A month later.

Hokage's office.

Luckily, the Hokage's office was big enough that even a lot of people could stand underneath.

Looking at the young generation of Konoha standing below, and their leading teacher.

"You set off today to mobilize to the Land of Rain to take the Zhongnin exam, as elders, I hope you don't put your ranking first, as long as each of you can come back safely, it's enough!

Remember, what a great ranking you get compared to becoming a middle ninja, what I hope most is that you can return safely. ”

Ape Fei Ri looked at this immature face, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.

The casualty rate of the middle ninja exam is still relatively large, but these are all things they need to face after becoming ninjas.

Everyone is a seedling of Konoha, and if there is no one, the ape will be reluctant to fly to the sun.

This time, in addition to the class of the Sheren, there are also the classes of Shuimen and Jiu Xinnai, and the remaining two are people who have not seen much of the six Sheren.

Later, I learned that these people were from the previous session, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Originally, it was supposed to be Tsunade who led the team this time, but Tsunade locked himself in the room during this time because of hemophobia, so the task of leading the team became Nara Shikako.

There are also Orochimaru and Hachiki Shuo Shigeru in the Land of Rain, and the people who take the Shinobi exam don't have to worry about their own safety.

Except for the normal death within the allowable range of the middle ninja exam, as long as they are injured a little, I believe that the deterrent power of Orochimaru and Hachiki Shuomao is still quite outstanding.

After ape Fei Ri slash talked about some chicken soup for the soul and some big truths, he dismissed everyone.

"Deer heart, give up people, you two stay for a while."

Nara Shikashin stood a little lazily in place, and the expression of the Sato was slightly stiff, and he stood straight in place.

The strange appearance of the Sheren also attracted the attention of Nara Luxin, and he stared at the Sheren carefully for a long time before showing an expression of surprise or even amazement.

After everyone left, Yuan Feirizha took out his pipe and lit it, and took a beautiful puff.

Looking at the motionless and slightly stiff Sheren, his eyes were amazed and mixed with a little helplessness.

"Almost, right? Are you going to use this state to take the middle ninja exam? ”

Click, click, click

Hearing the sound of the ape flying and slashing, the body of the "Sheren" actually made a "click" sound of the gears turning, and then, a slender blue snake came out of his mouth, and it was not until the snake opened its mouth that the real Sheren appeared in front of the two.

With a sneer on his face, Sheren scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Uh-he-he-mainly because it was just made up last night, and some of them are not used to it, I believe that if you try for a few more days, you should be able to be no different from a normal 'person'." ”

The surprise on Nara's face did not subside because of the appearance of the Sheren, but became even worse.

"It's... Puppet? Plus... Shadow clone? Nara Luxin was a little unsure, "If it weren't for the reminder of the three generations of adults, just standing there so quietly, I really wouldn't have seen it all of a sudden, there is such a real puppet?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey—"

She rubbed her nose and looked a little satisfied.

Sarutobi glanced at Nara Luxin, and said a little helplessly:

"I'm afraid it's not just that, a puppet of special materials, imitating a human body, a psychic beast that is not weak, plus its own shadow clone.

Combining psychic beasts with transformation techniques, shadow clone techniques, and puppet techniques, and even adding a certain amount of medical ninjutsu and secret arts.

Good guy, you're a really good learner, and you really let you integrate these things into such a ......."

"Shadow Change: Subtle and Practical Invincible Entity Puppet!"

She immediately answered.

Nara Shikako: "......"

When Ape Fei Ri heard this name, his expression was slightly embarrassed: "Ahem, it's referred to as an entity puppet." ”

The two eyes stared at the eyes of the ape Fei Ri, and in the end, Sheren was defeated.

Entity puppets are entity puppets.

The name is not important, the role is important.

As a doctor of the ninja world, Ape Fei Ri has no eye to say.

This entity puppet. It was the inspiration he got from the later Red Sand Scorpion and the 'Puppet Book' that he abandoned, plus some of his own magic changes, that barely met his requirements.

The role is to specifically needle this time to cover the entire ninja world in the ninja exam.

