Chapter 184: Genius Girl
What Yao Shuang has seen, heard, and guessed by associating some stories over the past two nights is actually close to the most real shadow ninja.
There are three forces within the shadow ninja, the first force, which can be called a radical faction, this faction is based on the North Island Clear Sky as the core, the Great Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the Seven Elders as the wings, and the North Island Yuxiang Brothers and the North Island Ban as the minions. The divide between radicals and conservatives arose from the Battle of Tottoriyama forty years ago. Yao Shuang still doesn't know what happened and why he fought this battle.
The second force, can be called the conservatives, this faction has no one who is the core, the second elder, the fourth elder, the eight elders can all be the leader, and there are also descendants of the disciples Kitajima Sota, Kitajima Yutai, Kitajima Susugawa such a "wine table hero", although the disciples are not successful, but the conservatives are sitting on two masters with the "supreme shadow seal", so they belong to the elite forces in the three forces, although ten years ago the radicals also had the Great Elder, the three elders, and the six elders, but it was ten years ago, three, The six and two elders all died inexplicably and tragically when they learned the "Supreme Shadow Seal". Although this incident aroused suspicion among the radicals and conservatives, it was not resolved because there was no evidence. The differences and rifts between conservatives and radicals have become even more irreconcilable because of this incident.
The third force, which can be called the grass on the wall, has the largest number of people, including the elders with high status, and the younger generation with low status, and the two most representative are the nine or eleven elders, and these two people are the "Uncle Beast" in the mouth of the North Island Clear Sky. This is the conclusion that Yao Shuang finally came to based on the news of two nights of inquiring in the elder's house and the conversation with Yuxiang Kitajima.
Yao Shuang felt that the name of "beast" given to these two elders was still too light, these two people were simply hungry ghosts, perverted animals, and even inferior to livestock. Yao Shuang went for two nights and found that every night there were three or four girls by their side, the oldest was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was only six or seven years old! Yao Shuang can hear bursts of foul language coming from the room of the two every night, as well as the low sobs of those little girls, whenever at this time, Yao Shuang always can't help but feel on fire in his heart, always thinking about the direction of the long knife, killing his dog with a knife, but every time he thinks that he has a heavy responsibility and can't easily show his head, he can only suppress his anger and endure it, and the next day in the conversation with Kitajima Yuxiang mentioned the unbearable of the two, Kitajima Yuxiang just sighed to the two, not to mention anything else. It can be seen that its evil deeds are so bad that even the young disciples in the clan have to cover up their ugliness.
The evil deeds of these two people, coupled with the dialogue between Kitajima Clear Sky and Nan Huatian, even a fool can guess that these two people are those two beasts!
Yao Shuang was angry, but these two people really couldn't be killed, because Yao Shuang didn't search for Nan Huaxin's whereabouts in the two's room, Nan Huaxin didn't show up for a day, and these two people couldn't die for a day.
Just when the rescue mission was about to reach a stalemate, last night's investigation made things take a big turn. Last night, Yao Shuang heard outside the room of the five elders that the contradiction between the radical and conservative factions had reached its peak, and only a fuse was needed to easily trigger the infighting between the two factions.
During the day today, Yao Shuang's purpose is to understand through this "ninja trial" whether the two factions have really reached the point of incompatibility? In addition, what are the points that are valued by the three factions? Yao Shuang wants to destroy this thing, thus triggering a war between the two factions and disturbing the situation of the shadow ninja, he is so troubled that he fishes in troubled waters, rescues Nan Huaxin, and by the way, kills the two cattle, and makes the disaster bigger, so that he can get out better.
This is Yao Shuang's plan.
The most critical point of this plan is that "something that the three factions value very much", and it is also something that Yao Shuang wants to destroy.
Regarding this issue, Yao Shuang has already thought very clearly, what people are most concerned about in this life are nothing more than two points: group interests and individual interests.
