Ninja Ice House

Uchiha Sasuke, who is at the center of the storm, is still fighting in the "King of Fighters" challenge.

Relying on superior intelligence capabilities and proper tactics than ordinary contestants, they successfully emerged from the semi-finals. Sasuke Uchiha, Neji Hinata and Kaoru also breathed a sigh of relief.

The buffer period of the next two days is the day when the winner of the "Youth Category" final will be determined.

Uzami, who has emerged among all age groups, has also successfully attracted the attention of many competitors.

There are still many talented young people with strong explosive ability. There are not just one or two children who can perform well in all age groups and win a few games heartily, but there are very few who can win steadily and help their teammates advance.

Strictly speaking, the physical strength and chakra capacity of young children do not allow them to go very far in the highly competitive all-age group.

In the past, there were no lone rangers with outstanding personal combat capabilities who wanted to play a good show to the end with two oil bottles. As a result, most of them were taught by reality to behave.

The influence of individual competitions is now far less than that of team competitions. The root cause is that the audience is completely uninterested in most strong and weak duels.

A truly ambitious master will not give up on the team competition while participating in the individual competition. The so-called master who has not experienced the terrible competition in the team competition is unconvincing.

Uchiha Sasuke, Hinata Neji and Kaoru's team did not take first place in the rematch, but ended up in third place with a small points disadvantage.

This ranking not only does not damage their reputation, but also makes the audience look at them with admiration.

Without a monster-level master like Kaguya Kimimaro, it is not easy for three children in their early teens to reach this point.

In the youth group competition, the team composed of Uzami, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino was still very competitive. In the rematch, they had some reservations and ranked second. In the finals, they were full of firepower and defeated the first team.

Many young talents have successfully reached the top.

For the first time, Inuzuka Kiba experienced the thrill of winning in front of everyone. He was so proud that he almost looked at people with his nostrils. He was overjoyed while holding the trophy made of precious titanium alloy.

Aburame Shino, who came out victorious in the first battle, didn't look too excited on the surface. His frequent movements of pushing up the frames of his glasses also showed his inner uneasiness.

Only Uzuomi had a gentle smile on her face, quietly accepting the cheers from others.

As the elder sister, Hana Inuzuka took several photos with her camera, and then led her younger brother and his teammates to celebrate and prepare for a big meal.

After the lively prelude, the final showdown of the all-age group team competition is about to begin.

A few hundred meters away, in the internal laboratory of the Furugi family, a sealing experiment had just concluded. The embryo fused with a special alien bloodline obtained from Orochimaru was sealed into the body of a mermaid. Fushibu Shui returned.

In the lounge, take a short break and refresh yourself.

Some research can be done by subordinates, but some still have to be done by oneself.

"Next year, let's transfer Tianzhi back from the Kingdom of the Sea. It's still a bit inconvenient to be too far away. The laboratory in the Kingdom of Waves also needs to strengthen confidentiality measures. It is penetrated by the "Root" organization like a sieve. Some

I can’t even entrust them with the “outsourcing” work..."

"It's actually okay."

Otsutsuki Kaguya said nonchalantly,

"There...is unable to decipher the secrets of the "Wedge" and the Otsutsuki clan's bloodline. The superficial research results are of no use at all."

"This is not a question of whether it is useful, but a question of whether to counterattack. Danzo Shimura's value is actually very limited, and we no longer need to compromise with him. It's just that it's hard to fall out."

[An app that has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old book-chasing tool. It is used by all old bookworms.

He no longer looked like he was when he was seriously injured, his strength was greatly reduced, and he was cautious.

Once he really steals the power of Konoha Village, I'm afraid he will really confront the Furusugi family.

Of course, the current "Darkness of the Ninja World" is still very talkative, hiding its cruelty and tough attitude very well.

This is also true. It is unrealistic to expect that two forces whose core interests are not completely consistent can really work together.

The recent good news is that Sora was finally found by Orochimaru.

That child had many, many backhands left behind by Gu Shan Bu Shui in the early days. I never thought of using that child in this way at first.

However, his biological father was not considerate of him, and Gushan Bushui, an outsider, was even more lazy to care too much.

