Chapter 12 The Almighty Chakra
It was not until the sun set that Shuimu finished the mission and returned home. Xiaochun had already prepared supper and waited at home.
"It's going well today. I heard that the team leader is Yushou Shai Hongdou Specialty Ninja."
"Well, nothing special, it went smoothly. It was originally planned to be completed in ten days, but now there are a few more helpers. If you work harder, see if you can complete it in advance."
"That's good. I heard that Iruka is here too. You guys are getting along well today."
"Well, don't worry, there's no problem."
"That's good." Xiaochun felt relieved, "Today I have sorted out some basic information about sealing techniques and put them on your desk. You can take a look, maybe it will be useful to you."
"Thank you, Xiaochun." Mizuki said happily. "Then let's have a meal first."
"good."
Just then, a knock on the door came.
"It's this time, who will come?"
Shuimu went to open the door and found that it was Iruka.
"Yo, Iruka, why are you here now? Is there anything wrong?"
"Is it Iruka? Do you want to come in and have dinner together?" Xiaochun also invited him when he heard the movement outside the door.
"No need, I'll leave right away. I'm here to deliver this to you this time." After saying that, Iruka took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Shuimu.
"What's this?"
"The sealing technique scroll contains several very simple sealing techniques and tips."
"You know I want this?"
"Shuimu, after all, we are friends for more than ten years, and we still have some understanding of you, otherwise you would have said the sealing array for no reason?"
Well, Iruka is indeed an unhelpful old man.
"Wait." After saying that, Mizuki turned around and took two scrolls and threw them to Iruka.
"This is my experience in using illusion techniques, a little knowledge of puppet techniques and secret medicines. Although it is not a great thing, it should be enough for you."
"Shuimu, are you?"
"I don't want to owe you favors, so I will be owed to you."
"Ah, it's true~ Then I'm better obey my duty than respect, thank you."
"No need, you should think about how to complete the task as soon as possible."
"That's it, don't bother, goodbye."
"Wait, Iruka." Shuimu suddenly changed his mind and said, "I owe you a favor this time. I can come to me if I have something to do next time." Although Iruka didn't realize that he had suffered a great loss, Shuimu could not forgive himself for taking advantage of his friend's ignorance.
"Then it's up to you."
"See you tomorrow."
Iruka, who had returned to the room, looked at the busy Xiaochun and looked at the scroll in her hand.
"Do you need to find a few helpers? Fighting alone is not a good choice. You don't have that ability. It seems that it is necessary to establish and expand your network of relationships as soon as possible. Maybe you can benefit from it at any time. A certain degree of communication is also a kind of protection for yourself."
In the next few days, Mizuki went out early and came back late every day, and completed the task honestly. On the eighth day, the three Shinin stopped following. The next two days mainly involved the arrangement of the examination room. Although they did not know the news about the Chunin exam, it was difficult for them to participate in the part directly related to the Chunin exam. Iruka, Mizuki and Mishou washed red beans until they completed the final task, reported to the third generation of Naruto and obtained recognition, and only got a few days of rare holidays.
On a leisurely afternoon, Shuimu leaned on the windowsill and basked in the sun, watching the crowds coming and going on the street.
"The scene of peace and prosperity will not last for a long time." Then Shuimu turned his attention to a few inconspicuous plants in the flower pot on the windowsill.
These plants are ordinary plants brought out from the Death Forest, but after several days of experiments, some changes have gradually occurred. A plant similar to kudzu was originally known for its rapid reproduction and as an ordinary medicinal material, but after several days of warming up with its own chakra, it gradually showed a very strong vitality. Even if it was chopped into several pieces, new sprouts would grow in less than two days. There is also a insectivorous plant similar to nepenthes grass, which has gradually become huge in recent days. Occasionally, sparrows, mice and others are even lured and captured and eaten. Others such as bamboo that produces rapidly, flowers that can be resurrected when dried into hay, etc. In the rich chakra environment, some wonderful changes have occurred.
This is not the most surprising thing. Shuimu turned his head and looked at some transparent creatures in a large glass jar in the middle of the house. Without looking carefully, he could not see their bodies. He only saw them dancing with their long tentacles and swimming slowly. If they were not gathered into a ball of red light, they would not know that these things were alive.
This thing is a specialty sold by foreign merchants that Shuimu accidentally found in a night market stall. A rare jellyfish with severe toxicity. At first sight, Shuimu bought it without hesitation, then kept it at home, focusing on observation. Not only did they often be placed in a rich chakra environment, but they even fed a lot of their own blood to see the situation. In the end, Shuimu was surprised to find that this jellyfish has very similar characteristics to the lighthouse jellyfish in his previous life. In a sense, the lighthouse jellyfish is the only theoretically grown species discovered in the previous life. If the environment is suitable, the lighthouse jellyfish can survive forever. Because this creature has a wonderful characteristic. When this jellyfish grows into a mature body, it can directly degenerate into a juvenile body hydrous state, and then grows normally into a mature body jellyfish again, and it will continue over and over again. Until one day it is eaten by the predator.
