Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

Even after his size reaches a certain level, who would still accept his surrender? Yu Zhen, you have caused me so much trouble.

"If we do that, we'll be kidnapped, because sooner or later our strength won't be able to keep up with the pace of expansion. Will we be able to retreat calmly then? No way, we'll completely collapse."

What you said makes so much sense, but this is the way the world is. If you advance, you may perish, but if you don’t advance, you will definitely perish.

Yuzhen nodded, he could understand the Daimyo's concerns.

"Indeed, your concerns are not without reason. So, I have an idea... Can we find a force that can form a strong relationship with us during our expansion? It doesn't have to be an alliance or a quasi-alliance, as long as we can ensure mutual restraint and non-aggression."

"If this happens, our sphere of control will expand, but we will be facing enemies on only one side, rather than on all sides. The wars we face won't disappear, but we won't be running around in circles, and the future will be more controllable."

By changing from multi-line combat to single-line combat, with the front line on one side and a relatively stable rear on the other, Chuanyuan Country's war potential will be greatly increased, and it can even continue to fight to support the war.

"good idea."

Shimizu Kiyou clapped his hands, thinking that Yu Zhen's strategy was very good.

"Having an idea alone is meaningless. The problem lies in how to turn it into reality... Is there such a force willing to cooperate with us?"

Qingshui Jiyou fell into deep thought, then he suddenly pushed away the dishes on the table in front of him, wiped the water stains on the table with his sleeves, then took out a map from under the table and unfolded it flat.

He stared at the map for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead and pointed to a certain location on the map and said, "What do you think of this force?"

Seeing that Daimyo's finger seemed to have landed in the desert, Yuzhen asked hesitantly, "Where is this?"

"The Gujing clan."

"Ancient well?"

“The Gujing clan is a very powerful ninja clan, at least much stronger than us now, but their sphere of influence is mainly in the eastern part of the desert, and the enemy is deeper in the desert.

On the one hand, their main combat direction is in the west, and on the other hand, the desert is very barren, and they need the plain area east of the desert as a production base... After all, ninjas also need to eat, and only cacti can be grown in the desert.

Further east of this plain, there are some fragmented forces. If the fragmented forces go further east..."

Yuzhen's gaze followed Shimizu Kisuke's fingertips, and the answer was self-evident.

"Further east is our Chuanyuan Country."

The so-called plain area is what later became the Kingdom of Rivers. The Gujing clan squatted on the edge of the desert, fighting with the ninjas in the desert while using the fertile "Kawa Kingdom" as a logistics base... If this is the case, the Kawase Kingdom does have a basis for cooperation with them.

If the Firefly Organization wipes out the surrounding forces, it will be very beneficial to the Gujing Clan, because this will basically make their logistics base free from harassment.

The reason why such cooperation is feasible is that the basis of cooperation is not based on rationality and reason, but on geopolitical and geographical factors.

The plains area is not the strategic offensive direction of the Gujing clan, but it is very important to them; with the strength of the Firefly Organization, clearing out the scattered forces around them is already the limit. Apart from that, it has no ability to expand westward, let alone threaten the Gujing clan.

Yu Zhen rubbed his eyes, as if he had seen the "general situation of the world" clearly.

Since the war, heroes have emerged. The Senju in the east has spanned states and counties for a hundred years. The Uchiha in the north has hundreds of elite troops. No one can defeat them. It is truly impossible to compete with them.

Chuanyuan Country is a frontier country, but it has ancient wells outside and is able to defend against enemies inside. It has fertile fields for thousands of miles and is truly a land gifted by God.

If there is any change in the world, I will order a jonin to lead the firefly soldiers to attack Taki and Rain, and I will lead the elite troops out of the source of the river. In this way, the hegemony can be achieved...

Okay, Yuzhen is a little too divergent.

He stood up suddenly and said to Qingshui Jiyou, "Then we should first get in touch with the Gujing clan. By the way, who is their current clan leader?"

"Let me check. Our Lingdang City has had many trades with caravans there before, so I do have some rough information..."

As he spoke, Qingshui Jiyou took out a small notebook from his arms... From this we can see that although this person looks like he is lying flat, in fact he can't lie down at all.

"Oh, I think his name is Furui Reito."

Yu Zhen paused. The name seemed familiar. It sounded like someone who could accomplish great things.

"Okay, I'll find a way to contact this Furui Reito right away... I'll go there myself."

It would be best to obtain cooperation with the Gujing clan before clearing out the surrounding forces, so that the Yinghuo organization can be free from worries.

In a sense, this is a very formal "foreign affairs activity", so Yu Zhen can't sneak over to the Gujing clan by himself and give their clan leader a startled scene...even though that would be the safest thing to do.

After careful consideration, Yu Zhen decided to take a small team to conduct an official visit to the Gujing clan.

