Chapter Forty-Three: Striking the West
The ninja profession is too dangerous.
Chakra is not something like internal force true qi or magic fighting qi, and natural energy is not heaven and earth aura.
With the degree of evolution of human beings themselves, no matter how hard they practice and how powerful they are, they will not be able to reach the level where Vajra is not bad and immortal.
Judging from the information obtained from the Otsuki Kaguya, Chakra is a kind of interference from the outside world after the overflow of life energy, and natural energy is the aggregate product of the overall "vitality" of an ecosystem.
From the beginning of life, it continues to obtain the nutrients it needs from the outside world, until it becomes a part of it after death. The Otsuki clan and the sacred tree have evolved to the point where they do not rely on photosynthesis and edible organic compounds to maintain the growth of life, and natural energy and chakra are a more "nutritious" and efficient "food".
Ordinary ninjas have just found a superficial way to use this strange "energy" to make themselves stronger, and it is too far from the strength of the Ten-Tails Pillar who is almost immortal.
After being crippled by the "cluster bomb" launched by the Gushan Bushui side, the fog ninjas who did not have an immortal body would definitely not be able to be reborn with a broken limb, and it was already a great luck to be able to save their lives.
As for Hayashi Yuri and Haruyu, they suppressed their thoughts and came to negotiate with Gusugi Busui, not completely intimidated by the prestige of the Uchiha Shisui.
In the past two days, the Konoha ninjas, led by "Instant Water Stop", have scouted the vicinity, and they have also fought with the Mist Ninja during this period.
After several temptations, the mist shinobi also understood that he had missed the best opportunity to attack, and there was no way to retaliate against the Gusugi family's fleet in the short term.
"It's good to be alive, and if you're dead, there's nothing left. Spare your life, there is hope for the future......"
In the next ten years, the development of ninjutsu will enter the fast lane, not to mention the mutilated limbs, even if the whole body is burned to charcoal, as long as there is still a breath, there is hope for recovery.
Unfortunately, the "cluster bomb" was so cruel that the severed limbs were strangled by the explosive projectiles, and became small pieces that were not formed, and were devoured by fish and shrimp, and all hopes of connecting back were dashed.
Hayashi Yuri grinned and looked in the direction of the ancient Shanbu Shui.
"Your Gushan family is really good at talking, no wonder you have done so many things to deceive and deceive, and you can still leave a good reputation for impatience and righteousness, benevolence and kindness. If it weren't for Chunyu's seniors saying that they would salute first and then soldier, and give you a face, you wouldn't even have a chance to fight back......"
"Then I want to thank your men for their mercy?"
The young family governor shrugged his shoulders disapprenosingly, and the threat of hiding the knife in his smile did not take it to heart, in the final analysis, it still depends on the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, and then weigh the pros and cons.
"The previous grievances, let it pass, now, how should we deal with the aftermath?"
Chunyu glanced at the Konoha ninja who was silent and acted as a dutiful bodyguard, cleared his throat and said:
"At this time, don't go around in circles, and be honest and honest, we Misty Ninja hope that you will hand over the rebellious ninja of the Misty Village, and then compensate the disabled Misty Ninja's pension......"
"That's all?"
"Huh?"
Gu Shanbushui's unexpected reaction made Chunyu, who had prepared a lot of rhetoric, stunned.
"What's the problem?"
"What is a problem that can be solved with money? Let's be realistic, what are your conditions? ”
In the "small place" of the Land of Water, the fog ninja who is used to living a poor and sour life really doesn't understand what kind of arrogant and lascivious life the top nobles of the rich Fire Country live.
"It's a bit of a lot!"
The young family governor waved his hand and nonchalantly interrupted Chunyu's explanation.
"The specific amount of money will naturally be discussed, so we don't want to waste time on these 'little things'. Since you don't have any special ideas, it's my turn......"
After a pause, Gu Shanbu asked with full confidence,
"It doesn't matter how much money or what's outside of the body, the question is, what do we compensate, or rather, what do I get after I pay for it? Don't make excuses for me with any vague friendships or anything like that......"
The Furusugi clan, which is based in the land of fire, only needs the friendship of Konoha Village to be enough, and the other ninja villages are all in a relationship of mutual use.
