Chapter 292 You don’t want to either...

The night is deeper.

The sky became darker and darker, and among the gray clouds, only a waning moon and a few cold stars could be seen.

In the desert, giant beasts lie on the yellow sand, like a hill.

At the foot of the mountain, Konoha and Iwagakure, the two ninjas said nothing, and all stared at the two figures, one large and one small.

The separation of jinchūriki and tailed beasts is something that has never happened before in the ninja world. No matter what your thoughts are, as a witness, you are very much looking forward to the outcome of the incident.

Shisui also kept paying attention to Gaara and Orochimaru. At a certain moment, his brows suddenly frowned.

In his perception, the genjutsu left on Gaara was actually released.

The strange red light in his eyes surged, Shisui was ready to activate the Susanoo at any time, and quickly reached out to Gaara with one hand.

At this time, his wrist was grabbed.

"Lord Orochimaru?" Shisui asked doubtfully.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I solved it."

Orochimaru opened his eyes and looked at Gaara who was still squatting on the ground, holding his calf and not moving, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised,

"This child is indeed like that."

Unlocking the genjutsu seems to take a lot of risks, and there is a high probability that Shukaku will also be able to unblock it, but when it comes to Gaara, this possibility is slim.

After all, it is the nature of a child. He has made troubles before, and now he is autistic.

Logically speaking, the child should have heard the conversation he had with Shukaku just now, but he has not reacted until now, which shows that he has closed himself in the spiritual world.

Just unraveling the illusion is not enough, more stimulation is needed.

Orochimaru reached out and grabbed Gaara's cheek, pinching it hard.

Knock, click, click... The layer of sand armor covering his body appeared cracks, and fine sand fell from it like flowing water.

"Tsk, it turns out that spirit body is not inhabiting Gaara's body."

Orochimaru smiled and dived into Gaara's spiritual world again.

In another piece of yellow sand, Orochimaru leaned down, stretched out his hand, and knocked on his forehead three times.

Gaara moved, opened his tired and dull eyes, glanced at Orochimaru, and closed them again.

Orochimaru twitched the corner of his mouth, tapped three more times, and said with a smile, "Why, do you still want to escape?"

"What do you want to do? If you want to take away one tail, you can take my life too. Why do you still need to save me?"

Gaara stood up and asked.

He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is a smart child. Although he doesn't know what Orochimaru can do to separate the tailed beasts without injury, he is very sure that it cannot be done without his cooperation, otherwise this man would not bother to say so much.

nonsense.

Orochimaru asked, "Why did I save you? Then why don't you want to live?"

"My father resented me for taking my mother's life. Only my uncle was kind to me, but he also had ulterior motives. Everyone in the village regarded me as a monster, but they wanted to protect me as a monster."

Gaara roared angrily, "What kind of meaning does such a life have?"

As he spoke, he shrank back, as if hiding in Garura's arms,

"My mother has worked very hard to protect me. It's time for her to go to the Pure Land to rest."

This performance was completely beyond Orochimaru's expectations. Garura's appearance, instead of finding a new meaning for Gaara's survival, made him determined to die.

This is a bit troublesome.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment and then said with a smile, "If you want to die, you have to wait until you are separated from Shukaku. If you stay in this state, your own health will be secondary, but your mother will be affected."

Having been manipulated to the point where the only thing he cared about now, Gaara reacted violently and asked loudly, "What do you mean?"

"As a Jinchuuriki, I thought you knew better."

Orochimaru pointed at the noisy Shukaku beside him and said with a smile,

"Aren't the jinchūriki and the tailed beasts constantly competing for chakra? If you give up resistance, you will easily throw away the life you rely on most. Not only will your own chakra be swallowed up, your mother's chakra spirit body will also be swallowed up by the tail beast.

The beast devours.”

Gaara's little face wrinkled, and he wanted to refute what Orochimaru said, but he couldn't find any reason.

Because during the period of symbiosis with Ichibi Shukaku, the other party went berserk many times, and the situation was indeed consistent with what Orochimaru said. Shukaku tried to devour him more than once, but was blocked by the sealing technique.

If at the moment of death, without the help of the sealing technique in his body, Shukaku might be able to do all this.

Seeing Gaara's confused look, Orochimaru chuckled in his heart.

