Chapter 693 preparation

The end of June.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the main roads of the military area are also under the sun, covered with a dry and sultry atmosphere, and the roads become transparent and white.

Under the scorching sun, the women on the practice field seemed to ignore the troublesome hot air. Even in such a scorching oven, there was no sweat flowing on their skin, and they kept a silent posture, standing on the edge of the practice field.

The road surface of the practice field is uneven, and some places seem to have been attacked by heavy objects, and there are terrible cracks. It seems that some kind of large beast passed by and trampled the road surface.

But there is no doubt that there is only one black-haired boy in the middle of the practice fieldUchiha Sasuke.

Here he releases all his senses to sense the natural energy floating in nature, and begins to balance and fuse with the chakra in his body, until the energy of the two systems merges into one, generating a stronger energy in the body, Sasuke begins to stop asking for natural energy from the outside world.

Then he adjusted his breathing and opened his closed eyes. Because the direct sunlight was so strong that Sasuke, who had just opened his eyes, was directly under the light, and instinctively squinted his eyes to avoid excessive stimulation of the eyes.

It can be seen that in his opened eyes, a beautiful red has been rendered, and three pitch-black goblins are spinning in it, and then hearing Sasuke's will, stop spinning, fix in the eyes, and shine forward.

After the senjutsu chakra and the pupil power of Sharingan were all displayed, the purple tall phantom like a demon **** immediately opened a field behind Sasuke.

Although compared to Liuli's Susano, this level can be said to be insignificant, but even so, the height of that phantom exceeds the size of a normal house.

The purple bones and skulls are like a purple flame burning on it, fluctuating like life.

Even though the power was much lower, such a thick chakra seemed to increase the weight of Sasuke's body to the limit, crushing the hard floor of the practice field in an instant, and the dense cracks spread to the surroundings again.

Even at Liuli's feet, such fine and silky cracks appeared, and the stones jumped restlessly.

The diffuse chakra forms a field similar to 'gravity', making the surrounding air extremely heavy, giving the illusion of stagnant space.

If it were an ordinary person who couldn't use Chakra freely, even normal breathing might be a problem here.

This kind of heavy pressure did not burden Liuli, or rather, it was not enough to attract her attention.

In Liuli's eyes full of interest, Sasuke further released the sage chakra in his body, and the red light in the writing sharing eyes became brighter and brighter, turning as deep red as blood.

Flesh and flesh began to condense on the skeleton-like skeleton, endowing this illusory chakra creature with real flesh and blood, injecting more power.

However, the purple flesh and blood only covered the chest cavity of the skeleton frame from bottom to top. Sasuke suddenly felt his Sharingan, as if a silver needle had been inserted into it, and it became painful, and it was like being smoked and burned by hot smoke.

Boom!

The huge Chakra suddenly collapsed and lost control.

The explosive impact shattered the floor under Sasuke's feet.

The violent hurricane caused by the runaway celestial chakra also blew off the giant tree outside the practice field and fell down with a bang.

The only thing not affected was Liuli standing on the edge of the practice field.

Even if a sharp stone flew past her ear, it did not cause the slightest movement in her eyes. She was sure that the flying stone would not fall on her, so there was no need to dodge it.

"Ahem!"

As the party involved, Sasuke was much more miserable. The senjutsu chakra lost control, causing the chakra and natural energy in his body to start chaotically rushing through the body, losing balance.

The purple skull disappeared from his body, without a trace, as if it never existed.

Sasuke adjusted the out-of-control chakra and natural energy in his body, and at the same time adjusted his breathing that was beginning to become unobstructed, so that his pale face gradually began to return to blood.

"It seems that the first stage of Susanoo is the limit of what you can achieve now, and rashly using the second stage of Susanoo will cause a huge load on your Sharingan."

Liuli stepped forward, walked over and said to Sasuke.

"Damn it!"

Although he is not happy with this fact, Sasuke is not a person who only accepts death, and he also knows that he can at most maintain Susanoo at the first stage.

However, Sasuke will not simply give up.