For a long time, the desire for immortality has always been hard to come by. Orochimaru has been studying tirelessly for so many years, and only then has an imperfect immortality technique that cannot be reincarnated. In a certain aspect, immortality still has theoretical possibilities. But immortality is actually a false proposition. There is life and death. No matter how strong the vitality is, from the infinite timeline, it seems that one day it will die completely due to accidents or no surprises. However, just theoretical immortality is almost impossible. The developed technology in the previous life only discovered the theoretical miracle of the lighthouse jellyfish, which shows how difficult it is.
In this world where chakra and extraordinary power appear, if there are good materials, it is very possible to achieve a certain degree of immortality or a great improvement in vitality. If you tell Orochimaru the strange biological characteristics of the lighthouse jellyfish, he must have developed a more powerful reincarnation technique.
"However, although I don't have the crazy scientist-like fanaticism of Orochimaru, I still have chakra. I can do it in a different way. Thanks to the omnipotent chakra."
During the experiments over the past few days, Shuimu even signed a psychic beast contract with a lighthouse jellyfish. Although the lighthouse jellyfish's intelligence is completely insufficient to listen to any orders and its weak body is completely useless, in the experiment of the lighthouse jellyfish's transformation and splitting, it was completely verified that the individual who had the psychic contract did not disappear. Reverse growth really exists.
In Mizuki's opinion, the biotechnology book in the ninja world is extremely deformed. Due to the existence of chakra and the extremely powerful vitality, the world even completed organ transplantation and cloning under simple conditions. I believe that I have also understood the basic theory of genetic code, but in actual use, it still uses barbaric fusion method, and there is no precise genetically modified technology like gene scissors in previous lives. Maybe it is because it is not necessary. As long as you go through barbaric fusion and have enough experimental samples, you can always get the results you want. This is also the common point between basic technology and extraordinary power. As long as it is enough, the next more basic exploration will often be unconsciously ignored.
Thinking of this, Shuimu activated the sealing array nested in the windowsill plant planting area and the fish tank. With the injection of chakra, the gradually dim formation barrier began to operate with all its strength again.
These formations are the results of Shuimu research in the past few days. At present, they are far from the actual energy combat, but simply gathering chakra to form a chakra enrichment environment can be achieved. As for the basic principles of sealing techniques, the sealing of tangible matter and chakra energy that are barely realized, and the basic analysis of energy power has not been completed. They can only inject chakra into chakra again and again to maintain the operation of the magic array. As for the effect that can be achieved, the relatively simple sealing seal, sealing array, and sealing method of small objects has been temporarily understood, but they still have a deeper understanding of the four-simile seal, eight-gua seal, and five-element seal. The more powerful Yin-attribute sealing technique based on mental power has just begun, and it is still a long way to solve its own hidden dangers.
After looking at it, there was nothing to organize. Finally, after confirming that there was no problem with the babies in the fish tank, Shuimu went out shopping leisurely. Anyway, she couldn't think of a way to stay alone at home. Maybe she could even encounter surprises like a lighthouse jellyfish when she went out for a walk.
On the other side, Konoha's Naruto's office, the third generation is listening to Anbu's report on Mizuki.
"Did Shuimu have no suspicious places these days?" asked the third generation.
"Yes, 3rd generation, we did a very detailed inspection of the task of cleaning the Death Forest and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it. Moreover, Yushou washed the red beans without finding anything suspicious."
"What are Shuimu doing these days?"
“On vacation at home, occasionally wandering the streets.”
"So did he contact any suspicious person?"
"I didn't find out that the only people Iruka and his fiancee Chie Tsubasa were recently exposed to. Others were just talking to ordinary vendors on the street. We have verified the identity, so there is no problem."
“Trade vendor?”
"Yes, Shuimu seems to be doing some research on medicines and poisons recently. He brought several common plants and herbs in the forest of death. The details have been recorded in the report, and he bought several poisonous insects from vendors. Now these are kept by Shuimu at home and seem to be taken seriously."
"Oh?" The third generation flipped the report on his hand and found no problems in it.
"Very poisonous jellyfish? What does he want this?"
"Currently, it is kept in the fish tank by water and wood, which means to reproduce in large quantities, and it should be extracting poison."
"Yeah." The third generation went through the basic information of Shuimu again. As a civilian ninja with no inheritance, Shuimu has ordinary abilities and no excellence. Its attribute is ordinary fire, and there is no support for various escape techniques accumulated by the family. It is not surprising that external objects like poison can only be used as a unique method. After all, Shuimu had recorded many times using poisons in the past.
"That's how it is." The third generation thought about it.
"From now on, Shuimu's full-day monitoring will be cancelled and will be replaced by key area monitoring. After three days, Shuimu's vacation will be over, let him assist in the classification and distribution of tasks. The B-level or above tasks handled by Shuimu must be handed over to me for review."
