It was very smooth to get the five experimental assistants to follow their own ideas. In fact, they were given very few choices. However, no matter what thoughts these people had, Shiraishi was not very interested in their psychological activities.
These people's bodies have been transformed by natural energy. In theory, they can be called 'superhumans'. Their natural lifespan and even the degree of delayed aging will be much stronger than that of ordinary people.
In simpler terms, even if they reach the age of sixty, as long as they pay more attention to maintenance issues, their physical fitness will not decline much and they can continue to work.
The current age of these five people is all young people in their twenties, and they will have more than thirty years to provide him with work services.
This is just the first batch, and more people will join in the future.
I have to say that natural energy is really a good thing.
Although it is not comparable to Chakra in terms of versatility, the increase in physical fitness has completely surpassed Chakra.
It is possible to mass-produce taijutsu-type ninjas on a large scale, and it is not difficult for these taijutsu-type ninjas to reach the chunin level after several years of systematic study.
At most, the fighting style will be relatively simple, and compared with the standard chunin, it will appear to be somewhat disadvantaged.
Because most chunin cannot only be proficient in Taijutsu, but also know other Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, and can carry out diversified tactical cooperation.
But this is enough.
The use of natural energy lies in its universality, and even ordinary people can transform it.
Shiraishi believes that this is where natural energy is truly terrifying.
The reason why ninjas are strong is because chakra does not have the universality to make most people stronger.
Only a very small number of people benefit the most.
Natural energy is different. He can make the lower limit of human beings very high. Due to the lack of useful intelligence comparison, Shiraishi cannot say that the upper limit of natural energy is higher than the upper limit of chakra.
On average, chakra is inferior to natural energy.
Now that he has decided to make good use of the power of these five people, Shiraishi will naturally not be stingy with them.
Taijutsu training methods and chakra refining methods, including some simple ninjutsu, will be taught to them.
Shiraishi is not worried about what problems they will expose.
The natural energy precipitated in their bodies was not obtained through formal cultivation methods, but was directly injected into their bodies in the form of reagents, greatly improving their overall physical quality.
In other words, the five of them have a foundation suitable for training physical skills, but they are unable to refine natural energy on their own.
Because Shiraishi had no intention from the beginning to leave this kind of thing to his subordinates for use.
Maybe they will in the future, but at this stage, these five people are not enough for Shiraishi to trust.
For this reason, even if you let them leave after a month, you still have to leave some special marks on them.
After that, Shiraishi ended the work in the laboratory hastily, trusting the five people to serve as working tools here, and returned to the ground to rest in his room.
◎
the next day.
Shiraishi came to Liuli's room and discussed with her about the five people.
"Establish an organization?"
Liuli looked at Shiraishi with doubtful eyes.
Seeing Liuli's doubts, Shiraishi gave a very good reason. He said: "Yes. I think this is a plan that must be implemented. Because as my research becomes more and more extensive, especially the fairy magic experiment, It is very likely that some uncontrollable accidents will happen. You should know how powerful the magic of magic is."
Liuli nodded seriously.
She has personally experienced that feeling. With the solidity of the underground laboratory, although it can prevent some energy impacts, if it goes wild when it encounters too strong a force, it may still cause some trouble and attract attention.
"That's what I think. We can set up an organization outside. If necessary, we can conduct experiments outside. After all, making too much noise in the village can easily attract the attention of some people."
"Is this the only reason?"
"Also, the current relationship between you Uchiha and a certain high-level person in the village is not good. Although the Hokage promised that no more accidents will happen, you shouldn't believe this, right?"
Hearing Shiraishi's question, the sneer on Liuli's face also proved this.
She didn't believe the Hokage's words at all.
Originally, there were some changes in the view of the Hokage family before, but now it seems that some Uchiha people are just too naive.
Pride and complacency in power, disdain for conspirators.
Konoha is not the Konoha it was before, and Uchiha is not the Uchiha it was before.
The reason why Uchiha is powerful now is because of the blood inheritance limit of Sharingan, not people.
