Chapter 209 No Money (Subscription Request)

Although he was not mentally exhausted, Ryosuke fell asleep slowly under Hinata's gentle massage. When he woke up, the sky outside was already red, and it was evening. Hinata beside him had left at some point, and perhaps because he was in a very heavy mood before going to bed, he slept a little drowsily and did not notice the movement around him. "It seems... I was not deleted." Ryosuke laughed at himself, feeling helpless about his crazy thoughts before going to bed. He did not expect that such a wild idea would appear in his consideration. However, looking at the dim room and the sunset outside, he unconsciously stretched out his palm and bit the middle of his index finger hard. It hurt, and it was real. A deep dark red tooth mark appeared on the index finger, and it even bled faintly, but soon, the wound healed quickly under the influence of his physique. After doing this subconsciously, Ryosuke was stunned again.

The helpless emotion calmed down instantly until it was completely calm.

He stood up, all the expressions on his face were restrained, and he came to the door.

Reason told him that this dangerous idea could not continue. In the absence of more information to think about, he would only cause his emotions and spirit to have problems if he kept thinking about it.

But the reality he came into contact with made him think uncontrollably.

After all, Ryosuke didn't even know how he died in his previous life.

His memory of his previous life stayed in one morning when he woke up from a dream, went to work as usual, and then came to this world.

How did he die, why did he appear here after death, and whether he came into contact with the mythical Naihe Bridge or the underworld during this process, Ryosuke had no idea.

This also made everything like a dream, without a beginning, only a process.

But everything in front of him was so real, so it was definitely not a dream.

"Ryosuke? You're awake, time to eat..."

A familiar voice sounded in the distance.

When he turned around, Ryosuke saw Hinata coming from the bright corridor.

But before he could greet her, Hinata suddenly stopped talking and looked at him with some vigilance.

"What's wrong?"

Ryosuke asked in confusion.

"You..."

Through the residual light in the evening sky, Hinata carefully saw Ryosuke's face and breathed a sigh of relief, "What's wrong with you? It was scary just now."

Scary?

Ryosuke looked a little confused.

Did I... do something just now?

"It was so dark, I almost thought it was an invader."

Hinata patted her chest and looked at him in shock.

"Did you not recognize me?"

Ryosuke took a step forward, "Maybe my body has changed after the transformation."

But soon, he denied this statement in his heart.

Every time he transforms, his body shape will change, there is no doubt about it.

This is also the reason why he has a better physical feature than ordinary people even though he is not very old.

But no matter how he changed before, whether he grew taller or became stronger or contracted his muscles, Hinata could recognize himself and would not feel strange because of the transformation, and the same is true for other people in the family.

But this time...

"It doesn't seem to be a physical change..."

Hinata scratched her hair, a little distressed and couldn't figure out why, "Forget it, let's go to eat! The dishes tonight are all very good. I just secretly went to the kitchen to take a look. They are all your favorites."

Ryosuke chuckled and replied casually: "You like it too."

The two of them have similar preferences for food, and both prefer meat.

I didn't dwell too much on things that I couldn't explore at the moment, or maybe Ryosuke was trying hard to resist thinking about these issues.

If I think about these now, I might become a lunatic in the eyes of others.

He knew this very well...

The Hyuga family's dinner tonight was indeed very sumptuous.

There were all kinds of dishes, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, and they were all cooked in different ways, including charcoal grilled, steamed, and boiled in sauce.

The tempting aroma filled the entire dining hall.

But the taste did not make people feel greasy or nauseous, but instead deeply aroused the wildest instinct in people's hearts, the instinct for food.

There was a large table full of dishes, and even the usual dining table was temporarily added with a set of dishes. It took two tables to put together to put all the plates.

However, even if the amount of food was almost doubled, it was not difficult for the four members of the Hyuga family, who were from a physical arts family.

In the first half of the dinner,

the spoon and chopsticks collided on the porcelain bowl, and the sound of tinkling kept ringing.

But eating fast does not mean that you will eat like a pig.

There was no smacking of lips or slurping sounds at the table. Although there were occasional sounds of eating, they were not too loud. The overall atmosphere was very quiet, like a piece of delicious music.

And it was not until the second half that there were sounds of conversation.

"During the time you were in seclusion, there was news from Xingcai that they had been discovered by the alien."

After drinking a bowl of fish soup comfortably, Hyuga Hiashi, who had lost his fighting power due to old age, was the first to withdraw from the battlefield and began to talk to Ryosuke.

"Just as you speculated, the alien is indeed called Shanks, and he is very powerful."

Talking about business, Hyuga Hiashi's tone became serious, "He is currently living in the Saki family in Saki Castle. It seems that he has reached some agreement with the Saki family, or the noble forces of the Land of Fire, and is helping them do something."

"According to the news sent back by Xingcai and the others, in a face-to-face confrontation, they were directly knocked unconscious by the other party using unknown means, an ability that looks very much like a high-level illusion."

"This is what I introduced to you before, the Conqueror's Haki."

Ryosuke held He picked up a charcoal grilled lamb chop and explained: "You can understand it as a kind of spirit, the spirit of the king."

"This illusory spirit is constantly improved in battle after battle, and finally has substantial destructive power, which can directly cause a certain degree of damage to people's spirits."

"Although this offensive is considered a mental offensive, it depends more on people's will to a certain extent."

"People with weak wills may not be able to withstand the impact of this spirit even if they have studied Yin Dun techniques deeply."

He didn't care about the Saki family mentioned by Hinata Hiashi at all, and only talked about Shanks.

"It sounds amazing."

Hinata commented that it was terrible to be able to knock down experienced ninjas including Hinata Xingcai directly.

"Does this mean that if we want to fight against such a person, we must not only be superior to him in combat power, but also be prepared to maintain a strong mental will at all times during the battle?"

