Chapter 29: The Sea of Souls
The oil girl Iron Pill was cut off by Kato's soul through his body, and at that moment, he fell into absolute silence, unable to hear anything, and what he saw was countless balls of light, familiar balls of light.
Right in front of his eyes, hundreds of balls of light dimmed, many of which even shattered and sank.
Is this the sea of light for the soul? The sea of light I saw before I crossed over?
Before the oil girl Tetsumaru could figure out what was going on, a powerful sense of drag overtook him.
Then he regained his hearing and found himself facing the ground with pain all over his body. And there is still a person on his body who is pressed and completely unable to move.
"Catch up and kill him!" This is Tsunade-sama ordering, oh, the human pillar force is not dead, and he has escaped?
"Save people, move everyone out."
"Whoever goes to the camp and calls all the shinobi here, there is a need for manpower here."
"Who still has bandages? Who still has a first aid kit? ”
Gradually, the various voices became more and more blurred, and the vision was gradually covered by a red curtain, and blood soaked through her hair, and then dripped from her forehead to the ground, and soon the oil girl Tetsumaru fell unconscious again.
……
The Great War was jointly initiated by Iwakure and Yugakure, and the super-god Sanshoyu Hanzo first defeated the combined forces of Konoha and Iron Country of the Grass Country, and then defeated the ninja army led by the Hokage disciples on the border of the Fire Country.
At the same time, Iwakure sent nearly a thousand ninjas, including the human pillar force Lao Zi and the son of the earth shadow, Loess Kamishinobi, to unite the remaining forces of Yuyin to plan a sneak attack on the Konoha camp on the border of the Land of Rain.
Hanzo then marched westward, cooperated with Onoki, and successively defeated three forces of the Sand Hide, including the puppet division troops led by Chiyo, and cooperated with the loess to destroy the five camps of the Sand Hide in the Land of Rain, driving all the Sand Hidden ninjas out of the Land of Rain.
In the end, he led the legion to confront the Konoha ninja army again, winning nine out of ten battles, forcing Konoha to abandon all the outposts and camps on the border, and retreated to the hinterland of the Fire Country before regaining a foothold.
The first climax of the Second Ninja World War came to an end, and the four countries of Fire, Rain, Wind, and Iron suffered heavy losses, and had to lick their wounds and regain their strength.
Hanzo, the leader of Yuyin Village, has traveled three thousand miles and killed countless people, and his reputation has reached a new height.
How high?
The disciple of the Hokage of Konoha Village, after being defeated by him, let go, and give the title of "Konoha Three Ninjas" as an additional gift.
At first, everyone saw this title as a disgrace, and the three parties heard the kind that would hit people.
As Hanzo's achievements became more and more exaggerated, and his reputation became more and more famous, some people began to call him a "demigod".
"Konoha Three Ninjas" just became a recognized title with Hanzo's fame, at least if you call it "One of the Three Ninjas" in person, he won't beat anyone, at most he will stare at you.
……
Kindness? I'm back, I can't be dead.
The oil girl Iron Pill in the state of the ball of light was a little panicked, and my soul was knocked away by Kato's broken soul?
Why? Why? Because I'm a traverser, the combination of spirit and flesh is not perfect?
Steady, don't panic, take a deep breath......
There are no lungs, and breathe a hammer.
Anyway, don't panic, let me see what I can do?
Oil Girl Tetsumaru tried hard to remember and try what the light ball state could do, and I don't know how long it took, he felt the power of dragging, and this time he was sure that this force was dragging downward.
Then he woke up.
The extremely confused oil girl Tetsumaru listened to the nurse explain her condition, her skull was cracked, and her legs, right hand and ribs were fractured in a total of seven places, and everything else was fine.
What a ghost, there's something wrong with my soul, but I can't tell.
When the medical ninja asked him what other questions he had, the oil girl Tetsumaru could only shake her head, how dare she say it?
If you really say it, either no one believes it and is treated as a psychopath, or someone believes it and is treated as an experiment.
Like crossing, the sea of souls is also a secret that can only be buried deep in the heart, and everything can only be explored by yourself.
A few days later, Captain Ueno came to bid farewell to his only subordinate, and the oil girl Tetsumaru was in stable but incurable condition, and he would return to Konoha Village with hundreds of other seriously wounded to temporarily escape the war.
Captain Ueno regretfully complained that his squad was about to be rebuilt again, and Tetsumaru would definitely be promoted to Zhongnin when he returned to the village to recover from his injuries this time, and he was not able to survive the two newcomers, and he died in the final explosion of human pillar power.
