Konoha's Scarlet Flower Moon

Chapter 111: Immortality and Ninjutsu Practice

an underground laboratory

It was approaching late at night, but the underground laboratory was brightly lit, and Orochimaru was doing research every minute.

Recently, he has been concentrating on studying the secret technique of Taki Ninja Village, Ji Yu, the legendary technique of immortality.

The specimen of Ji Yu was given to him by Hanazuki. The black tentacle-like appearance really did not fit Orochimaru's aesthetics.

However, after research, Orochimaru discovered that this strange black substance contained the personal information of the Earth Resentment Master Kakuzu, or in other words, fragments of his soul.

Orochimaru developed the steps for forming Kakuzu's Earthly Resentment Yujutsu.

The first step of the Earth Resentment Yu is to use chakra to support it, allowing him to grow in the body of the practitioner, replacing the original body tissue of the practitioner, and slowly spreading throughout the body. After this process is successful, the soul of the magician will coexist with the earthly resentment.

In the second step, the formed Earth Resentment Yu can use its tentacles to seize other people's hearts and obtain chakra. Earthly Resentment Yu uses these chakras to clone and proliferate itself to form a monster similar to Kakuto's main body, which is equivalent to a physical clone that can take over the soul.

If the heart of Kakuzu's original body is destroyed, the Earthly Resentment Yu monster formed will return to Kakuzu's original body, allowing Kakuzu's soul to be transferred to a clone that can continue to produce chakra and continue to survive.

This also means that as long as there is still a heart that can produce chakra and the Earth Resentment Yu remains active, Kakuzu will be in an immortal state.

The previous heart is old and broken, so replace it with the next one.

But the weakness of this technique is also obvious.

Orochimaru estimated that after Kakuzu's heart was completely destroyed and there was no chakra for a period of time, Ji Yu would die, and his soul would also die with Ji Yu's death.

Orochimaru speculated that Kakuzu, who used the Earthly Resentment Yu, could no longer be called a human being at this moment. The appearance was just a layer of skin, and the Earthly Resentment Yu that contained his soul was the real body.

Orochimaru, who fanatically pursues immortality, looked at this current example of "immortality" and suddenly felt that this model was a bit inconsistent with his own aesthetics.

Look at this pathetic guy Kakuzu. After he ceases to be a human being, all he has to pursue in his life is money!

Giving up the human form seems to be a really bad idea.

Orochimaru had originally had the idea of ​​​​materializing his soul and using the celestial power of Ryūchi Cave to transform himself into a white-scaled snake that could seize other people's bodies.

But if given a choice, no one wants to become a monster.

Now Orochimaru feels that even if he wants to pursue immortality, he still hopes to achieve it in human form.

In this case, Orochimaru felt that some of the ideas found in studying the Earthly Resentment could be used for reference.

For example, first remove the binding relationship between birth and soul, and then use cloning technology to create a young person that matches your own soul, and transfer the soul to the new one without rejection to extend your life span.

It is only a matter of time for Orochimaru to overcome the difficulties of cloning technology.

As for the movement of the soul, Orochimaru has also learned the art of spiritualization that can freely control the soul.

However, if the spiritual transformation technique does not return to its original state for a long time, it will lead to the death of both the soul and the soul. Therefore, it is necessary to find a source of power that can harmlessly untie the core relationship of the soul.

The problem returned again, to find the power that allowed Uchiha Kagetsu to have the human body of a fairy.

The power that can give an extremely weak child a fairy body should be powerful enough to allow the soul to enter a new body without "death", right?

Eternal life is within reach.

"Da da"

There was the sound of water dripping on the floor, and someone entered the underground laboratory.

"You came just in time, I will leave tomorrow."

Orochimaru didn't even need to turn around to know who was coming.

This is because there is only one person in Konoha who can prevent Yamato guarding the door from warning him.

The visitor is Hua Yue.

She left a shadow clone in Uchiha's room, hiding from the eyes of everyone, and quietly came to see Uncle Orochimaru.

On Huayue's shoulder, Dingchun's little orange lion stood energetically.

Sadaharu originally wanted to maintain the arrogant character of the cat clan, but when he saw Orochimaru's fanatical look like a snake looking at prey, he trembled inwardly and forced himself to calm down.

Kagetsu knew that Uncle Orochimaru must want to study Soharu again, so he subconsciously plucked a piece of cat hair from the little lion's neck and handed it to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru took it very naturally,

Huayue suddenly realized how she had developed such a habit. Could it be the sequelae of regularly submitting blood samples before? ?

! ;This habit is not good,

I'm not a test subject!

Huayue kept telling herself not to encourage Frankenstein's arrogance. Therefore, she expressed doubts about Orochimaru not leaving the village for so long.

"Uncle Orochimaru, didn't you say you were going to the Kumo Ninja border before?"

Orochimaru rubbed his eyebrows: "Where Minato went, the old man changed his mind. I'm going to support Tsunade now."

Kagetsu heard a message from these words and was very worried: "Did something happen to Sister Tsunade?"

Orochimaru didn't think it was necessary to keep Hanazuki's information secret:

"It's not a big problem, it's just a defeat on the battlefield. You should also be prepared. If nothing happens, you will have to go to the battlefield within two months."

Huayue didn't show any surprise when she heard the news.

Orochimaru smiled, "You are also eager to prove your strength."

He felt that, essentially, Hua Yue and he were the same type of people, pursuing power and obsessed with cultivation.

Indeed, Huayue no longer has any fear of going to the battlefield.

Different from the way adults focus on protecting the new generation,

Huayue is indeed looking forward to going to the battlefield. She is eager to fight with more powerful enemies, and even eager to fight. It is like the beastiality hidden in her blood, which is an unavoidable part of Huayue.

However, Huayue does not want to become a beast and fall into the abyss.

She wants to fight against her dark side and learn how to restrain her bloodthirsty instincts and remain rational.

Regarding war, Huayue felt that she could only find a way to change her destiny after witnessing the fate of the worst-destined ninja as a tool of war.

Now, she came to Orochimaru, hoping that he could help her create a barrier to practice fire escape.

It's because, after fighting against the ninja cats, Huayue discovered a problem with her tactics:

She has no group attack ninjutsu that can be used from a distance!

This will put Kagetsu at a disadvantage in her tactics.

Kagetsu can use Kagura's Eyes to find enemies from a distance, but has no way to defeat them from a distance.

Look at her current attack skills:

The strange power fist is a close attack, the flame armor is a defense and damage bonus, the fire sword is also a close combat, and the Sharingan illusion is also the most effective in close combat.

However, in close combat on the battlefield, isn't that something that is done only in the final fight?

In a situation where the battle could have been ended from a distance, he ended up having to rush out and fight in close combat.

Huayue felt that she would be regarded as a monkey sent here

That picture is simply intolerable!

You must learn long-range large-scale ninjutsu!
