After the Yuhuo incident was over, Gushan Bushui found another time to implant the last "wedge" into Bai's body.
This time the reaction was much smaller.
It's obviously the same "wedge", but there are such big differences in different people.
Uchiha Mikoto's reaction was the smallest, with almost no abnormality, and Yuhuo's movement was the largest. If it weren't for the help of Fusugi Fusui, it would be difficult to survive the initial level.
"There seems to be some problem with your understanding of your own 'wedge'."
Hearing Kosugi Fusui's complaint, Otsutsuki Kaguya was also a little confused.
"It's almost the same container, and the rejection reactions vary from mild to severe. No pattern can be seen for the time being. I haven't noticed these details before. Anyway, it's either dead or alive. Who cares about these chess pieces that may not be useful? "
The so-called "wedge" is just a precautionary measure. The lifespan of the Otsutsuki clan is extremely long. In most cases, there is no need to have children to continue their mission.
Across the sea of stars, the well-informed Otsutsuki Kaguya has a very different view of future generations than the natives of the ninja world.
Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto largely inherited the talents of Ashura and Indra, and are the most similar to her two unfilial sons; as for other blood descendants, in the mind of the "Goddess of Uzumaki" , not much different from the crops in the fields and the livestock on the farm.
Generally speaking, the distance between parents' generations directly determines the closeness of the blood relationship. But the Otsutsuki clan is different. In this era, the atavism of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto is the most serious. This is not unrelated to the fact that they inherited the reincarnation chakra of Asura and Indra.
Physical genes are only one factor that determines lineage, and there is also the magical existence of chakra, which can determine many things, including inheritance.
Although Uchiha Mikoto also inherited a bit of the blood of the "foreigner", it was so thin that she couldn't even open the Sharingan, so it probably wouldn't have any impact.
Baidu, who had awakened the relatively dangerous blood inheritance limit, did not have an exaggerated rejection reaction. Why was Yuhuo so unusual?
"Perhaps, it is not rejection, but the fusion and thawing has accelerated. Because I am in the seal and observing through your perception, it is still a bit unintuitive. The degree of thawing of the 'wedge' on Yu Huo may come from behind..."
"What's the point?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya hesitated for a moment and then replied:
"The 'wedge' of my clan is not the method of Orochimaru's forbidden technique, Fuzo Tensei, which discards the old shell and uses a new 'container' to hold the soul, but swallows the container completely, including the body and soul. A miracle that we take as our own. The genetic information indigenous to the ninja world does not mean much to the Otsutsuki clan. However, humans who have been living together for countless years have always had mutations in their bodies that I can't stand. Stay tempted."
For example, Ranmaru's red eyes are very valuable, and the Sharingan's series of magical secret techniques in the middle stage are really powerful. Children's arts such as Kamui, Betsutenjin, Amaterasu, Suzo Nenghu, Yinxie Naqi and Yinxie Nami are no worse than the power of the Samsara Eye, and when used at the right time, they are even more magical.
The Otsutsuki clan is not complacent. If they encounter useful bloodlines, they will "steal" them through the reincarnation of "Wedge". Among Kaguya Otsutsuki's series of blood-inherited snare secret techniques, a small step was obtained through plunder.
"Does Yu Huo have a power that interests you?"
"No, her blood limit power is transplanted, and the acquired mermaid blood is also a foreign product. I don't think this is because the excellent blood has accelerated the thawing of 'Wedge'. It is because she was originally a pure and flawless human being. The bloodline is contaminated by the transplanted mermaid genes."
Although the external erosion has stopped, it will not transform into a "monster" due to out-of-control power.
"Are you saying that the inherently unstable body genes are less resistant to the 'wedge' and the 'wedge' thaws faster?"
"That's roughly the truth. The previous reaction was not because Yu Huo had better qualifications, but because there were loopholes in the body's genetic information, which was instinctively exploited by the nearly omnipotent 'Wedge'."
In this way, hybridization of different species or conflicts of forces within the body, or even deep-seated mutations affecting genetic information, will accelerate the thawing of the "wedge". For ordinary ninjas, this means that they are closer to the big test of being "taken away" faster.
Logically speaking, it is most dangerous when it is first implanted. As time goes by, each thaw is an opportunity for further assimilation.
