It was very smooth to get these five test subject assistants to do things according to their own ideas, in fact, they were given very few choices, but no matter what kind of thoughts these people had, Shiraishi was not very interested in their mental activities.

These people's bodies have been transformed by natural energy, and theoretically, they can be called 'superhuman', and their natural lifespan, and even the degree of delayed aging, will be much stronger than the average person.

To put it more simply, even if they reach the age of 60, as long as they pay more attention to maintenance problems, their physical fitness will not decline much, and they can continue to work.

And these five people are now young people in their twenties, and there are still more than 30 years to provide work services for him.

This is just the first batch, and more will join in the future.

It has to be said that natural energy is really a good thing.

Although it can't be compared with Chakra in terms of versatility, the increase in physical fitness has completely exceeded Chakra.

It is possible to mass-produce body-type ninjas on a large scale, and it is not difficult for these body-type ninjas to reach the mid-ninja level after several years of systematic learning.

At most, it will be relatively simple in terms of combat methods, and it will appear to be inferior compared to the standard mid-ninja.

Because most of the middle ninjas, it is impossible to be proficient only in physical arts, and the rest of the ninjutsu and illusion arts, which can be diversified tactical cooperation.

But that's enough.

The use of natural energy is universal, and even ordinary people can transform it.

According to Shiraishi, this is where natural energy is truly terrifying.

Ninjas are strong because chakras don't have the universality to make most people stronger.

The biggest gains are made by a very small number of people.

Unlike natural energy, he can make the lower limit of human beings very high, and the upper limit is not able to say that the upper limit of natural energy is above the upper limit of chakra due to the lack of useful information comparison.

On average, chakra is inferior to natural energy.

Since he decided to make good use of the power of these five people, Shiraishi naturally would not be stingy with them.

The training methods of physical arts, as well as the refining methods of chakra, including some simple ninjutsu, will be taught to them.

Shiraishi wasn't worried about what was wrong with them.

The natural energy precipitated in their bodies was not obtained through a formal cultivation path, but was directly injected into their bodies in the form of reagents, greatly improving their overall physical quality.

In other words, the five of them had a foundation suitable for training physical arts, but they were unable to refine natural energy by themselves.

Because Shiraishi didn't plan to use this kind of thing casually to the people below from the beginning.

Maybe it will be in the future, but at this stage, these five people are not enough to make Shiraishi trust.

For this reason, even if they are allowed to leave after a month, they must leave some special marks on them.

After that, Shiraishi hastily finished his work in the laboratory, let the five people use it as work tools, and returned to the surface and went back to his room to rest.

◎

The next day.

Shiraishi came to Ruri's room and discussed with her about the five people.

"Forming an organization?"

Ruri looked at Shiraishi with a puzzled gaze.

Seeing Ruri's doubts, the reason given by Shiraishi was also very sufficient, and he said, "Yes." I think this is a plan that must be implemented. Because as my research gets bigger and bigger, especially the fairy experiments, it is likely that some uncontrollable accidents will happen. You should know how powerful the immortal rampage is. ”

Ruri nodded earnestly.

She had experienced that feeling with her own hands, and with the sturdiness of an underground laboratory, although she could prevent some energy shocks, she could still cause some trouble and attract attention when she encountered too strong a force.

"That's what I thought. We can set up an organization outside, and if necessary, we can go outside and conduct experiments, after all, the noise in the village is too big to attract the attention of some people. ”

"Is that the only reason?"

"What's more, at the moment, you Uchiha don't have a good relationship with a certain high-ranking person in the village, although the Hokage promised that there would be no more accidents, but you shouldn't believe that, right?"

Hearing Shiraishi's rhetorical question, the sneer on Ruri's face also proved this.

The Hokage's words, she didn't believe it at all.

Originally, there were some changes to the Hokage family before, but now, it's just that some Uchiha clansmen are too naïve.

Complacency about power, disdain for conspirators.

Konoha is not the Konoha of the past, and the Uchiha is not the Uchiha of the past.

The reason why Uchiha is powerful now is because of the blood inheritance limit of the Sharingan, not a person.

