Late July, summer.

It was almost evening, and when Shiraishi returned from work at the ninja school, he heard unexpected news from Ruri.

"Out on a mission?"

Hearing Ruri say that he wanted to go out on a mission, Shiraishi was slightly surprised.

"Yes, I thought about it, I'm not fit for the idle life of the garrison. I have already handed in the transfer application form. ”

Shiraishi thought that Ruri had been working in the garrison for more than a year, and it was indeed almost time to get bored.

Life there is indeed too comfortable for the garrison, and most of the things handled are civil disputes, so that Liuli's strong forbearance is useless.

This kind of thing, handing it over to an ordinary Uchiha ninja is enough to settle it.

The reason why Liuli was arranged to be the captain of the garrison was also out of gold-plated considerations.

After all, the garrison is the honor department run by the Uchiha clan, and many Uchiha people are proud to be members of the garrison.

But this is not an honor for Liuli, but a boring life.

"It's better to go out for a walk."

"Do you want to be together?"

Regarding Liuli's invitation, Baishi scratched his head in distress and said, "Forget it, I'll be exempt." Now the research of immortal arts is only the last step of reconciliation, and when my research is successful, I will think about it again. ”

Liuli didn't force it, and the study of immortal arts is indeed an important thing.

She was also looking forward to Shiraishi being able to study the immortal arts soon.

In that way, her strength will grow by leaps and bounds again, and the application of the writing wheel eye will also go to a higher level.

"By the way, since you're out on a mission, you're going to regroup the team, right? With your current status as a ninja, it shouldn't be possible to join other sorbets. ”

Normal missions are carried out in small teams of four.

There are also many times when a special team mode is adopted, such as a mixed unit with several mid-ninja and lower ninjas.

Usually this happens in times of war.

Because at that time, the sacrifice rate of the upper shinobi was also very high.

But this is not a time of war, and the normal squad model is to work in groups of four.

The upper ninja is equipped with three middle ninjas or lower ninjas.

"Recently, the leader of a squad died in the line of duty, and I will go to that squad to serve as the captain. The team members seem to be little ghosts who have just graduated. ”

"Haha, it's really unfortunate, not long after I graduated, I encountered such an unfortunate thing as the captain who died in the line of duty, and now I want to replace you as the captain."

The graduation season for ninja schools is usually in March and April.

It's July now, which means that this team's shinobi has only graduated for less than half a year, and their leader Shinobi died in the mission.

It is estimated that on the way to the mission, it was a tragic encounter with some unlucky accident.

After all, many tasks entrusted by clients are also full of traps, lying about information or something.

This happens all the time.

Liuli decided to go out on a mission, probably because of Shuomao's affairs, and she was still a little bored.

In this regard, Shiraishi let her go.

With the strength of the glass, it is impossible to encounter any unexpected situations.

After all, leading a rookie squad, the task will not be too difficult.

It's very different from when they were merged into the Shuomao team.

The next day.

Shiraishi came to Ruri's room and saw that there was only a note left in the room, and after seeing the content on it, he knew that Ruri had gone out.

In this regard, I just didn't get used to it for a while, and I quickly adjusted my mentality.

After breakfast, Shiraishi plunged headlong into the laboratory and began to adjust the mechanism of the fusion of chakra and natural energy.

If chakra and natural energy exist alone, it is not difficult to control.

Especially for those who are born with excellent control ability, they can get started quickly and will not waste a single trace of energy when fighting.

But when these two energies merge, they become uncontrollable.

In the transparent pipe, use instruments to adjust the chakra inside and fuse it with natural energy.

Then just place it here, and Shiraishi will do the rest of the research.

And this research has a certain connection with the soil man, General Tu.

After the last battle with the Hinata Fire Array, he found that Shogun Tsuto could help in battle in many cases.

For example, suicide bombs, suicide bombs, suicide bombs......

In addition to his stealth ability, General Tu's sneak attack ability is also top-notch.

Although he himself does not have much combat ability, he has a space inside that can be accommodated, and the principle is the same as that of a sealed scroll, which can store many items.

At this time, Shiraishi got a lot of poison gas bombs, detonators and other lethal weapons and put them in General Tu's body, so that he could not only exist as a communication tool.

Now, in addition to conducting research on immortal arts, Shiraishi is also conducting experiments on 'artificial humans' at the same time.

He plans to create another 'android' that is the same as General Tu.

The trait given by Shogun Earth is 'Earth'.

The ability to lurk in the soil, as well as the ability to move, is much greater than that in the water.

This time, Shiraishi plans to make a new android.

Gives it the property of 'yin'.

That is, the yin.

This type of technique is reflected in the shadow man of the insect boy squad.

His ability to melt into the shadows is a kind of use of Yin Retreat.

There are also shadows such as the Nara clan's shadow technique, and the Uchiha's chakra eye illusion, all of which belong to the category of yin retreat.

Shiraishi soon had a new template in mind.

Draw up the design first, then take out the materials that have been prepared from the inventory in the laboratory and start working on them.

