Chapter 149: Thunder Fang
Chapter 149 The Fang of Thunder Saber
"Master Baishi, there is information from Wuyin Village."
The staff of the Intelligence Department reported to Shiraishi the information they had received in the near future as usual, including the information about Kirigakure Ninja Village, which the staff of the Intelligence Department attached great importance to.
"What happened over there?"
Baishi considered it for a while and asked.
The country of water is isolated overseas, and the Wuyin Ninja Village in the territory adopts a closed policy all the year round, and the management is very strict no matter whether it enters or exits.
The reason why Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company was able to open a branch in Kirigakure Ninja Village was because the maiden Maitreya wrote a letter to the Daimyo of the Water Country. Because of the country-to-country diplomacy, it was allowed to open a branch in Kirigakure Ninja Village in name.
Naturally, gifts from the daimyo of the water kingdom and many great nobles of the water kingdom are indispensable.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy to place people in Kirigakure Ninja Village.
The degree of xenophobia in this village is simply beyond the imagination of outsiders.
When he was in Konoha in the past, Shiraishi also knew something about this village, but at that time, although Wuyin Village was exclusive and closed, it was not to this extent.
Those who entered Kirigakure Village are under the surveillance of Kirigakure Anbu Ninja 24 hours a day, and all they can get are some fragmentary news.
Moreover, neutral personnel from the Kingdom of Ghosts will only be allowed to enter and exit once every other month. If this number of times is exceeded, they can be imprisoned forcibly. This is also the content signed in the agreement, and the review is very strict.
"There seems to be a serious power change inside Wuyin Village. Although it is impossible to determine who is leading it, the personnel stationed in Wuyin Village in the past month can often hear the sound of fighting at night. Even outside, there are often battles."
If it is heard by accident, it can also be regarded as an invasion of foreign enemies.
If the sound of battle could be heard every night to allow foreign enemies to invade, Wuyin Village would not have the power to become one of the five great ninja villages.
Obviously, this is the internal entanglement of Kirigakure Ninja himself. Because some kind of contradiction is too intense, it leads to the confrontation between factions and the tragedy of cannibalism in the village.
"What is the specific reason?"
"According to the existing intelligence speculation, it may be related to the graduation assessment of the Ninja School in March and April this year. This has led to sharper conflicts."
"Ghost incident?"
Shiraishi nodded.
The ninja school graduate named "Momochi Zabuzhan" in Wuyin Village killed all the candidates of the same year in this graduation exam, and he was the only one who graduated.
It wasn’t just Baishi that happened at the time, the other villages must have also got this information one after another, and they probably also gloated about it.
In recent years, Wuyin Village has adopted a test where two groups of two can kill each other, and the winner graduates from the ninja school.
Thus, the legend of 'Blood Mist' was created.
And according to most ninjas' impressions of Kirigakure ninjas, they also evaluate them with words such as 'vicious', 'brutal', and 'bloody'.
Although the number of ninjas has been reduced to a certain extent, the Kirigakure ninjas who have survived are all elites who can see blood at any time, and they can be called ninjas among ninjas.
However, there was an accident that only one candidate graduated this year. Even if Kigashi is following the 'elite' route, the senior management cannot remain indifferent.
It is likely that various discussions and opinions have been carried out on this matter.
According to what Baishi knows, not all the high-level officials in Wuyin Village like their village to be named "Blood Mist Village". This year, this kind of thing happened again, which will inevitably lead to further conflicts.
The internal strife in Wuyin Village probably took this opportunity to completely tear the face between the factions.
One side wants to continue to implement the 'Blood Fog' policy, while the other side wants to cancel this unreasonable examination method immediately.
However, since Kirigakure Village is one of the five major ninja villages that has always practiced secrecy, Shiraishi can only make inferences to this extent.
More clues can only be seen from the follow-up actions of Kirigakure Ninja Village.
"Let the personnel stationed in Wuyin Village not act rashly and do their duty well."
"yes."
After the staff of the intelligence department went down, Baishi pondered and thought.
