Chapter 934: Chapter 747 Ninjutsu Business Innovation_2

"After Shura died, people rumored that he was hidden in the shadows, secretly worshipped by evil ninjas, and only secret forbidden techniques could resurrect him. Seeing this ghost now return to the world of the living indeed gives a sense of how things have changed," Nanase Kizuna said, landing on all fours and following beside Xu Yang.

"You’ve lived for over a thousand years, you must be quite familiar with the rise and fall of civilizations," said Xu Yang.

"Yes, especially during the warring states period, with shoguns and daimyos rising and falling in power. The once famous ninjas, swordsmen, and warriors are now all dead. Many were remarkable back then and now are forgotten. I’ve witnessed the Demon King unite the Archipelago, the western army defeat the eastern army; it all seems like a dream now! After you’re gone, I will also chat with people hundreds of years later about the achievements you’ve made," Nanase Kizuna lamented.

"That’s really kind of you. But how would you evaluate me to future generations?" Xu Yang asked curiously.

"I can only pass judgment after you die," replied Nanase Kizuna slyly.

"Then I’ll try to live a little longer..."

...

Meanwhile, after two hours of surgery, Tsuchigumo had her severed hand stitched back on.

Xu Yang came to visit her, carrying a large safe.

"Mr. Xu..." She greeted Xu Yang and saw the safe, "What’s that?"

"The highest-quality Ninjutsu Scrolls, along with a bunch of secret recipes and methods for drawing talismans like explosive ones. The entire village’s knowledge is in here," Xu Yang said, weighing the safe in his hand.

"What! You actually got them! Where did you dig them out from? Did you rob Shura?" Tsuchigumo exclaimed in surprise and joy.

"Just did some minor work," Xu Yang said, "I plan to scan all this ninja knowledge into electronic archives; it’s all about information processing now, flipping through by hand is just too cumbersome."

"Informationalized ninja?" Tsuchigumo asked curiously.

"It’s an important direction for innovation. In any case, we should be able to find a way to rebuild a new Shinobi Village in Shangjing," Xu Yang nodded.

"The village’s ninjas have all been killed. They received a message and went back to protect the village, only to be murdered by Rebel Ninjas, such a pity," Tsuchigumo said with regret.

"Nestor Corporation has a miraculous way to save lives, 336 people died to protect the village, and ultimately 15 were restored to health, retaining relatively complete memories and spirits. They can probably be of some help," Xu Yang commented.

Because the Law of Recovery does not work on souls, many were only restored in flesh, lost their souls, and became empty husks without a spirit.

Like Senzoune, they can only maintain basic physiological functions, devoid of memory and learning abilities.

If it were an evil corporation, they would probably extract their brains, insert electronic ones, and control these husks, or kill them to avoid wasting food.

Nestor Corporation, on the other hand, lets them lead simple lives.

Only those with particularly resilient spirits, who have a strong attachment to the mortal world, can preserve their souls without disintegration for a longer period and return to society with a complete spirit upon resurrection.

"Now that I think about it, refusing Shura’s proposal to become the new leader of Shinobi Village does seem regrettable," Tsuchigumo said with a helpless, bitter smile.

"Do you still intend to help clean up the mess left by the ninjas?" Xu Yang asked.

"Of course." Tsuchigumo refused to be the 22nd head but still cared for the future of Shinobi Village.

"I’d like to borrow your dojo, it’s spacious and equipped with many training facilities, isn’t it? We can start anew from there," Xu Yang suggested.

Tsuchigumo’s heart stirred, but she also felt difficulty.

"Of course, you can. I wouldn’t be able to use such a large venue all by myself anyway. But, to start the ninjas again? How should I do that? I don’t know how to train ninjas that would fit into this era," Tsuchigumo said, puzzled.

"First, find ninjas with a good foundation and make them excellent role models. This way, we can combat against the illusions of ninjas presented in stage plays, and let people know what real ninjas are like. By the way, can I borrow your name? Mishima Naomi, what a nice name," Xu Yang said.

"Go ahead," Tsuchigumo said somewhat shyly, but she agreed.

Thus, Xu Yang implemented a series of measures to revitalize the ninja business.

At Tsuchigumo’s District 24 ninja dojo, the "Mishima-ryu" Ninjutsu Dojo was officially established, with Tsuchigumo as the head agent, while other ninjas took on important teaching roles, specifically teaching "authentic" ninjutsu from the Shinobi Village.

They expanded the dojo and imprinted the large characters of "Mishima-ryu" on the exterior wall of the building, making it appear particularly majestic.

Every day to and from work, Tsuchigumo would look up and feel that this was her highest standing in life.

District 24 is part of the new city of Shangjing, with reasonable planning and convenient transportation. Ninja culture naturally has popularity and recognition in the Northern Archipelago. As long as the promotion is done right, many citizens will join for the excitement, ensuring a steady stream of students.

Xu Yang believed that Shinobi Village has been too focused on selection in the past; to maintain the inheritance of martial arts, it is necessary to first expand the base of participants.

Taking advantage of the dojo’s opening popularity, Xu Yang had the ninjas establish a clear assessment system, divided into internal and external fields.

The external field was just for fun, with the main focus on experience, and included certain assessment elements.

Referring to other martial arts inheritances, external field ninja training was divided into levels 1 to 9, and ordinary people could reach level 6 after practicing casually for a period.

The dojo would issue a ninja certification to satisfy these people’s vanity, allowing them to try out some of the ninja acrobatics as if learning magic. Spending a few hundred bucks, they could learn techniques like rope escape or smoke techniques, which are very practical and enough to show off to friends at small gatherings. The dojo could also serve as a gym for exercise.

From level 7 in the external field, the assessment difficulty increases, requiring hard work to refine both body and mind, gradually introducing physical and mental challenges.

After all, ninjutsu is the technique of endurance.

If one can reach the highest level of 9 in the external field, it shows that they truly have the aptitude and perseverance to study ninjutsu.

If they are of good character, with no criminal record, they could enter the internal field to learn powerful ninjutsu. From body techniques and sword tactics to powerful illusion techniques and escape techniques, everything is available.

Xu Yang flipped through the forbidden ninjutsu scroll and found that the highest-level techniques, similar to piloting mechs, could summon super-sized purple puppets to stand by one’s side, almost as powerful as high-level witches, but required special bloodlines and vision to release.

Kyoto Infinity had also tracked such ninjutsu families in the past. Indeed, there are still some members alive, but they have all become commoners, living ordinary lives as wage workers.

Xu Yang pondered that when he has time, he could ask them if they wanted to learn the lost bloodline ninjutsu and be absorbed into Nestor Corporation.

Tsuchigumo also felt very positive during the operation process.

The only problem was that now she had two cold jokes stuck in her head.

The first was "You’re a spider, you can get on the web anytime."

The second was "In the past, you would have been called ’Just a spider’."

These two cold jokes were so bewitching that Tsuchigumo felt she would never forget them in her lifetime... ah, forget about these two lines!
