Chapter 24 Graduation Preparation
Yichen, who has no face, no longer goes to the ninja school except for the necessary ninja practice.
There is still one last year before graduation, and the novice protection period is coming to an end, and Yichen is full of worries about the world outside the novice village. The outside world is wonderful, but it's also too dangerous.
There is no shortage of wandering ninjas in the ninja world, some of these wandering ninjas are traitors from various countries, and some do not belong to various countries in the first place, they are ninjas who learned to extract chakras from informal channels.
Wandering ninjas have no fixed stronghold, wandering around and taking on quests for underground bounties to make ends meet. Under normal circumstances, the major powers would not encircle these wandering ninjas too much, because the effort and return are disproportionate. Not to mention that there are some powerful existences among the wandering ninjas, and the major ninja villages also have scruples, that is, ordinary wandering ninjas, if they are forced to be in a hurry, they can also make the village suffer heavy losses if they pick the ninja village to sneak attack.
Moreover, the existence of wandering ninjas can also help the ninja village solve things that are inconvenient to come forward in some aspects, such as some highly dangerous tasks, and the cost of training ninjas in the ninja village is too great to afford frequent sacrifices. Then the quest will be posted in the underground bounty, and as long as the price is right, there will always be wandering ninjas who are not afraid of death to pick it up. The difference in the task price of the underground bounty is lower than that of the ninja village, and it is still more popular, but the quality of the ninja is not guaranteed, so most people still believe in the ninja village with a positive image when they release the task.
In his memory, Onoki hired the Akatsuki organization in the later stage, and the mission released was still a war mission. Therefore, the life of the wandering ninja underground bounty hunter is actually a balance reached with the major ninja villages.
Of course, most wandering ninjas are also afraid of the ninja village, and in the era when the pillars and Madara do not appear in the world, and Nagato has not yet come out to wave, the individual still seems very powerless in the face of the ninja village. The ninja village will be afraid of the large number of wandering ninjas in the entire ninja world, but it will not be afraid of one particular wandering ninja. If you take the initiative to provoke the ninja village, the intelligence analysis department of the ninja village will analyze the details of this wandering ninja very thoroughly, and then carry out targeted encirclement and suppression.
In the face of this kind of offensive, the average wandering ninja is unable to parry. So usually, wandering ninjas don't want to provoke Ninja Village.
But there is one exception, and that is treason. Renegade ninjas have a high proportion of wandering ninjas and are also outstanding, but they are the sworn enemies of the ninjas in the ninja village. Because these ninjas have some kind of resentment towards the village when they defect, they tend to take revenge on the village. And these people carry a lot of information, so the village will also send someone to be responsible for cleaning it up.
So for the new shinobi who just came out of the ninja village, the most dangerous thing in this ninja world is not the mission goal. It's a rebellion that doesn't know when it will appear.
Although Yichen has not graduated, he has worked for several years, and he has long known the cruelty of the ninja world from the mouths of his colleagues. It can be said that apart from war, the number of ninjas who died at the hands of their own country's traitors is the largest.
Although the memory of the Iwa Ninja Village does not have as many rebels as Konoha except for Deidara, it does not mean that there are no rebels. It's just that it's not specifically described.
Ninja can be seen as a high-risk profession that lacks a kind of inquisition like in fantasy novels. Under the influence of the general environment, most ninjas are able to strengthen their will and are willing to sacrifice for the village. However, there are also a small number of ninjas who choose between the village and themselves, choosing their own safety.
This type of ninja is not recognized by the mainstream and may choose to retreat when performing dangerous missions. It's not impossible for a ninja to back down, but if he retreats just because he's afraid of being sacrificed, then his ninja career is over, and in most cases, he'll be executed by the village, and in the less serious case, he'll go to prison.
Many ninjas who choose to retreat at critical moments are unwilling to accept the punishment of the village, and often choose to defect.
Yichen didn't expect to grow to a high level in the next year, he just hoped that he would be able to protect himself in the face of the attack of the traitorous ninja.
Originally, Yichen wanted to learn a lot of things, medical ninjutsu, perception ninjutsu, defensive ninjutsu, offensive ninjutsu, ninjutsu, illusion......
However, the talent of this body is really too poor.
With his extraordinary spiritual power, Yichen has greatly narrowed the gap with geniuses. Don't look at the face of Ikura, he is completely in a state of being crushed. But for the rest of the class, for the other classes of the same grade, Yichen is already a great genius. What's more, his biggest advantage now is not the battle, but the level of the sealing technique.
In horizontal comparison, Yichen has completely dissected a number of B-level sealing techniques, and led the development of an A-level sealing technique. At this time, although Icang was proficient in using C-level ninjutsu, he had not fully learned B-level ninjutsu, let alone A-level.
Therefore, although Yichen's combat effectiveness is far inferior to Yicang, in the eyes of the high-level, Yichen's importance is not lower than that of Yicang. This is also the reason why Onoki has opened the door to Yichen many times.
When he couldn't take care of various abilities, Yichen had to make a choice. This choice was actually made when Yichen realized that his chakra was insufficient.
Medical ninjutsu was the first to be abandoned by Yichen, and he didn't have any extra chakras to treat himself or his peers. Ninjutsu was the second one to be shelved, because Yichen found that his physical skills were too far behind the rest of the class very early, and even if he learned ninjutsu, he would only shorten the distance between him and other geniuses, and he would not be able to give full play to his strengths.
