Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 106 A Long and Arduous Road Ahead (Third Update)

"Yubi".

After a while, the meeting ended.

As soon as Yubi stepped out of the building, he heard a voice behind him.

Turning my head, I saw it was Luo Sha.

Yubi greeted him, feigning surprise, and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"It's nothing—I'm just feeling a bit sentimental. Thinking back to when I sent you to the border on a mission, it feels like six years have already passed in the blink of an eye." Luo Sha's expression was stiff as he forced a smile.

He is clearly not very good at socializing, especially when it comes to initiating conversations.

"yes--"

Yubi also noticed some of Luo Sha's reactions during the meeting.

He continued the conversation with a relaxed expression.

One can only imagine that this man, who has already been chosen by the village as the successor to the Kazekage, must be feeling a mix of emotions right now.

"Every time I see you, I can't help but admire your growth and the surprises you bring to others," Luo Sha said.

Yubi had heard from the old folks like Shimizu that Luo Sha was always ruthless and unsmiling on the battlefield. No matter how well his subordinates performed their tasks, he never praised anyone.

Now he's even praising himself.

This gave Yubi a very strange feeling.

"cough--"

Noticing the strange look in Yubi's eyes, Rasa coughed awkwardly and immediately said, "With your abilities, becoming a Kage in the future will be no problem."

Upon hearing this, Yubi suddenly understood.

Luo Sha—he was indeed panicked.

This is to test me—

However, it was clear that Luo Sha's rhetoric was unskilled and awkward.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yubi knew what he was thinking.

"I'm not very interested in becoming a shadow."

Yubi chuckled lightly, "However, whether or not I can become a Kage is not something I can decide—it is a matter of being nominated by the entire village from top to bottom, and all aspects of the candidate must meet the qualifications for a Kage."

"Most importantly, it has the ability to make the village better and better."

"I think Brother Luo Sha is pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha's expression softened somewhat, and he politely replied, "I am still far from being good enough."

Now?

Does that mean you, in the future, will be able to take over as the Wind Shadow?

They really don't beat around the bush at all.

"It's not just me who thinks this way, I'm afraid Granny Chiyo and the others think the same way—I have high hopes for you," Yubi joked.

"Thanks."

Luo Sha smiled.

After a brief chat, Yubi left first.

The two weren't that close, and Luo Sha wasn't a talkative person, so the atmosphere was a bit awkward when they tried to communicate, and they didn't talk much.

But Yubi knew that his answer should have relieved Rosa.

This guy is quite power-hungry.

It's not that he's ambitious, but rather that he's very similar to the Third Hokage; it seems that Rasa doesn't trust anyone else to be the Kazekage.

I just felt that I was capable of doing it.

"Both his strength and his bloodline limit will be extremely important to the village when the Third Shinobi World War breaks out. Therefore, we must appease him first—as for who will become the Fourth Kazekage, hehe—"

This is not a decision that just any one person can make.

On the way back, Yubi thought to himself.

For example, if all the high-ranking officials, including the public and daimyo, forcefully elect him as the Kazekage, then Rasa will have no choice but to accept it.

Even if Yubi himself didn't want to become the Kazekage and had no intention of competing with Rasa, it would be difficult for him to refuse.

This forced rise to power is something that Rosa would probably find more acceptable.

Because—at least it's not that Yubi wanted to become the Wind Shadow, but rather that it was the general trend.

In Yubi's eyes, Rasa is still very important to Sunagakure—they need to find a way to ensure that he can stay in the village and serve the village even after failing to become Kazekage.

Otherwise, losing such a top-tier combatant would be an unbearable loss for Sunagakure, which is already short of talent.

In particular—the Third Kazekage suddenly disappeared.

The reason I'm telling Luo Sha all this now is to give him a heads-up.

He didn't lie to Luo Sha either.

Yubi didn't really have much interest in the position of Kazekage.

Because once you become a film director, you'll be very busy and definitely very tired—and there will be a lot of trouble.

Yubi's plan is to make Sasori the Fourth Kazekage, and he will just help with the ideas. It's not much different from him becoming the Kazekage himself.

