Chapter 227: Water Country (Ch 713587039)

After breaking out of the interception of Konoha’s Anbu, Yi Chen has been using the Light and Heavy Rock Technique to travel at full speed.

The speed of the Light and Heavy Rock Technique is not as fast as the Instant Body Technique, nor as fast as the Lightning Stimulation Technique, but it is better in concealment. Flying at a low altitude, it is not easy to leave traces.

If Uchiha Fugaku followed him directly, Yi Chen was not sure whether he could escape, but for the later Konoha Anbu, it would not be easy to find Yi Chen’s trace after he disappeared for a while.

So after the Konoha Anbu followed him for a while, they completely lost Yi Chen’s whereabouts. In desperation, they had to return to Konoha.

When the news reached Konoha, Yichen had no idea what kind of action Sarutobi Hiruzen would take. Yichen also had no idea what method Uchiha Fugaku would use to deal with the Konoha high-level officials.

Yi Chen was somewhat relieved that Fugaku did not catch up with him. Few people in the ninja world dared to face the Mangekyō Sharingan, whose power was unknown.

In the original novel, Fugaku died without firing a single shot, and the ability and whereabouts of his Mangekyō Sharingan became a mystery.

After confirming that it was safe, Yi Chen went to a village not far from Konoha. This was the base that Yi Chen had set up before entering Konoha. All of Yi Chen’s belongings were placed here.

Although the biggest reliance of a ninja in battle is his own chakra, a good weapon is also part of a ninja’s strength. Yi Chen is not strong enough to dominate the ninja world without external forces.

Now that he was safe for the time being and had all the equipment back in his hands, Yi Chen finally woke up the Uchiha Zaojie that he had knocked out and brought out.

Uchiha Zaojie was still a little confused. After all, he had not officially entered the ninja school yet. He had only received enlightenment education within the Uchiha clan.

Although the education requirements of the Great Ninja Clan are very high, due to his age and experience, Uchiha Sojie has not yet realized that he has been kidnapped.

His memory still lingers on the time when he helped Yi Chen pick up things.

Yi Chen didn’t beat around the bush and said directly: “Uchiha Zaojie, congratulations on being captured by me.”

“Ah?” The little boy was stunned for a moment. He was captured? Why was he captured? Is this a new way to play the ninja game?

It took a moment to react, only to see Uchiha Hayakashi in a defensive posture, saying, “You are not a ninja from the village? Who are you?”

Yi Chen did not laugh at Uchiha’s early abstinence, and said, “My name is Yi Chen, and I am the consultant of the Rock Village in the Land of Earth.”

“The Land of Earth?” Uchiha Zaojie had not systematically studied the history and geography of the ninja world. He had only occasionally heard some things about the ninja world from the elders in his clan.

But since the Uchiha clan has always been facing the Water Country directly, Uchiha Zaojie still knows about the Mist Village in the Water Country.

However, Uchiha Sojie knew very little about the Iwagakure of the Land of Earth, which withdrew from the war early.

Yi Chen was not surprised, this was a fool like Obito. The intelligence clearly stated that this Uchiha Zaojie was not very intelligent or talented in training.

Yi Chen reached out his hand, ignoring Uchiha Zaojie’s resistance, pressed his head and made him sit down. Then he said: “It’s still early, let me tell you about the situation in the ninja world and your situation.”

“There are many countries in the Ninja World, but there are only five major countries, namely the Fire Country, the Earth Country, the Water Country, the Wind Country, and the Lightning Country. Among them, your Fire Country is the most powerful.”

Hearing Yi Chen say this, Uchiha Zaojie showed a proud expression on his face.

Yi Chen continued, “Do you know how the five great nations came about?”

Uchiha Zaojie knew something about this question and immediately said, “It was established by the first Hokage and the ancestor of our Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara.”

Yi Chen nodded and said, “Yes, Konoha Village was indeed founded by the two people you mentioned. They laid the foundation for the rich land of the present Land of Fire.”

“But the two of them only founded Konoha Village. Other ninja villages also have their own heroes. For example, our Iwagakure Village was founded by our first Tsuchikage.”

Uchiha Zaojie seemed to have forgotten that Yi Chen was still an enemy, and nodded as if he understood.

Yi Chen continued: “The first Hokage was Hashirama Senju, the second Hokage was his younger brother Tobirama Senju, and the third Hokage was Sarutobi Hiruzen, the disciple of the second Hokage.”

“Why can’t the position of Hokage be passed to Uchiha Madara, whose contribution is no less than that of Senju Hashirama, and your Uchiha clan?”

Uchiha Hayakashi immediately retorted: “The Fourth Hokage must be our Uchiha. Our clan leader, Lord Fugaku, will definitely become the Fourth Hokage.”

Yi Chen glanced at the excited Uchiha Zaojie and said, “Then do you know why your clan suddenly moved from the center of Konoha Village to the remote corner now?”

Uchiha had stopped talking a long time ago. As a member of the Uchiha clan, how could he not have heard the complaints from the elders in the clan?

After a while, he continued: “Now the village has a misunderstanding about our Uchiha clan, but this misunderstanding will be resolved sooner or later.”

Yi Chen smiled and said, “Then do you dare to make a bet with me? I bet that your misunderstanding will not be resolved, and I bet that the Fourth Hokage will not be Uchiha.”

