As the incumbent Hokage, there are still many differences between the things that Sarutobi Hiza thinks about and ordinary Konoha ninjas, not only to balance the forces of all parties in the village, but also to fight for the interests of the entire team externally.

Among them, the relationship with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is the most important, even more than the competition with other Great Ninja Villages.

As Konoha Village matures, its desire for resources from the outside world becomes more and more diversified, and it is no longer completely limited by the support of the secular government.

When Konoha Village was first established, I am afraid that the ancestors would not have imagined that Konoha ninjas would take on a lot of tasks such as farming, pulling weeds, cleaning rivers, taking care of children, and searching for lost kittens.

From the point of view of cost performance, it is precisely these low-level tasks that support half of the sky in Konoha Village, although the remuneration for a single task is small, the commission of the middle and lower ninja is also low, and the accumulation of small amounts is also quite a considerable income.

In contrast, high-level missions are not only unstable, but also require a large number of powerful shinobi to take risks, and once they fail, or even the ninja who performs the mission dies, the losses are quite large.

Gradually, the Konoha ninja also discovered that commissions other than combat missions are more cost-effective, not only are there no danger to their lives, but they can also have the effect of training talents.

For example, this reconstruction of Konoha Village, if a large number of engineers and laborers are hired to do it, it will take a lot of time and resources, and let some ninjas with special skills do it, which is fast, consumes less energy, and can also save a lot of expenses.

It's no wonder that the small number of ninjas in Konoha Village are not necessarily at the top in terms of overall strength, and they are good at doing side jobs. The Nara clan's medicinal herb business is getting bigger and bigger; The insect envoys of the oil girl family have developed a large number of luxury industries with their own specialties; The ninja dogs of the Inuzuka family are already well-known brands, and the great Fusugi clan of the Land of Fire has come to seek cooperation; The Yamanaka family, who are proficient in spiritual mysteries, is still relatively honest, guarding the flower shop and living honestly, and most of the clansmen are on errands in the Konoha Hospital and the torture part.

The most exaggerated Kurama family, said to be in decline, has become a wealthy businessman with a very amazing influence in the secular world, buying land and property in various parts of the Fire Country, and the foundation is gradually becoming stronger, and recently it has been involved with a wealthy prince like Gu Shanbu Shui.

In short, in the past few decades, the official contact between Konoha Village and the Daimyo of the Fire Country has gradually become estranged, and people-to-people contacts have become more and more frequent. As a result, the changes brought about were good and bad, and although it could make Konoha Village more independent, it also aroused the jealousy of the officials led by the daimyo.

Serve whose bowl, eat whose meal, and smash whose pot. You can't let Konoha Village take all the benefits, and finally get rid of the daimyo and become one, and the oil and salt won't enter, right?

It was based on this consideration that Sarutobi finally agreed to the cooperation conditions that were obviously somewhat unfavorable to the Konoha ninja.

"In less important areas, suffer a small loss, which is also to earn back the capital with interest in the future."

Hokage Sandaime, who comforted himself with the so-called long-term vision, sighed helplessly, and smoked his pipe until there was another knock on the door.

"Come in."

The words fell, and Asma, the ape, who had been a lot haggard recently, walked in.

"Three generations, are you looking for me?"

Seeing his son like this, the third generation asked with a little dissatisfaction:

"What have you done, like you're not giving up?"

The patrol task is heavy, and the ape flying sun slash is known, but the arrangement of Konoha Village is not unkind, and there must always be time to rest and recuperate, and the available combat power will not be used to death.

"Seeing the misfortune in the village, some people can't sleep."

Asma, who responded in a sneering manner, said, It's not good to confess that it's because the sunset is red and you don't think about tea and dinner, and you can't sleep at night.

"Forget it, don't mention this, I have an important task for you."

The old man handed over a task book in his hand,

"The country of the vortex, which has been destroyed for many years, is being rebuilt under the auspices of the Furusugi clan, and you go to visit as an envoy from Konoha Village, and by the way, assess the threat level of the cloud ninja and the fog ninja. The failure to rescue this important ally in time made many old people and the allies who followed Konoha Village very dissatisfied. This is a good opportunity to reinvent the image of the Konoha ninja. ”

"Oh?"

Ape Fei Asma, who hastily flipped through the mission book, understood.

When the country of the vortex was destroyed by the enemy, the ape flying Asma had not yet been born, and in those years, the remnants of the country of the vortex were scattered in all directions, and the remnants of the country of the vortex were also the inheritor who was sent out at the last moment.

Later, suspected of being from the Uzumaki clan, there were also some people who asked for protection from the Konoha ninjas, and the Konoha Village, which was caught in the ninja war and couldn't extricate itself, didn't take much care of it, most of these true and false "poor relatives" were taken in by the coastal workhouse of the Gushan family, and others don't know, but Ape Fei Ri must know a little.

