Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 453 Hey, there is a wild Bai Jue here

"Hand-yaki, bring me two pancakes."

"Okay, Elder Sifang, please wait a moment." The thin pancake master with a Chinese character face quickly shook his hands, spread out the pancakes, brushed them with egg wash, sprinkled with minced meat, then spread a layer of vegetables, and then rolled them up.

The chubby woman next to him packed the pancakes, wrapped them flexibly with short, thick fingers, tied them into knots, and then handed them to Uchiha Sifang: "Your minced meat pancakes, Elder Sifang."

Then the fat woman looked at Uchiha Fugaku and said happily: "Guest, what pancakes do you want?"

Uchiha Fugaku was embarrassed. He was the clan leader, but his clan members didn't recognize him.

Uchiha Sifang said: "Jing, let me have a pancake like the one I have."

The fat woman smiled and said, "No problem, Elder Sifang."

As the two walked and ate, Uchiha Sifang said: "Uchiha's hand-grilling skills are very good. It turns out that he can sell 600 pancakes every day in the center of the village, and can sell more than 1,500 pancakes at the busiest time.

"

"But after being forced to move here, only the Uchiha clan members came to visit, and the number of servings in a day was only a hundred at most."

"No matter how delicious pancakes are, you can't eat them every day."

"Fugaku, have you forgotten that among the more than 5,000 people in our Uchiha clan, only a few hundred are ninjas, and most of the others are just ordinary people."

"You agreed to move this place from a prosperous area of ​​the village. Do you think it will have no impact on the ninjas?"

"You're right, it won't have much impact on ninjas."

"But among the more than 1,000 families, there are only 300 families with ninjas earning income. The impact on the remaining 700-odd families has been extremely serious. Their income is even less than a quarter of what it was before."

Uchiha Fugaku held the pancake tightly in his hand and barely controlled himself to take a bite. The delicious pancake could only feel bitter in his mouth.

Later, the Uchiha District took him to see many Uchiha families. In comparison, Uchiha Fugaku found that the life of Uchiha Teyaki was actually very good.

Because the distance is too long, many people have to spend several hours traveling back and forth every day. The work is not only hard but also looked down upon, resulting in a sharp drop in income.

More than half of the families have already been unable to make ends meet, their savings have been used up in building new houses, and now they are really on the verge of bankruptcy.

Elder Sifang and others distributed some money to help them maintain the most basic life, but the Uchiha family itself was on the verge of bankruptcy and could not hold on for long.

Self-blame was gnawing at his heart, and he felt extremely regretful that he had neglected the vast majority of his tribe, and his position began to loosen.

Indeed, when a person is forced to starve to death, there is no way to take a step back, because he has no room to retreat.

And if more than 70% of the people in a family are in poverty to the point of starvation, the family has no room for retreat and compromise.

After all, Uchiha Fugaku still has some responsibilities as a clan leader. Seeing the current situation of his clan members, he could not be untouched, and finally began to seriously consider changing his attitude and methods.

People are starving to death. Isn't it right to use violence to survive?

…

After listening to Uchiha Itachi's report, the Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Very good, Itachi, you are a ninja who truly understands the spirit of fire."

"After we go back, we must continue to monitor Fugaku. Remember that we are doing this to protect the Uchiha clan as much as possible, and also to protect the Leaf Village."

"Yes! Hokage-sama, I'm going back right now." After saying that, Uchiha Itachi bowed and left.

As he left, the side door of the Hokage's office opened, and Shimura Danzo came out. He said: "Hiruzen, Uchiha Itachi seems reliable now, but don't forget, he is also an inherently evil Uchiha."

"Danzo, you have to believe in my opinion. Itachi Uchiha is really a ninja who understands the spirit of fire. He is able to sacrifice everything for the Leaf Village."

"Well, maybe the exception is his brother Uchiha Sasuke, but that's even better."

Danzo originally had a face full of disbelief, but after hearing the last words of the third generation, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "So, Uchiha Itachi is trustworthy for the time being."

The Third Hokage looked at Shimura Danzo and asked: "The meeting last night proved that the Uchiha family was not involved. I also found no clues in the ANBU surveillance report."

"Danzo, you came to me now. Did you discover more information?"

Danzo Shimura's expression was stagnant, and finally he said helplessly: "I have no new information. The root base has been completely destroyed, and the power of the root has been severely damaged. I came to you in the hope of getting more funds, and there are more

recruitment quota.”

