Kannabi Bridge

He had thought that as a nobody, even if he was a transmigrator, there was no way he could attract Uchiha Madara's attention.

But judging by White Zetsu's reaction, he did not care about Nagato. Instead, he cared about a small fry like him.

Wait.

Was it because he had formed a bond with Nagato?

Fuck me!

This was seriously infuriating. Why did he have to get involved with Nagato in the first place?

Qian Yun regretted it, but that White Zetsu had already quietly crept closer.

This would not do. If Madara learned of his existence, there was a ninety percent chance he would be killed.

Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan could not tolerate any unexpected variables. He absolutely could not let White Zetsu go back and spout nonsense.

Earth Release: Earth Spikes.

Whoosh!

Qian Yun suddenly attacked without warning, and White Zetsu, who had been observing him, was instantly thrown into the sealing space.

White Zetsu tried to escape, only to discover that the sealing space seemed to have no boundaries. No matter which direction he ran, he always ended up back where he started.

Qian Yun was also running through the outside world. Before leaving, he had even given the forest a thorough washing to prevent anyone from detecting residual chakra.

A large bridge stood ahead, and Qian Yun quickly crossed it.

When he casually glanced at the stone monument by the bridgehead, his eyes abruptly widened.

Kannabi Bridge?

Was the Third Shinobi World War going to end here?

Forget it. This was not something a nobody like him should worry about. Lying low in Konoha and developing quietly was the true path.

A group of jonin alone could leave him with nowhere to run above or below. His training was clearly still far from sufficient.

[Ding: Defeated Hashirama Cells. Obtained trait: Cell Creation Regeneration!]

Qian Yun abruptly stopped. After looking at the system panel, his eyes widened at once.

Though the trait was white, this ability was priceless—perhaps even better than that initial trash can deer head.

Gulp!

Qian Yun swallowed hard. It seemed he might have the potential to become the God of Shinobi too.

No, no. He could not get his hopes up just yet. It was better to train diligently and keep his feet on the ground.

Still, this Cell Creation Regeneration seemed capable of more than merely strengthening himself. It could also be used to strengthen others.

He needed to find somewhere to hide. At the very least, he had to study it carefully before continuing his journey.

With that thought, Qian Yun plunged headfirst into the dark forest ahead.

"Let me out! Let me out already! I need to take a shit!"

White Zetsu shouted inside one of the sealing spaces, looking like he genuinely needed the toilet.

The little lizard sent out a thought. "Master, hurry up and throw it out! That monster will make our home stink!"

Sand Snake: "I really want to eat it. I really want to eat it..."

Scorpion King: "It must have turned from a man-eating flower. It definitely won't taste good!"

White Zetsu: "Nonsense! I taste good! I taste really good!"

Qian Yun: ...

At the border of the Land of Fire, Crow Forest.

Using Earth Release, he painstakingly dug out an underground cellar, painstakingly turned it into a room, then carefully camouflaged it.

Only after moving in did he finally let out a breath of relief.

First, he extracted some of his powerful cells, then used Cell Creation Regeneration to clone blood.

He gave himself a transfusion and sensed it carefully.

His chakra reserves increased, but there was nothing else special.

Again. He started over and searched carefully.

Another transfusion. Another careful examination.

This time, his Water Release chakra increased, but there was still nothing special.

Again.

Qian Yun conducted twelve experiments in total before finally obtaining Adamantine Sealing Chains on the thirteenth attempt.

So he had Uzumaki Clan bloodline after all, though it was extremely diluted.

After the transfusion, Qian Yun used Adamantine Sealing Chains, but the chains were as thin as necklaces and translucent.

Qian Yun smiled bitterly. He did not know how much his ancestors had loved Water Release for even Adamantine Sealing Chains to be tainted like this.

After so many transfusions recently, Qian Yun felt awful. Even his movements had become sluggish.

Not only had his combat strength not increased, it seemed to have weakened instead.

Troubled, Qian Yun finally decided to strengthen his greatest specialty: the flesh escape technique that struck fear into people's hearts.

Strengthening that was relatively simple. As long as he had disinfectant, he had viruses.

Qian Yun sent out a Water Clone Technique to work while his main body cultivated in the underground room.

One day, Qian Yun noticed that there were many crows in the forest, and they were remarkably disciplined.

He suddenly remembered that he did not have any avian scouts, and crows were smarter than many other birds.

Half a day later, Qian Yun captured tens of thousands of crows and dumped them all into Sealing Space Number Five.

Having all the crows squat on the ground was not ideal, so Qian Yun tossed in several dragon blood trees with broad canopies for the crows to build nests in.

It had only been an absentminded act, but a moment later, the system notification sounded again.

[Ding: Defeated Dragon Blood Tree. Obtained trait: Cell Repair!]

A string of green traits appeared, and Qian Yun's eyes widened.

What was he waiting for? He had to stuff the sealing spaces full.

The traits from other plants were all useless, and they were the lowest-grade translucent color. Most plants did not even have traits at all.

Qian Yun simply focused on finding dragon blood trees, and Crow Forest soon became riddled with pits.

There was no need to worry about running out of sealing spaces. When Qian Yun had first inscribed the Phantom Sea Seal, he had not been stupid enough to copy all nine Buddhist beads exactly.

For the time being, he had ninety-nine sealing spaces, and he could add more whenever needed. That was the greatest advantage of the improved Phantom Sea Seal.

However, as the crow space increasingly resembled a small world, the little lizard and Scorpion King became dissatisfied.

Little Lizard: "Master, Master, I want a Hot Sand Wilderness with a well!"

Scorpion King: "Boy, hurry up and move the blazing sea of sand over here! And bring another hundred thousand male scorpions! This queen wants to create a Red Scorpion Empire here!"

Qian Yun froze. The mighty and imposing Scorpion King was actually female.

Before Qian Yun could say anything, White Zetsu joined the conversation.

"Master, Master, I want a pond! I want to reproduce here!

"Once they grow up, I'll teach them what the urge to shit is!

"And one more thing: anything that can't speak human language is a monster!"

Scorpion King's fur bristled. "Stupid monster, say that one more time and this queen will eat you!"

Little Lizard: "Eat his mouth first, then eat his butt!"

Red-Eyed Crow: "Good thing I can speak human language!"

The scene fell silent, followed immediately by an all-out war of insults. Qian Yun felt like his head was splitting in two.

But after thinking it over, Qian Yun realized it was not impossible to give them homes. After all, there was no rush to return to Konoha.

Five days later, Qian Yun's Virus Nourishment trait upgraded to green, and he immediately headed toward the desert.

The last time he had crushed the souls of three Hidden Rain jonin, his strength had increased by another notch.

Traveling no longer seemed so exhausting.

As he crossed Kannabi Bridge again, Qian Yun was just about to get his bearings when he suddenly realized he was surrounded.

Fuck me!

He had not detected anything at all just now. He had no idea how the Hidden Stone ninja unit had managed it.

Gulp!

After swallowing hard, Qian Yun could only smile awkwardly and even began pretending to be confused.

It was not that Qian Yun was too cowardly. The main issue was that there were simply too many of them, with at least a hundred jonin among them.

They were definitely heading to war.

"Um... I'm just a Konoha medical ninja, and a genin at that!

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first!

"You sirs, please continue resting!"

Whoosh!

As soon as Qian Yun finished speaking, he tried to slip away, but a jonin with an explosive afro suddenly flashed over.

Qian Yun was so frightened that he collapsed onto the ground, trembling uncontrollably all over.
