Create a swarm technology tree in Konoha

Seeing that Aburame Tetsumaru had completely disappeared, Orochimaru also put away his obsession with ninjutsu. He stood up and took out the meat worm that Aburame Tetsumaru gave him.

We must find a way to study this kind of treasure, which can restore injuries and chakra by eating one. It is a life-saving magical item, and you can never have too much.

This kind of good thing probably has a mechanism. After repeated inspections, he confirmed that he could not find any problems. Orochimaru could only put it away with a wry smile. Since he could not find the mechanism, he could only hold his nose and accept it.

Anyway, Tetsumaru-kun will not kill me. Orochimaru has learned the spiritual victory method without any teacher.

Just when Orochimaru channeled Orochimaru and disposed of the bodies of several root ninjas, several young ninjas came over. As soon as they saw Orochimaru, they quickly approached and then knelt down on one knee.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Orochimaru nodded, but did not speak. It was not until Orochimaru had disposed of all the corpses and lifted the psychic spell that he said, "Yes. Let's go."

"Yes, sir."

After Orochimaru left, a black mimosa emerged from the roots of a nearby big tree, and Black Zetsu appeared.

At the same time, a spiral vortex appeared on the branch above him, and then Obito wearing an orange spiral mask jumped out.

Black Zetsu closed his eyes and continued to feel the depth. After a few minutes, he sighed: "I can finally confirm it. Konoha Jounin Aburame Tetsumaru has practiced senjutsu and has the ability to perceive Bai Zetsu. The one he was chasing just now Bai Jue has been killed."

"Is celestial magic very powerful?" Obito asked. His voice was very strange, dull, hoarse, and distorted, with a strong sense of death. He was almost like a dying person.

"Senjutsu is very powerful. Before Aburame Tetsumaru, only Jiraiya of Konoha Village had mastered senjutsu in the entire ninja world. After that, only Senju Hashirama, the first Hokage, had mastered it."

Obito was shocked. After being trained by Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu, he was no longer a novice on the history of the ninja world. He could understand the meaning of the name Senju Hashirama.

The most powerful person in the ninja world, the Hokage who dominates an era, the Aburame Tetsumaru jounin just now can actually compare with the first generation Hokage?

Hearing Obito's inquiry, Black Zetsu said: "Even if they have practiced senjutsu, there are still strong and weak ones. This Aburame should be more powerful than Jiraiya, but she is far behind Senju Hashirama. , it’s too far behind.”

"If Aburame Tetsumaru is really as powerful as Senju Hashirama, we really have nothing to do against Konoha Village, we can only wait slowly."

Obito said: "As long as it doesn't hinder our plan, that's fine. But even if Orochimaru defected, Konoha's power is still too strong. Who will we target next?"

Black Zetsu smiled thoughtfully: "You don't know Konoha. As long as Orochimaru runs away, Jiraiya will never stay in the village."

Obito nodded, then shook his head and said: "It's still not enough. As long as you find the right time, Kushina will be extremely weak. Don't worry. I will deal with the fourth generation Hokage Namikaze Minato. Sarutobi Hiruzen and those old guys As long as you release the Nine Tails, you can suppress him until he dies, and there will be no problem."

"But what about Aburame Tetsumaru? You said he is more troublesome than Jiraiya, and doesn't he have two helpers who can suppress Orochimaru? So what about this?"

"The two giants who suppressed Orochimaru are special clones, not extra helpers." Black Zetsu said, "But Aburame Tetsumaru has more than two special clones, which is really troublesome, so the task of dealing with him is Just leave it to the most suitable person.”

Obito immediately understood what Black Zetsu said, and he nodded: "Well, it is indeed the most suitable, so there will be no problem."

After speaking, Obito's right eye produced a whirlpool, absorbing himself into it, and Black Zetsu also sank into his own shadow and disappeared.

…

The next day, the entire ninja world learned exciting news. Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, defected. Konoha Village issued an S-class wanted order in the name of the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, confirming that His identity is an S-class rebellious ninja.

Because of his drunkenness the night before, Jiraiya only found out about Orochimaru's defection after dawn. He refused to believe the news at all and frantically searched the whole village without finding Orochimaru.

It wasn't until he saw all the incriminating evidence left by Orochimaru in the Intelligence Department, and saw the newly brought back ninja relics in the Hokage's office, including even the relics of Sarutobi Hiruzen's eldest son, that Jiraiya finally gave up.

Jiraiya left the Hokage Building in despair, refused everyone's comfort, went to the izakaya alone, hid in a corner and drank all night.

