Chapter 111 Selected Target: Human Ayumi
Boom! Tsk tsk tsk!
"Ah, help!"
"Run away, run to the woods!"
"Ninja-sama, please spare my life!"
"The Kingdom of Wind is crazy, Lord Musashi!"
In a village in the southern part of the Land of Rain.
Several black shadows blended into the night, and everything around them was their disguise.
The messy and noisy footsteps, the whistling sound of the wind, the ticking sound of blood dripping, and the wailing sound full of fear...
Every sound was peeling off cocoons in the night, forming a bloody painting on a black curtain. Dozens of prey fled in the dark forest, but they were bleeding amidst the wails and screams.
No matter how angry, fearful and struggling it is, it's all in vain.
Listening to those wails of fear and pain, those black figures showed no mercy, but moved more cleanly.
When the chaotic sounds completely dissipated, the entire village fell into deathly silence.
A moment later, several fires burst into flames in the rain, engulfing the eerie and silent village.
Several dark shadows walked out of the firelight, and even the continuous rain could not cover up the fishy smell of these people.
"No one left alive, right?" The man wearing the eagle mask said in an extremely cold tone, "One hundred and thirty-six people."
Several other people who wore strange masks with different patterns all nodded in response without saying a word.
"Then, the next goal."
The leading ninja nodded slightly and said softly: "It's the village further south..."
When he explained the mission situation, several ninjas who were originally standing in separate positions walked behind one person each.
Poof!!
"Hoo! Ahem!" The leader's eyes suddenly widened, he looked down at his chest extremely stiffly, looking at the bloody sharp branches, he vomited blood in his mouth and said in shock, "What is this...?"
A burst of weird laughter came at the same time, followed by several flops to the ground, and only half of the ninjas were still standing.
"Hehe, there are too many omissions in your plan!"
The faces of those ninjas gradually changed, as if their colors had faded after being soaked by rain, and finally turned into several green-haired white Zetsus. They smiled and said, "Let us help you."
"Only by bringing this country into complete chaos, and only by filling his heart with resentment and hatred can Nagato take the right path."
The bodies of the white Zetsu began to change, gradually turning into the appearance of those ninjas, and ran towards the north in the opposite direction.

"Is this the greenhouse?"
Yahiko seemed to be unable to hear any noise, including the sound of the river waves hitting the shore outside, the noisy wind blowing in the night, and even the chirping of insects that should have been in front of him.
The entire greenhouse is 30 meters long, 6 meters wide and 3 meters high. The overall structure is composed of steel frame and drip-proof film.
The hanging lamp above the head spreads a gentle warm light downwards, illuminating the tender green vegetable leaves with a halo of dew, and the sprinkler sprinkles the water in the air to illuminate a faint rainbow.
The water droplets from the ring sprinkler splashed on Yahiko's dazed face, but looking at the several experimental fields covered by greenhouses in front of him, he only felt an inexplicable and unreal feeling of being in a foreign country.
The green rice seedlings are spread out in strips.
"Morning light No. 1 is a first-generation hybrid produced by crossing two rice varieties with excellent traits and complementary qualities."
Aki stepped on the cobblestone path between the experimental fields and introduced it to the Kumokawa and others as he walked forward: "It is characterized by good environmental adaptability, strong resistance to waterlogging and low temperature, and can be planted in large areas."
"The current disadvantage is that it is not tolerant to drought and insect pests..."
This new hybrid variety is completely designed to cooperate with soilless cultivation.
"Speaking of which, I can breed new varieties..." Looking at Kumokawa beside him, Aki said with emotion, "Thanks to you for instilling in me the concepts of sample control and hybridization a long time ago."
"I have to measure it every day to see how it is growing, record it, and then compare it with the sample fields..."
As he spoke, Aki scratched his head and joked: "So, you really put a lot of burden on me."
