Chapter 228 Ignite the filth of the soul and burn the flesh and blood of the body

Hiss...

Ten fingers, only bones left, grasped the three-foot-nine-inch knife. The bones without blood and flesh naturally could not raise the sword to fight like before.

However, there was no need to stain it with blood.

When the tip of the knife in Yahiko's hand lightly touched the ground, white light rose from the ground to the sky.

At this moment, everyone in Sunagakure, including Luosha and Duomu, seemed to fall into a wonderful peace.

The light was like a wave, washing in the valley. There was no heat in the air, only warmth and holiness.

"What is this?"

It is hard to imagine that Duomu still has the ability to think at this moment when covered by white light.

But this is also his last moment, existing in this world as a living person.

At this moment, he seems to have become a third-person God's perspective.

He saw himself before the war, when he took the newborn Scorpion from the doctor's hands and smiled carefully.

He also saw himself in the family photo in his arms, curled up in an empty room four years after the war.

He saw himself who was still stubborn and wanted to conduct the experiment after being advised by his wife, and he also saw himself who could still dissect the body with an indifferent face in the face of the civilians begging for mercy and crying.

He saw himself standing outside the laboratory full of corpses, excited about the experimental data in his hands, and he also saw himself reflected in the eyes of the air ninjas in the sky full of hatred...

Smile, love, madness, gloom, coldness, indifference...

Finally, it was himself who abandoned his wife's body and fled in a panic. There was only fear, hideousness, and ugliness on his face...

It was such a familiar face, but it made Duomu feel extremely strange and disgusting.

"How did it come to this..."

If he hadn't left Scorpion alone at home to save his reputation, if he hadn't applied to go to the front line to fight for the position of Kazekage...

If he hadn't taken the initiative to find the Third Kazekage for the power of the human puppet, if he hadn't ignored his wife Saori's advice to develop and master the forbidden technique...

Under the guidance and influence of an unknown force, the regret surged into his heart like a surging wave and drowned him uncontrollably.

I'm sorry...

That was the moment when he felt endless regret.

Boom!

It was as if something broke and ignited in his body, and the blazing white flames covered his figure from the inside out.

Not only Duomu, but the other Sand Village ninjas covered by white light all ignited white flames in an extremely strange way at this moment.

"All of them were dried up by the fire of karma, and they paid their old debts and became animals."

The meaning of this sentence from Yahiko's mouth was that their fire of karma burned up the two paths of hell and hungry ghosts, so they could only be transformed into animals to pay their old debts.

Karma fire, the fire of karma, refers to the fire of evil karma that harms the body, and also refers to the fire of hell that burns sinners.

The short moment left before death is the time left for them to regret. This is the last mercy and compassion, and it is also a nearly ruthless sin and punishment. The more regrets they have in their lifetime, the more painful it is.

This pain burns from the soul, spreading the karmic fire to the body, until the soul and flesh are completely burned...

Crack!

The porcelain-white light column that shot up into the sky shattered, spreading a pale halo around, like a beautiful scene of fluid overflow.

In Nagato's perception, the white light only bloomed for a moment, and then shattered and dissipated in an instant.

But when his perception recovered, he was shocked to find that Luosha behind him had turned into white human wax.

Not only Luosha, but also Duomu in the distance, and the surrounding Sand Ninjas, their bodies turned into white human wax, maintaining different movements in their lifetime.

But what made Nagato feel a little cold in his heart was that the faces of those vivid "wax figures" had almost the same regretful expressions.

Crack! Crack!

Nagato subconsciously broke free from Luosha's arms behind him, and after a crisp sound, the human-shaped wax figure broke directly, and his feet directly crushed the gray and white brittle shell, and the creepy shattering sound continued.

Luosha's puppet body was made of various rare metals, but it was as brittle as paper after being burned by the strange white flame.

"..."

Looking at the various human wax figures around him, Nagato couldn't help but twitch his eyes, and the chill in his heart became even worse.

He didn't feel any heat at all, but when he opened his eyes, everything he looked at was wasteland, and as long as he touched it lightly, only ashes would be left.

Turning his head and looking behind him through the distorted air, Nagato saw Yahiko silently holding the hilt of the knife. The flesh on his palm had grown back, and the red color of the fire in his eyes gradually faded.

