Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 113 Intelligence and the Mission to be Performed

Uchiha Touya pushed open the door and entered Pakura's house. As the Kazekage of Sunagakure, Pakura's house was quite large.

However, at this moment, besides Yekura, there was another short-haired beauty with a gloomy expression in the room, namely Karyura.

Upon hearing the door open, Garu, who was already somewhat restless, suddenly stood up and looked up at Uchiha Tou, who had opened the door.

Upon seeing Uchiha Tou, Garu-ra reacted as if he had been burned, immediately turning his gaze away, his cheeks instantly turning bright red.

"Feiyu, you're back."

The voice, filled with surprise and warmth, came from Ye Cang, who was sitting on the sofa with a cheerful smile. At that moment, she was holding a little girl who was a little over a year old in one arm, and reaching out with the other hand to pull Jia Liuluo.

"This is Sister Galuro. You should have met her before. What do you think? Are you satisfied?"

Before Uchiha Touyu could speak, Garura shuddered and suddenly shook off Pakura's arm.

"Lord Kazekage... I've thought about it... but I think it's better to forget it... I simply cannot accept improving my strength in this way..."

Ye Cang's smile gradually faded, and her somewhat cold expression made Jia Liuluo tremble slightly. Then she spoke softly:

"Is that so? I see... Well, that's fine then. But since you're unwilling, then in order to improve the combat strength of the village's higher-ups, we'll have to restart the Jinchuriki program."

The moment the words "Jinchuriki Plan" were uttered, Garura's face turned deathly pale. She spoke with a look of utter despair:

"No... Temari is still too young..."

"It's precisely because she's young that she's suitable. Jinchuriki must be trained from childhood so that they can truly adapt to the chakra of the Tailed Beasts when they reach adulthood. Although Temari's chances of success are slim, she is the most suitable candidate."

"Didn't Rasa have this same thought back then?"

Yekura's expression remained smiling, but Karyura instantly broke down, bowing deeply and saying:

"No, let Temari go... I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do anything, I'll do anything!"

Karura knew very well that if the other party was determined to make his daughter a Jinchuriki, then he would have no way to stop them in the face of the will of all the Sand Village ninja.

I'm sorry, Luo Sha, this is the only way I can do this for my daughter...

"Heh, wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner?"

Ye Cang released Temari's hand, slowly walked closer to Karura, put his arm around her shoulder, then looked up at Uchiha Touyu with a smug look in his eyes.

"Let's go... Don't worry, it'll only take a few days... It'll be over soon."

After saying that, Yecang pulled Garura along and walked into the room with Uchiha Tou.

……

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Karu-ra, who had initially thought he could just endure it, completely succumbed in just seven or eight days, becoming a vessel that was completely obedient to Uchiha Tou-yu.

Although Garu-ra already had a child, and didn't receive the benefit of their first dual cultivation session, Uchiha Tou-yu's talent and aptitude still allowed him to make some progress.

However, the one who showed the most progress was actually Garura. As a ninja whose strength had just entered the Kage level, her dual training with a strong person like Uchiha Tou directly increased her chakra by nearly 50%.

In particular, Uchiha Touya herself also possessed multiple Magnet Release bloodline limits, and with the mutual support of their origins, the power of her Magnet Release also increased significantly.

In the Kazekage's office, Uchiha Tou sat on the sofa, legs crossed, reading the intelligence report in his hand.

Beside him, Garuda stared intently at Uchiha Touyu, holding a plate of cut fruit and feeding it to his mouth with a toothpick.

After taking a bite of fruit, Uchiha Touyu's face showed a thoughtful expression as he put the information back on the table.

Galuro glanced at the intelligence report with some curiosity. The report listed names such as the Land of Snow, Loulan, the Land of Demons, and the Land of Bears.

These seem to be some obscure small countries in the ninja world. Why would we need to inquire about this information?

Although he had some doubts, Galio didn't ask a single question. He simply used a toothpick to pick up another piece of fruit and handed it over.

In fact, Garu-ra was unaware that these place names were actually locations where Naruto movies took place. Through the Sand Village's intelligence network, Uchiha Tou-yu was also certain that some movie content did exist in this world, some of which did not.

