Among the five major countries in the ninja world, the people of the Earth Country have the simplest temperament, and can also be said to be the most stubborn.
It is difficult to change things that you are sure about.
Iwa Ninja is the stinky and tough representative of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
It can be said that the five-tailed Jinchuuriki, Lao Zi, expresses his stubborn temper vividly in himself.
Even the venerable Tsuchikage Sandaime Onoki refuses to accept his objections and defectes at the slightest disagreement.
Of course, this cannot be said externally.
The news of the Jinchuuriki's defection was leaked, so what?
When describing this matter, Iwa Ninja always used words such as "running away" and "traveling".
This is the same as when Konoha ninjas described Jiraiya and Tsunade.
If what Orochimaru didn't do was really bad, I'd probably have to "invent" a less conspicuous word to excuse Orochimaru's depravity and rebellion.
To outsiders, this kind of thing doesn't matter.
Lao Zi's running away from the village, whether he was defecting or traveling, did not affect Orochimaru's view on this matter.
The timid Iwa Ninja found it difficult to find people in other countries, but Orochimaru didn't have this worry.
He has been deeply involved in the northern country for many years and has a fairly strong intelligence network. He quickly found traces of the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Lao Zi, based on the information revealed by the Iwa Ninjas.
Lao Zi, who realized that he was being watched, stared at the five figures condescendingly, without saying a word, as he judged the other party's intention to ambush.
"If you are not an Iwa ninja, who are you?"
"The Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Lao Zi?"
Feng Molan, who was smiling but not smiling, said in a pretentious manner,
"Can you follow us where we need to go?"
"Where to go?"
"You'll know when you get there!"
Such an unclear answer naturally failed to satisfy Lao Zi, so he responded with a few hot magma balls.
"I knew that the so-called negotiation was a waste of time!"
The grumpy Kidomaru shot shurikens with two arms, slightly slowing down the speed of the lava ball, threw out a white tough spider web with two arms, and finally formed seals with his two arms, preparing to perform ninjutsu.
"Lord Orochimaru just asked us to take him back, and he didn't say what method to use."
Feng Molan still said unmoved,
“I want to use the least laborious method, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
"It's just that the other party doesn't seem to appreciate it very much!"
Jirobo, who was the strongest, squatted down, tore a rock from the ground and threw it towards the opponent.
Lao Zi, who was so nimble that he didn't look like an old man, was able to dodge the attacks of the five sound ninjas with just a few moves and kept closing the distance.
"With our strength, can we really suppress a mature Jinchuuriki? The opponent is not a novice, and it is difficult to deal with it."
Sakon said with some worry, and glanced at Fuma Arashi, who was regarded as the leader,
"Should we take a more prudent approach? It would be very difficult for us to confront each other head-on."
The side effect of the combat power blessing provided by the curse seal is that it consumes a lot of physical strength and chakra.
After entering the second state, it will not only damage the life span, but even cause the mind to become abnormal.
In comparison, the jinchūriki's "sustainability" ability is far from comparable to that of the five sound ninjas.
As long as there is enough time, the upper limit of the damage a jinchuriki can achieve is unpredictable.
In fact, none of the five people present had the power to subdue the Jinchuuriki. Only Fuma Arashi had a few trump cards that he could use.
A real fight confirmed Sakon's guess.
Lao Zi's melting chakra mode is really troublesome.
High-temperature and hot lava is a problem even if you get close to it, and its defense is still so high.
Most of the attacks of the five sound ninjas are used against ninjas, not "monsters" like jinchūriki.
When Lao Zi activated the half-tailed beast transformation, even Feng Molan, who gradually revealed the power of "Wedge", had some difficulty.
The magma spread on the ground severely restricted people's movement.
Kidomaru's spider stick gold is also severely restrained, not to mention Tayuya's genjutsu. It is basically impossible to defeat the opponent. The so-called size and characteristics of the "three ghosts" are a joke in front of the jinchuriki.
Jirobo, who needed to get close to take advantage of his strength, could not find a reliable attack method other than throwing rocks.
Only Sakon and Fuma Arashi, who have the ability to attack with ninjutsu and sealing techniques, can cause effective damage to the four-tailed jinchūriki.
Fighting between people and fighting between people and monsters are completely different.
