"By the way, teacher..."
After Uchiha Shisui completed his daily practice, he suddenly asked Uchiha Tokumitsu with some trepidation: "There is a question I don't know whether I should ask...'
Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at this young man, "You're still asking if I shouldn't be asking?"
But he still said generously: "Just tell me."
"Since the rule of the pseudo-third generation was an oppression of all tribes in Konoha, why can it last so long?"
Uchiha Shisui asked with some anxiety: "Didn't any other ninjas besides the family try to resist him during that time?"
"Because Senju wasn't dead at first."
Uchiha Tokumitsu rubbed his disciple's hair and said leisurely: "Besides, Sarutobi Shimura, plus Ino Shikacho, plus the power of other vassals, can indeed maintain the situation of the village."
"In addition to the family, Hinata's side..."
"The Hyuga clan is no more than the withered bones in the grave..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu laughed dumbly: "The internal conflicts caused by the family division system are enough to drag the entire attention of the Hyuga clan into the family's camp."
"What's more, if the Hyuga clan's power is internal, it is even more effective than the Hokage's edict. In this case, the clan only needs to suppress those geniuses who are neither obedient nor willing to die. How can I still have time to worry about other things.”
"What's more, the village doesn't leave Hinata a way to survive, does it~"
"oh……"
Uchiha Shisui nodded in understanding.
"Let's go back……"
Uchiha Tokumitsu waved to Uchiha Makoto who was waiting on the side of the training ground, and then ordered the attendant ninja to level the ground.
The smiling Uchiha Makoto came over, took Uchiha Tokimitsu's hand, and wiped his fiancé's forehead with a scented handkerchief.
Although there are no beads of sweat or dust, this is Uchiha Makoto's thoughts after all.
Uchiha Tokumitsu kissed Makoto lightly on the forehead to express his gratitude.
“…The essence of rule is actually transaction.”
On the way back, Uchiha Tokumitsu continued.
"trade?!"
Uchiha Shisui was shocked and felt that his understanding of divine authority had been subverted.
"Yes, it is a long-lasting and invisible transaction."
Uchiha Tokko nodded: "The reason why people hold rulers high is because they hope these strong men can keep them in their hearts."
"Hold it high and keep it in your heart..."
Uchiha Shisui silently memorized the key words in the teacher's words.
"But we are different..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu changed the subject: "We are powerful and reasonable, so the Uchiha clan can become the ruler."
Uchiha Shisui felt that the teacher's words were somewhat contradictory, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Uchiha Tokumitsu ruffled his disciple's hair again and did not continue talking. Instead, he turned his head and showed off his affection to Uchiha Makoto.
He didn't intend to talk too much to Uchiha Shisui. After all, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. As long as he throws Shisui to the United Company and sees how the mortals under the rule of the nobles live, he will understand Uchiha. Why was the Bo clan able to establish hegemony across all countries?
Because although the Uchiha clan is neither close to the people nor down-to-earth, the Uchiha ninjas do not "disrespect the people" after all; mortals under the shogunate only need to pay a tax, and the sales of the joint company are also clearly marked, so mortals At least I can take a breath and start my own small business to accumulate some wealth - in comparison, those nobles who extort excessive taxes are really not human beings!
It was this combination of authority and monopoly that seemed like child's play, but it unexpectedly burst out with great power, supporting the shogunate's expeditions to the east and west, defeating many major powers in succession and maintaining a large number of standing ninja armies.
Of course, in the final analysis, it was because the ruling methods of the daimyo nobles were too backward, and they could not even understand the relationship between production and tax collection.
…
"You're lying to me!"
The old woman in the form of the White Snake Immortal had a gloomy face and controlled ten stone dragons to surround Asura.
Tian Xin Shenji's face was also very ugly, and the murderous intention in her heart almost overflowed.
"Grandmaster White Snake, I have never deceived anyone. My way of ninja is to understand each other, so how could I lie to others~"
Although Asura seemed to be in danger, he still looked calm and calm and said leisurely: "As for Tian Xinji's misjudgment, I am also sorry~"
Tian Xin Shenji's face turned darker when she heard this.
It misjudged!
Asura was not that strong at all at the entrance to Ryūchi Cave!
It's just that his level of sealing techniques and chakra control exceeded his own, and he suddenly frightened himself! If he had just used magic to fight from the beginning, he would have been able to test out the depth of Asura in no time, and there would be no way he would be frightened like that!
