Chapter 25: Contracts
Rhythmic tapping of fingers on the tabletop makes a sound in the office.
The military operation reports transmitted from all over the world, and everything in detail is presented in the report, so that Shiraishi can intuitively feel the complex and diverse changes in the situation in various parts of the ninja world.
The internal situation of small countries such as the country of Ikeno and the country of Gray has basically been effectively controlled, and as long as there are no problems with the country of ghosts as the backing, then these small countries can smoothly transform in the direction he expected, and there will be no unexpected changes in the middle.
However, this is also thanks to the unanimous acquiescence of the remaining powers in this matter.
I probably thought that as long as I completed the next layout for the country of ghosts, then, no matter how much I lost, I could get back everything I lost after victory, and even more.
In the past six months, various countries have submitted diplomatic documents to the country of ghosts under various and impeccable excuses, and have taken practical actions, and trade transactions with each other have become more frequent, showing the friendly appearance of peaceful coexistence among major powers and jointly ruling the general direction of the ninja world.
The purpose of this is not only to appease, but also to explore the truth and find out some of the internal situations in the country of ghosts.
And the matter of the country of the pool, presumably the country of fire Ye got the excuse of 'sufficient', and then, we only need to pay attention to when Konoha will act next.
The time for the attack was set for December, but the specific date has not yet been set.
However, Shiraishi was not worried about this, and he would soon know the precise time of Konoha to attack the country of demons from the lost position, so as to make corresponding arrangements.
The materials, weapons and equipment, and personnel mobilization needed for the war, even if there is no need to enter the preparatory work in advance, with the current organizational and mobilization capabilities of the Oni Country and the reserve of materials, it is enough to turn defense into attack in an instant, and turn the disadvantage into the advantage of one's own position.
This is based on the organizational skills of the Oni Country and the other five powers.
The most real criterion for a qualified industrial country is not only reflected in the country's industrial capacity, but also in the country's ability to mobilize and organize, whether it can effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of its own people, and so on, which are all very important capacity embodiments, not absolutely reflected in the country's industrialization capacity.
After all, when things go well, everyone will have smooth sailing and play a good victory.
But only when difficulties come, can the most precious resilience of a person, an organization, and a country be brought into full play.
This is a precious quality that is better than steel, more than ninjutsu.
Looking at the military reports submitted from all over the country, Shiraishi's mood was rarely relaxed.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and Ruri walked in from the outside.
Holding a sealed folder in his hand, he casually threw it on Shiraishi's desk.
"The plan of action for Wuyin has been planned, and here is the list of people involved, as well as all the materials and equipment needed."
"Hmm......" Shiraishi picked up the plan and read it, nodding slightly, "The people who participated in the direct battle were all members of the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan...... Is that enough? β
Although he handed over the sea area defense map of the next military operation against the Ghost Country of the Fog Hidden Village, no matter how he said it, the low-level Fog Hidden Ninja who participated in the war was obviously unaware.
They can't just be caught.
"No problem, when the time comes, I will personally take action to control the situation as soon as possible to avoid accidents. You might as well worry about the situation on the other side than on my side. β
Ruri said.
Shiraishi understood who Ruri was talking about, and in the war that was about to break out, Ruri was responsible for dealing with the fog, and the task was the easiest.
Ayane is in charge of targeting Iwakure.
There are other arrangements for Sand Hide and Konoha .
In order to take the country of ghosts by surprise, it is impossible for these villages to activate a large army to press down on the army at the first time, but to adopt a strategy of lightly armed, and in terms of the number of personnel, they will carry out a certain control.
Compared to the three villages of Fog Hide, Sand Hide, and Konoha Village, Ayane's responsibility for Iwakure must hurt them and play a psychological shadow, so that Iwakure does not dare to act rashly. The pressure on Ayane is also the greatest.
Otherwise, they would not be able to spare time to concentrate on Miaomu Mountain.
"When the time comes, I will let the mechanized troops move with Ayane, and I will take the ninjas of Iwakure to test the combat effectiveness of this army."
