In the dark room, a bright yellow light was on.
This is a laboratory with a relatively simple environment. Compared to the underground laboratory in Konoha, the equipment and materials provided by this laboratory are not sufficient.
However, originally this place was just used as a place where supplies could be supplied at any time, but of course the standards had to be lowered.
This laboratory is located in a secret base somewhere in the Kingdom of Tea. After sufficient funds, Shiraishi asked the organization's subordinates to build such strongholds for supply in many countries.
However, most of the strongholds are set up in small countries, and only a few are set up in the five major countries. The personnel who usually guard the strongholds will use special codes to communicate.
In the huge floor-to-ceiling glass column, the clay man Earth General was placed. It was filled with an emerald green solution, which contained a large amount of natural energy, as well as some recovery potions to restore its body.
Although General Tu has a certain degree of 'immortality', he is not truly immortal.
After experiencing such a tragic explosion, no matter how strong its vitality is, it already feels exhausted.
Most of the 'soil' has been synthesized into part of the body, but a few pieces of 'soil' are still free in the solution and are slowly recovering.
After a while, the laboratory door opened.
Bug Man walked in from outside.
"It's broken into pieces like this, can it still be restored?"
He walked to Shiraishi and looked at General Tu in the glass pillar with interest, feeling incredible about the vitality of this artificial creature.
"After all, the core of this guy is natural energy as its energy supply. At the moment of explosion, it absorbed a lot of energy in the sea and offset most of the explosion force."
"In other words, as long as the natural energy is immortal, does it mean that it will not die?"
This was the first time for Bug Man to hear such a thing.
Shiraishi smiled and said: "Theoretically, this is true, but it is limited to theory. In fact, there is a limit to endurance, but if it is incorporated with stronger senjutsu chakra in the future, it will be the perfect one in my ideal Cyborg."
Insect Man didn't understand this, but he also knew that the creature created by Shiraishi had, to some extent, exceeded the limits of chakra.
If it is promoted to perfection, it is unpredictable how terrifying it will become.
But this idea is a bit unfounded. As the creator, it is impossible for Shiraishi not to leave something in his body.
As a creation, how could the Creator allow it to betray Himself?
There will definitely be complete restrictions and control measures.
The clay man, General Tu, just looked left and right in the emerald green solution with his black hole-like eyes that emitted a light golden light. He seemed to be considering something seriously. He spit out bubbles from his mouth, and then started swimming and playing in the glass column.
Even the resentment in his eyes dissipated a lot.
"Is it okay there in Konoha? You've been away for so long?"
"It's okay. These two days are weekends, and the ninja school is on holiday. In another hour, General Dou's body will recover. Then he can let him sneak back to Konoha and channel me back. The total time will not exceed ten Hours."
Even if there is an accident, Liuli will help him hide it.
Moreover, for a transparent person like himself, the only Sannin who can be involved with the Hokage faction is Tsunade.
As for Sakumo, he is a representative of the civilian class. Strictly speaking, he cannot completely belong to the Hokage family.
"Did you read the last letter I sent to you?"
Thinking of something, Shiraishi looked at Insect Man.
"Yes. Akatsuki's people will no longer have contact with it, and the Kingdom of Rain will be treated as a restricted area, and all strongholds there will be taken back."
Bug Man replied.
Although he didn't know what happened to make Shiraishi make such a decision, as a subordinate, he only needed to execute the order.
"What are the arrangements for the remnants of the Uzumaki clan?"
"Yesterday, we sent people to escort them back to the Kingdom of Ghosts. This is their blood and hair."
The insect man took out two transparent sanitary bags. One sanitary bag contained bright red hair, and the other sanitary bag contained several tubes of blood.
Shiraishi accepted these, still believing in Insect Man's ability to do things.
Cautious, decisive, and very general-like.
Even some important tasks will be handed over to him by Shiraishi, and the degree of completion makes Shiraishi very satisfied.
"Didn't they reveal the whereabouts of the remaining Uzumaki survivors?"
Shiraishi felt that the remnants of the Uzumaki clan were probably secretly communicating with each other, and he hoped to find other survivors through these remnants of the Uzumaki clan.
Whether they are allowed to learn sealing techniques or transformed into combatants, they will be much stronger than ordinary people.
He is born with stronger vitality and chakra than ordinary people, so he is very suitable for cultivating the natural energy system.
"No. But I believe it's just a matter of time."
"As long as you are sure."
Shiraishi didn't ask how to take care of these Uzumaki survivors, but he believed that the insect man definitely understood what he meant, and just let him handle the specific details.
At present, the organization has recruited many useful talents.
For example, there were blacksmiths, engineers, doctors, etc. who were well-known in the ninja world. Anyway, as long as they were people who had real talents and hard work and fell into a miserable life, Shiraishi would let Mushiman and the others recruit them.
