Chapter 236: The Mist

Chapter 236: The Mist
Danzo's face froze when he heard this. He didn't expect Hiruzen to be so disrespectful to his 'partner'. At the same time, he began to wonder where the news was leaked.

Could it be that Hiruzen already knew that Shisui died because of him?

The Sandaime withdrew his gaze from Danzo and looked at the Anbu with a gentle and encouraging look, "You did a good job. Go back. If the Uchiha clan has any new actions, please report to me at any time."

"Yes!"

The Anbu nodded, stood up and used the instant body technique to leave the Hokage building.

Danzo's expression softened a bit when he saw this; he was a seasoned political hand and immediately understood Hiruzen's stance.

Although he said this on the surface, Hiruzen did not let the Anbu lift their surveillance on the Uchiha clan. In other words, if the Uchiha clan really did something wrong, Hiruzen would still take action.

However, Danzo felt that the recent changes in the Uchiha clan were indeed very strange, as if someone was directing them from behind.

If he continued to wait, the Uchiha would most likely not rebel with force, as that would not be in his interest, so he was wondering whether he should find a way to add fuel to the fire and force the Uchiha to rebel with force again.

If he didn't destroy the Uchiha clan, he would really not feel at ease. You know, it was he who killed Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Shisui still had one eye in the hands of the Uchiha clan members.

He had no idea of ​​the whereabouts of the eye, and he couldn't even sleep well, for he was afraid that an Uchiha member would appear one day to attack him and use Kotoamatsukami to change his will.

In addition, the hatred between him and the Uchiha clan has almost been laid out on the table. Although the people in the village are not aware of it, the entire Uchiha clan probably hates him, which really makes him unable to sleep or eat.

So after much thought, Danzo felt that it would be best for the Uchiha clan to be destroyed, so that he could take the opportunity to obtain a lot of Sharingan materials.

…………

There are undercurrents in Konoha Village, and there are also turbulent waves in the Hidden Mist Village.

In the early morning, the coastal city was shrouded in thick fog. Ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village were walking through the streets. Many jonin and Anbu were mobilized and entered level one alert.

The strong men gathered towards the Mizukage Building again, including explorers. Some of them had serious expressions, while others seemed to be watching a show.

Inside the Mizukage building, Mei Terumi, Kisame, and a fourth-level explorer were surrounding the Mizukage Yagura Karotachi.

Yagura, who was as short as a boy, was seen covering his face in pain, wailing incomprehensible sounds, and moving backwards, knocking over a lot of furniture.

"Lord Mizukage, please wake up!"

Mei Terumi shouted loudly with a gloomy expression. She didn't expect that what the man next to her said was actually true. Lord Mizukage was actually being controlled all along!
Just yesterday, a man named Yun Lian visited her residence at night and brought Hoshigaki Kisame, one of the Seven Mist Swordsmen, with him to tell her the shocking truth.

That is the Mizukage of their village. Over the years, he has been controlled by the legendary Uchiha Madara with illusions, which is why there are such tyrannies and the villagers of Kirigakure are living in misery.

With a skeptical attitude, she teamed up with Yun Lian and Hoshigaki Kisame this morning to meet with Lord Mizukage.

Taking advantage of the situation, Yun Lian took out something and threw it at Mizukage-sama, which lifted the illusion on Mizukage-sama. Then the situation became what we see now.

After the illusion was lifted, Yagura seemed to be in great pain. What he had done over the years came to his mind, making him feel miserable.

He personally destroyed the village he loved most and drove away so many outstanding ninjas. I'm afraid there has never been any Kage in history who has failed more than him.

After the pain, there followed resentment and hatred, "Uchiha Madara..."

Yagura no longer had any desire to live. He knew that what he had done, even if it was because he was controlled, was enough to make him die on the pillar of shame for the rest of his life.

But before he gave up his position as Mizukage and asked for death, he wanted to do one more thing, which was to make those who once controlled him pay the price.

"Mr. Mizukage, are you awake?"

