Chapter 157
After the talks in the Land of Rain, the pattern of the ninja world was readjusted.
The Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire, in the form of an official notice, is willing to transfer the honorary title of the head of the five great powers to the Land of Thunder.
Similarly, Konoha also made the same decision as the Daimyo Mansion of the Fire Country, feeling that the military strength of the village had seriously declined, so in a very euphemistic way, he would respect the decision of the Cloud Hidden Village when it came to important events that would decide major events in the ninja world.
It is also a disguised step back from the throne of the strongest ninja village, and Yunyin Village will take the position.
Although this so-called strongest does not actually have any rule effect, the so-called national and ninja village fame is also a very important part of the reason why the big powers fight each other.
The Land of Thunder and the Land of Fire have been fighting for decades, also to win the throne of the number one in the ninja world. Now, with the assistance of the Ghost Country, it can be regarded as a wish, and a long-cherished wish for decades has been fulfilled.
In this regard, the Land of Thunder and Yun Yin also expressed their hope to deal with things peacefully to the Land of Fire and Konoha, and after returning to the village, Thunder Shadow immediately issued an order to evacuate the Cloud Hidden Ninja Legion stationed on the border of Yuno Kuni, which made Konoha breathe a sigh of relief. In general, the relationship between the two countries and the two ninja villages seems to be much more harmonious on the surface.
But from the perspective of competition, the mustard between the two countries and the two ninja villages has also deepened because of this.
That's exactly what Shiraishi wants to achieve.
As traditional super-large countries, the five major powers are powerful lord states whose population, territory, and resources are incomparable to small countries.
If you don't carry out splitting actions against the five major powers, it won't be so easy for the country of ghosts to really enter the stage of history.
In addition, there is another thing, that is, the five great powers, the land of fire, the country of thunder, the country of earth, and the country of water, the daimyo of the four countries, and the shadow of the ninja village, speak together and are willing to recognize the identity of the sixth great country of the country of ghosts.
After that, the Land of the Wind also spoke out along with it, following the voices of the four great powers, and acknowledging the status of the sixth great power of the Oni Country.
However, due to the special state system of the country of ghosts, the military power that represents the country is not the ninja village, but the military. The Oni no Kuni military is a mix of ninjas and soldiers formed by ordinary people. Therefore, the five-shadow system did not form the six-shadow system.
According to known information, the number of troops in the Oni Country military has reached more than 100,000.
But the proportion of ninjas in the army is only a dozen, less than 10,000 people.
Compared with the number of more than 10,000 ninjas in the five major ninja villages, the country of ghosts is indeed a shortcoming in the cultivation of ninjas.
However, compared to small countries, the power of the country of ghosts has risen more than one notch.
Therefore, the daimyo of the five major countries also congratulated the five major powers on the joint declaration that the country of Oni had become the sixth power, and sent a delegation to the country of oni to meet with the shrine maiden.
Rather than congratulating, coveting the powerful armament of the country of ghosts is what these small countries really want.
Twenty rain ninjas, with the help of weapons, easily slaughtered the eight hundred ninjas of the Fire Country.
For a small country that is weak and has no military strength, if the country of ghosts can sell these extremely lethal weapons, it will at least have enough confidence to speak out in the international community, so that it will not be arbitrarily manipulated by the big powers.
◎
To receive foreign missions, you don't need to be personally received by Shiraishi, the military minister, unless it is a mission at the level of the five major powers, an embassy from a small country, and let the diplomats from the government deal with it.
As for the sale of weapons to small countries, this is still under consideration.
Trading arms is certainly a way to get rich, but it will inevitably be blocked by the people of the five major powers.
After all, in the previous year, the traditional five great powers had sent a mission to negotiate with the country of ghosts, hoping that the arms of the country of ghosts would not be sold to smaller countries.
It's just that the country of ghosts has been delaying, so they can provide new weapons to the rain ninjas and defeat the ninja army of the country of fire.
But with the end of this war, the great powers have a more intuitive view of the new weapons of the Oni Country.
Their idea of forbidding the Oni Country from selling arms to smaller countries has intensified.
