The ground shook and the mountains shook, and even the Ziyuan City Military Region, which was more than ten kilometers away, felt the abnormal shaking of the ground.

Although this vibration is very small, it is blocked a lot by the shock absorbing device under the military area, and ordinary people can't feel anything, but as a ninja, they can clearly feel the slight changes in the ground under their feet.

And such a change is nothing more than the impact of the battle brought by the two supreme powers.

As long as you are a ninja who has seen the big scene, you deeply understand how devastating the aftermath caused by the battle between the two supreme ninjas is.

And such ninjas, among the *** side of the ghosts, there are also a few.

"Why don't you see it for yourself? This is a unique opportunity."

Standing on the roof of a building, looking at the white stone in the direction of the battlefield, I heard a voice coming from behind me.

Footsteps approached.

It's Sasuke Uchiha. With perceptual ninjutsu, even if he didn't look back, Shiraishi knew that it was him who came to find him.

Compared with before, the other party's breath seems to have become more calm.

It seems that what I have gained this time is not only the improvement of strength, but also the personality has become a lot more stable.

That's kind of a good thing.

For Sasuke, who came to his side and asked this question, Shiraishi just said indifferently with an indifferent attitude, "What is there to see about the battle between two women. If you want to know what kind of strength they have gained when they wake up, just ask them to write a simple report later."

After all, such a terrifying thing, he didn't want to go over and watch it in person.

lest you fall into a whirlpool of troubles afterwards. Even if he really wanted to see how much the strength of Ruri and Ayane was compared to before.

And such an improvement, with the strength of the induction chakra, cannot be concretely manifested.

But Shiraishi didn't want to take the risk himself. "You seem to be scared of the two of them." Sasuke said strangely.

Even though Shiraishi disguised it well, Sasuke felt it. "Individually, nothing to fear. But when two people collide together, it's terrifying."

Shiraishi lowered his voice slightly, and said to Sasuke in a tone that had come over.

Sometimes, triangles aren't the most stable. "Really?"

Sasuke felt that he would never be able to comprehend such distress for the rest of his life. Therefore, it is not convenient for him to express any opinion.

"To be honest, I've seen ninjas from many countries, but the military power of the Oni Country is unique, and with the military power of the Oni Country, it already has the strength to dominate the ninja world."

Sasuke voiced his doubts.

"The Oni Country does have an advantage in this regard, but such an advantage is not enough to form a sideways situation. Moreover, no matter how big the family is, it can't just take the tactic of injuring the enemy by one thousand and injuring eight hundred, and the country of ghosts can't afford it. Ninja is not only a symbol of military strength, but also the foundation for maintaining stability. On the premise of reducing your own casualties, it is most beneficial to consume the enemy's living force as much as possible."

Shiraishi has always adopted this tactic.

He doesn't care about the loss or gain of a city or a place, he hopes to establish his own advantage by weakening the living forces of the enemy country.

Although it is said that if people lose land, everyone and land are gained, but if the living force that can fight is exhausted, no amount of land will help.

Only the annihilation of living forces is the strategic foundation that Shiraishi has set for the country of ghosts.

Talent is the greatest resource.

The death of every living force is a great loss in Shiraishi's eyes.

Sasuke nodded, he also knew something about the basic strategy set by the Oni Country. Every battle is mainly about annihilating the enemy, and occupying territory is the logical result of the battle.

Under the advantages of the other, the country of ghosts can preserve its own strength in several battles and steadily improve.

If it weren't for the fact that the Fourth Ninja World War repeatedly weakened the power of the five great powers, now five

The ninjas that the alliance of great powers can come up with are not only 120,000.

Maybe another 20,000 or 30,000 ninjas can be added.

And twenty or thirty thousand ninjas can also produce a lot of deterrence in this ninja war.

"This is done, and I'm going to return to the border patrol. Any new instructions?"

Sasuke asked.

The biggest purpose of his transfer back from the front line this time was to assist in research, and now that Liuli's Eternal Eye project has been completed, there is no need for him to stay here any longer.

Compared with a stable rear, the front line, where battles may occur at any time, is more suitable for his inner thoughts.

"If the intelligence department's intelligence is accurate, the Alliance Army has invested a total of 25,000 ninjas in the Tsuchino Kuni theater. At that time, it will be a good experience for you."

Shiraishi said with a smile.

Twenty-five thousand ninjas, Sasuke also took a slight breath when he heard this number.

Although he possessed the power of an eternal kaleidoscope, his heart was still a little heavy in the face of this number of ninjas.

Not because of fear, but because of ..... Are you going to kill so many people yourself?

Wreak havoc in Konoha is a choice made by yourself in pain, anger, and loss of reason.