What he just said was half true and half false, and even he himself couldn't be sure.

According to common sense, even if the strong chakra in the body will be dissipated due to the physical death of the jinchuriki, the tailed beast's soul and consciousness will not die, so it has time and opportunity to do such things in revenge.

But the strange thing is that from what he saw in the Pure Land, the jinchuriki of the past actually retained their chakra soul bodies.

Is it because the tailed beasts are magnanimous? Is it because they have no chance to do this?

Orochimaru felt something was wrong, but he couldn't know the answer to this question until he figured out how the tailed beast was resurrected.

Above the yellow sand, the air fell into silence...well, actually that's not the right thing to say, there was also a civet cat making crazy noises.

But Orochimaru and Gaara obviously didn't take it seriously. Needless to say, the former was used to it, and the latter was used to it.

'Insomnia' does not mean that he does not need rest. If he could not learn to selectively ignore it, he would have gone crazy over the years.

After a moment of silence, Gaara finally spoke, "I will listen to you and separate from Shukaku."

In fact, he just didn't want his mother to take any risks.

"So, what should we do?"

A smile appeared on Orochimaru's lips, "As long as you cooperate and don't cause trouble."

As he spoke, he raised his palm and thrust Gaara directly through his chest.

"You?" Gaara was stunned and speechless.

"Relax." Orochimaru took out his palm, pointed at Gaara's slowly healing chest, and said with a smile, "The human spirit body is made up of chakra. Whatever chakra can become, your spirit body will do, and

Amorphous.”

"As long as you want, your neck can be stretched to infinite length, and your belly can stretch out a third hand..."

Gaara tried it enthusiastically and found that it was just as Orochimaru said, but he quickly put away his childish attitude and asked,

"What's the use of telling me this?"

"It's very useful." Orochimaru smiled, "Don't you think that separating the tailed beast is a simple matter?"

"Since Ichibi was placed in your body, the chakras of both sides have been completely integrated into one. Just like you standing here, is it really just your own chakra?"

Looking at the confused Gaara, Orochimaru raised his palms and said slowly,

"At best, I can only help you cut off the connection. If you want to complete this separation, you have to rely on yourself."

According to Orochimaru's estimation, the so-called separation is an abstract process. In fact, excluding the eight-tailed Gyuuki who are gifted enough to be able to cut off their tails and separate them, other tailed beasts may not be able to do it even if they want to.

Gaara was stunned for a while, closed his eyes and started trying. After a long time, he said in frustration, "I don't understand."

"Well...let's put it this way, you should be able to feel the Ichibi Shukaku and imagine that you two are connected together by a thread."

Orochimaru followed suit and said, "Recall what I just taught you, the soul has no fixed shape."

This description is a bit abstract, but Orochimaru is not worried. The most important thing for children is imagination.

Gaara pondered for a moment, squatted on the ground and closed his eyes tightly. After about a quarter of an hour, obvious changes occurred in the yellow sand space.

Lines lit up in the space, and thousands of branches sprouted in the blink of an eye.

Orochimaru looked at the scene in front of him and licked his lips, "The number is really quite large. This is a big project."

"Hahaha, it's useless. This kid can never get rid of me."

Shukaku let out a high-pitched and arrogant laugh. As another person who watched all this, he knew very well that if he left Gaara, there would be no good fruits to be gained.

What awaits him is probably an even tighter prison that is difficult to escape from.

In comparison, Gaara can only be regarded as a small prison, and it can't even contain him.

Shukaku also knew his current situation. After all, he had lived for so many years and had a certain understanding of illusions.

With so many lines, as long as Orochimaru touches one, it will interfere with the genjutsu acting on it. After gaining freedom, many things can be competed.

Perhaps in the outside world, in terms of combat alone, it is not Orochimaru's opponent, but in the spiritual space, when competing for soul strength, what does the life and death of insects mean?

"Come on, unless you kill this kid, you can't leave me alone."

Faced with Shukaku's provocation, Orochimaru just chuckled and entered sage mode directly.

The yellow sand condensed into ropes, entangled around Shukaku's body one after another.

"That's about it for the advance preparation."

Orochimaru raised his palm, and a small white snake poked its head out and came out.

He had no intention of cutting off the connection between the two on his own. There was indeed a gap in the strength of the two spirits, but as his 'Zanpakutō', the Tail-Eater's status was slightly higher.

