Chapter 192: The Needs of the Family's Future Development (Subscription Required)
"Did you hit him too hard?"
Under the night,
Ryosuke carried the old cat, who had fainted and was covered in blood, and walked towards home.
Beside him, Hinata asked in a low voice, "This... excessive training will put a heavy burden on the body, right?"
In fact, she wanted to ask if the beating was too harsh.
And she was not the only one who thought so. Even Hanabi, who came to call Ryosuke home for dinner, had a stiff face.
They couldn't help but look up at the bruised old cat. If he wasn't still breathing, they both thought that Ryosuke couldn't stop himself when he was training his fighting power and killed the cat.
"His physique has long been different from that of ordinary people after being transformed by the devil fruit."
Ryosuke shook his head, "On the first day of testing and teaching him, I observed his body. Although his injuries were serious, his body did not suffer irreversible hidden injuries like ordinary people after each injury."
"On the contrary, his physical strength can improve slightly every time he is injured. Although this process is very subtle, it is indeed a real improvement."
"Perhaps the mythical beast represented by the devil fruit that Lao Mao took is a god of battle with divine characteristics."
Hearing his explanation, Hanabi, who was originally stiff, hesitated for a moment, "... In other words, Can you become stronger by getting beaten? "
"How can you become stronger by getting beaten? You need to fight to promote the effect."
Looking at her with a strange look, Ryosuke said seriously, "I just said it in a simple way."
"The old cat's growth is also because he concentrates on thinking and responding in battle, and learning my tactics, so he can grow so fast. The devil fruit is only the foundation of his growth, and it is his own sweat that lays the foundation for his rapid growth."
The sweat forced out by me...
Ryosuke didn't say the second half of the sentence. If the old cat practiced by himself, he might not even be able to extract a perfect chakra now, let alone use it in battle.
"Remember Hanabi, Devil Fruit, Byakugan, and even the Wood Release of the First Generation, these abilities are actually worth striving for, and the more important foundation than these is a strong heart that can match them."
Rarely, Ryosuke spoke up and reminded his sister-in-law, "People should be the ones who drive power, not the ones driven by power."
"The same ability will have different effects, strong or weak, when used by different people."
"You can't chew too much. Instead of taking on many abilities and not mastering any of them, it's better to choose one or two that suit you, and then study hard and integrate them..."
The next ninja world may have more and more changes.
The power system brought by different worlds can definitely make ordinary people who can't become ninjas have strong strength.
And precious treasures like Devil Fruit, which can immediately give people powerful power after eating, may also appear.
It is inevitable that this process of reaching the sky in one step will make some people feel unbalanced.
At that time, as his sister-in-law, Hanabi may be able to choose more directions than ordinary people.
Facing this numerous road ahead, with her previous competitive temperament, it may not be a good thing.
As a child under the protection of him, Hinata, and her father, Hanabi can be said to have grown up with a golden key since birth, so compared with others, Ryosuke hopes that she can improve her state of mind.
Blinking her eyes, Hanabi seemed to understand.
She didn't seem to understand the meaning of it. These things are obviously the same. Aren't they all for defeating the enemy in battle? But why are there so many differences in Ryosuke's mouth.
And next to her, Hinata smiled unconsciously, thinking of the days when Ryosuke often guided her to practice.
Of course, Ryosuke also told her these words, but she didn't understand them at that time, but now she has already understood them.
It's nothing more than sticking to your heart, not being disturbed by many external things, and calmly and clearly understanding what path you should take and what choices you should make.
The next morning, Hyuga Hiashi brought the news that Ryosuke was unwilling to participate in the meeting and went to the Hokage Building for another meeting.
This time, their meeting was not interrupted and lasted for a long time, so that for two whole days, Ryosuke and the others did not see him.
It was not until noon on the third day that Hyuga Hiashi dragged his tired body back home.
Without saying much, he said hello and went back to his room to rest.
In such a meeting with sharp words, the loss of mind is extremely serious.
