Gou is cultivating immortality in Hokage

Kabuto Yakushi's departure made Chiba feel a little emotional. In fact, he has always viewed the world from an outsider's perspective. Including previous contacts with Tenten, his classmates and teachers at the Ninja School, as well as Kakashi and Sarutobi Hiruzen, this attitude was all present. Just like treating plot NPCs.

And because he understood the plot, he had an idea of ​​the future direction.

But during this time with Kabuto, when the other person left, especially when Chiba knew what he would encounter in the future, he suddenly became a little confused about the future, or the plot.

So, is the future fixed or variable? If it's fixed, then what's the point of traveling through it yourself? Want to experience Naruto's story up close and personal again?

And if the future is variable, as long as Chiba actually exists in this world, maybe a small change will cause a chain butterfly effect, making the future completely different. So, what is the Naruto plot that I have watched?

In fact, as long as it involves the timeline or fate, if you think about it carefully, it will definitely be a mess. Even as Chiba's thoughts wandered, he had a vague feeling that as a creature living on the timeline, his way of thinking was impossible to jump out of time.

Of course, tangles are tangles, and Chiba did not delay his daily work. After all, life still has to go on. As the weather gradually gets warmer, he and his team of six subordinates have planted hundreds of acres of ivy. There is absolutely no chemical fertilizers or anything like that. Chiba can only water it. As the number of uses increases, he His ability to control wind and rain is becoming more and more proficient.

Fortunately, as a mutated plant, Tiger Tiger's vitality is really not limited. It quickly covered countless lands around the institute, even climbed several entire hillsides, and spontaneously spread to the distant forest. Countless vines, either thick or thin, stretched and twisted, covering all the original grass and trees, isolating them from the sunlight. Huge root systems are also entangled underground, competing for water and soil. In this competition between plants, Mr. Tiger is completely overwhelmed.

After negotiating with the current total of nine psychics, the sharing of the psychic contract has greatly improved the intelligence of the Fuji Demon Tiger Lord. From the initial ignorance after independent awakening, to the current independent erosion of competitors. Territory, it now looks more and more like a qualified intelligent creature, that is to say, its mental power has become stronger, and its ability to convert life force into chakra has also become stronger. The Vine Demon Tiger Lord is advancing step by step on the road to becoming the Great Demon.

As for Chiba, his experiments so far have been nothing more than trial and error, and he has not made any substantial progress. There is no other way. Without basic theory, Chiba can only rely on chakra to get through as he is now. In fact, the ultimate goal is clear. Chiba wants to find a way to borrow Tiger Master's vitality, so as to extract a large amount of chakra accumulated after completing the foundation building.

There is no way, with his current strength in the foundation building stage, although he can deal with most situations in the ninja world, he doesn't particularly care about the ninja village, and he can't beat the ones who always run away. However, he couldn't stand Chiba's big situation. His eyes always fell on the several big bosses behind the scenes in the ninja world. Especially after meeting the White Snake Sage for real once, the other party's huge magical power fused with the underground dragon veins. Chakra really amazed Chiba. If he really had to face one or two of this level in the future, the panic of insufficient combat power would always wrap around him.

In this way, Qianye appears to be a stable group, but day by day, under the dual pressure of a trace of confusion and a sense of urgency, Qianye has been continuously polishing his own practice.

Once winter is over, the weather seems to change day by day. In just a few months, it is already late spring and early summer, and the temperature at night is already quite hot.

After another attempt at spiritual transformation to possess a creeper vine failed, Chiba let go of the vine in his hand. The wrist-thick vine flexibly climbed up Chiba's shoulder, rubbing his cheek with fist-sized spores.

"Oh, forget it, the road is one step at a time. Failure is the mother of success. Try again, and if you don't succeed, go to bed." Feeling the closeness from Master Hu, Chiba slightly pulled away from the frustration. come out.

He raised his hand as if stroking a kitten and rubbed it against the vine. This ivy was grown in a culture room and has never been transplanted. In the words of Master Hu, all ivy plants have only one consciousness of themselves, so these can be regarded as one of Master Hu’s entities.

In Qianye's sea of ​​consciousness space, Lord Tiger was talking to Qianye's clone in the form of tree man Groot.

"Now, that's it. There have been a lot of little animal lives in my territory recently, and I don't want them there."

Qianye waved his hand, "Well, this is normal. Where there are lush plants, there will be more bugs that eat the plants, and then there will be more birds and beasts that eat the bugs. I have told you before, right? The food chain On."

After a pause, he continued to explain: "Your body is now so big that you can truly form a forest by yourself. For those small animals, you are their living environment. They rely on you to survive, and of course it is not completely useless. , their feces and dead bodies will eventually be integrated into the earth and become your nutrition."

Master Hu twisted the vines and tried to explain. His cute look made Chiba happy for a while.

