I teach kendo in the ninja world

Faced with Araki's question, Gui Deng Man Yue was speechless.

"Do you think everyone is like you?"

He took out a piece of ore of about the same size from his arms and placed it on the ground, then held the handle of [Explosive Knife·Float].

take a deep breath~

In an instant, a stream of air flowed through the mouth and nose and poured into the chest and lungs. The beating of the heart suddenly became fierce, and the hot power flowed to the limbs and bones along with the burst of blood.

【Breath of Water】!

When the power flowed through his body, Man Yue swung his sword down and struck directly at the ore, exactly like Araki's action just now.

Unfortunately, the results were very different.

There was only a crisp sound of "dang", and sparks flew out from the collision between the blade and the ore. Then the blade bounced up, and the ore was knocked away by the huge force, and rolled far away before stopping.

Gui Deng Man Yue took two steps forward to pick up the piece of ore, handed it to Araki, and sighed: "See, even me, holding [Float], can only hit such a deep hole with one blow. It’s just a dent, how do you want us to mine it?”

Araki took the ore and took a look. Indeed, although there was a dent about a finger deep on it, it was still far from being completely cut off.

[Explosive Sword·Floating] is already one of Kirigakure's top ninja swords. Although its main ability is not in chopping, the materials used in the blade are also high-end. It is almost impossible for the swords in the hands of other ninjas to be as sharp. There is nothing beyond that.

Moreover, Ghost Mangetsu is a jounin, and he had just used [Water Breathing] to strengthen his power. Under such circumstances, he was not able to break the ore with one blow, and it was even less possible for others.

In the final analysis, the attack power is still seriously insufficient.

Only people from the Ghost Lantern clan can go into the water to mine minerals, and they must be ninjas who are skilled in the "Secret Technique of Water Transformation".

There aren't many such people in Guideng, just a few dozen.

Moreover, the natural chakra attributes of the Ghost Lantern clan are all single water, and a small number of people can awaken the Yin Escape. This allows them to develop the "Water Transformation Technique", an almost semi-invincible inherited secret technique, and even develop based on it. A series of ninjutsu were developed.

But there are gains and losses. The inherent limitation of water release ninjutsu's poor point-to-point attack power is not so easy to overcome.

Not everyone can become the second generation Hokage and use Water Release to have stronger cutting power than Wind Release.

"Oh, it's such a pity. Why didn't the first Hokage list the water release ninjutsu developed by the second Hokage as a forbidden technique?"

Araki sighed and complained in his mind.

If this is the case, then they can now obtain all the water escape ninjutsu of the Second Hokage for free, which will be a huge improvement to the overall strength of the Kirigakure ninjas.

what a shame!

This Kirigakure village is also hip-exaggerated. Decades have passed. It’s not like they have never seen the water escape ninjutsu of the Second Hokage. Why are they only imitating some of the [Sky Cry] and [Water Continuous Bomb]? What about the useless ninjutsu?

What about [Hard Vortex Water Blade]?

What about [Water Breaking Wave]?

not a single one!

These two ninjutsu are the real essence of all the water release ninjutsu of the Second Hokage. They completely subvert the traditional perception that water release ninjutsu is not good at attacking difficult situations.

It can be regarded as opening up a new path for water escape ninjutsu. He is well-deserved for the title of water escape master!

Unfortunately, if you don't get it, you don't get it.

It stands to reason that Araki has also told Man Yue a long time ago that the principle is similar to the hard vortex water blade. Strictly speaking, this technique is indeed a bit like the Rasengan that incorporates changes in water escape properties.

In principle, they are all similar, except that the Rasengan that has been mixed with the change of wind escape properties has become a four-cornered dart-shaped [Spirak Shuriken], while the [Hard Vortex Water Blade] is shaped like a javelin.Relatively speaking, the attack points of [Hard Vortex Water Blade] seem to be more concentrated.

Thinking of this, Araki asked: "As I mentioned to you before, how is the development progress of integrating the changes in water escape properties into the Rasengan?"

"what?"

Man Yue was stunned and glanced to the side subconsciously, "Is this... still studying, still studying..."

"Is there any specific progress?"

Araki frowned, feeling that Man Yue's statement of "under study" was too vague and seemed to be perfunctory.

"……not yet."

"You have to stand up quickly!"

Araki patted Man Yue on the shoulder, "If the research can be successful, how can it be difficult for you to cut the mineral veins?"