"You want money or people?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that he laughed.

Danzo still refuses to give himself an accurate estimate of how many people or supplies he has lost. He just keeps talking about a lot.

He still has the nerve to ask himself for money or people?

Well, he really has a face.

The dog he raised had to be fed with tears in his eyes before the target died. The Third Hokage weighed it for a long time, and finally agreed to part of it: "I can give you another part of the money, but there will definitely be no recruitment quota. You can figure it out yourself.

.”

Danzo Shimura became anxious when he heard this. How could he just give him money but not a quota?

Shimura Danzo's relationship with the various ninja clans in the village is extremely bad. If he directly recruits people in his name, he will definitely be pushed back.

Now that the roots have been destroyed, Danzo Shimura's strength has been greatly reduced, and he has no strong subordinates to rob people. If he bites the bullet and robs people, the ninjas of the great ninja clan will definitely dare to pretend that they don't know him, and then regard his people as

The spy was beaten severely.

If Danzo himself appeared, the other party would use this as an excuse to gang up on the Third Hokage and force him to marry him, and they would have to eliminate the root cause.

This kind of thing has happened once before, but in the end it was finally put to rest with the help of the powerful intimidation of the roots and the mediation of the Third Hokage.

But all the results achieved last time, including Aburame's root extraction, were all lost this time.

Faced with Danzo Shimura's endless excuses, the Third Hokage also said angrily: "You also know that I intervened last time, so wouldn't they object to me issuing the Hokage Order to recruit personnel from the ninja clan?"

"Duanzo, I know you can gather people from the orphanage and outside the village, which is enough for you to rebuild your roots. I can't give you more."

"The manpower obtained through those channels are all mediocre, and the orphanage is full of trash. There are also trash who have failed to pass the chunin exam for nine consecutive years. What can this kind of thing be used for?"

"It's enough to be able to start and assist the Anbu well!" The Third Hokage looked sideways at his old classmate and said coldly, "Does the Anbu want to do anything else?"

Shimura Danzo was stunned, and then he realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to take over power and took the opportunity to weaken the root to its nominal function.

This is the cunning rabbit being cooked by the dead lackey. No, the cunning rabbit is not dead yet, and he, the lackey, does not intend to be cooked in the pot. He just wants to be bled and weakened.

Danzo was so angry that he was confused, his words were even incoherent, and he didn't realize that he had scolded himself.

His anger was so explosive that even the hair exposed outside the bandage stood up, but in the end he still swallowed it hard.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen said is true. If the Hokage Order is issued at this time and manpower is drawn from various ninja clans to form the root, the Uchiha clan will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.

For the sake of the overall situation of Konoha Village and in order to eliminate this group of inherently evil people, Danzo Shimura endured it.

However, Danzo Shimura thought about Hiruzen Sarutobi and couldn't simply let him kill him.

Danzo put his hands on the desk and suppressed his anger and said: "Without real elites, even auxiliary work cannot be done well at the root. You must give me some elite manpower."

The Third Hokage shook his head and said: "Duanzo, I don't have any extra manpower for you here."

Danzo Shimura thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He thought of a group of particularly suitable ninjas, and he couldn't help but said excitedly: "I thought of it. There are many fire escape masters in your Sarutobi family. You can..."

"Shut up!! Those are all my people, they are all still children!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was instantly furious, "Danzo!! You actually want to use your disgusting methods on my lion?"

Shimura Danzo defended: "What disgusting method? I just established the children's loyalty to Konoha. Even the tongue-killing technique is not disgusting. It is a necessary method to carry out the root mission. Even my tribe is the same.

Why should your clan..."

The Third Hokage's eyes were blazing, and he stared at Danzo Shimura fiercely. The powerful chakra oppression interrupted his words.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not even want to say another word. He pointed at the door and signaled the Will Village Danzo to leave.

Danzo Shimura was stunned for a long time, and then he understood what the Hokage meant. It turned out that in his heart, he was just a dirty thing that couldn't be put on the table?

Danzo cursed angrily: "Sarutobi Hiruzen, you bastard! The teacher misjudged you, you bastard, how come your clan's life is more noble than my Shimura clan's?"

"Someone, take Elder Shimura out!"

After the cursing Shimura Danzo left the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, walked to the window, looked at the lively and prosperous Konoha Village, and slowly calmed down his violently beating heart.

I don't know who he was telling it to, but Hiruzen Sarutobi whispered to himself: "My eldest son has been sacrificed. I have to protect my people, so that..."

