Ninja Ice House

That night, after putting the three children to sleep, Fusugi Fusui sat alone in the lounge of the study, drinking strong tea to refresh himself while looking at the information compiled from Kaguya Otsutsuki's words and worrying.

"If we had said this a year in advance, it might not have been so troublesome."

Gu Shanbu Shui, who sighed slightly, felt very sorry.

The so-called blood sacrifices can also be divided into three, six or nine grades. The worst ones are to use the flesh and blood of captive livestock and wild animals. Not only is the effect ineffective, it requires a huge amount, but it is also prone to accidents. The more excellent sacrifices are those who have

For smart ordinary people, the richer the emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, the easier it is to use. Among them, the easiest to stimulate is the mental explosion caused by pain and fear of death, which is simply the best catalyst for blood sacrifices; the best sacrifices

Most of them use the flesh and blood of powerful masters or simply the devout believers of the sacrificed person. The former provides huge energy, while the latter has the least rejection reaction and is very easy to resonate with the gods;

Among the best sacrifices that Otsutsuki Kaguya provided to Kosugi Bushui, none were the jinchūriki or the descendants of Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura.

Blood descendants, one is equivalent to ten, or even one is equivalent to a hundred, it is no problem.

Unfortunately, more than ten years have passed since the Third Ninja War, and the conditions for large-scale killings have passed, so we can only follow the "high-quality" route.

In just over a year, the Kaguya clan was wiped out by Kirigakure, leaving only Kaguya Kimimaro; the Uchiha clan also disappeared as expected, leaving only Uchiha on the surface.

Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi were two "fish that slipped through the net", and secretly there were dozens of lucky ones hidden in the Kingdom of Whirlpool by Fushibu Sui;

The bloodline of the Senju family was scattered in all directions many years ago and cannot be traced; the Uzumaki clan has been extinct for many years, and the remaining cats and dogs cannot do anything.

There is also an Otsutsuki Toneri on the moon, who is alone and not worth mentioning.

Calculated this way, either he died early, or he was a miscellaneous fish protected by the Gushan family and could not "kill" a few taels of meat, making him embarrassed and useless.

The only descendant of Kaguya Otsutsuki who has gathered in a large scale is the Hyuga family. They are backed by Konoha Village and it is difficult for them to start. The branch family and the main family are both prosperous and destructive. They don't care much about external affairs and are single-minded.

Living a small life behind closed doors is like a shrinking turtle shell, unable to find a place to strike.

If you want to capture a few jinchūriki to make up the numbers, the Kosugi family doesn't have that strength, so don't mention it.

"Either, secretly collect death row prisoners and act cautiously to avoid being discovered, or..."

The idea of ​​triggering the Fourth Ninja War in advance came to mind again, and was immediately suppressed.

It has been less than four years since the "Konoha Collapse Plan", now is not the time to make extraneous matters.

However, it is too difficult to carry out blood sacrifices without starting a war without anyone noticing.

"Either a large number of ordinary people or a small number of experts, it seems difficult to do it."

It is not advisable to kill innocent people at will. It goes against the values ​​​​and standards of good and evil of Gusugi Bosui. Then we can only look for opportunities in the large number of deaths that may occur in the ninja world but cannot be saved, and turn the originally meaningless deaths into

Make use of it at the expense of it.

"The Konoha Collapse Plan seems to be an opportunity, but the scale of the war is a bit small and may not be enough. The casualties caused by Pain's attack on the village and the destruction of Konoha seemed to be huge, but it was too late."

A few rebellious ninjas in the "Akatsuki" organization seemed to have accomplished feats of slaughtering villages and annihilating countries, but that was only a small country at the level of a small village, and there was no real bloodshed.

Just when Fusugi Fusui felt that there was nothing he could do, Otsutsuki Kaguya lost no time in reminding:

"It doesn't have to be done all at once. There are many ways to perform blood sacrifices. Explosive killings are indeed eye-catching, but the number is small. High-frequency deaths are actually okay."

"How can there be such a thing in the ninja world..."

Before he finished speaking, Gushan Bushui suddenly paused.

"It really does."

After reaching a dead end, the young family governor suddenly realized something in his heart.

Orochimaru, who is currently mainly active in the Oto Ninja Village, in order to select suitable tools and test subjects, almost every few days has a large-scale "gu raising" style killing, ranging from dozens of people to as many as two.

Of the three hundred people, not one out of ten survived.

Where did so many poor people who unfortunately fell into Orochimaru's hands come from?

