I established Kua Kua Cult in Naruto

"Soul escape? What do you mean?"

Even Tatsuma, who had worked with Orochimaru for many years, couldn't keep up with Orochimaru's thoughts. Orochimaru turned around, looked at Tatsuma, and asked: "The body of Lord Shodaime is very strange, isn't it?"

"Well, he has been dead for many years, but when we obtained his cells, his cells were not inactive."

Tatsuma nodded. This question had been raised for some years. He had raised it with Orochimaru as early as during the wood escape experiment.

Seeing that Tatsuma had not forgotten, Orochimaru, who did not need his previous summary, nodded and said: "This problem has troubled us throughout the experiment. At that time, we all felt that the Shodaime-sama, whose body was not inactivated, should not die.

You even once suspected that the Shodaime-sama had become a vegetative state. You even teased him at the time, saying that if he could escape, wouldn't he be a vegetative state? "

Hearing Orochimaru retell his hell joke in a serious manner, Tatsuma was a little embarrassed, but he did not defend himself. After all, it was more important to listen to Orochimaru's story now.

But Orochimaru changed the topic and said: "There is also the original intention of developing the soul confinement technique. At first we guessed that it was for the Sharingan. In fact, it also has this effect, but this is just our guess.

In fact, we have no concrete evidence for why the Nidaime-sama developed this technique. The conjecture is actually a bit reluctant and has no examples to support it. The "motivation" is only because of the Nidaime-sama's prejudice against Uchiha. "

Tatsuma continued to nod, these are "preliminaries", Orochimaru did not slow down his pace, and said: "But what if these two things are connected?

The reason why the Nidaime-sama developed the Soul Confinement Technique was actually because of the abnormal death of the First-Daime-sama. "

Hearing this, Tatsuma frowned deeply, trying to connect the two things and add the words Orochimaru wrote on the whiteboard.

"The Shodaime-sama did not die, at least not in the conventional sense. He experienced separation of spirit and body. Rather than dying, is it more like using a spiritual transformation technique and not returning to his physical body?"

Tatsuma tried to keep up with Orochimaru's rhythm. Orochimaru nodded and said, "That's what I think, because it's so easy to teach them these days, so I have a lot of time to look through past experiment logs. .

I found that a large number of mice that participated in the wood escape experiment lost their active responses first, but their cell activity remained and some neural pathways were still available, and they died after a period of time.

Do you still remember our original speculation? "

"The activity of Hashirama cells and Divine Tree cells is different from that of normal biological cells. The cell lysis period is longer than that of normal biological cells."

"Yeah, but I want to overturn this speculation now, because... I thought of another possibility. Hashirama cells and sacred tree cells are repelling souls. In the process of swallowing and growing, Hashirama cells and sacred tree cells are in Change life itself.

For example, transforming a white mouse into a creature with an activated body but no soul, or active consciousness, is a more primitive life. "

Orochimaru's face became solemn and he said: "Only in this way can we explain why the first generation, whose body has been fully transformed into "Hashirama Cells", died so early.

He did not die, but the soul was expelled by the body, and there was no way back. Therefore, the soul could only go to the place where the soul should go - the Pure Land. "

"So...this is the escape of the soul."

Tatsuma rubbed his chin, Orochimaru looked at Tatsuma and said, "Have there been any abnormal phenomena in your soul? If my conjecture is true, then your soul will also escape.

The greater the number, proportion, and maturity of the cells in the divine tree, the greater the strength of the soul's escape. Perhaps at a certain node, your soul will be completely excluded.

This is the true rejection reaction of the sacred tree cells. "

"No."

Hearing Tatsuma's answer, Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was a little disappointed, because this explained his guess.

"But that doesn't overturn your suspicion."

Tatsuma's words made Orochimaru confused again, and he stared at Tatsuma, waiting for his next words.

Tatsuma pursed his lips tightly, frowned deeply, tapped his temple with his right hand, and said, "It's a coincidence that I used the soul confinement technique on myself long before the sacred tree cells fully spread and grew explosively."

"How could you?"

Orochimaru's eyes were full of doubts. He knew the direction of Tatsuma's use of the Soul Confinement Technique. Because he was not sure of the development purpose of this technique, he did not know how Senju Tobirama originally planned to use it.

But Tatsuma uses this technique to extend the rescue time, and to use it on people who are dying, so that the soul cannot leave the body. In this way, after the body recovers, no major changes will occur due to the loss of the soul.

Tatsuma himself should not use this technique, because before today, he did not need to wait for others to treat him. As long as he was alive, no matter "dead", with his vitality, he could heal himself in a short time.

