Chapter 266
The resurrection experiment can only be put on hold temporarily.
However, Tsunade and the others were prepared for the possibility of failure at the beginning of the experiment. So after Tsunade destroyed the floor of the laboratory used for resurrection with a punch, she left in dismay with a bill.
She was not unhappy about the bill that Lu Nie gave her. After all, the finances of Konoha Hospital were pretty good recently, and the days when she had no money were long gone.
The bill Lu Nie gave her was not as much as the money she spent on buying an instrument.
She was just unhappy about the failure of this experiment.
Although Orochimaru felt a little regretful, he left with a smile on his face. For him, who often fails in experiments, a failure does not discourage him. What makes him unhappy is that he did not find the problem that caused the failure in the experiment.
As long as we can find problems, we can solve them and improve loopholes. Every problem found in failure is a step to success after being solved.
……
"Konoha and the Sand Ninja sent a Kage meeting?"
In the Iwagakure Village, in the Tsuchikage's office, Ōnoki looked at the reply letters from Konoha and the Sand Ninjas, his eyes suddenly widened, and his hunched little body suddenly felt a pain in the waist because of his sudden shock.
"my waist!"
Ohnoki sighed, holding his waist and crying out in pain. After the war, he felt his aging more and more.
The scars from all the Ninja World Wars, after his body declined from its peak, reminded him in various ways that he was aging and that he urgently needed a successor.
At present, most of the five major ninja villages have their own fourth-generation Kage, and only Iwagakure is currently in a period of transition.
His son Huangtu has enough strength and prestige, but his character is simple and honest, which makes him unsuitable for the role of Kage. If he is allowed to lead a ninja army, he can become a good general, but if he is allowed to become Kage, Ohnoki is worried that the Iwagakure Village will be plotted against by the old foxes in other villages.
Besides, Huang Tu also knew his own problems and had never expressed his intention to inherit the position of Tsuchikage. If he was allowed to become Tsuchikage, it would only be after he died in battle and there was really no other candidate, so he was forced to take the position.
As for the young group of Iwagakure that caught his eye, they were almost wiped out by Konoha's Yellow Flash and Orochimaru in the Third Ninja World War, and failed to grow to their peak.
So Ohnoki is now hoping to pick out two talented ones from the new generation, keep them by his side, and train and teach them carefully.
"They're going to hire Iwagakure?"
Huang Tu took the reply letter from the table, looked at it, scratched his head, and frowned, because he found that he couldn't understand the reply letter.
Hire Rock Ninja?
A big ninja village hires ninjas from another big ninja village?
Instead of giving the missions and money to the ninjas within the village, they use them to hire ninjas from other villages?
Are Konoha and Sand Ninja so short of manpower?
It's been so long since the Third Ninja World War, by all means, a new group of Genin have been trained, right?
It’s not that Huangtu can’t figure it out, it’s just that this kind of thing has never happened since the establishment of the ninja village!
At most, two ninja villages would jointly undertake a joint mission. One big ninja village hiring another big ninja village was something Huang Tu couldn't understand.
Especially since the mercenary mission was initiated by Konoha and the Sand Village!
Is it a trap?
Huang Tu thought subconsciously. But as long as the money is enough, the tasks are listed, and as long as the ninja accepts them without finding any abnormality, he will naturally try his best to complete them.
This is a credibility issue for the ninja village.
Aren't they afraid that their reputation will take a hit?
This was the second thought that came to Huang Tu’s mind.
In any case, this kind of behavior will make people think about it.
A big ninja village needs to issue tasks to another big ninja village. Is it because they are not strong enough?
After the war, the fact that the Daimyo of the Wind Country intentionally or unintentionally allocated a lot of tasks to Konoha made the Sand Village feel uncomfortable, and other ninja villages in the ninja world secretly laughed at it.
After all, even the daimyo and nobles of their own country do not trust the ninja village under their command, so what future does the Sand Village have?
Although it didn't take long for the two countries to inexplicably join hands from top to bottom and become a community of interests, and the Sand Village regained the favor and funding of the Daimyo of the Wind Country, it did not mean that the blows and hardships that the Sand Village had suffered before disappeared and would not be remembered.
What's even more ridiculous is that the reply letter mentioned that a large number of ninjas who are good at earth escape techniques are required, and the stronger the earth escape techniques, the better.
When it comes to the ninja village with the most earth-type chakra attributes, it is undoubtedly the Iwagakure Village.
Among the five major ninja villages, only the so-called Fire Country, Konoha, has relatively diverse chakra attributes and ninjutsu.
"Do we need to participate?" Huang Tu asked subconsciously as he looked at his father who had recovered from the pain.
"Why not join?" Ohnoki glared at him and slammed the table. "It's obvious that this is forming cliques!
It's rare for Konoha to show such a cooperative attitude! Whether it's the first generation Hokage, the second generation, or the third generation, they have never put down their airs.
The fourth Hokage, Orochimaru, is a Hokage who has a completely different style of behavior from his teacher. I thought that with his personality, Konoha would become more belligerent and extreme. "
"Then what about the Raikage?" Huang Tu was a little troubled. The Hidden Cloud Village had not given up on winning over the Iwagakure.
"Of course we'll side with whoever offers more benefits!" Ohnoki said calmly, "Compared to the reply from Konoha and Sand Ninja, the Cloud Ninja is obviously much more arrogant. It's obvious that they are making empty promises to drag us down."
"Then should we drive away the envoys from the Kingdom of Thunder?" Huang Tu asked.
"No, the delegation and the Cloud Ninja can be used as our bargaining chips to gain more benefits from Konoha and the Sand Ninja! It is obvious that Konoha is taking a new path. Judging from the development of the Sand Ninja, it will be beneficial to the future of the ninja village, at least in the short term.
Now that we have this opportunity, we need to join in and experience it for ourselves." Ohnoki shook his head and replied without hesitation.
Since the establishment of the ninja village system, all ninja villages have mostly followed the example of Konoha, changing Konoha's things and making them their own.
From the Anbu to the Ninja School, etc., after Konoha's experiments were useful, other ninja villages directly copied them. Every generation of Hokage came to power with a set of new things of his own.
At present, what Konoha and Sand Ninja are doing together is, in Ohnoki's view, the new thing of the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru. With the previous experience and the benefits to be gained, he certainly wants to join in and experience it.
In the past, Konoha didn't allow people to play, and all ninja villages were in competition mode, but now Konoha has changed its attitude and adopted a new way of playing, so of course we have to give it a try.
