"The deepest impression you have of the previous Roots should be that Danzo Shimura would always find you, using the big hat of the Will of Fire and the power of the Hokage to forcibly blackmail the most outstanding talents in the clan."
"After these geniuses entered the Root, they disappeared without a trace and became private soldiers in the hands of Shimura Danzo. Not only did they have to cut off ties with their families, they were even cursed with various seals to prevent information from being leaked. They became his personal human tools."
"Obviously, you all know this, but you dare not resist. Am I right?"
The various ninja clan leaders nodded awkwardly.
What Qingshui said were facts that could not be refuted, and this was exactly how Shimura Danzo acted.
"However, as you can see, the Root has now become a formal organization. Under the norms of the Will of Fire, it has become a gathering place for Konoha's elite!"
Qingshui changed the subject: "I asked you all to come here today, first of all, I want you to see the difference of roots..."
"Second, the Root is currently short of manpower. I hope you can provide some support. After all, the cloud of war is approaching. Our Root will be the vanguard in the future and needs an influx of new forces."
Everyone's expression suddenly changed.
really!
At the root, no matter how bright and magnificent the building looks, the leader’s heart is still as dark as before, and Qingshui is even worse...
The banner slogan of the Will of Fire fluttering above his head is a heavier hat than Shimura Danzo's words!
The roots are so transparent, why don't the ninja clan send the genius over there? Do they have any rebellious intentions?
The ninja clan leaders were a little suffocated. So they were waiting for them here?
"However, there are still some things I want you to see first."
Qing Shui smiled gently: "Uncle Qufeng, Ding Zuo told me about the three-color pills of the Akimichi clan. After the recent adjustments made by me and Teacher Tsunade, its side effects have been alleviated..."
Qing Shui pushed a box across the table.
Qiu Dao Qu Feng looked at Qing Shui's face and sighed in his heart: "Jing, your descendants don't look like you..."
"This method of using yin and yang to gradually erode the situation and interests is very similar to Mr. Tobirama!"
Akimichi Qufeng perked up. Although he was not interested in power, as the patriarch of the Akimichi clan, he still had a strong interest in the improvement of the family's secret three-color pill.
This is the Akimichi clan's trump card, but it is also a shackle and restriction. It only provides an additional trump card that burns life, but it cannot provide the Akimichi clan with normal combat power.
Once, Akimichi Norifu wanted to use his old face to ask Tsunade for mercy, but was ruthlessly beaten back.
All I can say is that Tsunade doesn't even have the face of Sarutobi Hiruzen, let alone him...
Qiu Daoqufeng solemnly opened the box, looked at the spinach balls, curry balls and chili balls inside, and looked up at Qingshui.
"The side effect of spinach pills is body aches, but now through the combination of drugs, it has been reduced to a slight feeling of weakness..."
Qingshui smiled and said, "You can give it a try, Uncle Qufeng."
Qiu Dao Qufeng looked at Qing Shui's sincere eyes, slowly picked up a spinach ball, put it in his mouth and started chewing.
Not to mention, it’s delicious…
But soon, Qiu Daoqufeng felt the effect of the medicine stimulating his body!
The effect of spinach pills is that it allows the user to increase his or her athletic potential by 30% in a short period of time, and the strength can be increased by more than three times the limit. The side effect is pain all over the body.
But Qiu Daoqufeng clearly felt that the spinach pills had improved his effect far beyond its original effectiveness, and he could hardly feel the pain!
Qiu Dao Qu Feng looked at Qing Shui in shock and muttered to himself, "How did you do this?"
Qing Shui shook his head modestly: "It's mainly due to Teacher Tsunade. I, as a student, just assisted a little."
Senju Tobirama snorted coldly: "Qingshui, what does it have to do with Xiao Gang? Isn't this the idea I provided you?"
"Tobirama, are you trying to take credit for this? Then how do I tell Akimichi Toukou that his teacher showed up?"
Qing Shui said helplessly:
"You are a master of forbidden techniques. Researching drugs is nothing to you. Don't mind it..."
Senju Tobirama raised his eyebrows: "It's good that you know, little brat."
Qingshui shook his head. Sometimes, Senju Tobirama's copyright awareness was always strangely strong, which made him speechless.
"The second curry ball itself provides a large amount of energy. I made a slight change here." Qingshui and Qiu Daoqufeng smiled and motioned for him to try.
This time, having tasted the sweetness of the spinach balls, Qiu Daoqufeng simply ate the curry balls. A warm current quickly flowed into his body, providing extremely high calories.
"well!"
Qiu Daoqufeng cheered and looked at Qingshui with great anticipation: "So what about the chili pills?"
“Chili pills are still under development.”
Qing Shui chuckled and said, "As the learning base of Konoha's Will of Fire, the Root will provide the improved spinach ball formula to the Akimichi clan free of charge."
"However, the resources of the roots are also limited, and we hope to get corresponding returns when we give."
Qiu Dao Qu Feng's expression froze, and he nodded slowly: "That's right, Leader Qing Shui, this is what should be done."
Qiu Daoqufeng was very shrewd and kept silent, but his eyes were full of unbearable expectation.
He is waiting for Qingshui's bid!
But Qing Shui smiled and did not continue talking to Qiu Dao Qu Feng:
"While researching the Akimichi family's three-color pills, I developed several medicines to strengthen the body. The recipes were developed based on the unique medicinal materials of the Nara clan."