I hope that the puppet pinched out this time can have a higher intelligence.

If you can be smarter than the imbecile son of General Tu, you will be satisfied.

The order in which androids are made is not complicated.

The first step is to shape the shape, using the yin and yang chakra nature changes to give the shape material life vitality, and then use the natural energy as their life energy, and set up the characteristics that can independently regulate and absorb the natural energy of the outside world.

Next, the most critical step.

With the shell of life, all that remains is to fill the soul.

A shell without a soul is incomplete life.

And the main body of this soul...... It was Shiraishi himself.

A part of his soul fragments are 'transferred' with soul magic.

It is cultivated, adjusted, and filled into the created doll shell.

In the final procedure, the puppet fused with the fragments of his soul is placed in a floor-standing glass container filled with natural energy for perfect fusion.

Shiraishi quietly watched as his new 'child' was born from the instrument......

◎

In the following time, Shiraishi waited quietly for his 'child' to be born, and watched the progress of the fusion of immortal arts.

In the afternoon, Shiraishi went to work at the ninja school.

After returning from work, the 'child' in the laboratory still hasn't woken up, and it should still need to absorb a lot of energy before it can be completely born.

Soon the day passed.

The next morning, Shiraishi went to Ruri's room as usual.

I didn't see Ruri's figure.

It's been a day and I haven't been back.

I guess I led a kid who had just graduated from a ninja school to go on a mission outside the village.

Bai Shi suddenly felt a little indescribable in his heart, looking at the empty glass room, his heart was a little lost.

Since living in this place, it seems that I haven't been separated from Ruri for such a long time.

It's a little weird to miss her.

Shiraishi thought as he walked towards the underground lab.

Nothing had changed in the laboratory, and the 'child' he had created was still shutting his eyes tightly in the floor-standing glass apparatus, absorbing the natural energy inside.

Shiraishi looked at the immortal fusion data on the computer, it was a little better than yesterday, although the magnitude was not large, but it was indeed very close to success.

The morning was squandered like this, and the research form of immortal arts was also adjusted during the period, but it was always a little bit short of success.

Shiraishi thought of the shrine maiden in the country of ghosts, and over the past few days, he had communicated a lot of letters with the other party through the earth general.

But most of them are some cooperative exchanges.

For example, if you set up a company in the country of ghosts, you hope that the official officials of the country of ghosts will facilitate further cooperation as a neutral country.

But Shiraishi knew that the shrine maidens of the Oni Country knew how to use natural energy.

She also reminded herself of the words 'be careful of Myoki Mountain'.

Myoki Mountain, one of the three sacred places, is also one of the origins of immortal arts.

That witch, does she also know how to do immortal arts?

But wouldn't it be too sudden to ask this, after all, something as important as immortal arts, if it was replaced by oneself, it would not be easy to hand it over to others.

Asking such a secret question is likely to cause a breakdown in the relationship.

After all, this is likely to involve an important inheritance that cannot be leaked out of the shrine maiden lineage.

"It's really hard to do......"

Shiraishi frowned, and when he saw the dot on the clock, it was already more than twelve o'clock, so he simply didn't want to go out to eat.

When he came back, Shiraishi was slightly stunned.

Inside the floor-to-ceiling glass apparatus used to nurture his 'child', his 'child' has disappeared.

The natural energy inside was still there, and there was no damage to the glass instrument, as if the whole person had erased the trace from the glass instrument.

Shiraishi took a few steps forward, immediately sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the laboratory.

Shadow.

Lots of shadows.

Countless shadows swirled on the walls, on the floor, and on Shiraishi's body, in strange and very twisted circles.

Vague shadows, silent silence.

In this strange and distorted shadow dance, it gives people a somewhat mysterious feeling of confusion and confusion.

Eventually, all the shadows stopped.

Attributed to a point.

In front of Shiraishi, the entity quietly protrudes from the ground.

"Father."

A cold female voice.

Dressed in pitch black, with long flowing black hair and a pure black metal mask, only a pair of cold eyes that were completely occupied by pure black pupils were exposed.

The shadow of the night is like ice and snow.

She fell to her knees on one knee and paid her utmost respect and adoration to her Creator.

Shiraishi's eyes were full of relief, and from her cold eyes, he could know that this was different from the stupid general of the earth.

She is a daughter of normal intelligence.

At this moment, another object protruded from the ground, a dirt head.

Just as it was about to confide something, a dark shadow crossed its neck.

The head with pale golden eyes rolled on the ground and hit a wall before stopping.

And the shadow children, who were still paying tribute to Shiraishi, said in a proud and cold tone, "Father, the enemy has been dealt with. ”

“……”

"Father?"

The Shadow Girl spoke in a puzzled tone.

Why don't you compliment me?

"He's your brother......"

The shadow girl stiffened and lowered her head, as if at a loss.

Bai Shi sighed softly, and had to comfort her and said, "But you don't have to worry too much, your brother has a brain problem, and he won't remember these things." You just have to be nice to it in the future. ”
