"That's right, this is a unique product of the Strike the Blood world. Although I am a vampire, my essence is still that of a Hakoniwa vampire. Even though I possess special factors that allow me to ignore the sun due to my master, I fundamentally lack the Familiars power system that would allow me to join Strike the Blood. Therefore, I can't discern these things."
"Then why am I able to see what's inside this seal?"
"Because you, Master, are the progenitor of all bloodlines, the apex of all legends related to bloodlines in countless worlds. You can directly understand anything related to vampires, without any conditions."
Alright, the progenitor of bloodlines is awesome.
"Okay, it seems I can only continue to look at them one by one, and classify them along the way."
Having already given Sasuke one, Wang Xiaoming now intends to give Naruto one as well. However, Wang Xiaoming plans to give Naruto a support-type Familiar. He can't give this guy too much combat power; he's too easily brainwashed. Then, he needs to find a control-type Familiar to control the Allied Shinobi Forces he'll face later, making them obediently offer up their chakra.
"Hmm? This one seems promising."
Wang Xiaoming counted and counted, eventually landing on a Familiar that felt quite good.
"Master, have you found something?"
"Jet-Black Nightmare, that's the name of this Familiar. After being summoned, it looks like a ghostly shadow. It can engage in close combat and attack from the enemy's shadow, but that's just its basic attack ability. Its main ability is to directly induce large-scale hypnosis, causing those around it to fall asleep, making it easier for it to attack them from their shadows in their dreams. Essentially, its direct offensive power isn't particularly strong; its strength lies in its powerful control ability. It can even make True Ancestor-level Familiars fall asleep."
Being able to make even True Ancestor-level Familiars fall asleep... with this kind of control ability, making these ninjas fall asleep, even Shadow-level ninjas, would be a piece of cake.
Wang Xiaoming handed the Familiar Bullet containing the [Jet-Black Nightmare] to Leticia.
"My luck is pretty good. Although there are 6,500 of them, I found a suitable one after only a few."
"Master's luck has always been good."
Leticia accepted the Familiar Bullet, marveling at Wang Xiaoming's luck, then revealed a sly smile.
"However, Master, finding a suitable one is useless. You still have to sort out the remaining six thousand-plus, otherwise, you'll end up having to search haphazardly like this time."
"Alright... that is indeed a problem."
A helpless wry smile appeared on Wang Xiaoming's face, but he soon smiled again.
"However, Leticia, it'll probably be difficult for you to see me working hard. Do you remember how I extracted these Familiar Bullets from those children in the first place?"
"Master, you wouldn't be thinking of using a machine to identify them, would you?"
Leticia looked at Wang Xiaoming in surprise.
"That's right!"
Wang Xiaoming smiled smugly.
"I just need to analyze the characteristics of these Familiar Bullets myself first, then analyze the characteristics of these Familiars. When the time comes, I can create a magic analyzer that can directly analyze them through the machine itself, allowing me to classify and package all six thousand-plus Familiar Bullets. Then, I'll just have to search within each category."
"Alright, I forgot that you're also a researcher, Master."
Although Wang Xiaoming rarely relies on his initial skills during battles these days, Gray Wolf is still awesome!
"Then, let's get moving! I'm going to prepare a surprise for those ninjas!"
511. Falling Asleep Five Seconds After Meeting
The ninjas of the Five Great Villages did not advance from a single direction. Although Uchiha Obito had declared war, he didn't bring as much pressure to the Five Great Villages as he did in the original plot. This led to the Five Great Villages not gathering together, but instead fighting their own battles.
The Land of Wind, closest to Rouran, was the first to act. The Sand Shinobi Village possessed a geographical advantage in the desert, and their ninjutsu was more suitable for use in the sand. After obtaining intelligence, they immediately mobilized all available Jonin. As for Chunin, they didn't bring them along because it was meaningless. The enemy was able to capture the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki of the Five Great Nations without them even knowing, which was not a war that Chunin could participate in. Going would only be courting death.
The Land of Wind's few Jonin, led by the Land of Wind's veterans Ebizo and Chiyo, advanced towards the Rouran ruins.
Rouran was located at the junction of the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire. The Land of Wind could quickly reach this place, and so could the Land of Fire. However, the Land of Wind was ultimately a little faster. After all, they didn't even have a Kazekage, and everything was decided by the two veterans above.
The ninjas of the Land of Wind were very familiar with Rouran and quickly arrived outside the Rouran ruins. Standing on the desert, looking at the giant trees that stood out from the ruins, the leaders Ebizo and Chiyo couldn't help but sigh.
"It can actually grow so big..."
"Is this the power of the Tailed Beasts gathered together? It's truly terrifying. Such a large volume, even if it fell, it could directly destroy our village, right?"
"Regardless, we must find a way to retrieve Shukaku. We have already lost Gaara and Rasa. If we lose even Shukaku, we might not even be considered one of the Five Great Nations."