The puppet structure made of special materials is not to be said to be sturdy, and then the shadow clone is used to gather the partner transformation technique used by Xiaolan to build the appearance of the entire puppet, which is not much different from the ordinary human body, and then hides itself inside the puppet, transports chakra, and releases ninjutsu.

It's a pity that there is no information about human puppets in the 'Book of Puppets', and the use of human puppets in Konoha is too shocking, and they may be arrested as aliens by Ape Fei Ri.

Otherwise, if the structure of this puppet is a human puppet, the effect is definitely better.

But it doesn't matter if there is no puppet, the limbs of this puppet that appear to be made of special metal are all full of active human cells.

Human cloning and conducting live experiments may not work, but just the use of cells, she thinks there should be no problem.

Otherwise, with the simple mechanical structure, the puppet he figured out in just one month would really not be very good in combat effectiveness, and the materials that could only be used were a little more advanced, a little stronger, and it looked like a person, and he couldn't use ninjutsu, and his physical skills might be the limit.

Moreover, self-detonation devices are installed in various parts of this puppet, and the people hidden in the puppet can control the detonation at any time.

It's a bit like the appearance of the Red Sand Scorpion hiding in the Scarlet Amber after joining Xiao, and it's also a bit similar to Orochimaru's snake body molting.

"You want to use this to take the Zhongnin exam?"

After listening to the explanation of the ape flying sun, Nara Luxin finally understood that Sheren had made a vivid thing.

Sheren nodded calmly:

"That's right, I'm a human pillar force, Konoha human pillar force, I shouldn't have participated in the middle ninja exam in other villages, and in such a dangerous environment now, if I am really exposed or even killed, this is not just a loss for one or two people, this is a loss for the entire Konoha."

Looking at the person who looked like I was thinking about you, Nara Shikashin was a little speechless for a while.

However, Ape Fei Ri heard the worries of the people.

"This time the middle ninja exam is set in the country of rain, with Shuo Mao and your teacher Orochimaru in charge, the leader of the rain hidden village, Sanshoyu Hanzo, is our ally, plus I have written to Jiraiya, so that he can also pay attention to the situation of the middle ninja exam, from the perspective of security, it is foolproof.

That's why I agreed to let you and Kushina participate.

To put it bluntly, during the Zhongnin exam, Konoha's strength and combat effectiveness in the Land of Rain were not inferior to Konoha Headquarters! ”

That's right, the current rain country is like half a Konoha anymore.

"That's... Three generations of adults, can I not participate? I don't want to be a shinobi anymore, so let me be a shinobi! ”

Three black lines appeared on the ape's forehead.

"Gotta give me a part! I don't care if you use your own ability or this puppet, in short, you must get me a ranking back! I can break my wrist with the upper ninja, and what are you afraid of the middle ninja exam!

Think Tsunade! Avenge her and come back! ”

Shito left the Hokage's office with a sad face.

Why do others just come back alive, but they have to fight for rankings?

I am full of yearning for life, but life is far away for me!

...

...

Three days later.

Konoha and his party managed to reach the Land of Rain.

Arriving in this rainy country again reminded the Sheren of some not-so-good memories.

Now he is not hiding in a puppet, after all, it is better not to disguise himself when he gets along with his friends, otherwise familiar people, like Watergate and Jiu Sinai, can be seen at a glance.

The leader of this trip was Nara Shikoro, the Hokage's military advisor, and he was accompanied by a sashino like Kime Gongdao.

"Eh, Sheren, look at you playing all the way, when did you have the thunder attribute chakra?"

Watergate and Kushina know nothing more about the chakra attributes of the Sheren.

Obviously, he only has three attributes: fire, earth, and water, but he has been playing with thunder and lightning in his hands along the way.

Undoubtedly, these are no ordinary thunderbolts, as they are constantly changing shape in the hands of the sheren, which is characteristic of the change of chakra form.

Hearing this, Sheren squeezed his fist, and the thunder and lightning turned invisible in his hand, and he saw a smile on his face.

"It's nothing, it's just that the chakra of the thunder attribute suddenly awakened, it's too weak compared to other chakra attributes, so I've been exercising to see if I can improve."

Although he said so, Watergate also roughly guessed something, probably related to the last mission.

