What they signed in Konoha this time was a truce treaty, and a truce treaty that was unfavorable to their side.
"You continue, it's a bit inappropriate for me to stay here, I'll go wander around elsewhere first."
Uchiha Asuka took out a Lollipop and put it in his mouth, then he left the group and began to stroll around Sunagakure.
Although the task on the surface this time was to promote medical exchanges between the two sides, in reality he was a spy, but a spy whose identity was known to both sides.
Similar to the embassy of later generations, you know that I am here to gather intelligence, but you can't do anything to me except strengthen surveillance.
As for being expelled after the war, it was definitely impossible to be expelled, and it was estimated that there was a high probability of going to jail.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Asuka moved to a nearby steamed bun shop and pointed to the steamed buns in the steamer and said.
"Give me two!"
"Alright!"
Accepting the steaming hot bun, Asuka took a bite, and the expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen. Then, he gave the bun seller a thumbs up and praised him.
"It's my first time eating a bun with sand in it. The taste is good, but it's a bit gritty."
"Heh~"
The owner scratched his head a little awkwardly, then he took another bun from the steamer and stuffed it into Asuka's hand, saying embarrassedly.
"We often have sandstorms here, so it's inevitable that there's some sand in the food."
"It's okay to have sand, the taste is really good!"
Asuka sat down on a chair and looked around at the passing pedestrians, unable to help but click his tongue in amazement.
He thought that Sunagakure would be full of people from the Wind Country, but that black-skinned strong man who just passed by, he's from the Land of Lightning, right?
That big fat guy looks like he's from the Land of Earth.
After he finished eating the bun, Asuka looked up at the owner and asked in surprise.
"Boss, why don't I see many ninjas on your street?"
"Heh~"
Hearing this, the shop owner's face showed a proud look, and he pointed to the Kazekage Building in the distance.
"Recently, the Kazekage used great power to lift the desert not far from the village into the sky, and discovered a considerable amount of gold inside.
Those ninja adults are basically running back and forth between the village and the desert.
The Kazekage is indeed a powerful ninja who reigns over tens of thousands of ninjas in various countries around the world.
It is said that the lord can find gold by taking two steps out, find a gold mine by sitting down when he is tired from walking, and even kick out a bag of gold sand with a random kick."
???
Asuka stroked his chin with one hand, his beard a little prickly.
I didn't expect that the Kazekage would start panning for gold now.
A powerful Kazekage?
Even if he carries the poor and unruly Sunagakure on his back, he can hold up the endless desert with one hand, and dig out a considerable amount of gold from the desert with the other.
Alas! You're so poor, Kazekage, why don't you study how to squeeze money from the Daimyo.
Sighing at the hard-working gold-panning Kazekage, Asuka turned his head to look at the owner and asked in surprise.
"With so many ninjas not in the village, aren't you afraid of being attacked?"
Hmm? The bun shop owner glanced at Asuka warily, and after seeing that the other party was just asking curiously, he said.
"Although the Kazekage has left, Chiyo is still in the village, and it is said that Pakura and the others are also coming back today."
"I almost forgot!"
Hearing the owner of the steamed bun shop mention Chiyo, Asuka stood up, dusted off the sand from his body, and praised.
"Boss, the steamed buns are great, I'll come again tomorrow."
He was now quite looking forward to what it would feel like to have Luosifen with steamed buns mixed with sand.
After arriving at the Kazekage Building and presenting the proof that Ebizo had given him, Asuka smoothly found Chiyo, who was treating a patient.
"You Konoha are really willing to spend money."
Looking at the information written in code by Ebizo, Chiyo raised her eyelids and glanced at Asuka, saying in a strange tone.
"Konoha second?"
"Not really."
Asuka held up two fingers and said very seriously.
"If we're talking about technological medicine, I should actually be considered Konoha's third. Tsunade is definitely first, Orochimaru is second, I'm below them, and everyone else is below me."
Hearing him casually mention the names of the Legendary Sannin, Chiyo snorted coldly, not refuting his ranking.
She was very clear about Tsunade's abilities, that fellow had cracked all the toxins she had developed in a very short time.
As for Orochimaru, she didn't know if he possessed Medical Ninjutsu.
Thinking of this, she lowered her head to treat the comatose patient, her voice aged.
"Now our two villages are allies, since Konoha sent you here to exchange Medical Ninjutsu with this old woman, then tomorrow you bring a group of students, and I'll bring a group of students, and we'll exchange notes."
Hearing this, Asuka picked at his ear, looked at Chiyo with some suspicion, and said.
"So... our exchange is to help Sunagakure train Medical Ninja??
Chiyo-sama, could you make your abacus a little louder?"
"Don't put it so bluntly."
Chiyo's lips curled up, revealing a toothless mouth, and the wrinkles on her face instantly piled up, she said.
"What is an exchange?
You teach yours, I teach mine, and after it's over, we merge together, that's what you call an 'exchange'."
Hearing the old woman's sophistry, Asuka's mouth twitched, his face full of speechless words.
