For the Great Snow Mountain project, in addition to dispatching puppets, Hyuga Clan and some Release Technique ninjas followed. Byakugan and Release Technique with different attributes were used to deal with some more complex problems in the process, saving time and energy.
After all, the construction was started on a snow-capped mountain thousands of meters above sea level. It was okay for ninjas, but it was too dangerous for Ordinary People.
This is the place where he will retire and live in the future, and it also assumes the extremely important life support function of 'special personnel', so it must not be careless.
In fact, as early as Raizo was selected and Cursed Seal became the first person to eat crabs, Yayoi was also looking for subsequent candidates.
Among them, the very old Uchiha Hokuto, as well as the veteran cadre Kurobei, Aburame Yuroketsu and others who have won his trust over the years are all on the short list.
However, unlike Uchiha Hokuto who is about to retire, Kurobei and Yuroketsu are now in their early fifties. Although there is no room for continued growth, with the secret medicine developed by Land of Night, they will maintain their strength at the peak in the next few years. I believe there will be no difficulties.
In December, it has been more than a month since the first phase of the Artificial Dragon Vein project officially started.
Thanks to the puppet's extremely efficient work progress, a stable transportation channel has been opened from the top to the bottom of the snow-capped mountain. A large number of high-precision equipment, parts and construction materials are being transported towards the top of the snow-capped mountain.
Since the construction was started on the top of a snow-capped mountain with few human traces and a harsh climate, the noise was not transmitted to the bottom of the mountain. In addition, there were no towns around, so it was naturally not enough to disturb the residents.
Occasionally, Irori himself will visit the construction site to observe and report the details of the construction site to Yayoi in real time.
As for the attitude of those Intelligence Operatives, Yayoi and Irori from various countries who are lingering nearby and secretly observing them, they turn a blind eye to them. As long as it does not affect the normal operation of the project and they want to get close to the core and enter the core, Yayoi and Irori will treat these people as if they do not exist and let these people watch.
After all, it is almost impossible to prevent outsiders from observing such a huge project.
Not to mention that most of these Intelligence Operativess still have 'normal' identities and professions. After killing one batch, there will be another batch, and there is no way to kill them all.
Yayoi, who has been sitting in General's Residence, spends most of his energy on the battlefields of ninja villages in various countries, observing the changes in the situation on each battlefield.
Konoha and Hidden Cloud Village have nothing to say here, the intensity is the most intense.
On the battlefield between Hidden Sand Village and Konoha, there was a turn for the better. The reason was that Hidden Sand Village found that Konoha was a tough nut to crack. Even if he put most of his energy into it, he could never gain much advantage over Konoha.
Therefore, Hidden Sand Village decisively stopped entangled with Konoha, and instead focused all its attention on the surrounding small countries.
In the final analysis, Hidden Sand Village gained wealth and plunder through war, not because he and Konoha had a bloody feud and insisted on fighting to the death.
As a result, the battle between the main forces on both sides gave people the feeling of watching each step step by step, and began to become perfunctory.
Gradually, the two sides formed a tacit understanding. As long as Konoha does not prevent Hidden Sand Village from making a fortune in small countries, Hidden Sand Village will rarely take the initiative to attack and provoke Konoha, but will silently lie on the neighboring small countries to suck blood crazily.
As for the northern coastal battlefield of Land of Earth where Iwagakure and Hidden Mist Village are located, the situation is gradually becoming clearer.
In a large-scale battle a few months ago, Mizukage of Hidden Mist Village was killed on the spot. Although Tsuchikage saved his life, he also had a big problem. After regaining consciousness, he was sent back to Iwagakure to recuperate and was unable to continue fighting.
The shadows of Hidden Mist Village and Iwagakure can now be said to be dead and disabled.
In the second month after Hozuki Gengetsu died in battle, Kirigakure quickly selected the candidate Third Mizukage. Iwagakure Tsuchikage was not replaced, but the power of the shadow gradually transferred to Tsuchikage candidate Ōnoki.
In the following months, Hidden Mist Village and Iwagakure clashed many times, but the situation did not seem to be as tit-for-tat as in the past.
Especially after Tsuchikage returned to the rear, he wanted to promote peace talks with Hidden Mist Village.
