"Whoa—" Everyone was in an uproar.
"No! That's too dangerous! The Grass Kingdom was destroyed because of the Box of Bliss; we absolutely cannot activate it again!"
The "Flower of Grass" faction tried to stop them, while the "Fruits of Grass" faction cheered and praised their leader's wise decision.
"It should have been like this a long time ago!"
"How can we just leave such a powerful ninja tool as the Box of Bliss to gather dust?"
"Although there were unforeseen circumstances, all sacrifices are worthwhile for the sake of the Grass Country's dominance!"
Seeing that the two factions were about to fight over this matter, Shinnosuke was at his wits' end, feeling that balancing the interests within the village was even more difficult than dealing with an external enemy.
The two sides argued back and forth, but in the end, the result remained the same: they could not reach an agreement.
Shinnosuke had no choice but to compromise again, sighing and waving his hand, "Alright, alright, let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it later."
"That's it, let's disband!"
Seeing that they had once again dispelled their leader's dangerous thoughts, the members of the "Flower of Grass" faction got up and left with satisfaction, while the members of the "Fruits of Grass" faction were indignant, feeling that their own shadow was far too weak.
Perhaps—it's time to get a stronger leader!
Once this idea takes hold, it is difficult for many people to shake off.
"Lady Chiyo, intelligence from the Land of Grass says that Uchiha An and his group suddenly appeared in the Land of Grass, caused a great disturbance there, kidnapped a mother and daughter from the Uzumaki clan, and then left. Their destination should be the Land of Rain."
The old woman, Chiyo, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, had a stern face. Upon hearing the intelligence, she didn't waste any words and simply waved her hand, ordering, "Change course and cut into the Land of Grass. Set up an ambush between the two countries and try to stop them before they enter the Land of Rain."
"Yes." The ninja left, and Ebizo, standing beside Chiyo, sighed, "Originally, I considered that Rasa had succeeded as Kazekage and needed achievements to secure his position, so I sent him to lead the attack on Konoha. Who knew—sigh!"
"If I had known it would end up like this, I would have preferred to have you lead the team, sister!"
"It's no use saying all this now." Granny Chiyo got up and came out of the ambush site. Looking at the distant sky, she sighed, "The Kazekage can't be changed too frequently. We can only switch him back now."
"But the opponent is an Uchiha like Madara, with Susanoo! Just hearing about it is terrifying!"
Ebizo, rubbing his aching back, climbed down from the tree and carefully collected all the puppets he had laid in ambush. He weakly rolled his eyes and grumbled, "It's a pity Bunpuku died. The new Jinchuriki is too young to be used yet. Otherwise, the Tailed Beast Ball should have been able to break through Susanoo's defenses."
Grandma Chiyo, upon hearing this, angrily reached out and hit her younger brother on the head, yelling, "Are you senile?"
"What were you thinking, using a tailed beast to fight the Uchiha?"
"Do you deliver vegetables to people?"
"Oops, you hit me again," Ebizo complained, but didn't take it seriously, and simply asked, "Then, sister, do you have a way to deal with Susanoo?"
"What else can we do? Just throw our lives at it!" Granny Chiyo said expressionlessly. "Even Madara Uchiha couldn't fight an entire ninja village alone back then, let alone a mere Uchiha An!"
"Anyway, we're both so old, there's nothing we can't let go of. Dying on the battlefield is much better than dying in a hospital bed."
Ebizo sighed, his long white eyebrows twitching, and he became increasingly listless.
"That's true. I've been having more and more trouble moving around lately, so while I can still move, I'll do one last contribution for the village!"
"I wonder what will happen to Sunagakure after we die?"
"There's a sense of things a bit of a transitional period!"
Grandma Chiyo, on the contrary, took it all in stride.
"What the future holds is for those children to worry about; it's not our place to concern ourselves with it. We just need to do our best in our final shift."
Soon, the ambushers from all directions had assembled, and Granny Chiyo waved her hand, and the group formed ranks and quickly advanced towards the Land of Grass.
"Can't it be used? Why?" An looked at Hiruko with a puzzled expression.
Hiruko rolled her eyes dramatically and said irritably, "Look at all those teeth marks on her body!"
"She has been used as a blood bank for who knows how many years, and now she is suffering from tuberculosis and other serious injuries, and her vital essence is greatly damaged."
"I need to absorb bloodline limit ninjas who are at their peak, not just anyone!"
"Otherwise, I would have absorbed Kakashi back then. Why would I have had to wait so many years for him?"
"Tsk!" An said disdainfully after hearing this, "Isn't your 'Ghost Sprout Technique' supposed to be about fusing genes and bloodlines?"
"So what if you get injured? Your genes won't be ruined."
"Will it affect your fusion results?"
"Hmph! There's no point in talking to an illiterate like you!" Hiruko snorted coldly, looking impatient. "I'm too lazy to explain to you."
"Human genes and chakra influence each other. Strong chakra will naturally strengthen human genes, and vice versa."
Even with the same genes, there are differences in strength.
"Just like you Uchiha—"
"It's our Uchiha!" An immediately interrupted, emphasizing the point.
Hiruko ignored him and continued, "The Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha and the One-Tomoe Uchiha have the same genes, but the strength of their genes is worlds apart."
"If you could absorb a Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha, why would you bother absorbing a One-Tomoe Uchiha?"
"In short, I now want to bring the 'Oni-Garuda Technique' to its perfect state, so everything must be done in the best way possible."
"The ninja world isn't just left with just those two Uzumaki clan members. I didn't know the Uzumaki clan was what's called the Sage Body before," but now that I do, I can easily post notices on the black market to find better Uzumaki ninjas. There's no need to waste this opportunity here."
An frowned and thought for a moment. It seemed that the genes in the ninja world were indeed not very stable. It seemed that various transplants, fusions, and enhancements could be performed at will. And the universal adhesive was chakra.
It can be said that anything illogical can immediately become reasonable once chakra is used.
From this perspective, the materials used for fusion in "Oni-Garuru Technique" must indeed be selected from the best, choosing those with the highest strength.
As for Karin's mother, a member of the Vortex Clan, she was indeed a defective product that was half-broken, and it was really not worth using her for absorption.
