Chapter 152: Fusion of Eight-tailed Chakra, Monthly Pass]
After getting what they wanted, Tonero and Orochimaru quickly left Kumogakure, a place of right and wrong.
It won't last long for Toneri to turn the wood into the Eight-Tailed Corner. While the current Kumogakure Village is still in chaos due to the Eight-Tailed Rebellion, it is a good choice to leave immediately.
If they wait until they discover the abnormality in the horns and try to leave again, it will be too late.
In an unknown forest not far outside Cloud Hidden Village, a ninja in black robes had a very petite pocket cat lying on his shoulder.
The kitten whispered something into the ninja's ear, and the ninja jumped away and left.
"This kid is really brave, he actually caused such a big commotion in Yunyin Village.
That terrifying energy fluctuation before should be the Eight-Tails of Hidden Cloud Village, right?"
This ninja was Kakuzu who started cooperation with Toneri a year ago.
According to their verbal cooperation agreement at the time, Toneri helped Kakuzu earn more money, making it easier for him to make money, and providing a continuous supply of information.
He did this perfectly and even exceeded his expectations.
In this year, the rapidly spreading intelligence network not only made him a lot of money, but also made Kakuzu more money. It was a win-win cooperation.
Now that he has made money, Kakuzu is willing to continue to cooperate with Toneri.
And if Toneri has fulfilled his promise, then Kakuzu will also fulfill what he said.
Some simple tasks can provide voluntary help, but if it is some difficult tasks, the person needs to pay a large sum of money.
You can get a discount, but you can’t live without it.
For example, during this trip to Kumogakure Village, after knowing that Orochimaru would take him with him, Toneri notified Kakuzu in advance and asked him to meet him outside Kumogakure Village, just in case.
Under normal circumstances, Toner and Orochimaru can retreat safely as long as they provoke the Eight-Tails to go berserk, but in order to obtain the Eight-Tails' native chakra, they must take risks.
What we need to face at that time is very likely the powerful third generation Raikage and a large number of Kumo ninjas. He and Orochimaru alone are not enough to face such a situation, but if we add the same powerful Kage level
If the enemy's Kakuzu is located, then the probability of the three of them successfully retreating will be much higher.
This is the reason why Toneri is so bold and goes directly to steal the Eight-Tailed Corner.
Without complete preparation, how could Shiren, with such a steady character, do such a risky thing.
However, Orochimaru cannot know about this backhand, otherwise the connection between him and Kakuzu will have to be explained to Konoha for a long time.
So this is just his final insurance policy.
Fortunately, the worst didn't happen and they successfully retreated.
And Kakuzu, who just stood for a while, didn't pay much. This was considered a help between partners, and Toneri didn't need to pay him any money.
However, this operation also made Kakuzu a little lucky. Fortunately, he did not become enemies with Toneri, otherwise he would team up with Orochimaru and others to ambush him and kill him directly.
It was also from the end of the mission to Hidden Cloud Village that Kakuzu's view of Toneri completely changed. He was no longer an explosive ninja who relied on his master and his own trump cards. Even though his strength was not as good as his, his abilities were still gained.
got his approval.
Put the saner in the position of a true partner.
After leaving Kumogakure Village, Orochimaru and Toneri returned to Konoha at full speed without stopping.
The Eight-Tailed Rebellion in Yunyin Village and the loss of the Eight-Tailed Corner are all things that can only be swallowed by oneself.
After all, they don't know who did it.
Maybe even in order to prevent other hidden villages from knowing that due to the Eight-Tails Rebellion, they had caused a large number of ninja casualties, serious damage to the hidden villages, and huge financial losses, they had to take the initiative to conceal it, that is, not to let others know that their strength was weakened.
Speaking of which, Yunyin Village has been quite tragic in recent years.
The second tail of the tailed beast is missing. There is a strong guess that it is in Konoha, but there is no complete evidence. Moreover, because of the enmity with Iwagakure Village, I dare not rashly end the alliance with Konoha, even if it is Konoha and Sunagakure Village.
