Chapter 789: PY Transaction!
Chapter 789: PY Transaction!
"Jiraiya, after obtaining the Ghost Bud Technique, who do you plan to assign for research?" Mizuhara Gentai asked in a low voice.
This Forbidden Technique was bloody and dangerous, and it was no simple matter; otherwise, Biruhu wouldn't have taken such a long time to complete it.
The Ghost Bud Technique was more of a 'technique' than a 'forbidden technique', which was why Mizuhara Gentai referred to it as 'research' rather than 'learning'.
"This..."
Jiraiya pondered for a moment before realizing that he couldn't find a reliable person for the research.
When it came to research, the first person that came to mind was his good friend, Orochimaru, but unfortunately, he was already an S-rank rogue ninja.
Then there was the Root Division! Although their methods were cruel and bloody, their research progress was genuinely impressive.
Unfortunately, the Root Division had disbanded, and Danzo had also become an S-rank rogue ninja.
And that was the end of the line.
Konoha had numerous secret technique clans, but none were particularly strong in research.
While Konoha did have a research department, its efficiency was entirely dependent on the expertise of those involved.
It was essentially a decorative department.
All previous funds had been invested in Orochimaru and the Root Division, leaving Konoha's research department without funding and on the verge of disbandment. It was practically a retirement home.
If the Ghost Bud Technique were handed over to the development department, it might take an incredibly long time to make even the slightest progress.
Jiraiya's head ached at this thought, but a sudden flash of inspiration led him to ask, "Do you have any better ideas?"
Since the other party had brought up this matter, they must have had something in mind.
"How about giving the Ghost Bud Technique to Danzo and letting him collaborate with Orochimaru for research?" Mizuhara Gentai whispered, revealing his true intention.
During Danzo's 'intense battle' with them, they had made a PY transaction, which meant that Danzo would take the blame, and the results would be shared with Konoha.
That was why he suggested this idea.
Moreover, this suggestion was made with the village's best interests in mind.
If the technique were kept within Konoha, it would be as good as not obtaining it. The best choice was to collaborate with others.
And what could be better than collaborating with Orochimaru?
You might say he's a wanted rogue ninja?
Everyone knew the inside story about Orochimaru, and Jiraiya had always wanted to bring him back to Konoha.
As for Danzo, it went without saying.
He was forced to betray the village by Tang Ping, and later, Tang Ping used a book called 'My Struggle' to prevent him from turning things around.
It could be said that the Hokage lineage's grudge with Danzo wasn't as big as imagined.
Even Jiraiya didn't truly hate Danzo. Although Danzo had done many infuriating things, most of them were for the village's sake and to take the fall for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Hate the Shadow, Understand the Shadow, Become the Shadow! At this moment, Jiraiya wished he had a Blame Hero like Danzo.
Therefore, when he heard Mizuhara Gentai mention a private transaction with Danzo, he didn't get angry but instead asked directly, "Why don't we directly trade with Orochimaru?"
If they could collaborate with Orochimaru directly, he would naturally feel more at ease.
"Previously, it was Danzo who contacted Orochimaru. We have no way of reaching him, and besides, it's not suitable for Konoha to take the lead!"
Mizuhara Gentai, of course, knew that collaborating directly with Orochimaru, bypassing the middleman, would be better.
But what could they do when Orochimaru had no contact with them?
Moreover, Danzo could assist Orochimaru significantly in research and take the blame for researching the forbidden technique, so he was still inclined to collaborate with him.
"Is that so..."
Jiraiya's eyes flickered, deciding to use this opportunity to establish contact with Orochimaru.
Yes, he had made up his mind to 'save' his friend.
He couldn't let him continue down the wrong path.
Soon, Forest Nachi returned with the information.
You might find this strange.
How could a Shadow-rank ninja with four Bloodline Limits be interrogated so quickly by a Special Jonin? The key lies in what kind of Shadow-rank ninja it is.
If it were someone like Orochimaru, Forest Nachi might not only fail to break through his mental defenses but also need to be cautious to avoid being influenced himself.
Orochimaru had conducted considerable research on Soul Secret Techniques and Yin Transformation.
Even the Non-Corporeal Resurrection, a forbidden technique, involved occupying another's body from the soul's perspective. If Ibi Shigen dared to interrogate Orochimaru, it would be like delivering himself to the enemy.
