Ninja World: I'm not a man anymore!

Shigulin, beside the hot spring.

Tsunade glared at Kisame and warned him to stay away from the live snake and not to think of attacking it.

Under the guidance of the clone of Living Dragon, the two are about to officially begin the practice of immortality.

Last night, by reading the senjutsu training experience left by Hashirama, both of them understood the function of the hot spring in front of them.

As Huo Li said, the first step in practicing immortality is to soak in hot springs.

The two of them need to soak their bodies in the hot spring for several days or even longer.

In this process, the spring water rich in natural energy will be gradually absorbed by the two people through contact with their bodies, thereby completing the "natural activation" of the cells in their bodies.

After reaching the state of natural activation, the cells in the two people's bodies can passively absorb natural energy, just like breathing and heartbeat, becoming an instinct of their bodies.

At that time, the two of them can be like Senju Hashirama back then. They can instantly enter sage mode anytime, anywhere by clasping their hands together and shouting.

In comparison, Miaomushan's Sage Mode requires a lot of time to prepare before it can be activated every time, which makes it seem inferior.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

After natural activation transformed their bodies, it would also bring about a side effect - accelerating the division of cells in the body.

In a person's life, the number of cell divisions in the body is limited, only about fifty times, and then death occurs.

Although natural activation will not reduce the number of cell divisions, it will shorten its division cycle, thereby reducing the life of the practitioner.

For example, the ninja god Senju Hashirama.With the human body of an immortal, he should have a very long lifespan, and it would not be a problem to live for a hundred or two hundred years.

However, due to the side effects of natural activation, even the immortal body could not bear it and died before the age of 50.

Not to mention ordinary people, even if they barely learn the Shigu Forest Immortal Technique, they can live for a few years.

But live larvae are different from humans.

It is a mollusk with a special body structure that allows it to divide itself infinitely into small slugs, which means that its cells have no upper limit to the number of times they can divide.

Therefore, the living dragon can continuously absorb natural energy over a long period of time, allowing itself to multiply indefinitely, and eventually become the largest creature in the entire ninja world.

However, the live beetles also paid a price.

Although it did not have to worry about the side effects of natural activation, and instead had a near-eternal life by absorbing natural energy, its uncontrolled division caused its size to over-expand, and in the end it almost merged with this wet bone forest.

This is the sorrow of a living creature.

Back to the topic.

For Kisame and Tsunade, to overcome the side effects of natural activation, they must enter the second step, which is "balance."

They must learn to use their own consciousness to control the activated cells in the body so that they can absorb natural energy every minute and reduce the rate of division to an acceptable level.

Finally a dynamic balance is reached.

For example, the life span of two people is like the water in a reservoir. The activated cells are like a water pipe, continuously draining the water out of the pool, causing the two people to lose their life span and die quickly.

The way to solve this problem is to turn consciousness into a flow-limiting valve and install it on the water pipe.

Normally it is a trickle, but when it comes to fighting in immortal mode, the valve is opened wide, allowing the flow to reach maximum in an instant.

It can be seen that the difficulty of practicing Shigulin Immortal Technique is much greater than that of Miaomu Mountain and Longdi Cave, but it is also the most powerful.

Once mastered, the caster can not only enter the sage mode very quickly, but also receive an increase in the chakra of the celestial being, which is several times or even ten times that of the celestial arts of Miaomu Mountain and Ryūchi Cave.

After all, it is an enchantment performed at the cost of accelerating cell division and burning lifespan.

"Tsunade-sama, Kisame-sama, before you enter this hot spring, I want to give you one last warning."

The live snake raised a pair of tentacles, and its usually gentle voice became serious, "Once you start practicing magic in Shigulin, you can't stop it, because the natural activation of cells is like cancer, and there is no way to cure it. , will accompany you throughout the rest of your life until the end of your life.”

"I understand, Slug Immortal."

Kisame nodded, his eyes burning.

In his opinion, the celestial arts of Shigulin are the most powerful force in the ninja world today.To obtain this power, one must pay a price, even if the price is his lifespan.

Moreover, Kisame believes that there must be a way to reach the mountain, and there will be a solution to any problem.

