"Failed..." He murmured elegantly while sitting at the head seat at the long table.
It had been half a month since he sent Kinoshita Tsukasa to attack Konoha, and during this half month, Kinoshita Tsukasa had not contacted him once.
There is no doubt that this is a very abnormal thing.
Even if there was no chance to take action, Kinoshita Tsukasa would have reported this information to him instead of leaving it at that.
Isshiki lowered his head slightly, put his right hand on his forehead, and fell into thought.
The current situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.
On one hand, Darcy brought information about the super powerful ninja village, and on the other hand, Sugiyama Minato beat up the current Kazekage, almost killing him and leaving calmly. In the end, Kinoshita Tsukasa, who was freed by him, disappeared during the mission.
Three attempts, three completely different results, which made Yishi a little confused.
They are all ninja villages, so why is there such a big difference between them? It would be fine if there was an accident with the newly established small ninja village, Shinobi Village, but hasn't the Sand Village always been one of the top five ninja villages at the same level as Konoha? Why is there such a big difference in the results
The essence of the wedge is actually the backup data that the Otsutsuki clan prepared for themselves, and then they injected the wedge into other people's bodies to resurrect and achieve eternal life, so the wedge records the powerful strength of the Otsutsuki clan.
Isshiki felt that although Darcy and the others were the accidental products of a failed experiment, they were not complete failures in the true sense, because Darcy and the others just did not inherit the consciousness data, and only had pure power.
In other words, even if the wedges on Darcey and the other two were completely thawed, Isshiki could not be resurrected. The three of them would just become new Otsutsuki with all of Isshiki's original power.
That's why Isshiki tampered with their bodies and limited their strength to the level of Kage at best.
Isshiki was afraid that he would be stabbed in the back again. Even if those cadres respected him as if he were a god, he would not completely trust them.
If it weren't for the fact that Kinoshita Tsukasa didn't have long to live, Isshiki wouldn't have helped him remove the restrictions and allowed the wedge in his body to continue to thaw.
However, it was unexpected that Kinoshita Tsukasa failed in the mission like this. You must know that before the restrictions were lifted, Kinoshita Tsukasa was stronger than Sugiyama Minato and was the strongest among the three cadres.
Sugiyama Minato was able to injure the Kazekage severely and then leave calmly, while Kinoshita Tsukasa, whose strength had greatly increased after his restrictions were removed, went to Konoha but seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
At this time, the danger of Konoha was increasing in Isshiki's mind, and he was a little confused about the situation in the ninja world.
The actual strength of the Sand Village, one of the five major ninja villages, is not as good as the newly established small ninja village, Hikari Ninja Village, and Konoha's strength is not on the same level as that of the Sand Village, which is also one of the five major ninja villages.
Is it that the Sand Village is too weak, or that Konoha and the Light Village are abnormal? Isshiki is no longer able to figure it out.
There was even a moment when he suspected that the three major cadres had all defected and were preparing to rebel, and that the information they had given him was all false.
However, Yishiki felt that it shouldn't be that outrageous. It would be too outrageous for three people to rebel at the same time. At most, there would be only one.
But Isshiki had no other choice now. He couldn't do it himself unless the experiment was successful and he found someone who could carry his wedge.
In his current state, if he takes action himself, he will only lose his status. He cannot create good results without using his strength, and if he uses all his strength, it would be tantamount to suicide.
To make matters worse, he now only has two of the three major cadres left, and the missing one is the strongest.
He even had to worry about whether Kinoshita Tsukasa's actions would attract Konoha's attention.
Ishiki suddenly felt like everything was going wrong.
"I need more capable and powerful people to work for me." Yishiki felt that he should strengthen his power even more at this moment.
The previous Isshiki had been hiding in the deep mountains and forests, and even the organization of River Country was casual.
Because he has never looked down upon the natives of this planet.
Although Isshiki would not say it, nor did he look at his subordinates with contempt, he thought so in his heart, and did not show it only because he wanted to maintain the elegance of a noble Otsutsuki.
But at this moment, Yishi really felt that he needed a powerful organization to do things for him.
Three cadres are too few. He needs more capable and powerful people to work for him, and then use the organization to find people who are qualified to succeed him.
Isshiki thought for a long time about how he could complete his plan without using too much strength.
