Chapter 69: Giving and Receiving from Each Other
The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of the hard-fought "fighters", and they soon burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, repelling the monsters that had invaded the ship and driving them back to the sea.
Seeing this, Gu Shanbushui also commanded his subordinates and gave the order to launch incendiary bombs from afar.
In less than a minute, the "Red Tide Forest", which is barely visible from the outboard, turns into a blazing flare, and the salty smell of the sea water and the stench of algae microorganisms being burnt, mixed with all kinds of strange gases, is really terrible.
Gu Shanbushui's super sense of smell is dozens of times more uncomfortable than being in a thatched pit in such an environment.
Resisting the disgusting smell of burning, Furusugi took back the owner of the sea and gave the order to the "god of the river", who had not yet been burned to the core, to leave the field with dignity, and then climbed the rope ladder hanging from the sky and sailed away in a floating boat.
The "big villain" in the back burst out with the last of his strength, and after letting go of the cruel words, a big explosion was produced, which once again injured some people who were too close and slowly disappeared.
In the special airship cabin, some professionals are trying to behave in front of the young superintendent, showing the pictures just taken from all angles for reference.
Gu Shanbushui, who was a little tired, held his chin and looked at it for a long time before nodding slightly:
"The material is sufficient, and it takes some work to make up a self-consistent story and make the photos and videos more persuasive. Fiddling with these machines, you did a good job, but the 'script' and propaganda were not very impactful, and they did not catch the attention of the target group. β
"The young master's opinion, we understand, it's just that the dance and writing make ink and manipulate people's hearts, it's really not what we are good at."
"Contact Momiji, hand in the synopsis of the 'story', and let my 'proofreading consultant' polish it. It's been a long time since the last collection of essays went on sale, and they have to find something to do. β
Gu Shanbushui has not forgotten that there is still a pen name of the great writer of "Xiwu" under his name, and it would be a pity not to make good use of it.
After instructing the people around him to retreat for the time being, Gu Shanbushui lazily leaned on the rattan chair by the window, looking at the clouds and mist outside.
"It's so sad to work on these 'soft powers' all the time. If you had the hard power to subdue all opposing forces, you wouldn't have to go around in circles so much."
The fire on the sea surface burned almost with the flammables, and after it gradually went out, the rescue team, under the leadership of Yasukawa Zaiyuan, began to count the survivors and put them on the "death list".
As for those who were injured by mistake, there are still a few, but no innocent people have died, and there are very few who have been left with irreparable disabilities.
After receiving the news, Gu Shanbushui felt a little uncomfortable, and he was also a little more comfortable.
"Your mood is a little disordered, and you will be soft when you have many murderers in your hands?"
is always concerned, there is this is not good, but whenever there is a wind and grass, there is always a curious "goddess of Mao" to ask this and that.
"It's not that I'm soft-hearted, but I'm a little hesitant about the standards of good and evil and the value orientation."
Gu Shanbushui, who had expected it, replied,
"I don't think I'll ever be able to face this kind of thing. There is no ethics or morality in being able to take the lives of their own kind with peace of mind, and not to create senseless killings for the sake of survival. Heretics who do evil unconsciously are the real demons. β
"But although you feel guilty, you look very light......"
"I'm not a pedantic old stubborn, although I don't have the true character of a hero, I can't be ruthless and vicious, and I can't kill decisively, but I won't put myself in danger because I care about the lives of strangers. Just ......"
Sighing slightly, Gu Shanbushui hesitated,
"There is a bit of uncertainty about the criteria and how to deal with the 'necessary sacrifice'. I've said that before, right? High up, we who guide the ninja world to the direction, swaying a grain of sand and falling on the people at the bottom, it is also a heavy burden. Think carefully about what to damn and what is the 'price' on the road to success, and how to weigh it. β
To put it bluntly, the experience of the previous life is still deeply affecting the values of Gu Shanbushui, and it is impossible to simply materialize "human life" into resources and chips that can be consumed at any time like the indigenous nobles of the ninja world.
The distribution of benefits derived from the basic rights of "people" is the root cause of the imbalance in this world. Words such as "demographic dividend", "human resources" and "labor market" have been inextricably linked to exploitation and exploitation since their inception.
Since the primitive era of Ru Mao's blood drinking, this group has changed countless identities, and the labels have become more and more glamorous, but they have not changed their essence.
