"Tatsuma, you should be more focused, with your talent, it is not difficult to learn the Immortal Mode, but you are always stuck in the last step."

In the wet bone forest, Tatsuma who was only wearing shorts sat on the coral reef, and next to him was a much smaller phyto, which was able to control his body shape freely, and at this time, it was also to make it easier to communicate with Tatsuma.

Seeing that Chenma opened his eyes again, his eyes were still full of spirit and thought, and Zhiyu said: "For other people who practice the immortal mode, the most difficult thing is to calm down, but you are different.

You enjoy this kind of quietness so much that you like to immerse yourself in the world of a person, but the tranquility of the immortal mode is something that even "I" needs to be abandoned, and you can't do that

You will never be able to enter the perfect immortal mode without the help of external forces. ”

"I understand."

Tatsuma nodded, picked up the towel on the side, and wiped his body, he was very thin now, so thin that his muscles were completely stretched, which was the sequelae of dehydration in the imperfect immortal mode.

More than a year ago, since the intelligence work of the Water Country was on the right track, Tatsuma had taken a lot of time to come to the Wet Bone Forest to practice the Immortal Mode.

His cultivation process was very smooth, and within a week, he could freely enter the almost perfect immortal mode in the water, without too many attempts, and was able to balance the energy in his body extremely quickly.

After that, it is time to try to enter the Immortal Mode in a place where there is no high concentration of natural energy, which is one more step than practicing the Immortal Mode in the water of the Wet Bone Forest, that is, to realize and attract the natural energy.

But at this step, he was seriously frustrated, he could quickly calm down, not arrogant or impatient, and his excellent perception talent also allowed him to quickly perceive the natural energy free in the air.

But his brain can hardly stop thinking, even if it is calm enough, the brain will think about things that do not cause mood swings, and the brain, which is far more developed than others, does not seem to have a stop button.

In this case, his body and mind are far from being able to agree with nature, allowing natural energy to actively approach him, and can only be passively attracted by him, which makes his immortal mode always imperfect.

Almost every time he broke away from the Immortal Mode state, he lost three to five kilograms of weight, and unlike the frog petrification of Myomu Mountain or the serpentinization of the Dragon Cave, the consequence of the Imperfect Immortal Mode in the Wet Bone Forest was severe dehydration.

In severe cases, it can even become a dried corpse.

However, in the past year or so, he has not gained nothing, he has learned a lot of immortal methods in the Wet Bone Forest, and at the same time, the work of the dark department has not fallen behind, after all, he has a large family to support.

It's just that they can't achieve the perfect immortal mode, whether it's the guide of Zhihe, or Tatsuma himself, they all feel extremely uncomfortable, they all have a slight . Obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, even if Tatsuma uses the imperfect immortal mode, it will not affect the battle, because it takes time for the body to become dehydrated, and it will take about ten minutes for his body to be dehydrated to the point of weakness and affecting the state.

But his chakra amount can't support him to fight in immortal mode for more than ten minutes, that is to say, long before his body is dehydrated to the danger line, Tatsuma will be forced to quit immortal mode a long time ago.

It's just very unpleasant, obviously only one step away.

Looking at Chenma, who was wiping his body and couldn't stop thinking, Zhiyu said: "Otherwise, you can also learn what you said about Jiraiya, and temporarily let go of the things you are carrying, maybe you can find the real "quietness". ”

"No, you don't."

Tatsuma shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm not in a problem with my mentality, but that the guiding ideology for dealing with things is different from the guiding ideology required for the Immortal Mode.

The guiding ideology required for the immortal mode is nothing more than the four states of mind, the joy of rebirth, the joy of rebirth, the joy of separation, and the purity of the mind of renunciation, and only when the mind of renunciation is pure, can we enter the most perfect mode of the immortal. ”

Hearing Tatsuma say this, Zhiyu pondered for a moment, and then shook his huge head up and down, and even a little happy, because someone could finally sum it up.

But Chenma, who summed up these, why can't he "sacrifice his thoughts and purity"? Just as she was about to ask a question, Tatsuma continued:

"The guiding ideology that I recognize and practice is to know and then have a certainty, to be quiet and then to be quiet, to be quiet and then to be at peace, to be at peace and then to be able to think, and then to be able to get after thinking, after stopping, qualitative, meditating, and calming the nerves, I began to think.

I can't be still for the sake of being still, I can only be still for the sake of moving. And this more than a year of peace and then can think about it, and it has indeed made me figure out a lot of things, as far as I am concerned, I think the value is not inferior to the immortal model.

In the case of gains, it is difficult for me to dismiss or deny my guiding ideology to let you down, plant and heal. ”

"It's okay, Tatsuma, you're still young, maybe you will have a different state of mind if you change your age, you are the most talented person I have ever met, maybe you can even develop an immortal mode that is more suitable for you."

Zhiyu's tone was still gentle, she knew that Tatsuma was an assertive person and a smart person, since Tatsuma himself had discovered the crux of the problem, then let him solve it himself.

Tatsuma stood up, picked up the clothes that hung casually beside her, and put them on one by one, Uzumaki Mito had been dead for more than two years, but the habits she had left for the others had not changed.

Tatsuma still goes to customize some clothes every quarter, and they are all wide robes and big sleeves that Uzumaki Mito will be satisfied with, and they are neatly dressed, and Tatsuma says goodbye to Zhihe.

Back in Konoha, Tatsuma went straight to the ramen restaurant, but it wasn't time to eat yet, and he didn't have anything to eat when he got home.