He suddenly thought of a point. It was just a backward indigenous planet. Both their practice and their technology were far behind the Otsutsuki clan.
Although the Otsutsuki clan is a clan that advocates individual strength, they are the overlords of the starry sky after all. Although their technology cannot compare with those starry sky forces that specialize in developing technology, it is also at the level of starry sky technology. I don't know how far they are ahead of Konoha.
However, there are still some memories of science and technology in Yishi's memory.
It just so happens that the ninja world has now ushered in peace. A peaceful situation will to a certain extent increase technological exchanges among countries, thereby advancing scientific and technological levels.
If he came up with technological concepts and products that far surpass current ones at this time, he should be able to attract many people to join his organization and work for him.
But before that, Isshiki needs to carefully investigate the current level of technology in the ninja world. He wants to come up with the appropriate one, not the best one.
Of course, he couldn't bring out the best, as cutting-edge technology couldn't be created with just the knowledge of theory.
Maybe these technological products meant nothing to him during his heyday, but for the current ninja world, Isshiki felt that these were definitely products that could change the landscape of this indigenous planet.
…
"This...is this Konoha?" Gaara opened his eyes wide and looked at the huge and magnificent wooden walls of Konoha, his mouth slightly open, obviously a little surprised.
Along the way, Gaara saw many scenes that could not be seen in the Sand Village.
In the Sand Village, the color Gaara saw most was yellow. The buildings of the houses and the vast desert outside were all yellow.
As for the Land of Fire, Gaara's impression was green. He saw so many forests along the way, as if the Land of Fire was covered with big trees with lush branches and leaves everywhere.
"Remember this well, maybe it will be demolished in the future." Nagase smiled and touched Gaara's little head.
The wall of Konoha completely surrounds Konoha, and only the gate of Konoha can lead out.
According to Nagase's plan, Konoha will continue to develop and expand, so it is only a matter of time before this huge wooden wall that has protected Konoha for decades is demolished.
As for when it will be demolished, that depends on the speed of Konoha's development.
However, Nagaze could already imagine the scene during the meeting, and the two consultants would definitely strongly oppose his move.
Nagase could guess the reason, it must be something like "This wall is to protect Konoha. Demolishing Konoha will greatly reduce its security and make it easier to infiltrate."
Gaara nodded as if he understood, but in fact he didn't quite understand why Nagase said that.
"You want to tear this down? I'm afraid it's not that easy." Tsunade teased. She also knew the character of some of Konoha's high-ranking officials.
To put it nicely, he is conservative; to put it bluntly, he is a decadent old thing.
If the medical ninja plan had not been repeatedly frustrated, Tsunade would not have run away in anger.
He had seen too many casualties on the battlefield, even her brother had died on the battlefield, so she came up with the medical ninja plan.
However, it was severely refuted and could not be implemented.
Later, her boyfriend died on the battlefield, and Tsunade proposed again, but the result did not change much.
With Tsunade's temper, she just slipped away and refused to play with them.
"Times have changed. It's no longer the era where they can just say no and it's no." Nagaze said with a confident smile.
Tsunade curled her lips and said, "Hokage Fuzusa is amazing. He speaks so confidently. No wonder they are competing to be the Hokage."
"You actually had a chance. If you hadn't run away at that time, perhaps you would have been the Hokage." Nagase said.
He wasn't saying this just to lick Tsunade, but it was really possible at that time.
At that time, the third generation had already discovered some abnormalities in Orochimaru and became dissatisfied with him, so Orochimaru was eliminated.
And Jiraiya didn't want to be Hokage at all, otherwise it would never have been Minato's turn.
One of the three ninjas was eliminated and one didn't want to be the one, and White Fang was also dead, so the most suitable person was Tsunade.
In terms of identity, Tsunade is the granddaughter of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and also a disciple of the third Hokage. She can be said to be the purest descendant of Hokage.
Tsunade also has outstanding achievements in battle and has made many contributions to Konoha on the battlefield.
Needless to say, Tsunade's strength is great, although she is a medical ninja.
Aren’t these three elements combined more suitable than Watergate
"Forget it. I'm afraid I'll lose Konoha." Tsunade said lazily.
