Chapter 643 Immortal Art

The Fourth Ninja World War is over, but the Oni Land military forces that were originally stationed on the western border of the Land of Earth and now belong to the eastern border of the Oni Land have not shown any signs of withdrawal.

Rather, with the signing of the armistice agreement, the power of the ghost country stationed at the border has not decreased but increased.

This made the three generations of Tsuchikage Onogi, who had begun to relax his nerves, tense up again, worried that the Oni Kingdom would directly tear up the armistice agreement, plunder the entire western part of the Land of Earth, and even invade the rich central area of the Land of Earth, forcing the Daimyo of the Land of Earth to relocate the capital.

After all, it's okay for the Oni Land to have some small moves, but now there are no small moves. It just keeps sending more forces to the border, which makes Ohnoki feel uneasy.

Even if there is such a thing as an armistice agreement, it can't bring him any sense of security.

Don't look at Yanyin Village's clamor on the surface, wanting to die with the ghost country, but this is just a compromise that was forced to a desperate situation.

Because other than yelling, Yan Yin has no means to restrain the kingdom of ghosts.

For such things, no matter it is the country of ghosts or the country of earth, they are all well aware of it.

"It seems that I have been staying here. Onogi doesn't plan to go back to Yanyin Village. This old man really has no sense of humor at all, and he is too intimidating."

Standing on the cliff of a tall mountain rock, Ayane did not use her white eyes, but used a single-lens military telescope to watch the hidden rock position in the distance.

In the distant Yanyin camp, the atmosphere is dignified, full of a depressing sense of urgency. Every one of the Yanyin ninjas patrolling near the camp tensed their nerves and launched patrol missions nearby. It can be seen that the military mobilization of the border after the war in the kingdom of ghosts has made Yanyin still have trouble sleeping and eating.

No one wants to put it on a paper agreement, thinking that as long as that kind of agreement is signed, the two sides will really live in peace.

The neurotic behavior of Iwain is completely within the expectation of Ayane, the commander in chief of Iwain.

Unsurprisingly, the third-generation Tsuchikage Onogi, after participating in the armistice negotiations not long ago, himself continued to guard the front line, and did not return to Yanyin Village to preside over the overall situation.

The purpose is to beware of her sneak attack.

Among Hidden Rock Village, the only one who can threaten her actions is Tsuchikage himself.

Chen Dun is indeed a little tricky for her.

That is not a force that can be countered with flesh and blood.

"According to reliable sources, not long ago, Yanyin secretly sent reinforcements to the border with two thousand ninjas to prevent our side from taking the initiative to tear up the armistice agreement and continue to attack the Land of Earth."

Said a Jonin from the country of Oni who accompanied him.

"I hope to continue fighting. It is best to swallow up the rich west and the central region, which is the cultural and economic center."

Ayane slowly took down the binoculars, and said in a regretful tone.

Although the Kingdom of Ghosts has taken the initiative to open up the situation in the west of the Kingdom of Earth, if the mechanized troops move forward a little, the western part of the Kingdom of Earth can be engulfed. At that time, the entire central part of the Kingdom of Earth will be exposed to the soldiers of the Kingdom of Ghosts...Unfortunately, all parties in this war have already mediated, and there is no sign of another fire in a short time.

"Forget it, I won't scare the old man."

It has been more than two months since the Fourth Ninja World War began, and her mission at the border has almost been completed. Next, she does not need to sit here in person, and she can almost return to the kingdom of ghosts.

After continuing to patrol with the accompanying Jonin for a while, Ayane returned to the camp.

That night, a squadron of 100 people, led by Ayane, marched towards the kingdom of ghosts to the west.

"Hyuga Ayane left from the front line."

After hearing the news that Ayane had left the front line, not only Iwagakure, who was directly confronted with Oni no Kuni, breathed a sigh of relief, but Konoha, an ally, also breathed a sigh of relief for Iwagakure.

In Hokage's office, Tsunade looked at the information transmitted from the front, his tense expression slightly thawed.

The results of the truce negotiations have been settled, and all countries have prepared corresponding deployment actions. However, the subsequent frequent troop mobilization at the border of the Ghost Kingdom still attracts the hearts of the major powers and the senior officials of Ninja Village, making it difficult to divert their attention from this.

With the military power stationed at the border of the Kingdom of Ghosts, the Fifth Ninja World War can be launched at any time to ignite the flames of war again.

Until this information appeared, Konoha and other alliance parties believed that the kingdom of ghosts had no idea of restarting the war.