Kushina This is the first time she has left the Fire Country to carry out a mission after going to Konoha, Nara Shikashin took their team to start with the simplest D-class mission, and after completing the D-class mission, it is the C-level mission, and she has only recently come into contact with the B-class mission.

It can be said that this is definitely the most stable way to receive tasks after becoming a ninja.,People like Tsunade who come up to B-class missions are definitely outliers among the outliers.。

Therefore, in terms of the number of tasks alone, Jiu Sinai threw off more than a dozen streets.

This was her first time in the Land of Rain, and there was inevitably a little curiosity in her eyes when she looked around.

Not long after entering the Land of Rain, Konoha ninjas soon took them to Konoha's base in Rain Hidden Village.

The two bigwigs, Sakumo Hagi and Orochimaru, were waiting for them.

"Shuomao, Orochimaru." Nara Shikashin greeted the two with a smile.

In terms of strength, whether it is Hagi Sakumo or Orochimaru, they are several streets away from Nara Shikashin, but in terms of status, the three of them are actually not much different, and Hachiki Sakumo, who may also be the head of the dark department, is slightly half a level higher.

But they are all old acquaintances, so they don't need to care about these details.

"Haha-Luxin, you're finally here, a little slower than you imagined, except for Wuyin Village, who is not sure if someone will be sent here, the rest of the people in Yuyin Village have already arrived." Qimu Shuomao said with a smile.

"Oh? Has Yunyin Village also arrived? It seems that they are quite anxious. ”

The robbery of Jiu Sinai last time put the Yunyin Village represented by Tutai in a very disadvantageous position, although the alliance was signed in the end, but how much concession Yunyin Village made, only Nara Luxin, who participated in the meeting, knew.

"Since you are here this time, then presumably the intelligence of Yunyin Village and some people with good strength in the Zhongnin Exam have all done the investigation, so it is better for you to tell the story."

For this kind of thing of bringing down the shinobi, Sakumo Hagi thinks that he must not be as good as Nara Shikashin.

As for Orochimaru...

Forget it, after this group of shinobi arrived, they didn't see him move.

Nara Shikashin smiled helplessly, he knew that this was the result, although it was troublesome, but after all, they were all from Konoha and the younger generation that Sarutobi valued.

"Some of you may or may not have been to the Rain Hidden Village in the Land of Rain, but no matter what, the current Land of Rain is completely different.

The people from the three major hidden villages of Shayin Village, Yanyin Village, and Yunyin Village have already arrived, and there are also some hidden villages in small countries, such as Caoyin Village, Takiyin Village, etc., including Yuyin Village itself, all of which have participated in the middle ninja exam, so during this time, don't leave the Konoha base of Yuyin Village unless you have anything special.

Even if you go out and meet other ninjas in the hidden village, try not to get into trouble, there are still three days before the middle ninja exam starts, I suggest that you can take advantage of these three days to work hard to adjust your state. ”

With a sigh of relief, he continued:

"Let me talk about the rules of this Zhongnin exam, which is divided into three rounds...."

After a lot of crackling words, "The next thing is to tell you some information about other hidden villages, what we know, and the lower ninjas."

Of course, this information is not 100% accurate, and it is up to you to judge for yourself..."

In short, I talked about a lot of things, but no one dared not listen to them, and I guess I took out all the energy I had when I was in school.

This information, in the future Zhongnin exam, can sometimes be life-saving.

Finally, when the ninja of Konoha settled everyone to rest, Orochimaru, who had been squinting his eyes and had no expression, stood up, "Sheren, come with me." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the conference room directly, and the people obediently followed Orochimaru and left the conference room together.

There was no communication along the way.

The two of them came to Orochimaru's laboratory here.

Compared to Konoha's laboratory, it's much smaller.

But when she walked into the laboratory, she was startled by what she saw inside.

A very large mass, something that looked like a vine and a branch, was tightly clumped together and placed in the middle of the laboratory.

"It's... This is... This is..."

Slowly walked to the front of this group that was taller than the others, and I don't know what kind of vegetation it was.