The White Snake Immortal could tell at a glance that Asura was not as powerful as he was in ancient times in terms of power. In fact, his real power was only on par with him!
"Are you Jiraiya or Asura!"
Immortal White Snake did not take action immediately, but asked sadly.
"I borrowed Jiraiya's remains, but the soul is still Asura..."
Asura nodded his head, "The reason why I took this unconventional method to reincarnate is because this is my father's order."
"Six Paths Immortal..."
The White Snake Immortal read out this name that made him fearful.
"I need the power of Ryūchi Cave, and I am willing to accept the curse seal given by the White Snake Patriarch just like Jiraiya."
Ashura looked like he was very talkative and spoke out his conditions and requirements without any secret: "But I hope that Ryūchidong can continue to send out ninja snakes and contribute to the cause of upholding the orthodoxy of the ninja world."
"How dare you show off your scaring tricks in front of the descendants of Indra!"
Tian Xinji, who was frightened, ignored the presence of the White Snake Immortal, bared her teeth and shouted: "With your little power, it is not much stronger than Jiraiya who combines the power of the two holy places. How dare you Get involved in the affairs of the ninja world!"
"Shen Ji is right. After all, I have just been reincarnated and my strength is still insufficient..."
Asura said sincerely: "So, I need the power of Ryūchi Cave, and I also hope that the White Snake Patriarch will put aside his prejudices and do what should be done for the ninja world."
"So...killing two goddesses in the Longdi Cave battle isn't enough, is it?"
The White Snake Immortal couldn't help his anger. If it hadn't been afraid of the immortal Six Paths Immortal who was still alive, it would have killed this reckless Asura on the spot.
"In the final analysis, you and Indra are actually the same kind of people! You are both counting on the death of our alien tribe, right?"
"My brother and I are different..."
Asura's attitude is still very kind: "I don't want to use too much power to coerce others, so..."
"I hope Grandmaster White Snake will not overestimate his capabilities!"
"Be bold!"
Immortal White Snake suddenly became furious.
Although the White Snake Immortal, who claims to have figured out the power of Asura, does not intend to kill Asura on the spot, he still feels that it is necessary to give this "junior" some punishment!
Ten stone dragons immediately formed a group, completely blocking Asura from all sides, and then twisted their bodies and squeezed towards the middle.
"Immortal Technique·Ten Dragons Seal!"
Although the Ryujidong lineage did not obtain the secret of the Samsara Eye, the scene where the Six Paths Immortal sealed the goddess of Mao was also seen by the White Snake Immortal, so he created this magic technique with reference to the Earth Explosion Star technique.
"boom!"
Asura did not dodge or dodge, he even opened his hands and allowed ten stone dragons to form a cage barrier to completely trap him.
Immortal White Snake frowned instead.
The stone dragon turned into a ball of stone floating in the air, but according to the perception of Immortal White Snake, there was nothing in the ball.
Asura disappeared!
"Come out……"
The White Snake Immortal sniffed and then said to the lighthouse on the top of the temple.
"You are truly worthy of being the Patriarch of White Snake..."
The smiling Asura slowly walked out of the firelight.
Tian Xin Shenji is numb again!
At this time, it can no longer tell whether Asura is strong or weak!
"Your method...should be the Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Immortal White Snake snorted coldly, but there was no murderous intent in his voice, "When did you leave your mark on my temple?"
"When I first came in, I took a second look and accidentally left a trace, which made Patriarch White Snake laugh."
Asura bowed politely to the White Snake Immortal.
"This is a technique invented by Konoha's second generation Senju Tobirama..."
The face of Immortal White Snake gradually turned from cloudy to clear.
"Just because my reincarnation can't learn a technique doesn't mean I can't learn it."
Asura smiled modestly: "In addition to the techniques of the Senju clan, I also have all the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan under my control!"
"So...did you use your descendant's ninjutsu to break the seal of Ryūchi Cave?"
The White Snake Immortal showed a rare smile.
"Yes, before reincarnation, my father gave me all the techniques of the Senju and Uzumaki masters of the past generations in the Pure Land."
Ashura said frankly.
The world of the dead is divided into the Pure Land and the Underworld, and the creator and controller of the Pure Land are the immortal Six Paths...
Although there was a smile on his face, Immortal White Snake was already cursing in his heart.
But it’s really a defensive weapon...
"What's the price?"
The White Snake Immortal asked gently.
"What price?"
