Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Secret of Natural Energy, Recruiting Qimu!
Jianhao Waterfall!
Although the entire Iron Country is a world covered with ice and snow, this Jianhao Waterfall has never frozen, and the cold and gasping water has smashed down from the cliff, as if nature is swinging a hammer against the earth!
Below Jianhao Waterfall, a lean middle-aged man sat cross-legged on a rock, letting the impact of the huge waterfall and the icy water crash on his body.
Those who can cultivate in such a harsh environment, in the entire Iron Country, there is only Jianhao Mifune!
Ever since he began to absorb the energy of nature, his body seemed to be slowly transcending the scope of human beings!
"Has the natural energy in the air shrunk again?"
I don't know how much time has passed, but Mifune slowly opened his eyes under the rocks of the waterfall. His gaze is not like Tian Jinglong's eyes suddenly opened in the void, his eyes are just like the most ordinary ordinary people open their eyes.
But the ordinary, sometimes it also means back to basics!
"I'm not the only one in the ninja world who is absorbing natural energy......
"A little south, there's a group of people absorbing natural energy, and those people are a little weird, but that's not the point."
"Natural energy is a kind of energy naturally generated by heaven and earth, according to common sense, the ninja world is generating natural energy all the time, if no one absorbs it, the natural energy of the entire ninja world should be extremely abundant!"
"But I can feel that the natural energy of the ninja world is not as abundant as I imagined!"
"Those people in the south who absorb natural energy don't absorb as much natural energy as me, so it can't be their handiwork."
"Outside of the south, where does the most natural energy absorb the most, the east?"
"It's also going to cross the entire Sand Country further east, and there's something strange over there that is swallowing the natural energy of the ninja world every moment!"
"In addition to these two places, the remaining natural energy is also constantly leaking!"
Mifune stood up from the rocks of the waterfall, he first looked in the direction of the south, and then turned his head to look at the east of the ninja world.
Ever since Mifune began to transform his chakra into natural energy, Mifune has clearly felt that the ninja world is really not as simple as it seems!
It was an innate instinct for the people in the south to absorb natural energy, and Mifune probably guessed where those people came from.
But the thing that absorbs natural energy in the east, Mifune doesn't even dare to feel it carefully! That kind of mysterious thing that swallows natural energy, the natural energy that is swallowed every day is simply thousands of times more than that of Mifune!
If it is said that the entire ninja world is born with a hundred standard units of natural energy every day, the group of people in the south absorbs about one percent of the standard unit of natural energy, and Mifune himself absorbs about three percent of the standard unit of natural energy.
That unknown thing in the East has nearly thirty standard units of natural energy per day!
The remaining natural energy, which has nearly sixty standard units, disappeared directly in the ninja world. The rest of the natural energy will be accumulated in the ninja world, but on the last day of each month, half of it will be extracted!
Mifune also tried to find out where the vanished natural energy had gone, but he couldn't find any trace after dozens of days.
"Natural energy is not exclusive to me, the daimyo can know this name, I'm afraid there have been people in the history of the ninja world who can absorb natural energy!"
"However, this act of leaving a small amount of natural energy every day is as if someone is deliberately controlling the natural energy of the ninja world?"
Mifune got dressed and walked to the shore, and in his perception he was constantly approaching in the direction where he was.
"The Daimyo told me that there are people in the sky who are monitoring the ninja world, and there are people in the underground who are peeping into the ninja world."
"Even outside the world, there are beings who are spying on the ninja world......"
Mifune walked to his house and warmed up his tea at the stone table in front of it. As he cultivated more and more natural energy, Mifune had unconsciously possessed many incredible powers.
Originally, he was just an attributeless chakra, not to mention that there was no perception aspect, but it was also almost nothing.
But since absorbing the natural energy, he could feel the slightly larger energy changes in the entire Iron Country.
The natural energy that gave him not only the power of perception, but also the transformation of Mifune's body that he didn't understand!
"Is the disappearing natural energy taken away by some being who is secretly observing the ninja world?"
Mifune sat cross-legged on the stone bench, his brow furrowed slightly. He was thinking about a very serious question, since he could feel that there were people in the ninja world absorbing natural energy, did it mean that those who absorbed natural energy could also feel his existence in reverse?
