The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 199: I am old and impatient
End of the meeting.

Li Xia began to visit each major family one by one.

[Aburame family], a medium-sized ninja family in Konoha.

They joined the Hidden Leaf Village in the early days of the Land of Fire and are one of the elder clans. Clan members feed insects with their own chakra, allowing the insects to parasitize their bodies. In other words, every member of the Aburame family is a human-shaped insect nest.

All of their ninjutsu are related to insects, and they fight by driving the insects cultivated in their bodies.

Attack, defense, reconnaissance, detoxification, etc. all require the power of insects.

The Aburame family had already invested in the elite jonin Aburame Ryoma, and had a good relationship with Danzo. In addition, this incident had changed the views of many Konoha families on the Root, and they also had the endorsement of the Third Hokage and the current Fourth Hokage. Under these multiple factors, Li Xia successfully invited the special jonin Aburame Shiguro.

He is also the father of Aburame Tone, one of the future right-hand men of the Nabekage.

Aburame Togen is only two or three years old now, and it is obviously not suitable for her to join the Root.

But the twenty-four-year-old Aburame Shiguro is undoubtedly very suitable.

The power of the nano-sized poisonous insects in this person's hands is not comparable to that of the later Oil Girl.

It is worth mentioning that Aburame Shiguro is also the younger brother of Aburame Shiwei, the future head of the Aburame clan.

Dear brother.

In this way, the Aburame family's investment in the roots is very large.

One is Aburame Ryoma, the younger brother of the current clan leader; the other is Aburame Shiguro, the younger brother of the future clan leader. Aburame Tone is also destined to become a reserve talent for the Root. As long as Ryoma and Shiguro don't get into trouble as in the original timeline, the Root and the Aburame family will have a deep bond that cannot be cut off.

As the leader of the root tribe, Li Xia would naturally not let his two beloved generals be killed.

"Chakra is a person's spiritual power and life force, but you, the Aburame clan, use your own chakra to feed the bugs, which is equivalent to constantly consuming your own lifespan. Generally, there are no long-lived people in the clan, and you basically don't see people over the age of sixty. Is this the reason?"

Li Xia, who was taking Aburame Shiguro to the next family, suddenly stopped and turned back to ask.

The young man who was being questioned was stunned at first, then nodded:

"It does have something to do with this. When the tribe members reach old age, they will be unable to do anything."

It was fine when they were young. They had plenty of strength and energy, and could extract a large amount of chakra to raise small pets like parasitic bugs.

“Have the older generation ever thought about giving up bugs and enjoying their old age?”

"By then, you can't live without bugs."

Just like flour and opium, once you get addicted, it's very difficult to quit.

What's more, every member of the Oil Woman tribe is a severe drug addict.

"Follow me and work hard. I can solve the problem you and your son have with their roots... Hey, I really like that kid from your family. He named him after my roots."

Li Xia left this message and continued walking towards the second ninja clan.

The oil girl takes the root, the oil girl removes the "root"...

How suggestive?

"Master Danzo, can you solve this problem of our clan?"

The young man's eyes hidden behind his sunglasses lit up.

...

[Nara Clan] is also one of the elder families of Konoha Village.

The family members are mainly responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the entire Konoha medical system. They have been raising deer for Konoha Village for generations and providing high-quality medicinal materials. The Nara family has made great achievements in medicine. Moreover, everyone should know that the pharmaceutical business is generally very profitable.

The Nara family is considered to be the most successful family in the entire Naruto series.

First of all, although he was in the vortex of power, he was far away from it: he was the opposite of the Uchiha who wanted to compete for power. Therefore, the Uchiha was finally wiped out by the Hokage lineage.

Secondly, as a wise man, wisdom and strategy come first: other clans use military force and fighting power to win the respect and recognition of others, but the Nara clan is not like that. They use their brains to win status.