Yun Lian saw that Yagura's condition had stabilized and spoke with a smile. His attire was out of tune with the people around him. Wearing a Confucian robe, he looked more like a teacher than a ninja.

He is a fourth-level explorer of the Heavenly Path Space. This is his second time in the Naruto world. Some of the previous small arrangements have taken effect. Today, he has lifted the illusion of the Fourth Mizukage and is about to start "closing the net."

As for Akatsuki's response, he was not worried. Based on his understanding of the plot and the current situation in the world, it was impossible for Nagato from Akatsuki to take action.

As long as Nagato didn't move, he thought the others were nothing to worry about.

You should know that the current combat power of the Hidden Mist Village is not weak. It includes Hoshigaki Kisame, who is known as the humanoid tailed beast, Mei Terumi who possesses two bloodline limits, and the Fourth Mizukage Yagura who is the perfect jinchūriki.

With the combat power of the Akatsuki organization at this time, it would be wishful thinking to attack the Hidden Mist Village by force, not to mention that he is also in charge here.

What level of combat power does Yagura have? In the original novel, Biwa Juzo and Uchiha Itachi passed by the Hidden Mist Village and were encountered by Yagura. They fought one to death and one to injury. Itachi was lucky to escape with his life.

This was only because Biwa Juzo risked his life to save them, otherwise both of them would have died at the hands of Yagura.

Therefore, the combat power of the perfect jinchūriki is not just talk, and Yagura was definitely not controlled by an amateur illusion player like Obito, but was controlled by the real Uchiha. Obito was just the one to whom the control was later transferred.

Now that Uchiha Madara is dead, it is no exaggeration to say that Yagura is currently the strongest among the Five Kage. And now Yagura is entangled in guilt and hatred, making it very easy for him to use him.

Yun Lian looked at Yagura with a smile, and thought to himself, before you die of autism, let me help you make use of your remaining energy.

"Mr. Lu, are you leaving now? You are clearly just getting started with the art of immortality."

Goddess Tian Xin was seeing Lu Li off. At this moment, she looked at the man in front of her with admiration in her eyes.

Because it only took Lu Li two days to master the magic of Snake Cave, and his performance was perfect and stable. He was the fastest person she had ever seen to practice magic.

"I still have work to do outside. Come back next time when you have time."

Lu Li said politely that he had completed his immortal arts training mission in Longdi Cave and had received the inheritance crystal reward.

It’s just that Goddess Tian Xin had a misunderstanding about him. What he practiced these two days was not the magic of Longdi Cave, but the Dragon Transformation Art.

In fact, it took him only a few hours to learn the magic of Longdi Cave. In his opinion, it was too simple. He didn't understand why other people who came here to learn magic couldn't learn it. But it was a bit difficult to comprehend the Dragon Transformation Art. Perhaps it was a magic that was far beyond his current stage. It was difficult for him to get started. After two days, he only grasped a little trick.

According to his understanding of the Dragon Transformation Art, it does not mean that by practicing this magic art one will become a dragon-like creature as everyone imagines.

In fact, this is a very advanced practice, and it is marked as suitable for all races. The so-called dragon is just a noun to describe strength.

The shapes of dragons are ever-changing. There are both the image of Eastern dragons in his impression and the varieties of Western dragons. In the ancient legends of his country, there are also different versions of the story of the dragon giving birth to nine sons.

According to the concept of the Dragon Transformation Art, if one really cultivates it to perfection, it will not change one's basic race, but will only gain miraculous power that can traverse the starry sky.

The reason why it is named the Dragon Transformation Technique is because the person who achieved the highest achievement in this practice was a creature that transformed into a dragon.

On the mural, he saw a dragon flying towards the starry sky, which should be the founder of this method.

This discovery made Lu Li understand that the upper limit of the native cultivation methods of this planet was also extremely high. In the ancient times, there were people who walked into the starry sky and were not inferior to the interstellar bandit Otsutsuki clan.

Lu Li has only grasped the basics of the Dragon Transformation Technique, so it is flawed. Therefore, if he uses this magic technique, some dragon-transformation phenomena will appear on his body.

