Exploring the God Tree Again (Fourth Update)

Looking at the two White Zetsu bodies before him, Orochimaru first carefully examined them and, finding no difference from the White Zetsu of later generations, he was relieved.

Without Rasa's knowledge, Orochimaru used the technique he had developed in front of Rasa.

[Ninja Art: The Vanishing Facial Copy Technique!]

A White Zetsu turned into liquid and gradually merged with Orochimaru. After a moment, Orochimaru transformed into the appearance of White Zetsu, grinned at Rasa, and asked.

"Do you need any help, Rasa?"

For humans, the Vanishing Facial Copy Technique is not so convenient, since the human body has a complex structure, including muscles, bones, and internal organs in addition to skin.

However, White Zetsu lacks all of the above, making it exceptionally convenient for him to use the Vanishing Facial Copy Technique.

How could Rasa not know what Orochimaru was planning? He had quite a few disguise techniques, but none of them were as perfect as the Orochimaru had just used.

After a long silence, Rasa finally nodded.

After Orochimaru smiled, he began to physically assault Rasa.

While the two were busy at work, the God Tree stretched out two roots from the ground and danced around like headless flies.

If the God Tree had consciousness, it would certainly have many questions at this moment.

A short while later, the two 'White Zetsu' concealed their tracks and headed towards the location of the God Tree once again.

Having learned from their previous experience, the two had a very clear objective and moved with incredible speed.

As dawn broke, Rasa and Orochimaru once again arrived outside the area covered by the white light.

This time, the two did not walk on the ground.

[Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage Technique!]

The secret techniques of the Iwagakure Village) troops—not to mention that Iwagakure has been destroyed and its legacy has been divided up by the Shinobi Alliance.

Orochimaru had already learned this technique when Iwagakure was still in existence.

After all, Konoha, having fought Iwagakure several times, had already obtained the complete technique from the corpses used by the military.

The same applies to Hidden Sand Village; the Second Shinobi World War was a three-way battle between the wind, fire, and earth factions.

As the Kazekage, Rasa knew this technique.

The two moved stealthily through the earth and soon approached the roots of the God Tree.

As soon as they got close, several roots pierced through the soil and attacked Orochimaru and Rasa.

[Use your true energy to protect your entire body; do not counterattack.]

Orochimaru gave instructions to Rasa chose to trust Orochimaru.

As true energy covered their bodies, the attacking roots swayed around them for a long time before finally retracting.

Xiao Genzi, do you have a lot of questions?

The roots of the God Tree were truly baffling. From a distance, they looked like two indebted laborers, but upon closer inspection, they transformed into legitimate customers.

The two stealthily made their way forward, and all the roots they encountered along the way lingered around them for a while before retreating.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the main root of the God Tree, the two worked together to create a shelter.

It was just a simple, empty hole, with no exit and no ventilation.

True essence changes humans in many ways. If the body still contains the previous Chakra, then we won't consider the issue of the God Tree.

The two were simply unable to remain submerged in the earth for long.

The technique of Subterranean Voyage is inferior to the White Zetsu's Earth Mayfly Technique, as it cannot move freely in water or among plants.

But the land itself is already a bug enough, so why didn't Iwagakure use this technique to gain intelligence capabilities far exceeding those of other villages?

The most important reason is that ninjas who use the Subterranean Voyage Technique have to return to the surface every once in a while.

The specific time depends on the individual's breath-holding time and the intensity of the exercise.

At this moment, both Orochimaru and Rasa had converted their Chakra into true essence, truly demonstrating the power of a cultivation system.

It displays a powerful ability that surpasses even the stripped-down version of Chakra in every aspect.

Superpowers value strength, destruction, and utility; cultivation is always about evolution, with everything else being just a bonus.

A small, cramped space of about five or six square meters, barely enough for two people to move around in.

Have you considered the possibility of failure?

Although she had chosen to trust Orochimaru before, Rasa couldn't understand why Orochimaru was so certain of success when he didn't retaliate against the attack.

"The threat isn't that great, but there are a lot of people!"

Orochimaru did not choose to answer directly, but Rasa instantly understood what Orochimaru meant.

You're not even sure yourself, yet you drag me along on this adventure!

Trust level -1.

Orochimaru's meaning was simple: there was no real threat, at most he'd get hurt.

If it fails, we can just find more people to experiment with; there are plenty of people out there to try and fail with.

"Rasa- kun, would you like to join me in exploring the mysteries of the God Tree?"

After saying that, Orochimaru walked to the side, gently brushed away the dirt with his hand, and revealed the main root of the God Tree.

Even though he no longer trusted Orochimaru much, Rasa still immediately followed.

After all, everyone came for the God Tree; how could we refuse them now?

As soon as they got close, they saw Orochimaru recklessly pull out Kunai and scrape it towards the main root of the God Tree.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

Despite being a plant, it emitted a metallic vibrato after coming into close contact with Kunai.

Orochimaru stared intently at the tissue scraped from the God Tree, then walked to a corner and began to examine it carefully.

After some time, nothing unusual happened. Rasa followed suit and used Kunai to scrape some tissue off the main root of the God Tree.

And so, the two of them settled down right next to the God Tree.
