Chapter 494: Only One Left
Not to mention just encountering Madara Uchiha's filthy earth, even if Madara Uchiha himself is resurrected, even if it is a more powerful opponent, Jiraiya and Konoha Ninja will not raise their hands and surrender.
Whether you can win or not, you don't know until you actually fight.
You can't win alone, just stand shoulder to shoulder, there is always a way to deal with it.
"Put these things aside for the time being, Zi Laiye, tell me, what's going on on over there in Miaomu Mountain? If it's not safe there, do you want to continue to cooperate and let Naruto learn some immortal mode?"
"You must still learn to learn, otherwise, it will be difficult to give full play to the advantages of the huge amount of chakra in his body. It would be great if a way could be found to deprive the Nine-Tails of the right to use the chakra. I heard that the Perfect Human Pillar Force cultivation plan on Yun Nin's side has made great progress, if it is united, ask if you can borrow their channels and methods. If you encounter a strong enemy in the future, the Nine-Tails Pillar Force ...... Naruto, it must be the most reliable combat power."
"I'll try my best, but I can't expect too much, that guy from Thunder Shadow is not easy to deal with, if it weren't for my kindness to him in the early years, I guess he wouldn't have given me face."
"It's better to have a heart than to have no clue."
Ziraiya nodded knowingly,
"How's the situation in the southern part of the Wind Country during my absence?"
"It's still the same, Iyo Province has been de facto established, and although no big forces have recognized it, they haven't openly opposed it, so it's a tacit acquiescence."
"Because I can't interfere."
This has been expected for a long time.
At present, the situation is already good.
"What is the attitude of the village?"
"I'm happy to see it happen, but I don't push it myself. After all, with the help of the Gushan family, the development trend of the Land of Wind is too amazing. If we can split it in two, it will also reduce our pressure."
"I think that's probably the case. Although it is out of public interest, I think there is a bit of a problem, and among them, the reason for the development is not at all, and there is no problem at all. Sand Shinobi was unwilling to live on the border, so he launched the 'Konoha Collapse Plan, and after the sneak attack failed, he couldn't afford to repay the early loan, so he had to mortgage a lot of things to settle the account. The economic contradictions in the development process led to the enrichment of the wandering ninja group, taking advantage of the opportunity of the inability of the sand ninja to control the situation, with the intention of listing the territory and establishing himself as the king, it just so happened that our Konoha Village fell into decline, and the sand ninja was even more too busy to take care of himself, and he couldn't even choose the five generations of the wind shadow, and he kept civil strife. As a result, it is what it is now......
"It's more than that."
Tsunade said leisurely,
"Earlier, the Gushan family took advantage of the capture of the Red Sand Scorpion and the trading of many puppets with the Sand Ninja, and borrowed money like crazy, and it didn't seem to be worried that they would not be able to pay it back. That's right, if you take the risk and win, you will pay the debt with the spoils, and if you lose, you will lie down and let others slaughter, in short, you will not lose."
The game between ninja villages, you come and go, it's normal to lose and win, but there is a force that is free from the outside, has been winning, and continues to grow, and eventually becomes a behemoth that no one can provoke.
Tsunade didn't dare to imagine how many big killing weapons there would be in the heavy artillery and inconspicuous military base in Shinjuku Town, and what damage could be done to Konoha Village.
When the armed forces of Shinjuku Town were first built, it was said that it was to defend the palace and help Konoha Village defend against foreign enemies, so Konoha Village didn't say much.
Who knows, how powerful a salvo of heavy artillery is?
If it really takes a round, I'm afraid it will be comparable to being ploughed head-on by the nine-tailed tailed beast jade.
Now that the wood is in the boat, it is too late to protest.
The entire Konoha Village is actually within the range of other people's artillery fire, can you believe it?
Maybe one day one fire, the entire Konoha Village will be bombarded into the sky.
Of course, it is nominally the most solid ally of Konoha Village, and the muzzle of the cannon will not be inside, whether it is true or not, there is no way to prove it anyway.
"I've actually investigated this matter carefully, and Young Governor Gushan really hasn't used any extraordinary skills
Duan to induce or deceive, just act step by step, and then the situation continues to develop towards the current situation. Whether it's a conspiracy or a coincidence, it's really not a conspiracy."
It's like if you push a tumbler, it will definitely shake in the opposite direction, and it's logical, and there is no trace of unnaturalness.
It's as if the whole world is helping the Furusugi family grow and become the "uncrowned king" of the ninja world.
