Chapter 514 The flame that burns the soul

Tsuruhime and Fujii Kusanagi suddenly came to Yichen to ask for advice on training issues.

Yichen was very curious about what happened to the two of them, because usually, even if they had problems, they would not rush to come to Yichen. After all, Yichen would definitely fulfill his obligations as an instructor in a few days.

The two of them came directly to the Tsuchikage Building. There were only two possibilities, either the problem was urgent or the problem was serious.

"Teacher Yichen, today I suddenly thought of using the flames of grass to cultivate my little bees." Heji, the upper stream, said.

"The flame of grass smoke is less powerful than normal flame. Even dry grass cannot be ignited. It is much safer. I thought it could cultivate the fire resistance of bees."

Yichen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said: "This is a good idea. Once successful, your little bee will have its first powerful ability."

But Shang Shuihe Heji said with a sad face: "But it failed. Although the flame of Kusanagi is not very hot, it can kill the little bees very quickly."

Yichen was stunned and said, "How is that possible?"

Yichen has tested it and found that the flame temperature of Fujii Kusanagi is lower than that of boiling water, that is to say, it is not even 100 degrees.

When Fujii Kusakaru used Fire Style to attack someone, the other person would only feel hot but would not be seriously injured.

It's impossible for this kind of flame to quickly burn a bee to death.

Fujii Kusanagi secretly glanced at Shang Shuiyue Tsuruhime, and then said with a smile: "Teacher Yichen, I don't know why, but Tsuruhime's little bees are obviously dead without even being burned."

Yichen thought for a moment and then said: "Try it again and let me see."

"Yeah." The two of them nodded in unison.

Heji in Shangshui River first released dozens of little bees and let them fly into the air.

Yichen took a look and nodded in his mind. The little bee was smaller again. It seemed that Shangshuihui Heji had been working hard to reduce the size of the little bee.

Then Fujii Kusakau quickly formed seals with his hands and performed the Fire Release-Hao Fireball technique.

Yichen saw the speed and number of seals formed by Fujii Kusakaru, and then sighed.

Fujii Kusakaru's progress is very obvious. If her flames are okay, her performance just now would be no worse than many fire-attribute chuunin.

Unfortunately, Yi Chen never found out what the problem was with Fujii Kusanagi's flame.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Yichen focused his attention on the dozens of bees, while maximizing his mind-eye perception.

The next moment, the flames came into contact with the little bees, and then under the gazes of Yichen and the others, the little bees suddenly struggled violently for a few times, and the next moment they all fell to the ground and died.

Yichen was a little dazed. He didn't see the problem, but this scene was so familiar.

Yichen recalled it for a moment and then remembered, yes, it was a will-o'-the-wisp!

Yichen once conducted experiments with will-o'-the-wisps and remembered that when the will-o'-the-wisps devoured the souls of small animals, those little animals looked like these little bees before they died.

"Could it be that Fujii Kusakaru's flames can attack the soul?" Yichen thought excitedly.

This discovery is so surprising.

Under the expectant gazes of the two children, Yichen thought for a while and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to do an experiment."

Soon, Yichen brought Fujii Kusanagi and Kamisui Tsuruhime to Katsumata and Natsuki's laboratory.

Considering that the will-o'-the-wisps and the sealed objects in the temple are both dangerous, this laboratory is isolated, with no other buildings around it and only a few ANBU teams guarding it.

Yichen led his two disciples into the laboratory. Behind the door was a hall.

Yichen first saw Xia Yue lying on the sofa in the corner of the hall reading a book.

Taking a glance, Yichen realized that what she was looking at was the secret technique of the mountain clan.

It seems that this girl is indeed working harder than before.

Seeing Yichen, Xia Yue did not get up, but simply said hello and asked: "Brother, why are you here?"

Yichen said: "I have something to do with you two, what about Sheng?"

"What about doing experiments inside?" Xia Yue said.

Yichen nodded and asked Tsuruji Kamisui and Kusakaru Fujii to stay in the hall for a while while he went to look for Sheng again inside the laboratory.

Yichen's positioning towards Shengmata and Xia Yue are somewhat different. Regarding Xia Yue, considering her talent, Yi Chen hopes that she will eventually become a combat ninja.

A combat ninja who is good at escape.

For Katsumata, Yichen hopes that he will become a research ninja, a theoretical ninja who can study how to practice Yin Escape for the Iwa Ninja Village.

Of course, there are also soul seals, which is also Katsumata's research direction.

Yichen walked into the experimental area from the hall, and found Katsumata in the temple who was repairing the seal of the stone statue.

