Chapter 34: The Serpent Longing for Eternal Life

In the end, Sean and the others still traveled lightly.

Looking at the scroll tied to his hand, Sean once again sensed that the career development of ninja was in the wrong direction.

Ninjas have been trained since childhood, and the so-called all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, ninjas also have three reverses of physical illusion.

Body, as the name suggests, is to boil one's own body, and combined with the strength of the chakra exercise, so that the ninja has a physical strength far beyond ordinary people.

To put it simply, the endurance is better than yours, the hardness is far beyond ordinary people, and it lasts for a long time.

Shu, that is, ninjutsu. Divided into S, A, B, C, and D categories, most of the ninja school students can come into contact with low-level ninjutsu, such as the three-body jutsu and other ninjutsu that are not worth showing off. Just as mathematics is the foundation of all subjects, learning numbers and simple formulas is an essential element for advanced subjects. Therefore, basic ninjutsu is also ninjutsu, for Sean who does not have chakra, no matter how high-end ninjutsu is, it is also a graceful beauty on the cover, just look at it, you can't have it.

Phantom, refers to illusion, and to be strictly speaking, it is also part of ninjutsu. Illusion is an attempt to attack an enemy's five senses (five senses) and cause them to hallucinate. Clever illusion users can even manipulate the chakra flow in the enemy's cranial nerves at will, and it is a combat style that requires extremely high intelligence and combat literacy.

However, as far as Sean knows, none of them know how to use illusion at all, so the development of a combat style with illusion as the core or auxiliary can be ruled out.

If Sean wants to be assigned, he only has the aspect of physical skills, and he is still a physical ninja who relies only on his body.

Leaving Konoha Village for the third time, Sean felt that the environment in this world was really amazing.

The big trees that can be seen everywhere are like mountains one by one. Stepping on the branches, lightly borrowing force, and then jumping forward with a big step, relying on these big trees, the speed of several people is very impressive. In less than half a day, they have arrived at the border of the Fire Nation.

"Yuta is vigilant around, Azuki finds a hidden place, and Daji is in charge of handling the food."

Looking at the border of the Fire Country, Orochimaru made arrangements with everyone's current state intimately. Rushing all the time is nothing to Sean, after all, he has a very high say in the matter of running for his life.

But look at Akido Daiki and the flushed red bean who stuck out their tongues to dissipate heat, the two of them have lost the excitement they had when they first left Konoha, and it is no wonder that Orochimaru did not give them time to rest along the way, and almost all of them were hurrying as fast as they could.

For two students who have just graduated from ninja school, it is a test of body and mind.

Therefore, assigning the corresponding tasks according to the individual's state shows that Orochimaru's experience is extremely rich.

Akido Daiki and Mitarai Red Beans are indispensable for this assignment, to be honest, if Orochimaru hadn't expressed his position in advance, as long as they couldn't keep up halfway or took the initiative to stop and rest, they would have given up this task.

Finally, there was a mission to leave Konoha, and it was still a B-level mission, even if he bit his lip, he was unwilling to give up.

In the end, several people successfully completed the first stage of the goal.

Autumn Dao Daji and Azumi dragged their tired legs to complete their respective tasks, and although Orochimaru didn't say anything, he was not satisfied with the physical strength of several people.

I think back then, when he was so old, he wouldn't be tired of traveling for a day and a night.

"It's really not as good as the generation, it seems that the old man is getting more and more benevolent the older he gets." Orochimaru sighed.

However, it was Sean who caught his eye.

Compared with the embarrassment of Daji and Hongdou, Sean has nothing to say except for a little sweat on his forehead.

Just as Orochimaru looked at Sean with relieved eyes, in the next second, Orochimaru felt that his heart was about to be blocked.

"What are you doing?" Orochimaru asked.

"Warm up, ahhh Sean pointed to the heights, and he was about to climb up.

"No, I mean, why don't you let the chakra concentrate on the soles of your feet and go straight up." Orochimaru was afraid that Sean would misunderstand the meaning, so he simply demonstrated it directly.

I saw a thin and uniform layer of chakras appear on the soles of his feet, and his feet stepped on the trunk of the tree, climbing up as if he were walking on the ground.

"I remember, I taught you at the time."

"Well, you did."

Sean nodded, he still remembered that the first time he did the task of cleaning the river, Orochimaru taught the three of them how to concentrate chakra on the soles of their feet in order to be able to walk on the water in order to improve their efficiency.

But...... Although Orochimaru taught him very well, he left after teaching it, and he didn't check whether they had learned it.

Otherwise, he would definitely understand that Sean was really not a bloodstained boundary ninja, he was a ninja who didn't really have Chakra become by going through the back door.

The principle Sean is to understand that in practice he will not.

Rolling his eyes, Sean used his hands and feet together, climbed the tree like this, and said:

"Have you forgotten that I don't have chakra at all."

Orochimaru: ......

Hearing Sean say this, Orochimaru remembered.

Since the defeat of the competition for the fourth Hokage, he has not seen the old man of the third generation. Until that day, the shadows, who were the right-hand men of the three generations, found him and said that the three generations missed him very much and wanted to talk to him.

Orochimaru didn't refuse, although the three generations didn't stand on his side when he competed for the Hokage, after all, the teacher and the student were still there.

Therefore, I followed the shadow to the Hokage Building and met the three generations I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Teacher, it seems that you are in good shape, and you can work for a few more years." Orochimaru is still bland, if he hadn't taught Orochimaru for many years, Sarutobi would definitely think that this guy has an opinion about himself.

