Chapter 44: The Ritual
The room is quiet, and the cicadas move outside the court.
After listening to Shikamaru's words, a hint of sneer appeared on Uchiha Fugaku's face.
"Do you know why the big tycoon family became the big tycoon?"
"Blood Inheritance Boundary!"
Shikamaru's calmness was beyond Uchiha Fugaku's expectations, and he didn't feel more interested.
"That's right, it's the blood line. The strength of a ninja is not something that can be achieved by hard work, and some things come from the bloodline, but they cannot be changed. The powerful immortal body of the Thousand Hands Clan, the Writing Wheel Eyes of the Uchiha Clan, and the White Eyes of Hinata, these three bloodline boundaries are all beyond the power of most ninja families in this world, and even, far beyond any other bloodline boundaries. It can be said that the ninjas from these three families have a much higher starting point than other ninjas. The Nara family's shadow technique is very powerful, but it is far from reaching the level of the above three blood inheritance boundaries. ”
Uchiha Fugaku's meaning is clear, that is, the Nara family lacks the necessary conditions to become a wealthy family.
Shikamaru smiled and asked, "So, how did the Blood Inheritance Boundary come about?" ”
"Legend has it that under certain very special circumstances, ninjas can fuse two or more chakras of different natures in their bodies, like the original Hokage's Kikuto. After that, this change is recorded in the bloodline and passed on by future generations. ”
"Shadow Escape. Shadow of the Dark River! ”
As soon as Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, a dark black shadow flowed out of Shikamaru's shadow and quickly expanded to the entire room, sealing all the windows and doors.
Uchiha Fugaku didn't panic, looked at Shikamaru and asked, "What is this?" ”
"This is my blood inheritance boundary, a new escape technique that combines yin and yang escape, shadow escape!"
Shadows flowed from the walls and floors, and the room seemed completely cut off from the outside world.
Uchiha Fugaku's face was solemn, and he found that in this small world, his eyes had changed into kaleidoscope writing wheels without hindrance.
"Shadow? A new line of bloodlines? ”
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Shikamaru again, only, this time, his eyes completely changed.
"Combining Yin and Yang, is this kind of power that only exists in the legendary Six Dao Immortals, the ancestors of the ninja world? With this kind of power, Nara is indeed qualified to form an alliance with my Uchiha. But what to do after that, after the union of our two clans? ”
Shikamaru lifted his technique, and everything in the room changed as before.
"The Uchiha family chose to betray Madara Uchiha and stand with Konoha at the beginning. Now if you seek to rebel again, whether you succeed or not, you have already lost morally. Such a move will not only not win the approval of the other ninjas in the village, but also the internal division of your Uchiha family. So the first step is to give up that stupid plan of rebellion. The die-hard elders of your family, it is up to you to convince. If you can't convince me, I can help you out! ”
Shikamaru smiled leisurely, but the meaning in that tone made Uchiha Fugaku take a deep breath.
"And what's next?"
"In Konoha Village, the Thousand Hands Family has always held the authority. Sarutobi Hizashi and Shimura Danzo seem to be at odds, but if any other family wants to enter the top, they will definitely be hindered by them joining forces with the advisory group. But among Konoha, it is not only Uchiha and Nara who want to enter the center of power, but also Hinata. When the time is right, we can draw it to our side and join forces to put pressure on the Thousand Hands and One Family. ”
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said, "The operation of the Thousand Hands One Family is more stable than you think. Not only our Uchiha, but also Nara, Hinata, and some other medium-sized wealthy families have been infiltrated by them. ”
"That's right! The operation of the Thousand Hands One Series is indeed very stable. However, they also have an Achilles' heel. ”
"Weakness? What is it? ”
"Root!"
........
"Walk slowly! I'll come back next time! ”
As the sun sets, Uchiha Mikoto and Sasuke stand at the door, enthusiastically talking to Kazuharu Shika, who is about to leave.
"What two lovely children! Husband, don't you say? ”
Mai Tamin asked, turning around to find her husband in the courtyard behind her.
"Is it cute?"
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Shikamaru's distant figure, breathed a meaningful sigh of relief, and left here.
"My lord, did Uchiha Fugaku agree?"
Shiro followed Shikamaru down the trail and asked.
"Fugaku has promised to ally with us. It's just that he has to hold some alliance ceremony! ”
Shikamaru was a little puzzled, why did Uchiha Fugaku care about such a vain thing?
"The ceremony of forming an alliance between the ninja clans is very ancient and sacred, symbolizing the friendship between the two clans. Uchiha Fuyue Ken did this, which shows that he is sincerely in alliance with the lord. ”
Unlike Shikamaru, Shiro still knows some anecdotes that originated between ninja families during the Sengoku period.
"There is no problem here in Konoha Village for the time being. The whereabouts of the two Yugiren have also been detected. Now, it's all that is left. ”
"My lord! Isn't there any problem with Yahiko-sama's side? ”
Shiro followed behind Shikamaru and said with some concern.
"It's a gamble. Although Yahiko is ready, there is still a big risk. Still, I'm sure Yahiko will win all the chips in the end. What really worries me is Orochimaru! This guy wants to come to Konoha himself! ”
"What?"
Bai was a little surprised, you know, Shikamaru didn't have Orochimaru in his plan.
"This guy told me that Konoha must be very lively at that time, so I don't want to miss it." Shikamaru looked at the scenery in front of him and had a headache, "Although Orochimaru knows Konoha very well. But during the alliance ceremony between Konoha and Shayin, the entire Konoha must be on guard. Maybe Jiraiya and Tsunade will be there then. If his whereabouts are revealed, it will be very troublesome! ”
"Could Orochimaru have any other intentions?"
Orochimaru, unlike the other ninjas, did not join Akatsuki and was not a member of Shikakure Village. Bai is always a little wary of this person.
"His intentions?"
Shikamaru naturally doesn't think that Orochimaru is just full of food and has nothing to do to watch the show. What can make Orochimaru care must be something amazing. And this thing was able to make Orochimaru sneak into Konoha in person at any risk, which made Shikamaru more and more curious.
"Anyway, let Yahiko's side get ready. The fourth generation of Kazekage Raksha has already set off, and the time to reach Konoha Village is approaching. ”
"I see, my lord!"
Bai nodded and said.
