Chapter Fifty-Three: Roaring Dragon Valley Discovery
Looking at the distant backs of the sand ninja trio, the sword shadow restored the taut muscle groups to their natural state, and the breath of relief in his chest was also relieved. "What a nuisance. Unexpectedly, such a beast can also make Naruto influence, and the protagonist's aura is really domineering. It looks like I'm going to have to stay away from Naruto's stupid guy if I get infected too, it's not over! โ
In previous lives, many people said that every world has a protagonist, and each protagonist has the aura of the protagonist that the world gives him.
Yanagi Jianying is not worried about the other party's strong luck and strength, what he is most afraid of is this ability to silently infect others and influence others. It's like Yakushidou meets Itachi, and after coming out of Izanami's illusion, he compares it with the original Yakushidou and judges the two of them.
This is the trick that Yanagi Jianying is most worried about, just like being hit by another god. I don't know what kind of eyes my future self will look at my current self and what I am doing now.
Draw your attention back from where the three children disappeared and look back at the Roaring Dragon Valley. Yanagi Kenkage put aside the matter of meeting the three of them, and there was not much news from this meeting, so it was meaningless. He didn't have the information that I'm a human pillar, and since he had already drawn the color of concern in the hearts of the Konoha higher-ups, he didn't want to continue to attract their attention.
"I can't control these things, if I want to get the approval of the Hokage, I just need to help the three generations solve the crisis during the middle ninja exam. It's just that...... Don't look at me with tinted glasses after that! "When Yanagi Sword Shadow plans to take the ninja exam, he will guard against Orochimaru's surprise attack on the three generations, even if he can't stop the Four Purple Flame Array, he must ensure that he is in the enchantment and fights side by side with the three generations.
Zhanyun's goal is to save the lives of three generations, and the old man set up a series of slashes for himself, trying his best not to learn advanced ninjutsu for himself. But the sword shadow is very clear, if it is not protected by the three generations, at this time, I am afraid that some people in the dark department have already pounced on the "root".
Yanagi Sword Shadow snorted lightly, jumped down from the high ground, and looked at the area by area against the map of the outer periphery of the Roaring Dragon Valley that he had just drawn.
Originally, he planned to spend two days walking around the periphery, but when he walked to the other side, Yanagi Kenkage saw two giant rocks full of cracks.
It is more than three meters in diameter and forty centimeters in size when it emerges from the ground. It is possible that there was an unimaginable blow at the time, and when viewed from the fracture, the crack penetrated deep into the interior.
The place where the two stone pillars stand is a platform, and now it is impossible to see the landform of the past, which has been eroded by wind and sand all day long, and there are more notches and pits on the ground.
Yagyu Kenkage walked around the platform and stone pillar a few times, noting its features, and then turned his attention elsewhere, hoping to find something similar.
As he expected, the presence of stone pillars was found in the three diagonal directions of the south, east, west, and south, along with the side observed from the high ground. It is only due to the lack of shelter in these places that the platform has been assimilated into the Gobi, and the stone pillars have also been cracked into rubble.
Mark the location of the stone pillars and draw their locations on the map with a red circle, and Yagyu Kenkage determines that these stone pillars are an enchantment activation device.
Even if it is struck with a hammer, the stone pillar will only shatter, not completely shatter from the inside out, as it seems, and the only thing that can inflict this attack is the energy impact. But who would be idle and bored to attack the stone pillars, these are obviously man-made objects, more than three meters in diameter, as long as people with a normal brain will not spend a lot of effort to destroy them one by one, and it is also in the way of importing chakra.
So there is only one result, the eight stone pillars in the four directions, southeast, northwest, and east are the basis that form the outer barrier of the Roaring Dragon Valley. They provide all of the enchantment's energy, and when attacked, it mitigates a portion of the attack's impact. It may have been that the force attacking the barrier was too strong, and the barrier collapsed instantly, and sent more energy than the upper limit of their bearing to the stone pillars, which was destroyed in an instant.
With the scene in his mind, Jian Ying pondered how much power it would be to shatter these stone pillars to such an extent.
It's not that he hasn't thought of other possibilities, but the rest are too small compared to the probability of this happening.
"It's really strange, I've been here for three days, why haven't I seen a 'ghost' haunting? Could it be that the person who provided this information is playing tricks? Thinking about it carefully, it was impossible, and the suspicions that came to his heart were put aside by him, "This person has seen it more than once, and there are also rumors of 'ghosts' appearing nearby in the oasis. Tsk, what the hell is going on? Am I here at the wrong time, the 'ghosts' have moved? Looks like I'm going to have to watch around for a while. โ
Not seeing the "ghost" haunting, Sword Shadow didn't want to approach the Roaring Dragon Valley rashly, since he was sure that this was something left over from the ninja forces a hundred years ago, he was more and more careful, and when he wasn't sure whether his life would be threatened in front of him, no matter how cautious he was, he couldn't be wrong.