After he obtains the magic, he will find a way to use this power to evolve himself again, and finally achieve a leap in life level.

By then, the side effects of natural cell activation may be self-evident.

"I've thought about it too."

After a moment of silence, Tsunade said solemnly.

Back then, her grandfather Senju Hashirama fought against his old enemy Uchiha Madara for a day and a night. Although he finally won the victory, Hashirama also fell seriously ill after that battle and died soon after.

Tsunade has been troubled for many years. How could her grandfather die of a serious illness with his body immune to all diseases?You know, even if he is seriously injured, he can heal himself without seal. He is a god-like existence.

Now she finally understood that it was because of Shigulin's magic.

Senju Hashirama fought for many years and suppressed the entire ninja world.But in the process, he also overdrafted his body due to his frequent use of magic.

After the battle with Madara, Hashirama was finally unable to control the natural activation of cells in his body, so the ninja god soon fell.

After realizing the true cause of her grandfather's death, Tsunade could not contain a strong obsession.

She wanted to walk the path Senju Hashirama had walked again, learn the magic of Shigulin, and use her own power to find a solution to the side effects of natural cell activation.

If she could do this, Izumi Senju Hashirama would definitely be proud of this precious granddaughter.

"Compared with the air of Mt. Myoboku and the soil of Ryuji Cave, the concentration of natural energy in this hot spring is much higher, so it is easy to lose control during the practice. But don't worry, two adults, my clone will be there to help. You guys, try to avoid any accidents."

The living slug said this, and its three-meter-high body split into dozens of small slugs again, divided into two groups and came to the two of them respectively.

Tsunade frowned and glanced at Kisame, then pointed at the hot spring and said:

"In this pool, each of us has half, you on the left and I on the right. How about this so we don't interfere with each other?"

"no problem."

Kisame nodded readily and began to take off his coat and shoes on the spot.Soon, he was wearing only a pair of shorts and walked swaggering towards the hot spring.

"Humph."

Tsunade looked at Kisame's back, snorted softly, and turned to the other side of the hot spring.

She stood on the shore, unbuttoned her clothes, and took off the green windbreaker with the word "Gamble" printed on the back, revealing the white swimsuit she had put on at some point underneath.

The style is a bit conservative, but with Tsunade's figure, it's really not suitable for bolder styles.

She entered the hot spring carefully. Her snow-white skin came into contact with the warm water, becoming smoother and slipperier. Against the backdrop of the mist, she was full of temptation.

As long as a normal man sees this scene, his blood will inevitably rise and he will be unable to resist.

Tsunade was also worried that Kisame would peek at her, but when she glanced at Kisame, she realized that he didn't even look at her.

Instead, he interacted cordially with a group of little slugs with a smile on his face.

谷冲

Obviously, in Kisame's eyes, slugs are much more attractive than Tsunade wearing a swimsuit while soaking in a hot spring.

abnormal.

She cursed secretly in her mind, then stopped caring about Kisame, and prepared to start training immediately.

"Huh? Why can't I feel any changes? It's like soaking in an ordinary hot spring."

Soon, she asked the little slug beside her with a puzzled look.

"Tsunade-sama, that's because you haven't sensed the existence of natural energy yet. Before absorbing natural energy, you must first enter a state of absolute stillness, so let's start by being quiet."

The little slug prompted patiently.

So under its guidance, Tsunade tried to stretch her limbs. Due to the density of the spring water, she quickly floated to the surface like a piece of driftwood.

Then, she closed her eyes and lay on the water in a large shape. Wrapped in the warm spring water, she entered a deep state of tranquility.

On the other side, Kisame entered the training state earlier than Tsunade.

From a mental point of view, although Kisame is only in his teens, he is still a second-generation person. He does not have the lively and active habits of a teenager at all, but is deep and reserved, with incredibly strong concentration.

Tsunade, on the other hand, is 20 years older than Kisame. She is very mature physically, but sometimes she is not very mature mentally.Her personality is impatient and irritable, and she was depressed for a long time. She was addicted to alcohol and gambling, so her self-control and concentration were much weaker than Kisame.

To put it simply, it is difficult for Tsunade to eliminate all kinds of distracting thoughts in her heart, completely calm down, and enter a state of calm mind.