He was a spy, a spy who came to Sunagakure to learn ninjutsu and report on the situation, not to be a teacher.
This old woman's abacus was clicking loudly.
However, since the village hadn't given any special instructions, it wouldn't be bad to learn some experience from Chiyo and teach Sunagakure some Medical Ninjutsu along the way.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Asuka, Chiyo watched his departing figure, her cloudy eyes gradually becoming clear, the smile on her face slowly unfolded, and her speech slowed down.
"I've lived for so long, and I've seen all kinds of things, learned a lot of the world's principles, and also understand that alliances with other countries are just a formality, this is just a means to protect our Sunagakure.
Pakura, I hope you can understand that alliances are just a formality... war will come again."
"Understood!"
At this moment, Pakura pushed open the door behind her and walked out.
Chiyo looked at Pakura for a while, her aged gaze falling on her cold cheeks, and continued,
"I have already retired, and the next era belongs to you young people.
One sign of young people maturing is shedding their inhibitions.
Our Wind Country is naturally barren, not to mention comparing it to places like the Land of Fire, which are rich in resources and talent, even the stubborn rocky areas of the Land of Earth are often better.
Therefore, as those based in the Wind Country, we must do everything possible to develop Sunagakure.
I did so, Rasa does so, and you must do so as well.
Catch a sheep and fleece it thoroughly."
After saying that, Chiyo squeezed her aged hand forcefully.
She already had a premonition that the village's future life would be difficult.
Having the opportunity to gather more resources for the village will make the difficult times less difficult.
It's a pity that Sunagakure cannot attract the ninja world's 'fat sheep', Tsunade.
Those guys who can catch Tsunade and fleece her relentlessly are truly enviable.
Looking up at the desperately poor Chiyo, Pakura frowned subconsciously. Because she didn't participate in the negotiations, she didn't know exactly what kind of treaty the village had signed, only that it had lost a lot of money.
Seeing Chiyo-baa-sama's poor and fierce appearance, Pakura sighed lightly in her heart.
It seems that the village has suffered a major loss this time.
The endless golden sand dunes blurred into the night.
The tireless stars twinkled in the deep blue night sky.
The Sunagakure at night was even more deserted than the Hidden Leaf Village. Apart from the whistling wind, there was no other sound.
The howling wind carried sand, hitting the window like a strange lullaby. Uchiha Asuka slowly opened his eyes, then put on his shoes, got out of bed, and pushed open the window. The sand hit his face, stinging his eyes a little.
Glancing down at the street below, he supported himself on the balcony railing with one hand and jumped straight down from the third floor, landing heavily on the ground.
Boom! Two holes were instantly smashed into the ground, and the huge impact blew the thin sand on top into the distance, revealing the bluestone slabs laid when the village was built.
Uchiha Asuka straightened up, looked at the guy in front of him who didn't hide his killing intent at all, and yawned.
"Is it you? Not sleeping in the middle of the night, running here to release your killing intent unscrupulously."
The man looked at Uchiha Asuka with a murderous expression, and said angrily.
"How dare you from the dirty and disgusting Hidden Leaf Village come to our village?"
Uchiha Asuka looked down and tugged at his pajamas, pulling out the top tucked into his pants. He looked at the Sand Ninja walking towards him and explained.
"I agree with what you said. Actually, I sometimes feel that our village is very dirty.
As for why I came to your village, first of all, I might be targeted. My captain with the explosive figure directly dumped the task on me.
Secondly, I am likely being targeted. Just because I know a little Medical Ninjutsu, the village assigned the task to me.
Finally, I'm definitely being targeted..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the Sand Ninja clenching his fists and walking up to him, his face grim, looking like he was about to attack.
Thump! With a crisp sound, the Sand Ninja didn't say a word, took a few steps back, and staggered to the ground.
Casually hitting the other person's head with his fist, Uchiha Asuka cracked his fingers and continued to mutter.
"Stay away from me, I'm scared when you're too close.
Also, I suspect that the Uchiha Clan leader's wife used some special means to get me a long-term mission away from the village.
Otherwise, why would an S-rank mission fall on a newcomer like me?"
"Has anyone... told you that you're very noisy..."
The Sand Ninja struggled to stand up, feeling dizzy, with stars dancing in his eyes.
Too arrogant, this Konoha Ninja is too arrogant.
Being beaten outside is one thing, but being beaten in the village, he really doesn't treat him like a human being.
"Ah~"
With a roar, the Sand Ninja pulled out a Kunai from his waist and rushed towards Uchiha Asuka.
"Reasoning doesn't work!"
Looking at the Sand Ninja getting closer and closer, Uchiha Asuka turned to face Konoha, and couldn't help but sigh as he thought of his captain's repeated instructions before departure not to cause conflict.
"Captain, I tried to persuade him, but I failed."
"Sorry, I'll bring you some sand-filled buns when I get back to express my apology."
Dodging the Kunai thrust at him, Asuka raised his knee and slammed it into the opponent's abdomen.
Ugh~ The intense pain in his stomach caused a large amount of gastric fluid to flow out of his throat. He knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach, convulsing like a shrimp.