Jian Ying decided that from today onwards, he would not return to the shop in the oasis at night, and would stay here until he figured out what the so-called "ghost" was before making the next move.
According to the intelligence analysis, the "ghosts" mostly appear in the evening and early morning, when the sky is not completely bright.
Yanagi Sword Shadow walked all over the periphery of the Roaring Dragon Valley, and he knew that in the evening and early morning, the light here would be slightly dimmer than other places, making it difficult for people in the distance to see clearly, as if covered with a thin gauze scarf, making people look hazy.
As the day passed, Sword Shadow wrapped the blanket tightly around his body, and although he was protected by chakra, he still felt cold.
The temperature in the Gobi Desert is too variable, because it is all sand, it cannot retain heat, and after absorbing a little temperature during the day, the heat of the sun accumulates in the desert, and at night, the heat stored in the sand also dissipates quickly.
There was no harvest for a day, and the sword shadow's face remained unchanged, but he was not happy with his sin.
"Through the formation of an enchantment through eight pillars, this has the same effect as the Four Purple Flame Array, but I don't know if I can find a record of this here. There are ten days at most, and if he doesn't show up tonight, he will send a shadow clone in, even if he startles the snake, he can't control it. "This is a limited-time mission, sent from Sand Hidden Village, I don't know what I have in mind, but I actually handed it over to Konoha for reconnaissance.
It's like a stronghold of suspected armed thugs in Central, and the government asked the polar bears to send people to scout the terrain for a reason, which is very unreasonable, but the fact is that it happened.
Sword Shadow had the patience to wait, but it was too late, and in terms of the number of shadow clones, he could now distinguish the number of shadow clones that had plucked all the leaves on the tree.
Use a large number of shadow clones to surround the Roaring Dragon Valley and advance them one by one, as long as there are people inside, there is no possibility that they can't be found.
Although Yanagi Jianying didn't perceive any chakra in perception, there are too many magical things in the world, maybe there are things that can shield and cover chakra, and he won't use perception as a universal early warning. Modern society receives far more information than this era, maybe people can't learn how to play tricks, but there is still vision, even if you don't, you can understand what means the local other party used to deceive you at that time.
There is a saying that he remembers very clearly, "If someone can deceive you, it is often because you also want to deceive yourself", yes, because you don't believe in yourself, so you entrust it to others.
And in the evening of that day, the "ghost" appeared.
The sun set in the west, reflecting the heavens and the earth in black and white, and the east side of the Roaring Dragon Valley entered darkness at this moment. And at this time, a group of things that seemed to float in the air without weight appeared, they were not two or three, but a group, the sword shadow let go of the perception, but found that he could not sense them, only a little chakra breath was detected in them.
"There's something in there, but is it a human being?" Such a close distance can still converge Chakra to this point, if the other party is a human, even if the strength is not strong, there must be some means.
Now he is not worried about the enemy's strong strength, because their strength will be transformed into combat power, they can touch, they can touch, and they have the ability to be reborn, so they are not worried. Compared to these, it is the space-time ninjutsu like the curse sealing enchantment and Obito that that makes the sword shadow entangled. Once it is sealed, even if it has the ability to be reborn, it will not make a little waves.
The ten-fist sword obtained by Uchiha Itachi can seal the soul of living beings, and the sword shadow doesn't know if it will have an effect on himself, but undoubtedly, he doesn't want to have close contact with this sword.
Yanagi Sword Shadow watched as the group of gray "air masses" hidden in the shadows entered the Roaring Dragon Valley, and his right hand made a mark on his chest.
After the ninjutsu took effect, Kenkage's body gradually disappeared, as if someone had erased his image from the paper.
The art of transforming all things!
This is the name given to ninjutsu by Kenkage, and it can also be an elementalization technique, because the effect of this ninjutsu is very similar to the effect of eating a natural fruit in One Piece.
The difference is that the art of transforming all things is to control one's own cells to disperse in the surrounding environment, or combine with water, or walk with the wind, maybe dive into the ground, may be stored in fire, which is equivalent to being in a certain area, heaven and earth are themselves, and they are heaven and earth.
