Chapter 65: The Tree and the Roots
"The roots are not long gone, we have implemented rigorous training and assessment, and the loss rate is very heavy."
Danzang said slowly, "In order to reduce some of the losses, I need your illusion. β
"Five senses control?"
"That's right, let them experience life and death repeatedly, and each time they must have the art of having a real sense of death without causing harm."
Danzou nodded.
"No problem, it's easy."
Akabane agreed, but in his heart, doubts gradually arose - how did Tuan Zang know?
Narakumi's technique fuses the five senses to manipulate, and it is a failure in itself.
There are very few people in the Kurama clan who know about it, let alone outsiders, and only a handful know that Akabane has studied and practiced it.
As soon as he thought about it, a name came to his mind.
"Orochimaru and Danzo cooperated?"
Akabane thought for a moment, and quickly vetoed it again.
At this time, Orochimaru did not have the capital to cooperate with Tuanzang at all, perhaps it was just Tuanzang's investment and small actions.
That's the problem.
Is this "clue" revealed by Tuan Zang intentionally or unintentionally?
This is the reason why he doesn't like to be with Tuan Zang, this old belly is black and full of bad water, and he has to think about everything with him for a long time.
After Akabane was distressed for a while, he simply didn't bother to think about it.
For the time being, there is no need to worry too much about Orochimaru, the first thing now is to complete the group collection.
He followed Tuan Zang into this humble courtyard, and then heard the sound of iron intertwining.
The sound of kunai and shuriken.
When the ninja was only a month, but he immediately heard what a weapon it was.
"Do I need a mask?"
Tuan Zang asked lightly.
"Five senses control, is there a second home in Konoha?"
Akabane shook his head.
What's the use of wearing a mask, it's not to cover your ears and steal the bell.
"Then everyone, assemble."
Danzo walked in with his sword in his hand, followed by Akabane.
There was silence in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, everyone gathered in front of him.
That's the root!
Akabane swept his eyes, and although he couldn't see any clues just by looking at his appearance, he could still see the origin of these people from the subtle differences in dress.
There are two members of the oil girl family, one of the Hyuga family, and one of the huge figures who should be the Autumn Road family.
The rest of the dozen or so, I really can't see it.
"You should all know him, and then he will perform illusions on you."
When Tuan Zang said this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly and he smiled coldly, "The illusion of the Kurama clan, you should understand what it is, you will experience the most feared death in your heart, who can't bear it, you can quit now." β
There was silence, and no one came forward.
Akabane pursed his lips slightly, he didn't know how Tuan Zang was brainwashed, maybe it was the rhetoric of "root", but one thing he knew very well - no harm did not mean that it could not be killed.
"Okay, since no one has withdrawn, then please give up resistance."
He continued.
Akabane stood there, adjusting his state and mobilizing the chakra in his body.
When everyone sat down, he sealed with both hands, and in the blink of an eye, he completed the sealβ
"Narakumi's technique!"
After a chakra fluctuation, everyone stopped moving.
"Teacher, if you use the technique of Narakumi many times, it can be fatal."
Akabane reminded.
Narakumi's technique can illuminate the most fearful things in people's hearts, and those who are not determined to repeat their real fears a thousand times are very likely to die mentally - that is, in a vegetative state.
"I know, but that's the best way to cut the loss."
Danzang was silent for a moment, then said softly, "The root is never bright. β
"Well, teacher, you're right, it makes sense."
Akabane casually perfunctory.
He doesn't quite agree with the concept of Tuanzang, but he is also not interested in the ape flying and slashing, and this is the root, the territory of Tuanzang......
"Oh, little fox......"
Tuan Zang sneered, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
The three generations wanted to take two of the most talented people into the palm of their hands, but they didn't know that neither of them could accept his set.
In the end, it's just a void.
As time passed, the illusion gradually reached its most terrifying stage, and the screams of Dao Dao resounded through the valley.
In a second, two seconds, everyone woke up one after another, all covered in cold sweat.
"Take a break."
Tuan Zang said lightly.
"My lord, we can still ......"
"My order is to rest!"
Danzou repeated harshly.
"Yes."
"Master Xie."
The group sat and gasped one after another.
Akabane was slightly distressed, Tuan Zang had simply studied how to torture people thoroughly.
If they keep using illusions, they will only go numb and collapse after repeating them.
Now it seems that they are allowed to rest, but because of the real pain caused by the manipulation of the five senses, their memories and fears are more profound during the rest, and these fears will deepen the effect of the next use......
For example, now, everyone feels that the pain of death is real.
The eyes they looked at Akabane were a little frightened.
Miserable!
After a sigh of emotion, he cleaned up his mood and pondered how to use the technique to maximize the effect.
Well, after a phantom, then guide.
Akabane thought about it for a moment and made a decision.
So a few minutes later, he used a second illusion, and after a few minutes, everyone woke up......
"Rest."
Tuanzang spat out two words.
Akabane sat down, as if to start chattering: "Many of you are the elite of the elite, you have been on the battlefield and killed people, and death itself is not afraid, I hope you understand what the meaning of the root is." β
A bunch of people looked at it, some listened carefully, and some questioned and secretly mocked.
"Konoha is a big tree, what happens if a big tree has no roots?"
"You can imagine what it would be like if you are the roots, and your family members are the trees or the fruits of the trees and the birds that inhabit them, and when the roots cease to exist and the leaves will be broken......
When Akabane said this, his hands suddenly sealed-Narakumi's technique!
Imagination, extending to another scene.
What they had seen before might have been their own deaths in battle, suicide due to mission failure, or all kinds of fears in their hearts, but this time...... They will see the death of their families.
"No, no!"
"I'll kill you, kill you......"
Panic, anger, sadness, a jumble of voices and emotions emanate from the words.
Danzou was silent for a moment, then laughed out loud.
After a long time, he looked at Akabane and said, "Are you interested in joining the roots?" β
The joining he is talking about, of course, is not to become an ordinary member, but to imply the position of the successor.
However......
"Teacher, I'm not suitable, you look for another master."
Akabane waved his hand repeatedly.
It's okay to fool others with this kind of talk, but you can't load it yourself, is it a place for people to stay?
There are no accidents in Danzang, but it's still a pity.
Then, he smiled dumbly and said, "It's okay, who can say for sure what will happen in the future." β
ββ¦β¦β
Akabane glanced at him, a little surprised in his heart.
Look at what he was moved, could it be that his own words fooled Tuan Zang?
Can't!
He was pondering, his eyes scanning aimlessly, but suddenly noticed that something was wrong with one of them, and immediately said, "Not good! Teacher, wake up the leftmost person in the second row. β
Tuan Zang appeared beside him, patted the other party's head, and used the technique of dissolving the illusion to help him dispel the illusion in an instant.
However, when he awoke, he kept screaming, and his shadow expanded wildly, trying to control everything around him.
"Bang!"
After a slap of the knife, Danzang leaned through his body.
"He's just fallen into the depths of the illusion, it's so dangerous......"
Akabane took a deep breath, a little frightened.
"Smart people always think more."
Tuan Zang was very sorry, and he was a little excited, "Cancel the illusion and let them rest for a while." β
"Yes."
Akabane instantly seals and dissolves the illusion.
There were no accidents, everyone dissolved the illusion, and the mood was more or less wrong.
However, most of them stopped going crazy soon after seeing Danzo and Akabane, and only a few of them almost went berserk like the one in the Nara family.
"Today's training is over, everyone rests."
