Having tasted the sweetness of the spinach balls, Akimichi Torifu promptly ate the curry balls. A warm current quickly surged into his body, providing extremely high calories.

"well!"

Akimichi Torifu praised repeatedly, looking at Aomine with great anticipation: "Then what about the chili balls?"

"Chili balls are still under development."

Aozumi chuckled softly and said, "As a learning base for the Will of Fire in Konoha, Root will provide the Akimichi clan with the improved formula for Spinach Pills free of charge."

"However, the resources at the root are also limited, and we hope to receive a corresponding return when we give."

Qiu Daoqufeng's expression froze for a moment, then he slowly nodded: "You're right, Chief Qingshui, this is only right."

Akimichi Torifu remained silent with great composure, but his eyes held an undisguised anticipation.

He was waiting for Qingshui's offer!

But Qingshui smiled and didn't continue talking to Qiudao Qufeng:

"In the process of researching the Akimichi family's Three-Colored Pill, I also developed several health-enhancing medicines. The formulas were developed based on the unique medicinal materials of the Nara clan."

"This is one of the finished products, which is very good for maintaining the tense brain of a ninja."

Aoshui pushed a box of medicine and a prescription in front of the Nara clan chief, gesturing for him to examine it.

The Nara clan chief's eyes lit up. Ignoring Akimichi Torifu's urgent gaze, he carefully examined the prescription and then swallowed it.

Instantly, the Nara clan chief felt a cool and refreshing sensation in his head, and even his thoughts became faster. The persistent, dull pain deep in his brain was relieved at this moment.

For the Nara people, whose brains are always in motion, this is a rare and excellent tonic!

The Nara clan chief decisively said:

"Aoshui, our Nara clan is willing to provide elite members for Root. Since Root's Will of Fire is so inspiring and moving, our Nara clan cannot let Chief Aoshui down. We must join this big family!"

Akimichi Torifu frowned. How come this usually clever old man doesn't even know how to bargain?

But immediately, Akimichi Torifu felt a pain in his calf as the Nara clan chief silently kicked him.

Akimichi Torifu was startled and quickly followed up with:

"The Akimichi clan is the same! We ask for nothing in return, only that the Akimichi clan participates in the Will of Fire of Root!"

This kick woke Akimichi Torifu up.

The Qing Shui in front of him was not a pushover who could be bullied or sold off.

Instead, he was a Root leader who could overthrow Shimura Danzo, with a gentle smile but even more ruthless methods.

He possesses the will of fire, yet he is never lacking in toughness, just like his teacher.

As Qiu Daoqufeng reflected on Qingshui's extremely hawkish attitude towards the other hidden villages, he felt a pang of regret. He had spent too much time at home, living the life of a wealthy man, and had even lost his basic political sensitivity.

In reality, Akimichi Torifu was a bit simple-minded. Back when Tobirama Senju asked who would cover the retreat, he actually said in public, "Those who cover the retreat will definitely die, so who will go..."

Qingshui demonstrated the improved version of the Mind Transfer Technique to the clan chief in the mountains, but did not provide the corresponding training method. He only let him experience the almost doubled intensity.

They showed the Aburame clan an improved version of the parasitic insect that was being cultivated...

He demonstrated a new type of taijutsu derived from beast-mimicking ninjutsu to the Inuzuka clan…

Finally, it showcased Root's abundant reserves of ninjutsu, stating that these resources are fully open to Root ninjas.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think there is some misunderstanding."

Qingshui slowly rose to his feet, his eyes flashing with tomoe, his powerful gaze sweeping over the assembled ninja clan leaders:

"While the Root organization needs manpower right now, it's not that we're forcing you all. It's just that your clans are the backbone of Konoha, and because of your past achievements, the slots are being offered to you first."

"The new Root will not force any Konoha ninja to join. We only need comrades who agree with the path of the Will of Fire and elites who have the ability to develop into the cornerstone of Konoha."

"The roots draw nutrients from the bottom and eventually feed them back to the leaves. As the roots support the leaves, they need incredibly strong essence. I hope everyone can understand this principle."

"Everyone, you can take your spoils and head back now..."

With a wave of his hand, Qingshui dismissed the guests without even listening to the replies from the Yamanaka and Aburame clans.

The clan leaders of the various ninja clans reluctantly rose to their feet, their minds in turmoil under the powerful allure of the Root clan's profits.

The Nara clan chief, however, spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, seemingly to Akimichi Torifu, yet still faintly audible to Aoshui and the others present:

"Take the wind! The leader of the Qingshui clan's teacher is Lady Tsunade, who is currently the Hokage's assistant!"

Do I need to emphasize these principles to you? If you don't place your bets and stand firm now, how will you gain respect in the future?

"Do you think Jiraiya and Orochimaru still have a good chance? It's very difficult, don't hesitate..."

The Nara clan chief, holding Akimichi Torifu's hand, quickly left the venue.

Qingshui smiled as he watched the Nara clan chief's departing figure and nodded in satisfaction.

