When the volume reaches a certain level, it becomes difficult to hide.
The ninja world is so big, and there are only a few people in the top circles.
The strongest major forces basically have a general understanding of each other.
On the sea beyond the land, Kirigakure Village has a great influence, Kumo Ninja is not weak either, and Konoha Village's presence is not strong.
As the power of the Kosugi family grew, the Kiri ninja began to retreat, and the Kumo ninja were suppressed on the shore and did not dare to easily go to the sea to provoke.
At this time, a simple elimination method can be used to pull out a list of suspects. If the Gushan family is not ranked first, it is definitely among the top ones.
"Who am I asking?"
The two of them considered it for a moment, and Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh,
"It's useless to ask the people working below about this kind of thing. Only the top decision-makers know about it. I'm afraid, only a very small number of confidants who actually handle it know something about it. There's no way we can arrest their direct clan members and torture them, right? "
Offending the biggest funder and ally for a speculation without any evidence would not be done by a broken brain.
Moreover, there is another important piece of information.
The mermaids actually have the ability to disguise themselves as ordinary people and move on land. This means that this force that has penetrated the ninja world has not been discovered by any force.
This ability to hide is too strong, right?
"Should we restart the "Amphibious Ninja" experiment? It seems that the hope for the future lies at sea..."
Danzo Shimura suggested,
"Actually, if you think about it, you should know that the total amount of strategic materials in the ninja world has suddenly changed. The Fusagi family sells a large amount of basic energy and staple food. Without additional sources, it is impossible to crowd out other suppliers and then monopolize Everything. The sea may not be as barren as it seems..."
"It's too late. The information from the experiment was in Orochimaru's hands. As the laboratory was abandoned, it disappeared."
Start now and start from scratch. How could it be that simple?
Thinking at the best, the forces in the sea are just like on land, divided and fighting endlessly, so they have no time to pay attention to the disputes on the shore. That would be the best.
If this force is not completely controlled by the Gushan family and is only in a cooperative state, there is still room for redemption.
"In short, let's try to get in touch first to see if we can establish contact and then strengthen cooperation."
If they could get online as soon as possible and expand the income channels of Konoha ninjas, they would undoubtedly be able to get out of the debt trap faster.
After finishing this conversation, the two actual controllers of Konoha Village sent out their men one after another, with mixed results.
According to the route in the mission report, it is indeed more likely to go to the sea area called Zuodu Island or Dragon Palace City, but it will be difficult to enter after they come back.
Less than half a month later, the Konoha ninjas still had not found a way to re-enter. They could only wait for the mermaids to find the door on their own initiative.
------------------
Just when the attention of the Konoha ninjas was attracted by the sudden appearance of mysterious forces, the "King of Fighting" challenge on Yuqi Island also came to an end.
A few years later, the reorganized "Female Fighter" team represented the Hoshi Ninja Village in the competition. After many hardships, they finally reached the finals and ranked fourth.
The top three are occupied by Iron Kingdom warriors, Mist Ninja and Sand Ninja.
The Konoha ninjas performed poorly this year. Only one genin team entered the top ten, and the top twenty-four in the finals only occupied two places.
This is actually in line with the current overall pattern of the ninja world. The advantages of Konoha ninjas are high quality education, full stamina, and superior overall strength at the chuunin and jounin levels. In this lower-middle-level combat stage, the fog ninja, The sand ninja and samurai groups are more dominant.
The Star Ninjas have achieved good results, which is also a good thing for the Star Ninja Village, which has a strong presence recently.
At the same time, Gushan Bushui's three little daughters also ushered in the beginning of their enlightenment education. In a private school specially prepared for internal children, Xiaoyi, Xiaojing and Xiaoyi
Si carried his schoolbag and walked into the classroom amidst his parents' concern.
The two little guys were still a little uneasy. Xiao Hiiragi held the hands of the two younger sisters in a very elderly manner and walked into a classroom full of strange children.
At this time, sending them to enlightenment is actually a preparatory class for nearly half a year. Whether they go to Inaba Academy or go to Konoha Village Ninja School for further studies, they need a certain foundation. It is impossible to really be illiterate, what? I didn’t even know, so I sent it over.
