Helping each other with countless me

Turtle Island

Real Waterfall

At this moment, Saiyu Meiling is in the real waterfall, or the core of the real waterfall.

The reason why this waterfall has the ability to make people face their inner demons is because of the water here, and the reason why the water here has such an ability is because of something that their Saiyu clan once got.

Questioning the Heart.

Silver Horn of Cloud Ninja has the legendary Six Paths Ninja Tools, a total of six.

But who said that the Six Paths Sage can only make six ninja tools in his lifetime?

At least, with the Questioning Heart of their Saiyu clan, these Six Paths Ninja Tools, a total of seven.

"Huh"

After taking a few breaths, Saiyu Meiling stepped to the deepest part of the waterfall, where a stone soaked in water stood, and on the stone, a palm-sized mirror was inlaid, which was the Questioning Heart of their Saiyu clan.

As for why such a precious thing was placed here.

The reason is very simple. Each of the Six Paths Ninja Tools has powerful abilities, but at the same time, it also has its own shackles. It may require a huge amount of chakra, or it may need to meet certain rules, or it may require several ninja tools to work together to exert its maximum power.

And the prerequisite for using this Questioning Heart Realm is that the user must first be questioned.

Only if it succeeds can it use its power.

If it fails, it will not be as lucky as the real waterfall outside, and there will be a chance to come again, but it will be trapped in the mirror forever. For so many years, their Sai Liu family has always wanted to try to break through this level, but unfortunately no one succeeded, and none of the ancestors who failed could come out of the mirror.

She, don't even think about it. It is impossible for her to succeed after living in luxury for so many years.

Of course, if they, the Sai Liu family, can form an alliance with the Ai family, they would not have the status they have today if they did not have any ability. That's right, the Sai Liu family has a secret technique that can skip the shackles of the Questioning Heart Realm and directly control the Questioning Heart Realm.

This secret will only be passed from the previous clan leader to the next clan leader when each generation of clan leaders takes over.

The core of the secret is actually two words, blood sacrifice.

Of course, the things that are said to be made by the Six Paths Sage will not be so evil. This is actually a loophole discovered by her ancestors. As long as they pay a life of their Sai Liu clan, they can make the "test user" function temporarily unavailable. Then, they can use the ability of the questioning state. The price is that this ability will be weakened a little. However, no matter how much it is weakened, it is still a six-path ninja tool, which is enough to deal with ninjas.

In fact, her ancestor, the clan leader who founded the Sai Liu clan, traveled all over the ninja world and spent a lot of money to contract the giant turtle. He wanted to increase the blood of their Sai Liu family through spiritualism, and then sacrifice the Sai Liu clan to use the ability of the questioning state when needed.

After the establishment of Kumogakure Village, this mirror naturally had no place to use. Fighting and the like no longer required the Saiyu clan to contribute. Before the establishment of Kumogakure, they sacrificed their clan members, and after the establishment of Kumogakure, they still sacrificed their clan members. Then the establishment of Kumogakure was in vain.

But now.

Saiyu Meiling took a deep breath and grasped the cold state of mind.

She didn't want to die.

She didn't want to lose her freedom.

She liked her current life.

She could foresee a more extravagant life in the future.

So, she could only apologize to her clan members and her son——

"I declare!"

"I will become the new Kage of Kumogakure and inherit the title of Ai!!!"

Kumogakure has changed.

This is what all Kumogakure ninjas think in their hearts.

However, they were not difficult to accept this matter. After all, the third generation fought hard with the Eight-Tails for three hours and did not die on the spot.

Therefore, when the top leaders of Kumogakure announced that the Sandaime died of serious injuries in the battle with the Eight-Tails, and the Sandaime's son inherited the title of Ai and became the Fourth Ai, they just felt that it was unexpected but reasonable, especially when the Fourth Ai showed off his powerful Lightning Chakra coat in public. Although there is still a gap compared to the Sandaime, after taking this step, it means that the Fourth Ai has a smooth road ahead as long as he keeps accumulating.

In a few years, this will be the next Sandaime, who will be able to lead them to continue to dominate the ninja world!

Therefore, this time the excessive power did not cause any disturbance. After all, everything was the same as before, and no one's interests were touched.

"Finally."

The Fourth Ai slapped the table heavily to cover up the nervousness of his first speech in front of so many people.

"Because my father's adopted son, Minato Namikaze, has established contact and communication with the distant Wind Country through his special abilities based on the Shimogoku Channel Thirty-three Group and the organization Minato Namikaze. In the future, if we can benefit from this exchange, I will invest all of the part that belongs to Kumogakure into the Ninja School, and strive to give more civilians the opportunity to become ninjas."

"Xiao Ai. No, the Fourth Generation has grown up."

In the dark, Dodai, who was watching this scene quietly, had tears in his eyes.

"Yes, he has grown up."

On the side, Mabroth nodded.

Although it was just a simple stick and carrot, when he was the Fourth Generation, these words were weighty.

And, more importantly, he did not insist on increasing the budget of the Ninja School.

The reason is very simple. The money has not arrived yet.

What if Minato Namikaze uses various excuses to delay the payment?

Then the disappointment and resentment of the civilian class will be transferred to the fourth generation. On the contrary, he seems to give the credit to Minato Namikaze, but if he does not take out the money, his reputation in the village will also be reduced.

"It's a pity that such growth comes at the cost of death."

As he said this, Mabrot wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. It is true that he is the secretary of the third generation, but they also grew up together and have a deep friendship. He agrees with the third generation in his heart, except that he did not discuss it with anyone at the beginning and killed other branches of the Ai family.

