Knowing that a traitorous ninja had discovered his traces, Shikamaru decided to leave here. He was not sure whether the three souls of the deceased had spread information about him to the black market during their lifetime. Although he was not afraid of enemies, he did not want to cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, he has long abandoned the hairstyle of the Nara clan that has been maintained for many years. Now he simply ties his long hair into a ponytail hanging down the back of his head with white cloth strips. He wears a kimono made of coarse cloth and a headband.
The wide hat makes it difficult to see the face.
In order to prevent being poisoned, Shikamaru didn't even spend money to buy food. He just picked up some things when passing by other people's houses or shops, and left some belongings. This also allowed him to try not to go to urban areas where people gathered.
.
Compared with the stable and prosperous Fire Country, the Land Country where Shikamaru is now can only be described as chaotic and disorderly. Neither the daimyo of the country nor Orochimaru, who founded the Sound Ninja Village, seems to be in the mood to manage this country and care about it.
The people's life and death, without a strong governing organization, coupled with the domineering lords and the increasingly poor situation, people have to use more radical means to find a way out, robbers, thieves, bandits..., and even cults, in this country
Crimes happen from time to time. For travelers who come from other places without protection, every local may become a criminal. Some criminal gangs are even composed of leftover ninjas from the former Ninja Village of Tianno Country. These people are very important to ninjas.
They are low-class characters, but to ordinary people, they are already unique warriors, and the people behind them are likely to have a close relationship with some local lords and officials.
Shikamaru stood quietly in the shadow where the firelight could not reach, watching a group of cult priests holding torches, wearing white robes and high hats, going to various houses to collect money, looking thoughtful.
This country has fallen into a state of sickness. The people are numb and poor. They are the oppressed at the bottom and have no ability to resist reality. Above them, some strong men who hold their own force are lawless, and those with power compete with each other.
Squeezing the rights of civilians, those religions and sects with so-called "mutual aid associations" all have this purpose. Above them, there are officials and nobles with military and formal governance rights.
They don't care or understand the life and death of the civilians below. For them, everything in this country belongs to the daimyo, and now the daimyo doesn't care about anything. Whether everything they do is good or bad, it doesn't matter.
, fighting for the interests of oneself and the family is fundamental. Many local criminal and cult gangs are related to them to some extent.
In fact, even if one or two officials want to manage, without sufficient organizational strength, they can only barely manage their own surrounding areas, and it will be difficult to supervise distant areas and lower-level units.
In Shikamaru's eyes, this country is now like a broken ship that is about to sink to the bottom of the sea. What everyone thinks about is not plugging the loopholes, but scrambling to dismantle the planks on the ship, hoping to survive and find another place when the crisis comes.
A big ship, as for ordinary people who don't have the ability or tools to remove the planks, they can only wait silently to die.
Shikamaru somewhat understood why Orochimaru would launch an aggressive war against the Country of Grass not long ago. Today, the Country of Fields has no value for Orochimaru to exploit. He disdains the petty little ones that criminal gangs compete for.
In order to gain profit, he brazenly launched wars and plundered various resources and ninjas. In his eyes, those ninjas from Tian Country who were living in the market were simply useless trash and were not even qualified to be guinea pigs.
"Maggot." Shikamaru looked at a tall man among the group of cult priests. As he practiced, his mind gradually became round and crystal clear as a whole. His heart was pure and flawless, and his intuition became sharper. He could even see through the illusion of some things and understand the essence.
, he could feel the hostility and danger of the outside world even more. At this time, even though he was far away, without too much observation, Shikamaru could find that the man had chakra that was far stronger than that of his surrounding accomplices and ordinary people.
Seeing a group of people walking towards his direction, Shikamaru stopped observing and turned around to escape into the darkness. He gestured to form a seal, escaped through the space, and came to his hiding place.
"Yin and Yang..." After Shikamaru returned to the hiding place, he did not immediately immerse himself in fighting the eight-tailed bull. Instead, he crawled in front of the window, unconsciously playing with the "Shadow Show" in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
middle.
Tailed beasts are actually composed of energy from the Sage of Six Paths and have no physical body, but they are indeed growing and can fight like real bodies, making them lifelike.
On the contrary, they can also be turned into lumps of disembodied chakra, which can be re-condensed into a physical form when needed. Even after being killed and torn into pieces, they can still recover their bodies under the passage of time.
How is this achieved? Let the energy survive as a physical entity and fight without desire?
Shikamaru can rely on "Kage Hide" to store mental energy and maintain it after being away from the body. However, if the storage of "Kage Hide" is lost, the mental energy will still not be able to leave his body, or it will require ** energy.
What is the role of containers?
Shikamaru wanted his chakra to be able to change freely without leaving his body. In this regard, he only had some original information in his mind as a reference for the new technique, including the tailed beast itself and Kato Dan's "Spiritual Transformation Technique"
, even Uzumaki Naruto's "Senjutsu. Wind Release. Spiral Shuriken".