The little white snake looked up at the lines in the sky. A pair of snake eyes turned to Orochimaru. After getting a positive answer from him, his body turned into a stream of light and shot out. In the blink of an eye, dozens of lines were bitten and broken.

"Ah..." Gaara and Ichibi Shukaku screamed almost simultaneously.

The difference is that Gaara knew that this was Orochimaru starting to fulfill his promise, gritted his teeth and persisted, while Shukaku began to curse the riot.

Unable to break free from the rope, Shukaku opened his mouth wide and said, "Wind Escape: Practice Blank Bullets!"

It's so pitiful that as a tailed beast in charge of magnetic escape chakra, the first thing to do against the enemy now is to use wind escape.

The huge wind ball hit the earth wall, leaving a circular mark.

"Tsk...it's not bad." Orochimaru almost praised Shukaku with appreciative eyes, because as far as he knew, even the Nine-Tails, except for the tailed beast jade and that huge body, didn't know anything.

Ninjutsu.

Although the huge power of the Tailed Beast Jade alone is enough to cope with most scenarios, for thousands of years, it has turned a blind eye to its huge potential and has not concentrated on developing it, so it deserves to be controlled by others.

In comparison, Shukaku is still the more progressive among them. Of course, this is only based on the tailed beasts as a reference.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

While Shukaku was reluctantly using his ninjutsu, the little white snake continued to bite the network of lines rapidly, directly causing waves of pain to hit Shukaku.

After living for thousands of years, Shukaku has not been whipped by society, but the attack of the little white snake has a direct effect on the depths of his soul.

The tougher the soul, the more painful it will be when faced with an attack that can tear them apart.

In other words, these lines are the connection points between it and Gaara's chakra. The boundaries are blurred and fragile. If it acts on the main body, God knows how painful it will be.

The miserable howl resounded throughout the yellow sand space.

But even so, Shukaku never stopped attacking Orochimaru.

Let’s not say whether it will work or not. Whether we do it or not is a matter of dignity.

Time passed by in a blink of an eye, and before long, the little white snake bit off all the lines in the yellow sand space. Its mouth bulged high, apparently swallowing many fragments of the spirit body.

Gaara was severely injured and fell to the ground dying, but Shukaku didn't seem to be too hurt, and his screams were still full of energy.

But when the little white snake cast a pair of sharp snake eyes at it, the screams stopped for a moment.

It had a premonition that this thing could bite off the connection and chew on its body.

The tailed beast is an unnatural product and is born at the top of the biological chain. However, at this moment, it seems to have encountered a natural enemy.

A kind of horror of 'eating and being eaten' lingered in his heart, Shukaku didn't say a word and fled directly towards Gaara's body.

After confirming that the other party left, Little White Snake's face suddenly collapsed, "Puff, puff, puff..."

It's like regurgitating the cud, trying to spit out everything that has just been bitten into the mouth.

Orochimaru couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene. This little thing was fed by the pure soul energy in the pure land.

In comparison, the tailed beast's chakra seems too turbid, with an inexplicable violent will. Weaker creatures, such as the insects of the Aburame clan, will be very angry if they swallow this kind of chakra.

Die soon.

But these remnants were left to Gaara, which was pretty good.

He has lived with Shukaku since he was a child and has been able to adapt to his violent will. But now that he has suffered damage to his soul and body, he needs to make up for it.

After glancing at the unconscious Gaara, Orochimaru chuckled and exited the yellow sand space.

The cool moonlight hangs high in the night sky, with silvery glow falling and cold light condensing.

On the yellow sand, the giant beast that was lying quietly suddenly suddenly regained consciousness. It looked at the little people around it, and a trace of violence flashed in its eyes as small as pills.

He raised his giant palm like a cattail leaf fan and slapped it down hard.

boom!

In the smoke and dust, the dark green skeleton gradually rose higher and higher against the giant sandy claws.

The meridians float, flesh and blood are regenerated, and the whole body is covered in awe-inspiring armor.

Shisui controlled Susanoo and lifted him up suddenly. Shukaku was caught off guard and rolled several times on the yellow sand.

Before it could launch a counterattack, a familiar chuckle suddenly sounded,

"Tsk tsk... I thought you would run away immediately after you came out?"
