Chapter 38: Life and Death

Consciousness lies somewhere between coma and wakefulness.

Due to the anesthetic given before the operation, Sasuke felt weakness all over his body during the operation, but other than that, he didn't feel anything special.

I don't know how long I was in such a daze, until I heard a sentence in my ear: "Okay." Sasuke realized that the operation was over.

It's just that because the effect of the anesthetic is still in the body, Sasuke has to get up slowly, and this feeling of losing feeling makes Sasuke very unaccustomed, because he will not be able to understand the state of his body in time and lose control of his body.

About five minutes passed, and the anesthesia in his body wore off, and Sasuke regained control of his body, but there was still some incongruity.

Compared to the state before the operation, Sasuke obviously felt that his body had become lighter, and after clenching his fists, he felt the power contained in his fists, and his strength increased significantly.

Although this enhancement did not produce any qualitative changes, it was enough for Sasuke to understand that his body had become more refined than before.

Moreover, Sasuke thinks that this is a good thing.

If his strength is really too strong all of a sudden, and even he can't control it, when someone asks, Sasuke doesn't know how to answer.

Although Kakashi didn't say it explicitly, Sasuke didn't understand anything, and this kind of surgery that can effectively enhance the strength of the human body obviously can't be mentioned to irrelevant people.

Thinking of this, Sasuke glanced at the woman who was standing aside and had just operated on himself - Asami Masumi.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Director of the Pharmacy Department of Konoha Hospital. Isn't that obvious? ”

The expression under the mask of Asami Masumi was a little loose, as if revealing a funny smile.

"Really?"

"What else could it be?"

Asami asked rhetorically.

This rhetorical question left Sasuke speechless.

Yes, apart from the director of the pharmacy department of Konoha Hospital, what else can he answer?

Although the other party's style of doing things is a bit mysterious, he is still a member of Konoha.

"However, I didn't expect that you would be so bold as not to guard against anything, and leave your body to me at will. Should you say that you are courageous, or are you naΓ―ve? ”

Asami Masumi stared at Sasuke's immature but handsome face.

If I'm twenty years younger, I might try to pursue the other person.

After all, a handsome guy is a creature, even she can't be exempt from vulgarity.

"If Kakashi wants to be against me, then in the past few years, he has an opportunity, and there is no need to start at this time."

Sasuke gave this answer.

Asami smiled, "The bond of trust between you and Kakashi seems to be a little tougher than I thought. However, that guy also came with a lie, so be careful not to be sold by him. ”

"What's your relationship with him?"

"Grasshoppers on a boat."

β€œοΌŸβ€

What is the answer? Sasuke gave her a strange look, but finally stopped his curiosity and didn't ask.

Because he knows that even if he asks, it is estimated that the other party will not say anything, but will be tight-lipped.

It's similar to Kakashi.

It doesn't matter how much you say.

When it comes to some sensitive topics, it can be difficult to get them to speak.

Just because they're easy to talk doesn't mean it's okay to ask questions.

There are some problems that obviously violate the privacy of other people's work.

At this point, Sasuke still knows the severity. Because he doesn't like people to explore his privacy.

"Anyway, how do you feel about your current body compared to before?"

Asami Masumi changes the subject.

"The body has become lighter and the power to use is greater...... Probably because of my nervous reflexes, and my strength. As for the chakra......"

Sasuke closed his eyes, calmed down, and slowly explored the mysteries inside his body.

"How?"

Asami asked.

Sasuke opened his eyes, glanced at the other party, and replied, "There has been an increase, but the increase is minimal. ”

Compared to the obvious changes in his nervous reflexes and strength, the increase in chakra in his body is very flat, and if you don't look closely, you may think that there is no change from before.

"Of course, compared to physical and spiritual energy, chakra is easily perceived by perceptual ninjutsu. I also said at the beginning that my surgery can only make the quality of your 'container' immediate. Now, even if your chakra is twice as strong, your body will be able to withstand it without burdening your body and mind. ”

"What about Chakra?"

