Escape From Konoha

In the dust-free laboratory, Shiraishi came here around three o'clock after working in the afternoon.

Except for Lin who was active in the laboratory alone, the other five people were lying on the operating table that was easy to operate, covered by a glass coffin, and fell into a deep sleep.

The difference is that Zhongwu, as the source of the curse seal, is lying on a separate operating table, and the other four people, that is, four people, are lying on four operating tables side by side, conducting observation experiments.

Observing through the transparent glass coffin lid, it was found that except for the fact that the five people were asleep, their breathing was even, their faces looked like normal people, and they showed no symptoms of discomfort.

"Teacher Shiraishi, you are here."

Noticing Shiraishi's arrival, Lin just said a faint hello, and then adjusted the instruments there. The sensor lights in the glass coffin covering the four people's bodies began to flash, sometimes red and sometimes green, as if they were in the glass coffin. Treading between danger and safety.

Only the sensor light on Zhongwu's operating table has always been green and is in a safe state.

"How is it going?"

Shiraishi put one hand in the pocket of his white coat, glanced in the direction of the four people, and asked softly.

Lin looked quite distressed and frowned as she replied: "Except for Chongwu, the qualifications of the other four people are not very good. Although their bodies are indeed higher than ordinary people in terms of sensing and absorbing natural energy. ...But if the energy in their bodies is directly converted into senjutsu chakra, they will probably die of mental collapse, or their rationality will evaporate and become a beast that only knows how to kill. Just like those failed experimental subjects of Orochimaru."

Immediately, her eyes turned to Jugo, with a flash of light: "Jugo's situation is relatively stable. I have never seen a human being who is so in line with natural energy. What he lacks is correct guidance. In the past few years, he has been following Sasuke. , he should have learned the Immortal Technique system created by you, teacher, and is only one step away from the complete Immortal Mode. It is not difficult for him to use the Immortal Technique initially."

"As expected, his physique is different from ordinary people. He has been able to unconsciously introduce natural energy since he was a child. If not, he would not have been favored by Orochimaru, and based on him, things like the curse seal were developed."

"The curse seal is an inferior form of magic, but as long as it is magic, no matter how low the threshold is, most people will be excluded. If it is forced to be implanted... I have read Orochimaru's experimental data, it is really crazy. .”

Lin sighed, with lament in her eyes.

There are huge risks in the cultivation of natural energy. If you switch to a higher level of magic, the risk will become even greater.

Even though the Kingdom of Ghosts has a well-established senjutsu system, the number of ninjas who can master senjutsu is still a small minority.

Unlike natural energy, if immortality is forcibly implanted, no matter how many experimental subjects there are, it will not be enough.

Just the rigid requirement of huge chakra means that celestial magic cannot be popularized.

The more powerful chakra is, the more it needs a hard 'container' to contain it. If the 'container' itself is not hard enough, the chakra will burst the meridians that circulate chakra throughout the human body, which may cause a person to be disabled for a lifetime, or at worst, Died suddenly on the spot.

This is the same as the Jinchuuriki as the tailed beast container.

Tailed beast-level chakra requires a 'container' that is enough to contain it. If the container is not of good quality, no matter how many people come in, they will be overwhelmed by the tailed beast-level chakra and die.

Kidomaru, Tayuya and the other four people also fell into this problem.

Their qualifications are limited to natural energy. If they want to get to the next level to obtain magic, their own 'container' is not enough.

Not only is his physical fitness unqualified, but his chakra level also does not meet the minimum requirements for learning senjutsu.

"It seems that the idea of ​​creating four more senjutsu ninjas is in vain."

Shiraishi said, but there was no regret in his tone.

After all, from the beginning, he had high expectations for the four of them to become senjutsu ninjas.

Since I don’t have high expectations, it is reasonable for the experiment result to fail, and I won’t feel disappointed.

"However, even if they are unable to learn complete senjutsu, I think they still have talents. If they can survive Orochimaru's experiments, their own 'containers' will not be bad. For example, diluted Immortal magic chakra is injected into their bodies."

Shiraishi changed the subject and made this suggestion.

"Is this okay? Even if it is diluted senjutsu chakra, there are very few ninjas who can withstand it."