"Even if I really want to send some people to Huangquan Road, I hope to retain their dignity, live in the world, be busy, and not be silent and worthless. It's not that I'm really overflowing with empathy, but it's an excuse to give myself an excuse not to accumulate too many negative emotions the next time I kill another batch of people. β
When Otsuki Kazuya heard this, he couldn't help but pout.
"I want everything, I'm too greedy."
Typical "both...... Again...... It is also necessary to ......" style, but this "archway" is not erected for others to watch, but for Gu Shanbushui to see for himself, reminding himself not to really forget his original intention.
A genius like Orochimaru, maybe the "skill points" are mainly in the field of research and ninjutsu, how to do all the bad things, and the means to get a good reputation are really bad.
Whether it's disdainful or really lame, in terms of how to exchange a large number of human lives for benefits, and unknowingly use living people for experiments, what Gu Shanbu Shui can do is much stronger than the legendary "Three Ninjas".
The disappearance of a few ninjas in Konoha Village caused an uproar, and in the end, even the three generations of Hokage, Sarutobi Hiza, personally dispatched to expel Orochimaru.
There are too many choices that Gu Shanbu Shui can choose, and half of the ninja world can do whatever he wants.
"Me...... Born as the heir of the Gushan family, once he becomes evil, he can't control the means and kills people, which is much more efficient than any ninjutsu. β
The most ferocious is the invisible murder weapon that kills people without seeing blood, inheriting the experience of the previous life, and there are countless "tossed" wisdom hidden in the heart. What happened today in the outer sea of the vortex is just a small test.
"can be a good person, who wants to be the mastermind behind the scenes for no reason? Isn't this Konoha Village looking down on me......"
After the two chatted for a while, according to the agreement, the big barrel wood Kaguya developed how to use the sea master, a naturally raised, almost immortal spirit, and taught some skills to Gu Shanbu Shui.
"It is quite inefficient to plunder the blood limit from the material level; With the almost omnipotent magical power of chakra, the so-called fusion, transplantation and even hybridization have natural limitations. Have you ever seen a human-pillar-tailed beast? Why did a living person become a humanoid monster that inherited almost all of the characteristics of the Tailed Beast? β
"Human Pillar...... Force? β
"That's right! To put it bluntly, it is the result of the interaction between the chakra and the container in which it is contained. The Tailed Beast will affect the body of the Human Pillar Force, distorting his temperament, and in turn, the Human Pillar Force is actually subtly changing the Tailed Beast. The human pillar strength qualification, chakra amount and physical strength are just thresholds, and what really determines the level is actually temperament and the degree of fit of chakra......"
Some people's pillar strength is very unstable, and the relationship with the tailed beast is also very poor, and there is a great risk of losing control; Some people's pillar forces are very affinity, and they can even achieve the perfect human-pillar force state of integration and symbiosis.
"The Otsuki clan and the Divine Tree have coexisted and evolved for countless years before they become what they are now. The run-in between the ninja and the nine-tailed beast is only the third generation, and only a few months ago, in a young little guy's body, he felt a slightly more similar coexistence mode......
"Naruto Uzumaki?"
Gu Shanbu Shui wasted no time in asking, and the big barrel wood Kaguya was a little stunned, but he didn't mean to ask, but continued to explain:
"Perhaps, it has something to do with the indelible reincarnation chakra in his body!"
"Do you know about the reincarnated chakra? In that case, why not try to be reincarnated? β
"It's not safe. Every animistic world is not only a big dye vat, but also a big grinding plate, and reincarnation and transformation are not the same, just like the deep integration of the soul level. If those mermaids are stitching monsters on the physical level, Chakra reincarnation has similar side effects, and it is even more difficult to remove the influence of obsession. At that time, I was no longer me......"
Gu Shanbu Shui nodded as if he didn't understand.
In the future, the forbidden arts, immortal reincarnation, and defiled earth reincarnation, which will be inherited and carried forward by Orochimaru and Yakushidou, seem to have embodied this theory.
In the ninja world, where reproductive isolation is not obvious, as long as the chakra can be fused, all kinds of miracles can be created.
