Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

A few minutes later, the bloodied Takigakure was suspended from a tree trunk by silk threads.

His feet, which were suspended in mid-air, twitched intermittently, suggesting that he was not yet dead.

But the breath was gradually fading away.

"Hmm... I knew it... the brain, the heart, the main blood vessels in the body... the principle is overdraft..."

"Not only his chakra, but even the electromagnetic waves emitted by his brain are so noticeable... It seems that even his mental abilities have been enhanced along with the chakra burst. However, it's a pity that due to his limited abilities, he couldn't unleash the true effects of the Hero's Water..."

"For him, his mental strength has also been enhanced, so what he can do is not just increase the output of chakra, but improve the 'overall' efficiency of the technique..."

"Emotionally... there also seem to be some signs of things getting out of control."

Yubi's curious voice echoed from the mountain forest.

Several birds took flight in fright above the shade of the trees, circling away.

Having mastered the secret technique, Takigakure's twitching legs finally stopped moving.

It has completely lost its vitality.

"Hmm... The meridians in the heart are key to generating chakra. It seems this liquid is very stimulating to the heart, as are Kakuzu's secret technique, Earth Grudge Fear, and Sasori's puppet core. However, Kakuzu's secret technique is driven by himself... which is relatively easier and more controllable. The creation and use of the puppet core are more refined and more difficult..."

"Is he dead? If only he could have held on a little longer... so I could have studied him more properly."

Yubi's regretful voice rang out.

Then there was a rustling sound, as if he was sewing something together.

After a while, Yubi, whose black clothes were somewhat torn, stepped out from the mountains littered with the corpses of tits, carrying two bodies.

leave quickly.

The corpse of a secret ninja from Takigakure is definitely very valuable.

There must be someone willing to pay for it.

Although the body had been tampered with by him and was slightly damaged.

It should fetch a good price.

That's why Yubi's eyes lit up.

As for... Hero's Water, he had known for a long time that Takigakure Village had this thing, but he didn't have any particular thoughts about it.

While this resource can increase chakra, it also has significant side effects.

After thoroughly studying the 'sample', the results were also very disappointing to him.

It wasn't the kind he wanted.

Of course, although he couldn't use it, the Hero's Water was still very valuable to the village as a strategic reserve.

"However, his secret technique is quite interesting. If we bring it back to the village and hand it over to specialized researchers, we might be able to make some discoveries... It's a pity that I'm not skilled in Yin Release, otherwise I could have collected this secret technique for the village. Most ninja villages would protect this kind of secret technique to prevent it from being leaked. This person's brain might also have been implanted with some kind of technique. Once his memories are spied on or his mind is controlled, he might die automatically... The ninjutsu information left behind would be limited."

"My current status is a bit special, so... it's best not to let the village know about this."

"However... once the new structure of the village stabilizes in the future, we can try to find some ninjutsu resources and talents from the ninja world to enrich the combat configuration of Sunagakure."

On the way, Yubi thought of it.

……

Hurry up and ride at full speed.

Yubi barely got any rest.

A few days later, he returned to his base in the Land of Wind.

The exchange locations also exist in the other four major countries, and they are closer to each other. For safety reasons, Yubi turned back the way he came.

"..."

The old man who ran the gold exchange was surprised that the man in black had returned so quickly, and that he had brought two corpses with him.

The old man was quite shocked by this efficiency.

He realized he had misjudged the situation.

Judging from the wasted time, just traveling alone... that's already a lot, not to mention the assassination attempt.

This means that the other party acted immediately upon finding the target.

The whole process went very smoothly.

But the fact that they were able to bring back a corpse of Takigakure means that the other side must have been ambushed by Takigakure.

After a moment of silence, the old man, as usual, paid Yubi with a box of cash.

"The nobleman's body is fine... but this Takigakure body has been stitched together, it must be you, right?... Although you possess secret techniques, there may not be anyone who wants you." The old man said this, but his hands were not slow. He placed the two corpses in the secret room and began to take out some tools to process them.

Yubi counted the money excitedly, without looking up, and said, "It's okay... I'll only take half of whatever we can sell."

