Chapter 109 Surgery
"Sir?" Hida looked at Lunie nervously.
He couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, facing a strong man who could take his life at any time, and being summoned to this laboratory with special significance, he had some guesses in his mind about what would happen next.
Good news, he is not the only one who came here.
The bad news is that even if several people came together, they would be powerless to resist Lu Nie because he was the only one present who was a former ninja of the Rain Village.
"It seems that you have recovered well." Lu Nie said calmly as he looked at Hida and the others who were no longer extremely weak.
"I can't stay here for long, so I need someone to help me manage this fortress."
Xida and the others looked at each other, their originally uneasy hearts were a little confused for a moment. But soon, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes, and they quickly responded to Lu Nie again and pledged their loyalty and assurances.
"grown ups……"
“I have seen your performance over the past few days. I believe that you will be able to maintain order in Anker Bandian even when I am not here.
But you should understand that you can manage Anker Bandian and those who stay because I am still here. If I leave, it is hard to say whether those ninjas will still be obedient. "
Lu Ne interrupted what Sheeta and the others were saying, and in a calm, almost cruel tone, told them what might happen next.
He never thought that in such a short period of time, he could make all the people he saved obey his orders and be loyal to him.
He is not like Orochimaru, who is good at grasping, seeing through and bewitching people's hearts. He likes to train children and instill his own will into them from an early age.
Hida and the others obviously understood this. After all, the ninja world is a world where the strong prey on the weak.
"Do you want to gain power?"
Lu Nie's words caused the laboratory to fall silent for a moment.
"Power, what do you mean?"
After a moment, Xida stammered and asked anxiously.
"It is to place a kind of power in your body so that you can use it." Lu Nie finished speaking, and added: "It is similar to the secret technique or blood limit. It just saves you the process of learning and awakening."
"Like a ninja?" One of the civilians raised his hand. He was a businessman before, but because of the Ninja World War, his property was looted and he was imprisoned in Anker Bandian.
It was also because of his identity as a businessman that he stood out in terms of managing people and handling affairs. As someone who had dealt with ninjas, he used to be very envious of their strength.
"Of course you can." Lu Nie nodded, "But if I want you to skip the process and directly master the power, it will certainly save you a lot of time and energy, but it is not without hidden dangers.
Before you fully understand the power, it will be difficult for you to increase your strength through your own hard work and practice.
And this transformation will need to be upgraded and adjusted many times based on your feedback.”
"Will I die?" Among the four people, except for Xida and the businessman, another person raised his hand. His face looked a little scared.
This is a bandit with excellent physical fitness. He has been held by Anker Bandian for longer than Sheeta. If he had the method to practice chakra, with his superior physical fitness, he could at least reach the level of a Chunin from the five major ninja villages in terms of physical skills.
This is already rare!
In this world, people with chakra and those without chakra are two completely different kinds of life. A Genin, with great caution, can clear out a small bandit den.
"I can't say there are no risks." Lu Nie shook his head, "But what I can guarantee is that the risks will be suppressed to a controllable stage.
Also, this is not a compulsion, it’s a mutual choice. If you are scared or worried, you can leave now. I don’t mind whether you keep everything the same or want to leave.”
The four of Xida looked at each other again, and none of them backed down. They knew very well that without power there was no safety in this world.
Even if there are risks, as long as they don't die on the spot, they don't intend to retreat. The only thing that makes them worried and afraid is that too many prisoners have died in this laboratory.
After all, Shennong's forbidden medical skills were acquired through a large number of dissections and experiments. His face looked like a middle-aged man, but it was only because of his forbidden medical skills. In fact, his real age might be much older than his face looked.
"I accept!"
The bandit spoke first. His previous hesitation, worry and fear gradually turned into determination as he spoke.
He's had enough of living a precarious life!
Family, friends, children.
The deaths one after another made him feel numb. He used to think that the meaning of his life now was to live on until he could no longer live like his deceased relatives.
But right now, there is a way and opportunity to gain power before him, and even though he is numb, he wants to reach out and grab it.
At least, if you have the strength, you can protect yourself and your loved ones at the critical moment, instead of watching them die in front of you without being able to do anything, right?
"We accept that too!"
The three Xida also raised their hands one after another. Their thoughts were simple. In this new organization, it was obvious that if they had power, they would have some say.
Judging from Lu Nie's attitude, he simply wanted to increase their strength.
Of course, Sheeta and the others are also very clear that since Lune has done all this for them, they will definitely give Lune corresponding rewards after they gain power.
But so what?
They are now like grass in the ninja world, and no one would even look at them if they died. Being needed and trusted is a luxury for them.
They are not irreplaceable, but they can be abandoned and replaced at any time. No matter what, they will seize this opportunity.
"Then get ready. You can come one by one."
Lu Nie did not bother to guess their thoughts. The reason why he gave them a chance was only because these people performed the best among the existing ones.
But it doesn't have to be them.
If the four Xidas are unwilling, he can replace them in batches at any time.
As for loyalty, it didn't matter. He had never expected these people to have such unwavering loyalty to him.
He just needed these people to temporarily help him manage the laboratory that Anker Bandian and Shennong had worked so hard to build. Besides, the lack of loyalty did not mean that Lu Nie had no means to control them.
"You are the first batch, and you will be the batch that I pay the most attention to. I will leave you some books and techniques later. If you want to go further, you'd better read and study the books and techniques I leave for you carefully.
In addition, if you accept the experiment, I will give you some corresponding tasks in the future. If you can do these tasks well, I will not be stingy with rewards.
At least, if you need power, the one who completes more tasks will gain the most power!"
