I teach kendo in the ninja world

"Teacher, are you going?"

Jiraiya suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

As the saying goes: If something happens, the disciple will do the work.

It is natural for the younger generation to help the elders with things, but once this is reversed...

Even though he was as thick-faced as Jiraiya, he felt a little uncomfortable.

How could he normally call Sarutobi Hiruzen "teacher" in a serious manner?

He kept shouting "old man" and "old man" without opening his mouth.

At this moment, he felt a little embarrassed, which was rare.

"Okay, you are already in your 40s and [-]s, so stop being pretentious. Did I still do less of the things I did to wipe your butts when you were a kid?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, and then looked at Orochimaru, "How about it, what kind of regulations should we draw up here?"

Orochimaru pondered for a moment and asked Jiraiya a question: "You said you wanted to redeem the prisoners from Kirigakure Village, but did they... agree?"

"what?"

Jiraiya was stunned when he heard this, "This..."

Where does he know?

He had already run away while we were talking!

"So," Orochimaru's voice was low and hoarse, "This is not a negotiation agreed upon by both parties. It is just our wishful thinking for the time being. We need to be more careful about safety issues."

"No way. If they don't agree to our words, what good will they gain?"

Jiraiya's eyes widened.

"Didn't you say that Sunagakure has an evil puppet technique? Maybe you can sell it to them?"

Orochimaru guessed casually.

"Absolutely not!"

Jiraiya stood up, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo also frowned.

One or two thousand ninjas is not a small number. If all are lost, then the number of ninjas they have buried in the Kingdom of Water will be close to one-third of the number of standing ninjas in the village.

And if these people all come to life in another way and become enemies...

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes sharpened: "We can no longer wait for Sunagakure Village to slowly advance on the border. They may be waiting for these corpses from Kirigakure Village to make new puppets!

"Give me the order to prepare the Hinata and Aburame clans. When Tsunade comes back, they will take the initiative to attack Sunagakure.

"As for the matter in Kirigakure Village..."

He recalled in his mind the manpower currently available in the village.

"We need to send someone to talk to Mizukage first. Namikaze Minato's [Flying Thunder God Technique] was originally the most suitable, but he is still on the front line of Kumogakure..."

Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a little headache.

There is still not enough talent!

But at this time, Danzo unexpectedly volunteered: "How about I take a trip?"

"you?"

The three people in the room looked at him with suspicion, and even his good friend Sarutobi looked at him with distrust.

Orochimaru considered his words: "If Kirigakure is unwilling to negotiate..."

The implication is to ask, do you have any tricks to survive?

But what Danzo said next was beyond everyone’s expectations:

"What I mean is, how about I go to the Northern Front to replace Namikaze Minato and come back? I still have some experience in dealing with Kumogakure."

Ok?

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya's eyes lit up.

With Danzo's wind escape skills, he should have been the main force against Kumogakure, but because he injured his hand and glance, he stayed in the village.

"Danzo, your hand?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still concerned. After all, Danzo was a ninjutsu-type ninja during his period. If he could not form seals, it would have a great impact on his strength.

"Don't worry, I have been studying the one-hand seals these days, and now I have some understanding."

Danzo directly demonstrated it live.

I saw him making a few quick gestures with his left hand, and then he opened his mouth and spit out a blast of wind.

The movements are very skillful, and it looks like he has spent time practicing.

"That's great!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slapped his thigh, "At Minato's speed, it only takes a few days to go back and forth. As long as you can withstand these few days, it will be fine."

Danzo narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Only Orochimaru looked at Danzo and felt that he had another purpose.

But now there is no better solution than this. Besides, he is heading to the northern front alone. Does he dare to continue to provoke the Uchiha clan?

So things were settled like this for the time being.

……

Foggy Village.

After the victory of the battle, Kirigakure Village pushed its defense line directly to the border of the Whirlpool Country.

The top ninjas returned to the village to discuss the next strategy.

But before that, there is one more thing to do.

That’s a celebration!

This was the fourth Mizukage's first major victory since he came to power, and it was also Kirigakure's first decisive victory against Konoha.

Coupled with the five ninja swords that were freed due to the accident, this celebration has touched the hearts of many people.

Moreover, this was also the first meeting where all the senior officials were present since the Fourth Mizukage came to power.

As the frontline commander, Kito Chizuki was directly appointed as the new jounin squad leader due to his merit, and nominally commanded all the jounin in the village.

At the same time, Ghost Light Full Moon was also promoted to Jonin and given [Explosive Sword·Floating], becoming one of the new generation of Seven Swordsmen.

Coupled with the fact that Kiden Qianyue was in charge of the [Double Swords: Flathead], Kirigakure's seven swordsmen, and the Kiden family alone was the second one, their reputation was sky-high for a while, and there was a faint momentum to return to the peak of the second generation Mizukage period.

This also made many honorary elders of civilian origin feel a little panic, fearing that the Snow Clan and the Kaguya Clan would also take charge of the Ninja Swords respectively, completely monopolizing the Kirigakure Seven Swords in the hands of the wealthy clans.

It is no exaggeration to say that these seven ninja swords are the most fundamental reason why the civilian ninjas of Kirigakure Village can compete with the wealthy ninjas in terms of high-end strength.

If they were completely lost, they wouldn't know how civilian ninjas would rise in the future?

It's just that because of Gouju Yagura's power, they didn't dare to directly raise questions at the meeting.

Fortunately, Kisame Inegaki, who was also born as a commoner, took over the [Big Sword Samehada] next, which made them relax a little.

If only two ninja swords were controlled by a wealthy family, then they would barely be able to accept it.

But next, regarding the issue of the ownership of [Thunder Knife·Fang], [Long Knife·Suture] and [Broken Knife·Decapitation], Tang Ju Yagura avoided talking about it, and the topic changed to "Blood Mist Blade" 】Military matters.

