156 The Future of Hidden Rock Village

Konoha, the Hokage's office.

He did not know that there was a war in the Rain Village, but by chance, Orochimaru, who had faked his death, and joined the Akatsuki organization, was reading two pieces of information.

One was from the Land of Rice Fields.

According to the report from the Anbu, although the wandering Ninjas of this land had been recruited by the name of the Land of Rice Fields, they had not proposed the idea of establishing the village.

The so-called sound tolerance was naturally not born.

Seeing this, Yuki did not care anymore.

Originally, he had only had the mentality of trying it and was considered a chess piece during his free time.

It did not matter if there was no harvest.

In any case, this country was here. If they established Ninja Village and named it Hidden Cloud Village, he would no longer need to send people to know the truth about Orochimaru's existence.

Yuki turned his gaze to another piece of information.

It is from Mount Sumeru, the old lair of Hiruko.

Although Konoha's Ninjas did not catch Hiruko here, in any case, they had captured three of his subordinates, as well as a large number of manuscripts regarding the fusion beast experiments and even the Ghost Sprout Art in the palace where Hiruko lived.

He didn't return empty-handed.

However, he didn't get a perfect result after two actions, which puzzled Yuki.

Fortunately, there was a lot of progress in the Rock Village, and both targets were in the same place, so there was a chance to catch them all.

Presumably, the new generation of excellent spies in the Rock Village would not disappoint him.

Yuki smiled and took out a Ninja Information Card from the pile of documents.

On it, a handsome young man wearing round glasses smiled very shyly.

...

In Rock Hidden Village, a Ninja Village surrounded by rocks and mountains, with a strong defence.

However, because of this terrain, this village was much more troublesome to travel with the outside world.

In addition, the whole village was grey, rarely seen green, and occasionally there would be rock rain in the Land of Earth.

Of the five great villages, apart from the Mist Village in this special period, the Rock Village was only in the Sand Village and was ranked second in terms of living and income.

Although the living standards of the villagers in the Rock Village were far behind that of Konoha, and the rich areas like the Hot Water Village, over the years, they gave them an unyielding character and an extremely high team discipline.

In the many times of the Ninja World War, the enemy that most Konoha Ninjas did not want to face was undoubtedly the Rock.

Although the latter was not as strong as Konoha, the cooperation between ordinary Ninjas was very tricky.

On the battlefield, the combined Earth Release Ninjutsu from the tens of thousands of Rock Ninjas left a deep impression on Konoha's Ninjas.

If the Cloud Ninjas were the most powerful force in the previous three battles, then after experiencing a fierce fight with the leader of Konoha, the Rock Ninjas suffered the least loss.

However, at this moment, Onokiwas not in a good mood in the office.

In the battle between Konoha and the Cloud Ninja, although the Rock did not know the whole process in detail, the information collected from all aspects still made him feel deeply anxious.

The 4th Hokage, who had once had the elegant demeanour of Hashirama Senju, was one of the reasons.

But honestly, he had already expected it, so he was not too surprised.

What really made him think about the other members of Konoha who were also dazzling on the battlefield?

For the Ninja Village, it was necessary to emphasize their own strength.

But at the same time, the inheritance was also very important.

This time, Onoki saw Konoha's current strength and its future decades of growth.

Look at the people of Konoha.

Not counting Konoha Sannin, the current strength is not inferior to the former Minami Minato, Kushina Uzumaki, and Shisui Uchiha. The oldest people are only in their twenties, and there is still a long time to reach their peak.

Further down, there were also many talented successors such as Kakashi Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, etc.

In Onoki's opinion, all these things are stronger than the Konoha that ran away from Madara Uchiha back then, only Hashirama Senju.

What about the Rock?

Speaking of which, Onoki was a handful of tears.

Compared to the past, the current Rock Ninja could be said to be green and yellow.

This was also one of the reasons why he had been keen on recruiting people from the underground black market to complete all kinds of dangerous tasks instead of letting the Rock Village Ninja take risks.

He did not want to exhaust all the good seedlings in this regard.

But it was still far from enough to face such a huge monster like Konoha!

Especially after the 4th Hokage stole the power of the Fire Land, it allowed Konoha to develop even faster.

Onoki, who had lived for 60 years, naturally knew the benefits of the 4th Hokage doing this.

But he also knew the serious consequences of his carelessness.

The Earth Land was not the Fire Land, the Rock Village was not Konoha, and Onoki himself was not the 4th Hokage.

