Seeing the increasingly stable state of Zhixue's body, Ichikijima Hime also had a look of disbelief on her face.
Although this little guy had her help, it was already very powerful to be able to practice natural energy to this extent in one day. Of course, it was also related to the fact that she took the seven-day measurement in one breath. .
Feeling the wonderful energy flowing throughout his body, Zhixue felt extremely comfortable. The feeling is an instinctive and refreshing feeling that cannot be described in words. It is similar to astringency, but the feeling is completely opposite.
Practicing natural energy feels like exploring the mysteries of life and sublimating it.
Ding, snakes symbolize regeneration and longevity. Learning the perfect Longdi Cave Immortal Technique can indeed greatly increase your lifespan, but it is not a complete advancement in life levels.
"Well... don't worry about lifespan. It's still early before I die of old age." Zhixue exhaled and said, then recalled the walking route just now and used chakra to mix and guide the natural energy, forming a layer of pale white The energy appears looming on Zhixue's body...
In the early morning, a soft drizzle fell over Konoha Village. The raindrops hit the windows, making Zhixue's simple room look empty.
Squeak...
The door was pushed open, and Shisui, who had heavy dark circles under his eyes, walked in. Looking at the small quilt nestled beside the bed, he felt in a trance.
"Zhixue..."
With a trace of luck, Zhi Shui slowly opened the quilt, but there was no figure inside who wanted to scare her, which made him a little silent. He looked at the photo of Zhi Xue when he was a child on the table. At that time, She had just graduated from the ninja school. She pointed at the forehead protector on her head and excitedly showed off to him the fact that she had become a ninja. That was the happiest time in Zhixue's life...
Memories of the past began to attack Zhisui's nerves, and the "brother" that echoed in Zhisui's heart was like a sharp thorn that pierced into the bottom of Zhisui's heart.
When love is gained and then suddenly lost, the extreme pain is like falling from a high altitude into an abyss. A beautiful picture scroll was ruthlessly torn into pieces by the big hand of death, and Shisui's psychological defense that had been stable for more than ten years was completely shattered for the first time.
The shadow of Zhixue's death lingered in Shisui's mind like a nightmare. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Zhixue in ANBU uniform turning to ashes in despair.
"You bastard, why did you let Zhixue join the ANBU! Why!" Zhisui pulled out the kunai and pricked his arm with one hand. The stinging feeling and the eye-catching blood in front of him made him wake up a little.
If he hadn't stopped Zhixue from joining ANBU, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened...
"Shisui!" The dozen or so people who came from the window were shocked to see Shisui in such a mental state.
What kind of painful torture has Shisui experienced in the past two days? How could he become like this?
10 minutes later...
One against Seven tied the last bandage on Shisui's arm, and seeing that Shisui's eyes seemed to have lost their light and dreams, and were only left with regret and grief, he shook his shoulder seriously.
"Shisui, please wake up. You are the genius of the Uchiha clan! The clan is still waiting for your efforts to fight for peace with Konoha!"
"I'm awake, Itachi, but I'm tired. I'm a waste. Even though I bear the title of genius of the Uchiha clan, I train and do tasks day and night to bring together the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha. Nor can I protect what I hold dear."
"But…"
"One against seven, think about it, if Sasuke dies in a ninja commission in the future, can you still remain calm? So, let me rest for a while... It only takes one day..." Shisui lowered his voice. Head, said to Itachi in a deep voice.
Itachi was stunned. He seemed to have never thought about this problem, but he still followed Shisui's wishes and left here. At the same time, he began to doubt the meaning of "protection" in his heart.
By becoming stronger, can you really protect what you want to protect?
……
It was already the third day after the explosion. The White Snake Immortal, who was sitting cross-legged on a stone chair and transformed into an old lady, suddenly nodded.
"It's about time. She's practicing so fast. Her current sage mode can break away from the natural energy of Ryūchi Cave, allowing her to return to Konoha."
Ichikishima Hime was stunned when she heard this.
It's only the third day, isn't it too early? Even a race like them with innate advantages needs nearly a month to be able to use the immortal mode in the outside world.
"White Snake Immortal, is this time..."
"Don't worry, the time has come. We don't need to keep her here for too long. Remember to sign the psychic contract before sending her away."
"That's...ok." Ichikishimahime sighed. Since the White Snake Sage has already said so, she can just do it. She quite likes this cute little guy, especially cooking, which is better than their own. The food made by humans tastes much better.
