Chapter 106: Bird Tour 3 Leaves 10 Sarutobi Hiruzen
Chapter 106: Bird Tour Mitsuha 10 Sarutobi Hiruzen
“It’s a long-lost feeling of home.”
In front of the gate of the Thousand Hands Mansion, Li Zhongren took a deep breath. Compared with the dryness of the Sand Kingdom and the humidity of the Rain Kingdom, the climate of the Fire Kingdom was truly pleasant.
"Squeak~~"
Push open the door.
The already lonely Senju Mansion seemed even more indifferent. After all, there was only Uzumaki Kushina in the entire mansion now. As for the old ladies who were responsible for maintaining the mansion, they had all been dismissed by Li Zhongren. Most of the houses were also closed, leaving only the small courtyard where Uzumaki Mito lived. Of course, that was also where he and Uzumaki Kushina lived. In the courtyard, their houses were separated by a pond.
"Sanye, you're back."
Across the pond, sitting there was Uzumaki Kushina, her posture was the same as Uzumaki Mito's, the difference was that the frightened deer was gone, because Li Zhongren took it down and buried it together with Uzumaki Mito's ashes in his former residence in the Land of Whirlpools. Of course, the place was already deserted at this moment.
"Well, why don't you go out for a walk?"
Li Zhongren lifted the house arrest order on Sarutobi Hiruzen, and now she can go anywhere as long as she does not leave the village.
"Because I received a notice saying that you are coming back, so I am waiting for you here."
"Oh."
Li Zhongren shrugged his shoulders and sat opposite Uzumaki Kushina, just looking at her quietly. He saw that Uzumaki Kushina had turned into Uzumaki Chili Pepper with a red face.
"Nothing you want to ask?"
Suddenly, Li Zhongren gave a wicked smile.
"For example, about Ye Cang?"
"What Ye Cang?"
Uzumaki Kushina tilted her head to the side.
"With Shimura Danzo's disgusting mentality, there's no way he wouldn't tell you about this. Moreover, I guess he should tell you everything, including what we talked about, like in the Sand Village Square."
"I don't mind."
Uzumaki Kushina blinked rapidly.
"Your purpose in coming to the Senju clan is to expand the Senju clan. This is the wish of sister Tsunade and the long-cherished wish of grandmother Mito, so I have already made preparations."
"How old are you?"
"What's wrong with twelve?"
"The legal age for marriage in Konoha Village is fourteen, but considering that you are a Jinchūriki, childbirth by a female Jinchūriki may cause the seal to loosen, so it is postponed to sixteen. Then, a normal person would have two children in three years, but you are a member of the Uzumaki clan, and you have a strong physique, so having one child a year is no problem. From the age of sixteen to forty-six, you can give birth to thirty children, and they will all be high-quality hybrids of the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan. I think you can get away with it with Sister Tsunade."
"Ah!!! Go to hell!!!"
"Haha, I can't hit it, I can't hit it"
Li Zhongren left and after taking a shower, he was called away by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
In the empty courtyard, Uzumaki Kushina was the only one left.
However, the look in her eyes at this moment has changed from the previous anxious expression to another one. There is a little bit of expectation hidden in the fear?
“Do I really want to be the mother of thirty children?”
"oops"
Uzumaki Kushina covered her face.
"It's too scary. How about calling for an outside help? Bah, bah, bah, no way."
-
"What!! Kotori Mitsuha, are you crazy???"
Shimura Danzo slammed the table.
"You are aiding the enemy!!"
"Okay, Danzo."
Sarutobi Hiruzen crossed his fingers, signaling him to be quiet.
"Mitsuha's idea is good. With the electromagnetic bomb he used to kill more than a thousand elite ninjas, the ninja families of Sand Village are falling into an unprecedented period of weakness. At this time, if Ye Cang recruits civilian ninjas, he can form a fourth faction in addition to the Kazekage faction, the ninja family faction, and the Sand Village exploration force faction. The more power is divided, the weaker it becomes."
"However, Mitsuha, no matter what happens inside, it is undeniable that Sand Village has the Steam Princess. Whether it is the deployment of troops or the explosion of troops, it has been greatly improved compared to before. The enemies outside, such as the Rain Ninja and us, will still make them cooperate temporarily. Have you considered this issue?"
"this."
Li Zhongren took out a round thing from his arms. It looked like metal, but also like ceramic. It was the size of a fist and as thick as a finger.
"what is this?"
"I used the various materials and objects I obtained from Sunagakure to research this energy storage device."
"Is that what you were talking about. Battery?"
"Of course not, that thing will explode. Even lightning can make it explode. Who would dare to use it?"
Li Zhongren was telling the truth. The physical laws of this world are different from those on Earth because of the presence of chakras. For example, the propagation of long electromagnetic waves beyond visible light is suppressed, making long-distance communication impossible, and things like the telegraph no longer exist.
Also, EMP on Earth will only damage electrical appliances, but in this world, it seems that because of chakra, the electrical energy is not stable, and when stimulated by EMP, it will explode with enormous power.
"This is specially used to store chakra."
"Chakra?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat up straight.
"Is that what I understood? Mitsuha?"
"Yes, it is similar to a military ration pill. It can store chakra. With it, ninjas can store excess chakra in it. When fighting, if chakra is insufficient, they can use it to replenish chakra."
Li Zhongren explained that, of course, this was just nonsense, because this thing was invented by Li Harry based on the Mountain of Magic Energy and the Eight-tailed Tentacles. "Teacher Tom's Study Notes" can certainly improve learning efficiency, but it is impossible to turn an ordinary person into Einstein, because that is the difference in logical thinking.
