There are also data centers that analyze various data.
There are also testing grounds for conducting various experiments.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the tall jars filled with green liquid.
Without exception, these jars contain various monsters.
Curious, Li tried to get closer to a glass jar, intending to observe these monsters up close.
However, what she didn't expect was that just when her hand was about to touch the glass jar, the eyes of the bear-shaped monster suddenly moved.
"what!"
The frightened girl screamed, and her delicate right hand subconsciously clenched into a fist and smashed it at the jar in front of her.
"Oh!"
The huge force shattered the glass jar that Orochimaru had reinforced with a special ninjutsu. Green liquid splashed, and the monster inside took the opportunity to slip out.
"Want to run?"
The girl realized what a stupid thing she had done and became furious.
She swung her fist and beat the bear monster that wanted to attack people half to death, and then sent it back to Orochimaru.
"hey-hey."
The girl had a very innocent smile on her face.
Orochimaru didn't say much about this.
It's just a monster used for experiments. It's no big deal even if it runs away.
What is really worth noting is Li's attitude towards these monsters.
"what?"
"Are there any monsters here?"
"is there a problem?"
She said with a confused look on her face.
Clumsily, she looked around again and again.
But I still didn't find anything wrong with the monsters here.
"Isn't it good?"
In her opinion, there didn't seem to be much difference between sealing the monster in a jar and sealing it under a mountain, in hell, or something like that.
And indeed it is.
but--
"Li."
"Do you remember how many registered jonin there are in Edo Castle?"
Looking at the girl who still hadn't reacted, Nan Xing finally spoke up to remind her.
"Four? Or five?"
The girl thought for a moment and gave an answer.
She was not in the ninja system and was not familiar with the number of ninjas there.
But she still remembered clearly how many unlucky people there were in Edo Castle who could "go against" her.
——Those ninjas who can barely defend against her attacks and even launch counterattacks are undoubtedly true jonin.
As for the others who fell down after being hit...even if they have the title of jonin, they are just fakes.
"Yes, seven."
Nanxing gave a definite answer.
In the entire Musashi country, there are only seven permanent ninjas with the strength of a jonin.
Their existence, also known as the "Ninja Seven Team", is widely known among the people.
"But look at this base, how many jonin are there?"
Seeing that the girl hadn't reacted yet, Nanxing directly pointed out the truth.
A word to wake up the dreamer!
"Two, twenty?"
Seven versus twenty.
One country versus one base.
This is such a significant gap.
This made the girl start to think about how Orochimaru was able to do this.
——Is it really that Orochimaru’s teaching ability is too excellent?
Maybe there is a factor in this.
After all, Orochimaru's coaching ability has been verified by a series of talents including Uchiha Sasuke, Kaguya Kimimaro, and Kabuto Yakushi.
But at the same time, compared to these nonsense things.
Orochimaru's real strength is not in giving spiritual chicken soup to his subordinates.
Instead, we use external objects, analyze them, and transform them into our own strength.
"Well--"
"Fear was originally born from humans, so it can naturally be used on humans."
"Is not it?"
Orochimaru said with a smile.
The smile on his face never changed.
But this time, the girl felt a chill on her back as she laughed.
……
This is a heinous act.
Orochimaru knew exactly what he was doing.
“Artificial monsterization.”
But he didn't care.
He just wanted to find out the essence of this special existence called "monster".
It doesn't matter to the ninjas who were subjected to his human experiments.
Monsters are evil, but there is nothing wrong with seeking power.
While conducting the experiment, Orochimaru will try his best to find monsters that are more compatible with the subjects, and control the process of demonization as much as possible, so that the subjects can retain their human will while being transformed into monsters.
Therefore, these ninjas who can transform into monsters are also called [Ghost Ninjas].
As for those teams composed of top ghost ninjas, they specialize in hunting powerful monsters to replenish their soul energy.
"Demon Slayer Corps."
Orochimaru spread his hands, a rather regretful expression on his face.
"I told you it was an ugly name."
"But they insisted on taking it, and I had no choice."
Chapter 33 The Future You Want
The tour of Ninja City continues.
After seeing the [Demon Incubation Center], Orochimaru also took Rei to visit the [Ghost Ninja] training methods.
The special ability called [Partial Demonization] brought a great psychological trauma to the girl who had never seen such a scene before.
In addition, today's Li was even "lucky" enough to witness the entire process of the birth of the ghost ninja.
"First confirm the compatible monster."
"For example, this ninja's chakra attributes are [Water] and [Earth], so I chose a kappa to match him."
Orochimaru’s explanation was very patient.
But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Li felt.
——Knowing the existence of Oni-ninja is one thing, and seeing how they fight is another.
But it is another matter entirely to see with your own eyes how Orochimaru transforms a living human being into a monster that is neither human nor ghost!
"You guys are too..."
The girl pouted as she looked at the ninja in the distance whose limbs suddenly became extremely enlarged and whose feet gradually evolved into webbed feet like duck feet.
She wanted to say something unpleasant, but in the end she didn't say it.
Because she has already confirmed it.
These experiments were requested by the ninja himself.
Even before the experiment was carried out, Orochimaru repeatedly explained to him the harm of this experiment to the body.
But he still did not hesitate.
Moreover, after the experiment was successful, he dragged his body, which no longer had a human form, and excitedly expressed his gratitude to Orochimaru.
"You want to call me evil, don't you?"
After seeing off the overjoyed ninja, Orochimaru once again turned his attention to the girl.
This time, there was no smile on his face.
Because this involves the basic qualities of a scientific researcher.
It was a fact he had to reiterate countless times:
“But technology is not evil.”
"The truly evil ones are humans who want to use these technologies for dangerous purposes."
……
"Human nature is evil."
This is not a philosophical statement.
It is a fact that cannot be more clear.
"Selfish, cowardly, lazy, extreme, greedy..."
There are countless shortcomings in human beings.
They can completely destroy an entire race for their own selfish desires, or even just for the sake of satisfying their appetite.
But at the same time, it must be acknowledged.
It is precisely because of so many shortcomings that human beings can continue to move forward and firmly occupy the position of "the leader of all spirits."
"Private property comes from selfish desires."
“Because of laziness, tools were made and used.”
“Because of greed, I learned to explore.”
"Weapons and armor were invented because of cowardice."
"..."
said with no exaggeration.
The history of human progress is actually the history of submitting to one's own shortcomings and developing them.
And these monsters that symbolize human fears are naturally also part of human shortcomings.
"As an enemy, the so-called monster is of course a terrifying force."