There are so many unexpected factors in Orochimaru and Uchiha Mikoto that it's hard to say, but Yuhuo and Shiro are different. These are two children who are only about ten years old, in the growth period, and are about to enter a period of rapid improvement in strength.
In less than three years, perhaps even before Xianglin graduates, the "wedge" between the two of them will reach the critical point of completely thawing.
Essentially, as long as "Wedge" is completely thawed and not dead, there is an opportunity to "purify" the power of the Otsutsuki clan in the body to condense the seeds of the sacred tree, plunder the original power of the world, plant the sacred tree, grow into fruits and eat them , you can become a new Otsutsuki clan member.
The difference is that these four "wedges" are very dangerous, and the ones left for Gu Shan Bu Shui are the "white wedges" that have been "inactivated" and specially designed to correspond to special training.
"You mean, children like Yuhuo who have been impacted and whose genetic information is disordered are more likely to have 'Wedge' thawed quickly, but they are also more likely to die from genetic collapse?"
Indeed, everything has two sides. Yuhuo's special experience determines that she is not a pure indigenous human in the ninja world, but a special "mermaid" who has been treated to eliminate most of the side effects, a land creature with aquatic abilities. Long animals.
The further the blood relationship with the Otsutsuki clan is, the higher the risk is inevitable. The mermaid cells in Yuhuo's body have not yet been completely removed. The mermaid bloodline is almost integrated into one body. Even the biological species have changed. It should be absolutely impossible to give birth to such a hybrid on a purely material level. Instead, chakra will be closer to the instinct. field, creating a new subspecies of human beings.
“Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not.”
The ancient cedar can tell the water clearly.
According to this theory, Kurama Yakumo is a good container, if the "wedge" can be successfully planted in her body.
The newly born "wedge" is actually very fragile. It has no power to support it at first and relies almost entirely on the chakra of Gushan Bu Shui to maintain its activity. Kurama Yakumo's genjutsu type blood inheritance limit has a very wide range of application. Once she is determined not to accept the "wedge", it is possible to crush it if she is well prepared.
There is life and there is death.
No one else could do it to nip the danger of new life in the cradle, but Fusugi Fusui felt that the current Kurama Yakumo was very likely to have such an ability.
…
After another three days, the family tried hard to persuade him, but his cousin Zhiji didn't change his mind.
If he could have changed his mind so easily, he wouldn't have been expelled back then. It's not that he likes Uchiha Mikoto, a pretty widow, to death, but that his uncle Zhiji always appears as a sober and ascetic person, but when he meets someone he really wants to do and someone he likes, he will... Will be particularly persistent.
The bloodline of the Gushan family gave him a very good intelligence, and his dark and deep madness has not diminished at all.
It's not that you go to extremes, but that you are too smart, see everything in the world very clearly, and will not easily change your mind due to worldly prejudices.
Appreciating a wise, knowing those out. There are still some people who do the former, but very few people practice the latter. At this age, Cousin Zhiji has finally found some value and meaning in his life.
"Master in charge, what are you going to do? My family... doesn't seem to be ready to do anything big. With my status, I'm not suitable for public appearances."
"Me too. Spend money to find a wedding ceremony or something. If you don't have any special ideas, we can just invite the family to get together and let everyone know."
It is also not suitable to publicize your wedding in a big way. Cousin Zhiji is actually not very interested in making a show for others.
"I don't have any special requirements. A woman who has lost her husband and family, and a girl who has lost her sense of comparison, whatever suits you best, please make arrangements with me."
"From now on, just call me Disciplinary, Master in Charge or something like that. That's too polite."
Uchiha Mikoto smiled and said nothing.
In public places, some titles are difficult to change. The two of them are not planning to let too many people know about their marriage. The possibility of showing affection in public is close to zero.
"In short, it's a little rushed, but we have a lot of time to slowly understand and get along. If you have any ideas, you can tell me. Although I no longer have a place in the direct line of the Gushan family, generally I don't It's such an important thing, I can still handle it by asking my cousin and nephew. In two years, I'll see if I can get the name Miao from my name. For now, let's just use the number as the surname for the time being, otherwise, it's not good to not have a family. . First take Gui as the surname, and then we will call the Guigong family..."
"knew."
Uchiha Mikoto, who bowed her head in implicit agreement, had no objection to this.