After dawn, Jiraiya, smelling of alcohol, left Konoha. He said he wanted to bring Orochimaru back. Faced with the heartbroken Sarutobi Hiruzen's efforts to persuade him to stay, Jiraiya just kept smirking. Without making any positive answer, he left decisively.

As a result, the shadows in the ninja world received another good news, and Jiraiya also left the Leaf Village.

Suddenly, Konoha Village didn't even have a "Sannin" anymore, and its top combat power was instantly reduced by half. Kumogakure Village breathed a huge sigh of relief.

In fact, the same goes for Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure. Although the war has ceased, the strength of Konoha Village still overwhelms them.

Suddenly, Konohagakure clearly lost a Kage-level ninja, and then another one left. It was great. God bless Sunagakure Village/Iwagakure Village/Kumogakure Village.

Many people in Kumogakure Village are praying. If only something happens to Namikaze Minato, we can stand still and launch another attack on the Land of Fire.

Kirigakure Village felt that they were blessed by God a month ago, because at that time, news came that surprised them, and there was another coup in the Kingdom of Water.

The news came from the fleeing local lords and the ninjas they hired. The top leaders of the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Fire are accustomed to this. In the Kingdom of Water, they have been conducting coups every year in recent years. Isn't this what they do? Ordinary daily activities at home?

Not to mention foreigners, even the Kirigakure Village ninjas who fled to the Country of Whirlpool and the Country of Waves, and even those who escaped, were also used to it. No one felt that this coup was any different.

The Fourth Mizukage Kito Mangetsu began to plan a counterattack. They were actively discussing how to organize their troops, which noble family in the Kingdom of Water to join forces with, how to attract assistance from the Leaf Village, and how to hire wandering ninjas. They had only one purpose, to fight back home. go.

But what they don’t know is that the changes that happened in the Kingdom of Water this time were not a coup, but an unprecedented social transformation. Every lord needs to give up personal control over the people in his territory, and every landowner must give up land exceeding a certain area. land.

Moreover, the tired bird who presided over the reform was very ruthless. Anyone who did not accept his demands would be expelled from the Kingdom of Water. Except for the assets that could be taken away with him, all others would be confiscated.

Most of the lords were unable to accept the conditions proposed by Tired Bird, and there were some timid ones among them who finally chose to go into exile with their whole family, carrying large and small bags of luggage.

This is also the reason why the news of this incident in Water Country spread quickly.

However, more lords chose to resist. They felt that they could drive away Kirigakure Village by joining forces, and they were the absolute helpers. Now that they have so many ninjas, they can certainly drive away this group of people.

Isn't this a simple matter?

Then, the ninjas under the lords stopped working. I'll choke them. You really don't know what kind of scum you are. You don't want to take us with you if you want to die.

There are only a few ninjas who stand together with their lords. Some are really unwilling to do so and have finally seized the opportunity. Some are because they have married the lord's daughter and the interests of both parties have been integrated. Of course, some are really stupid.

But in general, there were not many ninjas who dared to resist. In fact, there were not many battles, and the local lords of the Water Country were suppressed.

Those who resist will have all their property confiscated and be sent to the mines to work as coolies. It doesn't matter that there are not many mines in the Water Kingdom. Juanniao has opened dozens of salt farms specifically. The salt industry is also very hard, no worse than the mines.

Previously, Aburame Tetsumaru controlled the Water Country through local lords without direct management. They didn't know that an island country built in the sea had no salt production. Instead, it purchased salt from merchants on the mainland. Such outrageous things were It's just magical that it can happen.

Faced with this situation, Juaniao decided to open a salt farm without even thinking about it, skipping the sun-dried salt industry and directly launching a particularly advanced mushroom carpet salt industry, which produces large amounts of salt, has high purity and is of good quality.

He picked the fungus spores from the mother nest along the coast of the country of tea and planted them directly on the beach. The fungus will naturally extend under the sea. This kind of fungi that has lived on the seaside for many years has already adapted to seawater and has a powerful function of filtering and precipitating salt. It can completely separate the salt in seawater and produce fresh water at the same time.

The precipitated salt will condense on the surface of the carpet. In the Kingdom of Tea, there will be bugs to collect and transport it, but in the Kingdom of Water, this job is left to the captives.

Don't say that labor is the most glorious, and mere feudal lords are not worthy of enjoying the greatest treatment. Juaniao is engaged in capitalism, and even coolies must engage in commodity exchange.

Juaniao deliberately set up the salt farms on uninhabited desert islands. The captives had to exchange the collected salt for food and fresh water every day. If they did not work hard, they would starve and thirst.

