Kikyo and I are of one mind

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Nara Shikahisa nodded, "The Priestess Kikyo agreed to provide props including medical bandages, but due to production issues, she cannot supply them in large quantities. After discussion, she decided to open a shop similar to ninja tools. It is a more reasonable choice for the public sale of the store."

"What about the formula?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi knew that it was impossible for the other party to come up with the formula when he heard this answer, but he still asked.

"Recipe..." Shikahisa Nara shook his head, and said helplessly, "This, in fact, there is no formula at all."

"What do you mean?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi trusted Nara Shikahisa's intelligence very much, and because of this, he didn't think that the other party would easily believe the answer of "there is no formula".

"Master Hokage, Kikyo Priestess is an exorcist priestess from Musashi Kingdom. The so-called healing bandages are actually demonized bandages." Nara Shikahisa said helplessly that he himself thought it was a bit unbelievable answer:

"To put it simply, Musashi's technology is different from ours. If the ninja system is based on chakra, then Musashi's system seems to be based on monsters and souls. They use the power of the soul to destroy or enslave monsters. This kind of bandage is actually produced by Kikyo Miko's shikigami."

"Shikigami?" Hokage III chewed on this word, and frowned slightly. Nara Shikajiu thought that what he said was too mysterious, so he explained:

"Although things like ghosts like shikigami cannot be seen under normal circumstances, the Nara clan's secret practice is to escape chakra (spiritual energy), so they can see her shikigami, which is a half-human, half-spider monster. The so-called medical bandages are spun from the spider silk of this monster."

"I see, you go down first... Well, I'll think about the store." Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved his hand, and Shikahisa Nara immediately turned around and left Hokage's office. When the door closed, Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly bit his finger. After several consecutive seals, an ape with a height of more than two meters appeared beside him.

"Hokage office? Sarutobi, what do you want me for?" The ape demon looked at the surrounding environment, and immediately said with a little dissatisfaction.

Sarutobi Hirzen grabbed a peach from the table and threw it to the ape demon, and then said:

"I want to ask you something."

The ape demon "Crack!" bit off half of a peach in one bite, and then asked a little strangely, "What do you want to inquire about?"

"About youkai and shikigami." Hiruzaru Sarutobi replied.

"Monster...that's an old name, why are you interested in this?" The ape demon leaned against the wall, as if waiting for the other party's answer.

"Recently, a shrine maiden came to Konoha. It is said that she is an exorcist shrine maiden from Musashi Kingdom. She can make a kind of medical bandage with good effect by commanding shikigami." Hiruzaru Sarutobi briefly introduced the situation, and the ape demon nodded road:

"There are indeed many monsters in the Musashi Kingdom. Exorcist witches, mages, and demon masters are very popular. They are a bit like ninjas before the Warring States Period. Each has a different inheritance. The weaker ones are not even as good as Genin. But among them, the powerful ones can kill hundreds of monsters with one blow, such as Cuizi 800 years ago, Kikyo 40 years ago..."

"Wait a minute, you said Kikyo?" The third generation interrupted the memory of the ape demon. A few minutes ago, he heard for the first time from Nara Shikaku that the maiden was called Kikyo!

"That's right, Kikyo, the exorcist witch who was active in Musashi 40 years ago, and the guardian of the jade of the four souls, is born with superhuman spiritual power. No matter how powerful the monster is, she can kill it with just one blow. No monster that has seen Kikyo can survive. I heard that her younger sister is also a very powerful guy. After more than 30 years, she still looks like a teenage girl. She doesn't seem to age at all..."

The ape demon babbled about the information he got from other monsters. Although the relationship between psychic beasts and monsters sounds strange, in fact, these psychic beasts, to put it bluntly, reached an agreement with ninjas through psychic contracts. The yokai who made a deal.

Compared with those monsters that eat people, they are obviously smarter. Chakra has both life energy and spiritual energy.