For this reason, this time the Hokage gave another opportunity to watch the Book of Seals, but Ruri did not listen to their mercy at all, and went to watch the Book of Seals again.

Although Shiraishi was still a pity when he heard Ruri's decision, if he persuaded Ruri not to act so rashly, agreed to the Hokage's conditions, and chose an arcane ninjutsu from the Book of Seals again, he might be beaten up by her.

This is a matter of principle for Liuli to do things.

She would not accept such a form of compensation that bordered on mercy and charity.

If the Hokage's proposal is accepted, it means that the grievances of this incident will be written off, and neither side can mention this matter again, and it will be completely exposed.

However, for Liuli, this matter has not yet come to an end.

Ignoring the Hokage's compensation, Ruri will seek justice in her own way. This kind of thing, Shiraishi had already expected.

She didn't want compensation in the first place.

A great man once said that when a thought doesn't work, try to make it work.

And the only way to make Ruri's thoughts clear is not Hokage's apology and compensation, but revenge on the roots.

Sometimes, the obsession of the powerists is so terrible.

"There is no guarantee that something similar will happen again in the future, and misleading intelligence in the mission is why we need to build our own organization. Whether it's gathering intelligence, or doing other things, it will be very convenient. Even set up eyes and ears in the ninja world, and secretly cut off the roots of the tasks carried out outside. You're interested in this kind of thing, right? ”

Whether it's in Shiraishi's eyes, or in Ruri's eyes, the root ninja is no longer a guy who can be called a companion.

It's the enemy.

Coupled with the Hokage's biased approach, it is really unconvincing.

Sure enough, Ruri became interested in this.

She didn't really want to know what Shiraishi's purpose was, but she was still very motivated to take revenge on the roots.

"Another thing is that my aunt and uncle are out and about, always hiring other ninjas or samurai...... Although they are all mercenary groups with good reputations, these people are still unreliable at a real critical juncture. We can personally provide them with high-quality and reliable protection personnel to prevent accidents. ”

Liuli nodded again, agreeing with this.

Her parents, Sosuke Uchiha and Miyoko Uchiha, do have such problems around them.

The reason why Shiraishi discussed this matter with Ruri was entirely because Ruri was worthy of his trust.

As long as you pass the trust test, many problems can be solved.

The most important thing is that she is rich.

At this time, Baishi has completed more than ten difficult tasks because of paddling, but the total reward is only more than one million taels.

With this amount of money, he wants to set up an organization of sufficient scale to provide him with research services, not to mention waves, which can't even make a sound.

Not to mention all kinds of food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as a large amount of capital needed to expand the territory, all of which require strong capital to settle in.

Hearing Baishi say a lot of words in front of him, Ruri just replied to him lightly:

"Tell me, how much does it cost?"

Bai Shi coughed and said: "I don't know much about this aspect, but I think the initial development should require at least hundreds of millions of taels of capital investment." Therefore, I think it is better to discuss such a large investment with my aunt and uncle first. ”

"No, I can make my own decisions with this money. In the land of tea, there are several mines under my name, which can be resold or sold for a little money. ”

When Shiraishi heard this, he didn't know how to go on.

"Wait, mine or something, why haven't I ever heard you mention it?"

After reacting, Shiraishi hurriedly asked this question.

"It's not something to brag about. So, you don't have to worry about funding. And it's nothing, Konoha spends more than that every year. It is impossible to set up a comprehensive organization that collects intelligence, research, and even cultivates armed personnel without billions of funds. ”

Obviously, the proposal for the organization was put forward by Shiraishi first, but Shiraishi suddenly felt that Ruri was much more professional than him in establishing an organization.

"But have you figured out where you're going to build your organization?"

Ruri asks this question.

The base of the organization certainly cannot be established within the territory of the five major powers, and these five countries mean power, and it is impossible to let uncontrolled forces wander outside.

Once an organization is established within these five countries, it will inevitably be devastating.

Therefore, it is only possible to start with small countries.

"The Land of Demons and the Land of Iron...... Which do you think is better? ”

"Neutral?"

