The Will Of Fire Cannot Save The Ninja World

Chapter 127 Immortal Race

In the valley west of the village, several figures searched and checked back and forth.

Yue Guangjin hammered his waist, and said helplessly: "There are no corpses, no traces, no witnesses, a hundred people really died here?"

Mitarashi Zhang gave him a funny look: "Why, you can't bear it just after getting married?"

Yue Guangjin blushed: "What nonsense, I have a work-related injury!"

Yushou Xizhang said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, after all, both of you are ninjas."

Yue Guangjin couldn't bear the entanglement of the old fritters, looked left and right, and his eyes fell on Hatake Sakumo's back: "Okay, let's see if Senior Hatake finds out. If not, it probably really is a rumor."

They came here to investigate the so-called death of a hundred people in the west of the village, but so far they have not gained anything.

Thinking about it, if it was such an important matter, Anbu would have investigated it himself, so why bother them who are not good at finding murderers.

"Senior Hatake, did you find anything?"

Yue Guangjin and others are also close to White Fang because they have a good relationship with Uchiha Yuye.

They are strong supporters of White Fang in the village.

"Not found yet."

Hatake Sakumo seemed to be thinking about something, he hesitated for a moment before turning back, seeing that other people were indifferent, "I've checked everything that needs to be searched here, go back if you don't find anything."

Moonlight took a look at Hatake Sakumo, for some reason, he felt that the senior had something on his mind.

But having something on his mind doesn't mean it's related to them, it's related to today's mission. After thinking about it, he asked, "Aren't seniors going back together?"

Hatake shook his head: "No, I have to go to the supermarket."

He waited for everyone to leave, until there was no one around.

A ninja dog came out of the forest, and the fluffy golden retriever asked, "Are you sure you don't need to report it?"

Hatake Sakumo smiled bitterly: "Since they assigned me to take charge of this task, they should be aware of it. Reporting or not reporting will not affect their judgment."

Here, as Yue Guangjin and others said, there are no corpses and no traces.

But not without smell.

This place is relatively close to the village, so there is more or less residual breath.

If you have to say whose it is, the mixed smell makes it difficult to judge who it is.

Even if it is judged whose smell is stronger, it can only mean that the other party has stayed nearby, but there is nothing here, so naturally it cannot be convicted by rumors.

But Hatake knows that the essence of this mission is not to find criminals.

But for the gap between two people——

He, Hatake Sakumo, and Uchiha Oya.

The most obvious smell that the golden retriever smells here is Uchiha Yuye's.

"They've looked into it a long time ago, but they haven't been able to find evidence."

Hatake Sakumo sighed, "Throw it to me now, just to let me know about it."

The golden retriever sighed humanely: "Then do we still have to investigate?"

Hatake Sakumo looked lonely for a long time, then nodded: "At least, I have to know what happened."

The golden retriever raised his head and sniffed, "Then come with me."

Uchiha's activities in the village are not extensive.

Most are inside the Uchiha mansion.

Following the breath outside Uchiha's mansion, the golden retriever led Hatake Sakumo to slowly explore inside and outside the village.

The golden retriever stopped at a house on the edge of the village: "There is a residual breath here, left from yesterday."

It searched along the ground, but soon lost its source.

It seems that the smell is somewhere deep underground, out of reach.

Hatake Sakumo stood on the top of a tree, looking at the interior of the house.

In a small courtyard of a simple folk house, couples over half a century old are eating.

And in the small attic on the second floor, the beige-colored little girl was eating a light lunch in a regular manner, her eyes were dull, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Suddenly she seemed to notice something, and when she turned her head, she only saw empty treetops.

Hatake Sakumo landed next to the golden retriever and shook his head: "It's not here."

The girl in the private house, Hatake Sakumo knows.

It is the Erwei Jinchūriki brought back by Yuye from Cloud Shinobi Village.

But that was a few days ago.

And Yu Ye is the breath left over from yesterday.

Hatake Sakumo felt a heavy heart.

The golden retriever continued to take Hatake Sakumo around.

Not a department store, not a rotisserie.

One person and one dog trampled all over the village, and they have already made a detour to the garbage dump.

When Hatake Sakumo saw that he had searched everything except Uchiha's mansion, he was finally about to breathe a sigh of relief.

The golden retriever suddenly yelled at the garbage dump twice.

Hatake Sakumo suddenly became serious.

He looked around. This is where the village disposes of garbage, and it occupies a large area.

It seems that it is really suitable for hiding corpses.

But Yu Ye would really be so careless?

Even Hatake Sakumo himself would not believe it.

And there are often Genin here to do D-level missions, there are really a hundred of them, and they have been discovered long ago.

The golden retriever sneezed irritated by all kinds of smells: "Although it is very weak, it does have his smell."

