Chapter 37: The Foggy Situation
Shingo Terumi gently wiped away the fine cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at the other clan elders, not knowing what to say.
There was a half-silence in the room, except for the sound of the wick exploding, which was unusually clear in the unsettling silence.
After a long time, an elder of the clan stumbled and said, "Patriarch, look, look, could this be just a coincidence...... Alas......"
The elder wanted to say that it might just be a coincidence, but when he got to the middle, he realized that this kind of fluke idea was completely impossible, so he couldn't even say it.
As the elder spoke, Shingo Terumi picked up another scroll placed between the few people, and slowly flipped through it in silence, with a solemn expression on his face.
Another elder spoke at this time and said, "Patriarch, I have already thoroughly investigated the family this evening, but ......"
At this, the elder showed a look of shame on his face.
"Let's stop. ”
Shingo Terumi said something a little unwillingly, and then repeated: "Stop, don't investigate again for the time being." ”
Then, Terumi Shingo spread out the scrolls, pointed to one of them and said to the elders, "The combination of the dual attributes of fire and earth chakra can produce a highly corrosive magma, called dissolution. ”
The elders didn't speak, just quietly listened to Terumi Shingo.
Shingo Terumi moved his finger and pointed to another place on the scroll, and continued to read calmly: "The combination of water and fire chakra can produce a high-heat, high-acidity mist, called boiling escape. ”
After finishing speaking, Terumi Shingo stood up, looked at the few elders who were still kneeling on the ground, and said expressionlessly: "Although I don't know how the Shui Wuyue clan learned about our clan's secrets, but since things have come to this point, I am ready to lead the Terumi clan to attach to Shui Wuyue." If you have any comments, please put them forward now. ”
A few elders, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all said to Terumi Shingo in a dejected manner, "The next few people agree with the decision of the patriarch. ”
Seeing that several elders were acting like this, Terumi Shingo also sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that the top-secret research hidden by his family had already been discovered. Facing the behemoth of Shui Wuyue, there was a sense of powerlessness in my heart for a while.
However, as the patriarch, he naturally had to find a way to motivate the fighting spirit of the clansmen, and seeing that several elders were all devastated, he turned his mind and immediately laughed and said: "Why do you need to be like this, the Shui Wuyue clan is led by the current patriarch, and the future is naturally unlimited." We have lost some freedom by attaching ourselves to them, but it is not without its benefits. Besides, he was his disciple after the underworld, and our clan didn't suffer much of a loss. ”
The intimacy of the identity of "disciple" can almost be compared with that of direct descendants at this time.
Therefore, if Zhaomei worships Shui Wuyue Qi as a teacher, it undoubtedly means that the Zhaomei clan has been firmly tied to the chariot of the Shui Wuyue clan.
And Shui Wuyueqi's actions in the past few years are also well-known among the upper echelons of these ninja clans, and it is almost certain that his future achievements will not be small. If Zhao Meiming has the identity of a disciple of Shui Wuyue Qi, it can be regarded as a big benefit.
In the hearts of these elders, the benefits of Zhaomei are naturally the benefits of the Zhaomei family. Therefore, when Terumi Shingo said this, several elders were a little less resistant and frustrated about this matter, and they all pinched their noses to express their support for Terumi to worship Shui Wuyue Qi as a teacher.
Now that the decision has been made, Terumi Shingo refuses to delay at all, and sends someone to the Shui Wuyue clan overnight, expressing his willingness to conclude a secret agreement with the Shui Wuyue clan, and asking the patriarch's daughter Terumi to worship Shui Wuyue Qi as a teacher.
Shui Wuyueqi was called from his sleep, and as soon as he heard the news, he was immediately overjoyed, and said as he walked out: "Prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony immediately, you go and choose a suitable day, be quick." ”
After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment and continued: "You don't have to choose anymore, I think tomorrow will be very suitable." Tell me to go down and start preparing now, and I'll use it by noon. ”
As the order of the water no moon apocalypse was issued, a ninja immediately left quickly to pass on the order of the water no moon apocalypse.
Shui Wuyueqi came to his study accompanied by his subordinates, and there were already several people waiting in the study at this time.
Shui Wuyue Qi looked around, and greeted Yayoi first: "Yayoi, what do you think of this technique?"
At this time, Yayoi gave birth to half of his body on his back, and his head, arms, chest and abdomen were not lacking at all, like a pair of conjoined babies, which looked really terrifying at first glance.
However, everyone present naturally didn't care about this, they already knew that this was a secret technique that Shui Wuyue Qi "deliberately" sent someone to find from the main road, and it was specially used to "cure" Yayoi.
Yayoi gently brushed away a strand of hair on her cheek, not daring to look directly into Shui Wuyueqi's eyes, and whispered with some cringe: "Sister, sister, Lady Zheng, is resting." ”
Shui Wuyue Qiyi frowned, but he also understood that the two personalities always had to rotate to dominate the body, so he didn't say anything, and still said with a pleasant face: "It's okay, then you can listen to it first, it's good for you to get in touch with these more." ”
After saying that, Shui Wuyue Kai no longer paid attention to Yayoi, but asked, "What's the situation?"
Sayuri took a step forward, and said in an unhurried voice: "Patriarch, the Ghost Lantern Clan has completely abandoned their foundation in the Land of Water a few days ago, and the Ghost Lantern Clan has fled to the mainland. Before they fled, Mizukage-sama had issued an order for Kaguya-sama's team to suspend their attack on the Oni Lantern Clan. Now, the Kaguya clan is going around in tandem, hoping to impeach Mizukage-sama and let him delegate power, even ......"
Shui Wuyue Qi raised his hand to stop Sayuri from continuing to speak, and said: "Now the situation in the ninja world is tense, and a big war is about to break out. At this time, Kirigaku can't engage in infighting anymore, and Akiyama Hidekazu's position of Mizukage can't be moved. ”
Sayuri's lips moved, and she stopped talking, but eventually lowered her head, said "yes", and then took a step back and stopped talking.
Shui Wuyueqi's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, and asked again, "What is the attitude of the several big families?"
At this time, Saori spoke beside Shui Wuyue Qi and said, "Before Qijun you returned to the family, none of the big families expressed their position. ”
Shui Wuyue Qi smiled and said, "It's understandable to watch people bet." ”
He knew in his heart that the reason why several big families hadn't expressed their stance yet was because the Kaguya clan couldn't suppress the water shadow with the power of one clan alone, so they wanted to see the attitude of the Shui Wuyue clan.
As the only two wealthy clans in the village now, Kaguya and Mizuki have suffered a lot of losses in the successive civil wars. At this time, it's not just Mizukage who wants to clean them up, but those families who have been suppressed by them may also want to stab them.
Shui Wuyue Qi rubbed the edge of the table, suddenly sighed, then stood up, looked at everyone, and said: "Before the outbreak of the Great Ninja War, the General Staff Headquarters must be established, otherwise it will be difficult for us to interfere in the command of the front-line war." If you let out the wind, you will say that the bottom line of Shui Wuyue is the staff headquarters. ”
"Yes. ”
Everyone bowed their heads at the same time in response, and then saw that Shui Wuyueqi had no more instructions, so they left separately, leaving Shui Wuyueqi standing alone in the silent room, his eyes changing, and he didn't know what he was planning.
