Gou is cultivating immortality in Hokage

While Chiba and clones No. 3 and 4 were having a small meeting to discuss future development routes, clone No. 2 was driving at full speed in the direction of Konoha Village. He could already feel that he was on the verge of disbandment. He could return after disbanding, but the items he carried with him could not be returned.

In the evening, Chiba was continuing to decipher the structure of the Substitution Technique with his clones, when he remembered the sound of opening the door and No. 2 came in.

The clone handed over a bag and said: "No more words, main body, you take this first. My time is almost up, you will understand everything soon."

No. 3 took the bag, handed it to Chiba's main body, and asked, "No. 2, what happened to you like this? It looks like you are very exhausted."

Clone No. 2 glanced at it. He was the clone who came out yesterday. He had no memory of when Clone No. 3 and Clone No. 4 came out. "It's quite troublesome to explain in detail. I'll know after I disband the main body. I'll briefly talk about my situation first. I encountered a battle, but it's not particularly urgent. The detonating talisman I made yesterday has been used, so it's passed the test. The stability and power are both acceptable. In addition, I have used the wind blade of the wind blade twice and the wind sickle once. The instantaneous technique lasted for more than half an hour. The chakra was consumed too fast, otherwise the clone The maximum maintenance time should be able to be increased.”

He paused and then said, "Okay, I already feel that I can't hold on any longer, and it's probably time. The main body, the limit test of the avatar is almost the result, you will explain it later."

With a "bang", a burst of smoke dissipated, leaving only a paper figure floating down from the air.

The clone's memory recorded that Qianye was in a daze for a moment, then quickly regained consciousness and stepped forward to pick up the paper man. "Okay." He looked up at No. 3 and No. 4. "Then let me explain the situation." He said slowly from the perspective of clone No. 2.

After the clone separated outside the village, he wandered around the forest near Konoha for a while. In order to test the extreme distance, after identifying the direction, he rushed all the way to the special training base during the summer vacation.

When Chiba went there, he used the teleportation technique and ran for more than two hours. The distance was only fifty kilometers. The clone spent the whole morning rushing to the vicinity of the special training base, and found that he was already showing signs of instability. He knew in his heart that this was almost the limit of distance. A few months later, the temporary camp at that time had been covered by weeds and shrubs. He didn't waste much time and walked back.

As a result, when passing by Liuhe Village again, he was discovered by the villagers. The villagers still remembered the little ninja who had defeated the giant wild boar and held a barbecue party in the village. They greeted him warmly and quickly greeted the village chief.

Then, the clone was entrusted with a new task by the enthusiastic village chief Sanada. When they were clearing up wasteland, they encountered wildly growing vines near forests and river mouths. And when trying to clear it, they were attacked. They wanted to use fire attack, but the village lacked kerosene and couldn't ignite it on a large scale.

After some description, clone number two also became interested in this kind of attacking vine and readily accepted the task. When I went to investigate, I found that it was just a patch of creepers. It was far different from the expected piranha flowers. It was just a little larger, covering an area of ​​several acres.

In line with the principle of never wasting anything, the clone used the detonating charm. Anyway, it is common sense that plants like this are afraid of fire. Then, the clone finally saw it. The ivy that was hit by the explosion did not damage its roots. It stood upright like an animal's hair. The crazy twisted vines quickly surrounded it, and the winding power was surprisingly strong. The clone's body relied on the spell talisman. Chiba released it at the beginning. There wasn't much chakra injected into the Tokage clone, so he couldn't use large-scale fire escape. More importantly, the clone discovered that these vines actually had the power to absorb chakra.

Fortunately, the clone's cautious character was completely derived from the original body. When he found something was wrong, he immediately released the wind escape ninjutsu and used the wind sickle flurry to cut through the encirclement. After quickly breaking away from the battle, he was surprised to find that the dense ivy vines were dancing relentlessly. With its branches, it has a completely different momentum from ordinary plants. It really looks a bit like a man-eating tree.

The clone did not dare to fall in again, so it relied on its speed advantage to cut off a section of the vine, and then warned the villagers not to get too close. On the pretext of going back to Konoha to prepare, it quickly came back.

After Chiba explained the general experience, he asked No. 3 and No. 4, "What do you think? Plant attributes, absorbing chakra, and twisting and moving branches, it all looks like Wood Release."

"It shouldn't be Wood Release, or at least not a serious Wood Release. Vines and trees should be two different things, right? By the way, green plants like ivy and Konoha are quite common, right?" No. 3 commented.

"Ignore whether it is a wood escape for the moment, at least it is a mutated plant. Although the attributes seem to be very powerful, it should not be strong in all aspects, otherwise No. 2 will not be able to escape, and you will have already received the memory."

Qianye thought carefully and said, "Well, I agree with your judgment. And I just had an idea. Do you think necromancy can contract plants?"

No. 3 immediately answered: "Not sure, I am learning the art of necromancy in the end. Without the structure and operating principle of the art, the little speculation before is not practical. However, if there is a scroll as an intermediary, as long as both parties agree, using blood as the If you agree, you can sign a psychic contract."