"Boss, tonkotsu ramen, add two parts of noodles, two parts of barbecued pork, two eggs, two parts of vegetarian dishes, just one part of the soup base, and then add boiling water."

After ordering skillfully, Chenma found that there was an extra young man next to the ramen master, the boss nodded, saw Chenma's gaze, and said with a smile: "The new apprentice in the store, hand beating!" This is a regular customer of our store, Tatsuma Sakamoto. ”

Turning his head with a warm smile in his eyes, Tatsuma looked at him for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses and nodded, and the boss quickly put a large basin of ramen in front of Tatsuma.

This bowl was customized by the boss, and the bowl used by Chenma before was no longer enough, so he could only continue to increase it.

"Tatsuma, are you back?"

Just as Tatsuma was eating ramen, a surprised voice came from the door, and another voice made a dissatisfied nasal voice, Tatsuma nodded, the exhaustion caused by excessive dehydration made him too lazy to bother with people.

Mizumon pulled Kushina to sit next to Tatsuma, and Mizumon had already ended the mission of the Land of Thunder, but it was a little later than Tatsuma, not too late.

"Tatsuma, have you heard?"

Mizumon lowered his voice a little, and at the same time looked at the boss, who understood, and took hands into the kitchen to prepare the salt ramen that Mizuto and Kushina often ordered.

Tatsuma looked at Mizuto suspiciously, he had been away from Konoha for two weeks, and now he had just returned, and he hadn't had time to inquire about what had happened recently, and asked, "What makes you care so much?" ”

"Shuo Mao senior. Officially applied for retirement, and the waitlist he submitted was you. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ma was also stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said, "Aren't there still three team leaders?" ”

There are a total of four detachments in the dark department, one of which is the root, and the root is directly under the jurisdiction of the regiment, so naturally there is no team leader, so under the minister of Qimu Shuomao, there are three team leaders.

And Qimu Shuomao retired from the dark department, the first substitute, it should be these three team leaders, last year Chen Ma had the qualifications to run for the captain of the sub-team, but he pushed it off himself in order to practice.

As for the position of the head of the dark department, Chen Ma doesn't have any ideas, after all, he still stays in the dark department, and the idea at this stage is that if he stays in the dark department, he doesn't need to be promoted to Shangnin.

After all, after being promoted to Shangnin, even if it is just a formality, he has to bring one or two lower ninjas, fill in his resume, and Chenma doesn't want to take children, after all, it will affect his own practice.

And in the same way, the promotion in the dark department will also occupy some of his time and energy, not to mention jumping to the position of the head of the dark department.

Mizuto explained, "Kakashi intends to participate in this year's Shinobi Assessment, and if he succeeds, he will have to break away from the original team, and Lord Sakumo should have the will to lead Kakashi in person."

And I heard, but I just heard that Danzo-sama is very dissatisfied with Hokage-sama, because Danzo-sama thinks that Hokage-sama deliberately "suppressed" you and prevented your promotion, and Hokage-sama also hopes to take this opportunity to wash away Danzo-sama's slander. ”

"Tsk! The two old guys have a conflict, what's the matter with pulling me as a pawn. ”

Tatsuma muttered dissatisfied, then sighed and said, "I'll find out." ”

At this time, Tatsuma suddenly felt that something was wrong with Kushina, if Shuimen had chatted with him for so long in the past, Kushina would have been furious, and Tatsuma looked at Kushina.

Finding that she wasn't mad, but her eyes were full of violence, Tatsuma's brows furrowed, and a feeling that something was wrong welled up in her heart.

Tatsuma retracted his eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but the relationship between him and Kushina had always been very poor, and if he said anything rashly, not only would it not have any effect, but it would even intensify the conflict.

At this moment, Watergate suddenly said: "By the way, Chenma, Jiu Xinnai's property has been repaired, we plan to invite some friends to come over for a gathering, it is estimated that there will be a party in a few days, can you spare time?" ”

Hearing this, Tatsuma nodded subconsciously, after all, he really needed an opportunity to understand Jiu Sinai now, but he quickly came back to his senses, showed a look of doubt, and asked:

"Isn't it just a house? More than a year under repair? I thought it was already done. ”

"At first, I thought it was just a house, but then I found out. Anyway, you'll know when you come. ”

Shuimen sold a pass, looked back at Jiu Sinai, the violence in Jiu Sinai's eyes disappeared instantly, and he regained the rare gentleness that he only had when facing Shuimen, Shuimen didn't notice, just said:

"Mr. Jiraiya, he will be back that day, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Hearing that the two people she didn't like the most in contact with Watergate were actually going to have a party on that day, Jiu Sinai pouted, and the red hair tail also fluttered faintly, but she still held back her dissatisfaction, shielded the nonsense of the stinky fox in her body, squeezed out a smile and said:

"Okay, I've got an appointment here, let's take some time to shop for the things we need for the party, right?"

"Hmm."

Seeing the affection between the two of them, and their eyes could be drawn, Chenma shivered, goosebumps rose, and he gulped down the remaining noodles, put the money on the table, and said:

"I'll go first, you eat slowly."

"Get out of here!"

Tatsuma didn't care about Kushina's last words, and left the ramen restaurant, he frowned, he had to go to Tsunade and Nonoyu to find out about Kushina's current situation.

After all, he is responsible for the stability of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, but Uzumaki Mito asked him before his death, Tatsuma will not sit back and watch her and the Nine-Tails in her body get out of control because of Kushina's offense with herself.

As for the matter of the retirement of the Hachiki Sakushige and the Minister of the Dark Department. Let's push it back, after being the head of the dark department for so many years, Qimu Shuomao wants to retire, but he can't complete the process so quickly.
