"No need! No matter how you research techniques, you will eventually return to the amount of chakra. If you cannot absorb natural energy on a large scale and harvest the chakra of all ninjas, you simply will not have enough power to support research and evolution."
No matter how powerful a steel battleship is developed, without energy to drive it, it is still a pile of junk and useless.
Otsutsuki Kaguya's answer made Gusugi Fusui feel relieved a little.
Indeed, no matter what the bells and whistles are, in the end, it is a battle for basic materials and energy.
From the beginning, the Otsutsuki clan has taken the ultimate route. They graze the entire world and harvest natural energy.
Their opponent, apart from the world itself, is another Otsutsuki tribesman, or an equivalent existence.
Without the power of the Sage of Six Paths, neither Naruto Uzumaki nor Sasuke Uchiha could have successfully sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki in the final battle.
After all, one Otsutsuki defeated another Otsutsuki.
The current Orochimaru is still confused by the complicated worldly phenomena, and there is still a long way to go before he can truly touch the ultimate mystery of this world.
No one can say how big this gap will be and how many years it will take to close it.
It is extremely difficult to fill it up. Gusugi Bushui has worked hard for so many years and almost never made any detours to reach this point. How many years will it take Orochimaru?
Orochimaru didn't study the jinchuriki much before, but only worked hard on the tailed beast chakra. Now, he finally turned his attention to the jinchuriki.
It's just too late, and now is not a good time.
"By the way, aren't you worried that Orochimaru will find out the secret of 'Wedge' from Kong?"
"Who do you think can glimpse the manufacturing technology of welding machines and machine tools and the smelting process of high-strength alloys from your steel battleship? The 'wedge' is just a tool. After it is completely thawed, it will not be able to see its original appearance, unless he can Use the 'wedge' to reverse the source to me. You should understand this difficulty even if I don't tell you, it's almost impossible."
"That's no problem!"
Since the "Goddess of Mao" promised so steadfastly, Gu Shan Bu Shui believed her once.
What happened with Orochimaru will not affect the Fushigi family too much. How it will develop after next year's "Konoha Collapse Plan" and how the "Akatsuki" organization will deal with him will have nothing to do with Fushigi Bushui.
In contrast, how to make the sacred tree mature as soon as possible is even more important.
Sitting high on the top of the cliff, looking down at the people living in the basin below.
Here is a hidden island located deep in the ocean.
Its area is neither large nor small. If it is fully developed, it will not be a problem to support hundreds of thousands of people. If it is larger, it will be necessary to expand the marine economy.
In the center of the island is an extinct volcano with its peaks flattened, and a large group of palaces has been built as the "residence of the gods". Halfway up the mountain, there are several barrier lakes of different sizes. The lake water follows the cracks in the valley and gathers in Together, after passing through a huge basin, they flow into the sea.
This island has no official name for the time being. Gushan Bushui privately calls it Zuodu Island and treats it completely as a place of exile.
Many people who Gushan Bushui thought had made unforgivable mistakes, but it would be a pity to kill them, were exiled here.
If there is still some use for it, there is still hope of remedying it.
Last time, several Uchiha clan members who had private contact with Uchiha Sasuke and brought about unpredictable changes were placed here.
Most of the people sent to this island, with the exception of a few jailers, were given the secret technique of Submersible Brain Manipulation by Kosugi Bosui, and they forgot everything about themselves as ninjas, whether they were chuunin, genin, or Apprentices, warriors, and fighters all don't remember what they were like in the past. Instead, they start a life isolated from the world with a new identity.
Before and after, seventeen Uchiha tribesmen were sent here, as well as more than a hundred mentally unstable mermaids, tiger-men, werewolves and other beings not suitable to appear in the outside world. In addition, they have been sent here over the years. The inmates of the island, this livable valley basin, have built a town of more than three thousand people.
"This year, six newborns have been born. Is this really... surprising?"
"If you ask me, I don't know!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki replied angrily,
"The indigenous humans of the ninja world are like this. As long as the conditions are right, they can multiply quickly. I don't know the true meaning of why you want to send some people who can be killed or not killed here. If you want to create a world with In this isolated world, wait until you eat the fruit of the sacred tree and directly use Infinite Tsukuyomi to restart the world."
