I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

However, unlike the previous Robin Hood-style robbing of the rich to help the poor, the revived Liangshan Marsh is aimed at building the Star Kingdom's elite force.

For example, the puppet army of Sunagakure, the demolition squad of Iwagakure, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

The Star Kingdom has developed to this day.

Besides having military strength that is close to that of the other four major powers, the development of elite troops is naturally not lagging behind.

Your Majesty.

Including Uchiha Shisui, there are a total of 108 outstanding young talents from the Land of Stars.

These people were the second-generation members of Liangshanbo selected by Naraku.

It was even done to inspire and promote the reputation of Liangshan Marsh.

A month earlier, Naraku had given Uchiha Shisui and others a large amount of Tiger and Wolf Pills, solely to enhance the strength of the Second Hokage, Ryozanpaku.

Waved.

A series of black armor suits equipped with crimson longswords flew out from the bronze tower.

Under Naraku's control of his true energy, he landed precisely in front of each member of Liangshanbo.

"Drip your blood onto the armor and swords before you," Naraku said calmly.

Despite their doubts, Uchiha Shisui and the others did not hesitate to take out kunai, cut their palms, and drip the blood onto the armor and long sword in front of them.

The blood stained the surface, and the black armor and crimson blade immediately absorbed the dripping blood.

As this scene unfolded, Uchiha Shisui and the others' expressions changed, staring in astonishment at the armor and long sword before them.

In their perception, the armor and longsword felt as if they were connected by blood.

"【Black Armor】【Crimson Blade】These two are weapons I specially crafted for you. I hope you will not let them down!" Naraku said slowly after completing the blood oath ceremony with Uchiha Shisui and the others.

Although the "Blazing Sun Technique" is only at the beginner level, the condensed blazing sun fire can not only be used to kill enemies, but also for refining weapons and alchemy.

The same applies to the Purple Gold Cauldron.

Although the main focus is on alchemy, the array formations depicted also include those that aid in weapon crafting.

Furthermore, as the Star Kingdom grows stronger, it becomes increasingly convenient to collect medicinal herbs and materials.

Ordinary elixirs and magical artifacts are no longer enough to put pressure on Naraku.

The Black Armor and the Crimson Blade are examples of this.

One hundred and eight sets seem like a lot.

However, for a low-grade magic weapon like this, which is considered one of the lowest ranks among human-level magic weapons, Naraku could refine it without any difficulty, but it was still a piece of cake.

Chapter 266 A ruler who does not betray his subjects, and a subject who does not betray his ruler.

Let's talk about the situation with the [Black Armor] and [Red Blade].

Although these two magical treasures are only low-grade human-level magical treasures, their power is still far superior to that of ordinary ninja tools.

For example, the conductivity of chakra.

Whether it's the [Black Armor] or the [Crimson Blade]

Both can conduct chakra perfectly, just like chakra metal.

In addition, there is sturdiness, etc.

Like [Black Armor].

In terms of durability, it is effective against both physical attacks like taijutsu and energy attacks like ninjutsu.

Normally, attacks like those from B-rank ninjutsu wouldn't be able to break through the defenses of the [Black Armor].

Even attacks that exceed the defense's capabilities can be effectively buffered.

The Crimson Blade is even more formidable.

In addition to its basic sturdiness and sharpness, it also has a special blood-sucking function.

This blood-sucking ability not only harms enemies, but also converts the absorbed blood into energy, aiding in the recovery of physical strength and injuries.

Take Liangshanbo as an example.

Once equipped with the Black Armor and the Crimson Blade, even those ranked at the bottom in strength will possess the combat power to fight against Jonin.

Naraku, who had the ambition to transform Liangshanbo into the elite force of the Star Kingdom, treated Liangshanbo with exceptionally generous treatment.

[Black Armor] and [Red Blade] are only one aspect.

Its members are also entitled to a salary.

In addition to money, it also includes resources such as Tiger and Wolf Elixir.

Next, Naraku explained the situation regarding the [Black Armor] and [Red Blade].