The commotion was in full swing.
Now that the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki has been eliminated again, it cannot be sealed into the Jinchuriki's body in a short period of time. Even if there is Kirabi, a perfect candidate for the Jinchuuriki, it will not be possible to seal it again until the Eight-Tails has completely regained its composure.
One of the Eight-Tails' horns was even missing, and we don't know who did it.
It can't be said to be miserable.
The two culprits who did this went into the laboratory after returning to Konoha.
It’s hard to find such good materials to study.
Orochimaru and Toneri could be said to have immersed themselves in it.
But the Eight-Tails is the Eight-Tails after all, and it is not that easy to study thoroughly. This is a large experimental project that will take them a long time to study.
The Eight-Tails involves natural energy and a lot of negative emotions. If you want to truly utilize the energy in it, it is quite troublesome to separate these energies from the debris of the Eight-Tails.
Unlike the two-tailed ones, who will take the initiative to help Toneri peel off the pure energy, the eight-tailed ones can only be manipulated by the two of them, trying again and again.
Toneri was not in a hurry and quickly utilized the native chakra in the Eight-Tailed Corner. With Orochimaru in front to help open the way, he could only wish for it.
And Toneri also knew that the Eight-Tails' chakra had limited effect on Orochimaru. It was more likely that it was extracted from the Eight-Tails' debris and belonged to the Eight-Tails' peculiar genetic sample.
Orochimaru developed his own white-scaled snake based on the genes of the White Snake Sennin of Ryūchi Cave.
White-scaled snakes are already very outstanding creatures in the entire ninja world, and there are not many creatures that can compete with them at the genetic level.
But this would certainly not satisfy Orochimaru completely.
If the genes extracted from the eight-tailed horns can be put to good use and integrated into the genes of the white-scaled snake, combining the advantages of the two creatures will definitely make this creature more powerful.
This is what Orochimaru needs.
As for the eight-tails chakra helping to study Senju Hashirama's cells, this is only a relatively important one among his many experiments, far less important to him than the white-scaled snake.
Senju Hashirama's cells are very strong, which also makes him full of interest.
But to put it bluntly, Senju Hashirama, who had such strength, still passed away, which shows that even if his cells are researched, they are not enough to give him immortality.
So he just wanted to find out why Senju Hashirama was so powerful and use it, but he didn't know how to do it directly.
This was also the reason why he was of no use to himself after he helped Danzo successfully transplant Senju Hashirama's cells.
To use the words of a very famous person in Toneri's past life: Can cells from Senju Hashirama lead to immortality?
If you don’t get immortality, don’t practice!
His goal may not be so obvious at this time, but he is definitely heading in the direction of eternal life.
It took seven days, and after being inspired by the Two-Tails, Tonero and Orochimaru, two of the strongest scientists in Konoha, finally figured out how to strip all kinds of hateful emotions out of the Eight-Tails' chakra.
That's just the two of them, otherwise anyone else would probably be used directly.
While gaining energy, there is a high chance that one will be affected by these hateful emotions, causing a drastic change in temperament or simply turning into a madman who only knows how to kill.
Looking at the fist-sized brown energy ball in the transparent glass container, Orochimaru and Toneri both showed satisfied smiles.
"How is it, Toneri-kun? How different is the chakra of the Eight-Tails and the chakra of the Two-Tails?" Orochimaru asked, licking his lips.
Toneri did not hesitate, "If the legend about the Six Paths Sage is true, then the chakras of the two-tailed and eight-tailed ones should come from the same source. There will be no difference in theory. However, after a thousand years, they have changed due to their living environment.
As well as its own needs, some unpredictable changes will inevitably occur.
What are the differences? I haven’t done any research and I don’t know.”
An expression of pity appeared on Orochimaru's face, "It's a pity that you are too protective of the two tails. If you can take it out for reference, it is estimated that the value will not be low."