"The pursuit force that was originally affiliated with ANBU will be separated from today and become an independent combat force named [Blade of Blood Mist]. The responsibility is no longer limited to hunting down traitor ninjas, but on the battlefield. Fight frontally, especially on land far away from the ocean."

Then, he motioned for Araki beside him to stand up and continued, "The leader of this unit is Jounin Araki, who also serves as the chief instructor of the unit. All ninjas on staff can sign up and can join after passing the screening."

As soon as these words came out, all the knowledgeable people present realized the importance of this force.

For a long time, the development of Kirigakure Village has been limited by resource constraints and a small population. Isn't it because it is too dependent on the marine environment?

On the sea, Kirigakure's ninjas can collide with anyone without fear.

But if you go ashore, it would be a bit exaggerated to say that you will directly turn into a salted fish, but it is not an exaggeration to say that your strength will be reduced by less than half.

This leaves them with no way to expand outward.

Because after leaving the three-acre area of ​​​​his own home, the Kirigakure ninja's combat effectiveness will show a diving-like decline.

Not even Sunagakure can beat him.

Now, Gouju Yagura has specifically emphasized that this [Blood Mist Blade] unit is particularly interested in combat capabilities on land, and has also created an unprecedented chief instructor position.

There is a saying that in the world of ninjas, it seems that the word chief instructor has never appeared in any army.

Sunagakure's puppet troops don't have it, and neither do Iwagakure's demolition troops.

After leaving the ninja school, there is no such opportunity to enjoy concentrated teaching.

Ninjas are taught in teams, and unless they are truly apprentices, the captain's teachings are limited.

At most, they can only teach some small skills, but it is impossible to systematically teach the knowledge they have mastered.

Take the protagonist class and Class [-] in the original work as an example. It is a typical captain-style teaching rather than a master-disciple model.

As the captain, Jonin Kakashi will teach them some general skills such as climbing trees and treading water, but he does not teach any other skills he has mastered, whether Ninja, Tai, or Gen.

The thousands of ninjutsu he copied were simply in vain.

It's obvious that Sakura still has some talent for illusions, but until she became a disciple of Tsunade, she couldn't even master a single technique that required sealing (except the Three Body Technique).

Kakashi didn't teach even the most common D-level and C-level illusions.

Naruto is the same.

With his amount of chakra, if Kakashi teaches him a Wind Release Ninjutsu, even just a [Wind Release: Great Breakthrough], he can turn into a humanoid turret.

Unfortunately, nothing.

Before becoming a disciple of Jiraiya, he could only rely on shadow clones to fight hand-to-hand.

Only Sasuke, who was truly regarded as a disciple by Kakashi, later learned his Chidori.

This is in Konoha Village, which is said to have the most harmonious atmosphere where everyone feels like one family.

You can imagine how difficult it is to get ninjutsu instruction in other villages.

But now, this [Blood Mist Blade] force actually has the position of [Chief Instructor]!

This [Chief Instructor]...is this what they understand?

Elder Qingquan raised his hand to indicate, then stood up and asked: "Mizukage-sama, do you mean that as long as you can pass the assessment and join this force, you can get the teachings of Araki Jonin? Anyone can?"

His tone was slightly trembling, which was because he was too excited.

There is no need to go into too much detail about Araki's strength. Those who have been chopped down by him can form a high-level small group that is not inferior to the five major countries.

If you can be taught by such a person, even if it is a big pot meal where hundreds or thousands of people eat together, it will be an opportunity that is rare but cannot be sought!

"Not bad!"

Araki nodded, "But my training will be harder, if..."

"No problem, Mr. Araki, just train them to death!"

Before Araki could finish his words, Elder Qingquan responded loudly, and even called Araki "sir" for the first time.

You know, with their seniority, they don't have to use honorifics to anyone except Mizukage and the First Elder Yuanshi.

It shows how much he values ​​this opportunity.

"I see, I'm just saying, Lord Mizukage won't care about the life and death of us civilians. It turns out there is a better way to help us bridge the gap?"

After sitting down, Qingquan, Zhuoliu and Shuiya communicated secretly, their voices full of uncontrollable excitement.

The gap between civilian ninjas and family ninjas, apart from the innate abilities in blood, has the greatest impact on acquired teachings.

As long as they make up for this, they will have the confidence to continue competing.

"Also," Goju Yagura then announced, "Starting from this year, all children of school age in the village must be sent to ninja schools to study."

"The Ninja School will also undergo reforms, reclassify grades, and add elite classes..."

"Students in the elite class can have the opportunity to go to the [Blood Blade] unit for trial training in advance and be exposed to the basic teaching materials there..."

"If the Ninja School students' graduation assessment scores are excellent enough, they can directly apply to join the [Blooded Blade] force after graduation..."

Goju Yagura read out these reform strategies one by one after discussing with Araki.

After hearing these policy changes that were completely different from the past, most of the attendees truly felt one thing -

Kirigakure Village is indeed very different from before.

Looking at Gotachibana Yagura standing in the top position, and the equally young Araki next to him, everyone realized that they were about to enter a new era!

It's just that Gui Deng Qianyue's heart is a little sour.

Obviously he and Araki were standing on the left and right hands of Goju Yagura, but why did he seem so redundant?

Moreover, whether it was investing in Yagura or befriending Araki, he was clearly the one who started it.But now, Goju Yagura has become the Fourth Mizukage, and Araki is also in charge of the [Blooded Blade] unit and has become a very important figure in the village.

His investment has received a generous enough return, which should obviously be double happiness, but why is he not so happy now?

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between Araki and Yagura beside him, and the incompatible himself who could never get in between the two of them, Onito Qianzuki fell into silence.
