"Live, can I take some of those trees back?"

"Please, Menma-sama, these trees are of no use to me."

Menma walked in the wet bone forest, looking for things around him that might be useful.

We walked to the top of a hill with the live scorpion and the phosphorus, and then we stopped.

There is a clear stream here, with plump fish in it, and a small vegetable patch next to it, growing some green vegetables.

In addition, there are dozens of small live flies crawling slowly on several wooden houses made of white wood, seemingly using their own mucus to deal with bugs and stains on the wooden houses.

"This is a wooden house that the contractor once built. For convenience, vegetable fields and houses were built here to solve the problem of food and accommodation."

The living beetle said this.

However, Menma turned his attention to the "pool" next to the wooden house.

There was a pool of turbid milky white liquid inside, from which he felt the rich natural energy, which had even condensed into a mist visible to the naked eye.

"A live beetle, what is that?"

"Menma-sama should know some information about senjutsu, right?"

Menma nodded slightly, but did not answer. Instead, he looked at Xiao Xianglan who was holding hands beside him.

Noticing the teacher's gaze, Xiao Xianglian immediately reacted and replied without hesitation: "The so-called celestial art is to combine the chakra you have cultivated with the natural energy absorbed from the outside world to form a unique celestial art." Chakra system. Once successfully practiced, senjutsu can increase illusion, ninjutsu, and taijutsu several times or even ten times."

"A concise and perfect summary of the answer. It seems that Mr. Xiang Phosphorus has received professional training in magical knowledge."

Huo Li said with a little surprise in his gentle tone: "If you want to practice immortality, you must learn to perceive natural energy. However, for humans with complicated minds, it is very difficult to perceive natural energy. Some humans spend more than ten years and several years." In ten years, I have not been able to reach the first stage of perceiving natural energy.”

The living beetle understood that Mian Ma brought Xiang Phosphorus to Shigu Forest because he took a fancy to her talent and hoped that she could learn the magic of immortality. However, since ancient times, more than 95% of the humans who have come to Shigu Forest to practice immortality of people all ended in failure.

"In other words, celestial magic requires knowing the basic theory, but it is also something that is difficult to learn?"

"Yes."

Huo Li nodded and said: "So when teaching humans how to practice immortality, there are also special ways to help them perceive natural energy.

As it spoke, it pointed its tentacles to the pool next to it and said, "This is the slug fluid I secrete. Soak it in it and apply it on the body. It can not only heal injuries and get rid of poison, but also enhance the perception of natural energy."

"Soak, smear? I understand."

Xiaoxiang Phosphorus nodded.

If nothing else goes wrong, she will stay here to learn the magic of immortality for a while.

However, Xiang Ling was also a little impatient, wanting to officially enter the cultivation stage of immortality.

After all, this is "magic".

It seems that only the "Three Ninjas of Konoha" Jiraiya in the entire ninja world has mastered this power.

Even Tsunade and Orochimaru, who are the "Sannin of Konoha", have not mastered the power of "senjutsu".

Looking at the pool with no visible boundary, Menma's eyes flashed and he asked, "Can the slug liquid be taken outside for long-term storage?"

Treat injuries, eliminate poisons, and enhance the perception of natural energy...

This is a good thing for healing wounds and illnesses and assisting in spiritual practice!

"Sorry, no."

The living slug saw Menma's thoughts, shook his head and said: "Slug liquid is something that is transformed from natural energy through my body. It is like the snake venom from Ryūchi Cave and the toad oil from Miaomu Mountain. It will soon reach the outside world. It will lose its own effect.”

"Moreover, if this kind of thing is used for a long time, it will transform the human body into that of a slug. If you are not careful, it may absorb excessive natural energy and become petrified."

Hearing this, Xiao Xianglan was suddenly shocked.

Transform into a slug body?

Become a slug covered in slime?

Hey! Dama!

"Well, that's really a pity."

Menma was not too disappointed.

If this kind of good thing that can greatly reduce the casualty rate can be brought to the ninja world for human use, Tsunade would probably have used it for Konoha ninjas.

However, a flash of thought flashed in Menma's eyes.

"Slug liquid, toad oil, snake venom..."

He has been thinking about why the immortal arts learned from "Miaomu Mountain" and "Ryuji Cave" have the characteristics of frog and snake transformation.

