Chapter 132: Like a tiger, sniffing the rose
"Muzi is loyal and righteous."
"To!"
"I declare you graduated!"
The examiner of the Hidden Cloud Ninja School looked at the student in front of him who had failed a grade for six years and couldn't help but sigh. He finally graduated. If he hadn't graduated, he might have been the first student in history to hold a wedding in the Hidden Cloud Ninja School next year.
"Of course, his graduation was forced."
Troy Vibhashi, the head of the Logistics and Mineral Department of Kumogakure, specifically named him to graduate, saying that although he was terrible at Lightning Release and Chakra Bodybuilding Techniques, his grades in the Ninja Culture School were excellent and he could be of use there, so he was allowed to graduate.
The so-called Ninja Culture School is another school in Kumogakure besides the Ninja School.
But it is different from the Ninja School in that that school is more like a cram school. It has no fixed students. Most of the students who have become ninjas go there to take cultural classes. As for why Kumogakure is different from other ninja villages and has two schools.
It's all because of the Lightning Release: Chakra Body Tempering Technique.
This is an extremely powerful ninjutsu. When practiced to the highest level, it can form a humanoid tailed beast. However, its disadvantages have been mentioned before. Once it is fully activated, it will make it impossible to think too complicated.
Therefore, it is nonsense to let Ninja schools take cultural courses while they are majoring in physical training.
Therefore, generally speaking, only after one has practiced the chakra body-building technique to one's limit will one turn around and go to the Ninja Culture School to study.
However, at this time, most of the ninjas in Kumogakure had already officially started working and it was impossible for them to study full-time. Therefore, a setting similar to a training class appeared. They would come to study for a period of time during holidays, then go on missions, and then study again when they came back.
Mu Zi Zhongyi, the original body replaced by Li Zhongren, had not yet passed the level of ninjutsu, so he was told not to waste time studying at a cultural school, and his grades were unexpectedly good, which led to the current scene.
Of course, in fact, these are all just strategies, the purpose of which is to allow Mu Zi Zhongyi to collect in-depth information on the Chakra Body Building Technique of the Hidden Cloud Village. As for why no one in Konoha practiced the Chakra Body Building Technique in the original work, this has to do with the special features of this ninjutsu.
The Ai family is a very wise family.
It's like the power structure of Yunyin, a very stable family-based model. The Ai family and the other three families are collectively known as the four major families of Yunyin. The four major families are in charge of almost everything in Yunyin. However, the Ai family uses various controls to make it impossible for every family to disobey itself.
Naturally, they also took precautions when it came to chakra body building techniques.
First, at most two layers will be leaked, and the real core third layer will not be leaked to others.
Second, the practice of Lightning Release Chakra Body Tempering Technique requires special secret medicine.
Third, you need the environment of the Land of Thunder, thunder and lightning, that is, to strike yourself with thunder. Just imagine how strong the attack power of thunder is. It also requires special means and special places to train with weakened thunder. If you go out and find yourself struck by thunder, you can probably only practice once in your life.
"Thank you teacher for your cultivation!"
"hehe."
The teacher of Yunyin School laughed and quickly waved at Li Zhongren, asking him to leave.
"This is your mission."
In Yunyin Logistics, in the Mineral Department where Troy Vigon was located, he handed a letter of appointment to Li Zhongren.
"The Third-Hamizu adopted son, Minato Namikaze, has officially started his Frost Country Channel plan a few days ago. The Kumogakure and Lightning Country Daimyo both fully support this. Therefore, a large amount of various materials have begun to be shipped to the Frost Country. Based on the premise of efficient utilization, our Kumogakure intelligence organization stationed in the Frost Country will serve as the receiver and distributor of these materials during the Second Shinobi World War, and will be responsible for cooperating with the Third-Hamizu adopted son Minato Namikaze."
"However, in order to prevent these ninjas from reselling supplies privately, the Sandaime ordered that there would be three intelligence organizations in the Frost Country, and each organization would send a general affairs clerk to be responsible for recording and counting each item of supplies. Since this position does not require combat power, I recommended you to Lady Selyu, who is in charge of this matter."
"interesting."
There were only two of them in the office, so Li Zhongren sat lazily in the chair, flipping through the appointment letter in his hand.
"Our Sandaime is the most contrasting person I have ever seen. He is as fierce as a tiger but can smell the rose."
"indeed."
Troy Vigong nodded. It was the checks and balances he was familiar with. The Intelligence Department was run by Minister Tsuchiya's people, the people who transported the supplies were from the Mabu family, and those responsible for recording and counting the supplies were from Lady Seleucus' people. The three parties were involved with each other and no one could trust anyone else.
What's more interesting is that these secretaries who are responsible for recording information will have the coordinates of the Tensong Technique engraved on their bodies, and they can transfer everything they have recorded to Yunyin regularly. If someone in the intelligence organization wants to control him, during the activation of the Tensong Technique, they can also use special extreme sensing to detect the corresponding situation.
"Also, I have been doing what you asked me to do recently."
Troy Vigon glanced at the office door and then spoke.
"I just gave all my assets to Madam Sailu under various pretexts. She was surprisingly happy."
"It's because our Sandaime is so wise."
Li Zhongren smiled slightly and put away the appointment letter in his hand.
"Who doesn't like money? She is in a high position, so it's even more so, especially since she has never had the opportunity to get her hands on so much money before."
