Ninja World: Pass Fire from Konoha

The ashes of a fireless fire?

Initial sacrificial site?

What does it mean?

where am i?

The drowsiness slowly dissipated and consciousness returned to his brain. Orochimaru raised his head and looked at the unfamiliar building space he was in at the moment.

This is a ring-shaped venue that looks very ancient. At the edge are gray stone steps climbing up. Several stone pillars stand up that require several people to surround them. They are not only the support points of the steps, but also hold up the place. The dome of the building.Looking up the stairs, a thick layer of gray fog obscures the things behind, making it difficult to see clearly.

In the lower center of the field, a slowly burning bonfire with a blood-red spiral sword emits a gentle and bright light, dispelling the darkness.

While observing the surrounding environment, Orochimaru had realized that he was not dreaming at this moment, nor was he under an illusion.

Dreams are vague and cannot be realized as reality, but he can even see the fingerprints on his fingers clearly. Genjutsu causes people to fall into hallucinations by interfering with the five senses and even the flow of chakra in the brain, but he can clearly see it. He felt that there was nothing unusual about the flow of chakra in his body, it could flow with his thoughts, and he obviously did not fall into illusion.

Did I come here because of the extracted flame?

Looking at the bonfire in the center of the field, Orochimaru thought in surprise.

The flames burning on the bonfire were almost exactly the same in color and shape, except that they were more intense.

He walked forward cautiously, while observing his surroundings vigilantly.The strange voice just disappeared after saying those two sentences, and the speaker could not be found at all.

Feeling the chakra flowing in his body, Orochimaru's uneasiness eased slightly.

No matter where this is, as long as I still have chakra and fighting power, I won't be too frightened.

The building that the inexplicable voice called the "initial sacrificial site" was not big, and Orochimaru quickly reached the area covered by the bonfire.

As soon as he stepped into it, a warm feeling spread all over his body. A feeling that the magazines all over his body were burned clean by the flames and his body was like glass emerged in his mind, which made him feel so comfortable that he almost moaned.

"This feeling……"

Orochimaru lowered his head and stared at his pale hands.

He could feel that just the moment he stepped into the area covered by the fire, his chakra amount, which had not changed for a long time, had a considerable increase, and this increase was still increasing at a slow speed.

Chakra is refined from physical strength and spiritual strength.

And his physical strength has not changed much. In other words, his mental strength has made great progress? !

The light of this bonfire actually has the effect of enhancing spiritual strength? !

A strong shock flashed through Orochimaru's heart.

Compared with physical strength, mental strength is invisible and more difficult to train and improve.

Where is this place? !

At this moment, a crisp sound of metal scales colliding with each other came from above.

Orochimaru was startled, and while retreating, he quickly looked up.

I saw a tall figure shrouded in gray mist suddenly appearing above the stairs. Through the gray mist, I could vaguely see the dark brown armor inside.

As he appeared, the gray mist above began to slowly dissipate, revealing a huge throne made of black-gray rock and carved with complex and magnificent patterns.

The throne is very high, three meters long. The gray mist figure looks a little petite when sitting on it. However, in Orochimaru's eyes, the presence of the gray mist figure is far stronger than that of the throne.

As soon as the gray mist figure appeared, it completely occupied his field of vision.

A sense of terrifying oppression that he had never felt before spread from the gray mist figure on the throne, causing Orochimaru's body to tremble and freeze.

How can it be!Even the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi-sensei, didn’t bring me such a strong sense of oppression!

Where the hell is he? !

"Ashes without fire, welcome to your arrival."

"This is the initial sacrificial site, a mysterious place outside of time and space."

"Only creatures that can see fire are qualified to step into it."

A thick and solemn majestic voice came from the mouth of the gray fog figure.

Hearing this sound, Orochimaru was slightly startled.

This voice was exactly the same as the one I heard in a daze just now.

Is he the mysterious being who just spoke?

Seeing that the figure on the throne had no intention of taking action, Orochimaru felt relieved. He took a deep breath and asked cautiously:

"Who is your Excellency? Why am I here?"

The gray mist figure on the throne did not speak, but raised his hand, and a weak flame appeared from it, flying slowly towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru did not dodge, but stood still and stared at the floating flames.

He wanted to run, but he was in this mysterious and strange place at the moment, and he didn't know where to run. Instead of risking the possibility of angering the gray shadow on the throne by running away, it would be better to see what he wanted to do.

So far, the other party has not made any move or intention to attack him, and it is safe for the time being.

"This is the Mark of Fire."

"Ashes without fire, touch them with your fingertips, and you will get everything you want to know."

"Or, you can choose to give up. From now on, the door to the initial sacrificial site will be completely closed to you."

Looking at the flames burning quietly in front of him, the orange light making his face flush red, Orochimaru stood there, hesitant.

The gray mist figure on the throne just sat quietly without any words or urging.

After a long time, Orochimaru slowly exhaled and made a decision in his heart.

He has never been a stickler for rules.

From the moment he obtained Hinata Yutaki's flesh and blood tissue and started experimenting, everything that happened had subverted his previous understanding.

He knew in his heart that the wisest thing to do was to give up.

Give up contact with the flames.

Don’t understand the so-called initial sacrificial site, the so-called fireless ashes.

But ah...

He was not reconciled.

Immortality is already a dream. To achieve it is even harder than reaching the sky.

The bonfire that appears in front of you now, in the center of the initial sacrificial site, which can enhance spiritual power, is something as mysterious as immortality.

I chose to give up because I was worried about the risks. If I think about it in the future, I would feel extremely unwilling to do so...

Orochimaru slowly stretched out his right hand and touched the flames with the tip of his index finger.

In an instant, a golden-red light burst out, completely occupying his sight.

At the same time, a large amount of information appeared in his mind.

The original sacrificial site passed down from eternity to the present day...

Signed a contract of fire and became ashes, becoming an immortal existence from then on...

Obtain the power of pure souls by killing intelligent creatures and become stronger at the campfire...
