Chapter 168: Uchiha Feiyu's Plan

"Jiraiya, are you aware of the environmental changes in the Land of Wind lately?"

Regarding Jiraiya's question, Tsunade simply countered with one of her own, and immediately, a look of surprise appeared on Jiraiya's face:

"You're talking about the environmental changes in the Land of Wind... I have actually heard of that. I heard the deserts of the Land of Wind have been managed very well; in just a few years, the green coverage rate has already surpassed that of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning."

"Wait a minute, according to what you're saying, could it be that the rogue Uchiha Feiyu did that? Being able to transform the environment... don't tell me that brat learned Wood Release, and did he inject himself with Hashirama Cell?"

"He didn't really inject much Hashirama Cell, but he is indeed capable of using Wood Release indirectly... When Uchiha Feiyu fled Konoha, he also stole a copy of the sealing arts from Root and learned the Reanimation Jutsu!"

"Reanimation Jutsu?! No way... could it be that guy used the First Hokage..."

A look of astonishment appeared on Jiraiya's face. Tsunade glanced at him with annoyance and said:

"What do you think? Root doesn't lack my grandfather's cells! With the Reanimation Jutsu and the remains of my grandfather's cells, it isn't difficult at all to summon my grandfather!"

"Although the grandfather summoned through the Reanimation Jutsu might not even be as strong as an Elite Jonin, he is definitely capable of being used to transform the natural environment."

"Reanimation Jutsu... now it seems even more suspicious..."

Jiraiya muttered twice, then suddenly looked up:

"In this situation, hasn't Konoha taken any measures against him? We can't just watch the Reanimation body of a Hokage, Hashirama Cell, and those developed Forbidden Techniques all flow into Sunagakure!"

"Heh, it sounds simple, but what should be done in practice? Directly destroy Sunagakure?"

"Uh... sleep in the same bed?! I remember the Fifth Kazekage Pakura is supposed to be a woman, right!"

"That's right, she is a great beauty with a beautiful face and a heroic spirit, and she has a great figure too! Your guess is also correct; they are in that kind of relationship, so you should know why I didn't use a strategy of sowing discord."

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with disdain and retorted:

Jiraiya twitched his mouth; although it is said that one mountain cannot hold two tigers, there is also the second half of the phrase: unless one is male and one is female.

Uchiha Feiyu has indeed brought huge benefits to the Sand Ninja, so it is normal that the Sand Ninja cannot abandon him.

"I'm sorry, according to the intelligence I've obtained, the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure, Pakura, has a very good relationship with him, and they even sleep in the same bed every night."

Now that the Uchiha brat has become the man of the Kazekage, there is no way to sow any discord!

A large hand had already wrapped around her waist from behind, lifting her up directly. By the time she sat down again, the office chair in the Hokage Office already had a human cushion.

"Tsk, the righteous hero arrived really quickly. Tsunade, the words had just left your mouth, and the righteous warrior over here has already rushed over."

Unless... one can bring enough benefits!

Watching Jiraiya leave the Hokage Office after receiving the intelligence, Tsunade finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, then her body suddenly shook.

Jiraiya had to admit that Tsunade's words made a lot of sense. Generally speaking, rogue ninja find it difficult to obtain the protection of other Great Ninja Villages; after all, other villages can hardly guarantee the loyalty of a rogue ninja. Conversely, after taking in a rogue ninja, they would certainly create conflict with the village the ninja fled from, so under normal circumstances, Great Ninja Villages do not take in rogue ninja from other villages.

"Unless Sunagakure is completely destroyed, otherwise, the outflow of these things is almost a certainty."

"Can't we think of a way to sow discord between that Uchiha brat and Sunagakure? After all, the Uchiha brat is not a ninja born and raised in Sunagakure, so Sunagakure shouldn't trust him too much..."

Gently swaying her body, Tsunade only felt a chill in her lower body, followed by a feeling of being filled. Her face immediately turned a rose-red color, and she bit her lip gently, revealing a seemingly painful expression.

"Whether it's ninjutsu or Hashirama Cell, they have already been swallowed by Sunagakure. Even if we ask for them back, the other side will definitely keep copies of the ninjutsu and the newly cultivated Hashirama Cell."