Asura frowned in surprise.
"What price are you going to pay in exchange for Longdi Cave sending Ninja Snakes?"
The White Snake Immortal waved Tian Xin Shenji to retreat, and he began to puff away the clouds.
"The territory of the Kingdom of Whirlpool can be handed over to the Ryūchi Cave lineage as a reward for the White Snake Immortal to send the Ninja Snakes to participate in the war."
Asura thought for a moment and made a condition: "From now on, the Longdi Cave lineage can obtain the water and soil under the sun..."
"From now on, the agreement between Father and the White Snake Patriarch will be abolished."
The Longdi Cave lineage was not willing to hide under Jiuyou. The fundamental reason was the coercion of the Six Paths Immortal. In addition, the killings caused by Indra during his campaign against monsters frightened them, so they had to hide their nests in Qingku. And it’s just a barren underground world.
"I want to re-erect the statue and accept incense offerings!"
Immortal White Snake also set out his own conditions.
"But only within the Kingdom of Whirlpool."
Asura made a patch.
The so-called offering of incense may sound like nothing, but in fact it requires mortals to perform "human sacrifices"!
And the sacrifices must be boys and girls!
But in order to unite too many forces to "rectify the chaos", Asura had to "sacrifice" a small number of people.
It is worthwhile to exchange the suffering of a small number of people for the happiness of the majority of people, and at the worst possible time, all the people in the Kingdom of Whirlpool will be removed...
Asura thought so.
"Since it is the Kingdom of Uzumaki as my territory, then I need the Uzumaki clan as my serving family!"
Immortal White Snake pushed further and made another condition: "I think...since your descendants have surrendered to Indra's descendants, let them atone for their sins by serving!"
"But Ryuji Cave must hand over 30,000 ninja snakes!"
Asura agreed to the conditions of the White Snake Immortal from the side.
"Twenty thousand at most! Otherwise there is no need to discuss it!"
The White Snake Immortal said decisively.
"Then 20,000 ninja snakes."
After saying that, Asura immediately turned into a ball of smoke and disappeared without a trace.
"this……"
The White Snake Immortal was a little dazed.
Have you given too much?
It even doubts itself.
…
"call!"
After returning to Miaomu Mountain through reverse channeling, Asura immediately collapsed to the ground, his lips turned white and his face turned black.
Fukasaku Sennin quickly came over and fed the antidote he had prepared into his mouth, and wiped his body with toad oil.
"……fine."
After a while, Asura stood up unsteadily and said to the concerned Fukasaku Sage: "Fortunately, I finally convinced the White Snake Sage..."
"That's good……"
Fukasaku Sennin also breathed a sigh of relief.
With the ninja snakes from Ryūchi Cave as cannon fodder, Miaomushan wouldn't have to lose too many ninja frogs.
What's more, they still have such a close relationship with the contemporary Asuras. Compared with how they put down the Uchiha Rebellion, the Myoboku Mountain lineage can be even better.
"Fortunately, Ryuji Cave has been tricked, and the White Snake Immortal is willing to hand over 20,000 ninja snakes."
Asura walked toward the palace of the Great Immortal Toad with a somewhat frivolous pace: "Speaking of which, the Great Immortal's strategy is unparalleled."
…
Asura is not that strong, nor does he master all the techniques invented by his descendants.
But after all, he is a direct blood descendant of the Six Paths Immortal who makes the White Snake Immortal fearful.
The blood bonus and the bluff were enough to make the White Snake Immortal believe it.
All of this is just a scam planned by Asura and the Great Toad Immortal.
The reason why he was in a hurry to return to Miaomu Mountain was because the poisonous gas emitted by the White Snake Sage's breath made him unable to hold on any longer. If he spoke a few more words, he would probably foam at the mouth and fall to the ground.
And once the secret is revealed, I am afraid that the desire to devour the White Snake Immortal will overwhelm the fear of the Six Paths Immortal, and he will swallow himself whole without hesitation, so Asura has to evacuate Ryūchi Cave immediately.
But fortunately, the language rhythm was quite well controlled during the communication process, and everything that needed to be said was basically said, so there was no need to worry about White Snake Immortal going back on his word. And he is not in a hurry to start a war with the descendants of Indra right away. He still has time to continue to improve his strength.
Although it is a pity to sacrifice one's own descendants, who made them deviate from tradition?
Besides, with his own care, living under the White Snake Immortal should be an acceptable outcome, right?