He felt that the reason why he couldn't activate the second stage of Susanoo was because he had only a short time to learn this move. If he was given enough time, it shouldn't be difficult to master the second stage of Susanoo.

"Don't be so impatient, it's quite remarkable to be able to master the first stage of Susanoo in such a short period of time with the three-pointed jade sharingan. Moreover, this is not a move prepared for sharingan below the kaleidoscope level."

Sasuke took a breath, calmed down, glanced at Liuli who spoke indifferently, thought about it, and asked, "Speaking of which, I always forgot to ask, which stage of Susano you could control with Sharingan?"

As far as Sasuke knows, Susano is almost the ultimate pupil technique that can only be used by Uchiha ninjas who have turned on the kaleidoscope.

Using Sharingan to perform Susano, it should be a move that the ninjas of the Uchiha clan in the kingdom of ghosts gradually explored and perfected.

This kind of trick is not pure pupil technique, it also involves the advanced application of fairy technique and chakra materialization.

"Me? At that time, I could barely use the Susanoo of the fourth stage."

Liuli answered Sasuke's question lightly without thinking.

Phase 4! Hearing this answer, Sasuke's pupils constricted suddenly, his expression shocked.

He is a little bit reluctant to even master the first stage of Susanoo, and he still has a half-knowledge of the second stage after that. As for the third and fourth stages of Susanoo, it is even far away.

"I remember you said that the Sharingan under the kaleidoscope can theoretically raise Susanoo to the second stage at most."

The shock on Sasuke's face slowly faded, revealing a look of confusion.

He didn't think that Liuli was deceiving him, that is to say, the other party was hiding something else.

"That's right, in theory, the Sharingan under the kaleidoscope can raise Susano to the second stage is already the limit. The reason why I was able to use the third-gauge Yu Sharingan to use the fourth stage of Susanoo is because I used a tricky method."

Liuli nodded, not hiding anything from Sasuke.

"Tricks?"

There was interest on Sasuke's face.

"That kind of Susanoo does not rely mainly on the pupil power of Sharingan, but materializes a large amount of Senju Chakra, and then uses extremely high Chakra control skills to forcibly create an existence similar to Susanoo. But in the end, it is only similar. The defense and destructive power are only between the normal second and third stages of Susanoo. Moreover, this move will consume a lot of Senju Chakra, and there is no way to maintain it for a long time."

After listening to Liuli's narration, Sasuke was thoughtful.

Seeing what Sasuke seemed to be thinking, Liuli guessed what he was thinking, and continued: "I don't recommend that you use that method to gain power. With your current body and chakra, using Susanoo in that tricky way will consume all your physical strength and sage chakra in a very short period of time, which is harmful to you."

The reason why she was able to use the fourth stage of Susano in a tricky way was because she was already in her twenties when she developed this move, and the amount of chakra she had naturally increased far exceeded that of Sasuke now, and she could persist for a period of time.

Not only that, but her various body functions are also at the peak of her life, and she can bear the risks brought about by the surgery.

But Sasuke has not reached the state she was in at that time. Chakra and human body functions are still in a critical growth stage, far from reaching the critical point of his ninja career.

Of course, there are ways. That is to have a chakra and body close to or comparable to the level of a tailed beast, and can completely ignore this risk. However, among all the Sharingan holders in Oni Land, only Kazuhime has reached this standard.

And hearing Liuli say that about Sasuke, he also understood the difference between these two types of Susano.

Initially guided by Sharingan, Susano is mainly based on fairy art, and its essence is an empty chakra shell similar to Susano. And because this move is too risky for ordinary Uchiha ninjas, it was later improved, which is to form the improved Susano.

This kind of Susanohu is based on the pupil power of Sharingan and supplemented by fairy art. In this way, it not only saves chakra, but also takes risks by using the pupil power of Sharingan, lowering the threshold of use, making it safer and more stable. It's just that this also limits the upper limit of Susanoo, and can only reach the second stage.

Sasuke stood up straight at this moment, glanced at the clothes on his body, and stretched out his hand to blow the dust off.

