In early September, the reconstruction of the town facilities in the Oni no Kuni territory that had been damaged by the Ghost Legion was basically completed.

The witch of the main vein of the country of ghosts was replaced, and the five-year-old Shion took over, and the next sealing duty of the dragon was also transferred to Shion's body.

Although she is only a five-year-old girl, because of the special status and responsibilities of the shrine maiden, no one underestimates the five-year-old Shion.

After watching the ceremony, the envoys of various countries stayed and couldn't get the information they wanted from the country of ghosts, and they still hoped that the ninjas in the country would be able to make a difference in this regard.

The spies in this area are mainly from the Cloud Hidden Ninja of the Land of Thunder, the Rock Hidden Ninja of the Land of Earth, and the Sand Hidden Ninja of the Land of Wind.

Konoha is trying his best to reconcile the contradictions at all levels within the village at the moment, plus in the third ninja war, he was seriously injured, and he had no extra strength, so he touched the distant country of ghosts with his palm.

And the fog is secretly in alliance with the country of ghosts, with Yakura, the fourth generation of water shadows, in the internal control of the fog hidden village, is the country of ghosts the last thing to worry about.

Therefore, for a period of time in the future, the military of the Oni Country, the secret opponent, will still be the ninja spies sent by the Land of Thunder, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Wind.

In the laboratory, there was a small and delicate black kettle the size of a palm on the laboratory table, and Bai Shi looked at the black kettle with an extremely satisfied expression on his face.

Then the kettle was filled with water, and he shouted to Lin, who was seriously experimenting on the other side, "Lin." ”

"What's the matter, Mr. Shiraishi?"

Lin put down what she was doing and came to Shiraishi's side, where she was curious to see Shiraishi doing some work around a palm-sized black kettle.

The exterior of the black kettle does not look like metal, but rather from ceramic.

If it's just a kettle, but this small kettle feels very weird to Rin, but this weirdness, I don't know what the specific feeling is.

"Mr. Shiraishi, what is this?"

Lin couldn't help but ask curiously.

Shiraishi didn't answer immediately, but continued, "You come and pour a glass of water with this kettle and see. ”

"Pour a glass of water?"

Lin was slightly stunned.

Then a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and he reached out and grabbed the handle of the black kettle, ready to hold it.

As a result, the black kettle remained motionless on the bench.

No matter how much force Lynn used to pick it up, it seemed to be fixed there, unmoved.

Lynn's face was filled with consternation.

What kind of kettle is this?

She has cultivated immortal arts, her strength is not small, although she can't exert unparalleled strange power like Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, but it is no problem to easily lift a large rock larger than a person.

She wondered what the black kettle was made of.

As long as the black kettle the size of a palm is heavier than an adult.

It's incredible.

Rin, who did not believe in evil, continued to increase his strength, and in the end, the chakra cloak of the tailed beast also appeared on the exterior of the body, making Lin's physical strength increase sharply again.

However, the black kettle was still fixed there, and even the strength of the tailed beast could not make it shake it in the slightest.

Lynn gave up the idea of picking up the black kettle, if the black kettle moved a little under her power just now, it might give Lynn hope of picking it up.

But the point is, force alone can't affect it in the slightest.

This couldn't help but discourage Lynn.

"How does it feel?"

Shiraishi asked interestingly.

Lin thought for a while, looked at Baishi helplessly and said, "Teacher Baishi, this kettle, with pure strength, it is impossible to be picked up." ”

Although she was questioning, Lynn was sure of her inner guess.

This is not only from her inner intuition, the Seven Tails in her body also said to her - Rin, this kettle is strange, I'm afraid I use all my chakra power, it is impossible for you to pick it up, give up.

This short sentence shocked Lin's heart.

No matter how powerful the tailed beast is, there is no need to release the world-destroying tailed beast jade, and it can cause huge destructive power by relying on the body to roll tightly, making it difficult for ninjas to contend with.

So far, the only ninjas who can resist tailed beasts head-on are a small number of top ninjas in the ninja world.

