Chapter 140 Abnormal
"Ah, Orochimaru-sensei, you haven't learned yet?"
Knowing so clearly, Gen Uchiha thought Orochimaru had already learned it.
"I've never had time. It's the war and all kinds of research, so I can't spare any time."
"If you want to learn the immortal mode, it will take a long time to listen to the White Snake Immortal, even if your appearance is outstanding."
"The worse the Tianzi is, the longer it will take and the greater the risk. If it reaches a certain level, there is only a dead end."
Gen Uchiha's heart moved when he heard this.
Orochimaru did not learn the sage mode of Ryuji Cave in the original work, but used Jugo to create the curse seal in a different way. Is it because it took too long and missed the best learning time?
As we age, in addition to experience, the state of the body in all aspects declines, including the spirit and soul.
There is no reason why Jiraiya can learn the sage mode of Mt. Myoboku, but Orochimaru cannot learn the sage mode of Ryūchi Cave...
They are both the three holy places in the ninja world. Although the method of learning the sage mode in Ryūchi Cave is more cruel, the sage mode in Mt. Myouki cannot be much easier than the sage mode in Ryūchi Cave, right?
When Orochimaru thought of learning the sage mode, the possibility of learning the Ryūchidō sage mode was completely cut off due to the side effects of the Fuzo Reincarnation, especially the side effects on the soul.
Therefore, Orochimaru could only find another way to study the secrets of the sage mode. Although the curse seal is good, it is not as good as the real sage mode.
After all, for Orochimaru, immortality is always the first priority. Learning all ninjutsu, researching and exploring the truth of the ninja world, and strength are secondary.
If he urged Orochimaru to go to Ryūchi Cave in time, would it be possible for Orochimaru to learn the sage mode?
Their master and apprentice are more like-minded, and the stronger Orochimaru is, it will be good for him.
"I think we still need to find time. Experimental research will never be finished."
"After learning the immortal mode, you may be able to find new research inspiration on immortality from the new power."
"Human lifespan is too small compared to nature, and also compared to natural energy."
"Natural energy in this world is eternal and ubiquitous. Isn't it a different kind of immortality?"
"If the human soul can rest on the natural energy of the world, can it also live forever?"
Orochimaru's eyes lit up and he said: "Your idea is very good. I have another research topic that I am interested in."
"Teacher, your idea of the art of reincarnation is very good, but there is one thing that is not good about it."
"What's wrong?" Orochimaru asked with interest.
"That means there is no qualitative change in people's bodies and souls."
"Even if you use your own clone, I think there will still be a certain amount of wear and tear on the soul, but it's just lower than using someone else's body."
"I don't think the rules of this world would leave such a big loophole."
"If things continue like this, one day the soul will collapse due to excessive wear and tear. This means that one can live forever but cannot live forever."
"I think this is the best way to achieve immortality if a person's body and soul can undergo a qualitative change that is large enough to transcend human life levels!"
The Otsutsuki clan is such a being. They are born with great strength and a lifespan of thousands of years. They can also use the "wedge" to be resurrected and reincarnated. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are existences that transcend death.
The curse seal created by Orochimaru is similar to the "Wedge". Although it is a low-end version, it is enough to prove Orochimaru's amazing talent.
Orochimaru was thinking while eating meat.
After a while, he said seriously: "What you said makes sense. The jump in life levels is the best way to live forever."
"The art of immortal reincarnation does have the possibility that it can only lead to immortality but not immortality, but it doesn't matter."
"We can use it as a guarantee, with a long lifespan to back it up, and anything is possible."
Uchiha Gen raised his wine glass, smiled slightly and said, "Everything is possible while alive."
"Words of wisdom!"
Orochimaru raised his wine glass, smiled slightly, and agreed very much.
Ding, the two of them touched their wine glasses together, making a clear and sweet sound, and then drank down the wine in one gulp.
Under the triple stimulation of boiling soup pot, chili pepper, and wine, the two of them felt hot all over, and a little sweat broke out on their foreheads. In this season of cold wind and flying snowflakes, they couldn't help but feel refreshed and happy.
After talking about this topic, the two chatted about their experiences in the ninja world, and an hour passed unknowingly.
After drinking and eating, the master and the apprentice went about their own business, and naturally there were Konoha ninjas taking care of the scene.
…
Happy days are always short-lived. In the blink of an eye, New Year's Day has passed, and major villages are still immersed in the afterglow of the festival, but war has resumed on the front lines.
As Orochimaru expected, Kirigakure did not launch a large-scale attack, but adopted a war of attrition strategy.
After receiving Uchiha Gen as deputy commander, Kirigakure's strategy of war of attrition was implemented even more resolutely.
Because the deputy commander, as the absolute senior leader on the front line, would not go on missions easily, but would sit in the camp and command.
This is true for the deputy commander, and even more so for the commander.
This is undoubtedly good news for the jounin of Kirigakure.
The danger that day was precarious, and the danger of dying at any time after the hallucination operation left a deep impression on the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon, and he never wanted to meet Uchiha Gen again.
The same goes for the Kirigakure Jonin who got the information.
If it happens, without teammates of the same level to help unlock the illusion, it may be difficult to escape the bad luck with just subordinates.
How could Gen Uchiha, who was mainly here to harvest souls, be free?
In the battle area, a Chunin team from Kirigakure wearing snow-white cloaks carefully searched for traces of Konoha ninjas in the snow-covered mountains and forests...
Suddenly, a nearly transparent stream of light streaked across the sky with flying snow, and crashed into the leading Kirigakure chuunin team leader's body at lightning speed.
"What's wrong, Captain?"
"Is there any hostility?"
Seeing his captain stop suddenly, a Kirigakure genin landed next to him with a puzzled expression on his face.
The next moment, the Kirigakure chuunin exploded. When he turned around, a kunai appeared in his left hand and two kunai appeared in his right hand.
The left kunai stabbed into the right chest of the genin next to him, and the right kunai was thrown out and accurately inserted into the right chest of the other two subordinates.
The sudden turn of events shocked the three Kirigakure genin.
"This...this is...why?"
The nearest Kirigakure genin said with blood foaming from his mouth and a look of disbelief on his face.
The Kirigakure chuunin grinned, showing his sharp white teeth: "I haven't eaten the flesh of my subordinates for a long time. I really... can't bear it anymore!"
The three Kirigakure genin were horrified when they heard this. They never thought that the captain they had been with day and night would turn out to be a pervert who eats human flesh...
The next moment, the souls and life spans of the three people emerged from their bodies uncontrollably and poured into Captain Kirigakure's body.
Bang, bang, bang, the bodies of the three people fell from the branches and hit the ground, making a dull sound and splashing three piles of snow.
The next moment, the Kirigakure chuunin formed a seal with his hands and created a clone.
The clone took the kunai from the left hand of the main body and stabbed it directly into the heart of the main body.
The moment the sharp edge penetrated the flesh, a translucent soul emerged from Kirigakure's Ninja Sky Spirit Cap, instantly streaking across the snowy sky, and fled into the distance without a trace.
With his heart pierced and blood flowing, the body of the Kirigakure chuunin fell towards the tree. Due to the death of the main body, the clone also turned into a white smoke and disappeared...