Fortunately, this phenomenon was not too extreme. He tried it once and felt that it had little impact on his appearance, so he decided to continue practicing and give it a try.

After bidding farewell to Tian Xin Shen Ji and White Snake Immortal, Lu Li formed a seal to cancel the reverse summoning technique and returned to Orochimaru's base.

In the temple, the White Snake Immortal looked at the disappearing Lu Li and said faintly, "It seems that he is not the son of prophecy."

"But you also think he's special, don't you?"

Tian Xinshen Ji asked.

"Yeah, he's a kid I can't figure out. I'm sure he'll stir up a huge wave in the ninja world..."

The White Snake Immortal sighed, "Go find Xinya, I have something to ask him."

Tian Xinshen Ji was confused, but she didn't ask any more questions. She got up and set out to find Xinya.

Although Xinya's violence was well-known in Longdi Cave, as one of the elders, she was not afraid that Xinya would eat her.

…………

"Mr. Lu, why are you back so soon?"

Orochimaru looked at Lu Li who had turned back and said with a smile, "How is your training in immortal arts?"

Although he asked this, he actually didn't think Lu Li gained anything, because Lu Li came back too quickly and didn't stay for the full three days.

He estimated that Lu Li might have sensed the danger while practicing the immortal arts, and finally gave up and turned back.

"I've learned it, so why am I still staying in that gloomy place?"

Lu Li explained casually, and took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator in Orochimaru's reception room in a very familiar manner, examined it, and then started drinking it.

"Mr. Lu, you are so humorous. I didn't expect you could joke."

Orochimaru said with a smile, thinking that Lu Li was teasing him.

"What's so funny about this? It's just Sage Mode."

As Lu Li spoke, he absorbed natural energy and entered the sage mode.

His muscles began to swell and fine dragon scales appeared on his body surface. These dragon scales spread upward from the neck and slowly stopped at the cheeks, forming a strange pattern, but with a peculiar beauty.

As the Immortal Mode of Dragon Transformation was activated, Lu Li's attributes soared. This was the normal gain of the Immortal Mode.

However, he was just showing it casually to Orochimaru and did not increase the power of the Sage Mode to its maximum. After absorbing a little natural energy, he stopped transforming into a dragon and cancelled the Sage Mode.

Orochimaru was so shocked by Lu Li's obvious "inhuman" features, and the fact that these features could be controlled at will, that he was speechless.

The facts are before us. It took Lu Li less than three days to learn the magic!
And looking at the way he was able to control himself so easily, he was definitely not some half-baked person who was sometimes effective and sometimes not, but someone who had already really gotten into the know-how!
"Mr. Lu...you are truly a rare genius."

Orochimaru exclaimed, licking the corner of his mouth with his tongue, a kind of desire hidden in his eyes.

Lu Li couldn't stand Uncle Snake's affectionate gaze and said bluntly: "Don't look at me like that. If you want my cells, just ask for them directly."

Orochimaru laughed hoarsely, "Haha, I'm welcome then, Mr. Lu, please give me some of your tissue cells. If you want to achieve research results, I also need to test your compatibility with the primary cells first."

Lu Li had no objection. If Orochimaru wanted to, he could collect his blood from his battle with others.

Lu Li lived in an era when cloning technology was very advanced and had been used for medical purposes by the rich, so he did not care about the outflow of blood cells.

Anyway, he is who he is, and the cloned guy has nothing to do with him. A person's will is never determined by the body.

What's more, he wanted Orochimaru to develop advanced eyes that could suit him. If he didn't give him some samples, what would happen if the research results had a rejection reaction with him?
"Then..."

Lu Li was about to tell Orochimaru some of the 'custom details' he needed, but he sensed the call of the ring.

The same goes for Orochimaru. The Akatsuki ring they wear on their hands is a communication tool that can allow them to be summoned by the organization.

"Mr. Lu, it seems that the organization has a task for us."

Orochimaru said, licking the corner of his mouth.

Lu Li felt the summoning power of the ring and was thoughtful, wondering if he was going to be sent to collect tailed beasts? Or was it a mercenary mission?
