Complete Mastery?

Don't be fooled by Orochimaru's apparent indifference to emotions; his apparent indifference doesn't mean he's ignorant of them.

As a major human trafficker in the original work, Orochimaru's persuasive skills are by no means weak.

It's reasonable to offer Amado rosy promises now to motivate him to assist in the research.

"With this evidence, and combined with our previous experiments, we can now explain the Impure World Reincarnation."

Orochimaru continued speaking.

Previously, Shirozumi proposed the energy conservation conjecture.

Yes, it's just a guess.

As mentioned before, the fundamental laws of different worlds are not necessarily the same, and cannot be applied rigidly.

However, based on the vast majority of cases, including the Otsutsuki Clan planting trees all over the universe to absorb the energy of planets and eat the good fruit, this conjecture can be confirmed.

The only possibility is that Orochimaru couldn't explain the source of the infinite resurrection and infinite Chakra of the Impure World Reincarnation.

So, if you can infinitely regenerate health and mana in the fountain, what is the source of the fountain's energy?

The answer has now been given.

While not all of it originates from Natural Energy, at least a significant portion does.

It's not like Sage Mode, which utilizes Natural Energy; rather, it's similar to the Ten-Tails' God Tree, which converts Natural Energy into Chakra.

This also proves that the previous decision was correct.

The practice of Impure World Reincarnation cannot continue indefinitely.

Indeed, for Shirozumi, Natural Energy comes not only from the Shinobi World, but also from the universe; even sunlight can be considered Natural Energy.

But for the most basic Impure World Reincarnation) and for everyone else in the Shinobi World, Natural Energy is simply what's on the earth.

It seems endless, but it can't withstand too many people creating it.

Especially now, with Sage Mode being promoted throughout the Shinobi World, both the dead and the living are vying for Natural Energy resources.

In the past, Natural Energy was something that almost no one used. Its only purpose, like oil, was to be kept by the mold (the Otsutsuki Clan) to be coveted and wait for them to attack.

Things are different now.

Everyone can take advantage of it now.

If it's still crucial for resisting the Otsutsuki Clan, then it needs to be controlled.

"This shortcut is just too despicable. Naruto Uzumaki has really disgraced the Leaf Village Konoha Ninja. How can this young kid have such a mindset?"

In the end, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but utter a curse.

The Ninjutsu he developed was so mysterious and cool.

Naruto Uzumaki actually promoted this underhanded Sage Mode shortcut to the entire Shinobi World. Eventually, the whole Shinobi World will know his name and that he is a ninja trained by Konoha.

What's even more infuriating is that Naruto Uzumaki's shortcut has to be paired with his Shadow Clone Jutsu, making it both sneaky and insidious.

"Second, that's where you're wrong."

Orochimaru shook his head, refuting Tobirama Senju's point of view.

What? I'm wrong?

Tobirama Senju frowned, momentarily unable to understand which word in Orochimaru's previous statement was incorrect.

Did Naruto Uzumaki bring shame to Konoha?

Or something else?

"It's perfectly reasonable for Naruto to have this kind of thing on his mind, just like Jiraiya is a prime example."

"?"

Tobirama Senju what he heard.

He hadn't expected Orochimaru to be focusing on this aspect.

"No, Orochimaru, you shouldn't care about this at all, right?"

Tobirama Senju was surprised that Orochimaru would have such thoughts, and even started speaking up for Jiraiya.

Based on his interactions with Orochimaru over the past few months, Orochimaru is even more extreme than him.

He simply remained unmarried his entire life; if he were truly required to marry and have children, he wouldn't resist much.

But Orochimaru is different; Orochimaru genuinely has absolutely no interest in it.

Even in the future, Orochimaru's son was bred by him using genetic technology.

"Just because I don't care doesn't mean I can't understand."

As Orochimaru tidied the things on the table, he began to explain, "Second, I once researched genes in pursuit of immortality. During that time, I discovered a phenomenon, or rather, a truth."

"What?"

"Humans, or rather all living beings, are born to accomplish only two things—to eat and to reproduce."

Or rather, there's really only one thing: reproduction. Eating is just a means to survive, to survive until you can reproduce.

Everything is for the continuation of our genes.

So as a normal human being, a normal biological being, thinking about this is perfectly reasonable, and you don't need to blame Naruto."

Orochimaru spoke with a straight face.

This theory also existed in Shirozumi's previous incarnation world.

The fact that Orochimaru was able to reach this conclusion indicates that the Shinobi World also has a similar foundation in this area.

But they are not necessarily consistent.

There are definitely exceptions.

Because immortal beings exist in this world.

The Otsutsuki Clan had no pursuit of genetic continuation; their only goal was immortality. Therefore, naturally, they wouldn't think about "sex."

This also explains why Kaguya appeared in the ancient Shinobi World as an "ascetic".

Compared to the humans, or even the creatures, in the Shinobi World, Kaguya was indeed a freak.

Orochimaru's words are very well said.

However, Tobirama Senju's next words ruthlessly shattered Orochimaru's theory.

Instead of listing the Otsutsuki Clan that Shirozumi had mentioned, he...

"So the Bonds between Naruto and Sasuke is also for the continuation of their genes? How will they continue? Will you help them?"

"..."

After their exchange, the laboratory returned to its busy schedule of new research.

As soon as Shirozumi left the laboratory, several people came to his door and took him to an open space outside the village.

This is a training ground customized for the Jinchuriki).

Fu and Lin both train and cultivate here. Generally, other people are prohibited from passing through this place to avoid being affected.

Fu and Lin approached Shirozumi because the Tailed Beast within them had obtained information about Jinchuriki in Sage Mode from Naruto's Tailed Beast clones.

They wanted to ask about Shirozumi's specific situation.

"Don't you already have the stone I gave you? How's your control over it?"

Shirozumi looked at Fu with a puzzled expression.

He remembered that when he last fought Hanabi, Fu had already shown some special abilities.

A kind of slow, Bug Sense evasion, similar to the slow, feeble dodge of failure.

Before getting down to business, Shirozumi didn't forget to give each of them a Keystone.

Right now, everyone except Lin has someone.

Lin's main task was the controllable Baryon Mode, and she joined relatively late, so she didn't receive any.

"Um... I already mastered it completely the day before yesterday."

Fu lowered her head and spoke softly.

"What?"

Shirozumi felt like he had misheard.

What does it mean to have complete mastery?

Has the competition among themselves really gotten this bad?

And why is Fu speaking so softly? What's wrong?

Hanabi treats Fu as an older sister, transferring Hinata's personality onto Fu?

What happened to the cheerful Jinchuriki?
