Chapter 701: The Leaf Village's Proactive Approach
Chapter 701: The Leaf Village's Proactive Approach
Leaf Mansion!
In the room where Tohei temporarily resided, he was currently busy concocting various potions.
For someone of his caliber, many things could be created manually, without the need for instruments.
The essential research tools were naturally carried in scrolls for convenience.
This was why he could work in the Leaf Village without having to return to his laboratory.
Whether it was Uchiha Yaya's 'Eternal Mystic Iris' experiment or Hyuga Chihaya's fusion experiment, they both fell under the 'biology' field, and large equipment was not required. Otherwise, it would be impossible to conduct research at any time.
When Uchiha Yaya arrived, she exchanged glances with Hyuga Tsukimaru at the door before entering the laboratory.
"The preparations are almost done. We'll start the surgery soon!"
Tohei responded without turning his head, as he was in the process of preparing the final potion.
Knowing that they couldn't wait, he naturally wouldn't stop them, so he worked overtime to prepare the necessary items for the surgery.
Without years of research on the Mystic Iris, the surgery would undoubtedly fail.
But Tohei had studied it for years and knew the origins of the Mystic Iris, so completing this fusion surgery was not an issue.
The most crucial factor was the heaven-defying cheat he possessed.
Teleportation Elixir... his own blood.
It could solve the greatest challenge of the Mystic Iris, which required 'blood relatives'.
Once this issue was addressed, the rest would be straightforward.
After all, he had ninety-nine percent confidence in this surgery.
The remaining one percent was concern about the LYB causing trouble, so some preparation was necessary.
Minako had left the Leaf Village to retrieve the Rasengan Shuriken.
The surgery location was not at the Skyguard Tower!
There were Byakugan Wolves there, and he feared that Otsutsuki might cause trouble during the surgery.
After all, this surgery had significant implications.
Eternal Mystic Iris!
In the past, the former student, Otsutsuki, had directly challenged the God of Shinobi with this state.
Although he had lost, it proved that they were on the same level.
Even with the Nine-Tails and Indra's chakra, he could only achieve such strength.
But with Uchiha Yaya's assistance, Tohei could develop the Eternal Sharingan and compete with Otsutsuki.
Moreover, he possessed Hashirama cells, Divine Tree fragments, and White Zetsu cells, which could enhance the Mystic Iris's potential.
Hyper Shadow!
With the Eternal Mystic Iris, one could enter this realm.
And for this level, Uchiha Yaya had been eagerly awaiting it for a long time.
Being surpassed was embarrassing, but being surpassed by a sworn enemy was even more so.
Hyuga Tsukimaru had been a Hyper Shadow for quite some time, and he often used this fact to provoke Uchiha Yaya.
How could she tolerate this? That's why Uchiha Yaya didn't want to wait any longer and came to the Leaf Village early to urge Tohei to work overtime.
Half an hour later...
"It's done!"
Tohei looked at the pile of potions on the table.
This surgery was incredibly complex, unlike a typical transplant, hence the need for these potions.
However, before they could ask Minako to take them to the surgery site, Nara Shikuro arrived for a visit.
"???"
Tohei was perplexed by this development.
With the conclusion of the Hokage election and no official position, he didn't think there was much to discuss with Nara Shikuro.
"Perhaps it's about the migration?"
Uchiha Yaya, by his side, offered a guess.
Indeed, that was the only possibility.
With over a thousand gifted individuals and their families, the total number exceeded several thousand, and the migration required coordination with various parties.
It was easy for people to leave, but the subsequent matters were more complicated.
For example, if the TenTen family's weapon shop left, they would need to consider who would fill the void, sell the house, and so on.
"I also want to see what the 'Leaf Strategist' is up to."
Tohei prepared to meet with him.
Soon after!
Upon meeting, he was genuinely surprised to find that Nara Shikuro had come to discuss an entirely different matter.
"Honorable Tohei, these are the applications for the Skyguard Tower. I wonder if they can join your migration team and gain ninja training qualifications?" Nara Shikuro presented a thick file.
The file contained thousands of registration forms for the Skyguard Tower.
After the Leaf Village announced its migration plan, there was an immediate surge in applications.
Over the past few years, the Skyguard Tower had trained numerous ninjas, many of whom were originally from the Leaf Village.
In the village, they could only tighten screws and farm, but after a few years at the Skyguard Tower, they became high-ranking ninjas.
Who wouldn't be envious?
It was no surprise that so many people applied.
Tohei was surprised by this fact.
Previously, when he had made the request, the other party refused vehemently, and it was only after threatening to leak information that they reluctantly agreed.
But now, it was as if they were door-to-door salespeople, afraid that he wouldn't accept them.
Tohei's way of thinking differed from that of the Leaf Village. In his view, resources were not an issue, so he never considered that they might want to use these people to deplete the Skyguard Tower's resources.
However, just because he hadn't thought of it didn't mean others hadn't.
"Wait, I think these people can be sent to the Skyguard Tower in batches. What do you think, Honorable Yaya?" Uchiha Yaya, with her ninja world perspective, immediately saw through the Leaf Village's intentions.
Before these people were trained as ninjas, they were all gold-gobbling beasts, so the more there were, the more of a burden they would be for a while.
"No, the village will only allow migration for half a month. After that, it will return to its previous state of isolation!" Nara Shikuro shook his head, his eyes sparkling with wisdom.
They needed to send as many people as possible to the Skyguard Tower before the 'Fire Extinguishing Plan' began.
And this was a 'sunlit scheme'.
Even if the other party saw the risks, they couldn't refuse.
Because the Skyguard Tower needed people with chakra talents.
"No problem, as long as they sign the contract, they can go to the Skyguard Tower!" Tohei interrupted Uchiha Yaya before she could finish speaking.
He didn't care what the other party wanted to do.
Under absolute power, everything they did would be futile.
Indeed, in his eyes, the three great hidden villages and the daimyo were mere peasants and pigs, not worth mentioning.
Currently, he was concerned that his performance might be too exaggerated, causing the Six Paths behind him to directly discard the Green Face and start cheating. Otherwise, would he really be unable to conquer the three great hidden villages even with his full power?
With several hyper shadows leading the way and a large number of elites following, they could easily replicate the 'Blitz Village Assault' campaign.
The current restraint was to slowly deplete the enemy's strength while taking advantage of the war to accomplish their own goals, avoiding detection and interference.
"That's right. As long as they sign the training contract, they can join this migration!" Uchiha Yaya didn't understand why Tohei had spoken up, but she never questioned him, so she nodded, putting aside any thoughts of bargaining.
Her thoughts were the same as Tohei's. No matter what schemes the other party had, they would swallow them first.
The only difference was that she wanted to take advantage of the situation.
"That's good!" Nara Shikuro smiled lightly and nodded.
Finally, this task was completed.
Once these people arrived at the Skyguard Tower, they would consume a significant amount of the other party's resources and drain their energy.
Next, he had to deal with the internal affairs of the village.
After the Hokage System suffered a significant blow, everyone else had their eyes on the positions and benefits left behind. As a result, the Leaf Village was also in turmoil.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo Shimura worked together, they could suppress the situation.
Jiraiya had the strength and charisma, but he lacked the necessary strategic thinking.
Tsunade had the intelligence and ability, but she wasn't the Hokage.
So, the Leaf Village was in chaos.
However, none of this concerned Tohei. At that moment, he was with Uchiha Yaya, and with Minako's help, they arrived at an unexpected location to begin the operation.