"Does it have any disadvantages? Or, is it easy to crack?"
"Konoha has the most complete sealing techniques and scientific research institutions."
Li Zhongren did not answer directly, but threw it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"You can study it. If you are interested, you can buy it from me."
"Purchasing?" Danzo Shimura looked at Li Zhongren.
"Of course, this is an invention of my Senju clan. Do you think I should give it to you for free? It's just like your Shimura clan's intelligence organization outside. Why haven't you handed it over to Konoha?"
"you!!"
"Okay, Danzo, there's nothing wrong with what Mitsuha said."
Sarutobi Hiruzen wisely did not dwell on this issue. After all, no one is clean.
"That's the end of this matter. Then, regarding the intelligence you obtained, we discussed it and decided to tell Hanzo of the Salamander in advance. According to my speculation, Hanzo of the Salamander will most likely give up being the enemy of Konoha and go after the Sand Village, which may have relaxed its defenses and has already suffered huge losses. What do you think?"
"no problem."
Li Zhongren nodded.
"But, Master Hiruzen, I am going to the front lines to support my sister, just in case."
"it is good."
After pondering for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
"Hiruzen, are you crazy?"
After Li Zhongren left, Shimura Danzo slammed the table again.
"Let's not talk about this stuff. How could you allow him to go to the front line?"
"Yes, Hiruzen. If he gets the credit for this, he will get the ninjutsu in the Sealed Book. You know, not even the Senju clan has a backup copy of this thing."
On the side, Utane Koharu spoke, and although Mito Kado En didn't say anything, his meaning was the same.
“Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn’t help but sigh.”
"You guys"
He raised the round cake in his hand, and just by touching it with his fingertips, he could feel the vitality of chakra in it. It was obvious that it came from Mitsuha Takanashi.
"With this thing, he is no longer the same person as before."
"What's the meaning."
"That's right. Mu Tong is an intelligence organization. I can use this as an excuse to restrict him. However, don't forget that he also has another identity. He is the young patriarch of the Senju clan, and he can become the patriarch of the Senju clan at any time. As long as Tsunade is free, the handover should be completed."
"So what? There is no one left in the Senju clan."
"Really not?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"The Shodaime allowed the Senju clan to integrate into Konoha. Theoretically, most of the lower classes in Konoha have the blood of the Senju clan. Every year, the ninja school graduates a large number of people who are above ordinary people and below ninja. They also have good physiques, and some even have good brains, but their natural chakra deficiency makes their bodies not as strong as normal ninjas, and they cannot use any ninjutsu."
"But what about this thing?"
"These ninja helpers who can only serve as laborers in Konoha Village or assist ninjas in carrying out missions will be reborn from the ashes. They don't even need to learn ninjutsu. As long as chakra flows in their bodies, they can form combat effectiveness in half a month or at the latest a month. Some of the smart ones can even go further."
"But, Hiruzen, are you counting on Mitsuha Kotori to provide them with chakra?"
"Idiot"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed again.
"Have you forgotten what his future wife's name is?"
Hearing this, the other three people reacted immediately.
"Damn!!"
Because they also thought of the possibility that the Senju clan could use blood as an excuse to legally recruit thousands or even more such people to work for them. As for chakra, the Nine-Tails' chakra is almost infinite, and a mouthful of Tailed Beast Ball is enough for these ninjas to use for a long time, and the Nine-Tails can even spit out Tailed Beast Balls continuously.
And, more importantly.
These ninjas who are not ninjas will be loyal because the source of their chakra is the Senju clan. Once they betray the Senju clan, they will lose the source of their chakra and then lose their identity as ninjas. However, few people who have tasted the power brought by ninjas can give up.
"It seems you understand."
Sarutobi Hiruzen drummed his fingers on the table.
"This time, his Mu Tong has made a great contribution. The Senju clan is recruiting people in the village, and no one can say no. Moreover, you have overlooked one point. It is not easy for these non-ninja ninjas to form combat effectiveness. But what if they are blessed with the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan? They only need to become mobile chakra providers and release the Four Red Yang Formation through a few elite ninjas, and then they can exert their combat effectiveness."
"As this ninja army has combat effectiveness, Mu Tong will no longer be an empty shell. I believe that many ninjas who hesitated before will choose to join it. That's why I asked him about the plan on how to deal with the Sand Village. That's why I agreed to let him go to the battlefield because he has the qualifications."
"Hiruzen, not as good as us"
Shimura Danzo's eyes became more vicious.
"You guys"
Looking at his old friends, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.
"I've said before that fighting without breaking is the bottom line. Otherwise, other ninja villages will just take advantage of it. Just like Sand Village, it seems that the civilian forces are rising, but the price is the decline of overall strength. That is to say, their geographical location is good and they have seized the current opportunity well. If this kind of thing happened normally, do you think they would be bitten off by other forces?"
"In a place like ours where four wars have broken out, if this happens, the consequences will only be more serious."
"Besides, we have countermeasures in this matter. Why do you think he would take this thing out openly?"
"Because he wants to recruit people from within Konoha, he must abide by Konoha's rules. The village has the right to order ninja tools from any family and cannot refuse. In terms of output, no matter how much he produces, Konoha must have the right to purchase half. He has a ninja army, but Konoha's regular lords can also obtain this thing, and their combat effectiveness will also double."
"However, he is still outside the power system of the remaining Hokage."
Mitomon En spoke.
"An intelligence organization that belongs only to his own family legion, supported by one of the three holy places, and the village has to keep giving him money to buy this thing. Over time..."
"call"
This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say anything. No matter what, this round was won by Kotori Mitsuha.
He does have a trump card, but it's a pity that it's not the right time to play it.