The envious saliva of the oil girl Tetsumaru flowed out, Captain Ueno is really a top lucky star, such a big scene, the upper ninja has been lying down for several times, and one middle ninja was burned off a handful of hair in the end, which is outrageous.
I feel that the forbearance in the promotion is too great, and there is no longer a god of luck to cover.
After a long journey of fifteen days, the oil girl Tetsumaru returned to Konoha Village.
……
In the Sea of Souls, the Oil Girl Iron Pill in the state of the ball of light cannot be sealed, but it is more convenient to construct the Chakra rune, and the rune urges the operation of the technique.
Ninjutsu doppelganger
The light ball oil girl iron pill separated the second ball of light, but unfortunately it was a fake ball of light with only light effect, and it didn't take long to dissipate.
The oil girl Tetsumaru reminisced about the experience of the doppelganger technique for a while, and then turned her gaze to "up", and in the extreme darkness in the distance of the Sea of Light, the stars shimmered like a bright night sky.
After looking at the starry sky of the sea of light for a while, the oil girl Iron Pill sank into her consciousness and took the initiative to fall downward, and then she came to her senses in reality.
Half a month after returning to Konoha for half a month, the oil girl Iron Pill was basically healed.
Although it takes 100 days to break the muscles and bones, it is definitely not needed for ninjas, and "minor injuries" such as the fractures of the Vortex Thousand Hands are only three or five days.
The parasites of the oil girl's family can help fix the bones, carry nutrients, and even secrete hormones on the wound to stimulate bone growth, so the oil girl iron pill only took thirty days to recover her health.
Despite being cured, his mother forbade him to cultivate, and while the oil girl Kazukaze and the oil girl Tetsumaru father and son were sent to the front line of the Land of Water and the front line of the Land of Rain, respectively, the oil girl Aiko stayed in the village.
It is the default rule of Konoha Village that all members of a ninja family cannot be sent to the front line, firstly, to avoid an extremely tragic situation such as extinction, and secondly, to reserve a fighting force for the village to use in case of emergency.
When the oil girl Tetsumaru is seriously injured and returns to the village, the oil girl Aiko happens to take leave to take care of her son.
The idle oil girl iron pill with itchy bones all over her body rebelled, and worked the battlefield for more than half a year, but the hard life greatly promoted the development of the oil girl iron pill, with a height of 171 cm and a weight of 62 kg, for a boy who was about to be eleven years old, it was overdeveloped.
However, the oil girl Aiko, who is only 1.5 meters tall, launched a stunt, and she used tears to nourish Iron Pill's face, and Iron Pill lost in seconds.
The oil girl Iron Pill can only sleep lazily, take a walk, and read a book every day.
If you walk through the streets of Konoha, you can clearly feel the change.
After the start of the war, Konoha Village prospered rapidly, and a large amount of military expenditure was injected into Konoha Village from the national capital, and then exchanged for a large amount of food, materials, weapons, cutting tools, medicinal materials, cloth, paper, and all other materials that could be used for war.
At the same time, a large number of high-level missions released during the war generated a huge amount of mission bonuses, in addition to maintaining the consumption of ninjas on the front line, a large amount of money was also sent back to Konoha Village, and the ninja family had a lot of money on hand.
As a result, merchants from the Land of Fire and neighboring countries were attracted to bring in all sorts of goods to sell in exchange for high profits. The merchants made a lot of money, and the ordinary residents also had a considerable income through hired labor, and they also began to consume, which further stimulated the economy of Konoha Village.
It's really ruthless, so the oil girl Iron Pill went to see the insect field, helped harvest ant candy and insect wax, and the only job she could do was to buy ingredients and then cook.
Cooking is the most important chore in the family, and since Tetsumaru was six years old, the mistress of the oil girl's house has not been cooking for many years.
Her cooking skills have deteriorated from being cooked to not necessarily cooked, but certainly unpalatable.
During the expedition of her son and husband, the oil girl Aiko was broken by her cooking skills, so she had to eat in the hospital canteen and takeout, or go to the restaurant.
So after Tetsumaru regained his health, the first activity he was allowed to do was not walking, but cooking.
After dinner, I walked with my mother, chatted with relatives, and finally washed up and went to bed.
After getting into bed, the oil girl Tetsumaru started another busy.
Since being hit into the Sea of Souls by Kato's broken soul, the oil girl Tetsumaru has mastered the skill of taking the initiative to enter and exit, so he enters every night to explore this novel world.