In this ninja world, there will always be clever people, like Yakushi Nonou of Root and the Nara clan chief...

After the Nara clan chief finished speaking, the other clan chiefs, though knowing full well that the message was meant for them, were still moved.

Although the war that will reshuffle the deck has not yet arrived, given Aoshi's strength in holding the Root and his outstanding talent, can Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who have more seniority than him, compete with him?

The answer to this question, combined with Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude, seems to be becoming increasingly clear.

After all the clan leaders left, a man who had been silent until now turned back and looked at Qing Shui with fanatical eyes:

"Lord Qingshui, I am sorry that the Hyuga clan has refused your invitation, but I beg you to let me join Root. I am willing to give everything for your will and for the new Root!"

Of all the ninja clans in Konoha, those invited by Aoshui all came, except for the Hyuga clan.

Only the Hyuga clan explicitly rejected Aozumi's invitation!

Just like in the original timeline, when Konoha and Kumogakure held a peace celebration, all the Konoha ninja from Jonin to Genin attended, but this clan was the only one without a single member present, as they were celebrating the third birthday of the main branch's eldest son...

Just as the Hyuga clan does not exist in the Anbu or Root, this powerful clan of Konoha also rejected the invitation from the new Root.

Qingshui shook his head with a sigh and patted him on the shoulder: "Hizashi, do you represent the Hyuga clan?"

Hyuga Hizashi shook his head resolutely: "Lord Aoshui, I only speak for myself!"

Aomizu smiled gently: "Hizashi, I really admire the will of fire burning within you..."

"Come with me. You are the first member to join the new Root. I hope that your Will of Fire can burn away some things that are hindering the new era in the future."

Hyuga Hizashi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly nodded: "I will certainly live up to your expectations, Lord Aomine!"

Second update!!

Hopefully, I won't hear the electric drill when I get home from get off work tomorrow!

Buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing OR2!

Totally crazy!

Book Title: My Sin Value is Maxed Out, So I Entered a Horror Game

Summary:

On July 15th, the horror game officially launched its open beta.

As the only human on Earth with an eleven-digit sin value, Li Yi was completely bewildered. He hadn't actually done anything wrong; he was just a diligent Paradox Interactive player. However, a system error had caused his in-game crimes to be included in the statistics.

A misunderstanding arose.

So, after the game started, Li Yi stood on the judgment platform and tried to explain to the system the origin of these sin values, but was rejected by the system.

“I know, Li Yi, you are a human being with a great talent for being inhuman. I hope you can join our company. Horror games need your talent.”

that's it.

Having received recognition from the system and possessing an executive's ID card, Li Yi entered the game completely bewildered.

Even more bewildered than him were the diligent junior staff members in the dungeon.

Chapter 126 We welcome talented and extraordinary people, especially those with a strong moral compass.

Not tall

"Akimichi Choza, Akimichi-do East..."

"Nara Shikaku, Nara Suzaku...

"Mountain in the first month, mountain in the third month..."

"Aburame Zhiwei, Aburame Muta..."

"Inuzuka Tsurugi, Moonlight Chill, Sarutobi Koken, Kurama Kuroku... "

Qingshui sat in the main seat of the conference room, smiling as he looked at the new members who had joined Root and called out their names.

After the last meeting, the ninja clan leaders gave Qingshui a long list, indicating that Qingshui could choose freely.

The Konoha ninja clans mentioned above by Qing Shui were all the result of careful selection.

Aside from the Hyuga clan still feigning death, Hiruzen Sarutobi also sent several senior Jonin to congratulate the establishment of the new Root organization with smiles, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.

This move deeply touched the hearts of the ninja clan.

With the new Root's power expanding so much, everyone was initially hesitant and considering Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude...

After all, the previous leader of Root was firmly suppressed by him. Although Shimura Danzo was demanding geniuses from the village, everyone with eyes could see that Hiruzen Sarutobi knew what was going on. Root was not expanding indiscriminately, but was merely an extension of the Hokage's will.

However, in recent high-level meetings...

Hiruzen Sarutobi, with an extremely firm attitude, withstood pressure from all sides, ignored the doubts of the conservative faction in the Jonin team, and severely reprimanded Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, ordering everyone not to question Tsunade's role as Hokage's assistant and the leader of Root Aozumi.

He even cleverly used the banner of the Will of Fire to show that anyone who disobeyed his orders as the Hokage was disrupting the higher-ups' plans and would be treated as a traitor!

At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi provided tremendous support to Root.

From funding and ninja resources to village systems and procedures, the Hokage used his authority to give the green light, acting decisively to a shocking degree.

The ninja clans and Jonin of Konoha were dumbfounded.

When did Hiruzen Sarutobi, a conservative Hokage, become so willing to delegate authority?

It didn't even feel like a delegation of power; it was more like finding an opportunity and an excuse to dump all the power onto Qing Shui and Root, as if afraid that his power as Hokage would be too complete.
