Shennong smiled faintly, eyes on his nose, nose on his mouth, and slowly continued eating the food in his hands.
His goal of joining Amegakure was clearly close to being achieved.
"Have you eaten?" Mingren asked.
"..."
Asuka shook her head.
Then she froze slightly.
Afterward, the gravity in her gaze eased somewhat.
Not driving her away meant that he had not rejected her companionship.
Realizing this, Asuka did not come over to sit with them. Instead, she left, ordered a plate of steamed buns for herself, and walked outside.
Because a Salamander Poison Sac had been implanted into her body since childhood.
If she removed the device covering her mouth, every breath she took could claim another person's life.
Even when eating, she had to stay far away from others.
"It hasn't been easy for her either," Shennong said as he watched her back disappear through the entrance.
Being different from ordinary people since childhood, she had probably always been treated like a monster.
Though she was very beautiful.
The moment she used poison, however, people's attitudes toward her would reverse completely.
Aside from a few people in Amegakure.
Probably... no one understood her or could empathize with her.
On top of that, she was Hanzo's Granddaughter, bearing a heavy burden.
Every action she took had to take her country and ninja village into consideration...
If she had exceptional bloodline talent and possessed a Kekkei Genkai, that would have been one thing.
But for an ordinary person to stand in such a position, the pressure on her was clearly as heavy as a mountain range.
"Fate can be changed..."
Mingren said coldly.
People could not choose their birth, but they could still transform and change themselves later in life.
The shackles upon them could be cast off.
As long as he changed the Land of Rain and changed this world where Bloodline Theory reigned supreme!
A Guide to Attack Speed in the Naruto World
As the title says.
The Sonic Fist in the Naruto world.
A Sonic Fist involved throwing a normal punch, extending the arm, then retracting it.
At a punching speed of 340 meters per second, one could attack one hundred times in a second.
That speed was not enough to set a person's fists ablaze.
A human fist needed to reach roughly Mach 6.
That was a punching speed of 1,800 meters per second, or around six hundred attacks per second.
A human fist would ignite the air and launch fireballs.
That was the effect of the Eight Inner Gates: Sixth Gate's Morning Peacock.
Might Guy's Morning Peacock was created by fists moving at extreme speeds and rubbing against the air, producing flames from empty swings.
This argument had theoretical support in reality.
For example, a certain main battle tank.
Conclusion: Might Guy's punching speed with the Sixth Gate open was equal to the muzzle velocity of a main battle tank shell.
A main battle tank fired shells at over Mach 6. Those shells could ignite through friction with the air, creating the effect of Morning Peacock.
If the speed was lower, such as Mach 3 or Mach 4 shells or fists, fireballs could not appear.
For example, Might Guy's Eight Inner Gates: Fifth Gate could not throw flaming straight punches.
It was merely extremely fast, and causing Sonic Booms was no problem. Mach 4 or more was right there.
Only the Sixth Gate, which reached Mach 6, could do it.
This was very scientific.
Entirely reasonable.
Though discussing science in Naruto Ninja was itself a very unscientific thing...
But to avoid arguments...
Because some people would say: How could the protagonist's punching speed reach 170 meters per second, throwing fifty punches in a second?... So the author had specifically found some scientific evidence.
Kakashi's Three-Tomoe Sharingan could see lightning descending from the clouds, seize the chance to split it with Chidori, and earn him the name Lightning Cutter.
Might Guy could throw punches at the firing speed of a tank main cannon, triggering the physical phenomenon of air ignition.
He could even distort space with a kick, enough to make Einstein cry.
The protagonist throwing fifty punches per second was nothing.
This was science. We had to believe in science.
Setting Out for Amegakure
After breakfast...
"What are your abilities?"
Outside.
Mingren stood together with his Master Shennong and Asuka.
The three formed a team and prepared to set out.
Before that, understanding each other's abilities was the first thing they needed to consider.
At the very least, they needed to clearly understand Hanzo's Granddaughter's combat strength.
"I can use weapons coated with Salamander Toxin..."
"I know Water Style ninjutsu and Fire Style ninjutsu. My Earth Style is somewhat weaker..."
"My sensory ninjutsu also leans toward the water attribute, so it may completely fail in the desert..."
As he listened to Asuka's explanation.
What Mingren cared about was her sensory ability.
The team happened to lack a skilled sensor.
His Master Shennong was only mediocre at sensing. After all, demanding that one person be proficient in everything was indeed asking too much. Being able to research Dark Chakra was already extremely impressive.
This way.
Master Shennong would focus on medical support.
Asuka would focus on sensing.
As for himself... he would be responsible for killing people. Killing many people.
With Asuka's help, finding many targets would become much easier. She could also observe the surrounding environment at any time and foresee danger in advance...
"What do we do next...?"
Asuka asked tentatively.
Before Amakawa Mingren joined Amegakure, she would act and spend time together with him.
"First, find these people."
Mingren took out a list.
The events of last night had delayed them.
Today, they would find everyone on the list and kill them.
His clash with Hanzo's Water Clone had given Mingren a new understanding.
Mingren realized.
This was a living, breathing world.
He could not force everything into the mold of manga and databooks.
There would always be things that manga and databooks had not recorded.
And his own activity would also cause changes in this world, sending it down different paths...
Like Hanzo.
He had already decided to negotiate with the Akatsuki Organization rather than fight them.
Mingren did not know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.
But at the very least, some of Hanzo's convictions had held firm. He had not fallen completely into the abyss.
Perhaps when he went to Amegakure in a few days.
He would get to see Yahiko and the others?
Or perhaps Yahiko's side would refuse the negotiations, rejecting the proposal that the Land of Rain should have only one violent military organization?
No matter what.
No one's actions could affect his plans.
Time flew by.
A week had passed since the battle in the small town that night.
The Land of Rain suddenly fell into an eerie calm.
Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Konoha had all restrained themselves.
Miraculously, no conflicts occurred anywhere across the Land of Rain.
Yet news of the Akatsuki Organization's activities spread through more than a dozen countries within just a week.
This was all because of the earlier murder cases involving numerous High-ranking Officials and Nobles and ninja at the Underground Exchange.
Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure unanimously concluded.
That the Akatsuki Organization was behind it.
Having to deal with Akatsuki while dealing with Hanzo was clearly not worth it.
And Konoha had struck first.
Sunagakure, unwilling to fall behind, also intended to form an alliance with Amegakure.
Thus, the people of the Land of Rain welcomed a brief period of peace.
Over these seven days.
Mingren carried out his plans step by step.
While killing people, he improved his strength.
He had thought the alliance matter would be settled.
But unexpectedly, seven days passed without any news or rumors of Amegakure forming an alliance with either side.
Until then.