If it is an ordinary mechanized unit, when encountering such an unreasonable existence as a ninja, the deterrent effect will inevitably be greatly reduced.
In particular, the Iwakuin ninjas, who are good at earth retreat, will use a variety of retreat techniques to hinder the movement of mechanized troops.
But this does not mean that mechanized troops will become vulnerable in front of ninjas.
The specific performance still needs to be verified by actual combat data.
At this moment, Shiraishi's shadow suddenly changed from a flat surface to a three-dimensional one, and turned into the appearance of a shadow dancer, standing respectfully beside him.
Shiraishi continued:
"Just in case, the Shadow Dancer and the Sky Feather Maiden will also act with Ayane to deal with the Iwakure ninja."
Ruri glanced at the shadow dancer, raised her eyebrows slightly, and didn't say anything.
β
"Are you back? What are the results of the survey? β
Located above the Hokage Rock, the two advisors went to sleep with Koharu and Mito Menyan and waited for Jiraiya, who returned from outside.
Looking at the way Zilai came back, I knew that Zilai was also out of the investigation mission for a while, and he had a good harvest.
"This kind of thing, by the immortal himself, of course, is simply done." Jiraiya first laughed exaggeratedly in a boastful tone, then slightly restrained the smile on his face, and his tone became slightly serious, "The situation outside is not optimistic, I think it's almost time to take the next step." If this continues, I'm worried that the expansion of the Oni Country will be difficult to contain. β
Unlike the two advisors who stayed at home, he had been out investigating matters related to the Oni Country during this time, especially the military assistance of the Oni Nation against the small countries, and he had gained quite a bit.
Because of this, he was able to intuitively feel the country's rapidly expanding strength and daunting ambition more intuitively than most ninjas in Konoha.
"The supplies and weapons are basically ready, and they are guarded by the Root and Ape Fei clans. However, the most important point is to think about how to deal with Chiba Shiraishi, Uchiha Ruri, and Hinata Ayane. Otherwise, even if the country of ghosts is defeated, as long as these three people are still alive, the defeat of the country of ghosts will be meaningless. β
Zhuan Xiaochun hit the nail on the head and pointed out this point.
"Koharu is right, we are dealing with these three people, and the rest of the ninjas in the country of ghosts are a little more trivial."
Mito Menitis also adheres to the same view.
If these three people are not eliminated for a day, Konoha will not be at peace for a day.
"Of course I know that, but until then, the three of them must be separated and each of them can be defeated. Besides, it is still unknown how many powerful ninjas there are in the country of ghosts under the three of them...... This has to be guarded against. β
Jiraiya looked pensive, his brow furrowed, obviously troubled by this.
"You mean that daughter of Chiba Shiraishi and Ruri Uchiha?"
Mito Menit's seems to have thought of something.
"That's right, it's a monster that is not inferior to her parents at all...... In terms of chakra, I am afraid that it is at the same level as the four generations of Thunder Shadow of Yunyin, and in terms of protracted warfare, it is at the same level as the tailed beast. To fight an opponent like this, even for me, is a lot of pressure. β
Although compared to a few years ago, Jilai also felt that his strength had improved a lot, especially after the fiasco in the Land of Wind, he practiced his immortal arts even harder...... However, due to his own qualifications, he still can't use immortal arts proficiently, and he must 'fuse' with the two immortals of Miaomu Mountain to be able to use immortal arts freely.
Facing the enemy in this state is really a bit reluctant.
And being surpassed by a teenage girl, which makes it very unpleasant for Zilai.
"If it's really as you said, then, Chiba Shiraishi's daughter, I'm afraid it's even more terrifying than the water gate in the past. A true genius, I guess that's it. β
Turning to bed, Koharu sighed.
Although over the years, a new generation of ninjas has emerged in an endless stream, and there are many young ninjas who can be regarded as 'seeds', but none of the talented ninjas like the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate have appeared.
It's as if the heavenly scrolls of the second and third ninja wars in the past no longer belong to Konoha.
