The ruins of the Kingdom of Whirlpool.
Driven by money and strength, the Uzumaki clan's new residence was quickly established within a few months, with a large group of wooden buildings located here.
In the very center of the clan's land, there is a building more than thirty meters high. This is the office building where the Uzumaki clan handles affairs.
In the office on the top floor, Kushina was leaning over her desk, holding a pen in her hand, with the tip of the pen pressed against the document, and she would suddenly poke it forward from time to time, with a sleepy expression.
The mini Nine-Tails ran out of the sealed space, squatted on the desk, and knocked on the desk with his forelimbs: "Hey! Kushina, can't you rest after handling such a simple matter as soon as possible? Stop touching it. It’s fish!”
Kushina suddenly woke up and said with a distressed face: "But I'm just not good at these things! If I were asked to fight, I would definitely not fish."
"Why is it so difficult for you to use your brain? How will you be the leader of the Uzumaki clan in the future? When you become a king, you will have to deal with a lot more things than this!"
Mini Kyuubi spread his hands helplessly.
Kushina said unconvinced: "Then I can just find a few more secretaries."
"You have to handle important matters by yourself, right?" Mini Nine Tails asked.
"Isn't there still Bai Yu?" Kushina was obviously a little dissatisfied.
"That brat is busy dealing with external affairs every day now. How can he have time to help you with the documents? Don't be lazy, hurry up and finish it and let's practice together!" Kyuubi said angrily: "The review can be completed in two or three hours. You've been working on the documents all afternoon!"
"Okay." Kushina pouted, like a child who was forced by her parents to do her homework.
Less than ten minutes after she reviewed the document, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Kyuubi, and said with joy on her face:
"Nine Lama, you said Bai Yu is so smart, then my and his future children will definitely be smart too, right? When the children become adults...12 years old...6 years old! Wait until they are 6 years old , I can pass the position of clan leader to him (her), and I don’t have to worry about these things every day, right?”
"You are so embarrassed to let a child do this kind of thing every day." Mini Jiuwei couldn't help complaining: "Have you ever thought that if your child is as stupid and lazy as you, will you fish together? "
Kushina: (╥﹏╥)
Mini Nine Tails: (﹁﹁)
Kushina: "Then I will give birth to one more child!"
Mini Kyuubi: "One is as stupid as you, and the other is as violent as you."
Kushina: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! No, I will give birth to three! Four!"
Mini Kyuubi: "In order to be lazy, you worked hard... It takes 10 months for humans to conceive a child. If you don't give birth to twins directly, you won't be able to fight for at least three or four years. Even Practice will also be affected.”
Kushina: "..."
Mini Nine Tails said: "Be honest and patient and study. If the White Feather brat is like you, then you will be very busy. He has to interact with people who you can't get along with outside every day, and he is much busier than you. .
Now that the Uzumaki clan has just been established, they must not only consider the surrounding situation, but also earn more funds. Your money cannot support the reconstruction of the country of Uzumaki.
Although we are very strong now, we will have no problem facing any of the five major countries.
But when the survivors of the Whirlpool Kingdom begin to return, there will be more ordinary people, and there will be more aspects to consider.
In many cases, violence cannot be used to solve problems unscrupulously.
And even Uchiha Madara is still alive, who knows if there are more powerful ninjas hiding in the ninja world.
We are in the light, others are in the dark, so caution is necessary. "
Kushina looked at the mini Kyuubi in confusion: "Kuro Lama, I feel that you are becoming more and more like Bai Yu."
"Hmph!" Mini Nine Tails snorted softly: "That brat is not here, of course I have to supervise you to prevent you from being lazy."
"Damn it!" Kushina grabbed the mini-Kyuubi Destiny by the back of the neck, pulled it into her arms, ravaged it, and said fiercely: "Who are you on the same side with, you traitor!"
Kyuubi: (?_?)
Kushina: "What's that expression of yours?!"
Squeak~
The office door was pushed open and Bai Yu walked in.
When he saw the scene inside, Bai Yu was stunned and said with a smile: "It seems that you got along very well when I was away."
