Chapter 109 Wood Escape
The overwhelming golden sand rushed out from the earth, covering the sky and the sun, and making Ye Cang reveal an expression of disbelief.
Uchiha Feiyu waved his hand casually, and a large amount of gold sand condensed into a huge golden pillar, which fell to the ground like a magic needle and landed in front of Ye Cang.
Ye Cang stretched out his hand in a daze and gently stroked the pillar of condensed golden sand. He finally confirmed that it was indeed the gold sand that could only be condensed by the Sand Ninja Village's unique magnetic escape technique.
"How is it possible... You actually recreated the Sand King Ninja Technique?!"
"And the Shajin you control is much stronger than Luosha."
Ye Cang had also seen the Fourth Kazekage take action and pan for gold. The amount of gold that Luo Sha panned out in one go was less than 1/3 of Uchiha Feiyu's. The gap between the two sides was really too big.
There was no way. Not to mention that Luo Sha's own chakra was far inferior to that of Uchiha Feiyu, whose bloodline was continuously improving and who was eating souls every day.
Just talking about the basic foundation, Uchiha Feiyu's chakra attribute changes and form changes are far beyond Rasa, which naturally leads to the fact that for the same ninjutsu, Uchiha Feiyu is several times stronger than him, even in the bloodline limit ninjutsu.
"As far as I know, after Luo Sha died, your Sand Village no longer has a regular magnetic ninja, and it also lost a major source of income, right?"
After hearing Uchiha Feiyu's question, Ye Cang's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered in response:
"No... that's right. In fact, only the Fourth Kazekage has ever paid out gold. The other Kazekages have never done such a thing."
After all, it is not a glorious thing to let the shadow of a village go digging for sand and gold to supplement the village expenses. Ye Cang naturally felt a little embarrassed.
Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think they don't want to make money? The key is that they don't have the ability!"
Except for the Fourth Kazekage, the other Kazekage, even if they awakened the Magnetic Release, could not control the gold sand. They did not have the conditions to go gold panning!
"I have a special method that can help the ninjas of the Sand Village learn magnetic escape... Do you think this ability is enough to develop the Sand Ninjas?"
Ye Cang tried very hard to suppress the surprise on her face, but the corners of her mouth still revealed her feelings:
"If you have this ability, it will be very helpful to the Sand Ninja... Wait, you said you can let the Sand Ninja learn this ninjutsu?"
"It is definitely impossible to learn all of them, but as long as they can pass the basic wind jutsu and earth jutsu chakra nature changes, I can help them take the last step."
"Or, in other words, for those in your ninja village who can master the art of controlling sand, it is not too difficult to teach them magnetic escape... at most, it will only cost a little."
"Pay a price. What kind of price?"
"It depends on their talent. If their talent is high enough, they may only be weak for a day or two. If their talent is not enough and they insist on learning by force, they may lose several to more than ten years of their lifespan!"
"Is this the only price? I believe the Sand Ninja can definitely afford it!"
This price sounds quite high, but Ye Cang remained calm. Only one in ten ninjas can die of natural causes. If those sand-controlling ninjas knew that they could learn magnetic escape by paying such a price, they would definitely not hesitate at all.
Not to mention the worst-case scenario of shortening lifespan by several to more than ten years, even if it means shortening lifespan by twenty or thirty years, they will never let go of this opportunity.
In the ninja world, short life is never a problem, weakness is!
"I know more than just the Magnetism Ninjutsu. I also know a ninjutsu that is far more important to the Sand Village than Magnetism Ninjutsu..."
More important than Magnetic Escape? Ye Cang looked unconvinced after hearing this.
Magnetic Release is the strongest inheritance of the Sand Shinobi Village. It is not only powerful, combining both offense and defense, and has been developed to a very mature level by successive Kazekages. And most importantly, it is extremely adaptable to desert terrain, and its power can be greatly increased in the desert.
The power of Gold Sand Ninjutsu is slightly inferior to that of Iron Sand Ninjutsu among all magnetic ninjutsu, but it is of great significance to the economy of the entire Sand Ninja Village, and is even more important than ordinary magnetic ninjutsu.
Whether in terms of reputation or effect, Ye Cang doesn't think that there is any other ninjutsu that can surpass the significance of Magnetic Release to the Sand Ninja.
But the next second, Ye Cang knew that he was wrong. There was indeed a ninjutsu in this world that was a thousand times more important to the Sand Village than the Magnetic Release!