"Next to Yanyin, you should be able to take a few breaths."

Standing in front of the desk, Lu Jiu smiled for a long time.

As for laxity, it seems completely impossible to Lu Jiu.

Hyuga Ayane, a ninja with terrifying strength, has left, but the ninjas under his command, as well as the fierce mechanized troops, are still stationed at the front line. If the western border of the Land of Land is to be stable, Iwagakushi must also send a corresponding level of force to ensure nothing goes wrong.

However, in this war, Yan Yin lost nearly 7,000 ninjas and was short of manpower. Next, Yanyin will cycle through the mission system of the village, and at the same time dispatch a large number of ninjas to guard against the kingdom of ghosts. Even if it enters the confrontation period, the situation is still very unfavorable for Yanyin.

Shikahisa only hoped that sending the thousands of Konoha ninjas in the past could relieve Iwagakushi's urgent need at this time.

"I hope so. What I am more worried about now is the body of the two-day scale old man. Given his age, he may not be able to last for a few years."

Tsunade articulated a very realistic question.

Lu Jiu is silent, for this situation, he has no good solution.

The reason why the body of the third-generation Tukage is weak is not because of disease, but because of lifespan, which is a natural law and cannot be changed by manpower.

The peak energy of the human body is in the twenties, and through some medical methods, it can last until the thirties.

But after the age of forty, the energy of the body will decline rapidly, and various functions will decline rapidly.

Not to mention that it is not easy for an old man who is over 70 years old to persist in the front-line post for several months.

"Regarding this, all we can do is pray. Regarding my previous proposal, what do you think, Hokage-sama?"

After talking about Iwagakushi, Shikahisa asked about another topic.

"Are you referring to the 'existence' that you guessed is secretly holding back the kingdom of ghosts?"

Tsunade considered his choice of words, and glanced at Shikahisa.

Lu Jiu nodded.

"This kind of speculation is too unbelievable."

Tsunade expressed his opinion.

"However, I always feel that some of the actions of the Ghost Country in this war are very weird and strange. The Ghost Country can still mobilize forces to wipe out holy places like Miaomu Mountain while restraining the alliance army... To be honest, they are fully capable of taking advantage of their own powerful military power to go further in this war."

It is true that in the Fourth Ninja World War, the loss of the Alliance Army is far greater than that of the Kingdom of Demons.

But in Lu Jiu's view, this is far from enough. These victories are far from the limit that the Kingdom of Ghosts can achieve.

"It is true that their actions in this war are too strange, but it is still a bit unconstrained to draw this kind of speculation closer to the unknown existence. Maybe the kingdom of ghosts just wants to fight a little more steadily, and directly annex a big country. Whether it is a huge land or population, it is not a small hidden danger for the kingdom of ghosts."

Different from those small countries infiltrated by the ghost country, the daimyofu of the earth country still retains the supreme orthodox status to the people under its rule, and this is a custom formed for thousands of years. Unless the ghost country creates a large number of massacres and wipes out all those who voice resistance, it is impossible to stabilize the interior in the short term.

If at this time, other countries take advantage of the gap, the ghost country will definitely have even more headaches.

Compared to Shikahisa's guess, Tsunade is more inclined to this idea.

Regarding Tsunade's opinion, Shikahisa did not refute.

Tsunade's statement can be explained, and it is more convincing than his almost intuitive guess.

Wanting to rule a country is not just about encroaching on the other party's territory and gathering the population.

Especially the population of a big country is huge. As long as one out of ten people resist, it is enough to cause a terrible riot and cause great trouble to the management.

"Leaving aside this matter, we should pay more attention to the quality of the ninja itself. Not only the graduation exam of the ninja school, but also the passing line of the Chunin exam."

In this war, Tsunade saw the gap between Konoha ninjas and Oni Ninjas.

Those technical things made Tsunade temporarily unable to start, but the quality of the ninja itself must be paid attention to.

Ninja is synonymous with elites, not everyone is qualified to be a ninja.

If a village only pays attention to the number of ninjas, but starts to ignore the quality of ninjas themselves, it means the degeneration of the ninja village.

"Master Naruto, increasing the difficulty of the exam is not a problem. The problem is that most ninjas don't have time to practice. What's more, even if they have spare time, many ninjas will only use it to relax and wait for the next mission to come."

This is the normal state of Konoha Ninja.

After graduating and becoming a ninja, the time to practice is very scarce.

Most of the time, under the leadership of the captain, they have to go out to perform tasks and run around for a living.