But Biruhu was different.
First of all, he was only at the level of a Jonin in terms of strength, and he had been researching the Ghost Bud Technique all this time, rarely training or fighting, so his mental fortitude was not particularly strong.
Facing Ibi Shigen, an expert in interrogation, even with greater combat power, it was useless. His mental defenses were easily breached.
Perhaps, this is why strong individuals cannot have obvious weaknesses.
It's not that you have to be strong in every aspect, but at the very least, you can't become a weakness.
Otherwise, just like Deidara, he was easily manipulated by the Great Sage using his Sharingan.
The same goes for Orochimaru; he was defeated with just a glance.
It was their weakness in illusions that led to this situation for these two.
If it were Jiraiya, he had no obvious weaknesses in Body Illusions, so enemies wanting to defeat him would have to overpower him with sheer strength.
Even when facing stronger opponents, he could hold his ground, and then find a way to turn the tables or escape, instead of being instantly defeated.
The Ghost Bud Technique was hidden within a summoning beast, so Konoha naturally had a way to obtain it.
The Heart Turn Technique of the Yamanaka Clan could directly control the opponent.
So Ibi Shigen handed over the scroll to Jiraiya.
Note that the scroll didn't just contain the Ghost Bud Technique; it sealed all the technical information within.
Without thoroughly researching this information, the Ghost Bud Technique couldn't be used.
"Next, I'll leave this matter in your hands!"
Jiraiya passed the scroll to Mizuhara Gentai.
Although the two elders' abilities weren't impressive, they had the advantage of being extremely experienced and loyal to Konoha.
Therefore, before he had other capable personnel, Jiraiya had no choice but to rely on the two advisory elders.
As the Hokage, he naturally had to find a way to deal with the aftermath of this incident.
The impact of tonight was terrible!
Not to mention the extensive damage, it was unclear how long it would take to restore it.
More crucially, the departure of the Inuzuka Clan and many others from Konoha dealt a significant blow to the village's prestige.
What Jiraiya couldn't understand the most was why the Inuzuka Clan would defect.
They weren't like the Uchiha or Hyuga, who were also of the Hokage lineage. Even if they were just minor clans, they wouldn't defect, right?
Not long after.
The Anbu investigating the Inuzuka Clan returned with a report that instantly changed Jiraiya's expression.
Root Division!
He truly hadn't expected that the village's plan to use the Inuzuka Clan to establish the Root Division would drive them to defect from Konoha.
The problem was... as the Hokage, he genuinely didn't know when the village had decided to re-establish the Root Division.
"Sigh!"
Jiraiya sighed, feeling incredibly weary.
Without the assistance of Nara Shikaku and Tsunade, he felt powerless.
Just as Jiraiya sighed, on the other side, Tang Ping and Hyuga Tsukimi also caught up with the retreating airship fleet.
Stepping onto the airship deck, Tang Ping also put the Inuzuka Flower and Inuzuka Claw, who were on guard, at ease, while greeting them.
"Sir!"
They hadn't expected the migration to go so smoothly either.
Throughout the entire process, aside from the occasional explosions coming from Konoha, there were no Konoha ninjas pursuing them, which made them, who had prepared for battle, feel a little out of place.
"Rest assured, Konoha is quite 'lively' right now, and they don't have the time to cause trouble. In just two more days, we'll be back at the Skyguard Tower, so ask your clansmen to hold on a little longer!"
Tang Ping spoke to ease their anxious hearts.
As a clan that had grown up in Konoha, the Inuzuka Clan naturally had a deep-rooted fear of the village. If it weren't for the injustice done to Inuzuka Shimeharu, they might not have made the decision to defect to the Skyguard Tower.
From this perspective, Tang Ping was truly grateful to the two advisory elders.
A new number one had appeared, how could he stop now!
The previous number one, Danzo, had provided countless benefits to the Skyguard Tower from start to finish.
Now that he was gone, Tang Ping, who had been in pain, felt better. With the new number one, he hoped that she would do well.
So he decided in his heart that if he had the chance, he would give her some credit to help solidify her position.
As Tang Ping calmed everyone down, Hyuga Tsukimi also boarded the airship from the rear, carrying the unconscious Sheren.
Several airships flew at full speed towards the Skyguard Tower.