Some unkind words made Lin Yuyuyu, who was already in a bad temper, look even more hideous, and his hands unconsciously put on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Do you want to keep fighting? I'm not afraid, just because I have other things to do, and I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble. In the final analysis, this conflict is because you didn't take our Gushan family seriously, and you didn't say hello, so you wanted to force your move. Of course, if you use the Fog Concealment Technique to provoke as a greeting gift, your own artillery fire is also a welcome firework, I hope you can understand......"
As for the accidental injury caused, the ability is not good, and no one else can be blamed.
The words fell, and the scene was suddenly extremely embarrassing.
After being silent for a long time, Chunyu signaled Lin Yuli to calm down for a while, and then tried to ease the atmosphere and said:
"Then we're welcome......"
"So you were all joking before......"
Gu Shanbu Shui, who was smiling lightly, quietly opened his perception to the maximum, and the salty smell of the sea breeze came to his nose around him.
Just like the actual sense of smell, the pheromone changes of everyone present are all clearly understood.
Ignoring Gu Shanbushui's taunts, Chunyu continued to say patiently:
"Our real target is Loquat Shizang, the bearer of the beheading broadsword; In addition to us, there is also the Black Hoe Thunder Fang, the holder of the Thunder Knife Fang. But right now, we can't confirm if Black Hoe Thundertooth is still on our side......"
"So, the target is two of the Seven Ninja Blades?"
Lin Yuri lost no time in laughing wildly:
"I hope that idiot from Black Hoe Thundertooth has really defected, and in that case, I will have a chance to kill him and snatch the Thunder Knife. Divine weapons are really tyrannical in the hands of such waste. ”
Indeed, the Black Hoe Thunder Tooth is simply a shame for the Seven Ninja Blades, and one day in the "future", it will be defeated and killed by several Konoha Shinobi.
The core of the first ninja sword seven people is the watermelon mountain puffer ghost, and the strength is really strong, if it weren't for the unexpected sneak attack of the dry persimmon ghost shark, it really doesn't have a good hand.
The top card of the second ninja sword seven people is that Momochi is no longer killed, Hayashi Yuri and Ghost Lantern Full Moon died young, and there are too few opportunities to perform.
It's just that......
"What does it have to do with me? It is determined that the loquat Shizang who defected, the black hoe and thunder tooth who may defect, such a big pit, I don't want to wade into this muddy water......"
"We give up the compensation, and promise not to pursue the aftermath, in exchange for your intelligence support in the country of bears and fire, after all, this is not the territory of the fog ninja, and some things are not easy to handle......"
"It's really a good idea to exchange the benefits that don't know if they belong to you for real benefits. However, you guys have taken a fancy to the combat power of 'Instant Water Stop', right? ”
The smiling Gu Shanbu Shui ruthlessly exposed the other party's true thoughts,
"Let's start with it, the task of the Konoha ninja is to protect the personnel, not including assisting a third party in hunting down the traitorous ninja. If you want to hire a Konoha ninja, it has nothing to do with the Kosugi family. It just so happens that everyone is there and can negotiate on their own, and I don't participate in ......"
Maintaining his usual smile and listening quietly, the Uchiha Shisui opened his mouth and refused:
"If you want to hire us to complete an additional mission, please go to Konoha Village to issue a mission and have the third generation issue a mission order......"
Gu Shanbu, who had expected it for a long time, spread his hands exaggeratedly,
"Look, that's the result. It's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's that there's nothing I can do. ”
If you want to "prostitute for nothing" a wave of combat power, how can it be so easy?
"If you don't agree to any conditions, then I'm afraid you won't be good......"
According to Lin Yuyu's temperament, he is more inclined to talk about the collapse, and then fight happily.
If it weren't for the Uchiha Shisui who was watching over him, I am afraid that he would have been unable to hold back the killing heart that rose like a flame.
"Actually, I also want to take a good look at how strong my own combat power is, if you don't mind, you can ask for support again, and fight again."
Seeing that the conversation was about to collapse, Chunyu grabbed Lin Yuyu, who was about to draw his knife, and asked politely:
"I don't know what the young governor wants? As long as it's not too outrageous, you can talk about it......"
"Can you call the shots?"
"It's okay to do this kind of triviality!"
Chunyu said with a slightly humble tone and full of aura, proving that this middle-aged ninja with a not very famous reputation is indeed not ordinary in Wuyin Village.
"That's fine!"
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Shanbushui responded,
"Money, I won't give a penny, it's not a question of who is right and who is wrong, it's impossible for the Gushan clan to grovel and use money to buy peace after being wronged. We have money, but to whom it is given, is a very serious issue, and it involves dignity. However, considering that you have a disability, we can make up for it in other ways, but the chips need to be increased by ......"