Occasionally there is a vacation, and I will use it to rest, to dissipate the fatigue during the mission, and then accept the mission again, repeating these things over and over again.

In this way, the time left for ninjas to practice will undoubtedly be squeezed and shortened.

According to Lujiu's statistics, on average, each Konoha ninja spends no more than one hundred hours on cultivation each month.

Take an ordinary C-level protection task as an example. It takes two days to travel, and it may take a day or even several days to reach the destination.

Tasks, hustle and bustle, and the trivialities of life consume most of the ninja's time.

Ordinary ninjas are exhausted just to earn the money they need to live.

"In other words, it needs a lot of money, right?"

Tsunade returned the problem to its essence.

In the final analysis, most ninjas are not wealthy.

"More than that, this kind of atmosphere has been going on for a long time. If you want to change it all at once, maybe it will be counterproductive. If Master Hokage insists on this approach, I think the scope can be narrowed down and piloted in a specific area."

"You mean Anbe?"

Tsunade immediately understood what Shikajiu meant.

Because Anbu is a unit directly under Hokage, this unit has the highest loyalty to Hokage among Konoha, and will unswervingly implement Hokage's strategy.

This method made Tsunade quite moved.

But then he frowned again.

"If you do this, isn't the number too small? Besides, the Anbu people usually have important jobs."

Although due to the establishment of the security force, the Anbu will no longer take care of some trivial matters in the village, but the work of patrolling the village still requires the Anbu to conduct patrols.

In this way, the number of Anbu who can escape from heavy tasks will never be many.

Even now that the size of Anbu has expanded by two units, Tsunade still feels that there are not enough people.

"Then continue to increase the manpower of Anbu."

Lu Jiu thought for a while, and answered like this.

"Lu Jiu, do you want me to listen to those old things nagging in my ears?"

Tsunade smiled wryly.

This proposal really touched her heart.

However, when the two dark teams were expanded at that time, a considerable part of them had great dissent. If the dark parts continued to expand, she could foresee a terrifying scene where a group of old things would block her.

"Well... In fact, you can secretly call up personnel, and then insist to the outside world that there are only 104 main combat personnel in the current Anbu, and the rest are just miscellaneous logistics personnel."

Shikahisa's proposal made Tsunade ponder immediately.

As Hokage, it is legal to raise a little private soldiers.

Konoha, a training ground near the Death Forest.

At this time, Naruto was sitting cross-legged in the dense forest, with his hands clasped together, his eyes closed tightly, and his whole body was enveloped by an abnormal aura.

And this breath made Naruto more ethereal, as if it was integrated with the air here, regardless of each other.

Finally, a touch of orange-yellow eyeshadow emerged from Naruto's eyes, which surprised Fukasaku Senjin who had been observing Naruto's body changes.

After seeing him for a while, he found that Naruto seemed to have completely changed in the past few days, as if he had been completely reborn.

Whether it's the cultivation of natural energy or the advanced fairy art, the opponent is advancing at a very unimaginable speed.

The unique eye shadow is the precursor of human beings learning Miaomushan fairy art.

It can be said that as long as this kind of thing appears, mastering the fairy art of Mount Miaomu is a sure thing.

However, this eye shadow appears quickly and disappears quickly.

It only stayed in the position of Naruto's eyes for less than a few seconds, and quickly disappeared from Naruto's eyes.

Then, the chakra and natural energy in Naruto's body seemed to lose their balance, and a berserk breath burst out from Naruto's body, and his entire face began to swell, like a fat toad...

boom!

Senjin Fukasaku picked up the black stick in his hand without hesitation, and hit Naruto on the back.

"ah!"

Naruto uttered a shrill scream as he did when he was cultivating natural energy in the past, and woke up from the state of closing his eyes.

On the exposed back muscles, there was a deep and long red mark, which was the mark of being hit by the black stick.

In order to disperse all the out-of-control natural energy in Naruto's body, Fukasaku Sage hit it very hard, for fear that Naruto would be turned into a toad by the violent natural energy.

"It hurts so much, I said Grandpa Fukasaku, can you pat it lightly?"

Naruto put his **** back, put his limbs on the ground, knelt on the ground in an extremely indecent posture, and looked back at Fukasaku Sento resentfully.

Every time he hits so hard, sooner or later his spine will have problems.

"This is to disperse all the out-of-control natural energy in your body, Xiao Naruto. It is a last resort. Moreover, although you have entered the short-lived fairy mode just now, in my opinion, it is very dangerous to enter that state without mastering the proficiency. Your natural energy control is not good enough, so don't be so greedy next time. Even if you want to become stronger, you don't have to rush. .