With the support of Chakra, the psychic beasts have achieved growth beyond that of ordinary monsters. The only disadvantage is that it is difficult for psychic beasts supported by Chakra to give birth to individuals at the level of big demons.

Sarutobi Hiruza didn't know what the ape demon was thinking, he just reached out and took out the document about the witch, and handed the photo on it to the ape demon:

"The Kikyo Miko you're talking about, is this the person?"

"Even if you give me a picture, I don't know! After all, I haven't really seen her, and I heard that what happened to Kikyo more than 30 years ago, and then disappeared with the jade of the four souls..." The ape demon waved his hand, looking like a passerby who had only heard of it but never seen it.

Sarutobi Hiruza had no choice but to pass the photo to Yuan Modao:

"Then do you know the youkai who have seen Kikyo?"

"Acquaintance is acquaintance, but after seeing her, they all died." The ape demon scratched the monkey hair on his face, took the photo and said, "However, there are a few alive who have seen her sister. I will go and ask you."

After finishing speaking, the ape demon turned into a puff of thick smoke and disappeared with a bang.

Hiruza Sarutobi watched the ape demon disappear, but his heart was quite complicated. Why did the strongest shrine maiden who was active 40 years ago come to the Land of Fire?

Could it be that she was really just going on a full neon cruise and just happened to be here?

Although it is not impossible, but as a Hokage, Hiruzaru Sarutobi cannot think with such a simple way of thinking.

However, from the perspective of interests, if this witch came to Konoha for some kind of benefit, what does she want?

The systems of shrine maidens and ninjas are obviously different, so the purpose of the other party is naturally not Konoha's ninjutsu. The other party is only one person, and naturally it is not for the land. The other party uses a fairly low price for free consultations. Even the medical bandages that Tsunade was amazed at were only sold for 200 taels, obviously not for wealth.

Then what is she for?

Hiruzaru Sarutobi squeezed the space between his eyebrows, he felt that the ape demon left a bit early, he should ask first, what are the things that a shrine maiden is usually interested in...

ps1: The original Jade of the Four Souls was cremated and burned together with Kikyo. According to the original settings, the Jade of the Four Souls is not indestructible, or it is often destroyed, but it will reappear every time it is destroyed.

Opening of Chapter 30

Muye Village is very large, with a population of more than [-], it would not be an exaggeration to call it a city in this era.

Muye Village is very small. In this small village with only a few square kilometers of residential area (within the wall), the slightest disturbance will spread everywhere immediately.

On the second day after Feng Xue came to Konoha Village, the ninja families in Konoha Village basically knew that Hokage had pulled a shrine maiden from outside to open a ninja shop, and even those with a little relationship knew that Tsunade had pulled her back.

Although the shop opened silently, it was like a thunderbolt to ninjas, especially ninjas with a certain family background.

For ordinary villagers, having an extra ninja shop in the village does not seem to be as topical as having an extra restaurant, but for these ninjas, this is definitely not a trivial matter.

Konoha has many shops that produce ninja tools. In terms of high-quality products, there are Hatake’s knives; in terms of mass production, there are kunai and shurikens directly imported from the Iron Country; even for odd weapons, there are many blacksmiths in Konoha Village who can make them, while the medicine is completely monopolized by Ishikacho.

In this case, how can a miko get a prosperous shop in Konoha that is close to the Hokage office building?

There is a limit to the purchasing power of ninjas. The number of active ninjas in Konoha Village is only a few thousand.

Nara Shikahisa knows some of the reasons behind this, but he can't say it. As a think tank, he knows exactly where he should stand, even if it's something that he can know at a glance, as long as Hokage doesn't speak, then this matter can't come out of his mouth.

However, the trinity of pigs and butterflies, the two families saw that Nara Shikahisa looked like an old god, so they ignored it and did their own things with peace of mind, but their silence made other families even more curious.

After all, Ikacho has been an ally of the Sarutobi family since the Warring States Period, and it is normal for Hokage to decide to support them.