"White Feather!" Kushina threw the mini Nine Tails on the table, quickly ran to Bai Yu, hugged Bai Yu's neck like a koala, and hung it on his body.
"It's so tiring to process documents!" Kushina said coquettishly.
At this time, Kyuubi nodded towards the documents on the table.
Bai Yu hugged Kushina and walked towards the desk.
I saw that there were more than a dozen vertical lines on the opened file, each one was very short, and the trace looked like it was drawn from bottom to top.
Bai Yu secretly laughed in his heart, but the expression on his face was pretending to be serious: "Nine Lamas are so outrageous! They don't even know how to help you handle the documents!"
Mini Kyuubi: "?"
Kushina: "That's right, it just said that our future children must be idiots!"
Mini Kyuubi: "???"
Bai Yu: "You don't help but you still say sarcastic words! That's too much!"
"I can't stand you anymore!" Mini Nine-Tails couldn't help but rolled his eyes and returned to the sealed space when he heard Bai Yu's coaxing tone and Kushina's coquettish look.
Bai Yu sat on his seat.
Only then did Kushina notice the "annotation" she left on the document. She couldn't help but blush, and closed the document. She came behind Bai Yu and gently squeezed his shoulders: "What happened this time?" Are you ready?"
Bai Yu leaned on the backrest of the seat, enjoying Kushina's massage, and briefly described what happened to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and Matt Dai.
"Does the Eight Gate Dunjia actually have such power?!" Kushina said in shock.
"It indeed exceeded my expectations. According to Senior Dai, he has only cultivated to the eighth gate of death in recent years, but has never used it once. Based on the chakra increase when he opened the seventh gate, if he opened the eighth gate If you do it, the instantaneous explosive power may surpass you. I have to say that this is a genius-like creativity to create such a ninjutsu!"
Bai Yu sighed.
"Is the Eight Door Dunjia suitable for me to learn?" Kushina asked. She knew that except for her strength, she was inferior to Bai Yu in everything, so she could only magnify her original advantages.
Now that Bai Yu's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, the originally huge gap in strength with her has narrowed a lot, which makes Kushina feel a sense of urgency in her heart.
So when she learned that the Eight-door Dunjia could increase her strength to such a terrifying level, even surpassing the explosive ability of the "Red Dragon Armor", she was a little tempted and wanted to further increase her explosive strength by learning the Eight-door Dunjia.
"Learning Eight Door Dunjia requires extreme physical training in order to break through the limitations of the 'door' in the body. Theoretically, people with better physical fitness will have greater gains after breaking through, but by the same token, it is difficult for such people to break through the limit. .
Senior Dai has taught me the complete Eight Door Dunjia. Perhaps I can deduce the "Red Dragon Tribulation" to a higher level based on the Eight Doors Dunjia. "
Bai Yu shook his head.
"The final winner of this ninja war should still be Konoha, but the scale of this ninja war far exceeds the previous two. The five major ninja villages have consumed a lot of manpower and material resources in this war. They want to recover The vitality will take at least seven to ten years.
Now you only need to slowly master the power of the Nine Lamas step by step. The ninja world should soon enter a relatively stable period of development, and there should be no chance for you to participate in battles again.
And I will not let other villages recover so easily and start the Fourth Ninja War again.
I'll leave it to you to unite internally, and as for handling external relations, I'm here! "
"Well, I understand, I listen to you." Kushina nodded heavily, and with Bai Yu's explanation, her mind was settled.
"The first priority now is to eliminate external threats. Kumogakure has established diplomatic relations with us, and they have also apologized for kidnapping you and made financial compensation.
Although it is impossible to forgive them just like that, in order to stabilize the situation for the time being, this account will be recorded first.
The village that has the greatest hatred against the Uzumaki clan is Kirigakure. This time I killed two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. It is inevitable that I will be hostile to Kirigakure in the future.
But they are currently at war with Konoha, and they don't dare to provoke us until the winner is decided.
Ignore it for now, wait until I have my hands free, and then deal with Kirigakure Village.
The external situation is relatively stable, so the most important thing for us now is to solve economic problems.