Lin seemed hesitant.

"Since they can withstand the erosion of Orochimaru's curse seal, I don't need to say more about their willpower. Maybe, we can try to guide them in the direction of the Xuan Yu Zhong."

Shiraishi pondered for a moment and said.

The existence mode of the four people is very similar to that of the Xuan Yuan people.

They are all standards for cultivating natural energy, but they cannot further learn the magic of immortality.

Unless it completely changes the physiological structure of the living body and becomes a non-human existence, such as his seven clones.

Most human bodies have limits, and no matter how they are modified, they will soon reach their limits.

Shiraishi's body also has limits. Although he barely meets the standards for practicing immortality, without the Dragon Vein Crystal as an external container to store chakra, some of his tricks cannot be used easily in actual combat. This will make His own strength is greatly reduced.

Therefore, there are existences like clones that transcend the limits of the original body.

And if you want to completely break your upper limit, you must abandon your original body and replace it in all aspects.

The Four People and the Xuan Yuan were partially transformed, and some of them were inhuman, but most of their bodies were still the same as normal humans.

Completely transformed like Orochimaru, his life characteristics are more inclined to the White Snake Sennin of Ryūchi Cave than to humans.

Even so, it is not that easy to obtain magic.

"I understand. If it is a modified body like Xuan Yuanzhong, it will take half a month to a month."

Lin estimated the time and said to Shiraishi.

The curse seals on the four people have been removed, which also means that the four people can no longer use the power of Orochimaru's curse seal. Their regular strength is roughly between chunin and jounin.

If the similar modification system of the Shangxuan Monkey King is replaced, no surprise, the Demon Kingdom will add four more Jonin-level combat capabilities.

"However, should they keep their own secret skills? Or should they replace them with other secret skills?"

Lin asked again.

The reason why the forbidden technique was not replaced with the secret technique was because the filling of the forbidden technique was too harsh.

At the level of four people, it is estimated that it will be difficult to withstand the backlash of the power of the forbidden technique.

"Just keep the original spell system. Their abilities are quite interesting from the data. If you want to find another secret spell that suits their physique, one month is not enough. After all, the 'core' is made from scratch. At least it takes more than half a year to get started.”

Shiraishi smiled and said.

"I know, let's get started."

Lin nodded and got to work.

Shiraishi also helped, but his focus was not on the four people, but on Jugo, who was born with the body of an immortal.

Moreover, Chongwu's immortal body is not an immortal body in the ordinary sense. It is an immortal body that can absorb natural energy independently.

Therefore, compared to the four people, Chonggo's physique is the object of Shiraishi's focus.

If the secret of the opponent's physique can be revealed, perhaps the current magic system in the Kingdom of Ghosts can be optimized.

◎

June 10th.

It has been about a week since Sasuke came to the Demon Country.

In addition to the necessary 'care' every day, Sasuke will also spare some time to summarize the day's battle experience and absorb experience.

After these days of special 'care', Sasuke discovered a fact that he had to admit.

That's because he lacks fighting experience with ninjas of the same level.

In Orochimaru's place, Orochimaru himself would not take the initiative to be his sparring partner. Kakashi also had his own affairs. Therefore, the sparring work was basically done by four people and the ninjas of Otogakure Village.

But neither the four of them nor the other ninjas in Otogakure Village would be the targets for him to hone their strength.

Even the subsequent battle with Orochimaru focused on the spiritual realm and won with the power of the Sharingan.

In areas of hard power competition, such as taijutsu and ninjutsu, they are almost blank.

It was precisely for this reason that Ruri's Susanoo and Ayane's taijutsu impressed him so much. The combat experience of such a competition of hard power was exactly what he lacked.

From being crushed at the beginning to being able to find opportunities to fight back later, this is all the result of his gradually becoming more proficient.

Although there has not been much growth in strength, there has been a huge improvement in combat skills and awareness.

If he encounters a similar situation next time, this experience will tell him how to fight to achieve the greatest effect.

This is as important as strength growth.

The foundation of a ninja depends on one's own quality, but the skills and awareness during combat require corresponding intensity of combat. This is something that can never be learned by just relying on imagination.

