Chapter 467: Scheming!
Chapter 467: Scheming!
At the Sky Fortress headquarters near the Mist Concealment Village.
"Sir, why are we letting those Mist Ninjas take advantage of us?"
Scarlet Lotus, relying on her relationship with Dong Ping, came to ask about his deliberate act of letting the Mist Ninjas make money.
In her opinion, that was all their money!
Dong Ping, busy at the experimental table, didn't even lift his head, "Do we lack money?"
As one of the new generation's leaders, they were willing to guide each other whenever they had the chance.
Well, even though they were only a few years apart in age, Dong Ping's status and position made it difficult for them to interact casually at times, so it was essential to cultivate a representative figure.
"Ah..."
Scarlet Lotus never expected to receive such an answer.
But after careful consideration and reflecting on what she had witnessed,
It seemed... the Sky Fortress was indeed not short on money.
What they lacked were resources and manpower.
Therefore, if something could be solved with money, it was not an issue for them.
"In other words, Dong Ping, you deliberately used money to buy off the Mist Ninjas?"
Scarlet Lotus realized the intention.
No wonder, whether it was Shan Jian Hao Er or Uchiha Shou... and the others, they all acted as if they hadn't seen anything and showed no intention of joining her in questioning.
"The effect is quite good, isn't it?"
A slight smile curled Dong Ping's lips.
He didn't believe that all Mist Ninjas would treat money as dirt and have unwavering loyalty to the village, especially since the Mist Village's unity was already fragile. It would be too easy to buy them off.
"Indeed!"
Scarlet Lotus murmured.
Not only was it effective, but the current treatment of the Mist Ninjas had softened their attitude towards the Sky Fortress significantly.
Except for the radical elements, even those with grudges against the Sky Fortress had begun to think that being ruled by them wouldn't be so bad.
"Alright, go and tell the others below, the matter I mentioned is of utmost importance, so be quick about it!"
Dong Ping casually gave an order.
"Yes!"
Scarlet Lotus left the simple temporary laboratory to convey the command.
And the matter that Dong Ping was focusing on was, of course, the 'textbook'.
That's right!
Currently, the Ninja Academy in the Mist Concealment Village had expanded tenfold.
With abundant resources, it was natural to expand, and they also abolished the cruel graduation mode.
The previous Mist Village couldn't afford this expenditure, but that didn't mean the Sky Fortress couldn't.
With such a significant investment, the number of teachers naturally increased, and among them were many gentle priestess sisters.
The key was that the textbooks had also undergone significant revisions.
They were filled with the 'Blazing Sun Will' and constantly promoted Dong Ping, even claiming that he had brought about a revolution in the Mist Village.
Don't think that this kind of praise was too embarrassing.
Because this was the most effective method.
For example, a certain 'Strongest Hokage Fanatic' was able to maintain an unshakable position in the Leaf Village through such means.
Since there was a precedent, how could Dong Ping not copy... borrow from it?
So, while he might not pay much attention to other aspects, he was absolutely strict when it came to education.
With this approach, as long as it wasn't for an extended period, the Mist Village could be transformed into a 'Blazing Sun' village.
Brainwashing alone would not have such an effect.
But Dong Ping truly offered benefits!
Brainwashing, combined with tangible benefits, made it incredibly easy to change the Mist Ninjas' perspectives.
It was through these methods that Zhao Mei Ming felt the Mist Village had 'changed'.
After Scarlet Lotus left, Dong Ping shook the test tube in his hand.
Even while staying in the Mist Village, he hadn't been idle, constantly extracting Kaguya's spinal marrow, and now he had finally completed the task.
Using thousands of Kaguya clan members, including several hundred with awakened Bone Pulse, as materials.
He wasn't afraid of exposure regarding this matter.
After all, it wasn't as if he was experimenting on his own people.
Although the major Ninja Villages listed human experimentation as a taboo, in reality, they secretly conducted many such experiments, as long as they weren't performed on their own people.
Two tubes!
After consuming so many Kaguya clan members, Dong Ping finally produced two tubes of 'Bone Pulse'.