For example, the Loulan Dragon Vein, which Uchiha Tomo was most concerned about, simply doesn't exist.

There is indeed a place called Loulan in the Land of Wind, but it is not a country, but a city belonging to the Land of Wind. There is no dragon vein there, it is just a large oasis.

The Land of Demons also exists, and there are priestesses with special abilities, but there are no demons or monsters at all.

The Land of Snow is indeed a real country, and the country's daimyo are indeed all named Kazeka. The Snow Village and the special Ice Release techniques all exist, making it seem almost identical to the movie version. However, it's still early, and whether the movie version's story will actually happen remains to be seen.

Furthermore, there has never been a Sky Village in the ninja world, nor a fortress that can fly in the air. Also, although the ninja world is extremely vast and far more than just the Five Great Nations, there are no other continents overseas, so the storyline of Grell's Stone definitely doesn't exist there.

Only the Star Ninja Village in the Land of Bears truly exists, including the Star Ninja Village's secret treasure, the star that allows one to cultivate the Peacock Technique.

The Peacock Technique is a highly sophisticated secret art, but because those who practice it rarely live long, the Star Village is not particularly famous in the ninja world.

The Sand Village also had information about the Peacock Technique and even coveted this secret technique. However, after learning about the flaws in the Peacock Technique, they did not take action against the Star Village.

Or rather, it is precisely because of this flaw that the small ninja village of Hoshigakure was able to preserve the Peacock Technique.

Uchiha Touya had no interest in the Peacock Technique, but was instead very interested in the so-called star. That star possessed a strange radioactive energy that could directly alter the nature of chakra within the human body, and was definitely not an ordinary thing.

If the star belongs to the chakra system, then it is very likely related to the Otsutsuki or the God Tree. If the star has nothing to do with the chakra system, then its value is even higher, because it represents a completely new kind of energy.

After taking a bite of the fruit offered to him, Uchiha Touya pulled out the intelligence report about Hoshigakure and handed it to Garuru.

"Take a few ninjas and bring Xing back for me."

Upon hearing the mission, Galio's eyes narrowed, and he quickly regained his composure. He took the intelligence report, glanced at it, and then nodded.

"No problem. It's just a mere Star Ninja Village. I believe they don't have the courage to resist us."

Karura is now a true Kage-level ninja. Due to her dual cultivation, she's not considered the weakest among Kage-level ninjas; she's even slightly stronger than her deceased husband, the Fourth Kazekage. Ordinary small ninja villages would indeed find her difficult to resist, not to mention she has the Sand Village backing her.

The most troublesome aspect of the Peacock Technique is that it also possesses a certain ability to fly. However, Magnet Release is also a bloodline limit that allows flight. Even the ninjas from the Star Village would not be able to escape from Garura if they wanted to.

As for Uchiha Touyu himself... he still had to help Sunagakure with one last thing—to deal with the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

In the system of the Five Great Nations and the Five Great Ninja Villages, the Daimyo of the nation and the Kage of the ninja village are often referred to as the Twin Jewels. The Daimyo is in charge of finance and economy and the governance and rule of ordinary people, while the Kage of the ninja village is in charge of war and extreme violence.

Generally speaking, the ninja village that controls violence has the upper hand. For example, in the Land of Fire, even the 12 guardian ninja under the daimyo have a conflict over the two jewels.

It should be understood that, in theory, the Guardian Ninja should be absolutely loyal to the Daimyo. This kind of dispute is similar to the Hokage's Shadow Guard, who are considering whether they should be loyal to the Hokage or the Daimyo. As long as they have this idea, it proves that the Daimyo has completely lost the upper hand.

In fact, three of the five great nations' daimyo are essentially mascots. The one from the Land of Fire goes without saying, and Onoki from the Land of Earth was a hardliner who ruled Iwagakure for many years. The Land of Earth's daimyo had virtually no ability to interfere with Iwagakure. The worst off was the Land of Water's daimyo, whose chaotic Kirigakure had produced many rogue ninja who sacrificed themselves to kill daimyo.

The remaining Daimyo and Raikage of the Land of Lightning have always had a harmonious relationship, working together seamlessly as if they were one entity, without any distinction of superiority or inferiority. Therefore, the only ninja village suppressed by the Daimyo is the Sand Village.