Although ninjas focus on collective discipline, individual ninjas, who exist as individuals, are powerful deterrent weapons.
For example, the nine-tailed human pillar force, such as the Hokage, such as the three ninjas...... Because in front of ninjas of this level, it is difficult to achieve good results with simple crowd tactics, and it must be contained by ninjas of the same level.
"Don't be discouraged, as long as you make the pillar strong, Konoha will soon have powerful deterrent weapons other than the Hokage and the Three Shinobi."
Compared with the worries of Koharu, Mito Menyan is still optimistic.
As an advisor, he always pays attention to Naruto's growth, and with the favor of the holy land of Myoki Mountain, he may become the strongest Nine-Tails pillar force in the past.
If this incident becomes a fact, then it will only be a matter of time before Konoha regains the name of the strongest ninja village.
"Immortals? Speaking of which, Jiraiya, it's almost time for Naruto to go to Mt. Myoki and practice the immortal arts there. His basic training has been completed, and I think he should be able to meet the standard of Myoki Mountain Immortal Guidance. β
Turning to bed, Koharu thought of something, and looked up and looked at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya touched his chin and thought, "This matter, in terms of time and growth, Naruto has indeed made great progress in these days. In that case, I'll go talk to Tsunade about it later, and take Naruto to Myoki Mountain to practice in a few days. I'll take advantage of this time to teach Naruto in Mt. Myoki, but in this way, the village ......"
Knowing Jiraiya's surprise, Koharu replied, "The affairs of the village, as well as the next actions, can be handled by us and Tsunade, and when the battle begins, you will come back from Myoki Mountain." Now the voice inside the village is quite unified, which reminds the old body of the exciting moment when everyone united with the outside world during the ninja war in the past...... No matter what setbacks the village suffers, this alone will not change. β
"So, what about Danzang?"
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes and asked the question.
"Once the battle starts, the roots will also move, and this is guaranteed by the group. After all, this time against the country of ghosts, the strong force of the martial arts faction is indispensable. In addition, if the situation allows, you can also let the group go to the front line......"
After a pause, Koharu seemed to be thinking about something.
"You're going to release Danzo?"
Jiraiya's face changed, and he looked at Koharu who was not good.
"You should know about Danzang's use of the Writing Wheel Eye to control the Sun Slash before, right?"
Zhuan Xiaochun didn't answer the rhetorical question, and his eyes showed a strange light.
"So what?"
"That's the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye of the Uchiha Stopping Water, the Writing Wheel Eye of the Stopping Water Writing Wheel Eye Children's Technique 'Farewell Gods', with the ability to tamper with the will of the other party, even if it is an enemy, as long as he hits this trick, he will unconditionally obey the sorcerer. And the recruiter himself is unaware of this, which can be called the strongest writing wheel eye illusion. β
Listening to the creepy words of Koharu, Jiraiya's face became even more gloomy.
"Are you going toβ"
Jiraiya seems to have guessed some of the two men's plans.
"If it's really necessary, I don't care so much. Although it can only control one person, if the illusion is successful, Konoha will have an extremely powerful weapon. β
"Release Tuanzang, you are playing with fire and setting yourself on fire! His power is beyond your control! β
Jiraiya's eyes were filled with anger.
He felt that these two people were completely crazy, and he even thought about releasing Tuan Zang.
Don't they know what the consequences of releasing Tuanzang will be?
When the time comes, it will definitely lead to a struggle for power in the Hokage, which will plunge Konoha into endless civil strife.
Although his teacher, Sarutobi Hizashi, was forced to commit suicide because of Kakashi, if it weren't for Danzo's misguided operation, which provided Kakashi with such a space, this tragedy would not have happened.
It can be said that his teacher Ape Fei Ri passed away, and Tuan Zang also bears a large part of the responsibility.
The sinners of Konoha who attacked the Hokage like this and tried to get their hands on the Hokage's position, he would never compromise on them.
