Chapter 177 Opening Ceremony, Indra
Xingyuan Qianshuo and his group went on a journey that lasted a total of twenty days.
While people were gambling and having fun everywhere, Tsunade's good reputation spread throughout Konoha Village.
News of the "Spark Charity Foundation" gradually spread among the common people, and Tsunade's reputation for being "beautiful inside and out" was widely circulated.
What's even more fascinating is the source of these donations—they were won by Tsunade at the gambling table.
Hokage Building, Hokage Room.
Upon returning to Konoha, Hoshino Senju came to report his itinerary to the Third Hokage.
"Chisaku, you and Tsunade have caused quite a stir this time," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle, a pipe dangling from his lips.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Third Generation." Hoshino smiled slightly, his tone calm. "Most of the money we won this time will be invested in a charity fund."
"Yes, you did a good job in this matter." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his eyes gentle through the swirling smoke. "However, a ninja must ultimately prioritize training. In the future, you should also advise Tsunade to stop going to the casinos so often."
"From now on—I'm afraid casinos everywhere won't dare let Tsunade and me in anymore," Hoshino Senju said calmly. "They might even scrutinize gamblers to see if they've used transformation techniques."
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Most casinos across the ninja world are backed by noble families. If you really treat casinos like ATMs, you'll probably get into a lot of trouble."
Xingyuan Qianshuo's lips twitched slightly, knowing that the Third Hokage was subtly hinting at his relationship with Tsunade.
After their casual conversation, Hiruzen Sarutobi inquired about the situation at the Fire Temple and the details of their contact with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Xingyuan Qianshuo gave a brief report and then took his leave.
Back at the Thousand Hands Mansion.
Before even entering the door, they heard Tsunade's hearty laughter as she excitedly boasted to Kushina about her victories.
"Tsunade-neechan, you're amazing! Two hundred and thirty million ryo, that's so much money!" Kushina's eyes lit up, her face full of admiration.
"Hmph~" Tsunade crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and her smugness was evident.
"Tsunade-neechan, will all this money be invested in a charity fund?" Kushina asked curiously.
"There's so much money, I can't possibly spend it all. It's just a pile of worthless paper anyway, but it'd be more meaningful to do some charity." Tsunade waved her hand, her tone bold. "When I run out of it, I can just win it back anytime."
Xingyuan Qianshuo, who happened to be entering, smiled helplessly upon hearing this.
Go back to those casinos to win money? It won't be long before they have hefty bounties on their heads in the black market.
He walked over and sat down next to Tsunade, casually asking about Kushina's recent situation.
Kurama remained aloof and refused to lend its tailed beast chakra.
Minato is currently on a mission and hasn't returned yet.
The three chatted for a while, and before they knew it, it was lunchtime.
After the meal, Hoshino Senju and Tsunade went back to their room to rest.
During his travels these days, Xingyuan Qianshuo did not just indulge in having fun.
Relying on his enormous chakra reserves, he created shadow clones to continue training, significantly improving his proficiency with his existing skills.
Currently, on the system panel, the proficiency level of all skills has reached at least the "Mastery" level.
While the overall improvement wasn't a leap forward, the mastery of basic skills did take a small step forward.
After returning to Konoha, Xingyuan Qianshuo resumed his daily routine of "being in Konoha while multitasking".
The busiest place is the "Red Cross Headquarters" in the land of fields.
Two days later, all the construction workers there had left.
Xingyuan Qianshuo directly used the Wood Release: Four Pillars Technique to build a brand new Red Cross orphanage, modeled after the new houses of the Konoha orphanage.
In addition, he also built several hotels and residences.
"Is this Wood Release?" Genneng looked at the house that had sprung up in the blink of an eye and couldn't help but exclaim, "Chisaku-kun, your Wood Release ninjutsu is truly incredibly convenient, making our previous construction work seem rather laughable."
"Haha, I never expected to awaken the Wood Release bloodline limit myself," Hoshino Senju replied with a laugh.
Kakuzu remained silent, but his green eyes flickered with complex emotions.
The last time he saw Wood Release ninjutsu was thirty years ago.
That was his battle with the "God of Shinobi," Hashirama Senju—that memory is an eternal glory in his heart.
After the house was completed, the three of them went inside and took a walk around, discussing the next steps in the preparations.
Xingyuan Qianshuo then created another shadow clone to bring Huimei, Saori, and Honoka over.
"Xuan Neng and Kakuzu, these two are Uzumaki Saori and her daughter Uzumaki Honoka," Hoshigen Chisaku introduced. "They are Uzumaki clan members that I found in the Land of the Sea a few days ago, and they will also be important members of the Red Cross Society in the future."
After the two sides got to know each other, the shadow clone took the three to settle down and purchase various living supplies.
Sixty more children will be sent here in succession, and there is a great deal of preparation work to be done.
Saori Uzumaki, a 38-year-old member of the Uzumaki ethnic group, will become the director of a Red Cross orphanage.
