Chapter 176 Becoming a Daimyo Uzumaki Naruto Is Seriously Injured

"Let me be the daimyo?"

Baiyun Yangjie was surprised when he heard this, but he soon regained his composure. He had already guessed that this kind of thing would happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. He thought of him in less than a year.

"That's right, now it seems that you are the only daimyo in the entire Fire Country."

Tsunade held her chin with both hands and said, because there were outsiders, her tone was also very formal: "Yosuke, what do you think? If you are not willing, then they can only choose another suitable daimyo. "

"Of course I agreed, but if the daimyo works, he still has to be in the daimyo mansion. Forget it, let me handle this matter. Anyway, the country of fire needs reform."

Shirakumo Yosuke shook his head and said that he didn't want to live in the Daimyo Palace in the capital just because he became a daimyo. It wouldn't matter if the ninja world was unified, but now all his research equipment and women are in Konoha.

Moreover, Konoha is not very far from the capital of the Land of Fire. The fastest speed of the thundercar can reach it in one hour.

So after thinking for a while, Baiyun Yosuke said to an official from Daming Mansion who came to report: "I agreed to the Daming Mansion, but I will not go to Daming Mansion for the time being. The operation of Daming Mansion will be maintained in the current mode, and all affairs will be carried out in After processing, send it to Konoha the next morning."

Bai Yun Yousuke gave a few orders, and in summary, he maintained the status quo and left everything else unchanged for the time being; and there was still a war coming, and he would not go to Daming Mansion before the ninja world was unified.

"This...is, Lord Daimyo."

The officials of the Daming Mansion hesitated for less than three seconds and immediately agreed; Baiyun Yosuke was different from the previous daimyo. The previous daimyo was a good gentleman and he discussed it with other noble officials, but Baiyun Yosuke had destroyed the country. The Ninja God.

The daimyo and most of the officials and nobles of the Kingdom of Thunder are still mining in the mining area.

"Let's announce it when we get back. By the way, how about the elder Mitomon being in Daming Mansion?"

"I am working very hard to complete the task, Daimyo-sama. As for other aspects, our strength and that of the guards are low."

The official immediately changed his words and acted very cleverly, telling all of Mito Kadoyan's recent performances.

After the death of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, Yosuke Shiakumo sent people to monitor Sarutobi's house for a period of time and found nothing, so he slowly gave up and continued to send people to monitor; the same was true for Mito Katoen and Koharu who had transferred to the dormitory. But now it seems that they have no idea about Sarutobi Hiruzen's death.

There were also quite a few discoveries on Danzo's body. After some research, Shiroun Yosuke soon discovered the Oniya no Jutsu. However, he was too lazy to do it himself, so he sent the body to Shennong and Orochimaru, and waited for them to wait. After the research results are complete, Baiyun Yosuke just takes over.

"As long as it's okay, go back, I will let the police station in the capital."

Baiyun Yosuke waved his hand and asked the Daming Mansion officials to leave.

After everyone else left, Tsunade returned to the relaxed state when the two of them got along. She lay down on the back of the chair with a boastful figure and said: "I didn't expect that kid back then has become famous now. He is already better than Master. The status is even higher!”

"No matter how high you are, I am still your disciple, Tsunade-sensei; and to be honest, I prefer the identity of being a disciple of the Fifth Hokage to being a daimyo."

Bai Yun Yousuke immediately said that he was not complimenting, but when he was with Tsunade, every time he called her teacher when taking advantage, it made Tsunade feel even more shy.

The more Tsunade wants to downplay the master-student relationship, the more Shiakumo Yosuke wants to emphasize it. Every time he calls him a name, Tsunade gets a little flustered; and Shiroun Yosuke also has a vague feeling that Tsunade should also like him like this, at least it's useless. Knock him with strange force.

"Don't be glib to Master!"

After Tsunade scolded and warned, she couldn't help but smile, but she quickly continued: "You have become a daimyo now, and the development of Konoha will all depend on you in the future. But it is really wonderful to say that I originally wanted to You were the Sixth Hokage, but I didn’t expect you to become a daimyo.”

Baiyun Yousuke shook his head and said: "The Daimyo is a little better. I really have no interest in the position of Hokage. Teacher Tsunade should leave it to other ANBU. And I heard that the Daimyo can marry many wives."