Neither the country of ghosts nor the country of iron is considered a big country, and there are only five great powers in the ninja world.

But not all small countries will be classified as neutrals.

For example, the country of rain, the country of rivers, the country of grass, or the country of vortex that was destroyed a few years ago...... Although it is a small country, it is in danger of being destroyed by a large country.

Therefore, among the many small countries, the country of ghosts and the country of iron that stand out are particularly special.

Especially the country of ghosts.

It is a country without a big name.

The supreme ruler of the country is not a daimyo but an existence called a shrine maiden.

The country has a shrine maiden belief and a certain mysticism style.

Ruri had also heard that the ruler of the Oni Country, Miko Lady, had extremely special powers and was said to be able to see through the future.

Whether this is true or not, there is no unified generalization.

In any case, the country of ghosts is indeed the most special country in the ninja world.

Its ruling model is different from that of most countries in the ninja world.

"Yes, neutral countries can provide good protection from war."

"The country of ghosts."

Ruri said.

Shiraishi looked at her, eager to hear what her reasons were.

In fact, the Land of Iron is similar to the Land of Demons, and in terms of the principle of proximity, the Land of Iron is a little more suitable.

"My parents' main place of work is there, and because of their business dealings, they have some friendship with the authorities in the Oni Country, and they can provide some convenience appropriately."

"Shrine maiden?"

Shiraishi remembers Ruri saying that her parents were doing business in a small country in the extreme west of the ninja world.

The country of ghosts is located in the extreme west of the ninja world.

The only thing that is more cumbersome is that the country of ghosts is very far away from the land of fire.

Even if you use all your strength to rush without stopping, it will take more than three days to barely arrive.

It would be nice if there were planes. But Shiraishi can only think about it.

With the existing technology in the ninja world, there may be flying tools, but they cannot be widely used, and the cost is very expensive.

"I don't know much about witches. After that, I'll ask them to sort out the information on the Oni Country, as well as some of the information about the shrine maiden. ”

"That's great."

In addition to the fact that the distance is a bit far, Shiraishi is quite satisfied with the special national conditions of the country of ghosts.

The ninja has already seen it, but what kind of existence will the shrine maiden be?

I have the ability to see through the future, and I really want to see it.

◎

A month is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and it has passed before you know it.

After that, Shiraishi also went to the Hyuga family and invited Ayane out, and by the way, she didn't make any trouble, and said something like 'as long as it's Shiraishi-kun's decision, I will unconditionally support it'.

Sometimes, Shiraishi really can't understand a girl's thoughts.

Maybe that's why adolescence has arrived.

And the underwear and kimono that had been hidden in the room by Shiraishi did not take this opportunity to be handed over directly to Ayane, because she would not accept it now.

Although he is still as well-behaved and obedient as before, he is stubborn in some ways, and Shiraishi thinks that this is also a kind of growth that he is very interested in.

What will the future be for her, will she leave herself after untying the caged bird, and find the true freedom she longs for, completely independent from herself...... Find your own path......

After all, this is a ninja who was educated by himself.

It's a little spoiled, or arrogant to her vexatious ideas.

I hope that she can follow her for the rest of her life, and I also hope that she can be completely free to do what she likes, and she doesn't have to care about the mood of his 'master'.

It's a complicated state of mind.

-- As for the preparatory work for the establishment of the organization, it is also progressing relatively smoothly.

First of all, it is the base of the organization, and it is the country of ghosts in the extreme west of the ninja world.

Shiraishi didn't need to go there to observe in person, he just controlled the five people and let them be his eyes and hands.

Even if I go to the country of ghosts, it will be many years later.

There is no need to rush over at the moment.

After a month of simple training, these five people barely mastered the basic skills of ninjas, and the next step is to apply these skills to actual combat.

Two days before the end of the vacation, the training has been completed, let Ruri transfer them out of Konoha, and then the person in charge of the liaison between the two sides is Ruri's ninja cat.

And there is only one place for those five people they are going to - the country of ghosts.

Once there, someone will tell them what to do next.