Now, Uchiha Touyu is preparing to solve this problem. His first thought is naturally to use genjutsu to control the daimyo. If that doesn't solve the problem, he can also deal with the person who created it.

The fact that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind could rise to prominence among the Daimyo and was the only national leader to suppress the ninja villages was certainly not due to the ninjas' intimidation of the Daimyo.

Ordinary genin and chunin might still have some respect for the daimyo due to their education, but the ninja world in the Land of the Sun in reality is indeed clearly divided into classes.

However, let's not forget that in addition to these strict class systems, the traditional arts of the Land of the Sun also include the subjugation of superiors.

The power of a ninja lies with himself. Even the Kage of his own village often rebel. A large proportion of the Kage of each village die because they are killed by ninjas from their own village who rebel. Not to mention the Daimyo of a country.

Without their own guardian ninja, daimyo of various countries would have no confidence when facing ninja. Even an ordinary genin could have a high chance of assassinating a daimyo by relying on the Three Body Technique.

The only explanation for why the Daimyo of the Land of Wind dared to continuously cut the Sand Village's funding without being killed by the enraged Sand Village is that he possessed power that made the Sand Village wary.

After reading the information about Sunagakure, Uchiha Touyu was certain of this: the Daimyo of the Land of Wind was not a fool. His insistence on cutting Sunagakure's mission funding was simply because he had better options compared to Sunagakure.

The Land of Wind boasts the largest land area among the five great nations, but its boundless Gobi Desert has disrupted transportation and fostered numerous separatist forces.

Even after the establishment of the Sand Village, there were still a large number of small ninja strongholds within the Land of Wind. It can be said that the number of wandering ninjas within the Land of Wind was almost the highest in the ninja world.

In addition, just as the Land of Fire has the Fire Temple, where chakra users are not ninjas but monks, the Land of Wind also has its own unique temples and powerful monks.

Even the tailed beast Shukaku was captured by these monks from the Land of Wind. The fact that these monks possessed the power to capture tailed beasts speaks volumes about their strength.

Compared to the Sand Village, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind clearly trusted these monks of the Land of Wind more and invested more funds in them, as well as in recruiting wandering ninjas.

It was precisely because of these two trump cards that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind dared to stand up straight and speak loudly to the Sand Village.

Otherwise, if there is a legitimate reason, the ninjas might not mind if the funding for the ninja village was slightly reduced. But to cut the funding for the ninja village on a large scale, even to the point of affecting the normal operation of the ninja village, do you really think that the Sand Village has never thought of using a genjutsu on him, or even changing the daimyo?

It's just that the Sand Ninja can't do it; the monks of the Land of Wind have a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm than ordinary ninjas, and they can see through genjutsu at a glance.

Furthermore, these monks' sealing techniques were far superior to those of the Sand Ninja. Shukaku was originally sealed by these monks, and back then Shukaku never caused any trouble.

Unless the Sand Village launches a direct and open rebellion, it is impossible to assassinate or control the Daimyo of the Land of Wind through ninja means. Even if they do launch a rebellion, the Sand Village will suffer heavy losses even if they win.

This also meant that Sunagakure could only endure the subtle but ruthless attacks from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. One reason why Sunagakure was always the first village to initiate war in every Shinobi World War was the attitude of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

However, Uchiha Touyu was very confident in himself. His genjutsu was unmatched by the ninjas of Sunagakure. His Mangekyou Sharingan-level genjutsu was something even those monks would have a hard time seeing through.

Not to mention...

"It's been a while since I've had any Sand Ninja. Perfect timing to replenish my sacrificial black energy. The temples in the Land of Wind have over 2000 monks who have trained in chakra. Furthermore, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has hired a large number of wandering ninjas and is even trying to train a ninja army... Looks like I'm going to have a big harvest this time!"

When Uchiha Touyu saw the idea of ​​a ninja army personally controlled by the daimyo, he admired the daimyo quite a bit. Unfortunately, it's like crossing a mountain when you're in a different field. Ninjas are elite special forces, and forcibly training an army to be ninjas is actually a thankless task.

But for Uchiha Tou, these armies with chakra were undoubtedly a great temptation.