Chiyo, as the person in charge of the Land of Wind, had a clear stance. She knew what her purpose was. The Land of Wind was too weak compared to other countries. They couldn't win, they really couldn't win. Therefore, every time they went to fight the Land of Fire, they lost. But there was no choice, they had to fight. The Land of Wind had nothing. It was really incomprehensible why the Kazekage chose such a dilapidated place in the first place. Even choosing the Land of Rain would have been better. Although the area was small, at least there was land to plant!
"Sister, should we go in?"
Although Ebizo was a strong person, he didn't have much of his own opinion and basically listened to Chiyo.
"Yes, let's go in. At least we need to figure out what Shukaku's current situation is, and then find a way to bring it back. If we can't bring it back, then we'll temporarily retreat and wait for the people from Konoha to arrive."
"Okay!"
Ebizo followed Chiyo's orders and waved his hand towards the Jonin behind him, leading them towards the Rouran ruins.
They couldn't all enter at once, so they divided into two groups. The first group was led by Ebizo, while Chiyo led the people behind as insurance.
Ebizo walked in the front. As the strongest in the troop, it was necessary for him to lead the way. However, after taking more than a dozen steps forward, he suddenly lost consciousness and fell straight down.
"Lord Ebizo!"
The ninjas behind saw Ebizo suddenly fall and quickly wanted to go forward to check the situation. As a result, one of them accelerated and rushed to Ebizo's side, suddenly losing consciousness and then rushing out with his body leaning forward, sliding five or six meters on the sand before stopping and becoming motionless.
"Lord Ebizo!"
The third ninja looked at Ebizo and his deputy beside him, both with bewildered expressions. But the first thing they chose to do was to go forward to save people. As a result, after only a few steps, this group of Jonin fell to the ground one by one. Everyone Ebizo brought out was wiped out!
"Ebizo!"
Chiyo shouted loudly, but Ebizo didn't respond at all, as if he were dead. But Chiyo could feel the chakra in Ebizo's body was still flowing. He wasn't dead, nor was he injured, but he had fallen down. What was the situation? Genjutsu?
Who was the attacker, where did the attack come from, it was completely invisible. This was the desert, how could they do it from such a distance?
While Chiyo was puzzled, she immediately summoned her puppets. The people of the Sand Shinobi Village were best at using puppets to attack, because the ninjutsu they could learn was really limited. It was either Sand Release or Wind Release, otherwise it was puppetry.
Because she didn't know where the other party was hiding and attacking from, Chiyo chose to use puppets to test the waters, after all, puppets were not affected by Genjutsu.
The puppet made of wood and iron flew out directly under Chiyo's control, flying to Ebizo's side, picking up Ebizo's body from the ground, and then flying back to Chiyo's side.
"Huff ~ ~ ~ Huff ~ ~ ~ ~"
As soon as it landed, Chiyo heard Ebizo's even breathing.
“？ ？ ？ ”
Chiyo looked at Ebizo, who had been carried back by a puppet, utterly bewildered.
You stinky little brother, you're actually sleeping?
Chiyo couldn't help but give him a kick!
But what bewildered Chiyo was that after this kick, Ebizo was kicked to the ground and rolled around twice, but he didn't show any signs of waking up.
He was asleep, but unaffected by attacks, unable to wake up!
“Is it a genjutsu?
It shouldn't be, even after being attacked, he still can't wake up, what kind of genjutsu is this?”
While Chiyo was puzzled, she immediately directed the troops behind her.
“All puppet masters, move out and bring back the others.”
The puppet masters each took out their own puppets, released them, and brought back all the fallen ninjas.
Chiyo looked at them one by one, and found that these ninjas who were brought back, like Ebizo, were not injured, but were all asleep.
What's going on?
No, what kind of technique is this that can directly affect so many Jonin and even Ebizo, and still be effective without any reaction?
How is this even possible, even a kick can't wake them up.
Chiyo tried to interfere with Ebizo's chakra with her own chakra, hoping to break the genjutsu, but it was still useless, which made Chiyo frown, not understanding, not comprehending.
“Chiyo-sama, what should we do, everyone is unable to wake up.”
Jonin Maki looked at the sleeping people and anxiously asked Chiyo.
Chiyo looked up at the distant Divine Tree.
“Take these people down and settle them down.
Maki, you personally go to the Land of Fire.
We'll wait for the people from Konoha to come, and then see what the people from Konoha do.”
512 . Sage Jiraiya
Chiyo is a smart person, after all, she is an old immortal, so she understands that Suna can no longer afford to consume any more resources.
If they continue to consume, Suna will be finished.
Now, among the older generation of Suna, only she and her brother Ebizo are left, and the younger generation, Rasa is dead, Gaara is also dead, and Maki is unreliable.
There really aren't any powerful young people, they can only be said to be ordinary Jonin, there's really no hope for Kage-level.
Therefore, Chiyo wants to preserve as much of Suna's remaining strength as possible.
To be hit by genjutsu after only taking a few steps is simply beyond their ability to deal with.
The people of Suna are far behind Konoha in the practice of genjutsu.
