Chapter 185 I struck gold
Onoki had assumed that the Akatsuki organization would wait for him in the same place.
But in fact, Shiba Kiyokawa never stopped his progress!
He didn't wipe out Konoha that day on the mountain because the Akatsuki organization wasn't capable of taking over the entire Land of Fire. If Konoha were to collapse, it would only benefit others.
He never hesitates to take on targets he is capable of handling!
For example—Kusagakure!
Back when Onoki was provoking Kumogakure to plan another war against Konoha, Shiba Kiyokawa had already set his sights on their old friend, Kusagakure.
A few days ago, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion successfully had a white eye transplanted with the help of Hiruko.
On that day, Shiba Kiyokawa set off with half of his troops. On the way, he asked Battalion Commander Chihiro a question.
"How do you feel about your new eyes?"
Chihiro is a female ninja in her early twenties and a veteran of the Akatsuki organization. She has accompanied Yahiko, Nagato, Konan and others all the way, and now she has naturally become a core member of the organization!
She didn't have a particularly deep relationship with Shiba Kiyokawa at first, but now that they've achieved so many victories together, Chihiro has long since become a loyal supporter of Shiba Kiyokawa.
Upon hearing this, she confidently answered.
"I feel great! Better than ever before! The vision in this eye is clearer than I imagined! I really envy Konoha for having such a bloodline limit all this time."
Without needing instructions, she quickly reported the crucial battlefield information.
"At three o'clock, about six kilometers away, there are seventeen grass ninjas."
Judging from their chakra levels, only five are the main force, the rest are genin filling in the gaps, and only one is suspected to be a jonin.
There were no traps around; they hadn't spotted us yet.
Upon hearing this, Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't help but exclaim: "The Byakugan truly lives up to its reputation as the most functional eye technique on the battlefield."
The reconnaissance battalion's being given the cold shoulder was truly like adding wings to a tiger!
"Then, let's get started!"
At Shiba Kiyokawa's command, the Akatsuki members quickly formed ranks and approached silently.
Meanwhile, the Grass Ninja, six kilometers away, were completely unaware of this.
They were still discussing it.
"I never expected Konoha to suffer such a crushing defeat!"
"Isn't that right? They were making a huge fuss about the 'Yellow Flash' before, but now they've really been proven wrong, haven't they?"
"Speaking of which, isn't the Akatsuki organization that defeated Konoha the same group from the neighboring Land of Rain? We think we harassed them not long ago. Will we face retaliation?"
At this point, one of the grass ninja confidently declared, "What's there to be afraid of? We have powerful connections! We're now the lackeys of Iwagakure, who dares to touch us?"
"lackey...that's not a good word, is it?"
The grass ninja who had just spoken jumped up and slapped his companion hard on the head, feeling quite proud of himself.
"What do you know? Even if we're treated like dogs, we're still dogs of the Five Great Ninja Villages! How can we be compared to those wandering ninjas outside?"
The companion who was slapped looked aggrieved.
"But why can't we rely on ourselves like the Akatsuki next door...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped hard on the forehead again.
"Shut up! Don't you even know your own worth? It's already an honor for us to be dogs for the Five Great Ninja Villages, what more do you want?"
Besides, that Akatsuki organization, which provoked the Five Great Ninja Villages, is, in my opinion, doomed!
There are always some people in this world who, after kneeling for so long, become increasingly intolerant of others standing up on their own.
Many people in the Grass Ninja are like this.
Even though the Akatsuki had shattered the legend of the Yellow Flash, some of them still felt that ninjas from small countries were never worthy of being compared to the Five Great Ninja Villages.
Shiba Kiyokawa had little interest in explaining this kind of person.
All he will deliver is the red crosshair marked by the reconnaissance battalion, and the precise ninjutsu roll call that follows!
"Wind Release: Sky Bullet Training!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A barrage of bombardments, accompanied by wind and fire!
This was immediately followed by the unified slogans of the assault battalion—
"Draw your swords and charge!"
The battle ended without any suspense.
Only one ninja survived.
It was that honest, unassuming young man who kept getting slapped on the head by his companions.
The young man looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, which is not young in the ninja world, but he looked very dull and not very bright.
"I heard your conversation. Do you want to be a coward for life, forever a dog for the five great ninja villages, or be your own hero, even if it means facing endless risks?"
Faced with Shiba Kiyokawa's question, the surviving grass ninja boy was momentarily stunned.
"Can...can I choose?"
"Do you still have family in Kusagakure? Or extremely important friends?" Shiba Kiyokawa then asked.
The boy thought for a while before saying, "No, I'm an orphan."
Shiba Kiyokawa laughed. "Then you have a choice."
The reason he paid so much attention to this child was simple: Chihiro had already confirmed with her Byakugan that the child had a considerable amount of chakra reserves, but his combat experience was terrible.
In other words, this is a very good seedling, a rough gem.
"What's your name?" Shiba Kiyokazu asked.
"My name is Wuwei," the orphan of the Grass Ninja Clan replied.
At that moment, despite having a premonition, Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Holy crap, he really struck gold?!
That name... isn't it the name of the main villain from the movie?!
"Wuwei, would you like to come to the Land of Rain?"
Wuwei Muleng pondered for a long time before finally nodding.
In the first battle after the Byakugan came into the hands of the Akatsuki, this eye helped Shiba Kiyokawa discover a treasure with unlimited potential!
What a pleasant surprise!
He then contacted Xiao Nan and sent Wuwei back to the rear.
Like Deidara, he wasn't in a hurry to use these promising talents who hadn't yet truly reached their full potential. Doing so would be a waste of their talents and would also amplify their character flaws.
Let's send him back to China for a while to train him.
This also fills the Akatsuki's future talent pool.
Afterwards, he led his troops on another journey, and within a few days, he swiftly and ruthlessly wiped out all the surrounding Grass Ninja.
On the day that Iwagakure clashed with the three legendary Sannin of Konoha in Hefei, the Land of Fire, Shiba Kiyokawa also arrived at the gates of Kusagakure with the elite forces of Akatsuki.
At that moment, the Grass Ninja seemed to finally recall the fear they had felt when facing a pack of wolves and tigers around them, and the humiliation of being imprisoned in the cracks between great powers!
At this moment, none of the Akatsuki members who were with them felt any sympathy for them.
Not to mention that the expansion and development of the Land of Rain is the long-cherished wish of everyone here, just the experience of Uzumaki Kaoru alone made all the Akatsuki members who knew about it have no good feelings towards the Grass Ninja!
At this moment, facing the gate blocked by Shiba Kiyokawa, Konan, Kaoru, and a group of members, the leader of the Grass Village who came to greet them was actually an acquaintance, someone they had met once when they rescued Kaoru.
The moment this grass ninja saw Kaori Uzumaki, his expression was incredibly interesting; his hands trembled so much he could barely hold his kunai.
He could only tremble as he stepped forward and knelt down before the swirling fragrant leaves with a thud.
"Uzumaki-san, do you think I still have a chance?"
From being regarded as a valuable asset for blood donation to now being respectfully addressed as "Miss Whirlpool";
Seeing the village chief, who had once been high and mighty and had given him a place to stay, now kneeling humbly on the ground begging for his forgiveness.
Looking at everything before her, Kaori was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
