Gou is cultivating immortality in Hokage

"Hi~, I...I am a tiger~" Hua Bao spoke word by word.

"It's not Tiger, it's Lord Tiger. You know, he's an elder. Well, you don't have to worry about that, it's just very powerful." Qianye taught patiently.

"Master Hu, I am Master Hu. You... are Qiuyuan Chiba, my contractor." Master Hu learned quite quickly.

"Yes, I am Qianye. I am your contractor." Qianye smiled. "Hey, Master Hu, do you know where you are now?"

"I'm in the forest, and I'm here too. Here~, this is fake." Master Hu described it according to his own understanding.

"Huh? Fake?" Qianye was confused and pulled a handful of vines. "Uh, look, if I touch you, can you feel it?"

"Um"

"Then it's not false. This is my consciousness space. Therefore, you who are channeled through me are also your spiritual body and your consciousness." Qianye explained to Mr. Hu.

Master Hu didn't hesitate and quickly asked his question, "Why is the sun we saw in the morning in front and not above?"

"Well, because we are flying very high and the planet is round, you think the sun comes out from the front." Qianye explained to Master Hu. "It's just a matter of perspective."

"I don't quite understand. I've never flown before." Master Hu understood from his own perspective. "But I roughly understand. I can see birds on the leaves on the ground, but on the leaves on the cliff, I can see birds on the side."

Yo, I really didn’t expect that. That's right, the human body is highly concentrated, unlike plants like ivy, where different parts have different perspectives.

Chiba suddenly thought of a question, "Then the part of you that is separated from the body is still you? Can you feel it?"

"Yes, that's me too. I'm watching you sleep."

"You mean the cut off part in the flower pot?" Chiba asked.

"Yes, that's me too. A bit... well, just like the two of you who burned me with hot air before." Mr. Hu explained.

"Oh, that's the clone. I'm sorry, I burned you then. Well, I really want to say it wasn't intentional, but I'm sorry anyway." Chiba quickly apologized.

He understood that every part of Master Hu's body was one, even the parts that were cut off. It’s not that hard to understand either. It is impossible for plant vines to transmit various signals like humans. It took hundreds of millions of years for animals to evolve something as convenient as the nervous system.

Therefore, Master Hu's consciousness should not be connected and preserved by the body. It's the wonderful changes that occur after being demonized. Mr. Hu can think and speak, but the body of the ivy cannot have such complex functions and really cannot provide them.

Hey, let’s talk about talking. Master Hu's body can't speak yet, but now that he is in the sea of ​​consciousness, the two communicate with each other through consciousness, which is only expressed in language.

Suddenly the image of Lord Tiger grew taller in Chiba's heart. The consciousness of this demonized plant seemed to be a kind of soul. I understand somewhat. Indeed, whether animals or plants have not gone through that evolutionary path, it stands to reason that they cannot have the thinking and language abilities like humans.

But the monster type can think and behave like humans. It should have a soul, which is consistent with some of Qianye's previous thoughts. That is to say, monsters are the ones who become wise through demonization, while humans are innately wise.

Because only with wisdom can we embark on the path of cultivation. At least you need low-level wisdom to have the vague instinct to practice. In the ninja world, animals and plants that have not been demonized do not have spirits. No matter how powerful the body is, it can only accumulate vitality but cannot refine chakra.

No wonder monsters and mutated plants like Mr. Tiger like to make psychic contracts with ninjas. The contract is shared by both parties, and the psychic beast can also follow the ninja to make his consciousness a little more complicated.

Chiba had some ideas. "Hey, Master Hu, if your body can be expanded many times, can you let me use it?"

"What is the use? Do you also want to grow? Absorb sunlight and air?" Master Hu asked strangely.

"Well, it's not the same. Although it's still growth in a certain sense." Chiba replied.

"Yes, the art of channeling connects the origins of you and me. As long as both parties agree, they can be used by both parties." Master Hu agreed.

Chiba became happy after the deal was settled, and he suddenly had happy thoughts. "Hey, Mr. Hu, you are in my consciousness now. Can I change your image? I'll try."

Don’t wait for Master Hu to agree. Chiba imagined an image according to the way he created this world, and patted it towards Mr. Tiger's vine body.

Green skin, red hair, convex front and back, um, a three-point style with leaves added, the appearance is more European style, I guess. As a veteran who can master the art of seduction, Qianye found it not easy to design this. And it’s not a design out of thin air, Poison Ivy is.