Just when the high-spirited Lao Zi was about to fight back the five sound ninjas, the ground suddenly shook, and long snakes rushed out from the ground, heading towards Lao Zi, and surrounded him. Then wrap it up.
The snake ball composed of countless snakes seems to be the basis of a super powerful sealing formation. It not only has strong suppression ability, but also can effectively absorb the dissipated chakra, which is especially effective against jinchūriki.
After a few minutes, Lao Zi, who was struggling, gradually fell silent. The snakes dispersed, revealing the unconscious four-tailed jinchuriki.
Seeing that the battle ended in such an exaggerated way, the five sound ninjas did not dare to be angry at being used as bait. They stepped forward very respectfully and saluted Orochimaru who suddenly appeared.
Orochimaru glanced at Fuumalan with a half-smile,
"The mission is completed, you... are very good. I won't hold you accountable for your merciless fault..."
Even though the strength of the five sound ninjas might not be able to compete with a mature Jinchuuriki, they should never be in such a mess.
If Feng Molan showed some real skills, the other four people wouldn't be beaten to the point of running away.
What Tayuya, Kidomaru, Jirobo and Sakon Ukon thought was unknown for the time being. Fuma Arashi just smiled and lowered his head, neither panicking nor defending, just waiting for Orochimaru to continue speaking.
Orochimaru, who successfully caught Lao Zi, didn't pay attention to these trivial matters. He summoned a big snake, swallowed Lao Zi whole, and left.
After a few minutes, the five sound ninjas breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that their boss was really gone.
Sakon looked at Fuma Arashi with a somewhat unkind look.
"Are you... letting the water go? How dare you not do your best for the tasks assigned by Lord Orochimaru?"
"I am loyal to Lord Orochimaru in my own way. Don't speculate on my intentions with your shallow thoughts."
"Do you think you can convince me and others just like this?"
"persuade?"
Feng Molan slapped away the extended hand and mocked unceremoniously,
"Do you think too highly of yourself? I have never had to explain anything to you! As for persuasion, that is even more of a joke! Sound Ninja Village, is there anything that requires your consent before it can be executed?"
"You bastard!"
Sakon was hit in a painful spot and was about to fight with his fists, but Jirobo and Kidomaru held his arms.
Only Tayuya stood by Fuma Arashi, but he didn't say much and silently expressed his support.
The five sound ninjas were not united in the first place. They were just barely united together on the surface as they were all working for Orochimaru.
This time on the mission, it seemed that the false tacit understanding was shattered.
"I will watch you! Once you betray Lord Orochimaru, I will kill you."
"If you can do it, you can try."
Facing the furious Sakon, Feng Molan was not worried at all.
Orochimaru himself doesn't care, so why are the other minions so enthusiastic?
Apart from fools, how many people working in the Sound Ninja Village do not have their own thoughts?
I am a person who doesn't have much sense of belonging. No one is very loyal. It's enough to take care of your own thoughts.
Such an insignificant incident was quickly notified to Gushan Bushui, who was thousands of miles away.
Compared with the internal discord among the five sound ninjas, Kosugi Fusui was more curious about Orochimaru's move to capture the fourth-tailed jinchuriki Lao Zi.
The whereabouts of every tailed beast is important.
The "Akatsuki" organization's demand for tailed beasts is almost unstoppable. Anyone who has a tailed beast must be on guard to avoid being blocked by S-class traitorous ninjas.
Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village were the worst, with people being killed directly on their doorsteps. The latter, in particular, was almost bulldozed.
Orochimaru took the initiative to capture Lao Zi. No matter what his purpose was, it was obvious that he had placed himself in a hostile position with the "Akatsuki" organization.
In the past, you could turn a blind eye and ignore his little actions, but now, you have to treat him.
"What's the use of catching the four-tailed Jinchuuriki? Orochimaru's power system is somewhat conflicted with the tailed beasts, so he shouldn't take the initiative! That's why he's going after the Jinchuuriki. What's there to study about the Jinchuuriki?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya replied somewhat speculatively:
"We are studying the incomplete symbiotic relationship between ninjas and tailed beasts, right? Instead of swallowing the fruit of the sacred tree or planting the sacred tree yourself to become the Ten-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the vitality of ordinary people will be destroyed. "
"How to destroy it?"
