029 Magic and Blacksmithing (Part 1)(1/2)
Country of Fire, Battle Conference Room.
"There will be a combat conference to deal with the war."
With the solemn and formal voice of Xiaochun in the turn of sleep, the preparation meeting for the Kingdom of Fire officially kicked off.
Looking at the huge "fire" flag hanging on the wall of the conference room, and Sarutobi Hinata sitting under the flag, Shimura Danzo and Chuanyu Koharu rolled his eyes helplessly. He was naturally free and easy, and he was born with dislike these serious and restrained meetings. If Sarutobi Hinata had not been forced to attend, he would have been afraid that he would still be drinking and having fun with Toad Manta in Miki Mountain.
"Let's start with the most basic things." Sarutobi Hinazo said after pondering for a moment, "Ninju, how is the food preparation?"
"The ninja tools are still a little different from the goals we set, but the gap is not big, so we will definitely catch up before the war." The ninja who was in charge of counting the ninja tools responded loudly.
The high-level Konoha showed satisfaction on his face, but Sarutobi Hinata did not relax at all because of this, and then asked, "Where is the food?"
The ninja, who was in charge of food statistics, stood up and hesitated with a hint of dismay: "Food is still being prepared. Because the conflicts on the border have intensified recently, grain merchants have begun to accumulate food. Not only has the amount of food sold on the market decreased, but the prices have also increased accordingly."
There was a noise in the high-level officials in the venue.
"What a joke? Those unscrupulous merchants dared to store grain during the war preparation period?"
"Does those people still have countries and villages in their minds? Do they have the right to make money?"
"Sir Naruto, it's time to teach this business a lesson! If they continue to stock up on food and raise the price of food, they are afraid that ordinary people will be forced to starve to death by them."
Bang!
Danzo stood up and slapped the table with a thump. The huge slap in the conference room sounded particularly harsh.
"quiet!"
Danzo glanced at the many Konoha senior officials present like a knife, and said coldly: "For food issues, try to dispatch them as much as possible, and first let the grain reserves reach the front line to half a year of consumption."
Mito Menyan nodded in agreement, "The profitable businessman... let's take the same method as ninja."
Zhuanyu Xiaochun, who was beside him, nodded.
At this point, Elder Konoha's consultant reached an agreement on this issue.
However, the real leader of Konoha, the third-generation Naruto Sarutobi Hinako, frowned at this time.
"Can you explain to me first, what does the same method as ninja... mean?"
Facing Sarutobi Hinazon with dissatisfaction, Danzo glanced at him and said, "In the name of combat readiness, he temporarily took over the major forging houses and ninja tools workshops in Konoha Ninja Village, and redistributed the personnel of the forging houses and workshops to maximize efficiency and improve the production efficiency of ninja tools and various weapons."
"Take over, redistribute..." Sarutobi Hitsuzaki said in a stern tone, "Why don't I know about this?"
"All matters were mentioned in the documents a few days ago." Danzo responded, "You have also reviewed and signed them."
Sarutobi Hiruzen began to recall the documents he had reviewed a few days ago, but he had carefully read all the documents on the table, and there was no such thing as Danzo just mentioned.
Could it be...
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly remembered that the morning after he reviewed the documents all night, Danzo had taken a document to sign. Out of trust in Danzo, he just took a brief look at the first two pages and signed his name.
Now it seems that there is something wrong with that document...
Did you get fooled by Danzang?
Looking at Danzo with a calm face, Sarutobi Hinasaruto forced himself to suppress his anger and the urge to question Danzo, took a few deep breaths, and tried to keep his tone calm. "So, which are the real-distributed forging houses and ninja tools?"
Zhuanyu Xiaochun opened the information in her hand and read: "There are five stores in total, Shiratsuki Ninjutsu, Yan Yeting Forging Room, Haidong Weapon Shop, Sato Forging Room and the bleeding-stop shop under her name."
After hearing the words "Haidong Weapon Shop", "Sato Forging Room" and "Hemostatic Sticking Workshop", Saruto Hinako's face changed a few times.
Sarutobi Hinasar was very clear about what these names mean.
From the interests involved in these names, he easily inferred what Danzo wanted to do.
"I understand." Sarutobi Hiruzen responded coldly, without saying anything more.
"Then we will continue to discuss the next issue, the issues of ninja formation and allocation that we will discuss next..."
Jirai, who was sleepy and wandering around the world, didn't know when he came back to Kamirai. He looked at Sarutobi Hinazun and Danzo with his expressions entertaining.
"I wonder what expression will be when the mourning master learns the news?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bang!
The long black stick hit the body without mercy, and a bright red stick mark appeared on the body of the monk. The deep-fried stick beat him without mercy. Even though the monk was beaten, he showed a grinning expression.
"Don't move!"
Shenzuo looked at the mourning assistant and scolded dissatisfiedly, "The first step in the practice of immortal arts is to stay still. Only by staying still can you feel the omnipresent natural energy. If you move like this for a few minutes, you will never be able to feel the natural energy in your life!"
"I understand what you said..." Sanzui's expression was depressed, "But I don't know why, as long as I sit still and feel the natural energy you mentioned, I will feel itchy all over my body in less than two minutes and I can't reach the state of stillness at all."