Asuka picked his nose, then looked down at the Sand Ninja convulsing on the ground and said.
"That makes five of you already... You're the strongest of that group."
"Konoha..."
The Sand Ninja raised his head, glaring at Asuka with hatred, but then he saw Asuka ignore him and turn to knock on the door of the adjacent courtyard.
"Pakura, that's the fifth time tonight."
Clap! The dark room instantly lit up, and Pakura, wearing pajamas, opened the window. She looked down at the Sand Ninja lying on the ground, then at Asuka with his hands on his hips and the word 'invincible' written all over his face. Her eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Is defeating a Chunin something to be so proud of?
When Pakura had calmed the Sand Ninja and returned to the courtyard gate, she looked at Asuka, who was wearing a sleeping cap, and asked, puzzled.
"Seriously, is your desire to win so easily satisfied?"
???
Asuka tilted his head and looked at Pakura, explaining.
"I just suddenly thought of Uchiha Madara. The expression he had when looking at his defeated opponents was probably the same as the one I have when looking at that Chunin, with the word 'invincible' written all over my face."
"Heh~"
Pakura's lips twitched, then she waved at Asuka, opened the courtyard gate with some annoyance, and returned to her home.
Tonight, she had come out to resolve issues five times, and hadn't gotten a good night's sleep either.
Clap! Seeing Asuka place his hand on the door frame, blocking her path, Pakura narrowed her eyes and said in an icy tone.
"Do you want to fight me to satisfy that 'invincible' heart of yours?"
"I don't want to!"
Asuka shook his head, then leaned close to Pakura's ear and whispered a few words.
Hmm? After listening, Pakura's expression froze, and then her eyes suddenly widened, and she said coldly.
"If you want to die, I can grant your wish right now."
"Sigh!"
Sighing, Asuka touched his chin, his gaze falling on the Sunagakure orphanage, and said slowly.
"I like to support other people's dreams.
Back when I was only four years old, Tsunade said that Medical Ninjas should be included in mission squads, and proposed establishing a training mechanism for Medical Ninjas. I supported her dream without even thinking about it.
Although the plan to gain favor failed, and she even mistakenly thought I was an evil Uchiha with ulterior motives.
But from then on, I developed the habit of supporting other people's dreams.
"I know your dream is to get Sunagakure out of its predicament as soon as possible, but as your 'temporary' ally, it's impossible for me to offer advice. I can only provide some help within my capabilities."
Pakura's expression faltered. She looked into Uchiha Asuka's clear eyes, and hesitation began to grow in her heart.
The conditions he proposed were simply too generous.
A space the size of a sofa could be exchanged for so much money.
This sucker was practically a fat sheep.
She might not encounter another one if she missed this opportunity. The next morning.
Pakura, fully dressed, walked down the stairs. When she arrived in the first-floor living room and smelled the aroma of food, she subconsciously reached for the ninja tools pouch at her waist. Then, remembering what had happened last night, her eyes began to scan the living room.
She searched around, finding the neatly folded quilt and the covered dishes on the table, but after not finding any trace of Asuka, she walked to the table, lifted the warm breakfast dishes with one hand, and picked up the note on the table with the other, reading it subconsciously.
"This is the first time I've made breakfast since I was weaned.
Everything in your Sunagakure has sand in it.
Even the instant noodles are full of sand."
Pfft!
Looking at the very resentful note, Pakura burst out laughing.
There was no helping it; Sunagakure was hit by a sandstorm every now and then.
Her gaze fell on the simple food, and her eyes were filled with amazement.
A man who could cook was rare enough, but an Uchiha who could cook was unheard of.
Ten minutes later.
Pakura pushed open her door, stretched lazily, and felt refreshed.
When she arrived at the Kazekage Building's conference room, most of the seats were already taken.
At this moment, a Chunin quickly came to Pakura, pointed to the seat below the Kazekage, and said respectfully.
"Pakura-sama, there."
"Thank you!"
Pakura nodded and quickly walked to the seat, sitting down and began to size up the Jonin who had come to the meeting.
Everyone really came.
Almost all the Jonin who could come, except for those guarding their posts and those at the front lines, had arrived.
After a moment, a man wearing black ninja clothes and a bamboo hat pushed open the conference room door and slowly walked in.
"Kazekage-sama!"
Looking at the Jonin who greeted him, Rasa came to the main seat, pressed his hand down, and said in a low voice.
"Let the meeting begin!"
"Wait!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a white scarf and a stubbly beard suddenly looked at Pakura and spoke.
"Before the meeting starts, I would like to ask Jonin Pakura a question."
Looking at the official who spoke first, Pakura frowned slightly and said indifferently.
"Ask!"
"Jonin Pakura, I heard that an Uchiha has moved into your house. How could you agree to such an absurd thing? This is too reckless."
Hearing this, Pakura was amused.
I thought it was something important, so it was about last night.
I didn't expect it to reach his ears so quickly.
She crossed her arms over her chest, leaned back in her chair, and said with a rather smug tone.