In the original work, Kato Dan once relied on spiritual transformation to separate his spirit from his body, leave his body during the day, and fly on his own. Finally, he gave chakra to Tsunade, cured her injuries and replenished her chakra. It seems that this really represents one of the
Contains sufficient ** energy.
Thinking about this, Shikamaru walked to the bed, sat down cross-legged, and extracted the Eight-Tails Chakra from the seal in his lower abdomen, and then waves of dark red energy gradually enveloped Shikamaru's body.
Even if the Eight-Tails' devoured chakra was only a small amount, it seemed extremely huge to Shikamaru. His body was absorbing it all the time and transforming it into his own chakra, but the speed was still far behind.
Shikamaru opened his eyes and observed the chakra that enveloped his whole body. The chakra no longer had the influence of the Eight Tails. It was actually sexual energy, but it still faintly formed two horns on Shikamaru's head, and there was another chakra forming a tail behind him.
Swinging around.
When Shikamaru saw this, an idea flashed in his mind. He looked at the chakra that vaguely maintained the outline of the Eight-Tails, and murmured to himself: "It's strange to see them changing as they please."
Simply placing physical energy and mental energy together will only form ordinary chakra. The physical energy cannot protect the mental energy and is useless.
Shikamaru pondered, he needed the sealing power to complete this new technique, to form the mental energy and physical energy into a whole without intervening, especially the physical energy, which must protect the mental energy like a body.
As for dissipation.
The Bagua seal is a very clever sealing technique. Sealing the tailed beast is not even its limit. The Fourth Hokage, who has a deep understanding of this technique, even sealed the spiritual energy of himself and his wife together with the Nine-Tails in the original work.
Inside Uzumaki Naruto, it helps him tame the Nine-Tails. As long as it is slightly changed, it should be able to work.
A smile couldn't help but appear on Shikamaru's lips. Although it still needs practice to verify whether it is true or false and correct, at least there is a clue to it all!
…………
Shikamaru sat cross-legged on the hard wooden bed, his eyes closed and his expression calm.
For the past few days, he had been staying in his hiding place to develop new techniques, abandoning some foreign affairs, concentrating on thinking, and finally achieved something.
Two streams of jet black and light green energy gradually appeared on the surface of Shikamaru's body. The spiritual energy and sexual energy were intertwined with each other, but they were incompatible with each other. All of Shikamaru's spirits gradually converged into these two energies.
Above, as time passed, an increasingly strong sense of oppression permeated his spirit, as if he was wearing an iron coat with shackles on the outside, and his body was heavily bound.
He struggled hard, just like when he was reborn in the womb and struggled to climb towards the light.
Whoosh!
The light green physical energy and the dark spiritual energy gradually merged together, separated from Shikamaru's body, and formed a whole body with light golden light in front of him, turning into a human figure in the blink of an eye.
Except for the slightly transparent body and the pale golden light, the image of Shikamaru at this time is indistinguishable.
Shikamaru woke up from his trance and turned around to look behind him. What came into his eyes was "his" body sitting cross-legged. His breathing was weak, his face was calm, and his body was motionless, as if he was in a deep sleep.
Shikamaru walked slowly around, but did not dare to stay too far away from his body. He could clearly feel the connection between himself and the body, and the movements continued to consume extremely weak energy. His heart moved,
The body became more and more transparent, and the whole person suddenly floated in the air, and then rushed downwards, and disappeared into the ground. After a while, he emerged from the ground not far away.
After wandering like this for a long time, Shikamaru's body gradually became more solid, turning void into reality. He took out a kunai from his physical ninja tool bag and opened his left palm with a deep thought.
laugh!
Kunai scratched an astonishing wound on his palm without any effort, but it slowly healed. Shikamaru frowned slightly. He could feel that the energy consumption just now was much faster. In other words, although
In his current state, he can ignore physical attacks, but there is a limit to the number of times he can do so.
Shikamaru controlled the energy body to move around the room for a long time, then slowly returned to the body. After a while, he groaned and woke up.
One moment, he could fly freely in mid-air, shuttle objects into nothingness, and the next moment, he could enter the mortal world again. This actually made Shikamaru feel a little disappointed, but he quickly gave up the idea.
This technique is not yet perfect, not to mention that his learning of Yang Release has just begun. The reason why the tailed beasts cannot be completely killed may be the power of the Ten Tails themselves, but they have grown from the young form when they were first born.
time form, indicating that they are indeed relying on some kind of energy to enhance their strength. Uzumaki Naruto's "Senjutsu. Wind Release. Spiral Shuriken" can separate from the body to carry out long-range attacks, also because of the replenishment and replenishment of natural energy in the process.
To maintain this ninjutsu, which Shikamaru named "The Lord of the Sky", he had high hopes. In its complete state, it probably requires the integration of spiritual energy, physical energy and natural energy to form a self-sufficient, unstoppable system.
No matter how rigid the physical body is, it is similar to the existence of a tailed beast!
