Chapter 585 Contract

Fingers tapped the table rhythmically, making noises in the office.

Military action reports transmitted from various places, everything in detail is presented in the report, allowing Shiraishi to intuitively feel the complex and diverse changes in the situation in various parts of the ninja world.

The internal situation of the small countries such as the Pond Country and the Gray Country has basically been effectively controlled. As long as there is no problem with the ghost country as the backing, then these small countries can smoothly change in the direction he expected, and there will be no unexpected changes in the middle.

However, this is also thanks to the unanimous acquiescence of the rest of the big countries in this matter.

Probably thinking in his heart, as long as the next layout for the ghost country is completed, then, no matter how much he loses, after victory, he can regain everything he lost, and even get more.

During the past six months, various countries have used various and impeccable excuses to submit diplomatic documents to the kingdom of ghosts, and have taken practical actions. The business transactions between each other have become more frequent, showing the friendly appearance of major powers co-existing peacefully and jointly ruling the general direction of the ninja world.

The purpose of doing this is not only to appease, but also to detect the truth and find out some situations inside the kingdom of ghosts.

As for the matter of the country of the pond, Leaf of the country of fire must have got a 'sufficient' excuse. Next, it is only necessary to pay attention to when Konoha will act next.

The attack time is determined to be December, but the specific date has not yet been determined.

However, Shiraishi is not worried about this. He will soon be able to learn from Yagura the precise time when Konoha will attack the Demon Country, and make corresponding arrangements.

The materials, weapons, equipment, and personnel transfer needed for the war, even if there is no need to enter the preparation work in advance, with the current organization and mobilization capabilities of the ghost country, and the reserve of materials, it is enough to switch from defense to offense in an instant, turning disadvantages into advantages of one's own position.

This is the conclusion drawn based on the organizational capabilities shown by the Kingdom of Ghosts and the other five major countries.

A qualified industrial country, the truest standard, is not only reflected in the country's industrial capacity, the country's mobilization and organizational capabilities, whether it can effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of its own people, etc., are all very important capabilities, not absolutely reflected in the country's industrialization capabilities.

After all, when the situation is going well, everyone will have smooth sailing and win beautiful battles.

But only when difficulties come, can the most precious resilience of a person, an organization, or a country be brought into full play.

This is a precious quality that is comparable to steel and ninjutsu.

Looking at the military reports submitted from all over the world, Shiraishi's mood became unusually relaxed and happy.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and Liuli walked in from the outside.

Holding a sealed folder in his hand, he threw it on Baishi's desk.

"The action plan for Wuyin has been planned. This is the list of people involved, as well as all the materials and equipment needed."

"Hmm..." Shiraishi picked up the plan and read it, nodded slightly, "The people who participated in the direct combat are all members of the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan... Is this enough?"

Although Yakura handed over the defense map of Kirigakure Village's sea area for the next military operation against the Oni Nation, no matter how you say it, the bottom-level Kirigakure ninjas who participated in the war were obviously ignorant.

They can't be caught without a fight.

"No problem, I will personally take action when the time comes to control the situation immediately to avoid accidents. Compared with my side, you might as well worry about the situation on the other side."

Liuli said.

Shiraishi understood who Liuli was referring to. In the upcoming war, Liuli was responsible for dealing with Kirigakure, and the task was the easiest.

Ayane is in charge of targeting Iwakakushi.

There are other arrangements for sand hidden and Konoha.

In order to catch the ghost country by surprise, these villages cannot mobilize a large army to overwhelm the army at the first time, but adopt a strategy of running lightly, and will control the number of people to a certain extent.

Compared to the three villages of Kirigakure, Sandgakure, and Konoha, Iwagakure, who is in charge of Ayane, must beat them to the pain and cast a psychological shadow, so that Iwagakure does not dare to act rashly. The pressure on Ayane was also the greatest.

Otherwise, they would not be able to spare time to concentrate on dealing with Mount Miaomu.