The xenophobia in Wuyin Village is becoming more and more serious. As a result, sooner or later, the personnel stationed in Wuyin Village will definitely be kicked out. Even if there is a guarantee from the great name of the country of water and those great nobles, it cannot be taken lightly.
Besides, there are a lot of guarantee fees for the daimyo of the country of water and those great nobles every year.
If it wasn't for the purpose of burying some chess pieces in Wuyin Village and obtaining more information, he would not be willing to associate with the aristocrats of the Water Country.
As far as Shiraishi knows, the reason why Hidden Wu Village has become like this is also inseparable from the fact that the nobles of the country of water have continuously reduced the funds for Hidden Wu Village.
The country of water hangs alone overseas. Except for participating in the first ninja world war, it has been dormant since then, and has no intensive contact with countries on the mainland.
As a result, the ninjas in Wuyin Village are almost useless.
Different from Konoha, the Fire Nation is surrounded by enemies. Therefore, among the five major countries, the annual development funds given by the Fire Nation daimyo to Konoha are numbers that make other ninja villages jealous.
However, Kirigakure wants to develop, but the daimyo and nobles of the country of water are unwilling to bear heavy military expenditures. After all, ninjas only need to maintain the status quo and do not need to expand externally. It is enough for the daimyos and nobles to defend the country well.
Although this is a very stupid policy in Shiraishi's view.
But from the perspective of those with vested interests, daimyo and nobles are also based on their own interests, reducing the ninja's expenses and enjoying extravagance and waste.
As for the common people, they are the poor and weak class that are collectively ignored by ninjas and nobles.
If Wuyin Village wants to make a change and break this deadlock, most of the internal high-level officials will inevitably be implicated, and even the daimyo and nobles may be implicated.
"Let's wait and see for a while."
Shiraishi did not take any countermeasures in the end.
The current situation in Wuyin Village is not clear, and it is not sure how far the struggle between the factions has reached, and what is the situation of the leaders of each faction.
As a neutral person, he only needs to do his job well.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."
In the clean white room, there is a dim yellow light shining.
Under the rendering of the late-night environment, the room is filled with the shadow of death.
A woman was lying on a hospital bed in extreme pain, her eyes could barely be opened, she was staring at the light on the ceiling with a somewhat numb expression, her face had an abnormally pale color, and she was dying of illness.
At this moment, a figure wearing a mask and a ninja suit came in from the door, holding a bowl of soup in his hand, and slowly approached the woman on the hospital bed.
Wearing such a costume means that he is an Anbe ninja directly under Kirigashi Mizukage.
It is also the famous Wuyin chasing and killing force.
Through the position of the eyeholes in the mask, the ninja's gaze was cold and without mercy. He just followed Mizukage's order and came here to perform the task.
"Master Uyuri, it's time to take medicine."
The woman on the hospital bed turned her head, looked at the bowl of soup in Kirigakure Anbe's hand, with fear in her eyes, and shook her head vigorously on the bed.
"I'm not sick...take away..."
"Only patients can say that they are not sick. This is the medicinal soup prepared by Mizukage-sama himself. It is very beneficial to your body. Drink it while it is hot."
The Kirigakure Anbe tried to slow down his tone as much as possible, and said to the woman on the hospital bed.
"...take away..."
"You are one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure, don't be so self-willed. After recovering from illness, you have to fight the enemy. I will feed you."
Speaking, ignoring the struggle of the woman on the hospital bed, Kirigakure Anbe forced her to grab the woman's shoulders, let her stand up, and put the mouth of the bowl full of medicinal soup on the woman's pale lips.
Just when Kirigakure Anbe was about to tilt the mouth of the bowl and force the woman to drink the medicinal soup, he suddenly noticed something and dodged to the side. The bowl full of medicinal soup fell to the ground, and the medicinal soup was scattered all over the floor.
Click!
The sound of a broken neck.
After dodging in time, he still couldn't escape the attacker's attack.
The attainments in the instant body art are obviously far superior to this Kirigakure Anbe ninja.
The person came to the side of the hospital bed, looked at the woman whose face was twitching in pain on the bed, and sighed softly.
