Chapter 773: Ya: It's Tempting!
Chapter 773: Ya: It's Tempting!
"Why don't we fulfill the promise now?" Tang Ping suggested, looking at Kanzuka Hana.
Since they were trying to recruit them, it was only right to offer some benefits first.
"You... what do you mean?" Hana asked, slightly confused at first, but then it dawned on her what Tang Ping was referring to as a 'promise', and she became excited.
Even the most composed person, after experiencing months of being bedridden and needing help to turn over, would be thrilled at the prospect of regaining their health.
"That's right, once you recover, you'll be able to lead our clan's migration even better, won't you?" Tang Ping shrugged.
He was never one for formality; outside of official settings, he was a casual observer, so he was very relaxed.
"The Inuzuka Clan will pledge its loyalty to you!" Kanzuka Tsuba spoke up before Hana could respond, expressing her loyalty.
She had secretly cried countless times over her daughter's injury, and now she finally saw hope.
Whether it was the other party's fault or not, she didn't blame them; she was no child.
The Inuzuka Clan held the Celestial Fortress, and by extension, the Radiant Sun Country, in high regard.
Firstly, the acceptance of Uchiha Chouhou and the Yui Clan by the Celestial Fortress had naturally earned their goodwill.
Especially for the Yui Clan! Back then, the two small ninja clans had stuck together for support, so when Yui Shiwei joined the Skyguard Tower, she maintained communication with them.
Even without revealing confidential information, sharing details about the treatment and benefits was acceptable.
Currently, the Yui Clan had expanded its ninja numbers several times compared to when they were in Konoha.
Resources were no longer scarce.
In Konoha, they had to risk their lives to compete for resources.
But in the Skyguard Tower, with sufficient contributions, resources were readily available, ensuring a worry-free supply.
Thus, the Inuzuka Clan had long been eager to make a move.
Don't even mention loyalty!
That was a privilege only the core ninja clans of the Hokage lineage could claim.
Marginal ninja clans like theirs, upon joining this Hokage faction, only hoped to avoid being targeted.
Previously, Konoha was the strongest village in the ninja world, so enduring some grievances was tolerable.
After all, other ninja villages were even more ruthless, while Konoha at least upheld the 'Will of Fire' in principle.
However, with Konoha losing its 'strongest' status and the invitation from the Skyguard Tower, a beacon in the ninja world, to migrate, the Inuzuka Clan would be under a spell if they weren't tempted.
Their previous hesitation might have been about the prospect of being valued or the logistics of the move.
But with Tang Ping, the 'strongest' in the ninja world, guaranteeing their safety, these concerns were put to rest.
Indeed, the Allied Forces had been hyping Tang Ping as the 'strongest'.
This way, their defeat at the hands of the 'strongest' wouldn't seem so humiliating... right?
Purifying Flame = Strongest in the Ninja World!
This was the trend the Allied Forces were promoting, despite its potential for attracting enmity.
With so many powerful ninjas in the ninja world, claiming to be the strongest would undoubtedly invite dissent.
However, for the Radiant Sun Country, this was an opportunity to attract more people and forces, as the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
The Inuzuka Clan was responsible for preparing the operating room.
For Tang Ping, a surgery of this level was manageable.
But after some thought, he decided against it and instructed them to prepare a basic operating room, with the key being the 'Nutrient Solution'.
He didn't want to wait for their slow recovery.
The early surgery was to turn them into workhorses, and there was no time for rest.
The Inuzuka Clan also had the Nutrient Solution.
It was useful in many situations.
However, due to the constant purchasing by the Skyguard Tower, its price had nearly doubled.
The entire Inuzuka Clan had just over one can.
As Kanzuka Tsuba busied herself with the preparations, Ya, who had just returned, curiously asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Looking at her son, Kanzuka Tsuba felt it was time to tell him something.
"Ya, there are some things you should know now!"
Hearing this, Ya's expression grew serious, sensing that what followed would significantly impact him.
"Our Inuzuka Clan is preparing to relocate to the Skyguard Tower!"