"If you regard the mortal body as a container and forcefully seal the tailed beast inside, if it cannot hold it to death, it will expand. After the tailed beast is removed, the person will die. It is essentially similar to the pressure imbalance of a submarine. The tailed beast is very harmful to The body and soul cause great pressure. In order to balance and not burst, it must be pressurized from the outside. This is the seal. Think about it, on the seabed with a depth of 10,000 meters, the internal and external pressures interact with each other to barely maintain balance. When the pressure is lowered, most of the internal pressure will be suddenly removed, and the external pressure will instantly crush the outer shell.”
"Immolation!"
If the ancient cedar divination water has enlightenment,
"Can the 'external pressure' be eliminated simultaneously?"
"The sealing technique itself is one of the underlying rules of the ninja world. I can't break through the strongest sealing technique. How can ordinary people deal with it clearly? An accident is equivalent to knocking a hole in the shell of a submarine. That can It’s really hopeless.”
The evolution of the Otsutsuki clan has reached an extremely tough level. Like a balloon, they can continuously adjust their bodies and reach higher levels as they gain strength.
Humans... are still too primitive after all.
"So, in essence, a pseudo-Jinchuuriki like Sora is also dangerous? If he is not strong enough, he will die if he is separated from the tailed beast?"
"The native humans of the ninja world who are not strong enough will be dead before they can extract the tailed beast chakra and infuse it with the tailed beast chakra. Sora is actually a somewhat qualified talent. Otherwise, eleven years ago, he would have died. He was tortured to death by his biological father."
"That's it!"
Gushan Bu Shui asked with enlightenment,
"Then...where did this woman Mito Uzumaki get the method of sealing tailed beasts into chūriki? I don't believe that she can develop this magical sealing technique by herself!"
Otsutsuki Kaguya replied with a somewhat unpleasant expression:
"Sealing Technique was not a ninjutsu system at the beginning, it was just carried forward by the Uzumaki clan. In the beginning, its name was 'Sealing God Technique'. From the beginning, its target was God. In the mythical age where gods and humans lived together, After the end, the art of conferring gods had no use, and was gradually forgotten by people. Only a few priests and witches who worshiped it still have a little bit of inheritance."
"It took a long time, but you are the source?"
"I just want to give it to humans and force them to deal with some 'miscellaneous gods'. You can't just randomly pop up a monster and ask me to take action, right? Humans can use it to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and they can also turn their power into Use it for yourself and improve your strength. As for whether it will be backlashed in the end, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the lifespan of the natives of the ninja world is not long. There are many people who are qualified to practice the art of apotheosis."
"I just didn't expect that someone would use it against you in the end, right?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya said with a somewhat ugly face:
"Essentially, they are all degraded versions of some secret techniques in Otsutsuki's bloodline, combined with the special powers of the ninja world. After thousands of years of evolution, they have become the current sealing techniques. Although the functions and appearance have changed, the essence is still the same. the same."
"Anyway, that's it! Then tell me, what is it about the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tailed Beasts that deserves Orochimaru's attention?"
"Tailed beasts and sealing techniques work together to actually change the form of the soul and the essence of life. Since you know that the descendants of ninjas who practice the sage mode are likely to be better adapted to natural energy, of course, the jinchūriki Their descendants will naturally have similar tendencies. As long as we understand the reason, we can constantly change our life forms through external forces and get closer to the essence of the Otsutsuki clan."
"Wait, you mean, you don't need the thawing process of the 'wedge' to load the genetic information of the Otsutsuki clan, and you can also become a 'quasi-Otsutsuki clan member'?"
"They are just similar! Sharks, dolphins, and penguins are all aquatic animals that can survive in the sea. They have many similarities in shape and habits, but they are essentially different. Fish, mammals, and birds are all different species."
"I understand!"
No matter how Orochimaru studies the legacy of the Otsutsuki clan, there is no "wedge" and he cannot reach the level of "quasi-Otsutsuki clan members". However, there is still hope for researching the "Otsutsuki clan" with similar power.
It's like he couldn't master immortal arts before, but he can still create roundabout things like curse seals.
"Do you want to stop him? Will it be very troublesome if he develops some black technology?"
