Chapter 194 Preparation for the Storm

Speaking of the second generation's forbidden techniques.
For Konoha, it is a magical existence that is 'kept secret, but not completely kept secret'.
If we consider the importance and degree of danger, then it must be kept strictly confidential. Whether it is taken or used, it must go through layers of review and approval before it can be used. It is a "big killer weapon".
But in fact, almost since the second generation passed away, this "sealed scroll" recording the second generation's forbidden techniques has been used for various reasons.
Some are officially allowed - for example, they can only be opened with the approval of the Hokage or higher-ups.
There are also those who take advantage of their position or special secret techniques to illegally "borrow" books without anyone noticing.
In fact, many people have done this.
From Danzo Shimura who has been swept into the dustbin of history, to Orochimaru, the beloved disciple of the third generation.
There are also some who are ready to use the above technology to defect to other ninja villages as a token of their allegiance - of course, this is only a small part.
And among this small number, the vast majority fail.
After all, Konoha is one of the five major ninja villages, and it still has the necessary defensive forces.
But like all things there are no absolutes.
Occasionally there will still be one or two lucky people who succeed - this is why some techniques that were supposed to belong only to Konoha have now become common ninjutsu for ninjas all over the world.
However, even if we do this, only a few people can succeed.
It is not certain that you will encounter such a person in three to five years, so Konoha has not specially invested security forces in this regard.
One reason is that most people in Konoha don't actually know that such a thing exists.
Another reason is... the reason these things are forbidden techniques, in addition to being extremely powerful (or requiring great sacrifices), is because they are too difficult.
That's really hard.
It is difficult for most people to learn or even remember what they have seen.
What's more, Konoha is not completely without any defense at all.
From the time you get it to the time you open it to study (or snatch it away), those who are slow may not even finish reading the above explanation, let alone learn it.
But what about people who are really smart - like Orochimaru or the Nara family, who are born with good brains.
Even if you ignore these, he is still the pillar of the village and has considerable say.
Of course, there is no need to go for one or two things.
Take the risk.
So in general.
The forbidden scrolls of the second generation exist for the purpose of safekeeping rather than confidentiality.
But no matter what, this thing is also Konoha's secret.
So when the custody office discovered something was wrong, they reported it immediately.
What follows is a series of investigations, evidence collection, and tracking of traces.
The strange answer is that apart from discovering that it had been tampered with, people could not find any trace of the intruder - it was as if he appeared out of thin air and then disappeared out of thin air.
Faced with this incredible investigation result.
The ninjas who participated in it all had toothache expressions on their faces.
If there is really no foul play here - such as someone is covering up for the crime or stealing from an employer.
This would be a truly bizarre incident.
"... Could it be that?"
A Konoha ninja who was involved in the investigation suddenly shuddered.
"What is that?"
His companion looked back in confusion.
I have absolutely no idea what he is trying to say.
"It's the one, the one... without feet." The person who spoke first gestured as if he was afraid of something.
"What do you mean by no feet? What are you talking about?"
"It's the wronged ghost of Uchiha Madara!"
Seeing that his companion refused to understand, he gave up struggling and cried out in despair.
"Hasn't there always been this kind of legend? It says that Uchiha Madara's body is actually hidden somewhere in Konoha, and his unwilling ghost has been wandering around Konoha."
When something happens that cannot be explained by common sense, people will naturally think about things that are unreasonable.
Because it doesn't conform to common sense, then people's common sense can't work on it, right?
A trace of silence flashed across his companion's face.
"If nothing else, if his ghost is really here, why didn't he come out earlier?"
"It must be because Danzo-sama and the Third-daite were present at the time. They were the Second-daite's disciples. Uchiha Madara was afraid of the First-daite and the Second-daite, so he naturally didn't dare to act rashly in front of the Second-daite's disciples..."
The man spoke seriously, as if he really felt that his judgment was reasonable and well-founded.
But his companion rolled his eyes.
"Wake up, then
But Uchiha Madara."
If that were the case, there wouldn't have been any chance of running away back then.
Things about Uchiha Madara were too far away for them.
The ups and downs of that man were legends to them.
...But no matter how you look at it, it's ridiculous that Uchiha Madara's ghost is haunting the place.
"Isn't Uchiha Madara also..."
"What is that? Have you ever seen an Uchiha be afraid of anyone?"
...It seems so.
The man who spoke at the beginning blinked and seemed convinced.
The two searched around a few more times, but seeing that they did not find any more information, they had no choice but to leave and report back.