The amount of money required to rebuild the Kingdom of Whirlpool is an astronomical figure. "
Bai Yu said.
"I have tried my best to divert funds from the Uzumaki clan's industry, but I still can't fill the funding gap." Kushina was a little helpless. She never thought that one day she would be short of money.
"Don't withdraw funds from the industry for the time being. This money is a steady stream and is constantly available. If you withdraw too much funds, it will not be conducive to the development of the industry." Bai Yu waved his hand and said: "What we want to do now is open source. Find ways to develop more industries and make more money.”
"The Kingdom of Whirlpool is now in dire straits. There are still many survivors of the Kingdom of Whirlpool who have not returned, and those who have returned are basically ordinary people without ninja qualifications. It may be difficult to develop industries." Kushina frowned slightly. .
"No!" Bai Yu said with a determined expression: "Many industries need the largest number of ordinary people! If we want to make money, we rely on the broad masses of the people.
The five major ninja villages have the largest number of ninjas in the world, but the total number of active ninjas will never exceed 100,000.
Even if you include the ninjas who have changed jobs and retired, there are only 200,000 ninjas in the entire ninja world.
But how many ordinary people are there? Konoha Village alone has hundreds of thousands of villagers.
Ninjas have the highest salary in the ninja world, which is considered a high-paying profession.
It’s just that when it comes to making money, it depends on ability and the people! "
"Then we want to develop business?" Kushina asked. The best way out for ordinary people is to enter politics or do business. Now the only way to go in the country of whirlpool is to do business.
"That's right!" Bai Yu nodded: "On the one hand, we need to give ordinary people who don't have ninja talent a good education and give them a way to rise.
Talents are needed in many aspects such as scientific research, medical care, education, services, and manufacturing.
We only need to provide a basic framework and a stable internal and external environment.
If the people below receive a good education, they will definitely be able to exert their 200% enthusiasm.
You know, the citizens of many countries are still struggling to have enough food and clothing, and may fall into a war crisis at any time.
Some Uzumaki clan members have been wandering outside for many years. Although the Uzumaki clan has been re-established, it is not very attractive to some Uzumaki clan members whose lives are relatively stable.
No one knows whether the Whirlpool Kingdom will be besieged again.
On the other hand, you have proved with facts that people from the Uzumaki clan are very good candidates as jinchuriki.
Therefore, if some Uzumaki clan members with ninja talents are found by other great ninja villages, they may not be willing to let them go.
Our current situation is that we can protect ourselves, but if we want to take the initiative to attack other villages, we must also take into account the safety of the people below. "
"I will work hard." Kushina said determinedly: "I promise never to be lazy again!"
"Taking advantage of the current war in the ninja world, we must develop our economy and technology. As for ninja education, it is not a top priority. We only need to build a ninja school to educate people with ninja talents.
We don't need brainwashing education like Konoha's "Will of Fire". We want to make the country strong and the people rich. When everyone is proud of being a citizen of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, there will naturally be an extremely powerful cohesion. "
Bai Yu explained.
"In the Snow Kingdom, the heavy industry related to chakra armor will continue to be developed, and there will also be various new weapons, so that in the future ordinary people may also have power comparable to ninjas.
The other is the Kingdom of Ghosts, where Maitreya has good relations with the great names of the Kingdom of Birds, the Kingdom of Bears, and the Kingdom of Frost.
These small countries are bordering each other. If they can unite and we provide strong military force as a guarantee, they can develop quickly.
The technology industry is developed in the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and there are currently two industries that can earn a lot of money. One is the production of medical scrolls, and the other is pharmaceutical research and development.
Maitreya possesses the power of a witch and has certain research on medical treatment. At the same time, the Kingdom of Ghosts itself has a medical industry, so these two industries can be placed in the Kingdom of Ghosts, with the Kingdom of Ghosts as the core and radiating to surrounding countries.
Sunagakure Village suffered heavy losses in this ninja war and its strength was greatly reduced.
