Chapter 280 The Will of Stone in the Hidden Rock Village
Tsunade and her friends followed the instructions of the Second Hokage and came to the east of the Land of Fire, near the site of an ancient battlefield in the Land of Whirlpools. This was once the territory of the Uzumaki clan, and there were a large number of sealing techniques left underground. The Second Hokage buried Uchiha Madara's body underground and did not want anyone to find the body.
Entering the tomb and opening the coffin, it was empty.
Judging from the accumulated dust, this coffin has been vacant for at least several decades.
They did not find any clues related to Uchiha Madara at the scene, so they could only use the carrier pigeon to inform the village of the news and ask the village to send more professional people to investigate.
The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki's son, Yodo, brought news that his father was willing to meet with Tsunade, so Tsunade's team left the catacombs and headed for the Land of Earth.
They first showed up at the border, and found that Kurotsuchi had already returned to the village. The ninjas at the border post of Iwagakure Village did not dare to stop the famous three ninjas, and they treated them to delicious food and drinks. A day later, Tsunade and the others successfully entered the Land of Earth.
The Iwagakure Village is located in the mountains of the Land of Earth. There are many mountains, and after climbing one mountain, there is another one behind. Even if a ninja can climb mountains and cross them as if they were walking on flat ground, he would still feel a little annoyed at this time, because there are simply too many mountains!
Tuntun's excitement had long since disappeared, and even though it was held by Jingyin, it still felt very tired.
Ino watched along the way. Unlike the Konoha Village on the plain, the Iwagakure Village definitely deserves the reputation of being easy to defend and difficult to attack. The three of them were a little tired after running all the way here, let alone ordinary Chunin and Genin. If they were to run a long distance, they might have used up most of their physical strength before they even reached the Iwagakure Village, and there would be no point in fighting.
Over the years, Iwagakure Village has never been invaded by foreign enemies. It must be said that this is due to its geographical advantages.
There are pros and cons to this matter. The location is so remote that ordinary people will not come here to entrust tasks. The number of tasks in the Hidden Rock Village is relatively small, but they have mines here! The ninjas in the village are good at earth escape, and they are all good at mining. In fact, they are not poor.
There was a huge rock standing at the entrance of the Iwagakure Village. The three people stopped to watch. The ninja guarding the gate of the Iwagakure Village had a proud look on his face and did not stop them at all.
As expected and reasonable, there were several lines of large characters engraved on the stone.
The vigorous and powerful handwriting elaborated on the will of the first Tsuchikage, which was similar to the Will of Fire in Konoha Village, and was called the Will of Stone here.
Perseverance and unshakable determination are the core of the Will of Stone. In essence, this will is fine, but in Ino's opinion, it seems too rigid.
You don't move when you need to break bad habits, and you don't move when you need to reform and move forward? If it is a chaotic situation and the people in power cannot see the changes in the situation, then it is a wise choice to remain unchanged in the face of change. However, in an era of relative peace in the ninja world, if you still remain motionless, that will not work.
When you are poor, you must change. When you change, you will get through. When you get through, you will last long.
In Ino's opinion, the future of the Iwagakure Village will fall further and further behind the times, and will eventually be kicked away like a stone.
The future will be kicked away, but not now.
Naturally, there are advantages to having unchanging policies. People's minds are at peace, and the environment of the Iwagakure Village is the most stable. This is much better than the Konoha Village, which is living in dire straits.
Ino read the Will of Stone carefully, just like reading Buddhist scriptures to learn Shaolin skills. Now she has also learned some ninjutsu from the Hidden Stone Village, so she read it very seriously.
The first Tsuchikage Ishikawa is the grandfather of the current third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, and the great-great-grandfather of Kurotsuchi. Ino can understand the thoughts of this senior in the ninja world through the Will of Stone. She may not agree with his path, but she can learn from his advantages.
As we walked into the gate of the Iwagakure Village, the Third Tsuchikage had already come to greet us with several high-ranking officials from the village.
The most eye-catching is his son, a 2.17-meter-tall strong man, Huang Tu.
The Third Tsuchikage was floating in mid-air.
This is the Light and Heavy Rock Technique that the Iwagakure Village is famous for.
The Light and Heavy Rock Technique and the Heavy Rock Technique involve a series of abilities such as flying, and are extremely rare in the ninja world.
However, there are some speculations in the ninja world that this technique is not only extremely difficult to learn, but also requires moderation when practicing.
If you practice too hard, you might become like the Third Tsuchikage and the deceased First Tsuchikage.
The first Tsuchikage, Ishikawa, was 1.45 meters tall, and the third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, was 1.30 meters tall.
Huang Tu's height of 2.17 meters shows that his family has good genes. It is impossible that the son is 2.17 meters tall and the father is 1.30 meters tall? There is nothing wrong with the neighbor Wang. He just practiced the light and heavy rock technique and the heavy rock technique too frequently, which put a heavy burden on the body for a long time, causing the spine to deform and become shorter.
Look, Huang Tu didn't practice Huang Tu, so it's fine! Seeing the third generation of Tu Ying floating in the air like a small potato, Ino felt a chill. This technique was given to her for free, but she didn't even practice it!
Being strong is temporary, but being handsome is lifelong. If you are really compressed to 1.30 meters, it will be useless no matter how beautiful you are and have a good figure.
It was enough to have the giant clay bird to get around. She didn't care about the other person's Light and Heavy Rock Technique! "Tsunade! What are you doing in my Iwagakure Village?" The Third Tsuchikage floated to a position slightly higher than the others, looking down at the three of them.
The older they are, the more they care about these seniority rules. No matter how unhappy the Third Tsuchikage was, he could not lose his manners. Tsunade came to the Iwagakure Village as the granddaughter of the First Hokage, and he, as the grandson of the First Tsuchikage, had to crawl out to see her even if he had to crawl.
Hearing the old man's unkind question, Tsunade said loudly: "My disciple Well"
Before she finished speaking, Shizue started coughing in the back. She suddenly came to her senses. Oh no, she didn't seem to be here to challenge the enemy. What other mission did she have?
Shizune knew she had forgotten, so she quickly reminded her in a low voice: "Ask the Iwagakure Village about their views on the East Sea War."
"Yes!" Tsunade said in a loud voice, "Now the Land of Water is trying to reoccupy the East China Sea. Konoha, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure have exchanged opinions with each other. We believe that not interfering in the war of ordinary people is the best option. We want to know the opinions of the Iwagakure Village."
After all, Tsunade had served as Hokage in her original time and space, so she had political talent. Now she was using the tiger's skin and waving the banner. In her mouth, Konoha, Kirigakure and Kumogakure seemed to be close comrades-in-arms. She spoke without a script, expounding on the importance of the five major ninja villages not participating in the war, and she spoke for ten minutes in one breath.
The Third Tsuchikage thought it was very noisy, but he couldn't ask her to shut up, so he could only listen patiently.
After hearing this, he refused without even thinking about it.
"Are you done? You can go now."
Tsunade said with a straight face, "So you are unwilling to cooperate!"
The old man's eyes were as big as copper bells: "I have nothing to say! What do you want me to say?"