Fukasaku Sage is a meaningful vigilant Naruto.

"I see. I have found that trick, and I won't disappoint you, Grandpa Fukasaku. Just wait and see."

As he spoke, Naruto continued to sit cross-legged, closed his eyes, kept his palms together, and began to refine the natural energy around him.

Seeing Naruto quickly enter the state again, Fukasaku Sento couldn't help but sigh, Naruto and Jiraiya are also completely different in their attitudes towards cultivation. This level of concentration and seriousness, Fukasaku Sage has only seen in very few ninjas.

The sharp birdsong resounded in the deserted wild.

At any moment, there was a loud bang. Under the roar of thunder, a huge rock with a height of more than ten meters exploded from the bottom.

Looking at the huge rock that was smashed into pieces by his thunder ninjutsu, Sasuke still held the thunder light in his hand at this time, but the bird song became much weaker, not as loud as before, which made Sasuke frown.

"Is the integration not thorough enough?"

Just now, he has made new progress in the cultivation of immortal arts.

The originally motionless natural energy and chakra, with the assistance of Shigego, showed signs of fusion.

The fusion of natural energy and chakra is eligible to form fairy chakra.

Only by learning how to use the power of sage chakra, the ninja, can it be called sage and enter the so-called sage mode.

In the fairy mode, the ninja's speed, strength, nerve response, ninjutsu, and illusion will all bring about an all-round improvement.

And this kind of improvement is also the most critical factor for Xianshu ninjas to widen the gap with ordinary ninjas.

If Sasuke wants to obtain such power, he cannot bypass the fusion of sage chakra and enter the sage mode.

Otherwise, no matter how much natural energy is absorbed and how much natural energy is skillfully used, it doesn't make much sense to Sasuke now.

Sasuke dispersed the Chidori from his hand, the Chidori's power has indeed been improved, but the extent of the increase is not as ideal as imagined.

Sure enough, Immortal Art is not such an easy power to master.

Even if one can use natural energy proficiently, there is still a long way to go before immortal art.

"Am I still too impatient mentally?"

Sasuke closed his eyes, suppressing the restlessness in his heart caused by the magic.

Too much power will make the ninja lose himself.

It seems that in the past few days, we should not be too eager to perfect the fusion of natural energy and chakra. Before the mood calms down, there may be some unpredictable accidents at the final level.

Seeing Chongwu's crazy and bloodthirsty appearance, Sasuke became more vigilant about natural energy and fairy art in his heart.

At this critical juncture, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.

Papa.

The sound of applause came from behind.

Followed by footsteps.

Different from Dou's footsteps, this kind of footsteps sounded like a snake crawling, accompanied by a hissing sound, ringing in my ears.

No need to guess too much, Sasuke also knows who is coming.

Before, there was always a vague sense of peeping, which was also brought by this person.

"Is there anything you can do with me, Orochimaru?"

If it was said that arrogance was needed in the past to gain the appreciation of Orochimaru, then Sasuke's attitude towards Orochimaru at this time is the arrogance from the heart.

A dirty maggot that misses Uchiha's bloodline.

A shadow snake that lives in darkness.

This is Sasuke's full interpretation of Orochimaru.

Moreover, even if he confronts Orochimaru by force, Sasuke feels that even if he loses, it is not a problem to escape easily.

He is no longer the fledgling Konoha Shinobi two years ago.

This is the confidence that Sasuke can communicate directly with Dashemaru in a cold and hard tone.

"Hehe, I just want to congratulate Sasuke-kun, you are one step closer to the realm of immortals. Sure enough, my guess is right, Chongwu is very important for you to learn immortal arts."

Orochimaru's hoarse voice sounded in the air and came out.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm feeling a little upset right now, you'd better not come here and mess with me."

It is not a discussion, but an order given in the tone of an order.

For Sasuke's rude attitude, Orochimaru was not angry, but opened his mouth, a long blue snake came out of Orochimaru's mouth, followed by a half-length blue snake, opened his own snake mouth, and spit out a scroll stained with transparent slimy liquid from the mouth of the long snake.

Oshemaru picked up the scroll stained with slimy liquid, walked up to Sasuke, and handed out the scroll.

"What's this?"

"Itachi, and Konoha's high-level information related to the Uchiha genocide. Although you can't avenge them now, it won't hurt to follow up in real time."

Orochimaru said so.

Sasuke endured his nausea, and took the scroll covered with slimy liquid from Orochimaru's hand.
