Chapter 183 Turnaround

The bright moon hangs high in the sky where the clouds have dispersed, its soft light shining silently on everything.

If it hadn't been for the Fourth Ninja War, this would have been a relatively normal natural phenomenon.

But during this sensitive war period, everyone in the five hidden villages and even those in small countries were aware of it.

A silent change is quietly brewing.

What's more, in the direction of Konoha Hidden Village, a huge flower tree that almost connects the sky and the earth is growing freely.

Is it the secret weapon of the Hidden Leaf Village? Or is it the arrangement of their rival Akatsuki organization?

Everyone was looking forward to the end of this tormenting battle, and they even subconsciously prayed to the bright moon that had just emerged.

At this time, in a secret courtyard in the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire, Ci Xian, a male monk with a ponytail, looked at the sky with interest.

"Well, this kind of change in the world where the power is deliberately controlled."

"Is that sacred tree going to reappear in the ninja world?"

"It's a pity that the most precious fruit has been seized by the traitor. Otherwise, I would have made some arrangements."

Otsutsuki Ishiki, who came to the ninja world at the same time as Otsutsuki Kaguya, also known as Ji Xian, murmured to himself under the moonlight.

"Lord Cixian, please be patient during this period."

"Nowadays, around the daimyo, there are more people who hold objections. It is not the time to take action against the Hidden Leaf Village."

A middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a Fire Nation official said indifferently.

He is the deputy to the Minister of Military Affairs of the Country of Fire, and is responsible for liaising with Ci Xian.

"I understand, then I will wait for your order from the Daimyo."

"I hope he can understand that as a unified and powerful country, allowing uncontrollable military units to develop freely is undoubtedly a recipe for death."

Ci Xian's words can be said to be extremely rude.

However, the deputy to the Minister of Military Affairs only nodded respectfully, saying that he would definitely convey it.

In his opinion, the balance of mutual trust and mutual cooperation between the great powers and the hidden village generals has been broken because the alliance led by Konoha destroyed all other hidden villages.

When the time comes, can the Fire Nation alone really suppress Konoha, who coordinates the five hidden villages?

The answer is no.

Therefore, Ci Xian, who can single-handedly destroy the Hidden Village, is extremely important to the Fire Country.

If the situation develops into a confrontation between Konoha and the Fire Nation, then this powerful monk will be the most suitable weapon to deal with Konoha.

Even after the war, the Fire Nation and Konoha can still maintain a delicate balance.

Ci Xian's existence will also be a bargaining chip and a tool.

Therefore, the deputy to the Minister of War was, at least on the surface, extremely polite to this strange-looking monk.

He would immediately convey the other party's requests to the Minister of Military Affairs and try his best to meet them.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"Presumably, the Fire Nation is not the only one who is dissatisfied and worried about Konoha Hidden Village's behavior of launching a war without a bottom line!"

"If hidden villages can be unified, then why can't big countries be unified?"

"Is it possible that the Daimyo-sama is satisfied with the size of the Fire Country?"

Before the deputy of the Minister of Military Affairs left, Ci Xian spoke again.

The destruction and prosperity of hidden villages are often linked to strength and resources.

In terms of strength, as the employers of Hidden Village, the five major countries cannot provide effective help.

But when it comes to resources, the Fire Nation considers itself number one in the ninja world.

But who would mind if the territory is larger?

Therefore, Ci Xian's words made the deputy open his mouth and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Even the military ministers and daimyo-sama serving him have not considered this aspect.

And this monk who was favored by others just said a few words in an understatement, which made people feel like they were seeing the blue sky through the clouds.

"Please rest assured, I will convey all these words to the Minister of Military Affairs."

"No matter how you consider it, your advice is far-sighted."

The deputy became more and more respectful, Ci Xian just smiled lightly.

"It's too early to talk about this now. All we can do is organize simple activities such as organizing people to go to the battlefield for rewards."

"As for the next step, it is still unknown whether the Minister of Military Affairs and the Daimyo will adopt my suggestions."

"Okay, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

After speaking briefly, Ci Xian dismissed his deputy without hesitation.

Naturally, this not-so-elderly bureaucrat did not dare to have any objections.

Then, Ci Xian's eyes were firmly fixed on the flower and tree that connected the sky and the earth.

Without the existence of the Chachakra Fruit, there was no need for him to fight for it.

However, the fight between Otsutsuki Kaguya's family seems quite interesting.

Thinking of this, Ci Xian calmly sat down and waited patiently.

According to his understanding of the characteristics of the sacred tree, that moment will come soon.

Ci Xian is naturally not worried about Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection.

Over the past thousand years, his search for the 'wedge' container has never stopped.

Although I haven't found a completely satisfactory finished product so far.

But if the situation really comes to the point where a reincarnation vessel is needed to fight Kaguya Otsutsuki, there will be no problem for Ji Xian or Otsutsuki Ishiki to ask themselves.

Having said that, he is still more optimistic about Kaguya Otsutsuki's failure. After all, that loser has already failed once, and it is reasonable to do it again.

And more importantly, it starts from the time when you descend into the ninja world.

Otsutsuki Ishiki never looked directly at the subordinate who was supposed to be sacrificed to the sacred tree, Otsutsuki Kaguya.

…

Outside Konoha Hidden Village, the Valley of the End.

After a shocking explosion ended.

The vegetation has been wiped out and the mountains and rivers have been destroyed.

Within a radius of tens of kilometers, all the land seemed to have been plowed, and no complete existence could be seen.

The initiators, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, are far opposite each other.

The former's unyielding Buddha body and hands have now been completely destroyed, leaving only the cracked wooden escape platform.

The latter's several complete Susanas also lost a third of their bodies.

From the scene, it seemed that Uchiha Madara had the upper hand.

"Hey, it seems that without the Nine-Tails Queen, my strength is still superior to yours! Hashirama."

"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to open these eyes of reincarnation."

Uchiha Madara's boastful tone was quite proud.

He had fought countless battles with Senju Hashirama, winning and losing.

The one that left the deepest impression was undoubtedly the two battles during his lifetime that determined the fate of the Uchiha clan and his own destiny.

For the first time, only the kaleidoscope failed.

After finding the Nine-Tails as a chakra container and opening the Eternal Kaleidoscope, Madara suppressed Hashirama.

But that battle was destined to be unwinnable.

Madara, who is focused on planning for the Eye of the Moon, only has the goal of obtaining Hashirama's flesh and blood.

It can be said that it was not a hearty and refreshing battle.

But this time it's different.

The Eye of the Moon plan has been quietly implemented, and Madara, who no longer has any worries, will naturally let go and fight his old enemy.

"Hmph, you are still the same talkative person as when you were little, Madara."

With cold sweat dripping down his forehead, Senju Hashirama, who entered sage mode, looked at Uchiha Madara calmly.

There are scattered rumors about those swirling eyes in the ancient books passed down by the Thousand Hands clan.