For example, the superficial product of "Amphibious Ninja" is a trial work that Orochimaru is not very mature in his early days, only staying at the grafting and fusion of the body level, and when he begins to study the deeper chakra and soul mysteries, it is not surprising that this "toy"-like inefficient technology has been abandoned.
"What about the white eyes? The Hyuga family is also your direct descendant, can you take this bloodline limit from it? β
"It's hard, there's a clash of blood!"
Speaking of this topic, the goddess of Mao proudly responded,
"It's the same eyes, white eyes and the eyes of the ninja world, there is an essential difference. In terms of evolution, you can treat the various bloodline traits derived from the Otsuki clan and the Divine Tree as another form of 'tailed beast' with different abilities, and it requires specific qualifications to withstand its 'lodge'. β
"Hmmm......"
The ancient cedar water that has been silent for a while can be reasoned with, just like the high-IQ brain evolved by humans, the energy consumption is very exaggerated, and the eating speed and energy supply of most wild animals cannot support it.
The white eyes are only one aspect of the manifestation of the ability of the Otsuki clan, which is supported by the body that has evolved over countless years, and the body of the human in the ninja world is still too primitive.
This and the white eyes of the sect that were accidentally obtained by the Misty Ninja Qing Seal, and the Writing Wheel Eye transplanted by Kakashi Hagi are only one of the reasons for barely maintaining it.
To put it bluntly, it's still the bloodline supremacy.
Whether the princes and generals of the ninja world have a "species" still needs to be verified one by one, and the vast majority of the blood inheritance limit really has a "species".
Even the natives with ninja qualifications are in the minority, and it seems unrealistic to expect the powerful blood inheritance limit to be widely spread.
However, nothing is absolute.
Orochimaru focuses on the study of spell marks, and the strategy of cultivating elites in a way with high elimination and high mortality rate can also be regarded as a path.
However, what Gu Shanbu Shui wants is not this, but the type that is closer to the essence and benefits more people, it is best to improve the qualifications, lower the threshold for practicing ninjutsu, and standard and practical simple ninjutsu.
The large-scale cultivation plan of psychic beasts that I have always wanted to implement is also of this kind.
"The key is the threshold, as long as you get started, you have the possibility of self-cultivation and improvement!"
This is what Gu Shanbu Shui needs very much, Konoha Village Ninja School, it takes seven or eight years to train a qualified ninja, and it is not the norm to graduate in large quantities early during the Great Ninja War.
The population under the rule of the Furusugi family is far larger than that of Konoha Village, and as long as a small percentage of the population is converted into fighters who can perform ninjutsu, it is a strong combat power.
The simplest and most direct way to give ninjas qualifications, in addition to signing psychic beasts and sharing talents, is to master the blood inheritance limit.
"I'm tempted to say that everything you've done is useless, but ......"
The goddess of Mao did not hide her secrets, and replied very calmly,
"Isn't it good that you have the owner of the sea in your hands, as well as the secret art and water possession technique that helps the merfolk maintain their human form? If you want to give something to someone, you first have to master it yourself and understand it. β
"You mean, the way in which the indigenous gods and the natural spirits bestow divine magic, channeling, sΓ©ance, dependence, and the like?"
This method, the big barrel wood Kaguya seems to have mentioned it before, but the ancient cedar Bushui is not allowed to enter, and now he has caught the owner of the sea fang, and even "cameo" a god of the river, and initially has the stable support of the mermaid group.
Every time those fish-men who aspire to go ashore as humans split through the sea master in their bodies and borrow external forces to maintain their human form, they are sacrificing the chakra in their bodies.
Although their strength is not good, the days go by, the water flows for a long time, and the accumulation is also considerable.
Since this step has been proved to be feasible, why not extend it and give them more "divine skills", organize them, build temples and shrines, and hold up the sign of "indigenous gods"?
"The evil god, the god of death, they are all references!"
Whether it is the forbidden spell or the ghoul sealed, or the spell and the death division by blood, Gu Shanbu Shui does not have such a ability, and the owner of the sea square only has a superficial wisdom, and the talent secret art is also equal to nothing, except for water control, there is no special ability.
"Pretending to be a god and a ghost not only requires the ability to deceive people's hearts, but also has the power to truly make the believers get what they want, you can't do it yourself, how can you expect to create power out of thin air?"
So said the goddess of Mao.
Creating, supporting, utilizing, and promoting each other is really not something that can be done overnight.
