Chapitre 49: Chapter 49: Target: Kushina

The next day.

Inside the Miko's palace.

After visiting Uzumaki Eri and Karin, Shishou once again found Miko Miroku, who was guiding Shion in her studies.

He inquired if there was any way to keep the soul of a deceased person in the world for a long time and allow it to move freely.

Shishou wanted Kushina to have enough time to teach Uzumaki Eri and her daughter the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

Miko Miroku, although unsure why Shishou was asking this, still gave it serious thought.

After some contemplation, she shook her head, indicating that she knew of no such method.

Then, Miroku turned her words.

"If it's just about preservation, you can consider using a sealing technique."

"But in that case, the soul wouldn't be able to move freely; it would be more like a state of slumber."

Hmm, that's what Kushina did.

She sealed her soul inside Naruto to come out and help when necessary.

Shishou nodded, signaling Miroku to continue.

Seeing that Shishou didn't want that kind of method, Miroku continued:

"To keep the soul of a deceased person in the world for a long time, you need to sever the connection between the soul and the Pure Land."

"It's said that there is a unique stone in the ninja world that can temporarily house a person's soul."

"If you use this stone as a material and let the soul enter it, then apply a sealing technique to the stone to sever the connection between the soul and the Pure Land."

"Since the sealing technique is applied to the stone and not directly on the deceased person, the soul wouldn't fall into slumber."

"This might achieve the result Mr. Shishou wants."

Hearing Miroku's words, Shishou was taken aback.

He suddenly thought of the Fourth Hokage training in the belly of the Death God to master the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

This showed that the Fourth Hokage's soul in the Death God's belly wasn't sealed or asleep; it had its own consciousness and could move around.

This was because the Death God itself severed the connection between the Fourth Hokage's soul and the Pure Land, and the Fourth Hokage wasn't sealed.

This was very similar to what Miroku described.

Thinking of this, Shishou quickly asked,

"Miko, do you know where I can find this kind of stone?"

Seeing Shishou's eager gaze, Miroku quickly turned her head aside and said,

"Mr. Shishou, please just call me Miroku."

"This kind of stone is extremely rare and can only be found in the Land of Marsh. If Mr. Shishou needs it, I can have people keep an eye out for you."

"But it may take a very long time, and there's no guarantee we can obtain it."

Hearing this, Shishou smiled, took Miroku's hand, and said,

"In that case, I leave it in your hands, Miroku."

Miko Miroku's face instantly turned red. She quickly pulled her hand away and walked towards the door.

"I... I need to go teach Shion now."

Watching Miroku flee in embarrassment, Shishou smiled slightly.

...

Konoha Year 59, July.

Fire Source City's underground fighting arena.

Wearing a mask, Shishou led the equally masked Mikoto, Pakura, Izumi, and Yugao into a crowded fighting arena.

Leading them respectfully was Takeko.

Fire Source City had a wide variety of mining industries, attracting many forces to the city.

With many people and limited resources, conflicts and bloodshed were common.

To maintain the stability of Fire Source City's mining industry,

the city held an underground fighting tournament every three years to allocate mining rights for the next three years.

If your representative could enter the top ten, you would gain an extra mining right. The higher the rank, the better the selection priority.

Additionally, there would be extra taxes.

Most forces would stop fighting after securing one or two mining rights.

Firstly, the more mining rights you had, the higher the taxes, which most forces couldn't afford.

Secondly, it was easy to offend other forces and become a target.

Of course, if you were powerful enough to withstand the attacks of other forces, it was okay to take all the mining rights.

As long as you paid enough taxes to the Land of Fire, the country didn't mind such things.

Because the Land of Fire's officials were behind it, Shishou didn't dare to use force and had to participate in the competition honestly.

Konoha was the military organization of the Land of Fire, and Shishou didn't want trouble from Konoha.

"Sir, how many participants will you send?"

Takeko respectfully asked Shishou after leading them to the VIP room.