Even the Iron Country, which remained neutral, sent an embassy to hope that the Oni Country would comply with the wishes of the other great powers and avoid upsetting the inherent balance of the ninja world.
That's right, in order to maintain peace, so no class can cross.
This also made Shiraishi understand more that the ninja world is a hierarchical and orderly country.
People, the state, as long as they stay in their own field for a lifetime to complete the work, break the class, will inevitably be eaten by secular conventions.
The idea of the Iron Nation is simple and easy to understand.
Because the weapons of the Ghost Country are not sold to small countries, then the cold weapons business of the Iron Country can continue to be maintained.
The daimyos, nobles, and armies of the Iron Country all relied on the sale of their own arms to make ends meet.
If the Oni Country's arms are sold to smaller countries on a large scale, the Iron Country's arms trading system will be dealt an unprecedented blow, causing the country's finances to be in trouble.
"It's really ...... to ask others to stand still and maintain the so-called balance without trying to improve the country's environment."
When Shiraishi saw the letter from the daimyo of the Iron Country, his feelings were undoubtedly complicated.
It also means that the future road of the Ghost Country will be more difficult.
Just messing up the country of waves in a land of projectiles, he invested a lot of money that he didn't know if he could get back to his roots, and he completely made enemies with the country of fire, which also made the country of thunder vigilant.
The so-called carp jumping over the dragon gate, in the world of solidified levels, how difficult it is, Shiraishi has deeply experienced.
In this world where people's wisdom is not yet popular, even the civilians at the bottom do not have the idea of striving upward.
Unless you have reached a dead end, you will think of resisting.
At first, he also wanted to reform in a moderate way in the country of waves.
But reforming a country's most fundamental institutions, even the ruling class, is bound to be accompanied by violence and war.
Peaceful evolution is only an ideal of beauty, but in fact it cannot be done at all.
If they don't push the people at the bottom to a desperate situation, they don't think about whether the hierarchy of this world is supposed to be the way it should be.
To embark on this path is to either break with established traditions or die in the struggle.
The country of waves will continue to be in turmoil, and the country of fire will not stop there.
It is the gateway to the Fire Country, and it is not in the interest of the Fire Country to let the Demon Country occupy it at will.
Moreover, the country of ghosts can no longer use the country of thunder, the country of earth is a wall-by-side, and the country of water will not intervene too much for various reasons.
Next, the Oni Country will face the great power of the Fire Country and the Wind Country.
If you are not careful, you may plunge the country of waves into a place of no return, and the organized migrant workers will be slaughtered by the ninjas.
Such is the brutality of resistance.
You can die at any time.
It is true that, in Shiraishi's view, in the case of feudal rulers, they wanted commoners to always be commoners, and nobles to always be nobles.
Those who are ignorant will be ignorant for the rest of their lives.
This is conducive to the rule of the upper classes.
However, in order to develop national strength, it is necessary to apply knowledge and wisdom.
This is where the contradiction with the feudal ruling class arises.
For the ignorant have no knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, in a hierarchical world, the development of national power will always be slow, and there may even be regression and stagnation.
In favor of domination, it must be fixed in rank.
In order to strengthen the country, it is necessary to return to the weapon called knowledge, but the new technology created with knowledge will impact the original ruling class.
The idea of the Iron Country, Shiraishi did not understand.
However, the development of a country cannot rely on the idea of restricting the technology of other countries.
Because it is impossible to stop the technology of the Oni Country, it will become more combative when the outside is blocked.
However, even if Shiraishi said this, he didn't think that the daimyo of the Iron Country would do this, which would be detrimental to the interests of the daimyo and the nobility.
Moreover, the most important thing behind this is the five major powers.
The last thing they want is for the weapons of the Oni Country to spread to the territory of a small country.
"It's a lot more stressful than I thought......
Shiraishi frowned.
There are many ways to break the game, so how to arrange the next policy?
Because of his decision, it will affect the life and death of many people.
Resistance requires sacrifice, but senseless sacrifice is meaningless.
This is a long-term struggle, and it is impossible to decide the winner in a short period of time.
Just as Shiraishi was thinking about this, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Shiraishi lifted his brow and looked at the door.