For this reason, this time the Hokage gave another opportunity to view the Sealed Book, Liuli did not obey them at all and went to view the Sealed Book again.
Although Shiraishi felt a pity when he heard that Ruri had made this decision, if he had advised Ruri not to be so impulsive and agree to the Hokage's conditions and choose another secret ninjutsu from the Book of Sealings, she might have beaten her severely. Just a meal.
This is a matter of principle for Liuli to deal with.
She would not accept such a compensation that was close to mercy and charity.
If you accept the Hokage's proposal, it means that the grievances of this incident have been wiped out. Neither party can mention this matter again, and it has been completely revealed.
However, for Liuli, this matter is not over yet.
Ignoring the compensation from the Hokage, Liuli will seek justice in his own way. Shiraishi had already expected this kind of thing.
What she wanted from the beginning was not compensation.
A great man once said that when your thoughts are not clear, you must find ways to make them clear.
And the only way to make Liuli's thoughts clear is not the Hokage's apology and compensation, but revenge.
Sometimes, the obsession of powerists is so terrifying.
"There is no guarantee that similar things will happen again in the future. Misleading intelligence during missions is also the reason why we need to establish our own organization. Whether it is collecting intelligence or doing other things, it will be very convenient. Even in Arrange ears and eyes in the ninja world to secretly cut off the roots that are performing tasks outside. You should be very interested in this kind of thing, right?"
Whether in Shiraishi's eyes or in Ruri's eyes, the root ninja is no longer a guy who can be called a companion.
is the enemy.
Coupled with the Hokage's biased approach, it is really unconvincing.
Sure enough, Liuli became interested in this.
She didn't really want to know what Shiraishi's purpose was, but she was still very motivated to take revenge on her roots.
"Another point is that aunt and uncle are doing business outside and always hire other ninjas or samurai... Although they are both mercenary groups with good reputations, in real critical moments, these people are still unreliable. . We can personally provide them with high-quality and reliable protection personnel to prevent accidents."
Liuli nodded again, agreeing with this.
Her parents, Uchiha Sosuke and Uchiha Miyoko, do have such problems around them.
The reason why Shiraishi discussed this matter with Liuli was entirely because Liuli was worthy of his trust.
As long as trust is passed, many problems can be easily solved.
The most important thing is that she is rich.
During this period, Shiraishi completed more than a dozen difficult tasks because of paddling, but the total reward he received was only more than one million taels.
I want to use this little money to establish an organization of sufficient scale to provide him with research services. Let alone spend money, it won't even make a sound.
Not to mention all kinds of food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as the large amount of funds required to expand the territory, all require strong capital to settle in.
After hearing Shiraishi say a lot of words in front of her, Liuli just replied to him lightly:
"Tell me, how much does it cost?"
Shiraishi coughed and said: "I don't know much about this aspect, but I think the initial development should require at least hundreds of millions of taels of capital investment. Therefore, I think such a large capital investment should be discussed with my aunt and uncle first. Better."
"No, I can make the decision myself with this little money. In the Country of Tea, I still have a few mines under my name, which I can resell and make some money from."
After Shiraishi heard these words, he didn't know how to continue.
"Wait, why have I never heard you mention mines?"
After coming to his senses, Shiraishi quickly asked this question.
"This is not something worth showing off. So, you don't have to worry about funding. And it's nothing. Konoha's annual military expenditure is more than this. If you want to set up an organization to gather intelligence, research, and even train armed personnel A comprehensive organization is impossible without billions of dollars in funding.”
It was obviously Baishi who proposed the organization first, but Baishi suddenly felt that Liuli was much more professional than him in establishing an organization.
"But have you thought about where to build the organization?"
Liuli asked this question.
The organization's base cannot be established within the borders of the five major countries. These five countries represent powerful powers, and it is impossible to allow uncontrolled forces to wander outside.
Once an organization is established in these five countries, it will inevitably face a devastating blow.
Therefore, we can only start from small countries.
"The Kingdom of Ghosts or the Kingdom of Iron...which one do you think is better?"
