Chapter 854 Feeling the Intention to Retreat
In fact, when they first installed the seawater desalination equipment on the beach, some villagers from nearby areas came to check it out.
Many areas of the Land of Wind are short of water and resources, and the seaside is the easiest place to obtain these things.
Wherever there is a coastline, there are villages scattered about to some extent.
Although there is food, freshwater resources are relatively scarce.
Groundwater in coastal areas typically has a boundary between saltwater and freshwater.
This is what is known as the "freshwater/saltwater interface." If a well is located too close to the sea, drilling too deep may penetrate this interface, causing the well water to become salty.
The people here don't know this knowledge, and whether they can dig a well and get fresh water depends entirely on fate.
Although distillation and sun-drying methods can extract the fresh water needed for daily life, that's about it.
Besides the lack of water, there is also the problem of saline-alkali land, making it very difficult to grow crops.
The people here mostly lead a life of part fishing and part farming.
The lack of roads means that fish caught can only be exchanged for other items nearby. Money is scarce here, so bartering is the norm.
Forget about high-tech stuff, there wasn't even electricity.
Besides fish, the local food also includes millet and a cactus-like fruit.
Many people never leave their local area in their entire lives.
I have eaten fewer than five kinds of vegetables in my entire life.
Their living standards were extremely poor.
Chiyo roughly explained the living conditions here to Karin.
Karin also recalled that before she and Mio wandered to Kusagakure when they were children, although the environment was better, they still had a hard time.
"Although the people in these places live in the Land of Wind, the Sand Village doesn't care about them at all."
“Our people simply told them that we could bring them fresh water, as well as various drought-resistant plants, and create green spaces.”
"The village chief will soon join us."
After listening to Chiyo's words, Karin understood why Chiyo spent so much time greening the land.
The people here know nothing about what's happening in Sunagakure, and they don't even know who the Kazekage is.
They felt no sense of belonging to the Land of Wind.
They've just always lived in this place.
Now that they've settled in Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, they naturally want a better life.
"The water source here has been solved, and there's enough green space for us to cover the Demon Desert."
"Our Konoha will announce that anyone who surrenders to our Land of Fire will be entitled to free water."
"Let's see how Sunagakure responds this time."
Qian Yao said with a smile.
Karin reached out and touched a black diamond-shaped pattern between Chiyo's eyebrows.
"Master, is your magic storage full?"
Qian Yao nodded slightly: "It's fully stored, and my strength has improved considerably."
He had previously considered storing the mixed Sage Chakra directly.
When the Yin Seal is broken, the surging Sage Chakra will bring him tremendous explosive power.
It's important to know that in the combat system after Qianyao, immortal techniques will be a very important component.
After all, it is very difficult to harm the Otsutsuki clan with ninjutsu made of chakra.
But magic is different; firstly, it can enhance the caster in all aspects.
Secondly, the Otsutsuki clan does not have a system of Sage Arts.
It is also unable to absorb ninjutsu enhanced by Sage Mode.
I have now mastered all the changes in the Yin and Yang attributes of Qianyao, including water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder.
Qianyao's body has also become much stronger.
At least the potential is greatly enhanced.
According to Orochimaru's calculations, to become a Kekkei Shrine, one must learn the nature transformations of water, fire, earth, wind, and lightning.
His Yin and Yang attributes must reach the same level, plus a large amount of chakra, for his bloodline to be further enhanced.
However, the amount of Yang attribute in Qianyao's body is much less than the amount of Yin attribute.
Although Orochimaru transplanted Karin's organs into Chiyo, the amount of Yang-attribute chakra he generated was too small to match his Yin-attribute chakra.
Qianyao's current strength has reached a bottleneck.
The only options are to wait for the Yang attribute chakra to increase gradually, or other methods.
Qianyao was at a loss for what to do at the moment.
I'm going to take care of other things first.
……
The Land of Water.
After a month of playing hide-and-seek, the Raikage and others from Kumogakure were unable to eat or sleep properly.
Apart from the two Jinchūriki, everyone else looked terrible, with bloodshot eyes and dark circles under their eyes.
"Have the people of Mist Village caught us again?"
Raikage was tearing into a half-cooked wild boar leg as he moved around.
He's eaten too many military ration pills; he can't stand it without some meat.
Even though the pork leg wasn't cooked properly and had a foul smell, the Raikage forced himself to start gnawing on it.
Kaifu's eyes were sunken and lifeless; he answered wearily:
"Yes, Lord Raikage, after all, Yagura Karatachi is a Jinchūriki."
"His recovery ability is quite strong. They must have split into several groups."
"There were several times when they were quite close to us, but they didn't come to attack."
"Perhaps Kirigakure intends to drag us down here."
The people of Kumogakure aren't stupid either. They've been chasing Kirigakure for so long without actually trying to intercept them.
Kaifu had already figured out what Wuyin meant, but they were already desperately trying to conceal their whereabouts.
They were always found by the Hidden Mist.
This undoubtedly puts all the people of Yunyin in a passive position.
All their previous plans were ruined because Kirigakure had someone suppressing their senses.
They didn't know that the reason Kirigakure was able to hold on so tightly this time was entirely due to Chiyo's Kagura Mind's Eye.
With this top-tier sensory ability, given enough chakra, he could even extend his sensory range to the entire Land of Water.
Chiyo's clone is a replica of Yagura, the Jinchūriki, so he naturally has enough chakra from the Three-Tails, Isobu.
The people of Yunyin have nowhere to run.
If it weren't for the constant messages coming from the village saying that Konoha had stopped advancing on the battlefield in the Land of Wind...
The Raikage and the others had already gone back.
Their condition is already quite poor, and the Raikage is not confident of victory against Kyokotsu.
"Let's go back; we won't get anything out of this place."
Raikage swallowed the cooked part of the pig's leg whole, leaving the half-cooked part as it was too fishy and smelly.
Thinking back, I've been hiding and running away from the Land of Water for the past month.
However, they are the backbone of the Hidden Cloud Village, and they absolutely cannot be harmed.
He couldn't bring himself to confront Kirigakure head-on, and he was incredibly frustrated.
The Raikage wasn't even sure if the people from Konoha would come to the Land of Water.
After all, the attack on the desert side has been halted for a long time.
He didn't dare to gamble.
Killer Bee and the others breathed a sigh of relief; in fact, they had wanted to leave for a while.
But since the Raikage didn't speak, and they were only a little tired and hadn't encountered any danger, no one else said anything.
Now that the Raikage has announced his return, everyone is in unison.
They moved quickly towards the sea.