This is the method that Katsumata came up with to identify the effect of the soul seal.

If after filling the gap on the statue, the strange feeling in the temple is reduced, it means that the seal is effective. Otherwise, it means that the seal has no effect.

Yichen called Shengyou and the three people in the hall to the laboratory where will-o'-wisps were studied.

Then take out the will-o'-the-wisp and let Fujii Kusakaru use fire escape on the will-o'-the-wisp.

Sure enough, after being hit by Fujii Kusa Kaoru's flame, the will-o'-the-wisp immediately began to run away as if it had been strongly stimulated.

After thinking about it, Yichen himself also used a fire escape. When Yichen's fire escape attacked the will-o'-the-wisp, it dodged, but its reaction was far less severe than when it hit Fujii Kusakaori.

"As expected, Cao Xun, your flames attack not the body, but the soul." Yi Chen concluded.

"Soul?" Fujii Kusakaru was puzzled. This obviously touched upon her blind spot in knowledge.

"Don't you understand? It's simple, let your senior brother Shengyou and sister Xia Yue teach you." Yichen turned to Shengyou and Xia Yue and said, "Shengyou, Xia Yue, I will leave this little junior sister to you."

After saying that, Yichen took Shangsui Tsuruhime and prepared to leave, leaving a confused Fujii Kusakaori behind.

Xia Yue immediately protested loudly: "Brother, how can you do this? We still have a lot of research work? Why are you so lazy that you even push the matter of teaching disciples to us?"

Yichen waved his hand and said: "This is the obligation of being a sister. If you don't believe me, go out and ask around. Whose sister didn't come here like this?"

Xia Yue shouted: "Nonsense, why haven't I heard of anyone who left his apprentice to his sister?"

Yichen said: "Do you still remember your sister Zhizihui? Didn't she leave you to her sister to take care of you? Today it's your turn to take care of others."

Xia Yue was stunned, remembering that when she first came here, it was indeed Tomoko Hui's sister who took care of her, and she suddenly became angry.

Seeing Xia Yue's defeat, Yi Chen laughed loudly and said, "Take good care of Cao Xun, help her understand the characteristics of her flame, and then teach her some basic knowledge of Yin Escape."

"Maybe she can help you with your research in the future."

After saying that, Yichen ruffled Xia Yue's hair vigorously and walked away.

Xia Yue was left behind, yelling and cursing his unreliable elder brother.

Fujii Kusakaru's problem suddenly made progress. Yichen was in a good mood. After sending Shang Shuiyue Tsuruhime back to the village, he also started practicing.

It happened that Fujii Kusakau was about to practice Yin Escape and Team 7 was unable to carry out the mission, so Yichen planned to go into seclusion to practice.

Since the last time he discussed light escape with Onoki, Yichen has never practiced light escape again.

When he was in Konoha, Yichen used light escape like a regular ninjutsu, and the effect was surprisingly good, which made Yichen pay more attention to light escape.

Yichen went into seclusion, and the ninja world temporarily stopped.

Everyone also needs time to take stock of what has happened in the ninja world recently.

For example, the Mist Ninja Village has been holding meetings since the night when Konoha Uchiha was exterminated.

It's just that the Mist Ninja Village was not involved in the Uchiha genocide from the beginning to the end, so it has never been able to clearly see the situation in Konoha.

I don’t know how many times this meeting was.

Guijiao first asked an intelligence ninja to introduce the situation to everyone: "Based on the intelligence from all parties, it is finally confirmed that there were a total of two battlefields on the night of Konoha's genocide."

"The first battle that night took place inside Konoha, and the result was that the Uchiha clan was wiped out. The second battle happened in the middle of the night and the next morning, and the result of this battle was that Suna Ninja Village was directly captured by Iwa Ninja."

"What is certain is that except for some of the Uchiha clan who slipped through the net in Iwa Ninja Village, the only two brothers left in Konoha are Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke."

"In addition, Uchiha Fugaku should be dead, but the whereabouts of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Izumi, who also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, are unknown."

"We also asked the Iwa Ninja, but the Iwa Ninja's attitude towards us was more subtle. Although he did not refuse, he did not immediately give us the information we wanted."

"Uchiha Itachi was pushed out by Konoha the next day and became the scapegoat for this incident. He is now listed as an S-class traitor."

"The Sand Ninja side is more clear. The thousands of troops that the Sand Ninja fought against the Iwa Ninja were completely wiped out, and Ryousuke was also killed in the battle."

"The third-generation Kazekage puppet that can control metal should have fallen into the hands of the Iwa ninja as expected. However, it seems that the one-tailed Jinchuuriki is still in the hands of the Sand ninja."

