Chương 137: I learned from Chapter 137

Cai Zang revealed an expression of "I knew it," and had no intention of competing for anything.

Let alone Jie Luo, there are five people in the village who are stronger than him. No matter how you rank them, they won't be among the top. Not to mention that there will be outstanding successors in the future. If you cultivate a promising disciple, he might even have a chance to compete for the position of Mizukage. At least you have to protect the position you hold until it is handed over to your disciple.

Mito and the others remained calm, showing no surprise at the matter.

The old man Bailian looked at everything before him with satisfaction, then turned to look at Shishi Kagura. Although she didn't agree, she was indeed the successor of his lineage. Without Jieluo, he might have to be careful of this girl's assassination attempts in his later years.

There's nothing left to regret in life.

My era has ended; let the future be entrusted to the young.

"I really want to see what the future Kirigakure will be like..." Byakuren said.

Jieluo turned to look at Bailian and said, "You will see, old man."

"Getting old..." Bai Lian chuckled and shook her head, saying, "Not many years left."

He turned and walked away, preferring to stay in the mission hall and watch the lively scene of the Hidden Mist ninja accepting missions.

Jieluo turned to look at the group of Kirigakure ninja behind him. The Kirigakure ninja all looked at Jieluo with reverence. There was a huge, dark mass of people. When Byakuren left, he did not give the order to disperse. What to do next was not something anyone could decide on their own.

"Little Demon Gai::" Jie Luo said.

"Here!" Lucy leaped out from the crowd, her eyes full of confusion.

"Why did you call me?" Behind her were three little ones: Zhu Yin, Teru Mikoto and Tsukihime both looked at Yura with excitement.

This was the first time they had ever known that their teacher was a powerful ninja who had fought against the God of the Ninja World.

"Take these two cans away, little demon lid~" Upon hearing this, Lucy's expression fell, but she still stepped forward and began to tie the jar. As Lucy approached, she sensed the presence of her companions, and the three-tailed and six-tailed creatures inside the jar became agitated. Seeing this, the three little ones lent a helping hand.

Yura turned to look at the Hidden Mist Villagers, her gaze sweeping over the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Huan Yue's eyes were defiant; he still needed a beating to behave. That day wasn't far off, and Jie Luo would wait for him to be ready before coming to his door.

After a moment, Jie Luo raised one hand and said coldly, "Disperse!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a series of whooshing sounds filled the air. Tens of thousands of ninjas turned into flashing afterimages and quickly disappeared from the square. Lucy, pulling the jar and leading the three little ones, flew away with a huff and puff. In the blink of an eye, only seven people remained on the square.

Jieluo laughed and said, "Everyone, how about we have a meal together and keep an eye on the God of Shinobi's actions while we're at it?"

"According to the rumors, given that man's magnanimity, he shouldn't do anything unusual in the village," Huan Yue said, her hands in her pockets.

"That's his business, not ours," Jieluo laughed.

"Are you going or not?"

"Go!" Huan Yue nodded.

"I just..." Hong Shi Cao said in a muffled voice.

Before she could finish speaking, Mito stomped down, and Akashi Misao wisely shut her mouth.

The Demon Princess didn't hit her, but the Blood-Haired Demon really did beat her up.

"A get-together, huh..." Mito smiled and said, "This is a good opportunity for me to get to know everyone better, since we'll be comrades fighting side by side for the next few decades."

Mito spoke eloquently, skillfully winning people's hearts.

"I have no objection," Cai Cang said coolly, glancing at Huan Yue.

"Look, we're both bosses, but he's aware of the importance of treating people to meals to build relationships, while I have to come to him to even see him."

"Me too," Yuki said.

"But, can I order whatever I want? I can eat a lot."

"Don't worry, order whatever you like." Jieluo said, then looked at Kagura and asked, "Kamikaku, what do you say?"

Shishikagura shook her head and then nodded, her ponytail flying behind her, and said, "Perfect timing, I have something I want to ask you."

thing?

