On the top of a higher hill on the main island of Whirlpool Country, Aburame Shihui, wearing slender sunglasses and loose robes, stood on the top of a tree that had lost all its leaves, looking towards the distance where the sea and sky meet. .
The eyes hidden behind the lenses made it impossible to see his emotions.
Although it is located in the northern sea, the Country of Whirlpool is right at the intersection of the cold current in the northwest and the warm ocean current in the east. It has a lot of rain, a mild climate, a lot of land suitable for farming, and the land is quite fertile.
When fully developed, the cultivated land could feed tens or even hundreds of millions of people.
The biggest shortcomings of this place are its relatively small area and lack of mineral resources. Not to mention oil and natural gas, which have not yet become mainstream energy sources in the ninja world. There is basically no coal and iron that is urgently needed to enter an industrial society. It only has great potential for fisheries. It is an incredible gift from nature.
Of course, these are all general evaluations on land. No one can tell what is under the water. The current technological level of the ninja world has not yet developed to the extent that it can fully utilize marine resources. Only the mermaid troops under Gushan Bushui can mine some offshore mineral deposits.
A Whirlpool Country alone cannot achieve success, but if it is in the hands of another large force with a vast territory and rich resources, this isolated island country is also very valuable.
It was not the first time for Aburame Shihui to come to the Country of Whirlpools. She silently waited for the reconnaissance parasites to return, sighing slightly in her heart.
When I came here last time, this place was still a deserted and abandoned land. Only the ruins and ruins told people that there once was a prosperous country here. After so many years, this land is finally full of life again.
After several days of investigation, the all-pervasive parasitic bugs have traveled almost throughout the country, but no special information has been found.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, specifically asked to investigate whether the Furusugi family had any special arrangements here. At present, it seems to be quite normal.
Konoha Village has understood from the beginning that this kind of country, which is similar to an advanced base, is a very important winner, but it is not suitable to plant its roots here.
If it weren't for the fact that the steel fleet of the Kosugi family across the sea has really made such a big name in recent years, the Kumo ninja and Kiri ninja would never be so honest and helplessly watch the Uzumaki remnants and a lot of guys whose identities are unclear settle here. .
When it comes to special warfare, assassination plots, and sabotage behind enemy lines, secular aristocrats like the Kosugi family can't keep up with the ninja group in terms of courtship. However, when they show off their horses and horses, and fight with real swords and guns, even flesh and blood dare not stand in front of guns and cannons easily. target.
Three years ago, the Mist Ninja suffered a big loss. Although it was not widely publicized, for the ninjas who valued intelligence, they would definitely not let go of investigating every detail of this kind of thing.
The power of the giant ship's cannon calmed down the eager hearts of the ninjas a little.
The Ninja Village is very powerful, but the number of people is too small, and the military force of the secular government is not weak enough to be vulnerable. The throne of the "Old Rulers" is no longer as stable as before, but it is not so easy to be overthrown. .
Because of this, when Kosugi Bushui supported the Hoshi Ninja Village and a series of affiliated forces in the ninja world, no one made any objections, because that was originally the traditional sphere of influence of the Kosugi family. "The Return of the King" will regain the past Authority and resistance are not very great.
Strictly speaking, the territory of the Country of Whirlpool is already an unclaimed land. Since no one has taken action, Gushan Bushui has reached out first, and it is difficult for latecomers to stop it at will.
Over the years, there have been many opportunities to occupy this place, but no one has really taken it as their own. But when a big force does appear and ignores the tacit understanding and "plants the flag", it is already too late to "land on the beach".
"The important thing is not the value of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, but that if someone wants it, the forces that are qualified to take it for themselves will definitely take it."
Food only tastes good if you fight for it, and the same applies to spheres of influence. I don't have to pay attention to it, but if you try to grab it, I must take tit-for-tat action.
Cloud Hidden Village, Kirigakure Village and Konoha Village each sent a dozen elites to confront each other here. It is not really that certain to win. It is just like the gambling on the card table. One party raises the bet and the others must follow up, otherwise Just give up and quit.
The key object that triggered this whirlpool of battle——
- The Country of Whirlpool, like a normal person, didn't take the Mist Ninja, Kumo Ninja, and Konoha Ninja to heart at all, and carried out the reconstruction work step by step.
After establishing a three-way relationship, it's just a formality, a few harsh words, and no fight at all?