Then, he looked at Liuli, and stopped talking about Susano, but said:

"If I remember correctly, today should be the last day of training."

The six pills to assist cultivation have been taken, and each pill can exert its effect for three days. Now eighteen days have passed, and it will be almost July. Susanohu's first stage of cultivation has been perfectly completed.

This growth rate basically met Sasuke's psychological expectations.

"Yes, from your tone, you should be ready to leave."

Liuli saw Sasuke's inner thoughts.

"Well, I've been here too long."

Sasuke has a divorce.

If it wasn't for studying Susano, he might have left the kingdom of ghosts to go about his own business.

Since Orochimaru left, his mood has been unable to calm down.

Now, it's time for him to leave.

Having mastered the first stage of Susano, he is fully sure of the next action.

Sasuke feels the changes in himself, which is full of power.

Liu Li didn't stop her, and said, "Since you've already made the arrangements, I won't say anything more. You can mobilize the wandering witches who have traveled around the world and make them your eyes."

"I see. Then, I'll go back and prepare."

Sasuke nodded, and was about to turn around and leave when Liuli's voice sounded from behind again:

"By the way, even if you have learned the Susanoo, it is best to use it at critical moments. Even the first stage Susanoo, if you use it for too long, it will cause a huge burden on your body. In addition, no matter how powerful the Sharingan is, it is difficult to compete with the kaleidoscope in terms of pupil power and pupil technique. It is best to remember this."

Sasuke paused, not knowing if he had listened, and left without a word.

Backing to his temporary dormitory, Sasuke took a hot shower for himself, then changed into a set of clean clothes of the same standard, and he looked refreshed.

Even the fatigue during this period of time has dissipated a lot under this refreshing.

Today is June 28th. Itachi's organization activity area will not appear in the ghost country and the dependent country, and it will take almost two days to leave the ghost country. If we set off tomorrow morning, the search and arrest operation will not start until early July.

However, with the assistance of the Wandering Witch Maiden in the Kingdom of Ghosts, the scope and channels for him to obtain information will become much wider, and he will not be running around like a headless chicken.

"However, wherever that guy Itachi can go..."

Sasuke stood in front of the mirror, closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment. When he opened them again, the expression in his eyes had turned into a calm one, and his mood gradually calmed down. There was no wave in Gujing.

He picked up the Kusanagi sword next to him, sandwiched it between the ropes, and then left the dormitory area, walking all the way towards the research area.

Before entering one of the buildings, I saw a familiar figure on the lawn beside the road.

The other party is squatting on the lawn, teasing a white-haired puppy, and rewarding the other party with sensuality.

"Sasuke."

Seemingly aware of Sasuke's gaze, Chonggo, who was squatting on the ground, hugged the white puppy, stood up, and walked towards Sasuke.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. Obviously, he had a good time here these days.

Except for the necessary physical examination, he spends most of his time on this lawn, teasing the pet puppies here.

Maybe it was brought here by the staff here. In short, this pet dog is very obedient. In just over half a month, Zhongwu has formed a deep friendship with it.

Sasuke glanced at the puppy in Shigego's arms who was panting and sticking out his tongue, but didn't say anything.

After all, he has already seen all kinds of magical things about Zhongwu. When the other party goes berserk, he will suddenly become a bloodthirsty monster, but once he calms down, he will become very pleasing to small animals. In the past, I could often see the other party talking to the birds in the quiet forest, talking to themselves.

"It seems that you are doing well here."

Sasuke nodded lightly.

"Well, the environment here is very quiet, and no one bothers me."

Chonggo smiled contentedly, this is a sincere smile that is rarely shown at Orochimaru.

"As long as you like it here."

For Sasuke, although he didn't admit it, he already regarded Shigego, a follower, as his friend.

He knew very well what kind of life Chonggo had spent in Orochimaru in the past, and he also knew that the other party had been troubled by his other bloodthirsty and cold personality for a long time.

"Sasuke, have you considered settling here? If so, I plan to open a pet shop here."

Chongwu stroked the white hair of the puppy in his arms, which was soft and warm, and Chongwu's eyes were full of tenderness and kindness.