"Asuma...Hokage, and...Konohamaru also want..."

"Everything I do is for the Leaf Village. The Hokage must be the most suitable candidate and must have strong basic support."

"I can no longer be like me, dancing on dozens of ninja eggs. No matter what I want to do, I can't do anything. I just scheming with those selfish ninjas all day long."

"The next Hokage can't do this again."

Sarutobi Hiruzen whispered, not knowing what he was thinking. He suddenly felt that the sun was too dazzling, and slowly backed away from the sunny window.

However, he did not return to his desk because the sunlight there was too strong. Finally, he walked to the dark area of ​​the office and sat down on the guest sofa.

Sarutobi Hiruzen buried himself deeply into the sofa, crossed his hands on his chest and abdomen, hid in the darkness, and looked at his desk without saying a word.

On the table, under the bright sunlight, the Hokage hat looked so bright and eye-catching.

…

Uchiha Izumi was tired from crying and fell into a deep sleep. Uchiha Sanae put the little sister on his bed and continued to dig the underground secret room. Suddenly, the worm unexpectedly discovered a special existence.

Moreover, this discovery is actually data that has been recorded in the insect swarm genes for a long time. It is Bai Jue, a good thing.

In the meta-timeline, after decades of tireless pursuit by Aburame Tetsumaru, all the White Zetsu who are still active have experienced extremely cruel elimination.

Strength, intelligence, eye color, sense of smell, even Bai Zetsu, who was relatively unlucky, were all captured by Aburame Tetsumaru using various means. In Zhou Wenming's various laboratories, he experienced things that ordinary people could never experience.

various experiences.

It's not a problem for Hakutsu Ahi to be obsessed with Raxiang. The descendant and incarnation of Aburame Tetsumaru can give him enough experience in just a few minutes.

Bai Jue, a living experimental product with extremely strong vitality and extremely strong drug resistance, is very popular among Zhou civilization.

As a result, when Uchiha Sanae became the Adventer, due to excessive hunting, the White Zetsu in the ninja world were almost extinct. In those few years, the number of captures was less than ten, making them very scarce.

Although Zhou Wenming found the root system of the sacred tree and even stole a lot of dormant White Jue, actual tests found that the dormant White Jue had no value at all before it was activated and was just a piece of wood in all aspects.

Therefore, Sanae Uchiha was never assigned to White Zetsu, so he could only follow the big guys like Gray Bones and Uzumaki with salivation.

But now she was pleasantly surprised to find that this stupid Bai Jue who had just appeared dared to stay where he was and secretly observe her.

"Hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey, is this Bai Zetsu who has never been hunted by the Duan Zi Jue Sun Net?"

Uchiha Sanae wiped off the unsatisfactory transparent liquid, pretended as if nothing had happened, quietly took out the White Zetsu capture net, and lowered this large net with micron-density mesh to the ground.

She suppressed her pounding heart and whispered a prayer: "Curious wild little Bai Jue, don't move. Sister's net will catch you soon..."

The White Zetsu catching net silently surrounded Uchiha Sanae. She couldn't bear it any longer. She cheered and started to drag the White Zetsu catching net. This ninja tool with the Earth Release and the technique of reflecting fish in the earth was successfully used.

Traveling through the soil.

It wasn't until the grid caught Bai Jue that the idiot-level Bai Jue realized the danger. He began to struggle crazily, like a two-hundred-jin fish.

The contest between Sanae and Bai Zetsu woke up Izumi. When she saw the transparent film being dragged deep into the ground, she couldn't help but ask: "Sanae sister, what are you doing?"

Uchiha Sanae was holding the big net tightly with both hands at this time, her whole body muscles were tense, and her whole body was shaking violently due to the brute force of Bai Zetsu's struggle. Only her feet stood on the ground, as stable as steel poured into iron.

.

Hearing the Uchiha girl's question, she shouted: "Izumi, come and help me, I got something good, hehe~~, this kind of wild guy is really energetic, what a good thing."

The girl quickly ran over and put her hands around Uchiha Sanae's waist to help her stabilize her body.

The girl's figure is very light, weighing less than thirty-five kilograms, but this weight immediately exerted a huge stabilizing effect on Uchiha Sanae.

"Aha! Well done, Izumi."

After Sanae stabilized her body, she could effectively use her brute strength. She used her excited hands to drag the White Zetsu capture net out of the ground.