But given Scorpion's personality, he probably has no interest in Shadow, just like himself.

They're both equally bad—

It's even possible that Sasori might force himself to become the Fourth Kazekage.

After all, Scorpion only trusted him.

Anyway—when the time comes, if Sasori doesn't succeed to the throne, he'll have to take over himself.

"well--"

Thinking of this, Yubi sighed.

He then opened the system panel.

Host: Yubi.

Identity: Chunin of Sunagakure (Medical Ninja, High-ranking official of Sunagakure).

Age: 14 years old.

Current stored positive experience points (saving lives): 873.

Stored negative experience points (murder): 1201.

Currently redeemed items and abilities in the shop: Black Jack's Medical Notes and Insights, Special Scalpel (from Black Jack); Medical Ninjutsu: Palm Healing Technique, Yin Healing and Wound Destruction, Fine Ailment Extraction Technique, Healing and Regeneration Technique, Chakra Scalpel, Chaotic Body Rush.

Attachment Thread: This allows you to attach threads to a fixed target and control throwing knives for effective shooting.

Death Waltz: Users can manipulate threads with their fingers to perform assassinations that are difficult to detect. They can also bind threads to throwing knives and control them remotely.

(This ability comes from the character Belphegor in Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, and has been assimilated into his self-created ninjutsu, Sword Intent Manipulation.)

）

Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique (Full Progress): Can convert chakra into highly toxic blood for attacks. Masters all techniques including Blood Blade, Bloodstained Scales, Crimson Scale Leap, Crimson Scale Leap - Carry, Hundred Gathering, and derivative skills such as Blood Piercing, Supernova, Canal, and Wing King. All Cursed Embryo effects have been configured (already assimilated into the Bloodline Limit Blood Release).

Reversal Technique: Reverses the original negative energy of the curse power, outputting positive energy, which can be used to heal oneself (already assimilated into a hand seal ninjutsu).

There are some changes on the system panel, mainly that he has more skills.

"Without battlefield buffs—and due to the experience reduction mechanism—the rate at which these two types of experience are gained during peacetime is indeed much slower. Only by igniting war can one hunt down truly strong individuals and story characters."

"The main thing is that it can harvest in large quantities." Yubi glanced at the panel and rubbed his chin.

By the way, once the medicine he developed spreads throughout the ninja world, wouldn't those who are treated by taking the medicine be considered positive experiences?

Yubi was a little excited.

I know it's a bit far-fetched—but what if we manage to exploit a system bug?

"Economically, we've barely established a foundation—once the village's overall situation stabilizes, the next thing to consider is talent—"

"Tsk—thinking about it this way, Sunagakure really has nothing to offer, not even comparable to Kirigakure. At least Kirigakure has a large number of bloodline limit holders—a wealth of talent. It's just that they squandered their talent reserves."

Yubi shut down the system, inwardly grumbling.

Not only are there not enough talented people, but the resources for ninjutsu are also far from sufficient. You have to understand that the combat power system of a village not only needs to rely on individual soldiers to support the framework, but also needs a large number of techniques to enrich the flesh and blood.

These are all things that need to be considered.

In addition, although his current arsenal is sufficient, as a ninja, his methods are not comprehensive enough.

At the very least, the water and earth chakra nature transformations brought about by Blood Release would allow him to learn some related ninjutsu.

I also need to try to see if I have the talent to convert other chakra natures. The more ninjutsu I can learn, the better.

Abundant firepower—that's the only truth.

However, he had too many things to deal with—he was somewhat overwhelmed.

"Forget it, my head is a bit sore. Let's take it one step at a time and finish arranging the things in front of us first."

Yubi shook his head.

Today's meeting has ended—according to the discussion among Fengying and others, he will first temporarily move the research lab from the hospital to an empty building in the village, and the Dark Division will be responsible for its protection and monitoring around the clock, and will check the personnel entering and leaving.

As for the Kazekage and Chiyo, they are already preparing to set off to see the Daimyo, which shows how anxious the higher-ups are.

But Yubi estimated that it would most likely be a wasted trip.

More expectation, more disappointment.