Looking at Poison Ivy, well, in this form, let’s call her Tigress. It's a bit uncouth to call you a tiger girl? Forget it, let's call her Poison Ivy, it's really hard to come up with a name.

Poison Ivy looked at her new body curiously, "Well, it's a bit blocking the line of sight. I can't see my feet. And it's not very convenient to move."

Chiba sweated profusely, "Well, I just picked one at random. Let me tell you, although you think it's not useful, this form is definitely very powerful against ordinary old men, serious middle-aged people, etc." "Seeing that Master Hu was still dissatisfied, he said, "Forget it, why don't we change it."

Qianye imagined the image of a tree demon grandma and took a photo.

"It's inconvenient to hold my hair, and it's also inconvenient to use my hands and feet. I'm still used to using vines instead of branches."

Well, Qianye was also in a bit of a dilemma. The two tried several more times, and finally used the image of Groot, the tree man, to satisfy Mr. Tiger.

Seeing Groot playing with his vine arm, Chiba sternly discussed with Master Hu, "I thought about it and I think it is necessary to change the way I do things in the future."

"I don't understand." Groot replied. "As you do, so will I."

"Well, that's good. I'm still a little worried that you won't cooperate with me. Hey, Master Hu, you're welcome. Let's discuss it."

"No. There is no need to discuss. You are the mountain wall, and I am Master Hu. I will follow your lead." Master Hu really doesn't care. Anyway, that's the shape of the mountain.

While Qianye was happy, she also had an extra responsibility. If the wave disappears from now on, there will only be two of us.

"First of all, I need a lot of chakra to accumulate the core. However, chakra requires the combination of mind and body. My mental power should be about the same, but the difference is physical. I have to say that the human body It’s too limiting.”

"But fortunately, with your cooperation, Master Hu, I can use your life force to complete this step."

"I don't know how much this accumulated demand is, but it's just a lot. So, if you want to multiply your body, it's best to expand it dozens or hundreds of times. Not to mention reaching the size of the forest outside. scale, but it can’t be too different,”

"So, let me figure it out, we'd better find more people to do this. Only when the efficiency becomes higher can we get this done in the shortest time."

"But don't be too hasty. As for using your life force, I just have an idea. I have to figure out how to do it specifically."

"How about we make the Wood Release public? We should be able to recruit a lot of people in Konoha."

……

Rather than discussing with Master Hu, it is better to say that Chiba is talking to himself. Groot was focused on playing with his vines, changing them into various forms.

Slowly, a vague plan gradually took shape in the muttering.

If Mu Dun doesn't want to cause a war, it can only be left in Konoha.

As for Konoha, it would definitely not be able to get around the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and other high-level officials. Especially that old guy Danzo.

This becomes a new question, how to approach or join Sarutobi Hiruzen?

With Chiba's current status, it might not be good to advance step by step from bottom to top, as Danzo would target her halfway. Although I'm not afraid of him, the plan would have failed. A person like Danzo may not be able to succeed, but he is still very capable of ruining something for you.

Otherwise, reveal it to Kakashi first, and then have him report it to Sarutobi.

Chiba quickly rejected this line. It wasn’t that it couldn’t be done, but that there were too many uncertain factors, so it could only be put into alternative routes.

Therefore, the most appropriate way is for Chiba to contact the Third Hokage himself.

Seal class?

Plans and possible solutions were listed by Chiba, and then rejected one by one.

The spiritual clone can think extremely fast and will not feel tired or bored.

It seems that I am not suitable for the path of the mastermind behind the scenes. I can't find a suitable path for such a simple thing. Um?

Master Tiger suddenly stretched out a vine and poked Qianye.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Transformation. If I want to transform into someone other than myself, what should I do?" Mr. Tiger was tired of playing with vines. The left arm turned into a vine snake and was raised to ask Qianye.

"Um, you want to become another species?"

"Yes." Groot responded with a nod.

"I really haven't thought about this. As long as the form changes are subtle enough, you can build most things. But if you change completely, hey, Master Hu, I'll teach you the transformation technique."

Qianye quickly taught Master Hu. However, I don’t know why, even though Mr. Hu learned the transformation technique, he just couldn’t change into the desired form.

It's okay, but Mr. Hu's mental strength is not very good?

Qianye gathered some of his attention and continued to ponder his conspiracy, uh, plan.

He spent most of his energy studying the transformation technique with Mr. Hu.

Just, it's a little difficult. Mr. Tiger transforms everything into a vine.