Shiren also spread his hands helplessly.
The second tail is one of the foundations of his current strength. Protecting the second tail is to protect yourself. How can something like a trump card be easily studied by others?
Orochimaru also knew this, so he was not forced to get some two-tailed things or chakra from Toneri.
At this time, although Orochimaru had begun to become a little extreme in terms of his personality, he still looked towards Konoha in his heart.
At least judging from what happened this time.
Senju Hashirama's cells bothered him for more than a day or two, but why did he choose this time to go out and attack the Eight-Tails?
Isn't it just because Konoha is unstable now and needs enough strong men to take charge? Jiraiya's return makes him feel more at ease.
...
Back in their laboratory, Lingxiang and Xiaolan had been waiting in the laboratory for a long time.
"Are everything ready? It took a long time with Orochimaru to study the Eight-Tails chakra, but it was also for stability and to ensure greater safety."
Lingxiang and Xiaolan both nodded in agreement.
At the same time, he looked at a silver-white cat lying lazily on the experimental table.
"How are you preparing, Xiaoyin?"
The silver-white cat lazily opened its eyes, and its eyes lit up when it saw Toren's arrival.
This cat is the little silver he calls.
It is a cat that meets the requirements specially selected from many stray cats.
Xiaolan's arrival was more of an accident, but Xiaoyin was carefully chosen.
From the surface, you can't tell that it is much different from ordinary cats, but Xiaoyin's cells are very special, not only have strong recovery ability, but also have a strong ability to accept foreign things.
This is the cat he specially prepared for the eight-tails chakra.
"Meow--"
Xiaoyin is very smart. Although he cannot speak yet and has not practiced chakra, he understands the purpose and words of Shiren very clearly.
"Very good, let's get started."
Toneri serves as Orochimaru's assistant, and Reika becomes his assistant.
When it comes to cats with so many owners, the person who knows them best is not his owner, nor Xiaolan, the leader of the cats, but Lingxiang, who takes good care of all the cats for their owners.
Moreover, through Toneri's deliberate training, Reika not only learned a lot of medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques, but also learned a lot of basic knowledge about scientific research.
Wear a white coat and leather gloves on the bed.
The horns of the Eight-Tails were directly brought to the laboratory.
"Is this part of the Eight-Tails' body that is comparable to the Two-Tails? Is it so huge?
And...the chakra in it feels so terrifying..."
Lingxiang's sensitivity to chakra is definitely the strongest among all the people Toneri has ever seen.
Looking at Lingxiang, whose face turned a little pale, he patted her shoulder comfortingly.
"All tailed beasts are very pure when they are born. It is only after thousands of years of life, affected by various human emotions and entangled together, that they become so terrifying. You can feel that Chuck is full of
All kinds of negative emotions? This is the fundamental reason why the tailed beast is so cruel." Toneri explained.
"Does such a dangerous thing really need to be injected into Xiaoyin's body? I'm worried..."
No need to say much about what to worry about.
If the chakra of the Eight-Tails is directly injected into the body of a creature, let alone a cat, even a powerful ninja may be affected by these negative emotions and turn into a madman who only knows how to kill, let alone a cat.
?
Toneri smiled, "Don't worry, of course I also know how big the impact will be, so I stayed in Orochimaru's laboratory for so long in order to find a way to strip away these negative emotions."
"So, is it possible that the two tails in your body, Toneri, have been affected by these emotions?"
Toneri's smile gradually faded, "Yes, so it's hard to imagine what these tailed beasts have gone through over the years. The misunderstanding between us humans and the tailed beasts has lasted for thousands of years."
These things cannot be corrected by his ability.
The most important thing is to focus on the present moment.
"Come on, first pull the chakra out of the eight tails' horns. I have a way to strip away the negative emotions."
After the words fell, Tonero, Lingxiang and his shadow clone all started to take action.