The higher-ups of Konoha could only show a look of annoyance at this .
It was impossible not to continue investigating. After all, these were forbidden techniques left by the second generation, and some of them were very lethal. If someone abused them, something bad would happen.
“I will continue to pay attention to this matter.”
Namikaze Minato interrupted people's discussion.
"Only two members of the original investigation team will be retained to take turns. The others should return to their original positions."
He took a deep breath.
"Next we have to prepare for the dubbing auditions - we can't just let the selected contestants prepare on their own.
If you want, we will cooperate with you.”
We need to fight for the venue.
But the contestants are equally important - after all, if one gets a dubbing job for an important role, the name of his or her own ninja village can also be promoted later.
"Understood. We will definitely cooperate with the relevant work."
They are also paying attention to this major event and naturally know its importance.
After all, this matter involved Konoha's secrets and was not passed on.
But Minato Namikaze did not take it lightly.
He even brought the second generation's forbidden scroll to his office for safekeeping.
——This is a practice that comes and goes without a trace.
He always felt that it seemed somewhat familiar.
Although the Second Hokage was very famous, the Forbidden Technique Scroll was something that even most of the people of Konoha themselves were unaware of, so this incident did not cause much of a stir.
Instead, the news about the contestants sparked heated discussions everywhere.
Because the selection is entirely based on registration, many unexpected people are selected.
The situation of "My ordinary neighbor actually has this talent!?" occurs frequently.
People gathered around the contestants.
Maybe it's curiosity, or maybe it's encouragement.
Even if they are neighbors/relatives/classmates who you don’t contact very often, they are still your fellow townspeople.
To round it off, my favorite character will be voiced by someone from my hometown!
Then I am also proud of it.
So no matter how popular you were in the past.
At this moment, all the one hundred candidates suddenly became popular and became famous figures far and wide.
——For example, the Luosha family.
Because of Rasa's serious and dull personality, even with the complement of Karuta, their family has never been considered to have particularly good people in the Sand Village.
Besides, the people of Sand Village aren't that fond of communication, and they don't often visit each other unless necessary.
So on weekdays, the Rasa household was quite peaceful - except when Temari and Kankuro fought.
The older the child gets, the more active he becomes.
The two siblings were originally about the same age, and neither of them was convinced by the other. In addition, they both went to ninja schools, so it was inevitable that they would have some friendly "sparring" at home.
Compared with his older brothers and sisters who fight from time to time, the youngest Gaara has always been the quiet one with little presence.
This certainly doesn't mean that he is not valued at home.
It's just that he is not so noticeable compared to his two older brothers and sisters.
But he is such a quiet, worry-free and usually silent child.
But at this time, big news broke.
He went to participate in the dubbing audition.
Accompanied by his uncle Yashamaru, he successfully went to the venue of the Wind Country and completed the audition. He also passed the layers of selection and became one of the final 100 people.
As the news came out, it instantly caused a sensation in the entire Sand Village.
Regardless of the closeness or good or bad of their past relationship, people flocked to Luo Sha's house to support this 'contestant who came out of his own home'.
It felt like someone's child got admitted to a top university.
No matter they came to express their parents' pride or to share in the academic atmosphere (joy), they all gathered happily.
As a result, the Rasa family has become the most popular family in the Sand Village recently.
However, regarding this matter, the two people as parents and the
Temari and Kankuro, the elder sister and brother, were still in shock.
My son/my brother…is he a celebrity now?
The two parents looked at each other.
They all knew that Yashamaru took Gaara out.
After all, as a parent, it was impossible for Yashamaru not to say hello to them.
But, but they didn’t expect it to be such a big deal.
They thought they were just going out for some fun - Gaara was still young, and Karura and Rasa were often not at home due to work.
Temari and Kankuro are older and can take care of themselves. Besides, they are not far from the age to attend ninja school, so at worst they can be sent to the school earlier.
But Gaara is not good enough.
So for quite a long time, Gaara was left to Yashamaru.
Yashamaru was indeed very close to Gaara, and they would often spend the night together or go out to play together.
I never expected that this uncle and nephew would make such big news without saying a word.
As a parent, am I really not caring enough?
I didn't know Gaara had such talent.
The couple had mixed feelings, including guilt, surprise and pride.
Temari and Kankuro's situation is much simpler.
First I was shocked.
Then came the surprise.
My brother actually went to the audition! And he passed! A chance to voice one of our two favorite works???
I must be dreaming!
If there weren't so many people, they would even want to dance to express their happiness.