"My sofa sold for one million ryo."
"Is your sofa inlaid with gold?"
The official asked subconsciously, then he immediately reacted and scolded.
"Jonin Pakura, don't change the subject.
We are talking about you and the Uchiha, not your gold-inlaid sofa."
"Oh, that sofa was bought by Uchiha Asuka. He spent one million to buy the right to use my sofa for three months. In other words, he is now renting in my house.
I just felt that this deal was very cost-effective, so I agreed.
As for my personal safety and information about the village, I know what I'm doing."
"One... one million ryo??"
The official put his hands on the table, stood up abruptly, and looked at Pakura in disbelief.
Pakura nodded firmly, then she took out a certificate from her ninja pouch, threw it in front of the official, and said slowly without any expression of showing off.
"That's right, it's one million.
And I also donated 900,000 of it to the orphanage.
Donated before coming here."
The official who stood up glanced at the donation certificate, then picked up the document on the table and said without changing his expression.
"According to the information returned by the Iwagakure spies, we speculate that Iwagakure may attack us again.
Now the village is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and with the Daimyo's budget cuts becoming a certainty, our strength is not enough to support multi-line operations. The main task now should be to restore the post-war economy.
We have reached a reconciliation with Konoha and can transfer some ninjas from the Land of Fire border, but this is far from enough.
I propose that we should reach a reconciliation with Mist Village next to get their help.
Kazekage-sama, I have finished speaking."
"Mm!" Rasa nodded.
Sunagakure's finances are already on the verge of crisis, so avoiding multi-front operations is an inevitable trend.
But negotiating with Mist Village might not be easy.
After all, that village isn't as easy to talk to as Konoha.
At the same time.
Uchiha Asuka didn't know that Pakura's gears of fate had already begun to turn. He was currently teaching Medical Ninjutsu to the children of Sunagakure.
It has to be said, Sunagakure's Medical Ninjutsu and Konoha's are really similar.
After roughly looking through the knowledge in the books, Uchiha Asuka looked up at the group of children in front of him with hatred in their eyes. He showed the emotionless face of the Uchiha Clan and said,
"My name is Uchiha Asuka, the Uchiha of Konoha's Uchiha, the Asuka of Konoha's Uchiha Asuka.
In short, I am from Konoha..."
Whoosh! Uchiha Asuka pinched the flying Kunai with his fingers. He crossed his arms, and the chakra in his body, carrying the killing intent accumulated on the battlefield, erupted directly.
Boom! The wooden floor under his feet couldn't withstand the impact of the chakra, and spiderweb-like cracks spread before turning into fragments.
The powerful chakra stirred the surrounding air, causing it to accelerate and turn into a storm, blowing on the faces of the children.
The atmosphere in the room changed instantly.
The hatred in the eyes of these children, who had not seen much of the world, was gradually replaced by fear.
Those with poor mental fortitude rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot.
Those with average mental fortitude trembled and hid behind others.
Those with slightly better mental fortitude barely clenched their fists, but their legs trembled so much that they couldn't stand up.
Just when the children thought they were going to die there, they saw the Konoha Ninja slowly withdraw his aura, and he became harmless again.
"So... so imposing, scared me to death."
"So this is Konoha, no, this is the Uchiha Clan."
"But... but I heard he's a Medical Ninja."
Listening to the faint sobbing sounds below, Uchiha Asuka yawned, raised a finger, and said,
"You can look at others with tinted glasses, but you can't look at their strength with tinted glasses.
When facing someone stronger than you, and on the premise that the other person has no bad intentions, what you should do as much as possible is to learn something beneficial to yourself from them.
Chiyo-sama is willing to gamble with me using her own ninjutsu for your future."
Then, Uchiha Asuka walked past the group of children who hadn't recovered yet and went straight to the door. After lifting the curtain, he looked at the group of children who were still in a daze and continued,
"What are you standing there for? If you don't study hard, Chiyo will cry to death."
After speaking, he lifted the curtain and turned to walk towards the ward where the patients were.
That old woman Chiyo is really something, not to mention taking out Puppet Technique as a bet, taking Medical Ninjutsu as a bet, even if she took out the forbidden Reanimation Jutsu... Oh, if she used Reanimation Jutsu as a bet, it wouldn't be a loss.
Selling it could make a lot of money.
Thinking of the Reanimation Jutsu mastered by that old woman, Asuka's lips twitched.
To be honest, that ninjutsu was indeed powerful, worthy of being called the strongest one-for-one Medical Ninjutsu.
But the drawbacks were too obvious, dividing one's life force to others.
Sigh, the drawbacks are too great.
When Asuka led the group of children who had just recovered, to a certain sickroom, he glanced at the Sand Ninja lying on the bed, turned to look at the children behind him, and said in a calm tone.
"A true Medical Ninja needs to master a lot of knowledge, which requires a lot of energy to cultivate.
But I don't have a lot of energy.
So, I can only let you take shortcuts to quickly become qualified battlefield Medical Ninjas."
Afterward, Asuka came to the window, lifted the Sand Ninja's quilt, pointed to his festering foot, and continued.