Regarding this situation, Yayoi believes that there must be anger and unwillingness in Wu Xin, but Iwagakure's current situation cannot be based on his temper.
Ensuring that the next Tsuchikage comes to power as soon as possible, and helping the new Tsuchikage consolidate his power, and clearing away some noise in the village that is inconvenient for the new Tsuchikage to handle, are the top goals of Wu Xin.
He only has two or three years left to live, and he has no time to waste on fighting Hidden Mist Village.
... It's late December, and the new year is approaching.
Yayoi While paying attention to the complex situations in neighboring countries, he lamented that this year can be a relatively normal year.
He was thinking of transferring Izayoi and Hao back from Land of Fields in a few days so that the family could have a good reunion.
At the current rate of penetration, Land of Fields's 'field' can be renamed 'night' in April or May next year.
Inner Court of the General's Residence, on the training ground.
"Bagua·Vacuum Palm!"
With two powerful voices, two air cannons compressed by the entity Chakra were instantly released from the palms of the two teenagers in front.
Facing these two heavy Gentle Fist, Yayoi just turned his body slightly, as if after some kind of precise calculation, he let the two Vacuum Palm fly past him with a slight difference and flew to the rear, blowing up pieces of sand and dust.
Almost at the same time, the two teenagers in front suddenly stepped in front of Yayoi, put on Gentle Fist's unique parrying posture, and attacked Yayoi's throat and ribs at an alarming speed that was not suitable for their age.
Unfortunately, as if Doichi had been informed in advance, Yayoi stepped back and easily dodged the joint attack of the young men.
The expression on his face was relaxed and carefree, which showed that even if he used part of his strength, the pressure from the two teenagers on him could not be said to be non-existent, but it could also be ignored.
"Fire Style·Great Fireball Technique!"
At this moment, a huge fireball with a diameter of several meters suddenly struck from behind. It was as hot as a physical flame. Before it even got close, Yayoi felt the astonishing high temperature.
Yayoi remained unhurried and took the lead in attacking Hand Seals, and only needed one seal to complete the release of Ninjutsu.
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"
A large amount of water suddenly surged under his feet, converging into a thick wall of water behind him, swallowing up the fireball and extinguishing it, and white high-temperature steam bubbled out.
Yayoi turned around to look, and his eyes swept into the white steam. A flash of scarlet flashed away, and then a complete and slender figure appeared, rushing out of the steam, holding Kunai tightly and running straight towards him.
His running and attacking posture was very skillful. With the help of the steam that blocked his sight, he suddenly launched a sudden attack at high speed. It was obviously not the first time he had done this.
Although the idea is still very immature, at this age, it is quite remarkable to be able to skillfully use the effects of different Ninjutsu collisions to create a combat environment that is quite beneficial to oneself.
Because this slender figure attacked with Fire Style, and then launched the assault smoothly, the opened eyes had turned into the form of Sharingan, flashing with a coquettish scarlet light, and each Sharingan had two black Tomoe rotating slightly.
Sharingan in the Two-Tomoe stage is quite mature in terms of insight compared to the One-Tomoe stage, and can clearly see the flow of Chakra in the target's body. Therefore, like Byakugan, it can quickly determine the target's situation in the steam that blocks the vision.
The only thing it lacks is that it does not have the farsightedness and perspective ability of Byakugan.
Yayoi picked up a Kunai without changing his expression and began to start a ninja battle with this slim boy.
Not long after, the pair of teenagers who had used Gentle Fist just now found an opportunity again, made a surprise attack from behind, and besieged Yayoi with the boy.
But to be honest, Yayoi felt that the pressure put on him by this pair of teenagers together was not as great as the pressure put by this boy alone.
And these three people are none other than brothers Tadayuki, Hideyuki, and his youngest son, Rikuo, who also inherited the blood power of Uchiha.
Compared to his two brothers who are five or six years older than him, Rikuo, who is only nine years old, has not only been able to unlock Sharingan to the Two-Tomoe stage, but is also very skilled in using Sharingan. It is obvious that Izayoi has invested a lot of effort in this son.
This extraordinary talent is no less impressive than Doichi.
It's just that unlike Doichi, which focuses on physical strength, Rikuo has a performance that is different from ordinary people in the cultivation of spiritual energy.
Of course, Rikuo is physically 'weak' compared to Doichi.