With such a small quantity, it was naturally a matter of 'purification' and 'refinement'.
It was worth noting that the bloodline of ordinary Kaguya clan members was genuinely inferior, not worth extracting, so it was better to make use of them as waste.
As long as someone can perfectly fuse these two Bone Pulse, they can at least rival Kimaryou.
And this technique isn't difficult; even Orochimaru can do it.
The key is to be able to 'successfully fuse' them.
No matter how strong the bloodline is, it's useless if it can't be fused.
But Dong Ping can cheat... no, he can solve it with his technique.
Transition Elixir (Blood)!
But this divine item, specifically for fusion and evolution, ensures that there's no fear of failure in the fusion process.
Life will find a way.
One bottle is equivalent to a person spending a thousand years to fuse this bloodline.
Therefore, with enough Transition Elixir and nutrient solution, successfully fusing the bloodlines is truly feasible.
It can only be said that Dong Ping, with his wild imagination, has maximized the potential of this external solution.
After all, it's just a bloodline with fusion and evolutionary effects, but in his hands, it's almost limitless.
Now, it's just a matter of when the experimental subject is ready.
With only two vials, one is reserved for Hyuga Cangyue, so the experiment can only be conducted once.
However, the experimental subject he's been waiting for hasn't been doing well recently.
Leaf Village!
In the Main Clan's meeting hall of the Hyuga Clan, a meeting is currently underway.
For months, the rumors about the Hyuga Clan's intention to collaborate with the Uchiha have not only failed to subside but have intensified.
There's no choice; with Root Division's meddling, the rumors can't be suppressed.
If they were deeply trusted by the Hokage, there would be no need to worry.
The problem is that, over the past few months, although Sarutobi Hiruzen has publicly expressed trust in the Hyuga Clan, the rumors haven't stopped! As the Hokage, if he wanted to, he could have stopped the rumors.
But the rumors persist.
Think about it, and consider it carefully!
Under these circumstances, it's no wonder the Hyuga Clan is in a state of constant anxiety, ultimately leading to this Main Clan meeting.
Sitting at the highest position is naturally Hyuga Dazuki, the clan leader.
However, this once dignified and noble clan leader now looks completely different from before, almost like a different person.
His cheeks are gaunt, his eyes dark, and his complexion is listless. If not for the luxurious silk garments he wears, one might mistake him for a refugee.
There's no choice; as the protagonist of the rumors, constantly bearing the strange gazes of his clan members and villagers, it's hard not to appear haggard.
Meanwhile, outside the meeting hall.
A short-haired little girl, only a few years old, with pure white eyes, is curiously examining the inside while holding an infant in her arms.
At this moment, with the Main Clan members gathered, the meeting begins.
"Clan leader, can you give us an explanation?"
Hyuga Toko, the Main Clan's Grand Elder, speaks up.
He is the one who called for this meeting.
He senses an ominous scent.
"Grand Elder, I have never collaborated with the Uchiha. Didn't the Uchiha already provide an explanation?"
Hyuga Dazai is also confused because he genuinely hasn't collaborated with the Uchiha.
But now, everyone believes that due to his younger brother, Hizashi, he has chosen to collaborate with the Uchiha.
"But if you only provide an explanation after such a long time, doesn't that confirm your relationship with the Uchiha?"
A middle-aged Main Clan member questions.
Yes, the Uchiha did explain, saying they were 'not close' to Hyuga Dazai.
The problem is that this explanation came out more than half a month after the rumors started.
Nonsense! Anyone would think this is a deceptive explanation agreed upon by both sides.
In any case, Hyuga Dazai now understands how Byakugan was treated when facing overwhelming rumors.
And the longer the rumors spread, the more people will believe them.
Now, even some Hyuga Clan members suspect that their clan leader might also be aiming for the Hokage's position.
"But I haven't even met them in private, how could I possibly collude with them!"
Hyuga Dazai refutes.
He genuinely hasn't met them in private and has even intentionally avoided them.
But the next words from this Main Clan member almost give Hyuga Dazai a high blood pressure attack.
