Meanwhile, the Konoha camp was filled with laughter and cheers. Everyone was celebrating their great victory.
"This time we finally got our revenge. Those Sunagakure bastards were too arrogant before, showing off their power. Now look what happened, they were beaten to a pulp and ran away with their tails between their legs. They didn't even look like Sunagakure, one of the Five Great Nations. They really disgraced Sunagakure."
"You're right, those Sunagakure have suffered heavy losses this time. I estimate it won't be long before they'll have to slink back to the Land of Wind."
"But speaking of which, we were able to defeat Sunagakure so easily thanks to the genius medical-nin in the medical unit. Without his antidote, we would have been in real trouble. By the way, do you guys know who he is?"
"I only saw him once from afar, and I don't know anything about his identity."
"You guys are all Kōki Itō. Let me tell you, my cousin's aunt's brother's neighbor's daughter is a nurse at the village hospital."
She said that Kōki Itō was considered a genius by the medical-nin in the hospital, whose talent was no less than that of Lady Tsunade. Otherwise, how could he have developed the antidote when so many medical-nin on the front lines failed? It's because he's a genius of Lady Tsunade's caliber, incomparable to ordinary medical-nin."
"I see. I was wondering how such a young child could develop an antidote. It turns out he has the same talent as Lady Tsunade. He's truly remarkable."
"That's what genius is all about. Now that we have a genius like this, we don't need to be afraid of any of the Sunagakure's deadly poisons at all. They'll break through them one by one. We have a huge advantage now."
"Come on, let's cheer for Konoha's newest medical genius!"
While the ninjas in the camp cheered for Kōki, the protagonist, Kōki, remained quietly in his room.
He was making the most of his time studying the Second Hokage's research records that Orochimaru had given him. It must be said here that the complete Second Yin Release research records cover a very wide range of topics, including both factual accounts and wildly imaginative speculations.
Kōki had to spend a lot of time discerning and organizing information. He needed to study the exact facts carefully, and he needed to prove the wildest conjectures.
Moreover, he discovered that some of those wildly imaginative conjectures could actually be realized. This greatly increased the difficulty for him in learning the Yin Release Records.
Despite the considerable difficulty, Kōki was not discouraged, because he felt that as long as he learned this record of Yin Release, it would bring a huge boost to Aizen's clones.
No, it's not just Aizen's clones, but all of his clones that can bring considerable benefits.
Therefore, Kōki paid even more attention to the Yin Release records and buried himself in studying them even more, so much so that he didn't even go to celebrate the victory when Rin Takakura asked him to.
"Finally finished!"
Looking at the unique, pitch-black clone in front of him, Kōki couldn't help but sigh. This was the second time he had managed to overcome the clone's weakness.
He thought his previous clones were already quite good, but after studying the Yin Release records this time, he still saw many flaws.
For example, when a special clone is attacked by Genjutsu or other mental forces, it may lose control of its body, especially when facing the secret techniques of the Yamanaka Clan, which may lead to the exposure of its identity.
Kōki didn't think too much about these issues when he first created his special clones; it was only after learning that he discovered these flaws in his clones.
Now, he has made up for all these flaws. From now on, Genjutsu that are not at the level of the Mangekyō will have no effect on his clones, and even the Mind Secret Techniques of the Yamanaka Clan will be absolutely unable to affect him.
In summary, it's very difficult for anyone whose Yin Release skills are not as high as his to influence him through techniques related to Yin Release.
In other words, the special clones are now more perfect and more powerful.
Furthermore, after studying the records of Yin Release, the number of clones he could create increased once again. Besides Aizen and Jörmungandr, he could create three more clones. So, for Kōki, the problem now is the lack of powerful corpses.
While Kōki was eagerly awaiting the corpses of powerful figures, his clone Aizen was not idle either.
After more than ten days of operations, they have successfully established an organization.
It's a bit of a shame that while their organization was established, they didn't recruit many people. Even though they were just hiring subordinates to do odd jobs, their subordinates couldn't be too weak, otherwise they would easily tarnish the organization's reputation.
Therefore, Aizen didn't consider the weak ones, and he didn't notice the strong Aizen. This made Aizen sigh helplessly, realizing that the quality of the ninjas in the black market was too poor.
Only then did he truly understand why the Five Great Nations allowed the black market to exist. Although there were many people in the black market, they were not very strong; most of them were wandering ninjas or ninjas from small ninja villages.
How could ninjas of this quality possibly attract the attention of the Five Great Nations? If they were to offend the Five Great Nations, they could easily wipe out most of the black market by sending just one or two Jonin units.
On the other hand, the Five Great Nations also hope for the existence of a black market, since a black market allows for the conduct of some illicit transactions.
Therefore, the Five Great Nations turn a blind eye to the existence of the black market. Of course, they will not allow the black market to grow, and they will also take action from time to time to eliminate some of the strong people in the black market.
Therefore, there are only two kinds of people in the black market: either powerful individuals who are feared by the Five Great Nations, or weak individuals who are looked down upon by the Five Great Nations.
Even after searching for more than ten days, Aizen still couldn't find a ninja who caught his eye.
However, he has now seen some interesting information on the black market. Perhaps someone who satisfies him will appear.
" Aizen- san, where are we going after turning down the Iwagakure mission?" Aizen asked Jörmungandr, sitting on the ship, looking rather bored.
He was curious about what news Aizen had seen that made him immediately drag him along and even cancel the mission Iwagakure had issued on the black market.
You see, he was practically dying of boredom during this time. He was running around with Aizen to try and establish the organization, but they hadn't accomplished anything. He had originally hoped to relieve his boredom by taking on missions in Iwagakure.
"I saw some valuable information on the black market: the Land of Water has something we want. So our destination this time is Kirigakure in the Land of Water," Aizen replied calmly after hearing Jörmungandr's question.
At this moment, the two of them were on a vast and boundless sea, heading towards the Land of Water.
Before long, they successfully reached the island that made up the Land of Water. As soon as they landed, Aizen and Jörmungandr towards the villages and towns on the shore.
They concealed their tracks along the way, as they couldn't reveal themselves before the mission was complete. After all, the sudden appearance of unfamiliar ninjas in the Land of Water would only arouse suspicion from the Kirigakure ninjas.
After finding an ordinary inn and using Genjutsu to control the innkeeper and others, they stayed there temporarily.
Aizen still needs to gather some intelligence. Information from the black market is time-sensitive; who knows if the information is still accurate after so much time has passed?
Therefore, he had to confirm the accuracy of the intelligence again before taking action.
