Chapter 245 (1/2)
One of the most outrageous aspects of Edo Tensei is that even if you summon a large number of dead people, it will not have a large load on the user or any other negative impact.
Isn't this technique too perverse?
Fortunately, Edo Tensei has one limitation regarding its accuracy. An ordinary shinobi who knows the kinjutsu data at a good level, at best, will be able to reproduce a maximum of a tenth of the dead man's peak strength.
This kinjutsu that breaks the boundary between life and death actually has the potential to grant immortality. Orochimaru could go into the Edo Tensei state and never have to worry about replacing his body again.
The Sage of the Six Paths and Hamura Ootsutsuki also exist in a similar state. After reaching the level of the Six Paths, a person's soul gains the ability to erase the line between life and death.
”There is no perfect solution...»
Yeruashi fell into a reverie.
To completely block and eliminate Edo Tensei, he must separate the Shinobi world from the pure world so that the souls can no longer return to the world of the living.
But this is an extremely difficult task. Not to mention the presence of the Sage of the Six Paths and Hamura Ootsutsuki, even if they weren't, separating the two worlds isn't something he's capable of right now. To do this, you must have at least the power of the peak Kaguya, at the fourth or even fifth stage of the Six Paths level.
”Forget it.»
After some research and realizing that there was no effective way to block Edo Tensei at the moment, Yeruashi shook his head and dismissed the idea.
Just then, Shikaku Nara entered the office.
”Lord Hokage.»
Shikaku approached Yeruashi's desk with a stack of doc.u.ments in his hands, intending to report to him about Konoha's current state.
Yeruashi put the Scroll of Seals aside and smiled at Shikaku: ”Long time no see, is this a report on the latest developments? First, sit down.»
”Yes, Lord Hokage.»
Shikaku nodded, but did not sit down, instead he put the doc.u.ments on the table and began the report.
The report consisted of several main parts, one of which concerned Yeruashi's demand to invest large amounts of money in the education of Shinobi Konoha.
”You can.»
Yeruashi thought for a moment and nodded.
The Rain Country is completely under control and a sufficient number of Ame Shinobi have been recruited, so now there is no need for six thousand Konoha Shinobi to be there, which puts a big burden on the economy.
Shinobi stationed in the Land of Rain can not support themselves by regularly completing missions, but perform the task of Konoha and are provided directly from the village treasury.
This is also the reason why world wars don't go too far.
Every Shinobi needs money.
If Shinobi will constantly fulfill direct tasks of the village, while not receiving the appropriate remuneration, there will inevitably be dissatisfaction, after all, most Shinobi need to feed the family, and in Konoha there are not so many families consisting entirely of Shinobi.
Most children do not have enough talent to enter the Shinobi Academy, the children of Genin or Chuunin do not necessarily have the qualifications to become Shinobi.
”Return four thousand Shinobi in small batches and leave two thousand to control the situation.»
Shikaku nodded and continued: ”The Rouran Kingdom City cooperating with us requested support due to water issues. The vast majority of their working resources are spent on water transportation, and now the situation is quite deplorable...»
”I will personally deal with it.»
Yeruashi waved his hand.
Most likely, this was due to the fact that he had absorbed the Dragon Vein in the past. Having lost the Dragon Vein, Rouran lost the ability to extract water deep from the ground.
If Sarah hadn't become a Shinobi and raised a group of Shinobi, then even just surviving in the desert would have been an extremely difficult task.
This problem must have existed for quite some time, but Sarah never addressed it.