"This is one of the finished products. It's good for the ninja's tense brain."
Qingshui pushed a box of medicine and prescription in front of the Nara clan leader and motioned for him to check it.
The Nara clan leader's eyes lit up, and he ignored Akimichi Tofu's anxious look, carefully checked the prescription, and swallowed it immediately.
In an instant, the Nara clan leader felt his head cool and clear, and even his thoughts worked faster. The stubborn pain deep in his brain was relieved at this moment.
For the Nara clan whose brains are always working, this is a rare and excellent tonic!
The Nara clan leader made a prompt decision and said:
"Qingshui, our Nara clan is willing to provide elite members to the Root. Since the Root's Will of Fire is so desirable and moving, our Nara clan cannot disappoint Chief Qingshui and must join this big family!"
Qiu Dao Qufeng frowned. How come this old guy, who was always smart, couldn't even bargain?
But soon, Akimichi Tofu felt a pain in his calf, and the Nara clan leader kicked him silently.
Qiu Dao Qu Feng was startled and quickly said:
"The Akimichi clan is the same! We don't ask for anything in return, we just want the Akimichi clan to participate in the root's will of fire!"
This kick woke Qiu Dao Qufeng up.
The Qingshui in front of him was not a kid who was waiting to be sold or bullied.
Instead, he is a Root leader who can overthrow Danzo Shimura, who has a gentle smile but even more ruthless methods.
He has the will of fire, but is always tough, just like his teacher.
Akimichi Tofu thought about Qingshui's extremely hawkish attitude towards other hidden villages, and felt a little regretful. He had been idle at home as a rich man for too long and had lost even basic political sensitivity.
In fact, Akimichi Tofu is a bit silly. When Senju Tobirama asked who would cover the retreat, he actually said in public: "If I cover the retreat, I will definitely die, so who will go..."
Qingshui demonstrated the improved version of the Heart-Turning Technique to the Shanzhong Clan Chief, but did not give him the corresponding method of practice. He just let him feel the almost doubled strength.
The improved parasite that was being cultivated was shown to the Aburame clan...
He showed the Inuzuka clan a new type of physical technique derived from the animal-like ninjutsu...
And finally, the Root's rich reserves of ninjutsu were demonstrated, stating that these resources were fully open to the Root ninjas.
"Everyone, I think you have some misunderstandings."
Qing Shui slowly stood up, with magatama appearing in his eyes, and he scanned the ninja clan leaders present with his extremely powerful pupil power:
"Although the Root is in need of manpower now, we are not forcing you. It is just because your clans are the backbone of Konoha, and because of your previous achievements, the quota is open to you first."
"The New Root will not force any Konoha ninja to join. We only need companions who agree with the path of the Will of Fire and elites who have the ability to develop into the cornerstone of Konoha."
"The roots absorb nutrients at the bottom and must always give back to the leaves. As the roots that support the leaves, they need extremely solid essence. I hope everyone can understand this principle."
"Everyone, you can go back with your harvest..."
Qingshui waved his hand and ordered the Yamanaka clan, the Aburame clan and other ninja clans to expel them without even listening to their responses.
The ninja clan leaders stood up reluctantly, their hearts in turmoil at the powerful temptation of the root's interests.
The Nara clan leader spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, as if he was talking to Akimichi Tofu, but Qingshui and the others present could vaguely hear a little:
"Qu Feng, Chief Qing Shui's teacher is Lady Tsunade, the current assistant to the Hokage!"
"Do I need to emphasize these principles to you? If you don't make a bet and stand firm now, how can you win attention in the future?"
"Do you think Jiraiya and Orochimaru still have a good chance? It's very difficult, don't hesitate..."
The Nara clan leader took Akimichi Toukaze's hand and quickly left the venue.
Qingshui smiled as he watched the departing figure of the Nara clan leader and nodded with satisfaction.
In this ninja world, there are always smart people, like the Root's Yakushi Nono and the Nara clan leader...
After Chief Nara finished speaking, although the other chiefs knew that this was meant for them to hear, they were still moved.
Although the war that could reshuffle the cards has not yet arrived, but compared to Qingshui's strength in holding the Root and his impressive talent, can Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who have more experience than him, be able to compete with him?
The answer to this question, combined with Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude, seems to become more and more obvious.
After all the clan leaders left, a man who had been silent just now turned back and looked at Qingshui with fanatical eyes:
"Lord Qingshui, I'm sorry that the Hyuga clan rejected your invitation, but I beg you to let me join the Root. I am willing to give everything I have for your will and the new Root!"
Among all the ninja clans in Konoha, those invited by Qingshui came, except the Hyuga clan.
Only the Hyuga clan explicitly rejected Qingshui's invitation!
Just like the Hyuga clan in the original time and space, when Konoha and Kumogakure held a peace celebration, all the jonins and genin from Konoha participated, but this clan did not attend in order to celebrate the third birthday of the eldest son of the main family...
Just as the Hyuga clan did not exist in the Anbu and the Root, this powerful family of Konoha also rejected the invitation of the new Root.
Qing Shui shook his head with emotion and patted his shoulder: "Hiashi, are you representing the Hyuga clan?"
Hinata Hizashi shook his head very firmly: "Lord Qingshui, I only represent myself!"
Qing Shui smiled gently: "Hizashi, I really like the will of fire burning in you..."
"Come with me. You are the first member to join the New Root. I hope that your will of fire can burn away some things that hinder the new era in the future."