Needless to say, no matter how infighting the three factions were, they all hoped that the Shadow Ninja clan would carry forward and dominate Dongying. This is also the reason why the three factions all support Kitajima Clear Sky's "Extraterrestrial Plan", because the Yaqi Night Demon Armor refined by the "Extraterrestrial Plan" can make the Shadow Ninja clan stand at the forefront of Dongying, let alone dominate the Dongying rivers and lakes, which is what the three factions are most looking forward to in their hearts, no matter who they are. Yao Shuang asked himself if he didn't have the ability to destroy the "Extraterrestrial Plan", so he didn't think about the point of destroying the interests of the group at all, even if he really succeeded in sabotage, it might cause the hatred of the Shadow Ninja clan, and the three factions abandoned their previous hatred and hatred to deal with themselves, which was the last thing Yao Shuang wanted to see.
Individual interests are mixed with a lot, and the growth of the respective forces of the three factions is the most important point, and as the cornerstone of their respective forces: the competition of young disciples is naturally the most irreconcilable contradiction between the three factions, and it is precisely this that Yao Shuang wants to start.
As for how to start, it depends on the results of today's trial.
Yao Shuang has already sorted out his thinking clearly, and it depends on whether the three factions can cooperate with his plan to perform.
With the order of the seven elders on the high platform, the "performance" soon began.
The first to take the stage was a descendant of the five elders, a seventeen-year-old boy named Beidao Yinxing, who turned his head and saluted several elders and his brothers, and then strode into Stonehenge.
Yao Shuang looked into the distance, probably saw the distribution of the boulder at the beginning, it was a hexagonal state, facing the south and north were the two corners of the hexagon, and the boulder was distributed in turn as "one, two, three, four, five, six, five, four, three, two, one", no more, no less, exactly thirty-six pieces, but this was only the beginning of the distribution, and then the chaotic movement was what Yao Shuang could not understand.
At this time, the Stonehenge guardian in a black robe stood on the south side of the boulder, looking at the registration book in his hand while running the mechanism, and shouted: "The first-order 'Ninja's Trial', the difficulty is medium, and the trialist Kitajima is negative, seventeen years old. ”
As soon as the guardian finished shouting this sentence, the thirty-six boulders in the whole formation rotated irregularly, Yao Shuang really couldn't understand the operation of this formation, but he didn't dare to ask Beidao Youxiang, he could only secretly observe the irregular operation of the giant stone henge, hoping to find a trace of law in this chaotic movement.
At this time, the sunlight obliquely hits the Stonehenge, pulling the long shadow of each boulder of more than ten zhang to a length of only three or four zhang, and some of the stone shadows overlap each other, and some are far away, and there is no law at all to move it, perhaps the only rule is the placement of the boulder at the beginning.
Just when Yao Shuang frowned and pondered, the North Island negative was a secret mantra, and it quickly disappeared, leaving only a short figure in the formation, constantly shuttling back and forth, and the shuttle position was also no formation at all, I saw him colliding in all directions, clashes left and right, all of them could not escape from the encirclement of the long shadow of the boulder, Yao Shuang had already roughly understood the meaning of this Stonehenge after not seeing it for a while.
This first trial requires the Shadow Ninja disciples to use the Shinto Shadow Technique to successfully get out of Stonehenge, and as for the direction of going out, it is south or north, west or east, which shows the depth of this person's skill.
After all, the assassination king of the Celestial Empire, after all, he was young and well-informed, Yao Shuang guessed correctly, half an hour later, the North Island negative Kankan escaped from the corner surrounded by the boulder, and after showing his figure, he sat on the ground panting, and in the cold weather of winter, there was a trace of white gas on his body, obviously this trial exhausted his physical strength, making him tired and sweating.
"The first order of medium difficulty 'Ninja Trial', the trialist Kitajima Yin Xing, took half an hour, entered the north and went out of the southwest, barely passed, and officially became a member of the Shadow Ninja."
The Guardian's comment officially announced that Kitajima Yin Yuki had entered the house and became a real ninja.
But Kitajima Yin Xing was obviously very dissatisfied with his results, he only became a ninja at the age of seventeen, and he passed so reluctantly, which made him very frustrated, I saw him slowly walk to the high platform with his head down, and gave a salute to the Seven Elders, and the Seven Elders did not make any expressions, just waved their hands slightly, and let them stand aside.
