"Live slugs, can I take some of those trees back?"

"Lord Ma, please, these trees are useless to me."

Mian Ma walked through the forest of wet bones, looking for something around him that might be useful.

I walked to a mountain with live slugs and fragrant phosphorus, and then stopped.

There is a clear stream with fatty fish and a small vegetable patch next to it with some green vegetables.

In addition to this, there are dozens of small live slugs crawling slowly on several whitewood wooden huts, seemingly using their own slime to deal with bugs and stains on the wooden houses.

"This is a wooden house built by the contractor, and for convenience, vegetable patches and houses were built here to solve the problem of food and housing."

The live slug said.

However, Mian Ma looked at the "pool" next to the wooden house.

Inside was a pool of cloudy, milky liquid from which he felt a strong natural energy that had even condensed into a mist visible to the naked eye.

"Live slugs, what's that?"

"Regarding the information and intelligence of immortal arts, Lord Mianma should know something, right?"

Mian Ma nodded slightly, but did not answer, but looked at the little fragrant phosphorus held by the side.

Noticing the teacher's gaze, Xiao Xiangpho immediately reacted and replied without hesitation: "The so-called immortal art is to fuse the chakra cultivated by oneself with the natural energy absorbed by the outside world to form a unique immortal chakra system. Once the cultivation is successful, the immortal art can increase the illusion technique, ninjutsu, and body art by several times or even more than ten times. ”

"A concise and perfect summary answer, it seems that Lord Xiang Phosphorus has been taught professional immortal knowledge."

The living slug said with a little surprise in his gentle tone: "If you want to cultivate immortal arts, you must learn to perceive natural energy, but for humans with complex minds, it is very difficult to perceive natural energy, and some humans cannot reach the first stage of perceiving natural energy for more than ten years or decades. ”

The live slug understood the meaning of bringing fragrant phosphorus to the Wet Bone Forest, that is, he took a fancy to her talent and hoped that she could learn immortal arts, but since ancient times, more than 95% of the human beings who have come to the Wet Bone Forest to practice immortal arts have ended in failure.

"In other words, immortal art is something that is difficult to learn if you know the basic theory?"

"Yes."

The living slug nodded and said, "So when teaching humans to cultivate immortal arts, there are special ways to assist them in perceiving natural energy.

As he spoke, its tentacles pointed to the pool next to it and said, "This is the slug liquid I secrete, soaking it in it and applying it to the body, not only to treat injuries and drive away poison, but also to strengthen the perception of natural energy." ”

"Soak it, smear it? I understand. ”

Xiao Xiangpho nodded.

If nothing else, she will stay here for the next period of time to learn immortal arts.

However, Xiang Phosphorus was also a little impatient in his heart, wanting to officially enter the cultivation stage of immortal arts.

After all, this is "immortal art".

It seems that only the "Konoha Three Ninjas" in the entire ninja world have mastered this power.

Along with Tsunade and Orochimaru, who are the "Konoha Three Ninjas", they have not mastered the power of "immortal arts".

Looking at the pool where he couldn't see the boundary, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Can the slug liquid be taken outside for a long time to be stored?" ”

Heal injuries, exorcise poisons, and enhance the perception of natural energy......

This is a good thing to heal injuries and diseases, and to assist in spiritual practice!

"Sorry, no."

The live slug saw the numbness of his thoughts, shook his head and said: "The slug liquid is something that is transformed by natural energy through my body, just like the snake venom in Longdi Cave and the toad oil in Miaomu Mountain, it will soon lose its effect when it reaches the outside world. ”

"Moreover, if this kind of thing is used for a long time, it will also transform the human body into the body of a slug, and if you are not careful, you may also absorb too much natural energy and petrify."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiangpho's heart was suddenly shocked.

Transition to the body of a slug?

Do you become a slug?

Huh! Daba!

"That's a pity."

Mian Ma was not too disappointed.

This kind of good thing that can greatly reduce the casualty rate, if it can really be brought to the ninja world for human use, Tsunade is estimated to have been used by the Konoha ninja a long time ago.

However, a flash of thought flashed in his numb eyes.

"Slug liquid, toad oil, snake venom ......"

He had been thinking about why the immortal arts of "Miaomu Mountain" and "Dragon Land Cave" had the characteristics of frogification and serpentinization in the past.

Now it seems that it is not only because of the physical differences between toads, slugs, snakes and humans, but also because of the subtle influence of slug liquid, toad oil, snake venom, etc.