Now it seems that it is not only because of the physical differences between toads, slugs, snakes and humans, but also because of the subtle influence of slug fluid, toad oil, and snake venom.

Fortunately, the living dragon did not hide anything from the contractor like the White Snake Immortal and the Big Toad Immortal.

"What's wrong, Menma-sama?"

Seemingly sensing Mianma's doubts, the live snake assured in a soft voice: "Under my guidance, you don't have to worry about being too seriously transformed into a slug, and I won't cut corners like Toad Pill and White Snake."

Even though the contract had just been signed, Menma gave it a completely different feeling from ordinary humans.

Be prudent and self-aware, knowing what to do and what not to do, what to do and what not to do.

Although learning magic will become more difficult, the advantage is that the body will not undergo major changes.

But Menma shook his head: "Since I have signed a contract with you, of course I will not doubt you again."

This time the snake was completely wiped out.

"What do you mean?"

Menma did not respond to its doubts, but looked at the stone slug statues.

"These must be the humans who have failed to practice immortality in the past thousand years."

"...Yes, although I have tried my best to look after them, there are still contractors who are greedy for success and do not listen to dissuasion."

There are less than ten of them, which looks much fewer than the rows of toad statues on Mt. Miaomu.

Unable to control the balance of natural energy in the body, it is assimilated by the natural energy flowing into the body.

This is not the manipulation of the three holy places, but the nature of the natural energy itself.

Menma frowned and asked, "Slug, besides your three holy places, are there any other places that have the inheritance of immortal arts?"

The living creature couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.

After thinking for a long time, he responded: "Thousands of years ago, there was indeed a magic system that did not belong to the three holy places. There were also humans with strong affinity for natural energy. However, as time has passed, I have not heard of it for hundreds of years. pass."

if not

"...It's happened before, that's it."

Menma's eyes became dark and inexplicable.

He has already obtained the immortal arts training system of Longdi Cave and Miaomu Mountain.

I haven’t chosen to practice cultivation for a long time because I know there are pitfalls in it.

The magical system of the three holy places may be suitable for frogs, snakes, and slugs, but it is likely to conflict with the human body structure.

The body structure of frogs, snakes, and slugs is completely different from that of humans.

In order to ensure that one can learn magic, corresponding biological characteristics will be generated.

"Slug transformation", "frog transformation" and "snake transformation" are all about the assimilation of body structure.

Despite this, mortality and failure rates remain extremely high.

This shows that the immortal arts system of the three holy places is not suitable for the human body system.

However, in this dark road, we have to find a magical system suitable for humans...

I'm afraid it won't be possible within a few decades.

After all, the human body structure is more complex and richer than that of frogs, snakes, and slugs. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

After hesitating for a moment, Menma suddenly asked: "Libby, if you were given a choice, which place do you think is most likely to retain the inheritance of immortal magic belonging to humans?"

The living dragon has existed for thousands of years and is a living history book.

If even Menma, the "outsider", doesn't know, then only these living fossils may know.

After all, this is a completely real world.

Even if the original protagonist Naruto dies, even if he Uzumaki Menma dies, the world will still go on as usual.

"If you have to choose..."

The slug's antennae drooped down, as if it was lowering its head and thinking.

After a moment, he said with hesitation in his tone: "Perhaps, the Kingdom of Ghosts is the most likely place where the inheritance of immortal arts can exist."

Hearing this answer, Menma couldn't help but be stunned.

"Is it actually a country of ghosts?"

The major countries in the ninja world are the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Water, the Kingdom of Wind, and the Kingdom of Thunder.

But apart from them, not all small countries will be classified as neutral countries.

For example, the Country of Rain, the Country of Rivers, and the Country of Grass... Although these countries are small countries, they are still in danger of being destroyed by big countries.

Only small countries with very remote locations and special significance, such as the Country of Snow, the Country of Iron, and the Country of Tang, can become neutral countries.

The Kingdom of Ghosts is also a member of the Neutral Country, and it is an extremely special existence.

Its governance model is different from most countries in the ninja world.

Oni no Kuni is a country without daimyo rule.

The supreme ruler is not a daimyo, but a being named "Miko", who can be regarded as an outlier in the ninja world.

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.