In addition, the most important thing is to let the three little guys get to know each other with the children of the same age in the family.
Growing children cannot stay with their parents and family all the time. They also need friends and playmates.
Most of the children who "study with the prince", those retainers and leaders of vassal forces, know the nature of the classroom here and what to do, and they know what to do.
It would be great if you could become playmates with Gushan Bushui's children, or even become close friends.
"I'm telling you, don't be afraid. As long as you study well, you will get preferential treatment. I have already inquired about it. My sister also said that going to school is not so boring, it is also quite fun."
"Aren't we afraid of being bored? There are so many strangers looking at us. Is there something wrong with our dress?"
The slightly weak Xiao Si timidly looked at the children nearby.
"Why don't you look at others and just stare at us?"
"Maybe he knows that there is delicious food hidden in our schoolbags and smells it."
"Eh?"
Xiao Jing asked strangely,
"Didn't father say not to bring it secretly? Sister, did you stuff it in again?"
"Of course, if you're hungry, you can eat a little. Do you want it?"
"Forget it!"
When the teacher walked in, Xiaoyi secretly put a piece of candy in her mouth and pretended to listen. Those who didn't see it thought she was listening honestly, and those who saw it also pretended not to know.
Through the monitor, watching his child's performance, Gushan Bushui said to the worried Hongye:
"Did you see that? Don't worry. From now on, they will have their own lives. You have to believe in the abilities of our children."
"In the past, Xiang Rin never encountered this situation. She suddenly went to Konoha Village. Although it was a good thing, she still felt a bit short-changed."
"It's never too late for good things to happen!"
After he persuaded Hongye to reassure her, Gushan Bushui put the matter aside for the time being.
Gushan Bushui was assured of the qualifications of his three little daughters. The key was how to arrange their growth environment so that their minds would not become distorted due to bad influences. This was the key.
When they came to the family temple on Yuqi Island to worship the family's ancestral god and perform rituals, Katsura Meiqin often brought her daughter here since Gusugi Bosui found a reason to make Qianxia, the daughter of Jiji's uncle's uncle, a shrine maiden who thought about the god. Get edified here.
This is a good thing for children. Even if they do not become highly respected and respected messengers of God in the future, it is still an important resume and they will have a good future within the family in the future.
If she knew that the eldest brother planned to give them a portion of the prince's title from another family, she would probably be even more surprised.
After having Chinatsu and Ikki, Katsura Mikoto still often misses her other two sons, but she is no longer as obsessed with them as before.
Especially for her daughter, Gui Meiqin paid a lot of attention.
Gushan Bushui did not come forward to talk to her, but waited for her to leave with the children before he showed up. He walked to the altar dedicated to the God of Si Jian and looked at the tributes in front of him thoughtfully.
After a long time, Kosugi Fusui asked Otsutsuki Kaguya, who was also silent:
"By borrowing the personality of the God of Thinking, will you be affected by it in the future? After all, this is a god known for his wisdom, and it doesn't go well with your Mao goddess and "ghost". "
"It's not bad! It definitely has an impact, but it's not as big as expected. The Otsutsuki clan is originally an eclectic and greedy group with an almost never-ending thirst for energy. They are originally based on absorption and fusion, hoping that quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.
Visitors from outside. "
"That's good. I don't want my collaborators to turn into lunatics with a mushy mind. How long will it take before you can hope to plant a new sacred tree on your own?"
"It can range from four to five years at least, or more than ten years at most? After all, the influence of Si Jian God is a bit different from that of the major gods."
"It's up to you! Just don't make Sijanshen's reputation too bad."
"How is it possible? This is a matter of mutual achievement. If I borrow it, his status may be improved."
"Really!"
For this kind of thing, Gu Shanbu Shui, who is dispensable, doesn't care at all. These are not even the real masters. They just believe in the existence of virtual gods who are aggregation of thought power. Perhaps thousands of years ago, there really was a thinking and god. , now, it is absolutely impossible to find the source of faith, so it can be easily borrowed by Otsutsuki Kaguya.
"By the way, there's something. I want to ask, do you know anything about "visitors from extraterrestrials"? "
"Hmm? What do you say?"