The shadow clone, Qian Shuo, took out the "Orphanage Work Guide" written by Nono Yu from his personal space and solemnly handed it to her.
It was filled with detailed notes on how to care for orphans of different ages.
Whirlpool Saori treasured it as if it were a precious gem, praising it repeatedly as she flipped through the pages.
She was initially unsure about taking care of sixty three- or four-year-old children, but with this guide, her confidence immediately increased.
With internal affairs settled, Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered for a moment, then summoned Kakuzu and began searching within the territory of Tian Kingdom.
Before officially opening, they need to thoroughly investigate the ninja forces in the Land of Rice Fields.
Using Kagura's Mind's Eye, he quickly located a ninja gathering place.
It was a seemingly ordinary little village, but it was actually the stronghold of the Fuma clan of the Land of Fields.
The Fuma clan is an old-guard ninja clan in the Land of Rice Fields. Their relationship with the daimyo is neither good nor bad. They have considerable strength, but not enough to establish a ninja village.
"Who is it?"
The two ninjas on duty were leisurely chatting on the roof when they suddenly became alert upon seeing someone arrive.
Xingyuan Qianshuo, now disguised as Kuchiki Byakuya, calmly stated, "We are members of the Red Cross Society, here to visit the patriarch of the Fuma clan."
He has never relied on force to intimidate others, and when dealing with neutral forces, he has always preferred courtesy before resorting to force.
Seeing their imposing presence, the two dared not make a move rashly.
"The Red Cross Society?" A ninja from the Wind Demon Sect asked, looking puzzled.
Another person whispered a reminder: "It's the organization that the clan chief mentioned, the one that does charitable medical care in our Land of Fields."
""
"Oh—go and inform the clan chief. I'll stay here for now."
"Okay, be careful."
Xingyuan Qianshuo and Jiao Bu remained calm and waited patiently.
Before long, an old man in his fifties appeared at the village entrance, followed by six Wind Demon Clan members.
Xingyuan Qianshuo used the system to investigate and learned that the other party's name was Yinglan, but he did not sense much malice from him.
"The Undying Hunter" Kakuzu, and Byakuya Kuchiki?" Yinglan spoke, his tone calm. "I am Yinglan, the patriarch of the Fuma clan. May I ask what brings you two to my Fuma clan?"
"It seems you already know about our news," Hoshino Senju said calmly. "The Red Cross Society has set up its headquarters in the Land of Fields, and will inevitably have to deal with you in the future. To avoid unnecessary conflict, we've come to give you our regards."
"Of course, of course," Yinglan replied with a smile.
As a ninja clan from a small country, they had naturally heard of the name "Undying Hunter" Kakuzu.
Between the two before them, Byakuya Kuchiki clearly held the upper hand—meaning his strength was likely even greater than Kakuzu's.
The Fuma clan is not arrogant; they have always focused on gathering information on the strongest ninjas in the world to ensure the clan's survival.
If a stronger party is willing to accept them, then submission is not out of the question.
Yinglan immediately invited the two inside to talk.
Xingyuan Qianshuo did not refuse.
During their conversation, he took the opportunity to inquire about the various factions in the Land of Fields from Yinglan.
The text mentions the "Death Rhythm Clan," a notorious bandit family skilled in using musical instruments to unleash sonic ninjutsu, a highly distinctive art form.
When he left the Wind Demon Clan, they handed over two outstanding young clansmen to him, which was considered as him joining the Red Cross Society.
Xingyuan Qianshuo handed the people over to Jiaodu for management.
Subsequently, relying on Kagura's perception and the information provided by Yinglan, he traveled around the country to wipe out bandit forces.
He possessed the abilities to sense malice, emotions, and read minds, yet he didn't indiscriminately kill them all.
For example, regarding the Death Rhyme Clan, he only executed a few incorrigible members, and the rest were incorporated into the clan and handed over to Commander Kakuzu.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was also quite interested in the secret techniques of the Wind Demon and Death Rhyme clans and planned to study them.
Over the next few days, he transferred the twelve children who had recovered from Orochimaru's base here and entrusted them to Saori Uzumaki's care.
Yamato and Suzuko were among them.
Everything is ready, and we are just waiting for the association to officially open.
Time flies.
On this day, the sun shone brightly, and the warmth was soothing that even the winter chill was somewhat dispelled.
The capital of the Land of Fields.
Daimyo Mizugaki Haruho and his trusted advisor Tanima Honami, accompanied by a guard led by elite Jonin Kawahara Kama, left the Daimyo's residence to head to the newly built Red Cross headquarters for the opening ceremony.
The construction of the Red Cross headquarters was not concealed, and Daiming was convinced that the organization was indeed going to seriously carry out charitable medical work.
Just as they boarded the nobles' oxcart and prepared to depart—
Suddenly, a huge female projection appeared in the sky to the southwest!
The woman had a gentle and peaceful appearance, with long black hair parted in the middle, wearing a black kimono underneath and a white long-sleeved haori on top.
The projection was fifty or sixty meters high, instantly attracting the attention of the entire city's residents.