Tsuba, being straightforward by nature, decided to speak her mind now that her younger son had noticed something amiss.
"What?!"
"This is not..."
Ya was about to mention betraying Konoha when he covered his own mouth.
"If you want to become a member of the Root, you can stay in Konoha too!"
Tsuba, as if anticipating her son's reaction, said something that made him hesitate.
Root!
With the previous expose and the introduction in "My Struggle," Root's infamy spread far and wide, becoming a household name that could stop a child's tantrum.
Not to mention, Ya had seen 'Saji,' the boy rescued from Root, and knew the horrors within.
"Mom, you're not...joking, are you?"
Ya cautiously looked at Inuzuka Tsuba, wondering if she was using Root to scare him.
"Ya, our Inuzuka Clan has no choice!"
Inuzuka Tsuba sighed helplessly.
Indeed, if they didn't want to face clan annihilation, relocating to the Skyguard Tower was their only option.
"But...but..."
Ya was about to argue that this went against the Will of Fire, but then he thought of the actions of the Hokage lineage.
If anyone had betrayed the Will of Fire, it was the village's high officials who had done so more thoroughly.
"I...I understand."
Ya muttered to himself.
For the sake of his clan, he compromised, but he would never truly submit to the Radiant Sun Country, nor would he genuinely pledge his loyalty.
After all, he was a staunch successor to the Will of Fire.
"By the way, your teacher and two teammates are there. If the clan relocates, you can continue to team up with them!"
Inuzuka Tsuba, as if suddenly remembering, 'reminded' her son.
As Ya was feeling self-moved by his commitment to the Will of Fire, he was suddenly speechless.
Whether it was Hotaru or Shino, they were his best teammates, and there was also the kind-hearted teacher, Makoto.
As he thought of them, the stubbornness on his face gradually softened.
'Actually, moving to the Skyguard Tower isn't that bad!'
It was fortunate that Tangping didn't see this scene; otherwise, he would have blurted out two words.
So delicious!
At this moment, Ya was the epitome of a typical case.
Fortunately, he wasn't Minato, or else he would have definitely tried to stop the clan's decision.
After all, staying meant joining Root, but leaving the village meant losing the bond with the Will of Fire and the village.
On the other side, Hyuga Tsukimi, who was with Tangping, had disappeared, and he was in the Inuzuka Clan's secret chamber, browsing their collection of resources.
If it were anyone else, the Inuzuka Clan would rather die than let an outsider view their secret collection.
But for Tangping, the strongest ninja in the ninja world and the future 'new boss,' they naturally had no objections.
Although Tangping had no intention of learning these secret techniques, he could draw inspiration and ideas from the Inuzuka Clan's techniques and materials, absorbing them into his own nourishment.
It must be said that the Inuzuka Clan's research on ninja dogs was profound, providing Tangping with a wealth of useful knowledge.
"Your Excellency, I'm ready!"
Inuzuka Tsuba's voice sounded from outside, signaling Tangping to finish absorbing knowledge.
After leaving the secret chamber, Inuzuka Tsuba was somewhat surprised and asked,
"What's the matter?"
Tangping seemed a bit off at this moment.
"It's nothing!"
Tangping replied casually and then led the way out.
Sage Mode made his speech sound firm.
To study these materials, he naturally had to use the 'Clearmind Potion,' which significantly altered his gaze and demeanor.
In simple terms, he was no longer human! (Tangping: Flame Finger Charging...)
He's a god! (Tangping: Well said, but don't say it again!)
With Sage Mode activated, Tangping arrived at the temporary surgery room, shooed everyone else away, leaving only Inuzuka Tsuba, the former clan leader, and the surgery target's mother. He then got to work.
For a medical ninja of Tsunade's caliber, as long as the patient wasn't dead, there was no problem.
So, even as he intentionally slowed down, the surgery was completed in less than two hours.
Divine skill!
Inuzuka Tsuba, observing from the side, could only think of this.
At this moment, Tangping also regained his senses from the 'Sage Mode' induced by the Clearmind Potion.