"Battlefield Medical Ninjas only need to learn three things to become qualified Medical Ninjas.
Hemostasis, amputation, detoxification.
His injury is obvious, the festering of his foot affects his movement, but in this situation on the battlefield, there is only one path, and that is amputation."
"Wait, wait, wait..."
At this moment, a weak voice suddenly came from the bed. The Sand Ninja opened his eyes and looked at the group of people in the ward. Then he focused his gaze on Asuka and said weakly.
"What if it's not on the battlefield?"
"It's still amputation. Your foot has been delayed for too long, it's ruined."
As he spoke, he took out a rope from his bag, and regardless of the ninja's resistance, he tied him to the bed in a few swift movements.
Pa! He tugged at the taut rope with his hand, Asuka patted his hands in satisfaction, then looked at the group of Sand Ninja children who had some medical knowledge, but were not proficient.
On this point, Chiyo did a good job. She prepared a batch of children for him who had completed theoretical knowledge and rudimentary Medical Ninjutsu, but had no practical opportunities. This saved him from teaching basic knowledge.
"You should have all learned hemostasis techniques."
"Yes! Yes!"
The group of children nodded. Before they could ask any questions, they saw the Uchiha Ninja pull out the large sword from his waist, and then a cold light flashed across the Sand Ninja's thigh.
Thud!
Watching the festering foot fall on the floor like that, such a taboo scene was deeply imprinted in the eyes of this group of children.
Vomit~ Vomit~ Yue~ The sounds of vomiting rose and fell. Asuka opened the window to dissipate the smell, then turned to look at the group of guys who had just mastered hemostasis techniques, and smiled.
"I hope you can stop his bleeding before he loses too much blood, otherwise he may not even be able to be a ninja in the future due to excessive blood loss."
"Ah~"
At this moment, a Medical Ninja who "accidentally" passed by the door, after hearing the various sharp screams from inside the room, his face darkened.
Did they really think Konoha didn't have their spies?
When you teach Medical Ninjas, don't you start with fish first?
To chop off someone's foot in front of these kids, how awful!! But he didn't have any intention of going in to stop it. Putting aside Chiyo-sama's orders, that ninja's foot was indeed beyond saving.
But... they give anesthesia when they amputate, right?
Damn Hidden Leaf!
One hour later.
Asuka squatted on the windowsill. He glanced at the ninja on the sickbed who had fallen into a coma, then looked at the few people barely standing in the room, and clapped his hands.
"Well done, you were able to endure the screams and help him stop the bleeding, that was very good."
"D-Devil..."
The way the people in the room looked at Asuka had completely changed. This guy didn't even blink when he chopped off someone's foot.
And, crucially, he didn't give anesthesia.
Moreover, judging by his practiced movements, how many people has he chopped up before?
"The first lesson I'm teaching you now is decisiveness.
On the battlefield, if you are a Medical Ninja in the squad, and you can't find the source of the disease for the time being, but you can save the other person's life by amputating, don't hesitate.
Chop it off and stop the bleeding.
Also, you must remember that amputation can cure the vast majority of battlefield injuries.
As for anesthesia?? There's no opportunity on the battlefield to give you anesthesia to save people."
After saying that, Asuka took a deep look at the group of children in the room, and then jumped out of the window.
The purpose of doing this today was simply to filter out some candidates.
It would be exhausting to teach dozens of Medical Ninjas all at once.
Time to cook! Thinking of eating sand all day yesterday, Asuka's eyes fell on the old men and women selling vegetables, and he began to think about what to make today.
Pineapple fried rice, I guess.
Appetizing and good with rice.
In addition, the feeling of using money to slam Pakura was indeed great, but he was running out of money quickly.
He'll have to post a few missions tomorrow to earn some living expenses.
"Huff!"
Pakura walked out of the conference room expressionlessly, the fierce wind blowing on her face, causing her to squint subconsciously.
Since the establishment of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Sunagakure had conflicts with Konoha, Mist Village, and Iwagakure.
Among them, the most conflicts were with Konoha, followed by Iwagakure, and Mist Village ranked third.
But the fewest conflicts with Mist Village didn't mean the two villages had the fewest grudges.
The village was about to bleed heavily again.
When Pakura passed by the mission assignment office, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure there, paused in place, then turned and walked to that person's side, asking in confusion.
"Asuka, what are you doing here?"
"Posting a mission!"
Asuka said, filling out a form with his head down, not looking up.
"The shops in your village won't rent to me, so I can only come here to post a mission."
???
Hearing this, Pakura looked at Asuka in bewilderment, then her gaze fell on the mission request form he was filling out, and the corners of her mouth twitched as she looked at the large D-rank mission.
D-rank mission, sales.
Mission reward, 1000 ryo per day + commission.
After reading what Asuka had written, Pakura rubbed her chin, a thoughtful look on her face.
"What is a commission?"
"Commission?"
Asuka put down his pen, handed the completed mission request form to the ninja opposite for review, then turned to look at Pakura, explaining simply.