There were only a few leaves hanging here and there, but the clump of plants was growing so vigorously that even if you looked closely, you could see that at the ends of its branches, it continued to grow, writhing little by little, and moving so slowly that if you didn't look closely, you might not have noticed.

Look towards the root of this vine-like thing.

Immediately afterward, the pupils contracted suddenly.

It's a little white rabbit.

And... This rabbit... Still alive!

"How? This is Mu Dun. ”

Orochimaru walked up to Sheren and said softly in Sheren's ear with his tongue out.

Feeling Orochimaru's voice, the body stiffened.

Sure enough, but how many times have I experienced it, Sheren has always been unable to accept the sliminess of the Great Snake Pill.

"Mu Dun? The wooden escape between the Thousand Hands Pillar of the original Hokage-sama? ”

Orochimaru smiled and nodded, even if he narrowed his eyes, he didn't withdraw his tongue.

This kind of expression will only be revealed when Orochimaru is extremely interested.

Sure enough, Shimura Danzou had already given the cells between the Thousand Hands Pillar to Orochimaru, and the only thing to be thankful for was that Orochimaru had not yet started human experiments and was still in the animal stage.

The vine grows on the back of a little white rabbit, and its roots are deeply rooted in its body, absorbing its nutrients.

"To be precise, it is something that grows by harmonizing the earth attribute chakra and the water attribute chakra through the first generation of target cells.

Can you imagine? Just a cell!

A primary target cell with weak activity actually grew such a large plant.

This is still a situation of insufficient energy supply, this life force...... ..... the first generation actually died? ”

"Sensei, the cells of the first Hokage... If you study it, it will be used by three generations of adults..."

Sheren looked at Orochimaru, whose eyes were full of excitement, and said.

Although it is a bit of a disappointment to say this, it should be mentioned as a mouthful.

Orochimaru's expression didn't change in the slightest, "The old man won't say it, do you think... Where did I get these things? ”

Hearing this, he was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

A slightly mocking smile gradually appeared on Orochimaru's face.

"Tuanzang, this old guy, he thought that the cells of the first generation had been moved, and the old man would not be able to see it? Everyone knows it..."

"Three generations of adults... Did you acquiesce to this? ”

"Some things, don't take it for granted, the first person to start studying the first generation of eye cells is none other than his own family, the Senju family of the forest.

Don't you think it's weird?

A huge thousand-handed clan, but only the thousand-handed pillars awakened Mu Dun, even if he is not inferior to him in talent, and even the second-generation Thousand Hands Clan, who has higher attainments in technique, has also failed to awaken Mu Dun as a brother.

The Thousand Hands have been studying the first generation of target cells for a long time, do you think... Where did Shimura get the first target cells? ”

Orochimaru licked his lips, and the words were expressed in his magnetic voice, which still felt more or less full of conspiracy.

"By the way, teacher, legend has it that our Konoha was once founded by two powerful families, namely the Senju clan of the Mori and the Uchiha clan, but why haven't I seen anyone from the Senju clan in Konoha?

Even if it's Tsunade-sama, she doesn't use the surname Senju. ”

Hearing this question, Orochimaru didn't answer, but just gave him an expression of his own understanding.

He walked up to the vine by himself, gently plucked an ordinary-looking branch from it, and inserted it into the flower bed that had been prepared next to it.

A miraculous scene happened, the newly plucked branches, after being inserted into the soil, actually quickly pulled out the roots, and the original growth momentum did not stop, but became more rapid.

It's just that after a long period of growth, it quickly withers, slowly turns into dead branches, and finally even turns into powder.

"See? After leaving the supply of chakra and leaving the source, what greeted him was only a period of seemingly ferocious surge, which finally turned into dust. ”

Immediately after, Orochimaru injected a small stream of chakra into the rabbit on the ground.

I saw that the little white rabbit, which was originally quite comfortable, struggled frantically, and in less than a second, from the inside out, the spikes of wood, like a thorn ball, directly strung it with holes all over its body.

The sher's eyes widened.

Isn't this the same situation as the "Wood Escape-Cuttings"?

"As long as the balance of the ratio of water attribute and earth attribute chakra in its body is slightly disrupted, the original target cell will go berserk and can kill a person almost instantly.