"I'll give it a try..."

"it is good."

Their conversation was very simple.

After confirming that the amount of payment was correct, Yubi immediately turned and left.

The basement walls slowly closed, and a thought crossed the old man's mind: "This person...could he be a rogue ninja from Sunagakure..."

Someone with this level of skill is definitely not an ordinary person.

Yubi's next stop is the Stone Country, located between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth.

The battle between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth in this Shinobi World War was not as intense, and the front lines were mostly near the Land of Birds. Therefore, the war between the two great powers did not have a significant impact on this small country.

It's worth mentioning that the lord of this small country is quite capable, mediating between the two major powers and preventing the small country from becoming a strategic buffer zone. This is because the country has some connections with both the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, and has relatively good "interpersonal relationships".

I've heard that before the war, the daimyo of the Land of Stone would often visit the daimyo of the two great nations.

Clearly, the lords of each country also had their own social circles.

This is where the complexity of politics comes from.

But... right now, Yubi desperately needs money.

Therefore, even if the Land of Stone and the Land of Wind established diplomatic relations, it could not stop him from taking action.

Anyway, as long as my identity isn't revealed, it's fine.

Nothing is more important than making money.

……

On the other side, Sunagakure Village.

Just as Yubi had predicted.

Luo Sha couldn't resist in the end... and made a move.

Therefore, the Daimyo invested the new funds into the village's military system, whether to put on a show for the Daimyo or to prevent the possibility of war breaking out again at any time. Based on the lessons learned from the failure of the Second Shinobi World War, the village began a realistic military exercise under the arrangement of the Third Kazekage.

The person in charge of the exercise was Luo Sha.

To this end, the village specially drew personnel from various organizations, including Nohara Murashi and Fukushimaoka.

Scorpion became an observer of this exercise, responsible for reporting the daily training results to higher-ups in real time.

As Jonin, Murashi and Fukushima became squad leaders on the training battlefield, but their performance greatly displeased Rasa... He even emphasized their mistakes in carrying out missions in front of all the Sunagakure ninja on several occasions, which made Murashi and Fukushima lose face.

There was already conflict between the three of them... and now the tension has escalated even further.

However, no matter what, Rasa was a high-ranking official, and also the overall person in charge and commander of the exercise. The discipline of ninjas still made Murashi and Fukushima Oka shut up and swallow their bitter pill.

When Yubi received Sasori's message while she was away, she knew that... the conflict was about to explode.

Because when Scorpion conveyed this to the higher-ups, he intentionally emphasized that Murashi and the other person were "not up to standard".

In reality, neither of them had any problems carrying out the mission... it's just that Luo Sha's standards were too high, and the two of them simply couldn't meet them.

Luo Sha's explanation is also quite interesting.

The implication is that Murashi and the other two are the future "powerful ninjas" of Sunagakure, and they are well-liked by the villagers and frequently mentioned.

In that case, the performance should naturally be even better... Otherwise, it would be a disappointment to the villagers and an unworthy honor.

However, what Yubi cared about was not the conflict between the three, but another part of the letter.

This is information that is publicly available among high-level officials.

The Daimyo has said that he would reduce the size of Sunagakure's army if necessary.

To put it bluntly, it's about reducing the number of ninjas in the village.

This is also why the Third Kazekage and others were under immense pressure.

Yubi didn't know whether to call the Daemon of the Land of Wind stupid or willful.

The Sand Village and the Land of Wind are one entity. If the village's military capabilities decline, the safety of the Land of Wind will naturally be compromised... Everyone understands the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold".

But ironically, the future daimyo of the Land of Wind actually did just that…

Of course, there is also the possibility that the daimyo of the Land of Wind is also short of money.

If that's the case, then it's understandable.

"If it's simply because they're disappointed with the village's performance, then deliberately showing off and punishing them... that would be incredibly idiotic."

After destroying the letter, Yubi said softly, "It's really unpleasant to have someone who knows nothing about war pointing fingers at you from above. After the village is reshuffled, it seems we'll have to think of a way to deal with this daimyo."
