"The current Sarutobi Hiruzen is still a shinobi hero, and he has a relatively accurate grasp of people's hearts. This time he challenges Sunagakure Village forcefully, and as long as word spreads, he can gain the loyalty of a large number of people.
And he also used the forbidden spells in the Book of Sealings to tie me up, tsk tsk...I have to say...it smells good."
Toneri returned to his laboratory, recalling the content of the ninjutsu 'Many-faced Subaha' in his mind, feeling a little sad in his heart.
This time he really showed some strength, maybe even he himself didn't know he could do it to such an extent.
Typically, you don’t know how strong you are until you push yourself.
Although there was help from the two tails, as jinchuriki, the tailed beasts should have been included in the calculation of strength.
If you don't count the power of the two-tails and the two-tails mode, Toneri's current strength should be between a special jounin and a jounin.
The jounin level is not so easy to reach. If it weren't for the maximum thunder escape chakra mode that he burst out at that time, he would not have been able to kill the jonin of Sunagakure Village.
Especially jounin and jōnin, although they can both be considered jōnin, there is still a big gap between them.
I created a shadow clone and asked it to ponder the 'Many-faceted Subaha', while I sat at the experimental table.
He used a syringe to remove an entire tube of his own blood from his arm.
To confirm again, Toneri looked at his right hand, shook it slightly, and a small thread of thunder and lightning surrounded it like silk.
"It's not an illusion. I can really generate thunder-attribute chakra freely now. Although compared to other attributes, the proportion of thunder-attribute chakra is very small. It may be necessary to use a C-level thunder escape.
Chakra, I can use it to perform an A-level earth escape.
But this is still something to be happy about. After all, the most difficult level is to add new chakra attributes to the body. The next step is to increase the degree of refining and use of thunder attribute chakra, and strive to achieve the same level as other chakras.
properties are the same."
I was making calculations silently in my mind.
She puts her hands together flatly in front of her chest, forming a "Shen" seal.
Among the twelve seals of all ninjas, the one that is most active in invoking thunder attribute chakra and evokes the most thunder attribute chakra is the 'Shen' seal.
After forming the seal, the chakra in the body begins to circulate regularly, especially the originally silent thunder attribute chakra.
He separated his hands, and a small ball of flashing lightning appeared between his hands.
Fine currents jumped back and forth on it, and from time to time there was a sound of thunder and lightning.
"The lightning attribute is indeed the most troublesome attribute to change its form and properties among all attributes. Even if it is just this small, it is not easy to control.
However, this amount is too small. It seems that I still don't know enough about myself. The amount of thunder attribute chakra is less than I imagined, and it is far different from the amount stored in the thunder ring.
.”
Talking to himself, he directed the thunder chakra ball in his hand toward the thunder ring on his finger.
"Seal of evil, open!"
After the small thunder ball was incorporated into the thunder ring, there seemed to be no ripples.
However, the word "Thunder" on the originally dimmed Thunder Ring lit up again. A fine current was transmitted from the ring, and a numbing feeling quickly spread throughout the body.
"It still feels good when there is electric current stimulation. After more than a year of continuous stimulation, I feel that my whole body feels weak without electricity."
Having said that, Toneri found that after the last large current stimulation, he not only awakened part of the thunder attribute chakra, but his entire body became accustomed to the stimulation of thunder and lightning.
That is to say, the stronger the adaptability to lightning becomes, the stronger the lightning stimulation it can accept.
"The seal of all things is broken!"
After the words fell, a lump of ugly-looking sarcoma fell from the ring, lying quietly on the ground as if it had lost any movement.
With a look of helplessness on his face, he threw out a flame and burned the lump of flesh.
Then he opened the expanded culture room in the laboratory, and a large number of meat balls that were almost identical to the ones before were neatly displayed in it. He picked up a ball and sealed it into the thunder ring again.
All of a sudden, the Thunder Ring, which was not fully lit up at first, has returned to its original state.
"Ah, it's comfortable——"
When the stimulation of thunder and lightning was released to a degree that he could bear, Toneri exhaled a long, slightly gray breath, squinted his eyes and shouted.
"However, as the amount of stimulating lightning increases, the time that the thunder-attribute chakra stored in the thunder ring can last even shorter is shorter. It used to last for half a month with each replacement, but now it seems that it can last for half a month.
It's good to stick to it for a week.
We still have to find a way to solve this charging problem. It is so troublesome every time, and we have to waste resources on cultivating cells.
Although the chakra of the thunder attribute has been awakened, there is still a long way to go before it can be used self-sufficiently in thunder and lightning forging..."
Sheren kept sighing in his heart.
The effect of the Pseudo-Thunder Chakra Mode is quite good. Considering that his body has not yet begun to develop at this time, the activity of cells is not that of an ordinary jounin, and the overall strength of the taijutsu can be considered to be barely touching that of a jounin.
