Konoha, was reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

Chapter 7: The Art of Spiritualization and the Art of Seizing the Body

The Hokage's office was filled with smoke.

The third generation leaned back on the seat, put one hand on the desk, and held the pipe in his mouth with the other, blowing out the smoke while listening to ANBU Ye's report.

When he heard that the squad leader speculated that Kimura Yoshih had most likely been killed and made into a puppet, the third generation who was about to smoke paused for a moment, and then continued to take a deep drag on the cigarette. A trace of surprise flashed in his calm eyes, followed by unconcealable anger. .

Regarding Kimura Yoshi's death, Sandai had actually expected it.

In fact, after listening to Minato talk about what happened with Yo Kimura, he understood that there was a high probability that Yo Kimura's child had been killed.

After all, if it is just illusion control, it is completely unnecessary for a child who is still in a ninja school to obtain any valuable information.

Only by disguising yourself as a child and using this as a springboard to sneak into the Konoha ninja system can you obtain valuable information.

So what Minato met today was not Kimura Yoshi, but a spy who used a special transformation technique.

But what Sandai never expected was that Kimura Yoh was not acting as a spy, but was made into a puppet for control after his death.

And he continued to attend ninja school with such arrogance.

This was simply a provocation against Konoha.

Too little regard for Konoha as the Hokage.

Unforgivable!

When the spy was found, Sandai had to let that person have a taste of the strength of Konoha's ANBU interrogation room, so as to relieve his hatred.

Just when the third generation was thinking this, Ye went on to explain that the insect could not find the presence of chakra threads around Kimura Yoshi, as well as the various possibilities for the abnormality of Kimura Yoshi's body, and finally asked the third generation if he should continue to search for them. The spy still arrested the person directly.

At this time, Sandai's brows became serious after hearing this.

He believed in the ability of bugs, and no matter how thin the chakra thread was, it was impossible to escape the perception of bugs that specialized in eating chakra.

If it were controlled by a human puppet, it would be impossible without the existence of chakra threads.

If there are no chakra threads, it means it is not a human puppet.

If it is not a human puppet, then there are only two possibilities now.

Either the current Yoshi Kimura is still playing the role of a spy using the transformation technique.

Either Kimura Yoshi is indeed dead now, but is being controlled by unknown means that are not puppet masters.

In both cases, it's okay if it's the first one.

If it is the second type, it is troublesome.

The ability to control the dead is easily reminiscent of the forbidden art of Earthly Innateness.

If the enemy masters this forbidden technique that is similar to the one born in dirty land, the threat to Konoha will skyrocket.

It was said that Yo Kimura's body is now very cold and he looks like a dead person.

Secondly, bugs cannot sense any chakra naturally escaping from Kimura Yoshi's body, which basically rules out the possibility that Kimura Yoshi is a living person.

No matter what kind of special transformation technique it is, as long as it is a living person, it is impossible for chakra to leak out unnaturally.

Therefore, the current Kimura Yoshi is most likely a corpse.

In other words, the situation has reached the second possibility that Sandai least expected to happen. The enemy used unknown means to control the dead Kimura Yoshi.

By this unknown method, the third generation was the first to rule out the reincarnation of his own family.

This forbidden technique was created by the Second Hokage. Only Konoha has it, and it is now kept by him. Anyone who has seen it knows that Kimura Yoshi cannot be born from dirty soil.

In addition to being born in the dirty earth, the secret technique of turning the heart of the mountain clan can also control the corpses of the dead, but it can only control the corpses of those who have just died, let alone control a corpse to live for more than seven days.

So it can't be a secret technique like mind turning.

In addition to turning around, is there any secret technique that can control the corpse? It can not only control the corpse to move like a living person and condense chakra, but also have the memory of the corpse when it was alive.

"Hmm...wait there is a secret technique that can do it."

"The art of spiritualization!"

In an instant, a secret technique that was once famous in the Warring States Period appeared in Sandai's mind.

This secret technique was collected by the second-generation Lord Tobirama and has been inherited by Konoha to this day. It is not surprising that other people in the ninja world have inherited it.

