In an underground base with little light on the edge of Konoha Village, Shimura Danzo very inelegantly swept away the food on the table, burped, patted his bulging belly, and then contentedly asked his subordinates to The leftovers were withdrawn.
Although the minds of the brothers Wind God and Thunder God are not very good, their physical condition is indeed first-class. Their physical strength and chakra capacity far exceed that of ordinary ninjas. They have natural divine power, amazing recovery power, and excellent compatibility with alien powers.
In order to maintain this extraordinary and excellent physique, the brothers Wind God and Thunder God also eat an astonishing amount of food.
Strength does not appear for no reason. Adequate nutritional intake is essential to ensure good health.
Since taking the body of his brother Feng Shen as a "soul container", some characteristics that are not in line with the "Darkness of the Ninja World" have been inherited. Because he did not have the ability to condense his "obsession" into an alienated soul form, after Danzo Shimura performed the forbidden technique: Fuzo Reincarnation, he also realized how dangerous this forbidden technique, which seemed to provide immortality but actually had many side effects, was .
Even Orochimaru must try his best to fulfill the last wish of the "soul container", eliminate the resistance deep in his soul, and reduce the tear on the spiritual level. Shimura Danzo, who is not prepared, forcibly "annexes" the soul and takes over the body Action, "indigestion" is also a high probability event.
Fortunately, the target chosen for the first time to cast the forbidden technique was Fengshen, a guy with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. Apart from his strong appetite, he did not have many persistent thoughts. Even so, in order to suppress the instinct that was ready to move inside the body, Shimura Danzo also needed it from time to time. Eat a big meal when you're hungry.
At the same time, Shimura Danzo also realized that the "side effects" of this forbidden technique would most likely weaken the effect of the Mangekyō Sharingan Jutsu and Betsutenjin he had applied to Orochimaru, and eventually lose its effect completely.
If you rush to use the Forbidden Technique - Immortal Reincarnation without conducting experiments, it is foreseeable that there will be side effects. There is a reason why immature technical means need enough "guinea pigs" to test.
If he really couldn't wait and his physical condition did not allow him to wait any longer, Shimura Danzo would not have taken such a risk.
Although the current situation is not too good, it is not completely impossible.
To protect one's soul from being eroded by alien forces, it is not only the Hachijutsu mastered by Orochimaru. Konoha Village has accumulated a very deep foundation over the years, and there are many strange and weird secret techniques that can help. Shimura Danzo is not one or two.
However, in order to alleviate the side effects of the forbidden technique: Immortal Reincarnation, it is unwise to "contaminate" another secret technique with unknown taboos. While he could still hold on, Danzo Shimura did not want to act rashly.
Keeping it quiet doesn't mean that "The Darkness of the Shinobi World" has done nothing.
Although there are no magical curse seals of heaven and earth, there are still many curse seals mastered by the "root" organization. The tongue vortex root eradication seal and the self-karma curse seal are two of the more practical ones, but they are not as good as Orochimaru. The curse seal you master is so magical.
In order to alleviate the unsuppressible seasonal movement deep in his soul, Shimura Danzo even referred to the principle of cursed seal and caged bird, as well as jinchūriki manufacturing technology, to suppress his own mental power and chakra, leaving him in a semi-sealed state to prevent his actions from being too abnormal. Clues were discovered by outsiders.
During these days, Shimura Danzo felt like he was bound by chains mentally, his movements were restricted, and his chakra was not functioning smoothly. He has not fully adapted to it until now.
The advantage of doing this is like wearing a weight, which makes your mental endurance stronger. Once you are freed, apart from having to intensify your efforts to satisfy your strong appetite, there are no other side effects, and your mental strength can be temporarily greatly enhanced.
Of course, this method is only a temporary measure, and it is impossible to really expect it to completely eliminate the side effects of the Forbidden Technique: Immortal Reincarnation. As Shimura Danzo becomes more and more dependent on replacement soul containers, the effects of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause will become less and less effective.
Just when "The Darkness of the Ninja World" was immersed in the soothing aftertaste of emotions and closed his eyes to rest, his reliable confidant Terai came to report.
It has been a long time since the "Root" organization paid attention to matters related to the Chunin Examination.
Oto Ninja Village and Orochimaru are inextricably linked. Shimura Danzo knows it. How deep it is, no one except Orochimaru himself knows. Kabuto Yakushi and his friends have been monitored continuously by Shimura Danzo for a long time.