The threshold, when you really reach the jounin threshold, you can apply for a special jounin position.
When he truly enters the growth stage, his body's strength will undergo a qualitative transformation.
So as strong as you can be now, just try to push yourself to the limit.
"As the body becomes more adaptable to lightning, and the cells become more receptive to lightning, the amount of lightning-attribute chakra that can be extracted from the cells will definitely increase."
After reluctantly settling the matter of thunder and lightning body forging and thunder attribute chakra, Toneri still had one more important thing to do.
Narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a moment, a ball of blue and black chakra appeared on his body.
After the energy contained in the chakra ball reaches a certain amount, the chakra ball turns into the shape of a kitten.
Two tails.
After Toneri and the Two-Tails become more compatible, there is no need to go through cumbersome psychic techniques to summon it. Even if the Two-Tails is willing, it can remove half of its chakra from Toneri's body.
Be materialized.
But it can be considered as getting used to this way of getting along with Sheren.
Toneri smiled and gently stroked Xiao Erwei's soft hair.
Although Little Erwei turned his head away and didn't want to look at Toneri, the expression of his eyes squinting comfortably betrayed his true inner thoughts.
The smile on his face became even bigger.
Even after being together for such a long time, Erwei still looks arrogant, but she no longer resists Toneri's unscrupulous touch.
I don't know if it's because it knows that resistance is futile, or because it feels comfortable being touched like this.
"Little Tsundere, the technique we have been pursuing has finally been achieved!"
Hearing this, Xiao Erwei's expression became serious, and there was a hint of hope in his eyes.
"But this technique is not simple and needs to be carefully considered. Anyway, we are not short of it in a day or two.
And before that, we must first confirm Xiaolan’s condition, its changes, and whether it can grow smoothly, which is also very important to our plan.”
Shiren continued:
"Are you sure there is no problem with Kato Dan's soul temporarily being placed in Xiaolan's body?
This can’t be wrong, if I have the ability in the future, I won’t mind rescuing him.”
In the ninja world, there are actually many secret techniques and even forbidden techniques that can bring the dead back to life. For example, the forbidden technique "Reincarnation in the Earth" developed by the Second Hokage requires only collecting some related things from the deceased and then using them.
By making a living sacrifice, the person you want to summon can be summoned from the world of the dead.
This is also the most typical forbidden art among the last type of people who are channeling when Orochimaru tells him about the art of channeling.
However, desecrating the soul of the deceased is an unacceptable taboo for most people.
In addition to the reincarnation of the dirty land, there is also Chiyo of Sunagakure Village. She will develop forbidden medical ninjutsu, reincarnate her own life, and sacrifice herself to resurrect the dead.
But these two forbidden techniques are not within the scope of Toneri's consideration.
If everything goes well, there should be a person named Pain in the future, who is actually Jiraiya's disciple Nagato, the owner of the Samsara Eye, who will use a technique called 'Heterogeneous Reincarnation Technique',
It can resurrect the dead around the caster, and this is a true resurrection.
Even if things change in the future because of his existence, Toneri has left some of Kato Dan's body cells, and even the reincarnation of the filth can resurrect him.
"No problem. You already know the existence of yin and yang chakra. The feminine soul resides in Xiao Lan's body, which is filled with yin chakra. There are only benefits to him and no harm to him.
Moreover, the spirituality filled in the human soul will also be of great help to Xiaolan.
It will be of great help to the enlightenment and improvement of its intelligence, its ability to think independently, and even its strength.
Isn't that what you planned when you discovered Little Blue and planned to train it into a pseudo-tailed beast?
The difference is that Xiaolan is not fully mature yet, and this soul is someone you think is more important."
Xiao Erwei looked straight into Toneri's eyes.
Hearing this, Shiren smiled helplessly: "Yes, this is all our plan, but just a little blue is definitely not enough, we need to continue to look for a suitable cat.
Before that, the puppetry technique in Hidden Sand Village appeared at just the right time, and the Secret Book of Puppetry accidentally discarded by Red Sand Scorpion became a flash point of conflict between the two hidden villages."
Erwei obviously had no interest in these. He stretched his waist and said lazily: "Let's take a look and see how Xiaolan's condition is."
Sheren nodded and formed a seal with his hands.
"Psychic art!"
Bang!
When I was fighting the Sand Ninjas, I was in such a hurry that I only knew that after Kato Dan's soul entered its body, he fell into a coma without much time to observe.
Now that Xiaolan was summoned, a little surprise appeared in Sheren's eyes.
From the outside, apart from the increase in size by one-third, there are not many obvious changes. The biggest change is its eyes, which look very human at this time. One blue and one yellow eye are full of humanity.
mood.