"How?"
Chunyu asked with a frown.
If more variables are added, I'm afraid that Loquat Shizang will not be able to chase it back, and Black Hoe Thunder Tooth should not be ready to defect, but Chunyu and Lin Yuli are not performing well, I am afraid it will breed his ambitions.
"The country of bears is not the sphere of influence of the Misty Ninja, you are not allowed to make some big moves here......"
"This is impossible, and now a large number of defectors come to the Land of Bears, a deserted country that is conducive to evasion, almost every month......
The young family governor waved his hand, interrupting Chunyu's argument.
"You and I have a number in our hearts, they are just in the name of the fog ninja, in fact, they are not the ninjas directly under the fog hidden village at all, most of them are old and weak women and children, and occasionally there are a few lucky people who have awakened the ability of the bloodline, and they are also weak because they do not have a solid foundation. The so-called pursuit and killing of traitors is just a means of deterrence. If they really have to defend it strictly, they can't cross the vast sea to the land of bears. ”
In the final analysis, the goal of Chunyu and Lin Yuyu Yuli has always been loquat Shizang and black hoe thunder teeth, strangling other defectors, just hugging the grass and beating rabbits, and doing it easily.
Maybe the guy who infiltrated the Gushan family's fleet knew a little bit of information about the Black Hoe Thunder Tooth and the Loquat Ten Treasures, but that didn't mean much.
"And what are you going to do?"
Gu Shanbushui replied with a smile:
"I have a way to drive Loquat Shizang and Black Hoe Thunder Tooth out of the country of bears, if nothing else, they are likely to cross the sea and flee to the country of Sichuan, as for whether they can intercept it, it depends on your ability."
Hanzaki got entangled with so many rabble, and it was too slow to rely on cannibalism to catch them all.
If the loquat Shizang and the black hoe thunder tooth are said to be the culprits who snatched the "extraterrestrial meteorite", it would be much easier to operate.
It's too difficult to build a ninja village out of thin air, and it just so happens that Loquat Shizo and Black Hoe Thunder Fang are strong and famous, and after defecting, they want to set up their own doors and snatch the foundation of the village, the Extraterrestrial Meteor, which corresponds to the previous "rumors".
Under normal circumstances, the rabble of the Bear Country would not dare to provoke a strong enemy of the level of the Ninja Seven, but the current situation is obviously not ordinary.
There is great strength in numbers, and wine is strong and courageous.
If there are any more incitements and instigations, it is impossible to say that a vigorous and large-scale pursuit will begin.
Loquat Shizang and Black Hoe Thunder Tooth are very powerful, but they are not so strong that they are enemies of a country.
What's more, there are some people who are up and down and fishing in troubled waters.
After listening to Gu Shanbushui's plan, Chunyu thought about it for a while, and roughly understood the other party's plan.
"Are you, trying to master the country?"
"No, no, no, how come?"
Gu Shanbu Shui hurriedly denied,
"It's just that I'm worried about this small country with many disasters, after all, more than two hundred years ago, this was also the territory of Izumo no Kuni, and it's normal to care about the former citizens......"
"The daimyo of the Bear Country, do you know the plans of the Furusugi family?"
"Didn't you say it earlier? I'm not going to steal the power of the Bear Country, it's just that this country is too chaotic and I want to fix it......"
Gu Sugi Bushui really didn't think about the Daimyo of the Bear Country.
However, it is not necessary to use direct annexation to control a country.
The international order of the previous life has fully proved that in a fully competitive world, only a very small number of countries will retain their complete sovereignty, and the vast majority of the rest will be colonies in the name of independent states.
In other words, exploitation is more insidious and more difficult to defend against, both for individuals and for nations.
"Also, I have a personal request. This outing, in fact, is to travel to the land of the sea to relax, but here encountered a little accident, delayed for a long time, I hope the next trip, no more unpleasant things! ”
"The Land of the Sea?"
That kind of ghost place, in the previous ninja wars, is a marginal blind spot, neither a strategic location, nor far away from the main transportation routes, the operation of the country has to rely on ocean-going gold ships to maintain, except for a few travelers, no one will pay attention to the kind of unattended care.
"Yes! If it weren't for the Sea Country's initiative to hire, the Kirist would not have bothered to go to that kind of remote place. ”