The more traps are set on Orochimaru, the more at ease Kosugi Bosui feels.

It would be perfect if this top-notch research scholar in the ninja world could really fully develop the value of his mind.

Fighting and killing is really a waste of Orochimaru's talent.

Want the Sharingan?

Although Uchiha Sasuke was good, the others were not bad either, so there was no need to hang himself on that tree.

There are still many mysteries worth studying in the ninja world, and the Sharingan is not worth losing his life for.

The secrets in Kong's body were enough for him to study for half a lifetime.

"You really think highly of that insidious guy. Even Konoha Village can't keep him. Do you think you can hold him in your hands?"

Gushan Bushui denied this statement.

"It's impossible. That kind of person will only be loyal to his true heart, as well as his uncontrollable curiosity and desire for research. Sooner or later, all constraints will be broken by him..."

As long as Orochimaru can contribute his wisdom, Kosugi Bosui doesn't mind whether he is controlled by him or not.

Anyway, what the Gushan family needs is only his research results, not him.

…

While Kosugi Fusui was busy preparing for the grand event in his family's land, Baiyun Yeshan took Shiro, Xiaoxi and Yayoi, who had almost recovered, to visit the local client, and then left early in the morning and returned late at night to rush to the beach one by one suspiciously.

In the pirate lair, these harmful villains were wiped out, and then they returned to Konoha Village smoothly.

Regarding the accident that happened on the road, Baiyun Hayama did not hide it and reported it to Sarutobi Hiruzen in detail.

After returning, Yayoi went through a detailed examination at the Konohagakure Hospital. After no hidden dangers were found, Baiyun Yeshan sent part of the loot, the jet black spear and related flesh and blood tissue to the laboratory for analysis.

Soon, it was confirmed that there was no problem with the jet black spear. After Baiyun Yeshan hawked it in a small circle, he exchanged money and distributed it to three students as a consolation for the false alarm.

However, there has been no result regarding the body fragments of Hidan and Kakuzu.

After waiting for some time, there was no reply from Baiyun Yeshan District. He asked the Hokage Sandaime about the situation, but was told that the matter needed to be kept confidential.

After being a ninja for so many years, Baiyun Yeshan will certainly not pursue him. It is obvious that there is a secret that even a jounin like himself should not know. I am afraid it is really not simple.

"Then... there is still some remains in Bai's hand. Should I take them back or destroy them?"

"Since it is a trophy, let him keep it. There is no danger for the time being..."

At the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not take the accident encountered by Baiyun Hayama's team to heart. In the process of completing the mission, it is very common for some unexpected disturbances to occur.

It's not very peaceful outside. We've been attacked by some strange people. Senior ninjas have encountered them at some point.

However, when the report came from the laboratory, even the well-informed Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised.

One part is an extremely activated blood vessel fragment, and the other part is an arm tissue that has almost unlimited vitality and has not completely died until now.

The medical ninja who performed the test hurriedly reported it, and after many tests, he found that there was no error.

Moreover, those are not Hashirama cells, but another completely different, almost "immortal" cell.

After reading the information about Baiyun Yeshan several times and combining it with other supporting evidence, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to a rather surprising conclusion.

"The Baiyun Yeshan team almost broke into the center of the battle between the two strong men. Moreover, they were far away and were also affected by the aftermath."

It was not a sudden attack, but an encounter in which the defeated party fled in a hurry and happened to encounter the Konoha ninjas.

In other words, Baiyun Yeshan team is just a fish in the pond that was unfortunately affected.

"Is it most likely that there was a conflict between the Mist Ninja and that mysterious organization? But why did the two parties, who had never interacted with each other, fight in the Bear Country? Was the Furusugi family involved?"

Now that things have happened, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually has some regrets. Furusugi Bosui has supported various small countries to build friendship with the Furusugi family, and his influence has gradually grown to the point where even Konoha ninjas have to look up to others.

Within the Land of Fire, Konoha ninjas are very active. Beyond the national borders, the former tributary countries and buffer zones are no longer able to be controlled indirectly as they were in the past.