Fortunately, the live slug did not hide from the contractor like the White Snake Immortal and the Great Toad Immortal.

"What's the matter, Miao-sama?"

As if seeing the misgivings in the face of the numbness, the live slug assured softly: "Under my guidance, you don't have to worry about too serious slugs, and I won't cut corners like Toad Pill and White Snake." ”

Despite the fact that it had just signed a contract, it felt completely different from that of ordinary humans.

Be cautious and self-aware, knowing what to do, what not to do, what to do and what not to do.

Although the difficulty of learning immortal arts will become higher, the advantage is that the body will not appear too much abnormal.

But Mian Ma shook his head: "Since I have signed a contract with you, of course I will not doubt you anymore." ”

Now the live slugs are completely wiped out.

"What do you mean?"

Mian Ma didn't respond to its doubts, but looked at the slug stone statues.

"These must be the humans who have failed to practice immortal arts in the past thousand years."

“…… Yes, although I have tried my best to watch over them, there are still contractors who are greedy and do not listen to dissuasion. ”

There were less than ten of them, and they looked much less than the rows of toad statues in Myoki Mountain.

Unable to grasp the balance of natural energy in the body, so it is assimilated by the natural energy that pours into the body.

This is not the hands and feet of the three holy places, but the nature of the natural energy itself.

His brows furrowed, and he asked, "Slug, apart from your three holy lands, are there any other places that have immortal art inheritance?" ”

The live slug couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

After thinking for a long time, he responded: "A thousand years ago, there was indeed an immortal system that did not belong to the three holy lands, and there were human beings with a strong affinity for natural energy, but with the passage of time, I haven't heard of it for hundreds of years. ”

If not

“…… It's been there, that's it. ”

The numb eyes became gloomy and inexplicable.

He had already obtained the immortal cultivation system of Longdi Cave and Miaomu Mountain.

I didn't choose to cultivate for a long time, because I knew that there was a pit in it.

The immortal system of the Three Holy Lands may be suitable for frogs, snakes, and slugs, but it is likely to collide with the human body structure.

The body structure of frogs, snakes, and slugs is very different from that of humans.

In order to ensure that you can learn immortal arts, you will produce the corresponding biological characteristics.

"Slugification", "frogification", and "snakeification" are all tending to assimilate the body structure.

Despite this, mortality and failure rates are still very high.

It shows that the immortal system of the three holy places is not suitable for the human body system.

However, in a dark road, we must find a system of immortal arts suitable for human beings......

I'm afraid it won't be possible for decades.

After all, the structure of the human body is more complex and rich than that of frogs, snakes, and slugs, and the consequences of any mistake are unimaginable.

After hesitating for a moment, Mian Ma suddenly asked, "Live Slug, if you had to choose, where do you think it is most likely to retain the immortal inheritance that belongs to the human race?" ”

The live slug is an existence that has survived for thousands of years, and it is a living history book.

If even the "outsider" of the face hemp is not known, then only these living fossils may know.

After all, it's a complete real world.

Even if the original protagonist Naruto dies, even if he dies with a whirlpool face, the world will still go on as usual.

"If you have to choose......"

The slug's tentacles drooped, as if thinking with its head down.

After a moment, there was hesitation in his tone: "Perhaps, the country of ghosts is the place where there is the most likely place for the immortal art inheritance. ”

Hearing this answer, his face couldn't help but be stunned.

"Is it actually the country of ghosts?"

The only great powers in the ninja world are the country of fire, the country of earth, the country of water, the country of wind, and the country of thunder.

However, apart from them, not all small countries will be classified as neutrals.

For example, the country of rain, the country of rivers, and the country of grass...... Although these countries are small, they are still in danger of being destroyed by the big powers.

Only small countries with very remote locations and special significance, such as the Land of Snow, the Land of Iron, and the Land of Soup, can become neutral countries.

And the country of ghosts is also a member of the neutral country, and it is an extremely special existence.

Its ruling model is different from that of most countries in the ninja world.

Onitunokuni is a country that is not ruled by a daimyo.

The supreme ruler is not a daimyō, but an existence called a shrine maiden, which can be regarded as an outlier in the ninja world.

It is said that the shrine maiden, who holds the power of the Oni Country, has mysterious powers that can see through the future.

And he also has an unknown sealing technique, which can seal all kinds of demons and monsters that have been passed down from ancient times.