Can you do this on your own while staying sane?

In the face of Shiraishi's teasing, Sasuke fell into a brief silence. "Cowardly?"

"There's one thing I don't know if I can do, it's more than 20,000 lives."

Sasuke said in a deep voice.

"This is war. I will not say what is the necessary sacrifice, the so-called sacrifice, unnecessary and unnecessary..... Struggling to survive is the truest portrayal of everyone. War is an epic written in blood. If you don't want it, I can give you an easier mission and move you to the rear command." Shiraishi said lightly.

"No, I want to see the war that Itachi talked about. I want to see for myself what war and peace really are. As you said, practice is the most important thing. Stay behind, I'll never understand what the truth is."

Sasuke didn't hesitate to say no.

Although I felt extremely sorry in my heart, I didn't lose my fighting spirit in the face of the tragic life.

"There's one more thing I want to ask you for, and I haven't had a chance to say that day."

Sasuke paused, seeming to hesitate. "What's the matter?"

"Indra...... Do you know this person? I remember the day I killed Orochimaru, you came to me and mentioned this person."

Sasuke looked directly at Shiraishi's side face.

Shiraishi was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at Sasuke. "You..... Have you seen him?"

"About a few days before I returned."

"Really? Did you accept what he left for you?" Shiraishi asked.

"No, I didn't think he was a good guy, so I refused. Sasuke is wary of Indra

Shiraishi nodded faintly, indicating that he understood.

"He won't hurt you, and although I can't interfere in this kind of thing from my standpoint, he's just guilty and wants to make some amends to you. However, the choice is up to you."

"I see, I'll talk about it then. And the person who solved the Great Snake Pill for me is him."

Sasuke did not respond directly to the question.

"Okay, my doubts are gone, then I take my leave, and say hello to the patriarch for me."

With that, Sasuke sealed with one hand, and his body disappeared in a puff of smoke, and the one who came to say goodbye to Shiraishi was just a shadow clone of him.

Shiraishi looked at where Sasuke had left, glanced at the battlefield in the distance, and then turned away as well, walking towards the research institute below.

.....Lord Shiraishi."

The developer, dressed in a white coat, bowed slightly to the arrival of Shiraishi

Greet.

"How's the matter with the production of natural energy potions?"

Shiraishi casually picked up a glass test tube, which contained the natural energy potion developed by the research department of the Oni no Kuni.

This is a special tube that can greatly improve the human physique and allow ordinary people to gain extraordinary strength.

Although it is impossible for people to reach the level of middle forbearance all at once, the standard lower forbearance strength can be promoted in one step. However, this embodiment is only in physical arts.

And if you encounter the kind of adaptation that is in tune with the natural energy, the increase in strength is even more significant.

At present, among the strengthened soldiers trained by the Oni Country, there are very few individuals who have the super physical skills to fight against the upper ninja. And these very few individuals are incomparably compatible with natural energy, and their physique is more receptive to the fusion of natural energy.

In the army mastered by the demon party, ninjas are still the main force, but the number is very small, and they are all used on important battlefields.

The reinforced soldiers, although weaker, are superior in numbers. If they are equipped with industrial weapons and a little training, they can also exert their strength not weaker than that of ninjas.

Therefore, strengthening the soldier plan is a link that the top management of the ghost party attaches great importance to.

In Shiraishi's eyes, the first stage of strengthening the human body with natural energy is to inject all the people in the country of ghosts first, so as to strengthen the body, delay aging, and increase the vitality of the entire country.

Then it radiates to the surrounding allies, and finally the entire ninja world.

However, for now, the country of ghosts is far from even achieving the first phase of the plan, and can only be self-sufficient in the military area.

For one, it is not possible for the military to devote its efforts to this plan at the moment, leaving the development of the rest of the departments on hold.

Second, there are still enemies in the country of ghosts, and it is not yet time to implement this plan on a large scale.

"At present, there are more than 30,000 new batches of medicines. Because it is to eliminate the side effect in the drug, and the number of the factory is added

It's not very sufficient, so in terms of production schedule, it hasn't been able to get up fast."

The main developer hesitated for a moment and reported back to Shiraishi.

Although natural energy is beneficial to the human body to break the limit, it will cause a huge load on the human body if it is not used well, although this can also improve the strength of human beings, but it is the premise of consuming vitality.

Although in the eyes of some developers, if you can quickly increase the military strength of the Oni Country, use the flawed but mass-produced natural energy potion, and sacrifice the soldiers at the bottom a little, it is not a big problem, after all, it is a glorious thing to sacrifice for the plan of the Oni Country.