"I can take away other people's lives, or I can give them a new life. This place will serve as the holy land of the Water God - Suqiu Jinming. It will become my private place and my last retreat."
"Then...are you going to use a sealing barrier to separate this place from the ninja world?"
"No! Use the illusion barrier to cover it. If someone enters it by mistake, don't treat it too harshly. Let them have room to escape. Next time they come again, the barrier will remember their information and exclude them from entering."
It would be a pity to be completely isolated. Like the other three sacred places for psychic beasts, a series of legends must be created to become the "Peach Blossom Land on the Sea" in the ninja world and a pure land in people's hearts. If there are really talented people who break in , you can also try to domesticate it.
After jumping off the cliff, Gushan Bushui walked quickly and came to the main road of the town. He looked at the market that had not completely dispersed. It was very lively with people coming and going.
In particular, a man whose skin was tanned by the scorching sun on the sea saw Gu Shan Bu Shui walking over and selling the sea fish in front of him.
This person, Fusugi Fusui had some impressions. He was one of the culprits who once wanted to encourage the Uchiha survivors to cause trouble and contacted Uchiha Sasuke in private.
Now, he has forgotten that he is a ninja and does not remember how to activate the Sharingan. He is just an ordinary fisherman who married a beautiful woman and gave birth to a son.
His wife is also one of the out-of-control mermaids whose crazy nature has been suppressed.
Their son was naturally gifted with the Sharingan eye and the ability to transform into an amphibious ninja.
However, because he didn't know how to refine and utilize chakra, he could only see a few fine fish-scale birthmarks on the little baby.
There are quite a few children like this in the small town, and no one makes a fuss if they see them a lot.
After shopping at the stall for a while and buying a few beautiful ornamental fish, he handed the boss a few taels of silver. With the other's gratitude, Gu Shan Bushui walked towards the center of the village.
Ten minutes later, Gushan Bushui was in the mayor's office, listening to a report from a fat middle-aged man below.
After looking through the reports of the past few months, Gushan Bushui asked:
"Last time I came here, I remember it wasn't you. What was your name?"
"My subordinate is a shadow dancer in the shadow. He retired from the front line due to injury in his early years."
"In the shadow? Which mountain gate?"
"Shiranui! Therefore, I will take the name of Shiranui as the mayor for the time being."
"A master of assassination and excommunication!"
The ancient cedar can tell the water clearly.
The so-called Shiranui is the flames of the sea that fall from the sky. According to legend, it is the anger of the gods, burning the world and cleansing away the filth.
Coastal residents generally believe that the mirage that they occasionally see at sea is the appearance of the great monster Shiranui.
The Shiranui in the Furusugi Family Shadows are basically dead warriors who are proficient in assassination and destruction behind enemy lines. Those who can live to middle age are still alive. There are many hundred-man slayers and thousands-man slayers.
Even in the Shadows, Shiranui is a quite mysterious existence. Some people even think that Shiranui is a cursed demon sword that will bring disaster.
The famous sword named Shiranui does exist, but it is not a weapon that can bring disaster. It is just a weapon similar to the Kusanagi sword.
The guy named "Shiranui Ichimi" in front of him has nothing to do with Shiranui Genma of Konoha Village.
In fact, fires of unknown origin are easily called Shiranui, such as phosphorus fires in mass graves and eternal flames from underground natural gas vents.
"Young Master, there are more and more people in this small town. I am afraid that I will be too busy just relying on one subordinate. I need a few more assistants to share the pressure."
"Is there no local talent that can be promoted?"
"Yes, there is, but... some more secret things cannot be entrusted."
"I will consider it! Now, there is something you need to do..."
Seeing Shiranui kneeling on one knee, Kosugi Fusui said calmly,
"The planned Legend of Ryugu and Taro Urashima's matters can be arranged."
"Understood! Are the mermaid forces about to appear?"
"Um!"
