Ninja World: Pass Fire from Konoha

"Immortal...immortal..."

"The initial...flame..."

"I see……"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

While murmuring, Orochimaru suddenly laughed maniacally, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, falling to the ground and splashing with tiny tears.

After a long time, the laughter stopped, and Orochimaru suddenly raised his head and looked at the gray mist figure on the throne.

"Are you Lord Ashes?"

"I want to know what price it will cost to sign the Fire Contract!"

The voice from Orochimaru echoed in the initial sacrificial site, and the filled gray mist seemed to be undulating, as if to welcome what was coming.

"You need to bring more firewood for the initial fire. Other than that, you have nothing else to ask for."

"When you hold the hilt of the spiral sword in your palm, the contract is completed."

"Ashes without fire, make your choice..."

Orochimaru moved forward step by step and came to the front of the bonfire.

As he got closer, the light of the bonfire made him feel that his soul became more transparent. He stared at the dark red spiral sword, and without hesitation, reached out and held it in his palm.

In an instant, the bonfire burned brightly, and tiny sparks spread out from the center of the bonfire, passing over Orochimaru's body, illuminating the dim sacrificial site extremely brightly. A bright red color emerged from the connection between the Spiral Sword and the bonfire. Appeared and spread rapidly upward to the hilt of the sword.

Orochimaru, who was holding the hilt of the sword, felt his palm being burned. He resisted the urge to close his hand and looked down.

Bright red lines crawled out of his palms, spread along his arms, and converged on his heart, forming a circular mark that resembled a flame.

The inside is fire and the outside is a ring. This is the mark of fire.

Dots of fire spread into the distance until they dissipated, and the blazing flames on the bonfire slowly calmed down.

Feeling the warmth of the sword hilt return to his palm, Orochimaru slowly let go of his hand. At the same time, the mark of fire in his heart also disappeared under his skin.

"Is this the power of fire?"

Orochimaru sighed.

Standing within the area covered by the bonfire, a semi-illusory light red frame popped up in front of his eyes.

[Name]: Orochimaru

[Level]: Level 0 (soul power acquisition speed +10%, when the level reaches lv.[-], you can upgrade by consuming a certain amount of fire)

[Level]: lv.1 (upgrade requirement: 100 points of soul power)

[Attributes]: Strength 14, Physical 14, Speed ​​18, Spirit 14

[General Skills]: Return, Rebirth of Fire

[Soul Power]: 0

----

[Return]: From 0:2 to 1:[-] every day, if you silently say "Return" in your mind and remain unobserved for the next [-] minute, you can reach the initial sacrificial site from your current location.

[Rebirth of Fire]: After death, you will be reborn at the bonfire of the initial sacrificial site, but the attributes of the whole body will decrease by 10%, and can be restored with the power of the soul. The higher the level, the more soul power is required. (After death, if you die again without using the power of the soul to restore your body attributes, you will receive a more serious death penalty.)

……

Through the information that came to mind when he signed the Fire Contract, Orochimaru learned that every time he killed an intelligent creature, the Fire Mark would refine the other person's soul into pure soul power. Through the soul power, he would It can be upgraded at the bonfire at the initial sacrificial site.

Upgrading will gain attribute points, which can be added to the four attributes of strength, physical fitness, speed, and spirit.

Every time the attributes are improved by one point, the increase will be 10% of the current level.

Taking the strength attribute as an example, 10 points of strength represents 100 kilograms of strength, 11 points of strength is 110 kilograms, and 12 points of strength is 121 kilograms, which is 11 times the 110 kilograms of 1.1 points of strength.

It is not obvious when the attributes are low, but as the attribute base gets higher and higher, the increase brought by each attribute point will become more and more exaggerated.

Looking at his "attribute panel", Orochimaru's eyes flashed with contemplation.

The data on this panel only shows his pure physical fitness, but it does not show the amount of chakra he has or the ninjutsu he has mastered.

In actual combat, due to the relationship between chakra and ninjutsu, the combat effectiveness he can display is far beyond what is displayed on the "data panel".

In other words, by improving his physical fitness through "soul power" and then using chakra and ninjutsu to fight, his combat effectiveness will rise sharply, and the enemy will even misjudge his strength because of his chakra amount.

such a pity……

Looking at the dazzling "0" behind [Soul Power] on his attribute panel, a wry smile appeared on his lips.

If you want to "upgrade", you have to find a way to get more soul power.

As for upgrading, it is not something he is considering at the moment.

Not to mention the need to consume some kind of "fire", the prerequisite level 10 alone would require him to work for a long time.

Now, unlike during the war, it is not as easy as imagined to obtain the power of the soul.

"Lord Ashes, how can I obtain the 'fire'?"

Orochimaru looked up at the gray mist figure on the throne and asked with a little respect.

Through the information brought by the Mark of Fire, he learned that this great being sitting on the throne was the guardian of the initial sacrificial site.

"You will know when the time comes."

"The time has come, you should go back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick gray fog appeared in front of Orochimaru's eyes.

In the gray fog, he couldn't distinguish left and right, and couldn't feel up and down.

After an unknown amount of time, when the fog dissipated, he appeared in the rest area of ​​the laboratory.

Looking at the transparent glass container that fell to the ground, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with thought.

The flame was extracted from Hinata Untaki's flesh and blood tissue. So, is there any connection between Hinata Untaki and the initial sacrificial site?Is he also a Contractor of Fire?

It seems that this boy from the Hyuga family is more complicated than I thought...

The sound of fingertips touching the table echoed in the silent laboratory.

……

Initial sacrificial site.

After Orochimaru was "sent" out, the light and shadow around the gray mist figure above the throne began to distort, and the tall and burly body dissipated, instantly turning into a boy.

Hinata Yutaki leaned on the armrest of the throne with one hand, leaning on his chin, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Orochimaru is indeed a genius in scientific research. In just a few days, he has found the "flame" that he deliberately left in the flesh and blood tissue.

Faced with the temptation of immortality, this genius ninja of Konoha, who has been pursuing immortality since his parents died in the war, really chose to sign the "Contract of Fire".

As a future "Sannin", even now, Orochimaru's strength is at the Jonin level.

Presumably, a large amount of soul power will be received soon.

Thinking of this, Hinata Yunlong's smile became even brighter.