Listening to Aki's detailed explanation, Kumokawa slowly knelt down, looked at Yahiko who looked confused, and said with a smile: "Tell me what soilless cultivation is?"
Hearing this, Yahiko suddenly came back to his senses. Unable to hide his curiosity, he knelt down and looked at the rice seedlings protected by the insect-proof gauze. He suddenly showed a look of astonishment and said, "Soilless cultivation? It literally means 'soilless'."
"'ah?!"
He stared at the entire cultivation device with wide eyes, only seeing the foam planting boards on which the crops grew, and the liquid nutrient cups covered with a layer of black film, into which the plant roots were inserted.
The nutrient solution passes through the water pump of the liquid storage tank, then passes through the pipeline, liquid outlet, and cultivation bed, flows out of the liquid outlet, and then circulates back to the liquid storage tank.
"There is no soil suitable for crop growth in the Land of Rain, and soilless cultivation uses an artificial rhizosphere environment to replace natural soil cultivation of crops, and cultivates crops in artificially prepared nutrient solutions to provide nutrients at regular intervals."
Kumokawa touched the rough and prickly leaves and explained with a smile: "Even in the Land of Rain, where soil farming is not possible, cultivation can be carried out by artificially controlling light, temperature, moisture and other conditions without being affected by changes in the climate and environment."
At this point, Kumokawa seemed to have thought of something. He looked up and asked Aki: "Remember to go to the garrison department to borrow a few people and seize the time to perfect the control system."
This set of technical equipment should be composed of five parts: protection system, cultivation system, circulation system, control system and oxygenation system.
Now only the protection system, cultivation system, and circulation system have been completed, and the control system and oxygenation system can only be controlled and intervened manually.
Previously, it had been limited by the technological level of its subordinates, but now it should be possible with the help of the Uzumaki clan.
"Garrison Department? Okay!"
Although he didn't understand what the so-called garrison department was, Aki nodded without hesitation: "If we can complete the automated and mechanized production line, we can automatically provide regular and quantitative supplies to save labor."
"We still need to train our subordinates and students." Kumokawa shook his head and smiled, "If there are more people to help, we can open more experimental fields at the same time and conduct many experiments at the same time."
"The experiment that originally took five years to complete may be completed in one or two years. There is still a lot of time to continue to improve."
Hearing this, Aki couldn't help scratching his head, and said with a simple and heroic smile: "I will not let down your trust, Lord Kumokawa, and I will definitely grow super seeds that combine all the advantages!"
"..." Listening to the conversation between the two, Konan blinked, feeling like her mind was filled with questions, "How can such a seemingly complicated thing be used for farming?"
She couldn't help but think of the land where her family once planted. Compared with these pieces of land, it was nothing.
Just when a few people wanted to continue looking, the door of the greenhouse behind them was suddenly pushed open.
Kumokawa and others subconsciously turned around and saw the girl with a calm face.
She was wearing a black raincoat, her shoulder-length black hair that was ruffled by the strong wind was dripping with rainwater. The raindrops gathered on the tip of the girl's forehead and finally fell.
"Huh?" Konan tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Why did Sister Ayumi come here? Shouldn't she stay in bed in this kind of weather?"
Kumokawa couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Ayumi should be regarded as my secretary and bodyguard now."
Although Ayumi is still relatively immature, with her personality and talent, she will become Kumokawa's hand sooner or later.
The only problem is that as a guard, she is not powerful enough yet...
"Brother," Ayumi looked at Kumokawa and said softly, "There is a small village within our jurisdiction that was massacred."
Hearing this, Kumokawa's originally smiling pupils narrowed slightly, and then he stood up slowly and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Seeing his boss's expression, Yahiko shuddered subconsciously.
After pondering for a moment, Kumokawa looked at Ayumi and asked, "I seem to have forgotten to bring you a gift when I came back this time."
"I'll make it up for you now."
As he spoke, Kumokawa's consciousness sank into his mind and he looked at the card he had not seen for a long time.
