Kai stood in the open space at the feet of Spirit Mountain, looking around at the group of children, large and small, in front of him.
Kimimaro, white, Karin, Tayuya, Kidomaru, empty, Might Nosuke, Sand Wukong, Yota, Chino.
Plus Ziro, which just arrived.
Eleven.
There are still seven people missing from the eighteen Arhats he imagined.
"No, it should be more than that."
Kai turned to look at Kakuzu, Moyochi En and Kagero.
"By the way, during this period of my absence, I want you to pay attention to talented children. Have you found any?"
Kakuzu was the first to speak, "Sir, according to your instructions, my subordinates have been paying attention. We have indeed found two good seedlings."
Kai's eyes lit up. "Oh? Who is it?"
Kakuzu said:
"One named Jirobo, Earth Release is very talented, and has the innate ability to absorb other people Chakra."
"Although the current absorption effect is still a bit weak, the potential is not low."
Kai's eyelids jumped slightly when he heard the words "Jirobo".
Jirobo?
The little fat guy in Sound Four?
When he was searching Land of Rice Fields, he specifically looked for this little fat man.
Unfortunately, I searched half of Land of Rice Fields and couldn't find any trace of it. I didn't expect this guy to show up on his own.
Kai's lips curled up. "Not bad. What else?"
Kakuzu continued:
"There is another one called Dosu·Anvil."
"She is a little older, and her talent is quite good, within the range suitable for cultivation."
"Dosu·Anvil?"
Kai nodded slightly.
He is no stranger to this name.
In the later Orochimaru Hidden Sound Village, one of the ninjas who could barely handle it,
Although he is not as elite as Sound Four, he is not mediocre either.
Kai didn't comment too much.
After Kakuzu finished speaking, Kagero spoke hesitantly:
"Your Majesty, there is a junior among me, Fūma Clan, who is very talented, but I don't know if he can catch your eye."
Kai looked at her. "What's your name?"
"Fūma Arashi."
Kai recalled it for a while and had a clear idea.
Fūma Clan is a genius boy with good abilities.
Later, he was bewitched by Orochimaru, transformed into a monster that was neither human nor ghost, and became a thug of the opponent.
Kai nodded. "Since they are the descendants of your Fūma Clan, they must not be much different. Go and bring them to see me."
Kakuzu and Kagero responded and left.
Kai didn't leave the little guys idle and waved to them:
"You guys play around for a while and I'll tell you something later."
Several little guys immediately ran away happily.
Not long after, Kakuzu and Kagero came back with their three children.
Walking in the front was a fat man of four or five years old.
He is chubby, with dark skin and a simple and honest look on his face.
His eyes are not big, but his eyes are full of intelligence.
This is Jirobo.
Next to him was an older boy, about ten years old.
He is thin, has greasy hair, and has gloomy eyes.
Dosu·anvil.
The last person followed was a young man.
His figure is stronger than the previous two, his back is straight, and his eyes have a bit of a boyish unruliness.
He was wearing Fūma Clan's usual dark clothing, and his wrists were wrapped in bandages.
Fūma Arashi.
Kai looked at the three children.
He was not in a hurry to get down to business. He grinned and started chatting casually with the three little guys.
The three of them are all Spirit Mountain people. Although they have never met Kai, the Daimyo of Venerable Tathagata has long been known to the ears.
Everyone was extremely nervous.
Kai briefly comforted him.
Although the three little guys have never met Kai, they all know the name of Tathagata.
This is Spirit Mountain, the most noble person.
But they didn't expect that Venerable Tathagata would be so kind.
Kai stood up slowly and looked around.
Jirobo, Dosu·anvil, Fūma Arashi.
Including the previous eleven, there are fourteen people in total.
There are only four shortcomings from the eighteenth Arhats.
Each of these children has a good foundation, let's develop what they already have first.
However, these little guys did not bring Kai Monk Points reward.
Kai Da knew well that although these children came to him because of his influence, it was not his direct action.
The system's judgment is very vague.
Although their fate has changed because of his butterfly effect, it has not changed directly because of him.
The system does not calculate such indirect effects and will not give rewards.
Just like Third Raikage back then.
He was saved by his butterfly effect and escaped the siege of Land of Earth by thousands of people. Monk Points was also not brought to him.
Kai didn't care, he couldn't force this kind of thing.
If everything needs to be rewarded, then he has made too many changes since joining Shinobi World.
The rewards are already enough to max out all the stunts.
He stood in front of the children, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Look at me."
Fourteen children, tall, short, fat and thin, everyone looked at him.
Some were nervous, some were curious, some had expressionless faces, and some had lights in their eyes.
Ziro stood closest to the front, with his back straight and his eyes glaring at Kai.
Only he knows how much hardship he has suffered along the way from Land of Wind to Land of Rice Fields.
He has been waiting for this opportunity for too long.
Kai looked at these eyes and suddenly felt very open in his heart.
He said calmly, "Come on, follow me up the mountain. Next, I will teach you something."
The children looked at each other and didn't react for a while.
Ziro was the first to regain consciousness and took steps to follow.
Kimimaro and Bai followed closely behind without hesitation.
Might Nosuke snorted, put his hands in his pockets, and followed slowly.
Other little guys followed one after another.
Kai walked in the front and never looked back.
The footsteps behind me were messy, carrying mud and wind dust, just like the old days when I was studying with Hui Yan on the Fire Temple Mountain Road.
But he was alone at that time, and now he was followed by a bunch of people.
He whispered to himself, "Eighteen Arhats, this is only fourteen. There are still four points of fate left."
After saying that, he walked faster towards Spirit Mountain.
