Chapter 262: The Lord

Knowing that a traitorous ninja had found his traces, Shikamaru decided to leave here, he was not sure if the three souls of the sword had spread his news to the black market before his death, although he was not afraid of the enemy, but he also did not want to cause a lot of trouble, so the Nara family hairstyle that had been maintained for many years, he had long since abandoned it, and now he only wore his long hair in a ponytail hanging down the back of his head with white strips of cloth, and wore a coarse cloth sewn kimono and a wide hat on his head, so that people could not see his face clearly.

In order to prevent being poisoned, Shikamaru doesn't even spend money on food, but just takes some things when he passes by people or shops, and leaves a sum of money, which can also make him try not to go to crowded urban areas.

Compared to the prosperous country of fire, Shikamaru can only be described as chaotic and disorderly, whether it is the daimyo of his country or the big snake pill who created the sound ninja village, it seems that he is not in the mood to manage this country, he cares about the life and death of the people, there is no strong ruling organization, coupled with the lord who is powerful and the situation is becoming increasingly poor, people have to use more radical means to seek a way out, robbers, thieves, bandits, ......, and even cults, crimes in this country occur from time to time, For travelers who come from other places and have no protective power, every local person can become a criminal, and some criminal gangs are even composed of the remaining ninjas of the former ninja village of Tanokuni, these people are not in the role of ninjas, but for ordinary people, they are already warriors in a hundred, and the people behind them are likely to have a lot of connections with some local lord officials.

Shikamaru stood quietly in the shadows where the firelight should not be, and looked thoughtful as he watched a group of cult priests with torches, white robes, and top hats going to collect money from various homes.

The country is terminally ill, the people are numb and impoverished, they are the oppressed at the bottom, powerless to resist reality, and above them, some of the strongmen who hold their own force are lawless, and those who have power compete with each other for the right to squeeze the common people, those who have religions such as so-called "mutual aid associations", and there are also sects, all of which are united in this purpose, and on top of them, the officials and nobles who have the army and the right to rule regularly, who do not care, and do not know the life and death of the commoners below, for them, all the qiē owned by this country are owned by the daimyo, and now the daimyo don't care about everything, it doesn't matter whether the qiē they do is good or bad, it is fundamental to compete for interests for themselves and their families, and many local crimes and cult gangs are somewhat related to them.

In fact, even if one or two officials want to manage it, but they don't have enough organizational strength, they can only barely manage their own surrounding areas, and it is difficult to supervise the slightly farther boundaries and subordinate units.

In Shikamaru's eyes, now this country is like a broken ship that is about to sink to the bottom of the sea, and everyone thinks of not plugging the loopholes, but competing to disassemble the planks on the ship, trying to survive and find another big ship when the crisis comes, as for those ordinary people who have no ability or tools to dismantle the planks, they can only wait for death silently.

Shikamaru somewhat understands why Orochimaru launched a war of aggression against the country of grass not long ago, and now the country of Tian no longer has any value for Orochimaru to squeeze, and he disdains the petty profits that those criminal gangs compete for, so he brazenly launches a war, plundering all kinds of resources and ninjas - those ninjas who are in the market in the country of Tian are simply useless garbage in his eyes, and they are not even qualified to be guinea pigs.

"Maggots." Shikamaru looked at a group of cult priests, a tall man, with the practice, his mind gradually became round and crystal as a whole, his heart was pure and immaculate, his intuition became more and more keen, he could even see through the illusion of some things, insight into the essence, and he could feel the hostility and danger of the outside world, at this time, even if he was far away, without too much observation, Shikamaru could find that the man had a chakra that was far stronger than his accomplices and ordinary people.

Seeing the group walking in the direction where they were, Shikamaru stopped observing, turned around and fled into the darkness, and pointed to the seal, escaped through the space, and came to his hiding place.

"Yin and Yang ......." After Shikamaru returned to his hiding place, he did not immediately immerse himself in his mind and fight the eight-tailed bull, but crawled in front of the window, unconsciously playing with the "shadow show" in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Tailed beasts are actually made of energy from the six immortals, and they have no entity, but they are indeed growing, and they can also fight like entities, lifelike.

Conversely, they can also turn into a disembodied chakra, which can only be recondensed into a physical form when needed, and even after being killed and torn apart, they can still recover their bodies with the passage of time.

How does this work? Let the energy live as a physical body, and fight without the body?

Shikamaru can rely on "Shadow Show" to store spiritual energy and maintain it after staying away from the body, but if he loses the storage of "Shadow Show", the spiritual energy still can't leave his body, or does he need physical energy to act as a container?

Shikamaru wanted his chakra to be able to change freely without being out of his body, and in this regard, he only had some information from the original book in his mind as a reference for the new arts, including the tailed beast itself, Kato Tsuto's "Spiritualization Technique", and even Naruto Uzumaki's "Senjutsu". Wind escape. Spiral shuriken".

