Upon Mukai had an idea. He patted the excited scorpion...

He sat down Jirai next to the power distribution room, his consciousness entering the sea of consciousness.

Sensing the distinct auras of the three orbs of light, Mukai first asked the one with the sharp, blade-like edge:

"You are Hatake Sakumo? The Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo of Konoha?"

Mukai could sense the extreme sharpness and confusion contained within this light, and replied softly:

" Konoha White Fang is nothing more than a blunt sword that even he himself cannot fathom."

That's right, this ball of light must be Hatake Sakumo.

Mukai asked the leaping ball of light:

"So you're Tsunade's younger brother, Orochimaru's disciple, Senju Nawaki?"

The elusive ball of light exclaimed in delight:

How did you know it was me? Ugh, this isn't funny at all.

I wonder how Orochimaru- sensei and his sister are doing.

They must be really upset that I let them down, right?

Mukai touched the light orb of the Senju Nawaki with his consciousness, then turned to the last large light orb and said:

"So, you are the master of the Spirit Transformation Technique, Dan Katō- senpai, right?"

The ball of light nodded with satisfaction, and said in a calm voice:

" The Spirit Transformation Technique can transcend distance, but it cannot transcend the wickedness of the human heart."

I never expected that Sunagakure could produce such an outstanding junior.

Your application of Spirit Transformation Technique is something even I never imagined.

Perhaps, you really can change the Shinobi World.

"Having resided within your sea of consciousness, I have caused you much disturbance. Konoha Jonin Dan Katō, reporting for duty."

It was indeed the three of them; they had encountered danger during that unconscious Spirit Transformation Technique.

Ultimately, they were able to turn misfortune into good fortune and obtain so many computing nodes.

Thanks to the help of those three orbs of light.

Mukai was very clear about the obsessions of the three of them.

In his sea of consciousness, he spoke to the three orbs of light:

"Thank you so much for your help before."

I understand your obsessions, but I'm not strong enough right now to help you make up for these regrets.

But please believe me, all the aspirations I've shared with those many fragmented obsessions will be my dreams that I strive to achieve!

The kind of unwavering devotion that lasts until death!

Dan Katō's voice rang out:

"After we become spirits, we are bound by our obsessions and cannot go to the Pure Land."

If it weren't for your sea of consciousness providing a refuge, it would probably have slowly dissipated.

Your dream is very inspiring. How can we help you?

Mukai naturally wouldn't be polite to helpers who came to his door:

" Hatake Sakumo- senpai, could you please allocate a portion of the computational nodes and help me compile a complete Nintaijutsu tutorial?"

Hatake Sakumo's beam of light pulsed slightly, as if in agreement:

"No problem. If you have the chance, could you please keep an eye on Kakashi for me?"

"Of course, I'll keep an eye on him. Are you sure you don't want to talk to him yourself?"

"For now, let's not. I haven't gotten over it myself, and my confusion about principles means I can't offer Kakashi any help."

In Mukai Xiangjun's sea of consciousness, I was synchronized with a lot of knowledge that did not belong to this era.

The era in which Mukai lived was truly remarkable. Let me reflect on it for a while longer!

Mukai naturally wouldn't force him; after agreeing to Hatake Sakumo, he first turned to Dan Katō's ball of light:

"Senior Duan, could you use your Spirit Transformation Technique to help me build a computing node pathway that spans a distance?"

"Based on Mukai Xiangjun's ideas on intelligent computing nodes, I have also come up with some ideas for improving the Spirit Transformation Technique."

Could you allocate some computing nodes to me?

I need some time to refine this technique.

Mukai readily agreed; it would only consume some electricity, and with his deep pockets, he could afford it!

Having such a master of Spirit Transformation Technique to help him develop his skills is like having a pillow ready to fall asleep!

He was also well aware of the obsession that Dan Katō hadn't mentioned:

"Senior Dan, as far as I know, Lady Tsunade should be in the Land of Hot Water, numbing herself with alcohol and gambling."