Some of them are actively selected and recruited, most of them have good qualifications or skills, and even have blood inheritance limits; there are also many idiots such as the Feng Mo clan who take the initiative to send them to the door; the largest proportion are actually provided by "partners"

, the biggest mastermind behind this is the ambitious Daimyo Ta no Kuni.

Without official cooperation, hundreds or even thousands of people disappear every month. It is impossible to hide the disappearances, even if most of them are undocumented refugees, homeless beggars, bandits and robbers who deserve to die.

The murderer.

According to Arashi, who is in prison, every time he participates in a group fight to the death, he is a master who has gone through several rounds of competition to survive until now. The average strength is close to that of a chuunin, and some of them have powerful secret techniques and even blood inheritance limits.

The "demon" is not weak when facing ordinary jounin.

Being able to survive in such an environment actually proves that Lan's reputation as a "genius" is quite valuable.

"Orochimaru's 'gu farm' seems to be an opportunity. Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not impossible."

Otsutsuki Kaguya responded noncommittally:

"If you have the ability, you won't have to worry about killing Miaomu Mountain or Longdi Cave. Otherwise, just be ruthless and allow a few small countries to cause banditry and 'let it go' for a while, that's enough."

"This kind of...don't consider it."

Gu Shan Bu Shui waved his hand in disgust,

"I am not incompetent enough to ask ordinary people to sacrifice for me. If I let those weak bear a burden that should not be borne by them, doesn't it make me look too useless?"

"It's up to you. Anyway, the blood sacrifice must be as fast as possible, otherwise, there will not be enough time. Handing the wedge to you is only the first step. Finding a suitable 'container' is difficult in itself, and 'thawing' takes time and cooperation.

It's good to grow taller so as not to 'grow crookedly' and cause trouble."

"I know, I will seize the opportunity."

After perfunctorily dealing with Kaguya Otsutsuki, Kosugi Bosui took a few sips of tea and exhaled a few mouthfuls of turbid air.

"Originally, Lan's affairs were just casual, but now it seems that the importance there is quite high, and we need to pay attention to it."

A spy who infiltrates Orochimaru can also be very effective at the right time.

However, Arashi's identity is a bit restrictive. Every ninja force with some energy in the ninja world knows that Fushui Fusui supported the Fuuma clan to reorganize the Hoshi Ninja Village. If Arashi behaves abnormally, Orochimaru will inevitably associate him with the Fushigi family.

On the body.

"Let's keep it this way for now. We can only adapt to circumstances and see what we can do as we see fit."

…

When the cold wave just hit the east coast, the inland Konoha Village was already feeling a bit desolate in winter.

Kurama Yakumo's health has improved a lot. Not only has his pale face become much rosier, but as his physical strength and chakra volume have recovered, his amount of exercise has also increased. Kurama Yakumo has been trained and is growing faster than expected.

One thing is that not only has his strength improved, but his height is also close to or even higher than that of girls of the same age.

After finishing the morning exercise, Yuhi Hong massaged the students whose muscles were trembling as usual to relieve fatigue.

"In the future, you have to learn to adjust your physical condition by yourself. There will not always be suitable technicians around you. Ninja is a profession that needs to deal with all unexpected changes. In actual combat, there are not so many reasons to explain..."

"I understand, Teacher Hong."

The eldest lady of the Kurama family, who had a much more cheerful temperament, lazily turned over and sat up, and asked with a smile,

"I heard that you are also observing and learning as a ninja teacher. Are you preparing for next year's graduation season?"

"almost."

Confirming the student's judgment, Yuhi Hong responded calmly,

"There is still a big gap between knowing how to do it yourself and teaching others. I am just a novice with no experience, and I don't know if I can do it well."

"Don't worry, Teacher Hong. As long as you have this heart, there will definitely be no problem."

"I'd like to lend you some good words."

Xirihong sighed,

"When I think that I can influence the lives of three children who have just graduated, I feel a great responsibility."

"Teacher Hong, you have to be confident. Without your careful guidance, I wouldn't even be sure to continue my ninja rest, let alone graduate and become a ninja."

"Many novice teachers have the basics of teaching, but the students they are good at dealing with are different..."

Smiling, she patted Kurama Yakumo's young shoulder, and Yuhi Kurenai, who was still stuck at the chuunin level and could not be promoted, said,

"As a female ninja, sometimes it seems that the deterrence is not enough, and it is more difficult to reason with a few naughty children."