Not only that, the chakra on its body can be clearly increased, and it is many times more than when it was first integrated into the two-tailed chakra.
"Toneri, Erwei, Meow——"
When Xiaolan saw Toneri and Erwei, her eyes brightened up. She opened her cat's mouth and spoke human words directly. She jumped from the experimental table to Toneri's arms, and her little head kept rubbing in his arms.
.
This obvious spiritual change...
"Xiaolan, how is Lingxiang? Is anyone bullying her?"
Hearing this, Xiaolan's expression became very proud: "Don't worry, Shiren. Sister Lingxiang is very happy every day. She asked me to say hello to you and said everything was fine with her, so you don't have to worry.
And Sister Lingxiang also practices every day, so she won’t be bullied by bad people anymore, meow——
Sister Lingxiang also told me that she would work hard to practice with me and try to help you more in the future, meow——"
Xiaolan's language has become very smooth. Except for habitually adding "meow" at the end, it is no different from other psychic beasts.
He gently rubbed its head.
"So how do you feel now? Is there anything strange about the soul in your body?"
Hearing this, Xiaolan tilted her head and opened her two big eyes and moved them around, as if she was feeling the changes in her body.
"I don't feel anything. He is so quiet and never talks to me. Although it tastes delicious and eating it may help me a lot, with him around, more energy enters my body every day, even if
Part of it was divided, and it was much more than I had before. Xiao Lan likes him very much, meow——"
"Can Xiaolan strengthen herself by absorbing souls?"
Toneri was a little surprised. He really didn't know he had such an ability. Fortunately, Xiaolan stopped his mouth in time, otherwise Kato Dan would have been completely dead.
Seeing Toneri's confused eyes, Erwei said angrily: "So many people die every year in this world, and there are too many souls that pass through the realms of Yin and Yang. What's the problem with eating a few?
In other words, eating these souls won't help me at all, so let's make a sacrifice.
I haven't eaten in countless years since I was sealed in your Jinchuriki body.
In Xiaolan's case, if there is a chance, eating a few more souls may indeed help her."
Erwei looked like you are so short-sighted and I really don’t want to explain it to you.
To put it bluntly, the soul is just an energy body filled with yin attributes, but it is mixed with a lot of memory fragments. For a tailed beast like Erwei, which is connected to yin and yang, eating a few of them has no effect.
"Xiaolan, you can't swallow your soul easily without my permission." Sheren warned.
Things like souls are too mysterious. If it is not necessary, it is better not to consume the number of souls in the entire world.
After all, a certain old man named Liu Dao is not really dead. He is still staring at the world of Naruto all the time.
"Okay, meow——"
Although Xiaolan has no difficulty in communicating now, she is not very experienced in the world and is still more like a child.
"Try it and see if there is any possibility for you two to connect?" Toneri said to Xiao Erwei on the side.
Hearing this, Little Erwei nodded and stretched out its grasp covered with soft flesh.
Xiaolan seemed to have sensed something, and she also obediently stretched out her paw.
Then, the moment the two cats' claws touched each other, a blue and black sheen began to flow on their bodies.
Seeing this scene, Toneri couldn't help but look happy.
"As expected!"
...
...
The moon hangs overhead.
Leave the cattery and close the door.
"It won't be long before the cattery opens." The cattery owner stretched.
But when he just finished lazing around, his expression couldn't help but change.
The short sword at his waist came out of his body in an instant and slashed towards the back at an extremely tricky angle. The sword was almost used with all his strength.
Clang!
A spark flew out, and a man wrapped in a black coat and wearing a white mask held a kunai in his hand and held Toneri's short sword tightly. Through the holes in the mask for the eyes, you could see the other person's eyes.
Coldness and a trace of trying to suppress surprise.
Toneri looked at the kunai in the opponent's hand with a half-smile but a notch in it.
Do you really think that you are still the helpless, malnourished child that you were when you first arrived in Konoha more than a year ago?
"Anbu...oh, it should be called root.
Although I don’t know your name or code name, you must know that you should not try to show off your useless hidden abilities and speed in the future, otherwise you won’t be able to act like this in the future.” Sheren said calmly.
.
On the way to retract the dagger, a flash of red light flashed on the blade.
When he slashed out just now, he did not pour his own chakra into it, but only pure physical strength plus sword skills.
"Konoha Genin Toner, Danzo-sama wants to see you."
Shiren's provocation was directly ignored by the other party, who just told him his mission indifferently.
Hearing this, Shiren couldn't help but frown.
Since the kidnapping of Kushina happened more than a year ago, and Hiruzen Sarutobi learned about Danzo's role in it, for more than a year, neither Danzo nor the root appeared in his life again.
before.
Presumably Sarutobi Hiruzen should have given Danzo enough warning.
