April is the time when Konoha’s cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
Between the Ninja School and the main east street, there is a promenade filled with cherry blossom trees. The entire promenade is filled with brilliant and beautiful cherry blossoms.
Bai Yu accompanied Kushina to enjoy the flowers in the morning, and then went into the laboratory in the afternoon.
Although Kushina was only initially using the Nine-Tails Chakra, her strength changed qualitatively when she used the Nine-Tails Chakra mode.
Although the previous Kushina had mastered the "Red Dragon Tribulation" before Bai Yu, Bai Yu was still able to fight her with his experience and skills.
But since the moment Kushina learned the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
Bai Yu is no match at all.
The nine-tailed chakra is so powerful, and Bai Yu is looking forward to the innate spells after promotion.
Now Uzumaki Mito's seal still exists in Kushina's seal space, but the restrictions on the Nine-Tails are much smaller than before.
The amount of chakra that Nine Tails can give Kushina has been greatly increased, and the progress of Bai Yu's experiments has also been greatly improved.
The golden chakra purified by the Nine Tails is of the same "perfect" quality as its own chakra, but the golden chakra is gentler, which makes the cultivation process of the "Sacred Tree" bloodline much smoother, and the purity is increased by 5%.
At this time, Bai Yu was conducting further experiments on cell fusion in the laboratory.
Orochimaru suddenly walked into the laboratory with a sullen face.
Bai Yu stopped the experiment in his hands and asked: "What's wrong, Mr. Orochimaru, what happened?"
"Bilihu defected."
Orochimaru said solemnly.
"Beiliu Hu?" Bai Yu was stunned when he heard this. This person had a good relationship with the Sannin. He was an ordinary jounin with no special characteristics. Bai Yu was not very impressed by Bei Liuhu, except that he was tall. He is tall and handsome and can make people pay a little attention to him.
"What did he do?"
Bai Yu asked, thinking that it would not be another political incident, and an ordinary jounin should not be involved.
Orochimaru: "He is secretly studying forbidden arts, trying to transform his body, and he has also attacked the ninjas in the village."
"Modify your body?!"
Bai Yu's eyes lit up, is he another scientific research ninja?
"He wants to perfectly integrate various blood inheritance limits into his body and change his mediocre qualifications, but this is simply impossible to achieve." Orochimaru said solemnly.
Fusion of blood lines is more difficult than successful transplantation of primary cells.
The convergence of multiple blood vessels and cells into a ninja's body will cause the body to have a strong rejection reaction and kill him on the spot.
"Fusion of blood stain limits? So was his experiment successful?"
Bai Yu asked, very interested in this.
Although the art of merging multiple bloodstain boundaries is theoretically impossible based on the current level of medical treatment and experimentation, the path he chose as a "spiritual summoner" is to fuse multiple bloodlines.
However, Bai Yu's fusion is based on the "Sacred Tree" bloodline, supplemented by other bloodlines, allowing the "Sacred Tree" bloodline to absorb other bloodlines to improve purity and quality.
If you want to integrate the blood-stained limits, you probably need to maintain a balance between the blood-stained limits.
Otherwise, if one bloodline is too strong, the strength of other bloodlines cannot keep up, which will inevitably lead to devouring.
It would be okay if they become stronger after devouring each other, but the greater possibility is that the power of blood becomes weaker after devouring each other.
If Bai Yu didn't have the two innate spells "Eye of Reality" and "Super Brain Deduction", the difficulty of cultivating the bloodline of "Sacred Tree" and "White Phosphorus Orochi" would be greatly increased.
"Judging from the samples he left behind, it should not have been successful, but the experimental data has been destroyed. I don't know the specific situation. The third generation classified him as an S-class rebel nin and asked me to go after him. Let me inform you, I may not be able to come back in a short time, who knows where he will go?"
Orochimaru's tone was a little irritable.
He didn't know whether it was because he didn't want to hunt down his former friend, or because it delayed his experiment.
"Teacher Orochimaru, how about this? How about I help you complete this task?"
Bai Yu said.
He was very interested in this Beilihu. Regardless of whether his experiment was successful or not, just by proposing this idea and taking action on it, he was considered a genius.
It is necessary to go and see it.
Maybe you can get inspiration from the forbidden technique developed by Beilihu.
It just so happened that Bai Yu wanted to go to the Grassland Mountains to search for medicinal materials. The white creatures he had caught before had very little body tissue left in these years of experiments.
The activity of the newly cultured cells gradually decreased, causing the efficacy of the "Deep Blue Agent" to decline.
Bai Yu didn't go there because he felt it was weird.
