Chapter 363: The Leaf Village, Waiting to Feast on the Blood of Others
Chapter 363: The Leaf Village, Waiting to Feast on the Blood of Others
The Leaf Village was waiting to feast on the blood of others.
If they remained neutral, they could easily take over the industry if the Heavenly Fortress lost, as it was considered part of the Leaf's sphere of influence.
Should the Daimyo's coalition suffer defeat, the Leaf Village could gain significant advantages by offering assistance or mediation.
So, why would the Leaf Village get involved in this situation?
While the upper echelons of the Leaf respected the nobility and the Daimyo, it didn't mean they would neglect the village's interests.
With over two thousand ninjas and several thousand regular troops, no one would expect the Daimyo of the Fire Country to lose against a 'small force' like the Heavenly Fortress. It would be seen as making a mountain out of a molehill.
However, the response from the Heavenly Fortress was far beyond anyone's expectations.
Dong Ping didn't seem to care about the coalition at all. He continued his daily operations as usual, without even holding a single war council, except for gathering his forces.
It was laughable to think he would take the coalition seriously.
Even without considering the time needed to assemble this hodgepodge coalition, the mere thousand-kilometer distance would require at least half their journey time for the coalition to reach the Heavenly Fortress.
They would be no match!
If the Daimyo were to deploy only his ninja forces, Dong Ping might have some concerns.
It wasn't a concern about losing, but rather the potential damage to the Heavenly Fortress.
After all, rebuilding the surrounding hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland, orchards, roads, canals, and buildings would be a massive hassle if they were destroyed.
Upon confirming that the Daimyo wouldn't send out his ninja forces alone but would instead form a coalition, Dong Ping felt like screaming.
The Daimyo was truly foolish!
Ninjas and regular troops were fundamentally different, yet he insisted on combining them.
If this strategy were effective, the Great Ninja Villages wouldn't have excluded regular people from participating in the Great Ninja War.
Regular troops, even without considering their combat capabilities, were utterly crushed by ninjas in terms of mobility.
Furthermore, with the enhancement of chakra, even a low-ranking ninja could effortlessly take down hundreds of regular soldiers using kunai.
If they employed techniques like the Shadow Clone Jutsu for surprise attacks and ambushes, becoming a one-man army would be a basic skill.
If Dong Ping were in command, he would never mix regular troops with ninja forces, even if he wanted them to participate.
But the Daimyo, in his eagerness to showcase his 'power,' insisted on combining them to demonstrate his might to the ninja world.
This was the reason for the current farce.
The Leaf Village had no intention of offering any reminders.
Doing so now would only infuriate the Daimyo, and there was no other possible outcome.
As for the other forces, they were eagerly awaiting the Daimyo's embarrassment and wouldn't dream of offering any advice.
The people around the Daimyo dared not speak up, and the outsiders were enjoying the spectacle, which led to this situation.
Reality was stranger than fiction.
Fiction required logic, but reality had no such constraints.
At this moment, Dong Ping was busy in the laboratory.
This place was the most mysterious part of the Heavenly Fortress.
One could only access this laboratory by flattening the mountain above and digging down hundreds of meters.
Today, something extraordinary was finally completed.
The Superorgan!
Or, as it was more commonly known, the Superorgan.
Uchiha Yae had longed for this for a long time.
Although she had never rushed him, every time she saw the powered armor on Yamagawa Kousuke or the tail of Hyuga Cangyue, she couldn't help but feel envious.
Several years had passed, and if Dong Ping didn't get her Superorgan soon, he feared he might not live to see it completed.
Especially with the recent news of the Maito Witch from the Land of Demons planning a visit to the Heavenly Fortress, Dong Ping felt a sense of unease. This motivated him to work day and night, and finally, he managed to create her Superorgan.
"Let's begin!"
Dong Ping asked Uchiha Yae to lie down on the operating table and signaled Hyuga Cangyue to stand guard outside.
He felt more at ease with her presence during the surgery.