"But……"

Man Yue asked hesitantly, "Even if I develop it, there is no possibility of popularizing this kind of ninjutsu, right?" Will I be allowed to work full-time in mining in the future?

Although he didn't say the last sentence directly, the resistance in his expression was obvious.

Ninja, as a profession that has been immersed in war for countless years, seems to have never been insulated from farming and mining.

Even if they were to do it, it would basically be for newly graduated genin to receive some small tasks such as pest control in farmland or rodent control in mine tunnels.

There are very few people who are really willing to take the time to sow and mine.

After so many years, the Ninja World has only one Luo Sha from the Kingdom of Wind, who is willing to give up his own demands for war and spend most of his time panning for gold in the desert to subsidize the finances of Sunagakure Village.

Even so, he was looked down upon by most people, and even some people in the village secretly mocked him as a "gold miner".

But in fact, in Araki's view, people like Rosa are exactly what Kirigakure is in urgent need of right now.

Although his [Magnetic Release·Sand Gold] is almost useless in the sea, this kind of spirit is worth learning from the little comrade Gui Deng Man Yue.

It’s not just the full moon. If Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were willing to use their abilities to help the village with infrastructure construction, would the Konoha Express train still have to wait decades later?

Uchiha Madara only needs to use his complete Susana to clear the mountains and clear the obstacles in the front, and Senju Hashirama behind him can use wooden escape to create a track and pass all the way through.

By then, not to mention the four kingdoms of wind, earth, fire, and thunder, even the kingdom of water will not be able to build water train tracks!

And with the strength of the two of them at that time, it might be difficult to destroy the other four countries, but if they forcibly built roads to connect the countries, no one would dare to stop them.

With smooth roads, communication between people will be more convenient, resource exchanges will be more frequent, and it will be easier for people to understand each other and achieve win-win cooperation.

It's a pity that the two of them only know how to fight and kill each other. They shout for peace and mutual understanding all day long, but they have never thought about how to create an environment where everyone can understand each other more easily.

In the end, they broke up because of different ideas.

Retracting his slightly unfettered thoughts, Araki looked at the ghost lamp Full Moon and asked in a seductive tone: "Man Yue, what is your dream?"

"what?"

This topic was a bit jumpy, which made Man Yue stunned for a moment, and then replied, "The small goal is to restore the prestige of the Seven Ninja Swords, and the big goal is to restore the glory of the Ghost Lantern clan!"

This small goal was set by him just after the Battle of Qingyu Island.

Although the result of that battle was that Kirigakure Village won, due to the outbreak of Matt Dai's Eight Gate Dungeon, most of Kirigakure's Seven Swordsmen were wiped out, and they could almost be said to have been defeated.

From then on, the entire ninja world realized the horror of [Eight Gate Dunjia]!

The elite organization of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was formed by the second-generation Mizukage Kito Hangetsu. As the first genius of the Onito clan after the second-generation Mizukage, Mangetsu would definitely not be able to bear the prestige of the Seven Swordsmen becoming a stepping stone for others. .

That’s why I set this small goal, and decided that I must find the successor of the [Eight Gates of Armor Dungeon] to fight again in the future, in the name of the Seven Swordsmen of Kirigakure!

Regarding Full Moon’s first small goal, Araki was noncommittal.

In his plan, even if not everyone of the Kirigakure Seven Swordsmen of the new generation can be as good as the Five Kage, they should be able to reach the level of the Akatsuki organization in the original timeline. At least everyone can defeat the tailed beasts without any problem.

Check out their list:

Chizuki Kito, who is in charge of the [Double Swords and Fungi], is the current strongest person in the Kito clan and ranks among the top three Jounin elites in Kirigakure. He has also mastered [Water Breathing] and [Spiral Wave Slash], etc. With powerful moves, his combat power has been further improved, and he has firmly entered the ranks of shadows.

Kisame Inegaki, who is in charge of [Big Sword, Samehada], was originally a top powerhouse who could kill the Eight-Tails alone. Now, with the help of the "Shadow Clone Training Accelerator" and [Water Breathing], his achievements will only be higher than before.

Mangetsu, who is in charge of [Explosive Sword and Flying Mote], is still a bit weak in strength now, but he can still be regarded as an elite Jonin. Moreover, he is still young, has both high talent and a lot of inheritance. In the future, he will be able to reproduce the combat power of the second generation Mizukage. There are almost no major obstacles.

These are the current Ninja Swordsmen. Although the other candidates have not yet received the Ninja Sword, their potential is also very impressive.

