It didn't take Shiraishi long to deal with the curse marks on the modified experimental subjects in the cell.

Although the power that Orochimaru left on the curse seal is strange and powerful, even high-level sealing techniques cannot completely suppress such a will that can continuously regenerate enough. People lament that its vitality is huge, and it is as difficult to deal with as an immortal cockroach...

...But this seems not enough in front of Shiraishi, who has begun to touch the source of chakra.

Jutsu comes from Chakra and also from Indian style, and these two crucial things that constitute "jutsu" are exactly the areas that Shiraishi has been exploring so far. If Orochimaru's understanding of power is still limited to

As for the level of 'technique', then Shiraishi's mastery of power is deeper than 'technique'.

And the curse seal is just a kind of ‘skill’.

As long as the basis of the 'skill' does not change, for Shiraishi, it is just boring to repeat the same process over and over again after knowing the answer in advance.

After removing the curse seal from the last person, Shiraishi retracted his palm. Although it was just a repeated process, it also consumed a lot of Shiraishi's energy and made his forehead start to sweat.

"Is everything solved?"

After Shiraishi came out of the room, Kakashi glanced inside the room. Everyone who had fallen into a coma due to the loss of the curse seal then put together the book "Intimate Paradise" that he had read countless times.

He turned to Shiraishi and asked.

Shiraishi nodded, and glanced slightly at the unconscious people in the room, then sighed and said: "It's okay. They have accepted Orochimaru's living transformation, and their mental and physical strength will be stronger than ordinary people. They will probably be able to do it tonight."

Will wake up."

In terms of results, these people have acquired the basic abilities to survive in troubled times, but in terms of the process, these people are just lucky wretches.

Orochimaru's human experiment was no different from Konoha's roots. Although the experimental results were shocking, the fatality rate of the process was extremely high.

In the past, Roots concentrated resources to conduct wood escape experiments, which consumed at least hundreds of experimental subjects.

Ninjas, civilians, old people, women, men, and newborn babies... But in the end, only Tenzo from Konoha ANBU survived, becoming an unfortunate and lucky individual.

Unfortunately, in the infant stage, he went through cruel human experiments with a near-death experience. Fortunately, the other party was the only successful example.

The rest of the experimental subjects, without exception, became a pile of bones that no one cared about, buried in the bottomless darkness.

Orochimaru's human experiments are also similar to those of Gen. Ninjas, civilians, men, women, and children. Anyone who can bring benefits will be accepted.

And Orochimaru only needs to pay a little bit of food to give them the basic ability to survive without letting them die, and he can obtain endless experimental materials.

Even so, most of them, who were consumed as experimental subjects, regarded Orochimaru as 'sacred' and the savior who saved them from suffering.

There are a total of eleven people in this cell. If the survival rate of living body modification is one tenth, or even lower, it means that they are the unfortunate ones who are lucky enough to survive among hundreds of people.

For several of them, Shiraishi could tell that their body structures were deformed and had a tendency to turn into beasts. They were transformed into unknown abnormal creatures. Their natural life span may be only 30% of that of normal humans.

"What a terrible world."

Taking a breath, Shiraishi spoke from the bottom of his heart.

"Do you feel guilty?"

Kakashi asked.

He knew that the Demon Country had used its international influence in recent years to trigger civil wars in many countries. Maybe among the people who took refuge in Orochimaru, there were people who had to flee to other countries to avoid the civil war.

"No, it's a bit cruel to say this, but there are limits to what I can do, and there are also limits to what the Ghost Country can do. This is something that cannot be achieved immediately with just slogans and ideals. Peace

, is an eternal war.”

Therefore, Shiraishi never talks about words like peace and justice.

Fighting exists in human nature. As long as this nature persists, wars between people and countries will never be eliminated.

No matter how loud the slogans are, how high-sounding the ideals are, in essence, it is an action to eliminate dissidents. Keep those who agree with your own ideas, and treat those who do not agree with your ideas as garbage.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

And in such a process, no matter how careful and meticulous it is, there will be an existence like a 'sacrifice'.

All he can do is keep this number as low as possible.

"Yes, no matter how many times you see such victims, you will feel that the world is hopeless."

Kakashi doesn't claim to be a savior either.

Human beings can only save themselves and cannot rely on others to be saved.

The only one who can save yourself is yourself.

But in the process of self-rescue, fragile humans are often destroyed by powerful external forces.