"At that time, I will let the mechanized troops act together with Ayane, let's use the ninjas of Iwain to test the combat effectiveness of this army."

If it is an ordinary mechanized army, encountering such an unreasonable ninja, the deterrent effect will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Especially the Yanyin ninjas who are good at earth escape, they will use various escape techniques to hinder the action of mechanized troops.

But this does not mean that mechanized troops will become vulnerable to ninjas.

The specific performance needs to be verified by actual combat data.

At this time, Baishi's shadow suddenly changed from a flat surface to a three-dimensional one, turning into a shadow dancer, standing beside him respectfully.

Baishi continued:

"Just in case, Shadow Dancer and Sky Feather Girl will also act together with Ayane to deal with the Iwagakure ninja."

Liuli glanced at the shadow dancer, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said nothing.

"Are you back? What's the result of the investigation?"

Located above Hokage Rock, the two consultants moved to bed, Koharu and Mitomonyan waited until Jiraiya returned from the outside.

Looking at the way Zilaiye came back in a hurry, he knew that Zilai also had a good harvest in the investigation mission outside.

"This kind of thing is done by the Immortal himself. Of course, it is easy to complete." Jilai also laughed exaggeratedly in a boastful tone, and then slightly restrained the smile on his face, and his tone became slightly serious. "The situation outside is not optimistic. I think the next step is almost ready. If this continues, I worry that the expansion of the Kingdom of Ghosts will become unstoppable."

Different from the two consultants who stay at home, he has been investigating matters related to the ghost country outside during this time, especially the military assistance of the ghost country for small countries, and has gained a lot.

Because of this, he can more intuitively feel the country's rapidly expanding strength and daunting ambition than most of Konoha's ninjas.

"Materials and weapons have basically been prepared, and Nebe and the Sarutobi clan are responsible for guarding them. However, the most important point is to think about how to deal with Chiba Shiraishi, Uchiha Ruri, and Hyuga Ayane. Otherwise, even if the kingdom of ghosts is defeated, as long as these three people are still alive, defeating the kingdom of ghosts will lose its meaning."

Zanzhu Xiaochun pointed this out.

"Xiaochun is right. What we have to deal with are these three people. The rest of the ninjas in the kingdom of ghosts seem to be a little bit more trivial."

Mitomon also insisted on the same view.

If these three people are not eliminated, Konoha will have no peace for a day.

"Of course I know this kind of thing, but before that, the three of them must be separated and defeated separately. Besides, it is still unknown how many powerful ninjas there are under the three of them in the kingdom of ghosts... This has to be guarded against."

Zilai also showed a pensive look, frowning, obviously feeling troubled by this.

"You mean the daughter of Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri?"

Mito Menyan seems to have thought of something.

"That's right, it's a monster that's not inferior to her parents... In terms of chakra, I'm afraid it's at the same level as Yun Yin's fourth Raikage, and in terms of protracted combat, it's at the same level as Tailed Beast. To fight such an opponent, even I am under great pressure."

Although compared to a few years ago, Jilai also felt that his own strength had greatly improved, especially after the fiasco of the Kingdom of Wind, he practiced his fairy art even more hard... However, limited by his own aptitude, he still couldn't use the fairy art proficiently.

It is really a little bit reluctant to respond to the enemy in this state.

And being surpassed by a teenage girl, this made Zilai feel very uncomfortable.

"If it's true as you said, then Chiba Shiraishi's daughter is probably even scarier than Minato in the past. A true genius is nothing more than that."

Blindfolding Xiaochun sighed.

Although the new generation of ninjas has emerged in an endless stream over the years, and there are many young ninjas who can be regarded as "seeds", none of the talented ninjas like the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato has appeared.

It seems that the gods of the second and third ninja world wars in the past no longer belong to Konoha.

Although ninjas pay attention to collective discipline, individual ninjas, as individuals, are powerful deterrent weapons.