"I've already thought of today's tactics, so come on over."

Arriving at the training ground, Sasuke's first words to Ruri were this.

He did not think about defeating Ruri. As long as Ruri activates Susanoo or uses the so-called eye technique 'Eight Thunder Gods', then his strongest offensive ninjutsu, Thunder Release Kirin, will not only lose its use, but will also be defeated by Ruri. Take it away and become Liuli's weapon to attack him.

Therefore, in this restrained situation, defeating Liuli is an impossible luxury.

Therefore, after Sasuke understood this fact, he decided to change his existing tactics, that is, to see how long he could last in the opponent's hands and how many gaps he could seize with his own strength in the training ground where the ground was a prison. How many counterattacks.

Hearing Sasuke's words, Liuli shook his head, eyes indifferent, and said: "No, there is no need to fight today."

"No need to fight?"

Sasuke frowned, wondering what Ruri was thinking.

Liuli put down his hands crossed on his chest and said to Sasuke: "Through these days of simulated battles, I already know where your upper limit of strength is, and you absorb experience very quickly. It is of little significance to continue to simulate battles. Therefore, next I will teach you the moves belonging to the Uchiha clan, allowing you to break through to a higher level."

"A higher level...what does this mean?"

Sasuke was a little confused.

"Didn't Orochimaru tell you? The Uchiha clan of the Demon Country is different from the Uchiha clan of Konoha in the past. At the stage of the Three Magatama Sharingan, the current Uchiha clan ninjas of the Demon Country can use it. Use part of Susanoo's power."

Liuli said quietly.

Sasuke's body trembled, a cautious look in his eyes.

"I have heard about this, but before I met you, I had never seen the so-called Susanoo with my own eyes. Could it be that..."

"Well, starting from today, you have to learn this. But before learning, I would like to ask, to what extent do you know Susanoo?"

Ruri looked at Sasuke and asked this question.

Sasuke relaxed his brows and began to think back, and said: "As far as I know from Orochimaru, Susanoo is the third power that can be unlocked after opening the Mangekyo Sharingan. It is also called the power of the God of Destruction. "

Sasuke didn't believe it until he saw the real thing.

But after having a simulated battle with Ruri, he did have a yearning for Susanoo's power.

Compared to taijutsu and ninjutsu, which are cumbersome and require timing to be effective, Susanoo completely ignored this.

With just one stroke of the sword, it can cause more terrifying destructive power than ninjutsu.

Moreover, this move can ignore physical attacks. Sasuke tried the strength of the Ruriglass Susanoo. He once broke through the blockade of the Ruriglass Chakra Giant Sword and attacked the Susanoo with a Chidori transformed from senjutsu. No holes could be made.

Sasuke knew that Susanoo's hardness was terrifying.

Conventional taijutsu and ninjutsu are simply meaningless in the face of such defensive power.

As for the Uchiha who learned this move, they only need to drive Susanoo to keep slashing, and simply and roughly crush all the enemies. There is no need for too many complicated operations.

With such power, it only takes one person to change the outcome of the entire battlefield.

"Do you only know this? But that's about it. After all, there are very few records of the existence of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Even the Konoha Uchiha clan in the past did not know enough about this aspect. So, let me explain it. , Susanoo is roughly divided into five stages."

Liuli stretched out the five fingers of her right hand.

"Five stages?"

"Yeah. This is the first stage."

As he spoke, dark red chakra erupted from Liuli's body, forming a huge dark red skeleton covering his body.

Although the pressure was not as strong as in previous actual battles, Sasuke still subconsciously narrowed his eyes and tensed his nerves.

"Susanohu in this state is relatively fragile. Currently, most of the elite jounin of the Uchiha clan in the Kingdom of Demons stay at this stage. Even very few people have reached this stage and can only partially manifest it. Even so, But it can also block most taijutsu and ninjutsu attacks, making it invincible on the battlefield."

Liuli explained this.

"What about the second phase?"

Following Sasuke's words, the originally dark red skeleton giant immediately attached its meridians and flesh, including a thin outer skin.

"This is the second phase, where defense and destructive power will increase again."