Searching for Uchiha Feiyu was a mission Jiraiya received from the Great Toad Immortal in the first place. Even if Uchiha Feiyu is also an S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha, that is not a reason to drag Konoha into this.

"The only remaining method is a direct frontal assault... I don't want to start a major war with Sunagakure right now!"

"As for taking measures against Uchiha Feiyu, like ordinary assassination methods, unless I send out a Shadow-level assassin, ordinary Anbu are completely useless against him, a Shadow-level ninja who is extremely cautious and afraid of death."

Tsunade waved her hand and said to Jiraiya. Jiraiya's expression was slightly troubled, but he didn't say anything more.

"Alright, I've told you all the intelligence. If you are prepared to do something, then go ahead and do it. Konoha will provide you with all help except for actual assistance."

"Woo... I... how did I know this guy would suddenly come back... you evil Uchiha brat, don't go too far."

"Heh heh... you already said I'm an evil Uchiha brat, can I not go too far?"

One of Uchiha Feiyu's hands reached into her clothes, climbing the peaks. Tsunade trembled violently and had to put her hand into her mouth to bite down hard.

"See if I don't punish you severely this time! You disobedient milk cow!"

"Woo ah..."

After thoroughly punishing Tsunade for talking nonsense, Uchiha Feiyu used the Flying Thunder God Technique again and arrived at Sunagakure.

The Great Toad Immortal instructed Jiraiya to say that he was the culprit behind the destruction of the Ninja World; Uchiha Feiyu would naturally not let it go just like that.

Honestly, if the Great Toad Immortal hadn't pulled this stunt, Uchiha Feiyu really wouldn't have remembered that these three great sacred places are also excellent leeks. But this time, the Great Toad Immortal's actions completely reminded Uchiha Feiyu.

Ryuchi Cave and such are, after all, his own Summoned Beasts. Although he hadn't used the Summoned Beasts of Ryuchi Cave except for devouring the souls of some great snakes, there was still some lingering sentiment, and he didn't plan to lay a hand on those great snakes that already possessed self-awareness.

The Slug Immortal of Shikkotsu Forest is a Summoned Beast that hasn't left its place in thousands of years in the entire Ninja World, and basically won't affect Uchiha Feiyu's plans.

Plus, Tsunade is now Uchiha Feiyu's most valued Cauldron; considering her feelings, letting that Slug Immortal off is no big deal.

But the Great Toad Immortal is in cahoots with the Sage of Six Paths. It's not that Uchiha Feiyu has any opinion about the Sage of Six Paths; it's just that their positions are different.

Regardless of what thoughts the Sage of Six Paths held, spreading chakra, creating the Pure Land, and making his two sons reincarnate endlessly—whether it was a conspiracy theory or a coincidence—the Sage of Six Paths did indeed save the world in the past, and he hasn't interfered much with the development of the Ninja World recently. In this respect, he definitely did more good than harm to the living beings of the Ninja World.

However... the Sage of Six Paths is a savior, but Uchiha Feiyu is a Great Demon King!

Not to mention that he absorbed the chakra of Ashura and Indra like cutting vegetables, erasing the traces of the Sage of Six Paths' two sons, which is a significant personal grudge.

The key issue is—Uchiha Feiyu is also drooling over the Pure Land guarded by the Sage of Six Paths, wishing he could refine all the Soul Origin!

That is the final destination for the souls of countless lives in the Ninja World over thousands of years. Even if ordinary souls cannot withstand thousands of years of erosion and gradually dissipate, the current soul storage in the Pure Land is more than ten times the total of all lives in the Ninja World combined.

Furthermore, the more powerful the soul, the longer it can be maintained. If calculated purely by soul energy rather than quantity, the soul energy in the Pure Land is at least several dozen times that of reality.

Whether the Sage of Six Paths is a savior or a conspirator who transformed over a long period of time, it is impossible for him to watch Uchiha Feiyu refine all the souls in the Pure Land. Both sides will definitely have a battle in the end!

Since that's the case, then the Great Toad Immortal, who is in cahoots with the Sage of Six Paths, is naturally his enemy. Directly treating the other party as a leek to be harvested is a matter of course for Uchiha Feiyu.

"The Great Toad Immortal's strength shouldn't be weak, but it can't be that strong either. Otherwise, when the Otsutsuki descended back then, these monsters and ghosts wouldn't have dared to let out a fart, only daring to instigate things in secret."