For example, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Hokage, Sannin...Because in front of ninjas of this level, it is difficult to achieve good results with simple crowd tactics, and they must be restrained by ninjas of the same level.

"Don't be discouraged, as long as you get your strength up, Konoha will soon have a powerful deterrent weapon other than Hokage and Sannin."

Compared to Koharu's worries, Mito Menyan is still optimistic.

As a consultant, he is always paying attention to Naruto's growth, coupled with the favor of the holy land Mt. Myogi, he might become the strongest Nine-tailed Jinchuriki in history.

If this becomes a reality, it will only be a matter of time before Konoha can be restored to the name of the strongest tolerance village.

"Is it fairy art? Speaking of which, Jiraiya, you are about to let Naruto go to Mt. Miaomu to practice the sage art there. His basic training has been completed, and I think he should be able to meet the standards taught by the immortals of Mt. Miaomu."

Turning to bed, Xiaochun thought of something, raised his head and looked at Zilai as well.

Jiraiya also touched his chin, thinking: "This matter, in terms of time and growth, Naruto has indeed made great progress these days. In this case, I will talk to Tsunade about this later, and take Naruto to Mt. Miaomu to practice in a few days. I will take advantage of this time to teach Naruto in Mt. Miaomu, but this way, the village..."

Understanding Jiraiya's surprise, he turned to Koharu and replied: "We and Tsunade can deal with the matter of the village and the next actions. When the battle starts, you will come back from Mt. Myogi. Now the voices in the village are quite unified, and I can't help but think of the exciting moment when everyone was united as one during the Ninja World War in the past... No matter what kind of setbacks the village encounters, only this will not change in any way."

"So, what about Danzo?"

Jiraiya also narrowed his eyes and asked this question.

"Once the battle starts, the roots will move accordingly. Danzo has guaranteed this. After all, this time to attack the kingdom of ghosts, the strong force of the martial arts faction is indispensable. In addition, if the situation permits, Danzo can also be sent to the front line..."

Turning to bed Xiaochun paused, as if thinking about something.

"Are you going to release Danzo?"

Ji Lai also's face changed, and he looked at Zhuan Xiaochun unkindly.

"You should know about Danzo's use of Sharingan to control Hirazan before?"

Turning to bed, Xiaochun didn't answer the question, his eyes revealed a strange light.

"So what?"

"That's Uchiha Shisui's Kaleidoscope Sharingan. Shisui's Sharingan pupil technique 'Bietenshin' has the ability to tamper with the opponent's will. Even the enemy, as long as he is hit by this trick, he will unconditionally obey the speller. And the recruiter himself is unaware of this, it can be called the strongest Sharingan illusion."

Jiraiya's face became more gloomy when he heard the creepy words of Zhuanshu Xiaochun.

"Are you planning to"

Zilai also seems to have guessed some of the schemes of these two people.

"If it is really necessary, I don't care so much. Although I can only control one person, if the illusion is successful, Konoha will have an extremely powerful weapon."

"Release Danzo, you are playing with fire and setting yourself on fire! His power is beyond your control!"

Jiraiya's eyes were full of anger.

He felt that these two people were completely crazy, even thinking of releasing Danzo.

Don't they know what the consequences of releasing Danzo are?

At that time, there will definitely be another Naruto power struggle, which will make Konoha fall into endless civil strife.

His teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen was forced to commit suicide because of Kakashi, but if it wasn't for Danzo's misoperation to provide Kakashi with such a space, this tragedy would not have happened.

It can be said that Danzo also bears a large part of the responsibility for the death of his teacher Hiruzame Sarutobi.

Attacking Hokage in this way, and trying to get involved in the position of Hokage, Konoha Sinner, he will never compromise with him.

"Jiraiya, we are considering Konoha's overall situation. The death of Hirazan has caused Konoha's strength to drop drastically. We, like you, are afraid of Danzo, but his power is indispensable for Konoha today. As long as the final result is beneficial to Konoha, then we can give it a try. Besides, we are only suggesting, and may not necessarily implement it in the end."