In the battle against the Sandaime Raikage, Tatsuma also proved that his self-healing ability is powerful. Even if his heart stops beating due to the thunderbolt electric shock and is seriously damaged, it will repair itself in a very short time and start pacing again.

Tatsuma pursed his lips again, showing a trace of embarrassment and shame, and said: "To tell you the truth, this was an experiment I conducted after I was disappointed with my illusion. I tried to use the Soul Confinement Technique to fight the illusion."

"is that useful?"

Orochimaru suddenly remembered Tatsuma's suddenly stronger illusion resistance, and his eyes showed curiosity, but Tatsuma shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, not really.

Although the brain and the soul influence each other, imprisoning the soul does not mean that the brain can be protected, and the illusion chakra attacks the brain, not the soul itself, so..."

Tatsuma shrugged and Orochimaru nodded. This is normal. It would be incredible if the soul confinement technique was really that powerful.

But Orochimaru asked curiously: "Have you never lifted the soul confinement technique? After all, it will continue to consume chakra."

"I don't lack this chakra." Chenma said: "At first, I was too lazy to remove it. Later, I also discovered some effects of the soul confinement technique. It can indeed defend against some attacks against the soul."

For example, Scorpion's method, which Tatsuma had never seen before, directly attacked the soul. If it weren't for the soul confinement technique, Tatsuma at that time might have had to expend a lot of effort to deal with Scorpion's attack.

After this topic was brought up, Orochimaru said with a tone of enthusiastic joy: "In this case, then you don't need to lift your soul imprisonment. Even if it is just a guess, there is no need to take risks."

"I thought you would let me go so I could test my suspicion."

Tatsuma said with a smile, but Orochimaru became quite serious and said: "About the experiments related to Wood Release, at first it was to reproduce Wood Release, but now it has another purpose, which is to ensure that you will not be harmed by Wood Release.

If it is conditional on you being injured by Wood Release, then I don't want to do such an experiment, and I won't do it. "

If Tatsuma had not used the soul confinement technique on himself in advance and his soul had escaped, Orochimaru would have Tatsuma use the soul confinement technique to verify his conjecture.

But... no need now. No matter whether the guess is correct or not, as long as Chenma maintains his soul confinement technique, he can avoid risks. Whether this experiment is correct or not is no longer important.

"Thank you, Orochimaru-sama, for caring about me more than myself."

Tatsuma put away his smile and said sincerely. Orochimaru waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone is like this."

The teasing tone let Tatsuma know that Orochimaru was making a pun. On the one hand, he said that other people also care about Tatsuma just like Orochimaru. On the other hand, it was a joke that people always care about an individual person more than themselves.

Tatsuma understood the pun and smiled knowingly.

However, the smiles between the two people did not last long, and they soon became involved in a real problem. Orochimaru turned around, looked at the whiteboard, and said, "Do you have any clues?"

The soul confinement technique is always an indicator and cannot cure the root cause. Tatsuma does not lack the chakra to maintain the soul confinement technique, but as long as it is a technique, it may be cracked.

Although at present, only Orochimaru and Tatsuma are aware of this conjecture among the living people, but what if?

Only by finding a way to solve the problem of soul escape can Tatsuma be truly safe. If other wood escape ninjas appear in the village in the future, this hidden danger can be solved in advance.

If it were seven years ago, Orochimaru would have advised Tatsuma to give up Wood Release. If it had been five years ago, Orochimaru would have advised Tatsuma to give up suppressing the sacred tree cells.

But now it’s no longer possible. Even if the growth of the sacred tree cells is restricted, more than half of the cells in the body have been replaced by the sacred tree cells. Even if there are no more new sacred tree cells, once the more than half of the sacred tree cells mature, their rejection reaction will not be possible. Inhibition.

Tatsuma also had a worried look on his face. He had no clue about solving the problem of soul escape. Instead, he thought of other things, such as the Ten-Tails and the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki.

Those are even more distant than the current problem of soul escape, but at the same time, they are related and more threatening.

Tatsuma actually knew the direction of his body's change. As Kyuubi said, he gradually turned into a body that carried the power of the tailed beast. Perhaps Senju Hashirama's body was also a humanoid heretic demon.

Unlike Senju Hashirama, Tatsuma has the chakra of the tailed beasts in his body. Maybe one day, he will really turn into the human form of the Ten-Tails, and what does the Ten-Tails look like?

It is a more primitive life form with "no subjective consciousness". In addition to absorbing the energy of the entire planet, its destination is to become a dry battery for the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki?

Why can the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki control the Ten-Tails? Maybe this is the solution to the soul's escape?

As his thoughts jumped, Tatsuma seemed to vaguely grasp something. When Orochimaru turned around in confusion because of Tatsuma's silence, Tatsuma suddenly said: "Yin Yang Escape."