From the current point of view, it seems to be like this.
However, after getting to know the big man Fushui Fushui who was behind the scenes, Aburame Shihui had to think more.
Judging from the current defense of the country of vortex, it basically does not have the ability to protect itself.
The artillery position on the top of the city is indeed very powerful, the layout is reasonable, and the personnel are arranged very carefully. Even if the ninja army is approaching, it will have to suffer a certain amount of losses before it can be captured. However, a Jonin regiment, at the cost of three or five people being seriously injured or even killed in battle, launching a surprise special attack, could completely take down by surprise most of the professional soldiers who couldn't even defeat the Chuunin.
When a ninja reaches the jounin level, it begins the process of quantitative change to qualitative change. The destructive power of combat begins to increase sharply. A small-scale ninja army composed of a group of jounin can basically ignore the numerical advantage of ordinary people.
Without the advantage of firearms, the gap in combat power would be even wider.
"You can't take the initiative."
Aburame Shihui understood that the Insect Master Ninja Technique that she was good at was not very suitable for naval battles. In an island country with complex terrain like the Country of Whirlpool, its performance was still good.
The third generation of Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, asked Aburame Shihui to lead the team. It was obviously to implement a defensive counterattack strategy and not to compete for supremacy at sea.
With the nearly unsinkable sea base on Giant Turtle Island, Kumo Ninja clearly took the initiative. Of course, if the "big bastard" who stays motionless all year round and sleeps after eating really dares to go ashore, the Konoha ninja and the Mist ninja won't mind giving it some color.
In fact, Kumo Ninja's water fighting ability is really average. Thunderbolt has the attribute of using water to spread the attack range, but in actual combat, it is not very useful. Not only the power will be weakened by water, but also friendly forces may be accidentally injured. Shortcomings.
If it weren't for the ability of Thunder Release to paralyze the hit enemy, Yun Ren would not be able to gain a sense of presence on the sea at all.
In previous ninja wars, the Kumo ninja always felt extremely powerful on paper, but in real fights, they would always fall apart due to various reasons, unable to display their strength and become embarrassed. In the end, they could barely survive by relying on their strong strength. face.
The ninja world generally believes that the Kingdom of Thunder is good at fighting, and the Kumo ninja are also extremely tough. However, in fact, the way of fighting formations is no match for the Iwa ninja, the high-end power raid ability is not as good as the Kiri ninja, and the overall strength is inferior to that of the Leaf Village. .
In almost all battlefields, instead of taking full advantage of its advantages, it exposed its weaknesses and ended the war it started in an anticlimactic manner.
Just when he was thinking a lot, Aburame Shihui discovered from the information obtained from the parasitic bugs that the Country of Whirlpool actually allowed the Mist Ninja to enter its sphere of influence, and his originally expressionless face changed slightly.
"Really... spending some money to leave all the problems to our Konoha Village? It's amazing to have money!"
Expecting Party A's father to cooperate with him is a reality that all Party B hopes for but will never come to reality.
In terms of the sense of crisis, the Konoha ninjas who came all the way to "help the fist" had a stronger sense than the master of the Uzumaki Country.
After hesitating for a moment, but finding that his subordinates did not do anything extraordinary, Aburame Shihui made up his mind that as long as the Kiri ninja did not take the initiative to provoke, he would not get along with them.
After all, they are quasi-allies. Although they are very suspicious, they cannot destroy this unstable relationship.
At the same time, under the water tens of meters deep in the coastal waters of the Country of Whirlpools, where sunlight can hardly reach, intertwined corals and various fish and other marine life inhabiting them shuttle, and huge shadows swim by from time to time.
Several unknown fish-like creatures swung their long tails, dragging a submarine-like creature that was nearly fifty meters long toward an underwater port.
There is a spiraling corridor on the hollowed-out coral island. After leaving the water, hundreds of stairs go up. A dozen humanoid creatures with their scales and fish tails gone, leading a large number of young and immature faces.
Ten minutes later, we came to a place covered by coral reefs, actually in the sea.
In a large base on a flat surface.
"Even if you are a ninja, it is difficult to open this laboratory and it is not easy to use. You guys adapted quickly."
The leader Mu Ran smiled:
"You have to adapt quickly. I don't know how long you will stay here. If the three parties confront each other for too long, I'm afraid the young master will personally intervene."
"We could have not come, but we are not afraid..."