However, there are still puzzling situations that occur...
"There was a blank period of nearly half an hour, and then an unexpected attack happened?"
Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes slightly and asked indifferently,
"What is your conclusion?"
"Someone was covering up and misled us to focus on the Star Ninjas. Of course they also need to focus on them, and they even stay out of the examiner's sight for a long time..."
"In other words, two important surveillance targets have actually been lost."
Most of the time, it was meaningless and perfunctory, disappearing for a short time, and then something big happened.
"It is certain that the people coming from the Sound Ninja side are all abandoned. The targets who appeared before have not shown up since. It can be basically judged that they have been abandoned and have died. This time, it should be no exception..."
"Using the Chuunin Exam to conduct experiments, they have such a big burden. Aren't they afraid that we will fall out and plow the court to clean up the holes?"
"I shouldn't be afraid...but I can test it out."
"forget it."
Shimura Danzo also knew that what he said was out of anger. The Sound Ninja Village and so on were only superficial "vests". Orochimaru still valued them more, but there was no need to overestimate how much he cherished them.
He once almost became one of the "Three Ninjas" before the Fourth Hokage, how could he take the mere Sound Ninja Village to his heart?
There is some use value, but it’s hard to say anything else.
The entire Sound Ninja Village is a tool driven by Orochimaru's needs, not its core interests.
"Even the Fusagi family can support two ninja villages and build a country. Their superficial identity is not a handle, but a channel of communication."
After pondering for a moment, Danzo Shimura ordered:
"If any Sound Ninja members die in battle, bring their bodies back."
Die in battle?
It seems that not many unlucky people lost their lives this year, and the people from Sound Ninja Village are well versed in how to save lives, so no one died.
However, "Darkness of the Ninja World" requires the corpses of "killed in battle", so it will definitely not go wrong.
"Go and make arrangements immediately."
Terai, who was very understanding, took the order and left.
The "Root" organization is not an organization that follows the rules. Although it does not do many low-level frame-ups, it does not happen once or twice. If necessary, it is not a problem to kill a few people who do not deserve to die. What's more, , those sound ninjas are not good people to begin with, they are basically people who deserve to die.
After everything was arranged, Danzo Shimura began to worry about the problems he currently needed to solve.
In addition to being driven by the wind god's instinct and having difficulty controlling himself, the "Darkness of the Ninja World" has not forgotten the fundamental goal of performing the forbidden technique: Reincarnation. If his original body had not collapsed and his strength had declined significantly, making him unable to support his ambition to "dominate the ninja world", this completely unproven forbidden technique would not have been used on him at all.
Now it's too late to regret it. How to improve your strength and continue your unfinished business is the most important thing.
Fengshen's body is indeed excellent, but he doesn't have many advantages in other aspects. In particular, Danzo Shimura was originally proficient in wind escape, sealing techniques, etc. A strong vessel like a "meat tank" did not fully fit the fighting style of "Darkness in the Ninja World".
After adjustments and rest, I have almost recovered to 70% of my peak level. I can now use the Wind Release Ninjutsu freely. The Curse and Sealing Techniques are still a bit unfamiliar, but it does not affect my use. The extremely powerful Mangekyō Sharingan Jutsu and Wood Escape is definitely unusable, and a series of forbidden techniques based on this cannot be used either.
A decrease in strength is unacceptable. Now that he has begun to use the forbidden technique, the Reincarnation of the Corpse, and is on the road to seizing an excellent soul container, he naturally wants to maximize its value.
"The body of the God of Wind is only a temporary measure. His younger brother, the God of Thunder, will definitely not be able to meet further needs. The next choice of soul container must be put on the agenda." 』
Under the "Root" organization, there are actually many "tool men" who are willing to devote their lives to Shimura Danzo. However, relying on their qualifications not only cannot make Shimura Danzo's strength to a higher level, but also the "impurities" in his soul On the contrary, it will pollute the will of the "Darkness of the Ninja World", causing cognitive deviations and changes in character.
While looking for ways to avoid the backlash of forbidden spells and immortal reincarnation, you must also carefully select your soul container and make preparations in advance. You cannot be hasty like choosing Fengshen for the first time.
…
Half a day later, in the central tower of the Death Forest, due to the clearance of Sasame, Inuzuka Hana and others, most of the candidates were defeated and lost their qualifications. A few lucky ones escaped the final cleansing and successfully obtained the qualifications.