Uh-huh!

Tsunade was still sitting on the chair a second ago, but after Bai Yun Yousuke said those words, Tsunade appeared in front of Bai Yun Yosuke, and then "ferociously" picked up Bai Yun Yosuke's collar. , asked with her pretty face almost touching her.

"Ah? I didn't seem to hear you clearly just now. What do you, an idiot disciple, want to do? Marry many wives?"

"Well, that's the daimyo's privilege, but if I want to marry, of course I will only marry Tsunade-sensei!"

Bai Yun Yousuke sensed the danger and immediately said sweetly, but even so, Tsunade stared at him with her beautiful eyes for a long time, then loosened her collar and snorted: "Huh, if you want to marry, just marry him, the disciple is always If you want to fly on your own, I can’t control you forever.”

‘Tsk, how come an old woman’s petty temper is so popular?’

Bai Yun Yousuke almost couldn't help laughing when he saw Tsunade's attitude, but he still endured it with perseverance; but Tsunade's appearance was really lovable, especially since she had such a tough character before, but now she looks aggrieved look like.

"How could it be possible, Tsunade-sensei, my disciple likes you the most!"

After saying this, Bai Yun Yousuke stepped forward and hugged Tsunade. This time, Tsunade did not resist.

However, Bai Yun Yousuke was thinking about other things in his mind. It seemed that he wanted to exercise the power of the daimyo to marry more wives. The biggest difficulty was Tsunade. Do he really want to put Tsunade to sleep?

Originally, I wanted to bring all the women to the public, but now it seems unrealistic. At least the relationships between Temari, Kushina, Sakura and others need to be hidden.

Hinata will take a look when the time comes. There is a Hyuga clan behind her, which cannot be concealed for the time being. There are also Terumi Mei and Yamanaka Ino. Shiroun Yosuke has already had a premonition that if his relationship with these women is exposed, he will be the first to get into trouble. It's definitely him!

Maybe the Fifth Mizukage and the Fifth Hokage will bring Yamanaka Ino, Yuhi Kurenai and Hinata Hinata to form an Avengers team and join forces to defeat him, a famous figure in the Land of Fire.

'Pregnant! It seems that this is the only method that can save Tsunade, Yuhi Kurenai and others. Thank you that the ninja world does not have the habit of abortion.'

Baiyun Yosuke couldn't help but think with thankfulness in his heart. After much thought, this was the only way to save him.

War breaks out frequently in the ninja world. Even in the safest countries, such as the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder, there are still some bandits and wandering ninjas. Moreover, three ninja wars broke out in the past fifty years, causing the population of the ninja world to drop sharply. Quite a few.

Therefore, every child is extremely precious to the people in the ninja world.

Bai Yun Yousuke could only think of this solution, otherwise he might really face an Avengers team composed of Mizukage and Naruto.

Tsunade suddenly said: "By the way, there is one more thing. That old guy Onoki seems to be planning to negotiate with us."

"Negotiation? Why are you negotiating for no reason? Just prepare for war next."

Bai Yun Yousuke was a little surprised after hearing this, but he still guessed: "Is it possible that Onoki is planning to surrender?"

In the last ninja world war, Iwa Ninja Village and Cloud Ninja Village were almost the strongest, but they were still defeated by Konoha, Sand Ninja and Kirigakure; Cloud Ninja Village was directly destroyed, and Iwa Ninja Village deployed almost all its combat power. , coupled with the Kusanagi and Taki ninjas as well as the hired ninjas, they were unable to break through the defense lines of the three ninja villages.

After the last Ninja World War, anyone with some knowledge in the Iwa Ninja Village knew that the destruction of the Iwa Ninja and the Earth Country was already a matter of time.

The Kingdom of Earth is now completely blocked. If you want to develop military strength, you can only rely on the resources within the Kingdom of Earth. Other small countries close to the Kingdom of Earth cannot provide them with effective help, so the Kingdom of Rain can provide some role.

However, some time ago, the Heyu Ninja Village assassinated the daimyo and ministers who replaced them in the Earth Kingdom, and stole a large amount of money and resources from the Earth Kingdom under the false identity of the daimyo. This made everyone in the Iwa Ninja Village unable to accept the Heyu Ninja Village. Village alliance.