"It's when I hire some Genin to help me sell things, and then divide the money among them according to a certain percentage.
The more they sell, the more they earn."
"What do you plan to sell?"
Pakura looked at Asuka with some curiosity, this guy actually came to Sunagakure to do business.
Poof! A puff of white smoke flashed, and she saw two more things suddenly appear in Asuka's hands, one smelling like fried chicken, and the other smelling a bit sour and stinky.
"What are these?"
"This is Uchiha Honey Mustard Fried Chicken.
Uchiha Madara developed it for his younger brother back then, and later I found the secret recipe, and after many years of experimentation, I was able to recreate this flavor.
The other is Uchiha Luosifen.
One night, Uchiha Madara deeply felt that the Uchiha Clan was the clan that knew how to love the most, but in the end, their fate was the most tragic, so he developed this Luosifen, so that the clansmen could savor the taste of 'love' and maintain that pure original intention."
After saying that, he looked at the dazed expression in Pakura's eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
If the Senju didn't still have clansmen alive and were very difficult to deal with, he would have actually wanted to make up a story using the names of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara.
What a pity.
Now he could only borrow the name of Uchiha Madara.
That old man probably didn't have many days left to live, right? He shouldn't come looking for trouble with him.
"That's right!"
Pakura shook her head, shaking the image of Uchiha Madara personally making fried chicken out of her mind. She pulled Asuka to a deserted place and asked in a low voice.
"Do you have any research on pregnant women?"
Pregnant women?
Asuka looked at Pakura with a strange expression.
He did have some research on pregnant women, but his research only involved prenatal education.
It was said that prenatal education could change the intelligence level of the fetus, making the child smart, clever, and healthy after birth.
Then, until the test subject grew to be four years old, he didn't find any special changes in the other party's intelligence.
From then on, he gave up his research on pregnant women.
Pakura didn't see Asuka's expression at this time. She vigilantly observed her surroundings and said with some hesitation.
"What should be done if a pregnant woman can't give birth to a child?"
Hearing this, Asuka said without thinking.
"That's simple, you can pull the child out, or if that doesn't work, you can cut them open. Anyway, with the current medical methods, it's difficult for a pregnant woman to die from dystocia.
What, is your friend having a difficult labor?"
Pakura rolled her eyes at Asuka and looked in a certain direction with a worried expression.
Did she not know about cesarean sections? If it were that simple, things would be much easier to solve.
Then she suppressed the matter in her heart and made up an excuse.
"No, I'm just worried about what to do if someone around me encounters a difficult labor in the future."
"Cut them open, what's the big deal!"
Asuka shrugged, not taking the matter to heart at all.
The medical methods in the ninja world were simply more magical than those of later generations. For things like difficult labor, if it wasn't about the same as a cold, it was close enough.
They could revive the dead, let alone give birth to a child.
Four days later, at night.
The round moon hung in the night sky, and the breeze pushed the dark clouds, slowly moving forward.
A rare night without wind, but it revealed a hint of strangeness everywhere.
Sunagakure, outside a certain safe house.
Several elite Sunagakure ninja were guarding the outside, their eyes fixed on the sturdy safe house in front of them.
"Rasa!"
At this moment, a Sunagakure ninja strode up to Rasa, grabbed his collar with both hands, and questioned him angrily.
"Why didn't you tell me about something so big beforehand? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Huff!"
Rasa exhaled heavily, he crossed his arms and looked at the safe house in front of him, a hint of worry in his gloomy face, his tone indifferent.
"Iwagakure is making frequent movements. This decision was made temporarily to protect the village from invasion.
Moreover, this matter is highly confidential. With your status, you are not qualified to know.
Yashamaru, the reason I'm telling you today is only because your sister may be dying, and there's no need to keep it a secret anymore."
Yashamaru released his hand and took two steps back, looking at the indifferent Rasa in disbelief.
"Sister... Sister is dying?"
Two trails of tears slid down his cheeks to the ground, his shoulders shrugged, his teeth clenched, and his voice trembled.
"Why... Why is Sister dying? She's your wife... Why did you put that monster inside her? Did you ask her how she felt?"
Hearing this, the pain in Rasa's eyes flashed away, he glanced at Yashamaru, who was squatting on the ground crying, and said calmly.
"She agreed, to protect the village.
I am the one who sealed the Tailed Beast inside Karura, who was already pregnant.
If you have to hate, hate me, not the village.
But you, Yashamaru, as a ninja, should understand the significance of the Tailed Beast to the village."
"But... But that's my sister..."
"She is also my wife, and the child in her belly is my son. I personally sealed the Tailed Beast inside my own son.
You should understand the fate of the previous three Jinchuriki after they went berserk."
Of course, he understood the fate of the previous three Jinchuriki.
Rasa had scattered their ashes.
Looking up at Rasa's cold expression, Yashamaru's lips parted slightly, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
He clearly... Clearly wasn't like this before he became Kazekage.
When he handed his sister's hand to him, he clearly said he would protect her.
"Huff~"
A breeze blew, and dark clouds gradually covered the moon.
