I was standing on a lotus leaf, and the red lotus flowers were blooming bewitchingly beside me. The faint floral fragrance made me a little dizzy, and under the clear water, a huge white body was twisting in the lotus pond.

Suddenly, the water splashed・・・・・・ and I saw the white snake rising into the sky, and my face was impressive・・・・・・・・・・

"It's a dream again. Holding the arm that was open on his forehead, Yagami thought helplessly. This strange dream haunted him for a long time, faintly unsettling Yagamiki.

Yagamiki looked out the window, and the sky was already slightly lit up, but the sun hadn't risen yet. It's not too early, he's going to start eating and starting a new practice.

Yagami put his kimono on his body, and suddenly he felt a hint of discomfort, and his clothes seemed to become smaller. On a bed next to Yagamiki's bed, Shirahoshi heard the sound of Yagamiki getting out of bed and opened her eyes in a daze to look at Yagamiki.

Yagamiki's face was misty in the early morning light, but Shirahoshi was still getting to see clearly.

"Xiaoqi, your face!" shouted Shirahoshi with wide eyes.

'My face?' Yagamiki, who vaguely felt that something was wrong, reached out and touched his face, and the right side of his face was still the same touch, but when Yagamiki's fingertips moved to the left, he felt a cold, hard touch...

He used his ability to condense a water mirror in mid-air, and then ・・・・・

"Ahh

The originally delicate face was now mostly eroded by white scales, and the scarlet snake pupil surrounded by white scales on the left side of the face stared coldly at Yagami Qi in the water mirror

'Why, why is my face like this!' Yagamiki collapsed and squatted on the ground. Shirahoshi ran away from his bed in a panic and hugged Yagamiki at once.

Her hand slowly patted Yagamiki's back.

"It's okay," she repeated softly.

Yagamiki's heart gradually settled down.

"I'm fine, Shirahoshi. Let me go. In Shirahoshi's arms, Yagamiki whispered.

"Ah, it's okay. With a red face, Shirahoshi suddenly let go of Yagamiki and slapped his chest.

"Xiaoqi, your face?" frowned, and Shirahoshi asked worriedly,

"It shouldn't be a big deal, but the cultivation of the immortal mode shouldn't be able to continue. Reluctantly pulling out a smile, Yagamiki said.

Yagamiki, who calmed down, probably guessed the reason why he became like this. If I'm not mistaken, the reason why he became like this is because of the curse seal.

Those weird dreams started when they were cursed.

Yagami underestimated the impact of the curse mark on himself, so he caused the current result.

Unlike others, Yagami is not strictly within the realm of human beings. He is the experimental product of the Great Snake Pill, which is a blend of the genes of the White-scaled Snake, the genes of the Great Snake Pill, and the genes of Shen.

This kind of experiment would not have been successful, and the end result would probably have turned into a mess of rotten meat. But Yagamiki's crossing infused the body with a soul, and he made the experiment produce a miraculous body.

This is also the reason why Orochimaru was unable to create the same experimental product as Yagami Qi after almost following the same steps and genetic selection in the future. Yagami was originally the product of an accident.

Because his genetic composition originally had the genes of the white phosphorus snake with strong erosion, Yagami Qi, who was preparing for a rainy day, specialized in the art of Oni Mei Luo, which was also related to genes.

The genes in Yakamiki's body maintain a delicate balance, and Yagamiki benefits a lot from this balance. The flexibility of the body, which is not matched by ordinary people, the strong muscle strength that is not matched by the development of the body, the keen senses, the huge and rapidly growing amount of chakra, and so on, ・・・・・.

What breaks this precious balance is the spell seal of Orochimaru's life force and chakra. The spell mark planted by Orochimaru, who transformed himself into a white phosphorus serpent, strengthened the white-scaled serpent genes in Yakamiki's body.

As a result, the cells, which were already full of corrosive properties, began to erode Yagamiki's body. If you go on like this, the best result will be... It will be completely transformed into a white phosphorus snake with pure blood. The worst outcome is that Yagamiki, who is not fully transformed, will turn into a half-human, half-snake monster.

Neither of these two results is acceptable to Yagamiki.

Originally, the transformation of the spell mark would not be so fast, so Yagamiki may have gradually realized that he would find an opportunity to remove the spell mark and repair the damaged balance.

However, the balance was too badly disrupted. Now, even if the curse mark is removed, it is impossible for Yagamiki to repair it. And the reason for all this... is the immortal mode that Yagami has dreamed of.

"Oh, that's ironic. ”

The incomplete immortal mode already has the ability to snake people, and for others, this snakeization is temporary, and the immortal chakra will naturally disappear after it retreats.

However, for Yagamiki, the product of the experiment, this temporary serpentine is the nourishment that feeds the genes of the white-scaled giant snake in the body.

It seems that the cultivation of the art of immortals cannot be continued. The most important thing for Yagamiki right now is to stop this fateful transformation.

Otherwise, it would only be like Orochimaru to use the reincarnation technique to take other people's bodies. Survive by using other people's bodies as containers for your soul.

Moreover, if that kind of thing happens as soon as possible, Yagamiki can feel that not only is his body gradually eroding, but his own spirit is also being impacted by a new hazy will. That consciousness was incomparably weak, but it was full of crazy killing intent.

However, all of this was not without benefits, Yagamiki could feel that although he had not entered the immortal mode, he was able to use his natural energy to amplify his ninjutsu.

It's not because of the curse mark, Yagami can feel it. If the amount of the sigil is 1, then the amount he can use is 5.

'Anyway, staying in the house and feeling sorry for yourself all the time won't lead to anything'

It wasn't until noon that Yagamiki lifted his head buried in his arm. He turned his head to look at Shirahoshi, who had been by his side all along, and smiled. Although the left side of the face was even more terrifying because of this smile, Shirahoshi, who had been worried about Yagamiki, also smiled with this smile.

"Let's go, Shirahoshi, it's time for us to get out of here. Yagami said and left the room. Now his clothes are obviously slightly smaller, and when he calms down, Yagami Qi realizes that this change has also improved his height, and now he has a body of about fourteen years old.

The house is surrounded by a lush forest, and the all-wooden house was made by Yagami Qi out of wood. Yagami built the house on the edge of Shigego Village, where he had planned to stay for a while and practice the art of immortals.

"That Xiaoqi, where are we going?"

"Let's go have lunch first. You didn't eat in the morning, you're hungry. ”

"What about after lunch?"

"Set off for the Land of Fire"

"Fire Country?"

"Well, I'm going to find a few people there, maybe they can solve my physical problems."