So we only need to be careful of Iwagakure Village in the northern part of Oni Country. "
Kushina nodded: "It's just that the medical scroll is now a strategic resource of Konoha, and many of the potions you have researched are extremely effective, will this cause other countries to covet you?
Perhaps just like the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique, it was feared by various countries and eventually led to siege. "
"The fact that you can think of this means that you have also grown up." Bai Yu said with a smile: "I have already considered these. I invented the medical scroll, so I naturally have the right to sell it. Konoha has no right to criticize. In the end The key is that after this war, Konoha suffered the greatest loss. They will only try to find ways to have a good relationship with us, instead of turning against us because of the medical scroll business.
At least until they regain their strength, that's definitely the case.
Therefore, we can sell medical scrolls to various countries. Military strategic resources have always been the most profitable.
As for potions, the potions I give you are all extremely precious.
If I want to sell "Vitality Potion" and "Dark Blue Potion", I will only sell them in diluted form.
Finally, there is the business of ninjutsu scrolls..."
"Ninjutsu scroll?" Kushina was stunned: "Did you even invent a ninjutsu scroll?"
Regarding the idea of ninjutsu scrolls, Konoha also studied it in the past few years, but it ended in failure after wasting a lot of manpower and material resources.
However, Kushina has always had full confidence in Bai Yu, so she thought of it immediately.
"Not yet, but one person gave me inspiration. If I continue to research, I will be able to develop a ninjutsu scroll sooner or later. However, this thing has a great impact on the ninja profession, and I am afraid it cannot be mass-produced in a short time. You continue to sit here I will take care of matters within the clan and outside."
Bai Yu replied that his inspiration naturally came from Xie's puppetry.
Scorpion made himself into a human puppet. In this state, he can use the fire scroll to spray flames with powerful melting power and temperature from the pipe in his palm.
However, this kind of fire scroll still requires the ninja to use its own chakra to control it. Strictly speaking, it is not a true ninjutsu scroll.
For example, the flames sealed in the Fire Scroll are comparable to the Fire Release released by Jonin and Kage-level ninjas, but the chakra of ordinary Genin and Chuunin cannot exert the true power of the Fire Scroll.
Moreover, this kind of fire scroll is used with the puppet technique and is not suitable for ordinary ninjas to control.
"Then you won't be back for a long time." Kushina pouted.
Bai Yu shook his head: "Of course not. Except for necessary things that must be done by me, there are many things that I don't need to do by myself, and I have to practice with you! How can I stay outside all day long?"
If Bai Yu concentrates on studying ninjutsu scrolls, he will be able to study them sooner or later, but this is putting the cart before the horse. The most important thing now is to strengthen himself, and other things will happen incidentally.
It's just that the normal practice speed is a bit slow. After becoming a first-level warlock, the second level of meditation of the advanced warlock meditation method is far more effective than the first level. Bai Yu's mental power has reached 40 points in about a year after his promotion. .
It's just that his mental power cannot continue to grow in the future, because it needs to be compressed, improve the overall quality, and transform the mental power from an invisible state to a gaseous state.
Compared with normal warlock practice, this process is not long, and can even be said to be extremely short, taking about a year.
But considering Bai Yu's entire cultivation career, one year is a long time.
After vaporization, the mental power continues to grow, and then begins the liquefaction stage, followed by crystallization, and then begins to break through to the second level.
Bai Yu is 22 years old this year. According to this progress, he will probably be able to break through the second level when he is around 30 years old. After all, his bloodline is pure enough and he only needs mental power to complete the three stages of transformation. It is basically not difficult for him to break through the second level.
It's just that it's very difficult to advance to the third level and the fourth level, but with his lifespan, he can prepare slowly.
The short-term goal is to stabilize the situation and allow the Kingdom of Vortex to rise again. The long-term plan is to gather the power of emotions and refine the rules.
In this way, one can 100% break through the shackles of blood.
Under normal circumstances, the time spent in the formal wizard (warlock) stage from level one to level two is definitely much longer than the time it takes from first-class apprentice to level one.
Otherwise, many wizards would not have died of old age, transformed themselves into neither humans nor ghosts, and would not have completed their promotions.
...