Leng Jun Leng Jun, this nickname is not unreasonable.

Ape Feiri smashed a pipe with a mouthful, spit out thick white smoke, and said amiably:

"Orochimaru, my dear disciple, I am proud of you. When Jiraiya ran away from home and Tsunade wasn't in the village, I was glad that you were the only one with me. In order to raise a new generation of saplings, Konoha needs your strength and knowledge. So, here's a special task for you. ”

"I refuse." Orochimaru refused without thinking about it, the third ninja war has only ended for six years, and the major ninja villages are still in the process of recuperation, according to his estimates, it will take at least ten years of development before there will be a large-scale war.

He made a name for himself in the third ninja war, how could he look at a task that only had money in return, he was not short of money, what he lacked was the comprehension of life.

The moment he was born, he was walking on the path of death, and nature gave him many laws, and Orochimaru wanted to challenge the principle of nature - eternal life.

Eternal life is an enormous proposition that involves biology, philosophy, and ethics.

Cells are metabolic processes all the time, dividing and dying and then dividing until a certain number of times is reached, the activity of cells becomes low, and the human body will begin to age, inevitably going towards the process of weakening. Look at your teacher, once known as the world Doctor Ninja Fei Ri, with wrinkles and age spots on his face, no matter how powerful and famous a person is, he can't avoid the erosion of time in the end.

Think about the Thousand Hands Pillar that once established Konoha and is known as the god of ninjas, such a powerful man would already die.

Orochimaru thinks that his current strength is not comparable to that of the first Hokage, but there is a good saying, as long as it is obtained for too long, even the enemy who can't beat it will be boiled to death.

I don't want to be like the ape flying and slashing, slowly growing old, until the oil runs out and the lamp dies. Orochimaru has studied immortality for many years, and this involves two aspects, the body and the mind. In terms of thought, Orochimaru has come to two conclusions, one is to record and save everything he has experienced in a signal way, and when the body is too weak to be usable, he will transfer the extracted thoughts to a healthy body, the same thought is different body, and another kind of rebirth. The other is to use his own mind, store it in a container that will not break, and create a device that can match it and move, as long as it can receive and process information from the outside world, it can be regarded as a kind of immortality.

However, these two ideas, Orochimaru intends to use as insurance, if there is really no better way, in order to survive, he will use it.

But such an immortality is only a conclusion reached after calculation, and whether it can be truly realized, Orochimaru has no bottom in his heart.

In order to explore the clues of eternal life, he began to touch the thread of ethics and study the physiology of different people, in order to find a glimmer of life.

Ape Fei Ri Slash knows this disciple of himself very well, this disciple who he used to be the most optimistic about, and it can be said that the disciple who inherited him the most is not as cold as he seems, but an extremely kind person.

I don't know when Orochimaru became more and more incomprehensible and unfamiliar to Ape Fei Ri Chop.

He knew that Orochimaru did not leave the village but was engaged in some forbidden research, but he didn't want to find it, there were some things hidden, even if he knew it, he didn't have to pick it, and the day he broke it was probably a day when he couldn't make a break.

Sighing in his heart, Ape Fei Ri said toughly: "It's already decided, Mitarai Red Bean is a disciple you booked in advance, and it just so happens that she will graduate this year, so you will be her leading teacher." ”

Orochimaru squinted, he didn't refuse, the old man's tone suddenly became stronger, he understood, this was the old man's last patience.

Nodding, "I see, who are the other two?" ”

"That's right, I know you don't like to be bothered by this kind of thing. OrochimaruDo you know that Konoha is never one person's Konoha but everyone's Konoha, and the inheritance from generation to generation is the secret of Konoha to remain strong over time. Sarutobi Slash's tone softened a lot, and put the list of recorded students in front of Orochimaru, "One is a child of the Autumn Daoist family, his strength is good, he learned the technique of partial multiplication soon after entering school, and he is a potential ninja." ”

"Autumn Daoist?" Orochimaru nodded, although Akimichi, Nara, and Yamanaka have always been families who advance and retreat together, and the children of these three families often act together, and they have a fixed cooperative ninjutsu, but there are exceptions to everything.

For example, when Autumn Road Daiki was in school, he happened to be alone.

That is to say, in the case of a group of three, after the assignment, there will be an additional autumn road base.

Orochimaru had no objection to the choice of Ape Flying Sun, but the last one made him very interested.

Yuta Tomigashi, the adopted son of Asahi Tomigashi, is a ninja who is suspected of (crossing out) the bloodstain boundary, and has been strange since he was a child, but the existence of chakra has not been detected so far.

"Bloodstained Boundaries...... I see, I'll get in touch with them when the time comes. Orochimaru automatically ignored the speculation and explanation behind, and said goodbye to Sarutobi and left.

Looking at the big snake pill who was suddenly preoccupied, Ape Fei Ri's expression froze.

"Don't let me down, my disciple."

————————————————

Although it is now close to the border of the Fire Nation, there is not much danger.

Climbing to the top of the tree, Sean looked at the vast scenery without the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

In fact, he is very conflicted now, and from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't like ninjas, which is not to say that he is prejudiced against ninjas, but that he hates this profession.

If it weren't for Tomigashi's insistence on opening the back door with Ape Feiri, Sean would rather be a rich man who writes books to make money, rather than fight for a future with his life, because ...... It's really useless to endure it.

"Yuta!" Akido Daji shouted, "The food is ready, you can come down and eat." ”