A delicate-looking adult woman appeared there, walked in calmly through the door, and smiled at Shiraishi, "Mr. Shiraishi, I'm back." Are you still working? ”
"It's you, Lynn. Why, is the trip between you and Obito over? ”
Shiraishi collected his mood and asked with a smile.
Seeing his long-lost student, Shiraishi's mood rarely improved.
"Yes, not only that, but we also brought back some unexpected 'gifts.'"
A mysterious smile appeared on Lynn's face.
"Gifts?"
Bai Shi's face was slightly stunned, and he didn't know what trick Lin was doing.
"It's about Xiao."
Lynn spat out the words.
"Xiao!"
Hearing that it was related to the Xiao organization, Shiraishi immediately became solemn.
◎
An hour later.
Shiraishi, Ayane, Ruri, and Rin appear together in a large laboratory.
In the center of the laboratory, several white-gloved staff members examine a few stones on the table with instruments.
These stones were brought back from a place called the country of Lieta.
According to Rin's relay, Orochimaru sent his men to mine the stones in the country of Lietuo, so she and Obito guessed that these stones must not be simple objects.
Because she and Obito really couldn't see any use for the stones, they brought them back for professional testing.
About half an hour passed, and several staff members whispered to each other for a while, and one of them came over and said to Shiraishi, "Lord Shiraishi, the test results are out." ”
"Well, what the hell are these stones? It's probably not any ordinary stone. ”
The staff member nodded and said, "These stones are indeed not ordinary stones. Rather, it is a fossil born after the death of the organism and the body under the cover of sediment and sediment. ”
"Fossils!?"
Shiraishi and the others looked stunned.
They guessed that the stones came from something extraordinary, but they didn't expect them to be linked to fossils.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, for sure. And if the results of our tests are not wrong, these fossils were a creature called a 'dinosaur' before they were born. ”
“……”
Linking Orochimaru with dinosaur fossils, Shiraishi suddenly felt that there was a sense of dissonance in the picture.
Lin also remembered something, and said: "Speaking of which, when I was traveling in the Lietuo Country, I heard that in the ancient times, there was a creature called the 'Dragon Beast' that lived in the territory of the Lietuo Country. Is that a dinosaur? ”
Lynn is no stranger to dinosaurs, and in some rare collections, it is indeed recorded that in ancient times, before the birth of humans, the land was occupied by a group of creatures called 'dinosaurs'.
"Drake? That's the different names that come from different regions. At least in the accepted academic system of the ninja world, these creatures are called dinosaurs. The dragon beast should be the name of the Lietuo country's own people, but it originally meant to refer to the same kind of creature. ”
The staff tilted their heads and said.
This sentence made Shiraishi and others quite recognized.
But then, the question arises, what is Orochimaru doing looking for these dinosaur fossils?
"Is it because their organization is very financially tight, so they want to find dinosaur fossils and sell them for money?"
Ayane complained.
Liuli echoed it very rarely.
"If they don't have any other purpose, maybe they are."
Shiraishi pondered there, anyway, using fossils to sell for money is not like Orochimaru's style.
Moreover, fossils may only be collectible in the hands of ordinary people, but for ninjas like Orochimaru, who have gone off the beaten path, it is a bit intriguing to see what changes will occur.
"Thank you for your hard work, these dinosaur fossils, you can continue to study. If there are any additional gains, don't hesitate to report back to me. ”
Shiraishi said.
"Yes."
The staff reassured up.
Walking out of the laboratory, a few people walked in the aisle of the research institute, and Ayane suddenly remembered something and said, "Speaking of which, from the fossils, it should be possible to extract the DNA of ancient creatures." ”
Shiraishi didn't expect Ayane to say such a thing, but he still nodded and replied to her, "It can indeed be extracted, what's wrong with this?" ”
"I remember that in the past, Orochimaru used forbidden techniques to summon the two brothers who were dead, the first Hokage and the second Hokage, who were dead."
Ayane's expression became solemn.
Because the technique is too special, Ayane still remembers Orochimaru's forbidden technique.
Hearing Ayane say this, Shiraishi and the others' faces changed drastically, and they all noticed the criticality of the problem.
