Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

Chapter 283 Backing off

In one light and another in the dark, there were a hundred jounin in total who were going to undergo the operation.

The third generation will take 20% of them as soon as they open their mouth, which is twenty places.

This number is enough to turn most jounin in ANBU into more powerful wooden ninjas.

Naturally, the few people present had no objections.

If divided by strength, the Hokage Anbu is considered the largest and most elite force in Konoha, so it should naturally be given priority.

This means that after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Anbu's vitality has not been fully restored. Otherwise, the third generation's share would be even greater at this time.

"..."

Koharu and Mito Kadeni looked at each other as they went to bed, and the former said, "The number doesn't matter, but the order needs to be discussed again. It is impossible to finish all the tasks for the ANBU jounin before doing them for other ninjas."

In the final analysis, although many methods will be used next, it is still unclear whether it can really be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Akatsuki organization.

In this case, if all the early quotas are given to the Hokage series, then if a battle breaks out, will the Anbu have to take the lead first?

The answer is of course yes, otherwise the eating appearance would be too ugly and would make the ninja clan and civilian ninjas feel resentful.

The two of them said this to remind the third generation not to be too greedy and get carried away by the 'physical enhancement surgery'.

"I have my own thoughts on this matter." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly and said slowly, "The Jonin who need surgery in ANBU will be at the front, but they will be evenly distributed among the one hundred numbers..."

In fact, from a rational point of view, let all ANBU jounin complete the surgery first, and then it will have greater effect in possible wars.

But human nature pushes reality to an option that is neither good nor bad.

Danzo's eyelids drooped and he glanced at the third generation who was discussing with the Hokage advisor, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

In the past, with his complete roots, he would have been able to be like the third generation, taking advantage and acting well.

Over the past year, although relying on the smuggling deal with the Grass Ninja Alliance, the roots have regained some strength.

But humans are not like flowers and plants. They can grow by just scattering seeds, but they are far inferior in terms of combat power.

"...Since no one has any objections, it's settled."

The third generation called the guards at the door in and ordered, "Invite the clan leaders of each clan here according to the previous agreement."

"yes!"

The ANBU guard bowed slightly and stepped away.

…

Most of the ninja clan leaders arrived very quickly, as if they were already under the Hokage Building, ready to run.

After Orochimaru came back, although he was called directly by the Hokage and did not show much appearance in the village, the small team of ninjas who came back with him dispersed after delivering the mission at the mission center.

The news of Orochimaru's return naturally spread accordingly.

Just one year is not enough to reduce the popularity of 'physical enhancement surgery', not to mention that a group of former Iron Kingdom warriors will show off their presence at the mission center every four or five days.

Therefore, as the developer of 'body enhancement surgery', news about Orochimaru spread at an extremely fast speed during this period of time.

Everyone is very curious - what is the specific success rate of this operation? After Orochimaru comes back, will he perform the operation on the ninjas of the same village? Why did the Hokage call people over in such a hurry...

No one was not interested, so during the time when several Konoha senior officials were discussing the details, public opinion outside had already aroused.

Affected by this atmosphere, every ninja clan leader searched for Orochimaru's figure after entering the Hokage room.

After the usual surprise at the changes in Orochimaru's figure, their eyes turned intense. They came with their own expectations.

After everyone sat down, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was at the head of the table, knocked on the table with his pipe.

The crisp collision sound silenced the conference room. As soon as Sandai opened his mouth, everyone was most concerned about it.

"I have just confirmed from Orochimaru that the success rate of the strengthening surgery that was once applied to samurai has increased to a considerable level, and can be applied to ninjas in this village."

The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became lively again. Everyone was whispering and discussing. The uncontrollable noise made Sandai knock on the table again.

"I understand your excitement, but first think about it calmly. The real situation is not what you imagine."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around and slowly exhaled smoke.

"After the improvement of that kind of intensive surgery, although the success rate is good, the scope is only at the jounin level. Other ninjas still have to risk their lives if they insist on doing it."

This explanation was naturally just a lie, but coming from Sandai's mouth, it determined the scope of the operation.

You have to believe it or not, it’s just a question of Orochimaru’s ‘hands shaking or not’.

