Chapter 250
Uchiha Setsuna was eventually declared a traitor and appeared on the underground bounty station's mission list with a high bounty on his head.
At the same time, under the leadership of Orochimaru, the transformation of Konoha's internal barrier and defense system was also approved at the meeting of the senior ninjas.
In Orochimaru's words, the existing Konoha barrier defense system is no longer able to keep up with the times, and this time's White Zetsu attack is a wake-up call.
Therefore, a more sensitive barrier perception technique needs to be created and integrated into the village's defense system.
The Anbu's barrier class, perception class, sealing class, and the technical development department that provided technology were integrated.
Uzumaki Kushina also became one of them.
Her body recovered extremely quickly. With Tsunade's treatment and Uzumaki's own strong physique, just the next day after giving birth to Naruto, her body had completely recovered to its former peak state.
After Tsunade confirmed that she was fine, Kushina rolled up her sleeves and took over part of the sealing task.
As for Naruto? He had the experienced elder Biwako to take care of him while she was busy. To be honest, it was a bit torture for her to spend all her time taking care of a baby.
It was fine when she was under surveillance in the past, but after Orochimaru came to power, except for the fact that she could not leave the village at will, she had enjoyed great freedom.
The aggressive nature that was once forcibly suppressed because of his status as a Jinchūriki is showing signs of resurgence under this kind of "freedom".
In short, she enjoyed the feeling of having a mission, being needed and respected by people and the village, and her husband, Minato Namikaze, was also happy to see this happen.
In the Ninja School, looking at the children in the classroom, although Uzumaki Kushina felt that the number was a little small, she still couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.
This was the first time that she truly became a team leader, so in front of these children who had a talent for learning sealing techniques and would become her first batch of special sealing class students, she still tried her best to maintain her inner joy and helplessness. She recalled the questions and answers she had asked Minato last night on how to become a team leader, and subconsciously did what Minato said to her.
First of all, you need to be friendly, make friends with students, and become someone they can rely on and trust!
Among the students, who numbered less than fifteen, the forehead protectors on two students and the female ninja behind them were quickly captured by Kushina.
"Are you the ones sent by the Sand Village to learn sealing techniques?" Kushina confirmed as she looked at the three people wearing Sand Ninja forehead protectors.
"Yes, I'm Ye Cang, the ambassador of the Konoha diplomatic mission. These two are children from our village who have the talent for sealing techniques." The female ninja from Sand Ninja took over the conversation.
She was a ninja who looked a little serious, but her indifference did not make her seem distant or aloof. At least from the faces of the two children who subconsciously moved closer to the ninja in an unfamiliar environment, there was no sign of fear of each other.
"Scorch Release Master Yegura? I've heard of your name! As a female ninja, you're amazing! I heard that you failed in your bid for the Fourth Kazekage?" Upon hearing the other party's name, Kushina's eyes lit up. She felt happy to see this female ninja who was somewhat famous in the ninja world.
She once dreamed of becoming a Hokage!
Ye Cang didn't know what to say for a moment. Kushina's words sounded like sarcasm, but both her tone and expression revealed a sense of sincerity and intimacy.
She could feel that Kushina had no ill will towards her, but at the same time, she really couldn't answer. Could she answer that she had no intention of competing for the Fourth Kazekage? Or was she unwilling to lose the competition?
She has been exiled to Konoha...
Yes! Ye Cang thought that being thrown to Konoha was a kind of exile! Although the position of the long-term ambassador to Konoha was very high, no matter how much it was said, it could not change the fact that it was a position excluded by the power center of the village.
In Ye Cang's understanding, this position, apart from some possible shady purposes in private, is just a position for retirement.
When necessary, he or she can even be abandoned and sacrificed.
Although he was dissatisfied with Rasa's arrangement, the other party was the Fourth Kazekage, and his cooperation with Konoha had been recognized by the village, as well as the daimyo and nobles of the Wind Country. Unless he defected, as a Sand Ninja, Ye Cang could not refuse the task entrusted by the Kazekage.
"I'm Uzumaki Kushina, the wife of Minato Namikaze!" Seeing Ye Cang's silence, Kushina touched her head awkwardly for a moment, thinking that she didn't have a common name, making it difficult for the other party to answer, so she quickly introduced herself.
Although she had carried out some missions outside the village, most of those missions were highly confidential, and only a handful of people in the entire ninja world knew the nickname of Blood Red Pepper.
"Yellow Flash?" Ye Cang looked at Kushina in surprise. Both Namikaze Minato and she officially became famous in the ninja world during the Third Shinobi World War, but the name of Yellow Flash was much more famous than her.
At least the ninjas from the enemy village would not give such an outrageous order as allowing Ye Cang to abandon the mission after seeing the Scorch Release.
