Ninja Ice House

It wasn't until this time that Orochimaru confirmed that he was really tricked, rather than having delusions of being persecuted.Although I don't know the specific attacker and how to do it, I can still guess.

Recalling his actions not long ago, Orochimaru turned his attention to the empty tea cup.

After sorting out all the possibilities, only this possible flaw can pose a substantial threat to himself.Under normal circumstances, Orochimaru's vigilance is quite high, and he is extremely guarded against actions that may cause harm to himself.

Just now, because the results of the experiment were quite satisfactory, I was negligent for a while, and lost my vigilance against daily actions.

Looking at the entire ninja world, there are only so many people and forces known to be able to plot Orochimaru silently.Among the few suspects, Danzo Shimura of Konoha Village was the first to be suspected.What's more, this person still has a "convicted record", and he has not yet settled with him about changing his spiritual obsession from Yamata no Orochi to "Hydra".

"Master Orochimaru, what's wrong with what you just said?"

Seeing his boss's unwavering expression, Pharmacist asked hesitantly,

"It's not impossible to request more 'experimental products' from Tanokuni Daimyo, but it's easy for Konoha Ninja to spot the clues. Should you relax the time limit?"

After all, Tianzhi Country is a small country, and there are very few young people who meet the requirements of Orochimaru, so they have to introduce foreign population.Young people like Feng Molan, Honglian, and Huanyouwan, who are barely noticeable, have almost been wiped out, and the remaining three or two cats and dogs are not worth a lot of trouble.

This is also a common problem of forces that are not large enough. They have no background, and they can't squeeze out too much oil and water by tapping their internal potential. Even if Orochimaru has worked hard for several years, it still cannot shake the status of the five major powers.

"It's no wonder that there are masters like 'half gods' in charge, but it only makes Yuren look a bit decent, but it still can't change the status of the Kingdom of Rain."

Orochimaru, who put his mind down for the time being, couldn't help laughing a few times.

The danger is real, but it seems that there is no possibility of a rapid onset. With a vigilant heart, even a change in spiritual obsession can be suppressed well.

"Should I ask Honglian to send some people over?"

"Du, I recognize your ability, but you can't always use other people's things as a bargaining chip to flatter me."

Orochimaru looked dissatisfied at the clever subordinate, who immediately pretended to be loyal,

"Are you done with what I ordered you?"

Pharmacist Dou immediately half-knelt on the ground and replied:

"Zuo Zhu's growth rate is in line with expectations. After hard work, he has returned to the position of chief student, and he will soon close the gap with his competitors."

"That... Xianglin, is she that good?"

It's not that Orochimaru can't accept a girl as a soul container, but it's that he doesn't believe that someone can compare with the Uchiha tribe in aptitude, especially if it's a talent he likes.

"It's very strong, and it may even be stronger than everyone expected. The potential of the Uzumaki people cannot be ignored. You also know that they should be a few years away from the age when they can really show their strengths."

"Um……"

Orochimaru, who rested his chin in thought, naturally understood the characteristics of the Uzumaki people.The advantages of physical strength and chakra will not be fully revealed until the end of puberty, the end of the first growth period.

Children under ten years old, no matter how outstanding they are, their foundations are too low, they still can't see the clues.

The 12-year-old Uzumaki Naruto has hundreds of times more Chakra than Hatake Kakashi. Even if Xiang Rin is not Jinchuriki, his physical strength and Chakra strength are not as obvious as Uzumaki Naruto, he can definitely crush [-]% of the ninja world Forbearance in strength.

】

The amount of chakra does not mean strength, but it is an important threshold. Many advanced ninjutsu require enough physical strength and chakra to perform. The aptitude is slightly inferior, and you can't even touch the edge of the ninjutsu. You can perform one or two B-levels Ninjutsu empties the "inventory", so don't expect to get ahead.

"The pedigree of the Uzumaki tribe is indeed excellent, but there are other ways to solve the problem of physical strength and chakra, so I will not consider it for the time being. But the Ice escape boy you mentioned earlier, you can mention it if you pay attention to the ranking..."

Orochimaru's talent is quite good, otherwise he would not have been accepted as a disciple by Hiru Sarutobi. After changing two bodies in a row, his desire for chakra volume is not high. Instead, he has a body with a higher degree of fit, which is more in line with Mind.