Finally, the first explorer appeared.

……

Feng Xue looked at the first guest with some surprise. To be honest, he was quite surprised. He originally thought that the first guest would be Tsunade or the third generation's direct descendants, or that pervert from Jiraiya, or a businessman or ninja who also ran the business of ninja tools. He even considered Orochimaru.

But it was Uchiha who appeared in sight now.

"What do you have here?" The Uchiha ninja who entered the door glanced at the furnishings in the hall, but his expression was a little strange.

Unlike ordinary ninja shops that are filled with various weapons and ninja tools, here are all kinds of puppet parts, and on the counter, there are some clothes and bandages that don't look special. It's hard to understand why such things open a shop.

In fact, Uchiha has no interest in ninja tools, because they have always traded with the ninja cat clan. The reason why he was sent here is mainly because the clan needs to know what the three generations are thinking.

Since Uchiha Kagami's early death, Konoha's rejection of Uchiha has become more and more obvious, but the Uchiha clan has no idea of ​​rebellion at this time, they are more inclined to make contributions on the battlefield, and then run for the position of Hokage, no matter how bad it is, they must also establish a good relationship with the next generation of Hokage.

After all, the third generation is over fifty years old. Although the strength is still strong, it cannot avoid the influence of aging. If it is not expected, the end of this war will be the time for the new Hokage to take office.

At that time, even if the Uchiha clan cannot serve as Hokage, they can establish a relationship with the new Hokage. The current Hokage candidates, whether it is Jiraiya or Orochimaru, have no prejudice against the Uchiha clan from the third generation.

But there is a premise for all of this, that is, before the Third Hokage steps down, it must be stabilized.

Therefore, no matter what decision the third generation made, Uchiha must investigate clearly, otherwise, it is easy to be put together by this bad old man.

"Medical bandages, Chakra-attributed equipment, and prosthetic limbs." Feng Xue said, picked up a price list from the side and put it on the counter, signaling the Uchiha ninja with the Uchiha fan family emblem to read it for himself.

"200 taels of healing bandages?" Uchiha Kiyoyu raised his eyebrows, and continued to look down, but saw some strange entries. He thought that the so-called Chakra attribute equipment of this witch was the kind of Chakra metal weapon that can enhance the efficiency of Chakra transmission. But seeing the price list that included masks, wrist guards, and gloves, and the high price of at least 20 taels behind, he couldn't help frowning:

"What are your Chakra Gloves (Thunder) and Chakra Mask (Fire)?"

"As the name suggests, it is a prop that can assist the wearer to change the nature of chakra. The mask is suitable for breathing ninjutsu, while the gloves are for grasping ninjutsu. If you are good at ninjutsu, you can choose shoes and jacket lining. Each piece of equipment can be activated with your own chakra. It can last for a year in normal use, and can last for a month in intense battles. In addition, those prosthetics also have the same characteristics, but last longer, and can be directly equipped with ninjutsu." Feng Xue briefly introduced the equipment made by egoism. Zhibo Qingliu's face was full of disbelief.

Chakra attribute change is a very high-end application. Generally, it is something that can only be mastered by Jonin. Even if the Uchiha family is naturally compatible with flames, it will take years of polishing to learn the nature change. And these simple equipment can do this?

Is 20 taels more?For civilians, this money can allow a family to live affluently for two years, but for ninjas, it is actually the reward for four C-level missions or one B-level mission.

Is it worth it to exchange this little money for a year's change in nature?But any experienced ninja would nod, not to mention life-saving on the battlefield, even if it is used as a reference when the nature of practice changes, this thing is worth the price!

The question is, is this functionality really possible?

Uchiha Qingliu frowned, and then said:

"Can I try it?"

"Gloves and wrist guards are fine, but masks and linings are not." As soon as Feng Xue said the words, Uchiha Qingliu immediately said:

"Please give me a glove with a fire attribute change."