Reality is so cold.

"So, how to arrange them next? We can't stay here for too long."

Kakashi asked the most critical question.

These experimental subjects who have been transformed by Orochimaru's living body have no connection with normal humans.

In addition, they have been isolated from the outside world for a long time, and there is no way to integrate into the human world by themselves.

If you let them go, they will only fend for themselves.

"I have dispatched an action team from the Kingdom of Ghosts and are on their way here. I will negotiate with the Daimyo of Tano Country in accordance with diplomatic regulations and will extradite these people to the Country of Ghosts for recuperation."

Shiraishi can help them clear up their stubborn physical illnesses over time and restore their bodies to normal humans, but the psychological trauma may last a lifetime.

Allowing these people to flow freely into the human community would be a very terrifying hidden danger for ordinary people.

Moreover, Shiraishi also adheres to the idea of ​​​​saving people to the end. Since he decided to intervene, he naturally cannot give up on this matter halfway.

He does not have the ability to save everyone, but if he only relocates dozens or hundreds of people, it will not be a problem, and it will not bring obvious political and economic burdens to the ghost country.

If hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people were relocated, Shiraishi would really have to seriously consider whether it would put heavy pressure on the Kingdom of Ghosts.

However, such a large-scale population transfer will not occur unless a long-term ninja war breaks out or an uncontrollable natural disaster occurs. Otherwise, there will not be such a huge population flow in the ninja world.

Kakashi nodded, understanding Shiraishi's thoughts.

"It seems that I still need to stay in Tian Country for a while."

He stated that he would stay in Tian Country for the time being, to protect these people, and then contact the diplomatic mission from the Kingdom of Demon to Tian Country, and lead these experimental subjects oppressed by Orochimaru back to the Kingdom of Demon.

"As long as you are here, I will feel relieved. But do you have enough manpower here?"

Shiraishi had doubts.

"There are a few handymen, but Shuimu's side has a lot of manpower. He has basically conquered the people in a stronghold, and he can be asked to help when the time comes."

Kakashi thought for a moment and asked Mizuki to help him. This also gave him a chance to rise.

"That guy? His performance is indeed good. In this case, you will have full command of him from now on. When the matter is completed, I will remember him."

Shiraishi thought about it and agreed to Kakashi's plan, making Kakashi Mizuki's immediate superior and leading him directly.

In terms of status, Mizuki is also a veteran cadre with considerable qualifications in his hands. He is a talented person he discovered when he was still in Konoha. However, he really conquered him for his own use only after he left Konoha and he was promoted to

For what happened after becoming a chuunin.

Although Mizuki's talent as a ninja is average, he is quite talented in personnel management. Moreover, he has a strong desire to perform and can seize opportunities for promotion. He is a highly motivated and ambitious person.

man.

"I may have foreseen the sinister smile that guy is about to show."

Kakashi said this.

"However, I heard that he has a fiancée who is a skilled medical ninja... You have been running around outside these years, have you considered starting a family? Mr. Sakumo is under Jiuquan, and he probably doesn't want to see the Hatake family die.

"

Shiraishi patted Kakashi on the shoulder and joked seriously in the tone of an elder.

Kakashi shrugged helplessly, feeling that Shiraishi's topic was a bit too exciting.

"Well... I haven't met the girl I like yet."

"Do you need me to introduce you? I have a lot of information about princesses from various countries, and they are at the age of getting married."

"……let's discuss it later."

Kakashi replied dully.

Shiraishi stopped mentioning it.

"Then I'll go to the next stronghold. You can just send someone over to receive it then."

After saying that, Shiraishi said goodbye to Kakashi and headed to the next stronghold, preparing to deal with the curse marks on the transformed experimental subjects there to avoid future troubles.

◎

The mission of returning to Konoha and arresting Orochimaru can be said to have ended in complete failure.

In the Hokage's office, Jiraiya and Tenzo gave a report to Tsunade.

"...That's what happened. Uchiha Sasuke was taken away by Chiba Shiraishi. As for Orochimaru, he should be dead. But specifically, it was Uchiha Sasuke, Chiba Shiraishi, or the two of them jointly killed him.

Orochimaru is unknown."

Jiraiya's voice became stiff and seemed a little difficult to speak. For him, this was undoubtedly a failed experience.

Especially knowing that Orochimaru is likely to die, his mood becomes even more complicated.