"You taught me about species diversity, and I listened to you. Some bugs eat my leaves, but I don't eat them, but share them a little bit."

"But this time is different, the number is wrong. They are the kind of little toads crawling around, not the ones jumping around the water. They will eat bugs, but I have controlled the quantity and type of bugs. After the weather has warmed up recently, , there are more, but there shouldn’t be that many.”

"Huh?" Qianye is now particularly sensitive to snakes and toads, and quickly asked, "You just said the number was wrong, was it a lot more? How many can there be specifically? Where did you find it?"

Mr. Hu thought about how to organize the language. Just like Chiba when he first started, he could speak, but the words were unintelligible, and his speech was not particularly smooth. "I don't know the specific number. I just think it's a bit too much. I have always listened to you and maintained that all kinds of life have a little. Only those with too much will be eaten by me."

"At first, there were more of them by the river at the bottom of the hillside. They were crawling towards you. After many days, they have learned to be smart and won't touch the vines. I didn't notice it at first. There are also some at the No. 1 planting base."

Chiba immediately paid attention to it. Base No. 1 is the area that was originally affected by the war between Sarutobi and Orochimaru. Because it was a nursery in the beginning, it was an artificial environment. The root system of Tiger Master is also entrenched underground in that area. Chiba has not restrained it from the beginning. Lord Tiger. There weren't even any weeds in that area, and any bugs that dared come close were entangled to death by Mr. Tiger and dragged underground. Then there is no reason why toads would be attracted.

And the toad aspect is too easy to guess, who else could it be. Are you here to test me? Or do you want to sneak in and collect intelligence? It's very strange. He clearly told Jiraiya last time, so why did he do this again?

Well, Chiba thought about it for a while, and it probably wasn't the case of Hashirama's cells that Jiraiya reported to the village, making Sarutobi aware that something was wrong. Otherwise, it would not be this kind of temptation, but the surveillance and encirclement of Konoha's Anbu.

"Master Hu, are there Konoha ninjas hiding in the area around us?" Chiba asked one more question.

"No. I didn't sense it. But there are Konoha guards further away. Old Man Sarutobi values ​​this area very much and has designated it as a restricted area for Konoha." Mr. Tiger replied. Its body and roots have already occupied the vicinity, and it can't hide from it even the slightest disturbance. Of course, if there are ninjas who have specific information about Lord Tiger, they may have ways to avoid monitoring.

After receiving confirmation, Chiba immediately ruled out the possibility of Konoha. The result is very clear. If this is not a natural phenomenon, but man-made, then it is possible that Tomamaru is up to something.

"Master Hu, please expand the root system and wrap the small building of the research institute underground. Monitor the vibration of the ground. If a toad approaches, immediately wrap it with vines and drag it into the underground compost. Master Hu, be careful, we may be attacked by someone. Targeted." Chiba made arrangements, and then we will see if there is any follow-up reaction. After all, there is still a slight possibility. Maybe toads also have migration behavior?

There were waves of vibrations on the ground that were so slight that normal people couldn't detect them. They were Lord Tiger's roots moving underground. Like a natural talent, Mr. Hu's talent for using the roots to perform earth escape is astonishingly high. He is worthy of being a plant type that is compatible with the earth element.

In the small barbecue square in front of the small building, in the shadow of a stone bench, a large dark brown toad lay there. It was impossible to tell whether the toad's eyes were open or closed. The moment it kicked up its hind legs and was about to crawl forward, a gray-brown root system popped out from the ground and wrapped around its legs.

The big toad quickly changed from crawling to jumping. While avoiding the roots, it jumped onto the stone bench, squatted on it, opened its big eyes, and the pupils of the cross symbol were faintly visible in the pupils.

The root system's attack was ineffective, and it slowly shrank back into the ground. The big toad waited for a long time and jumped up again. "Qua~"

Something happened suddenly. A vine as thick as a wrist was like a whip whipping towards the toad in mid-air. Almost instantly, countless tiny vines appeared out of nowhere and formed a large green net on the ground.

Toads can jump, but they can't fly. When he was hit by a vine, there was a "pop" sound, like a stone being struck, and a faint light flashed across his dark brown skin.

The toad fell into the net in response, and the surrounding vines immediately wrapped around it and entangled it tightly. The toad, which was slightly larger than an adult's fist, ended up entangled into a sepak takraw ball the size of a stone stool. The surface of the ball bulged out, and the big toad was still making its final struggle. After a long time, it finally stopped moving. A few vines dragged the sepak takraw balls and hung them up. Under the faint night, countless large and small sepak takraw balls were hoisted in mid-air, giving it a somewhat eerie feel.

Mr. Hu immediately gave feedback to Qianye and it was done.

In a distant and unknown land, a huge toad with a wrinkled body opened its eyes. "Gu~" made a thunderous sound.