With no way to go, and with the country in chaos, Onoki had no choice but to send someone to negotiate with the Leaf Village.

By the way, let's check whether Konoha has any plans to continue the war. If so, then their Iwa Ninja Village can only find another way; they have already seen the fate of Cloud Ninja Village. There is no chance of winning in a deadly battle, so Onoki has no choice but to find another way. kind of change.

Tsunade said: "Onoki was a ninja in my grandfather's era, and he was also an old fox with many ideas. He may have sent people to negotiate to steal information."

"If Onoki is really that stupid, it will be a good thing for us, and Konoha's information is not so easy to steal."

Bai Yunyousuke casually said that after Konoha's planning and reconstruction, the ninja area and the ordinary people area have been gradually separated, and there are also several key secret areas in the ninja area, such as the Secret Medicine Research Base, where there is a team of ANBU. Patrol in secret.

Konoha Hospital, Hokage Building, Scientific Ninja Tool Research Base and other places have double inspections by ANBU and security teams; and the current Konoha is not like Sarutobi Hiruzen's period. If you encounter ninjas from other villages exploring the secrets of these places, , will be beaten to death immediately upon discovery.

"Let's wait until the envoy from the Iwa Ninja Village arrives. It would be great if they surrender. Then we can unify the ninja world without starting a war. Teacher Tsunade, we can achieve permanent peace."

Tsunade chuckled after hearing this and said: "Peace is not so easy to achieve. The Warring States Period that my grandfather ended did not bring peace."

"I am the new god of ninja, and after unifying the ninja world, as long as I live, I will definitely bring peace."

Bai Yun Yousuke said confidently, this is a world where great power is concentrated in one body. As long as he lives, anyone who dares to cause trouble will be a Tailed Beast Jade.

Then Tsunade asked Bai Yunyousuke if he wanted to build a daimyo mansion in Konoha Village, which would be a new daimyo after all.

However, the proposal was rejected in the end. Baiyun Yosuke almost handed over all the matters to Samui. He had very little time to deal with the matter and did not need to build a useless Daming Mansion.

After becoming a daimyo, Shiakumo Yosuke simply ordered the various newspapers and TV stations in the Fire Country to be sorted out and planned in a unified manner. If he could acquire them, he paid for them. From then on, the propaganda in the Fire Country was unified.

——————

The fact that Shiroun Yosuke became a daimyo soon spread in the ninja world, and after he became a daimyo, the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Wind, and the Kingdom of Water also successively selected daimyo, almost at the same time. time.

However, according to the Anbu's inquiries, the daimyo of these three countries have average strength. They used to be a moderate noble official in their own country. They became daimyo this time purely because of Bai Zetsu's blessing.

After the daimyo of these three countries succeeded to the throne, they immediately sent gifts to Baiyun Yosuke, but Baiyun Yosuke ignored them.

Large-scale infrastructure construction is happening all over the ninja world, and with the help of the Wind Country in Konoha, transformation has been directly carried out.

Originally, the huge Country of Wind had 70% desert environment, and even the Sand Ninja Village was in the desert; but after several months of Yamato's hard work, the forest area of ​​the Country of Wind had increased by 40%.

Moreover, Sand Ninja Village also sent hundreds of ninjas to help. They used puppets and shadow clones to artificially plant trees, and then used plant cultivation hormones to change the soil environment. Although the efficiency was slower than Yamato, it was still quite effective.

After the first oasis appeared, the smile on Rasa's face never stopped. What's more, Suna Ninja Village also connected the thunder train rail with Konoha, which will make it easier to move supplies in the future. Temari also sent him a message. Maybe there will be more cooperation.

This caused Luo Sha to praise him in public more than once for having a good daughter, who contributed greatly to the revival of Suna Ninja Village.

The situation in Kirigakure Village is similar to that of Sand Ninja Village. The village assigned tasks and sent ninjas out to work; the three ninja villages divided Kumo Ninja Village and basically had enough to eat during the war. After the war, it was When there is no shortage of money.