Uchiha Feiyu put his hands together, and chakra full of vitality emanated from his body. In an instant, the entire desert seemed to come alive, making a rustling sound.
Grass sprouts and branches slowly grew out from the ground one after another, and in a moment they filled the desert area of several kilometers. Ye Cang's face changed completely, and he screamed:
"This, this is... this is Wood Release Ninjutsu!!!"
"How is it? Which of the Wood Release and Magnetic Release do you think will be more effective against the Sand Village?"
In response to Uchiha Feiyu's question, the excited Ye Cang did not hesitate at all and spoke directly:
"With Wood Release Ninjutsu, who would want to learn Magnetic Release to play with sand? Don't you see enough sand every day?!!"
Even though it was unworthy of the identity of the Fifth Kazekage to belittle his own village's proud ninjutsu, after seeing the Wood Release, Ye Cang's mind was so excited that he could not think of anything else and he immediately said what was in his mind.
Yes, Magnetic Release is very important to the Sand Village, and it was also very powerful in the Land of Wind, but compared to Wood Release, it is nothing.
If you ask all the ninjas in the Sand Village whether they want Wood Release or Magnet Release, the answers you will get will definitely be all Wood Release!
In terms of power, although Ye Cang is very confident in the Magnetic Release of his own successive Kazekage, if it is compared with the Wood Release of the Ninja God Senju Hashirama, even the Fifth Kazekage cannot say with a clear conscience that Magnetic Release is more powerful than Wood Release.
In terms of effect, Magnetic Release can exert greater power in the desert, and the Sand Gold Ninja Technique can also be used to pan for gold and supplement the village's finances. However, compared with the function of Wood Release in planting trees and transforming the desert, the importance of Magnetic Release suddenly plummets.
It’s no wonder that Ye Cang was so excited, as if he saw hope for the Sand Village.
"By the way, can you teach our ninjas your Wood Release Technique?" "Sorry, Wood Release Technique is different from Magnetic Release Technique. I can't teach it to you."
Uchiha Feiyu flatly rejected Ye Cang's request. He was able to force the qualified ninjas to learn magnetic escape. His confidence lay in the soul of the Fourth Kazekage in his hands. Relying on the ability of forced possession, he could naturally allow those qualified ninjas to synthesize magnetic escape chakra.
As for Wood Release, it is the result of Uchiha Feiyu's bloodline returning to his ancestral form and awakening his incomplete sage body. He does not have a soul that can use Wood Release, so it is naturally impossible for him to teach the Sand Ninja Wood Release.
Even if he could teach the Sand Ninja Wood Release, Uchiha Feiyu would not be able to teach it.
Unlike the ninjutsu of Magnetic Release which can only be used for mining, the importance of Wood Release to the Sand Ninja means that as long as Uchiha Feiyu retains its uniqueness, he does not have to worry about the Sand Ninja Village turning over his palm.
Ye Cang's face froze slightly, but as they were in a different place, she understood Uchiha Feiyu's thoughts, it was just difficult for her to accept it in her heart.
However, considering Uchiha Feiyu's strength, even if Ye Cang found it difficult to accept, she had to give up in the end.
After calming down a little, Ye Cang thought about it carefully and felt that he was not at a disadvantage.
After all, whether it is Wood Release or Magnetic Release, they are free things in the final analysis. Moreover, if Uchiha Feiyu is really willing to help the Sand Village, the Sand Village can also use the power of Wood Release to transform the environment of the Wind Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Ye Cang's expression improved a lot. Originally, he had to obey Uchiha Feiyu due to the situation, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing?
When Ye Cang and Uchiha Feiyu returned to the Sand Village, they saw a large number of ninjas blocking the door with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Uchiha Hiba and Ye Cang were negotiating not far from the Sand Village. In addition, the Wood Release that Uchiha Hiba performed did not pursue power at all, but rather pursued the largest area, so even the entrance of the Sand Village and even a small half of the interior were covered with various plants.
The ninjas of the Sand Village are not idiots. This strange sight obviously cannot be a natural phenomenon. The most likely possibility should be some kind of ninjutsu, and the one that best meets the requirements is naturally the famous Wood Release Ninjutsu in the ninja world.
Although it seems that this Wood Release Ninjutsu does not seem to have much strength, do the ninjas of the Sand Village care about this? What they care about is that Wood Release can make plants grow in the desert!