Hatake Sakumo nodded, searching carefully under the hot summer sun.

On the road, I occasionally encountered a few Genin teams dealing with D-level tasks, but they just staggered quickly.

Hatake looked at the back of Genin who was doing the processing task, and shook his head slightly: "Maybe it's just the garbage he threw away that was transported here."

The golden retriever shook the dog's head and looked at the gravel yard next door: "No, that smell comes from there."

Hatake Sakumo looked back and was slightly surprised when he saw the gravel field.

The gravel collected here near the village is used for processing, but the demand for wood leaves is not large, and they are often left untouched.

After Hatake Sakumo showed his ID, he asked the dozing security guard to open the gate.

The golden retriever bit its tail and looked around, saying from time to time: "Here, here, there are some more."

Hatake Sakumo followed, looking more and more strange.

This place is obviously full of stones, how could there be the aura of Yuye?

Suddenly, he saw a strangely shaped stone.

He scraped open the gravel and picked it up. It was shaped like—a human ear?

Hatake Sakumo pursed his lips and had a bad guess in his mind.

He collected all the stones that Jin Mao pointed out, no matter their shape or size.

Until it was almost evening, Hatake Sakumo looked at the gravel placed in the open space in front of him——

There were tiny stones behind, but he still found a few stones with unique shapes.

Some are shaped like noses, some are shaped like teeth, and some are like fingers.

And look at the amount of these stones. 100 people?

It was clearly a hot day, but Hatake Sakumo felt chills all over his body.

In a trance, images from a few years ago flashed through his mind.

That's when he heard that Shimura Danzō used Uchiha Oya as bait and narrowly escaped death.

He hurried back to find Shimura Danzō.

He thought of Shimura Danzō's question after question, of his own promise

After some time, Hatake Sakumo came back to his senses.

He looked at the human ear gravel in his hand, leaned over and put it down carefully, but when it touched the ground, he trembled slightly.

...

"Is this the immortal species?"

Hyuga Mio stared obsessively at the white bud-like seeds on the table.

Her white eyes could see the extremely violent and powerful power contained in it.

Compared to Qiyue, who can only come and go freely in Hyuga's house now, she has never participated in the research of natural energy, and it is the first time she has seen this fascinating power.

"It can be regarded as a preliminary and perfect version."

Yu Ye nodded, this fairy species was the solution he found with the bodies of death row prisoners and robbers.

It is still too difficult to practice Sage Mode directly. Without the help of the experience of the Three Holy Lands, even he can hardly solve it.

Not to mention helping ordinary people obtain the power of immortals.

But he found an alternative over-the-top solution - the fairy race.

It is said to be a seed, but it is actually an organ created with part of the Hashirama cells and the flesh and blood of the Sage Body.

Organs can be transplanted inside the human body.

What is inside Kakuzu is the original version of the immortal species.

The kind that cannot use the power of a fairy, only has the function of preservation. When the organ weakens, the natural energy inside will leak out, turning the human body into petrification.

The current version, in addition to storage, can already be used initially.

——When it is stored in the human body, the natural energy in it can be transferred when it needs to be used. The seeds have the ability to isolate the inside and outside, and will only petrify themselves slowly.

Before it is completely petrified and loses its function, it will not harm the human body.

Its advantage is that it does not require cultivation qualifications.

Just store it in your body, learn how to mobilize the natural energy, how to use it.

The disadvantage is that, first of all, it cannot be mass-produced.

Hashirama cells and Sage Body flesh and blood, the cost of culture is too high.

Second, it is a consumable.

When the natural energy inside is exhausted, or the seed itself is completely petrified, it will lose its effect.

If it is forced to be called, then the outside world will frantically pour in natural energy, causing the human body to petrify.

Therefore, regular surgical replacement is required.

Each seed, with normal use, can last for two months.

But if the battles are frequent, a few days, or even a high-intensity protracted battle can consume them all.

"It will be perfected for two more days, and after making sure there is no problem, call the children over."

Yu Ye collected the seeds and prepared to cultivate and experiment again.

Now Kakuzu has gone to the Land of Rain to work.

Hizashi has been transferred to the Iron Country, ready to be in charge of intelligence collection.

Yuye plans to place two people in the Iron Fang Chamber of Commerce before Hizashi goes on a long-term mission.

The candidates were the older brothers Mal and Zekin.

The two of them quickly lost their habit of being ninjas during the training camp these days.

After planting immortal seeds for them, they will be sent to the Iron Fang Chamber of Commerce for systematic training of wandering warriors.

With the part of the immortal power they have mastered, it is enough to set off a storm there.

After the storm has passed, you can slowly start casting bait, declaring the birth of a brand new warrior

Hyuga Mio nodded: "What about Azabui and Samui?"

Speaking of these two female dolls, Hyuga Mio's face was both worried and doting.