Chapter 31 Regaining the Rookie

Uchiha Kiyoliu left the ninja house and went straight to the Konoha Guard. With the footsteps of a ninja, she was already standing in the guard captain's office after only a few minutes.

"Is there any problem with that ninja shop?" Uchiha Fugaku asked directly without saying anything.

"Very powerful." Qingliu didn't know how to describe it, so he could only take out a one-handed mitt from his bag and put it on Fuyue's desk.

"What do you mean very powerful?" Fu Yue picked up the glove. Although the material felt a bit strange, it didn't seem to have too strong defensive power.

"This kind of glove can endow Chakra with fire attribute changes. The same kind includes masks, wrist guards, shoes, etc. Various attribute changes can also be selected. There is also this kind of medical bandage that can continuously release medical chakra within three months. There are also various prosthetic limbs equipped with many strange functions, but those things are too expensive and need to be transplanted on the spot, so there is no experiment..."

Uchiha Kiyoshi talked about what he saw and heard in that ninja shop like a cannonball, like an elementary school student showing off to his friends what big scene he saw.

The same thing happened among the big and small ninjas, and then, in the afternoon of that day, all the more than [-] pieces of various equipment that Feng Xue had prepared had been sold out.

People from major families continued to scan the goods, and civilian ninjas slowly began to know about this ninja shop.

Civilian ninjas don't have so many family secret arts, and there are very few ninjutsu other than the three-body art. The attribute equipment is not very meaningful to them. On the contrary, high-quality and cheap medical bandages are the most suitable products for them.

However, this sweeping behavior did not last long. After about a week, the transaction volume began to drop significantly. After all, whether it is attribute equipment or medical bandages, they still have a shelf life after all, so there is no need to stock up.

But at this time, both family ninjas and civilian ninjas began to pay attention to those prosthetic limbs that had never been sold.

The effects of other ninja tools are indeed excellent, and everyone naturally has expectations for these prosthetics, but no matter how exaggerated you are, no one will chop off a hand just to test your ninja tools, right?If your stuff is not as good as you said, wouldn't it be a scam?

However, ninjas are also human beings, and they also worry about the possibility of injury and disability, so everyone is waiting for a ninja who is willing to try prosthetics to appear.

This kind of waiting is not long. As a high-risk professional, the proportion of ninjas with disabilities is not low. Soon, a ninja who lost an arm came to the ninja shop under the persuasion of "a certain" family.

"That, that, I want to install a prosthetic limb." The young man with an empty right arm walked into the store with a slightly tangled tone, as if he had some kind of hope, but at the same time he was very worried that this hope would be wiped out.

As an ordinary civilian ninja, Sakurami Yuki only graduated from school after the Second Ninja World War. He never experienced any big storms along the way. He was doing ordinary tasks until he lost his right hand in a skirmish with sand ninja half a year ago.

He was content with saving his life, even though he could only do some simple D-level tasks to make ends meet, it was better than dying.

It's just that now, I don't know if it's hope or a prank opportunity, it appears in front of him...

"The right arm including the shoulder joint? Eight million taels." Feng Xue glanced at the young man and quoted an astronomical price for him, but he took it out.

Is it worth 800 million taels for an arm?Of course it's worth it, but that's not something that a commoner ninja like him can think about. Therefore, when those family ninjas came to him and offered him money for the experiment, he immediately agreed. But, can it really succeed?

Sakurami Yuki looked at the miko in front of him and roughly measured the length of his arm, and took out the five crude prosthetic limbs that looked like wood, bone, steel wire and cloth splicing, and he was inevitably disappointed.

"Choose one you like." Feng Xue lined up the five prosthetic hands one by one and said:

"Ninja prosthetic hands at this price are all standard configurations. The difference is that each comes with different chakra attributes. In addition, if chakra conductive metal can be provided, private customization is also supported."

"No, no need, just... well, just the wind attribute." Seeing Yugui hesitated for a moment, Sakura made a choice, not because he was good at wind escape, but—his hand was crushed by wind escape.