For example, Momochi Zabuza, Terumi Mei, Hua Bing, Guren, etc. who have mastered ghost energy...

Without knowing that Ghost Lantern Full Moon's real goal was to challenge the Eight Gate Dunjia, Araki felt that this small goal was not difficult at all.

In the future, if they form a team, they can even capture all eight tailed beasts except the Kyuubi!

But do you want to revive the glory of the ghost lantern...

Araki's lips raised slightly: "Do you know why the Ghost Lantern clan's voice in the village dropped off a cliff after the death of the second generation Mizukage?"

"Because we didn't have enough strong people to take the lead!"

Man Yue's words were full of murderous intent.

Although he had not personally experienced that period, as the hope for the revival of the Gui Deng clan, Gui Deng Qianyue often mentioned that sad past to him.

Six of the seven ninja swords were taken away!What family business has been recycled in large quantities!Even the ninjas within the clan are restricted from enrolling in school!

Etc., etc……

Anyway, no matter how exaggerated it comes.

That's why he had this expression when he mentioned this.

The reason he said was not wrong, but Araki certainly couldn't admit it, so he shook his head: "No! Your idea is a bit biased. A strong enough leader can indeed bring the family to a higher level, but if it is not solid enough, If the foundation is strong, then with the departure of the leader, it is inevitable that the family will fall into a trough. After all, no one can guarantee that their family will be able to cultivate a strong man of the level of the Five Shadows from generation to generation. "

"Isn't the foundation of the Ghost Lantern clan strong enough?"

Man Yue was puzzled. As the largest clan in Kirigakure, this was the first time someone told him that the foundation of the Oni Lan clan was not solid enough.

"The foundation of Ghost Lantern is indeed solid, but it is not solid enough. This issue needs to be viewed dialectically."

Araki said earnestly, "After losing the leadership of the second generation Mizukage, although the Oniden clan fell into a trough, it did not recover. This can be said to be a sign of your solid foundation. But the third generation Mizukage took away the six handles without mercy. The ownership of the ninja sword, judging from the massive suppression of the ninjas of the Oniden clan, is not solid enough. If it is really solid enough, how dare he directly suppress you, the most powerful clan in the village, when he has just come to power?"

"...What you said seems to make sense."

Man Yue thought for a while, and it seemed that was indeed the case, "Then what should we do?"

"You need to find something that is extremely important to the village, but only you can do it and no one else can. Hold it firmly in your hands, so that you can be both prosperous and destructive with the village. In this way, no matter what, Who will be the Mizukage in the future? As long as he wants to develop Kirigakure well, he will have no way of attacking you!"

Araki said with a smile.

"It's extremely important to the village, and only we can do it?"

Gui Deng Man Yue thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Does casting ninja tools not count?"

"There are no technical difficulties with consumables such as kunai, shuriken, and detonating charms. If Ghost Lantern can do it, others can do it too."

Araki shook his head and stopped Man Yue's argument, "You want to say the Seven Ninja Sword? Not to mention the output of this high-end ninja tool, the most important thing in casting a Ninja Tool of this level is the material, right? Moreover, right? No matter how powerful the ninja tool is, it still needs ninjas to use it. The power of one or two elite jounin levels will not have that great impact on the village."

"Then what did you say?"

"It's money!"

"money?"

"Yes, a village cannot develop without money. This money is not just the paper currency in your hand, but also includes food that can be eaten, minerals that can be used to make weapons, etc... These are the real things. The lifeblood of the country.”

"Food? Minerals?"

Man Yue's mind is also very clever. He reacted immediately and glared at Araki: "After saying so much, you still want to trick me into going to the sea to mine!"

"I'm not lying to you."

Araki was glared at by him but was not panicked. He was not nervous at all about his conspiracy being exposed. "The minerals in our Kingdom of Water are all buried under the sea. Only you, the Ghost Lantern Clan, have the conditions to develop them. And this thing is indispensable for the development of the village." resources, whether you want to seize the opportunity to firmly grasp it and make the Ghost Lantern clan an unshakable existence that shares weal and woe with the village depends on what you think, and I won’t force it. Anyway, I don’t have a family, and I don’t know the future of the family. How should one choose between personal preferences..."

In the end, Araki pretended that it didn't matter whichever choice you made, but the future described in his words deeply attracted Man Yue, who wanted to revitalize the family.

"This……"

Gui Deng Man Yue hugged her head in distress.