The key is that the three clans joined forces and shared the same hatred for the enemy: the Nara clan's family secrets were not lethal enough, so they formed the famous "Ino-Shika-Cho" combination with the Yamanaka clan and the Akimichi clan. The Yamanaka clan was responsible for intelligence gathering, the Nara clan was responsible for formulating strategies and tactics, and the two clans were also responsible for control. The Akimichi clan, with its good attack power, was the one who gave the enemy a fatal blow.

The three tribes are not worth mentioning if separated.

Once the three tribes form a tacit Pig, Deer and Butterfly combination, they can basically fight anyone below the Kage level.

Finally, he successfully stood on the team every time and was always valued by the Hokage lineage, and he even invested in Kakashi and Naruto, who were the most worthy of investment, in advance.

When the Seventh Hokage Uzumaki Naruto came to power, the young Nara Shikamaru's status could be said to be second only to the first person in the entire Konoha Village.

Although this family is not very populous, with only a dozen or so jonin and special jonin during the Fourth World War, there are people who become members of the Hokage's strategic team in almost every generation.

During this period, it was Nara Shikaku, and in the future it was Nara Shikaku's son Nara Shikamaru.

They are all consultant-type talents.

He is the one who schemes.

However, Nara Shikaku was already the designated leader of the Nara clan, the leader of the jonin squad, and the designated chief of staff of Minato Namikaze, so it was impossible for him to be dug out by the Root. Unless Li Xia had come ten years earlier, there would still be a possibility.

Now he can only settle for the next best thing and poach Nara Yanshio, who is only 14 years old.

The boy is still just a Genin now.

After the Third World War, the Chunin Exam will begin, and you should be able to be promoted to Chunin.

In a few years, he will definitely become a special jonin, and one of the few jonin of the Nara family in the future.

In the original work, he helped Kakashi deal with powerful enemies such as Zabuza who was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation. He has decent perception and can predict the sneak attack of Explosion Release: Hunting in the chaotic battlefield. He also inherited the excellent characteristics of the Nara family, such as being calm in the face of danger, having a clear mind, and being able to calmly deal with all emergencies.

What Li Xia valued was naturally not the boy’s shadow imitation technique and other family secret skills.

Instead, it is to fill a major shortcoming at the root: the lack of staff and command talents.

A group of elites who have only strength but no strategic and tactical vision can easily fail if they encounter the Rain Country incident in the original work.

...

The Nara family was successful, so the Yamanaka family would be no exception.

He was gone after three days in the mountains at the age of 14 and a stroke in the mountains at the age of 9.

The former is one of the pig, deer and butterfly combinations from Nara Saltwater.

The latter is the right-hand man of one of Danzo's die-hard fans in the original work.

Following is Akimichi Naoki from the Akimichi family, forming a perfect combination of Pig, Deer and Butterfly.

Li Xia poached people from more than a dozen small and medium-sized families, including the Morino family, the Uzuki family, the Kurama family, the Akamon family, the Umihara family, the Kazami family, the Kamatsuki family, the Ko family, the Shigaraki family, and the Tono family.

For example, in the original work, Konoha’s future torture captain: Morino Ibiki.

He is only 14 years old now.

Another example is the two most iconic goalkeepers of Konoha Village in the future: Izumo Kamatsuki and Tetsu Koko. They are only 11 years old.

Don't think that these people will only be special jonin who excel in certain aspects in the future, their real potential is far more than that.

What limits their growth is nothing more than the lack of proper inheritance and teaching.

For example, the two gatekeepers don't even know how to perform an A-level ninjutsu. The upper class's knowledge blockade of the middle and lower classes is too severe. Let's put it this way, if you rely on your own talents to reach the top level, as long as you are trained well, you have the hope of becoming a jonin or even entering the elite field.

Definitely high-quality cannon fodder.

Children, the earlier you lay the foundation, the better.

It can still be rescued before the age of 15.

He poached these children for their own good.