As for illusion, in fact, Yichen really wants to learn it, and Yichen has read all the illusion theory books in the ninja school. But Iwa Ninja Village is not known for illusions, and in this era, the Uchiha, a monster family, is still active in the ninja world. Ninjutsu is not the mainstream in various countries, and everyone pays attention to the cracking of illusions. Therefore, there are too few illusions in Iwa Ninja Village, and the intensity is not high. In addition, Yichen Chakra is not enough, and there is no extra spirit to learn illusions.
One of the most important reasons why Yichen chose the sealing technique was that in the early stage, the sealing technique was a good auxiliary, and in the later stage, the sealing technique could also bring great help to his combat effectiveness.
Now Yichen is using the sealing technique to increase his combat power. This combat power is mainly in two aspects, one is to seal ninjutsu with scrolls, and the other is to seal weapons on the body with runes.
The matter of sealing ninjutsu with scrolls, the ninja world itself exists, and Shikamaru has used it in memory, but the conditions are too harsh. The chakra that uses the scroll, the chakra that makes the scroll, and the chakra that is sealed in ninjutsu must have the same origin, otherwise the ninjutsu will get out of control.
In other words, ninjas must make their own scrolls, perform their own ninjutsu, seal themselves, and use them themselves. That's enough, but the most uncomfortable thing is that the use of this scroll also requires sealing, and it is not instantaneous. Although the chakra required to break the seal is much smaller than the chakra required to release the ninjutsu, the more advanced the sealed ninjutsu, the more advanced the strength of the seal, and the more chakra is required to unlock the seal.
The most important thing is that the chakra scroll making of this sealing ninjutsu is very troublesome and has a low success rate.
So under the premise of so many restrictions, there are very few ninjas who can make and are willing to make ninjutsu scrolls.
Yichen had this aspect in mind when he chose the sealing technique, and his hard power was not good, so he could only make tricks like Shikamaru.
Yichen's sealing technique is already one of the top people in the Iwa Ninja Village, making a C-level ninjutsu sealing scroll, in fact, it is not a big problem, as a member of the enchantment class, although he also has to spend money to buy materials to make a scroll for himself, but the material cost is much lower than the price outside.
With his excellent chakra control, Yichen has failed a few times when he first learned to make this kind of scroll, and he has never failed to make scrolls since then.
Because of several high-level tasks, Yichen is very abundant in silver these days, so he is very generous, and he spent 1 million taels to buy 100 materials at once. Then it took another whole month to make all the materials into a scroll. It's not that it's slow, it's that Chakra limits him to only three or four scrolls a day, after all, Yichen still has work to do.
This is still because the control ability of Yichen Chakra is far beyond ordinary people, so the amount of Chakra consumed to make C-level scrolls is much lower than 1C, otherwise you can only make two scrolls a day.
After a month, Yichen would try to seal the ninjutsu into the scroll every day. But the success rate of this process is outrageously low.
The hundred scrolls were finally consumed after Yichen persisted for two months, and only five were successful, three of which were Earth Flow Walls and two were Waterline Techniques.
It's not that Yichen wants to seal so many earth flow walls, but because Yichen has a good grasp of the earth flow wall, the success rate is much higher. After a dozen attempts, I succeeded in 3 of them. And the waterline technique has been tried dozens of times, and only 2 have succeeded. In addition, Yichen also tried the three-body technique and found that this kind of ninjutsu could not be sealed. Perhaps only the ninjutsu that exists can be sealed.
However, it is not a waste of time, at least the proficiency of the waterline technique has been significantly improved. If nothing else, the success rate is now very high. The stamping speed has also been significantly improved, reaching 2.2 stamps per second. It's just that the number of seals has not decreased, which also shows that Yichen has not fully mastered this ninja.
Since Yichen has been very peaceful during this time, nothing major has happened, and his work is very free, so he has lost the opportunity to get rich overnight, and the contribution value has increased very slowly.
Fortunately, taking into account Yichen's ability at the enchantment, he took the initiative to give him a higher treatment. Yichen just arrived at the enchantment class, and when he worked in the data room, he could only get 50,000 silver taels per month, and then he turned positive because of the fog ninja thing, and he just left the data room to transfer to a new job, and he had three additional rewards for C-level tasks every month, that is, 150,000 silver taels per month, 30 points of contribution. In addition, if you successfully craft a storage scroll, you can get an additional 10 contributions.
During the war, because the village needed a large number of storage scrolls, Yichen earned a lot of money, and this kind of one-time consumables that consumed a small chakra to make saved a lot of contribution points for Yichen, laying the foundation for him to exchange for B-level sealing techniques later.
But after the war, this extra income was cut off. Fortunately, the enchantment class has now improved Yichen's treatment, and Yichen's current treatment is better than that of the Lighting Club, in addition to 200,000 taels per month, and the salary is also settled according to two B-level tasks. It is equivalent to a monthly income of 600,000 silver taels and 200 contribution points.
With the growth of Yichen's body, this contribution value is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not enough at all, so I was thinking about saving money to exchange it for perceptual ninjutsu, but the reality is that now Yichen's contribution value is less than when I exchanged it for the waterline technique.
As for the silver taels, they can save a lot every month, plus the remuneration of S-level services, Yichen is not short at all now. Now Yichen regrets that he exchanged forbearance at the exchange office. In peacetime, there were many merchants in the village who would sell cutting tools, and they were all settled according to silver taels. Why did you spend your valuable contribution at that time?