Next year will be the time for the "Konoha Collapse Plan". Some things need to be prepared in advance. How to integrate the new race of mermaids, together with other small demi-humans, into the large group of indigenous humans in the ninja world is a great test of operational ability. of.
It would definitely not work if a strange intelligent species suddenly appeared. It would easily be regarded as an alien and ostracized by all parties.
The people on Zuodu Island are almost a blank sheet of paper, and they can be painted by Gushan Bushui.
As long as there are no major flaws, it is very necessary to use it as a link to successfully present the mermaid race to the public.
Exchange and integration will bring great development and prosperity to the ninja world, thereby increasing the concentration of natural energy and accelerating the maturity of the fruits of the sacred tree.
Gushan Bushui considered every detail of this plan, including how to expose Zuodu Island, the creation of the legend, and the appearance of the mermaid.
The Country of Whirlpools, the Country of Waves, and the Country of Bears! These three small countries, firmly controlled by the Gushan family, will bear the first wave of cognitive impact, and then spread to the Fire Country.
Of course, there are countless weird stories born in the ninja world every year, and mermaids are just one of them. However, when it actually appears in front of people, it still takes a certain amount of time to buffer and make people accept it.
Kosugi Bushui sent down a bunch of information, especially four of them, including the information of the leader Bai Yunha Sannin, as well as Shiro, Yayoi and Konishi.
"Bai is one of ours, but he himself does not know the details and strives to be true. Soon, a carefully prepared mission will be announced in Konoha Village, and the four of them will accidentally enter Zuodu by chance. Island, discover this paradise-like village, and then pass Urashima Taro, and then investigate the 'Ryuugu', discover the magical 'mermaid clan', and finally let this ocean that lives far away from the sea, has no contact with land humans, and is almost unknown Civilization will emerge. You have to keep the process in mind and don’t make mistakes..."
"As you command!"
Shiranui replied very seriously when he saw it.
"I'll leave the next thing to you! The most important thing is not to let the Konoha ninjas find out that this place is related to the Gusugi family. If there is an accident, please notify me in time. This is more important than the success of the mission."
"Don't worry, young master, the dead will not reveal any information, especially the kind that has no bones left!"
There is no proof of death, and even no traces can be found, so naturally it is impossible to judge whether it is true or false. This is the way Kage no Sato Shiranui does things.
Killing people and silencing them, destroying corpses and eradicating traces is their true calling.
"As long as you understand, go ahead!"
Watching his subordinates who had only promised to do things leave, Gu Shan Bu Shui couldn't help but sigh.
Once the mermaid subspecies emerges, it is difficult to predict what kind of impact it will have on the human race of the ninja world and how much impact it will have on subsequent development.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the ocean is no longer vast and boundless, but it produces very little barren land.
The value of the coastline will be greatly improved. The importance of inland transportation, rivers and lakes is no longer just a transportation hub.
By that time, will the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja be able to resolve their differences and yearn for gold nuggets in the ocean?
"The five major ninja villages have been fighting each other for so long. If a 'sixth party' suddenly appears, everyone will be frightened. Powerful enemies are scary, and enemies who don't know the details are even more difficult to attack."
Goodwill, peace, and an attitude that does not exclude communication are the keys to dispelling the ninjas' vigilance and continuing to act at the same pace as before.
------------------
Half a month later, Baiyun Yeshan led three subordinates and students towards the country of waves.
After the Bear Country mission almost went wrong, Baiyun Yeshan has become much more cautious and has not led students on many far journeys. Occasionally, there are C-level missions, which are clear in origin and simple in process, such as protecting important personnel, standing guard and patrolling, and other ordinary tasks.
It was only now that the Chunin Examination was approaching. In order to determine whether the three students were qualified to participate in this year's Chunin Examination, Baiyun Yeshan accepted the investigation mission to the Country of Waves for the first time in a long time.
From the perspective of mission requirements, there is almost no possibility of fighting ninjas. It just helps local residents find out the truth about some unknowable magical phenomena and eliminate everyone's doubts.
Even if you really find that there are unscrupulous forces playing tricks, there is no need to confront them head-on. It is enough to submit intelligence. If you eliminate the enemies, you will have another task entrusted to them.