"I'm just complaining, why does the ninja world favor Gushan so much, it's clear that our Konoha Village is the chosen place."
"Ugh."
The chosen place where a thousand hands retreat and the Uchiha disappear?
It seems that even a great ninja like Hyuga has begun to look at Gu Shanmei.
This is not the marginal ninja Kurama, the second-line ninja Inuzuka, the oil girl, Nara, etc., but the real millennium giants.
On the first day of return, the two of them didn't talk much, and Tsunade asked Jiraiya to go back to rest first, and then come back in a few days to discuss important matters.
Sending off his former comrades, Tsunade focused on the current personnel arrangements in the village.
Especially Xiang Phosphorus and her friends.
Among the peers, there are not many people who have been promoted to the upper ninja, and there are currently three people, such as Shiro, Hinata Ningji and Xiang Phosphorus, and the others are still middle ninjas, only Naruto Uzumaki has a lower ninja.
"It's already forbearance, and it's enough to brush up on qualifications, haven't you chosen to retire and go home to learn how to inherit the family business?"
The fifteen-year-old girl is no longer young, and if she wants to be able to take on the responsibility of the heir of the Gusugi family, she must start the elite education of the nobility now.
Not everyone is like Gu Shanbushui, who can sweep away the ills within the clan and make the power of the entire family to a higher level.
Xiang Phosphorus's ninja talent seems to be a little better than that of Gu Shanbu Shui in the same period, but in terms of mental maturity, it is still far inferior.
At this age, Gu Shanbushui is almost about to get his first daughter, and his daughter Xiang Phosphorus can't even get a good boy.
"Bai, what an excellent child, why is it a person from the young governor of Gushan? It's a shame."
Relying on the Ice Escape Blood Inheritance Limit, during the period of lower ninja, he was able to exert a strength comparable to that of upper ninja, and now he has become a leader among his colleagues. Hinata Ningji, who is slightly younger than him, is also very good, but in terms of comprehensive ability, it is still a little worse.
As for the equally outstanding Xiang Phosphorus, as well as the three sisters Hiiragi, Xiao Jing and Xiao Si, who are so strong in the ninja school that they have no friends, they are even more geniuses that Konoha Village does not covet.
In terms of the reserve of top talents in the future, Konoha Village does not seem to have too strong an advantage.
At the level of ordinary combat power, the Gushan family, which sits on most of the ninja world, may be able to pull out an army of more than 300,000 medium ninja combat power. This is more than twice the war potential of the five ninja villages combined.
If you can't maintain an advantage in top combat power, or even average combat power, Ninja Village will actually be controlled by others.
What really made Tsunade feel so passive was the Psychic Beast Species Cultivation Center and the Scientific Ninja Research Institute, which had not been paid much attention to before.
With psychic beasts, especially standard psychic beasts, large-scale equipment has become possible, raising the lower limit of secular force, and the large-scale installation of scientific ninja equipment has raised its upper limit and increased more possibilities, making the advantage of the ninja army invisible, but reflecting the disadvantage of numbers.
The fundamental plate that stands firm is shaken, or surpassed, and that is the most worrying thing.
However, the order of one village and one country limits the influence of the ninja village.
In the past, Tsunade felt that this agreement was beneficial to the small number of ninjas, which allowed ninjas to play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses, indirectly influencing the attitude of the daimyo and improving their own status.
Now it seems like a prison cage painted with the ground as a prison.
Not compared to individual bravery, but compared to comprehensive strength, how can a village or town be compared to a big country?
If it goes on like this, if it doesn't wait for the Gushan family to make a move, Konoha Village itself will doubt itself.
At this time, Tsunade misses the time when Shimura Danzo was ambitious, and pinned his hopes on his master
The secret research can really come up with a few big killer weapons, and slightly erase the huge gap between the two.
"Danzang, has your ambition really been lost?"
As for showing a little bit of strength appropriately and subduing the "lost ground" left by the Gushan family's prostrate retreat, it's just an attitude.
After struggling for nearly three years, Konoha Village, which is extremely resilient, finally alleviated the situation of imminent financial collapse, and began to seek more with a little more savings, but Tsunade is no longer as radical as the Three Generations of Eyes Ape Flying Sun Slash, and unites several major ninja clans in the village to force the Gusugi family to make profits, but continues to try, step by step, and gradually grasp the initiative.
The Gusugi family was really the same as the previous time, and they had no intention of clashing head-on with the Konoha ninja, and after realizing the other party's determination, they began to slowly retreat.