Perhaps because he had been filled with the warmth of the white light before, when everything suddenly returned to calm, Nagato felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

Only then did he realize that his injury had healed. It was an injury that could not be healed in a short time even with his recovery ability...

"Is this the new power you have acquired?" Nagato asked.

Although he did not know the real name of this power, he could still feel the holy feeling that could not be resisted and questioned the soul that spread just now.

It seemed to have ignited their souls, and then spread to their flesh and blood, and finally only an empty shell was left.

"Huh..."

Breathing out a formed white mist, the faint pressure on Yahiko dissipated, and a silly smile appeared on his pale face again. He raised the three-foot-nine-inch sword in his hand and said with a smile: "It's called Karma Fire, and it's the first to unlock the ability." yes……"

"When it acts on the enemy, it ignites the filth in the soul and burns the flesh and blood of the body."

Before Yahiko could finish what he said, Nagato interrupted directly and said with a complicated expression: "It affects the friendly party by healing the soul and body's injuries?"

Zanpakutō? Reiatsu? Power from the soul?

Nagato had long heard his brother say it, but he didn't think that this kind of power could make Yahiko stronger than himself.

Even if Yahiko takes the Breathing Technique to the end, it will only be enough to give him the power of an elite Jonin. When facing a ninja with a strength comparable to that of the Five Kages, even the Breathing Technique plus markings and world penetration will not be enough.

Nagato was already surprised by Yahiko's ability to use the so-called "Breaking Path" to defeat Rasa's magnetic force.

As for the so-called Zanpakutou and Haigai...

This was the first time he had seen Yahiko use this kind of power, and the weirdness of this power exceeded his expectations.

It acts on the soul, almost like a judgment, gentle yet cold, compassionate yet ruthless.

If Yahiko can completely master this power, even if he does not have the military talent to lead an army, he can become a high-end combat force that can stand alone and determine the outcome of a small battle.

No matter how unwilling to admit it, Nagato could not deny it. Compared with the current Yahiko, he might have...

Thinking of this, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously raised his hand and touched his eyes covered by black cloth.

Defilement of the soul?

Living in such a world, who's soul can be holy?

A mere naive fool, even the soul-forged weapons are so naive and childish.

How could Nagato accept that he had been surpassed by a fool.

"Reincarnation Eye..." He murmured softly.

————————

The Kingdom of Rain, on the mountain in Linjiang Village.

Among the dry thorns, black shadows loomed.

A figure lying on the sentry post looked down and said in a deep voice: "Captain Huping, there seems to be movement ahead."

Hu Ping, who hadn't slept for two days and two nights because he was on the road, was woken up after just half an hour's nap. He looked up at his men and said slightly wary, "What's the noise?"

"The dog is barking." The man whispered, "Although it is a bit far away and cannot be seen clearly, you can still hear that it is injured..."

An injured dog?

Hearing this, Huping couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and couldn't help but think of the big black dog next to Xiaoshi. A hint of gloom appeared on his face, and he asked, "Is that dog all black?"

The man was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked into the distance, saw the fleeing black figure, and also saw four figures hiding behind and chasing after him.

Soon, he remembered the black dog next to Xiaoshi, his expression changed slightly, and he nodded: "Yes! It should be Xiaoshi's dog, and there are four people chasing him, possibly Konoha's ninjas!"

Confirming the guess in his heart, Hu Ping's hands suddenly clenched.

The first thought in his mind was that his position had been exposed, but he soon realized that it was impossible for Xiaoshi to do this.

If Xiaoshi really revealed their whereabouts to the Konoha ninjas, what they would see now would not be black dogs but a large number of enemies.

It is more likely that Xiaoshi discovered the enemy and was discovered when he ventured to make sure, so that the black dog ran back to remind them.

Realizing this, Hu Ping loosened his clenched palms slightly, but the expression on his face became gloomy.

It was now noon, and most of the "ghosts" took advantage of this time to rest in the village. Only those responsible for the vigilance were scattered around in groups of three.

In other words, he only has two people under his command now.

"Captain, what should I do?"

The other person also realized what the appearance of the dog meant. He approached Huping and put his hand into the bag on his waist and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to take action? Or should you inform Boss Ye first?"