Most ninjas can only adopt a roundabout strategy when facing tailed beasts, and do not dare to confront them head-on.

And in the end, the Tailed Beast must rely on the sealing technique, or special techniques with strong inhibition power against the Tailed Beast Chakra, such as Writing Wheel Eye and Mu Dun, are also among them, rather than relying on ninjutsu with amazing destructive power.

Even the powerful tailed beast could not pick up this kettle, and Lin was a little incredulous.

But the Seven Tails is a tailed beast with a relatively mild personality among the tailed beasts, and it disdains to tell such lies to deceive others.

If it was difficult to lift even the tailed beast, Lin could only suspect that this black kettle was not a special thing that could be picked up by relying on pure strength.

It takes some special skill to pick up this kettle.

And this special technique can only be explained to her by Shiraishi, the creator.

Shiraishi nodded, proving that Rin's statement was correct.

Pure power, no matter how powerful, can not pick up this kettle.

"So, let's give up that power and feel the weight of this kettle with your heart."

Shiraishi gives a more general and vague explanation.

The power of the heart?

For others, it can be more troublesome.

But for Lin, who has completed the cultivation of the Perfect Human Pillar Force, it is not a strange and difficult thing to use the power of the mind to sense things.

"The power of the heart?"

Lin didn't think much of it, and according to Shiraishi's words, she picked up the black kettle with her hand again.

This time, I don't plan to use my own strength, but also the chakra power of the tailed beast.

Feel the weight of this kettle with your heart.

And then—

The power of thunder slashed at Lin's body.

Her expression changed suddenly, and she turned pale in an instant.

She stood there, holding this kettle, as if the heavens and the earth were going to shake, and began to turn upside down, and everything around her was twisting, and Shiraishi's figure disappeared from front of her eyes, and she saw the boundless darkness.

This darkness caused all kinds of dark elements that had long been closed in Lin's heart.

It's better to liberate the animalistic part buried in Lin's heart and occupy Lin's physical and mental dominance.

Layers of cold sweat immediately flowed from Lin's forehead, and she mustered all her mind to resist this sudden dark power and suppress all these beasts.

Dealing with these glooms reminded Lin that in the past, when he used to perform the Perfect Human Pillar Force, in the mental space, sensing the resentment on the tailed beast's body was the same thing, which was something that power could not overcome.

This has nothing to do with the strength of the power, the black kettle tests the willpower of the person.

No matter how strong or weak a ninja is, there will be a gap in the psyche that allows darkness to take advantage of it.

Whether you can clear the level in such a test again is the key to picking up the black kettle.

Lin gasped fiercely, the surrounding scene returned to normal, and she looked at the black kettle that she had picked up in her hand, and her heart palpitated.

I feel inexplicably scared of something that looks like an ordinary kettle.

It carries a darkness that is stronger and darker than the tailed beast.

Lynn can also be sure that this is not something that chakra can create.

Chakra is just a prop to carry 'things', and it does not produce any darkness in itself.

And this kettle, in itself, may be synonymous with darkness.

It is an abyssal realm that is difficult for pure chakra to reach.

According to what Shiraishi said earlier, he used this kettle to pour a glass of water into the cup.

Lin took a sip from the water cup and found that the black kettle contained just ordinary drinking water, and there was nothing special about it.

What is special is just the black kettle itself.

"How do you feel about using this as one of the required test questions for students at the ninja school to finally graduate?"

Shiraishi asks the question.

"I don't think there's a problem, this thing is very helpful for honing people's willpower."

Lynn replied without hesitation.

This ninja world is full of all kinds of temptations, such as power, such as money, such as power, such as beauty, and other temptations...... People spend their whole lives fighting these things.

It is impossible to get rid of these things from human nature, but as long as people overcome these things, then it will be difficult for their will to be defeated by anything in the future in life.

Failure is never something to be afraid of, and the thing that is terrible is that you don't have the courage to face the setbacks in life again after failure.

It was a good idea to use this kettle as one of the final exam questions for the ninja school.

"But, then again, what did Mr. Shiraishi use to make this thing?"