The two of them, who already loved this quiet brother who was completely different from his sister (another brother), now had the same idea.
'My brother is awesome!'
'One of my favorite characters could be my brother! How could this happen?'
"Humph, that's no big deal. You might get rejected next time."
——Of course, there are some people who disagree.
There are always some people in the world who like to sing a different tune when others are happy.
This time too, when everyone was happily saying that their Sand Village might become the hometown of the protagonist's voice-over in the future.
Several young people with expressions of envy or jealousy on their faces
People gathered together and started to talk weirdly.
"That's right. It seems like what you said really came true. Don't come back in disgrace when the time comes."
"That's ridiculous."
"That's right, if you ask me, then...ah!"
The last person to take over the conversation had only said half of his words when he felt a sudden pain in his waist.
Then he turned around and saw a girl with light yellow hair and a boy with black hair standing beside him, looking at him with sinister eyes.
Before he had time to think about who these two little brats were, he found that his companions, who had just been having fun with him and making sarcastic remarks to gain happiness, had fallen to the ground in various strange shapes.
Some were foaming at the mouth, and some had a fist-sized bump on their head.
The young man swallowed and covered his still aching waist.
"Aren't you happy to say bad things about someone's brother? Why don't you say it anymore?"
The girl in the lead stood there with her legs apart and her hands on her hips.
Although he was hit by many more words than him, his momentum was far superior to his.
"If you ask me, wouldn't it be better to just knock him out and drag him out?"
The boy behind the little girl said in a slow voice.
Following his voice, a wooden puppet beside him also moved, probably in the position of a 'hand', and it grabbed the foot of a person lying on the ground.
It looked like they were going to drag the person away on the spot.
youth:"……"
It hurts just to imagine it.
Then, before he could speak, he heard the girl say:
"What do you know? This is called staying... er..."
The girl seemed to have forgotten the words and stammered for a long time.
Then he slapped his forehead:
"By the way, leave him alive!"
“That’s it!”
“But we didn’t kill them…”
The black-haired boy spoke again.
Then we can't use the word 'alive' to describe it, right?
After all, they are not dead.
"Anyway, that's what I mean. How do you talk to your sister?"
As she said this, she slapped her brother in the face.
The slap almost made Kankuro fall to the ground.
Seeing that her brother had stopped trying to talk, she looked at the only guy still standing in the corner.
These people probably knew that they were saying bad things about others, so they chose a very hidden position, which made it convenient for Temari and Kankuro to take action.
"You, listen to me."
Perhaps she felt that it was not impressive to talk while standing like that, so she raised her leg and kicked the wall beside the young man.
"If you dare to say bad things about my brother, I will never forgive you."
"If I hear anyone say bad things about my brother again, I will ask for your help!"
The young man blinked, then hunched over and shouted:
“That’s not fair!”
"Why should we be blamed for others' bad words?"
Is this reasonable?
"Now that you have been caught by us."
Temari raised her chin.
Kankuro, who had regained his footing behind him, curled his lips and moved his fingers.
As he moved, the crude wooden puppet grabbed the feet of the person who had fainted on the ground and dragged him forward about ten centimeters.
Although the distance it was dragged away was not far, it was enough to prove the fact that 'it is more than enough to drag you away'.
As for whether they were dragging away a living person or a 'corpse'...that was another matter.
Looking at his companion lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, the young man swallowed nervously.
He no longer dared to shout about fairness or unfairness.
He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible... and then slap himself twice.
Let you talk dirty.
You have to be sarcastic.
Now you're getting your comeuppance.
"Then, I'll try my best..."
It's not that he didn't know what the girl meant, but he felt that this was really a difficult method for him.
If others say bad things about you, it will be attributed to them. Isn't this just asking them to correct those who say bad things or are sarcastic?
This is too difficult. How could people listen to their advice for no reason?
"Just trying?"
"Of course... No, not hard work, we will definitely do it!"
Of course, he didn't want to say it so absolutely.
However, looking at the girl's slowly raised fist and the puppet strings in the boy's hands moving again.
He had no choice but to be absolute.
Definitely, there is always a future.
Not absolutely. I’m afraid I’ll have to explain it here today.
Hearing this, Temari retracted
The foot kicked the wall.
Then he nodded with satisfaction, turned and left.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard the last conversation between the two men.
"I said we should leave one alive."
"I've already told you that they're not alive... But then again, what if they don't do as I say?"
"Then find them all and beat them up again."
Listening to the girl saying such horrible words in such an understatement.