"Reincarnated in the Dirt!"
That's right, Orochimaru's forbidden technique of summoning the dead to fight is called Filthy Earth Reincarnation.
It is a forbidden technique created by the second generation Hokage of Konoha Thousand Hands.
In the art of reincarnation of the deceased, the condition for reincarnating the deceased is that the DNA of the deceased is required.
If Orochimaru's purpose in taking these fossils was not to collect and sell them for money, then he had only one purpose in collecting them.
The DNA of dinosaurs was extracted from dinosaur fossils, and the ancient extinct dinosaurs were re-summoned by forbidden arts, and used as combat tools.
Thinking of this possibility, a look of chagrin appeared on Lynn's face.
"If I had known this, I should have let Obito take all the stones with me. If you chase it now, it is estimated that it will be too late, and now those fossils have been transferred by Orochimaru. ”
Both she and Obito believe that even if these stones were extraordinary, they should not pose any threat, so they just collected some of them and brought them back to study.
Now, it is likely that Orochimaru went to the Lietuo country to remove the fossils in order to get the DNA of the dinosaurs.
Orochimaru wants to use the DNA in these dinosaur fossils to create a dinosaur army organized by dinosaurs.
"Are dinosaurs strong?"
Unlike Rin's focus, Ruri cares about whether this creature called a dinosaur is powerful.
Although she knew about the existence of dinosaurs, they were creatures that lived on the ancient earth after all, and in terms of antiquity, it was older than the time when the Six Dao Immortals existed.
"For ordinary people, it should be said to be very strong. In fact, it's the same as a large psychic beast. ”
Shiraishi describes it in intuitive terms.
"If that's the case, it doesn't seem like a nuisance."
As for the immortality of the Filthy Earth Reincarnation, it is enough to use the soul type sealing technique to target it.
This is not a difficult thing for the country of ghosts.
"Indeed, if it was just an ancient dinosaur, it was really not strong for a ninja. Liuli, you turn on Susanenghu, you should be able to do a row of dinosaurs. But I'm worried that it's not this, I'm worried that Orochimaru will add some strange condiments to make the resurrected dinosaurs mutate. ”
The monster of the Oni Country is a mutant created by combining a large number of negative emotions of humans with Chakra.
In the era when dinosaurs existed, there was definitely no chakra.
Therefore, even if the ancient dinosaurs are resurrected in the modern era, in the face of the supernatural abilities of the ninjas, they will present a one-sided slaughter.
But the current era is slightly different from ancient times, and after combining with Chakra, Shiraishi can't imagine what it would have mutated into.
It will definitely be much trickier than normal ancient dinosaurs, and with the immortality of the reincarnation of the filthy earth, it will be even more difficult.
The white stone hurts.
Compared to Jiraiya, who can use immortal arts, the most tricky person among the three ninjas is Orochimaru, who has mastered many forbidden arts.
Although this idea is not the first time, the danger level of Orochimaru will be raised by several levels from now on.
"A mutant dinosaur sounds like a good opponent."
Ruri doesn't have such worries as Shiraishi, she only cares about the creature called the dinosaur, and when the time comes, it will be more realistic to cut it with Susa Nenghu than to cut people.
At this time, Lin spoke again: "What I brought back from the Lietuo Kingdom is not only these dinosaur fossils, but also the six immortal secret treasures found by the Great Snake Pill, which were snatched back from the Great Snake Pill by Obito. That's it. ”
As she spoke, Rin took out a bamboo tube with a charm attached to it from her ninja bag.
"Six Immortal Secret Treasures?"
Shiraishi picked up the bamboo tube that Lin handed over, revealing a look of curiosity.
However, it is impossible to know what is inside the bamboo tube just from the appearance, so I have to test it next.
But since it is related to the Six Dao Immortals, it must not be a mortal thing.