Nowadays, Kirigakure Village has even more manpower shortages than Suna Ninja Village. Rasa also asked some Suna Ninjas to take on tasks issued by the country's nobles and businessmen. However, Terumi Mei directly discussed the idea of ​​unifying the surrounding island countries with the village's senior officials.

Moreover, Terumi Mei also told the senior leaders of the village about Shiakumo Yosuke's idea of ​​unifying the ninja world, which was regarded as a test for them.

Although many Kirigakure senior officials clearly opposed it, some people still remained silent and did not express their opinions on the unification of the ninja world and the merger of ninja villages.

The unification of the ninja world is already a trend. If the five major ninja villages are still there and their strength is balanced, then all the senior officials of Kirigakure will definitely sneer at this matter.

However, Cloud Ninja Village, a ninja village with strong military power, was destroyed in a short period of time. Anyone with a little knowledge knows that the structure of the ninja world has directly changed. The strength of Konoha Ninja Village is already the number one in the ninja world.

And there is also the person in the prophecy, Shirogumo Yosuke, the new generation of ninja god; in addition to Konoha's strength, which makes some senior officials of Kirigakure Village feel scared, cooperation with Konoha also makes them feel the benefits.

One war made Kirigakure full of food, and subsequent cooperation can also bring huge benefits to Kirigakure. Now the person in Kirigakure who has the highest opinion of ninjas from other villages is probably Konoha.

Terumi Mei's attitude also made some senior management of Kirigakure feel weird. Logically speaking, as a Mizukage, he should reject the matter immediately, but Terumi Mei's attitude was very ambiguous and ambiguous.

After the dispute at the Kirigakure high-level meeting failed, Terumi Mei ended the meeting, but she herself did not express any opinions throughout the process.

"Naruto, run quickly. I didn't expect us to be so unlucky that we bumped into some of them."

Jiraiya said with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He originally wanted to sneak into the Country of Rain from the direction of the Bird Country, but he didn't expect that he would bump into several people from the Akatsuki organization while they were still on the border between the two countries.

It can only be said that he was unlucky, and it also affected Naruto, which made Jiraiya feel extremely aggrieved; he originally wanted Naruto to wait for him at the border, so that he could sneak into the Rain Ninja Village with peace of mind, but he never thought that suddenly I bumped into the five-person Akatsuki organization.

"Stop talking so much, lustful immortal, I will help you buy some time, and you should quickly enter that mode!"

Uzumaki Naruto also knew that the situation was not good, so he clasped his hands and said to Jiraiya: "I can only hold on for five minutes. If five minutes are not enough, we can only explain it here."

"Okay, then I will fight with you as my disciple today. It doesn't take five minutes, three minutes is enough for me to refine the chakra to summon the two great immortals, Naruto!"

After Jiraiya laughed twice, he clasped his hands together to refine chakra.

It is not difficult for Jiraiya to enter the sage mode. The key is that his sage mode is not perfect and cannot last for a few minutes. Therefore, he needs two immortals to help him use the art of two lives, but the art of channeling has time, so If the two immortals stay in the ninja world, they need to refine a large amount of chakra in advance.

boom!

"Roar!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto's powerful chakra erupted, and he quickly condensed the shape of a fox around his body, and instantly grew larger, entering the complete nine-tails mode.

A nine-tailed demon fox that was dozens of meters long appeared in front of several people from the Akatsuki organization. However, except for Zabuza, the other four people faced this huge and terrifying monster without any fear in their hearts.

No matter how strong the chakra is, no matter how big the body is, in their eyes, it is still controlled by Uzumaki Naruto.

"Kyuubi, although that guy Zetsu found the place where the Kyuubi was reborn, the Kyuubi extracted from the Jinchuuriki should be the same. Sorry, Mr. Itachi, leave the Kyuubi to me to capture."

After Kisame finished speaking, he threw Samehada high into the air, and then quickly formed a seal with his hands: "Water Release: Big Explosive Water Blast!"

His cheeks puffed up, and in the next second, a tsunami-like torrent came out of Kisame's mouth, which instantly flooded the entire forest and turned the nearby area into a vast lake.

When Zabuza saw this Water Release Ninjutsu, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was secretly shocked to think that he was indeed the guy who was rumored to be a tailless beast.

"Water Release: Thousand Food Sharks!"