Then gather these people in the headquarters of the Kingdom of Ghosts to work for the organization.
During the period of primitive accumulation of the organization, the help provided by these people may not be very great, but primitive accumulation will one day be completed, and by that time, the organization will truly take off.
Talents from all walks of life must be cultivated, because compared to combatants, the cultivation of these talents is the most difficult.
The reason is that natural energy can be achieved quickly, while knowledge and experience can only be accumulated over time.
The prosperity of an organization cannot be separated from these ordinary people with extraordinary talents.
"By the way, this is a letter sent to you, the leader, by the witch Maitreya of the Kingdom of Ghosts."
Insect Man took out a letter from his arms and put it in Shiraishi's hand.
After doing this, Chong Man left here. As an organization cadre, he still had many important things to do.
Shiraishi looked surprised as he held this letter from the witch from the Kingdom of Ghosts.
Because in the letter, he felt something familiar——
Natural energy.
Maitreya, the witch from the Kingdom of Ghosts... also knows how to use natural energy?
Shiraishi felt strange.
Because he understands that many people in the ninja world are not aware of the existence of natural energy. Even if they know senjutsu, it is a matter for ninjas.
However, compared to the total human population, the proportion of ninjas among them is very small.
And even among the ninja profession, only a very small group of people know about natural energy.
Shiraishi didn't think that natural energy was his own patent. It was too arrogant to think so.
Because before him, some of the psychic beast clan had learned to use natural energy, and even combined it with chakra to form an immortal magic system.
But this time, Shiraishi was definitely the second existence with natural energy that he had seen besides his own people.
"Miko from the Kingdom of Ghosts..."
It is said that the shrine maiden who holds the power in the Kingdom of Demons has the mysterious power to see into the future.
And he also possesses unknown sealing techniques, which can seal all kinds of monsters and monsters passed down from ancient times.
"It seems that the path of natural energy is not lonely at all..."
Shiraishi smiled, wiped away the natural energy on the letter, and took out the letter paper.
Shiraishi picked up this piece of letter paper. There was only one line on it——
Watch out for Mount Myoki.
Gone.
Only these five words.
Shiraishi frowned.
"Be careful with Mt. Miaomu..."
What does it mean?
Why should we be careful about Mt. Myoboku?
There shouldn't be anything involved between him and Miao Mushan.
Why should we be careful about these toads?
Shiraishi thought of the sudden increase in the number of toads in Konoha's underground waterways a few years ago, and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, the light flickering.
"Miko? What an interesting existence..."
He did not fully believe the contents of the miko's letter, but a few years ago, the number of toads suddenly increased in Konoha, which alerted Ruri's ninja cat.
It is suspected that Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, did it.
Now, Shiraishi has increased this suspicion, thinking that the probability that this was done by Sannin Jiraiya has become higher.
Although he really wanted to go to the Kingdom of Ghosts and talk to the miko in person, he had too many things going on here and couldn't leave for the time being.
Wait, it seems there is nothing we can do.
Shiraishi looked at the clay man Doge Shogun who was playing in the huge floor-to-ceiling glass column. As a communication tool, there was no more suitable candidate than him.
Looking at its carefree and carefree appearance, you can tell that it is very free now and has a lot of time to use.
You have to find something to do for it to move its body to prevent it from getting rusty.
◎
Returning to Konoha was more than nine hours later, and it was almost dawn the next day.
Today is Sunday, and the ninja school is still on holiday. Shiraishi can freely move around at home.
If you are an ordinary ninja, you will certainly not be able to live on this meager income, and even renting a house is a bit reluctant.
After all, he is not a full-time teacher. His monthly salary can support himself and there is still some leftover.
But as the child adopter of a genius Uchiha girl, Shiraishi felt that he would go to the ninja school to be Tsunade's assistant just to experience life.
It doesn't matter whether you have money or not, what matters is a positive and optimistic attitude towards life.
Hyuga Fire Array, who was lying unconscious on the operating table, was also transported back by General Tu.
Shiraishi had already slept for several hours before he was reverse-channeled, in order to ensure that he could use enough energy to study when he came back.
Shiraishi didn't intend to waste time. Although he had plenty of time, after solving the caged bird, he would start to penetrate Xianjutsu and focus his energy on this aspect.
That way, I will be more confident about many future plans.
Not only can it increase the strength of yourself, Liuli, and Ayane, but it can also be a huge improvement for some core cadres.
Hyuga Fire Formation was injected with a special sleeping pill, and powerful restraint tools were used to fix his whole body on the operating table, disrupting the flow of chakra in his body so that he could not use his Byakugan and Soft Fists to resist, lest he wake up in time. to interrupt his research.