The two little lolita are cute alone.

But when two people stand together, the sharp contrast in appearance and personality makes people love it even more.

Yu Ye thought for a while: "The two of them have good talents and have more room for growth in the future. Take your time. At least you have to wait until you are five years old before you think about it."

Hyuga Mio patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really reluctant to send these two cuties away now.

Yu Ye followed her hand and saw the scale, "Do you like girls?"

Hyuga Mio nodded: "Yes, you can help them braid and dress them up"

While talking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Turning his head suddenly, he saw Yu Ye's narrow eyes.

Immediately, Mio's face turned red.

She quickly lowered her head, looking helpless.

Before Yu Ye could make a joke, footsteps came from outside.

Pommel Qiyue was cooking three-color meatballs, and she was carrying snacks from the street in her hand.

She sat down next to Yu Ye, handed the snacks to Yu Ye, and looked back and forth between Mio and Yu Ye suspiciously.

"Cough, eat less sweets."

Yu Ye took the bag and looked at it, and saw that it was not for herself.

He handed it to Mio and asked, "Why are you here today?"

——Tonight is Hyuga Mio's class.

Kurama Qiyue took out a letter from his slightly heaving chest: "It's from Orochimaru."

Before Yu Ye set off for the Iron Kingdom, he asked Orochimaru to prepare 100 people for experiments.

As a result, the people are all used up, and Orochimaru hasn't mentioned the reward yet.

Only now did I speak.

Yu Ye spread out the letter and read it carefully.

The content of the letter made him frown quickly.

Orochimaru mentions two things in total:

The first thing is about transactions.

For the 100 people this time, Orochimaru didn't charge a fee, just as a favor to old friends.

The deal Orochimaru mentioned is next:

Information on the Immortal Art of Royal Night.

He published information on Konoha Forbidden Technique.

"Has the fairy art been discovered?"

Yu Ye read the letter and did not shy away from the two girls, while Kurama Qiyue looked at the content and was slightly surprised.

Yu Ye shook his head slightly: "Orochimaru has a contract with the Ryūchi Cave of the three holy places. He knows the existence of fairy art and the reaction to the failure of fairy art practice. Orochimaru should have guessed those stone fragments."

Hyuga Mio also asked suspiciously: "'Konoha' Forbidden Technique?"

The wording is strange.

This is what Yu Ye cares about.

Because the normal exchange is to use your own things.

After all, Orochimaru has a lot of things that he has researched by himself, and they have not been accepted by Konoha.

This feeling reminded Yu Ye of some kind of deal in his previous life - pick whatever you want, and I'll steal it for you on the spot.

Kurama Qiyue occasionally went to the Konoha torture class to check in, but heard some rumors: "It is said that Orochimaru is in an awkward position. Their Wood Style research, the experimental body is clearly exhausted, but the experiment has not stopped. Many people impeached His, probably, a broken jar?"

Yu Ye shook his head: "Not necessarily. Now Danzo's status is higher than Orochimaru's. In this experiment, Danzo firmly controls the initiative. I'm afraid Orochimaru didn't intervene much, so he's too lazy to let Danzo hold back, so he plans to do it alone."

Yu Ye was suspicious, why did Orochimaru suddenly become radical?

Going out to do it alone at this time is tantamount to breaking ties with Danzo.

Waiting for him to get the Forbidden Technique materials hidden by Konoha is also a kind of betrayal to Konoha.

Maybe it helps his Wood Style.

Even if it doesn't work in the end, enough information will allow him to research something different.

But after all, Yu Ye still didn't know why Orochimaru took such a big step suddenly, he obviously had enough time to walk slowly.

Back to the matter itself——

Stealing secret techniques is bound to be risky. Orochimaru wants to exchange these Forbidden Technique materials and Yuye for fairy art materials, which is equivalent to pulling Yuye onto his warship.

If Orochimaru is exposed, so is Yuya.

It is precisely because of this risk that Orochimaru is generous this time.

All Forbidden Technique information, there are a lot of good things in it, including various unknown Forbidden Techniques from Second Hokage, and various strange ninjutsu collected.

Orochimaru used them to exchange for the research materials of immortal arts that he didn't know the progress of. After calculation, Yuye made more money.

Yu Ye may not stay in Konoha for a long time, this deal is done.

After he made a decision, he looked at the second message:

This is an additional gift from Orochimaru.

The village has already noticed that Yuye is using his life to study fairy arts, and has assigned Hatake Sakumo to investigate the matter.

The last time Orochimaru sent him 50 people to study the resurrection technique, he was noticed by Hatake Shuomo.

With previous crimes, it is not impossible to chase him this time——

Just as he was thinking, someone from the security department begged to see him outside.

And report: "Master Yuya, Hatake Sakumo is visiting."

Let's change it later
