Chapter 320: The New Generation Wants to Prove Itself
As the eldest son of the three generations of Tukage, Loess has a lot of personal strength and forces attached to the surrounding area.
This is also a matter of course, no matter how "simple" Iwakure is, there will always be some ninjas who are active or "want to improve" and take the initiative to come closer.
It's just that unlike the three generations of Hokage's sons, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was able to serve as the captain of the Dark Force at a young age, his father, His Excellency Tsuchikage Onoki, who is supported by Iwakure Manshinobu, has not been very satisfied with him.
"When the hell is your granite head going to get the hang of it!"
The above are the words that Onoki scolded his son the most.
Though they are submissive, though they are afraid; But people will always have a rebellious mentality, even if they have been counted down by their father since they were children.
In addition, Iwakuin lost his troops in the rebellion war against Sand Hidden in the Land of Wind, but he lost his troops but gained nothing, and turned too quickly in the strategic change of uniting his mortal enemy Yunyin to fight against Konoha and the diehards in the village could not adapt; He was too slow to react in the face of the strategic pressure of Konoha and the shogunate, and even did something stupid like giving up his ally Taki Shinobi, which caused the high-level elders of Iwakure and some of the upper shinobi to become dissatisfied with the current Tsuchikage Onoki, so they gradually had the idea of supporting the next generation.
Of course, Onoki's position as the Tsuchikage is still unshakable, for a simple reason - he is still the strongest person in the Iwakure generation, and there is no suitable heir to the inheritance secret art of the Tsuchikage line.
Unlike Konoha who are powerful in the ninja clan, Iwakure does not have a few large-scale blood inheritance limit ninja clans, and the dust escape of the earth shadow is the existence that supports the highest combat power of the ninja village, so it cannot be shaken easily. And when it comes to seniority, Onoki is still above many elders.
The plea of the elders and the upper ninjas is actually very simple, that is, to let an energetic young Zhuang faction come to power and lead everyone to Konoha for a while, and this young Zhuang faction had better have a close relationship with Tsuchikage Onoki, and even if it fails, it will not be liquidated - so, Loess is the most suitable person.
Therefore, after the private tandem of a group of elders, coupled with the encouragement of some of the upper ninjas, Loess finally mustered up the courage to say "no" in front of his father, and unexpectedly gained power.
"It's good to let young people try it......"
Onoki stood at the window and looked at his son Loess who had been embraced away by a group of elders and ninjas, and sighed silently in his heart.
He is not a selfless saint, naturally he is happy to see his family forever unified Yanyin for thousands of generations, but because of his own high requirements before, he hated his son loess a little bit of iron and steel, and Yan Yin, who advocated the "will of the stone", emphasized that personal struggle should be higher than the aftermath of his ancestors, so he has been suppressing the idea of future generations taking over.
But now that the rest of the village has taken the initiative to push their son to the throne and let the meat rot in their own pots, Onoki doesn't mind pushing the boat with the water.
"Anyway, Lao Tzu will give him a cover!"
With this in mind, Onoki handed over all the decision-making power of foreign affairs and the ninja army stationed abroad to the new Tokage assistant and the head of the upper ninja squad Lotos, and he concentrated on the internal affairs of the ninja village, such as looking for opportunities to deal with the elders who encouraged his son to seize power.
……
As Loess quickly seized power with the assistance of a group of elders and a shinobi, Iwakure's strategic shift was quickly deployed.
The Iwain Expeditionary Force, which had been fighting incessantly in the Land of Wind, began to retreat steadily, ceding the occupied area in the northern part of the Land of Wind.
And the confused Sha Yin didn't dare to act easily, and only after all kinds of reconnaissance did he determine that Yan Yin was the real withdrawal of the army, but under the constraints of the three generations of Wind Shadows, the Sand Yin Ninja Army still stabilized the formation and followed Yan Yin to steadily receive the lost ground.
In addition to withdrawing from the quagmire of war in the Land of Wind, Loess deployed most of the retreating ninja army in the territory of the Bird Country, forced the Rain Ninja Army led by Sanshoyu Hanzo, and built a number of ninja army camps on the southern border of the Land Country, posing as a two-sided attack on the Land of Rain.
Under tremendous pressure, Sanshoyu Hanzo had no choice but to lead his troops to withdraw from the country of birds and ask Uchiha Tokumitsu for help.
At the same time, a Iwakushi ninja army was stationed in the northern part of Takino Province in the name of "exchange", openly supporting the Kitataki Shinobu Village platform organized by the Takishino Martial Arts faction.
In addition, in the name of eliminating terrorist organizations, Loess also brazenly organized a ninja army of 2,000 people to be stationed on the border of the land country and the grass country, and the military exercises continued throughout the day, bringing a lot of pressure to the fire gate shogunate.
……
In less than a month, the strategic pivot under the auspices of Loess has yielded fruitful results.
After freeing himself from the burden of military spending on the expedition to the Land of Wind, Iwakure's strategic stance was not only greatly encouraged by the Ninja Village, but Loess's personal prestige was also successfully established.
Onoki once again complied with the hearts of the ninja village and handed over all the village's intelligence system to the loess.
The right to foreign affairs, the military power of the ninja army stationed abroad, and the right to intelligence, this means that if Loess has the will, it can force the village to launch a foreign war by falsifying information in minutes
"What Uchiha Tokumitsu can do, I can do too!"
In the face of the staged strategic victory and the praise of his subordinates, the loess that tasted the luscious taste of power gradually fluttered.
……
And Yunyin also began to pave the way for the four generations of Ai.