Konoha has several clans that are good at genjutsu, the Yuhi clan, the Kurama clan, and the most famous Uchiha clan, while Suna is more miserable, they don't have any, they only know how to play with sand and puppets.
Therefore, Chiyo decided to let the people of Konoha test it out.
Konoha's Nine-Tails disappeared.
Although Konoha has never used the Nine-Tails for combat, Konoha has always hoped to have a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to help Konoha fight.
After all, the Nine-Tails is the strongest of the Tailed Beasts.
If they have this strongest Tailed Beast to help, their Konoha's strength will naturally not suffer, right?
Konoha didn't make Maki wait long.
Soon he saw the Konoha army coming from the direction of the Land of Fire.
Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, as well as Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, as well as Kakashi and Might Guy, etc.
This time Konoha can be said to have come out in full force.
Of course, Konoha also has a lot of defensive forces there, for example, the main force of the Hyuga clan is still in Konoha, the Shimura clan and the Sarutobi clan are also defending in Konoha, after all, Danzo Shimura's Root is still in Konoha.
Maki's waiting made the people of Konoha very curious.
The people of Suna should be gathered to find Shukaku.
“Jonin Maki, you are here, are you perhaps waiting for us?”
Kakashi, who is also a Jonin and had fought with Maki in the Chunin Exams, went up to negotiate with Maki.
“I am ordered to wait here for everyone from Konoha, to explain the current situation to everyone from Konoha.”
“Just say it, what is the situation there now.”
From here, you can clearly see the towering Divine Tree.
Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, directly came up to inquire, she was too lazy to beat around the bush.
“To be honest, we don't know either, Hokage-sama, I came here to ask if everyone from Konoha knows of a genjutsu that can make people fall asleep.”
“Genjutsu?”
Tsunade frowned, she knew that Konoha had several clans that were good at genjutsu.
“That's right, the vanguard ninjas of our village suddenly fell asleep while going to investigate the situation, and they can't be awakened no matter what, they are not injured, and their chakra is running normally, but they are always in a state of sleep.”
“What kind of technique is this, have you heard of it?”
Although Tsunade said that she knew some things about the village, she had been away for many years, and it was normal for her not to know about some new techniques that were developed, so she chose to ask the others around her.
“I don't know, I have never encountered this technique, could it be the Sharingan?”
The Sharingan has a magical technique like Tsukuyomi, so it seems possible that there is a technique that can make people fall asleep, isn't it?
“It seems you don't know either, take me to see it.”
Tsunade understood that Jiraiya and the others didn't know either, so she could only go and see it herself.
The main force of Konoha followed Maki and acted quickly, and soon came to the Suna camp.
Because the two villages had just experienced a war, and it was the kind where Suna was very unreasonable, so Suna's attitude towards Konoha was very good, they had to be, their Shukaku was gone, and the Kazekage was also gone, and the other side directly sent two of the Sannin, they couldn't beat them at all.
“Tsunade-hime, long time no see.”
Chiyo, as the temporary leader of Suna, took the lead in greeting.
“You're not dead yet, Chiyo.”
“Hehe, this old woman's life is long, maybe I will live longer than Tsunade-hime.”
Although the village is not Konoha's opponent, they can't be cowardly verbally!
“Then I hope you can live to that time, old woman.”
After saying the harsh words, Tsunade looked at Ebizo beside Chiyo.
“What, this old guy was also affected?”
“That's right, my brother was the first to be affected, please Tsunade-hime come and take a look.”
Because Suna had already surrendered, and everyone had suffered a lot of losses, and the culprit was Orochimaru, so Konoha didn't let Suna compensate for anything.
After all, it was useless to push Suna too hard, they had no money in the first place, if you pushed them too hard, they might really fight to the death, so there was no real demand.
“Well, let me do it.”
Although Tsunade said that the Sharingan ninjas were very powerful, her greatest strength was as a medical ninja.
A medical ninja can change the battlefield, especially for Suna, Suna is good at using poison, and medical ninjas just happen to restrain them, so if you let someone go to treat them, Tsunade can be said to be the most suitable ninja.
Arriving next to Ebizo, Tsunade looked down at Ebizo and began to observe his situation, but no matter how she looked at it, there was no problem, the chakra was not a problem, the body was not a problem, and there was no poisoning, but he had entered a deep sleep state, it could even be said that he was sleeping like a dead pig, even kicking him wouldn't work, so what was going on?
“Can you tell me how it happened at that time?”
Tsunade asked Chiyo.
“I don't know either, they just walked towards that Divine Tree, and then suddenly fell down after only a few steps.”
That's useless to say.
“I need to see the scene in person to know what's going on.”
“That is to say, you need a sample?”
Chiyo frowned, did she have to send another person to fall asleep?
Half of the people she brought out of the village were already asleep, and she couldn't continue to lose them.
Tsunade could naturally see Chiyo's reluctance, but seeing it didn't mean she was willing to let Konoha's people go, Suna's people were people, and Konoha's people were naturally people, and couldn't be used to test.
“Let me do it.”
At this time, Jiraiya stood up.
“Jiraiya, what are you talking about!”