Hu Ping glanced at his hand in his pocket and snorted: "Don't you already have a plan, Xiao Xuanzi?"

"Hehe." The young man called "Xuanzi" chuckled, "The captain knows me. I am too lazy to use my brain. I just want to blow them up."

"You are nothing like your father, Genou, who has the ability to stay in Konoha and work as a spy." Kohei gave a gentle lesson.

"Dad is dad, and I am me." Xuanzi smiled nonchalantly: "If I were a coward, I wouldn't have followed Mr. Yunchuan here from Yangyan Village."

Hearing this, Hu Ping looked at him deeply and sighed: "I don't know what Mr. Yunchuan thought, but he really asked you to come out with us."

Xuanweng, the "mechanical expert" who is the best at detonating talisman traps in Yangyan Village, cooperates with the remote detonating device used by the detonating talisman, and can create detonating talisman traps that can even be hidden from Hinata's eyes.

He is currently hiding inside Konoha to detect intelligence and arrange detonating talismans. He is an important character who can give Konoha a painful blow at critical moments.

As Xuan Weng's only son, "Xuan Zi" should have stayed in Daybreak City as a "proton" as a means to make Xuan Weng obedient.

Who would have thought that this kid actually took the initiative to find Mr. Yunchuan, hoping to go out of the city with them to meet the enemy, and Mr. Yunchuan actually agreed.

What should I do if I die?

Huping felt a little headache, but since he joined the legion, there was no special treatment. No matter who he was before, he was a soldier after joining the legion.

Knowing this, Hu Ping said in a deep voice: "This is your first time, are you sure?"

Xuan Zi didn't say anything, but nodded seriously.

Hu Ping didn't say anything more, looked up at the man on the high ground, and said: "Liang Yi, let's go and deal with those four guys and see if we can capture one alive to interrogate intelligence. You stay here and send a signal to Boss Ye and the others."

"No problem." The man called Liang Yi lay on the top of the slope, his eyes always on the sight eyepiece, looking at the figure getting closer and closer in the distance, and responded without turning his head, "I won't let anyone run away."

——————————

"Awoo! Awoo!"

Looking at the black dog running around and howling in the ruins in the distance, the Shimura ninja who was a little dizzy couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "This dead dog is too familiar with the terrain of this broken place!"

While speaking, the kunai slipped from his sleeves into his hand, and he raised his arm and threw it out directly.

The black dog happened to get out of the narrow pipe. Two of the three kunai he threw missed and were nailed to the pipe with a short sound, but one accurately hit his abdomen.

"Ah!"

After a shrill and painful dog bark, the black dog struggled to crawl into an abandoned house.

But the moment it entered, a hand suddenly stretched out from the shadow and pinched its mouth directly.

"Woo woo."

Under the clamp of that hand, it struggled to make a low moan from its throat, but its nose moved, as if it smelled a familiar smell, and it wagged its tail instantly.

"Good dog."

A slight murmur sounded, and Hu Ping, who walked out of the shadow, slowly let go of his hand, retreated under the gaze of the black dog, and sank back into the darkness.

At the same time, Shimura Ninja and the other three Konoha Ninjas looked at the abandoned house along the blood dripping on the ground.

"I didn't expect it would be so troublesome to chase a dog. I'll just skin you and roast you for food."

Shimura ninja snorted coldly and walked over, his whole body disappearing into the shadow of the house, with three Konoha ninjas standing outside behind him.

"Run, why don't you run? Don't worry, your little master will be there to accompany you soon."

Looking down at the injured black dog curled up on the ground and walking over, Shimura ninja grinned, already imagining the roasted dog meat, but not paying attention to the top of his head at all.

A pair of hands slowly and gently dropped from above, reaching towards Shimura ninja's head, like raindrops falling outside the house, so light that you can't feel their existence but cold to the bone.

"Woo woo..."

Whether it's a person or a dog, there is an instinctive fear of death.

Amid the faint whimpering of the black dog, Shimura ninja suddenly felt a chill, and the hair on his neck stood up.

Almost instinctively, he raised his head subconsciously, and his astonished eyes met a pair of scarlet eyes.

Before he could open his mouth to shout, a hand covered his mouth, and the muscles of both arms bulged and pulled hard...

Crack! (End of this chapter)