"Daimyo, please be careful!" Kurihara Kama's expression tightened, and he instantly became alert.
Just then, the projection smiled gently and spoke.
A calm and steady voice, yet clearly carrying throughout the entire capital, said, "Hello everyone, please don't panic. I am Retsu Unohana, a physician from the Red Cross Society. Many of you have probably heard of the Red Cross Society. We are a charitable medical organization, upholding the principles of the Ninja Sect founded by the Sage of Six Paths in ancient times, and providing free medical treatment to the sick and injured."
"From today onwards, the Red Cross Society is officially open and accepting patients. Its headquarters are located 30 kilometers southwest of the capital."
We welcome villagers who are feeling unwell to come for medical treatment.
As soon as the words were spoken, the projection slowly disappeared.
To promote the opening, Xingyuan Qianshuo used the "Mirage Vision" skill he obtained from Hiruko, transforming his shadow clone into the image of Retsu Ranohana, the captain of the fourth division in "Bleach".
In fact, he could have used this skill to spread the news of the Red Cross Society throughout the entire ninja world and instantly gain a lot of prestige.
But he didn't.
That's too ostentatious. Besides, our current reception capacity is limited, so it's better to proceed gradually and steadily.
After the projection disappeared, the entire capital of the Land of Fields fell into a brief silence, which was then followed by a commotion.
Everywhere you look, people are excitedly discussing the matter.
"My lord?" Kurihara Kama put away his ninja tools and asked in a low voice.
"It's alright, let's keep going." Although Daimyo Mizugaki Haruho was also shocked, his expression remained calm.
"Yes." Kurihara Kama accepted the order and led the team forward.
At the same time, many people suffering from serious illnesses that have not been cured for a long time, or those who are poor and have no money for medical treatment, are moved and pack their bags to go for medical treatment.
In fact, Xingyuan Qianshuo could have set up camp and opened a clinic in the capital, just like he did in Morino Castle in the land of rivers.
But if that were the case, people with all kinds of illnesses, big or small, and even healthy people, would flock to the hospital, wasting a lot of energy.
The distance of thirty kilometers is itself a selection criterion.
Even if a critically ill patient is unable to come in person, their family member can conduct a consultation on their behalf, and he will then make house calls as needed.
The oxcart from the ninja world moved swiftly, and by noon, the daimyo and his entourage had arrived at the Red Cross headquarters.
Xingyuan Qianshuo, in his true form, transformed into the appearance of Kuchiki Byakuya and stepped forward to receive them.
The daimyo did not come empty-handed; he brought with him twenty million taels of silver.
Although the amount was small, the attitude was quite sincere.
With extensive experience in large-scale free clinics, Xingyuan Qianshuo calmly arranged for his shadow clone, Unohana Retsu, to lead Emi and Honoka in receiving patients.
Kakuzu was in charge of leading the guards, while Xuan Neng was in charge of other affairs management.
Patients arrived one after another, and most treatments were simple and quick, so the scene was not chaotic.
Some patients arrived too late to return overnight, so they were arranged to stay in hotels temporarily.
Five days passed in a flash amidst the busyness.
Inside the Red Cross headquarters building, in an office.
Xingyuan Qianshuo sat upright in his office chair and opened the system interface.
Reputation points: 31230.
With a slight thought, he opened the "Shop" and spent 30,000 reputation points to purchase a Bloodline Scroll.
Looking at the orange-yellow reel in his inventory, he focused his mind and chose to use it.
A mysterious feeling descended upon my body and mind once again, as if resonating with the distant past.
It was still those four completely different sensations, corresponding to Indra, Ashura, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and Kaguya respectively.
Before he could even process it, the force of the scroll was directed toward that cold and domineering bloodline.
In an instant, an indescribable power surged from the depths of his blood!
Body and spirit leaped simultaneously, and his eyes instantly transformed into crimson Mangekyou Sharingan with six tomoe!
His pupil power flowed like a spring, endlessly.
After a few breaths, everything returned to calm.
Xingyuan Qianshuo opened the system panel, and a new line appeared in the skill list—
"Bloodline: Indra 37%"
"Is it directly 37%?"
Looking at the chakra amount again—it increased by about 120 million, bringing the total to 375 million.
"This data already far exceeds that of an ordinary Kage-level. However, it's not something we can compare it to right now." Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered for a moment, "At this stage, the only things we can compare it to are probably Nagato in his youth and his age spots."
"My current chakra reserves are probably far less than those of Age Spots. But at this level, I wouldn't be completely overwhelmed."
He shook his head slightly: "We still can't rashly reveal our strength, lest we attract the attention of White Zetsu and Madara."
He could feel that, having the bloodlines of both Asura and Indra, his eyes were slowly undergoing a transformation.
The progress is just a bit slow.
"At this rate, it might take one or two years to awaken the Rinnegan. But if the purity of the two bloodlines is improved further, or if we trace it back directly to the bloodline of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, we might be able to possess the Rinnegan very soon."