On the original timeline, the Huanyuwan, which was improvised, had mediocre qualifications and a low degree of fit. Once the three-year buffer period expired, it would soon be overwhelmed, so that it was not in the state to forcibly cast the forbidden technique. The body, as a result, was backlashed.

"I will arrange it as soon as possible. However, Oshemaru-sama, monitoring several key targets at the same time, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, not to mention..."

The pharmacist said awkwardly,

"The Gushan family is indeed a problem that is difficult to deal with. I am a Konoha village, and I can't be scared..."

For a less arrogant force, Yaoshidou can still think of a way. Those half-official and half-businessmen of the Gushan family are accompanied by guards when they go out, and there are more people watching overtly and covertly. Time monitoring also feels very difficult.

After hearing the complaints from his subordinates, Orochimaru finally realized that the child who was basically sure to awaken the Bingdun Xueji Jiejie was also a key talent cultivated by the Gushan family.

Maybe Muye Village will maintain a tacit understanding with Orochimaru, as long as it is not too much, just let it go, the Gushan family will not be so easy to talk to, even if it is to take Orochimaru, as long as they are willing to spend money, increase the bounty of Orochimaru and his lackeys by a few At this level, it is estimated that Tian Zhiguo and Yinnin Village will never have peace in the future.

"Money ability" may not necessarily play a decisive role, but it will certainly not be useless.Although Orochimaru was not afraid, he was hesitant to rashly break up with the Gushan family.

"Try first, act with caution."

Although many of Fusugi Bosui's actions have been probing at the edge of the ninja world, they haven't touched the core.However, the Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck, a master in the same circle, is also more sensitive to certain events than imagined.

Many major events that have happened in the ninja world recently have the shadow of Fusugi Bumizu looming behind them.

"God knows what you've been doing recently, are you still playing with those boring 'toys'?"

The research on amphibious ninjas is actually not worthless, but this thing is destined to be of no benefit to climbing the peak of the ninja world, but it is somewhat helpful to improve the water battle in Konoha Village.

Orochimaru who didn't become the fourth generation of Naruto, gave up those things outside of him long ago.

"No special report, just..."

The pharmacist continued to explain after a pause,

"The activities of Wuyin Village in the Kingdom of the Sea tend to stagnate, and it seems that it has withdrawn from that sea area. I don't know the reason for the time being."

"There are no secrets about the ninja world..."

Orochimaru smiled,

"It must be that a certain force reached an agreement with Mist Ninja and took over the territory of the Sea Country. Whoever has been more active recently is the chosen agent. You go and find out who is behind it. Muye Village, Sand Hidden Village, Yuyin Village, or the Gushan family you mentioned."

"As ordered."

Yaoshidou has already guessed some things, but acting too smart may not be a good thing. What Dashewan values ​​is a useful assistant, not an ambitious person who is smart enough to get out of control, or even backfire.

……

On Yuqi Island, which already has a strong New Year flavor, the Gushan family opened up the ban on this place for the first time in this season, and arranged the third round of the "King of Fighters" audition in the eastern region on the seashore as a part of the New Year's celebration. part.

Facts have proved that this bold plan was indeed a success.

Not only tourists from the land of fire, but also people from the land of waves, the land of vortex, and the land of soup are also very supportive. The heavily armed warriors of the land of iron do not want to stay in the frozen north at this time of year. Winterize in this resort and enjoy the "King of Fighters" competition that is about to become a national sport.

Even the gold transport fleet of the Kingdom of the Sea, starting this year, set a stop on the trade route at Yuqi Island.The scarce industrial products produced locally are urgently needed by the sea country, and there is a huge demand for primary consumer goods. All kinds of seafood are sold out on the day they arrive. Not only that, the "high quality and low price" cheap labor in the sea country The island and the country of Inaba on the other side gradually gained a firm foothold. Laborers at the port, courier workers, poor families pulling rickshaws to make a living, dishwashing workers and handymen behind the scenes of various catering services are everywhere. With an accent from the Sea Country, he is an honest and honest-looking, quick-working temporary worker in the southern border.

The natives of the Land of Fire are unwilling to do dirty and tiring work, and those first-generation immigrants in the Land of the Sea who are satisfied with a full mouthful of food don't dislike it at all.

