The following week.
Natsume stayed inside her house.
In addition to eating, bathing, and training Kaguya every day...
The rest of the time was spent studying and testing the "Spiritual Weaving Technique".
Not counting the early attempts and preparations.
He failed four times just to divide a small part of his soul.
If it weren't for its 'soul immortality', it could convert its massive chakra into soul power to nourish the soul.
Natsume's soul has long been cut into an idiot.
Even so, the separation every time was extremely painful, reaching deep into the soul.
It was even a hundred times more profound than the pain from fingers to heart.
It hurt so much that Natsume wanted to give up.
But, luckily.
After getting a lot of knowledge about [Wedge] from Kaguya, and learning from many advanced construction methods of [Wedge].
"The Art of Spiritual Weaving" has also been greatly compensated and improved a lot.
Just like that, in the 32nd trial and the 5th official weaving...
Natsume finally succeeded!
Successfully weaved a 'cocoon of soul' that was unique to him.
only.
This small 'cocoon of soul' that has just been formed is also very fragile.
You need to find a safe and stable carrying object.
As a warming place.
To be sure.
Natsume spent 5,000 gold coins from the system and exchanged it for an artifact: [Ten Fist Sword]!
Different from the one in Itachi's hands later, it only has the [Ten Fist Sword] in the form of a spiritual weapon.
This [Ten Fist Sword] redeemed from the system has this entity, similar to Natsume's [Kunchu Sword].
And this sword itself has a very strong sealing effect.
Not only can it seal entities, it can also seal souls!
It is most suitable to preserve your own 'Cocoon of Soul'.
soon.
Natsume sealed the 'Cocoon of Soul' into the [Ten Fist Sword].
And he was so crazy that he personally set nine seals for him.
This way.
Except for Natsume himself, it is impossible for anyone else to break the seal of the [Ten Fist Sword] and threaten the 'Cocoon of Souls' within it.
Unless the entire artifact is destroyed together...
Or maybe Natsume was resurrected through the 'Cocoon of Souls' and took the initiative to unlock the seal from within...
Anyway.
The final resurrection trump card has been set.
Natsume is also much calmer about the subsequent crisis-ridden 'Otsutsuki Motoji's Journey'.
…
In fact, Natsume couldn't help but doubt it.
If your main soul is really wiped out; if you are resurrected from this backup 'cocoon of soul', is it still your original self?
A new-born soul with all its own memories, emotions, and spirituality, is it still itself?
probably……
Anyway, human beings have been struggling with profound philosophical issues that have no conclusion for thousands of years.
Natsume didn't think he could comprehend it quickly either.
If I really had that understanding, what kind of ninjutsu would I practice?
He flew straight into the sky during the day.
What's more, as long as the system is still bound to itself, there should be nothing wrong.
In short, this is just the last backup card.
If you don’t need it, nature is best.
If you use it, it won't be a loss.
It’s much better than being wiped into ashes by the Otsutsuki family and leaving nothing behind...
Moreover, even if you really want to reach the point of using the 'Cocoon of Soul', it will not be easy.
That means that the enemy must at least:
Defeat Natsume→Block all Natsume's escape methods→Crack [Shen Izanagi]→Crack [Backup Hidden Means 1]→Crack [Backup Hiding Means 2]...
etc……
Only then can he completely kill himself and activate the 'Cocoon of Soul'.
Anyway, it won't be easy.
Natsume is still a little confident about his life-saving backup.
Otherwise, he would not have madly proposed the plan of 'invading the Otsutsukimoto family'...
…
the other side.
While Natsume was immersed in studying the trump cards to save his life.
[Konoha Village] is not idle over there either.
In order to make money, Tobirama really put all his energy into it.
But, at this stage.
Among the five hidden villages, except [Yunyin Village].
The other four families are having a hard time...
[Kirigakure Village]: Although Natsume made a small fortune from [Sunagakure Village] before, the decades-long [Blood Mist Policy] basically emptied Kirigakure Village; Not much oil and water.
And [Konoha Village] itself: In just half a year, it was destroyed three or four times! The villagers were either running for their lives or on the way to escape. Where is the extra money?
Finally, not to mention the remaining [Sand Hidden Village] and [Iwagakure Village]; the two hidden villages that were dug up three feet into the ground cannot squeeze out any oil or water at all!
Even the villagers in their two families can hardly afford to eat steamed buns, and they almost have no pants to wear...
Expect them to contribute another wave of sky-high military spending?
Might as well kill them!
no way.
Tobirama could only focus on the [Five Great Nations].
Although during this period, the entire ninja world was in turbulent times and wars broke out frequently.
The five major countries have all supported the five hidden villages with a large amount of funds.
But with the size of the five major countries, if you squeeze again, you can still get some milk...
The only thing that annoyed Tobirama was that little brat Natsume actually made two special requests.
First: All the 5 billion military expenditures only require real money.
This is easy to understand; after all, paper money in various countries is not universal, only real money is universal in the ninja world.
The second point:
I hope that when raising military expenditures, the economy of a big country will not collapse...
This is very strange, from Tobirama's point of view.
That evil greedy kid Uchiha Natsume, doesn't look like a guy who cares about other big countries?
The only possibility is that he is worried that after the economic collapse of the big country, it will impact his small [Yanyin Village], right?
In fact.
What Natsume is worried about is that he is afraid that if a big country's real gold and silver reserves are emptied at once, it will trigger a chain economic collapse and cause the value of silver exchange in his own system to depreciate...
After all, a country’s physical gold and silver reserves are its greatest credit value.
This is also the reason why Natsume has never taken direct action against the five major countries before.
Hollowing out the five major countries is easy.
However, the possible economic collapse of the entire ninja world would be very troublesome to deal with...
…
For this reason, Tobirama originally planned to directly drain the [Fire Country] treasury.
We also had to adopt 'roundabout' means.
He actually took his eldest brother Hashirama directly with him.
I went to the [Fire Country] Daiming Mansion and found the current Daimyo.
Order the other party to convene a meeting of the other four major countries to raise donations in the name of [Fire Country].
The first Hokage Senju Hashirama, who looked dead for decades, actually came back to life!
The current daimyo of [Fire Country] was scared to death on the spot.
He quickly followed the instructions without any hesitation.
In fact.
If it's paper money, even if it's tens of billions, it's nothing to the "Land of Fire".
They are all printed anyway...
That’s 5 billion in real money.
For a single [Fire Nation], it is indeed a huge burden.
However, if it is divided equally among the five major countries, it will not be so exaggerated and they can barely bear it.
There is a high probability that it will not cause a financial collapse...
However, the other major countries are very reluctant to do so.
Even if it is divided evenly, that is still a full billion taels of real gold and silver!
The kind that you can never spend in a lifetime!
Why do you ask us to pay a huge sum of money for worship with just one word?
And nothing seems to be of any benefit.
This is even more outrageous than free prostitution!
"As for the so-called catastrophe in the ninja world and the crisis of annihilation?"
"where?"
"Why didn't I see it?"
"What you say is unfounded, why should I believe it?"
The remaining four major countries were furious and opposed it one after another.
As a result, the first joint meeting of the five major powers collapsed and broke up unhappy, with no one willing to pay.
To this end, there was nothing Tobirama could do.
I had no choice but to take my eldest brother with me and start visiting each house to greet them.
that's all.
On that day, the five major nations recalled the fear of being dominated by the giant Buddha...
