Everyone closed their eyes, followed the previous instructor's instructions, cleared their minds, and tried to get themselves into a state of half-asleep and half-awake meditation.
Time passed minute by minute.
Just when Kakashi felt that he was about to fall asleep, a strange feeling came from his body without warning.
It was an... indescribable pulling feeling.
It was as if an invisible big hand had grasped his soul and was pulling it away forcefully!
"Ugh!"
Kakashi groaned and instinctively wanted to resist, but his body felt like it was filled with lead and he could not move. His consciousness was blurring rapidly, and the darkness in front of him was no longer pure black, but began to emerge with countless luminous data waterfalls passing by quickly.
It was as if he had been thrown into a virtual tunnel made of code and light, rushing towards an unknown end point at a speed beyond comprehension.
Weightlessness, dizziness, sensory deprivation...
All kinds of negative feelings came flooding in.
Just when he felt that his spirit was about to be torn apart by this torrent--
Everything came to an abrupt end.
The world has regained "peace".
Kakashi's consciousness suddenly cleared, and he "opened" his eyes.
He saw "himself", lying quietly in the instrument shaped like a dormant chamber, with his eyes closed and his chest rising and falling steadily, as if he was just sleeping.
That's... his body.
And he was clearly "looking" at his physical body from a completely different perspective, one from the other side of the room.
Looking at the body in front of him now, he saw that there was no connection between the clone and the main body, and the puppet he entered now looked more like his "real" body.
Has your soul really entered a puppet???
This feeling is completely different from releasing Shadow Clone, so can I return to my original body?
He was about to reach out and touch his own body, but found that he couldn't control the puppet freely.
And the "body" he was in now began to tremble slightly uncontrollably just because of his thoughts.
Kakashi Now I can't even twist my neck to look at other people.
In fact, this situation is just because his own mental power is too low, and because it is the first time to use White Zetsu Puppet, a body that is different from ordinary people, the brain cannot control the body for a while.
Kakashi took a deep breath - even though this body did not need to breathe at all. But he was a top ninja after all. He began to force himself and recall in his mind what Orochimaru had taught in the theory class.
"... Don't use 'commands' to drive it. That is a habit developed in your own body. This brand new body is a strange 'clothes' and a sophisticated 'instrument' for you. What you need to do is not to command it, but to use your mental power to 'perceive' it, 'link' it, and 'synchronize' it..."
Sense... Link... Synchronize...
Kakashi Close your "eyes" and no longer think about "I want to raise my hand" or "I want to walk", but immerse all your mental power into feeling every inch of "skin" and every "meridian" of this new body.
It's very strange.
The flow pattern of Chakra is completely different from that of humans. There is no familiar meridian system, and it is more like an energy network composed of countless tiny nodes throughout the body.
He didn't even feel the flesh and bones in this body.
He could only use his mental power, like invisible probes, to carefully penetrate the network and try to establish connections with those nodes.
One node, two nodes, ten nodes...
The process is boring and difficult, requiring extreme concentration.
After an unknown amount of time, when his mental power successfully connected to the energy network leading to his right index finger, he concentrated his thoughts and issued the simplest command.
"Move."
The next second.
From the corner of his "eye", he clearly captured the pale, bloodless, and even ugly right hand. The tip of its index finger... trembled slightly.
The amplitude is so small that it is almost undetectable if you don't look carefully.
But this trivial action proved that he was heading in the right direction!
An unprecedented, novel experience like a game, which made him very curious about this experience.
With the first success, the rest of the process will fall into place.
From one finger, to five fingers, to the entire palm.
Kakashi is like a child who has just received a beloved toy, tirelessly manipulating this unfamiliar hand, making various movements such as making fists, opening them, and making gestures.
Although his movements were still as stiff as a puppet's, the feeling of control that "all his wishes came true" made him completely addicted.
He slowly raised the pale palm of the puppet, controlled it, and slowly stretched it towards his own sleeping face in the dormant cabin not far away.
The pale and unfamiliar fingertips gently, gently touched his warm cheek.
On one side is a cold, dead touch.
On the other side is warm, fresh life.
The shock of this moment cannot be described in words.
He suddenly had the urge to control this hand and pat his face to see if it would wake him up from the pain.
"Does this count as... giving myself a hard fight?"
Kakashi came up with an extremely nonsensical thought.
He retracted his thoughts of causing trouble, turned the puppet's stiff "head" and looked around.
I saw other White Zetsu Puppet in the room, moving slowly in the same stiff and weird posture.
The one closest to him is the puppet belonging to his father Hatake Sakumo.
The puppet just stood quietly without making any unnecessary movements, but Kakashi could feel that his father seemed to have completely adapted to this body. It was a kind of silence that was integrated with the environment, as if he was born to stand here.
Not far away, Shisui Uchiha's puppet seemed a little "anxious". It was trying to make various Body Flicker Technique's starting moves at a very high frequency. From time to time, slight afterimages appeared on its body, but it soon became unstable. Obviously, he was trying hard to let this body keep up with his reaction speed.
The puppet of Uchiha Itachi is practicing Hand Seals repeatedly, and its movements have changed from being stumbling at the beginning to becoming smoother at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Everyone is exploring this new "body" in their own way.
At this moment, Orochimaru's voice with a hint of hoarse smile rang through the radio in the room.
"Hehehe... It seems that everyone has successfully 'logged in'. How do you feel? Isn't it amazing?"
"So, this is the end of the novice tutorial."
"Now everyone walks towards the passage in front of them." Following the voice of Orochimaru, a circular passage appeared on the wall beside them.
After everyone heard the instructions, they all began to walk into the opened passage "fast or slow" and entered a wider underground space.
This is a huge comprehensive training ground that simulates various complex terrains.
When everyone was teleported to the center of the field, they used the puppet's senses for the first time to look at each other carefully.
With their uniformly pale bodies and smooth heads, they looked like a group of mass-produced soldiers emerging from the ground.
"This appearance... is too ugly." An elite from the Public Security Department couldn't help complaining, "If I go out to perform tasks with this face in the future, I'm afraid I'll make someone ugly first."