Therefore, our next research direction is how to suppress the possibility of the rampaging of primary eye cells and increase stability. ”

Orochimaru demonstrated this to Sheren to let him know more about their next research direction.

The cells between the first Hokage Thousand Hands Pillar are not simple things, and any one of them may bring unexpected consequences.

Sheren was silent for a moment.

To be honest, it would be impossible to say that he was not interested in the cells between the Thousand Hands Pillar.

This is before the appearance of the reincarnation eye, known as the strongest blood inheritance limit, even if it is the reincarnation eye, it depends on who uses the reincarnation eye.

If he could follow Orochimaru to thoroughly study the cells between the Thousand Hand Pillars, it would definitely be of great benefit to any cell experiments he had in the future

However, the cells between the Thousand Hand Pillars are too stable, or for non-real Mu Dun users, the stability is too weak to be used like the cells he uses with the ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village, otherwise it is much simpler.

"Orochimaru-sensei, can't you transplant the original target cells into the animal's body, let it slowly assimilate, and replace its own chakra little by little?"

Orochimaru glanced at the Sheren, who was gradually becoming interested, and revealed his signature smile that looked a little evil, and said with a little deep meaning:

"Sure enough, it's the same as I thought, Sheren-kun, in fact, we are the same kind of people."

Hearing this, Sheren's expression stiffened slightly.

Big brother, you don't want to think about what kind of personality you are, working with you, if you don't act like you, I guess I will be lying on your experimental bench soon.

But... After staying for a long time, Sheren is indeed more interested in some things.

For example, the cells between the Thousand Hands Pillar this time, he was very interested.

Orochimaru motioned for the priest to look towards the cabinet next to him.

I saw that it was all like wood, and it looked like some other plant twisted together.

"It's useless, even if it's just the most ordinary primordial eye cell, its phagoagotic assimilation ability is too strong, even if there are more ordinary cells, in front of it, it will be devoured sooner or later.

Therefore, if no method of suppression is studied, the first generation of target cells will be useless. ”

Sheren nodded silently.

However, in the future, anyone who transplants the cells between the Thousand Hands Pillar will only become a tree as long as they do not find a way to suppress their terrifying devouring effect.

It's like the right hand of Danzo who has lost the suppression of the writing wheel.

Writing Wheel Eye...

Thinking of this, the Sheren had a certain conjecture about how to suppress the cells between the Thousand Hands Pillar, but this needs to be verified by sufficient theories and experiments.

And if you rashly talk about this with Orochimaru, it is estimated that you can't explain it clearly.

Then it's better to let him study it according to the original historical trajectory first.

The sheren, who consciously changed into a white coat, gradually reacted.

"That's not right, Orochimaru-sensei, I'm here to take the middle ninja exam, and it's going to start in three days, shouldn't you take advantage of this time to teach your only student at the moment?"

The reacting Sheren hurriedly asked.

I was forced to rush to the Land of Rain, because I was going to take the middle ninja exam, not to give Orochimaru a hand.

"Nakashinobi exam? Is that thing difficult for you right now?

If you take out the state you were in when you fought against Shayin that day, you can cut down all the shinobi present. Orochimaru said lightly, without raising his head.

"But... There are also ninjas from Yunyin Village among the participants this time, if they know that I am a two-tailed human pillar force, won't they directly tear their faces with Konoha?

And the participants are all the lower ninjas of the major hidden villages, so killing will cause their dissatisfaction, right? ”

Orochimaru stopped what he was doing.

"Sometimes it's smart, and sometimes it's hard to see through something?"

After a slight pause, and after seeing that Sheren had become a little embarrassed, he continued:

"Why did Yunyin Village accept the invitation of Yanyin Village to participate in this Zhongnin exam, don't you understand?

Also, don't take this middle ninja exam with the mentality of keeping your hands, and don't shy away from saying that this middle ninja exam is the epitome of the ninja world pattern, so, all the opponents you meet, as long as it's not Konoha's, never be disabled if you can be killed, and don't keep your hands if you can be disabled.

One word, kill! Kill the confidence of Konoha!

Otherwise, the old man asked both of you to come to the competition, do you think you are here to have fun? ”