Now that he already has Kage-level strength, and Kushina, a regular Kage-level rich woman who doesn't know how strong she is in a cheating state, is here, he can go to the Land of Grass to find out.
"You?" Orochimaru was startled when he heard this, and reminded: "The fusion experiment is basically impossible. If you are doing it for this, it is a complete waste of time. Of course, if you still insist on chasing Beilihu, I think the third generation There will certainly be no objection.”
"Well, then I'll go find Kushina now."
Bai Yu put down the experimental equipment in his hand.
Orochimaru's mouth twitched, Bai Yu actually wanted to take Kushina with him, because he was determined to prevent Beiruhu from having a chance to escape.
If the current Kushina uses the power of the Kyuubi, she may be stronger than the third generation.
"Bai Yu." Just when Bai Yu was about to leave the laboratory, Orochimaru called him.
"What's wrong?"
"If you encounter Beiliuhu, I hope you will show mercy..."
"This...I can't guarantee that I can catch him."
"Um."
...
Hokage's office.
"Be careful and go back early."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.
"yes!"
Bai Yu and Kushina bowed slightly towards the third generation, took the mission order, and left the Hokage's office.
When the two of them left, Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile faded and he frowned slightly.
In fact, he didn't want Kushina to go out, especially after finding out that Kushina was not as easy to fool as he thought.
In addition, Bai Yu's impression in his mind has changed from "the successor of the Will of Fire" to "a scheming person". He is a little afraid that Bai Yu will lead Kushina astray.
But he simply couldn't refuse.
After finally sending away the "Emperor" Uzumaki Mito, Kushina learned the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, which not only greatly increased Konoha's strength, but also added a lot of uncertainty.
It can be said to be a mixed blessing.
Fortunately, Kushina is not interested in power, and Bai Yu has no intention of fighting for power at the moment.
Once Orochimaru takes his place, the situation should be much better.
Unfortunately, Tsunade had a big quarrel with them over Sakumo's death some time ago and had already gone out to relax. Otherwise, he can ease the relationship with her, and then use her to win over Kushina.
Headache!
...
Bai Yu took the third generation's pass warrant and took Kushina, a genin, out of Konoha.
The two of them were running through the forest, and Kushina asked: "Baiyu, where are we going?"
“According to Mr. Orochimaru, Beiruhu, like him, got acquainted with the Daimyo of Ta no Kuni due to previous missions, so he may go to Ta no Kuni first.
Just in time, you can see how Sora and Naomi are doing recently.
After that, we will go to the Country of Grass again. I want to find something. "
Bai Yu explained.
"Yeah." Kushina nodded and fell into silence.
Seeing that Kushina looked a little confused, Bai Yu took the initiative to ask:
"What are you thinking about?"
Kushina: "Baiyu, you said that with the help of the Nine Lamas, it shouldn't be difficult to rebuild the Kingdom of Whirlpool, right?"
"Theoretically, it's possible. After all, I feel that you are now better than the third generation, but from a practical point of view, it's not the time yet." Bai Yu said with a determined expression. He had carefully planned to help Kushina meet again. consideration.
"Why?"
Bai Yu did not answer Kushina's question, but asked: "In addition to strength, what do you think is needed to rebuild the Kingdom of Whirlpool?"
"Land! And money! The most important thing is that the people of the tribe should bring back the former citizens of the Country of Whirlpool." Kushina replied after thinking for a moment.
Bai Yu nodded: "Indeed, what you said is right, but the top priority is to have a stable and safe environment."
"Would it be safe for us to protect the clan?" Kushina asked. After obtaining the Nine-Tails chakra, she felt that she could do many things.
"You don't understand what I mean. Strength is of course the most important thing in the end, but you have to understand that it's not just you who are strong. We don't have the ability to be the enemy of the entire ninja world, and no one knows whether the ninja world will still be strong. There is someone stronger than you." Bai Yu shook his head.
"I just want to rebuild the country, why would I become the enemy of the ninja world?" Kushina was a little confused.
"Why do you think the Kingdom of Uzumaki is under siege? On the one hand, it is because the Uzumaki clan is a staunch ally of Konoha. Other countries want to deal with Konoha, so they choose to concentrate their forces to destroy the Uzumaki clan first.
In addition, the powerful sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan is also enviable.
But the essential reason is that the existence of the Whirlpool Kingdom touches the foundation of the rule of the great country.
In the entire ninja world, some small countries may not have ninja villages, but they must have famous names.
Only the country of Whirlpool has a powerful ninja village, but no daimyo.
