Naruto: The Progenitor of Demons Starting from Kirigakure

Chapter 122 He was defeated.

The mountain where Jieluo is located originally had no name. However, after Jieluo built a conspicuous statue of Yama here, the villagers started calling it Yama Peak.

The interior of Mount Enma had long been hollowed out by the engineering skills of the ninjas. The densely connected cavities contained facilities with various functions. Even the underground was being dug and expanded. Due to their outstanding construction capabilities, the entire engineering team, including the ninjas and craftsmen, was incorporated into Yura and nominally placed under the Engineering Construction Branch of the Seventh Division.

This team will play many more roles in the future.

After Mito moved into Kirigakure, with the completion of the first phase of construction, Yura entrusted Mito's strategic support team with the task of setting up barriers and sealing techniques to ensure site security. At the same time, Yura also began to learn barrier and sealing techniques from Mito.

Seeing how effective the barrier set up by Mito was, Byakuren began urging Mito to set up a large-scale defensive barrier in the village.

Small defensive barriers are manageable, but large ones cannot withstand attacks. A typical example is the Four Red Yang Formation, which requires four Kage-level experts to set up at the four corners. If the quality is insufficient, the number of setters can be used to make up for it. Once the chakra level is reached and the formation is activated, the setters cannot move their positions, making it unsuitable as a conventional defensive measure.

To serve as a conventional defense measure, it must possess a battery-like facility capable of storing a large amount of chakra.

Yukihime's special ice crystals created by her ice-escape technique can fulfill this role, but the technology still needs time to develop.

Therefore, the large-scale barrier set up by Mito was based on the chakra of the scouts and registered the chakra of the village members in order to guard against and screen unregistered intruders. At the same time, barriers were also set up in various parts of the village to block the senses of the ninjas.

After the New Year, both Mito and Yura were extremely busy.

Setting up a large-scale barrier is no easy task, and according to Mito's estimate, the construction period will be about three years.

In other parts of the village, things were developing as usual. The easiest job was the Third Division Shadow Guard. They simply gathered elites from the village to form a guard team, and that was it. Their daily work consisted of shift duty, protecting the safety of the Water Shadow Fortress, 24 hours a day, in three shifts.

It was common to see Hong Shicao's mountain-like figure blocking the passageways inside the fortress, clutching an excessively large spiked club in his arms, sleeping soundly with his head down.

Despite her human appearance, this large, round orca has an exceptionally honest and simple personality; she is quiet, peaceful, and enjoys eating and sleeping.

The entire Shadow Guard consists of over two hundred members, with five chief officers and one vice-captain. Most members are from the Hoshigaki and Akagi clans, with some village ninja mixed in.

In contrast, Mito's strategic support team expanded extremely rapidly. In addition to the barrier team of more than 300 members from the Uzumaki clan, it absorbed a large number of village ninjas in a short period of time, expanding to a massive scale of over a thousand people, and it continues to expand.

Compared to other squads, the Second Squad has a legitimate reason to recruit a large number of people. Its training content is divided into short-term and long-term programs. The short-term program is a six-month program, and the long-term program is a three-year program. If one wants to stay in the squad and become a true core instructor, one needs to pass an assessment. Unlike the basic training at the Ninja Academy, Mito has established a specialized and in-depth large-class system to provide unified ninja-style professional education for the large number of miscellaneous ninjas recruited into Kirigakure.

In Konoha, the village did not make good use of the ragtag ninjas and minor ninja clans who entered the village. They were ignored and left to fend for themselves like weeds.

Each time Mito wielded his twin swords Hiramekarei in the training ground, calmly pointing out mistakes such as crooked sword tendons, weak backhands, and messy footwork, the name of the blood-haired monster grew increasingly famous in Kirigakure.

Most of the regular chunin and genin are concentrated in the second division, while the elite chunin and jonin are relatively few in number and are mostly concentrated in the sixth division of Gengetsu, a combat unit.

The entire combat force was driven by Bai Lian to the deep mountains outside the village, where they had their own base. Every day, they fought noisily, exchanging skills and growing together. Due to the difference in strength, Huan Yue couldn't experience the joy of fighting or growth at all, which annoyed her. She had to keep an eye on these warmongers, especially those surnamed Zhu Qu, which annoyed her day by day.

The main members of the combat force are the warlike Hozuki clan and the warlike Taketori clan. The two sides are practically inseparable. One has a secret technique called Water Transformation, making it difficult to kill, while the other is simply tough and durable. As time goes by, the bond between the two sides grows stronger and purer.

Hozuki Gengetsu kept one eye open and the other closed, focusing intently on his training.

This time, he won't easily leave seclusion unless there's progress. With the cards he currently holds, it will be very difficult for him to defeat Oni-hime in the future.

In the First Division's Covert Mobile Squadron, Saizo could be said to have completely quieted down, living a secluded life. With the completion of the First Division's construction, the entire squadron continued to perform its duties as usual, keeping an eye on the movements and intelligence of the ninja world and hunting down ninjas. As the intelligence chief, he had plenty of time to train.

Meanwhile, in the Fifth Division, the security patrol team, Yukihime was faced with a barrage of cases.

With the campaign against the ninja clans halted and the focus shifted to eradicating the remaining forces across the entire Land of Water, Yukihime soon discovered that, with Byakuren's gesture, the patrol area of ​​her security force had expanded to the entire Land of Water. It would take three days to patrol around the entire Land of Water.

When he learned of this, Jieluo couldn't help but laugh. Due to the local customs of the Land of Water, not only ninjas but also islanders often fought each other for various reasons. Under the Daimyo's instructions, Kirigakure took over all the military responsibilities of the Land of Water. Kirigakure, which was paid to do things, had to take care of this matter.

Originally, this matter was later brought to the attention of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, who had to personally lead a patrol of the entire island. During this time, he accidentally encountered Itachi, who was fighting seven opponents at once, and was severely injured and fell into a coma by Amaterasu. If he had stayed in Kirigakure, things might have turned out differently.

Patrolling is a tough job for the security team. When there's nothing to do, they're on the go as soon as they open their eyes. When something happens, it's a major battle.

Yukihime's life was quite difficult, but compared to the numerous cases, she preferred to lead patrols, with small patrols every three days and large patrols every seven days. She frequently fought pirates, fierce islanders, and remnants of the ninja clan at sea. It was under these circumstances that a sensational piece of news reached the village.

Yukihime was defeated by an unknown ninja at sea, and returned to the sea severely injured and unconscious.

Upon receiving the news, Jieluo conducted tests in Experiment Training Room No. 1.