Lynn was curious about this.

Shiraishi replied without concealment: "The darkness of the dragon." When I sealed the monster that day, there was some darkness that was not recycled, so I was thinking about what to do with the darkness left behind in the ninja world. Eventually, I came up with a way to solve this problem. The weight of this kettle is not the simple weight we know, but the weight of the darkness of the human heart. If you can't get over the darkness in your heart, no one can pick up this kettle. What it tests is only whether we choose courage to fight against the darkness in our hearts to the end when we encounter the darkness in our hearts, or whether we are dominated by cowardice and defeated by the darkness. ”

"Is there a weight of darkness in the human heart? It's a heavy stuff. ”

Lynn sighed.

She had already felt first-hand how heavy the so-called dark weight of the human heart was.

The suffocation of the oppression of heaven and earth is how insignificant human beings are in the face of this force.

If they can cut through the wind and waves and sing all the way forward, it will definitely benefit them for a lifetime for those who are tried.

"Then again, what's going on with the development of the Tailed Beast? Is there any progress? ”

Shiraishi asked.

When the Spirits were in turmoil, Shiraishi did not use Rin to fight together.

She stayed with Obito in the First Military Region of Ziyuan City, and sat here to avoid losing here.

The major military bases of the Oni Country, the First Military Region of Ziyuan City, are the core of the core.

Most of the secrets of the Oni Country are hidden here, and these secrets are all things that cannot be seen until the Oni Country officially enters the ninja world.

Without hesitation, he said that if he and Ruri and Ayane are abandoned, with the military strength of the Oni Country at the moment, if they encounter any big country, they can fight.

Although it is still a bigger loss, it will not be defeated in the face of the ice front of the great ninjas, at least it has the strength to fight head-on.

After all, in addition to the three of them, the country of ghosts now has high-end combat power such as Lin, Obito, and Kakudu.

The Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, the Uzumaki clan, and many elite ninjas have also appeared, all of whom can play a key role in turning the tide of the battle in a large-scale battle.

But that wasn't enough, and it was still far from what Shiraishi expected.

There is a possibility of going further in the country of ghosts.

What the military needs to improve is the comprehensive strength of all ninjas, not just the cutting-edge parts.

A strong individualist, if he becomes at the top of the state, will only lead a country into the abyss.

No matter how powerful a ninja is, it's impossible to do everything.

If a country wants to run, it needs talents from all walks of life to maintain the healthy operation of the national machine.

Powerful ninjas only represent the most cutting-edge talents in the country, but basic affairs also need people to manage and run.

The political and commercial issues of the Oni Country no longer need to waste much time, and there is no need to make huge changes for the time being, the only thing that is lacking is that the military's background is slightly insufficient.

The research and utilization of tailed beasts is a key to improving the military's comprehensive ninja strength.

"Yes, a trial tailed beast capsule has been made, and the specific medicinal properties still need to be tested for clinical trials before we can consider whether they are suitable for popular application."

Lynn replied.

"Is that so? Let's replace it with a guinea pig, the test subject volunteers, it is estimated that it will be difficult to make up for a while. ”

"Got it."

Lin nodded, although the human test was not a taboo violation product in the Oni Country, the military was not a product of taboo violations, but invested in the study of legitimacy.

However, in the eyes of most people, human experiments have always been some evil and inhumane taboo experiments.

But for a medical ninja like Rin, human trials are just commonplace.

Medical ninjas save lives based on the experience and lessons learned from countless human trials.

The development of a wide variety of drugs for the benefit of humans is also based on human trials.

In Rin's opinion, ninja schools also need to strengthen education in this area, otherwise the medical and other industries in the country of ghosts may stagnate in the future.

Returning to Yakura from the Land of Demons, and at the same time bringing Ichihime to Fog Hide.

For what Shiraishi requested, let his daughter Ichihime go to the ninja school in Fog Hidden Village to experience life, and Yakura nodded and agreed without adding more.

With the friendship between him and Shiraishi, and the alliance between the Oni Country and the Fog Hide, this kind of thing is just a gesture.