"It is said that the Six Dao Immortals had a strange disease in the past, and after going to the Lietuo Kingdom, they split a meteorite that fell from the sky, and obtained a meteorite substance called 'Polar Particle' from it, and then the strange disease of the immortals was cured. And this polar particle substance was divided into two parts by the Six Dao Immortals, one of which was placed in the 'Six Lakes' of the Lietuo Kingdom, which is the one we have in our hands now. ”
"Meteorite material? Something in space? But can a meteorite falling from the sky split apart, can humans do such a thing? ”
Shiraishi's face is solemn.
Thinking of the legendary deeds of the six immortals who created the moon, it may be true.
It is unimaginable that with the power of chakra, such a state can be reached.
Ayane was on the sidelines responding to Shiraishi's question.
"It depends on the size and weight of the meteorite, and how fast it lands. If it's a lighter, smaller meteorite, the landing speed is not too outrageous, and I can break it with a soft fist. However, the body will definitely not be able to bear it after that. ”
Because her body will be injured by the force of the meteorite's fall.
"With human flesh and blood, it is indeed difficult to split a meteorite. But if it were me, a slightly heavier, larger meteorite could also be split. ”
Liuli said quietly.
Her words immediately made Ayane raise her eyebrows.
"You're not right, your Susa is strong, but against meteorites, it's obviously my soft fist that is superior. Because my soft fist is more concentrated than your Susanoo's power, and it can destroy from within objects. Your Susa can be used to clean up the weak miscellaneous soldiers, which is barely good. ”
"The Saki thunder in the Eight Thunder Gods can make the power of Susanenh's sword blade sharper, and even space can be split, let alone a meteorite. Not only can I clean up the miscellaneous soldiers, but I can also deal with strong enough ninjas, and it is also obvious that my power is more concentrated. In contrast, your Divine Air Strike, although the scale of the destruction is also large, will waste a lot of chakra and will not be sustainable. Therefore, whether it is the destructive power of the technique or the concentrated blow, it is obvious that I am stronger. ”
Ruri is also the most merciless picker, with her hands crossed on her chest, and she speaks in a flat tone that states the facts.
"Hehe, it's really interesting, so why don't you find a meteorite and compare it to see whose power is stronger?"
Ayane didn't laugh when she laughed.
"Compare is compare. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it's my strength that is a little stronger. ”
Liuli waved her hand indifferently.
The eyes of the two met, and fierce sparks rubbed in the air.
The sound of sneering resounded in the aisle, causing the surrounding temperature to drop more than once, and the space seemed to freeze.
"Mr. Shiraishi." Lin walked up to Shiraishi's side and whispered, "With two such partners, you should be happy every day." ”
Even she, an outsider, could hear the strong smell of gunpowder.
Shiraishi was silent after hearing this, and suddenly realized that this was an extremely sad topic.
I knew that I shouldn't have been cheap, and I couldn't say anything about whether humans can split meteorites.
I didn't expect that just such a trivial matter, the two of them could quarrel.
Shiraishi shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't pay attention to the two of them, I'll first analyze what this substance called polar particles is." ”
As he spoke, he walked away quickly without looking back, for fear that he would be affected by the struggle between the two in the evening.
◎
"In other words, the mission of the Lietuo Kingdom has failed, right?"
In the tower of Yuyin Village, facing the returning Orochimaru and Xiaonan, Nagato asked rhetorically in a rather regretful tone.
Orochimaru pondered for a moment and replied, "It can't be said to be a complete failure, at least a lot of ancient documents and materials have been brought back there, including some ancient forbidden arts, and I also brought back dinosaur fossils." If combined with the forbidden technique brought back from the Lietuo Kingdom, the ancient dinosaurs can be completely resurrected, and then use the power of the reincarnation eye to transform them, which is enough to form a powerful army of psychic beasts. ”
Nagato nodded slightly, what Orochimaru said was his reincarnation eye forbidden technique.
The corpse can be transformed into a puppet, and even the field of vision can be received synchronously, which has its own advantages with the human puppet technique of the scorpion.
If you can resurrect the ancient dinosaur and use the reincarnation eye to transform it into a psychic beast, it is indeed a force that is not weak.
At the same time, this legion can also be used to provide combat assistance to members who are on missions outside the Akatsuki.
