In the next few days, Senju Chen's life became very regular.
In the early morning, when the first ray of sky pierced the dark night, he would appear on time at the training ground in the backyard, tempering his body with violent thunder and lightning, feeling that every inch of flesh and blood became stronger as it was broken and then stood up. In the afternoon, he would shut himself in the room and devote himself to the two black scrolls taken out from the library.
In the room, Senju Chen was sitting cross-legged on the tatami. Spread out in front of him were [Soul Sealing] and [Spirit Transformation Technique].
With further study, Senju Chen's expression became increasingly weird.
These two forbidden arts can be said to have the same origin.
The principle of [Soul Sealing] is to use one's own Chakra to combine with spiritual power to form a special energy wave, which forcibly acts on the enemy's spirit, that is, the soul, and tightly suppresses it within the opponent's body.
Senju Chen combined the knowledge from previous lives and soon had his own understanding.
The obscure description on the scroll probably means that the human spirit or soul usually originates from the "heart" (Senju Chen automatically understands it as the brain) and is an invisible energy field that radiates outward. The body and the brain are like one light and one dark, one yin and one yang. The body is responsible for refining Chakra this visible and tangible "yang" attribute energy, while the brain breeds the invisible and intangible "yin" attribute spiritual power.
Most people in this world will chase the visible "yang" and ignore the invisible "yin".
This technique is to use your own power to forcefully squeeze the opponent's escaped spiritual power, reverse the flow of the enemy's "yin and yang", and make the opponent's spiritual power that originally radiated outwards suddenly shrink into every part of the body.
But the problem is that the human body is a container for storing and operating Chakra. Except for the "spiritual platform" of the brain, other parts of the body cannot withstand such a huge torrent of Mental Energy with different properties. As a result, the body is "overwhelmed", and from the spirit to the body, it completely falls into a rigid "downtime" state.
"It's interesting..." Senju Chen rubbed his chin, his eyes flashing with thought. "Isn't this effect a combination of the Nara Clan's Shadow Imitation Technique, plus Yamanaka Clan Mind Body Switch Technique? One controls the body, the other controls the mind. The second uncle's technique is a double hard control. It's really simple and crude."
However, when the Nara Clan and Yamanaka Clan techniques are released, the user cannot move freely in a wide range, but [Soul Sealing] is different. Not only can it control you, but it can also give you a big mouth and ask you if you are angry.
He put down the scroll of [Soul Sealing] and picked up another one - the S-level forbidden technique created by Dan Kato, [Spirit Transformation Technique].
If the technique of Second Hokage reveals the rigor and coldness of a researcher, then the technique of Dan Kato is full of wild imagination and even a bit crazy.
At the beginning, he discovered that [Spirit Transformation Technique]'s introductory cultivation method was exactly the same as [Soul Sealing].
Seeing this, I thought about the relationship between Dan Kato and his sister...
Hey, Senju Chen I can only say, sister, you were not married at that time, and your elbow is bent like this. This is an S-level forbidden technique, so you can give it to me as you say.
Originally, Senju Chen didn't have much expectations for the next report. After all, they come from the same source, so how big the difference can be. But looking back, Senju Chen was really shocked.
The only difference between these two techniques is that after the practitioner successfully feels and initially mobilizes his own soul energy, [Soul Sealing] teaches you how to use this power towards the enemy, while [Spirit Transformation Technique]... actually allows you to release this power towards yourself???
"Good guy!" Senju Chen couldn't help but vomit, "You guys who are playing with souls, are you so cruel to yourselves?"
He suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to look down.
The scroll explains that the purpose of [Spirit Transformation Technique]'s self-release is not self-mutilation, but a unique tempering. It uses its own power to force the soul to "familiar" and "control" every corner of the body. In this process, the soul power will be continuously compressed, tempered, and then strengthened again. When the practitioner's soul power is strong enough to completely "precipitate" and infiltrate the entire body, achieving an unprecedented deep integration with the body, this technique is initially completed.
Seeing this, Senju Chen was completely shocked and speechless by the idea of this forbidden technique.
Feel the soul, temper the soul, strengthen the soul, and finally unite soul and body?
Where is this Ninjutsu!
This is clearly about cultivating immortality!
Forbidden magic = cultivating immortality?
The scroll says that treating spiritual power, that is, the soul, as an independent energy body that can be cultivated and strengthened, and tempering it through specific methods to make it more closely integrated with the physical body, isn't this the "foundation building" and "god refining" in fantasy novels?
You Dan Kato really dare to think. Not only do you dare to think, you also really dare to do it.
Moreover, according to the subsequent description of the scroll, when this technique is practiced to a high level, the soul can even briefly break away from the shackles of the body and turn into a "living spirit" to carry out ultra-long-distance movements and attacks. In the spirit state, it can ignore most physical defenses, directly attack or control the enemy's soul, and even sneak into the spiritual world of others.
"The soul is out of the body... you are obviously the soul out of the body, right?"
Senju Chen's expression became extremely exciting. He picked up the scroll as if he wanted to see some flowers on the yellowed paper.
"Dan Kato... Tell me honestly, did you also secretly go to China to study? Otherwise, how could this idea appear in the Hokage world?"
The secret book of "cultivating immortality" in front of me made Senju Chen's brain buzz.
However, after the shock, there was ecstasy.
If Senju Chen hadn't read the original work, Senju Chen would have definitely thrown this scroll as far as it would go.
With your description like this, no one will think you are a lunatic. How can anyone dare to practice it? No wonder this technique is classified as a super S forbidden technique.
But it is precisely because I have read the original work that Senju Chen knows that this technique can really be practiced...
Senju Chen looked at [Spirit Transformation Technique] and [Soul Sealing] in front of him. These two techniques opened a door to a new field for him, and also completed his last and most mysterious piece of the puzzle.
Body, energy, soul.
Just study these two techniques and understand them.
Then he will be a trinity, and there will be no shortcomings from now on!
This is what he pursues, the ultimate form that can firmly hold his destiny in his own hands.
Of course, he is also aware of the dangers of these two S-level forbidden arts. If you make a wrong step in the cultivation of the soul level, you may become an idiot at best, or you may lose your soul and lose even the chance of reincarnation.
But so what?
He remembered that in the original work, at the end of Fourth Shinobi World War, Sasuke Uchiha was stabbed through the heart by Lord Madara and was on the verge of death. It was Second Hokage who used [Soul Sealing] to forcibly retain Sasuke's soul that was about to dissipate, and bought valuable time for Kabuto Yakushi's treatment.
And once [Spirit Transformation Technique] is completed, it may finally be able to realize the immortality of the soul and be reborn through reincarnation. At that time...
"Hmm...?"
"Immortal soul? Rebirth through reincarnation?"
Why does this picture feel inexplicably familiar???
Damn it, isn't this our later Auntie Snake???
Come on, what a good guy. Senju Chen finally realized it. It turns out that his teacher Orochimaru could not be killed in the later stage of Hokage, and he could keep changing his body. It turns out that the real reason is here.
Looking at the two forbidden arts in front of him, Senju Chen let out a long breath and carefully put away the two scrolls.
The huge amount of information and the intense concentration for several days made it difficult for Senju Chen to digest for a while, and his brain became a little dizzy.
Why don't you relax for a while? Kushina was still clamoring to take him out for shopping yesterday.
Is it also important to have a proper balance between work and rest? Senju Chen found an excuse for himself in an instant.
Sure enough, in the face of relaxation and rest, any thought of hard work cannot be an excuse.