The woman on the hospital bed breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the person who came to the bed, and opened her lips lightly:
"Long time no see... I heard that you have joined the third generation... Are you here to kill me?"
The man didn't answer, but reached out and placed his hand on the woman's forehead.
The woman on the hospital bed immediately felt tired and fell asleep on the hospital bed.

early morning.
Sunlight shines through the mist on the buildings in Wuyin Village.
On this silent morning, a force of more than a dozen ninjas rushed towards the outside of Wuyin Village.
Headed by two male ninjas.
A woman with long yellow thorny hair, wearing an Anbu mask of Kirigakure on her face, with slender limbs like a young woman, but her real gender is male, and she is carrying a needle-like prop on her back.
Seven ninja swordsmen, the holder of the long sword and needle—Kuri Sara Kushimaru.
The other person has long black hair, a vertical whip and long beard that are also very recognizable, his left eye is covered with a black cloth, and his teeth are sharp, giving people a cruel and vicious image.
Ninja Swordsman Seven, the owner of Explosive Sword and Droplets—Murashi Jinhachi.
As the "ruthless duo" among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Kuri Sakushimaru and Murashi Jinpachi are often inseparable. They fight in groups of two. In the ninja world, they are notorious ninjas because they always kill their enemies by means of brutal killing.
But the two of them took it as fun and glory.
Followed behind them are also elite ninjas from Wuyin Village.
Now, the two of them are carrying out a confidential S-class mission conveyed by the third Mizukage himself.
When they reached the outside of the village, they all kept moving at high speed.
"Really, let the two of us handle this kind of task, it seems that the third generation really has no one available."
Murashi Jinhachi's arrogant voice spread in the misty forest.
Those who followed were all cronies of the two of them, so there was no need to cover up and dare not speak nonsense like in the village.
And saying this kind of thing is just complaining.
"After all, at such an old age, it is inevitable that I am a little powerless. As I said earlier, it would not be so much trouble to let him execute people directly. If you insist on saying that it is a companion in the village, she contracted a serious illness and died young in the name of a genius. The old eyes are dim."
"Hmph. Compared to this, I care more about who let that woman out privately."
"There are too many people who can be suspicious."
Chestnut Shot Kushimaru answered.
There are not a few people in the village who oppose the glorious 'blood mist' policy. Although some of them have been cleaned up before, it seems that the effect is not very good, and they are still stubbornly resisting.
"After dealing with this sick child, come back and kill it. The blood of the opposition, just use my explosive knife to blow up everywhere."
Murashi Jinhachi grinned his lips, revealing extremely sharp teeth, and let out a cruel and weird laugh.
◎
The country of fire, Konoha.
In the conference room where there were only three people, Hokage Hiraku stared at the two of them, Koharu and Mitomonyan, indifferently.
Facing Hirizhan’s gaze, the two advisors hesitated for a moment, and before they could speak, Hirizhan had already taken the lead in questioning them: “Why did you privately pass on my order to search the Hyuga Clan?”
At first, he was reluctant to believe it.
Returning to bed, Koharu and Mitomon Yankai are so bold that they privately pass on the warrant of his Hokage, and investigate the Hyuga clan's white-eyed related information.
After learning about it, Ri Zhan was about to vomit three liters of blood, his face extremely angry.
If it wasn’t for these two being his comrades-in-arms since childhood, I really wanted Anbu to imprison them in Konoha Prison immediately, and reflect on it for a while.
As consultants, do they really not know what level of felony it is to fake the Hokage order?
One who is not good, and even wants to deprive himself of his status as a consultant, will have to enter Konoha Prison, with almost no possibility of getting out of prison.
However, not only did these two people do it, but they were still at this juncture.
If the Hyuga Clan is dissatisfied with him as Hokage because of this matter, then no matter how to make up for it later, it will be difficult to fill this scar.
"We did this for the sake of you, Hyuga. The situation that was finally balanced cannot be broken because of the Hyuga clan."
Turning to bed, Xiaochun said.