Because there is a feeling of floating when you come to the sea of souls, and there is a strong feeling of dragging down when you leave and return to the body, so the oil girl iron pill calls it login and offline.
After dozens of explorations, I have mastered some of the situations of the Sea of Souls:
The sea of souls is divided into upper and lower levels, with starlight on the top and black mist below.
The ball of light often cracks, dims, and falls downward into a black fog, perhaps representing death; Correspondingly, small balls of light continue to rise from the black mist below, and then gradually grow, presumably representing new life.
The balls of light in the Sea of Souls are large and small, slightly different in color, and different in height.
Most of the soul orbs were located in two levels with a height difference, as Tetsumaru himself was in the higher of them, and he guessed that this was due to the difference in chakra power.
In a higher position, there were hundreds of large balls of light, and through the comparison of the doppelganger balls, Tetsumaru found that the smaller ones were ten times larger than himself.
At a higher position, even at a height that the doppelganger light ball could not reach at all, there were more than a dozen giant light balls.
These giant orbs of light were divided into four groups, and the characteristics were so obvious that the oil girl Tetsumaru was able to guess based on his memory.
The largest height is also the highest dark golden ball of light, the light is dim, and eighty percent is the sealed Kaguyahime.
The second largest white ball of light exists alone, and it is guessed that it is the slug immortal with the greatest likelihood.
The third largest yellow ball of light is accompanied by five giant balls of light with two large and three small, which may be of the toad immortal family.
The last blue-green ball of light was accompanied by three large and three small giant balls of light, which should be the first vein of the Dragon Earth Cave.
But there are still several balls of light, and the oil girl Tetsumaru can't guess who it is at all.
The most puzzling thing is that in the black mist below the soul sea, there is a faint giant spherical outline, and there is more than one, perhaps among them are six immortal brothers.
On top of that, the sea of souls is able to mobilize chakra.
The oil girl iron pill can spray chakra to turn around at will, but no matter how hard she squirts, her position cannot move the slightest.
Oil Girl Iron Pill can also construct ninjutsu through runes, but only the transformation technique and the clone technique have actual effects. Transfiguration can change its own color, and clone can duplicate a transparent ball of light and blow it away with a chakra.
He constantly uses the clone technique, and then uses the chakra to blow out the replica balls of light, trying to gain more information by hitting other balls of light.
It's a pity that the doppelganger ball of light is too fragile and will disintegrate if it can't fly far, and even if it is occasionally destroyed by collisions, it will not affect the target at all, and there will be no feedback.
This kind of unattainable situation made the curiosity of the oil girl iron pill explode.
He desperately wanted to get an advanced version of the doppelganger technique, the shadow doppelganger technique, a B-level ninjutsu. Not only are the shadow clones stronger, but they can also return to their memories after being broken, which is too precious.
……
Under the sun at ten o'clock in the morning, the oil girl Tetsumaru got up lazily and went out slowly, buying ingredients for lunch and dinner first, and buying a large number of insect food by the way.
When I got home, I made lunch, ate my own portion first, then packed a bento and carried it to the hospital for my mother.
was teased by the aunt, aunt, and young lady in the hospital, and the oil girl iron pill couldn't parry, and the counterattack was ineffective, so she could only send a lunch box in a panic and escape as soon as possible.
Launching a counterattack on this kind of thing requires hardware support, although he is a tall man, but after all, he is only eleven years old, and there is still a long time before his real development.
Leaving the hospital, the oil girl iron pill was ready to go to the big purchase in the afternoon, and it was not only insect food that was consumed to cultivate insects, but also charcoal, metals, potions, and glassware were all bulk consumables.
There are several insects in the oil girl iron pill that have a particularly high demand for metal, such as flying locusts, self-exploding beetles, armored beetles, etc., and the shell is metal, so you have to buy a lot of metal.
"Purchase limit?!"
"Yes, the wartime ban issued by Hokage-sama must be followed by ninjas who are not on the front line. My lord, you are a shinobi, and in the village, you can only buy 5 kunai, or 5 kilograms of metal materials every month. ”
The oil girl Iron Pill was stunned, his plan was to buy 100 kilograms of iron, 20 kilograms of copper, lead, tin, zinc, etc., which would add up to five kilograms, and this was only ten days' consumption.
Ever since Sasuke led the entire clan to join Konoha in the Sarutobi clan, the Sarufei clan has monopolized the iron ore business in the Land of Fire. After Sarutobi became the Hokage, the Sarufei family further monopolized all metal materials, and there were many shops selling ninja equipment in Konoha, but metal materials could only be purchased through the Sarufei family.