"Moreover, the polar particles are divided into two halves by the six immortals, half of which is divided into the Lietuo Kingdom, and we can go and obtain the other half of the polar particles. However, the action must be done as soon as possible, and the Uchiha Obito also knows that there is another half of the polar particles, and the next Oni no Kuni will definitely try to get the remaining half of the polar particles. We have the advantage of solving all the mysteries in advance and can act ahead of the ghost country. ”
Polar particles are something left by the six immortals to future generations, and it is a mysterious substance from space, not to mention whether this mysterious substance can make ninjas stronger, and it is also a priceless treasure for research itself.
If you can't get this kind of treasure, Orochimaru also feels unwilling.
He swore that the next time he met that Uchiha imp who was playing with the Temporal Hitomitsu, he would definitely give him a 'warmth'.
"In that case, without further ado, then you guys hurry up and get the other half of the polar particles back, and I will personally monitor the movements of the Oni Country."
Nagato said with a serious face.
Although he and Chiba Shiraishi had a lot of cooperation before, it was also for the benefit of both parties.
Moreover, he also paid a great price to let the country of ghosts intervene, not only that, but the country of ghosts also gained the status of the sixth great power, and in the game of the civil war of the rain, the sacrifice paid by the country of rain is undoubtedly huge. Even if the ninja forces of the Daimyo Mansion of the Fire Country were eliminated, it was actually the name of the Oni Country.
The only benefit that the Land of Rain has gained is that it is officially out of the control of the Land of Fire and can develop independently, without having to take into account the contracts signed between Kanzo and the Land of Fire and Konoha during the Third Ninja World War, which are not conducive to the Land of Rain and the Land of Rain.
Orochimaru shook his head, stared at Nagato and said, "No, this matter still needs Nagato, you need to go out in person, and the other half of the polar particles I know where they were placed by the Six Dao Immortals, but with my ability, I can't get there." ”
Xiao Nan remembered that Orochimaru had said the same thing when he was in the Lietuo Kingdom, so he asked, "So, where did the other half of the polar particles be placed by the Six Dao Immortals?" ”
Orochimaru pointed upward.
Nagato and Konan looked up slightly, and saw the ceiling of the room and the chandelier that emitted a dim glow.
"In an altitude area of about two hundred kilometers. The Six Dao Immortals sealed the remaining half of the polar particles inside the meteorite, and used ninjutsu to turn the meteorite into a moon-like moon, which was projected into space and revolved around the earth. ”
“……”
Nagato and Konan fell into a long silence.
"Orochimaru-san, are you sure you're not joking with me?"
At an altitude of 200 kilometers, is that a field that can be reached by humans?
Not to mention whether human beings can reach an altitude of about 200 kilometers, even if they do, how to survive in that harsh environment is a problem.
Even if the physique of a ninja is much stronger than that of ordinary people, they cannot ignore the altitude environment of 200 kilometers.
At least that's not what he can do now.
"Indeed, with the current technology, it is possible to reach such a high altitude. However, we have your reincarnation eye, and you can use the reincarnation eye technique to land meteorites. Since the Six Dao Immortals can launch meteorites into the sky with the Reincarnation Eye, the Reincarnation Eye can definitely also summon meteorites from space. ”
Orochimaru's words reminded Nagato.
"I see. In the forbidden technique of the reincarnation eye, there is indeed a move that can summon a meteorite from space, and the principle is the same as that of the Earth Burst Celestial Star, but the attack method is slightly different. ”
Nagato thought of something, and appreciated Orochimaru's quick thinking even more.
"Even so, how can we find the meteorite that was launched into space by the Six Dao Immortals? After all, you also said that the meteorite that seals the other half of the polar particles is rotating around the earth and moving all the time. ”
Xiao Nan said at this time.
Orochimaru smiled, and under the somewhat frightened gaze of Nagato and Xiaonan, he opened his mouth, and a snake stretched out half of its body from its mouth, and then the snake's mouth opened, and a monocular astronomical telescope stained with slimy liquid was spit out from it.
Orochimaru didn't care about Nagato and Konan's somewhat strange gazes, and spoke in a smug tone.
"I'll hide it from you, but I actually know a thing or two about astronomy. Leave the task of finding that meteorite to me. ”