"But will this make her think that I have ulterior motives?"
"After that, as long as you mention the matter of Shuang Guoqu a few times, she will not be suspicious. After all, anyone would be tempted by such a big cake."
"okay, I get it."
"Also, this is for you."
As he spoke, Li Zhongren took out a bottle of perfume from his arms. The crystal clear bottle was filled with scarlet liquid.
"This is."
"From now on, every time before you go see Madam Seleu, you must spray some on yourself."
"why"
"Ok?"
"Underlings, I understand."

Frost Country
The Frost Country is located at the bottom of the Cloud Ninja. It is not high in terms of altitude, but it is very strange. The temperature is very low all year round and there is permafrost everywhere. Because of this special environment, warm rain falling here will turn into snow, and then be wiped out by the warm rain behind it, and finally condense into frost.
This is also the origin of the name of the Frost Kingdom.
In the Frost Kingdom, the northern part of the country has the coldest climate and the most scarce resources.
In Li Zhongren's opinion, the geographical environment here is similar to that of Siberia, and it is Siberia that is always in winter.
Stepping on the snow, he pushed open a door.
This is an inn located in a town in the Frost Kingdom.
This is for external use. In fact, it is Yunyin's intelligence base in the Frost Country. The Frost Country has three cities located in three regions. This city is the northernmost and the most desolate.
"Welcome, are you staying at the hotel?"
"clatter."
Li Zhongren didn't say anything. He glanced around and saw that there was no one else around, so he took out his appointment letter and shook it.
"Okay, please come with me."
The girl behind the bar was stunned for a moment, then immediately returned to normal.
Outside the window, snowflakes are falling again.
The fireplace in the room was burning brightly.
Li Zhongren was reading a book expressionlessly.
“Breathing rhythmically.”
“I am also reading seriously.”
In the next room, a woman was peeping into the room where Li Zhongren was through a special device.
"Being assigned to such a bitter and cold place, he still has no emotions. Either he really doesn't care about anything, or..."
"Deep thoughts."
The man sighed and took over his wife's words.
"I thought there was hope, but now the higher-ups have sent me a clerk. I don't know when these days will end."
"I think it's good here. Here we are the bosses. Back in the village we are nothing and are excluded by others."
"Hey, I always feel that this man looks familiar."
"look familiar?"
The woman looked at him a few more times and suddenly had the same feeling, especially after he took off his hat.
"Mu Zi Zhong Yi??"
The man and the woman looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
They were very familiar with this person. When they were in Yunyin, they took cultural courses together and his grades were very good. It was a pity that his physical training skills were a mess, so he never graduated and even became a laughing stock in Yunyin. There was nothing wrong with such a person being sent to this bitter and cold place. He was capable, but not comprehensive, so he could only come to this kind of place.
"Hey, we are classmates now."
The man laughed.
"What classmate? Have you talked to him?"
"No."
"That's it. This identity can bring us closer, but that's all. Can you trust him? Do you dare to trust him? On the other hand, does he dare to trust you? Everyone knows that there will be a lot of cake here in the future, but the Sandaime's method makes us have to be wary of each other."
"Hey"
"Anyway, go meet him."
"dong dong dong~~"
"Please come in."
The man opened the door with a smile on his face.
"Hey, old schoolmate!"
"Yeah, old classmate."
Li Zhongren did not show any surprise expression, but waved to the other party in the same way.
This made the couple stunned. After all, their intelligence organization was confidential. The other party had no way of knowing who they were before seeing them. And this guy in front of them looked like he had known about it for a long time. No matter how they thought about it, the intelligence must have been leaked.
"Squeak~~"
The woman closed the door gently and looked at Li Zhongren.
"You, Mu Zi Zhongyi, have already known that the two of us are the managers here?"
"Codename Ming, Kumogakure jonin, 34 years old, formerly known as Pakura Ming, codename Ning, Kumogakure special jonin, 32 years old, formerly known as Unica Ning, after getting married, changed her name to Pakura Ning."
Li Zhongren turned around slowly, but did not stand up. Instead, he looked up at the two of them. However, for some reason, this calm tone actually gave the two of them a little pressure.
"You two are both talented members of the Kumogakure. Although you do not have a bloodline limit, your physical fitness is also top-notch among the jonin. The reason why you are not reused and are assigned to this bitter cold place is because your aunt, Pakura Yue, married the Sand Village ninja Yekura Yoji when she was still a civilian."
"Of course, this is nothing. But a few years ago, Ye Cang Yoji's daughter, Ye Cang Pakura, awakened the Scorch Release and rose in status in Sunagakure. The higher-ups were worried about this relationship and were reluctant to part with your talents, so they expelled you from the center of power and sent you to this bitter cold place."
"Who are you"
Pakula Ning slowly took out a kunai.
"Muzi is loyal and righteous."
Li Zhongren shrugged.
"Also, you two don't need to be so cautious. I am your old classmate. You haven't forgotten why I can take classes with you. I failed the physical training. As for how I know this, you can take a look at this letter."
As he spoke, Li Zhongren took out a letter, flicked it, and threw it to Pakula Ning.
There were a few lines of words written on it: Pakula Ming, written by Pakula Ning, and written by Yecang Pakula.
One more update, it’s a bit late, I’m sorting out the outline recently.