Under the caress of the other party, the puppy poked its head comfortably, and squeezed hard into the depths of Chongwu's embrace.

"It is good to have your own career and hobbies. You can tell me how much money you need at that time."

The legacy of the Konoha Uchiha clan has already passed through the kingdom of ghosts and settled on his own head.

Although Sasuke hasn't checked the amount in his account in the past few years, he thinks that he has saved a lot of money in it, which will make him have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

"Speaking of which, how are Kidomaru and Tayuya doing?"

Sasuke changed the subject and walked towards the inside of the building.

Jugo put down the white puppy in his arms and let it play on the lawn, while he followed Sasuke and walked towards the depths of the research building.

"I didn't see them wake up yesterday, but according to Ms. Lin, their bodies have basically been remodeled. If they are faster, they might have woken up now."

Chonggo followed up to answer.

As he spoke, he walked quickly to the front of Sasuke and led him the way.

Come to an entrance of the building, which is blocked by a thick and huge white iron gate. On both sides of the gate, stand two dark-body ninjas wearing Chakra armor with only their eyes exposed.

Judging from their figures, they are a man and a woman, the light in their eyes is very cold, and they hold a heavy firearm that can spray fire.

These two are like two door gods, firmly guarding the huge iron gate leading to the other space.

Even those who come here for the first time know what great secrets are hidden behind the iron gate, which is fully armed and protected by two Jonin from the Oni Nation.

Although only two guards were seen in this corridor, in the dark, Sasuke received no less than ten lines of sight, locking on him and Shigego.

The electric touch swept over him and Chonggo. With this feeling of being seen through, there is no doubt that someone is using sensory ninjutsu to confirm their identities.

After confirming that there is no problem with the identities of Sasuke and Shigego, one of the Oni Ninja ninjas guarding in front of the white iron gate actively opened the iron gate, revealing the passage inside.

Shigego and Sasuke stepped into this iron door passage that can accommodate ten people walking side by side. The passage on this side is still bright and white, and the lights are shining quietly.

As the iron door closed, the space here became even quieter.

The width of the corridor is also wider, about seven or eight meters wide. Every few meters, or ten meters, a door will appear on the walls on both sides.

Some open, some close.

In the opened room, there are a lot of equipment and cardboard boxes of unknown purpose piled up. Not surprisingly, this should be a warehouse for storing items.

And on the top of each door leaf, a red code is marked for identification.

Sasuke found that apart from him and Chonggo, there was no third person in the corridor.

"Here, Sasuke."

Chongwu turned a few corners and stopped in front of an open door.

Compared to those warehouses, the room in front of him is larger. Here, Sasuke saw many experimental equipment that looked more advanced than those in Orochimaru's laboratory, and it was not filled with all kinds of weird creatures like Oroshemaru's laboratory.

"Sasuke-sama."

Entering this laboratory, I was greeted respectfully by Kidomaru, Tayuya, Jirobo, and Sakin.

It's been a while since I saw them. Their bodies and appearances haven't changed from the past, but their expressions and eyes seem to be more energetic.

Not surprisingly, they got a lot of benefits here.

"I'm relieved to see that you're all right. How does it feel compared to the past?"

Sasuke asked them how they felt about their bodies at this time.

Kidoumaru pressed his neck, made a crisp sound, and said: "Although I am not used to losing the curse mark, my ability does not seem to have declined. It is more like transferring the power of the curse seal to the normal body. It can be used anytime and anywhere without the curse seal."

"Me too, Sasuke-sama."

Tayuya glared at Kidomaru, as if blaming him for speaking first and letting himself fall behind, and then quickly spoke second, as if asking for credit.

However, Sasuke didn't stay on her for too long, his eyes fell on Jirobo.

Jirobo scratched his head, embarrassed and said:

"Sorry, Sasuke-sama, I don't feel anything, I just feel hungrier."

It was Zuo Jin's turn, and he replied with a snort: "It doesn't feel any different, but I think it looks more handsome to fight in the state after the curse mark."