With his arms crossed, Lu Nie sat upright in his seat, looking at the three people including Sheeta in front of him, and stated his purpose and conditions frankly without reservation.
"We have no objection! Serving you is what we should do!"
The four of them bowed to Lu Nie one after another and said respectfully.
Having witnessed the cruelty of the ninja world, experienced their own powerlessness, and recognized the truth of the ninja world, they are more realistic and sensible than anyone else.
"Very good, I can only stay here for half a month at most. During this half month, I will do my best to raise your strength to a level where you can survive in the ninja world.
In the early stages, I don't need you to fight for me, but I will try my best to give you some time to grow, and to get familiar with and master the power you have gained.
Do you still have questions? "
Lu Nie stood up from his chair and spoke to the four people. Seeing that the four of them shook their heads, indicating that they had no questions or objections, he pointed his finger at Sheeta.
"Then let's start with you. Are you a ninja from the Rain Village?"
"Yes! I'm a Genin from the Rain Village!" Sheeta, who was pointed at, walked out of the crowd, came in front of Lunie, bowed his head respectfully and replied.
"Then you must be familiar with the power of water jutsu and possess water-attributed chakra properties?" Lu Nie asked softly.
The Rain Country is just like the Water Country, and has many ninjas who are good at water jutsu and have the ability to change the nature of water-attributed chakra.
Sometimes the environment can better guide the ninja's own chakra attributes and power.
For example, in places with abundant water resources, it is easier to master water-attribute chakra. When launching water-style ninjutsu, the consumption of chakra will be smaller, and the power will be enhanced to a certain extent.
"Yes, I was born with water-attribute chakra, so I mastered three E-level and one C-level water-style ninjutsu," Sheeta replied.
Lu Ne gestured for Sheeta to lie on the operating table. He did not let the other three leave, but let them watch the entire process of his transformation on Sheeta.
The transformation was not completed overnight. It took three days before the transformation of Xida was nearly completed.
After moving the still unconscious Sheeta to another operating table, the remaining three people also underwent transformation by Lune in order.
Nearly half a month later, Xida, who was almost reborn, had been transformed together with the businessman Dado, the bandit Lu Mu, and the last one to be transformed, Shangao, who was still in a coma and powerless stage. All of them had been transformed.
At this moment, on the water outside Anker Bandian, Sheeta was trying hard to show her new power to Lune.
The one who served as Sheeta's assistant was Midoriki. He used to be skinny, but now he had noticeable muscles and was holding a long sword tightly in his hand.
"Are you sure?" After hearing Sheeta's request, Midoriki subconsciously glanced at Kane who was standing aside.
"Don't worry about me." Sheeta's face was full of confidence at this moment. He did not expect that he could obtain such powerful strength. After becoming familiar with his own power during this period of time, his admiration for Lunie has reached an indescribable level.
Seeing this, Midoriki stopped talking and swung his sword towards his body as Hida requested. However, the blade did not hit the vital parts as Hida said, but avoided them and landed on Hida's waist and abdomen.
The blade easily cut into Sheeta's body, but there was no blood spurting out as expected. Instead, Sheeta's body seemed to be made of water.
The blade cut through Hida's body and then came out from the other side. Hida, who should have been injured, was unharmed where the blade had passed.
"This……"
Midoriki looked at Hida, who had recovered, with his eyes wide open. If it weren't for the knife marks on his clothes, he would have almost thought that he had been under an illusion.
"The art of water transformation?"
Seeing this almost miraculous scene, Shisui instantly remembered the rumors recorded in the clan. As rivals during the Ninja World War, the Uchiha clan and the major bloodline families of the Hidden Mist Village had almost always had friction and fighting. Correspondingly, the clan also recorded the methods and bloodlines of those powerful enemies.
He had naturally seen the water transformation secret technique of the Hozuki clan, which was close to the bloodline limit, when he was browsing those records. Comparing the records of the clan with the current scene, Shisui almost subconsciously thought that Sheeta was a member of the Hozuki clan who was left behind.
"No!"
The next moment, Shisui, who had opened his Sharingan, overturned the idea in his head. Sheeta was just an ordinary Rain Ninja Genin, and the so-called water transformation technique was more like a self-activation according to a certain technique engraved in the body.
"It's not the water transformation technique. I have engraved a seal organ in his body that can be transferred to any part of the body.
As long as this organ is not discovered and destroyed, his body can switch between solid and fluid freely. Simple weapons such as kunai will not be able to hurt him.
The disadvantage is that he will only have a single attribute, that is, the nature of the water-attributed chakra. "Lu Nie saw Shisui's doubts and took the initiative to answer them for him.
In the future, places with water will become Sheeta's home turf. As he explores and masters his own abilities, as long as he doesn't encounter an enemy that can restrain him, he will become a headache for his opponents in the right environment.
Similar to Sheeta, there is Sango, who is still lying on the operating table, taking the medicine prepared by Lunie to promote the further integration of his new organs with his body. The power of the seal organ given to him is fire.
Like Sheeta, at critical moments, he can turn himself into flames to avoid damage and is immune to most fire escape techniques.
What was transformed in Green Wood were the meridians and physique of his body, which could give him a stronger body and strength, and he could also use some of the power of lightning.
The merchant Dado, according to his own requirements, gave him the ability to move in the shadows, conceal his own breath, steal information and escape.
The power of the four people is enough for the time being, as long as they don't reveal their own information and get targeted. When they are familiar with their own power, learn the ninjutsu and books he left for them, and understand how to cooperate, even the top ninjas from the five major ninja villages will have a high probability of losing their lives if they don't know the information.