Then came the trial of the second disciple, and the guardian still shouted loudly: "The first order 'Trial of the Ninja', the difficulty is elementary, and the trialist Mie Kitajima is eleven years old. ”
Yao Shuang had a trace of curiosity about this little girl, and just wanted to continue reading, but Beidao Youxiang, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile: "This is the granddaughter of the six elders of my clan, and her talent is no less than that of my sixth grandfather, who almost passed the trial when he was ten years old last year, and will definitely succeed this year, and become a ninja at the age of eleven, which is also very rare in the six ninjas, and its future prospects are limitless." ”
Yao Shuang listened to Beidao Youxiang's praise, and could only echo and praise a few words, these six elders belonged to the patriarch faction, and their disciples had such a talented person, which naturally made Beidao Youxiang happy.
"Angs...... Speaking of the age at which I was promoted to ninja, I barely passed it at the age of fourteen, and I don't know when Kato-kun passed the Stonehenge test? Beidao Youxiang looked at Yao Shuang with some playfulness and said. Becoming a ninja at the age of fourteen is already very good, he doesn't believe that "Kato Hideto" can surpass him, after all, Kato Hidejun is only a side disciple of the wind ninja, even if he is qualified to go out to practice, it should not be as strong as a descendant disciple.
Yao Shuang laughed a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Little brother, I am only a shallow learner, I dare not compare with Brother Youxiang, I barely passed the boulder trial at the age of fifteen, and the hard training when I was young was not in vain......
"Hahaha......" Beidao Youxiang heard Yao Shuang's words, and actually laughed heartily, as if he didn't care about Yao Shuang's face at all. Naked ridicule, Yao Shuang naturally didn't want to dwell on this issue, pretended to laugh a few times, and then stopped talking.
As everyone knows, Yao Shuang didn't bother to argue at all, at the age of fourteen, when Beidao Youxiang was still hiding in the Shadow Castle to practice martial arts, Yao Shuang had already traveled all over the country, experienced the suffering of the world, and his skills were not at all beyond the reach of Beidao Youxiang who sat in the well and watched the sky.
Of course, Yao Shuang didn't explain these words much because of his identity, and he didn't bother to explain them at all.
Just when Yao Shuang was silent, Beidao Meihui in Stonehenge under the high platform had already succeeded in the trial, and the results were also unexpectedly good, entering the north and exiting the south, which took less than a quarter of an hour, and passed perfectly.
At this time, Yao Shuang smiled at the corner of the Seventh Elder's eyes, and finally gained a trace of popularity.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, five more teenagers passed the trial, a few were happy and a few were sad, but the face of the eighth elder was always the same, unhappy and not disappointed, as if he was waiting for some important person to appear.
At noon, the sun was shining directly, and the long shadow of the boulder had shrunk into black dots, and at this time, a bright-eyed girl flashed out from under the high platform, and after she saluted several elders, she jumped into the boulder henge.
The Guardian looked down at the registration book in his hand, and shouted impatiently: "Second Order ......"
With the shout of the guardian, this hesitant pause, everyone inside and outside the field, including on the high platform, showed a look of surprise, and the North Island Youxiang and the Seven Elders faction stood up in surprise, and looked at the fair girl in Stonehenge with wide round eyes one by one, as if they couldn't believe that his shadow ninja clan had such a genius.
"Eighth, you...... Are you sure she's second-order? The Seventh Elder exclaimed in surprise and then turned his head to look at the Eighth Elder, who was as steady as Mount Tai, and asked softly in some incredulity. This girl is a disciple of the Second Elder, so he naturally knows best.
The Eighth Elder chuckled, and said lightly, "Seventh Brother, you heard it right, her talent is enough for her to directly skip the first-order trial and be promoted to a true assassination ninja. After the Eighth Elder said this, he stopped paying attention to the Seven Elders who were standing still, and instead shouted at the guardian, "You can continue!" ”
The guardian suppressed the surprise in his heart, wiped the sweat from his forehead, he himself is just an assassination ninja, among the six ninjas, there is such an amazing talent, speaking of which, only the whirlpool of the fire ninja two hundred years ago is too comparable to it.
Blessed by the Black Spirit Patriarch, is my Shadow Ninja about to rise?
The Guardian breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down his excitement, and turned to speak aloud: "The second order, 'Trial of Assassination', medium difficulty, Trialist Kitajima Shengxiang, is only thirteen years old!" ”