It's just that such a utilitarian opinion has caused a very fierce debate internally. Many people firmly believe that such a "sacrificial" method that does not care for the safety of soldiers should not be advocated in the country of ghosts, especially if it still plays with one's own human life, which is simply trampling on human rights and the law.

"In other words, there are more than 30,000 more reinforced soldiers now, right?"

Shiraishi frowned. "Yes."

The main developer was beating the drum in his heart, and he didn't know if Shiraishi was satisfied with the result or not.

He knew that more than 30,000 reinforced soldiers seemed to be a lot, but throwing themselves into the battlefield of ninjas, that was what it was. Even if they are fully armed and equipped with industrialized weapons, their combat effectiveness cannot be defeated by ninjas.

The best way to deal with ninjas is to use ninjas.

The biggest role of strengthening soldiers is to assist ninjas in battle, or to maintain law and order.

After all, the way ninjas fight is too violent. Flattening a hill at every turn, shattering a forest or the earth, and I heard that it can completely change the topography of a country...... In the eyes of many people, the power of ninjas is completely unreasonable.

Those armored vehicles with ferocious firepower are as light and brittle as pieces of paper in the eyes of many ninjas.

The birth of the Enhanced Soldier was given the tone from the very beginning, and it was a ninja's auxiliary combat class.

"If Lady Shiraishi is not satisfied, I think it will be possible to reduce the cost of developing the potion. Now that the situation is critical, you can act cheaply."

Another developer stepped up and proposed.

"But in that case, it will take a toll on the soldiers' bodies, and in a more serious way, those soldiers will only have a few years left to live."

The main developer glared at the proposed developer.

"Now the average age of the ninja world is no more than forty years old, and living to be in their thirties can be regarded as a long life. And the big war is coming, they are fighting for the victory of the country, and I think a lot of young people are willing to join in. Their sacrifice is meaningful."

The developers who spoke were unimpressed.

Seeing that there were signs of an argument between the two, Shiraishi shook his head. "There's no need to argue, the cost of the potion can be maintained as it is." "Yes."

The main developer breathed a sigh of relief.

Another developer nodded helplessly.

"Then use these potions on the recruits, for the time being. I'll let you know later."

With that, Shiraishi put down the glass test tube he had been holding in his hand and turned to leave.

O

Thorn Group Lounge.

The men's and women's groups are located at the opposite ends of the lounge, and the men's group is using their vacation time to play poker and kill time. The girl group held a tea party and quietly enjoyed the quiet time in the afternoon.

After all, the task of sweeping the black market bounty hunters made them feel extremely tired, after all, the bounty hunters who had to fight were not simple goods, and even they needed to go all out to defeat. Therefore, after the mission, it is rare for them to be idle, at least until the war, most of them have no urgent tasks.

Just then, the door to the lounge was pushed open.

Deidara, who was playing with clay in her hand, walked in with an excited face.

And as soon as he entered, he naturally attracted the attention of the same group members.

"Why, Deidara, did you encounter something happy?"

Bronze Copper, a wooden ninja who touched the cards, looked curiously at Deidara who was looking at the clay in his hand.

Knowing the personality of the other person, if you don't encounter something very happy, you will never show such an expression.

"Ah, of course it's this!"

Deidara lifted the clay object in her hand like a baby so that everyone could see it clearly.

"It's some kind of bird, right? I think I've seen it somewhere."

Each of their petite Hinata Aoi walked over and looked at the clay object that Deidara had lifted, thinking that they had seen it somewhere.

"This is C5 Phoenix Fire! Hmmm!" Deidara replied with excitement on her face.

"Phoenix Fire? The name of the monster, no wonder it looks so familiar, it turns out to be a monster made up in the picture book of the country of ghosts."

Hinata nodded.

The culture of demon witches in the country of demons is very strong, and in addition to the real monsters, there are many people who think that various demon stories are made up in order to add mysterious elements.

Phoenix Fire is one of them, a kind of firebird monster. "Wait, you said C5!?"

Bronze Copper, a wooden ninja, suddenly stood up in panic and looked at the delicately constructed clay object in Deidara's hand with a look of horror.

Hearing Zitong's panicked shout, the rest of the people also came back to their senses, and their scalps suddenly went numb.

Deidara's 'art', according to its interpretation, is hierarchical.

The weakest is the C1 class bomb, which is the weakest and is basically a guide bomb.

Then there is C2, which is more powerful than C1.

C3 is No. 18, which is a clay material fused with high-density chakra, which cannot be made on site, so it can only be prepared in advance.

It's powerful enough to flatten a forest.

C4 is not known for a while, and no one has seen Deidara use it.

And now Deidara is holding a new bomb called C5 in his hand, which suddenly makes the group members in the break room not calm.