Therefore, even though she didn't want to lose to Kisame in the practice of senjutsu, she still fell behind from the beginning.

after an hour.

Kisame floated quietly in the hot spring, motionless, as if he had really turned into a piece of wood, rippling back and forth slightly with the flow of the spring water under him.

At this moment, he reached a state of selflessness, and his whole spirit and body were integrated into this hot spring and became a part of the world.

In this state of mind, he finally sensed the existence of natural energy.

Kisame subconsciously raised his hands in a clasped position, trying to absorb the natural energy around him.

In an instant, they were like a swarm of sharks smelling blood, swarming towards him from all directions and swarming into his body.

The natural activation of cells begins.

Kisame knew that from this second on, there was no turning back.

But there was no hesitation or fear in his heart. Instead, his heart was as strong as iron, and he fearlessly accepted the erosion of natural energy and allowed them to transform his body.

The little slugs around Kisame also crawled onto his body, clinging to his shoulders, chest muscles, abdomen, thighs and other places.

When practicing immortality, you need to stay focused throughout the process. Once you get distracted, you run the risk of being swallowed up by natural energy.

The mission of these little slugs is to sense the condition of Kisame's body at all times and help him absorb excess natural energy when he is in danger due to distraction.

1 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes.

Unconsciously, another hour passed, and Kisame's body showed no abnormalities, and the absorption of natural energy continued smoothly.

Even the Slug Immortal was surprised by this.

Kisame's aptitude was even better than what he had imagined, and even he was not as good as Senju Hashirama back then.

However, Kisame is a human being after all, and he has his limits.

At a certain moment, after maintaining concentration for several hours, Kisame was finally disturbed by his thoughts and broke away from the state of absolute stillness.

The next second, a thrilling scene happened.

gurgling.

The spring water under Kisame suddenly bubbled in large quantities, as if the water was boiling.

His hair grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly changing from short hair to shoulder-length hair, and showed no signs of stopping.

What's even more frightening is that Kisame's right ear suddenly split and a third ear grew; a sixth finger also grew next to his left thumb.

This is the devouring of people by natural energy.

In the process of practicing Myobokuzan Senjutsu, if you fail, you will grow frog eyes, nose and webs, until you finally turn into a frog statue.

In the Shiky Bone Forest, the risk of practicing immortality is that the cell division in the human body will be completely out of control, splitting into a large number of limbs and organs in a short period of time, and ultimately turning the loser into a deformed flesh and blood monster.

Seeing that Kisame's condition is about to deteriorate further.

The little slugs lying on his body quickly moved to suck away the violent natural energy from his body.

After a while, Kisame's appearance returned to normal and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Thank you, live slugs." He smiled and expressed his gratitude to the little slugs.

"Kissame-sama, your spirit is very tired. Let's stop here for today's practice. Don't force yourself too much."

The little slug suggested kindly.

"Well, that makes sense, haste makes waste."

Kisame nodded, not trying to be brave, but readily accepted the suggestion.

So he swam ashore and got dressed.

At this time, Kisame had time to look at the other side of the hot spring, curious about Tsunade's training progress.

Unexpectedly, most of the day passed, and she still could not enter a state of calmness.

"Damn it, it failed again."

Tsunade opened her eyes with an annoyed look on her face. Just now, she was almost able to sense the existence of natural energy, but unfortunately her mind became confused again at the last moment.

When she was upset, she found that Kisame had completed the first day of training and was watching her from the shore.

Kisame smiled at Tsunade, shook his head, then turned and walked into his luxurious wooden house.

"I was looked down upon by this guy again."

Tsunade gritted her teeth and punched the water.

However, maybe she was stimulated by Kisame. After venting her negative emotions, she quickly calmed down, closed her eyes again, and devoted herself to practice.

Finally, Kung Fu pays off.

After trying again and again, Tsunade also successfully sensed the existence of natural energy and couldn't wait to start absorbing it.

All she was thinking about was catching up with Kisame.

at dusk.

"what!"

A scream came from outside the house, attracting Kisame's attention and causing him to walk out.

It turns out that something went wrong with Tsunade.