It is for the prosperity of Konoha.

He has good intentions.

Everyone saw his good intentions, even the Uchiha clan wanted to send people to the Root.

But he didn't want it for now.

If the Uchiha hawks really wanted to do this, how would the other three old friends in Konoha F4 view this matter? Would one of them be able to choke his money bag?

Moreover, if we take other Uchiha members now, how can we recruit Uchiha Shisui later?

...

Of course.

In addition to targeting the ninja families in the village, Li Xia also reserved some children from civilian families.

Finally, he focused on the orphans who were displaced by war.

It has only been a few months since the Third Ninja World War ended, and minor local frictions are still continuing.

In this situation, it is the perfect time for him to make drastic measures to screen out orphans!
There were a lot of poor kids ranging from four to five to ten years old.

Specialized personnel will conduct simple basic tests to see if these children have the most basic conditions to refine chakra and become ninjas.

(Five-year-old Naruto was able to use the clone technique when he encountered a bullied little Hinata... This shows that children can try to refine chakra at a very early age.)
Those who don't have the ninja qualifications...

Sorry, the orphanage doesn't keep idle people.

Those who have the qualifications of a ninja will be kept for observation and full body examination to ensure that their bodies or brains have not been tampered with beforehand! Then they will be brainwashed by special people to instill in him the greatness of the Root leader! Instill in him the idea that everything must be obeyed by him!
Then, one by one, they personally planted the seeds to eradicate the evil of tongues.

Subsequently, we will select high-quality talents from among them and give them intensive training in the secret arts.

Don’t be discouraged if you are eliminated, Rock Lee is a good role model.

I'm not good at ninjutsu or illusion, so I'm good at physical skills.

Xiao Li can train to the point where he can open seven gates, and there are a lot of people with better physical talent than Xiao Li. Why can't they become elites who can open six or seven gates under the baptism of his "Root Will"?

"Terai, how is Kabuto doing?"

In front of Li Xia, kneeling on one knee was a twelve-year-old boy wearing a root mask.

"Very good! He eliminated all the more than 30 people in the same period!"

The young man said respectfully.

"Where is Nono?"

"The summoned beast reported that it has successfully left the Land of Earth and reunited with the support team. It is now crossing the Land of Grass."

"The Land of Grass? That means it's very likely that I'll run into my shadow clone and Ryoma?"

Li Xia nodded after understanding the general situation:

"Okay, go down and teach your fellow students well. Don't let me down."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

...

Three days of poaching and orphan selection.

This side of Kusagakure Village.

His shadow clone and Aburame Ryoma were leading two squads of Root elites to negotiate with the four elder Kusanagi.

These are two of the few elite squads left at the root.

"Advisor Danzo, Miss Vanilla and her daughter are both members of our Kusagakure Village. We have protected their family for many years..."

"Cut the nonsense!

You Kusagakure should know the relationship between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan, right? Bullying them, an orphan and a widow, is fine, but you still want to bargain with me at this time?

Are you serious? "

Li Xia glanced at the four old guys indifferently.

The look in his eyes chilled the four of them.

"We understand, let's pack for them."

"Is that all? I don't have to pay for each treatment?"

"We are willing to compensate 200 million..."

"Are you sending beggars away?"

"She was pregnant before, but we didn't touch her..."

"But you guys exploited her for more than a year! And it was during the Third Ninja World War!

Compensate 2 million and the matter will be over.

By the way, don’t bargain with me; I am old and impatient…”

Li Xia's shadow clone knocked on the table, and then threatened calmly:
"Although our Konoha Village has just suffered heavy losses in the Third War, you should know the strengths of Konoha!"

"Advisor Danzo, we don't have that much money!"

The four elders looked very unhappy.

"Then pay it in installments. Just pay it off within five years."

He is familiar with this operation.

Well, he had been a house slave for more than ten years in his previous life, so how could he not be familiar with it?
