Chapter 1219 The Second Trap

Shinji's arrangement for Bai to try to practice the "immortal technique" at this time was not a sudden idea, but something he had thought about for a long time.

As his own strength improves, his vision and knowledge have made great progress, and his understanding of chakra and natural energy has become deeper and more thorough!

In his opinion, several points must be met in order to successfully master the "immortal art".

First, you must have a huge amount of chakra, which is the prerequisite for mastering the "Xianshu". Because only with a large enough amount of chakra can it be possible to reconcile with natural energy and successfully integrate the foundation of the "Xianshu" - Xianshu Chakra!

Second, you need to have strong willpower.

Those who mastered the "immortal arts" in the ninja world, such as the first generation, the fourth generation, Jiraiya, and Kabuto Yakushi, are all people with strong wills.

Otherwise, even a genius like Chougo, who is born with the ability to absorb natural energy, would often lose control and fall into a state of violence due to lack of willpower.

The third is the inexplicable talent of "immortal arts".

Over the years, there are only a handful of ninjas in the ninja world who have mastered the "immortal technique", and the reason can only be attributed to lack of talent.

Shinji arranged for Bai to practice the 'Senjutsu' because he felt that Bai at least met the two requirements of chakra quantity and willpower. As for the third talent, Shinji felt that a person who could practice the 'breathing method' to the extreme and open up the 'markers' and 'transparent world' must have good talent.

Of course, Shinji's arrangement does involve an element of gambling.

At this stage, the enemies Shinji has to face have changed from the initial Nagato, Obito, Danzo and other enemies below the "Six Paths level" to the Overlord, Otsutsuki Isshiki and other powerful enemies who are at least "Six Paths level".

So he must strengthen his own strength as much as possible to keep up with the changes in the situation.

Among the people under his command, Bai is not of the Otsutsuki clan's bloodline and cannot naturally improve his strength by transplanting his bloodline, so he can only find another way to break through the upper limit of his strength.

And practicing "immortal arts" is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

After looking at everyone, Bai is the best candidate to practice the 'immortal art', so Shinji decided to let Bai try to practice the 'immortal art' first.

Once Bai succeeds, he can pass on the experience and skills of practicing "immortal arts" to others. By then, "immortal arts" can be popularized in his team and enhance the overall strength of his team.

Orochimaru clapped his hands at this time, and with a "whoosh" sound, Kabuto Yakushi appeared from the forest.

Orochimaru ordered Kabuto Yakushi, "Send 'C' to Ryuchi Cave!"

"Yes!"

Pharmacist Kabuto responded.

Bai then said to Shinji: "Please rest assured, I will do my best!"

He obviously understood Shinji's intentions, and knew that Shinji wanted to use him to get in touch with the "immortal technique" to improve everyone's strength and increase their chances of winning against the overlord.

Shinji patted Bai's shoulder: "I won't let anything happen to you!"

Upon hearing this, Yakushi Kabuto grinned and thought to himself, "This is not up to you. No matter how strong you are, you can't guarantee that 'C' won't be corroded by natural energy!"

Shinji saw all the flash of teasing in Yakushi Kabuto's expression.

But he didn't point it out, because the other party didn't know that he controlled the "Huojin". Even if Bai really lost control of natural energy and was attacked by natural energy, he could extract this part of the backlash of natural energy through "Huojin", so his guarantee was not a simple consolation.

After Kabuto Yakushi and Shiro left, Shinji asked Orochimaru, "Has anything special happened in the ninja world recently?"

Orochimaru chuckled, "Like what?"

Shinji said calmly, "Is there anything that you find unusual?" "No!" Shaking his head, Orochimaru said, "The Ninja War has just ended, and the five major ninja villages are all recuperating. Nagato's group was also defeated by you and chose to lie dormant. The entire ninja world is so dull that it's a little unusual! If there is anything worth noting, it should be the fact that you found a monk named Jigen!"

Shinji frowned: "You know everything?"

Orochimaru shrugged, "With such a big move, it would be hard for people who are paying attention to you not to notice it! By the way, who is that Jigen? How could he attract your attention?"

Shinji said, "That's why I came to see you today."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru suddenly became interested.

For people like him, exploring secrets is a pleasure, and the more dangerous the secret, the more interested he tends to be.

Shinji said: "Jigen is just the body he inhabits. His real name is 'Otsutsuki Isshiki', an Otsutsuki who arrived in the ninja world at the same time as Otsutsuki Kaguya."

"What!?"

Orochimaru was surprised, but his eyes lit up.

Shinji continued, "Due to some unknown reasons, a conflict broke out between Otsutsuki Kaguya and Otsutsuki Isshiki. In the end, Otsutsuki Isshiki was defeated and was forced to parasitize the monk named Jigen, and quietly lay dormant in the ninja world."

Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth: "So he has been hiding in the ninja world for more than a thousand years?"

"Almost." Nodding, Shinji continued, "He has been very active recently. I suspect he has finally found a place to stay and has returned to his prime."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Tsk tsk, so the ninja world is about to welcome a real Otsutsuki?"

Shinji said, "The other party has set his sights on me, that's why I'm looking for him!"

After realizing that the ninja world was about to usher in a new ninja war that might surpass the scale of the Fourth Ninja World War that just ended, Orochimaru put away the smile on his face and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Shinji remained calm: "I control the Ten-Tails, he is no match for me!"

Orochimaru responded: "So, he will look for other helpers to deal with it together?"

Shinji nodded slightly: "Yes, and you have a Kage-level strongman like Kabuto Yakushi under your command, and you also control the four Hokage through the "Immortal Reincarnation", as well as a powerful undead like Uchiha Madara. He might come to you!"

Orochimaru smiled: "I see. First pretend to agree to cooperate, and then set an ambush to get rid of him, right?"

Shinji saved himself the trouble: "Yeah!"

Orochimaru suddenly said: "I can cooperate with you to deal with him, but I have one condition!"

Shinji asked, "What are the conditions?"

"That's the real Ōtsutsuki, I want his body for research!"

Orochimaru said this with a gleam in his eyes.

Shinji thought for a moment and said, "No, I still have use for his body, so I can only lend it to you for research for a while."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Deal!"

The first update is here!