Therefore, as soon as this statement came out, it was like a basin of cold water was poured on everyone's heads.

It's not too cold. Even if he's just a jounin, he's already pretty good.

But some people still frowned. The bomb... ah no, Akimichi Dingzao, the leader of the Akimichi clan, asked,

"Why should we first improve jounin surgery? In the village, chunin and genin are the largest group. Only by developing a surgery suitable for them can we improve the backbone of the village to a greater extent."

When Akimichi Choza said this, he certainly did not come to express injustice to the middle and lower ninjas.

The Akimichi clan is an heir to a secret technique, capable of doubling their body and crushing their enemies with a 'meat-bullet chariot'.

Leaving aside jounin for now, if middle-level ninjas undergo physical strengthening surgery, they can use ninjutsu more freely. They can be said to be the group of people who have improved the most.

Therefore, as the leader of the Akimichi clan, he had great expectations for this surgery.

But right now, that hope is a little dashed.

The third generation did not answer this question directly, but turned his attention to Orochimaru, motioning for him to explain.

"Clan Chief Akimichi has misunderstood."

Orochimaru raised the corners of his mouth slightly and emphasized,

"It's not about improving the jounin first, but the improved surgery. Currently, only the jounin can bear it."

Akimichi Dingzuo didn't understand its meaning at first, but after pondering for a moment, it suddenly dawned on him.

The order of surgical research is from top to bottom. How could Orochimaru himself be so kind as to develop some physical enhancement surgery for genin and ordinary people?

This is a surgery that was originally applied to him. It has been improved and weakened so that even jounin can do it.

If you want to be able to be a chuunin and genin, you need further research.

This is a promising future!

Thinking of this, Akimichi Choza responded, "Thank you, Orochimaru-sama, for clarifying the confusion. I understand."

Others have also accepted this status quo. Let’s not talk about the future. Having a group of immortal jonin in the village will also be a huge improvement.

Everyone here is also a jounin. In other words, they can all be the beneficiaries of the 'physical strengthening surgery'.

"Hokage-sama, when will the operation officially begin?"

Hinata Hizu suddenly spoke, with suppressed desire in his eyes, "How much does the surgery cost?"

As one of the two major eye-jutsu families in Konoha, as the Uchiha clan has become more and more active this year, the Hyuga clan has become much bleaker.

It is not that it has declined, but rather, as the threat to the village from White Zetsu's clones continues to increase, the work of members of the Hyuga clan has increased a lot.

The village relies on the power of the Byakugan, and the ability to detect from a distance is indispensable.

But the more this happens, it seems that apart from the ability of the 'telescope', Byakugan is not worth mentioning.

On the other hand, as the village released the shackles of the Uchiha Guards, these elites began to participate in village activities, and others truly realized their power.

Strength and weakness are contrasted, and families with the same pupil skills will naturally be put together. In this case, the Hyuga family seems to be very embarrassed.

Although rationally speaking, let others be strong and let others be strong, and I will brush the hills by myself, but human beings are emotional animals.

For Hinata Hizashi, the current 'physical strengthening surgery' is also an opportunity.

Isn't the opportunity for the Uchiha clan to become stronger to embrace Orochimaru's lap, or the mysterious 'body strengthening surgery'?

Faced with Hinata Hizashi's question, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe, shook his head and said, "We are not planning to completely relax the restrictions on 'physical enhancement surgery' yet."

These words stunned the ninja clan leaders present, and Hinata Hizu even asked anxiously, "Why is this? Is it a matter of cost? Or is it because the medicinal materials are too rare?"

Hyuga Hizatsu himself didn't believe this question. If there were these restrictions, then why could the samurai do so much?

"That's not the problem."

The third generation slowly exhaled smoke, "Although the 'Physique Strengthening Surgery' has many limitations, these internal factors can be easily solved, and the real problems are external."

"Right now, Konoha and Kusanagi are still in a small-scale battle. The enemy will never sit back and watch us increase our strength on a large scale."

The third generation looked around and said slowly, "Not only Kusanagi, Iwagakure Village, Kumogakure Village, and even Sunagakure will not sit idly by."

To blame, the Uzumaki clan had a sealing technique that could turn violent tailed beasts into jinchūriki, so the Uzushio village was wiped out overnight.