"This is my student's scroll. She has a high talent in sealing techniques." Ye Cang touched the head of a girl next to him and introduced her to Kushina. "That's great! We can teach them together." Kushina nodded. She also knew that she couldn't really treat the Sand Village's Genin as her students and teach them step by step, so she didn't care that Ye Cang's fame scroll was her student.
Before coming here, she had already confirmed the scope of her teaching with Orochimaru and Luna. In the early stage, she would not be able to teach any advanced sealing techniques. The most basic knowledge that was selected to be taught was enough for these Genin in front of her to learn for a long time. Maybe many of them would be eliminated in the future.
Ye Cang has now confirmed that Kushina in front of him is a straightforward, enthusiastic and kind person. At least she does not have hostility and alienation towards her and the students sent by the Sand Ninja.
Although I don't know how she managed to survive in this terrible ninja world with her personality, but thinking about her husband, maybe he was protected enough, right?
After all, his last name is Uzumaki! He is the orphan of a family that is good at sealing.
……
“You really have too many ideas!”
In the technical development department, Tsunade looked at the new plan submitted by Luna, holding her forehead with one hand, and her tone was somewhat helpless.
Faced with an outstanding junior whose creative inspiration was bursting out all the time, Tsunade truly felt that she was actually unable to keep up with the other party's pace.
"I have to say, this plan surprised me! You proposed an idea that has never been thought of before." After reading Luna's plan, Orochimaru exclaimed with great interest.
"Don't you think this is a fantasy? Giving a ninja chakra beyond their own, let alone whether it is possible, just the huge source of chakra that can be used in war is a big problem." Tsunade rolled her eyes at the master and disciple.
"Actually, there are clues. The inspiration for my plan comes from the tailed beast coat and the slug." Lu Ni looked at Tsunade and said softly.
"Tailed beasts and slugs?" Tsunade crossed her arms and looked at Shikagawa with burning eyes, waiting for his further explanation. Orochimaru on the side also looked at Shikagawa in silence with Tsunade.
"I remember that Teacher Tsunade, you have a ninjutsu called Slug Healing Team, right?" Lu Ne asked Tsunade for confirmation.
"Yes, this is a medical ninjutsu that can only be performed by the slug and I working together. This jutsu is the ultimate medical ninjutsu that can heal a large number of ninjas with the power of the slug. As long as the caster has enough chakra, it is no problem to heal a village of ninjas.
The principle of this technique is to transfer my chakra to every ninja who has a slug split body through the splitting of the slug, and heal his injuries.
This technique can also use the slug's body to protect the wounded, and use the slug's vision to share vision, transfer chakra, and transmit information intelligence.
But it also carries a huge burden! Before the Houyu mode, I could only supply its consumption by releasing the Yin Seal. "Tsunade nodded, and while introducing the technique, she also understood what Lu Nie meant.
"You want to refer to the slug's consciousness network and the idea of splitting to transfer chakra and information?" Orochimaru took the lead in saying what Tsunade understood, but soon, he frowned again and said, "But how do you plan to replicate the characteristics of the slug? You can't use the slug, right? Its chakra attribute is healing."
If it only has healing properties, then there is no need to do this, and it is different from what is written in Lu Nie's plan.
"We can make a similar ninja tool based on the characteristics of the slug." Lu Nie replied. Just like the power of the tailed beasts can be distributed to other ninjas by the Jinchuriki, what Lu Nie needs to do is to use a huge source of chakra as an energy source to consume by the ninjas and increase their strength.
"So, what are you going to use as a source of energy?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes: "The tailed beast?"
"You can also use the Gray Stone, which represents life or Yang Chakra." Lu Nie said.
Dragon veins, the Gray Stone, the tailed beasts, and even the almost endless soul power of the underworld when necessary can all serve as energy sources.
The only difference is the difficulty of realization, as well as the difficulties and troubles that need to be faced in the process. The easiest ones at present are undoubtedly the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Gray Stone.
"It seems that you have made new discoveries in your research on the Gray Stone?" Orochimaru was a little envious of Kane for a moment. Although he became the Hokage as he wished, the price was that the time he spent on research was greatly shortened.
He even had the idea of simply resigning after a while and swapping positions with Lu Nie?
Of course, this thought only flashed through Orochimaru's mind. Unless he died in battle, frequent changes of Kage would be detrimental to the stability of the village.
He was able to stabilize the village because he had experienced World War II and World War III, had the support of his teachers, and had a group of supporters.
If he quits now, the village, which is gradually moving from turmoil to stability and back on track, will probably be in turmoil again for a period of time. This will undoubtedly be detrimental to the village and will bring trouble.
