Don't mess with us Konoha if you have nothing to do. This is the attitude Senju Chen gives to Kumogakure.
Senju Chen closed the report and looked at his system panel.
In the system warehouse, four lines of characters are arranged quietly.
[Three-Tails×1 being sealed]
[Nine-Tails×1 being sealed]
[Six-Tails×1 being sealed]
[Eight-Tails×1 being sealed]
Four.
Senju Chen leaned on the back of the chair, put his hands behind his head, and stared at the ceiling.
Kumogakure came here thinking he was here to gather information.
As a result, I didn't get much intelligence, so I got a Eight-Tails as a gift.
All I can say is "Shinobi World still has a lot of good people!!!"
At the same time, deep inside Ryūchi Cave.
Deep in the dark and damp cave, Senju Chen and Puppet Clone were sitting cross-legged on a flat stone platform.
There is a lavender mark on the neck that is slowly heating up.
That is "Snake Bite Mark" that White Snake Sage carved on it before starting the practice. Ryūchi Cave Senjutsu is the first level of practice.
Natural Energy is following this mark, penetrating into the puppet's body piece by piece.
The speed is very slow.
But the clone can clearly feel that the energy is completely different from Chakra. Chakra is hot, restless, and controllable. Natural Energy is cold, calm, like an underground river flowing slowly in the body. You can't rush it, you can't push it, you can only wait for it to find its way.
White Snake Sage was coiled on the roof of the cave, looking at him with one eye half open.
"The first stage of 'induction' has passed." White Snake Sage's voice was feminine and lazy, "From now on is the second stage - 'swallowing'."
"Let Natural Energy take the initiative to enter your body and merge with your Chakra. You cannot resist this process, you can only accept it. If your body cannot withstand the impact of the fusion, you will turn into a snake."
The clone looked down at his hands.
The skin of my right hand still retains the fine scales that grew during the last "bath". Although most of them have receded, the touch of the fingertips has obviously become rough.
"What happens if the puppet turns into a snake?"
White Snake Sage laughed.
"Then just make another one. Your body won't die anyway."
The corner of the clone's mouth twitched.
This is the truth, but the process of transforming into a snake is said to be excruciatingly painful. Even if the consciousness eventually returns to its original form, the feeling in those few seconds is enough for a person to drink a pot.
"Stop dawdling." White Snake Sage's tail hung down from the ceiling of the cave and lightly tapped the clone's shoulder, "Let's get started."
The clone closed its eyes.
The temperature of Snake Bite Mark rises suddenly.
Natural Energy seemed to have been opened, pouring into the body from the mark. It was not the trickle before, but a torrent with a sense of oppression.
The clone's hands began to tremble. The scales on the back of the hands reappeared, spreading from the fingers to the wrists, twice as fast as last time.
"Hold still." White Snake Sage's voice came from above the head, unhurriedly, "Don't resist. Let it flow."
The clone gritted its teeth and suppressed all instincts of resistance.
Natural Energy ran rampant in the body for about thirty seconds, and then gradually found a path and flowed along the direction of the Chakra meridian.
The scales stopped spreading.
Stop at the wrist.
The clone opened its eyes and let out a long breath.
"Yeah." There was a hint of surprise in White Snake Sage's tone, "It's faster than I expected. It seems that Ten-Tails Tree's cells are really well adapted to Natural Energy."
It slid down from the roof of the cave and leaned close to the clone's wrist to look at the scales.
"Don't worry about these scales, they are a normal reaction. They will disappear automatically after you fully control the inflow of Natural Energy."
The clone nodded.
On the Ryūchi Cave side, the progress is considered average compared to Three Great Sage Lands.
Mount Myōboku.
Toad Oil In front of the waterfall.
The other clone was standing on the stone platform by the waterfall with his upper body bare, his shoulders and back coated with a shiny substance.
Toad Oil.
This thing is an auxiliary medium for Mount Myōboku to practice Senjutsu. After it is applied to the body, the skin's sensitivity to Natural Energy will increase several times, which is equivalent to adding an amplifier to the senses.
But the side effects are also obvious.
If the user cannot control the influx of Natural Energy, the body will begin to petrify - starting from the oiled area and rapidly spreading throughout the body.
Sage Fukasaku squatted beside the stone platform, holding an iron rod in his hand.
This iron rod is specially used to knock the petrified person - if you knock it, the petrifying process will be temporarily interrupted, giving the cultivator time to regain control.
The clone closed its eyes and felt the Natural Energy coming from all directions.
Natural Energy of Mount Myōboku is completely different from Ryūchi Cave. Natural Energy of Ryūchi Cave is cold, heavy, with The unique feminine feeling of snakes. And Natural Energy of Mount Myōboku is thick, warm and integrated, like standing in the middle of an ancient forest, with the breath of countless lives beating at it at the same time.
The clone tries to open the perception range.
In an instant, all the life breath of Mount Myōboku rushed in.
The sound of the Toad Oil waterfall, the splashing sound of Gamahiro in the distance when Water Release is practiced, the faint rhythm of the slowly growing moss on the stone platform under your feet - all details are magnified dozens of times.
"Steady, steady." Sage Fukasaku stared at the side, "Don't be greedy, control it within ten meters first."
The clone closes in and senses.
Ten meters.
The influx of Natural Energy has dropped to a controllable level.
"Okay. Just keep it like this." Sage Fukasaku's voice slowed down, "Feel the flow of Natural Energy in your body. Don't guide it, let it go on its own."
The clone lasted about forty seconds.
Then I suddenly felt a stiffness in my left shoulder.
Petrochemicalization begins.
"Pah!"
Sage Fukasaku The iron rod in his hand hit the clone's left shoulder accurately.
The stiffness subsides instantly.
"You didn't control it evenly enough." Sage Fukasaku frowned, "The perception on the left half was too wide, Natural Energy concentrated on the left side, Chakra the balance was broken."
The clone moved his left shoulder and nodded.
"Come again."
Sage Fukasaku turned the iron rod around in his hand.
"There is an advantage to your puppet body - even if it turns to stone, your body will not be affected. If it were a real person, I would not dare to let him practice like this."
Mount Myōboku's progress is the slowest, but the foundation is the most solid.
Sage Fukasaku is the strictest of all the immortal instructors, and will not let go of any deviation.