Sasuke cares about this.

While it's good to improve the quality of his 'container', Sasuke is more concerned about the chakra.

No matter how big a container is, it's just a container. The chakra inside the container is an important source of effective strength.

"The medicine I use in your body will subtly strengthen your chakra for the next year. The specific effect is that after a year, your chakra will be in a full state in the 'container'. ”

After listening to this, Sasuke nodded in satisfaction.

Asami Masumi said that even if his chakra at this time is twice as powerful, with his current 'container', he can completely eat it.

And after a year, his chakra will be full in the 'vessel'.

What this means, naturally, is self-evident.

His chakra will increase by at least twice this number within a year.

In the conversion unit of thousand birds, he can now use a thousand birds three times a day.

If you use it for the fourth time, you will fail due to the lack of chakra, and you will be counterattacked by the technique, and the writing wheel eye will not be able to open.

And after a year, his chakra is enough to support Chidori to use it more than six times a day, and it is in a state of keeping the writing wheel open.

This kind of improvement is completely beyond Sasuke's imagination.

His eyes looked at Asami Masumi with some eagerness, and there was a hint of longing in his eyes.

Asami Masumi naturally knows what Sasuke's longing eyes represent.

It's not easy to satisfy young boys. Especially a ninja like Sasuke, who has too much need for strength.

"I'm sorry, but this kind of surgery can only be used once per person. Don't always think about taking these shortcuts, after all, this surgery has improved you so much because of your own qualifications. If an ordinary person can improve the chakra by 30% on the original basis, it is already a medical miracle. ”

It is precisely because chakra is the foundation of all ninjutsu, physical arts, and illusions that it is extremely difficult to accumulate chakra.

Some ninjas, after five or ten years of cultivation, the chakra may not be able to double the growth.

"What exactly is this surgery? Are there any side effects that are not? ”

Sasuke asked.

Asami Masumi put one hand in the pocket of her white coat, but her eyes looked directly at Sasuke through the lenses that shone white.

"I'm not interested in using substandard drugs on subjects. And you should be familiar with this thing, the medicine you used just now is related to natural energy. ”

"Natural energy?"

Sasuke's face was slightly startled, revealing a serious look.

"That's right, the substance that has been injected into your body has been perfectly integrated with your flesh and blood, and even with your soul. It's just that I didn't expect that after following Kakashi for several years, your natural energy still hasn't been cultivated. Like your brother Itachi, there are too many distractions and obsessions, and I can't restrain them. ”

"Do you know Itachi?"

Sasuke was a little surprised.

"In the past, I used to be a regular visitor to the hospital, and I would basically come here every month to pick up medicine, injury medicine, recovery medicine, etc. A month before he defected to Konoha, he had also taken a large amount of calming medicine from the hospital. ”

"Calming medicine?"

Sasuke was thoughtful.

Under normal circumstances, there is no ninja who needs this special medicine.

Only those ninjas who have mental problems will take a small amount and use it sparingly.

However, Masumi Asami said that Itachi had taken a large amount of calming medicine from the hospital a month before he left Konoha......

A gleam flashed in Sasuke's eyes.

This may be the Weasel's weakness.

"Can I make a request?"

"What?"

"I want a copy of the Uchiha Itachi's medication data during the Konoha period."

All the case data of the ninja will be stored in the pharmacy department of Konoha Hospital.

As long as it is based on the abnormal medication of the Itachi during the Konoha period, it may be possible to reverse some of the weaknesses of the Itachi.

"Yes, yes...... Well, I see, are you trying to find the weakness of Uchiha Itachi from it? ”

"Yes, is that okay?"

"No problem, it's not difficult anyway. Rather than that, we should talk about the cost of surgery. ”

"How much does the surgery cost?"

Sasuke was stunned.

Asami Masumi looked at Sasuke's stunned face and sneered.