Jie Luo raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Sure," she agreed.

The group of seven walked towards the village below the bridge.

On the Water Shadow Fortress, watching the seven figures disappear into the distance, Bai Lian smiled. With Jie Luo's strength, he could easily suppress everyone in the future, so there was no need to worry about internal strife in the village. However, if Huan Yue was still unwilling to give up, he would be in for a beating.

They hadn't gone far when Mito said, "Hashirama Senju and the others have already checked into the annex."

Jieluo said, "Given Tobirama's perception and the Byakugan's capabilities, they most likely won't leave their residence. Half a day is enough time for them to search the village several times before they finally find their way out. Remember to tell your men to be careful what they say and not to leak any information."

Most of the secrets of the 7th Division are hidden within the barrier, which Tobirama cannot detect.

There are no secrets in the Sixth Division of Phantom Moon; feel free to look around.

A large portion of the village's ninja fighting force is out on missions, and Tobirama won't be able to ascertain the exact number of them in a short time.

Cai Zang nodded and said, "Understood."

"He's looking this way," Mito said.

"Tobirama."

At that moment, Yura looked in Tobirama's direction.

No, not at all...

It would be impolite to do that again.

Just an elegant, slight smile.

I know you're watching me.

"He looked away," Mito asked.

"What was he feeling?"

"How are you feeling..." Jie Luo smiled and said, "Quite heavy. I probably won't sleep well tonight."

"Really?" Mito smiled.

"That's wonderful."

Inside the villa, Tobirama, his face grim, observed the entire situation of Kirigakure and analyzed the conversation between the villagers and the ninja.

Seven squads?

No, there are eight branches. There is also a branch with the largest number of members, ordinary ninjas who are not officially part of the team. They basically take on the village's missions. Since no powerful ninja clans have entered the scene to take over a large number of high-level missions, the remaining low- and mid-level ninjas live quite comfortably and don't have to worry about not having missions.

That's a really clever idea.

In particular, that combat unit not only drained the excess energy of the warlike ninjas, but also removed them from the mission system, thus avoiding the potential for them to cause trouble. Even if they did cause trouble, it would be easier to control them. It was a brilliant idea.

As expected of the First Mizukage who founded the ninja village, he is truly amazing!

This organizational structure also left many ninjas with a path to promotion, enabling them to train diligently and take pride in joining the team.

What's particularly impressive is...

Tobirama squinted, looking towards the training ground, where the Second Division was located, and the ninjas were undergoing large-scale training.

The strategy devised by Tobirama was to train ninja in squads, with experienced captains leading them through real combat.

Well, the results weren't ideal. There was a problem: the captain was secretive, and if you encountered a stingy captain, you basically wouldn't learn anything and could easily get yourself killed. Although it did have the effect of deepening bonds, it was far less effective than this melting pot of a cesspool.

Unfortunately, there was no trustworthy ninja clan in the village, and it would be easy for them to develop into private soldiers trained by the ninja clan. Once a problem arose, it would be a very serious matter.

In the village, the Senju clan is already conspicuous enough and it's not suitable for them to show their faces. If they don't find a way to retire, they will face open and covert purges after they and their elder brother die. The ninja clans in the village are not easy to deal with.

All I can say is that Bai Lian's methods and audacity are superior to mine.

Even more critically, due to the existence of ninja clans, the village could only slowly train civilian ninjas, unable to utilize the numerous small ninja clans and individual ninjas who joined the village and were tacitly suppressed by the major ninja clans. As time went on, Konoha could not compare with Kirigakure in terms of the number of chunin and genin and the intensity of their training.

Is the conflict between villages, major ninja clans, minor ninja clans, lone ninjas, and commoners quickly reduced to a conflict between squads?

This approach of accelerating the integration between ninja clans and villages is truly...

"Wow, that's impressive... a vertical cut..."

I learned something.

"What vertical cut? Tobirama." Hashirama asked, looking at Tobirama.

Tobirama shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
