Uchiha Nagi enthusiastically showed Yukihime books about the Ninshu Sect, whether Ninjutsu or Buddhist scriptures, and had her write them down, but the results greatly disappointed him.
"These are completely like Buddhist and Taoist scriptures; aren't there any about Ninjutsu training?"
Yukihime had already written several books for Uchiha Nagi, but they were all esoteric Buddhist scriptures, mostly encouraging people to do good.
"No, all the Ninjutsu-related things were hidden by the Daimyo. Otherwise, I wouldn't be an ordinary person," Yukihime said innocently, blinking her eyes.
"Then are there any things for spiritual cultivation?" Uchiha Nagi asked, frowning.
"No, if there were, it would be these Buddhist scriptures…" Yukihime said innocently.
On the second night after he eloped with her, Uchiha Nagi tried something. It was the same as before: as long as Yukihime was not in his line of sight, he couldn't sense her presence. This was truly a bit magical, as she was clearly an ordinary person. Afterward, Uchiha Nagi probed her and found that her mental power wasn't particularly strong. However, surprisingly, she gave off a very… indescribable strangeness. It was as if any Genjutsu was useless against her, or rather, her mental world, though pitifully weak, was like a house locked with an iron door, which others simply couldn't enter.
Unless the entire house was torn down, which meant she could be killed, but no one could invade her spiritual world.
Then Uchiha Nagi tried following the Buddhist scriptures Yukihime had given him, but he couldn't find any way to get started or cultivate.
In conclusion, these scriptures left behind by the Ninshu Sect were truly religious scriptures, completely devoid of any cultivation methods… Yet, Yukihime, by coincidentally reading these Buddhist scriptures for years, stumbled upon this half-transparent state.
Damn it—
Uchiha Nagi asked Yukihime again what she usually did and if she cultivated.
Yukihime still affirmed that she had never cultivated; she just found it easier to concentrate inadvertently while reading, and later discovered her memory was better, so she read more and more books… Uchiha Nagi stroked his chin, pondering. According to her, she unintentionally discovered a method of cultivation?
While reading, she concentrated her mind and unintentionally entered a state similar to a high monk in meditation or Zen sitting. So, by coincidence, these Buddhist scriptures left by the Ninshu Sect were successfully cultivated by her.
However, it's understandable. If Ninjutsu or spiritual cultivation methods were clearly written, they would have probably been locked away in the treasury by successive Daimyo long ago. Only these scriptures, which seemed like Buddhist texts, could be preserved for so long and even placed casually in the Daimyo's study like other miscellaneous books.
Uchiha Nagi had a bold guess: the Fourth Kazekage saw Yukihime's special situation but discovered she was an ordinary person with no Chakra, which is why he arranged a marriage with the Daimyo, intending to marry her.
"Let's go, we'll head to Rouran Country first—" Uchiha Nagi said.
"Okay, Teacher."
"Okay…"
Just as they were about to depart for Rouran Country, the Daimyo flew into a rage. The Princess was gone, and not a single guard had noticed—
However, he couldn't blame the only six Jonin, as recruiting Jonin was extremely difficult, and not many Jonin were willing to retire at the Daimyo's residence.
Fortunately, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind received news that a terrible plague had broken out in Hidden Sand Village, so the wedding was postponed indefinitely. He no longer had to worry about the scandal of his daughter eloping.
At this time, Hidden Sand Village was already filled with wails. After the first Ninja death occurred, cases began to appear one after another. All they could do was isolate those people.
Even Temari was infected with Nano-Poison Insects, but Hidden Sand Village's medical technology was unable to eliminate these insects; they could only delay. The longer it lasted, the more Ninja died. They could only protest to Konoha and threaten them with war—
— — — —
"I disagree, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Send medical personnel to Hidden Sand Village so they can accumulate strength and attack the Land of Fire again next time?"
A high-level meeting was being held in Konoha's Hokage Building. The leader was naturally the Sandaime, Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with Koharu, Danzo, and other high-ranking officials, and the remaining were the leaders of various clans.
Today's meeting had only one topic: a large-scale plague had broken out in Hidden Sand Village, and it was found to be caused by Nano-Poison Insects.
Then, without any evidence, Hidden Sand Village blamed Konoha, claiming that Konoha had launched the attack on them, and at the same time sent people to inquire if Konoha intended to start a war.
The Sandaime continued, "What I want to know now is whether the Hidden Sand Village incident was caused by Root."
Many high-ranking officials turned their gaze to the leader of the Aburame Clan… The leader of the Aburame Clan was expressionless; of course, his high-collared jacket and sunglasses also concealed his facial expressions. Only his tightly clenched, white-knuckled fists hidden in his pockets could represent his current mood.
Danzo continued, "No, Root never intended to start a war. The Hidden Sand Village incident has nothing to do with Root. However, what I want to say is that since the incident has happened, let it continue. Don't forget, in several Shinobi World Wars, Hidden Sand Village has always been Konoha's mortal enemy. This is a good opportunity to weaken their strength."
"It's only been peaceful for ten years with great difficulty. If we just ignore them and let them be severely weakened, even if another major war breaks out in a few years, Konoha won't have to worry about facing a multi-country siege."
The Sandaime interrupted Danzo, "I believe you, it has nothing to do with Root. But I have asked the Aburame Clan leader, and within the Aburame Clan, only Aburame Torune can control Nano-Poison Insects…"
Seeing Danzo remain silent, he clearly acquiesced.
The Sandaime waved his hand, annoyed, "You all leave first. I'll talk to Danzo alone—"
The various clans, big and small, all rose, bowed, and then exited, leaving the Sandaime and Danzo alone.
Among them, the leader of the Aburame Clan, as he walked out of the Hokage Building, silently took out his hand and looked at it. His fingernails had long since dug into his palm, and blood was dripping. His hand hurt, but his heart hurt even more.
Because Aburame Torune was his eldest son… The surrounding clan leaders saw this and remained silent. The leader of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hizashi, just sighed and patted his shoulder in comfort… "Torune died in the Land of Wind, right? So what mission was he on that caused the Nano-Poison Insects to spread like a plague in Hidden Sand Village?"
The Aburame Clan can control insects, but the death of the caster doesn't mean the insects will die with their master…