Before Sasuke could ask further, the Susanoo on Ruri's body changed again. Based on the flesh, flesh and skin, it further developed a thick and huge armor, and holding a huge chakra sword in his hand, he became even taller. A giant warrior, only with an upper body instead of a lower body.

"This is the third stage. As for the later fourth stage, the lower body is embodied on this basis, which greatly improves Susanoo's mobility. The defensive power and destructive power are basically the same as the third stage."

Sasuke was shocked and speechless.

He didn't expect that Susanoo, whom Ruri fought with before, was only in the third stage, not even the fourth stage. Even so, the beating made him look disgraced and run away in embarrassment.

Then the perfect body after that, wouldn’t it be...

"So, which stage can you use?"

Sasuke asked the question.

"Currently, it can only reach the fourth stage. The Mangekyou Sharingan can generally only reach the third stage. After learning senjutsu, you can touch the fourth stage. As for the complete Susanoo, within a hundred years, only Uchiha Madara can One person touches that realm. The Susanoo method of opening the complete body requires two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan to fuse to form the Eternal Mangekyō before it can be opened."

Listening to Liuli narrating these secrets, Sasuke was deeply touched in his heart.

I originally thought that I had dug deep into the Sharingan, but now it seems that what I got from Orochimaru was only the outermost layer of fur.

But think about it, Orochimaru is just a foreigner no matter what. Even if he keeps studying the Sharingan, if he doesn't have the Mangekyo Sharingan as a reference, it will only be data on paper after all, and there is no way to intuitively quantify it.

As a result, there is a lack of effective persuasion.

"Currently, among the people in the Kingdom of Oni who have Sharingan, there are only three people who can touch Susanoo's third stage and above, including me."

'Only'... Sasuke didn't know what to say to such words.

Not to mention three ninjas with such power, even one can change the course of a war.

And among such existences, there are actually three people in the Kingdom of Ghosts...

In the Fourth Ninja World War, the Four Nations Alliance was defeated. The Demon Kingdom's final victory seemed not to be accidental or luck, but to their strength, which allowed them to have no fear of starting a war with the four major powers at the same time.

"Besides you and your daughter, who is the third person?"

Sasuke knew that Ruri's daughter, Kazuhime Chiba, had fought against Konoha ninjas on the battlefield of the Fourth Ninja War and used the power of Susanoo, causing heavy losses to Konoha ninjas.

But who is the third person?

In Sasuke's memory, there was no such person.

"Uchiha Obito... Like your teacher Kakashi, he was once a member of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato team. He is also the holder of the Mangekyou Sharingan, a powerful hand that the military rarely exposes. Card."

Liuli didn't hide it.

Although Obito's existence is top secret, Sasuke is already qualified to touch these things.

Sasuke nodded and did not ask to meet this person. As long as the other person is still in the Kingdom of Ghosts, sooner or later he will meet this tribesman called 'Uchiha Obito'.

"From now on, I will gradually guide the power of Susanoo in your body. However, since your Sharingan is only three magatama, even with the power of senjutsu, the theoretical limit of the Susanoo that can be guided is In the second phase.”

Liuli said this.

"Phase 2? That's enough."

Sasuke was not disappointed, but was eager to try the next training.

Seeing Sasuke's fighting spirit boiling in his eyes, Liuli nodded slightly, took out a palm-sized iron box from his ninja bag, and threw it towards Sasuke.

Sasuke caught the iron box and felt that it was heavy.

When I opened it, I saw six red capsules of medicine inside.

"This is……"

"As for the auxiliary medicines, if you want to complete your cultivation in a short time, you need to take a shortcut. The six medicines will last for a total of eighteen days. During this period, you have to stay here and cannot leave. I will arrange three meals a day. Someone will send it here. If you still can't succeed in eighteen days, it proves that your talent stops here. What do you think, do you have the guts to give it a try?"

The corners of Liuli's mouth raised, carefully observing Sasuke's reaction.

"Hmph, if this can be considered a provocation, then I'll take it."

Saying that, Sasuke took out a red capsule without hesitation and stuffed it into his mouth.

For a moment, Sasuke's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and the physical chakra spreading from his body was even more frightening.
