Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

The three holy places in the ninja world are Myoboku Mountain, Ryūchi Cave, and Shigu Forest.

Among these three holy places, Miaomu Mountain is definitely the most suitable place for human survival, bar none.

The environment of Mount Miaomu is almost exactly the same as that of the Ninja World. There are mountains, water, plains and basins. It is easy for humans to survive here.

Of course, you have to tolerate the unique food in Miaomu Mountain. After all, people may not be able to tolerate toads eating bugs.

But if this shortcoming is ignored, the environment of Miaomu Mountain is definitely much better than that of the other two holy places.

Needless to say, it goes without saying that if you don't have the courage, nine lives, or extremely strong strength, you will most likely become the meal of those white phosphorus snakes.

As for the Shigu Forest, the word "wet" means everything. The hot and humid environment makes people breathless.

Not only that, the sour smell in the air and the corrosive mucus underfoot can corrode a big hole in a person's body with just one move.

After arriving at Shigu Forest, Hatake Ming couldn't help but cover his nose and frown.

He raised his feet, and found that the wooden clogs under his feet had been corroded and turned black, and green smoke was constantly rising upwards.

Helpless, Hatake Akira could only use his space ability to isolate the corrosive mucus under his feet to prevent him from walking barefoot after the clogs broke.

"It's really...a very unfriendly environment for humans."

Hatake Akira couldn't help but sigh, and he also knew in his heart why the immortal arts inherited by Shigulin Forest were less popular than Longdi Cave.

Although the white phosphorus snake in Longdi Cave likes to eat people, it also has certain principles.

As long as you pass the test of that group of white phosphorous snakes, your life is basically guaranteed to be safe.

But the Moist Bone Forest is different. As long as the strength is not up to standard, or there is no way to resist the corrosive mucus everywhere, anyone who comes here will turn into a puddle of pus within five minutes.

Looking around, Hatake Akira found no living creatures around him, only bursts of light green corrosive mist, and bones and corrosive mucus everywhere.

"If I had known this was the case, I should have asked Tsunade before coming over."

Hatake Akira felt a little regretful, but he still picked up his mood and continued walking forward.

Although it was his first time here, Hatake Akira was not walking aimlessly. He had a way to find the Slug Immortal in the Moist Bone Forest.

The fundamental reason why the Three Holy Lands are called the Three Holy Lands is the rich natural energy here.

After practicing Ryūchidō Sage Mode, Hatake Akira is now very sensitive to the natural energy of the outside world, and can tell where the natural energy is rich and where the natural energy is thin in minutes.

No need to ask, Hatake Akira just needs to go to a place with strong natural energy, and the Slug Immortal will definitely live there.

Sure enough, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, Hatake Akira arrived at a lair. Not only was the natural energy rich, but the corrosive gases and liquids were also more acidic.

"It should be right here."

Entering the cave, Hatake Akira suddenly stopped, and a large group of white slug bodies suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Slug Immortal?"

After asking tentatively, the white "meat mountain" immediately moved.

"Hatake Akira?"

Immortal Slug turned his head, and his huge body squeezed the gravel around the cave.

"Yes, Immortal Slug, I want to come here to learn the magic of immortality."

"It's not impossible to learn the magic of immortality, but I see that you already have the aura of Longdi Cave's magic in your body. If you want to learn the magic of Shigu Forest..."

Hatake Ming knew early on that it would be difficult for him to learn the magic of Shigulin, but when it really came down to it, he still couldn't hide his disappointment.

"Slug Immortal, is it a conflict of magic between the two, or..."

"It's not a conflict, but the location where my magical chakra is stored in Shigu Forest is different from the magical chakra in Longdi Cave. If there is a conflict, I'm worried that you will die."

Hearing what Slug Immortal said, Hatake Akira felt a lot more relieved.

Slug Immortal's original intention was that he was afraid of Hatake Akira's physical problems, not because Hatake Akira had learned the magic of Ryūchi Cave, so he was not allowed to learn the magic of Shigulin.

It has to be said that Immortal Slug has the best temper among the three immortals. As long as she is contracted with people in Shigu Forest, she will almost always respond to their requests.

"Thank you Immortal Slug for your concern. I think I have no problem."

"Just be mentally prepared."

Immortal Slug nodded, "Then let me tell you how to practice the immortal skills inherited from my Shiky Bone Forest."

"follow me."

As he spoke, Immortal Slug's huge body split instantly and turned into thousands of small slugs, squirming and clinging to the stone walls of the cave.