Therefore, the Hokage-sama's issuance of purchase restrictions on metal materials will be very efficient, and the executors are all his clansmen.
There must be channels such as smuggling, but the Fire Nation is generally exporting metal materials and importing ninja weapons, and the amount of dark side channels cannot meet the demand, but the price increase is very likely to be unlimited.
NND, the Ape Fei clan is going to scrape my oil, I just don't know if the three generations are involved, hum, it's his fault that he didn't participate.
Let's go through the formal process first and try to apply for special purchase permissions, the oil girl iron pill has been thinking about it for a long time, and decided not to risk going to the dark side channel to buy it for the time being.
Oil Girl Tetsumaru wrote a letter of application detailing his fighting style, as well as the huge demand for metal materials and the necessity of this need, applying for a quota exemption permit.
After writing it, I found that it was too detailed, more than 18,000 words, Tetsumaru thought about it, and felt that it was unlikely that the three generations would have time to read it, and no matter how well it was written, it was nonsense, so I had to bother to reduce it to less than 1,000 words.
After writing the appeal, the oil girl Tetsumaru found out that as a shinobi, he did not have the right to surrender to the Hokage.
Only the upper shinobi in Konoha Village are qualified to express their opinions to the Hokage, and they have to go through the process and be reviewed by civilian ninjas. Only individuals named by the Hokage himself to grant privileges could skip the process, such as the red-haired girl in the village right now.
Elder Shiki, who was close to him, had long since retired, and his right to submit to the Hokage had been revoked.
And the oil girl family's upper ninja does not have privileges, and Daitetsumaru's submission can only be sent to the Hokage Building, and it is possible to be seen by the Hokage after layers of screening.
Not to mention that it will take dozens of days to complete the process, it is more likely that any civilian ninja decides that it is not important, and then throws it in the trash can, and there is no news from it.
If he is lucky enough to arrive at the Hokage's office, it will depend on whether Hokage-sama can see his oil girl Tetsumaru's combat power, and whether it is because he opened an opening.
No matter how low the probability is, the oil girl Tetsumaru still asks an oil girl to submit a letter on his behalf, and then think of other ways. For example, the comrades-in-arms who are recuperating from their wounds in the village, not every ninja needs so much metal, and they can pay for the amount they can't use.
It took many days to concentrate the purchase limit balance of his comrades-in-arms into his own hands, and he bought 107 kilograms of various metals, and the oil girl iron pill gave up.
It's too troublesome, the quota can't be circulated, you can only ask one by one, buy little by little, do you come once a month?
After a few more days, more purchase restrictions were issued, chemicals, medical agents, detonating charms, military ration pills, medical herbs, and even cloth were also restricted, and valuables such as glassware were not restricted, but no one was selling them on the market.
The oil girl iron pill is completely helpless, his combat power is supported by a large number of psychic insects, and the consumption of metal in the cultivation process is huge.
Take the locust with the most loss as an example, the shell of the head of the hard and sharp locust contains 40 grams of iron, and in the battle of human pillar force, as many as 540 locusts were lost at one time, which is more than 20 kilograms of iron.
From a certain point of view, the oil girl iron pill is similar to the future European Emperor every day, and her combat effectiveness is pinned on throwing money.
Well, now that money can't buy metal.
Three days later, the oil girl iron pill used up the last inventory, and in desperation, he finally remembered the three major skills inherited as a black-hearted red star rabbit: vegetable planting, copycat, and self-reliance.
The Oil Girl Iron Pill found the "Oil Girl Iron Pill's Insect Encyclopedia" again, and the total number of insects recorded so far has exceeded 20,000.
Affected by chakras and parasites, the unbelievably high rate of mutation of insects in the oily woodland, combined with a higher rate of elimination, has led to the replacement of insects at an exaggerated rate.
Before the ninja graduated from his studies, he found that more than 50 of the more than 600 kinds of insects originally recorded in the "Encyclopedia of Insects" did not exist.
For the purpose of preserving the genetic seeds, the oil girl Tetsumaru kept the bugs in her hut, a large glass box for each bug, and kept the number of reproduction to a minimum.
If the oil girl iron pill discovers the value of this insect, she will make great efforts to cultivate it and expand the population.
Or if some kind of insect proves that it has enough survivability and will not be eliminated, the oil girl iron pill will release it to make room for breeding.
After flipping through the "Encyclopedia of Insects", the oil girl iron pill circled several kinds of insects and began the experiment.