When he chose the location of Akatsuki, he also considered this mysterious country.

However, the shrine maiden's ability to foresee the future is too mysterious.

He even doubted that the essence of the ability to foresee was "substitutionary death".

And the country of ghosts is also sealed with the monster "Dragon", which is a symbiotic relationship between the ghost and the shrine maiden, and it is not as easy to deal with as the box of bliss.

Therefore, Mianma finally chose the country of soft persimmon snow as a station.

"I don't know much about the affairs of the Oni Country, but I know a little about the affairs of the Oni Country's ruler and the Shrine Maiden."

"Like Toadmaru, they have the mysterious power to predict the future, and they also have the duty and mission of guarding and sealing demons. ”

"Sealing demons is also one of the reasons why the country of ghosts has become a neutral country, and the ability of shrine maidens to predict the future is also widely spread in the country of ghosts and neighboring countries. Whenever you ask the nobles and commoners of the Oni Country, they will tell the inquirer that the shrine maiden's ability to predict the future is 100% accurate, and there has not been a single mistake so far. ”

"Maybe for others, this is just an after-dinner conversation, and there is no unified overview of whether it is true or false, but I know very well that the shrine maiden does have this ability."

"The most important thing is that they still retain the ancient sealing technique, and according to the way of casting the technique, it is not the "Nine-Character Talisman Method" derived from the Ninja Sect, so I think the shrine maiden may still retain the inheritance of immortal arts."

The shrine maiden of the Oni Country......

Still retains the ancient sealing?

Mian Ma also felt a burst of curiosity when he heard this.

The "Nine-Character Talisman Method" is the "seal" that ninjas need to perform ninjutsu today.

This method originated from the "Ninja Sect" created by the Six Dao Immortals, and was originally intended to make it easier for ordinary people to condense Chakra and mobilize Chakra to use ninjutsu for production activities.

Today, most of the knowledge and theories of sealing techniques in the ninja world originate from the Uzumaki clan.

If it is really like what the living slug said, the shrine maiden does not use the "nine-character talisman method", then it can only be a more ancient way of casting spells.

That is, the ancient period when the Otsuki Kaguya ruled.

Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but squint, and the light flickered.

The existence of natural energy and immortal arts is a power that belongs to the ninja world, and most people have never heard of it nowadays.

Even among the ninja community, only a very small percentage of people know about the energy of nature.

Even the Six Dao Immortals learned the Immortal Technique from the Great Toad Immortal.

In the end, with the blessing of immortal arts, he successfully sealed his mother, Otsuki Kaguya.

Thinking about it this way, there is only such an ancient ghost country where there is a possibility of immortal inheritance.

"Oni no Kuni Shrine Maiden? I understand. ”

A smile appeared on his face: "I will visit her when I go back." ”

"But, then again, is there anything taboo about that shrine maiden?"

"Taboo?"

The living slug thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of this, I only know her ability to see through the future, and she is very successful in predicting life and death." ”

“…… This ability is indeed a problem. ”

Mian Ma touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "The ability to see through the future, I don't know if I can see my future, I really want to see it." ”

The dragon vein, the great toad immortal, the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye of Izumi Uchiha, and the alien big barrel wood that I don't know exists......

Now there's another Oni no Kuni shrine maiden.

But everything that involves time is undoubtedly very powerful and mysterious, and it is easy to involve the so-called "fate".

It's like hating that old toad who pretends to be crazy and stupid, and he has always disliked these inexplicable things.

There was a bit of curiosity in the gentle voice of the living slug and asked, "Lord Mianma, aren't you worried that your future is a tragedy?" ”

】

Although it was the first time I saw it, it was not difficult to guess that the face of Ma was the one mentioned by Toadmaru, the son of destruction who would bring despair to the ninja world in the future.

Bringing despair to the entire ninja world means confronting the ninja world.

In the eyes of the living slug, it is absolutely impossible to do it alone, and the future of face numb is destined to fail and die.

"Living slugs, human beings are this kind of existence full of infinite possibilities......"

Mian Ma rubbed Xiao Xiangli's head on the side: "Everyone is constantly fighting in order to know the correct way to survive. ”

"What is it? Why fight? How to survive? ”

"No one can tell us what to say, we just run aimlessly."

"Until you find your purpose."

"Knowing that you can't do it, you will be brave if you succeed, and you will be extremely stupid if you lose, and we will be stubborn."
