Chapter 424 Goddess Cult and Apology
A thousand kilometers away from Konoha.
It was still the same cave.
White Zetsu, who possessed the consciousness of Otsutsuki Yamei, said in a low voice: "It seems that your son has successfully gained the trust of Ishiba Misaki."
The old man opposite exhaled lightly: "I believe in the ability to rectify the name. Moreover, for thousands of years, we have been completely integrated into the Goddess Cult, and have always really taken it as our mission to rescue the Goddess. Only a few people know the true situation of the sect.
Even if Ishiba Misaki is suspicious, he will never be able to find our flaws!"
He looked at White Zetsu and said: "Lord Yamei, the Five Kage should have surrendered, right? I wonder what their next plan is?"
"Kaguya's will body has been circling nearby, and my clone cannot get too close." White Zetsu said: "After all, these bodies are just ordinary people who I casually affected with divine arts when Kaguya used the Infinite Moon Reading. They are extremely weak.
From what I heard, their first target is probably Otsutsuki Ichigo, who is called the second barrel by the current ninja world. "
"Second barrel... Wind Country?"
" Ah, go give them a surprise. "
The old man was silent for a long time before he said, "Lord Yame, please forgive me. We have come to this point. If we make a mistake, we will be doomed! May I ask you what your purpose is? Even the second-cylinder Otsutsuki Ichigo is an inferior in your mouth, and we are even more like ants! Why..."
"Why do you want to take you as a subordinate?"
"Game." Bai Zetsu smiled and said, "It's interesting to watch the fight between ants occasionally, and I'm afraid I won't have such interest in the future.
Do you know? I was actually very surprised when Otsutsuki Kaguya teamed up with her sons to seal me up. The chakra fruit formed on this planet is different. I am very sure that when I eat Kaguya's chakra, I will be able to become a god!"
He suddenly changed his self-proclaimed name from "I" to "I", and his tone also added some mechanical metal feeling, as if he stood in another higher-dimensional space and finished his words with a overlooking attitude.
The old man's face changed: "... God?"
White Zetsu's demeanor and tone returned to normal: "You don't need to understand, you just need to know that by that time, I will no longer be interested in this planet that has been drained of energy once. You can become the master of this planet, and you can become the "Daimyo" who unifies this world? Ha, get everything you want.
Oh, are you worried that I will kill you at will? Maybe? Maybe not? It depends on how I feel at that time."
"Maybe not? That's enough."
The old man was silent, stood up and bowed: "Facing a god like you from the Otsutsuki clan, , we are struggling for our lives, please give us your orders!"
...
"Oh, is the headquarters in the Kingdom of Hot Springs?"
In the Fire City, Ji Xing said to Jian Gu Zhengming with a little reminiscence: "It was originally one of the three cities under the jurisdiction of the Fire City. I remember that there was a powerful god - the evil god.
It and the God of Death are the representative powerful gods when the Star Country just took the gods into management. One resisted vigorously, and the other joined honestly. The evil god was the one who resisted vigorously.
Later, Kaguya personally took action and wiped it out. At that time, there was also an evil god cult that believed in it. It must have disappeared after a thousand years. "Jian Gu Zhengming responded: "The god They have all perished, so the sect must have naturally collapsed. I seem to have heard the name of the evil god mentioned by Ao Shen... Well, it was also when I was a child. "
Ji Xing nodded: "Yes. Well, I understand the general situation of the Goddess Cult. It just so happens that the Kingdom of Tang is basically under your control. Next, go to Yu Xing and tell him that it is my intention to bring the Kingdom of Tang under the governance of the Fire City.
The five major countries will not move for the time being, but these small buffer countries born in the cracks between the major countries do not need to exist to avoid unnecessary trouble. "
"Yes! The first daimyo!" Seeing Gu Zhengming bowed and left, when he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Ji Xing say : "Wait a minute!"
He stopped, turned smoothly, bowed again and asked: "Do you have any other instructions?"
"Ah, I almost forgot." Ji Xing said: "There is another thing raised at the meeting. Next, I will conduct special training for the strong men of the five major countries for a period of time, as a preparation for war. You should be qualified to participate. Bring the child named Fei Duan with you. Do you have any other recommendations?"
"Well... If Fei Duan is used as the standard, there should be a few more people in the sect..."
"Then forget it."
"Yes!"
Seeing Gu Zhengming turn around again, he heard Ji Xing's call again: "Wait a minute!"
He paused slightly, turned around and lowered his head. "You just said that you grew up in the Goddess Church since childhood. The last leader of the Goddess Church was your father. Now the people in the Goddess Church are basically recruited by your father bit by bit over the past few decades?"
"Yes, my father worked hard and devoted his whole life to develop the Goddess Church to its current scale. I am just the successor."
Ji Xing nodded slightly: "Did he die of illness a few years ago? What is his name?"
"Jiya Danzo."
Ji Xing smiled: "Okay, I remember his name. When Kaguya is rescued, his name will be recorded in the history books as a meritorious service of the Star Country."
Jiya Zhengming was stunned, with a look of surprise on his face: "I thank the first Daimyo on behalf of my father!"
"I should thank you father and son, and thank the ancestors who have been sticking to the Goddess Church." Ji Xing waved his hand: "Okay, it's okay this time."
Jian Guzhengming finally resigned successfully, walked to the courtyard, turned to the Daming Mansion, and was far away from Ji Xing, and he felt relieved in his heart.
