Chapter 48 Did Nagato undergo a gender reassignment?
"Whether Tsunade believes in the fact that the Otsutsuki have invaded or not, she has to consider compromising."
There's a saying, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me." No matter how capable a person is, there are always things they are not as good as, and there are things they need to learn.
"Even if no one is qualified to be her teacher, if she wants to go further, she needs inspiration from top-level ninja research in the same field to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"And even if she doesn't want to take it any further, what about the people she cares about? What about the others in Konoha?"
"Choosing to join means exchanging your own 'knowledge' for multiple copies of 'knowledge' from other ninja villages."
Refusing to join means watching helplessly as other ninja villages exchange resources, grow stronger, and fall behind.
"..."
Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi seemed to be deep in thought after hearing Bai Mo's words.
Isn't this a calculated move?
Bai Mo used Tsunade as an example, but in reality, Tsunade can be replaced with Konoha Village or Kumogakure Village.
Although there are still some details to consider, such as how to counter if the other party is unwilling to join and chooses to send ninjas to kidnap them or to turn "students" against them to steal knowledge.
Furthermore, the basic prerequisite for launching this open conspiracy is that sufficient influence must first be demonstrated.
Otherwise, if no one cares, then it's all for nothing.
This method is like in the world of martial arts, where hundreds of copies of the Sunflower Manual are printed and distributed to everyone in the martial arts world.
If you don't practice, you'll fall behind others and get easily killed by them; you can only blame yourself.
Even if you practice, you'll not only have to put in some effort, but you also won't necessarily gain an advantage over others.
"We'll have to think about that ourselves."
"There's no rush."
Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi need to think carefully about what advantages their ninja village has that they can offer, and what kind of supplements they need.
Bai Mo, however, said there was no rush.
The matter of establishing an academy will have to wait until after Orochimaru is subdued.
After saying goodbye to the two, Bai Mo returned to Xiao Nan's residence.
As the village chief of Amegakure, his treatment was slightly worse than that of the Mizukage and Tsuchikage, but it was still decent and quite spacious.
"Um?"
Bai Mo pushed open the door and saw that besides Xiao Nan, there was a little girl with red hair who was kneeling timidly beside the table, drinking hot milk.
Actually, when Bai Mo was talking to Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi about medical ninjutsu, he thought of someone.
—Karin.
Actually, it's not just charoensis.
Apart from Sasuke, the other three members of Team Hawk are all "healers".
Shuiyuehui's water-based healing technique.
Jugo will expel cells and directly use his own cells to fill the injured person.
Karin goes without saying; one bite is like drinking a blood-boosting drug.
It can be said that Sasuke during his chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) period was able to "get a beating on a whim" without dying, mainly thanks to the dutiful assistance of these three healers.
Why do we say "basic"?
In some cases, rescue was made by a kind-hearted masked man from the same tribe.
"This is Nagato's clansman. I happened to see her being bullied by ninjas from the same village, so I rescued her and brought her here."
Xiao Nan, who was standing to the side, spoke up to explain.
"It seems you really have changed, Xiao Nan."
Bai Mo sat down with a smile.
Xiao Nan's hope was rekindled by Bai Mo, and the fact that Bai Mo had mentioned that she would deliberately send Zi Yang Hua to her death to be made into an animal, making her the person she used to hate the most.
Xiao Nan has now rediscovered her former self.
"When I see her, it's like seeing my younger self..."
Xiao Nan didn't deny it, slowly walked forward, and sat down. "However, our mission this time..."
"It doesn't matter. Don't forget, we came here to save the Third Hokage. Konoha should be grateful to us."
As Bai Mo said this, he picked up Karin's Kusagakure headband from the ground and tied it around her arm. "Wear this for a few more days during the Chunin Exams."
Then he took out a headband from behind him and, to Karin's bewildered expression, tied it to her other headband.
What does this mean?
Three families of slaves?
"Aren't you going to ask her?"
Seeing that Bai Mo was about to take Karin back to Amegakure, Xiao Nan spoke up.
"I, I'm willing!"
Karin quickly raised her hand, eager to express her opinion.
They were afraid of being abandoned if they were even a step too late.
Bai Mo was perfectly aware of the reason for Karin's reaction.
This is normal.
Not to mention that Konan mentioned Nagato was also a member of the Uzumaki clan, even if Orochimaru came, she could have easily abducted him without saying a word.
The people of Kusagakure are just too perverted.
Karin and her mother possess a special constitution that is rare even among the Uzumaki clan.
One bite can produce the effect of advanced medical ninjutsu.
For small ninja villages, there are few skilled medical ninjas, so this kind of physique becomes highly sought after.
So, how should we normally treat Karin and her daughter?
Kind-hearted, they chose to train the two of them into qualified medical ninjas, and then find a way to research cell culture to achieve mass treatment.
Evil forces them to have a ton of babies while remaining healthy, thus increasing their special physical condition.
Generally speaking, even though she bites, it's important to constantly monitor Karin's mother's health, provide her with nutrition, and ensure she gets adequate rest.
How did Kusagakure do it?
First, they bit Karin's mother to death, then Karin took over.
Even an ordinary person who raises a chicken knows to wait for it to lay eggs for sustainable development.
Surprisingly, the Hidden Grass Village had absolutely no idea about this.
His level of audacity is comparable to that of the Takigakure village next door, which sent Kakuzu to assassinate Hashirama Senju.
"If you're willing, then you're willing. Don't get excited."
"You shouldn't participate in the Chunin Exams. Since your teammates are gone, you can't participate alone anyway."
Let's just be spectators, along with Xiaonan.
"Um!"
Karin agreed to Bai Mo's suggestion without the slightest hesitation.
She didn't care at all whether it was acceptable or not.
The key is to escape the hellish Kusagakure.
-
The next day, the preliminary rounds of the Chunin Exams began.
The preliminary test was a written exam. The Third Hokage specially used the Telescope Technique with projection to project the images of each examination room for everyone to see.
Not many people came to see it.
The lords, wealthy merchants, and officials were all there to watch the fight; they had absolutely no interest in the written test.
Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi did arrive.
They guessed what the core of this written test was, and they also knew that it would be a lot if even one-fifth of the rookies they brought could stay.
But this is not critical.
Their purpose in bringing these newbies here was to let them experience the cruelty of the ninja world.
I couldn't stay firm in my beliefs this time, but at least I'll know what to do next time.
Konan and Bai Mo didn't come to watch the Konoha genin cheating exams; instead, they took Karin and strolled around the streets of Konoha.
Xiao Nan suggested taking Xiang Lin to a public bathhouse, but Bai Mo rejected the idea.
Xiao Nan was puzzled.
As the two were talking, an old man with white hair suddenly scratched his butt and turned to look at them.
Since Bai Mo and Xiao Nan were talking as they walked, Jiraiya only heard a somewhat familiar voice, as well as a red-haired Karin who was lagging behind.
"Konan? Wait a minute, Nagato changed her gender?"
Jiraiya wondered if he had been to too many brothels, causing tinnitus and blurred vision.
