Chapter 1044: Hawk Faction and Dove Faction!
Chapter 1044: Hawk Faction and Dove Faction!
Blazing Sun Tower!
"Tsk, who would have thought Konohagakure would be so lively!"
Tang Ping was reviving Sanma Koji on the ground while complaining to Uzumaki Budou, who had dark circles under her eyes and a cold expression.
Indeed, everything in Konohagakure was as he had expected.
Tsunade's progress was not going smoothly.
Neither Naruto nor Asuma would allow her to become Hokage.
Especially Asuma!
He was well aware of how much Tang Ping disliked the Sarutobi Clan. If Konohagakure were to ally with the Blazing Sun Kingdom, the implications for his family would be clear, so he could not allow Tsunade to take the position.
Becoming Hokage was his dark obsession, and he would not allow anyone to compete with him.
Naruto's mindset was to 'protect Konohagakure' and prevent the village from falling into the 'evil' hands of the Blazing Sun Kingdom.
Thus, Naruto supported Asuma.
Both sides had been using every trick in the book over this period.
Konohagakure had now split into two factions.
One was the Dove Faction.
They were willing to join the Blazing Sun Kingdom because the benefits and treatment were no longer a secret. Additionally, the Blazing Sun Kingdom's representatives were originally from Konohagakure, so there was less resistance.
As for the friends and comrades who had died at their hands?
For shinobi who were accustomed to death, this was not something they couldn't accept.
This faction was the largest, consisting mostly of civilians and small clans.
The other was the Hawk Faction.
They were naturally unwilling to join the Blazing Sun Kingdom, no matter how good the benefits. Being under someone else's rule was far less appealing than being in charge themselves.
This faction was primarily made up of Konohagakure's major ninja clans and those who believed in the 'Will of Fire.'
In terms of numbers, they were smaller than the other faction, but they were stronger and controlled various departments in the village, giving them more influence.
Both factions had been using every means possible to win votes, attracting a great deal of attention.
While the Hawk Faction's prestige was far below that of Tsunade, one of the Sannin, they had a powerful advantage.
Funding!
The Hawk Faction could receive massive support from other forces.
Unrestricted, free aid.
The major powers were willing to do whatever it took to have Konohagakure stand against the Blazing Sun Kingdom. Even sending people to join Konohagakage was not out of the question, let alone providing supplies.
Even though the previous battle had severely weakened them, they were willing to bleed to support Konohagakure.
Because if Konohagakure fell, others would have even less confidence in stopping the Blazing Sun Kingdom.
Through various means, Asuma managed to match Tsunade, and even slightly edge ahead, which was truly unexpected.
"You have the time to pay attention to all this?"
Uzumaki Budou gave Tang Ping a resentful glance.
She had barely slept for less than a day and was on the verge of a breakdown.
Meanwhile, Tang Ping had been resting and still had the time to care about these matters, which naturally irritated her.
"I just woke up and immediately started reviving Koji and the others to help you!"
Faced with Uzumaki Budou's resentment, Tang Ping felt a bit guilty and quickly changed the subject.
He knew that she had been doing all the work that should have been his, so he felt very guilty.
"Hmph!"
Uzumaki Budou let out a cold snort but said nothing.
The body of Sanma Koji, lying on the ground, began to awaken.
"What...?"
Opening his eyes, Sanma Koji quickly recalled his death during the final battle and realized he had been revived.
As for lying on the ground, he didn't mind.
Being revived was good enough; he didn't need to ask for more.
"Alright, we'll talk about the rest once I've finished reviving everyone!"
Tang Ping didn't rush to explain things to his friend. After all, he had to revive several Kage-level shinobi today, which was a significant drain on his energy. He would revive only a few at a time, not all at once.
It's not impossible to do so, but he might have to enter a deep slumber for a while, and he certainly didn't want to do that.
The current Konohagakure was bustling with activity, and he was looking forward to the entertainment. He also had a few tasks that only he could handle, so he couldn't afford to take a long rest.
For example, Jodo!
He had been drooling over it, but his previous state was too poor to take it over. Now that he had rested well, he naturally intended to claim it as soon as possible.
Without the Sage of Six Paths as the master, he was afraid of any unexpected incidents.
The resurrection process was extremely simple and mundane.
With the body present, all he had to do was have the Death God Clone grab a soul and place it back into the body, followed by a few bottles of the concentrated Elixir of Life, and it was done.
The simplicity of this process was entirely due to Tang Ping's Ascension.
If he hadn't Ascended to the Divine Realm, reviving powerful individuals wouldn't have been so easy.
Soon, he revived Yakura, Kyuubi, Uzumaki Shou, and a few others.
Reviving these people was quite strategic.
Yakura and Kyuubi, being the Wind Shadow and Mizukage, were essential for the smooth merging and absorption of the two ninja villages. Even if the Blazing Sun Kingdom had already taken shape, the integration process could still go awry without them.
Additionally, the two major countries needed their leadership.
Even though they had already handed over various affairs to the Mikos before the final battle, their prolonged absence could still cause chaos.
After reviving the few individuals, Tang Ping handed over the tasks to Uzumaki Budou and went to claim Jodo himself.
This was the real task!
After claiming Jodo, he could casually observe the drama unfolding in Konohagakure.
As someone who enjoyed entertainment, he found the current Konohagakure extremely interesting.
As for how to find Jodo?
Strictly speaking, a place not on the same plane as the Ninja World was not easy to locate.
But Tang Ping had been keeping an eye on Jodo all along, so finding it was not a problem.
A temple in the Land of Fire!
That was the 'anchor point' between Jodo and the Ninja World.
Without an anchor point, the two planes would be like two ships on the sea, easily separated by the waves.
But with an anchor point, it was like tying the two together with a rope, ensuring they wouldn't drift apart.
These pieces of knowledge were useless to ordinary people or ninjas, but they were extremely valuable to top-tier experts, especially Tang Ping!
Knowing this, finding Jodo's anchor point was not difficult at all.
In the past, he couldn't search openly because the Sage of Six Paths was watching over Jodo. Attempting to find the anchor point would have been a death wish.
But now that the Sage of Six Paths had been obliterated, Tang Ping could find it without any hesitation.
If Hyuga Aikotsuki were to handle it, the efficiency would be even higher.
Soon, Tang Ping entered the dilapidated temple.
It had been abandoned for who knows how many years, with vines and dust covering everything, and various snakes, insects, and rodents scurrying about.
Whoosh!
A scorching white flame swept across, clearing away the vines and creatures.
This made the place look much better.
Tang Ping quickly reached the corner of the main hall and slammed his palm against the wall.
Crack!
The once sturdy blue bricks melted under the intense heat, revealing a hidden space and a staff embedded in the ground.
This was the anchor point of the Jodo plane.
Seeing it, Tang Ping didn't hesitate and reached out to touch it.
Buzz!
An invisible light flashed.
Ordinary people would have their souls instantly sucked away, and even ninjas would find it hard to escape death. This would also alert the Sage of Six Paths.
So, as long as the Sage of Six Paths was around, no one could touch this thing.
It was like how, as long as Tang Ping was around, no one could touch the Tengoku Plane.
Unfortunately, the Sage of Six Paths was no longer present, leaving Jodo vulnerable to his actions.
The light formed a pitch-black door, emitting a terrifying aura that made living beings quiver.
Tang Ping, without any hesitation, stepped through the door.
Jodo, here I come.