Mito Menyan said categorically.

On this matter, he has the same position as Zhuan Sleeping Xiaochun.

After listening to the remarks of the two consultants, Ji Lai also turned pale, staring at the two, releasing a light that seemed to be eating people, without saying a word.

After returning from Ikeno Country, the mission activities of the seventh squad were temporarily suspended.

Using this rare rest time, Sakura continued to ask Tsunade about strange powers and medical ninjutsu.

Only after she really got in touch with Tsunade, did she understand how knowledgeable and talented Tsunade is in the fields of strange power and medical ninjutsu.

Every time she raises doubts, she can get accurate answers from Tsunade immediately.

Even if it's just a few words, to her who is submissive, it's like enlightenment, and she suddenly enlightened.

On this day, Sakura practiced with Tsunade as usual.

It was rare for Tsunade to deal with the official duties of the day in advance, so he took a little time to teach Sakura.

I saw that in the clearing of the forest, Sakura was holding a huge block of stone larger than herself with both hands. The boulder in terms of tonnage was also a huge challenge for Sakura who was new to strange powers.

However, even though her arms and thighs were sore, her heart seemed to be held by a huge hand, and her breathing became more difficult as time went by, but before Tsunade called to stop, Sakura still didn't dare to relax, maintaining a symmetrical posture, and lifted the boulder in midair.

Until the words "Okay, let's put it down" came from the side, Sakura felt relieved and threw down the boulder above her head, and when it fell to the ground, there was a booming sound.

Sakura clapped her palms, dusted off the dust left on her palms, and began to pant softly, trying to make her panting not so obvious, and relax her body to the smallest extent.

Tsunade came over and patted Sakura on the shoulder, as if trying to test something.

Sakura only felt that her shoulders sank, and her whole body seemed to bend downward involuntarily. If she hadn't held her last breath, Sakura would have fallen to the ground desperately and given up thinking.

"Yes, the body is stronger than before. It seems that I can choose a heavier stone for you next time."

Tsunade nodded, his eyes were satisfied with Sakura's performance.

The strange power she cultivates is not a specific technique, but a technical concept of using Chakra. The most intuitive expression is to develop the destructive power of the body to the extreme.

In order to achieve this, one must have a strong body.

If there is no solid body as the foundation, then the most likely result of using her strange power is that before defeating the enemy, the meridian system in her body will be exploded by the concentrated burst of chakra, and she will become a cripple.

Therefore, every time she asks Sakura, each time her monster power rises to a higher level, she must simultaneously strengthen her body, so as to achieve a balance between strength and body.

Any kind of technique has risks, and the cultivation of strange power is naturally full of many obstacles. It is easy to get started, but if you want to naturally integrate the strange power into your body, you need to do it with firm belief.

It seems that people who are afraid of suffering, fear of pain, and weak willpower cannot cultivate their strange power to a high level.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Sakura wiped the sweat off her face, she didn't complain of suffering or tiredness, she could feel that compared to half a year ago, her strength and speed had improved significantly.

In particular, the body's ability to resist blows is not the same as the past self.

"Master Hokage, what kind of training are we going to do next? Is it going to be sparring with strange power?"

Sakura was eager to try, a look of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

I don't know why, since she practiced strange power with Tsunade, every time she was hit by Tsunade's almost abusive physical body, her body always began to resist the wind for no reason, and her hands always felt itchy.

It seems that there is a breath in the body, and I want to find someone to vent it out.

So much so that every time I see a stone on the side of the road recently, I can't help but want to punch it and try the strength of my fist.

Fortunately, my restraint is strong enough, otherwise I will really become a weirdo in the eyes of others.

In Tsunade's words, this is the so-called "fighting desire" accumulated in daily training.

The technique of strange power is the most direct manifestation of violence. It is to use the most primitive body to fight against the enemy. After a long time of contact, the character will inevitably tend to be violent.