Konoha is stronger than Uzushio Village, but it may not be able to defend this 'physical strengthening surgery'.

"Furthermore, you have already seen the strength analysis of the Akatsuki organization."

Sandai's words made everyone present feel even heavier.

As the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world, the situation over the past year has been very frustrating. It has nowhere to use its power, and it is actually suppressed by a small grass ninja.

But as a Konoha ninja, I really endured it unanimously.

Why? It’s not because the leader of the Akatsuki organization is too powerful.

Even a ninja like Orochimaru was beaten and didn't show up for more than a year. You can imagine what this means.

"Therefore, after discussion, at present, the village can only perform surgeries for fifty people."

The third generation frowned solemnly and said solemnly, "Twenty percent of these belong to the ANBU. In other words, there are only forty people who can be allocated to others."

Frankly speaking, this figure is not too small, close to one-fifth of the total number of jounin in the village.

But the question is, how to distribute it?

The heads of the major ninja clans looked at each other, and each of them flashed a light.

Originally it was just a matter of priority, but now it has become a matter of more wolves and less meat.

In line with the principle that you are hungry if you are not full, you have to fight for this kind of thing.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Sandai, waiting for him to come up with a distribution method.

"I understand how you feel. Let's talk openly and honestly now."

The third generation put down the pipe in his hand and looked serious, "Before we talk about the allocation of surgical quotas, let's talk about the war with the grass ninja."

Everyone was slightly startled, but the sound in their ears did not stop.

"The current 'peace' with Kusanagi and the Akatsuki organization cannot last, and a full-scale war will definitely break out in the future."

Naturally, the heads of the various ninja clans also understand this.

Not to mention anything else, the ninjas in the village have accumulated a lot of grievances over the past year. Even a very small number of them are unable to make ends meet and require assistance from the village due to the reduction in tasks.

Although this phenomenon is still small, it has actually somewhat damaged the ecology of normal ninja cultivation.

If it continues to develop, it may be reduced to the level of Sunagakure Village.

War is necessary for ninjas. It is both a screening and a metabolic process.

"The opponent's mid-level and high-level combat capabilities are far superior to those of the village."

The Third Hokage said with a sullen face, "But there are some problems with the top level combat power."

It's okay to say that Scorpion and Kakuzu can be held back by one or more ninja teams, and the more elite ones can even counterattack the opponent. However, ninjas like Pain's Six Paths who are unreasonable cannot be defeated by their numerical advantage.

level difference.

Although the leader of the human ninja clan present had never seen the strength of Pain's Six Paths, what he imagined in his mind was somewhat distorted.

But they have seen the power of the Nine-Tails after going berserk, and this thing was used as a toy by the first Hokage back then.

Pain's Six Paths are only slightly weaker than the First Hokage.

The third generation said slowly, "It can be expected that in order to restrict Pain's Six Paths, at least the 'Konoha Sannin' will need to join forces."

After hearing this, the ninja clan leaders present all nodded slightly.

At present, the "Konoha Sannin" headed by Orochimaru are the highest combat power in the village, and they must work together to stop the opponent.

"But besides Payne, there is another enemy that is difficult to deal with..."

"The 'Enlightenment' in the Box of Bliss is no weaker than the tailed beast, and is also a very powerful enemy. If it is allowed to use its abilities, it will cause huge casualties."

The third generation knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "Therefore, ninjas who undergo physical strengthening surgery must first choose ninjas who can limit 'enlightenment'."

The implication is that good steel is used on the blade.

After hearing this standard, the other ninja clan leaders showed little expression, but Hinata Hizashi turned pale.

The Hyuga clan passed down the Rou Fist.

Even a ninja of Orochimaru's level cannot completely ignore the ability to accurately hit meridian points.

But on the other hand, facing an enemy without meridians, the effect will be terrible.

Whether it's a tailed beast, a large psychic beast, or an 'enlightenment', it's obviously not within the scope of Soft Fist.

The conditions put forward by the third generation also completely failed the idea of ​​using the surgery quota on the disciples of the clan with pure Byakugan.

This physical enhancement surgery obviously did not give the Hyuga clan an opportunity to evolve.