"If you really put me, Hokage, in your eyes, you won't do these unnecessary things. The Uchiha's thing is the same, and now even the Hyuga clan is the same... Are you planning to push them all to the opposite side?"
Ri Zhan questioned the two angrily.
The sound was so loud that even Anbu, who was guarding outside, could clearly hear it.
It was also the first time for them to see that Hokage-sama, who was always gentle and benevolent, would burst into such terrible anger.
"This... We didn't force it. In fact, after we went there, the people of the Zong family quickly allowed to read the relevant information of Baiyan there, and there was no dissatisfaction."
Mitomonyan tried to shift the topic to other places to cool down Hizhan.
"...the problem is not this. You..."
Ri Zhan had a splitting headache, and really didn't know what words to use to reprimand these two comrades-in-arms.
Why do you have to disrupt his deployment every time?
"The matter of Baiyan has a lot to do with it. No matter how you say it, we want to protect the village of Konoha and adhere to the philosophy of Teacher Tomona."
Hearing the words 'Teacher Feijian', Hirizhan's face was complicated, his heart softened obviously, and he sighed.
"Yeah, that's the only way we can rest assured. After all, Hyuga's supercilious role on the battlefield is obvious to all, and there can be no surprises. And this time we went to the Hyuga clan to discuss, and indeed learned a lot of secrets about supercilious. We will sort out the information and leave it to you to decide."
Mitomonyan continued to change the topic, mentioning what he had gained after going to Hyuga with Zhuanshu Koharu.
"This is not an example."
Saying this sentence, Ri Zhan felt that he had aged a lot in an instant.
The body is not aging yet, but the inside is gradually feeling powerless.
"Your mistakes this time, I will deduct from the salary of the two of you for the next three years. In addition, you are not allowed to pass on my orders privately!"
"We get it."
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief, this matter was barely over.
Just when the two were about to continue talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
An Anbu ninja walked in and reported to Hizhan, "Master Hokage, the Messenger Kirigakure please see me."
"Fog hidden?"
After hearing this, the three of them all looked at each other in surprise, wondering what purpose Kirigakure had for coming to Konoha at this time?
Then Anbu presented Kirigakure Ninja's letter.
Ri Zhan opened it and frowned after reading the contents of the letter.
Afterwards, Zhuanshu Xiaoharu and Mito Menyan also read the letters one after another, frowning.
The content of the letter is very simple.
Hoping that Tsunade, one of the Sannin, can take action to cure the disease of Hayashi Uyuri, the holder of the Lightning Saber Fang of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Kirigakure is willing to start diplomacy with Konoha.
"What do you think?"
"Since you have something to ask for, please agree. Now that the war is so fierce, Konoha urgently needs a powerful ally."
Although Kirigakure's "Blood Mist Village" has a bad reputation recently, this is someone else's family business, and as a Konoha executive, I can't judge it.
What they value is only Kirigakure's attitude towards Konoha.
◎
In Konoha Hospital.
Tsuna holds the printed information in his hand. Not only is there a human body structure diagram drawn on it, but ominous black spots are also marked in many places. The more he reads, the deeper Tsunade's brows are.
She looked at the woman on the operating table who felt like a cold corpse, her breathing was weak, and she might die at any moment.
Afterwards, she put down the materials, walked out of the operating room, and went to the next room, where a female ninja of Kirigakure sat anxiously waiting.
Seeing Tsunade coming in, the female ninja immediately stood up and asked eagerly: "Master Tsunade, how is Ringo Jōnin's condition? Can it be cured?"
Tsunade could see the anxiety of this Kirigakure ninja, shook his head and said: "Forgive me for being powerless, what she has is not an incurable disease at all, but a long-term poison that completely destroyed her body functions. It is a miracle that she is still alive now."
The female ninja Kirigakure was stunned.
"Master Tsunade, you are the strongest medical ninja in the medical field, are you kidding me?"
She couldn't believe it.
"Are you a medical ninja too? You should know how bad this Ms. Ringo Uyuri is. To be honest, this is no longer a medical ninja can treat. The poison has been deeply rooted in her bone marrow and merged into one."
