In the past few years, the Daimyo's residence has been going further and further. Besides aggressively seizing ninja missions from the Land of Fire.
They even once suppressed other industries of Konoha Village.
As a result, the ninjas of the Land of Fire are now directly divided into two major factions.
The number of ninja troops established by the Daimyo's residence is increasing day by day. Even Gekko Chizan has to admire Kazuma a little. That guy really dares to act.
"Some time ago, Rin said she also went to the Daimyo's residence, but the treatment she received was terrible."
"You should know she's your disciple. The Daimyo's residence has been treating the village worse and worse lately."
Pakura frowned slightly when she heard that. Now she was a sensei of Konoha Village, so naturally she had to think about the village.
Over the years, she had trained countless disciples. Many of them had already become qualified ninjas, which gave Pakura a kind of joy she had never experienced before.
"Alright, forget about the Daimyo's residence."
"Anyway, Minato is the one dealing with all the trouble. I just run errands."
"This class is over. I can get off work."
"I'm going to Takigakure Village. Don't wait for me for dinner."
Pakura rolled her eyes at him. This guy simply treated Flying Thunder God and chakra like they were nothing.
...
Takigakure Village.
Gekko Chizan directly arrived here from Konoha Village using Flying Thunder God.
Over the past few years, he had spent a period of time desperately farming rewards.
Finally, he managed to max out all attributes except taijutsu.

The current Gekko Chizan had already turned into a humanoid beast. The emergence of various passive abilities made it so that even standing there, he emitted the aura of a powerful expert.
"Yahiko, any new intelligence?"
"Chizan, you're here. No. Both the Akatsuki organization and Danzō are hiding very well."
Gekko Chizan regularly came to Takigakure Village or Amegakure Village, just to check whether there was any intelligence he wanted.
Over the years, the intelligence network had almost covered the entire ninja world. Even some remote villages had not escaped its search.
For example, Nadeshiko Village and Hoshigakure Village.
To be honest, Gekko Chizan had gone to Nadeshiko Village once, but he was driven out.
At the time, Gekko Chizan's eyes widened as he looked around. But after saying he was already married, they thought he had come to cause trouble.
They chased him while beating him and drove him out.
As for Hoshigakure Village, he had absolutely no interest in it. A group of ninjas who cultivated ninjutsu using a meteorite from outer space.
This kind of special ninjutsu that relied on external forces placed a heavy burden on the body. In his eyes, they were just defective products.
"Unbelievable. Are Uchiha Madara and Danzō both rats?"
"How can they hide this well?"
Gekko Chizan sat to the side, tapping the table while his thoughts began to drift.
There was no helping it. With two hidden dangers still not eliminated, he always felt uneasy.
"Chizan, if I remember correctly, you once introduced the Three Great Sacred Lands to me."
"Among them, the leader of Mount Myōboku where Jiraiya-sensei trained, the Great Toad Sage, can make prophecies, right?"
Yahiko's words made Gekko Chizan suddenly stand up.
"That's right, Yahiko, you're right. If we can't find them, then we'll find someone who can."
"The prophecy of the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku is one option. And the White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave knows everything in the entire ninja world."
"I'll go find her!"
As expected, the person involved is often confused while the bystander sees clearly. Over the years, Gekko Chizan had been flying all over the place whenever he had time.
Searching everywhere, yet still unable to find those two groups.
It was also possible that because he was too obsessed with finding them, his approach had become wrong.
Fortunately, Yahiko reminded him, avoiding many unnecessary troubles.
"Oh right, how are things on Terumi Mei's side?"
"Has contact with Kirigakure Village been established?"
Takigakure Village was very far from Kirigakure Village, but they did not oppose the exchange of intelligence.
Under his instructions, Terumi Mei had returned to Kirigakure Village in order to connect Kirigakure with all his other networks.
"There's no reply yet. They're probably busy over there."
"Even though we arranged Samui to go there, organizing such a large village will be a huge workload for Terumi Mei."
As Yahiko spoke, he pointed to the pile of documents on his desk.
"You've all worked hard. And about Nagato..."
"I will definitely avenge Nagato. If that damned Uchiha hadn't deceived him, he wouldn't have died because of him."
When Nagato was mentioned.
Back then, when they heard the news of Nagato's death, Yahiko and Konan were both devastated.
Everything they had worked for was to bring Nagato back, yet who would have thought their friend would die.
And it happened while dealing with Gekko Chizan.
It was obvious that Nagato had been bewitched by the other party. In the end, it was all that Uchiha's fault.
"Alright. In a few days I'm going to the Daimyo's residence of the Land of Fire."
"Just hurry up with the situation in Kirigakure Village."
"Oh right, is there any news about the resurrection of the Five-Tails and the One-Tail? And the Three-Tails."
Aside from the two major enemies, Gekko Chizan was also paying attention to the resurrection of the Tailed Beasts.
After all, the Tailed Beasts were the primary target of the Akatsuki organization. Reviving the Ten-Tails required collecting all the Tailed Beasts. Those three above were all killed by him.
So he had to accurately grasp the enemy's situation.
"The One-Tail already has a Jinchūriki."
"The son of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa. Gaara."
"There was intelligence earlier saying the Five-Tails was seen in the mountains of the Land of Earth, but the exact situation is unclear."
"There's no news about the Three-Tails."