The management work of this kind of desert island salt farm is still very simple. Juanniao is not willing to use his own people, and he is not even willing to hire people. He contracts it directly to businessmen. Sixty percent of the salt produced by the salt farm belongs to the businessmen. This It is the merchant's reward.

For humanitarian reasons, Juaniao stipulates that the death rate of captives in the salt field cannot exceed one twentieth. If it exceeds, the contract will be terminated and replaced by a businessman. This should greatly reduce the mortality rate of captives, right?

It is true that there were not many battles during the transformation of the Kingdom of Water, but in order to transform the country's feudal system, the progress of the strategy was still very slow.

In the past year, the infiltration of Mist ninjas occurred all the time, but their losses also continued to accumulate. At this critical moment, it was difficult to gather enough ninjas. The Fourth Mizukage and the Genshi tried their best, spent four months, and finally gathered four thousand elite Mist Ninjas, and started to interfere with extremely slow movements.

In fact, the outcome of the war is doomed. Kirigakure is just a group of bereaved dogs. They have no foundation, and they don’t know how to run it at all. They can’t get any money from the wrath they caused in the Country of Whirlpool and the Country of Waves. It will take less than two years. Living in Exile The strength of Kirigakure Village continues to weaken day by day.

Although there was only one descendant in charge of the Kingdom of Water, and it was difficult to carry out asset changes, the tired bird still easily withstood the attack of Kirigakure Village.

The method was simple. Tired Bird hired all the Mist Ninjas who stayed in the Kingdom of Water, bribed them with a thirty-year long-term mission and pension agreement, and organized them into a new type of Ninja Army that was suitable for cooperating with the insect swarm.

The combat mode of these ninjas has become to follow the insect swarm to the battlefield, hide in the insect swarm to observe the enemy, and use the cover of the insect swarm to sneak attack on the enemy. Once it is confirmed that the enemy is strong and the following insect swarm cannot defeat it, they will abandon the insect swarm and run away. .

The bonuses for such a comfortable mission are not low. The key is that Tired Bird, who is not short of money, pays them wages, as well as mission allowances and battlefield subsidies. Even if they lose the battle, they will be based on the information fed back by the insect swarm, according to their contribution and bravery. Give them a bonus, maybe even half of the bonus for completing the task.

The so-called salary is in place, God will kill it for you.

Under such a reward system, the ninjas who were renamed water ninjas fought very seriously and hard. No matter how dangerous the situation was, they would persist until the last moment before retreating. Even if they were surrounded, they would fight until the last moment.

This shocked Mizukage and Genshi. They knew these guys. Except for the traitors like the Kaguya clan, they were all weak ninjas who had been abandoned by them. How did they become so brave and good at fighting?

As a result, the captive water ninja interrogated and found out that it was all about money.

Gui Deng was so angry that he had a headache. He couldn't help shouting: "You are risking your life just for a few stinky money. Where is your honor? Where is your dignity?"

A group of captives looked at the Fourth Mizukage with stupid eyes and muttered: "Bullshit honor, isn't it just that you can't bear to give money and still want us to risk our lives?"

The furious Mizukage was about to kill someone, but was stopped by the Master. Prisoners must not be killed in public. Once he does this, the enemy will fight until death no matter what the circumstances, and the losses on his side will definitely be You can't reach the sky if you are too high.

In fact, these prisoners were caught because the weirdo was actually willing to spend money on the prisoners. Not only was he willing to pay to redeem them, but he would also pay these people a compensation after they were redeemed.

This is inhumane and goes too far. These prisoners will not change their minds at all when they go back, and will continue to fight against Kirigakure Village with all their heart. Even the spies used by Mizukage and Genshi to instigate rebellion among the prisoners are not reliable. Most of them He immediately rebelled as soon as he returned, and the rest cannot be determined whether they were sincere spies or counter-intuitive.

More and more Mist ninjas are attracted by money and quietly invest in each other. In the beginning, those Mist ninjas were just lonely people. Gradually, those unpopular ninjas in the ninja clan stopped coming back when they went on missions. Now they even All the small ninja clan will disappear as a whole.

Under the attack of Juaniao's money-spreading method, only one and a half months into the war, the counterattack organized by Wuyin Village with great effort could no longer be fought.

Kirigakure Village's massive counterattack lasted for forty-six lively days, ending with Kirigakure Village's dejected return to the Country of Whirlpool. It ended in an anticlimactic manner.

Juaniao just snorted at this and continued to work on sorting out the internal affairs. Not only did he have to establish an economic system, he also had to establish an education system to cultivate talents, and an examination system to harvest talents. The workload was so heavy that he couldn't even worry about fighting.