He originally planned to bring a Ino-Shika-Cho set. After all, the "set" not only looked neat, but also had stacking attributes. However, as the ninja with the longest detection distance in the organization, it would be better for Yamanaka Keiya to stay in Kikyo Castle to monitor the surrounding situation.

At this time, someone volunteered...

It was Lan who had just recovered his health.

Although his strengthening direction is inconsistent with that of Yamanaka Keiya, Lan is also a very powerful perception ninja.

Lan had a strong sense of subjective participation. After consulting Qimei's opinion, Yuzhen agreed to Lan's request.

In this way, the personnel of the diplomatic team were determined, led by Uzumaki, and the remaining members included Ran, Akimichi Keizuki and Nara Kenjiro.

…………

On the same day that the team carrying out an important diplomatic mission left Platycodon City, a sneaky figure was wandering around Platycodon City.

As long as you know his name, you will understand why this person appears here - this ninja is called Diyuan Yuri.

It is true that only a very, very small family possesses the secret art of Diyuan Yu, but this does not mean that Diyuan Yu Lu, who was once eliminated by Yu Zhen, is left alone.

Although the adult ninjas of this family are often scattered around the ninja world, doing odd jobs, Diyuan Yulu's long-term loss of contact still aroused certain suspicions.

So this Diyuan Yuli followed the previous activities of Diyuan Yulu and came to Platycodon City.

He acted very cautiously. After finding out that the ninja forces and political forces in Kikyo City had changed frequently over the past year, he realized that his missing clansman might be in danger.

The evidence is that on the way here, Diyuan Yuli heard that not long ago there was an anonymous monster ninja named "Scarecrow" who had caused trouble in a certain medium-sized ninja clan... The "Scarecrow" described in the news looked very much like the user of Diyuan Yu's secret technique.

Therefore, Di Yuanyuli suspected that not only was the tribe member killed, but even the secret technique was leaked.

Little did he know that not only had the secret art of Di Yuan Yu been leaked, but someone was even trying to "monetize" it.

Anyway, it's just something I picked up, so I don't feel bad about trading it.

After observing the area around Kikyo City for a day or two, Diyuan Yuli decided to set foot inside the city.

All I can say is that hesitation will lead to failure.

It would be suspicious if you were to wander around the city.

No matter how you look at it, it was an extremely correct decision for Yuzhen to keep Yamanaka Keiya in Kikyo Castle.

Chapter 109 Shang Haojia

At the main gate of Kikyo Castle, there are two ninjas acting as "security guards".

It should be said that they are real security guards, because the strength of these two people is equivalent to that of Genin... There are two extreme situations for ninjas of this level, either they can't protect anything, or they can protect everything.

Obviously, these two people are the first case.

They were previously affiliated ninjas outside the Akimichi clan of Lingdang Castle, so being responsible for security work here is a good use of their talents.

After all, everyone knows that security guards can only serve as a facade and may not be useful at critical moments.

So when Yuan Yuli entered Platycodon City from the main gate, he only had to undergo a simple registration and was then allowed to pass directly.

However, this does not mean that this person successfully carried out a swagger infiltration. The actual situation is just the opposite.

Di Yuan Yuli had previously inquired about the general situation of Platycodon City and thought of a reason to come here, so he wanted to appear as aboveboard as possible... I am here to import weapons and I am a guest here, what do I have to worry about?

After wandering around the city for a while, he immediately noticed some peculiarities, such as the fact that the ninjas here would actually accept missions issued by civilians. It seemed that a department had been specially set up for this purpose to undertake missions from the civilian population... To be honest, isn't this concept a bit ahead of its time?

How much funding can you get by taking on tasks from the public?

But perhaps it is precisely because of similar measures that the ordinary residents of this city actually get along very well with the ninja forces entrenched here, which is a rare phenomenon.

After all, no one can deny that ninjas and civilians are actually people from two different worlds.

Such strange things aroused Diyuan Yuli's curiosity, but just when he wanted to continue observing the situation here, he was suddenly found by two local ninjas.

Before entering the city, his abnormal behavior had been discovered. After entering Platycodon City, the Firefly Organization originally wanted to secretly observe this person's purpose, but they didn't expect that the other party would also come to visit.

In order to avoid exposing more information, the organization had no choice but to come to the door... In fact, when entering Kikyo City, Diyuan Yuli was already trapped.

The current Firefly organization is different from what it was a year ago.

A year ago, Yu Zhen had to try his best to deal with ninjas like Jiyuan Yuri, but what about now?

Jiyuan Yuri is still a very powerful and threatening ninja, but he is no longer someone who requires the organization's full strength to deal with.

Diyuan Yuli was stopped by Nara Hideyuki and Akimichi Shinyu. After the two invited him to the side of the road, Nara Hideyuki asked:

"My friend, are you here to fight or to buy goods?"