With the Whiteout present in the Heavenly Fortress, they had to take precautions.
Various seals and detection barriers prevented them from entering certain restricted areas.
This laboratory was one of them.
The specialized spatial camouflage barrier ensured that even the Byakugan Wolf would be unable to detect it.
Uchiha Yae closed her eyes as the anesthetic gas took effect.
The implantation surgery was a routine procedure for Dong Ping, and he had mastered it completely without any difficulties.
The key was not in the implantation itself but in ensuring the successful integration of the implanted superorgan with the host.
Normally, life always found a way, and the flesh would evolve according to its environment.
However, this process typically required thousands or even millions of years, and by then, generations would have passed.
But with the 'Leap Agent,' it was possible to accelerate evolution within a short period, and there were no side effects to worry about, no risk of turning into a monster.
A pair of curved red demon horns were implanted at the top of Uchiha Yae's head.
If it were Yamagawa Kousuke, this would only make him appear more ferocious.
But on Uchiha Yae, a stunningly beautiful ice queen, it merely added a touch of 'cuteness' to her appearance.
Aesthetically justified!
Gurgle!
A large amount of nutrient solution was being rapidly consumed.
By now, Dong Ping had already figured out the formula for the nutrient solution, but it was better to not know it.
The production process was complex and required a lot of effort and time. Even if he had the formula, Dong Ping would still choose to continue purchasing it.
However, he had already investigated the source.
The Land of Medicine!
A small country that relied on medicinal herbs for its livelihood, and they were the ones who formulated the nutrient solution.
Dong Ping knew the main ingredient.
Grains!
Indeed, the primary ingredient of the nutrient solution was not medicinal herbs but various foods that could provide nutrition to the flesh, which, when combined with herbs through special means and left to rest for a period, became the nutrient solution.
Therefore, the quantity of nutrient solution was genuinely limited, and it was not possible to increase it arbitrarily.
The quantity of herbs in the Land of Medicine determined the upper limit.
Over the past few years, the Heavenly Fortress had stockpiled a large amount of nutrient solution, but the Leap Agent required nutrient solution to replenish its consumption, so the consumption was even greater.
Now, ten cans had been prepared for Uchiha Yae.
One can cost fifteen million gold coins.
The cost of the nutrient solution alone was as high as one hundred and fifty million gold coins.
Due to their large-scale acquisition of the nutrient solution, the price had increased by half, making the middlemen extremely profitable.
The nutrient solution was rapidly drawn into Uchiha Yae's body through the soft tube, like a pump extracting water.
By now, Dong Ping had also discovered something.
The consumption during evolution was not fixed!
It depended on the potential and strength of the subject.
If it were an ordinary Chunin, the consumption during the fusion process would not be too great.
But Uchiha Yae was already a Shadow-level Shinobi, and with the Uchiha bloodline, the fusion process was naturally extremely complex.
Such a large quantity of nutrient solution could have filled a small swimming pool.
But now, it was all devoured by Uchiha Yae's slender and tall figure, which seemed incredibly magical.
However, in the Ninja World, anything was possible.
To be honest, Dong Ping did have a way to conserve the nutrient solution.
But doing so would require Uchiha Yae to spend a long time recovering, and it would also cause her irreversible harm.
The nutrient solution was used to compensate for the body's consumption during 'evolution,' and not using it would naturally result in adverse effects on the body.
Others might try to cut corners, but Uchiha Yae would never do that.
It didn't matter if it was ten cans; even if all the nutrient solution was used up, it wouldn't matter.
After a few hours!
The evolution was finally complete, and Uchiha Yae opened her light pink eyes.
"How do you feel?"
Even though Dong Ping knew that there wouldn't be any unexpected issues, he still asked.
"My current state is better than ever!"
Uchiha Yae's mouth curled up, as if savoring the power surging within her.
With the pair of red demon horns on her head, her icy demeanor was slightly diluted, making her charm even more astonishing.
(Her chest had flattened somewhat, but the rest can be imagined based on this image.)