"Take off your shirt." Feng Xue picked up the ninja hand with the turquoise logo, tore off the cloth strip wrapped around the shoulder joint at the end of the arm, and waited for the young man in front of him to move.

Looking at Feng Xue's indifferent eyes, like a butcher's staring at a piece of meat, the young man shuddered slightly, but thinking of the reward that family ninja gave him, he swallowed his saliva and unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his healed right shoulder.

pain!

Sakurami Yuki's eyes suddenly opened wide, a pain erupted from his left shoulder as if a muscle had been cut by a sharp knife, he instinctively wanted to struggle, but his body was as immobile as a bug in amber.

It seemed that there were cold knives coming in and out of his body, but soon, Sakurami Yuki slowly began to numb. Because of the drug training, the ninja himself has a high tolerance for pain, but soon, he was almost unconscious from the pain just after he became numb.

"I'm connecting your nerves, bear with it." Feng Xueqing's cold voice came into Yingjian Yugui's ears, and the puncture sensation like a rainstorm erupted in an instant, but this time, his pain didn't last too long, within a few breaths, everything was over.

"Okay, don't touch the water for three days, don't use too much force, and the bandage will be removed after three days." Feng Xue used a medical bandage to wrap the ninja prosthetic hand with the excuse of flesh and blood. Although it sounds unbelievable to say that flesh and wood, wood and metal are integrated into one, the double is such a magical thing.

Just like a hot girl can make anything soft, Feng Xue can stitch it together perfectly as long as the two materials are blended into a suture, and even connecting nerves to wood is not impossible— —The premise is to deal with how to convert neural signals into mechanical behavior.

Feng Xue didn't know what Ying Jian Yugui was thinking, but what he knew was that he could feel the existence of the arm. Although there were some differences from the physical arm, he could indeed feel it.

Slightly stretching the fingers, the seemingly crude arm immediately moved, the whole process was so smooth, it didn't look like a prosthetic hand at all.

"This hand is driven by Chakra, but it doesn't consume a lot of energy. There are three mechanisms on it. The first one injected with Chakra can launch a wind escape equivalent to the cracking palm, the second one can protrude a dagger after being triggered, and the third one is a shuriken thrower, which can carry sixteen shurikens. This is the instruction manual." Sakurami Yuki, in the joy of regaining the novice, took the manual from Feng Xue's hand stupidly, and walked out of the shop...

Chapter 32 Research

In a room that wasn't too secret, Sakurami Yuki sat stiffly in the center of the room, while around him were the patriarchs of the famous big families in the village.

yes folks.

Normally, it is absolutely impossible for Uchiha and Hinata to be in the same room, but now, there are not only Uchiha and Hinata in this room, but also Inokacho, Inuzuka, and Yume (these two families should pay attention to the order, first Yume will become an asterisk).

At this moment, Hinata Hizuru and Uchiha Fugaku are staring at their proud eyes, constantly observing Sakurami Yuki's seemingly rough prosthesis, but its flexibility is comparable to that of flesh and blood.

"How is it?" Tsunade watched the two patriarchs remain silent for a long time, and couldn't help asking. Although she was the first to check, this kind of thing that combines wood and flesh and blood is completely beyond her range of knowledge.

"It's a very special structure. There are some fibers connected to the chakra meridian inside, which act as a chakra circuit. The nerves and the prosthesis are not directly connected, but pass through a special structure. When he wants to move his arm, the chakra circuit will inject chakra into that structure, and then generate chakra lines for fine control. Simply put, it is similar to the puppet technique of sand ninja."

"The production of puppet prosthetics is not very difficult. Many ninjas in Sand Ninja Village will modify some of their limbs, but that requires a considerable level of puppetry skills, and this is completely different. Maybe the way to drive the arms is the same, but it does not need to be deliberately manipulated. , as long as there is chakra, the fact that the purpose can be achieved is the key to this kind of prosthesis."