"You and Nawaki are the people she cares about most, don't you want to go see them?"

The ball of light belonging to Dan Katō remained silent for a long time before finally replying:

"I don't know how to face Tsunade either. I'll wait until I've developed this Spirit Transformation Communication Technique!"

Mukai then turned to the Nawaki:

" Nawaki- kun, do you have a way to contact Lord Orochimaru?"

Senju Nawaki hesitated and said:

"My teacher taught me the Summoning Technique technique for communicating with snakes, but right now I'm only a spirit and can't use Summoning Technique!"

Mukai was delighted and said:

"It's okay, I can use it! Nawaki- kun, teach me Summoning Technique!"

Once Mukai learned the Summoning Technique in the world of consciousness, he also divided up some computational nodes for Nawaki to help him organize Ninjutsu.

As Orochimaru's disciple, Orochimaru received Nawaki's complete and unreserved instruction in Ninjutsu.

Unfortunately...

Mukai told Konan and the others that he was going out to test his Genin.

He left the puppet workshop alone and traveled swiftly to a deserted valley near the Land of Land of Rain in the Land of Wind.

Back then, Nawaki was still young and hadn't signed a blood pact with the giant serpent of Ryūchi Cave.

Orochimaru taught him how to summon snakes for communication.

Mukai his bioelectric field to sense that there was no one around before he began to Hand Seals:

"Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei"

Summoning Technique!

This type of ordinary Summoning Technique does not involve a blood pact and does not require blood as a medium.

As the runes on the ground flashed, a small white snake appeared from within a cloud of white smoke.

When the small white snake appeared, it seemed to pause for a moment in surprise at the person in front of it.

Immediately afterwards, the small snake suddenly opened its mouth and spat out Orochimaru, which was covered in sticky fluid.

Wow, Orochimaru, your entrance was so unexpected, you really have some serious tastes.

Orochimaru, having stood up, spoke in his distinctive voice:

"Hehe, Mukai, it's so soon we meet again."

This is so unexpected; it's my Messenger Snake Technique.

I don't recall giving Mukai this technique, so I'm very curious about where it came from.

Mukai pointed to his head and said:

"I will not touch any art that blasphemes the dead."

Lord Orochimaru, do you still remember that when I was in Konoha, I visited many orphans of fallen Konoha Ninja?

Orochimaru was naturally aware of this matter; the fact that a Sand Ninja was spending money on such a large scale in Konoha was quite a topic of discussion.

Now that Mukai had suddenly brought it up, Orochimaru, being so intelligent, narrowed his serpentine vertical pupils and licked his lips, saying:

"Interesting. Mukai Xiangjun is indeed intelligent. He has already grasped the basics of Spirit Transformation Technique so quickly."

If I'm not mistaken, Mukai's encounter was during his cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Technique, right?

Mukai nodded and continued:

"When I was in Konoha, I had many dreams in which the ninjas asked me to go and see their families."

Of course, I also saw a boy in my dream whose hair resembled Lord Orochimaru's.

He was very energetic, wearing Konoha Forehead Protector, and talked to me a lot. He was the one who taught me this technique...

Mukai sensed a strong murderous aura, as if he were in the middle of a bloody horror movie.

He knew this touched on Orochimaru's most hidden pain.

Even so, he continued:

"That boy told me that he only realized how fragile dreams are in the face of Explosive Tag when the explosion occurred."

Orochimaru seemed to sway slightly, and both of his hands trembled involuntarily.

He seemed to have returned to the battlefield, and saw the mangled, bloodied figure of Nawaki.

Mukai's voice seemed to have become somewhat distorted:

"I don't know why, but that child asked me to tell Lord Orochimaru..."

The original words were. "Teacher, you are on the path of pursuing truth, and that is not wrong."

But if this path requires extinguishing all cherished emotions, then does the final destination truly hold any meaning?

The Kunai my teacher gave me, I haven't used it yet, it's still hidden in the same old spot.
