Chapter 893: Shaking the Ninja Clan and Infiltration!
Chapter 893: Shaking the Ninja Clan and Infiltration!
There were numerous Ninja Clans to visit, more than a dozen in total, each with a population exceeding a hundred.
In the past, the Heavenly Fortress Tower would not have given these clans a second glance.
But now, the situation was different with the Sunlight Nation rising to prominence, especially after witnessing the decay of Konoha and the hypocrisy of the Hokage System.
Previously, out of respect for the protection provided by the Hokage System, these clans would have endured, even if they only got to drink the leftovers of the Hokage's power, like broth without any meat.
However, with Konoha's consecutive failures, these clans had to consider their own interests and those of the Ninja Clans.
While discussing the Will of Fire with civilians might still be effective, it was not the case with the Ninja Clans. They had more at stake than just themselves, which is why they were wavering.
The critical factor was that the Sunlight Nation was established by Konoha's own people, making it psychologically easier for them to defect.
At this point, any perceptive ninja could see that the Allied Forces were in a dire situation, with their currencies rapidly devaluing and a massive influx of refugees.
The nobles only cared about the growth of their wealth in terms of land and warehouse assets, ignoring everything else.
But the ninjas could see the reality, and although they had warned the nobles, their efforts were not only futile but also resulted in accusations of 'incitement.'
The reason for this was not hard to guess.
The common people suffered, but the nobles, who were above it all, did not care. By exposing this truth, the ninjas were effectively cutting off the nobles' source of wealth.
Blocking someone's financial path is akin to killing their parents.
The fact that these ninjas were not subjected to 'broad-minded' or 'open-minded' treatments was already a blessing.
Currently, there were more than enough people willing to defect to the Sunlight Nation.
Tang Ping was there to reap the benefits.
His identity as the Sun Sovereign allowed him to reassure the clans that his visit was not a trap set by the Allied Forces or Konoha.
As for secretly notifying the villages? It might be possible for an individual, but not for a Ninja Clan.
They were well aware that with Tang Ping's strength, there was no way the villages could keep him.
Even if, by some miracle, they managed to detain him, they would not withstand the Sunlight Nation's retaliation.
Moreover, the Ninja Clans Tang Ping visited were carefully selected for their wavering loyalty. Even if they refused to join, they would not report back to their villages.
Of course, Tang Ping also assured them that he came to Konoha only to watch the show, not to hunt... or take action.
Given his reputation, no one would doubt this promise.
The credibility of a strong individual!
In the Shinobi World, this was more solid than any contract.
Only a powerful figure like Danzou would be distrusted, so Tang Ping's personal visit instantly alleviated the concerns of the Ninja Clans.
Over half of them immediately pledged their allegiance to the Sunlight Nation, ready to flee Konoha at the first opportunity.
The rest, even if they didn't agree on the spot, expressed that they would consider it, leaving the door open.
It can be said that Tang Ping has always been straightforward when it comes to dealing with people.
He kept his focus on the corner of Konoha, relentlessly digging! If Sarutobi Hiruzen knew about this in the Purity Land, he might have been furious enough to use Impure World Reincarnation to rise from his grave and confront Tang Ping.
It was a bit too much to pick on them like this.
There were so many villages in the Ninja World, even if one wanted to poach talent, it wouldn't be necessary to keep targeting the same village.
Konoha's accumulated resources and heritage were now mostly in the hands of the Sunlight Nation. By not letting up, they were essentially pushing Konoha towards its demise!
In truth, Tang Ping was also feeling wronged.
It wasn't that he wanted to keep targeting Konoha; it was just that the Cloud and Rock villages had less appealing corners to dig into, so he didn't bother.
Perhaps Konoha had earned the favor of Rikudo, as the average talent of its ninjas far surpassed that of other ninja villages. Otherwise, there wouldn't be an endless stream of geniuses.
In the end, the intention was to weaken Konoha's potential by persistently poaching their talent.
After the visit, Tang Ping hinted to the Ninja Clans that they should find a way to send their promising ninjas out to 'broaden their horizons.'