‘He is truly a legend and it’s hard to breathe with him. Fortunately, I have been rehearsing for a month and my performance was flawless! ’
…
On the other side, seeing Gu Zhengming leave, Taketori Issei and Tsunade came to find Ji Xing.
"Lord Ancestor, is the Goddess Cult that suddenly appeared credible?" Taketori asked directly.
"Let's just believe it for now." Ji Xing replied: "After all, it has been a thousand years, and there are not many people in the ninja world who can trust wholeheartedly."
"Onoki should be fine." Tsunade said: "I have never seen him show such a posture. He is worthy of being an ancestor."
What age? Tsunade knew best that that was probably just an excuse. Before the meeting between the Five Shadows, the ancestors specifically asked Konoha for detailed information on the Five Shadows, down to who did what in each war, and then read through it.
In the end, she would never have thought of using Onoki's smelly and hard old guy as a breakthrough point, and after just a few words, she really succeeded!
It even touched everyone.
From recovery to the present, it has only been more than a month, and the ninja world has been roughly twisted into a rope. This is definitely not something that can only be achieved by having the status of ancestors and strong strength. Identity and strength can suppress people, but they cannot Make people feel convinced.
"Okay, don't look like you are praising us. You have something to do next." Ji Xing said, "Your performance today was not bad. The gambling money you lost to Jiu Lama and me yesterday afternoon will be waived. I will give you three more arrears." All debts will be forgiven.”
Tsunade was startled and felt a little happy. Then I could confidently and boldly compete with my ancestors and the stinky fox three times in mahjong!
Uh...the joy suddenly faded.
"Lord Ancestor, I..."
Ji Xing nodded to express his understanding, then looked at Zhutori and said, "I have heard about the chaos in Wuyin Village. How are you going to solve it?"
Zhutori smiled crookedly.
"Those rebels? It just so happened that this time with the help of the ancestors, we killed all their leaders in one fell swoop. Once I kill them all, there will be no more noises in Kirigakure Village!"
Ji Xing raised his eyebrows and looked at him quietly.
Zhutori Yice's smile gradually stiffened.
Tsunade laughed.
…
Some time later, Terumi Mei, who was young and in her early 20s, suddenly woke up from a coma in a guest room of Daming Mansion.
With an alert look on her face, she jumped to the nearest corner, made sure that she could use chakra without restraints on her body, and then looked around her.
Before... we seemed to have been knocked unconscious by an incredibly skilled... Konoha ANBU?
Konoha ANBU? !
As soon as the somewhat ridiculous expression appeared, it immediately turned into a look of alarm as the door opened, and the figure revealed under the shadow of the sun smiled ferociously.
"Take a policy! Where are the others?!"
Taketori didn't answer, and said stiffly: "Terrumi Mei, I'm here to apologize to you. In the past, I oppressed you and others when I was governing Kirigakure Village, and the Taketori clan has acted too arrogantly. In the past few decades, I have After all, our fight has left Kirigakure Village weak. I hope we can resolve our past grievances and work together to build Kirigakure Village even better!"
The voice was robotic, as if he was reciting lines.
His movements were as stiff as if someone were pressing his head.
Terumi Mei slowly revealed a ridiculous expression.
"……ha???"
What conspiracy is this? !
On the other side, Obito's mood is not as stable as Terumi Mei's, and is even more messy.
His experience is slightly different from the original work. The difference is that now he is sincerely cooperating with Uchiha Madara, and sincerely wants to revive Madara, and then go together to rescue the goddess and end the war.
But...you should tell me directly.
Why do you need to use Lin to force me? !
The most... the most I can do is return to Konoha and cooperate with you secretly?
And there is actually a conspiracy behind Madara, which even involves the first generation daimyo.
And the first-generation daimyo was brought directly back from another space by Nagato's psychic technique, which made us suspicious for a long time.
No wonder……
Messy, very messy.
When Ji Xing opened the door and walked in, he looked at Ji Xing with a very tired expression. Ji Xing looked at Kakashi and asked Hei Zetsu: "Have you apologized?"
"Yes, Father." His Highness Hei Jue's mood was not too high.
Ji Xing touched its head and said, "Everyone must be responsible for what they do. You don't have to do whatever it takes to make amends if you have any reasons, hatred, or goals. Apologizing is only the first step to make amends."
"Yes, I understand, Father!" Black Zetsu turned around and said again: "Uchiha Obito, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have used you like that!"
Obito raised his head half-way, ignored it, and wanted to yell and curse a few words, but stopped when he got to his mouth.
The first generation daimyo, the first ninja, a legendary figure. He was included in every exam in the ninja school. I also admired him, but now let me...
Ji Xing looked at him and said: "Uchiha Obito, you also have to atone for causing the chakra explosion in Uzumaki Kushina's body six years ago. She has nothing to do with you, right?"
Obito remained silent.
"Next, you will be imprisoned in Konoha Prison until Kaguya escapes and Nohara Lin is resurrected to visit. The follow-up will be decided. Do you have any objections?"
"...Lin?" Obito's expression finally relaxed.
Ji Xing smiled and said, "The previous life was a mess and cannot be changed. The only thing you can decide is the future. It's up to you to meet Nohara Lin with full spirits or to meet her with a dull and disheveled appearance like this."
Obito half opened his mouth and lowered his head.
Kakashi extended his hand to him.
It will be in the next chapter, but the time is not sure. I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day!