Shishou activated his Sharingan to observe the other forces, noting that they mostly sent wandering ninjas and samurai.

Though some had the strength of Jōnin, they were no match for Shishou.

Official ninjas were prohibited from participating in such activities.

To avoid drawing too much attention, Shishou decided to take fewer shares this year.

He decided to take half.

So, Shishou turned to Takeko and said,

"Five people."

Ten mining rights, he would take five.

That was enough.

"Understood."

Surprised but respectful, Takeko left to register the participants.

Five people, costing 25 million ryo.

Each participant required a 5 million ryo registration fee, so most forces only sent one or two skilled fighters.

The Land of Fire made billions just from hosting the tournament.

Adding the gambling, they easily made tens of billions.

Soon, the tournament began.

The matches were drawn, with two fighters facing off.

The winner advanced until the top ten and rankings were determined.

Members of the same force were intentionally separated to avoid internal conflicts.

With five participants, Shishou naturally joined Mikoto and the others in the competition.

"A woman?"

"Beat her, beat her."

"Beat this bi—"

Yugao Uzuki, the first to fight, was recognized as a woman due to her slender figure.

Angry at the crowd's vulgarity, she gritted her teeth.

"Heh, women should stay home with the kids. What's the point of coming here?"

Her opponent, a wandering samurai using swordsmanship, sneered at her.

"Begin!"

The referee glanced at them and announced the start of the match.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yugao and the samurai clashed in the arena.

Yugao launched a rapid assault, overwhelming the samurai.

Her constant training against the three-tomoe Sharingan of Izumi had honed her fast attack techniques.

Only by doing so could she fight Izumi to a draw.

Bang!

Half a minute later, Yugao found an opening and kicked the samurai out of the ring.

Sheathing her sword, she left the stage without waiting for the referee's announcement.

The audience was stunned for a moment before erupting in deafening cheers.

"That woman is amazing."

"What a useless samurai, so weak."

"..."

Chapitre 50: Chapter 50: The Fragile Girl

"Well done."

Seeing Uzuki Yugao return, Shishou smiled and complimented her.

"Hmph!" Uzuki Yugao, still annoyed by the vulgar comments from the audience, snorted in response to Shishou's praise.

"I'll go avenge you."

Despite being snubbed, Shishou didn't get angry. He chuckled and spoke.

Next match.

Shishou faced off against a rogue ninja.

As Shishou dodged the rogue ninja's Water Release attacks, he used his Sharingan to copy and counter with the same Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique.

Since he, Mikoto, and Izumi all wore special contact lenses, they didn't worry about revealing their Sharingan.

However, Shishou kept missing his opponent and instead drenched the spectators, who cursed him loudly.

"How about that? Feeling better?" Uchiha Izumi teased Uzuki Yugao with a smile after watching Shishou's antics.

"Hmph!"

"You're so self-important."

Uzuki Yugao muttered to herself but didn't respond to Izumi. Still, Izumi could see that Yugao's mood had improved.

Meanwhile, Pakura and Mikoto felt Shishou's protective behavior was a bit childish, wasting chakra like that. However, if Shishou had done the same for them, they would have been equally happy.

Not long after, Shishou finally hit the rogue ninja amidst the spectators' curses, knocking him out of the ring.

Next,

Mikoto, Izumi, and Pakura all took their turns and successfully advanced to the next round.

"Hold out your hand."

Seeing Pakura step down from the platform, Shishou extended his right hand.

"What for?"

Pakura looked at Shishou suspiciously, remembering the time he had taken advantage of her in the Land of Demons, making her wary.

That time, she hadn't realized what had happened until much later, once she had returned to the Land of Wind.

"To replenish your chakra," Shishou smiled.

Pakura glanced at Mikoto, who nodded, so she hesitantly placed her hand in Shishou's.

She and Mikoto were close in age, so they had a good relationship.