A huge tsunami surged up suddenly, rushing towards the nine tails transformed by Uzumaki Naruto, and in the tsunami, there were countless water escape sharks.

As long as it is swept by a tsunami, even if the Nine-Tails is huge, it will be entangled and bitten by thousands of sharks.

"Roar!"

The nine tails roared loudly, and then the nine tails curled up in front of him, and whipped forward suddenly the next second!

The huge force directly smashed the tsunami and thousands of sharks into pieces, and turned into rain pouring down from the sky.

"Water Release: Water Body Technique!"

Kisame relies on his own chakra, just like the tailed beast, and does not hesitate to release ninjutsu. After using the water, the main body and the water body use the ninjutsu together:

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Two water dragons more than ten meters long and a huge waterfall rolled up, instantly attacking the nine-tails transformed by Uzumaki Naruto; the terrifying water attack impact directly made the huge nine-tails unable to stand, and was knocked down by the water attack. On the ground, the terrifying water impact also bit the Nine Tails.

Although this Nine Tails is transformed by chakra, it will also cause Uzumaki Naruto to feel pain because of the connection of chakra.

‘Asshole, why is this guy forming seals so quickly! ’

Uzumaki Naruto gritted his teeth and thought, one water release ninjutsu after another, and if he had to keep doing it like this, he couldn't do it for the three minutes he boasted in front of the lustful immortal.

‘You bastard, I don’t believe your defense can compare with me in the Nine-Tails form! ’

After this thought flashed through Naruto Uzumaki's mind, he immediately controlled the Nine-tailed Chakra to burst out. After setting off a burst of wind release ninjutsu that was comparable to B-level, he immediately stood up and condensed the Tailed Beast Jade in his mouth.

An extremely condensed tailed beast jade quickly formed in the mouth of the nine tails. Just when Uzumaki Naruto was about to launch it, he suddenly noticed something falling from the sky.

"Try this, C2 soil bomb, drink!"

Bang!

Boom boom boom! !

The chain reaction caused by the explosion of the clay bomb directly caused the Tailed Beast Jade to explode in the Kyuubi's mouth. Hundreds of meters of fireworks shot into the sky in an instant. Even Uzumaki Naruto himself was thrown hundreds of meters away by the explosion of the Tailed Beast Jade. rice.

Fortunately, Uzumaki Naruto was protected by the Nine-Tails Chakra and was only slightly injured; and Jiraiya dodged in time. Although he was refining chakra, he was always observing the situation of the battle.

If Naruto is in danger, Jiraiya will stop refining chakra to help.

'Naruto's combat experience is still a little shallow, and he has always been at a disadvantage when facing these ninjas.'

On the other side, Deidara laughed at Kisame and said, "Hey, Kisame, if it weren't for my help, you would have been killed just now. Remember to thank me."

"You brat, I'll be fine even without you. You even hurt my Samehada."

After finishing speaking, Kisame leaned forward and reached into the water to take the swimming Samehada in his hand. If Deidara hadn't used a clay bomb to detonate the tailed beast jade just now, his Samehada would have been able to quietly follow Kyuubi's body to extract the check. Carat.

The scorpion on the side took out the scroll and said: "Quickly deal with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. There is another Jiraiya over there. I don't like waiting for others. It's a waste of time."

Bang!

The human puppet of the Third Kazekage was channeled by the Red Sand Scorpion. Against the Nine-Tails that had completely transformed into a tailed beast, ordinary puppets were of little use. Only the Third Kazekage puppet of the Magnetic Release Bloodsuccessor could come in handy.

Although Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything, he took a step forward. Although he didn't want to attack the Konoha ninja, there were companions around him every time. In order not to be exposed, he had no choice but to be cruel.

"It's really troublesome."

Zabuza also drew out his beheading sword, ready to give Kyuubi a hard blow.

"Roar!"

Uzumaki Naruto looked back at Jiraiya, and then controlled the Nine Tails again to rush towards the five Akatsuki people; and this time he absorbed the lesson, condensed a part of the Tailed Beast Jade, quickly swallowed it in his mouth, and immediately launched it.

Bang!

The terrifying impact threw up more than ten meters of rock and soil on the ground, and a tailed beast jade that was several times smaller than before struck at Kisame and the others.