In fact, if she really wants to be the Hokage, Tsunade may not be happy about it, as she has to deal with various official duties. Wouldn't she be comfortable being the director of the medical department? When there is something to do, Shizune will do it, and when she has nothing to do, she will go to Nagase to take advantage of her. Her life is very comfortable.
"Captain Nagase, do you think it's possible for Midori to become Hokage in the future?" Inuzuka Midori heard the two people discussing the topic of Hokage and looked at Nagase with some anticipation.
Nagase imagined what it would be like if Inuzuka Midori became Hokage, and immediately shook his head and said mercilessly: "If someone really wants to nominate you for Hokage, I will definitely vote against it."
Looking at Nagase's expressionless face, Inuzuka Midori burst into tears and rubbed her face against Nagase frantically.
"Why do you persecute Midori like this? Am I not your favorite subordinate and most proud disciple?"
"No." Yongze said again mercilessly.
If there really were these two, then the favorite subordinate would have to be Shisui, who had been working diligently for Nagase even before he joined the training team.
The most proud subordinate should be Might Guy. Guy is really working hard, and now his pure domineering strength has surpassed Kakashi.
Nagaze feels that if Kai now opens more than six gates of the Eight Gates, his strength will be quite terrifying.
"How cruel." Inuzuka Midori felt that this world had persecuted her too much and she was shivering with anger.
Kakashi watched Inuzuka Midori showing off with a calm face. Although he had not yet set foot in Konoha, his heart had already returned home.
"Hara Rei and Yuri Kade haven't seen me for almost a month, they must be missing me a lot," Kakashi thought.
After entering Konoha, Nagase did not let Inuzuka Midori and Kakashi go back to the training team to work, but generously offered to give them two more days off.
When Kakashi heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he used the speed that a Kage-level strongman should have and rushed towards his home quickly.
When Inuzuka Midori heard that she had a holiday and didn't have to work, she put her worries behind her and walked away while humming a tune she heard from somewhere and taking a few steps and jumping.
Tsunade didn't waste any time. She had been itching to give money, so she said hello to Nagase and went to give the money to the man.
The original team suddenly had only three people left, Gaara Nagase and Yashamaru.
"I have arranged accommodation for you, come with me." Nagase held Gaara's hand and said to Yashamaru.
Before coming back, he had already informed the main body, and the proof of residence had been prepared long ago. In addition, Nagase specially arranged a house very close to his home to make it easier to take care of Gaara.
Nagase brought Gaara and Yashamaru to the prepared house and showed them around briefly. Someone had already cleaned the house in advance, so they could move in directly without cleaning.
Then Yongze pointed to a house not far away and said, "That house over there is my house. If you have any problems, you can go there to find me, or you can come to my house to play."
Obviously, Nagase's next words were meant for Gaara.
Yashamaru said nothing and quietly put away the gifts he had brought.
Nagase looked at the time. It was about two o'clock in the afternoon. He asked Gaara, "Gaara, do you want me to take you to meet Naruto, who I told you about before?"
In order to motivate Gaara, Nagase told Gaara about Naruto, saying that having a tailed beast in his body was no big deal, and that Naruto was still cheerful and had many friends.
So even though Gaara had never met Naruto, he knew a little about him.
Gaara was a little hesitant, but it wasn't that he didn't want to meet Naruto.
On the contrary, he really wanted to meet Naruto because both of them had a monster living in their bodies.
What made Gaara hesitate was that he was afraid of rejection.
He was afraid that Naruto would reject him like those kids who played football before.
"Go with peace of mind. There is no rumor here that you are a monster." Yashamaru said gently.
Maybe Rasa's idea was to let Yashamaru monitor Gaara to prevent Gaara from being brainwashed by Konoha or something.
But Yashamaru’s own purpose is very simple, which is to take good care of Gaara.
Yashamaru hopes that Gaara can spend a happy childhood in this place where Rasa cannot reach him.
With the encouragement from his uncle, Gaara gained a lot of courage. He nodded and said, "Brother Nagase, please take me there."
"Well, come with me." Nagaze nodded. At this time, Naruto's left assistant would usually practice at the place arranged by him.
Gaara followed behind Nagase, feeling a little nervous.
He didn't know what was waiting for him, but he hoped it wasn't rejection.
"Please let me have a friend, even just one."