As a result, Sasuke didn't pay attention to these remarks. He only needed to know whether the strength of the four had declined.

Now it seems that while getting rid of the curse seal, they should also preserve their secret techniques and power, so that they can exert the power of the past state two even if they are normal.

As long as this is confirmed, Sasuke doesn't want to find out what method Shiraishi used to achieve this miraculous effect.

Just then, a crisp voice sounded:

"Are you Uchiha Sasuke?"

Sasuke turned his head to look, and a young woman in a white coat came over. She had beautiful brown hair and a ninja forehead guard on her forehead, which blocked her bangs, making her look extremely gentle.

However, Sasuke felt a little danger from this harmless woman.

"Sasuke, this is Miss Nohara Rin, a disciple and assistant of Mr. Shiraishi."

Chongwu introduced.

Sasuke nodded slightly at Lin.

Lin looked at Sasuke from head to toe, showing an appreciative smile.

"As expected of Kakashi's student, he is as good as him. The one in my family doesn't seem to be good enough."

Although he didn't quite understand what the other party was referring to, Sasuke continued to ask along the topic:

"Kakashi?"

"Why, didn't he tell you? I used to be Konoha's ninja, but I came to the ghost country because of some things. If it matters, Kakashi and I used to be in Konoha Fourth Hokage's group."

"It seems that you are not a simple person."

Sasuke's expression became more serious.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm just an ordinary medical ninja, and I'm not very good at combat." Lin shook her head, and then said: "Next, I still have work to do here. If you want to visit here, please feel free, but don't disturb me, and don't touch things here. If something is broken, Teacher Shiraishi might get angry with me."

She said so, but Lin's tone showed no fear of Shiraishi.

Sasuke is not surprised by this point. In such an important experimental base, there is only one other guard besides Shiraishi, which proves that the other party not only has Shiraishi's trust, but also has extraordinary abilities. Only by having both of these possibilities can one become the No. 2 person here.

"No, we'll just leave here."

The matter of the four people was resolved, Sasuke had no interest in visiting this kind of place, and he had no time to waste here.

So, after saying goodbye to Lin, he led Chongwu and the four of them to leave this area directly and leave along the way they came.

"Sasuke, when shall we leave next?"

Knowing that Sasuke is burdened with an unimaginable blood feud, both Shigego and the four of them have guessed about Sasuke's next actions.

When he came outside the building, Shigego asked.

"If there is no problem, I plan to leave early tomorrow morning."

Sasuke turned around and glanced at the five people in front of him.

"I'm OK."

Chongwu answered first.

"We're fine."

Kidoumaru, Tayuya and the other four also answered, saying that there is no problem.

Although the loss of the curse mark made them suddenly uncomfortable, with their abilities, it only takes a day or two to fully grasp their brand new body. It is completely possible to adapt while hurrying.

"Since that's the case, the rest of the time is up to you. Whether it's rest or purchasing equipment, you make up your own mind. Tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, we will meet at the Dongcheng platform of Ziyuan City. I have already booked six tickets to leave the kingdom of ghosts."

After finishing speaking, Sasuke disappeared from sight of the five people.

Parting from Shigego and the others, it was already dark when Sasuke arrived at Ziyuan City Commercial Street.

This city seems to be having festivals every day, especially at night. This kind of lively atmosphere makes a quiet person like Sasuke feel slightly uncomfortable.

During these years under Dashemaru, he has also been to many places and passed by the capitals of many countries, but none of the capitals of the country is so prosperous.

In this city, you can see big businessmen from various countries gathering here, and there is also an endless stream of travelers from outside.

Just a quick glance, you can see pedestrians on the street wearing several different customs of clothing.

Just when Sasuke was about to take a step and continue to walk forward, someone seemed to pull the hem of his trousers, which made him lower his head involuntarily to see who was pulling his trousers.

is a puppy with brown fur.

And the dog wears a ninja forehead on its head, which proves that it is a ninja dog with a ninja attribution, not an ordinary dog.

"Long time no see, Sasuke boy."

This dog knew Sasuke, stretched out a forelimb skillfully, and said hello to Sasuke.