Of course, this is the highest level of the art of transforming all things, and its danger is directly proportional to its strength. Because the cells are dispersed separately, they have to face the erosion of the natural environment, and if the strength is not strong, the energy allocated to the cells is not much, which is equivalent to disintegration. In addition, even if the user's strength is strong, but there is no way to "stuff" a large amount of energy into the cells, the outcome is the same.
What's more, there are also souls, consciousness, control over the scattered "body", and the way the cells work after integrating into the environment, etc., which is the most difficult level that Kenkage has seen so far.
He knew about this technique half a year after entering the Nightless City, and he wanted to learn it, but there was too much difference between humans and the primeval algae, and the technique that the other party could use was not necessarily suitable for humans, just like the multiple shadow clone technique mastered by the sword shadow, none of the primeval algae could use it.
After knowing the principle of this technique, Yanagi Sword Shadow sent out a hundred shadow clones every day to find a way to solve the problem of transplanting them to humans, and the main body and other shadow clones learned immortal arts, and other scattered shadow clones carried out other cultivation.
Even so, it took two years for Yagyu Sword Shadow to transform it into a ninjutsu that humans could use, and at this time, he had already mastered immortal art and was an immortal.
After half a year, except for the shadow clone that needs to be assigned for normal exercise, Sword Shadow has been practicing this ninjutsu.
It's just too dangerous, too difficult to master.
For example, after being dispersed, some cells combine with the soil, which requires the use of soil, otherwise it will not be integrated into the soil; Some cells run into the fire, which uses fire escape, otherwise it is looking for death. And so on and so forth. Yanagi Sword Shadow was far from this, and for safety, he didn't spread the cells, but spread them into gas, slowly floating towards the Roaring Dragon Valley.
This state is very hidden, the chakra will assimilate with the natural energy, but it is also very fragile, following the suspicious person and following the path of the other party, it will always be safe.
The art of transforming all things is very powerful, and it can allow the body to blend into the surrounding environment, but even if it can dive underground in the ninjutsu state and walk through the rocks, after this technique is lifted, the sword shadow does not have the ability to move in the rocks. After all, it is a special state technique, and unless it is cultivated to the highest level, if you want to pass through the rock shadow of the sword, you still have to learn the art of rock concealment.
In this state, Yanagi Sword Shadow can only mobilize natural energy, although there are huge chakras in each cell, but those chakras are the basis for their survival, the current sword shadow does not dare to use it, if he is not careful, he will die silently even if he dies - completely turning into nature, which is more terrifying to him than being contaminated with toad oil in Miaomu Mountain to practice immortal arts and finally turning into rocks.
As he approached, the sword shadow "saw" what the gray mist was.
"Soul? It's a soul?! โ
A burst of stunned voices lingered in the consciousness of Liu Sheng's sword shadow, even if it was him, he only knew a little soul fur, but the souls in front of him who formed a team obviously had traces of being controlled.
Regardless of whether the means of controlling the soul are crude or low-level, at least in a certain aspect of soul control, he is ahead of the sword shadow, just like Orochimaru's turning technique, which is also a certain principle of using the soul.
In fact, in the field of soul research, no one dares to say that they are ahead, and even if they achieve success in this field, they do not necessarily guarantee that they will surpass others. It's really because there are so many aspects of the soul relationship that there are so many people who study it that they can only cut into it and pull things out little by little, and everything that can be taken out is extremely powerful and effective.
These souls have the appearance of their former life, i.e., in human form. It's just that they don't have the strength to maintain their shape, twisting and twisting, and gradually fading into a circle. The most striking feature is that many souls have shortened limbs, and the missing parts have retracted into the swollen interior of the body. Every time a wind blows, they will be like ripples on the surface of a calm lake, and people are very worried that they will be torn apart by the wind in the next moment.
"Without ** protection, is the soul so fragile!! No, Kato Tsuru's Soul Transformation Technique is a ninjutsu that can incorporate chakra into the soul. Moreover, these souls seem to ......"
Yanagi Jianying couldn't say why, but he always felt that these controlled souls were a little different, as if they lacked sanity. Although they are controlled by people, even if the filthy earth is reincarnated, when the dead are summoned, they still carry with them the memories of when they were alive. But the souls in front of them are different, from the follow-up to the present, their minds seem to gradually disappear as their bodies become round.
By the time the sword shadow floated directly above the group, he finally saw the source of the little chakra he had felt earlierโa human in an earthy yellow robe.
He walked among his souls, without raising his head or opening his mouth, without even making a sound to move.
"This guy! Where is his destination? Why collect souls near the Valley of the Howling Dragons. Wait, where did these souls come from? โ