"The daimyo and Kosugi are really as close as one family. Even the children who have taken away the family name can inherit the surname of the prince."
"We are the same family, but they are different inside and outside."
Haruki's cousin, the middle-aged man who can now be called Katsura Haruki, took Uchiha Mikoto's cold hand slightly awkwardly and responded happily:
"I have already agreed with brother-in-law Zhengcheng that when the time comes, he will have a nice word to say in front of the daimyo."
Although Uchiha Mikoto doesn't care whether she is called Katsura Mikoto or Katsura Mikoto in the future, she still has some dignity and should fight for those who can.
It is said that the beautiful woman in front of her has two underage children and is in a lot of karmic troubles. It is not known how big the thunder will be. If there is a surname named Guigong in the future, it will also make people who have evil intentions hesitate.
The reputation of a daimyo is quite useful.
At the same time, Gushan Bushui was carrying a shovel and was shoveling snow and taking care of the manor at the pavilion in the back mountain with his old father, chatting by the way.
】
Under normal circumstances, the owner does not need to do such rough work, but now, the situation is unusual. Although Zhi Ji's cousin's marriage does not require outsiders to observe the ceremony, even if a few close relatives come to recognize each other, it is an extremely important occasion and there are many things that need to be arranged.
Because it was too hasty and there was obviously a shortage of manpower, the two of them had nothing to do and were very quiet, trying to change their mood on this snowy and clear day.
"Before the Adult Festival, I have to rush to Konoha Village. Why don't you go with me?"
"forget it."
Gu Shanbu Shui waved his hand and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"I don't need to do this kind of thing. I don't necessarily have the patience to do all the fussing and haggling."
"I can't do it either. I just went over to hold the place, make the final decision, and have the big name stamp and sign it."
"I know that my father is also lazy, so I don't know what to think."
"It's not important anyway. The key is that Konoha Village is prepared to give in."
Fusugi Masaki inserted the shovel into the thick snow and asked a little strangely,
"Are the talents of those children really so good that even the Leaf Village is willing to spend money on them?"
"It's true that talent is good, but it's not worth it. It's still very subtle. The key is that at this time, Konoha Village and us are seeking to further bind each other, which is intriguing..."
"How to say."
Gu Shan Bu Shui chuckled and said something irrelevant:
"This year's sports lottery business has gone to a new level. The gimmick is very good and has attracted a large number of people who think they have a good eye to follow suit. In the same event, the two parties who bought the opponent's market thought that the other party was a fool and they were sure to make a profit. No compensation.”
"You mean?"
Gushan Zhengcheng seems to have realized something.
The cooperation between the Konoha Village and the daimyo was like buying a lottery ticket. They all felt that they were extremely capable and lucky, so they placed heavy bets.
"We have been competing with the Konoha Village for dominance for decades. On the surface, it seems that the daimyo has a higher status, but in terms of substantive benefits, the Konoha ninjas get more. Everyone reluctantly accepts the status quo, but some are unwilling to do so. Wanted more. So, an opportunity presented itself to try my hand again.”
Has Konoha Village become a leader at a higher level with the help of the resources of the Furusugi family, or has it been eroded by infiltration and lost part of its initiative?
"Are you so sure?"
Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled proudly:
"The Leaf Village may win, but the Fusagi family will definitely not lose. Don't worry, I have everything arranged."
"That's fine. It would be embarrassing if, decades later, when Ryoshige succeeds to the throne, he becomes a bald daimyo."
"A secret reminder to you."
Gu Shanbu Shui lowered his voice, leaned over and said,
"Everyone, everything, resources and systems on the surface right now are all chips on the table, including those self-righteous bookmakers. The key to victory or defeat is off the court, and it is not the time to be honest with you yet. The Konoha ninjas do have the ability. And the performance is excellent within a certain standard range. However, the shortcomings of being proficient in tactics and poor in strategy are too obvious. The second generation of Hokage, Senju Tobirama, barely has a bit of courage, and the others...are not worth mentioning."
The existence of the daimyo side in the original timeline was too weak, and they had no ability to resist, allowing the future Konoha Village to develop into a giant city, and the priorities were completely reversed.
Sooner or later, Gushan Bushui will make those ambitious ninjas realize what opportunities they will miss if they are obsessed with the one-third of an acre of land under their feet.