"You art idiot, hurry up and put this dangerous thing away, don't just take it out, what if it suddenly blows up here?"

Copper's face was full of panic.

The rest of them also distanced themselves from Deidara.

Hearing the shout of the copper, Deidara, who didn't have this idea, suddenly subconsciously wanted to inject Chakra and try the power of C5 on the spot.

Fortunately, this idea was suppressed by Deidara. After all, if it is blown up here, even he himself will get instant sublimation.

It's also artistic, but Deidara doesn't want to die so inactive.

"Don't worry, a bomb of this level, even if I want to detonate it, it will take a lot of chakra. Hmm."

Deidara put the C5 Phoenix Fire into the ninja bag like a baby and stored it carefully.

After all, this is a more aesthetic art than C3 18, and of course you have to take care of it.

"I said why did you lock yourself in your room as soon as you came back, it turned out that you were going to make a new bomb."

Zitong said with palpitations.

"I didn't make it, it's someone from the research department, a by-product of the failure to study the Tailed Beast Jade. Then, according to the characteristics of my explosion, I transformed it into this 'work of art', and named it C5 Phoenix Fire, so that I can use it. Hmm."

Deidara explained.

Judging from his expression, he was very satisfied with this artwork. In terms of appearance alone, it conforms to the aesthetics of his art.

"The madmen." One of the members cursed under his breath.

Deidara's art was already dangerous, but isn't it now in their group to stuff even more dangerous bombs?

Although I know that these bombs need to be detonated by Deidara, what if they suddenly go off fire one day?

Then everyone except for the team leader Yiji, all of them ascended to heaven for free, and they died without dignity.

"A by-product of the failure to study the Tailed Beast Jade...... In other words, this C5-level bomb, after exploding, has the power equivalent to the tailed beast jade?"

There are concerns about this issue.

They knew the power of the Tailed Beast Jade, because their team leader was a humanoid Tailed Beast, which could emit a destructive power equivalent to that of the Tailed Beast Jade.

"No, it seems like it's a little bit close. And in order to fit my explosion, on the basis of the original, the explosion method was slightly changed. It's just a pity that this is disposable, and as long as it is liberated, it cannot be recycled and must be used. Moreover, only this one unique product is currently produced. Hmm."

Deidara pities this.

For this reason, his idea of experimenting with the power of C5 Phoenix Fire in advance was directly ruined.

"You're all here, just right, save me from looking for them one by one." At this time, a somewhat cold voice sounded in the room, and she walked in from the outside

The conversation between the crowd and Deidara ends. "Team Leader."

"Your Highness the Princess."

Kazuhime first glanced around, then his gaze fell on Deidara.

"Deidara, there's a task for you next." "Mission? Is this time?"

There's something strange about Deidara.

"Don't worry, it's not from above, it's my personal assignment for you. If you can do it, I'll start my personal fund and privately sponsor you with a batch of C3 18."

Although Deidara has the ability to make C3 and Eighteen, it takes a long time, and the material cost is not cheap.

As a result, in the past, when he was in the Akatsuki organization, Deidara had never dared to use a bomb of the C3 Eighteenth level casually.

It's the same even in the country of ghosts.,Because it's not been a long time to join.,I don't have too much money on my body.,If you want to make your own.,Lack of funds at the moment.,You can only get permission through above.。

But the research department also has its own tasks, and it is impossible to serve Deidara alone.

Therefore, Kazuhime's personal sponsorship is a great thing for Deidara, who is keen on art.

There was no need for him to refuse. O

Deidara flew over the town on a clay bird, and it was already the evening of the second day.

Judging from the size of the town, it is not large, and the population is medium

It's decent, but it's better than tranquility, and compared to the surrounding towns, it's a more prosperous one.

Unfortunately, since this town is also divided into a war zone, soon, the people here will accept the orders of the state and move to the safe zone.

Therefore, this prosperous and peaceful town in the past will soon be empty.

"Is that there? Let's go down. Hmm."

Aiming at the destination to be reached, Deidara drove the clay bird under his feet to dive downward, and when he flew to a certain height, he immediately jumped off the bird's back, landed calmly, and landed just in front of a shop.

The boss was closing the stall by himself, preparing to move things into the house.

Perhaps hearing the sound of approaching footsteps behind him, the shopkeeper made a somewhat unsympathetic voice:

"The stall has closed today, if you have any dolls you want, please come back tomorrow."

"It's really indifferent, Brother Scorpion, but I didn't expect that after you left Xiao, you would actually set up a doll shop here. Hmm."

The shopkeeper, an indifferent young man with red hair, heard this familiar voice, his body paused slightly, and he subconsciously turned around and looked at the visitor.