The Kingdom of Whirlpool is the only country with an integrated military and political system. "
Bai Yu explained.
"Military and political integration?" Kushina didn't quite understand.
"Other countries, especially the five major countries, have a one-country-one-village system, with military and political affairs separated. The daimyo controls the economic lifeline of the country, while the Shinobi Village does not engage in production and is at most self-sufficient to a certain extent, but overall it depends on the daimyo The funds allocated to maintain operations are why Ninja Village takes task quotas so seriously.
Like Konoha's victory in the Second Ninja War this time, it seems that Konoha has gained nothing for the Fire Nation, but in fact, the Fire Nation's international status and reputation have increased.
And Konoha can obtain more funds, as well as tasks entrusted by other countries except the Fire Country. In this way, our ninjas will have the opportunity to get more tasks and get more rewards.
As for the defeated country, the daimyo will definitely cut funding, so the Ninja Village will be reduced in size in order to reduce expenses.
Generally speaking, the shadows of Daimyo and Ninja Village are equal, but Ninja Village relies on Daimyo to a considerable extent to maintain the economy from collapse. "
Bai Yu continued.
"Then what?" Kushina asked, why did Bai Yu stop talking halfway?
"Are you an idiot? You don't understand this?" Nine Tails in the sealed space cursed: "The Uzumaki clan founded the country as a ninja clan. The economy and military are integrated, and the strength is one of the best among small countries. This is for the major ninja villages. It is a good example. But for the Daimyo, the Kingdom of Whirlpool is a time bomb. If one day the leader of the Ninja Village wants to imitate the Kingdom of Whirlpool, the Daimyo will be the first to be eradicated."
"Can't you talk properly? Why do you have to curse people?" Kushina complained. She has never been interested in these winding things, and the guy Jiu Lama is often fooled by Bai Yu. , not that smart.
"I don't want to be friends with an idiot. You make me feel embarrassed." Kyuubi curled his lips.
"Hmph!" Kushina angrily blocked Kyuubi.
"Have you been ridiculed by Kyuubi again?" Bai Yu asked with a smile, and he knew it at a glance.
Kushina pouted and said angrily: "It's all your fault for making the problem so complicated!"
"I want you to think more when you encounter problems in the future." Bai Yu poked Kushina's forehead hard.
Kushina covered her forehead and asked: "Does the national system have to be the same? Just like cherry blossoms are beautiful, chrysanthemums are also very good. Why are big countries so domineering?"
"You look at things with an inclusive mind. Of course you cannot understand the thoughts of those politicians." Bai Yu shook his head and said: "Let me give you an example. If the Daimyo of the Fire Country ordered to kill me, what would you do?"
Kushina did not hesitate and said viciously: "I will twist off his head and change him to a new name."
"Domineering!" Bai Yu gave Kushina a thumbs up: "This is what the daimyo are worried about! As long as a ninja is strong enough, it is easy to kill the daimyo."
Kushina: "But as long as the Daimyo doesn't provoke me, I won't do such a thing at all."
"Just because you think like this doesn't mean that everyone thinks like this. If there is even one person out of a hundred people who thinks differently than you, the daimyo will be in danger. Because ninjas have mastered power that ordinary people can't match. This is what the daimyo is worried about. source.
Now it's because no ninja village in the ninja world has the strength to fight against the whole world. Otherwise, it will be sooner or later that the one-country-one-village system is overthrown. Only when countries maintain a relative balance can the daimyo remain at a high level and have peace of mind.
Therefore, the destruction of the Kingdom of Whirlpool is inevitable! "
Bai Yu's words made Kushina fall silent. It seems that rebuilding the Kingdom of Whirlpool is not just as simple as facing the former enemies, but may have to be the enemy of the whole world. In this case, she may not be able to do it with her current strength. No matter how confident Kushina is, she will never think that she can fight against multiple major powers at the same time.
Even if she could, her people and Bai Yu couldn't either.
"So, before the founding of the country, we can first absorb the former Uzumaki clan members in the form of an organization, and then improve their overall strength and slowly accumulate strength.
Those small countries that do not have ninja villages are the forces that I can win over. When our strength is strong enough to fight against multiple big countries at the same time, it will be the time for the Kingdom of Whirlpool to be officially rebuilt.
The more chaotic a big country is, the earlier the time for reconstruction comes. "Bai Yu continued.
"I understand. Anyway, I will listen to you and let you be the king when the time comes." Kushina nodded. As long as the Uzumaki clan can be protected first, it is not impossible to found the country later. After all, Bai Yu is so smart, she is very confidence.
"Of course you are the king. I just want a man who can be the king."