"In addition, during the attack on Sand Ninja this time, intelligence showed that another Kage-level warrior emerged from Iwa Ninja Village."

"Shinya Matsutani, who once supported us, is also a disciple of the Tsuchikage. He used senjutsu in that battle."

"It is said that the Kazekage and Raikage were both in Konoha that night. The Tsuchikage took advantage of the Kazekage's absence and Konoha's clones to attack the Sand Ninja Village."

"These are all the things that happened on the night of the Uchiha genocide. This information has basically been confirmed."

After a pause, the intelligence ninja continued: "The chaos in Konoha has not stopped since then. There is intelligence that shows that the Iwa ninja has been supporting Danzo."

"Danzo's rise to power was due to the cooperation of the Fujiwa ninja. The direct reason for Tsunade's resignation was that Hatake Kakashi killed a small group of Anbu."

"The real information on this matter is not yet clear, and there are not many insiders in Konoha. But this matter is not important now. With Tsunade stepping down and Danzo taking over, Hatake Kakashi has been cleared.

It's a crime."

"There is also definite information. Tsunade left the Leaf Village immediately after resigning as Hokage."

"The above is a series of major events that have happened in the ninja world recently."

Ghost Dragon waved his hand and said, "You go down first."

After the intelligence ninja left, Gui Jiao looked at the senior executives and said: "The chaos these days has finally been clarified. Now let's analyze the intelligence."

Mei Terumi said: "Let's first analyze the current changes in the number of Kage levels in each village: Iwa Ninja Village has an additional Matsutani Nobuya, plus the Uchiha Zaiji who has turned on the kaleidoscope, reaching a terrifying nine people."

"This number is too terrifying. Since the establishment of the Ninja Village, no village has ever reached this number. In some periods, the entire Ninja World did not even have this many Kage Levels."

"Then there is Suna Ninja Village. Ryousuke of Suna Ninja Village is most likely dead, leaving only Rasa. In this period when the number of Kage levels suddenly increases, Rasa can only shrink back."

"Then there is Konoha Village. The only confirmed Kage levels in Konoha are Danzo, the Sixth Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Kakashi Hatake."

"But considering Uchiha Shisui, whose whereabouts are unknown, and Uchiha Itachi, who was used as a scapegoat, there are five people in total. Uchiha should have a heart for Konoha."

"On the contrary, it's Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage. I don't think it's necessary to include it. After this incident, Tsunade's proud character may no longer work hard for Konoha."

"Finally, there is the Cloud Ninja Village and the Akatsuki Organization. They have not changed."

Everyone nodded, and Guijiao said: "I agree with this analysis."

Terumi Mei added: "Then there is the overall strength besides the shadow level."

"We don't have specific data on how many people were killed when the Iwa Ninja captured the Suna Ninja Village, but there were only a thousand people at most. The Iwa Ninja's losses were not huge."

"Iwa Ninja Village has been expanding its army in the past few years, and the number of ninjas will continue to increase. In addition to Earth Country, they also have many small and medium-sized countries supporting them, and they can indeed support so many ninjas."

"Looking at the Suna Ninja, after this battle, the main force has been lost. It will be impossible to recover in the next few years. The struggle for hegemony in the Ninja world can be ignored. Suna Ninja Village."

"Then there is Konoha. The losses caused by Konoha's internal fighting are definitely not small. Not only the entire Uchiha clan is dead, but also the casualties of the ninjas who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Uchiha clan are definitely not small."

"Although there is no data, it is certain that Konoha's vitality has been severely damaged, otherwise Konoha would not have signed the indemnity treaty with Iwa Ninja Village for no reason."

"Based on the analysis of these data, Iwa Ninja can completely ignore us now. As long as the Akatsuki organization and Iwa Ninja Village unite as a united front, the two of them can completely overpower the four of us."

"Fortunately, the demands of the Akatsuki organization have always been strange. They don't have much interest in participating in the Ninja World War."

"If a war breaks out between the Iwa ninja and us, they may not participate. So let's not consider the Akatsuki organization for now."

"In addition, under the current situation, Luo Sha is already frightened, and he will definitely choose to keep his head down and develop. Therefore, Sand Ninja Village will not be considered."

"In this way, Iwa Ninja Village is fully capable of fighting one against three. Even if we form an alliance with Konoha and Kumo Ninja Village, we will no longer be able to completely suppress Iwa Ninja Village."

Gui Jiao and others nodded and said: "Okay, Terumi Mei has made a thorough analysis. Next, let's discuss the issue of sides."