Even if the size is smaller, the ninja will still die if it is hit.

"Sand Iron Boundary Method!"

A huge black cone suddenly appeared, and was then controlled to fly towards the Tailed Beast Jade. After the two collided, an explosion hit the sky.

Of course, the sand iron cone cannot stop the Tailed Beast Jade, but the Red Sand Scorpions want to detonate the Tailed Beast Jade in advance so that they have enough distance to defend.

After the explosion, several crows appeared next to Kyuubi, and they gathered together to look like Uchiha Itachi. The next second, his eyes turned into a kaleidoscope pattern, and his right eye pupil technique was activated.

"Amaterasu!"

A jet-black flame appeared on Kyuubi's body and burned quickly.

When Uzumaki Naruto discovered it, he immediately controlled and slapped it with his hands, but the fire of Amaterasu could not be extinguished by water, and his actions only caused the black flame to move to other places.

"Ho ho!!"

The burning pain caused Uzumaki Naruto to struggle violently, but he had nothing to do with the flames. Initially, only one arm was burning with black flames, but after he slapped it for a while, both arms and body were burning with Amaterasu. Black flame.

Even if Uzumaki Naruto controlled the Nine-Tails to roll on the ground, he could not extinguish the black flames; and he could feel the black flames burning chakra. If he took the Nine-Tails chakra back into his body, the black flames would instantly envelope him.

With so much black flame, he could be roasted to death within a minute!

'Landful fairy, I can't hold it any longer.'

"Is this the end? Ah, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is really useless."

After seeing Uzumaki Naruto who had been rolling and struggling and had no means to resist, Deidara said somewhat boredly; He had all the clay ready, and originally wanted to use some of the latest clay bombs, but he didn't expect to be beaten by Uchiha Itachi. solved.

Kisame picked up Samehada and said to Deidara: "Kid, this is Mr. Itachi's pupil technique. It's very troublesome to get a little bit of it. That Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is just a kid. It's normal that he can't deal with it. But, isn't there more? A Sannin?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kisame felt a chilling sense of crisis on his back. He was so shocked that he raised his Samehada muscles in front and behind him and immediately formed seals.

"Immortal Technique·Hair Qianben!"

Hundreds of thousands of hairy Senbons attacked the Akatsuki organization. These Senbons were all made from Jiraiya's hair. They were thinner and faster than ordinary Senbons. They also contained Senjutsu chakra and were more powerful.

Swish swish swish! !

Uchiha Itachi turned into a crow, but the crow was shot by Hair Senbon and dissipated directly in the air; Samehada was blasted into a hedgehog by Hair Senbon, but Kisame escaped in the next second with a water substitute.

The puppet of the Red Sand Scorpion was shot through, and his real puppet jumped out and hid far away; Zabuza's decapitating sword was also covered with hair Senbon. Fortunately, the decapitating sword was thick and was not pierced.

Among the five, only Deidara dodged in the sky in time and was not shot by Mao Qianbon.

"Hang in there, Naruto."

After Jiraiya forced the five people back, he immediately took out a blank scroll, and then used the Fire Sealing Seal on Naruto to seal all the Amaterasu black flames and tie the scroll tightly.

After the black flames on his body disappeared, Uzumaki Naruto took the Nine-Tails chakra back into his body and fainted.

After Jiraiya saw this, he directly channeled the Iron Arm Toad and let it take Naruto Uzumaki back to Mt. Myoboku. Then he felt relieved and turned to look at the five members of the Akatsuki organization.

Fukasaku Sennin looked around and said, "I'm afraid little Jiraiya is not an easy person to deal with."

"Well, they are all S-level traitorous ninjas who are famous in the ninja world. If there are only two or three, I am sure to kill them. Now, boss, eldest sister, I can only try my best to ask you to rescue me."

Jiraiya said to the two Toad Immortals with a solemn expression. He had seen the ninjutsu of several people just now, so he felt trouble.

Even if Zabuza didn't take action, he had assassinated the Fourth Mizukage and the Daimyo of the Land of Water and escaped, so his strength should be pretty good, and there were seven Ninja Swordsmen, and the puppet master, the puppet he used was actually the Third Kazekage.

Jiraiya slowly let out a breath, this time he could only try his best.