Xiao Yin became a little nervous, but fortunately, the experienced Xiao Lan was there to comfort him and ease his mood.
Little Blue was Shiren's first choice, and Little Silver was also the one that stood out among the many cats.
The best among cats!
Having had most of its original chakra extracted, the Eight-Tailed Horn suddenly shrunk in size.
A huge ball of red and black chakra was pulled out.
The negative emotions and the pressure from chakra itself made Toner and Reika look very solemn.
The shadow of Xiao Erwei slowly appeared on Toneri's shoulder. Looking at this ball of chakra, it felt very familiar.
This ball of red and black chakra, as if something in the dark was guiding it, slowly transformed into the appearance of the Eight-Tails.
Although it is not so detailed as to depict the detailed appearance of the Eight-Tails, the appearance is just a bit blurry.
However, from the eight tails on the back, as well as the familiar arms and horns, it can be seen that this is the appearance of the eight-tailed bull ghost they have seen before.
The chakra is condensed like this without any fluctuation, which means that it is just chakra and has no thoughts of its own.
Tailed beasts are the condensation of chakra, and each one has their own thoughts.
The Eight-Tails' will was now sealed in the Sealing Pot by the Cloud Ninjas.
If the Eight-Tails in the Sealing Pot is killed, then the Eight-Tails' shape condensed from this ball of chakra may give birth to its own thinking and will, and the Eight-Tails Chakra floating in the entire ninja world is also very likely to be born.
They will gather here and eventually become another Eight-Tails.
In the end, it is unknown whether it is the former Eight-Tails and has the memories of the past.
But Toneri estimates that the Eight-Tails reborn in this situation will most likely no longer be the Eight-Tails they once were.
This is also the reason why many tailed beasts are unwilling to try to die.
If a person really holds their chakra in his hand and gives birth to thoughts, will they be the same as before when they are reborn?
Of course, if no one does this, the tailed beast that is reborn should still retain its original memory.
In fact, the tailed beasts themselves are the condensed body of chakra, and their thoughts exist with chakra.
If Toneri does not deal with this ball of Eight-Tails chakra and allows it to grow freely, it is really possible that a new thought will be born, and then the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki of Kumogakure Village will be eliminated, and the Eight-Tails Chakra will be scattered in nature.
middle.
When the time comes, the eight-tails chakra that gives birth to a new will will most likely become the new eight-tails.
However, Shiren had no intention of doing so.
Let’s not talk about how difficult it is to kill the Eight-Tails or kill the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki. Even if it is really killed, will the Eight-Tails with a new consciousness be controlled so easily by him?
Not necessarily.
Therefore, instead of pursuing uncertain power, it is more practical to grasp the power that can be controlled first.
With this thought, the negative emotions were peeled away from this ball of chakra.
Emotions are something that cannot be understood, and sometimes they can only be eliminated together with a part of the entangled chakra.
The eliminated negative emotions and a small amount of chakra completely turned into a dark mass, somewhat like thick and moist black sludge.
Put it in a special container and seal it with several seals.
Although these things are useless now, there is no guarantee that they will be used for special purposes in the future.
After all the negative emotions were stripped away, the shadow of the Eight-Tails shrunk a lot, from the original red and black to the current brown-yellow color with a little red light.
"This is almost pure Eight-Tails chakra, right?"
The second tail nodded gently. It didn't expect that Toneri could really do this. Although a lot of chakra was wasted, it was all worth it.
And Reika, who is very sensitive to chakra and possesses the "Kagura Heart Eye", has never been able to feel any negative emotions from this ball of chakra.
Originally, it was more troublesome to find this kind of chakra that coerces negative emotions, but with the intervention of Erwei and Lingxiang, things suddenly became a lot easier.
This pure chakra is compressed into a special syringe, and the highly solidified chakra becomes as if it were a liquid.
With Xiao Lan's experience in fusing the two-tailed chakra, what he needs to do next is relatively simple.