"If you feel the difficulty, that's a sign that you really care. If you have any questions, you can talk to me..."

"you?"

"Don't look down on me."

Yuhi Kurenai chuckled inadvertently, which made Kurama Yakumo a little unconvinced.

"My blood successor specializes in illusions. I have a huge advantage in understanding people's hearts. Although I don't understand it very well, I have seen a lot."

"You have indeed changed a lot recently."

Since being designed by Furugi Bushui to extract part of Idu's power, the pressure on the body from the strong mental power has been reduced a lot, which has made Kurama Yakumo, who had always felt very depressed, improve his mental state.

"Maybe he has made friends. That little guy Xianglin is really cute. He always acts like a little adult, worrying about family affairs, and often makes some inexplicable words come out of his mouth. However, he is still a good person, kind and enthusiastic.

Don’t laugh at the underachieving classmates, be polite..."

Precisely because he can vaguely sense the mental state of the people around him, he becomes more enthusiastic about true feelings. Kurama Yakumo still likes to deal with Xiang Rin. In addition, he also likes people like Hinata Hinata and Uzumaki Naruto.

Quite a favorable impression.

"Xianglin, that child doesn't seem to like me very much. Maybe it's because we're not familiar with him."

"Teacher Hong..."

Glancing meaningfully at Yuhi Kurenai who was speaking insincerely, Kurama Yakumo hesitated to speak, and finally said tentatively,

"I have dealt with Xianglin's father several times. That man is very mysterious."

"Young Master Gu Shan is a big shot. It is true that ordinary people cannot reach such a high level."

"It's not a matter of status."

Kurama Yakumo quickly added and explained,

"With my genjutsu-type blood inheritance limit, which has almost unfavorable past in the same field, I can't penetrate his superficial mental protection, which is enough to prove that there is a big secret in that person."

"You, you must not only look at the world with your eyes, but also with your heart. Although the illusion type blood inheritance limit is an extension of your perception, it cannot replace you to touch the reality of this world."

"All right."

Kurama Yakumo admitted that what Yuhiko-sensei said made sense, and, sensing the stronger mental fluctuations emanating from her body than before, he suppressed all his complaints.

At this moment, there was an urgent cry of eagles overhead, and the two of them looked up instinctively.

A few seconds later, Yuhi Kurenai, who observed the movement in the sky, said to Kurama Yakumo apologetically:

"It's a bit urgent. I have to go back. You will be responsible for the rest of the stretching activities. Can you go home by yourself later?"

"Don't worry, I can hold on."

After waving goodbye to the well-behaved student, Kurenai Yuhi disappeared with a teleportation technique and hurried back.

Twenty minutes later, Yuhi Hong knocked on the door and entered the Hokage House conference room. Seven or eight people were already seated inside.

"Everyone is here."

The third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting in the first place, coughed a few times, cleared his throat and said:

"Emergency mission, the elusive giant turtle island of Yunyin Village. In order to avoid the cold current going south and expand the foraging range, it approached the northwest corner of the Country of Uzumaki and the northern waters of the Country of Water. The passing Yun ninja reported that it was an accident. Uzumaki.

The country is worried and invites Konoha ninjas to come and take charge."

"It's this move again."

Everyone here is a senior ninja, and they know the style of Kumo nin very well. It is normal to test the bottom line from time to time. Once they do not encounter a tough counterattack, they will push further and demand more.

The residents of the Kingdom of Thunder who grew up in the lofty mountains of the north rarely have a humble character, and honesty is not a virtue that is promoted. All Kumo ninjas judge heroes based on success or failure, and don't care much about means, as long as they achieve their goals.

"Not only that, the Mist Ninja who responded reciprocally also sent a team to the north to confront each other. The weak Uzushio Village has no power to suppress the situation. As allies, we need to dispatch a group of elites who have no urgent tasks to go to the Country of Uzumaki.

have a look……"

Let’s not talk about whether we can fight or not. Border conflicts occasionally occur, but someone must calm down the situation. If the other party plays a card and you don’t follow it, the temptation may turn into a real invasion, and it will not end well at that time.

Following Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze, Yuhi Kurenai looked at the people present. Indeed, they were all jounin and senior chuunin who were on vacation recently or had no urgent missions. None of them were mediocre.

Perhaps Kurenai Yuhi is the one with the least qualifications. Being able to participate in such a meeting is actually everyone's recognition of her identity and strength.

Illusion masters are indeed rare and valuable.