"Urashima Taro, this made-up character and his story always feel a bit familiar. There seems to be a very famous guy in the law enforcement team of the Otsutsuki tribe. The legend of his origin is a bit similar to the story you made up. It's almost like A fairy tale with a new skin."
"You mean, you know an Otsutsuki tribesman similar to Urashima Taro?"
"I know him, he doesn't know me."
Kaguya Otsutsuki answered simply,
"The guy who calls himself Otsutsukiura-style is very strong and has very strange abilities. It is said that he is a very skilled hunter. He has suppressed the guardians and the guardians who tried to rebel several times."
"Will you also face him in the future?"
"It's possible! The universe is huge, and the Otsutsuki clan is also very strong, but the scope of individual cognition is very limited. I know this person, which means that he is most likely the law enforcer responsible for cleaning up the traitors in this star sea. Find him. It's only a matter of time before you come to your door."
"Urashima Taro of the Otsutsuki clan?"
Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled noncommittally and said nothing more.
Gushan Bushui didn't know anything about the future more than ten years or decades later, but he also roughly understood the fact that the ninja world had gone through many hardships and still had not become extinct.
In the Fourth Ninja World War, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Zuo helped turn the tide and save the Ninja World.
Then who will come forward the next time aliens attack?
The fate of the ninja world will never deviate too far.
"Ignore this for now, let's get over the hurdle in front of us."
Walking to the back of the shrine, where the projection of the sacred tree is located, you can see a large tree nearly five meters high, growing vigorously.
Compared with the hot weather outside, it is obviously much cooler here.
Excessive energy is absorbed into the body by the sacred tree as part of the natural energy.
The leaves trembled in the breeze, emitting dark green light. From a distance, they seemed to be no different from ordinary trees.
After Gushan Bushui approached, he leaped to the top of the tree crown and saw a small flower bag in the center wrapped by several leaves that was swallowing energy essence.
It absorbed a huge amount of natural energy, but to this extent, Gu Shan Bu Shui was a little disappointed.
As time goes by, the rate at which the sacred tree absorbs natural energy will stabilize. If there are no huge changes or large-scale sacrifices, the growth rate will not be very fast.
Originally, Gushan Bushui planned to mature the first sacred tree fruit by the end of this year or early next year, but now it seems that he thought too much.
The natural energy and chakra required to produce a sacred tree fruit is much more than imagined.
The growth rate in the seedling stage is the fastest. The ninja world has accumulated for thousands of years and is indeed very wealthy.
As time goes by, the ninja world as a whole has not become stronger rapidly, and it is inevitable that the concentration of natural energy has declined.
At this time, the ninja's chakra is needed to make up for it.
"If there is no interference, it would be good to be able to bear a sacred tree fruit within two years. This...
...It’s too slow. It’s too slow! "
If you make sacrifices at every turn like you did when you helped Otsutsuki Kaguya create the "Wedge", it will be like killing the goose that lays the egg.
The ninja world is a good place. It has been "letting water to raise fish" for so long, and it has finally reached such a scale. Suddenly, the "Juhu Net" was launched and all the big and small fish were fished out. How can we continue to develop "sustainably" in the future? "Woolen cloth?
In an instant, Gu Shanbu Shui couldn't help but pay attention to the inside of the death mask, where the half-drawn nine tails were.
"How about taking it out and using it as a battery?"
"It's up to you."
Otsutsuki Kaguya herself doesn't care about the Yin Nine-Tails, even if it is actually part of the Ten-Tails she owns.
It doesn't matter whether you have less or more energy. Spend a little time and absorb natural energy, and you will be able to replenish it quickly.
"Use it as a back-up, just in case you need it. Don't rush to take action now. Anyway, I don't need to fight with any strong enemy now."
In any case, Uzumaki Naruto is an important combat force in the plan to resist the "extraterrestrial visitors". It would not be good if he was really killed.
Without these destined saviors to charge into the battle, wouldn't it mean that Major Governor Gushan would have to take action himself?
That’s too dangerous!
God knows how powerful the next Otsutsuki clan member who comes to the ninja world will be, and what magical abilities he will have?
It's important to reap the benefits, but you can't really destroy the ninja world.