To put it bluntly, it was the result of Konoha Village suffering from successive catastrophes, lack of strength, and gradually shrinking influence on the outside world.

Now the rise of the Furusugi family has filled the void left by the retreat of Konoha ninjas.

It's difficult to go back.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps in the office of the Hokage House. He knocked on the door, opened the door without waiting for a response, and walked in.

"Sandaime, what's the emergency with me?"

Not caring about Shimura Danzo's impoliteness, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed over the information in his hand.

"You take a look first!"

A few minutes later, Danzo Shimura asked with some enthusiasm:

"Where did these things come from?"

"I don't know! Apart from the Shodaime, this is the first time I have discovered such a strange life form. Although I don't know how far you have achieved it, you still know a little bit about secretly studying wood escape. Now,

Are you still continuing?"

Danzo Shimura shook his head slightly and did not answer directly, not wanting to follow the truth.

"Do you think this...cell is valuable?"

"It's hard to say!"

Shimura Danzo answered very cautiously,

"All power does not come out of nothing, it must have a source. Although this power is not large, but the source of vitality seems to have never been cut off, there must be a quite terrifying existence behind it. Perhaps, that is the real one.

god……"

"Okay, don't say this again. You know that what I'm discussing with you is not about gods, monsters, and the like."

"Want me to try?"

"If possible! Don't you have a similar amphibious ninja project that Orochimaru presided over back then? In the Land of Waves, with the support of the Furusugi family, it seems to have achieved great results..."

"Um?"

Although I didn't think I could hide it from the current Hokage forever, it's a bit strange that Sarutobi Hiruzen found out so quickly and in such detail.

"Your information is really well-informed. Yes, there are some things that are difficult for you to do. I will do it. If it is not suitable in the village, just go outside the village. The Fire Country is too conspicuous, and there are many buffer zones in the surrounding small countries.

"

In fact, not only the amphibious ninjas of the Kingdom of the Sea, but also the Kingdom of Sichuan, the Kingdom of Bears, the Kingdom of Tea, the Kingdom of Grass, the Kingdom of Tang, and the Leaf Village all had similar plans, but most of them failed and disappeared silently.

In the dust of history.

If the two most powerful people in Konohagakure knew that outside the research institute of Wave Country, the amphibious ninja laboratory that should have disappeared long ago was still operating, and even caused huge troubles, I'm afraid they wouldn't be like now.

So calm.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't have the energy to argue with Shimura Danzo about some details, but simply left the matter to him.

in addition……

"Try not to harm innocent lives."

"knew."

Shimura Danzo's face was blank, but he couldn't help but laugh sarcastically in his heart.

think

You want to produce results, but you don't want to make sacrifices, and you don't even want to get your hands dirty. You really have the style of the current Hokage.

"The so-called "Darkness of the Ninja World" does this kind of dirty work. Just leave the things to me, and I will arrange the rest..."

"Sorry to trouble you."

The Hokage Sandaime who said that sighed and responded,

"By the way, how are you physically? It's not easy to recover from such a serious injury..."

"Don't worry, even if you die, I won't die."

With the use of various rare medicinal materials, Shimura Danzo, who was originally declining due to the conflict between body and soul, began to regain his vitality.

It's just that this time, the future of this body has really been overdrawn. At the moment of collapse, if he doesn't change his body, Danzo Shimura will face the end.

After explaining the troublesome matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen called in Mito Kaden and Koharu Koharu to discuss the matter of settling the interest on the Furusugi family's debt.

Every once in a while, Konoha Village will pay a large amount of money to compensate for the expenses of the reconstruction plan supported by the Furusugi family.

Various home buying plans in the village have been launched one after another, and a large number of Konoha ninjas who have spare money and want to improve their living conditions are buying houses one after another.

The loan interest rates offered by the Gushan family's bank are not high, but they are not cheap either.

Overall, everyone in Konoha Village is quite satisfied.

The only thing is that the self-esteem of Konoha Village, which is bound by all parties, seems to have dropped a lot. There is not much left in the monthly income to pay off the principal and interest in installments.

"It must be open source, and I have already thought about the method, which is to expand the size of the village..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this.