"You don't think this kind of chakra is available for free, do you? Eating white food is not a good behavior, Uchiha's young master. ”

"......" Sasuke was silent for a while and asked, "How much?" ”

"According to the standard market price, the medicine you used just now is a total of 50 million taels, and there is no market. In all of Konoha, you are one of the few ninjas to get this offer. ”

Hearing this price, even though Sasuke had been prepared, the muscles in his face twitched slightly.

"Distressed? I think the price is quite fair. You must know that even if the value of some things is measured by money, their own value is often not measured by money alone. ”

Asami said.

Sasuke understands this truth, but the operation fee of 50 million taels is still a bit beyond his psychological tolerance.

"I don't have that much money on me. The big money in the bank won't be officially used until I'm an adult. ”

Although his net worth is much richer than that of ordinary ninjas, he is not qualified to control the inheritance of the Uchiha clan.

At present, part of the living expenses are funded by the village, and part of them are paid for doing their own tasks.

"It doesn't matter, let's make a deed of arrears first. In a few years, I can still afford to wait. ”

Asami Masumi took out a contract document that had already been drawn up from the side, as well as a signature pen, and placed it in front of Sasuke.

When Sasuke saw this scene, he was a little speechless for a while, but he didn't say anything, and on the contract documents, he obediently signed his name.

……

After the anesthesia in his body completely dissipated, Sasuke left.

In this regard, Asami Masumi did not stop her, what Kakashi asked her to do has been done, as for how far Sasuke can grow next, it depends on the potential that the other party has, as well as enlightenment.

It is undeniable that ninjas who have an obsession with revenge will have greater demands and more persistent in power than ordinary ninjas.

Especially for a person like Sasuke, who has a deep hatred of blood, the consciousness of becoming stronger is stronger than that of ordinary avengers.

But what choice will be made after knowing the so-called truth? I hope I didn't lose money on this investment. ”

Asami Masumi sighed and walked over to a computer.

Sasuke's personal body data has been clearly recorded above.

Collecting the body data of every Konoha ninja is her job.

And taking advantage of the convenient position of director of the pharmacy department, I dare not say that all the Konoha ninjas, at least more than ninety percent of the Konoha ninjas, all the data of their bodies are backed up by her.

Ninjas, even a mediocre case data, can sometimes become a fatal weakness.

For example, Uchiha Itachi.

Another example is the Miyome Hokage, whose body is gradually aging and his mind is rapidly drying up.

The medicine taken by the three generations of Hokage needs to be processed by her hands, and although she will not poison it, she wants to understand the other party's physical condition through the medicine that the other party takes, which is just the easiest thing for Asami Masumi as a medical ninja.

"However, being able to stimulate twice the potential of the body, the physical and mental strength of this little imp is a bit beyond expectations. It seems that a report needs to be written. ”

The fluorescence of the computer screen was reflected on the lenses, and Asami Masumi muttered to herself.

β—Ž

A white room illuminated by fluorescent lamps.

Inside, the space is very large, with white floors and walls that are spotless and reflect the glow of fluorescent lamps.

In the center of the white room, a male corpse is lying.

The male corpse was dressed in a blue-and-white hospital gown, as if it had just been taken out of the freezer, and there was a faint layer of frost on his black hair.

In this relatively warm white room, the frost on my hair slowly melted, turning into water trails running down my cheeks and onto the floor.

In front of the corpse, three figures stood.

One man and two women.

It's Shiraishi, Ruri, and Ayane.

Looking at the corpse in front of him, Shiraishi took a step forward, and the expression on his face looked very serious.

Without a word, he slowly crouched down and stared at the male corpse closely, his hands sealed.

Compared with ordinary ninjutsu, the knotted Indian style is much more complicated and cumbersome.

About four or five seconds passed, and Shiraishi had formed no less than twenty Indian patterns in total.

The immortal chakra in his body began to surge, and the speed of operation was a bit beyond imagination, and the consumption was very large, so that Shiraishi's face appeared obviously pale.

After the seal was completed, Bai Shi immediately let go of his hand, and pressed his hands tightly on the chest of the male corpse, condensing the energy of the seal type, and all of his brain was input into the corpse.

