With Yahiko beside him on the Divine Condor's back, Qingyun explained, "Kirigakure has three major Bloodline Clans. The first is the Yuki Clan, whose members specialize in the Ice Release bloodline ability. The second is the Kaguya Clan. They fight using their own bones and are incredibly powerful.
"However, despite his strength, his Clan Members are highly susceptible to Bloodline Disease. That is also why they are so warlike: they would rather die in battle than waste away in bed.
"Besides those two, there is also a clan with secret techniques, the Hozuki Clan. They specialize in Water Release and possess a secret ninjutsu called the Hydrification Technique. Once they use it, their bodies turn into water, allowing enemy attacks to pass straight through them.
"At present, aside from Lightning Release, the only known way to counter it was discovered by my disciple Shizune, who used poison to overcome their Hydrification Technique."
After a pause, Qingyun continued, "Your job is to select some exceptionally talented ninja from these three clans and guide them into Dusk. Of course, Kirigakure has more than just the clans I mentioned. There are plenty of commoners too. If you come across any promising recruits, you can bring them in as well."
"Understood, Senior Qingyun!"
Yahiko carefully committed Qingyun's information to memory.
"Once we reach Kirigakure, use the disguise technique I taught you to pose as a villager and lie low there. Remember, no matter what happens in Kirigakure, don't intervene. Just watch quietly!"
Qingyun suddenly remembered that shortly after the Third Shinobi World War, Obito Uchiha had taken control of Karatachi Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, for various purposes. He had imposed the Bloody Mist Village regime, sparking civil unrest in Kirigakure. Judging by the timing, that should happen around now, so Qingyun hurriedly warned Yahiko.