At this moment.
The wind in Sunagakure suddenly stopped.
Asuka, who was lying on the sofa dreaming, suddenly opened his eyes, his Sharingan spinning wildly in their sockets.
He straightened up, his eyes scanning the sofa, which was comparable to a large bed. After confirming that he hadn't transmigrated anywhere else and was still in Pakura's house, Asuka cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted upstairs.
"Pakura, something big is happening in your village."
"The Tanuki is about to tear down the house."
After shouting for a long time without Pakura paying any attention to him, Asuka realized that she must have been hiding something from him when he found the room empty after reaching the top floor.
Afterward, he quickly packed up his belongings, and also helped Pakura pack up the valuable things in her house.
This Tailed Beast's massive chakra is overflowing.
This is the prelude to a rampage.
Dong! Dong! Dong! The ground began to tremble slightly.
Asuka, who was packing his things, was stunned for a moment when he saw the clock falling on the ground, then he looked up at the northeast direction and murmured.
"One-Tail is out already??"
"Ya-ha! I can finally come out."
A sharp voice spread through the air to every corner of Sunagakure. A raccoon dog with curse seal patterns all over its body looked at the white moonlight and roared to the sky.
This shriek... so cheerful... Pushing open the door, Asuka turned to look at the Tailed Beast located on the edge of the village, his mouth twitching twice. Then he jumped onto the roof and started watching the show.
Such a situation where dozens of Sand Ninja die in one day is rare.
I wonder how big the losses will be for Sunagakure tonight.
"Ya-ha!"
One-Tail slowly moved its gaze down. It looked at Rasa standing on the roof in front of it, stretched out its palm, aimed at him, and said with some excitement.
"Found the person I want to kill immediately."
"Hoo!"
Rasa exhaled a mouthful of white air. He glanced at the advisor Chiyo, who was unconscious in the ruins, and then his gaze fell on Shukaku, his expression calm.
"Out again?"
Shukaku's belly bulged, and then it slapped its abdomen fiercely with its big hand, spitting out a large amount of wind-attribute chakra from its mouth.
Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet! Seeing the Wind Release enhanced by the Tailed Beast's chakra flying towards him quickly, Rasa stretched out his arms and slowly rose with his palms facing upwards.
Magnet Release: Gold Dust!
A huge curtain made of gold dust rose between the two of them.
The huge Drilling Air Bullet hit the middle of the curtain, creating a deep depression there, and then fell silent. Then, under Rasa's manipulation, the curtain pressed towards Shukaku like a tsunami.
Shukaku rubbed its eyes. It looked at the sea of sand coming towards it and turned to run.
It is a Tailed Beast, but it is not a fool.
The excitement of just coming out gradually dissipated after seeing the human who could seal it.
Sure enough, the joys and sorrows of humans and Tailed Beasts are not shared, I just feel that they want to imprison me.
Looking at Shukaku running out of the village on all fours, Asuka, who was squatting on the roof, blinked his eyes, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
This guy came out, shouted twice... and ran away?? Fight, why are you being a coward, at worst you'll be sealed.
Speaking of which, Asuka has also reacted now. He looked at Shukaku's departing back and muttered to himself.
"Could it be that Rasa deliberately released this thing to show the outside villages that he can suppress the strength of the Tailed Beast?? Hmm.
That's possible, it's like pulling out a nuclear bomb for a stroll in later generations.
Pulling out One-Tail for a stroll when nothing is happening, and then showing off his ability to suppress the Tailed Beast."
Sigh! After sighing, Asuka turned back to look at the package he had just packed, his mouth twitching. If he had known there was no danger, he would have gone back to sleep.
"Teacher, teacher!"
Amidst the noisy street sounds, it seemed someone was calling him.
Asuka blinked and looked in the direction of the voice, spotting a yellow-haired fellow with a white scarf wrapped around his head, running and shouting towards him.
"Teacher!"
Seeing this delicate-looking guy jump to his side, panting for breath, Asuka carefully sized him up. After searching his memory for a long time without success, he asked in confusion.
"Who are you??"
"I'm Yashamaru."
"Oh~"
Asuka let out a long "oh," then he slammed his right fist into his left palm and nodded.
"Who is Yashamaru?"
"Your student!"
Seeing that Asuka seemed about to say something, Yashamaru quickly held up the woman in his arms and said anxiously.
"Teacher, please save my sister."
Only then did he notice that the other party was holding a woman who was about to die.
"Your sister's injuries are quite serious. How did she get hurt?"
Lifting her eyelids and looking at her gradually dilating pupils, Asuka reached for her pulse, frowned as he felt her increasingly weak heartbeat.
"That, that..."
Looking at the Uchiha mark on the other party's body, and then at his sister's pale face, Yashamaru gritted his teeth and shouted with his eyes closed.
"My sister was injured in the disturbance just now."
Uh! Asuka's mouth twitched. He thought of the One-Tail that Rasa had driven away with a single ninjutsu just now, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Your sister's luck is really bad. If I'm not mistaken, she may be the only person injured in this riot."