The moment this energy touched the male corpse, there was a bang.

An invisible coercion spread in the white room.

The air was heavy, as if a boulder was pressing down on a person's body, making it difficult for one to breathe.

On Bai Shi's body, a very large materialized immortal chakra appeared visible to the naked eye, as if it was roaring like a beast, making the white room like an iron wall begin to tremble uneasily.

This terrifying momentum came and went quickly, and it only lasted a few breaths before it disappeared completely.

During this period, Ruri and Ayane did not receive the slightest impact.

The attention of the two of them has been on Shiraishi and the male corpse on the ground, and there is a slight strangeness in their faces, as if they are expecting something, and their pupils are shining.

"Hoo ......"

Shiraishi took a breath, took his hands off the somewhat cold male corpse, stood up, and took a step back to observe the changes in the corpse.

Without disappointing the three of them, the corpse on the ground first remained motionless, then its eyelids blinked, and the fingers on the ground also subconsciously trembled.

Although the magnitude was small, the trio was sure they were not mistaken.

Seeing this, Bai Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face was faintly excited.

"Looks like the reincarnation technique has worked."

A few years ago, in his capacity as the Minister of War of the Oni Country, he visited the small country of Lietuo, a small country of retreat, in the country of Oni, where he not only obtained a large number of ancient documents, but also obtained a semi-finished forbidden technique called 'Reincarnation'.

After several years of continuous improvement, combined with the immortal technique of the Wet Bone Forest, this semi-finished 'reincarnation technique' was finally perfected and turned into a finished reincarnation technique.

There is no doubt that the effect of the art of reincarnation is only one -

Raise the dead.

Reversing the cause and effect of life and death.

Of all the forbidden arts, the art of reincarnation is undoubtedly at the top of the forbidden arts.

Resurrecting the dead and touching this unknown realm as a human being, not to mention how important the strategic value of this technique is, is also of great significance for the development of biological science in the country of ghosts.

"It's unbelievable......"

Ayane sighed.

It was not the first time she had seen the dead come back to life.

In the past, when fighting Orochimaru, the opponent also used forbidden arts, summoning the dead from the underworld and using them to fight the enemy.

It's just that that kind of resurrection is not complete, it is just equivalent to the state of the living dead, without flesh and blood.

As a result, the sense of touch of these living dead is very weak, and it is estimated that a large part of the sense of taste and smell is absent in addition to the normal sense of sight and hearing.

However, the reincarnation technique used by Shiraishi is different, it is a real resurrection, so that the resurrected dead will be flesh and blood again, just like before death.

The glass is undeniable, and the scene of the operation is not so earth-shattering, but the effect is shocking enough.

At this time, the man lying on the ground slowly opened his eyes and saw the light that he had not seen for a long time.

It's just that after seeing this long-lost light, the man's eyes are only blank, because in the last consciousness of his 'sleep', he clearly sees the large amount of blood that he has sprinkled in front of his eyes.

It was their own blood.

I'm already dead...... Why do you wake up again?

Looking at the three Baishi in front of him, he didn't know the three of them at all.

The resurrected man was not a ninja, he was just a thief who did a lot of evil.

For him, killing passing business travelers every day was the reason for his survival.

"Who are you?"

The man spoke out vigilantly.

His intuition told him that the man and two women in front of him were not simple.

On your own, you may not be able to subdue them at the same time.

"Do you remember what happened to you?"

Shiraishi walked over and asked, his tone calm.

The man raised his eyebrows, looking like the other party was stupid, before his death? What was alive?

Seeing that the man didn't speak, Shiraishi glanced at Ruri behind him.

Liuli realized, and the pitch-black pupils suddenly turned into three magatama, and the eyes were bright red.

The man's body shook, and his whole face became dull, as if he was stupid.

Under the control of Ruri's illusion, the man began to dictate his past intermittently, and Shiraishi took out a notebook and began to compare it according to the man's oral experience.