Hinata Hiashi pointed out the key point, "You can't be cowardly, otherwise you will be defeated immediately because of the influence of this domineering color domineering?"

"You can think so."

Ryosuke hesitated for a moment, "This domineering color domineering has strengths and weaknesses, which depends entirely on the ability of the awakener himself, and the influence on the will is also different, so it is impossible to judge where the lower and upper limits are. . "

However, seeing their worried expressions, he added: "But according to intelligence, there are very few people who can awaken this Conqueror's Haki. Not even one person among tens of millions of people can appear, so we don't have to worry too much."

"Not even one person among tens of millions of people can appear?"

Hinata Hiashi was a little surprised, "The number of ordinary people and ninjas in our Land of Fire is only tens of millions."

"So on average, it's probably one person per country? That's acceptable."

He was a little relieved from his distress.

The plan they made to explore the other world, although the primary goal is the world where Sakata Gintoki and others are,

but from the current benefits, the other world with devil fruits is the best choice. If they have the opportunity to explore this world, their family's combat power is likely to increase dramatically in a short period of time.

But if everyone in that world is like Shanks, mastering the ability of Conqueror's Haki, then they basically don't need to explore, and they even have to worry about being invaded.

"So...what is Shanks' attitude at the moment?"

Ryosuke has not yet considered entering the One Piece world, as this is still too far away. "After being discovered, Xingcai and the others were able to pass on the message, so his attitude should be quite kind, right?"

"Yes, if we show our willingness to negotiate peacefully, he is also willing to sit down and have a peaceful conversation with us."

Hinata Hiashi nodded, "He did not restrict Xingcai and the others' activities, and kindly said that it was up to us whether he came to arrange the time and place, or we arranged the time and place."

After a pause, he said expressionlessly, "He seems to be very confident in his own strength."

"After all, he is a man with the qualifications of a king. Since we are so frank with each other, he certainly does not want to be weaker than others in terms of momentum."

Ryosuke replied with a smile, "And he has also seen the strength of the "jonin", the relatively top combat power standard in our world. Perhaps it is also based on this reason that he is confident that he can talk to us on an equal footing, so he is so straightforward."

"In this case, we just need to find a time to invite him to come."

Shanks is definitely not an arrogant person.

He has a good overall view and is very good at communication, so perhaps he dares to make such a proposal with a certain degree of confidence.

After all, the standard of Conqueror's Haki is not to become a brave and iron-headed kid.

"Jonin? Alas..."

Hinata Hiashi's tone was inexplicably a little emotional, "I don't know when, Jonin is no longer a high-end combat force standard in our Hyuga family, it can only stay in the middle."

Looking at Ryosuke's puzzled eyes, he explained: "You didn't pay attention to the family affairs later, so you may not understand."

"Now in the family, even if you are a Jonin level, it's not enough, you have to have achievements in other aspects, and these achievements are not only limited to combat, medical treatment, barrier, escape technique, even command, management and financial management..."

Since Ryosuke has shown his powerful strength again and again to raise the upper limit of the family, the whole family has entered a period of rapid development. The whole family is working hard to move forward, and anyone who is a little slack will soon be left behind.

Even the clan members who have no talent in the family secrets and blood will start to improve themselves from other directions.

Just like the five elements Yin and Yang escape technique that no one was willing to study before, now there are already many people who can't shine in the family inheritance and begin to focus on this aspect of development.

Only the level of Jonin can no longer satisfy the desires of the clan members.

For example, Hyuga Hoshicai and Hyuga Iroha, although both are jonin,

one has made outstanding achievements in medical ninjutsu and has researched many results to improve the family's combat power,

and the other has extremely good command ability, which are the differences between them and ordinary jonin.

They can't find a way to break through the upper limit of combat power like Ryosuke, so they can only start with other abilities.

"It sounds... the consumption of resources is very large."

Putting down the chopsticks, Ryosuke became the second person to withdraw from the battle.

For this thriving development, he was of course happy in his heart, but the first problem he thought of was the consumption of resources.

"Indeed..."

Hinata Hiashi looked at Hinata who was still fighting hard at the table, "We can't sustain the consumption at all, but you have to ask Hinata for details. She is in charge of all the logistics of the family."

"Money..."

Hinata's mouth was full, and she heard about her and replied vaguely: "The money in the family is not enough."

"I still have a lot of resource applications in my hands. If they want to find another way out, money is definitely indispensable."

"But our family doesn't have so much money, not to mention the food and clothing expenses, the research fees for various spells and barriers, the site repair fees, and the material fees."

"Our family is now full of enthusiasm, but we don't have money to work."

At this point, she complained to Hinata Hiashi again. "Father, I have raised this issue many times. You should think of a solution as soon as possible. They are waiting at my place every day, just in case someone cuts in line and grabs resources."

"I have raised this issue in several meetings, but there is no solution for the time being."

Hinata Hiashi replied regretfully: "Although our clan has many channels to obtain resources away from Konoha, the bulk of our clan's supply is still the funds that the Fire Country allocates to Konoha every year."

"Even if Konoha has taken away most of the funds that the Fire Country gives to Konoha, the resources allocated to our family are still much more than the resources we get from other channels."

This is the result of a large country's direct tilt of resources.

Even if it is divided into many small portions, these small portions are still larger than the amount they steal.

"It will take time, we have to do it slowly. We can't just give up the business in Konoha and find a big country to settle in. Although our clan already has the ability, it's too much of a loss."

Hyuga Hiashi reminded Hinata, "Be more stable. Although our clan doesn't have enough resources, it can also be seen as a sharpening."

"We will select the best from them and pour in, instead of satisfying all their applications at once. The better the proposal, the more beneficial it is to the development of the family, and we will give it to them."
