Chapter 139 Don't Let Me Down
Mito pushed open the bedroom door, yawning as she walked out. Looking at Kagura sprawled on the carpet, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
"She wanted to learn ghost energy, so I gave her a little," Jieluo said, crossing her legs and settling into the sofa.
"That's incredibly bold," Mito said. "The power of the Grim Reaper isn't so easy to control."
Therefore, the Jieluo in front of us is not human at all.
This was something Mito had known for a long time.
Hashirama Senju is known as the God of Shinobi, but Yura is some kind of god, demon, or monster.
"The Grim Reaper?"
"Are you interested?" Mito laughed. "It's not easy to get Him to come out; there must be a life as a sacrifice."
Jie Luo waved his hand and said, "Your ancestor still couldn't subdue him."
"There's no other way; the opponent is a god. This level of achievement is already quite remarkable," Mito said. "If you could subdue Him, it would be a huge help."
With Jieluo's current abilities, although he can harm the Grim Reaper, he doesn't know what other trump cards the Grim Reaper has up his sleeve.
Yura waved her hand and looked at Mito, asking, "Do you want to learn?"
"Hmm? Me too?" Mito replied.
"Why not?" Jieluo said.
Mito glanced at Kagura, who was still convulsing on the ground, and said, "Let's wait until she learns it, so I can suffer less."
"pity..."
There were no other strong mice available for the experiment.
"What were you thinking about that was rude just now?" Mito asked, staring at Yura.
"No~" Jieluo turned her head away and curled up on the sofa.
When she has nothing to do, Jieluo just wants to stay quietly like this forever.
The fact that more people can use demonic energy is a good thing for Jieluo, as it allows him to develop many ways to use demonic energy with the help of human resources.
"Is that so... By the way..." Mito said, "The power of demonic energy is a cursed and ominous power. According to records, users are very susceptible to being devoured by demonic energy. Some go mad, some become addicted to killing, and some are even tormented by demonic energy to the point of unbearable pain. As for the reason for the backlash, it is probably because most users are human, not demons."
That's quite a coincidence.
Jieluo said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"I can tell," Mito said, looking at Kagura. "I'm worried something might have happened to her."
"She's as strong as a ghost," Jieluo said.
"That's alright then." Mito narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "What would you like for breakfast? Would you like me to fry an egg?"
"Hmm, add a cup of hot milk," Jieluo said.
"I'm telling you, no matter how much you drink, you won't grow any taller," Mito said without turning her head as she walked toward the kitchen.
"Stop nagging!" Jieluo shrank back into the sofa and buried her head.
Just you wait, I'll definitely grow taller!
In the kitchen, Mito hummed a song as she cracked eggs.
Having spent so much time with her, Mito knows enough about what kind of person Yura is. Despite being a ruthless killer, her bottom line, principles, and moral standards are surprisingly high, surpassing those of over 99% of the ninjas in the ninja world.
When Mito realized this, she found it quite absurd.
After leaving the Land of Water, it took about four days for Hashirama Senju and the others to return to the village by boat.
As always, Hashirama returned to his residence, while Tobirama went straight to the building to handle official business. His experiences in Kirigakure gave him many new ideas.
The village must increase its efforts in training ninjas as soon as possible. While our eldest brother is still alive, we must take decisive action on some matters.
but...
After careful calculation, a real problem arose before Tobirama.
With a large number of high-level ninjas leaving their jobs and leaving the mission system, the village's finances need to be able to support them.
How exactly did they manage to hide in the mist?
After careful consideration, and combining the information he had overheard in Kirigakure, Tobirama focused his attention on the war.
Amidst the massive island-wide war waged by Kirigakure, many ninja clans were unable to escape in time. The accumulated wealth of their entire clans over the years was all pocketed by Kirigakure, and even the powerful clans they served fell to Kirigakure's blades. Rumors circulated that wealthy merchants in the Land of Water would occasionally disappear without a trace, vanishing into thin air, and most of their remaining assets would also disappear without a trace.
Tobirama found it hard to believe that this had nothing to do with Kirigakure.
This has forced some wealthy merchants to issue commissions for the Mist Shadow Guards on an ongoing basis.
The fact that the Tailed Beasts can collect money so lavishly is undoubtedly related to their bulging wallets.
Bai Lian's methods are truly audacious. Isn't she afraid of being exposed and breaking with the noble group of the Water Kingdom?
While this method generates quick profits, maintaining that organizational structure in the long run is clearly unrealistic.
As the number of ninja trained by Kirigakure grew, the village's finances became increasingly strained, leaving them with only one option: to launch a new war.
Are they planning to gamble everything on the First Shinobi World War?
But if you don't keep up at this card table, Konoha will be the loser.
Tobirama's eyes gleamed as he devised a strategy step by step.
In the ancient clan grounds of the Hyuga family, with a single palm strike, the wooden stake in front of them shattered with a deafening roar. Hyuga Tennin retracted his Gentle Fist stance, adjusted his breathing, and emitted streams of chakra energy that seemed almost tangible from his mouth and nose.
Glancing at Hyuga Tennin, the old man said, "No matter how much you train, it won't work unless you can unleash the true potential of the Byakugan."
"Stop talking nonsense, old man," Hyuga Tenjin said coldly.
"Was this rare display of Gentle Fist practice a spur-of-the-moment thing, or was it premeditated?" The old man lowered his eyes and said, "Tianren, who do you intend to kill this time?"
"I saw her," Tianren said.
"Who?" the old man asked.
"Oni-hime," Tennin said in a deep voice.
"How strange, you didn't even make a move." The old man sneered, "What, with Hashirama here, you didn't dare?"
"She fought Hashirama and didn't die," Tennin said. "Hashirama said it himself."
The old man's pupils suddenly contracted, followed by a long, deathly silence.
Much later...
The old man said in a deep voice, "Dissuade yourself from that dangerous idea."
Hyuga Tennin turned to the old man and said, "It's still uncertain who will win or lose. Also, Nakamaro died at her hands..."
'
"Tennin, I don't remember you being the kind of person who would avenge Nakamaro," the old man said.
Hyuga Tennin didn't say much.
But now, there's a reason to take action.
"Nakamaro has a daughter..." Hyuga Tennin said.
"You want to bring her back?" the old man said.
"Only when the bloodlines of Hyuga and Taketori are combined can there be a complete bloodline and a complete Byakugan."
After a long silence, the old man asked, "Are you confident?"
"She will give me a beautiful child, so we need to think this through carefully, old man." He accompanied Hashirama this time to Kirigakure to investigate the true nature of the Kaguya clan.
"I will contact the other clan elders and mobilize the Hyuga's power. Don't let me down, Tennin."