Arriving at the room where Zhixue lived, Ichikishimahime saw a burst of blue-green light flashing around Zhixue. A layer of pale white chakra patterns appeared on Zhixue sitting on the bed. Two tiny lin horns sprouted from the black hair. The lavender eye shadow embellishes Zhixue's body, adding a calm aura.
Although the sage mode practiced by Zhixue is the same as the later Yakushi Kabuto, it is more perfect than it. It does not require the help of the white snake to absorb natural energy, and the physical changes are minimal.
After learning the Immortal Mode, Zhixue's skin only became whiter and more tender, as crystal clear as gelatin. After turning on the sage mode, only the celestial energy similar to the chakra coat appears around the body, and details such as eye shadow, snake eyes and dragon horns change.
The only pity is that I only learned the immortal mode and did not learn similar immortal skills in detail.
Chapter 46, Departure, Return to the Fire Nation
"Is this so? I just planned to leave. Thank you for your hospitality during this time." Zhixue said sincerely thanking Ichikishima Hime.
It seemed that the White Snake Immortal really knew everything. He even knew when she was going to leave.
"You're welcome. If you leave, we will be reluctant to leave." Ichikishimahime sighed. The cook left and he had to go back to his ordinary life. It was a pity. Why didn't he know that human beings were so good at it? Cooking? (Zhixue: You guys just can’t bear to part with my cooking?)
"But if you want to leave, you need to take these things with you." Ichikishima-hime handed the psychic scroll of Ryūchi Cave and the cultivation scroll of Immortal Technique and Inorganic Reincarnation into Zhixue's hands.
The psychic scroll is connected to every big snake in Ryudi Cave. However, the strength of the summoned big snakes is different depending on the chakra used. For example, the Green Snake is docile, but if Wan Snake and Red Fang are summoned, , that’s really a headache.
Taking the two scrolls, Zhixue bit off his fingers on the spot and signed a psychic contract. Then he said goodbye to Ichikishima Hime and passed the third level of Ryūchi Cave. He walked out and came to a different kind of forest with thick fog. .
Zhixue took one last look back at the ferocious and majestic silver dragon gate in the mist before leaving, but he ran back less than half an hour after Zhixue left. Looking at the disappeared Longmen, she scratched her head in distress because she suddenly discovered a very embarrassing problem but she had to solve it.
That means she doesn't know the way. She was "tied" into Longdi Cave and doesn't know how to get back, let alone a map.
"Hello? Is there anyone? There are snakes, too. Give me a map, or you can show me the way!" Zhixue walked in the misty forest while observing the things around him. But even if she turned on the immortal mode, she could not find the location of Ryūchi Cave.
Zhixue:……
Damn it, every place likes to be mysterious, right?
Zhixue had to accept that Longdi Cave didn't seem to want to pay attention to her, and gradually groped her way out along the paths in the surrounding forest.
After about half an hour, through the layers of fog, Zhixue looked up at the big sun in the sky and felt a sense of intimacy.
It had been several days since she had seen the sun, but she was stifled in such a bottomless and high place like Longdi Cave where no light could be seen.
Zhixue continued walking along the path at his feet, and not long after, he discovered the corner of a hut that seemed to appear on the top of the mountain in the distance.
"Hey, you're lucky. We actually came across a village. Let's go see if there's a map or something. It's good to be able to temporarily replenish supplies."
Because Zhixue did not use the movie-level experience card, she still had a huge sum of 1000 yuan on hand. Not to mention meals and accommodation, she could also buy a house that was not luxurious.
However, as Zhixue ran happily towards the village, he suddenly felt slight earthquakes on the ground, accompanied by the frightened shouts of the villagers.
Zhixue: Huh?
"Run quickly! The scale is out of control again!"
"Help! Monster, monster!"
In the group villages composed of thatched houses, civilians on the streets were hiding in corners or shivering behind doors. Even the old village chief was no exception. Outside, there was a bird with half its body covered with black cuticles. The "monster" was painfully venting its violent power on the nearby mountain wall.
"Uh ah ah ah ah ah!" The black monster held its head in pain, and its body hit the mountain wall brutishly, making bursts of deafening sounds.
"I'm losing control!" Zhongwu squeezed his left hand. The terrifying armor that gradually solidified on it made Zhongwu's eyes become more frightened and violent.
Click...
While Jugo was using the rocks to vent his uncontrollable power to prevent nearby villagers from being harmed, the rocks on the top of the mountain loosened. With Jugo's semi-conscious and semi-violent hammering, a burst of cracks were finally torn open, and a large number of cracks were opened. Muds and stones washed down from the top.
