Chương 126: Harvest

It's important to understand that the Land of Whirlpools is a nation with laws largely similar to those of other countries, and it possesses the sacred right to amend its own laws.

Why is international gambling so popular on the high seas?

This was to avoid the strict restrictions imposed by coastal countries.

Although gambling and entertainment are generally legal in the five major countries, one thing is consistent: heavy taxes are levied on the casino and entertainment industries. Not only are they easy to bully, but they are also extremely wealthy.

"All you need is for your grandfather to announce a permanent tax exemption and promise to protect the ninja business..." Yura looked at Mito and said, "The major casinos and entertainment industries of the five great nations will try to cluster in the Land of Whirlpools. At first, there may not be many, but once the brand is established, it will form a huge scale."

After thinking for a moment, Mito said, "How insidious..." Mito looked at Yura and reached out to tap Yura's head.

Yura tilted her head and winked at Mito.

"How did you get such a brain?" Mito asked curiously.

"Heh..." Jielu chuckled, tossed the back of Mito's head, and trotted forward, saying, "Remember, give some shares to the Senju brothers, but only to Senju Hashirama. They can be inherited by his definite descendants, but never by Konoha. In the early stages, the Land of Whirlpools will still need the God of Shinobi to withstand the firepower."

"Will you accept it?" Mito asked.

"Yes, it will," Jieluo said.

"Konoha is also short of money. Otherwise, Hashirama Senju wouldn't have been able to come up with the idea of selling tailed beasts for free. He really doesn't have much talent for doing business."

Mito laughed and said, "Really?"

"It's just shares; it's hard to say what the future holds," Jieluo said.

"We still need to give some dividends."

""

"No, you really are giving it to me." Mito didn't want to give it; she was giving away her own money.

Then, Mito looked at Yura and smiled, "Do you want it?"

"Will you give it to me?" Jieluo asked.

"Of course I'll give it to you~" Mito said with a smile.

"Then it's alright," Jieluo said.

When they reached a bridge in the village, the two stopped, and Mito said, "Then I'll go to work now."

"I have something to do too, so I'll be going now." Jieluo nodded.

"See you tonight~" Mito said with a smile, looking at Yura.

See you later~ Under Mito's watchful gaze, Yura turned and disappeared into the mist. Only after Yura's figure had completely vanished did Mito smile and turn away.

Jieluo rubbed his head and let out a soft sigh of relief.

After they got to know each other better, Mito became quite clingy, and Yura was a little unsure of what she was thinking.

It's pretty...

It's a headache.

Back in the laboratory inside the Seventh Division's mountain, Yura continued with her projects and research.

Analysis of Hero's Water.

In theory, Jieluo has his own ideas, but in practice, it's hard to say. After all, experiments are a bit of a matter of luck, and an unexpected result might be produced.

Watching the frenzied laboratory mice in the cage, Jie Luo made records. When they were almost dead, he began to dissect them and observe the cells under a microscope.

There are many things that need to be learned little by little. At night, I also need to learn sealing techniques and barrier techniques from Mito.

Jieluo was like a greedy sponge, learning everything.

Knowledge is power; in the ninja world, this is a definite truth.

A week later, Cai Zang sent someone to the Seventh Division with the news.

Looking at the masked member of the First Division in front of him, Yura sat behind his desk and said, "Speak."

"Lady Oni-hime," said the ninja from the First Division, kneeling on one knee, "According to the intelligence gathered by the First Division, the target has been staying in Fukuyama Castle for nearly a week. Based on our analysis, it seems they are waiting for our Kirigakure to make contact. Lord Saizo said that the possibility of a trap cannot be ruled out."

Fukuyama Castle...

There are many towns of all sizes on Asagiri Island, and Fukuyama Castle is one of them. It is nothing special, just a typical fortress castle from the Warring States period. What is special is that the former lord of the castle was surnamed Fukuyama, and the loyal ninja clan that guarded the Fukuyama family for generations died under the swords of Kirigakure.

Jielu waved his hand and said, "Go down."

The first squad of ninjas withdrew.

Leaning back in his chair with his legs casually propped up on the desk, Jie Luo pondered for a moment, then got up, opened a drawer, and took out five sex-modification masks.

Unlike Kakuzu, the mask doesn't actually kill the person without being worn and without nutrition.

Jieluo's mask, after being transformed by Jieluo's demonic powers, is inherently immune to starvation.

Wind, earth, water, fire, and thunder—all five elements are present.

The masks made from the hearts of five elite Jonin, when combined with their chakra reserves, could barely reach the Kage level. As for Kakuzu, he already possessed a massive amount of chakra.

To be honest, elite Jonin are rare. In the future, we still need to find a way to clone and cultivate a more powerful heart.

Compared to the extra chakra provided by the mask, what Jieluo values more is the mask's ability to transform nature.

With a raised hand, Jieluo tossed up a heart-modified mask. The next second, a cluster of black tentacles burst out from under the mask, forming a miniature black imp with a large head and a small body, about the size of a watermelon.

Compared to Kakuzu in the later stages, Yura hasn't yet created as many Earth Grudge Tentacles, so the masked clones are exceptionally small. When they land on the desk and walk around, their wobbly gait is rather cute.

Jie Luo raised a finger and flicked it, sending the masked clone tumbling through the air on the table before crashing down with a thud.

This size is sufficient. Unlike Kakuzu, Yura does not fight with large-scale ninjutsu, so he does not need a large number of Nether Feather cells to refine a large amount of chakra.

Moreover, the mask after its transformation possesses Yura's immortality, does not have the weakness of needing to frequently replace its heart, and will not lose its ability to fight when severely damaged.

However, the rejection reaction was not resolved. He wouldn't die, but he would get damaged, and then he would have to be repaired, just like when Jieluo was injured.

This is a disease that needs to be cured.

As soon as the imp got up, sixteen invisible, deadly scythes appeared around him in the blink of an eye, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

Currently, Jieluo's dilemma is how to cultivate these little devils' ability to think independently in combat.

Jieluo raised his hand and slapped it onto the imp's mask. The entire mask was pressed against the table, and the tentacles retracted into the mask. Jieluo grabbed the mask, and tentacles emerged from his hand, quickly swallowing the mask into his arm.

Then, a burst of blue lightning flashed across Jieluo's body, and the lightning disappeared after traveling across his body for a moment.

After swallowing the remaining four masks into her body, Jieluo stood up.

"Celestial arts, huh? That's something to look forward to..."

In Yura's plan, magic is also a power that must be mastered.

As Yura pushed open the door and left, the entire Seventh Division was bustling with activity in the office area. As the saying goes, "A large forest has all kinds of birds," and Kirigakure is not lacking in so-called geniuses who can develop ninjutsu. Many of them possess ingenious ideas that are truly eye-catching.

What Jieluo needs to do is select these people, give them resources, and then wait for them to develop mature techniques and reap the rewards.