Seeing this scene, Hatake Akira's back suddenly felt cold, and the dense slugs made his teeth ache.

This is not prejudice, but Hatake Akira has a natural resistance to this slimy mollusk.

It's okay if the quantity is smaller, but if the quantity reaches tens of thousands...

Difficult scenes are really hard to accept!

Unable to help but take a step back, Hatake Akira took a deep breath to calm down and stood quietly waiting.

Soon, Slug Fairy's huge body had split into many small slugs, and her body had now become almost as tall as an adult.

As if he noticed something strange about Hatake Akira, the Slug Immortal, who had shrunk many times, looked at Hatake Akira.

"Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"A little bit..."

Akira Hatake forced out an ugly smile, "If you get used to it, I feel fine."

"Well, you'll get used to it later."

Slug Immortal said something without starting or ending, and Hatake Akira was a little confused.

"follow me."

Without giving Akira Hatake a chance to ask questions, the Slug Immortal, who had shrunk many times, twisted his body and walked deeper into the cave.

Helpless, Hatake Akira could only follow him.

"This is it."

Immortal Slug stopped at the deepest part of the cave where he lived, "Did you see the pool in front of you? You just need to soak in it."

"So simple?"

Hatake Akira took a step forward and stood side by side with the Slug Immortal. "Can you learn the inherited magic of the Shiky Bone Forest by just taking a bath?"

"Simple?"

"Take a bath?"

The Slug Immortal turned around and looked at Hatake Akira with her two small tentacle-like eyes. "You may have misunderstood. The water in that pool is not water, but the "Acid Fairy Liquid" made from the fusion of acidic solution and natural energy. .”

"Acid fairy liquid?"

Hatake Akira scratched his head and couldn't help but stand on tiptoes and look forward.

As the Slug Immortal said, according to Hatake Akira's perception, the natural energy contained in the acid fairy liquid in the pool is very rich, and the acidity in it is also very strong.

Although the acidity of Sour Fairy Liquid is not as strong as that of concentrated sulfuric acid, if you soak it in it...

It’s unclear whether the bones will turn into Hatake, but the skin and flesh will definitely not be spared.

In addition to acidity, such a concentration of natural energy also made Hatake Akira feel dizzy.

Natural energy is good, but in large amounts it can really kill people. Akira Hatake experienced this for sure when he was in Ryūchi Cave last time.

"This...how to soak it?"

Hatake Akira pulled back his neck and asked the Slug Immortal tentatively.

"Just take off your clothes and lie down."

Although Slug Sento spoke in an understatement, Hatake Akira opened his eyes wide.

"I'm not looking for death!"

"Not really."

Slug Immortal shook his head, "While you are soaking, I will help you repair your body. Although it will be very painful, I will ensure that your whole body is fine."

"But such a strong natural energy... I'm afraid..."

"You have to rely on yourself. I don't have a way to deal with it."

Slug Immortal shook his head, "If that little guy from Hashirama is still alive, he should be able to tell you how to deal with it."

"You mean...the Senju Hashirama of the First Hokage's Senjutsu came from here?"

"Yes, Hashirama's magic comes from our Shiggou Forest."

Immortal Slug started chatting, "The magic of the three holy places each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Not only are the cultivation methods different, but the natural energy storage methods are also very different."

"Take the Dragon Earth Cave Immortal Technique in you as an example. The natural energy seeds in your body are equivalent to the gall of the white phosphorus snakes. That is where they store natural energy."

"But our Shigulin is different. Because of my body structure, I can only store natural energy in every part of my body."

"So, if you want to practice my Shigu Forest's magic, you must go through this experience."

Listening to Slug Immortal's narration, Hatake Ming already understood.

If the magic of Longdi Cave is the ultimate aesthetics of violence, then the magic of Shigulin is the ultimate recovery and ultimate physical strength.

As for Miaomu Mountain, Hatake Ming has not been there yet, so he doesn’t know the nature of Miaomu Mountain’s magic for the time being.

Thinking of this, Hatake Akira understood why Senju Hashirama's life was so short after the battle with Uchiha Madara.

Hatake Akira had made a mistake before. Senju Hashirama's life energy would not be consumed when he used Wood Release.

But if the Immortal Technique Wood Release is used, the natural energy in Senju Hashirama's flesh and blood will continue to squeeze Senju Hashirama's life force.

After thinking about this, Hatake Akira felt hot in his heart.