Shenzao frowned, "That must be because you didn't calm down! Xiao Jiraiya never had any such situation when she was practicing immortal arts."
Seeing the sad helper's expression, he sighed deeply and induced: "The practice of immortal arts is a gradual process, and there is no shortcut. Calm down and feel the natural energy well."
Sanzuo nodded helplessly, closed his eyes, and continued to feel the "natural energy" that Shenzuo said. However, in less than two minutes, he felt the itchy feeling of his whole body that had appeared before.
"What exactly is this natural energy?"
Sanzuo endured the itchy feeling of his body and thought about the problem of natural energy in distress. If he could not integrate into nature, felt the natural energy and used the natural energy, he would naturally be unable to use immortal arts.
The monk was determined to seek answers from Toad Xue who practiced immortal arts with him, but Toad Xue was extremely smooth when absorbing natural energy, and there was no situation like himself.
"It's really troublesome. I'd better explain to Shenzuo. Actually, I don't really want to practice immortal arts..."
The mourning aid opened his eyes and was about to speak and explain deeply, he suddenly became stunned.
The world in his sight had completely changed, and the originally colorful world suddenly had some strange green lines.
At this time, he could clearly see the evenly distributed green lines in the air, and the green lines were slowly gathering towards Toad Snow - and Shenzuo was guiding Toad Snow how to absorb natural energy and use immortal arts.
"Is this the 'Eye of Truth' that Ye Xian mentioned to me?" Sanzuru frowned and looked at the strange lines in the air, "These green lines should be natural energy?"
Sanzuo stretched out his hand curiously to touch the green energy lines in the air, but those lines seemed to be spiritual, and naturally avoided Sanzuo's hands.
Seeing that he could not touch the natural energy, the mourning helper also gave up this idea, sat up straight, and prepared to continue the "unmoving" practice that had just been interrupted - with the help of the "Eye of Truth", he can now see the natural energy, so it should be very easy to absorb the natural energy!
Five minutes later...
Ten minutes later...
Half an hour later...
"Depend on!"
The mourning assistant fell to the ground with a look of depression.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with my practice?" Shenzuo, who closed his eyes and rested, opened his eyes to look at the mourning assistant, and asked in a concerned tone.
"I finally understand what a friend of mine said to me before." The tone of the monk sighed, "I don't know, but I don't..."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, what's wrong with what you said inexplicably. Don't talk nonsense anymore, just tell me what's wrong."
"Is this the super intuition of the toad?" The mourning master looked at him, "Simply put, I am not suitable for practicing immortal arts."
He was furious, "Didn't I just tell you that the practice of immortal arts cannot be accomplished overnight, there is no shortcut..."
"You misunderstood what I mean." Sansuke sighed, stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air a few times, then shook his hand at Shen, as if he had thrown something out.
"I can't explain it clearly, you can feel it yourself."
Shenzao was angry and wanted to continue scolding the helpless, but the next moment, the whole clam was stunned.
The huge energy of immortal arts suddenly gathered beside it, turning towards it like a vortex.
"The vortex of natural energy?" Shenzai was shocked.
The seemingly casual move of the monk, actually lifted up all the natural energy around it, and stirred the natural energy into a whirlpool!
"What's going on?"
Shenzao looked at the mourning assistant unconsciously with a hint of awe. He easily controlled the natural energy in the atmosphere with every move. Even an immortal like him could not do it. How did this kid in front of him do it?
He just started practicing immortal arts! Is his talent so outrageous? In just a few hours, he surpassed himself who had practiced immortal arts for decades?
"The younger generation is terrifying, and the younger generation is terrifying..."
Fukusato patted Sansuke's shoulder with emotion, "Your talent is too high, I have nothing to teach you."
The mourning master didn't know the series of inexplicable thoughts in Shenzuo's mind. He said to himself: "Didn't I tell you before? As long as I sit down and practice "still" practice, I feel itchy all over my body? I now understand what's going on. The reason for itching is because after I enter the "still" state, I forcefully want to inhale natural energy into my body. My body feels like a special constitution that is immune to natural energy."
Shen Zuo came to his senses at this time, "Clam? Special physique?"
"Yes, it should be a special physique that is immune to the energy of immortal arts." Sanzu explained, "I can feel natural energy and can easily control natural energy, but I just can't convert natural energy into my own energy - after all, natural energy cannot enter my body, and the immortal arts chakra needed to perform immortal arts cannot be produced."
"Oh oh oh...so." Shenzuo wiped the sweat that did not exist on his head, and after thinking for a while, he said, "If I usually recommend you to go to the master to discuss it, but the master has been in poor health recently and has not easily seen guests. But I still hope you can continue to practice immortal arts."
"Even if I can't absorb natural energy into my body?" Sanzui asked boredly, grabbing the natural energy in the air.
Shen Zuo nodded, and at this time he was blessed to his heart and seemed to have come up with a good idea.
"It's not impossible not to practice immortal arts, but in exchange, can you ask for your help?"
"help?"
"Yes, help." Shen Zuo smiled and looked at Toad Xue who was still working hard to practice, "Help gather natural energy in the air and help Toad Xue complete the practice of immortal arts."
"The child Toad Xue is not talented. If he can speed up the absorption of natural energy, his practice will be twice the result with half the effort."