"I estimate it's at most the strength level of Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha back then. Considering the age factor, it should shrink a bit."

"The biggest trump card that old toad has is likely the ability to communicate with the Sage of Six Paths, so when dealing with that old toad, I might even run into the Sage of Six Paths!"

However, Uchiha Feiyu is not worried. He definitely couldn't beat the Sage of Six Paths in his prime, but the current Sage of Six Paths is only a soul body.

Even if I overestimate it, and the Sage of Six Paths has already seen through life and death and can exert his prime strength in a soul state, for Uchiha Feiyu, as long as the opponent is a soul, there is absolutely no possibility of defeat.

After all... apart from the White Fang Sword Technique, what Uchiha Feiyu is best at is the Spirit-Binding and Soul-Commanding! Unless it is a freak who is truly hundreds of times stronger than him, a pure Soul can never escape his control.

And as for being hundreds of times stronger than him... at least in the Naruto World, Uchiha Feiyu cannot find such a monster.

Uchiha Feiyu even looks forward to encountering the Soul of the Sage of Six Paths at Mount Myoboku; if he could control the Soul of the Sage of Six Paths, even if Uchiha Feiyu were not prepared to continue advancing on the path of chakra, he could still obtain huge gains from it.

Moreover, this would also save him the trouble of searching for the Pure Land... The three great sacred sites are already hidden very well, and as for the Pure Land that contains all Souls, Uchiha Feiyu simply cannot find where it is; if he directly captures the Sage of Six Paths, he won't have to worry about not being able to find the entrance to the Pure Land.

Land of Wind, Sunagakure.

Sunagakure is now a small oasis city.

As the Land of Wind has undergone afforestation through Wood Release, the environment has become better and better, and the national income of the entire Land of Wind has also increased significantly.

Coupled with the fact that the nobles and Daimyo of the entire Land of Wind are now controlled by Uchiha Feiyu, who fully supports the development of Sunagakure, the current Sunagakure is no longer that ninja village huddled in a canyon, but a small city not much smaller than Konoha.

Among the current Five Great Nations, the Land of Wind is the first to implement the Universal Chakra Plan; even before implementing the Universal Chakra Plan, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind had already produced quite a few troops possessing chakra.

Although most of the army that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind painstakingly pulled together has been wiped out by Uchiha Feiyu, the Chakra Refining Technique had actually already spread throughout the Land of Wind long before that.

In terms of absolute numbers, the Land of Wind still cannot compare to the Land of Fire in people possessing chakra, but there is a group of civilians who have practiced for quite some time; after completely opening the gates, Sunagakure also selected several thousand young people from these civilians to serve as ninja.

Walking in this oasis city, Uchiha Feiyu looked at the vibrant Sunagakure and could not help but nod:

"Developing quite well..."

"Right! Nowadays, the number of ninja in our ninja village has completely recovered to the peak period of the past!"

Carrying a faint pride, the one speaking is none other than the current Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure, Pakura.

There is a mysterious connection between a Cauldron and its master; the closer the relationship and the more important the Cauldron, the deeper this connection is, so after Uchiha Feiyu just arrived at Sunagakure, Pakura sensed his arrival.

"Mm-hmm... It seems that in another two years, the leeks of Sunagakure will be about ready to be harvested..."

Uchiha Feiyu's words, spoken without thinking, made the expression on Pakura's face stiffen; she gave him a resentful look and said in a low voice:

"Feiyu, can't you coax me a little? I am the Kazekage of Sunagakure, after all!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Uchiha Feiyu said softly:

"Those deceptions are meaningless... Not to mention that although I treat the ninja of several ninja villages as leeks, the losses actually brought about are really not comparable to a Ninja World War!"

At least when Uchiha Feiyu harvests leeks, he harvests those ninja who are already adults; he would not harvest those underage children, and he even tries his best to ensure that those he harvests are ninja in their 40s with no potential.

And the Ninja World War... let's just talk about the last Ninja World War; after that war, Konoha only had a little over 2,000 ninja left, and in reality, nearly half of those 2,000-plus ninja were actually little ninja who had graduated late.

In the last Ninja World War, the number of Konoha ninja was close to 20,000! In other words, the surviving ninja didn't even amount to 1/10!