"Liu Li hasn't gotten up yet..."
Baishi thought for a while and decided not to disturb Liuli, so he let General Tu look at his body.
Shiraishi walked to the fire array, formed a seal with his hands, and the illusory spirit body separated from his body. Without the fire array's consciousness, it directly entered his body, connected with his spiritual world, and obtained the secret of Byakugan.
As for the clan ninjas, they probably know more about Byakugan and the secrets of the caged bird.
This guy's status in the Hinata family is not low.
Different from the blank spiritual world that the white creature entered last time, there are many more things in the spiritual world of the fire array.
Shiraishi was wandering in this unknown world. In front of him, there were stone pillars with white ropes tied to their roots, blocking the road side by side, allowing Shiraishi to pass.
"Is there really a protective spell? I knew it wouldn't be that simple. It should be some kind of powerful sealing spell."
Shiraishi's expression became cautious.
The terrifying experience I encountered last time in the spiritual world of that white creature is still vivid in my mind.
Although the pressure these stone pillars bring to him is not as huge as the pressure of the Sharingan, from a sensory point of view, it is also a very powerful technique, and the composition of the technique is also somewhat different from ordinary sealing techniques.
"It's really a challenging task."
Now that he knew the power of the technique, Shiraishi began to look for the specific structure of the technique, and found the weak points to break into it.
Shiraishi placed his palm on the stone pillar tied with a white rope to sense it.
The art of spiritual transformation is a very convenient S-level secret ninjutsu. It has special and comprehensive functions, especially the magical effects on the soul and spirit, which are involved in many aspects.
In any case, the spells set up in Huo Zhen's mind are based on the spiritual world. Then, Shiraishi can use the spiritual technique to find weaknesses and find entrances.
"The weakness is here."
Shiraishi quickly untied the white ropes on the three stone pillars in order.
At the same moment, the stone pillar blocking the road in front of him immediately shattered and collapsed in all directions.
"Thus……"
Before he finished speaking, a large number of stone pillars tied with white ropes fell from above, surrounding them like a cage, binding Bai Shi inside.
Cold sweat broke out on Shiraishi's forehead.
"Does plural spells exist? It's a little difficult..."
Shiraishi had no choice but to continue looking for the entrance to the technique.
But when he went to touch these stone pillars and sense them, he found that no matter how hard he moved forward, he could not touch the stone pillars.
Even though he was walking, the distance between the stone pillars did not change, but the distance was always endless.
Shiraishi stopped and continuing to walk would only over-exhaust his mental energy.
The second stage technique is obviously more complicated than the first stage technique.
Baishi calmed down and looked at the surrounding stone pillars carefully, trying to find something.
After watching it for a while, Shiraishi found that the formation of the stone pillars was a bit familiar.
"This formation is...a Bagua diagram?"
Shiraishi murmured to himself.
"Infinitely invisible, all-encompassing... It seems that it will take a lot of time to crack it..."
Shiraishi had no choice but to cheer up and slowly look for an exit.
Time passes slowly.
When the illusory spirit body returned to his body, Shiraishi saw the time next to him, which was already nine o'clock in the evening. He felt that his stomach was empty, caused by excessive hunger.
"Did it take so long?"
He felt that he didn't spend much time in the spiritual world of the Hyuga Fire Array, and as a result, a whole day passed like this.
And Huo Zhen, who was on the operating table, had his eyes turned white...his eyes were originally white.
But after opening it, visible blood streaks burst out from the pure white eyeballs, drooling from the corners of his mouth, and there were signs of a violent struggle on the operating table.
On the experimental table next to it, there was some food that was already a little cold. It should have been brought in by Liuli.
After Shiraishi finished eating briefly, he asked General Dou to pass these plates out.
He gained a lot in the spiritual world of the fire array. After using one day to crack the second plural existence spell, the road was smooth sailing and he could obtain various memories of the fire array unimpeded.
Of course, there are some secrets about Caged Bird and Byakugan that are not revealed to the public.
Moreover, through the physical perception of the fire array, Shiraishi also understood the difference between the Byakugan of the Zong family and the Byakugan of the branch family.
The shortcomings of the Byakugan of the Separate Family are not reflected in the Byakugan of the Zong Family.
And that part of the flaw is also related to the caged bird.
Thanks to this, Shiraishi found the 'thread' that connects Byakugan and the caged bird.
This is somewhat similar to defusing a bomb.
If you cut it wrong, it will explode.
"Bring him to the Kingdom of Ghosts. It's useless to leave him here. By the way, take this letter to the witch in the Kingdom of Ghosts."
Shiraishi picked up a sealed letter and asked the general to carry it, and let it wrap the body of Hyuga Fire Formation and send it to the Kingdom of Ghosts.