After about five minutes, Shiraishi closed the notebook, and the man finished speaking.

Liuli ended the control of the illusion, and the other party screamed, his face turned pale, and he fell to the ground with a mental breakdown, like a gossamer.

"Everything has been compared, and it seems that the reincarnation technique has been successful, and there are basically no gaps in memory. However, more detailed things need to be further interrogated, so let's do it for now. ”

Shiraishi put the notebook in his pocket and exhaled deeply.

The experiment of reincarnation was successful, but the Immortal Chakra required was much more than I had imagined.

Fortunately, his immortal chakra is a relatively large type, and he can afford the consumption of immortal chakra of reincarnation.

If someone else performs this technique, it is likely that the price to be paid is not only the chakra, but the vitality of the practitioner himself.

Because the pure chakra cannot be compared with the immortal chakra in terms of quality at all.

"It seems that this technique consumes a lot of immortal chakra."

Seeing Baishi's somewhat weak posture, Ruri said.

"Bringing the dead back to life is not a simple matter. Even with the addition of the dragon vein's immortal chakra, in my current state, I can only use the reincarnation technique for a maximum of four times. The premise of performing this technique is that the body is relatively intact. If it is a mutilated corpse, it will require more immortal chakra, and two or three times of use is the limit. ”

Shiraishi nodded, not denying that this technique was a huge burden on his own immortal chakra.

However, even if there are some flaws in the reincarnation technique, it can still be used as one of his decisive hole cards at the bottom of the box.

It's just that no matter how shocking the effect of the reincarnation technique is, Shiraishi still maintains a cautious attitude towards the forbidden technique.

Because once your own immortal chakra is exhausted, what you have to pay is your original life force.

The power of the forbidden art lies in the fact that it is a terrifying double-edged sword.

One face the enemy, the other face yourself.

"And ......"

Shiraishi groped his chin and fell into thought.

"And what?"

"At first, I thought that the cause and effect of life and death would be chaotic, and that there would be a messenger from the underworld to warn the sorcerer. After all, if the art of reincarnation is abused, it can confuse the worlds of the living and the dead. In the long run, this is not a blessing for both the living and the dead. ”

Shiraishi sighed.

Ruri and Ayane were thoughtful, and they also understood Shiraishi's concerns.

Indeed, the most terrible taboo of reincarnation is not the burden on the practitioner himself, but the dilution of the cause and effect of life and death for both the living and the dead.

At that time, it is likely that you will not be able to distinguish between a living person and a dead person.

It is estimated that even Shiraishi himself does not know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that he has mastered this forbidden technique.

But even though he knew the consequences, Shiraishi did it without hesitation.

Human curiosity is not satisfied.

Shiraishi is also human.

It is precisely because of the unknown that Shiraishi can't restrain his inner curiosity and challenges the unknown.

Even if you understand that using reincarnation will make you lose your concept of life and death.

But I still want to explore what kind of things are hidden at the end of life and death.

But the results of the exploration were a bit disappointing to Shiraishi.

Nothing happened.

Punishment from another world did not appear.

If this kind of punishment does appear and happens to him, Shiraishi may feel a little reassured.

Human beings will explore the unknown out of curiosity, but when faced with the unknown, they often can't help but be afraid.

Shiraishi is in the midst of this extremely complex state of mind.

Curious about the boundaries between life and death, but also terrified of the existence of such boundaries.

I am worried that I can't resist the temptation and continue to abuse such forbidden techniques, which will dilute my original life values.

He knows how to govern the living, to govern the country, to enlighten people's minds.

But I don't know how to govern the world of the dead, which is a completely unfamiliar territory for human beings.

When we know that another world really exists, we can no longer look at it from an idealistic point of view, but we need to look at another world with a materialistic attitude.

"What is the Pure Land where the dead are?"

This is a question that no one can answer Shiraishi.

But Shiraishi knew that he had begun to explore another world, and finally one day, the mysteries of the other world would be revealed one by one under the desire of human beings to explore.
