Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 18: A New Reward - Summon Kabuto Yakushi!

Xiuze's words truly silenced everyone.

But no one could offer any rebuttal; on the contrary, upon closer reflection, what terrified them was that what Xiuze said seemed to make perfect sense!

From a ninja's perspective, it seems completely different from the perspective of the village.

Ninjas only need to fight, but villages have many more things to consider.

After leaving Yugao to guard Yekura, who still looked unconvinced but had fallen into silence, Xiuzawa and Shisui went outside.

"Are you lying to her?"

After hesitating for a while, Shisui finally asked out of curiosity.

"No, I already said those were all just my guesses."

Xiuze shrugged and said it nonchalantly.

"But I think things are very likely to develop in this direction, and Sunagakure can't hold out for that long."

War isn't just about manpower; it's also about financial resources. I've heard that the Fourth Kazekage had to go out and mine for gold himself. Senior, do you know what that means?

"Does this mean the daimyo has cut financial support to Sunagakure?"

Shisui was, after all, a member of the Uchiha clan. Even if he was a little slow-witted, he still knew some things.

"That's right, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a predicament."

Xiuze nodded, looking at the earth bathed in silver moonlight, and turned to smile.

"The environment of the Land of Wind dictates that they need to purchase a large amount of supplies, which requires money; training ninjas also requires money; and war requires even more, so..."

"I'm afraid they will indeed do as you say, end the conflict on one side, and focus all their efforts on dealing with Iwagakure, so that the Third Tsuchikage won't dare to act recklessly!"

Shisui understood completely at this moment, but the way he looked at Xiuze also changed.

How did this guy come up with so many ideas?

He had been choked by Shuzawa when he was in Konoha before. Although he didn't take it to heart, he was genuinely uncomfortable at the time.

But now that I think about it, didn't Xiuzawa already understand the Hokage's thoughts back then, which others had misunderstood and even his family elders hadn't figured out?

"Xiuze-kun, where exactly did you train before?"

Thinking of this, Shisui felt admiration and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, but he soon seemed to realize something.

"Could it be that if it's inconvenient to say, Hidezawa-kun doesn't have to say it?"

"Then I won't say anything more."

Hidezawa nodded decisively. Shisui was a veteran member of the Anbu, and as an Uchiha, it was hard for him not to know certain things.

"Okay, so what should we do next?"

Shisui didn't dwell on it. Having joined the Dark Division, he knew there were some things he shouldn't ask or shouldn't ask, so he simply changed the subject.

"While your guess may be true, we don't have more evidence yet, so..."

"No rush. Ye Cang probably doesn't know much either. Just to be on the safe side, senior should try it himself."

Xiuze stroked his chin. Although Shisui was the nominal captain, the guy was somewhat unreliable.

But it's definitely unreliable!

Xiuze hoped that he would just give orders so that he could take the blame if something went wrong. As for the rest, Xiuze could handle it himself.

As for Yekura, Hidezawa already has an idea, although it is not yet mature, but she is still quite important.

"Senior, it would be best to keep Ye Cang alive for now; she might still be of greater use."

"Um."

Shisui nodded seriously, speaking with utmost earnestness.

"If things really go as you guessed, then she truly cannot die; she can bring peace!"

"."

Shuze pursed his lips. He now somewhat understood why Shisui had foolishly told Danzo the secret of the Kaleidoscope.

That kid's got a screw loose.

However, Xiuze didn't explain further; he casually waved his hand and walked outside.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior. I'll go out and take a look, and see if I can find any water sources."

"Thank you for your hard work, and please be careful."

Zhishui nodded. He now trusted Xiuze completely. After giving a brief instruction, he turned and walked into the house.

Meanwhile, Xiuze slowly wandered around this dilapidated village, which was likely slaughtered by Scorpion, and at the same time, he opened his own interface.

[Mission Completed: Obtain relevant useful information from the ninjas of Sunagakure and Kirigakure]

[Task evaluation: C]

"."

Looking at his own panel, Xiuze was also full of doubts. He had received the system notification before, but he hadn't paid attention to it.

When he finally looked at it now, the system gave him a big surprise?

It seems that he didn't gather that information; he just blurted it out under the guise of "guessing."

"This truly exemplifies the principle of 'It doesn't matter how you do it, as long as it's done.'"

Xiuze pursed his lips. His information was 100% accurate, so it seemed reasonable to consider this as 'completing the mission'.

The latest novel is first published here!

However, with this considered complete, he felt even more confident about his next plans.

If he succeeds, Lord Danzo will truly become famous throughout Sunagakure.

[Reward: 1 Free Points]

[Special reward awarded for causing uncontrollable impact]

[Experience and Reflections on the Scorching Release Technique]

"Experiences and insights from the Scorching Release technique?"

Xiuze frowned slightly, but after he learned more about it, he immediately understood what the reward was all about.

He indeed cannot obtain a bloodline limit, but bloodlines in the ninja world are divided into two categories: one is a very small number that are naturally fused into the bloodline.

For example, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, the Shikotsumyaku of the Kaguya clan, and the exaggerated physique of the Senju clan.

This is a genetically modified Otsutsuki, or rather, a product of fruit mutation.

Another type is the bloodline limit obtained through chakra fusion, which can be artificially manipulated.

Xiuze had long had this idea, after all, it was his only path, and he never expected to receive such a reward now.

This reward is Yekura's own insights and experiences when using Scorch Release, and these insights and experiences can help Hidezawa when he fuses with it!

"It really is a good thing."

Xiuze's eyes lit up. Having something like this could save him a lot of time and greatly improve the fusion efficiency!

After all, it's a successful case, and it's a "formulaic problem," so there's absolutely no problem using it directly.

"However, we need more help now."

Although he was excited, Xiuze also knew what he needed to do.

Composing himself, he took out a scroll and quickly entered some information into it.

He formed a hand seal, and soon the scroll disappeared from his sight, his gaze turning to the distance.

"Hurry up and come here, I'm waiting for you!"

Xiuze murmured something. He was using a technique he had unexpectedly obtained after completing a mission that involved killing an entire family.

As for the other person who used this technique, he is the future Dream Master, one of the behind-the-scenes bosses of the ninja world, a classic case of being redeemed, and the scourge who tricked Hidezawa in his childhood—

Kabuto the Pharmacist!

Although they had a grudge over some trivial matters, such as how "Ququ" had tricked Xiuzawa into joining the Root, Xiuzawa had been hitting him hard on the training ground for years.

But since they all came from orphanages and Kabuto felt some guilt, their relationship was relatively good.

Most importantly, Hidezawa knew Kabuto's potential, so he taught the technique to him.

Besides occasionally sharing information he learned about Yakushi Nonou in Konoha, it also helped them get closer.

Now, this technique seems to be able to play a greater role.