"A neutral country?"
Neither the Kingdom of Oni nor the Kingdom of Iron are considered big countries, and there are only five big countries in the ninja world.
But not all small countries will be classified as neutral countries.
For example, the Country of Rain, the Country of Rivers, the Country of Grass, or the Country of Whirlpool which was destroyed a few years ago... Although it is a small country, it is in danger of being destroyed by a big country.
Therefore, among the many small countries, the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Iron that stand out are particularly special.
Especially the Kingdom of Ghosts.
This is a country with no name.
The supreme ruler of the country is not a daimyo, but a being called a 'miko'.
This country believes in witches and has a certain style of mysticism.
Liuli had also heard that the ruler of the Ghost Country, the Miko, had extremely special powers and was said to be able to see into the future.
There is no unified conclusion as to whether this is true or false.
No matter what, the country of ghosts is indeed the most special country in the ninja world.
Its governance model is different from most countries in the ninja world.
"Yes, a neutral country can provide a good protective identity and will not be affected by the war."
"The land of ghosts."
Liuli said.
Shiraishi looked at her, eager to hear her reasons.
In fact, the Kingdom of Iron and the Kingdom of Ghosts are similar. In terms of the principle of proximity, the Kingdom of Iron is more suitable.
"That's where my parents mainly work. Because of their business dealings, they have some friendship with the people in power in the Kingdom of Ghosts, so they can provide some convenience."
"Miko?"
Shiraishi remembered that Ruri said that her parents were doing business in a small country in the far west of the ninja world.
The Kingdom of Oni is located in the far west region of the ninja world.
The only complicated thing is that the Kingdom of Ghosts is very far away from the Kingdom of Fire.
Even if we try our best to travel without stopping, it will still take more than three days to barely arrive.
It would be nice if there were planes. But Shiraishi could only think about it.
With the existing technology in the ninja world, there may be flying tools, but they cannot be widely used and the cost is very expensive.
"I don't know much about the miko. After that, I will ask them to sort out the information about the Kingdom of Ghosts and some information about the miko."
"That would be great."
Except for the long distance, Shiraishi is quite satisfied with the special national conditions of the Ghost Country.
The ninja has already seen it, what kind of existence will the miko be like?
I have the ability to see into the future, I really want to see it.
◎
One month is neither long nor short, and it has passed before you know it.
After that, Shiraishi also went to the Hyuga family, invited Ayane out, and talked about the organization. She didn't have any emotions, and said, "As long as it is Shiraishi-kun's decision, I will unconditionally support it." talk.
Sometimes, Shiraishi really can't understand what girls think.
Maybe this is the reason why puberty has arrived.
The underwear and kimono that had been hidden in Shiraishi's room did not take this opportunity to be handed over directly to Ayane because she would not accept them now.
Although he is still as well-behaved and obedient as before, he is stubborn in some aspects. Shiraishi believes that this is also a kind of growth that interests him very much.
What will her future be? After unlocking the caged bird, will she leave herself and find the true freedom she longs for? Be completely independent from herself... and find her own path...
After all, this is a ninja trained by himself.
It's a bit pampering, or pampering her unreasonable thoughts.
I not only hope that she can follow him all her life, but also hope that she can gain complete freedom and do what she likes without caring about the mood of his 'master'.
This state of mind is really complicated.
——As for the preparation work of the organization, it is also progressing relatively smoothly.
First of all, the organization's base was chosen to be the Demon Country in the far west of the ninja world.
Shiraishi didn't need to go there to observe in person. He just controlled those five people and let them serve as his eyes, hands and feet.
Even going to the Kingdom of Ghosts would be many years later.
There is no need to rush there at all.
After a month of simple training, these five people barely mastered the basic skills of ninja. The next step is to apply these skills to actual combat.
Two days before the end of the vacation, the training was completed, and Liuli was asked to transport them out of Konoha. At that time, Liuli's ninja cat would be responsible for the communication between the two parties.
And those five people were going to only one place - the Kingdom of Ghosts.