Konoha Village.
After Konoha defeated Kumogakure and Sunagakure one after another, Kirigakure gradually showed its decline in the war.
The Hyuga and Uchiha clans put aside their past feud and worked together to fight several heroes.
Hideto Hyuga, Chiho Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, Sohito Uchiha and others were active on the Kirigakure battlefield and made quite a name for themselves.
If Hinata Tengen, the old leader of the Hyuga clan, hadn't died in the battle and his body was taken away by Kirigakure, this battle would have been perfect.
The Hyuga clan was furious at the death of Hinata Tengen and sent more Jonin to the Kirigakure battlefield in an attempt to fight Konoha.
The jounin of the branch family who were responsible for protecting Hyuga Tengen were all punished by the clan, including Hideto who performed bravely in battle.
At this time, the other side.
In the southeast corner of Konoha, there is a slightly old bungalow building.
In the yard, a dozen children were playing and playing.
Among them was a boy who looked to be about six or seven years old. He was holding a baby in his arms and stood quietly watching the other children playing.
He has rare short silver hair, delicate features, and wears thick round-rimmed glasses that seem a bit too big and slip down from the bridge of his nose from time to time.
It can be seen that the boy cherishes this pair of glasses. Every time the glasses slip off, he carefully straightens them.
At this time, another black-haired boy ran over and said, "Kabuto! Let's play together?"
"No, Urusi, you can play, I have to help the dean take care of Tamako." Kabuto Yakushi said softly, indicating to Urusi to keep his voice down so as not to wake up Tamako who had just fallen asleep.
"You guys are obviously younger than me, but you always act like an older brother." Wu Luxi complained with a smile. Among the children in the orphanage, he was the oldest, but the one who felt most like an elder brother was Kabuto. He was never noisy or playful, and always helped the dean take care of his other brothers and sisters.
"ah!"
The children who were playing suddenly let out a cry of fear, and Urushi and Kabuto Yakushi turned to look.
I saw three strangers walking into the courtyard. All three of them were wearing black robes, covering their faces.
The leader lifted his hat, revealing a slightly gloomy face, with his right eye still wrapped in a bandage. The old man exuded a cold aura that kept strangers away. The children were immediately frightened and hid behind Ulusi and the pharmacist. Behind Kabuto.
Ulusi considered himself the eldest brother among the children, and bravely stepped forward and said: "You...who are you? What are you doing here?!"
At this time, a person behind the old man lifted his hat. He had long black shawl hair, slightly pale skin, a thin face, narrow eyes, black eyeliner and purple eyeshadow, weird golden vertical pupils, and ears. Wearing blue magatama-shaped earrings.
Looking at the timid Urushi and the calm-looking Yakushi Kabuto beside him, Orochimaru smiled slightly and said in a gentle and hoarse voice: "We are looking for your Dean Nonou."
"Looking for the dean?!" Wu Luxi, as if he was receiving an amnesty, quickly ran towards the room behind him, shouting as he ran: "Dean, someone is looking for you."
"Someone is looking for me?" After a while, pharmacist Nonoyu's confused voice came from the room. She took off her apron as she walked and wiped the water stains on her hands with her apron.
Originally, due to financial constraints, the children had not eaten meat for a long time, but after receiving Bai Yu's donation, the economic situation improved.
However, during this period, several more orphans were added to the orphanage, including two babies. Nonoyu was also extremely busy and had to hire a caregiver.
In order to save money, she could only learn to cook by herself and try to make the meals as delicious as possible.
After all, if these children do not have ninja talent, they will not be able to have a certain degree of independence until they are at least 12 years old. During this period, there will be a lot of money to spend!
Fortunately, she is a medical ninja herself, otherwise the children would be sick and it would be a huge expense.
Nonoyu also had some savings before, but when she became the director of the welfare home, she realized that taking care of children actually cost so much money.
"Who is here? Why didn't you invite them to come in and sit down..." The moment Nonoyu walked out of the room and saw the three people standing in the yard, the smile on his face froze for an instant, and then in front of him With a smile, the three of them were invited into the room to talk.
