in the future, Sasuke, who is now constantly burned by the flames of hatred, really wants to have the power to kill Uchiha Itachi immediately, and it is acceptable to pay some price for this, so Sasuke aimed at various special powers, abilities and equipment exposed by the sky.
During this period, the Sage Mode and Tailed Beast Power used by Naruto in the future were naturally seen by Sasuke, but based on some kind of rejection and confrontation, Sasuke rejected them at the first time.
At the same time, he also abandoned the power of the Mangekyo that Uchiha Itachi had mentioned to him.Sasuke would never obey his arrangement, even if doing so could really gain the power to fight Itachi.
So after some information search and research and comparison, Sasuke found that the most cost-effective one was actually Orochimaru's curse seal, so it was not surprising that he would have the idea of joining Orochimaru.
'If I join Orochimaru now, I will completely put my life in his hands... Because of the sky curtain, Orochimaru is likely to take my body as soon as we meet. Although I can use this as a bargaining chip to let him kill Itachi, I still want to do it myself if I can...'
To be honest, Sasuke's growth rate is actually very amazing. Even if Naruto is working hard enough now, Sasuke's winning rate is still higher if the two really fight.
The bad thing is that the future revealed by the sky curtain is mostly based on Naruto's perspective, and the strength he shows refreshes Sasuke's cognition again and again. How can this not make Sasuke feel anxious?
With his thoughts in a mess, Sasuke walked to an empty street with an expressionless face. Suddenly, he frowned and turned his head to look at a big tree on the side of the road.
"Who?!"
A figure of about the same height as Sasuke, wearing an animal mask and a waist-baring top, walked out from behind the tree without any disguise, and said to Sasuke in a flat tone: "Uchiha Sasuke, Danzo wants to see you, please follow me."
'That mask... is it from the Anbu? ' Sasuke stared at the other party for a moment, and after feeling the hidden hostility from the other party, he smiled coldly: "I don't know who Danzo is, but you said please, I don't see that you have such sincerity..."
"And... before, the Sandaime specifically told me that in the recent period, except for his and Kakashi's instructions, all other people who conveyed orders to me can be regarded as... enemies!"