From ancient times to the present, many capable people who have pointed out the situation and strategized have died early because of too much deduction of the situation and too much loss of mind, and there are more people who are often in a state of malnutrition.
If the mind is insufficient, the energy and life span of the body will also be affected. Even if you try to take tonics, it is difficult to make up for the loss of mind.
This is also the reason why Ryosuke does not think too much and stops at the right time.
Even though his spirit and body are far superior to those of ordinary people, he is unwilling to spend too much energy on calculations.
He slept until midnight, and then Hyuga Hiashi got up and drank some porridge.
Ryosuke and Hinata did not sleep either, waiting for his news.
"The current situation in the Rain Country is very complicated. Although there are some surviving Rain Ninjas, they are not enough to maintain domestic order, and no one from the Akatsuki organization is willing to take over this mess."
"Its internal situation is in chaos, just like a hornet's nest, with holes everywhere."
"Many external forces have begun to enter their country, even those who are not even Genin can enter and plunder..."
Late at night,
A bright candlelight lit up in the dining room of the Hyuga family,
and subtle conversations came from it.
And the table, which should have been used as a dining table and filled with all kinds of delicacies, was covered with a grand map,
On the map, extremely detailed geographical information of the Rain Country was marked.
After losing the protection of the Hidden Rain Village, in just less than a week, the entire Rain Country's internal defense lines, commerce, economic context, environmental topography, etc. have been made public.
"Here, here, and here... These are the more important mineral areas in the Rain Country, supplying the needs of most of the country's smelters and blacksmith shops."
There was a bowl of cold porridge on his left hand. Hinata Hiashi still looked tired, but he still explained the information with all his strength, "And from here to there, there are human settlements with a complete town management system, and there is an inland area with rich freshwater resources..."
"In addition to resources other than minerals, forests, and land, the Rain Country, as a country that attaches great importance to the military, also cultivates many outstanding life professionals. Farmers and foresters like Kuraki Ryu and Ye Sheng, who are well-known in the ninja world, have already been invited by the Wind Country. Please leave that country."
"As for iron masters like Genryusei and Kusamukawa, I have already sent people to contact them before the news spread. I think seeing the chaos of the current situation, they will agree to leave for another country and join us in Hyuga."
"Talents, resources, secret inheritance, treasures, etc. are all what we need in Hyuga, but talents are the most important, especially masters of various life professions, which are definitely a powerful help for us to open up the other world and accumulate strength in the future..."
There was no discussion about what Konoha was going to do next. Hyuga Hiashi had no interest in what arrangements Konoha was going to make for the Rain Country in the content of the meeting. He only talked about what they were going to do in Hyuga.
Hyuga Hiashi's thinking was very clear.
With a channel of information far beyond others, he clearly distinguished what they needed at the moment in Hyuga.
First of all, talents, and then resources, and he didn't even mention the land that many countries in the ninja world care about.
Although the basis of resources is the output of land,
But Hyuga now controls a large amount of land, enough to feed a small country, and even a lot of land has begun to be abandoned because there is no manpower to manage it.
So instead of planting and developing it themselves, Hyuga Hiashi temporarily chooses to directly use the ready-made resources, even if it is stupid from a long-term perspective.
Although he felt that Ryosuke and Hinata could guess and understand his inner thoughts, Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but explain a few words, "I think that we have found traces of suspected aliens in the Land of Fire in just a few days after receiving the news, so there must be more aliens lurking in the entire ninja world."
"Which world do these people come from, what are their personalities and personalities, and what attitudes they have towards our world, all of this is unknown."
"I want to arm Hyuga as much as possible. Regardless of whether the future ninja world will be in chaos because of the existence of these aliens, as long as we have the power, we can always have a large piece of land that belongs to us, even if there may be some losses in the early stage."
If nothing else, just the technological power of the Gintama world where the Yorozuya trio is located, Hyuga Hiashi has to pay attention to the existence of these aliens.