"The Iwa Ninja captured Suna Ninja Village. They have shown their ambition to unify the ninja world and have begun to take action. Should we continue to follow the Iwa Ninja Village?"

Everyone sank for a while, and then Ghost Full Moon said: "I think we should change our stance. It's not too late to suppress the development of Iwa Ninja Village from now on."

"With the momentum shown by the Iwa Ninja Village, in a few years, we can really wipe out three of our Ninja Villages by ourselves. Even if we change our stance by then, it will be too late."

Terumi Mei also nodded, she agreed with the ghost lamp full moon.

Shui Wuyue Ning thought more carefully and said: "If we choose to suppress the Iwa Ninja Village, by what method?"

Terumi Mei and Onito Mangetsu didn't understand what Minazuki Ning meant, so they both looked puzzled.

At this time, Master Yuan spoke: "Shui Wuyue Ning is right. We must have a clear direction when formulating strategic policies."

"The Tsuchikage has done a good job in this regard. Previously, the Iwa ninja had been suppressing the Suna ninja. Before this battle, the entire Suna ninja village, including retired ninjas, could only manage to make up so many ninjas."

"Why? Because every blow from the Iwa Ninja hit the Suna Ninja Village within seven inches."

"The weakest thing about Suna Ninja Village is funding. Suna Ninja are notoriously short of money."

"All the Tsuchikage's moves are aimed at this point. The Tsuchikage even won over the Daimyo of the Country of Wind and asked the Daimyo of the Country of Wind to reduce the Sand Ninja's military expenditure."

"It was only after such precise suppression that the Sand Ninja was defeated and defeated by the Iwa Ninja Village."

"If we want to work with Konoha and Kumonin to suppress Konoha, what specific method will we use?"

"It's a direct war, just like what we did against Konoha in the past few decades."

"It's still economic sanctions, just like the Iwa ninja against the Sand ninja."

"Or does anyone have any other ideas?"

Terumi Mei and Onito Mangetsu thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't think of a feasible method.

It is basically impossible to start a war immediately. The reason why Iwa Ninja dared to cause trouble several times is because the losses in the past Fifth Ninja World War were not large and the strength was not lost.

But among the others, only Kumo Ninja is slightly better, so they will definitely not be able to fight.

Not to mention economic sanctions. Now that the Iwa Ninja Village controls the trade of a small half of the ninja world, who can suppress whom?

After being silent for a long time, Terumi Mei still asked unwillingly: "Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch the Iwa Ninja Village become stronger and stronger?"

"Watch him destroy the Suna ninja today, the Cloud ninja tomorrow, and Konoha the day after tomorrow? In the end, we will also be destroyed?"

Shuiwu Yuening was speechless when faced with Meiming's question. He looked at Yuanshi, hoping that Yuanshi could come up with a good solution.

However, before Master Yuan could speak, Gui Deng Man Yue spoke first. He said, "Have you ever analyzed the age composition of these kage-level people in Iwa Ninja Village?"

"Onoki is from the older generation, Tsuchikage, Igura, and Ouzu are considered to be the middle generation, Kawakita, Matsutani Shinya, and Hayaki are from the next generation, and Han and Lao Murasaki are not counted as jinchūriki."

"The number of kage levels in Iwa Ninja Village is increasing with each generation. I'm wondering, in a few years, will the next generation in Iwa Ninja Village have more kage levels?"

"If we simply choose to suppress Iwa Ninja Village instead of weakening it with force, the number of Kage-level people in Iwa Ninja Village may increase faster than the four of our villages combined."

Shui Wuyue Ning was surprised when he heard this. He had not expected this. After a pause, he said: "Among the younger generations in the village, are there any who are worthy of focusing on training?"

Ghost Man Yue said with an ugly face: "My brother Shui Yue has a very good talent, but he was snatched away by that Uchiha and could not be saved last time."

Ghost Dragon said: "There is a man named Momochi Zabuza who is very good. I plan to give him a ninja sword. If he is cultivated well, there is still hope for him to become a Kage-level man."

"There is another one named Lin Jiao Yuri. He has a good talent and uses his thunder escape very well. But to reach the shadow level, unless there is a chance encounter, I don't think there is much hope."

"There is also a man named Chojuro. He is quite talented, but he is still young."

Everyone was silent. The foundation of Mist Ninja Village was originally very deep, but it was all wiped out by Uchiha Obito.

Otherwise, the fourth generation Mizukage Goju Yagura is still there, the Kaguya clan is still there, and the two tailed beasts are still there, the strength of the Kiri Ninja Village will not be much worse than the Iwa Ninja.