Menma had also considered this mysterious country when choosing Akatsuki's residence.

However, the miko's ability to predict the future is too mysterious.

Menma even suspected that the nature of precognition was "substitute death".

Moreover, the Kingdom of Ghosts also seals the monster "Sprite". The ghost and the witch have a symbiotic relationship, and it is not as easy to deal with as the Box of Bliss.

That's why Menma finally chose the country of Yuki no Yuki as his base.

"I actually don't know much about the Kingdom of Ghosts, but I know a little bit about the ruler of the Kingdom of Ghosts, the Miko."

The living beetle explained: "Like Gamamaru, they have the mysterious power to predict the future, and they also have the responsibility and mission of guarding and sealing demons."

"Sealing demons is one of the reasons why the Kingdom of Demons became a neutral country, and the ability of witches to predict the future is also widely spread in the Kingdom of Demons and surrounding countries. Just ask the nobles and commoners of the Kingdom of Demons, and they will tell the inquirer, The witch’s ability to predict the future is 100% accurate, and she has not made a single mistake so far.”

"Perhaps for other people, this is just a talk after dinner. There is no unified generalization about whether it is true or false, but I know very well that witches do have this ability."

"The most important thing is that they still retain the ancient sealing technique, and judging from the way it is performed, it does not originate from the "Nine-Character Body Protection Technique" of the Ninja Sect, so I think the miko may still retain the inheritance of celestial magic. "

The shrine maiden of the land of ghosts...

Still retain the ancient sealing technique?

Menma also felt curious after hearing this.

The "Nine-Character Body Protection Technique" is the "seal" that ninjas need to perform ninjutsu today.

This method originated from the "Ninja Sect" founded by the Sage of Six Paths. It was originally intended to make it easier for ordinary people to condense chakra and mobilize chakra to use ninjutsu for production activities.

Most of the knowledge and theories of sealing techniques in the ninja world today originate from the Uzumaki clan.

If it is true, as Huo Li said, that the witch is not using the "Nine-Character Body Protection Technique", then it can only be an older method of casting spells.

That is the ancient period when Otsutsuki Kaguya ruled.

Thinking of this, Menma couldn't help but narrow his eyes, the light flickering.

The existence of natural energy and senjutsu is a force native to the ninja world, and most people today have never heard of it.

Even among the ninja community, only a very small number of people know about natural energy.

Even the Six Paths Immortal learned magic from the Great Toad Immortal.

Finally, with the blessing of celestial magic, he successfully sealed his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Thinking about it this way, the only place where the inheritance of immortal magic could exist is such an ancient ghost country.

"Miko from the Kingdom of Ghosts? I understand."

A smile appeared on Menma's face: "I will visit her when I get back."

"But, having said that, does that miko have any taboos?"

"taboo?"

Huo Li thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this. I only know that she has the ability to see into the future, and that she can predict life and death with perfect accuracy."

"...This ability is indeed a problem."

Menma touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "The ability to see into the future. I wonder if I can see my future. I really want to see it."

Dragon Veins, the Great Toad Sage, Uchiha Izumi’s Mangekyō Sharingan, and the unknown alien Otsutsuki...

Now there is another miko from the land of ghosts.

Anything involving time is undoubtedly very powerful and mysterious, and can easily involve the so-called "destiny".

Just like he hates that old toad who pretends to be crazy and acts stupid, Menma has always disliked these inexplicable things.

There was a hint of curiosity in the gentle voice of the living creature as she asked, "Lord Menma, aren't you worried that your future will be a tragedy?"



Although it was the first time I saw him, it was not difficult to guess that Menma was the one Gamamaru mentioned, the son of destruction who would bring despair to the ninja world in the future.

Bringing despair to the entire ninja world means confronting the ninja world.

From the perspective of the living dragon, it is absolutely impossible to do it alone, and Menma's future is destined to failure and death.

"Awesome, human beings are such existences full of infinite possibilities..."

Menma rubbed Xiao Xianglan's head: "Everyone is fighting constantly to know the correct way to survive."

"What is superior? Why fight? How to survive?"

"No one can tell us the answer, we can only run aimlessly."

"Until you find your purpose."

"You know you can't do something but do it. If you succeed, you are brave. If you fail, you are extremely stupid. We have a strong ear."
