Infiltration
"Ninja sir, when can I leave?"
The boy sat opposite him properly, and even though he was dressed in dirty clothes, he still gave off a sense of good upbringing.
"You came from the war zone?" Lin Ke asked.
"Y-yes," the boy replied, lowering his head.
Lin Ke pushed One Thousand Ryo across the table and said, "Tell me about the situation inside."
The boy held the money in his hand and slowly began to recount his experiences.
Because ninjas were too skilled at infiltration and deception, there wasn't enough mental energy to distinguish them on the battlefield, so a one-size-fits-all approach was adopted.
In prolonged battles, they would not hesitate to attack any non-allied personnel within their sight.
Not only ninjas from the Land of Rivers, ninjas from the Land of Rain, Sand Ninja Village ninjas, or Konoha Village ninjas, but also some rogue ninjas... Due to various missions, there were many ninjas active on the battlefield.
There were also many Ronin wandering around the war zone trying to gain advantages. They were even worse, not only killing but also toying with their victims. Death was commonplace there.
In short, even if the war were to stop in the future, the pain it caused would still be impossible to heal.
The peace of the great nations exists only through the sacrifice of the small nations...
Lin Ke suddenly remembered what Nagato said in the manga.
Although the applicable scenario was different, the principle was similar. To support a powerful ninja village, commissions were essential. Simply mastering a money-making channel (such as Quicksand Gold) would not be enough to support a large ninja village.
Ninjas were the soldiers of this world, and ninja villages were military organizations. The mission system, at lower levels, seemed relatively gentle, but how could dozens or hundreds of A-Rank Missions and S-Rank Missions only come from protecting dignitaries...
The specific content of an A-Rank Mission, the first item was [Requests from other countries to participate in the war], followed by protecting important figures and eliminating ninja forces.
Even a civil war would create an unknown amount of demand.
Demand was the value of the existence of ninja villages.
Therefore, what Danzo did, whether it was to provoke war or if there were other purposes behind it, was indeed the meaning of Konoha Village, or rather, all ninja villages being able to exist.
"You can leave now," Lin Ke didn't say anything. He just saw this world more clearly.
He was not an idealist like Jiraiya, who fantasized about finding peace, nor was he a realist like Nagato, who pinned his hopes on nuclear deterrence to bring about temporary peace.
Nor was he like Naruto, who blindly did things and could honestly say "I don't know" when asked about it.
He was a passerby.
During the conversation, the shadows had already dealt with the three Sound Ninja Village ninjas who had returned outside.
Lin Ke stood up, watched the boy's hurried departure, and began to use Genjutsu to interrogate the three one by one. The information obtained was similar, so he killed them. After burying the bodies underground using Earth Style: Subterranean Voyage Technique, he left silently.
...
"Clang~"
As the unconscious experimental subject was thrown into the cell and the door was locked, Yakushi Kabuto made a record in his notebook.
The Original Body transplantation experiment has made significant breakthroughs in the Northern Base. The experimental subjects who received the Cursed Seal earliest can survive the transplantation of the Original Body's flesh, proving that the Cursed Seal can balance the natural energy attracted by the Original Body's flesh.
However, after achieving balance, the power was also lost, and the problem found in Kimimaro could not be solved.
After a series of experiments, sacrificing a batch of experimental subjects, Orochimaru-sama discovered the key. The alien natural energy attracted inherited the effect of the Seal, and would constantly reject the control and operation of Chakra—
This is the reason why Shikotsumyaku is ineffective. Ninjas have long been accustomed to using Chakra. Bloodline Limit, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu are all based on Chakra. Even the power brought by the Cursed Seal is Sage Art Chakra.
Because Sage Mode requires an extremely large amount of Chakra, without a large amount of Chakra, it is impossible to withstand the erosion of natural energy, so the experimental subjects are basically ninjas.
Only ninjas with certain talents can be rewarded with the Cursed Seal.
That Chakra would hinder the use of natural energy is a ridiculous topic that no one has ever thought of.
Therefore, Orochimaru-sama proposed a new idea, which is to abandon the control of Chakra and perform Cursed Seal and Original Body flesh transplantation on ordinary people...
[After injecting inhibitors into the experimental subject control group that underwent Original Body flesh transplantation first,]
Yakushi Kabuto's pen paused, leaving a black spot on the notebook, then he closed the notebook and looked back at the uninvited guest who appeared in the corridor.
"Lin Ke-kun, long time no see."
He said, using the corner of his eye to look at the shadows that surrounded him.
To be able to control so many shadows at once, he has grown again. Orochimaru-sama's idea is correct...
Even Yakushi Kabuto, who has always been indifferent to everything, felt quite tricky (tricky: thorny/troublesome).
Described by Orochimaru as being at most on par with Kakashi, could he escape from Lin Ke, who had become much stronger? "So it's you. Is Orochimaru not here?"
Lin Ke stood at a distance, showing no intention of approaching, firmly protecting Maki in front of him, and asked in a calm tone.
Just kidding, his Genjutsu skills were only good for bullying ordinary soldiers. When facing opponents skilled in Genjutsu, he needed to keep his distance to prevent being controlled.
As he always said, if he could get someone else to do it, he would never risk his own life.
"Did you find us based on those experimental subjects who were deceived?" Yakushi Kabuto calmly adjusted his glasses. "I'm very sorry, Orochimaru-sama would never use deceptive means..."
"And I just happen to hate forcing people."
"Sorry to disappoint you."
As he spoke, he couldn't find any hope of escape. His strengths lay in his extremely outstanding Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Chakra control (hand seals). His Taijutsu, strength, and speed were slightly lacking, but his mastery of medical Ninjutsu compensated for much, and he also possessed a special physique.
But facing so many shadows, and in such a narrow environment...
"Sounds like you guys don't get along," Lin Ke said, as Uchiha Fugaku, with his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, emerged from the corridor opposite.
A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit. Before entering the base, he had prepared himself to encounter Orochimaru.
"Well..." Yakushi Kabuto raised his hands. Empty as he was, he didn't want to be killed.
"I know a lot of things. Lin Ke-kun, can you spare my life?"
He's getting stronger and stronger. Perhaps he might be able to kill Orochimaru-sama in the future...
Yakushi Kabuto thought, abandoning his attempt to continue refining Chakra.
He really had no choice. At such a close distance, facing the combined attack of two elite Jonin, and having to deal with dozens of shadows...
It was too much to ask of him.