"Teacher, please save her."
"Alright, alright."
Looking at Yashamaru, who had even knocked blood from his forehead, Asuka waved his hand, then picked up the blonde woman and said as he walked.
"Guard the door for me, don't let anyone disturb me, or your sister is dead."
"This..."
Yashamaru subconsciously wanted to follow in, but when he saw the closed door, and thought that the village ninjas might come to check later, he swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
Just now, when he saw the One-Tail break through the roof of the safe house and appear in the village, he risked being trampled to death by the Tailed Beast to move his sister out of it.
But seeing his sister's dying breath, and the unconscious Elder Chiyo, his head instantly turned into a mess, and he just instinctively carried his sister towards the Hospital.
When he ran to this panicked street, he saw Asuka squatting on the roof with a huge package on his back, looking like he was running away.
It was only then that he suddenly remembered that Uchiha Asuka, who had taught him Medical Ninjutsu, seemed to be a powerful Medical Ninja.
"Sister, you must survive!"
Glancing at the tightly closed door, Yashamaru took out a Kunai from his pocket, looking around warily.
Before the results came out, no one could enter.
At this moment.
Asuka was a little dumbfounded.
He realized that he had underestimated the extent of this person's injuries. This wasn't just being affected by a Tailed Beast attack.
This was a Tailed Beast living in her stomach.
In the literal sense of living in her stomach.
Placing his hand on the other party's shriveled stomach, Asuka could clearly sense that this person had been a pregnant woman not long ago, but the chakra remaining in her stomach that did not belong to humans indicated that she had an extraordinary relationship with the Tailed Beast.
There was no child in the uterus, but there was chakra belonging to the Tailed Beast.
"Could this be the pregnant woman Pakura mentioned who had a difficult childbirth?"
Looking at the complex pattern on the other party's belly, Asuka, who had studied sealing techniques, could roughly guess that this might be a sealing technique improved by Sunagakure.
No wonder a cesarean section couldn't be performed. It turned out that the Tailed Beast was directly sealed onto the infant through the mother's body, and then the seal was used to prevent the Tailed Beast from escaping.
After deducing the cause and effect, Asuka placed his hand on her lower abdomen, guiding the chakra that did not belong to humans to his palm.
A moment later.
A ball of fiery red chakra enveloped Asuka's palm.
Sealing: Tailed Beast Sealing Technique!
As Asuka formed hand seals quickly, the Tailed Beast's chakra quickly gathered on his finger, forming a rhombus-shaped mark as it disappeared.
Looking at the rhombus-shaped mark on his finger and the burned skin, Asuka's mouth twitched.
Facts proved that he hadn't learned sealing techniques for nothing, it could indeed seal Tailed Beast chakra.
But was this little bit of chakra enough to release two A-rank ninjutsu?
Alas! It wasn't that he hadn't thought about becoming a Jinchuriki, but the Tailed Beasts were all being kept in captivity.
He had originally planned to visit Mist Village in the future to find the Three-Tails, but he didn't expect that the first time he used a sealing technique, it would be to seal the One-Tail's chakra on his finger.
Moreover, this chakra was pitifully small... ps: [This paragraph, I copied from the anime.
Sora, a lay disciple of the Land of Fire's Fire Temple, had a portion of the Nine-Tailed Beast's chakra sealed within him. It was the kind of chakra that dissipated into the air, was collected, and sealed into Sora's body. It wasn't the real Nine-Tails.
It was just Nine-Tails chakra, that chakra didn't have any of the Nine-Tails' consciousness.
It's roughly equivalent to when Naruto distributed chakra to others during the Fourth War.
The protagonist is just sealing a tiny bit of Shukaku's chakra, which will be gone after using it in the future.]
After dawn.
He pushed open the door and glanced at the people standing at the entrance, his gaze settling on the brown-haired man in the middle.
The Kazekage?
After a moment of silence, Asuka spoke.
"Kazekage-sama, I didn't expect our first meeting to be here."
"Mm!"
Rasa nodded, then his gaze passed over Asuka and looked into the room, his eyes narrowed as he asked.
"How is she?"
"Still alive!"
"Hoo!"
After receiving the answer that she was "alive," Rasa took a deep look at Asuka, then led the group of ninja away from the place, leaving only Pakura and Yashamaru, along with a boy and a girl.
"Kazekage-sama, that Konoha Ninja is very likely to know the secret of our Sunagakure Tailed Beast."
Hearing the voice from behind him, Rasa paused, then returned to normal, using the most plain tone to say the most ruthless words.
"I have another son.
If, when the war breaks out, the young son is not able to control Shukaku, then I will extract it and seal it into another son.
In addition, Konoha is our ally.
If he dies here, the Fourth Hokage is not the Third Hokage; he will not let it go."
Hearing this, the Sand Ninja following behind Rasa's eyes flickered.
It would indeed be troublesome if this Uchiha died in the village, and the Fourth Hokage would be an even bigger problem.
Since he can't die here, then if he dies at the hands of someone else, transferring the trouble should be no problem, right?