The next second, Pakura felt a warm energy flowing from Shishou's hand, replenishing her depleted chakra.

This made her curious about how he did it.

After replenishing the chakra of all four women using the energy stored from the Jofuku bugs, Shishou sat down to wait for the next match.

The energy from the Jofuku bugs didn't consume his chakra, making it very efficient.

Two hours later,

Shishou won the championship with the highest score.

The fully recharged Pakura, Mikoto, Izumi, and Yugao took second, third, fourth, and fifth places respectively.

With this, Shishou secured half of the mining rights in Hoshizora City with an overwhelming advantage.

He prioritized acquiring iron and coal mines essential for industrialization.

Over the next month, with Takeko's help, Shishou smoothly established his mining company,

Golden Miners!

...

August, Year 59 of the Hidden Leaf.

Capital of the Land of Water.

Shishou left a casino in disappointment.

It wasn't because he lost money.

He had received information from the ninja black market that Tsunade had been seen in the local casinos.

However, after searching for several days, he hadn't found any trace of Tsunade.

Frustrated, he felt slightly better when his black market contact promised to either find Tsunade or refund his money.

He went to a local specialty ramen shop.

Upon entering, Shishou accidentally bumped into someone and fell to the ground.

"Sorry, sorry."

The person helped Shishou up and apologized profusely.

It turned out to be two young girls, one with blonde hair and the other with black hair, both looking about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Shishou curiously eyed the two girls, puzzled.

He was a burly man with a full beard, standing at 180 cm. Normally, people couldn't knock him over so easily.

Yet, these frail-looking girls had managed to do so.

How strange.

After standing up, Shishou waved his hand, indicating he was fine.

Then, he walked to the counter and ordered a bowl of seafood ramen.

The seafood ramen of the Land of Water was renowned in the ninja world, and he never tired of eating it.

Perhaps he should set up a seafood trading company here, specializing in seafood exports.

As Shishou pondered this, he slurped his ramen.

Meanwhile,

After leaving the ramen shop, the black-haired girl whispered to the blonde-haired girl:

"Tsunade-sama, where are we going now?"

"Hmm, let's leave the Land of Water first, so we don't get caught by the people from the Mizukage Casino."

The blonde girl walked briskly, not even turning her head.

The blonde and black-haired girls were obviously Tsunade and Shizune, disguised and on the run after losing a large sum of money.

...

After finishing his ramen, Shishou strolled around the capital of the Land of Water.

Since he was already there, he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

He planned to look for special foods and gifts to bring back for Mikoto and the others.

As for the Ninja Academy,

Shishou only visited every three or four days, maintaining relationships with Ino and Hinata, while his insect clones handled the rest.

"I wonder if the Mist Village is still under the control of the Fourth Mizukage."

"At this point, Itachi Uchiha had just joined the Akatsuki, and Zabuza Momochi shouldn't have faced the Tailed Beast Bomb yet."

"So, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura might still be under Uchiha Madara's control, enforcing the Bloody Mist policy."

"Should I go and stir up some trouble for Madara?"

As he wandered, Shishou suddenly got interested.

He was destined to clash with the Akatsuki.

Instead of waiting for them to come to him, why not take the initiative?

"By the way, didn't I just think about setting up a seafood trading company?"

"I could establish a company and then approach the Mist Village as an investor seeking cooperation."

"This way, I might even meet the beautiful Mei Terumi. At this point, it's nine years before the Fourth Great Ninja War, and she's in her prime at twenty..."

Determined, Shishou headed to the administrative hall of the Land of Water to set up his seafood trading company.

With the power of money,

Shishou swiftly established a seafood trading company within a day,

Seafood Trading Company.

With a registered capital of ten million ryo,

Shishou received enthusiastic service from the staff of the Land of Water.

Next, Shishou asked the staff for recommendations on security companies.

The staff recommended the Mist Village.

Soon after, Shishou, led by the staff, headed to the Mist Village for an inspection.