Yakushi Kabuto noticed the change in Nonou's expression, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. After hesitating again and again, he handed the jade in his hand to Urusi and said, "Urusi, please take care of the jade."
"Oh...Okay." Wu Luxi took Yuzi and was a little dazed. After all, three terrible people came to the orphanage.
Kabuto walked into the room and quietly came to the outside of the dean's office. He put his ear up and soon heard the dean's angry voice coming from inside.
"I've grown out of my roots and don't want to be a spy anymore!"
"The walking witch no longer wants to carry out espionage missions. It is a loss to the village. Your talents should be used in this area. After all, disguise and deception are your strengths, aren't they?"
"If you complete this mission, the root cause will not look for you again in the future. If you refuse, the funding for the welfare home may be stopped in the future."
"What?! How can you do this?"
"The village suffered heavy casualties during the war, and there are still many places where money needs to be spent. Many of the orphans you adopted are from other villages. The village does not have extra money to support idle people. You should think about it yourself."
"I...if I complete this task, will the roots really stop looking for me?" Yao Shi Noonoyu said with a tangled expression. The money given by Bai Yu can still support it for a while, but if the village stops funding, That is definitely not enough to raise the children. She was too embarrassed to go to Bai Yu to ask for money again. After all, it was a matter of love for others to help, so how could she take advantage of it. Even if it was borrowed, what could she give back to Bai Yu.
"Of course." Danzo said solemnly: "This is your last mission."
"Okay! I promise you!" Nonoyu gritted his teeth and said firmly. Since he can't refuse, he should be decisive.
"I am willing to be with the dean!" At this time, Kabuto Yakushi suddenly opened the door and entered the office.
"Kabuto?!" Nonoyu looked shocked. Because she was suddenly called by Danzo, she was so confused that she didn't realize that Kabuto was eavesdropping. However, it was impossible for the other three people to not notice Kabuto and notice Danzo's expression. After that, Nonoyu's heart gradually sank.
"As long as you don't stop funding for the welfare home, I'm willing to do anything!" Kabuto had a determined look on his young face.
"You are very courageous." Danzo glanced at Kabuto and said calmly: "In that case, you will join the root and prove your worth."
"Kabuto." Nonoyu looked a little flustered and said hurriedly: "I can continue to help the root perform tasks, but you can't take Kabuto away!"
Kabuto: "Dean, let me help you! This is my own choice!"
"In that case, come with us." Danzo stood up.
Orochimaru on the side looked at Kabuto with interest. This child gave him a special feeling, just like when he saw Bai Yu. He might have special talents.
When the four of them walked into the yard, Kabuto Yakushi said goodbye to his younger siblings with a reluctant expression.
When Urushi learned that Kabuto left voluntarily, he immediately shouted: "Kabuto! Do you want to give up the bond with us? Come back quickly! Funds and other things, we will be able to work and make money soon, we don't need you. People bear it!”
Kabuto turned his head, looked at Ulusi, smiled slightly, waved and said: "Ulusi, goodbye, I have always regarded you as my brother, and I hope you will take good care of your younger brothers and sisters in the future."
"Kabuto!" Urushi shouted and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Nonoyu.
Ulusi: "Dean?"
No Naiyu's eyes were slightly red and he shook his head silently.
In Konoha, not many people can disobey Danzo's will.
...
Half a month later.
late at night.
Welfare home.
In the room, before setting off to Yanyin Village, Nonoyu looked at the white feather scroll in his hand, hesitated again and again, and opened the scroll.
This is the psychic scroll she got from Tsunade, which allows her to contact Shiroha.
Although he joined Genbu halfway, Nonoyu has already deeply understood Genbu's cold and ruthless system and its inhumane training methods.
Danzo didn't have much credibility with her.
For the sake of Kabuto, she decided to ask Bai Yu for help, even if it meant repaying her kindness with her life.
Bang!
After the scroll was opened, a small white snake as big as a palm appeared in Nonoyu's palm.
"It's a woman again?!" Little White Snake uttered words, and said angrily: "Tell me, what are you doing with Bai Yu?"