"The next step is to crack the caged bird..."
I happened to have a material on hand.
On another operating table, there was another Hyuga clan ninja - Hinata Shingo.
The Hyuga branch ninja was initially captured by Shiraishi's men.
His role is to explore the path on behalf of Ayane.
Shiraishi walked to the experimental table and began to mix the potion.
His initial approach was actually a cracking plan, and he already had a complete feasible plan.
The reason for exploring the spiritual world of the Fire Formation was just to confirm this, and also to get the difference between the Byakugan of the branch family and the Byakugan of the clan.
According to Ayane, there is a blind spot in the Byakugan of the branch family. Only the Byakugan of the clan is a flawless Byakugan, and there is no blind spot.
The difference between the clan's white eyes and the branch family's white eyes lies in the caged bird.
This flaw in the Byakugan of Separation family is obviously caused by the caged bird.
Only by comparing the successful case of the Zong family's Byakugan, Shiraishi can accurately find out the 'flaws' of the Byakugan of the branch family, and then what kind of techniques and methods can be used to solve it.
First inject the natural energy potion in advance, then extract the chakra, and then the caged bird curse seal will be triggered.
At that time, it was not only the most dangerous time for Hinata's separated ninjas, but also the vulnerability of the caged bird.
The reason why he failed to succeed last time was because Shiraishi could not determine where the 'flaw' of the Byakugan was. It was a very concealed explosive line.
Only by comparing the flawless white eyes of the Zong family can we determine which explosion line it is.
Getting rid of this explosive line is a key part of preserving the Byakugan.
But by that time, the experimental subject itself had died due to loss of chakra.
Therefore, this cracking method still uses 'death' to achieve the cracking conditions.
The difference is that this form of death due to chakra is a special state of 'suspended death' in Shiraishi's research.
The natural energy that is initially maintained in the body of the experimental subject is a special energy that has been reconciled through many procedures. After the death of the human body, it will actively supply energy to the living body to ensure that the experimental subject can carry out life activities at a minimum.
This state will remain between two and three hours.
Finally, the recovery operation was completed within two to three hours, allowing the experimental subject to resurrect.
All the steps were clear at a glance. Shiraishi carefully read them more than ten times and simulated them in his mind more than ten times before he started to operate on Hinata Shingo.
The theoretical structure is very complete and there is nothing that needs to be added.
Next, just look at the practical results.
Failure results only in death.
Shiraishi stood in front of Hinata Shingo and took a deep breath.
I hope your belief in longing for freedom can bless you to survive. Bai Shi thought silently in his heart.
He ruthlessly injected natural energy into Hinata Shingo's body and began the operation.
◎
dark.
pain.
There is also the imprisoned personality.
Hinata Shingo woke up from the darkness again. For some reason, he had an unreal feeling about the whole world, as if he was just waking up from a big dream.
Is my sense of existence too thin for this world?
He sat up with difficulty from the operating table and looked around confusedly.
The originally cold shelves and experimental benches, as well as the serious smell of disinfectant, made him feel less disgusted.
He looked down at his hands.
"Am I still alive?"
He fell into a state of thinking, and then his head hurt.
He always felt that his body was very stiff, like a zombie.
"Sure, how does it feel to come back from hell?"
A sudden young male voice came from the side, startling Zhenwu.
Shiraishi walked over without any precautions and looked at his whole body with a strange smile, as if he was observing something carefully.
Shingo wanted to jump aside, but his body wouldn't let him.
Not only was he very hungry now, but he also didn't have much strength in his body.
Shiraishi said nothing, just took out a mirror and gave it to him.
"?"
"Look at your face."
Zhenwu held the mirror in his hand. Although he was very confused about Shiraishi's behavior, at this time, there seemed to be no other way but to obey.
He looked at his face in the mirror.
He is handsome and young, but his face is a bit off.
Other than that, it's no different than usual.
What do you want to see for yourself?
"Didn't you notice?"
"What?"
"Forehead."
"Forehead?"
What's on your forehead?
Zhenwu subconsciously didn't want to face this kind of thing.
Because every time he looks in the mirror, he ignores his forehead.
For him, the thing on his forehead would remind him of painful memories from long ago.
But Shiraishi's request made it difficult for him, so he had to look at his forehead.
He froze.
Gone.
The mark on the forehead is gone.
Nothing at all.
He touched his forehead. It wasn't that it was smeared, it was really gone.
Stunned, he looked at himself in the mirror and began to cry uncontrollably.
For him, nothing could make him cry more than this.
After being imprinted with the caged bird mark when he was six years old, this was the first time he felt something familiar and yet unfamiliar after more than twenty years of absence.
A taste that transcends all existence and makes him addicted and unable to extricate himself.