Xiang Li, who is currently studying at the ninja school, has an unclear identity, and some people only know that she is the illegitimate daughter of Gu Shanbushui, and not many people care about her mother's identity.

Ape Fei Ri Slash, who knows some secrets of the past, is not blind, and he may not have realized it at first, but when Xiang Lian shows an unusual talent, and then looks at the conspicuous red hair, he will naturally suspect that the bloodline he inherited may be very unusual.

Of course, it's just suspicion, no one verifies it, and it doesn't even break it.

What qualifications does the current Konoha Village have to claim dominance over the remnants of the Vortex? What's more, they are still the real descendants of the great nobles, and if they want to snatch such talents, they also need to pay a price.

"Descending to the ground? What kind of person is this, with so little intelligence? ”

As an important person in the reconstruction of the country of the vortex, it is too rare to have no important information, except for a name, almost nothing.

"It may be a talent secretly cultivated by the Gushan family, and there are three very mysterious masters by his side, who are even more powerful than ordinary ninja."

"This Gushan clan is too powerful."

Asma grabbed her somewhat messy hair with a headache and complained,

"The other big nobles, one or two of the top ninja henchmen, are all enshrined as treasures, how can they bring out so many masters at every turn. The four people in the guardian ninja are already very powerful, and later they promoted the horse, and now it is said that there is a master of steel fist, which is even more powerful than last year's rock protection. ”

Now that there is a sudden appearance of a descendant and three ninja followers, even the talented Konoha Village is also a little frightened.

Ape Fei Ri replied with a stumbling face:

"Except for the five ninja villages, they are the strongest forces on the surface, they didn't show it before, they really want to start the war machine, I have privately combined with a few elders, and it may be stronger than the green and yellow fog ninja. The top masters may not be as good as the top masters, but when it comes to really fighting, the toughness is far more solid than that of Wuyin Village. ”

"Will it ...... Too overrated? ”

"Hopefully, but ...... No one wanted to try their quality, at least after the mist shinobi came into contact with them, they really confessed. ”

Strictly speaking, Wuyin Village is definitely not afraid, but it is a conflict that is not beneficial, and it can be avoided.

The Misty Ninja, who is rooted in the Land of Water, and the Prince Deputy of the Land of Fire fight, and it is no good to win, and it is even more embarrassing to lose. It's really stupid to be a big money owner who is likely to patronize, and it is too stupid to make enemies easily.

Konoha Village's opinion is the same, no matter whether the Gusui family is strong or not, it is impossible to be an enemy, since this is the case, friendship is the best choice.

"When are you leaving?"

"This weekend, when the village is back in order, you can do something else."

"Good!"

Although Asma, the ape who promised the promise, was unwilling to leave at this time, as a ninja, he had to obey orders, especially the son of Ren Hokage, and he had to lead by example.

……

Just when Konoha Village was constantly adjusting its foreign policy for this great change and maintaining stable future development, Furusugibusui received news of Ku'an on Siqi Island.

That night, it was difficult to escape from Konoha Village, and it was even more troublesome to get rid of the overt or covert pursuit of all parties, even if a large group of mermaids were arranged to respond to the rich water system network in the Fire Country, it was still almost exposed, and even almost involved the not-so-powerful "Miscellaneous Families" organization.

Fortunately, in the end, I survived the difficult situation without danger.

The relieved ancient cedar water, accompanied by Momiji and the child who will be born next year, suddenly received a special gift from a secret channel.

When he saw the severed arm and scarlet eyes in the petri dish in the laboratory, Furusugi knew that it was the benefit that Uchiha Fugaku had given him before he died.

It is not only to repay the favor of satisfying his little wish at the last time, but also to let the ancient Sugi Bushui have the strength to pull the surviving Uchiha people.

Human affection is a thing that is the bond between you and me, and finally the relationship becomes deeper and deeper.

It's a pity that the Uchiha family is gone, at least in Konoha Village, there is only one orphan left in Uchiha Sasuke, who can't afford the title of "family" at all.

Turning his attention to the eyes, the severed arm that transplanted the first generation of cells, its body is probably the body of the experimental body that Orochimaru found that can fuse all the cells, in addition to the first generation of cells, it is also inlaid with three three-hooked jade writing wheel eyes.

"With that, can you help me make some decent goodies?"

The big barrel of wood Kaguya, who hadn't come forward for a long time, appeared in front of him, and with the help of Gu Shanbushui's perception, he understood the basic situation of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye and the broken arm.

"Shoddy patchwork. Moreover, the children's skill of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye has already been used, and the child's power is scarce. ”

"Wait, you mean?"

Gu Shanbu Shui was startled, and immediately reacted,

"The strongest illusion spell, Betianjin, has actually been used by Shimura Tunzo on someone?"

In an instant, the possible goals came to mind one by one.

With such a precious opportunity, Gu Shanbu Shui believes that the "Darkness of the Ninja World" will not be wasted on him, at least it must be a figure at the level of Ape Fei Ri Chop, a daimyo and a "Three Ninjas".