"Jiraiya, we're here for the sake of Konoha's overall interests. The death of the Japanese slash has greatly reduced Konoha's strength. Like you, we are all afraid of Danzou, but his power is indispensable to Konoha today. As long as the end result is favorable to Konoha, then you can give it a try. What's more, we are only suggesting, and we will not necessarily implement it in the end. β
Mito Menyan said categorically.
In this matter, he has the same position as Koharu.
After listening to the remarks of the two advisers, Ziraiya's face turned pale, staring at the two of them, releasing a light as if he was going to eat people, and did not say a word.
β
After returning from Ikeno Kuni, the mission activities of Class 7 were temporarily suspended.
Taking advantage of this rare break, Sakura continued to ask Tsunade for knowledge about strange powers and medical ninjutsu.
It was only after she really came into contact with Tsunade that she understood how knowledgeable Tsunade was in the field of strange powers and medical ninjutsu.
Every time she asks a question, she gets an accurate answer from Tsunade the first time.
Even if it's just a few words, for her, it's like an initiation, and her mouth is suddenly opened.
On this day, Sakura followed Tsunade to practice as usual.
Tsunade also took a rare time to deal with the day's official business in advance, and took a little time to teach Sakura.
I saw that in the clearing of the woods, Sakura was holding a boulder larger than her with both hands, a boulder in tonnage weight, which was also a huge challenge for Sakura, who had just been involved in strange powers.
However, even though she felt the pain in her arms and thighs, and her heart felt more like it was being held by a huge hand, and her breathing became difficult as time passed, Sakura didn't dare to relax in any way before Tsunade called a halt, and maintained a well-proportioned posture to hold the boulder in the air.
It wasn't until the words "Okay, let's put it down" came from the side that Sakura threw the boulder above her head down and made a loud bang when it landed on the ground.
Sakura clapped her palms, dusted off the dust remaining in her palms, and began to gasp quietly, trying to make her panting look less noticeable, and relaxing her body in a minimum.
Tsunade walked over and patted Sakura on the shoulder with his hand, as if testing something.
Sakura only felt her shoulders sink, and her whole body bent downward unobeyed, if it weren't for her last breath, Sakura really wanted to fall to the ground desperately and give up thinking.
"Yes, my body is stronger than before. Looks like I can pick a heavier stone for you next time. β
Tsunade nodded, a look of satisfaction in Sakura's eyes.
The strange power she cultivated was not a specific technique, but a technical concept that used chakra, and the most intuitive manifestation was to develop the destructive power of the flesh to the extreme.
In order to achieve this, it is necessary to have a strong physique.
If she doesn't have a solid body as a foundation, then the most likely result is that before she defeats the enemy, the meridian system in her body will be burst by the concentrated outbreak of chakra, and she will become a wasted person.
Therefore, she would ask Sakura every time that her strange power would increase her physique at the same time as she ascended, so as to achieve a balance between strength and physique.
There are risks in any technique, and the cultivation of strange power is naturally full of obstacles, and it is easy to get started, but if you want to naturally integrate strange power into your body, you need to do it with firm faith.
For example, people who are afraid of hardship, pain, and weak willpower are simply unable to cultivate their strange powers to a high and profound realm.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Sakura wiped the sweat from her face, she didn't complain about being tired, she could feel that her strength and speed had improved significantly compared to half a year ago.
In particular, the body's ability to resist blows is not the same as its past self.
"Hokage-sama, what training are we going to do next? Is it sparring with strange powers? β
Sakura was eager to try, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
I don't know why, since she cultivated strange power with Tsunade, every time she was hit by Tsunade's almost abusive physical blow, her body always began to resist the wind inexplicably, and she always felt itchy hands.
It's like holding a breath in my body, trying to find someone to vent out.
So much so that every time I see a stone on the side of the road recently, I can't help but want to punch and test the power of my fist.
Fortunately, his restraint is strong enough, otherwise he would really become a weirdo in the eyes of others.
In Tsunade's words, this is the so-called "fighting spirit" accumulated from ordinary training.
Strange power is the most direct embodiment of violence, is to use the most primitive body to fight with the enemy, after a long period of contact, the character will inevitably tilt towards violence.