Moreover, looking at the meaning of Shiraishi, it should be that he intends to list his daughter Yiji as one of his candidate heirs, and he has great expectations.

For this peculiar girl who was born to awaken the three-hook jade writing wheel eye and seal the tailed beast weight chakra in her body, it is not the first time that Yakura has heard about it from Shiraishi.

At the same time, I am also looking forward to how far the daughter who is favored by Shiraishi can grow in the future.

The era of blood mist in Wuyin Village has passed, and after several years of correction and change, the bloody customs have been eliminated from the interior of Wuyin Village by Yakura using a thorough crackdown.

Although for this, the Fog Hidden Village paid an extremely heavy price, which made the ninjas of the rest of the countries see a joke.

Although the major ninja villages also suffered huge losses, they were caused in the war with the enemy.

And the loss of Wuyin Village was due to internal cannibalism, which caused trauma to the village itself, and the loss was no less than that of the big country Ninja Village, which participated in the Great Ninja World War.

Until now, there are still some remnants of the Blood Mist ninja who have fled to various parts of the ninja world, waiting for the opportunity to return to the fog to try to seize power in a coup d'état.

For this part of the remnants of the Blood Mist Faction, Yakura has expressed his attitude towards killing these people at high-level meetings more than once, and now there is still a detachment of the Fog Hidden Village Secret Division, staying abroad for a long time, in order to hunt down and kill these remnants of the Blood Mist Faction, and never have the idea of appeasing these people.

"Is it already arranged?"

"Yes, Mizukage-sama, Ichihime-sama I have already ordered the following arrangements to be made, and there will be no problems. Probably the day after tomorrow, Miss Yiji will be able to transfer to our ninja school in the fog normally. ”

After all, she was just a little girl, with the water shadow and the fog shadow behind her, even those high-level elders couldn't see anything abnormal.

Appearing in front of Yakura's desk was an adult man in his thirties.

He has gray-blue hair that stands on end, and has an amulet-like earring ornament on each ear.

On his right eye, covered with a black blindfold, blocking the view of the eye, only one left eye was exposed normally.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qing."

Yakura is very satisfied with the efficiency of this shinobi named 'Ao'.

Qing is one of the few outstanding perceptual ninjas in the Fog Hidden Village, and he was also one of the fierce opponents of the Blood Mist at the beginning, with good physical skills and water escape ninjutsu attainments, and now exists as one of his escort team members, using his perception ninjutsu over the years, he has solved a lot of spies from other villages who want to sneak into the Fog Hidden Village, and has made a great contribution to the stability of the Fog Hidden Village.

He is also one of his most trusted ninjas.

"This is what I'm supposed to do, Mizukage-sama."

Qing replied modestly.

"So, can you still get used to using white eyes?"

Yakura asked Qing such a surprising question.

Qing nodded without hesitation and replied, "I've gotten used to it, and I haven't found any rejection of my body." ”

After all, before transplanting the white eye, he had already done all kinds of physical tests, and his body had the highest fusion rate with the white eye, although he couldn't command the white eye like an arm like the Hyuga clan, but it was no problem to use the white eye to detect the enemy.

Moreover, as a strategic-level blood inheritance limit, compared to the soft fist, the detection ability of the white eye is the most important ability for a ninja village.

Yakura nodded.

The eye under the blindfold on Ao's right side is the white eye of the Hyuga clan's blood inheritance limit, which has the most comprehensive detection ability in the ninja world.

This white eye was not plundered from the Hyuga clan ninja of Konoha clan, but obtained from Shiraishi by bartering.

Because there is a creature called Bai Jue in the Xiao organization, which has an extremely terrifying infiltration ability, this specially treated white eye can see Bai Jue's movement trajectory underground, and to avoid the leakage of information from Fog Hidden Village, he must be prepared for nothing.

Every time he acts, Yakura also brings Aoi.

Xiao's target is the tailed beast, and as the three-tailed human pillar force, Xiao will not take measures against him because of his identity as a water shadow.