Although in the Southern War of the Land of Thunder, the ninja army led by the four generations of Ai Tong did not survive even a day in front of the shogunate ninja led by Uchiha Tokumitsu, but there were still many commendable points in the subsequent tug-of-war against Kigakure.
In addition, Yun Yin, who has now lost the two-tailed beast, really can't find a few masters, so the status of the fourth generation of Ai is not threatened.
Although there was some controversy internally, after the news that Loess took over as the assistant of Iwain Tuying and the head of the upper ninja class reached Yunyin, the three generations of Thunder Shadow also began to pave the way for their son.
However, since the Thunder Shadow lineage has been in the same line since the establishment of the village, the four generations of Ai are not so much the upper position as the successor.
First, the fourth generation of Ai Jin was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the border ninja army, responsible for commanding the Yunyin ninja army on the southern border, and then the fourth generation of Neiding's partner Kirabi was appointed as the general staff of the border ninja army - although Kirabi, as a general staff officer, did not know what a staff officer was, but this was not important, the most important thing was to make him familiar with the ninjas in the standing ninja army that currently gathered the most elite ninjas in Yunyin.
At the initiative of the four generations of Ai, Loess held a historic meeting with him in the southwestern part of the Land of Thunder as an assistant to the Tokage, and reached an agreement on the redemption and repurchase of the occupied area of Iwain in the Land of Thunder.
Stimulated by this diplomatic achievement, which was hailed as a "historic breakthrough" by Yunyin, the prestige of the fourth generation of Ai has also grown, and the road to succession has been unimpeded since then.
……
It's just that, unlike the new generation of Iwayin Yunyin, Uchiha Tokumitsu seems a little silent.
In addition to his own daily practice, Uchiha Tokumitsu is most concerned about the progress of Toad's research.
With the joint efforts of the Konoha Research Institute and the Uzumaki Research Institute, the fairy chakra about Myoki Mountain has also begun to lift the veil of mystery.
However, after the results of the research on paper, the Uzumaki researchers began to face a historic problem, that is, they could not access the natural abilities, let alone find out how the natural energy could be fused with the chakra of the ninja ontology - that is, after studying the composition of the senjutsu chakra, the actual application research could not be carried out.
……
"After spending so much money, this is the result...... Do you think that sounds like a word? ”
In the office of the Minamigawa Stock Exchange, Uchiha Tokumitsu put down the research report with a little headache, pressed his temples with both hands, and said to a group of whirlpool researchers who were hooking their heads and posing as dead pigs who were not afraid of boiling water.
"Lord Tokumitsu...... The main reason is that our strength is not good, and we can't even perceive natural energy, so we can't explore the fusion and refining of the Immortal Chakra......"
The director of Vortex Research said stiffly.
"Can't that toad find any useful information there?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu asked.
After handing over the captured toad to the Konoha Research Institute and the Uzumaki Research Institute, the Uchiha ninjas, who are known for their illusions, tried to extract information about Miaomu Mountain from their mouths through illusion hypnosis, but I don't know if it was because the toads of Miaomu Mountain themselves had special confinement or because of physical problems, the illusion of the Uchiha ninja either did not work on it, or it was completely fascinated and could not be interrogated, so the progress of the intelligence interrogation was not much.
"I only know that Mt. Miaomu enhances the affinity between the human body and natural energy through a substance called toad oil, but it is understood that the so-called toad oil cannot exist without the environment of Mt. Miaomu, so it ......"
A Uzumaki researcher with thick glasses at the bottom of a wine bottle explained.
"Toad Oil ......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu also remembered this "divine object" in his previous life, which could be called a cheating device for the immortal chakra.
However, with the current blood feud between the Uchiha clan and Mt. Myoki, it is impossible to obtain such a precious item unless the Uchiha Tokumitsu leads his troops to attack Mt. Myoki.
“…… Is there any other way? ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu originally wanted to directly perceive the natural energy himself and then forcibly ingest it into his body to smelt the Immortal Chakra, but after thinking about it, the so-called son of the daughter does not sit in the court, and it is really unnecessary to take this risk with his own identity, so he dispelled this idea.
Mt. Myoki also has toad oil and a small black stick as a training aid, and its current earth-crawlers will not turn into stone frogs because of their failed practice, but if Uchiha Tokumitsu makes a mistake on his own, the devil knows what will become.
“…… There is no better way to do it yet, but we are currently working on various exhaustive methods to study natural energy-friendly substances, and perhaps some progress will be made in the future. ”
The director of the Vortex Research looked at the subordinate who had become a shrunken turtle again, and said helplessly again.
Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at him speechlessly.
The so-called exhaustive method is a combination of various materials or sealing techniques, trying to find a substance that can react with natural energy by chance.
Who knows how much time and money it takes to do this!
“…… Give you two directions. ”
Uchiha Tokuko thought for a while and said, "One is the sacred particle, and the other is the tailed beast chakra; Let's see if these two substances can form a melting reaction with natural energy! ”
"Yes!"
The Vortex researchers were relieved.
After all, this is the research route designated by the big boss himself, so even if he makes a mistake, he doesn't have to bear much psychological burden.
The so-called sacred particles are the high-concentration cell extracts of the white absolute cells, and the tailed beast Chakra is because the Uzumaki Naruto Immortal Mode in the memory of the previous life seems to be somewhat compatible with the Nine-Tails Pattern, so they will study and study together by the way, and maybe there will be some results.
"Anyway, so much money has been spent, and it's not bad ......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu sighed.