Plants and water, in the desert-covered Wind Country, are treasures more precious than gold. The Sand Ninjas dream of one day having their own ninja village surrounded by green trees, with birds singing and flowers blooming. As a result, today only a small part of the dream has been fulfilled, and many Sand Ninjas still feel like they are dreaming!
"Lord Kazekage...what on earth is going on? Have you learned Wood Release?"
An old ninja who looked quite old came out and spoke tremblingly. Ye Cang opened his mouth and glanced at Uchiha Feiyu wearing a mask. Seeing Uchiha Feiyu nodded slightly, he spoke:
"It was not the ninjutsu I performed, but the shadow guard next to me. He has already synthesized the Wood Release Bloodline Genkai."
Wood Release is a bloodline limit that is a fusion of water-attribute chakra and earth-attribute chakra. This is widely known throughout the ninja world, and in theory, ordinary ninjas can indeed practice Wood Release.
However, over the years, the major ninja villages have done a lot of research on this, but except for Hashirama Senju, no ninja has been able to truly develop Wood Release through the fusion of chakras. This shows how difficult it is.
The Sand Village, which was extremely eager for Wood Release, naturally conducted research on it, but the result of the research was fruitless. They never expected that just when all the ninjas had given up hope, a Wood Release ninja suddenly appeared in the village!
"That's great, it's really great, our Sand Ninja is finally saved!"
The old ninja burst into tears, making Ye Cang extremely embarrassed for a moment. What did he mean by the Sand Village was saved... But the Sand Village was not going to be destroyed, right?
Although... during this period of time, the Sand Village has indeed been getting worse and worse, and it seems that it is not far from complete collapse and falling into the top five ninja villages.
At the gate of the Sand Village, there were several senior ninjas who had also attended yesterday's meeting. They were somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Cang for creating a shadow guard who was mysterious and refused to even take off his mask.
However, after knowing that the other party was a Wood Release Ninja, all these dissatisfactions disappeared, and what was left was only joy.
They also guessed that this masked ninja might have another identity and was not a ninja from the Sand Village at all, but what was the problem with that?
No matter where the ninja comes from, as long as the other party is willing to use Wood Release to transform the environment of the Sand Ninja, they will agree wholeheartedly if the other party wants to become a shadow guard, let alone become a high-ranking official or elder of the village.
Amid the cheers and welcome of the ninjas, Uchiha Feiyu and Ye Cang walked into the Sand Village. In order to better win the hearts of the people, Uchiha Feiyu once again performed the Wood Release Ninjutsu, which immediately made the entire canyon where the Sand Village was located full of green trees and grass, and was greeted with even louder cheers.
It was not until he returned to the Kazekage's office that Ye Cang's smiling mouth slightly closed. Even looking at Uchiha Feiyu in front of him, he was not as annoying as he was at the beginning.
Unfortunately, the next second, Ye Cang immediately retracted his thoughts. Uchiha Feiyu snapped his fingers, and the ninja who had followed Ye Cang into the office immediately retreated respectfully and closed the office door.
Then Uchiha Feiyu stretched, then sat on the Kazekage's stool, put his legs directly on the table, and said:
"Pour me a glass of water, Miss Kazekage."
The smile on Ye Cang's face froze for a moment and he clenched his fists, but he finally ran to pour a glass of water and handed it to Uchiha Feiyu.
After drinking a sip of water, Uchiha Feiyu stretched and said in a relaxed manner:
"Now that I have demonstrated my abilities, shouldn't Miss Fengying also show some sincerity?"
"Sincerity!? What do you want?"
Ye Cang was slightly stunned, with a look of surprise on his face. Uchiha Feiyu chuckled:
"Even if you ask the ninjas from your own village to carry out missions, you still have to pay them! Not to mention that I'm not even one of your ninjas. Whether it's helping the Sand Village with greening or helping you create magnetic ninjas, it can't all be for nothing!"
"Didn't you say you wanted to control the entire Sand Village? Now that even the village is yours, what kind of reward do you want?"
Ye Cang rolled her eyes and spoke directly. In fact, the Sand Village was extremely poor, and she really couldn't think of what reward to give.
"Haha, stop trying to trick me. You don't want me to use illusions to get violent, do you?"
After hearing Uchiha Feiyu's threat, Ye Cang gritted his teeth secretly:
"Well, what kind of reward do you want? Let me make it clear first, there is not much money in the Sand Village right now."