After they came back today, Danzo couldn't help but send someone to find him, explaining that starting from today, Konoha Root will start taking action again.
Of course, Toneri would not believe it even if he said that Danzo had not taken any action for more than a year, but he might have been more covert and careful.
"Lead the way."
Not talking nonsense, he jumped up on the eaves and rushed towards the remote corner of Konoha.
"Danzo's ability to seize opportunities is really strong. This is absolutely nothing to say. Today Sarutobi Hiruzen just ordered Sunagakure Village to give a satisfactory answer. Konoha and Sunagakure Village have entered a state of tension again. A large number of
All the people are being dispatched to the Kingdom of Rain.
He would seize such an opportunity and jump out again. It is estimated that due to the pressure of the situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen will not continue to suppress him.
After all, both the strength of the roots and their intelligence capabilities are still relatively important to Konoha as a whole."
Shiren ran all the way, sighing constantly in his heart.
Immediately I seemed to think of something.
"Wait a minute, why did the 'Book of Puppet' in the hands of the Red Sand Scorpion fall into the hands of Kato Dan and the others for no reason?
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the young Red Sand Scorpion accidentally lost something, but why do I always feel like there is a conspiracy?"
If Danzo hadn't appeared, Toneri wouldn't have thought this way, but as soon as this person appeared, he always felt that every place and every corner was filled with the atmosphere of conspiracy.
Konoha Naokage lives up to its name!
Soon, the two of them arrived at the root quietly.
This is a dark and cold place without any human touch.
Danzo put one hand behind his back and the other hand tightly grasped the crutch in his hand.
"Danzo-sama, bring him here."
After saying that, the person disappeared directly.
In fact, Sheren is still very optimistic about Gen's behavior.
At least they are more reliable than the Anbu in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands. They have basically no emotions and don't have much mood swings. The only thing they know is to perform tasks.
And during the mission, whether a companion is injured or killed or oneself dies, the mission is always the first goal.
This is the way a true ninja should behave.
It is precisely because of this that Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to the birth of the root organization, because they can handle many shameful things, many things that he cannot do as the third generation Hokage.
It's a pity that the person in charge at the root is Danzo who is ambitious but does not have enough sense and strength.
After all, it just became a tool in his hands.
"Danzo-sama."
No matter what he thinks in his heart, he still can't be exposed. With his current strength, he still can't fight against the roots and Danzo.
And as long as Danzo, who is good at using tricks, doesn't die, he will do everything possible to disgust you.
So if you don't have the confidence to kill, or you don't fear the strength of the entire root, it's best to be honest.
Danzo slowly turned around and looked at Toneri, who he hadn't seen for more than a year and had grown a lot taller.
For more than a year, although he has never left the base of the roots, nothing about Konoha can escape his ears.
Not to mention Konoha, he knew at least half of everything in the ninja world.
"You have grown up very quickly in this year, and now you can face the Jonin of Sunagakure Village alone." Danzo looked at Toneri, squinting his eyes, with too many things running through his eyes.
In an instant, Shiren felt his body tighten slightly and his heart sank slightly.
Danzo was telling Toneri, don't think that if he doesn't show up, he won't know something. As long as Toneri is still alive in Konoha, he can't escape from his grasp.
"It's all thanks to the good teachings of Orochimaru-sensei and Tsunade-san."
But now Toneri has been recognized by Sarutobi Hiruzen and has become Orochimaru's disciple and Tsunade's younger brother. With this status, although it cannot be said that he ignores Danzo, at least Danzo will hesitate a little before taking action.
Then he added: "There is also the strong support of Danzo-sama."
Show your confidence first, so that people don't think you have no ability to resist, and then show your loyalty. Only in this way will the value of "loyalty" be high, and it will make the superior understand that his subordinate is capable.
.
Danzo raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Toneri who had his head lowered with a half-smile, and said calmly:
"Tsunade actually suffered from a phobia of blood because of Kato Dan's death. If she doesn't overcome the fear in her heart within a short period of time, she will be completely disabled.
Orochimaru is currently confronting the Sand Ninjas at the border of Rain Country, and he will participate in negotiations on behalf of Hiruzen."
This is tantamount to making it clear that Tsunade and Orochimaru will not be able to provide him with help in a short period of time. If he wants to continue to grow and become stronger, he must rely on the power of his roots and Danzo's power.
"I heard that Hiruzen asked you to choose a technique from the Book of Sealings?" Danzo asked.
Sheren lowered his head and answered obediently:
"Yes, it is a technique created by Uzumaki Mito-sama."
"It seems that Toneri, you also have your own pursuit of art..." Danzo narrowed his eyes even more.
How to control a person, in addition to controlling the people the other person cares about, a better way is to control what they pursue.
