Chapter 1050: The Formation of Ninjutsu
The battle outside the Heavenly Church attracted the attention of many outsiders, but the native residents of the Kingdom of Lulucia hid in their houses and trembled.
Those poor creatures who always stay in one day never have the chance to be on the table. They can only be used as a dish to be eaten by the strong.
"Is the Black Order a new bounty hunter organization?"
Because of Zoro's training on the Hades Island, he has been in a state of information isolation for a long time. The news bird can only stay outside the island, and if it dares to enter the island, it will become Xu's food.
Luffy promised his friends to meet again in five years. The newspaper was passed through Uchiha Shisui, from Kusaka Yachiryu, and finally fell into Zoro's hands.
Apart from eating and sleeping, Green Algae Head spends the rest of his time practicing Kanxu. His daily work schedule is very full and he has no interest in understanding changes in the outside world.
"Violent organizations that appear in the name of religion are treated equally by pirates and the navy. If they have anything to do with demons, they will be dealt with by the exorcists themselves."
As Shisui's crow finished speaking, the air around them suddenly seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, and strange spatial fluctuations appeared around Zoro without any warning.
The waves were like a huge rock thrown into the water surface, and ripples spread out in irregular shapes. As the ripples continued to surge, they gradually showed a tendency to solidify.
A moment later, Uchiha Shisui's true form appeared beside him. Shisui was wearing a black suit with red cloud patterns faintly visible on his clothes, and his hair fluttered gently in the wind.
Although he only has one Mangekyō Sharingan left, Shisui's strength cannot be underestimated. This time he appeared suddenly without hiding behind the scenes, making Zoro realize that things might be developing in a bad direction.
"The Uchiha clan? They rarely appear even in the underworld." When Kuina saw Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan light up, she remembered the files she had seen in the Death God's Archives Room.
The Uchiha clan once flourished in the original land of what is now the Country of Wano, relying on the spread of power through blood, but things are never perfect.
While God bestowed benefits on the Uchiha clan, he also shaped their personalities into one extreme after another, eventually leading to a civil strife.
Due to internal fighting, the Uchiha clan eventually died out and could no longer make any waves at sea. They were considered antiques that were eliminated by the times.
There are very few Uchiha clan members as emotionally stable as Shisui in history. He is considered an outlier in the family.
Shisui has been lucky enough to survive until now after moving to many places. Although his kind-hearted character often exploits him and makes him a pawn of someone.
"Those two exorcists are retreating. The weirdo wielding the sickle may not have shown his true strength yet."
Zoro felt that Hidan was just enjoying the process of fighting, similar to the playfulness of a cat before killing a mouse, and as a hunter, his attitude was extremely arrogant.
The bloody slash that was released at will had very tricky attack angles and ranges, and was not something a normal swordsman could use. Could it be that the opponent was a devil fruit user?
Zoro has never met a person with the ability of a fruit that uses his own blood to fight, but he admires him very much. Is it possible that the blood in the human body will not run out one day?
"He is not a Devil Fruit user. He is a ninja who has learned ninjutsu. He uses his own blood to maintain his ninjutsu. Blood escape is not common even if it was pushed back hundreds of years ago."
Shisui saw the process of Hidan forming hand seals, and found that the hand seals formed with one hand were already better than those of ordinary ninjas. He didn't understand why a monster like this had been hiding until now?
Zoro, who had no access to information, of course did not know the existence of ninjutsu. This form of attack had been lost for hundreds of years.
If people today can use ninjutsu, it is probably because they have some incredible opportunity or have found the cemetery of ancient ninjas. Otherwise, the cost of learning ninjutsu is quite expensive.
Shisui roughly explained to the man and woman around him how ninjutsu came about, and how it was inextricably linked to devil fruits, similar to the difference between the authentic and the fake.
Devil fruits are unique. After a creature in this world eats one fruit, it cannot normally eat a second one, and the body cannot become a container for two devil fruits.
The rarity of Devil Fruits has led to active imitation by previous generations, who created various types of Ninjutsu based on the Devil Fruits they have seen before.
The conditions for using ninjutsu are very harsh. If one does not have enough talent and cannot absorb external natural energy, then the ninjutsu cannot be used and will only become a mere decoration without any attack power.
In the era when the Uchiha clan dominated, ninjas who were proficient in ninjutsu were rare. If one relied on external forces to become a ninja, his lifespan would be greatly reduced.
Eventually, because they could not withstand more natural energy, they died from the erosion of energy and their bodies exploded. Every ninja is an energy bomb with the potential for uncontrolled self-destruction.
The reason why ninjutsu has not been passed down is because of this reason. The learning conditions are too harsh and the risks are too high. However, most people die on the road to learning.
The reason why the Uchiha clan is so powerful is that they rely on the Sharingan, which is inherited through their bloodline and can sense the energy direction of others and themselves.
After systematic learning within the tribe, the frequency of receiving natural energy can be adjusted, and most of the time natural energy is concentrated in the brain and vital organs.
"It's really a dangerous power, no wonder it hasn't been passed down." Zoro feels that it would be easier to find a devil fruit than to learn ninjutsu.
He suddenly felt a little worried. Would Shisui explode next to him one day? This was a dangerous thought.
There is no good land left near the square of the Heavenly Religion. There are gullies everywhere left by the chopping and killing. There is nothing left.
The mysterious toxin contained in the blood shield not only caused Kanda Yu to be severely poisoned, but also polluted the land.
The groundwater nearby is definitely not drinkable in the short term. If a person who is not afraid of death drinks the poisonous water, even if it has been diluted, he will die from poisoning on the spot.
Kanda Yu actively burned his own lifespan to allow Liu Huan to enter a higher state, and only then was he able to barely suppress the poison in his body, which only stayed near his limbs.
This time, the two exorcists of the Black Cult were a little too arrogant and underestimated the power that the Heaven Cult could command.
An undead monster with a sickle easily overwhelmed the two exorcists, leaving Kanda Yu and Rabbi trapped outside the church.
"Temporarily retreat, we still have a chance"
In the dim courtyard, the atmosphere was as tense as a taut bowstring, and a mist suddenly appeared around the rabbi.
The rabbi quickly used the Heavenly Judgment: Summoning Clouds and Mist. Mist quietly gushed out from the ground, and seemed to condense out of thin air, quickly spreading and gradually covering the exorcist's figure.
"Want to escape!" Feiduan approached with a look of shock, trying to break through the strange mist and catch the two exorcists.
As time went by, the mist became thicker, like a thick curtain that completely concealed the exorcist.
When Hidan later entered the fog, he found that the Exorcist was nowhere to be seen, and the entire fog covered the surrounding area, obscuring the ability to see and interfering with subsequent detection methods.
The first clash between the evil god cult and the black cult ended in this way