Before he knew it, Xiuzhi was standing in the same shadow as Diyuan Yuri, which was equivalent to hanging the butcher knife on the other's neck.

To be honest, the secret techniques of the Nara clan are very suitable for ambushing people. Under normal circumstances, no one would think that the shadow under their feet would become a fatal killing move... Letting the ninjas of the Nara clan fight on the front battlefield is really a waste of their talents.

Di Yuan Yuli narrowed his eyes slightly. For some reason, he felt a great threat from the ninja in front of him.

His intuition told him that this person was at least a ninja of the same level as himself, and his strength was even slightly superior to his.

This is a bit bad. The ninja entrenched here is not those country ninjas...Di Yuan Yuli feels like he has hit a wall.

But this is understandable. If the ninjas here were not very powerful, how did they achieve the unification of an entire area?

Di Yuan Yuli originally wanted to find trouble, but under the threat of a powerful ninja, he decided to temporarily change his job to become a small purchaser.

"I heard that this is a city controlled by the Fuma clan, so I wanted to come here to buy some practical ninja tools." Diyuan Yuli said in a hoarse voice.

Nara Hideyuki and Akimichi Shinyu looked at each other. He felt that this person's words were a bit too deliberate.

At the beginning, the Firefly Organization was indeed hiding in the shadow of the Fuma Clan, and nominally regarded itself as the Fuma Clan, but with its continuous development, especially after absorbing the Akimichi Clan, the organization could no longer hide.

The surrounding forces all know that the ninja force behind Kawagen Country is a ninja alliance called "Fireflying", which is information that is easy to obtain.

The visitor only mentioned the wind demon and not the firefly, which seemed a bit deliberate and a bit counterproductive.

"The Fengmo clan is indeed here. Please follow me and I will take you to the Fengmo clan's workshop."

Nara Hideyuki greeted the visitor normally, offering a friendly two-on-one service. Summer hadn't yet passed, and the sunlight was intense, so the group kept moving within the shadows cast by the buildings. This made sense, didn't it?

Diyuan Yuli followed Nara Hideyuki silently. At this time, he had already realized that he had been discovered by the other party a long time ago... Kikyojo's perception ability was very strong and sharp.

In other words, he cannot act rashly unless he can kill the enemy with one blow.

Di Yuan Yuli silently observed the back of Nara Hideyuki's neck. Nara Hideyuki seemed to be walking in front without noticing anything. However, no one noticed that the shadows around him seemed to be getting gloomier, as if they had life.

The journey seemed safe and sound, but it was actually thrilling. In short, the three of them soon arrived at the territory of the Fengmo clan.

Fuma Goro came out to receive Jiyuan Yuri.

Nara Hideyuki continued to stare at the other party, while Akimichi Shinyu silently retreated.

After looking at Feng Mo's ninja tools, Di Yuan Yuli seemed a little dissatisfied, so he tried to ask: "It's just ordinary. Is there any other weapon that is more valuable?"

Fuma Goro thought the other party was just a ninja who had heard some rumors. He looked at Nara Hideyuki and saw that he nodded slightly before saying:

"Yes, but you need to exchange it with items of equal value."

After the initial experimental phase, the organization no longer accepted cash for transactions related to the Curse of Yu's Secret Art, and only accepted barter.

"I am prepared."

"plz follow me."

The three of them entered the "VIP reception room" at the back. When the local Yu Li saw the flesh granulations, he almost popped his eyes out.

The secret technique had indeed leaked out.

Unexpectedly, Diyuan Yulu's ending was so tragic. Not only did he die, he was even made into a "petri dish" by the enemy.

After he read the booklet handed to him by Fuma Goro, he was already extremely convinced that the ninjas here had mastered the secret technique... not through training, but through transplantation.

To be honest, in this situation he couldn't even blame the dead Diyuan Yulu. The other party did not leak the secret technique, but the secret technique was stolen by the enemy in a special way.

He took a deep breath, took out two scrolls from his arms, and said:

"The Kuroki Hitomi clan's advanced medical ninjutsu and the Ishigawa clan's earth escape ninjutsu, are these two items worth enough?"

Fuma Goro took the scrolls and after examining them together with Nara Hideyuki, he immediately recognized the value of the two scrolls.

"Very fair, we can make a deal. If you want the transplant right away, please note..."

"No need. Since the deal has been reached, can I take this thing away directly?" Di Yuan Yuli asked.

"of course can."

Fuma Goro agreed without thinking. He thought that the other party just wanted to take the granulation back for research. It was nothing. There was no way they could figure it out.

Afterwards, Diyuan Yuri took Rouya away, and Nara Hideyuki did not continue to follow him, but Yamanaka Keiya kept an eye on him until he was far away from Kikyo Castle.