"Can I just give up?"
"Hmm... not quite."
Tsunade's words gave Kirigakure female ninja hope.
"How to say?"
"I have cleaned up the poison in Miss Ringo's body. But if I guess right, this poison has been deeply rooted in Miss Ringo's body for a year. The poison has already eroded all her bones. Even if the poison is removed, her whole body's bones will become fragile because of it. The price of saving her life is that she can only spend the rest of her life in a hospital bed."
"..."
The female ninja Kirigakure remained silent.
For ninjas, this is no different from death.
"In any case, thank you very much, Tsunade-sama. Kirigakure will remember your kindness."
"You're welcome, that's all I can do."
Tsunade sighed.
Seeing Lin Yuyuli like this, she probably guessed that the inner chaos of the hidden fog.
Instead of directly killing Hayashi Uyuri, the holder of the Thunder Saber Tooth, she was slowly eroded with poison, disguising her as a genius who died young... For a woman, for a ninja, it is more cruel than death.
"Then, I will take my leave first."
No matter what, the injury of Ringo Shangren must be healed. This is an order issued by her immediate superior, and she must be carried out unswervingly.
However, even Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, Konoha's medical master, was helpless, and the ninja Kirigakure was also extremely at a loss.
I can only take one step at a time.
was walking out the door, Tsunade hesitated behind, and stopped the female ninja Kikakure:
"That, please wait."
"Is there anything else, Tsunade-sama?"
"It's nothing, I just want to ask, will you still be busy with Miss Ringo's affairs?"
Tsunade asked.
"Yes. I know the odds are slim, but I don't want to give up."
"The idea is good, but it's a bit unrealistic. Moreover, you will only waste time if you rush to the doctor like this."
Tsunade said so.
The eyes of the female ninja Kirigakure came back to life and asked: "Does Tsunade-sama know someone who can heal Ringo Jonin's injury?"
"Well... To be honest, I don't really want to mention that person's name."
A trace of complexity flashed across Tsunade's eyes.
"The person's name?"
Kistakure Ninja tilted her head.
"Chiba Shiraishi."
"?"
I haven’t heard of it. Is this person famous?
A trace of bewilderment flashed in the eyes of the female ninja Kirigakure.
Among the famous medical ninjas in the ninja world, there doesn't seem to be an outstanding medical ninja named 'Chiba Shiraishi'.
Even if they are hidden in the fog and then closed, it is impossible to know nothing about it.
However, the name is a bit familiar, but I just can't remember who it is.
"The S-class defected ninja who escaped from our Konoha before can be regarded as one of my students."
"Master Tsunade's...student?"
"It's not the kind of master and apprentice. I taught him some medical ninjutsu during my tenure in the ninja school."
Tsunade said.
Kirigakure female ninja seems to have remembered something about this person.
"Is his medical ninjutsu better than Tsunade-sama?"
"No, in general, his medical ninjutsu should not be exaggerated to this point. But in terms of treating injuries in this area, he has more methods than me."
Tsunade guessed that Shiraishi, who had learned fairy art, must have mastered the extremely powerful healing fairy art of the live slug.
It should not be difficult to transform chakra into strong vitality and rejuvenate Ringo Yuri's body.
"But the problem is, I don't know where he is now."
"..."
Kirigakure female ninja didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Is there any other method?"
"Go to the country of ghosts."
"The country of ghosts?"
"The drugs developed by Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company have the function of activating the body. According to my inference, there should be more effective body activating drugs in their company, but they are not sold on the market."
Tsunade told Kirigakure that there is another way.
"The pharmaceutical company in the ghost country?"
Kigakure female ninja showed a pensive look.
Indeed, the drug from that company is indeed very effective, and they also cooperate with it.
"I see. In short, thank you very much, Tsunade-sama. Then, without further delay, I will leave. Say hello to Hokage-sama for me, and Kirigakure will remember Konoha's friendship."
"goodbye."
Tsunade watched Kirigakure Ninja leave, sat on a chair and looked out the window, fascinated.
(PS: There is another chapter to be updated in the evening)