"It's you, Parker. Since you're here, Kakashi must be nearby too."

Sasuke revealed the identity of the other party.

One of the eight great ninja dogs contracted by the opponent Kakashi, a middle-level ninja, good at intelligence collection, and relying on scent to track and find enemies, is one of Kakashi's beloved ninja dogs.

"Well, come with me, Kakashi is waiting for you at the barbecue shop opposite."

As he spoke, Parker trotted out, Sasuke followed him leisurely, and followed Parker into the barbecue restaurant.

Because it just entered the night, many seats were vacant, not many guests came, and the environment was much quieter than usual.

At an off-angle, Sasuke caught a glimpse of Kakashi who was sitting there, grilling a piece of meat with his chopsticks. The other party must have been here for a while, or in other words, he was here specially waiting for him.

Thinking of this, Sasuke walked straight over and sat down opposite Kakashi.

Parker jumped onto the dining table, drooling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes fixed on the piece of meat that Kakashi was grilling.

"It seems that you have been in the kingdom of ghosts for a while, Kakashi. Tell me, wait for me here, what is the matter?"

After Sasuke sat down, he went straight to the point without leaving any room.

"Don't be so impatient, I saw that you have been exercising very hard these days, so I am here to wash you off."

Kakashi put down his chopsticks, his eyes narrowed with a smile.

Sasuke snorted lightly, but didn't answer.

"Seeing how impatient you are about to leave tomorrow, you should have achieved significant results in your cultivation these days."

Kakashi is very aware of Sasuke's personality. He bought the train ticket for tomorrow morning through Sasuke, and he is about to leave the kingdom of ghosts. He knew that Sasuke's practice during these days must have achieved results, otherwise he would not have left with such confidence.

"Isn't this kind of thing obvious? If time doesn't allow it, I would really like to know who is stronger between you and me."

Sasuke said such words without shame, and looked at Kakashi with fighting intent.

"I knew you had such a plan, so I chose to see you off at this time."

Sighing, Kakashi took out a stack of talisman papers from his pocket. These talisman papers were centered on the word 'medical', surrounded by mysterious spells, which looked extraordinary at first glance.

Looking at the stack of talisman papers, Sasuke was surprised.

"This is"

"This is the medical charm that Sakura asked me to hand over to you. Although it has been initially completed, it has not yet appeared on the market. There are a total of 20 pieces. When using it, apply it to the wound and activate it with a little chakra."

Kakashi explained the usage of the medical symbol.

Sasuke's eyes flashed, he held the medical talisman in his hand, and watched carefully.

"With this thing, even if there are no medical ninjas in the team, it can still play a role in healing. However, the medical talisman can't solve the serious injury, at most it can only relieve it, so when fighting, don't be too reckless."

Kakashi warned.

"Of course I know about this. But didn't Sakura come over in person?"

Sasuke frowned and asked.

"Sakura went to another place for an internship a few days ago, and it may take a while to come back. Besides, she doesn't want to face you, and she doesn't want to see you and your former companions fighting each other."

Kakashi's words made Sasuke a little silent.

Kakashi did not speak again, using words to provoke Sasuke's heart.

Parker ignored the communication between the two, he was only interested in the barbecue on the table.

"Hey, Kakashi."

After a long time, Sasuke finally had a reaction on his face.

"What?"

"After the revenge is successful... what kind of feeling is it?"

Sasuke's eyes came straight, connecting with Kakashilo's lazy eyes.

"How does it feel?"

Touching his chin and thinking, Kakashi's tone of voice remained unchanged, without any ups and downs.

"First, there is a momentary satisfaction, and then there is a boundless emptiness, so something needs to fill this vacancy. Sasuke, have you found a way to fill this emptiness?"

"Empty..."

Chewing on the meaning of these two words, Sasuke lowered his gaze.

Kakashi still didn't give an accurate answer, or he didn't know what the answer to the answer sheet was, so he just said:

"That's right, people can't live in hatred for a lifetime. If you haven't made up your mind in this regard, then I advise you to think about it for a while before taking action. This is my advice!"