"Do plants like ivy also have blood? Is it okay to use juice?"

"Still not sure, but I guess the blood only provides information to both parties. The most important thing is that both parties agree on this." No. 3 continued to answer.

"That's a bit troublesome. Plant, will he have the consciousness to agree to the contract?"

"Then it depends on how you define consciousness. According to your description, the mutant ivy at least shows some intelligence and can respond to attacks from the outside. By the way, didn't Number 2 bring back a vine? Bring it here Take a look." Number Three asked.

Yes. Qianye immediately went to dig through the bag, and inside there was a vine as long as a forearm and as thick as a little finger, with a few leaves and thin tendrils.

The three Chiba gathered in a circle and observed carefully.

The curved vines lay quietly on the ground, and No. 4 stretched out his hand to fiddle with it, "Didn't you say it would move? Eh~, it really moved." As No. 4's fingers came closer, the tendrils of silk tendrils moved slightly. Twisting, facing the direction of number four. Number Four felt so frightened that he retracted his hand.

"It seems like you can sense chakra, but the distance is very short." Chiba concluded. While stretching out his fingers, he slowly approached. As his fingertips came into contact with the vines, there was no reaction. "Huh? No. 4, please reach out and take a look again."

Number Four stretched out his hand and the tendrils moved twice more.

"Well, it's probably because the clone is an energy body and will have a greater reaction. If the main body does not use chakra, there will be no reaction." Chiba continued to conclude. He stretched out two fingers and pinched the leaves. I saw a few leaves quickly twisting in the direction of being pinched, and pulled Qianye's arm.

"It will also react if it is attacked. With this kind of force, no wonder the villagers can't handle it."

Chiba withdrew his arm, condensed a little chakra on the tip of his index finger, and stretched out towards the vine. The vines responded quickly. Not only a few tendrils, but the entire body was bending in the direction of chakra.

Chiba simply "feeded" his index finger to the vine. Anyway, such a small section would not cause any harm. The leaves and tendrils wrapped around the index finger, and in Chiba's perception, the strands of chakra seemed to be pulled and sucked away. Inexplicably, Chiba felt that the vine was very happy, as if it also had the function of spiritual resonance.

Qianye withdrew his arm again and made a pinching motion with three fingers. Ninpo Technique - The art of heating up a pump. (It’s been so long, do you still remember this technique?) The chakra ball quickly compressed the air, forming a small ball. The extreme compression created high-temperature air. Slowly stretch the ball toward the ivy's blades. At the moment of contact, the blades twisted in the opposite direction, as if they were burned.

"I'm very repellent to high temperatures. Finally, I'll try the damaging effects of ninjutsu."

Chiba thought for a while, this thing didn't seem to be resistant to slashing, and a small wind blade popped out from his finger and easily cut off a small section of the vine. I pinched both ends and pulled it, it felt very tough. Handing it to No. 3, he said, "Ivy can be propagated by cuttings, right? Why don't you find a flower pot and plant it in a while?"

Chiba took a deep breath and threw the remaining vines into the air. He made a seal with his left hand and held it empty with his right hand. He adjusted the chakra output and used the Fire Release - Fire Ball Technique.

With the release of fire escape, the vines struggled in the flames and slowly burned to ashes after landing.

After the test, Chiba took out a small notebook and started recording, and called No. 3 and No. 4 to discuss countermeasures. He also found a flower pot and planted the remaining vines. Well, he just threw it into the flower pot and poured some water.

No. 4 spoke first: "This plant is quite capable of restraining physical ninjas without group damage, but it's no problem for us. Prepare more fire starters, just a few fireballs. In order to prevent it from having the ability to move, you can First use earth escape to create a wall to encircle it."

Number 3 also followed up and said: "Of course, elimination is only the last resort. Before that, let's try to see if we can contract into a psychic beast or use it in other ways. We all understand the meaning of the original body. This kind of thing is suspected of having wood escape attributes. Plants are of great value for research.”

Chiba also participated in the discussion: "Yes. The wooden escape is a very meaningful sample. The first Hokage's wooden escape is really very suspicious. It has some properties of the sacred tree of the Otsutsuki clan. And the complete version of the sacred tree, I even suspect that it is a biological weapon of the Otsutsuki clan, or even one that can turn into a living spacecraft. Therefore, in view of the importance of wood escape, it is absolutely necessary to clarify this ivy incident."

"Moreover, I don't know if there are other samples. If it is the only one, the village has not received the news yet, otherwise it is very likely that it will pay attention. Mudun means too much to Konoha, even if it is a simplified version. "

"Well, we need to hurry up. It's best to set off now and get it done overnight. Then tomorrow we can arrange for a clone to perform in the small village and treat it as if it has suddenly disappeared. Anyway, the villagers don't understand. There is a big problem. It might not attract Konoha’s attention.”

"Yes. But we need to formulate a battle plan immediately." Chiba concluded.
