Ninja Ice House

On the top of a higher hill on the main island of Whirlpool Country, Aburame Shihui, wearing slender sunglasses and loose robes, stood on the top of a tree that had lost all its leaves, looking towards the distance where the sea and sky meet.

.

His eyes, hidden behind the lenses, made it impossible to see his emotions.

Although it is located in the northern seas, the Country of Whirlpool is right at the intersection of the cold current in the northwest and the warm ocean current in the east. It has abundant rainfall, a mild climate, a lot of land suitable for farming, and the land is quite fertile.

If fully developed, the cultivated land could feed tens or even hundreds of millions of people.

The biggest disadvantage of this place is that it is relatively small in area and has poor mineral resources. Oil and natural gas have not yet become the mainstream energy sources in the ninja world. Not to mention oil and natural gas. There is basically no coal and iron that are urgently needed to enter an industrial society. There is only great potential for fisheries.

It is an incredible gift from nature.

Of course, these are all general evaluations on land. No one can tell what is under the water. The current level of science and technology in the ninja world has not yet developed to the extent that it can fully utilize marine resources. There are only mermaid troops under Gusugi Fusui.

, some offshore mineral deposits can be mined.

A Whirlpool Country alone cannot achieve success, but if it is in the hands of another large force with a vast territory and rich resources, this isolated island country is also very valuable.

It was not the first time for Aburame Shihui to come to the Country of Whirlpools. She silently waited for the parasites used for reconnaissance to return, sighing slightly in her heart.

When I came here last time, this place was still a desolate and desolate land. Only the ruins and ruins told people that there once was a prosperous country here. After so many years, this land is finally full of life again.

After several days of investigation, the all-pervasive parasitic bugs roamed almost the entire country, but no special information was found.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, specifically asked to investigate whether the Furusugi family had any special arrangements here. So far, it seems to be quite normal.

Konoha Village has understood from the beginning that this kind of country, which is similar to an advanced base, is a very important winner, but it is not suitable to plant its roots here.

If it weren't for the fact that the steel fleet of the Kosugi family that spans the sea has really made such a big name in recent years, the Kumo ninja and Kiri ninja would never be so honest and helplessly watch the Uzumaki remnants and a lot of people whose identities are unclear settle here.

.

When it comes to special warfare, assassination plots, and sabotage behind enemy lines, secular aristocrats like the Kosugi family can't keep up with the ninja group in terms of courtship. However, if they show off their horses and horses, and fight with real swords and guns, even flesh and blood would not dare to stand in front of the guns easily.

target.

Three years ago, the Mist Ninja suffered a big loss. Although it was not widely publicized, for the ninjas who valued intelligence, they would definitely not let go of investigating every detail of this kind of thing.

The power of the giant ship's cannon calmed down the eager hearts of the ninjas a little.

The Ninja Village is very powerful, but the number of people is too small, and the military force of the secular government is not weak enough to be vulnerable. The throne of the "Old Dominators" is no longer as stable as before, but it is not so easy to be overthrown.

.

Because of this, when Kosugi Bushui supported the Hoshi Ninja Village and a series of affiliated forces in the ninja world, no one made any objections, because that was originally the traditional sphere of influence of the Kosugi family. "The Return of the King" will regain the past

Authority and resistance are not very great.

Strictly speaking, the territory of the Kingdom of Whirlpool is already an unclaimed land. Since no one has taken action, Gu Shan Bu Shui has been the first to reach out, and it is difficult for latecomers to stop it at will.

Over the years, there have been many opportunities to occupy this place, but no one has really taken it as their own. But when a big force that ignores the tacit understanding really appears and "plants the flag", it is already too late to "land on the beach".

"The important thing is not the value of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, but that if someone wants it, the forces that are qualified to take it for themselves will definitely take it."

Food only tastes good if you fight for it, and the same goes for spheres of influence. I don't have to pay attention to it, but if you try to grab it, I must take tit-for-tat action.

Cloud Hidden Village, Kirigakure Village and Konoha Village each sent a dozen elites to confront each other here. It is not really that sure of winning. It is just like the gambling on the card table. One party raises the bet, and the others must follow up, otherwise

Just give up and quit.

It happened that the key target that triggered the whirlpool of this battle, the Country of Whirlpool, acted like a normal person. It did not take the Kiri Ninja, Kumo Ninja, and Konoha Ninja to heart at all, and carried out the reconstruction work step by step.