Generally speaking, it is enough to find a target to release on a regular basis, if you hold it in your heart for a long time, it is likely to lead to psychological problems.
"Today's cultivation is almost over, let's do it again next time. Also, your medical ninjutsu hasn't been left behind, has it? β
Tsunade asked.
"Yes, I read medical books every day."
Sakura nodded earnestly.
"Well, in that case, it's almost time to hand that over to you."
Tsunade smiled meaningfully.
"That?"
Sakura tilted her head in confusion.
"The psychic contract of the Wet Bone Forest."
Under Sakura's startled gaze, Tsunade sealed his hands, and with a bang in front of him, he lifted a puff of white smoke, and when the white smoke disappeared, a wide scroll half a person high stood straight and straight in the clearing.
"Jiraiya obtained the inheritance of Miaomu Mountain, the defected Orochimaru obtained the approval of the Dragon Cave, and as a medical ninja, I obtained the psychic contract of the Wet Bone Forest. As the three ninjas, we each represent a holy place. The lineage of the three sacred sites is different, and the emphasis is also very different. Compared to Miaomu Mountain and Longdi Cave, the Wet Bone Forest tends to the healing field, and the slugs summoned are very rare medical-type psychic beasts. β
Tsunade recounts these things to Sakura.
"But is it really okay to hand over something so important to me, Hokage-sama?"
Sakura was amazed.
It was precisely because she knew the names of these sacred places that she felt that Tsunade's 'gift' was too valuable.
Especially for medical ninjas, there is no more suitable psychic beast than this.
"I've seen your efforts these days, and to be honest, I didn't think you would be able to stick with my assignment at first, and I was always hesitant to accept your apprentices. But now, as a result, you've grown more than I expected, so I've decided to officially take you as an apprentice now. And this contract is the proof of the conclusion of the relationship between master and apprentice. β
Tsunade touched Sakura's head, a friendly smile on his face, and his eyes were full of encouragement.
"That is to say......"
Sakura was a little incredulous, looking at Tsunade blankly, unable to react for a while.
"Alright, Sakura-chan, don't stand here in a daze. Hurry up and sign your name on this scroll. β
Tsunade's palm left Sakura's head, urging her to hurry up and sign the name of the contract on the scroll.
"Yes, Hokage...... No, Master! β
Sakura held back her excitement, and under Tsunade's gaze, she opened the half-human-high psychic scroll, and in the latest blank space, she bit her finger and wrote the words 'Haruno Sakura' on it with blood, officially signing a psychic contract with the Wet Bone Forest.
Seeing Sakura sign the contract, Tsunade unleashes the summoning spell, causing the scroll to disappear into a puff of smoke.
"Now that Sakura-chan has signed a contract, let me tell you about the ninjas who have signed a contract with the Wet Bone Forest now. In addition to you and me, there is a third person who has made a psychic contract with the Wet Bone Forest. β
Tsunade's expression became solemn.
"The third person? Also Konoha ninja? β
Sakura asked curiously.
There was a hint of complexity in Tsunade's eyes, and he replied, "No, the other party's Konoha ninja identity only belongs to the past, and he has long since left Konoha many years ago. And you've seen this person, it's Chiba Shiraishi, who commands the country of ghosts, and now the leading medical ninja in the ninja world. He used to be a student I taught at a ninja school, so he's barely your 'senior brother'. β
Sakura-chan was awe-struck and nodded silently, indicating that she remembered.
"You can just know about him, don't worry too much. Next, you'll learn this technique while training in strange powers and medical ninjutsu. β
As he spoke, Tsunade took out a green scroll from his arms and placed it in Sakura's hand.
Sakura took the scroll.
"It's ......"
"I've created an original technique, and for you, the sooner this technique is accumulated, the better. In addition, the contents are read here and memorized. In the end, I will put a sealing technique in your mind as a safe, so that the secret of this technique will not be stolen by outsiders. β
Tsunade said with a serious expression.
Sakura was stunned for a moment, and then agreed:
"Yes."