“Impossible, don’t try to sow discord. I won’t be fooled.” Uchiha Zaojie shouted excitedly at Yi Chen.

Yi Chen used his mind’s eye to scout the surroundings, but found no movement, so he continued, “How about this: you go to our Iwagakure’s ninja school, and when you graduate and become a Genin, if the Fourth Hokage is your Uchiha, or your Uchiha moves back to the center of Konoha, then I promise you that I will let you return to Konoha.”

“But you have to promise me that you will study hard in ninja school and not reveal the identity of the Uchiha clan.”

Originally, Yi Chen wanted to say that if the Fourth Hokage was not an Uchiha and the Uchiha clan did not return to the center of Konoha, then the Uchiha clan would have joined the Rock Ninja long ago. But after a moment’s hesitation, he did not say it.

Uchiha Zaojie was delighted when he heard this. Really? Are you going to keep your word?

Yi Chen nodded and said, “Of course, I won’t lie to a kid like you. Besides, my request is just for you to study. I didn’t ask you to get information about Konoha and the Uchiha clan, nor did I ask you to do anything for the Iwagakure. You didn’t lose anything.”

Uchiha Zaojie hesitated for a moment, then said, “Okay, I promise you.”

Yi Chen smiled in his heart and thought, just agree to it. In a few years, when you graduate, it’s hard to say whether the Uchiha clan will still exist in the ninja world.

Yi Chen created a water clone and went out to get some food.

After dark, Yi Chen used the Light and Heavy Rock Technique on himself and Uchiha Zaojie, and used the Camouflage Technique on himself. Then Yi Chen took Uchiha Zaojie away from the Land of Fire and flew back to the Rock Village.

When Ohnoki heard that Yi Chen had returned, he was a little confused, but when he heard that Yi Chen brought back a child from the Uchiha clan, Ohnoki’s doubts turned into ecstasy.

Ohnoki immediately arranged for the Anbu to give Uchiha Sojie a new identity. Of course, his name couldn’t be Uchiha Sojie anymore, so Ohnoki gave him a name on the spot.

It’s called the Two Days Balance Zhongxing.

Ohnoki gave Uchiha Hayakawa his own surname in the hope that the ninjas and civilians of the Iwagakure would be friendlier to him after hearing his name, so that he would have a sense of belonging to the Iwagakure.

The name Zhongxing is because of the influence of Yichen over the years. Ohnoki also feels that the Uchiha clan will not have an easy time in Konoha. Maybe it will fall, so he hopes that he can rebuild the glory of the Uchiha clan in the Iwagakure.

Uchiha Zaojie, no, now it should be called Tiantian Cheng Zhongxing. He is not fond of this name, but it doesn’t matter, he will change it back sooner or later anyway.

Tian Tian Cheng Zhongxing will be raised by Ohnoki next, and Yi Chen guesses that Ohnoki will brainwash him.

But these have nothing to do with Yichen for the time being. Fearing that Onoki would take the opportunity to keep him in the village, Yichen ran away after explaining his affairs.

Ohnoki’s entire attention is now on the child, Tian Tian Cheng Zhong Xing, and he doesn’t care about Yi Chen’s departure.

After chatting with Zhongxing for a few words and agreeing to the bet between Yichen and him, Ohnoki summoned three consultants and explained the matter to them.

After Yi Chen left the Tsuchikage’s office, he headed straight for the Water Kingdom without stopping.

Among the five major countries, the Water Kingdom is the only island country, consisting of more than a dozen medium and large islands and countless small islands.

The abundant moisture in the Land of Water provides a very suitable environment for the Mist Ninja to practice water jutsu.

This is Yi Chen’s first time to come to the Land of Water. As a ninja with water as his main attribute, Yi Chen likes the environment here very much.

After entering the Land of Water, Yi Chen changed into the attire of a Mist Ninja Anbu.

Yi Chen did not rashly contact the Iwagakure’s spies in the Water Country, because from the information sent back by the spies, they were not aware that Konoha had already taken action.

Yi Chen was afraid that his rash contact with the spies would expose them, and he also felt that the information they had gathered was not comprehensive enough, so Yi Chen decided to do some reconnaissance on his own first.

Yi Chen is not concerned about the progress of the negotiations between the two countries. The senior members of the Rock Ninja who have had experience in peace talks with the Sand Ninja know that if the two countries intend to form an alliance, it will be difficult for others to interfere. Yi Chen is concerned about Konoha, which wants to hide in the dark in this incident.

Before knowing Konoha’s movements clearly, Yi Chen didn’t want to enter the center of the vortex too early.

The meeting point between the two countries was on a medium-sized island belonging to the Kingdom of Water. Because the intelligence showed that the level of contact between the two sides was relatively high, there might be masters or ninjas who were good at reconnaissance. So Yi Chen did not go directly to that island, but first explored the surrounding islands of various sizes.

After running around four or five small islands, Yi Chen noticed something was wrong.

Yichen’s original goal was to find the traces of Konoha ninjas. Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya would not leave any traces for Yichen, but it was impossible for them to leave no traces at all with so many subordinates.

So Yi Chen wanted to look for some movements of Konoha ninjas on the small island on the edge of the Water Country.

But he didn’t meet the Konoha ninja, but Yi Chen met the Mist ninja.

This is the Land of Water. It’s no problem to encounter Mist Ninja, but it would be abnormal to encounter a large group of Mist Ninja.