What he lacks most is life energy. Shigu Forest's magic, which is similar to "Krypton Life", is very suitable for Hatake Akira.

"I understand Slug Immortal."

Hatake Akira nodded towards Slug-sage, "By the way, Slug-sage, how much natural energy can I integrate into my flesh and blood?"

"How many?"

Slug Immortal thought for a moment and gave Hatake Akira an answer that was not very accurate.

"From the beginning of my Shiky Bone Forest inheritance to now, the only human being who can master my Shiky Bone Forest Immortal Technique is Senju Hashirama. The others...have all been transformed into it."

"This..." Hatake Akira swallowed, "Didn't you say that you can ensure that the practitioner's body is intact?"

"That is indeed what I promise, but they are all dead, so there is no need for me to repair their bodies anymore."

Immortal Slug explained, "In the acid fairy liquid, your body will be constantly corroded, and at the same time, the natural energy in the acid fairy liquid will naturally integrate into your flesh and blood."

"It is precisely because of the acidic immortal liquid that you don't have to worry about your body being petrified. This may be the biggest advantage of my Shiky Bone Forest Immortal Technique."

"What are the shortcomings...?" Although Hatake Akira had the answer in his mind, he still asked subconsciously.

"The shortcomings are also obvious. Although the cultivator's body will not be petrified, the flesh and blood are constantly being destroyed and reorganized. The load on the cultivator's body is naturally ridiculously high."

"Even with my help, cultivators still have to rely on their own life energy when they reorganize their bodies."

"And once a practitioner enters the acid fairy liquid and starts to practice immortality, he will never come out unless the practice is completed."

"If you step out of the acid fairy liquid without permission because you can't hold it up, the practitioner's body will immediately turn to stone."

"So, my Shigu Forest magic is very dangerous. Without a strong body, strong willpower, and strong recovery power, it is impossible for humans to successfully practice it."

"Then I have no problem!"

Hatake Akira answered immediately, his eyes full of determination.

Just kidding, the life energy existing in Akira Hatake's body can equal dozens of Senju Hashirama.

Moreover, Hatake Akira's own recovery power is several times stronger than Senju Hashirama. There is no reason why Hatake Akira's Senju Hashirama can cultivate the magic of the Shiggou Forest, but Hatake Akira cannot.

but……

"Slug Immortal, do I have to take off all my clothes?"

"Are you wearing clothes when you take a bath?"

Slug Immortal looked at Hatake Akira in surprise. He didn't expect Hatake Akira to ask such a question.

Hatake Akira scratched his head in embarrassment and said nothing more.

It's not that Hatake Akira was too embarrassed to speak, but that he couldn't.

Not only that, this time's practice of immortality is definitely more dangerous than the one performed by the White Snake Immortal.

Because after taking off all his clothes, many of the equipment Hatake Akira carried naturally no longer met the condition of "carrying on the body".

Many equipment cannot take effect, so naturally Hatake Akira's life-saving equipment cannot be used. If you die during this practice, you are really dead...

Moreover, if the equipment cannot take effect, Hatake Akira's many bonuses will also be lost, and his subsequent training process will be full of dangers.

"Don't be embarrassed, I'm not a human being and I'm not interested in your human nudity."

Seeing that Hatake Akira refused to take off his clothes, Slug Immortal obviously misunderstood something.

Hearing this, Hatake Akira shook his head, "I'm not worried about that."

After saying that, Hatake Akira placed the huge seal scroll on his back on the ground.

Sure enough, just as he thought, when the huge seal scroll left Hatake Akira's body, the many bonuses applied to his body naturally dissipated without a trace.

In an instant, Hatake Akira's life energy, which had been recovering, dropped off a cliff, and his evolving vital signs also stalled.

And not only that, Hatake Akira's body also began to collapse rapidly, because the life energy in his body could no longer satisfy the process of his vital signs continuing to evolve upward.

However, this process only lasted for a moment, and Hatake Akira returned to his previous physical state.

I saw Akira Hatake holding a chakra chain in his hand, and the other end of the chain was no longer a human body, but turned into the huge seal scroll.

"Slug Immortal, as you can see, my body is in a critical period right now. Without the help of this sealing scroll, I may die soon."

"So, when I enter the acid fairy liquid, can I maintain this state?"

He waved his palm towards Slug Immortal and showed her the purple-red chakra chain in his hand.

Looking at Hatake Akira's palm, Slug Immortal hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"good!"

Hatake Ming's eyes were filled with excitement. He had mastered the inherited magic of Shigu Forest!
