Nagato carrying rice in Konoha

"What's the meaning?"

Nagato frowned, and at Slug's signal, he "looked" again at the "X-ray" in his mind.

Inside, I am young and handsome, and the black stick stuck on my back looks like a peacock spreading its tail.

······

"You mean, this thing has affected my physical development?"

After Nagato was stunned for a moment, he spoke.

"Nonsense~~!"

"Is it that serious??"

"You know better, don't you?!!"

Nagato recalled his former "Skeleton King" form in his mind...

"In short, after you ended your act of self-mutilation, your fairy body returned to normal growth, allowing your chakra volume to reach its current level. Of course, fairy magic may also have played a certain role in this process. .”

"Isn't this normal?"

Nagato could understand what the slug said, but he always felt that this was not something that should happen to normal humans.

"There is nothing unusual about you Uzumaki clan..."

Slug sneered, "Why else would I have maintained a contractual relationship with the Uzumaki Clan before? I had long expected that the Uzumaki Clan would be the most likely to learn the Immortal Technique of the Shiky Bone Forest. Unfortunately, I didn't expect..."

At this point, Slug's voice gradually dropped to silence.

"Oh~~ It turns out you were raised by the Uzumaki clan."

Nagato's eyes lit up at this moment, as if he understood and suddenly realized.

"Rude brat!! I have been around for much longer than the history of your family!!"

The slug raised his voice and screamed angrily.

"Haha." Nagato smiled indifferently, too lazy to speak.

Should he still tell this big bug about the affairs of the Yanhuang clan?Whenever I take out a Xuanyuan Sword, I will scare it to death!

"I understand. Anyway, let's just jump in now and be done with it, right?"

As long as there is a reliable explanation for the inexplicable increase in chakra volume, Nagato is about to jump into the black pool.

"Well, just like last time, I will also convey the specific practice methods to you directly at the conscious level."

Immortal Slug was still talking, but at this time, he could only hear.

"Plop—!"

Nagato had already jumped into the black pool.

"Really...can't you just listen to what people say?"

Slug complained loudly.

The red cloud and black robe on Nagato's body quickly disappeared from his body under the corrosion of the pond water, and he was too lazy to care about it.

Different from the painful experience when he jumped into the black pool last time, in Nagato's eyes now, this black pool is no different from a bathhouse. He happily swam in it, looking very relaxed.

Until Immortal Slug conveyed all the cultivation methods to him.

"What——? So exaggerated?"

Nagato was suddenly not in the mood to swim, and had a shocked expression on his face.

"That's right! Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a high requirement for the amount of chakra. Just like using medical ninjutsu to repair muscles only requires less chakra, but repairing internal organs requires a lot of chakra. If you want to become The complete transformation of a slug into an immortal requires huge amounts of natural energy."

"No, I'm talking about transforming internal organs, isn't it too painful? Is the practice in your place a human being able to bear?"

Nagato had doubts about the nature of the slug. This insect was probably the real evil pervert.

"...Do you want to learn or not?"

The slug was silent for a while and then shouted, feeling a little angry and embarrassed...

"Okay, okay, let's get started."

Nagato quickly surrendered. Anyway, with his current level of immortality, he really couldn't bear it anymore, and he could forcefully stop this kind of practice of a bag of rice.

After making up his mind, Nagato followed the method given by Slug Immortal and began to inhale the special acid in the black pool. After wrapping it with a large amount of magic, it penetrated the skin and muscles and poured it into his own internal organs and bones.

"Hey~~~!"

The entire Black Pool began to tremble violently as Nagato began to absorb the energy within it. At the same time, Nagato's whole body twitched in pain, and loud gasps of air echoed in the sky above the Black Pool.

If we talk about the last time he practiced magic, it was as painful as deep-frying his body in a hot oil pan.This time's practice is equivalent to cutting open the belly, scooping up boiling oil and pouring it on the five internal organs and six lungs.

The difficulty and pain index are not on the same level at all, and the most terrifying thing is that in such an inhuman situation, he has to stay awake at all times and perfectly control the process of immortalization of every cell in his body.

Such clear pain was a bit unbearable even for him, a Mida-bearing man.

"Slug, you are the pervert, the smelly pervert, the dead pervert, the one with a nice voice!!!"

Nagato was in unbearable pain, so he opened his mouth and started to curse, which made Slug Sento silent and didn't bother to pay attention to his screams! !

"Humph!"

The slug turned his head to the side to show that he heard nothing!

Moreover, its wet bone forest is big enough that no matter how Nagato calls, it will not affect the sleep of others. The two good children, Konan and Tsunade, sleep soundly without being affected by Nagato at all!

In this way, Nagato's angry scolding continued until midnight. Several times during this period, he felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, but his perseverance to not give up halfway still allowed him to persevere.

Unknowingly, after he completed his practice and transformed all the cells in his body with acid, the entire black pool had turned into a pool of crystal clear water.

The moonlight shines on it with intoxicating light.

The thick fog that shrouded the Black Pool like a green spider web has completely dissipated.

Ever since they saw Nagato, the red-haired man, shrinking at the edge of the black pool, the trembling resentful spirits looked at each other in surprise. The distorted expressions on their faces gradually calmed down, and the fire of hatred in their eyes , also quickly dimmed, like liquid in a dark pool, becoming clear again.

They looked at the full moon in the night sky, and in the silver moonlight, they unanimously bowed to Nagato, who was soaking in the water and fell asleep from exhaustion.The body first turned into a transparent energy form, and then quickly dissipated, disappearing into the beautiful night.

"Hmph, I asked him to complete it as expected. Damn it, my heir to the immortal arts of Shigu Forest is not cute at all. Ahhh, what is wrong with this?"

Slug Sento muttered unhappily for a while, but did not disturb Nagato's sleep, and returned to silence underground.

Although he was completely asleep, Nagato's body instinct still kept him above the water.

In the dream, he felt like he had turned into an insect, crawling slowly in the dark underground. His soft body could adapt to any underground environment, and his mood was cute.He didn't care about anything happening in the world, because the natural energy always enveloped him, making him extremely satisfied.

The scene turned and he saw a towering tree.

It was a truly towering tree. Its trunk reached straight to the sky, and it seemed to be integrated with the whole world. Fragments of sunlight shone through the dense branches and leaves, just like the stars in the night sky. It was so beautiful.

The branches swayed and the wind rustled.

He was stunned and couldn't believe that there were such beautiful things in this world.

And before he knew it, his body was no longer an insect that could lie down on a leaf and sleep.

Because in his eyes, human beings who used to be like giants have now become as small as dust, a bit strange, but insignificant.