The villagers who heard other noises stretched out their heads from the window in fear and looked at the rushing dirt in the distance, their expressions instantly turned ugly.
This abominable monster is harming the village again. If it weren't for the protection of the village chief and his strong fighting ability, he would have been secretly poisoned and thrown into the suburbs. Just these crazy days, I don't know how long I have to endure. when!
Seeing the appearance of the soil landslide, Zhonggo's pupils shrank and he wanted to step forward to push it down, but his body's increasingly anxious condition prevented him from doing so.
He... wasn't sure if the landslide would destroy the villagers' homes after this.
Just as the mud sweeping down from the mountain was about to rush in front of the villagers' houses like a wave, a high layer of earth flow wall rose from the ground, blocking the mud and gravel.
One of his toes gently touched the top of the rock wall, and Zhixue patted the dirt on his body.
Kakashi's ninjutsu, which he copied casually with the Sharingan at that time, unexpectedly came in handy at this time.
"Kill, kill you!" Zhongwu, who had been eroded by natural energy and was delirious and had no place to vent, saw Zhixue's appearance and climbed onto the ground with excitement. Bits of broken soil flew into the air, with great power. The punch hit Zhi Xue's face directly.
"Damn it, someone's going to die!" Occasionally, after the curious villagers heard the noise disappear, they secretly stretched out their heads and saw Zhonggo punching such a weak little girl like Zhixue. , his eyes suddenly opened wide.
Some villagers had even imagined Zhixue's head being shattered to pieces and blood spurting out, but the reality was not what the villagers expected.
Zhixue just used one hand to catch Zhongwu's fist, and then kicked him away with Zhongwu's stunned eyes.
Zhixue, who secretly turned on the immortal mode, shook his hand and felt a sense of relief as explosive energy came from him.
"As expected of the genuine Immortal Mode, the bonus is really powerful." Zhixue tilted his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Zhixue knew about Jugo. Later, one of the members of the Eagle Squad, Orochimaru's curse seal seemed to have been obtained from him. However, the senjutsu energy he used was very incomplete, and it was not the same as the genuine Ryūchidō Sage Mode. Being too far apart does not pose any threat to her, but she can temporarily stop it and ask the villagers about the way to the Fire Country, and replenish food sources by the way.
Chapter 47: "Libra" Jūgo
"Oh ho ho ho! Kill you!" Zhong Wu was kicked out by Zhi Xue and fell to the ground. He was silent for a while, and then his body was completely occupied by the second personality, which seemed to be covered with a layer of black armor. Generally, red fire shot out from behind and rushed towards Zhixue like a wild beast.
Listening to the whistling wind in his ears, a layer of pale white magic chakra appeared on Zhixue's body, and two small dragon horns grew out of his head. Facing Zhongwu who was blasting like a cannonball in front of him, he turned Chakra Carat condensed in his hand.
"Hahahaha!"
boom!
Hitting the target, the earth flow wall was collapsed by the powerful shock wave, and billowing dust scattered around. The villagers who were watching the battle from the windows were so frightened that they hid under the wall and did not dare to come out for fear of being pulled out by Zhongwu above. Beat him to death with a sandbag.
"The strength is pretty good, but I'm not very good at using techniques." Zhixue let go of Zhongwu's big hand, and Zhongwu's pupils shrank as he lay on the ground and made a big crater.
He, he was actually defeated by such a little guy?
Zhongwu lay in the deep pit, and the violent natural energy in his body was gradually sucked out by the small snakes transformed by immortal magic.
A flash of scarlet color flashed on Zhixue's small arms, and then it was absorbed and assimilated by the magical energy of Longdi Cave.
The curse seal in Zhongwu's body is essentially absorbing the natural energy emitted from Ryūchi Cave. All he needs to do is extract most of it out.
As the curse seal was lifted, Zhongwu's size gradually shrank, and finally turned into a child only 1 meters tall.
The village chief stuck his head out of the window and looked at the seemingly peaceful scene. After a while and confirming that there was no danger, he walked over anxiously.
"Ah, old man, do you have anything delicious at home?" Facing the old man's arrival, Zhixue said in such a simple and unpretentious manner.
Old village chief:???
10 minutes later……
Zhongwu was imprisoned in a natural dark room to calm down, and Zhixue, who had subdued Zhongwu's riot, was invited by the old village chief to his home and was warmly entertained.
After gently taking a bite of the soft cookie, Zhixue covered her cheeks with a satisfied expression.
It's sweet, something she likes, and it would be even better if it comes with some ketchup.
