Chapter 44: The Plague of Bones

On the other side, Rokuzawa and the others were behind Terumi and his party, and after three days of trekking, they finally landed on the main island in the center of the water country.

Although it has the name of an island, it is actually very large, about one-fifth the size of the Land of Fire, about the size of a miniature continent, and it is also the largest island in the entire Land of Water.

As a result, the central main island is also the most prosperous and wealthy island in the entire water country, where more than half of the population of the entire water country is concentrated.

At this time, as the fog ninja troops on the three fronts withdrew one after another, they all gathered towards the central island, and Rokuzawa and the others encountered more and more fog ninja along the way.

Among them, he also encountered his fellow people who had withdrawn from another front.

After some exchanges, they also chose to integrate into Rokuzawa's team.

Of course, they didn't make it clear that they were willing to obey Rokuzawa like Taketori Shinsuke, but Rokuzawa understood that they wanted to observe themselves and see if they were worthy of support as Shinsuke and the others said.

However, Rokuzawa believes that they will be convinced by themselves and truly support themselves.

It is worth mentioning that with the addition of these kindred people, Rokuze's team has also increased from less than 70 people to about 210 people.

It seems that his group of people was lucky, and the fighting on their front was not so fierce, so the losses were not as great as on their side.

However, what really shocked Rokusawa was Terumi.

Because of her identity as the fifth-generation Mizukage, coupled with the fact that the reform is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it has brought Kigakuin into a new era, and the younger generation highly respects her.

From the day they set off together, whenever they met the retreating young Kiri Shinobi on the road, most of them chose to join Terumi's team.

Seeing this, the team of about 500 people quickly swelled to more than 1,500 people by the time they landed on the central island.

Although these followers are all young, even a large part of them are still at the lower ninja level.

But as time passes, they will become stronger and stronger, slowly turning into middle ninjas, into upper ninjas, and becoming the backbone of the Fog Hidden Village.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, Zhaomei Ming has become the future spokesperson of the entire Wuyin Village, and the future of the entire Wuyin Village is in her hands.

Seeing such a large team, Taketori Shinsuke whispered, "Lord Rokuzawa, originally I was skeptical of your statement about Terumi Ming, but now it seems that you are not wrong at all, my lord. ”

"With her prestige, it is more than enough to ascend to the position of Mizukage."

"But it's a pity that she and the three generations of old fools are destined to be different people, and it will be difficult for her to ascend to the position of Mizukage again!" The other, Shinobu Taketori, shook his head.

"Isn't that right?"

Rokuzawa smiled and glanced back at many of his fellow clansmen, and said, "It's because she's not the same as those old guys that it's easier to accept us!" ”

"The strength of our clan will bring her strong support!"

Hearing this, many of the same people in the back nodded one after another. Even those who came later and were still observing Liuze also had a hint of admiration.

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

……

At this moment, they were full of confidence in Rokuzawa's plan.

The group then left the harbor and continued to move deeper into the central island.

The village is located deep in the mountains of the main island in the center, and is shrouded in dense fog all year round.

Although the Taketori clan was expelled from the fog, they were not too far away, but a small village was built next to the fog.

Therefore, Rokuzawa and Terumi have no problem going on the same road.

On the way, Rokuzawa tentatively asked Taketori Shinsuke and the other shinobi, "What if...... If I run for the position of patriarch of the Taketori clan, will you support it? ”

"This ......"

Suddenly hearing his words, the many upper ninjas behind him were suddenly speechless, and they didn't know how to answer.

After a long time, Taketori Shinsuke, who was still the most familiar with Rokuzawa, whispered: "My lord, if you want to compete for the position of elder, we will definitely support it fully, but the position of patriarch ......"

"I think you'd better give up!"

"It's not that we don't want to support, but the rules of the clan don't allow it, my lord, you better give up!"

Hearing this, Rokuzawa couldn't help frowning.

Of course, he knew the rules of the clan, and the 'Corpse Bone Vein' awakened person was not allowed to serve as the patriarch.

It was just a temptation on his part.

However, he is also very clear about the intention of his ancestors to set this iron rule.

This is due to the defects of the 'Corpse Bone Vein' blood inheritance limit itself, not the discrimination and suppression of the awakened people of the 'Corpse Bone Vein' by the ancestors.

This is because the 'Corpse Bone Vein' is powerful, but it is accompanied by extremely serious blood inheritance boundary diseases.

This also caused it to be difficult for all the Taketori people to live for another fifteen years after awakening the 'Corpse Bone Vein'.

If the 'Corpse Bone Vein' is overused, causing the Blood Inheritance Limit Disease to worsen, the Awakened Beings of the Blood Inheritance Limit will die faster.

For example, the later orphans of the Taketori family, Taketori Jun Mario.

In order to help Orochimaru bring back Sasuke, he did everything to urge the 'corpse bone vein', and finally died directly on the battlefield at the age of about fifteen.

Because of this, in order to prevent the untimely death of the patriarch and the frequent replacement, the ancestors established an iron rule that those who awakened the 'corpse bone vein' were not allowed to take over the position of the patriarch.

Now, Liuze has also awakened the 'corpse bone vein', and if he recuperates well, he can only live to be twenty-seven years old at most.

With such a short life, it is naturally not suitable to take over the position of patriarch.

"Ahh

After a long sigh, he asked everyone again, "It's been so many years, hasn't the clan studied how to solve the flaws in our Blood Inheritance Limit?" ”

Because this body only has memories of the clan until the age of twelve, and its experience is extremely limited, it really doesn't know much about these important secrets.

"Of course I'm researching!"

Taketori nodded vigorously and replied seriously, "From ancient times to the present, we have been studying how to solve the flaws in our bloodstain limit. ”

"But we are only good at fighting, not human and medical research, and the progress of this matter is naturally very slow and limited, and we have not solved this problem so far."

"Then if I solve the problem of the defects of the 'Corpse Bone Vein', you should no longer oppose me taking over as the patriarch, right?" Rokuzawa asked with a smile.

Hearing this, not only Taketori Shinsuke, but even other people of the same clan who were relatively close couldn't help but cast a stunned gaze.

"Could it be that you, my lord, have already found a solution to this problem in your previous life?" An older member of the clan asked eagerly.

"No, no!"

Seeing that they were so excited, Rokuzawa hurriedly waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "In the previous life, my Taketori clan perished early, and later generations couldn't find suitable materials even if they wanted to study it. ”

"Where can there be a way to solve the defects of this 'corpse vein'!"