Once there, someone will tell them what to do next.
——The laboratory has returned to desertedness, with only Shiraishi working here.
Compared to a month ago, the problem of replacing chakra with natural energy as life energy has basically been solved.
Although the result was a bit incredible, Shiraishi had to believe in the answer he had verified——
That is that natural energy is very similar to chakra in some aspects!
It can even be said that natural energy can be converted into energy similar to chakra after a series of processing procedures.
The degree of similarity, judging from computer statistics, is over 90%.
The reason why it cannot be 100% identical is because it is technically impossible to achieve, and there are many things that Shiraishi cannot understand and find incredible.
In other words, processing natural energy to this point is already the limit.
To proceed further, special 'equipment' is required.
As for this 'device', Shiraishi has no clue now, and whether it exists or not is unknown.
Shiraishi thought this might be a coincidence.
Because natural energy comes from nature.
Chakra comes from the combination of physical and spiritual power in the human body.
Essentially, they are completely different and unrelated.
The only connection between them is the fusion of senjutsu chakra.
Natural energy is equivalent to chakra in nature, which is different from chakra in the human body.
Therefore, this unexpected discovery may really be an accident.
He originally just wanted to process natural energy as a life energy source to replace chakra, but the more he continued to study, many contradictions and completely contrary to common sense problems appeared one after another.
"What's going on..."
Shiraishi smiled bitterly.
To be honest, Shiraishi is really at his wits end.
Although there is no need to continue the experiment to verify the relationship between chakra and natural energy, if it is just to solve the problem of the caged bird, it is almost enough here.
Besides, he really couldn't do anything about it.
Because the research clues end here.
Shiraishi felt that there was a door tightly closed in front of him, and the answer was behind the door.
No matter whether it is through brute force or any other method, the door cannot be pushed in the slightest.
Shiraishi was helpless about this.
I had to give up exploring.
Shiraishi can't make things up out of thin air.
If there are new clues in the future, we can continue to explore. Now is not the time to pay attention to such things.
Soon, he will be on the battlefield again.
◎
At the beginning of October, the two-month vacation ended, and today was the day to go to the front line.
Shiraishi, Ruri and Ayane met at the entrance of Konoha Village.
Soon after, an ANBU appeared, handed two documents to Ruri and Ayane and disappeared.
"Chūnin appointment letter?"
The form of the two documents is exactly the same. They are special letters of appointment to upgrade the level of ninja.
The objects to upgrade their levels are naturally Ruri and Ayane.
"boring."
Already already at the Jonin level, Liuli was not very satisfied with the position of Chuunin.
Ayane smiled and put away the appointment letter, obviously not paying attention to it.
When she graduated from the ninja school, her strength was almost close to that of a jounin. Now more than half a year has passed, and she has been practicing natural energy for the past two months, and her strength has steadily improved to the jounin level.
"Let's go."
This time heading to the front line, they were alone in a group of three.
There were no specific instructions given, but the three of them were asked to go to the front line as soon as possible to join their captain, Hatake Sakumo.
To be honest, Shiraishi really missed Sakumo a little bit after not seeing him for two months.
Moreover, Sakumo's decisive and perseverance style also makes Shiraishi admire him.
Most importantly, he takes good care of his companions.
In many missions, Sakumo will give priority to the safety of Shiraishi and the other three, and then choose whether to continue to pursue the enemy or give up the pursuit, giving priority to the safety of his companions.
Sakumo's thoughts were obvious when he fought with Suna Ninja troops in the past.
It makes Shiraishi feel that Sakumo is a ninja who truly strictly abides by the bond principle of the will of fire and acts accordingly.
This is also the talent that the first Hokage expected from the beginning.
The village is bound together by the bonds of companions, and protecting every compatriot in the village is the ultimate interpretation of the Will of Fire.
Even though Sakumo may not have the ability to become Hokage in the future, he is a model ninja student who conveys the will of fire.
Shiraishi thinks so.
Shiraishi isn't particularly keen on Will of Fire though.