- The lab is deserted, and Shiraishi is the only one working here.

Compared to a month ago, the problem of replacing chakra as a life energy source with natural energy has basically been solved.

Although the result was a bit incredible, Shiraishi had to believe the answer he had verified-

That's the natural energy in a way...... Extremely similar to Chakra!

It can even be said that natural energy can be converted into a chakra-like energy after a series of processing procedures.

And the similar level, judging from the statistical results of computers, is more than 90 percent.

The reason why it is not 100% the same is because it is not technically attainable, and there are many of them that Shiraishi cannot understand and feel incredible.

In other words, processing natural energy to this point is already the limit.

Further on, special 'equipment' is required.

And this 'device', Shiraishi has no clue now, and it is unknown whether it exists or not.

Shiraishi thought it might be an accident.

Because natural energy comes from the natural world.

Chakra, on the other hand, is a combination of physical and spiritual forces from the human body.

It's fundamentally different and irrelevant.

The only place where they are connected is the fusion of the fairy chakra.

Natural energy is equivalent to nature's chakra and is different from the human body's chakra.

So, this unexpected discovery may really be an accident.

Originally, he just wanted to process natural energy as a life energy to replace Chakra, but the more he studied, many contradictions, completely contrary to common sense, appeared one after another.

"What the hell is this......"

Shiraishi smiled bitterly.

To be honest, Shiraishi is really out of line.

Although there is no need to carry out experiments to verify the relationship between chakras and natural energy, if it is only to solve the problem of caged birds, it is actually almost done here.

Besides, he really didn't have anything to do with it.

Because the clue of the research is broken here.

Shiraishi felt a door tightly closed in front of him, and the answer was behind the door.

Neither by brute force nor by any other means could push this door in the slightest.

Shiraishi was helpless about it.

I had to give up exploring.

For things that have no clue, Shiraishi can't make something out of nothing.

If there are new clues in the future, you can continue to explore, and now is not the time to focus on this kind of thing.

Soon, he was going to war again.

◎

At the beginning of October, the two-month vacation ended, and today is the day to go to the front.

Shiraishi, Ruri, and Ayane meet at the gate of Konoha Village.

Soon after, a shadow minister appears, hands over the two documents to Ruri and Ayane, and disappears.

"Nakashinobi appointment letter?"

The form of the two documents is exactly the same, and it is a special appointment letter to increase the rank of a ninja.

The object of the level increase,Naturally, it is Ruri and Ayane.。

"Boring."

already has the strength of the upper ninja level, and Liuli is not very satisfied with the position of the middle ninja.

Ayane smiled and put the appointment letter away, apparently not caring about it.

By the time she graduated from the ninja school, her strength was almost close to that of the upper ninja, and now that more than half a year has passed, she has also cultivated natural energy in the past two months, and her strength has already steadily improved to the upper ninja level.

"Let's go."

This time to the front, only they were in groups of three.

There were no specific instructions given above, just that the three of them went to the front line as soon as possible to join their captain Qimu Shuomao.

To be honest, I haven't seen Shuo Mao for two months, and Shiraishi really misses him a little strangely.

Moreover, Shuo Mao's style of acting is decisive and resolute, which is also appreciated by Shiraishi.

Most importantly, he is able to take good care of his companions.

In many missions, Shuo Mao will prioritize the safety of the three Shiraishi and then choose whether to continue the pursuit of the enemy or abandon the pursuit, prioritizing the safety of his companions.

In the past when he fought with the Sand Ninja Army, Shuo Mao's thoughts were obvious.

It makes Shiraishi feel that Shuo Mao is a ninja who really strictly abides by the principle of the will of fire and thus acts.

This is also the talent that the original Hokage expected in the first place.

The village that is bound together by the bonds of comrades, and the protection of every fellow citizen in the village, is the ultimate interpretation of the will of fire.

Even though Shuo Mao may not have the means to become a Hokage in the future, he is a model ninja who transmits the will of fire.

Shiraishi thinks so.

Although Shiraishi is not particularly keen on the Will of Fire.