Three years have passed, and Haixing, who was supported by the Gushan family as an agent, has always been in contact with the "white gloves" who actually manage it. It is really not easy to talk to Gushan Bushui face to face.

"Young master, I originally planned to go back earlier, but..."

Starfish explained with a wry smile,

"Nowadays, nearly half of the sailors in the fleet are doing odd jobs in the port. They work hard for a week and earn more than three months' wages. If they are formal contract workers, they can earn half a year's living expenses after working hard for half a month. I am not strong. bar……"

"How should I put it, the crew is also a high-paying job. Although it is hard work, it shouldn't be like this?"

"Your son from the kingdom of the sea, you are very poor."

For so many years, as the "porter" of the land of the sea and the mainland of the ninja world, Hai Xing can be regarded as well-informed, and he really doesn't want to block the money of his compatriots.

"Okay, don't delay the matter, Chuanzhi Country, the construction period is delayed, you can go to Muran to explain yourself, I just want the final result."

"Follow your orders."

Waving to let the starfish back down, Fusugi Bosui shook his head lightly, and sighed to Togakushi Hinode standing behind him:

"Hey, this person seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Hai Xing says he can't block the way of making money for his compatriots, but never mentions his own way of getting money..."

"Isn't it good to be selfish?"

Togakushi Hirise smiled,

"If you are a hero who sacrificed his life for righteousness for the country of the sea, it would be difficult to handle."

His hero, my enemy!

There are weaknesses, better control.

As the guard captain of the Gold Ship Fleet of the Kingdom of the Sea, there are too many places where he can make profits. No matter what purpose Hai Xing wants to gain more benefits, it proves that he also has a core desire, not as selfless as he has shown before .

As for the import of labor from the Sea Country, it has been going on for more than two years. The economic lifeline of this small island country has long been tied to the Gushan family's warship, and it will not be easy to get out easily.

"I don't want to be so calculating, but ah..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui looked at the heavy snow falling outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and said softly,

"The history of human development is a history of 'cannibalism'. Wolves eat sheep and sheep eat grass. Predators at the top of the food chain will naturally choose a more efficient 'predation' mode. Whether it is eating grass or sheep , and even eating wolves is far less efficient than 'eating people'."

"Young Master Zhiji also said similar things back then, but his choice was different from yours."

Togakushi Sunrise commented,

"Privately, I feel that Young Master Zhiji is great, but you are more suitable to control the broken ship of the Gushan family that is about to hit the rocks."

"Yes. Uncle Zhiji is very selfless and loves all human beings. I am more selfish and only love my relatives and friends around me."

"That's why we prefer to work with Master Bu Shui. Master Zhi Ji can only 'find no such person'."

Betrayal of one's own class is a very serious matter.In a world without extraordinary power, Gu Shan Bu Shui might not be able to do things like he does now.

Think about the aliens—the Otsutsuki clan, who suppressed the ten-tailed Jinchuriki all over the world by one person. The power of mortals is too fragile in front of "gods".

"If, if I don't 'cannibal', how can I become a higher predator on the food chain, and become a bargaining existence with the 'gods'? In order not to be put on the table as food, I have to be a 'cannibal' once magic'."

The truth is this truth, but when it comes to actually doing it, I still feel a little sorry.Using institutional, financial, and capital means to squeeze the human value of foreign laborers is still within the scope of tolerance. Gathering death row prisoners and sacrificing them to the gods, just to gain a little more bargaining chips, is indeed a bit unreasonable.

"Master, they all deserve death."

"I know, I have read every case file, and most of the executions a hundred times are not enough to offset their crimes. However, they are also intelligent life, our kind. I want to keep my feelings at this time in my heart, I dare not forget at all times. If one day, I get used to seeing human life as a bargaining chip, I will not be far from losing my humanity..."

Togakushi Hirise was speechless.

For a high-ranking person like the Gushan family, it is relatively rare to directly execute a group of people for some reason, but it is very common for a certain order to indirectly affect the fate of most people.

In the past few years, I don't know how many people have survived because of what Gushan Bushui did.However, this is the first time that more than 300 people have been directly ordered to be executed.

Three years ago in the country of bears, there were not so many "cannibal" gangsters whose heads were directly chopped off.

"Let them wait, I will go to see it myself later..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui is not afraid of killing people, killing so many people directly for blood sacrifice will always leave a hurdle in his heart.