After establishing a three-way relationship, it's just a formality, a few harsh words, and no fight at all?

From the current point of view, it seems to be like this.

However, after getting to know the big man Gu Shanbu Shui who was behind the scenes, Aburame Shihui had to think a little more.

Judging from the current defense of the country of vortex, it basically does not have the ability to protect itself.

The artillery position on the top of the city is indeed very powerful, the layout is reasonable, and the personnel are arranged very carefully. Even if the ninja army is approaching, it will have to suffer a certain amount of losses before it can be captured. However, a Jonin regiment fought with three or five people seriously injured or even fighting.

At the cost of death, by launching a surprise special attack, you can completely take down by surprise most of the professional soldiers who cannot even defeat Chuunin.

When a ninja reaches the jounin level, it begins the process of quantitative change to qualitative change. The destructive power of combat begins to increase sharply. A small-scale ninja army composed of a group of jounin can basically ignore the numerical advantage of ordinary people.

Without the advantage of firearms, the gap in combat power would be even wider.

"You can't take the initiative."

Aburame Shihui understood that the Insect Master Ninja Technique that she was good at was not very suitable for naval battles. In an island country with complex terrain like Whirlpool Country, its performance was still good.

The third generation of Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, asked Aburame Shihui to lead the team. It was obviously to implement a defensive counterattack strategy and not to compete for supremacy at sea.

With the nearly unsinkable sea base of Giant Turtle Island, Kumo Ninja clearly has the initiative. Of course, that "big bastard" who stays motionless all year round and sleeps when he is full, if he really dares to go ashore, the Konoha ninja and Kiri

I don't mind adding some color to it.

In fact, Kumo Ninja's water fighting ability is really average. Thunderbolt has the attribute of using water to spread the attack range, but in actual combat, it is not very useful. Not only the power will be weakened by water, but also friendly forces may be accidentally injured.

Shortcomings.

If it weren't for the ability of Thunder Release to paralyze hit enemies, Yun Ninja wouldn't be able to gain a sense of presence on the sea at all.

In previous ninja wars, the Kumo ninja always felt extremely powerful on paper, but in real fights, they would always fall apart due to various reasons, unable to display their strength and become embarrassed. In the end, they could barely survive by relying on their strong strength.

face.

It is generally believed in the ninja world that the Kingdom of Thunder is good at fighting, and the Kumo ninja are also extremely tough, but in fact, the way of fighting formations is no match for the Iwa ninja, the high-end power assault ability is not as good as the Kiri ninja, and the overall strength is inferior to that of Konohagakure.

.

In almost all battlefields, he failed to take full advantage of his advantages. Instead, he exposed his weaknesses and ended the war he started in an anticlimactic manner.

Just when he was thinking a lot, Aburame Shihui discovered from the information obtained from the parasitic bugs that the Country of Whirlpool actually allowed the Mist Ninja to enter its sphere of influence, and his expressionless face changed slightly.

"Really... spending some money to leave all the problems to our Konoha Village? It's amazing to have money!"

Expecting Party A's father to cooperate with him is a reality that all Party B hopes for but will never come to reality.

In terms of the sense of crisis, the Konoha ninjas who came all the way to "help" had a stronger sense than the master of the Uzumaki Country.

After hesitating for a moment, it turned out that his subordinates did not do anything extraordinary. Aburame Shihui made up his mind that as long as the Kiri ninja did not take the initiative to provoke, he would not get along with them.

After all, they are quasi-allies. Although they are very suspicious, we cannot destroy this unstable relationship.

At the same time, under the water tens of meters deep in the coastal waters of the Country of Whirlpools, where the sunlight is hard to reach, there are staggered corals and various fish and other marine life that inhabit them. From time to time, huge shadows swim by.

Several unknown fish-like creatures with long tails swung, dragging a submarine-like creature that was nearly 50 meters long towards an underwater port.

There is a spiraling corridor on the hollowed-out coral island. After leaving the water, hundreds of stairs go up. A dozen humanoid creatures with their scales and fish tails removed walked forward with a large number of young and immature faces.

Ten minutes later, we arrived at a large base covered by coral reefs and actually on the sea level.

"Even if you are a ninja, it is difficult to open this laboratory and it is not easy to use. However, you adapted quickly."

The leader Mu Ran smiled:

"You also have to adapt quickly. We don't know how long we will stay here. If the three parties confront each other for too long, I'm afraid the young master will personally intervene."