The more he thought about it, the more Sandai felt that Kimura Yoshi must have been controlled by a secret technique similar to the spiritual technique. (PS: The setting of spiritual transformation here was invented during the Warring States Period and is not exclusive to Konoha.)

The art of spiritualization can materialize a person's soul, and then perform a series of secret techniques targeting the soul.

Killing other people's souls, seizing other people's bodies, and reading other people's memories through the ability of soul reading are just the basic abilities of spiritual transformation.

<divclass="contentadv">The art of seizing the body is the strongest manifestation of the spiritual secret art, and it is also the ability that the ninja who created this secret art most desires to realize.

The art of body seizing, as the name suggests, is the art of immortality that uses the soul to seize the body of others and keep the body young forever.

If it were the Soul Seizing Technique of the Spiritualization Technique, all of Kimura Yoshi's current abnormalities could be explained.

Kimura Yoshi is indeed dead, but only his soul is dead, not his body. Now it is the secret spy soul that controls his body.

The reason why Kimura Yoshi's body is cold is because secretly the soul of the spy is adapting to Kimura Yoshi's body, so it feels as cold as a dead person.

This is a side effect of the spiritual transformation technique.

Before the soul fully adapts to the body, the body will remain in a very cold state, like a dead person.

As for the fact that the chakra is not felt, it may be a side effect of the soul seizing technique.

The third generation did not know the art of spiritual transformation, and there were very few people who knew the art of spiritual transformation in history. There is very little detailed information.

No...there are still several loopholes that are not clearly explained.

First, the body that has been taken away by the soul cannot concentrate chakra under high load for a long time during the adaptation period. Otherwise, the rejection of the body and soul will be aggravated, resulting in a prolonged adaptation period.

However, Minato said that Kimura Yoshi maintained a state of condensing chakra at a high speed all day long, which was obviously inconsistent with the performance of the Soul Seizing Technique's adaptation period.

Secondly, although the soul seizing technique can seize other people's bodies and continue to live.

But it will also be completely imprisoned by the body that has taken away the body, and it will not last long.

Because there will be great repulsion between the body and one's own soul.

This kind of rejection is irreversible. The longer the time, the stronger the rejection. The final result is that the body collapses and dies due to the rejection, and the soul will naturally collapse and disappear.

Historically, during the Warring States Period, several ninjas who used soul-seizing techniques ended up dying within a year due to body rejection.

This is what Sandai couldn't figure out. What value does Yo Kimura have for a strong man who is proficient in the art of spiritual transformation to sacrifice his life to take his body?

You must know that ninjas who can perform secret techniques such as spiritual transformation are at least elite jounin level experts.

And it's different from other elite jounin.

Even if a strong man who knows the art of spiritual transformation faces an elite jounin of the same level, as long as he cannot block the soul attack, he will be killed instantly.

Throughout history, strong men who knew the art of spiritual transformation were famous and feared in the ninja world.

Such a strong man sacrificed his life to take away a child, just in exchange for at most one year of life.

does it worth?

Possessing the art of spiritualization, whether it is the ability to kill enemies or collect intelligence, it is much better than taking away the body of a six-year-old child.

why?

The third generation put down his pipe and frowned, wondering.

Putting himself in his shoes, if it were him, he would not trade his life for one year of Kimura Yoshi.

It would be fine if it was a famous ninja, such as his disciple, who might still have the value of seizing his body. A six-year-old child would not have access to Konoha's core secrets at all.

Even his disciples actually don't come into contact with many.

So not worth it at all.

Unless you won't die after taking the body...well, you won't die!

Sandai muttered something in his heart, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he thought of a possibility.

Perhaps the body-seizing technique of spiritual transformation no longer has the side effect of physical rejection, and immortality can be achieved in a true sense.

Maybe someone really has perfected the body-seizing ability of the art of spiritual transformation.

This is not impossible. The third generation never dared to underestimate the creativity of geniuses in the ninja world.

If... no, he must have really perfected the art of soul seizing.

Otherwise, it would be incomprehensible for a strong man with spiritual transformation to seize the body of a six-year-old child whose parents have both died and who has no special talent.

Therefore, the art of seizing the body must have been perfected, and there will no longer be the risk of body rejection and side effects of death.

Thinking of this, Sandai's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Who can not desire the art of immortality?