"Who have you Uchiha been afraid of?"
Kiran couldn't help but sneer and said,
"It's best not to put those outrageous ideas into practice. We are just fulfilling our promise by providing you with shelter. I hope you also have a sense of contract. The noble chief has spent a lot of money to win a glimmer of hope for you, but Don’t let down everyone’s expectations.”
"You don't need to remind us all the time, we are not ungrateful people."
"No grace..."
Kiran interrupted the other party rudely,
"It's cooperation, it's a transaction, and things should be done according to the rules. Although the young master does not really ask you to be a bull or a horse, in essence, you are the "chips" mortgaged by Uchiha Fugaku, and both your body and soul belong to the young master. all. "
"you……"
The leader turned his head angrily, and the three magatama spinning in his eyes made the scarlet pupils look extremely enchanting.
I wanted to have an attack, but I didn’t know where to start, so I had to give up.
Because what Mu Ran said is true.
In essence, all the Uchiha tribesmen who were sent out by Uchiha Fugaku and taken over by Gusugi Bosui were "contract slaves". Before everyone left, they were self-restrained at the cost of a three-magatama Sharingan. thinking boundaries. As long as Gusugi Bushui does not break his promise, these Uchiha people must be used by him.
However, after using the Forbidden Technique Izanami, one eye should be blinded. Why do so many people still have a pair of three Magatama Sharingan eyes?
The mystery behind this is, to put it bluntly, not worth mentioning.
Eye replacement is a very troublesome operation, but once there are successful cases, it will be much simpler to perform it again.
The blood relationship between the Uchiha people is very close, and the rejection reaction is very mild. With the help of the magical power of chakra, many side effects can be offset.
Here, there are as many blind victims as there are pairs of three magatama Uchiha.
This small move of artificially halving the number of "tool men" available to Gushan Bu Shui once made some people very disgusted. Even when Kosugi Bosui gave up part of himself and gave his Sharingan eyes to his people, he caused a lot of criticism when the guys replaced them with eyeballs grown using biotechnology.
Because the Konoha ninja came to the Whirlpool Country, the Uchiha survivors who originally settled here had to find another place to settle.
Aburame Shihui is a ruthless character, and the detection ability of the parasites is too strong. Gushan Bushui can't guarantee whether these unruly guys will be discovered, so he simply temporarily moves them to a secret place.
"I think it would be better to sacrifice them as sacrifices and use the "waste". "
"After all, it's your descendants who don't know how many generations, and they don't have any compassion at all."
Kosugi Fusui smiled and rejected Otsutsuki Kaguya's suggestion.
Since he promised Uchiha Fugaku to leave some life for this unfortunate family, Gusugi Fusui did not want to break his promise easily.
"Speaking of its uses, it does exist. If they can stay in the Country of Whirlpool with peace of mind, reproduce themselves into a new family, and start over with a new name, that would be a good idea."
"You think they seem to be keeping to themselves?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya curled her lips in disdain, not thinking highly of her blood descendant at all.
"What's more, once the Sharingan is awakened, it's hard to hide them. You can't keep leaving them in such a ghost place, right? If they're useless, no matter how much potential they have, they're worthless."
"I actually have an idea, but I haven't thought it through completely yet. I'll tell you when the time is right."
Ignoring Otsutsuki Kaguya's curious attitude, Gusugi Bushui Station
From a high place, through the one-way glass, you can see the performance of the Uchiha survivors.
"Even if it's useless, then it's better for them to leave a few children behind. They are all young people of the right age. They are exactly the age of Zhimu Shaoai. They can work hard and make a fire. It's normal to have an unexpected pregnancy."
"Hey, the humanity you are so proud of is becoming increasingly indifferent. Isn't it a bit inhumane to regard these people as breeding tools?"
"I just said this casually. The power of the Sharingan has spread. I am just curious about the Sharingan possessed by the mermaid clan reproduced through artificial insemination and the Uchiha clan of "Nemasa Akira" What's the difference. "
As for why his initially optimistic attitude has turned to a very cold or even bad attitude, Gusugi Bosui has gradually come to understand the difficulties faced by the top management of Konoha Village.
In terms of their ability to commit suicide, the Uchiha clan's level of madness is definitely second to none in the ninja world.
"When will you "confest" to me, bring "that person" to see me, and when will you give them equal cooperation status? Now, don't worry. "