In the original book, Kato Tsunade once relied on spiritualization to detach the spirit from the body, daytime out of the body, free flight, and finally gave Chakra to Tsunade, treated her injuries and replenished Chakra, looking at this does mean that there is plenty of physical energy in it.

Thinking about this, Shikamaru walked to the bed, sat down cross-legged, and extracted the eight-tailed chakra at the seal of his lower abdomen, and then a stream of dark red energy gradually wrapped Shikamaru's body.

Even if the chakra that the Eight Tails was eaten away by was only a small amount, it was extremely large for Shikamaru, and his body absorbed it all the time and changed into his own chakra, but the speed was still far behind.

Shikamaru opened his eyes and observed the chakra that wrapped his whole body, there was no influence of the eight tails in the chakra, in fact, it was already physical energy, but it still faintly formed two horns on Shikamaru's head, and there was a chakra behind him that formed a tail and swayed around.

Seeing this, Shikamaru had a flash of inspiration in his mind, looked at Chakra, who vaguely maintained the outline of the eight-tailed shape, and muttered to himself, "It's strange to see them change around as they want." ”

Simply placing physical energy and spiritual energy together is just forming an ordinary chakra, and physical energy cannot play a role in protecting spiritual energy, so it is useless.

Shikamaru pondered, he needed the power of the seal to complete this new technique, forming the spiritual energy and the physical energy into a whole, but without intervening, especially the physical energy, which had to protect the spiritual energy from dissipating like a shell.

Bagua Sealing is a very ingenious sealing technique, sealing the Tailed Beast is not even its limit, the fourth generation Hokage, who has a deep understanding of this technique, even sealed himself and his wife's spiritual energy in Naruto Uzumaki's body with the Nine-Tails in the original book to help him tame the Nine-Tails, as long as there is a slight change, it should be able to play a role.

The corners of Shikamaru's mouth couldn't help but involve a smile, although it still needs to be practiced to verify its authenticity and correctness, but at least this qiē has a clue!

…………

Shikamaru sat cross-legged on the hard wooden bed, his eyes closed and his face calm.

For the past few days, he has stayed in his hiding place to develop new techniques, abandoning some foreign affairs, concentrating on thinking, and finally achieving something.

There are gradually two jet-black and pale green energies tumbling on the surface of Shikamaru's body, spiritual energy and physical energy are intertwined, but they are incompatible with each other, all of Shikamaru's spirit gradually converges on the two energies, and as time passes, a stronger and stronger sense of oppression permeates his spirit, as if he is wearing an iron coat, wearing shackles outside, and there are heavy restraints on his body.

He struggled as he had been in the womb when he was reborn, trying to climb towards that light.

Swish!

The pale green physical energy and the pitch-black spiritual energy gradually converged, detaching from Shikamaru's body, forming a whole with a pale golden light in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a human figure, except for the slightly transparent body and pale golden light, it was no different from Shikamaru's image at this time.

Shikamaru, who had woken up from his meditation, turned around and looked behind him, and what caught his eye was the body of "himself" sitting cross-legged, breathing weakly, his face calm, and his body motionless, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Shikamaru walked slowly around, but he didn't dare to stay too far away from the body, he could clearly feel the connection between himself and the body, and the movements were also consuming extremely weak energy, his heart moved, his body became more and more transparent, and the whole person suddenly floated in the air, and then rushed downward, and disappeared into the ground, and after a while, he emerged from the ground not far away.

After wandering and floating like this for a long time, Shikamaru's body gradually became more solid, turning the void into reality, taking out a kunai from the ninja bag of the flesh, and groaning and slashing open his left palm.

Laugh at!

Kun Wu didn't hesitate to cut an astonishing wound on his palm, but then it slowly healed, Shikamaru frowned slightly, he could feel that the speed of energy consumption just now was much faster, in other words, although his current state could ignore physical attacks, there was a limit to the number of times.

Shikamaru controlled his energy body and turned around the room for a long time, then slowly returned to his body, and after a while, he woke up with a groan.

One moment he could fly freely in mid-air, shuttling through objects and nothing, and the next moment he would be a mortal again, which made Shikamaru feel a little lost in his heart, but he quickly dispelled the idea.

This technique is not perfect, not to mention that his study of Yang Dun has just begun, and the reason why the tailed beasts cannot be completely killed may be helped by the power of the Ten Tails themselves, but they have grown from their young form when they were first born to this form, indicating that they are indeed relying on some kind of energy to enhance their strength, Naruto Uzumaki's "senjutsu. Wind escape. Spiral shuriken "can be separated from the body for long-range attacks, but also because of the replenishment and maintenance of natural energy in the process, this ninjutsu named "Lord of Heaven" by Shikamaru faintly has high hopes for him, and in a complete state, I am afraid that it needs spiritual energy, physical energy and natural energy to form a self-sufficient, no longer confined to the whole body, similar to the existence of the tailed beast!
