Chapter 398: Return to the Ruins, Yagami Taichi! Konoha 42nd Year! Second Update
"Kid… so what do you plan to name your organization?"
"A name, huh?"
Hearing Kakuzu's reminder, Fujiwara Tetsuya realized how poorly prepared he was for the early stages. "Mikoto, Ryoui… do you have any suggestions?"
"Tetsuya-kun, you should decide something like this."
"No… nothing!"
Meeting Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze, Uchiha Mikoto and Torune Ryoui shook their heads one after another.
As Konoha Ninja, the idea of secretly forming an organization was quite a shock to them.
Kakuzu was stunned! They were equally stunned.
"Is that so? Then let's call it Gui Xu!"
As he murmured, Fujiwara Tetsuya also laid down the name for the future strongest organization in the Ninja World!
"From now on, I am the Emperor of Gui Xu! My name is Yagami Taichi!"
"Mikoto, Ryoui… you will be the Empresses of Gui Xu. As for your code names, we'll have to think carefully…"
"Kid, what about me?"
Although he wasn't clear what Gui Xu exactly meant, it had to be said that Fujiwara Tetsuya's chosen title was extremely grand, and it subtly gave Kakuzu some expectations.
"Mr. Kakuzu will naturally be the first in rank in the Gui Xu Organization… Hmm! As for the code name, I'll trouble Mr. Kakuzu to think of something cool. In short, you can't use the name Kakuzu anymore…"
"Alright, to welcome Mr. Kakuzu and to celebrate the founding of Gui Xu, I'm treating everyone today…"
After a feast, Fujiwara Tetsuya, under Torune Ryoui's 'interrogation' (an instance of insubordination), pushed all matters concerning the Uchiha Clan bloodline onto Uchiha Mikoto's 'first blood'.
He barely managed to get by… However, whether it was the secret formation of an organization, the Uchiha Clan's bloodline, or the Mangekyo… all of these were too shocking and scandalous for Konoha.
These matters were destined to remain buried in their hearts… Land of Rivers.
Time flew by like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it was already January of Konoha 43!
On this day, Fujiwara Tetsuya truly turned 15, taking another firm step forward on the path to marriageable age.
In the two months since Fujiwara Tetsuya subdued Kakuzu… after discussions among Fujiwara Tetsuya, Kakuzu, Uchiha Mikoto, and Torune Ryoui, the final location for Gui Xu's base was decided.
Even if it was just a temporarily established peripheral force, after Kakuzu swept away the remnants of the Kawanin Ninja with absolute power, and Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto secretly dealt with and rallied some opposing forces, with the support of the Land of Rivers Daimyo, Tani Hidden Village was officially established, becoming the new Ninja Village of the Land of Rivers after Kawanin Village.
Fujiwara Tetsuya had his reasons for choosing the Land of Rivers.
First, he considered the war factor. Whether it was the ongoing Second Ninja World War or the future Third Shinobi World War, all core points revolved around the Land of Fire and Konoha.
Once the Third Shinobi World War broke out, many small countries and Ninja Villages north of Konoha would inevitably be drawn into the war between Iwagakure, Hidden Cloud Village, and Konoha… A slight misstep could lead to the destruction of years of their hard work!
Therefore, whether it was the Land of Birds, the Land of Grass, the Land of Waterfall, the Land of Rice Fields, the Land of Frost, the Land of Hot Springs… these northern nations were all outside Fujiwara Tetsuya's consideration.
As for the Land of Rain, that was currently the core of the war, a place where gods would fight in the future. Not to mention Hanzo was still alive, just the watchful eyes of Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu would cut off all his illusions about the Land of Rain.
As for the nations further west and even further east in the Ninja World, such as the Land of Demons, the Land of Ghosts, the Land of Bears… the Land of Tea, the Land of Craftsmen.
Although their geographical locations were remote, they were far from the core of the Ninja World… which was not conducive to the organization's early accumulation of power.
After much thought, the Land of Rivers, currently a vacuum zone with vast mountains and rivers, making it easy for the organization to hide, was undoubtedly the most suitable choice for Fujiwara Tetsuya's expectations.
Both Sunagakure and Konoha's main forces, entrenched in the northern Land of Rivers, were fiercely engaged in battle and currently had no energy to pay attention to Tani Hidden Village.
As long as the pirates entrenched in the southern waters of the Land of Rivers were dealt with, and a shipping route sufficient to connect various southern maritime nations such as Red Continent Island, the Land of Tea, the Land of Moon, and the Land of Oolong was cleared, the Land of Rivers could greatly develop its maritime trade, taking a share from the Land of Fire's ocean trade.
This would play a crucial role in the Gui Xu Organization's early capital accumulation.
Of course, while Fujiwara Tetsuya was busy thinking of code names for Uchiha Mikoto, Torune Ryoui, and Kakuzu, creating standard uniforms and tokens for the Gui Xu Organization, and secretly promoting the development of Tani Hidden Village… the Ninja World was also in turmoil.
However, in Fujiwara Tetsuya's view, only three things were worth his attention and would leave a mark in the history of the Ninja World.
Firstly, Kakashi, in mid-November last year, passed the Genin examination with absolute strength, becoming the youngest Genin since Konoha established the Ninja Academy, without exception.
He was also the most highly acclaimed genius in Konoha after Fujiwara Tetsuya, considered by countless onlookers, both Shinobi Clan and commoners, as a promising junior who could surpass the Sannin and Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Secondly… it was Kato Dan!
Despite Fujiwara Tetsuya's secret warnings, Kato Dan still could not escape the blade of fate. In early December last year, he was severely wounded by the Third Kazekage's scheme… This time, even Tsunade could not pull Kato Dan back from the brink of death.
Shortly after Kato Dan's death, Tsunade was urgently recalled to the Village by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Although there was no clear intelligence, based on Fujiwara Tetsuya's conjectures… Tsunade most likely suffered a great blow from Kato Dan's departure and developed hemophobia, just as in the original storyline.
A Quasi-Kage, a genuine Kage-level Ninja… in just a few days, Konoha lost two top combatants.
Thirdly, there was news about Sakumo Hatake… Kato Dan's death, Tsunade suffering from hemophobia… she couldn't even perform basic Medical Ninjutsu now, let alone fight.
The pressure from Sunagakure suddenly fell upon Sakumo Hatake and Akimichi Torifu.
Not long ago, Sakumo Hatake fought dozens of battles in various locations over several days, single-handedly disrupting Sunagakure's rear, successively forcing back the Third Kazekage, defeating Ebizo and Rasa, and killing hundreds of Sunagakure elites, including one Quasi-Kage and over thirty Elite Jonin.
This forced the Third Kazekage to issue a strong order that all Sunagakure Ninja, other than himself, if they encountered White Fang Hatake Sakumo during a mission, could choose to abandon the mission to prioritize their own lives… After this bloody battle, Sakumo Hatake not only forced the main Sunagakure forces to retreat to the Land of Wind for temporary rest, but more importantly… after this incident, the renown of White Fang Hatake Sakumo spread throughout the entire Ninja World in a short time.
To intimidate an entire Ninja Village by oneself! In the long history of the Ninja World, those who could achieve such a feat were few and far between.