"Mr. Mifune!"
That is, when Mifune was thinking about whether he would be perceived in reverse, Hachiki Sakushige had already walked to Mifune's house. This was the first time that Hachiki Sakushige came to the place where Mifune practiced, and it was completely different from what he had imagined. Just looking at the environment here, Mifune seems to be like an ascetic?
"Sit down."
Mifune's train of thought was interrupted, and he nodded at Hachiki Sakushige, motioning for the other party to sit down.
Genjin Ji had given him the task of inspecting Hachiki Shiroshige, and if he felt that Hagi Sao Shigeru might fall to the Iron Country, he would tell Hagi Sao Shigeru about Gen Kazuki's idea.
If Mifune thinks this is unlikely, then it depends on Mifune's mood whether to tell Hachiki Sakushige.
"Do you know what I'm looking for you today?"
Mifune poured a cup of hot tea for Hachiki Shuomao, and Hachiki Sakumo took the hot tea handed over by Mifune, and nodded at Mifune unexpectedly?
"The Hagi family was originally a family that came out of the Iron Country, and I know if Mr. Mifune says this."
"About sixty years ago, the head of the Hagi family of that generation was due to the conservative nature of the samurai and the powerlessness of facing ninjas. Chose to study ninjutsu, and completed the fusion of the original ninjutsu and swordsmanship in that generation, which is the origin of the original ninjutsu! ”
"It's just that after the development of the Hagi family's ninja sword technique, it caused a backlash and dissatisfaction among a large number of samurai in the Iron Country at the beginning. They believed that the head of the family of that generation was deviant, and the situation of the entire Qimu family in the Iron Country was extremely bad. ”
"In that case, the Hagi family moved out of the Iron Country and survived as a mercenary family in the Warring States period."
"Then came the end of the Warring States period and the establishment of the ninja village system, and the head of the Hagi family at that time chose to join Konoha after talking to Lord Tsuruma. From my father to my inheritance of the Hagi family, it has been three generations since the Hagi family joined the Fire Country. ”
As the head of the Qimu family, Qimu Shuomao still has some understanding of these family histories. The sword skills of the Qimu family are ancestral, and it would be strange if they had nothing to do with the Iron Country in the past few decades.
Even if the Qimu family joined Konoha, the Qimu family did not give up the sword technique. Even in the generation of Hagi Shuomao, Hagi sword technique has been thoroughly famous in the ninja world.
"So, how did you feel about staying in the Iron Country for the past three months?"
Mifune raised his head and looked at Hachiki Shuo Shigeru, then lowered his head again and continued to fiddle with his tea ceremony. He didn't seem surprised that Sakumo knew the origin of the Qimu family?
"If the ancestor who pioneered the ninja sword technique was born in this era, the Qimu family should be different, right?"
"Maybe even become the staunchest supporter of His Excellency the Daimyo!"
After thinking for half a breath, Hachiki Shuomao finally said what was in his heart. He spent three months in the capital of the Iron Country, and as well as the professional habits of ninjas, it was naturally impossible not to collect intelligence.
He knew that all the changes in the Land of Iron originated from that mysterious daimyo.
It's just that until now, he didn't even know what this name looked like, what it was called, or even how old it was.
"What if, on the condition of dividing an entire town as the fiefdom of the Qimu family, let the Qimu family return to the land of iron?"
Mifune picked up the teacup in his hand and saluted the flag in front of him. His voice was so flat, but the tea spilled from the teacup in Hagi Shuomao's hand showed the unrest in Hagi Shuomao's heart.
"I ......"
Hachiki Shuo Shigeru was silent for most of the day, and finally eliminated Mifune's words, and he was just about to say something when Mifune's voice sounded again.
"I have a practice codex tailored for the Hagi family's ninja sword technique, and the Hagi family has returned, and the descendants will permanently exist in the town fiefdom. At the same time, I can guarantee that at least one sword hero will be born in each generation of the Qimu family. ”
"The most important thing is that the members of the Qimu family will not become meaningless consumables!"