Of course, Tsunade didn't really want to drive the Furusugi family out, that was extremely unrealistic, with the current situation of Konoha Village, without the continued investment of the Furusugi family, he might immediately fall into an extremely difficult situation.
Accustomed to subsidies, it is almost impossible to stop them for a while.
But one can be two can't be repeated, if you really do too many ruthless things, next time you still expect others to save the scene, how is it possible?
-----------------
At the same time, the news of Naruto Uzumaki's return to the village has spread among his friends. Nara Shikamaru and Inuzuka Ya, who had not been seen for a long time, were also full of emotion when they were opposite Naruto Uzumaki.
Especially the latter, looking at the ninja vest of Yishui, he couldn't help but ask curiously:
"You ...... Are they all forbearance?"
"yes, including Sakura. Ning Ci and Xiang Phosphorus are already Shangren, and there are seniors Bai who are two years earlier. We're lagging behind, especially you, Naruto, who missed last year's middle ninja exam, and you're just a lower ninja."
"Am I the only one who is shinobi? Isn't that ......?"
"That's right, crane tail."
Akido Dingji was eating snacks while saying words without mercy, which made Naruto Uzumaki suddenly scream in disbelief.
Since the shadow clone technique that he learned in advance, his strength has improved greatly, and he hasn't been described like this for a while, and he thought that this "nickname" had no reason to be related to him, but he didn't expect to hear it again today.
I'm the only one who still shinobi.,It's even more embarrassing than when it was called "crane tail".
"No, I'm going to find Tsunade's mother-in-law, I can't be left alone, I'm going to be a shinobi too."
"You? Shinobi?"
It seems that Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura, who missed time, are late,
"Don't talk nonsense, do you know what tests you have to go through to become a shinobi?"
"I don't know, but I'm still strong."
Sakura in person, Naruto also wanted to go up and set the set, but only he was the only one who was shinobi, and this matter was more important,
"Now, even if it's the chief student, can you compete?"
"Chief student?"
Nara Shikamaru sighed,
"You probably don't know how strong Kaopho and Sasuke are. By the way, Sasuke has defected now, you know?"
"Hmm. I don't know how strong it is, but it's said that it's hard to get into a fight with Kakashi-sensei."
"It's good that you know, this is the strength of the chief student, this is the level of the upper ninja, do you think, can you do it yourself?"
"That...... How do you know if you don't try?"
"You just have a hard mouth."
Nara Shikamaru waved his hand and said lazily,
"In this year's Zhongnin exam, it is likely that I will be the chief examiner once, don't expect me to release water for you, if you can find a partner to take the Zhongnin exam with you."
"The Shinobi exam?"
As soon as he thought of this, Naruto Uzumaki's heart couldn't help but be clouded,
"The seventh class is falling apart, where can I find a partner to take the middle ninja exam?"
"That's your business, I'm just giving you an idea."
This matter is an internal affair of the seventh class, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere much, even if it is a classmate and friend, it is not good to say much.
At this moment, there was a dark part wearing an animal mask to convey Tsunade's order for Naruto Uzumaki to go to the Hokage House to meet her.
A few minutes later, saying goodbye to his long-lost friend, Naruto Uzumaki saw Tsunade, who had barely changed his appearance, and as soon as they met, he shouted for a promotion task or something.
Tsunade, who was so noisy, yelled impatiently:
"Shut up, if you don't want to be a lifelong endurance, just listen to me. After listening to Jiraiya's evaluation of your cultivation period, I have arranged a series of cultivation plans for you, of course, this also needs to be implemented by your leading teacher, Kakashi Hagi, and the specific implementation may not be free all the time, there will be others to do it for you, so you can wait patiently."
After speaking, Tsunade turned his head to the figure that suddenly appeared and said,
"Kakashi, hurry up and take him away, don't let me see him this month, it's too annoying."
"Yes."
"Also, be careful...... There may be players who will be temporarily assigned to the seventh class, so you have to treat them carefully."
"We don't need temporary members, we'll definitely get Sasuke back."
Hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki immediately complained unhappily,
"Give me a little time, Sakura and I, and Kakashi-sensei, we'll definitely be able to do it."
"However, the team is not even, and we can't take on the task of the team, so there must be someone. This matter is decided, you can have an opinion on the candidate, but you must obey. Don't forget the rules in the Ninja Code."
Naruto Uzumaki had to say more, and was pulled by Kakashi Hachiki and left the ninja house.
"Well, it's all unhappy, isn't there no good news?"