Generally speaking, it is enough to find a target and release it regularly. If you hold it in your heart for a long time, it may cause psychological problems.

"Today's practice is almost done, let's practice duel next time. Also, your medical ninjutsu is not behind, right?"

Tsunade asked.

"Yes, I read medical books every day."

Sakura nodded seriously.

"Well, since this is the case, it's almost time to hand that over to you."

Tsunade smiled meaningfully.

"that?"

Sakura tilted her head in confusion.

"Psychic contract in Wetbone Forest."

Under Sakura's astonished gaze, Tsunade made a mudra with both hands, and there was a slam in front of him, setting off a puff of white smoke. When the white smoke disappeared, a wide scroll half the height of a person stood upright on the open space.

"Jiraiya obtained the inheritance of Mt. Myogi, and Orochimaru, who defected, obtained the approval of Rychi Cave. As a medical ninja, I obtained the psychic contract of Shibone Forest. As three ninjas, we each represent a holy land. The inheritance of the three holy places is different, and the focus is also very different. Compared with Mt. Myogi and Ryji Cave, Shibone Forest tends to heal.

Tsunade narrated these things to Sakura.

"But, is it really okay to entrust such an important thing to me, Hokage-sama?"

Sakura was extremely surprised.

Because she knew the names of these holy places, she felt that Tsunade's 'gift' was too precious.

Especially for Medic Ninjas, there is no better Necromancer than this.

"I have seen your hard work these days. To be honest, at first I didn't think you would be able to persevere in the lessons I assigned, and I always showed hesitation in accepting you as an apprentice. But now, in terms of results, your growth has exceeded my expectations, so I decided to officially accept you as an apprentice now. And this contract is the proof of the karma between master and apprentice."

Tsunade touched Sakura's head with a friendly smile, and his eyes were full of encouragement.

"That is to say..."

Sakura couldn't believe it, she stared blankly at Tsunade, unable to react for a while.

"Okay, Sakura, don't stand here in a daze. Hurry up and sign your name on this scroll."

Tsunade's palm left Sakura's head, urging her to quickly sign the contract's name on the scroll.

"Yes, Hokage...No, Master!"

Sakura held back her excitement, and under Tsunade's gaze, she opened the half-human psychic scroll, bit her finger on the latest blank space, wrote the words "Haruno Sakura" on it with blood, and officially signed a psychic contract with Shibone Forest.

Seeing that Sakura had signed the contract, Tsunade undid the summoning technique, making the scroll disappear in a puff of smoke.

"Since you signed the contract, Sakura, let me explain to you the ninja who signed the contract with Shibone Forest. Besides you and me, there is a third person who has drawn up a psychic contract with Shibone Forest."

Tsunade's expression turned serious.

"The third person? Is it also Konoha's ninja?"

Sakura asked curiously.

Tsunade showed a complex color in his eyes, and replied: "No, the Konoha ninja identity of the other party belongs to the past. He has already left Konoha many years ago. And you have seen this person before. He is Chiba Shiraishi who commands the kingdom of ghosts, and is now the leading medical ninja in the ninja world. He used to be a student I taught in the ninja school, so he can barely be regarded as your 'brother'."

Sakura nodded silently, expressing that she remembered.

"As long as you know about him, you don't need to pay too much attention to it. Next, you will learn this jutsu while training in strange power and medical ninjutsu."

Saying that, Tsunade took out a green scroll from his pocket and put it in Sakura's hand.

Sakura took the scroll.

"This is"

"I created an original technique. For you, the sooner you accumulate this technique, the better. In addition, you can read the contents here and remember the content. Finally, I will create a sealing technique in your mind as an insurance to prevent the secret of this technique from being stolen by outsiders."

Tsunade said with a serious expression.

Sakura was taken aback, then agreed:

"yes."

(PS: Let's get to the topic tomorrow...)
