Chapter 355: Hidden Rock Vige


    Naruto could only draw a few conclusions: the position in the n is not important - it is not necessary to be the head of the official. n and position in it is one of the main factors influencing shinobi, which can give submission points. Personal reputation is in question, but it is the reputation in the n (and possibly in the vige) that is the most important factor in determining the ability of a shinobi to issue points. Since Ino (purebred Yamanaka) is the strongest among the rtives, excluding Sai, the strength (namely within the n) is still in question.


    In this case, the conquest of Tsume will answer the question - "does strength matter?". If this is not the case, then only one factor remains - reputation. Then, ignoring the abilities of the candidates, one can make clearer assumptions. If it is only a matter of strength within a particr family, then it will be much easier to identify the necessary figures for subjugation. In both cases it will be easier, but one thing is clear - the n is very important.


    Tsunade, in this case, as has long been clear, is in question. Even though she is the only representative of the Senju, she still bears that surname. In addition, it fits all the parameters for obtaining submission points. Her conquest basically won''t answer a single question.


    That''s just the submission of Yamakage from the Hidden Rock will help solve the issue of quantity. Let''s say if the theory about "fifty points" is correct, and the Kage position gives exactly that much, then it will be possible to calcte the correct number of people needed for a hundred points of submission. This is another reason why Naruto moved to capture this particr vige.


    If for his position, which he was almost eighty percent sure of, they gave fifty points, then considering the received five from Ino, it can be, although not exactly, but one can assume that he needs to subdue only five more people. Even if someone did not give five points, but let''s say only three, then this number will decrease by another one or two people. In general, it will note out hundreds, but still, quite a lot. In addition, by then it will be possible to urately calcte who the system considers worthy of issuing vige subordination points.


    From all this, it can be understood that the choice of Ishigakure is not idental. The reason is simple. In this small vige, even if it is called "Hidden", there are only three ns! Moreover, it has personalities of the level of the Elders of Konoha. Of course, not in terms of strength, but position. They are highly respected by the entire vige. If the theory is correct, then given Yamakage''s position in his n, only three people need to be subjugated - representatives.


    An ideal situation for clearly defining goals around the world. That''s why Naruto didn''t waste time on female Kage, after all, this adventure is a purely male adventure!


    It didn''t take long for the Hokage to cross the remaining kilometers to his destination. Having stopped in the big canyon, he had alreadypletely entered the territory of the Vige Hidden in the Rock.


    The name spoke for itself. The whole vige waspletely immersed in a huge mountain. A real fortress in the rock, perfectly protected from all sides. True, it was precisely this situation that, to some extent, was their main problem, since they were practically trapped, hidden from the whole world. One unfortunate earthquake could not weakly harm the entire vige and its inhabitants. At the same time, it seemed quite difficult to get inside unnoticed, given that all approaches to this fortress were perfectly protected and, in extreme cases, could be blocked.


    In a world where people can literally destroy mountains and continents, Ishigakure''s position was not so sessful, but this is only at first nce. It''s not so bad - they could defend themselves against almost anything. Even in the event of a copse, specially trained ninja teams could contain the destruction, and using many kilometers of underground passages, it was not difficult for all the vigers to evacuate to a safe ce. In addition, most of the buildings in this vige were made of incredibly strong steel!


    A real metal city was hidden in a huge mountain, the shadow of which covered the entire canyon. The "only" official passage was located exactly in this ce.


    For many years, the people of Ishigakure did not have much contact with the outside world, but after and during the war, they still had to reconsider their policy. So now, in times of alliances and long peace, they had acquired connections, although they still continued their seclusion.


    Like underground inhabitants, these people did not particrly like to get out of their holes. After all, there wasn''t much need for it. Underground rivers supplied them with water in abundance, and rather advanced technologies provided the entire city with electricity. In fact, they lived in quite decent conditions, which is why they rarely participated in wars. Although, in part, it was not entirely down to their reclusive nature ...


    The poption and number of shinobi in Ishigakure, even in modern times, left much to be desired. Basically, the vige was inhabited by shinobi, namely representatives of the three ns. There were enough internal conflicts between them, sometimes spilling over into real wars. Although, at the moment, the feud has stopped and the only Yamakage has been recognized.


    Naruto didn''t care much about the past. Only three goals are important:


    Head of the Konjiki n - Ishin Konjiki


    Head of the Akarui n - Yagura Akarui


    Head of the Hai n - Sato Hai


    Three ns with a strange history of enmity and friendship...


    The strongest are known to be Konjiki. Naturally, by virtue of its unique Improved Genome - the Element of Steel. Moreover, Lava Release or Steam Release owners are often born in this n.


    The other two ns are also not so simple.


    Akarui are the perfect Lightning Release wielders. It is partly because of their association with Konjiki that the whole vige is so prosperous. They are not distinguished by genomes, but quite worthy swordsmen and excellent tactics. Their greatest merit is science. The n literally specializes in technology. They say that it was with their participation that many electronic machines appeared in this world.


    And of course thest - Hai. Storm Elemental Owners. The family that controls all the water resources of the vige. It is ironic that it was this n that often entered into political marriages with the heirs of the other two, in the hope of peace, but at the same time it was its representatives who were guilty of many uprisings and civil strife. Although, one thing is clear - together they are the perfect team.
