In the original timeline, the Hidden Cloud Village didn't attack the Hidden Mist Village because it had just made peace with the Hidden Leaf Village and had also kidnapped Hinata.
The fog-shrouded area is inherently closed off.
Kumogakure was unaware that Yagura had committed suicide and that Isobu was already dead.
Yagura is recognized as the perfect Jinchūriki, and his combat prowess is unquestionable on the battlefield.
The outside world was completely unaware of Rokuo Utaka's escape.
I thought Kirigakure had two Jinchuriki who were Tailed Beasts.
The Hidden Cloud Village also has Jinchuriki with Tailed Beasts, but their attention is entirely focused on the Hidden Leaf Village.
Having just ended the war with Konoha, Kumogakure was still afraid of Konoha's retaliation.
Under Mei Terumi's rule, Kirigakure recovered some of its strength, and only then did news of Yagura's death spread.
At that time, the Xiao organization was already in action.
With the Jinchūriki of Kumogakure, Kito, already captured, and the Eight-Tails also a target, Kumogakure naturally cannot afford to be distracted by invading other countries.
……
5.4 Although Konoha is stronger in this era, its deterrent power has weakened.
The conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha clan was known to almost the entire ninja world.
Konoha needs to guard against internal troubles within the Uchiha clan, so it cannot launch large-scale attacks or provide assistance to other ninja villages.
Kawasaki could tell from Samui's reaction that his previous fears were probably about to come true.
Faced with this situation, Kumogakure will definitely take action against Kirigakure.
Rather than letting the Cloud Village cause trouble in secret, Kawasaki should lend them a hand and make them believe that the Uchiha are also plotting to expand their territory.
In this way, the Hidden Cloud Village could almost easily conquer the Land of Water with its superior combat power.
Whether the Cloud Village will share the spoils of war with the Uchiha clan afterwards is uncertain.
However, the Uchiha clan won't follow the Cloud Village's usual path; instead, they might lend a hand to the Mist Village. As for how they do it, they'll have to profit from it.
This brings us to an organization that specializes in this kind of work.
That is “Xiao”.
The most powerful force at present is the Cloud Village. Only by dealing them a heavy blow can we make them curb their aggressive intentions.
...
Next, Kawasaki went to see the people from Iwagakure. This time, quite a few people from Iwagakure came.
Besides the leaders Huang Tu and Hei Tu, they also brought fifteen bodyguards.
After all, the earth-escape techniques of Iwagakure only show their power when there are many people involved.
Changing the terrain quickly is easy for them.
Only Huangtu and Heitu entered the meeting room.
Huang Tu was 2.17 meters tall, with a big nose, a full beard, and a body as thick as a wall, making him exceptionally robust.
Heitu is still young now, unlike how she will look more than ten years later, wearing a high-slit cheongsam and showing off her long legs.
Now she's wearing shorts with fishnet stockings.
Kawasaki can only be described as far too conservative!
Both of them are direct descendants of Onoki, so it is reasonable for them to come together.
Kawasaki repeated what he had said to Sunagakure to Yoto, and then took out a letter.
"Please give this letter to Onoki. It contains a collaboration proposal. If he is interested, please remember to contact me."
Chapter 118 Mei Terumi! Kawasaki makes his move! Orochimaru is in trouble! Anko! Kabuto!
Kawasaki was good at judging people by their words, and didn't say much to the Iwagakure group, as some things weren't suitable to be told to the two people in front of him.
After receiving the letter, Huang Tu did not linger and left with Hei Tu.
The situation between Konoha and the Uchiha clan is complex, while the emerging Land of Rice Fields' Otokage is merely a puppet of the Uchiha.
As for Kawasaki's letter to Onoki, Huangtu didn't think it was more important than this intelligence.
...
After seeing off the people from Iwagakure, Kawasaki picked up his pen and wrote another letter to Mei Terumi.
The revelation of forming an elite team will surely be understood by Mei Terumi.
......
Everyone else left, leaving only Kabuto Yakushi.
Since they are family, we naturally don't treat each other with the same formality as we would with others.
"You acted quite well," Kawasaki praised immediately.
The pharmacist pushed up his glasses: "It's not really acting; I'm telling the truth."
Kawasaki nodded. Although Yakushi Kabuto had not returned all these years.
However, through the Uchiha clan, he continued to donate to the orphanage, showing that he remembered everything from the past.
"I didn't expect it would take you so long to learn Sage Mode."
Kawasaki sat down, pulling on his pocket.
"Lord Kawasaki, I've already practiced very quickly. If I go any faster, I'll have to take shortcuts."
He shook his head. Cultivating Immortal Mode was no easy feat; he was considered one of the faster learners.
Kawasaki's thoughts were in turmoil. Was transforming into a snake a quick fix? It seemed like the White Snake Sage was about to infuse him with natural energy through his snake fangs.
But now is not the time to discuss this.
"We'll discuss this later. Are you aware that Orochimaru has health problems?"
"What?" Dou was shocked.
"What's wrong with Lord Orochimaru's health?"
It seems Orochimaru didn't even tell Kabuto.
"Don't be nervous, Orochimaru has his own way. We'll contact him later."
Although it is now just a shadow of a village.
However, upon hearing that Orochimaru had health problems, Kabuto was still somewhat flustered, but he calmed down after being comforted by Kawasaki.
"What have Orochimaru and you been busy with all this time?"
Kabuto frowned: "Recently, Lord Orochimaru asked me to use his cells to cultivate clones, saying it was for your use."
Kawasaki nodded; this clone was originally intended for Minato.
These artificially created clones have short lifespans and may even die suddenly.
However, it is an excellent vessel for the Impure World Reincarnation, and now is not the time for White Zetsu to roam around.
Sometimes, live sacrifices are not easy to find.
"Lord Orochimaru has gone to research the Fifteen Reaper Death Seals. He said he had made some progress and told me to come first, and he would arrive shortly after."
Kawasaki squinted, wondering how Orochimaru planned to resolve this trouble.
"Contact Orochimaru immediately and find out where he is now."
"Yes! Kawasaki-sama!"
Kabuto bit his finger and began to perform a summoning jutsu.
......
A secluded place dozens of miles away from Konoha.
This place was once an abandoned base of Orochimaru.
Several years ago, when Orochimaru was conducting experiments, he built bases in various places.
The research projects at each base are also different.
But later, Orochimaru was "kidnapped" by Kawasaki, and many bases were gradually abandoned.
Orochimaru had just figured out a way to break the Reaper Death Seal when his health suddenly deteriorated.
So they decided to rest and recuperate at this abandoned base first.
"Lord Orochimaru, would you like some more treatment?" Karin asked Orochimaru, raising her snow-white arm.
"Huff...huff..." Orochimaru panted twice: "Karin, I'm fine, I just need to rest for a while."
Karin has strong healing abilities, but she is powerless against rejection by souls.
Orochimaru received Kabuto's message yesterday and sent him the solution.
Now we just need to wait.
Kimimaro pushed open the door to the outer room and walked in.
"Lord Orochimaru, Lord Kawasaki has succeeded as the new head of the Uchiha clan."
"The Third Hokage personally went to the Uchiha clan to apologize and granted Fugaku the position of Honorary Elder."
"But Danzo escaped from prison, with Obito and Zetsu's help."
Orochimaru leaned against the bed: "I understand. Was the person we captured a member of Root?"
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, he must have escaped during the chaos when Jiraiya attacked Root."
"However, he is very ill now and I'm afraid he won't last much longer."
"Huff...huff...let him be."
......
In a room inside the base.
Bai Zheng fed some medicine into Xin's mouth.