Master Yuan asked: "How is the recovery work of the Three-Tails and Six-Tails going?"

Ghost Jiao said: "The exact location of the Six-Tails has not been found yet, but it is almost there, but the Three-Tails has not been found yet."

Terumi Mei immediately asked: "Vulpix has been found? Where is it?"

Ghost Jiao said: "It has not been confirmed yet, but we already know that Vulpix has appeared in several places, and the ANBU is still investigating."

"Three Tails may have resurrected in the water. I haven't received any reports on the whereabouts of Three Tails yet."

Master Yuan sighed and said: "The three tails are too lazy. If it stays in a certain water area, it may be difficult to find."

"Let's do this. After recovering the Vulpix, let's directly mobilize the entire village to investigate all the large lakes and the waters around all the islands in the Water Country."

Shui Wuyue Ning was startled and said: "Mobilize the whole village? Isn't this movement too big and the price too high?"

Genshi said helplessly: "The ninja world is changing too fast, and we can't afford to wait. The younger generation of ninjas don't have many talents worth cultivating, so they can only rely on tailed beasts."

"After the Six-Tails is recovered, and Minazuki condenses, you will become the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki. The village is in urgent need of top combat power, and there is no time to cultivate Jinchuuriki from an early age."

Minazuki Ning nodded, he had planned to become a Jinchuuriki before he dealt with Goju Yagura.

Genshi continued: "The same goes for the Three-Tails. Find a suitable elite jounin to become a jinchūriki."

Ghost Dragon nodded and said, "I will arrange it."

Then he glanced at everyone and said: "I heard everyone's discussion just now. Each side of the two sides has advantages and disadvantages."

"I have decided to stand on the side of the Iwa Ninja Village. Even if I want to change my stance, I have to wait until the two tailed beasts are recovered."

"If we change our stance now, we will have no way out. Neither the Iwa Ninja Village nor the Tsuchikage will accept us anymore."

"But if we don't change our stance now, we can adjust our strategy at any time. Konoha and Kumo ninja are waiting for us to change our camp at any time."

"Besides, before the tailed beasts were recovered, our strength was not as good as that of Konoha and Kumo ninja. Even if we form an alliance, we are just younger brothers."

"But if we recycle the two tailed beasts and form an alliance with Konoha and Kumo ninja, then we will be the boss and have more say."

Master Yuan and others thought about it and agreed with Guijiao's decision.

Then Guijiao said: "Now Iwa Ninja Village's attitude towards us is very subtle. They didn't share the cake with us this time. I guess they are waiting for our decision."

"Since we have decided to continue to stand on the side of Iwa Ninja Village, we have to make some representations. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Terumi Mei frowned and said: "Iwa Ninja Village violated the covenant and directly started a war with Suna Ninja Village, one of the six major ninja villages, without the consent of the allies. They should give us an explanation."

"Why should we make concessions? The Tsuchikage is too overbearing."

However, Gui Deng Man Yue complained: "The relationship between a country and a country, or between a ninja village and a ninja village, cannot be bound by a covenant. It only relies on strength."

"Hmph." Terumi Mei snorted dissatisfiedly, but still agreed with Kiden Mangetsu's words and did not refute.

Gui Deng Man Yue continued: "Whether it's making concessions or strengthening alliances, it's useless. I do have a special idea."

"Didn't the Tsuchikage split up the Kingdom of Wind? The entire Kingdom of Wind is still under the rule of one daimyo. However, the military territory is managed by the Sand Ninja, Iwa Ninja, and Akatsuki organizations in different regions."

"We can follow the model of the Country of Wind and manage it in different areas in the Country of Yu and Iwa Ninja Village."

Shui Wuyue Ning suddenly said: "Man Yue, you mean to change the current chaotic situation of the three parties in the Kingdom of Tang, directly divide the territory and take charge of their own affairs, each ask the big names of the Kingdom of Tang for military expenses, and not interfere with each other?"

Ghost Jiao said: "This method is good. Since Iwa Ninja is implementing it in the Kingdom of Wind, I must like this model. We propose to take charge of the Country of Tang, and Iwa Ninja will definitely agree."

"At the same time, they can also understand that we have not changed our position."

"The most important thing is that not only will this not harm our interests, but it will also improve the situation of our troops stationed in Tang Country. It will serve multiple purposes with one stone."

Master Yuan thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so he nodded in agreement.

So Guijiao dispatched a large negotiation team to Iwa Ninja Village, openly discussing the matter of taking charge of Tang Country, but secretly stating his position.