"We could have not come, but we are not afraid..."

"Who have you Uchiha been afraid of?"

Mu Ran couldn't help but sneer and said,

"It's best not to put those outrageous ideas into practice. We are just fulfilling our promise by providing you with shelter. I hope you also have a sense of contract. The noble chief has spent a lot of money to win a glimmer of hope for you, but

Don’t let down everyone’s expectations.”

"You don't need to remind us all the time, we are not ungrateful people."

"No grace..."

Kiran interrupted the other party rudely,

"It's cooperation, it's a transaction, and things should be done according to the rules. Although the young master does not really ask you to be a bull or a horse, in essence, you are the 'chips' mortgaged by Uchiha Fugaku, and both your body and soul belong to the young master.

all."

"you……"

The leader turned his head angrily, and the three magatama spinning in his eyes made the scarlet pupils look extremely enchanting.

I wanted to have an attack but didn't know where to start, so I had to give up.

Because everything Mu Ran said is true.

In essence, all the Uchiha tribesmen who were sent out by Uchiha Fugaku and received and resettled by Gusugi Bosui were "contract slaves". Before everyone left, they were self-shackled at the cost of a three-magatama Sharingan.

The boundaries of thinking. As long as Gusugi Bosui does not break his promise, these Uchiha people must be used for him.

However, after using the Forbidden Technique Izanami, one eye should be blinded, so why do many people still have a pair of three Magatama Sharingan eyes?

The mystery behind this is, to be honest, not worth mentioning.

Eye replacement is a very troublesome operation, but once there are successful cases, it will be much simpler to perform it again.

The blood relationship between the Uchiha people is very close, and the rejection reaction is very mild. With the help of the magical power of chakra, many side effects can be offset.

Here, there are as many blind victims as there are pairs of three magatama Uchiha.

This small act of artificially halving the number of "tools" available to Furugi Bushui once made some people look down upon it. Even when Furusugi Bushui gave up part of himself and dedicated his Sharingan to his tribe,

When guys transplanted eyeballs grown using biotechnology, they caused a lot of criticism.

Because the Konoha ninja came to the Whirlpool Country, the Uchiha survivors who originally settled here had to find another place to settle.

Aburame Shihui is a ruthless character, and the detection ability of the parasitic bugs is too strong. Gushan Bushui can't guarantee whether these unruly guys will be discovered, so he simply temporarily moves them to a secret place.

…

"I think it would be better to sacrifice them as sacrifices and use the 'waste'."

"After all, it's your descendants who don't know how many generations, and they don't have any compassion at all."

Kosugi Fusui smiled and rejected Otsutsuki Kaguya's suggestion.

Since he promised Uchiha Fugaku to leave some life for this unfortunate family, Fusugi Fusui did not want to break his promise easily.

"It has its uses. If they can stay in the Country of Whirlpool with peace of mind, breed a new family by themselves, and change their names and start over, that would be a good idea."

"You think they seem to be keeping to themselves?"

Otsutsuki Kaguya curled her lips in disdain, not thinking highly of her blood descendants at all.

"What's more, once the Sharingan is awakened, it's difficult to hide them. You can't keep leaving them in such a ghost place, right? If they are useless, no matter how potential they are, they are worthless."

"I actually have an idea, but I haven't thought it through completely yet. I'll tell you when the time is right."

Ignoring Otsutsuki Kaguya's curious attitude, Furugi Fusui stood at a high place and saw the performance of the Uchiha survivors through the one-way glass.

"Even if it's useless, then it's good for them to leave a few children. They are all young people of the right age. They are exactly the age of Zhimu Shaoai. They can work hard and make a fire. It is normal to have an unexpected pregnancy."

"Hey, the humanity you are so proud of is becoming increasingly indifferent. Isn't it a bit inhumane to regard these people as breeding tools?"

"I just said this casually. The power of the Sharingan has spread. I am just curious about the Sharingan possessed by the mermaid clan reproduced through artificial insemination and the Uchiha clan of 'Nemasa Akira'.

What's the difference?"

As for why the initially optimistic attitude has turned into a very cold or even bad attitude, Gusugi Bosui has gradually come to understand the difficulties faced by the top management of Konoha Village.

In terms of their ability to commit suicide, the Uchiha clan's level of madness is definitely second to none in the ninja world.

"When will you 'confes' to me, bring 'that person' to see me, and when will you give them equal cooperation status? Now, there is no rush."