Even so, there are still too many people who pass the second trial, and the third trial must be conducted in advance to select no more than ten and no less than eight elites to enter the third trial.
After another three hours of play, only the last spot was left to be decided.
Sasame stared at the green-faced monster with a somewhat unsightly expression on his face. After undergoing a second transformation, he had grown two pairs of arms and was covered in sticky gelatin.
Sasame, who is good at manipulating ninja tools and applying poison, is actually not very suitable for ring duels. Of course, his opponent is also a master who specializes in setting traps and assassination.
However, although the opponent's absolute strength became stronger after changing his form, his brain became increasingly difficult to use, and the outcome of the battle developed in an uncontrollable direction.
Now the Hoshi ninja has won over Kageno, has qualified, and defeated another Konoha ninja, a greasy fat man who has undergone many transformations and has infinite strength. After Ying Ye used his unique move, he won in a thrilling way.
The "transformation technique" of constantly transforming into bodies and gaining super strength seemed to have side effects. Ying Ye's opponent couldn't hold on and his body collapsed and fell. Sasame firmly believed that the guy he faced must also be holding on.
Whether they can advance or not depends on who persists longer.
He took out two Fuma shurikens, wrapped them in the changed water attribute chakra, and then threw them suddenly.
Not to be outdone, the guy on the opposite side flicked his six arms, and long sticky threads intertwined into a mesh and covered him, blocking the path of the Fuma Shuriken.
The energy on the surface of the flying ninja tool vibrated like running water, friction with the air, and then pushed the Fuma shuriken to vibrate abnormally like water floating on water. The frequency became faster and faster, and the speed became unpredictable. The gap between the nets jumped across and hit the six-armed monster hard. The sharp edge directly cut off three arms at the wrist.
"Succeeded."
Seeing this, Sasame quickly formed a seal, forming a triangle seal with his hands, aiming at his opponent who was wailing after being severely injured.
"Ninja Technique: Mandala Binding."
A three-ribbon cone-shaped colorful barrier wraps the opponent, shrinking as the seals are suppressed, locking him inside.
Whenever a body comes into contact with the barrier, a powerful electric spark will erupt, paralyzing the resistance of the unlucky guy trapped inside.
The six-armed monster, which needed space to operate, was suppressed by the increasingly smaller barrier. He could only curl up and endure the lightning that was constantly raging in his body, struggling desperately but to no avail.
It was possible to break the barrier from within, but Tsumugi's opponent obviously didn't have the strength.
The Fuuma clan's special skills can only be learned by direct clan members and taught by senior elders. They are still somewhat magical. The ninja clan that has been passed down for hundreds of years still has some foundation. Even the incomplete secret techniques passed down are not ordinary people. It can be broken at will.
"Hey, why don't you admit defeat? If you continue, you will die."
Another teammate who was holding on for dear life had already lost half his life and was taken down to be rescued. However, the unassuming Kabuto Yakushi quit on his own initiative very wisely.
For the sake of being a Konoha ninja, Baiyun Yeshan asked this question to prevent the younger generation from the same village from suffering irreversible damage. Even though this guy looks annoying, he is still a compatriot after all. It is already very embarrassing to be defeated by a star ninja. If he loses his life because he cannot recognize the situation clearly, as the examiner, his face will be disgraced.
The opponent, who had been pressed into a ball and could not stretch his arms and legs, kept wailing. Just when Baiyun Yeshan was about to forcefully end the competition and end the useless struggle, he saw that the unlucky guy's body went limp and he completely lost consciousness.
After hurriedly calling the medical team to enter, the examiner Baiyun Yeshan made a hurried announcement.
"Winner, Sasame. Prepare to draw lots later!"
At the same time, the "Root" ninja disguised as an examiner carried the unconscious guy away on a stretcher, but instead of sending him to the medical room for emergency treatment, he went directly to the "Root" organization base.
"The traitor who was instigated by Orochimaru, before death, dedicates his life to Danzo-sama, that is his value. 』
There is no such thing as rescue. Being mixed up with Orochimaru's eyes and ears is definitely not a good thing, not to mention that Konoha ninjas don't have that weird "secret technique of transformation".
Abandoning a child must have the consciousness of abandoning a child. If it loses its use value, it will be lucky to die happily.