However, there is a reason for this.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku are both members of the Ai family. Because of their recklessness, not only did the father of the Sandaime die, but the entire Kumogaku also lost five Six Paths Ninja Tools. In fact, Mabrot has always believed that the God of Ninja did not intend to continue to unify the ninja world because their Kumogakure had six Six Paths Ninja Tools, which were no less intimidating than their Konoha. Unfortunately, the death of Kinkaku and Ginkaku took away all the ninja tools. Fortunately, there was no more God of Ninja in Konoha.

"So, Mabu."

"Hmm?"

"Do you believe that the Sandaime died suddenly from his injuries?"

"I don't believe it, but it must be like this, isn't it?"

"Haha, it seems that you also smelled it that day."

"Fuck."

Mabrot spat.

"How can a man not be familiar with that smell? The third generation, he was angry to death, but this matter is not something we should interfere with."

"I understand, but as former subjects, we also have to share the sorrow of the deceased leader."

"For example?"

"I know this woman, Sairu Meiling, too well."

Touchai narrowed his only eye slightly, staring at Sairu Meiling standing next to the fourth generation.

"In her heart, she is the first. No matter how much she loves the Fourth Hokage, she will never surrender when the Fourth Hokage threatens her. Even though the Fourth Hokage should know everything, he will never be completely on guard against his own mother."

"Hey, Dodai, do you want to..."

"Well, I will kill that woman, and then apologize to the Fourth Hokage and let him deal with it."

"Dodai!"

"You don't have to persuade me. I know what you mean. Any jonin can kill her, but she is the Fourth Hokage's mother after all. Someone always needs to take responsibility. At the same time, the reputation of the Third Hokage cannot be tarnished. This person can only be me. In the future, I will trouble you to help take care of the Dodai family."

--

Late at night, Dodai came to the mansion of Saiyu Meiling quietly. Perhaps because he was in the safest place in Kumogakure, or perhaps because Saiyu Meiling had never thought that someone would dare to assassinate him, the security here was not strict, and he easily sneaked in.

However, just as he was about to sneak into the bedroom of Saiyu Meiling, a big hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Uncle Dodai."

"The Fourth Hokage?"

Dodai instinctively turned his head and looked at the Fourth Hokage with red eyes. Compared with the high-spirited Fourth Hokage during the day, he was a completely different person.

"Come with me, Uncle Dodai."

"You know, that woman...she will do something to you."

The top of the Kumogakure office building.

The wind on the rooftop was blowing, and lightning could be seen from time to time in the distance, but the buildings of Kumogakure were specially designed to ensure that no matter how thunder strikes, it will not hit the buildings.

"I know."

Facing the wind and looking into the distance, the Fourth Hokage nodded.

"Mother must have known that her affairs were exposed. She wanted to protect that man and her own position, so she used the secret of the Seryu family."

"What secret?"

"Six Paths Ninja Tool."

"Six Paths Ninja Tool in her hands?"

"No, it has always been theirs, the Six Paths Ninja Tool that belongs only to them, the Questioning Heart State."

"What ability does it have?"

"The person who is reflected by the mirror will have his or her 'self' captured in the mirror and be tested. If you fail the test, you will never be able to come out."

"Wait... Self-Real Waterfall?"

"Yes, the Real Waterfall is due to it."

"But, in that case, wouldn't you become a 'fool'? Anyone can see the flaws."

"There is another 'me'."

"Dark Self?"

"Let's call it that. After being affected by the Questioning Heart State, , another 'I' will appear. He will know everything I know, and he knows everything I know. Moreover, it cannot disobey the user of the Questioning Heart State, even if he wants to. "

"Ah this."

Tottoi couldn't help thinking about such a scene. He could only say that it was worthy of being the Six Paths Ninja Tool. Even if it was the God of Ninja, it would take time to unlock it after being illuminated. During this period, the holder of the mirror could control the God of Ninja to do anything.

"Fourth generation, since you already know it, why stop me? Please allow me to be loyal to the Ai family."

"Uncle Tottoi."

"My father died, and then my mother died soon after. No one would think it was an accident. I don't want my father to be wise all his life, but end up with a laughing stock in the end."

"Then do you plan to steal the mirror?"

"No, I want to satisfy my mother."

"Fourth generation!!"

"Uncle Tutai, listen to me."

The fourth generation Ai took a deep breath and clenched his fist.

"It is reasonable for a mother of Ying who is free from shackles to make mistakes. I need her to do this to preserve my father's wisdom."

"What about Kumogakure? Are you sure you can pass the state of questioning? You know, even if it is that waterfall, few people can pass it!"

"The use of that mirror has a price. One person must be sacrificed in blood every year."

The fourth generation Ai stretched out a finger.

"All the people of the Sailu family are in the village. You just need to catch all the people of the Sailu family at the right time. When the time comes, I will come back naturally. I believe that in a year, with her personality, she should make many mistakes, enough for me to convict her."

"But. This risk is too great. Moreover, you also said that you also know all this."

"That is the complete version of the questioning state. The questioning state activated by blood sacrifice cannot be so perfect. That me is more like a puppet. He will make reasonable reactions to the outside world, but if no one asks him, he will not say what I think in my heart. If I behave normally enough, my mother will not think that I already know about this. "

"Okay, I know."

After pondering for a long time, Tutai did not refuse. He knew that although he could disobey the orders of the Fourth Hokage, this matter would also leave a huge flaw in the heart of the Fourth Hokage. In other words, this suffering and this danger are the price of the Fourth Hokage and his mother's severance of ties.

"Please rest assured that in the year you are away, I will protect Yunyin at the cost of my life."

PS: A small bug in Chapter 139, the share of selling tobacco leaves is changed to 50-50, otherwise, the money is a bit too much.

One update.

I don't know what happened today, the child insisted that I coax him to sleep

It seems that he was scared. When I left, my hands and feet were sweating.

Tomorrow, I guess I have to find a great immortal to take a look? Ha.