Everyone, including Uchiha Shisui, looked at the [Black Armor] and [Red Blade] with burning desire.

After the meeting concluded, the Liangshan heroes who left the palace couldn't wait to head to the nearest training ground, eagerly experiencing the power of the [Black Armor] and [Crimson Blade].

"Wow, the Black Armor and Crimson Blade that His Majesty bestowed upon us are truly amazing."

“Indeed, even when I stabbed the Black Armor with all my might, it didn’t suffer any damage.”

"The Crimson Blade is also very powerful. Not only is it as light as a feather to hold, but when I slash at rocks, it's as if I'm cutting through tofu."

"Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty, to be able to forge such powerful weapons. If my elders were to witness the power of the [Black Armor] and [Crimson Blade], they would probably be green with envy."

"That's true. Take the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, for example. Aren't they fought over by the ninjas of Kirigakure? If word gets out about our [Black Armor] and [Red Blade], it will definitely arouse the envy of countless people."

"Ahem. Alright, I think everyone has already experienced the power of the [Black Armor] and [Crimson Blade]. Now let's talk about the mission."

After experiencing it, the young talents of Liangshanbo discussed it with smiles on their faces. Finally, Uchiha Shisui stepped forward.

Uchiha Shisui was the youngest member of Liangshanbo.

But just as Naraku would appoint Uchiha Shisui as the captain of Ryozanpaku.

Thanks to resources like Tiger Wolf Pills, Uchiha Shisui, though not yet having evolved the Mangekyou Sharingan, is now at least as strong as Uchiha Itachi was before he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in the original story.

His strength is so outstanding that even without the [Black Armor] and [Red Blade], he is capable of fighting ordinary elite Jonin.

Of course, Naraku's high regard for Uchiha Shisui stemmed not only from Shisui's talent but also from his loyalty.

Although it was a Star Country that changed allegiance and joined the Star Kingdom.

However, Uchiha Shisui not only integrated well into the Land of Stars, but also showed great loyalty to him.

This is the main reason why Naraku appointed him as the captain of Liangshan Marsh.

Similarly, Uchiha Shisui did not disappoint Naraku's high regard.

His own excellence has earned him considerable prestige within Liangshan Marsh despite his young age, thanks to the month of joint training he had previously undergone.

Uchiha Shisui's words immediately silenced everyone else, and all eyes turned to him.

"Captain-Commander, do you have any ideas?" asked a young and promising member of the Inuzuka clan.

“There are some. His Majesty has entrusted us with the task of establishing Liangshan Marsh's reputation. I believe the best approach is to find a target and use that person as a stepping stone,” Uchiha Shisui nodded and said.

"That's certainly a good approach, but which stepping stone should we look for?"

"The other four major powers?"

"That probably won't work. The other four major powers are not to be trifled with either. Seeking them could easily trigger a war."

"How about we find some skilled rogue ninja or bounty hunters?"

"That's possible, but with such a nomadic lifestyle, it will probably take quite a while to find a place where we can make a name for ourselves."

"Actually, I have a great option. I don't know if you've heard that someone in the Land of Tea has established a new Konoha."

"You mean Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha?"

"Yes, whether it's Tsunade or New Konoha, these two are definitely the best stepping stones."

"This"

During the discussion, the Liangshan members expressed their opinions, until someone mentioned a certain goal, which made the expressions of many people present somewhat complicated.

Many members of Liangshanbo came from Konoha.

They were naturally familiar with Tsunade.

"We are people of the Star Kingdom, and we are loyal to His Majesty."

Although Tsunade and Konoha have a history with many of us, I hope everyone understands that we are now on opposite sides, and some things must be clearly distinguished.

Uchiha Shisui looked around at everyone.

Upon noticing the complex expressions on the faces of many of them, he began to speak in a low voice.

His original philosophy did indeed prioritize protecting Konoha and his clan.

But ideas can change.

Just as the clan chief said.

It wasn't their clan that betrayed Konoha, but Konoha that betrayed their clan.