He knew that he did not have the ability to do so.

If he really wanted to learn from the 4th Hokage, he would not be able to become a dog, which would definitely cause intense turmoil in the Earth Land.

On the contrary, he had to be firmer in the system of a country and a village to see what Konoha had done, and his heart was gradually relieved of the name of the Earth Land.

Otherwise, if there was a conflict with Konoha in the future, it would undoubtedly be a disaster.

For Onoki, not only did he have to prove his loyalty to his name, but he also had to contact the Mist, the Sand, and even the Cloud Ninja.

In the future, any family of Konoha would never be able to defeat them.

This was also why he didn't take advantage of the situation when he saw the defeat of the Cloud Ninja.

This was the case on the outside, but he needed to dig for more talents on the inside.

For this reason, Onoki deliberately reduced the exchange conditions of Ninjutsu above grade B in Rock Village by a lot.

Thus, now he also welcomed the application of many Rock Ninjas who had met the requirements.

"Not bad! Not only did you become a superior Ninja at the age of seventeen, but you have also contributed a lot to the village's mission. Do you want to exchange for Earth - Heavy Rock? You have ambition! This old man will approve!"

Looking at the application on the table, Onoki was very happy when he finished reading the application of a young superior Ninja called Takano Rock.

He hoped to see more and more young faces appearing in the Rock Ninjas.

Rumble ---

Just as Onoki was happily reading the application, suddenly!

A loud explosion sounded in the village.

Onoki turned around and saw black smoke rising from outside the village through the window.

"Da** Didara!"

Onoki didn't need to guess to know that his apprentice, Didara, definitely caused the explosion in front of him.

He did not know what kind of education this guy had received since childhood, but he knew art.

For this reason, in these years, various kinds of explosions disturbed the villagers of Rock Hidden Village.

The complaints sent to Tsuchikage's office were even higher.

Sure enough, not long after, Didara's junior sister, Onoki's granddaughter, Kurotsuchi, who was still a little girl, rushed in excitedly and excitedly made a small report: "Grandpa! Didara got into trouble again!"

"I already knew!" Onoki said unhappily, "Tell Didara to get lost."

Onoki suddenly paused.

Young people always had a temper.

Especially young geniuses like Didara, who were a few in the village.

If he really forced this kid, he might do something even worse.

Onoki, who was clear about his disciple's character, thought about it for a while, and combined with the current state of the world and the need of the Rock people, he finally changed his words:

"Tell Didara to be more careful next time. In addition, doesn't he want to experiment with his own art? Kurotsuchi, go and tell Didara that the village will arrange a quiet experimental base for him. At the same time, he will provide funding, materials, and other support aspects. Let him improve his strength in the future. The future of Rock Hidden Village needs his help!"

"Ah?"

Hearing his grandfather say this, Kurotsuchi opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

Normally speaking, shouldn't his grandfather capture Didara and then give him a good scolding at this time?

Why didn't you even punish him? Why did you support him?

Did the sun rise from the west?

Or was the grandfather in front of him a fake?

Thinking of this, Kurotsuchi's eyes lit up. His small body directly rushed to the front of Onoki. A tyrant grabbed his beard and pulled it down, "My grandfather will never be like this! Speak! Are you a fake?"

"Ah! Ah! This old man has maintained his beard for a long time!"

In an instant, Onoki's voice sounded in his office.

Then there was a series of cracking sounds and Kurotsuchi's pleading.

The surrounding Dark Group of Earth Shadow looked at everything in front of them in a daze. They were speechless and did not show themselves.

After a long time, when Tsuchikage's office returned to normal.

Onoki stroked his missing beard while staring at his naughty Kurotsuchi and said, "Kurotsuchi, you can remember what I just said and tell Didara."

"Also, Kurotsuchi, you are also at the age of being in the Ninja School. You can't be as naughty as before." When he said this, Onoki's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "As my granddaughter and also a Jie expert in the Lava Blood, you have to learn more about ninja knowledge."

"Now that the world has changed, the future of the Rock Hidden Village needs you young people to support it!"

"I understand, Grandpa!" Although he didn't know the true meaning of the words, seeing his grandfather, who was always happy to joke with him, Kurotsuchi immediately nodded his head.

Soon after, looking at Kurotsuchi's back, Onoki nodded happily and looked out of the window.

The younger generation of Rock Village still needed a long time to grow.

He just didn't know about the village or himself, waiting for the moment to come.