The young man swallowed again, this time without any hope at all.
They say they’re going to settle accounts with someone—and they really are going to settle accounts with someone!
Apart from the parties involved, no one knows what the brother and sister did during their short absence.
Only Gaara, who was the core of the crowd at this moment, looked over curiously.
"Why did you just come back?"
Didn’t you say you were just going out to buy some things?
"Also, didn't you say you were going out to buy soy sauce? Where's the soy sauce?"
"ah……"
The two looked at each other and suddenly remembered the excuse they had made when they took action earlier.
"Soy sauce."
"As for soy sauce, we suddenly remembered that we had a bottle at home, so we came back."
"Right! That's it...Ah, Gaara, do you want some water? You're preparing for battle now, so you must protect your throat!"
The two quickly changed the subject.
Things passed like this, but the atmosphere in the Sand Village remained quite harmonious for a long time afterwards.
Not everyone is praising me, but at least no one is saying bad things about me behind my back.
——Legend has it that there is a group of people.
They hid everywhere.
Whenever someone says something bad about Gaara from the Sand Village, he will immediately jump out and punish them.
However, the identities of these people remained a mystery until the end.
They are probably a group of really kind people who do good things but don’t want to be famous.
"Ms. Yu Yue is still worried about the venue?"
At Yuyue Store, Yuyue, the decision maker, was rarely in a dilemma.
In fact, it is of course the easiest and most convenient to find partners such as the five major ninja villages who frequently cooperate and have already formed a set of procedures.
But while old partners are important, how to develop new partners or new projects may also be very important.
So if possible, Yu Yue actually hopes to open up some new venues and projects.
——Of course, transportation is also a consideration.
Although the five major ninja villages may have larger and more complete venues, if you are not going there for tourism but just want to participate in and watch a game.
After all, the distance from the Land of Earth to the Land of Water, or from the Land of Wind to the Land of Thunder, is indeed a bit difficult.
Yu Yue thinks convenient transportation is also a reference factor.
Of course, another factor is that the small ninja village is more sincere and has more room to play.
For example, Kusagakure Village stated that it could use its own secret techniques to build a unique venue made of "Kusagakure Village Ninjutsu".
The Hidden Rain Village even said that they could cooperate in developing technology to stop the rain.
Although it is not certain whether this technology can actually do it.
but……
A place where it has been raining suddenly clears up because of a game, revealing a rainbow and so on... Doesn't this sound romantic?
A race accompanied by a rainbow sounds like a good sign.
"yes."
Yu Yue put down her pen and leaned back, leaning herself against the back of her chair.
"After all, the palms and backs of your hands are made of flesh."
It’s really difficult to decide which one to choose and which one not to choose.
Uchiha Shisui looked at her distressed expression and touched his chin.
"Then Miss Yu Yue, would you like to try to go on a field trip?"
Noticing Ugetsu's gaze, the boy tilted his head and smiled slightly:
"The five major ninja villages are all old acquaintances, but Miss Ugetsuki hasn't visited the Kusagakure Village and the Rain Village yet, right?"
"After going to see and compare, it should be able to better help Miss Yu Yue make this decision."
The boy looked at Yu Yue with gentle and focused eyes.
The suggestions made were also sincerely for her own good.
Since I'm stuck in the office, I can only feel miserable.
So why not get out and relax?
Maybe inspiration will come and you won’t have to worry about it anymore.
——It doesn’t matter even if the problem is still not solved.
At least during this period of time, Miss Yu Yue can relax a little.
"Then how..."
Yu Yue just subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Not to mention whether she could leave as a leader, just the trip would take a lot of time.
If you make a decision at that time, Party B will be holding a knife to your neck.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Yu Yue found that he was still trapped in empiricism.
To finish three months' work in three weeks is of course a fantasy for an ordinary Party B, and the Party B will stab a vampire and scold him.
But this is the world of ninja.
It is normal for them to finish three months' work in three weeks!
Even compared to the past orders from the Ninja Village that required people to sacrifice their lives at any time, Yu Yue felt that his actions were not considered difficult.
It is obvious that the leaders of the ninja village are more terrifying.
So even if you just go out for a walk by yourself, there is still enough time.
Yu Yue admitted that she was moved.
"Then let's act quickly."
She said and stood up.
"After all, time waits for no one."
Life needs some spontaneous trips!
Yu Yue was happy.
But if you ask the ninja villages that are about to welcome the Ugetsu expedition team, are they all happy about this...
That's not necessarily the case. !