Sooner or later, as the Mizukage, he will also be targeted by the people of Xiao.

Until then, ensuring that the intelligence on your side is not leaked is the most basic way of warfare.

When the time comes, he will take advantage of this intelligence gap to catch Xiao by surprise, reduce their combat effectiveness, and prepare for the start of the Fourth Ninja World War.

"Next, it's up to the ghost shark's actions. You've already been told, right? ”

"No problem, it's already cooperated over there."

Qing replied in the affirmative.

As one of the few insiders in the Fog Hidden Village who knows the whole truth, he is also deeply worried that the ghost shark is about to become a spy in a dangerous organization.

Although the oni shark had followed a vicious ninja like the watermelon mountain puffer ghost in the past, in essence, the oni shark did not go along with those people, but has always been deeply confused and worried, confused and worried about himself and the future of the fog hidden village.

Such a ninja, if not co-opted, will only become a huge loss to the Fog Hidden Village.

The strength of the oni shark, now in the Fog Hidden Village, can be said to be one of the few strongest ninjas under the water shadow.

After breaking away from the command of the seven people who are also ninja swords, loquat Shizo, he went to serve in the escort team of the water shadow, and his status was the same as that of Qing.

The other member is cultivating at the old master of Wuyin Village, and the Twin Blood Inheritance Limit Realm, who only comes over occasionally, has Zhaomei Ming.

"However, after the ghost shark leaves, there will be one less member of the escort team, and it is really stressful to rely on me alone. Mizukage-sama, do you have any recommendations? ”

Qing asked.

The Guardian is not the only team that protects Mizukage.

After all, the existence of the shadows is also one of the safety guarantees of the Mizukage.

However, as the leader of the ninja village, there is no room for error.

Originally, Zhao Meiming only came to work part-time occasionally, and before the cultivation was officially completed, the time to come here to serve would be very small.

The ghost shark was also about to leave the Fog Hidden Village, so he was the only member of the escort team left.

And what he is best at is not fighting, but is good at perception and white-eyed reconnaissance, acting as the eye of the water shadow.

Therefore, after the oni shark leaves, a powerful ninja must be re-selected from the fog hidden village to serve as Yakura's guard.

"Is there a choice of guardian after the ghost shark leaves? Let the ninjas of the ghost lantern clan where the second generation of Lord Men belong, take this position. ”

As one of the most powerful ninja clans in the Fog Hidden Village, the Ghost Lantern Clan has always been an indispensable part of the Fog Hidden Village.

The second-generation Water Shadow Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon, who was born in the Ghost Lantern clan, is the master of Zhongxing in Wuyin Village, and has followed the example of Konoha and carried out various reforms within Wuyin Village, which has made the military power of Wuyin Village expand dramatically, and is a water shadow who has made great contributions to Wuyin Village.

With such a background relationship, the Ghost Lantern Clan's loyalty to the fog does not have to worry.

"The Ghost Lantern Clan?" Qing touched his chin, as if he remembered something: "Can you control the seven ninja swords, is that genius prodigy ghost lamp full moon?" There is no problem with his words. ”

The full moon of the prodigy ghost lantern in Fog Hidden Village, just like Konoha's instantaneous water stoppage, is an outstanding ninja of today's young generation.

In addition, the ancestors of its ghost lantern clan have appeared in the water shadow, and the ghost lantern full moon is worthy of the trust of the high-level in terms of background and strength.

In this way, after the ghost shark leaves, the ghost light full moon will succeed him as one of the members of the water shadow guardians, and no one will gossip.

At that time, in order to list the oni shark as a member of the Mizukage Guardian Team, as the Yakura of the Mizukage, and those high-level elders, but after arguing for a long time, they reluctantly passed the high-level meeting and let the oni shark become a member of the escort team.

"Then, next week, take the oni shark to the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Water, and see off our Excellency the Daimyo well. Anyway, when the time comes, these guys will have to be cleaned up one by one, and I've put up with him long enough. ”

A sharp light flashed in Yakura's eyes, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring.