Bai Yu said with a smile.
Kushina hit Bai Yu's chest. At this time, the Nine-Tails in the sealed space suddenly warned: "Kushina, there is someone following you directly behind you. The seal is not completely sealed about two kilometers away." Dismissed, my perception is not accurate enough, you can use Kagura's heart eye to perceive it."
"Is someone following?" Kushina was startled, then stopped, closed her eyes and used Kagura's Heart Eye to sense.
Soon, a familiar and powerful chakra appeared within Kushina's range of perception.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Yu also stopped and asked.
Kushina opened her eyes again and explained: "It's the ninja who attacked us last time. His name is Kakuzu. He followed here, probably for you."
"Kakuzu? It's for the bounty again. Has the bounty ninja profession become so involved?" Bai Yu was stunned for a moment. If what Kakuzu said before is true, then he should be almost eighty years old. With his With strength, there should be a lot of savings over the years.
This kind of enthusiasm for working overtime even during the New Year is really scary.
What happened to an old man in his seventies who is so obsessed with money?
Is he working for someone else?
It's almost like capitalists will call them experts after hearing this.
"He came just in time, just in time to settle the accounts with him last time. You can't compete with me." Kushina smiled and started gearing up, looking eager to try.
It just so happened that her strength had improved rapidly recently, and she didn't dare to hit Bai Yu hard, so this "sparring partner" came at the right time.
"Do not worry."
Before Kakuzu came, Bai Yu had already started laughing.
"Are we taking the initiative to find him?" Kushina asked, her body already turning back and rushing towards the rear.
Bai Yu also chased after him.
Kakuzu didn't seem to expect that the "prey" would come to his door. When Bai Yu and Kushina appeared in his sight and rushed towards him, Kakuzu was even a little confused.
"I didn't expect you to dare to come to Tian Country. In that case, I will accept the 40 million tael head without mercy."
Kakuzu said in a deep voice.
"I've raised the price again?!" Bai Yu was stunned when he heard this. What's the price? Why is he, an ordinary medical ninja, so expensive?
At this time, Kushina, who was walking towards Kakuzu, paused and suddenly pointed at herself and asked, "What about me?"
"You?" Kakuzu glanced at Kushina and said calmly: "You don't seem to be on the list with a reward of more than 3 million taels. Judging from your appearance, you are worth at least 1 million taels, right? I'll take your head. By the way..."
"Pfft~!" An inappropriate laughter sounded.
Kakuzu and Kushina both looked at Shiroha.
Bai Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "Sorry, if I couldn't help it, I wouldn't laugh!"
"Damn it!" Kushina looked furious. She clenched her fists with both hands and violent chakra spurted out of her body, and the flame-like crimson air filled her whole body.
"I'm here to help you accumulate chakra!" When the Nine-Tails in the sealed space saw a fight, he sat up excitedly and clasped his hands together.
At this time, the seal on it is no longer as strong as before. Only the trunk part is suppressed by the King Kong seal, and the limbs can move flexibly. The main reason is Mito's defense. Even Kyuubi can understand this. After all, the only humans who are willing to truly believe in tailed beasts are Kushina and Shiroha.
Kakuzu only felt a blur in front of his eyes. Kushina came to him at an extremely exaggerated explosive speed.
Earth escape·Earth spear!
Kakuzu quickly completed the seal with both hands, and his body was instantly strengthened by the Earth Release Technique.
Seeing Kushina waving her fists to fight him head-on, Kakuzu's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. No matter how powerful the chakra was, he had to be able to use it. Such a mindless and reckless approach was not the fighting style of a ninja at all.
Thinking of this, Kakuzu punched Kushina fiercely. With his fist strengthened by Earth Release, even Orochimaru's Rashomon could be deformed. Could it be that just a...
boom--!
Kakuzu and Kushina's fists touched each other.
The whole figure seemed to have been hit by a fast-moving train, and the body was shot out like a cannonball.
The ground was plowed into a ravine of hundreds of meters.
His whole body was head down, feet up, half of his body was buried in the soil, his upper body looked like it had been completely exploded, and cracks appeared on his body.
Kakuzu pushed hard with both hands and pulled his head out of the soil. He looked miserable.
"What monster?"
Kakuzu looked at Kushina who was wrapped in the red air flow, and was a little shocked. She actually used brute force to break through the defense of his 'Earth Release and Earth Spear'. If he hadn't mastered the secret technique of 'Earth Resentment Yu', he would have He might have been killed just now.
This 41 million tael reward... is a bit tricky.
boom!
Before Kakuzu had time to think, Kushina had already rushed over.