Different worlds have different development focuses. For example, although the personal power of people in the Gintama world is generally not strong, the technological power has made him a little unbelievable.
Think about what Ryosuke said, the space battleship that can fly into the universe, the absolute firepower that can directly blow up most of the land on the planet, Hyuga Hiashi can't compare with those half-baked things in the ninja world that take a long time to fire a cannon.
So... those weapons that only ordinary people can use can actually have such combat power after research and development to a certain stage?
"I second the proposal."
Hinata nodded, "The clan has recently experienced a small-scale resource shortage under the rapid development, and even temporarily stopped some research on barrier techniques, the production of detonating talismans, and the forging of ninja tools."
"It would be best if we can replenish it as soon as possible, and we have to fill up the family's warehouses quickly. If there are aliens who bring R&D plans for other routes such as technological development in the near future and we recruit them, we may not be able to start R&D immediately."
"I second this."
Ryosuke also nodded and had no objection to his father's proposal.
Then, he looked at Hinata again, "The previous resource allocation on my side can be ended. Our research on Sharingan, first-generation cells, and Wood Release has come to an end. We only need one last project to completely shut down the R&D team."
"Hmm?"
Hinata Hiashi and Hinata both looked at him.
"The few Sharingans obtained before the Uchiha clan was exterminated plus the remnants on Danzo's arm, a total of fifteen Sharingans have been perfectly transplanted into the bodies of fifteen non-family members. With the suppression and chakra supply of the first-generation cells, they can all use these abilities that do not match their bloodline with relatively small losses."
Ryosuke explained the results of his research and development team, "As for the first-generation cells, a chakra injection that can increase the upper limit of human chakra has been developed. Although there are certain side effects, which will cause small-scale petrification of certain parts of the body of the injector, it has reduced the side effects to the lowest level at this stage, and the survival rate is relatively low. The rate is 98.9%. "
"In addition to increasing the chakra limit, it is currently found that two injection recipients have improved their chakra control and have the ability of super strength."
After a pause, before the two asked, he said again: "Chakra injections cannot be mass-produced for the time being. The current quantity is limited, and a small part has been used to reward some loyal people around me."
Hearing his explanation, Hyuga Hiashi and Hinata looked a little regretful.
However, compared with the increase in chakra, the side effect of a small degree of petrification is nothing.
"Then it's decided."
Hinata Hiashi nodded, "For the next mission assigned by Konoha, I plan to send a ninja team led by five jonins. This time the mission is a multinational cooperation mission. Our clan also wants to show our face in the ninja world and prove our foundation and strength."
"As for the command, I plan to let Hizashi lead the team. He has experience in commanding the team and can lead the team well."
"Maybe... we can also let the younger generation like Neji go there to gain experience. With five jonins leading the team, this will be a good opportunity for experience."
"But the focus is of course on talents and resources. I will let Hizashi try to win over some special talents in life and professions. Don't hesitate to give up those who should be given up in exchange for ready-made benefits."
The number of five jonins is definitely not low. There are only a few jonins in the whole Konoha.
At that time, the Konoha team plus Hinata may have ten ninjas rushing to the Rain Country to perform the mission. As long as there is no large-scale disaster such as the tailed beast, the safety is still relatively guaranteed.
"Let Souji go with us," Ryosuke suggested. "He has been negotiating with the nobles of the Land of Fire for many years, and he has a lot of experience in this regard."
He did not object to letting Neji and other new ninjas participate in the mission together. If you don't sacrifice your child, you can't catch the wolf. If the family wants to develop, it will definitely not work if they just rely on his protection.
Ninjas need to experience the baptism of war and blood to grow better.
Although the tribe members will also accept various bounty missions, only after experiencing some major events and seeing the real battlefield can they understand the value of strength and train themselves more diligently.
There is no setting in the ninja world that people around the protagonist will not die.
Originally, Naruto, as the protagonist, also truly understood the importance of strength after experiencing several life and death separations.