Nagato was about to carry the rice, and although the ultimate outcome was the resurrection of all, with Konan's 'special ingredients,' unexpected situations might still arise.
In the end, the plot has gone completely off the rails.
If he were to take action, he could easily interrupt Nagato's resurrection.
However, he needs to face off against the Sage of the Six Paths.
After converting his spiritual energy, he has the confidence to protect himself, but not the confidence to defeat them.
That's why he claimed to be here for the fun, not to take action.
Next up is infiltrating the Root Division.
Regarding the Root Division, Tang Ping feels a surge of nostalgia.
In the beginning, when he was starting out, the Root Division was almost like a gift package and warehouse for him, providing abundant resources and funds. It allowed him to rise rapidly, and the Root Division deserves some credit for that.
Returning to this place now evokes mixed emotions.
The Root's headquarters are underground, beneath the village.
Due to the book "My Struggle," it was despised by countless people, so it was disbanded, and the headquarters were abandoned.
However, after Transcending Sleep, Konan revived the Root Division, and naturally, this underground headquarters was put back into use.
With Tang Ping's current strength, even without Hyuga Tsukuyuki's guidance, he effortlessly infiltrated the Root Division as if it were unguarded.
'Still the same!'
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Upon entering the Root Division's base, a dark and bloody aura washed over him.
It's unclear why, but even though the ANBU is also an organization that deals in darkness, it doesn't give off this feeling.
And even though the Root Division has changed leaders and restructured its departments, it still gives off this feeling.
Perhaps it's because the rebuilt Root Division follows the same principles and methods, so it feels this way.
Everywhere is filled with traps and sentries, making the defense here extremely tight.
However, this doesn't have much effect on Tang Ping.
Soon, he reached the core of the Root Division.
The first thing he saw was a bloody experiment.
Ghost Budra Technique! Tang Ping's first thought was of this technique.
These experiments were all aimed at bloodline limit fusion.
The good news is that bloodline limit ninjas are not as common as regular ninjas, so even if they wanted to conduct experiments, they couldn't get too many test subjects.
However, in terms of progress, the Leaf Village's side is not slow.
At the very least, with two bloodline limits, they've already started to create child subjects that can survive for a few minutes.
In other words, without a research big shot leading the way, the progress would have long surpassed the master.
Note!
Initially, the Leaf Village captured Biruhu and, through interrogation, learned the Ghost Budra Technique.
Although they planned to collaborate with Danzo and Orochimaru to perfect the technique, Orochimaru wasn't too keen on this collaboration. Later, when his body had issues, he constantly hindered the progress.
This led to him only completing half the development work, and all the research materials fell into the hands of the Sun Nation, which is to say, Tang Ping's hands.
It can be said that Orochimaru is indeed a research genius. Not only did he decipher the technique, but he also perfected this so-called forbidden technique, which is actually a technological achievement.
Fortunately, the Leaf Village played a 'double assurance' hand.
On one hand, they threw the technology to Danzo, asking Orochimaru to act as a proxy, while on the other hand, they also conducted their own research.
Using their "unique" research method, they managed to break through to the dual bloodline limit stage.
Of course, this research speed, excluding monsters like Tang Ping, Senju Tobirama, Orochimaru, and Kabuto, is already considered fast.
The biggest issue is the 'exhaustion of manpower and materials.'
The exhaustion of manpower is because if the research personnel's progress is slightly slow or they slack off, it's not as simple as dismissal; instead, they are directly transferred from being researchers to being research subjects.
Both are experimental personnel, just one is a researcher, and the other is a research subject.
Under such cruel circumstances, it's no wonder the Root Division's researchers are putting in their all.
As for materials, naturally, it's because the Root Division's research style is to 'pile on resources.'
If it doesn't work once, try ten times, and if it doesn't work ten times, try a hundred times.
They forcefully bring the technology to life before your very eyes.
With this approach, it's not surprising that they've managed to create a Ghost Budra Technique at the dual bloodline limit level.
If they can stabilize the bloodline limit, this technology will be ready for practical use.
Tang Ping memorized all this and continued forward.
Soon, he arrived at the core laboratory and saw the testing ground, where a familiar figure caught his eye.