It's possible for Uchiha Fugaku, but judging from the later development, it wasn't him, and Uchiha Itachi didn't need to be controlled in this way, this young man who valued feelings was easier to handle.

"Orochimaru...... Is that him? ”

"I haven't met the young man, but if he has the value you say, it's worth wasting an opportunity. Don't say now, even a thousand years ago, I would have looked sideways at this kind of talent. ”

A certain goddess calmly responded,

"A wise man with the ability to pioneer is the most valuable asset no matter where he is."

Gu Shanbushui also agrees with this, but ...... That's another god, so he controlled Orochimaru?

"That's right, Shimura Danzo doesn't really have many chips in his hands, how to convince Orochimaru, who has become a traitor, to continue to serve him? If you use a knife on yourself, change your eyes and arms, and make a slight mistake, you may be calculated. Without using the strongest illusion spell Bestenjin control, how could Shimura Danzo agree to send himself to Orochimaru's operating table? ”

So, is that all the truth?

The strength of the other gods, under normal circumstances, is impossible to crack, even if it is as strong as Orochimaru, it is impossible to get rid of Shimura Danzo's control so easily.

But......

"There are loopholes, and other gods are not foolproof, for example, forbidden arts, no corpse reincarnation......"

The forbidden art developed for the purpose of immortality and immortality, the physical plane takes other people's bodies as containers, and the spiritual plane pursues soul devouring and merger, development and growth, or assimilation and mutation.

Every time he casts the forbidden technique, he will stain the remnants of the vessel's soul, and his self-consciousness may have dissipated, but his obsession will still deeply affect Orochimaru.

In other words, every time he changed his body, his soul core was a new individual with Orochimaru as the main body, supplemented by other sacrifices, and even the power of the strongest illusion and other gods gradually faded in the process of reincarnation.

"So, sooner or later, Orochimaru will completely get rid of the influence of other gods, and Shimura Danzo, who knows that his most powerful assistant has completely lost control, will spare no effort to hunt him down. No wonder......"

More than ten years later, in order to hunt down the defected Uchiha Sasuke, the "Darkness of the Ninja World" did not hesitate to use the newly formed seventh class as bait, even if it put the Nine-Tails Pillar Force in danger, because at that time, Orochimaru had completely gone to the opposite side.

So the current Orochimaru, is it a puppet under the control of Shimura Danzo's illusion?

"It's hard to say, that disgusting guy doesn't have to be very good at fighting, his ability to save his life is first-class, once he finds a chance, other gods can't restrain him."

Gu Shanbu Shui had imagined several possible ways to fight against other gods, and Orochimaru was an expert in this way, so there was no reason why he would be caught.

Putting aside these unverifiable things for the time being, Gu Shanbu Shui asked Kaguya of Otsuki Tree:

"How to replenish the consumed child power? If I only use it once every few years, then it won't be useful for me to start......"

"I can't supplement it directly, but I can use the way of strengthening the power of Yang and adjusting the balance of Yin and Yang to passively alleviate the deficit of Tong Li. In front of you, using an arm with a special fusion ability to buffer the cells containing strong yang and balance the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye is also a good method, although the efficiency is too low. ”

"It seems that you still have to be promoted to the eternal kaleidoscope writing wheel eye to avoid defects......"

"There is no such thing as 'eternity' in the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, and the six immortals do not have the childlike power to transplant their brothers, so they directly achieve the reincarnation eye. In essence, the bloodline is not pure enough, and the reserve child power is not enough to make the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye evolve to a complete state, so it is necessary to transplant the child power of close relatives and complete it with rough means. ”

"In other words, in the theoretical state, every pair of kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes, as long as they are trained to a high depth and are not blind, can they be promoted to reincarnation eyes?"

"So it's just a theory, there is no yang to buffer the loss of children's power, there is no long enough life to make the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye grow and complete, all ideas are false."

With the power of Yin and Yang in hand, you have to live long enough to synthesize Yin and Yang by tapping your own potential, and promote the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye to the Reincarnation Eye.

"Forget it, I don't count on it."

Gu Shanbushui said disappointedly.

Practice the regular water retreat to an extremely high depth first, and then think about the rest. What's more, these dangerous powers, Gu Shanbu Shui did not plan to use them directly, he had to let others use them, see the side effects, and then use indirect methods to use them for his own use.

Today's ancient sugi is not an ordinary ninja who is poor and white, and he doesn't need to risk his life for the amount that he may not be able to use.

With the Writing Wheel Eye, Red Eye, Ice Escape, and Illusion Blood Inheritance Limit in his hands, he can try to fuse and cultivate a group of more practical combat talents.

When he was enjoying a bright future, the severed arm that was in the petri dish suddenly grew a green branch, which startled Gu Shanbushui and quickly strengthened the strength of the seal.

"This thing is very powerful, but it is also very dangerous!"
